PREFACE
This book “KRISHNA KRIYA KAIWALYA”” is
written with the purpose of explaining how Bhagavan Sri Krishna has given the
Kriya Yoga throughMahavatar Babaji, Sri Sri Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri
Yukteswar and Paramahansa Sri Yoganada to us so that we will get out of misery
and live happily and also will have reunion with Brahman ultimately. and His
creation is not myth. It is reality. It is completely scientific.
A minimum of 15 – 20 years of
continuous, strenuous study is required to become a good doctor, engineer or a
scientist. So, to understand Spirituality definitely certain years of
continuous sadhana is required. Simultaneously, Spiritual books are also
required to be read. So study of books and practice of sadhana should go hand
in hand.
By showing a stone and magnifying it 10,000 times and
calling it a mountain does not Satisfy the student. If he is shown a mountain
by taking him to one as such shall Satisfy him and he will properly and
perfectly understand. So is the case with esoteric knowledge.
This book has come straight out of my
heart with easy illustrations in a scientific way. I was intuitively guided by
Guru& Babaji throughout the book. To understand God & His creation no
bombastic language or understanding slokas are required. Isss…. + Loka =
Sloka. So silence your inner world. You will find God. Too much of reading
books shall confuse us and creates ego. To realize the sweetness of a mango
just eat it. So God is.

Sri Krishna—the great
Avataar
Birth --- Details
Lord ShreeKrishna is
a very important Avataar of Shree Vishnu. Avataar means coming down to the
earth. Soorasen was the king of Mathura. Vasudeva was his son. Devaki was the
wife of Vasudeva. He had another wife called Rohini. She was staying in Vraja
under the protection of Nanda, the king of Vraja. Nanda was the friend of
Vasudeva. Ugrasen was the king of Bhoja. Kansa was his son and Devaki was his
daughter. One day Kansa was riding his chariot with his sister Devaki and
Brother-in-law Vasudev on the roads of his Bhoja kingdom. Then he heard a voice
telling him that the eigth offspring of his sister Devaki will be the cause of
his death. Hearing this the evilminded Kansa became furious and wanted to kill
his sister and brother-in-law. Devaki persuades him in not killing them with
the promise that each and every offspring shall be handed over to him to do
whatever he likes. Kansa puts both of them in jail. There after he kills six of
Devaki’s children one after another brutally.
Nanda was the king of
Vraja or Brindaavan. Yasoda was his wife. Yogamaya keeps the Adiseshu in the
womb of Rohini, another wife of Vasudeva, with the orders of Lord Srimaha
Vishnu. Adiseshu is the part of Lord Srimaha Vishnu. People think that the
seventh offspring of Yasoda was a miscarriage. Yogamaya herself takes birth in
the womb of yasoda, the wife of Nanda, as ordained by Lord Srimaha Vishnu.
Vishnu himself enters the womb of Devaki. After the birth of Vishnu, ordained
by Lord, Vasudeva carries the child in a basket crosses the river Yamuna and
goes to Brindavan. Yamuna herself gives the way so that Vasudeva can easily
cross the rfiver. He keeps the Lord in the bed of Yasoda. He returns the just
born yogamaya of Yasoda back to jail and keeps the infant on Devaki’s bed. Till
that time all the caretakers of the jail were sleeping as dead. Even the doors
were opened automatically. Hearing the cries of the child Kansa comes by
running to kill the eighth child. When he was about to kill the child the
yogamaya flies away and tells that the real male child is already born and
being brought up in Brindavan.
Nanda names the son
of Yasoda as SriKrishna and Rohini’s son as Balarama. Balarama is a part of
Paramatma i.e., Adiseshu. Srikrishna started showing his powers right from the
state of infancy. He kills a demon called Pootana who came in the guise of
giving milk to Srikrishna by sucking the milk of her poisoned breasts. In fact
this is a symbolism of sucking the poison of an evil heart by removing Tamasa
Guna. Poo means of full of Tana means materialism. Thereafter He kills
sakatasura symbolizing fickle mind. Likewise He kills Trunaavarta symbolizing
Taamasa Guna or negative quality. Nanda in fact was a devine person called
Drona. He is one of the eight divine vasus. His wife was Dhara meaning earth.
Drona was born as King Nanda of Vraja and Dhara as his wife Yasoda. SriKrishna
was born on Sravana Bahula Ashtami indicating the importance of practice of
Ashtaangayoga so that the darkness of ignorance can be uprooted. That day is
famous as Janmaashtami.
The great acts of
Srikrishna.
Srikrishna, the
incarnation of God, started showing his prowess right from the beginning of his
birth. He cherishes cow milk, butter and curd. These are the symbols of purity
that are required by Yogi. Fed up with his acts. one day Yasoda ties Srikrishna
to a big stone grinder that was used in those times for grinding paddy.
Whenever she wanted to put a knot the rope becomes shorter by two inches. Seing
his mother tired of tying the knot, Srikrishna obliges and gets tied to the
stone. This is to show the surrendering of God to his devotee. He rolls down
the grinding stone by crawling through two big trees. The trees fell down with
their roots. Two divine people come out of the felled trees. Their names are
Nalakoobara and Manigreeva. They are the arrogant sons of Kubera, the money
God. Cursed by Narada, the great wandering saint, they became trees. He kills
the demon who comes in the form of whirlwind. Mind is like a whirlwind.
Likewise he kills a demon called Bakaasura and also Aghaasura who comes in the
form of a python in Gokulam. These killings indicate that the devotee should be
beyond Gunas and have a fixed mind. Once in Gokulam the herds of cows and all
the cow herds were missing in Gokulam. Gokulam is a place near the banks of
Yamuna of Brindavan. Then Srikrishna himself takes all the forms of cows and
cowherds for full one year so as to remove the sorrow as well as doubts in the
minds of their parents and masters of the cows. This is the indication of
Srikrishna’s all pervasiveness. He also kills a poisonous snake called Kaaleeya
in the lake of Kalindi. This symbolizes the removal of desire, anger, greed,
aattachment, pride and envy so as to become divine. Gopi means thought(s). The
consciousness between the thoughts is called Krishnaconsciousness. Srikrishna
steals the attires of the Gopikas, the belles of Gokulam. This symbolizes bare all
before God. The thoughts of sadhaka should be totally on God and all other
things shall be secondary to him. He sends his friends to the Brahmins who were
doing yagna for food. The Brahmins ridicule the Gopalas, the friends of
srikrishna. Then the wives of those Brahmins bring food for Srikrishna and his
friends with utmost devotion. This indicates that the sadhaka must do his act
with concentration on God only but not on the methodical procedures or rituals.
Srikrishna lifts up Govardhan mountain with his little finger and holds it on
his little finger for seven days to protect his friends and cows from heavy
rains ordered by Lord Indra. Here Indra symbolizes mind and rain(s) indicates
thoughts. The sadhaka must get rid ohis thoughts on materialistic deeds and
develops his bondage with Brahman more and more. Srikrishna kills a demon Kesi
in Brindavan sent by Kansa. Kesi means hair. Hair represents tamoguna or
negative quality.
Kansa, the king of
Bhoja, sends his minister Akroora to Vraja to pick up Krishna and Balarama. On
the way to Bhoja kingdom Srikrishna kills Chanoora and Balarama kills Mushtika.
Both are the wrestlers sent by Kansa. At that time the age of both Srikrishna
and Balarama was five years. Later Srikrishna kills an elephant called Kuvalayapeeda.
This indicates the mighty strength of God. Kubja, the servant maid of Kansa
besmears Srikrishna with Sandalwood powder and adores him with a garland with
utmost reverence and dedication, He not only removes her hump back and ugliness
but also marries her clearly indicates the affection of God towards his
devotees. Sage saandeepa is the master of Srikrishna and Balarama. The son of
Sandeepa was swept away by sea. Both Srikrishna and Balaram goes into the sea
of Prabhasa and brings back the son and presents him to Saandeepa. This
symbolizes the importance of Sadguru..
Srikrishna kills Kansa. Kansa’s wives Astiand Prapti go to their father
Jarasandha, the king of Magadha. Jarasandha invades Mathura seventeen times to
kill Srikrishna. Evrytime he gets defeated and flees back to Magadha.
Srikrishna leaves him everytime with kindness and pity on him. Srikrishna
builts a town underneath the sea and keeps his folk there. He keeps Balaram in
Mathra. Kaalayavana is a very strong man. He was a friend of Jarasandha.
Kaalayavana runs after Srikrishna to kill him. Muchikunda was the son of
Maandhaata. After several years of penance he was resting in a cave. with
Yoganidra. Srikrishna enters this cage running and hides in a crner behind
Muchikund. The raging Kalayavana enters the cave and kicks Muchikund thinking
that he was Srikrishna. The disturbed Muchikund opens his yogic eyes. The rays
of radiance from his eyes electrocutes Kalayavana killing him instatntly. This
indicates not only the dexterity of Srikrishna but also the power of Yoga.
Bhishmaka was the king of Vidarbha. Rukmi was his son and Rukmini was his
daughter. Rukmini loves Srikrishna. He marries Rukmini by forcibly taking her
out from the clutches of her brother Rukmi. He marries Jambavati, the daughter of
Jambavant, Satyabhama, the daughter of Satrajit, mitravinda, the sister of
Avanti king, Satya, the daughter of Kosala king, Bhadra, the sister of Kekaya
king santardanaad, Lakshmana, the daughter of Mudra king. All these show the
universal love of God.
Srikrishna gets
Jarasandha killed by Bhima, one of the five Pandavas, shows the dexterity of
God. .Later on Srikrishna kills Sisupaala and
Dantavaktra and liberate them. Sisu means child like innocence of body
attachment. Danta means teething stage which also indicate child like innocence
of body attachment. One should get rid of this attachment for liberation.

Yoga giver Srikrishna
Imam vivaswate yogam
proktavaanaham avyayam vivaswaan manave praaha manurikshwaakavebraveet. Gita
4---1
From above sloka it
is clarified that Srikrishna is the giver of Yoga. In this sloka Krishna told
Arjuna:
The pure wisdom of
union of soul and spirit is called Jeevabrahmaikyagnaanam and is unperishable.
This knowledge is called Nishkaamakarmayoga. He says that he has imparted this
knowledge to Sun in the past. Sun is the replica of all pervading light of the
Brahman in Sahasrara Chakra on the top & centre of head called
Brahmarabdhram. This light of knowledge was imparted to Manu means descended to
Antahkarana or mind. Then it was imparted to Ikshwaaku. Iksh means eye. This
eye is existing in the place called Kootastha between two eyes of forehead.
This is called third eye. This eye can be opened through long and intensive
meditation. So this knowledge of uniting soul with Spirit descended to the
third eye. Then it was further descended to Rajarshis. Rajarshis means senses.
Then it is forgotten. That means Cosmic consciousness first enters
Brahmarandhram. Then enters Sahasraara Chakra. This is called Atma surya or
Sun. Then it descends to Antahkarana. From antahkarana to Agna +ve Chakra of
Kootastha, from Agna +ve Chakra to third eye in the Agna +ve Chakra, and from
third eye to Sense organs. Then Cosmic consciousness further percolates
throughout the body. Because of Maya we forget the source of energy by
indulging fully in worldly affairs. As such we suffer proportionate to our
forgetfulness of the source energy i.e., God the father.after long sufferings,
we turn to a Sadguru like Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda for learning Yoga so as
to return to our home i.e., God the father. This Sadhana is for that only. In
this Sadhana the business of senses are to be halted first through Pranayama
techniques. Then the unsteady mind & life force are made steady. By this
process the third in the Agna +ve Chakra is opened. Then with incessant
meditation the consciousness of sadhaka or meditator reaches Atmasurya or sun
soul in sahasrara chakra. Then the consciousness exit through Brahmarandhra and
merges with the Spirit. This is called the union of soul and Spirit or
Kaivalya. Srikrishna, the greatest Yogi, exhorted this knowledge
in Gita through several types of Pranayama techniques. Each and every technique
is a Yagna for which the investment is Swaasa or Breath but not any butchering
of an innocent animal.
The total period of
existence of Srikrishna, the greatest incarnation is 125 years, 7 months and 8
days. He was 87 years old at the time of Gita Knowledge to Arjuna.
Lord Krishna says:
Oh, Arjuna be a nimittamaatra that is do your duty as though you are working
for God without aspiring for result. In this way even if you are to kill people
in thousands in this Mahabharata war, you will not become a sinner. So each and
every body who follows this dictum of Bhagavan Srikrishna in letter and spirit
shall become a Krishnian.
Lord Jesus Christ
says: if some one gives a slap to you then show the other cheek. So each and
every body who follows this dictum of Lord Jesus Christ in letter and spirit
shall become a Christian.
Arjuna Vishaada,
Sankhya, karma, Gnaana and AtmasamyamaYogas are called Karma Shatkam which
means Sravanam (hearing).
Vignaana,
Aksharaparabrahma, Rajavidya rajaguhya, vibhuti, viswaroopa sandarsana and
Bhakti Yogas are called Bhakti Shatkam which means Mananam (memorising).
Kshetrakshtragnavibhaga,
gunatrayavibhaga, purushottamaprapti, aivasurasampadwibhaga, Sraddhatraya
vibhaga and Mokshasanyasa yogas are called Gnanashatkam which means
nidhidhyasanam or Samadhi meditation.
The subtle mind
consists of impressions of billions of unfulfilled desires of the past births. These
will be completely eliminated through Yoga Samadhi. The Samadhi acquired Yogi
shall benefit not only himself but also the people around him. In super
conscious level Yogi shall acquire the Theta wave state. At this state the Yogi
shall require minimum glucose. To obtain the state of divinity is the ultimate
goal of meditator.
The brain shall
respond to physical problems. The mind responds to internal problems. As such
to obtain divinity one should divert one’s mind internally. Mind can be made
steady either by meditation on God or by Gnana i.e., Wisdom. Cerebrum is the
centre of consciousness and seat of voluntary process in human skull.
Cerebellum is the seat of coordinating centre. This Cerebellum does the work
without any hesitation /interruption in conjunction with Cerebrum and causes
peace and tranquility. When there is hindrance to this process i.e., when
negativity occurs the coordinating centre i.e., Cerebellum cannot work with
Centre of consciousness & voluntary process i.e., Cerebrum due to hesitation.
The more the hesitation of Cerebellum the more is the disturbance. This leads
to the faux pass of the human. Then more and more he will have Greediness,
revenge and miserliness. Habit of telling lies shall be taking place in human
sub consciousness. When the meditator is acquiring divine nature he shall hear
the auspicious sound of OM. This means his KUNDALINI is awakening. This
awakened KUNDALINI further will be hastened by Diensephalan. The Cerebrum &
pineal gland are responsible for super conscious state. This super conscious
state in Sanskrit is called Aadhyaatmika Kendra. This pineal gland start drying
up from the age of seventh year. This leads to destruction of constructive
attitude. Limbic system in the brain is responsible for mental behaviour/subtle
body. This mental state in Sanskrit is called Aadhidaiwika Kendra. Hypothelmus
gland is responsible for mental behaviour/subtle body. Pituitary gland is
behind the kootastha i.e., the place behind the eyes in the Aagna+chakra.
Hypothelmus gland is sandwiched between Aagna+chakra and Pituitary gland. This
Aagna+chakra commands the physical body issuing instructions. This physical
state in Sanskrit is called Aadibhowtika Kendra. Cerebellum is the coordinator
of physical (Aadibhowtika) and super conscious (Aadhyaatmika) states.
The excitation of
Pineal gland is imperative for constructive ideas. For this the third eye
between two eye brows is required to be excited.. For this kriyayoga and the
chanting of Gayatri mantra is essential. Using the yogic methods for opening of
third eye shall lead to mental as well as physical happiness and hence
healthiness.
Melatonium is the
chemical required for sound sleep. If this chemical is active for 1 ½ hour it
is enough for sound sleep. This Melatonium is organized by Pineal gland.
Because of the drying up of Pineal gland we will not get proper sleep and hence
restlessness.
The Aagna+chakra in
the kootastha shall be sending Its instructions to the other chakras/
plexus/junction Boxes through the Pitutary gland behind the eyes. These
instructions are received by Exocrine & Endocrine glands. Exocrine glands
are associated with digestive system. Endocrine glands are duct less glands
secreting hormones directly into the blood which carries these hormones to the
organs in the body. These hormones decrease or increase carbohydrates, proteins
and lipids acting through the cells. These hormones make the cells to prepare
new proteins or help the cells to grow or act on other endocrine glands for
controlling their function. For example Manipura chakra at the navel consists
of adrenalin gland , Anaahata chakra at the Heart consists of Thymus gland.
Visuddha chakra at the throat consists of Thyroid gland get instructions from
the Aagna+chakra like this. So it is essential to do Yoga for the healthy
functioning of these chakras or junction boxes.
For example:
After getting up from
the bed, after attending nature calls, if one does take bath and do Soorya
namaskaarams ( certain Yogaasanaas
specifically to be done at Sun rise & Sun set time) then Moolaadhara chakra
and its related organs shall work healthily. If one takes food with the money
earned by him justly and not by any illegal means then his Swadhisthaana Chakra
and its related organs shall function healthily. If one admires the beauty of
nature and starts seeing in the nature then his Manipura Chakra and its related
organs shall function healthily. Participating whole heartedly in Cosmic
Chantings, Prayers, and listening to Classical and tender music like Karnataka &
Hindustaani etc but not percussionist loud music and trying to listen to Divine
Sound OM then his Visuddha chakra and its related organs shall function
healthily. If one hears Divine Sound OM in Meditation then his KUNDALINI is
awakened. For functioning of Thymus gland in Heart Yoga is required. Blood
circulation is improved by Yoga meditation. Then each and every cell shall get
oxygen. Then both sympathetic para sympathetic nerves shall work in
coordination.
Brain consists of
three types neuro harmones which are responsible for waata(gas), pitta(heat)
and sleshmam(phlegm). These three are to be balanced for proper health. For
proper health one should have strong immune system. For this Mitochondria in
the cells is to be improved. Mitochondria is a power generator which exists in
each living cell.
If the breathing
system is improper then the system of removing carbon in the blood and adding
oxygen in the lungs shall be in peril. This system of oxygenating blood is done
by lungs at the rate of 15 times per second. This is called pulse rate. 35% of
Oxygen was available in the nature 100 years ago. Presently it is reduced to
19%. But oxygen is very much required for healthy living. So only Yogi can
withstand this deficiency due to his techniques of Pranayama i.e., proper
breathing techniques. The stage has come to getting Oxygen from commercial
Oxygen selling saloons in countries like Japan making Oxygen Even the birds of
nature are not available due to emission of Radio waves from microwave towers
etc.. One can increase his pulse rate by practicing Antah kumbhaka Pranayama
breathing techniques. One can decrease his pulse rate by practicing Bahya
kumbhaka Pranayama breathing techniques. Pranayama breathing techniques.consist
of controlling atanomous nervous system, immunization capacity. If one can hear
divine sound OM then he can rejuvenate the diseased parts. With the increase of
KUNDALINI power his life force will in crease and hence he remains healthy and
happy..
Normally Yogi gets
answers to his queries in his Samadhi state. How he gets answers is beyond
logic. This is called intuition. Don’t confuse intuition with intellect.
Intellectual observations may be right or wrong but intutional ideas cannot be
wrong.
10 lakhs years of
healthy life is required for removal of accumulated Karma. Then only animal man
becomes man, from man he will btransformed to divine man and from there to GOD
the father. This is possible only through practice of astaangaYoga of Sage
Patanjali. Illiterate shall utilize his intellect up to 5%, learned up to 8%,
and the Yogi utilizes the total 100% intelligence through Astaanga Yoga. To
impart the benefits of Yoga to the mankind is the bounden duty of Yogi. Then it
is up to the people to practice Yoga Meditation i.e., Dhyana or not. One cannot
find unlimited happiness in the limited world. It is something like searching
water in the mirages. Yogi only can find happiness in meditation. So one should
excite the sleeping KUNDALINI in Mooladhara chakra and wake it up and then the
awakened KUNDALINI should be guided to reach Sahasrara chakra in the head. Then
only one will travel from inertia to divinity.
SOORYA NAADI----
CHANDRA NAADI
Chandra naadi exists
in the left nostril and Surya naadi exists in the right nostril. That is if the
life force enters through left nostril then it is called Chandra naadi. If the
life force enters through right nostril then it is called Surya naadi. In
Sanskrit these naadis are also called swaraas.
One should maintain
soorya naadi i.e., breathing is to be done through right nostril on Sunday,
Tuesday, Thursday (full moon to new moon i.e., Krishnapaksha) and Saturday
morning. Similarly Chandra naadi i.e., breathing is to be done through left
nostril on Monday, wednesday, Thursday (new moon to full moon i.e., shukla
paksha), Friday and Saturday night.. Otherwise one will face negative
tendencies like conflicts in the house, personal works will be spoiled ,
unnecessary travels and ill health.. By putting a wooden arms rest in the
armpits and pressing it tightly or by lying on the left arm on even wooden
flank/ floor shall make the life force to enter through the right nostril
(soorya naadi) and vice versa.
The KUNDALINI power
in micro level is called MAYA in macro level. The ancient sages have found out
that KUNDALINI power is the root cause of creation , existence and destruction.
KUNDALINI power exists in animated and inanimated things.
Each living cell
consists of life force in the form of genes. This gene exists in chromosome.
The genes containing life force are the carriers of hereditary qualities. The
gene contains very important DNA molecule. If we can balance the six acids of
DNA we can get rid of old age & diseases. Each and ever human is having
99.9% similar genes. The remaining .01% of genes makes the difference amongst
the humans with different colour, quality & nature.
KRIYAYOGA
We need to spend
nearly 40 thousands of proteins daily for our energy needs. With the regular
practice of Kriyayoga we can increase these proteins and can remove ageing and
diseases. The lack of coordination betweens organs like lever, heart and
kidneys etc and Live cells are the main reason for ageing and diseases. Genes
only can make the sick cells healthy. The required amount of push up can be
given to genes with KriyaYoga thus leading to the coordination betweens organs
like lever, heart and kidneys etc.
Every live cell is
the replica of human being. Live cell contains GENE, GENE contains CHROZOME,
CHROZOME contains DNA. DNA molecule is very important constituent part of Live
cell. Every live cell can produce protein, GENE and ENZYMES. GENE shall tell
herediray qualities. HARMONES will provide the necessary fillip to these Genes
and causes healthiness. Only 100 out of thousands of genes that cause ill
health were so far found out. It may take number of years to find out the rest
of the disease causing Genes. With chakra dhyana , beejakshara dhyana in the
chakraas i.e., chanting of root word in the respective plexus, kriya yoga etc.,
one can produce the required amount of 40-50 thousands of proteins for the
health of the body, and hence can live with peace and tranquility with out any
ill health. By over indulging in senses man can not drink or experience the
sweetness inherent in the living cell.
Every living cell contain
six acids viz., Deoxy adenylic, guanylic, Ribosy, & citedylic acids,
thymidylic & phosphoric acids and also sweetness. The meditator or the
aspiring Yogi while doing OMmeditation and then settles in Sahasrara chakra in
the top of the head with KHECHARI MUDRA ( a particular Yogic posture) can
definitely experience this sweetness. This sweetness enters through idea body
to subtle and then to physical body.
Ida naadi is river
Ganga, Pingala naadi is river Yamuna and Sushumna is river Saraswati. These three
subtle naadis merge at Kootastha or AAgna + chakra. This is called confluence
of three rivers i.e., Ganga, Yamuna & Saraswati. The life force or
Jeewaatma in the Kootastha reaches Sahasraara through only Sushumna. This is
called samaadhi state. The rest of the nadis i.e., Ida and Pingala remain at
Kootastha only.
If you
inhale(poorakam) and fill the kootastha (the place between eye brows) with life
force fully and then exhale (rechakam) life force fully out of Moolaadhara
chakra then there will be generation of electro magnetic force. Surrendering
Senses to GOD is called or prayer. Surrendering Ida, pingala & sushumna and
5 life forces is called sacred water ablutions (Abhishekamu) to GOD,
Surrendering antahkarana (Mind) is called lighting candle before GOD
Surrendering all the six plexuses is called offering flowers to GOD,
surrendering quality of fire in Manipura Chakra is called burning incense stick
before GOD, surrendering all your desires is called offering food (naiwedyamu)
to GOD. This is called Eeswara pranidhaanamu or complete surrender.
The meditation in
plexus(chakraas) removes cruelty, revengeful attitude & stealing quality in
Mooladhara chakra, doubtfulness in Swadhisthaana, hatred and one upmanship in
Manipura, passionate mind & I am superior to everybody type of quality in
Anaahata, greediness & chatter box quality in Visuddha and pride&
hastiness in aagna chakraas.
ONTOLOGY
King Janaka &
gargi were the disciples of Sage yaagnyawalka. Sage yaagnyawalka.was worshipper
of SUN GOD. Due to this he could give Sukla Yajur vedam ( one of the ancient
Vedas) to the humanity. Kaatyani & Mitreyi were the wives of Sage
yaagnyawalka. He wanted to distribute all his property to his two wives.
Mitreyi understands that physical wealth does not provide immortality. The
conversation between Sage yaagnyawalka and Mitreyi is culminated into a
beautiful Upanishad called Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad.
Sarwabhuteshudaatmaanam

ASHTAANGAYOGA
1) YAMA—non-violence,
truth, non stealing, celibacy, not expecting anything from others,
2) NIYAMA—cleanliness
of body &mind, contentment, Readingreligious books, total
surrender to God,
3) AASANA---- firm
sitting posture,
4) PRAANAAYAAMA---
control over breath,
5)
PRATYAAHAARA--=withdrawal of business of senses,
6) DHAARANA---
concentration on one thing,
7) DHYAANA----
incessant concentration on GOD only,
8) SAMADHI--- giving
up all forms of GOD, merging with GOD the FATHER.
DHARANA, DHYAANA&
SAMADHI together are called SAMYAMA.
MEDITATION will start
with seed and ultimately it becomes seed less. That means you first meditate on
God, merge with Him and become God yourself. Suppose there is a fire accident
in Delhi. Fire is having same burning quality everywhere. But nothing happened
here as there is no fire accident in Hyderabad. Likewise my Sadguru Sri
Yoganada Swami is burning with God so he has become an illuminated sage. That
fire is not within me I am an ordinary mortal. Na tasya rogo na zaraa na mrityu
praaptasya yogaagnimayam sareeram. Shedding mortality, ageing and disease, the
person doing meditation shall be burning with Yoga fire. Beatitude is obtained
by people who do meditation and turn his mind inwards not outwards.

Mind is of two types
fickle and stable. Stable mind is desireless and hence happy. fickle mind
causes misery and unhappiness. That is why mind is the root cause of misery and
liberty.
GLANDS------ PLEXUSES
(CHAKRAAS)
Glands are two types
(1) Exocrine glands associated with digestive system (2) Duct less Endocrine
glands. These glands produces hormones which work on organs like kidneys, heart
etc., to make these organs to do the required work for us and to keep the body
healthy.
The adrenal gland
look like cap on each kidney. This adrenal Gland is of two parts. The outer
Cortex of adrenal gland secrets two types of hormones viz., Cortisol for
regulating the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats & proteins and Aldosterone
for maintenance of blood volume & sodium levels. The inner medulla of adrenal
gland secrets adrenaline hormone for withstanding the physical & mental
stress, pain. Meditation on Swaadhisthaana chakra helps us to maintain good
health so that there will not be kidney stones, frequent urination. Pancreas
releases two harmones (1) Insulin hormone for maintaining blood glucose levels
failing which leads to Diabetes Mellitus. (2) Glucagon hormone is secreted when
glucose levels are low to act on liver. The meditation on Manipura chakra helps
to maintain these hormones thereby helping us to be healthy.

Rigveda. Sacrifices performed as per Rigveda, a Brahmin called Hota reads the
chantings called Riks.
Aham Brahmaasmi -----
I am the Brahma. is a great sentence from Brihadaaranyhaka Upanishad of
Yajurveda. Sacrifices performed as per Yajurveda, a Brahmin called Adharva
reads the chantings .

Upanishad of Atharvanaveda. Sacrifices performed as per Atharvanaveda., Hota,
Atharva & Udgaatha all together read the chantings . But the whole
responsibility is of Brahma.
While chanting the
Mantraas or sacred chantings a definite procedure is followed. Some mantras are
to be chanted by raising the tone called Udatta, some are to be chanted in
lower tone called Anudatta, and some are in a balanced tone called Swaritha.
The vocal chords are to be trained like this.

Awaken from the
ignorance. Be catious till you get Paramaatma. Obtaining this spiritual wisdom
is like walking on sharp razor like knife. Learned say that way is difficult
but not impossible.
VEDA is having three
parts.
1) SAMHITA 2)
BRAAHMANAAS
3) ARANYAKAAS &
4) UPANISHAD
1) SAMHITA--- It is
like a tree. This part contains chantings.
2) BRAAHMANAAS
------- It is like a flower. Yagnam or Sacrifice with chantings.
3) ARANYAKAAS------It
is like a fruit. Cross the barrier between PARA and APARA.
4)
UPANISHAD------Essence of that VEDA. Interiorization and then merge with
Brahman.
Sacrifice or Yagna is
of three types.
1) PAAKA YAGNA 2)
HAVIR YAGNA &
3) SOMA YAGNA.
1) PAAKA
YAGNA----This of seven types viz., Ashtaka , sthaaleepaaka, parvaana, sraavani,
agrahayaani, chaitri & aswaayuja. There will not be any animal sacrificing.
2) HAVIR YAGNA----
This of seven types viz., agniyathana, agnihotra, darsapoornamaasa, agraayana,
chaaturmaasya. There will not be sacrifices of animals in these five types.
Niroodhapasubandha& satraamani will have animal sacrifices.
3) SOMA YAGNA-------
This of seven types viz.,agnisthomaa, atyaagnisthomaa, uktya, shodasi,
vaajapeya, athiratra, & aaporyamaa. There will be animal sacrifices in all
these seven types. In Vajapeya yagna 23 animals are sacrificed. Apart from
these there will be one more Yagna called ASWAMEDHA in which 100 horses are to
be sacrificed. This yagna is exclusively meant for Kshatriyaas, a warrior
class. In fact sacrifice means one has to shed all the unwanted negative things
of the senses that are obstructing him to have reunion with God the Father.

arthawaada---idea behind his rendition, (6) upapatthi---to establish the thing
of his rendition, (7) upasamhaaram---- meaningful ending.
PRINCIPLES OF
MAHESWARA
riluk, e oy, I voch,
hayawarat, lan, nyamannanam, yabhagna, ghadadhash, jabagadadhas,
khaphachathadhav Ayiun, , kapay, were the initial sounds or vibrations that
comes out of OM. These are root cause of VOWELS & CONSONENTS.
ANCIENT GRAMMAR
In Vedas and the
Poetry that followed, different types of principles of Grammar called Chandas
is used. Each Sloka or verse consists of four stanzas. Each stanza will have
eight alphabets or letters. Each letter may be a vowel or a letter formed due
to the conjunction of a vowel and consonant. The sloka so formed with this sort
of metering is called anushthubh chandas. For example the well known
“”Suklaambharadharam vishnum “” of eight letter metering Sloka is of anushthubh
chandas. Every Mantra or chanting will have a reigning deity, one typical
procedure as illustrated above, and the sage related to that Mantra who got it
during his meditation. While chanting a Mantra we must keep our hands on our
head thinking that the feet of the sage who has given that Mantra is on our
head and hence we are respecting him by touching his feet.
Mantras of Veda have
different types of meters of 9, 11,& 12 letters chandas or grammar. They
are Gaayatri, usnik, anushtubh, brihati, pankti, trishtubh, jagati .
In Vedic times the
first poetic marvel was the epic RAMAAYANA written by Sage Waalmeeki. The first
Sloka was----maanishaadaprathishtham twam agamaha saaswateesamaha. Yat
krauncham mithnaadekam awadhih kaamamohitam.
This verse of
vaalmeeki Ramaayana is having two meanings. (1) Oh! Hunter, you have killed
that krauncha bird which was happily pecking with his female bird. Live in
restlessness. (2) Oh! Rama, The couple viz., Ravana and Mandodari were endowed with
lust & ignorance. You have killed Ravana. With this killing you will earn
eternal fame. Here the male bird is Ravana, the demon, and Mandodari is female
bird. The hunter is Rama who is the Avatara of Lord Sri Mahavishnu.
SACRIFICES MENTIONED

One who is contented
with what he gets, beyond the misery& happiness, not endowed with jealousy

Everything is Spirit
or Brahman only. The offerings, process of offerings, who does offerings, the
thing that was put into the fire of spirit. Here offerings means business of
senses, offerer is sadhaka the meditator, and lastly the thing that is offered
is life force. Why because the thing that is a part of Spirit i.e., Aatman has
to merge with Paramaatma or Parabrahma or simply Brahman. As such the person
who is meditating with Pranaayaama process(es) has to merge with Brahman only.
That is the ultimate goal.

Some persons (sadhaka
or devotee) are worshipping the deities. That means they are meditating on the
Chakras. Some sadhakaas with courage are directly meditating on Sahasraara
chakra to get merged with Brahman. In day to day life also, some take the risk
of starting a big business withot any experience whatsoever or meets a person
of higher authority without any fear.

Certain devotees
withdraw the powers of hearing, smelling, tasting, touch & seeing and offer
as oblations in the fire of inner control.
This is called
PRATYAAHAARA technique of ashtaanga Yoga. Paramahansa Yogananda calls this
technique as switching of sense telephones. i.e., fire of inner control.

Some devotees are
obstructing the paths of incoming breath i.e., Praana, and outgoing breath
i.e., apaana. By doing this they are putting Praana into Apaana and Apaana into
Praana. This is nothing but LIFE CONTROL TECHNIQUE OF KRIYA YOGA. It is a
wonderful Pranayama Technique of sending Praana into the Agna + chakra
(kootastha) and then to Sahasrara and from there the apaana to Moolaadhaara
chakra through a subtle naadi of Spinal chord called Sushumna. Sadguru Sri Sri
Paramahansa Yogananda says by doing Kriya Yoga Pranayama, the bodily decay
associated with apana stops. The devotee realizes the illusion of growth and
decay of the body as flesh but of lifetrons. Kriya Yoga is not breath control
but life force control.

Some devotees are
consuming limited food. They are submitting life force into life force itself.
That means the businesses of organs of action (karmendriyas) i.e.,
assimilation, metabolism etc and the businesses of organs of senses like
hearing power, smelling power etc., are controlled by certain devotees. With
this the mind is controlled. There by unsteady life force becomes steady. Mind
can be controlled in two ways, one through the path of Gnana or second through
the path of dhyana (meditation). With the steady mind and steady Prana the Atma
will get united with Brahman. One can learn this technique through YSS lessons
as taught by the Great Guru Sri Sri Paraamahansa Yogananda.

Those who perform any
one of the above mentioned spiritual fire ceremonies shall definitely be
benefited by reuniting with Spirit from where they came. The person who does
not perform even a spiritual fire ceremony cannot be happy even on the earth,
so how can he experience the beatitude or eternal happiness in Spirit?
Evam bahuvidhaa

All these spiritual
fire sacrifices are expatiated in VEDAS. You cannot learn from books. Know them
from the experienced. Without doing Karma you cannot get wisdom. One should
learn it from Sadguru like Sri Paramahansa Yogananda. No need of sacrificing
innocent animals.
Sreyan

All karma ultimately
ends with gnaana i.e., wisdom. The wisdom gained by doing spiritual fire
ceremonies through praanaayaama techniques are far superior and eternal
compared to material sacrifices. After the ultimate goal is the reunion of
Atman and Paramaatmman. All other actions are for removing hunger of this
physical body only.
One cannot understand
7th table without understanding the first six tables in numerical
mathematics. Similarly allegorically one should go through these practices.
Then only one can do the superior spiritual fire techniques of Pranayama. We
are able to explain to our children so many things of Mathematics& other
subjects because of the past study experience of those respective subjects.
That is why the present depends on the past and the future depends on the
present.

That eternal wisdom
one should gain it from a sadguru by total surrendering of service and
reverence to Him. That Sadguru definitely imparts that Brahma vidya (wisdom of
truth) to you. But we must not pester him with our inquisitions when He is
doing meditation.
Apichedasi

Even though we have
committed gravest blunders in the past if we start now doing sadhana or
spiritual fire techniques of pranayama, we can be saved from further falling
down. The reunion of Atman with Brahman is possible even if you are a novice
and starts sadhana now.

Even if he is seeing,
hearing, touching, smelling, walking, grasping, breathing, talking, the
meditating yogi perceives that the senses are doing their respective roles and
he is only witnessing. . he will not feel any responsibility.

Yogi is superior to
the body disciplining ascetics, pundits who are well versed with religious
books or scriptures, persons who think that work is worship or persons who do
the vedic rituals. After graduating from electrical engineering , if a person
cannot fix a fuse cartridge then what is the utility of that studies. Like wise
after doing all the above things if those works/rituals are not helpful to him
to unite with Brahman they are all futile. That is why Yogi who does spiritual
fire techniques of Pranayama is definitely superior to all.

VIBRATION(s)
Vibration is the
cause of the sound. So vibration is the cause and sound is the effect. OM is
the sound without any vibration. This OM travels or flows through VOID or
VACCUM or ANTARIKSHA. This Antariksha is subtler than space. This is called
VYOMAM. Physical (sthoola antahkarana) mind cannot perceive this Vyomam. For
this Subtle Antahkarana (mind) or infinited mind is required. Normal Sound is
ultimately absorbed into this Vyomam i.e., Soundless Sound OM. The sages found
out that this Vyomam is the root cause of all Sounds. That means all sounds
emanate from this Vyomam. With indepth concentration one can hear the sounds of
the past and future sounds. More the wave length less the vibration or
frequency and also less the wave travels, less the wave length more the
vibration or frequency and also more the wave travels. The Anaahata sound that
emanates from Anahata chakra is vibrationless OM. This OM SOUND is timeless,
spaceless and travels infinite space forever nand forever eternally. This OM
can produce and destroy any number of universes. The beginning of Sound
(Sabdam) is called SPHOTAM. Every idea comes out of this Sphotam only. The
creation comes out of Sphotam. bindu (Point) is the individual wave of infinite
ocean.
Avarana means hiding
power, vikshepana means expanding power. Baalyam (Infancy) means undeveloped
sudra state. Yavvanam (Youth) means developing waisyaa state. Kaumaram (middle
age) means capable of ruling kshatriya state. Vaardhakyam (Old age) means wisdom
experienced of Brahman state. With the gained wisdom one understands the
emptiness of this physical world and hence tries for reunion of Atman with
Brahman.

GOD with folded hands Patanjali was born to his father. That is the Sanskrit
meaning of Patanjali. The combination of Severe Penance, reading&
understanding of scriptures, and total surrender to GOD is called Kriyayoga.
Patanjali was born to his parents like this. Surrendering all the results of
Karma to God is called Eeswara pranidhaanam. Patanjali is a replica of reunion
of Atman and Brahman. Physical exercises, self control and meditating on OM are
the constituents of Kriya yoga. Kriyayoga is a metaphysical procedure. The
blood is decarbonized and will invigorate with life force. The living cells in
the head are having positive polarity. The cells in the remaining body are
having negative polarity. The blood invigorated with life force shall reduce
the cell decay. The heart gets relief. Stopping the breath is given much
importance in Rajayoga. . in KRIYAYOGA, life force is controlled, spinal cord
is magnetized, life force is directed to Sahasraara chakra on the top centre of
the head, so that the nerves in the head get relief and ability. Breath is
having energy only but not awareness. Life force is having both energy and
awareness.

The OMsound that is
heard in meditation is the name of GOD.

Patanjali yoga sutras
2---49
After mastering the
sitting posture in meditation, the control over breath is mastered. This
mastery leads to liberation as the breath is the only cord or link between
Brahman and this inert body.
The meditating Yogi
hears OM sound during his meditation. This will lead to the contact of
illuminated divine fields. Yogi experiences in SAVIKALPA SAMADHI the union of
his consciousness is merging with universal consciousness, life force
withdrawal and the body is stiffened as dead. In NIRVIKALPA SAMADHI state Yogi
not only experiences the above, but also cherishes these experiences or does
not lose these experiences while doing his worldly duties. Kriya yoga hastened
the development of man.
There is one Raasee
on either side of each chakra (Plexus) from Mooladhara in the bottom to Agna +
chakra in Kootastham( the place between two eye brows). With mooladhara having
2 Rasees, swadhishtaana (2), manipura (2), anaahata (2), visuddha(2), Agna (2
rasees), it comes to total of 12 rasees. The displacement of planet Sun in each
month from one Rasi to another Rasi of 12 rasees is called sankramanam. So
there are 12 displacements for Sun which comes to one year. Out of these two
sankramanams are very important. They are; when Sun enters Makara raasi it is
Makara Sankranti, this is called northern solstice or UTTARAYANAM, and when Sun
enters Karkata raasi it is karkataka Sankranti, this is called southern
solstice or DAKHINAYANAM. Kriyayogi shall direct his life force from Mooladhara
chakra to Agna chakra in kootastha, and from Agna chakra in kootastha to
Mooladhara chakra at the bottom of spinal cord. By doing this he will be seeing
the Atman (Sun) in all these six chakraas six times while directing his life
force from Mooladhara chakra to Agna chakra in kootastha, and six times again
while directing his life force from Agna chakra in kootastha to Mooladhara
chakra at the bottom of spinal cord. This amounts to seeing the Atman (Sun) 12
times each time he does one KRIYA. So the Kriya yogi experiences his One year
past Karma in one KRIYA in a matter of say 45 seconds. That is why Kriya Yoga
is aeroplane way of reaching GOD.
10 lakhs years of
healthy life is required to experience our past karma. It is highly impossible
as no one can live more than 100 years that too healthy life. As we cover long
distance within a matter of few hours by aircraft which is otherwise may take
years, likewise Kriya Yoga is. In one life time itself kriya yogi can
experience 10 lakhs years of development. Ordinarily in 6,12,18,24,30,36,42
& 48 years Kriya yogi can achieve wonderful development.
Kriyayogi shall take
the experiences of his sadhana alongwith him to his next incarnation. The life
of Kriyayogi is not be influenced by his karma of his past births. His life
will be completely guided by his Atman. Kriya Yoga is to be practiced with
controlled food habits and in complete solitude. Han sau is also Yoga procedure
which can be done either before or after the meals, in complete solitude, or in
group and even while traveling when you are not the driver. Kriya Yoga consists
of:----
1) Hatha Yoga
(energisation exercises, (2) Layayoga ( Han sau & OM techniques) (3)
Karmayoga (Service), (4) Mantrayoga (chanting appropriate Root word or
Beejaakshar in each Chakra) & (5) Rajayoga ( pranayama techniques)…
The space between eye
brows is called kootastha or Agnaa+. This Kootastha is +ve pole. Mooladhara
Chakra is –ve pole. When the life force is rotated from Mooladhara Chakrai.e.,
–ve pole to Kootastha i.e., +ve pole, and again from Kootastha to Mooladhara,
the spinal cord is energized. Then all the currents from Mooladhara and
Visuddha chakra in the throat are directed to Sahasraara. Then the Yogi shall
get unparalleled bliss. If Certain appropriate Mudraa or posture made with hand
(given in the chart) in the relative Chakra is also to be done with this
sadhana. Then the spinal chord is further energized. Life force is having both
awareness and energy. Oxygen is having only energy. Kriyayoaga is funeral to
all sorrows, physical, mental & spiritual. Both body and mind will come
under the control of Kriyayogi. This control of body and mind leads to
kundalini awakening. Then the yogi obtains pure consciousness state. Three
things are responsible for our uncontrolled behaviour. They are (1) Mind, (2) Breath and (3) Desire. If these three
are controlled then we can achieve pure consciousness state.
The left side of
spinal cord exists subtle Ida naadi, right side exists subtle pingala naadi and
in the middle of subtle spinal exists sushumna naadi. Ida takes care of mental
business, pingala takes care of physical business and sushumna naadi
coordinates both mental and physical problems. Chakraas are something like junction
boxes. Unsteady breath causes unsteady mind. Pranayama is the only way to have
steady mind. Mind forms from the age of eight years. Till then the boy/girl
will lead the life merrily and happily due to the guidance of soul. That is the
region we say children are the Gods.
Ancient religions
Kapalika religion:
Naraseershakusesayai
rakrityaa rudhiraaktai rmaithunaacha bhaieawaarchaam
Umayaa samaayaa
saroruhaakshyaa kathamaa slishta wapur mudam prayaayaata.
Sankara vijayam
15---21---14
There was a religion
called Kapalika matam. The followers of this religion is called Kaapaalikaas.
Kaapalikaas had a leader called Krakacha. As per his dictum the kaapalikaas
wear blooded skulls as a garland around their neck. They have to worship their
deity with liquor. Otherwise their deity Kaalabhairawa with his consort Parwati
will not be happy and hence will not appear before them. They believe only in
merrymaking. Drinking and sex with or promiscuity with whom so ever they like
irrespective of whatsoever may be the relationship are quite common for them
and it is not a sin. Enjoy the life and worship Kalaabhairawa. At that time
period, Sri Adi Sankaraachaarya, the great saint, was visiting Rameshwaram
temple situated in the South India. Sri Adi Sankaraachaarya was the founder of
Adwaita siddhaanta. This siddhaanta says that except God nothing else exists.
God only is seems to be appearing in different forms. God is only reality, rest
everything is nothing but delusion.
He was followed by
his disciples like sri Padmapaada, hastaamalaka, samitpaani, chidwilaasa,
gnaanakanda, wishnugupta, suddhakeerti, bhaanumareechi, krishnadarsana,
buddhivriddhi, virinchipaada, suddhaananta and Anandagiri etc. they were all
traveling under the protective cover of a king called Sudhanva and his
soldiers. King Sudhanva killed several followers of Krakacha who were torturing
the followers of Sri Adi Sankaraachaarya. Angered by this Krakacha wanted to
kill the followers of Sri Adi Sankaraachaarya with an axe.

Sankara vijayam
15—21—21
Seeing his followers
are running hither and thither with fear, to save his fleeing followers, Aadi
Sankaraachaarya killed those kaapalikaas wearing a Trisoola. Trisoola is a
metalled weapon with three sharp iron edges. Even a sage can follow violence
and kill evil and cruel persons when it is needed to protect dharma. Then the
deity Kalabhairava appeared before Aadi Sankaraachaarya and killed that
Krakacha, the leader of Kapaalikaas.
CHAARVAAKA RELIGION
Charvaaka iddham
hyaakarod vichaaram moorkhairjanair vyaaptamidam samastam dehaad
ateetaatmavibodhibhit satsangaat gataa moodhamatwamanye.
Sankara vijayam
15—21—21
Chaarvaakaas believe
that the body that can be seen with naked eye only exists and nothing else
beyond that exists. They don’t believe in subtle body, idea body and soul. The
body only is Atma. Jeeva is not having separate existence except body and
senses. To say that the invisible soul is truth and all else is delusion is
folly. After death there is no rebirth. The decay of body is liberation and
truth. Heaven, hell, other worlds, reincarnation, the dead people will live
happily in paraloka or other worlds, to do shraaddha karmas ( certain religious
formalities done while burying or burning the dead body) for appeasing Gods in
the other world(s), all these are bunkum or senseless talk. Misery and
happiness are confined to living beings only. Charvaakaas are the abusers of
Vedaas(Hindu classics). Consciousness exists only due to the combination of
earth, water, fire and air. When the combination of earth, water, fire and air
occurs the jeeva ( praana or Consciousness) automatically comes into this
physical body. After death this combination is disturbed and hence as there is
no place to live, jeeva goes out. When there is a pot there exists a space in
the pot. When the pot is broken the space in that pot goes nowhere. Likewise as
there is no body to live the Jeeva/ praana or Consciousness does not go to the
other world. It remains there only. So Jeeva and body are one and the same
thing is theory of Charwaakaas. Hindus perform so many rituals immediately
after the death of a person for 12 to 13 days and also every year on the day
that person died. Even some persons go to holy places like Gaya, Brahmakapalam
and Varanasi etc. These rituals are called Shraaddha karmas. During those
rituals the Hindus take ablutions several times either on the banks of rivers
Ganges, Godavari, Yamuna or Krishna etc or in their own homes. This is all
humbak as per Charwaakaas.
JAINA RELIGION
Jeevaatmanaa
sthitasyoti gnaanamaathrena sarvadaa
Muktatwaat tasya
dehasya paataattu samanantaram
Jinadeva exists in
the hearts of all living beings. Jinadeva is the embodiment of wisdom. As such
he is liberated. By several ablutions this corrupted body cannot be cleansed.
After the decay of the body, the soul gets purified.
There are two types
of jains. They are jains and arhataas. These two types of jains are called
maadhyamikaas. Those who are all well versed and conversant with their religion
aare called Arhataas. Saptabhangi is the famous philosophy of Arhataas of Jain
religion. There are seven important parts in this Saptabhangi. If one knows the
knowledge of this SAPTABHANGI then he can be liberated.
As per this religion
the universe or Jagat, living beings, the karma of living beings and bondages
are eternal and hence had no beginning and ending.
Saptabhangi knowledge
1) Syadastikam----
thing exists concept.
2) Syannastikam----
thing does not exist concept.
3) Syadastinaasticam----
thing exists and does
not exist concept.
4) Syadavaktavya------cannot
say thing exists
concept.
5)
Syadastichaavakt6avyaha--- thing exists but can
not say thing exists
concept.
6) Syaannasticha
avyktavyaha----- thing does not exist but cannot say it does not exists
concept.
7) Syadasticha
naasticha avaktavyaha----- we can not say whether thing exists or does not
exist concept.
Every thing can be
determined as nitya saptabhangi or anitya saptabhangi as per the above
saptabhangi knowledge.
The matter had
infinite qualities and same is with saptabhangi..
This is known as
Syadwaadam or Saptabhangi justice.
Consciousness and
unconsciousness are the two things agreed by Jains. The knowledge of these two
things is real wisdom. One should grasp the things that are desired and the
rest undesired things are to be given up. Except Jina nothing else exists.
There is no eternal God. Sarvagna, veetaraaga, arhan, kewali, teerthamkrita and
Jina are the six of their deities. Both Buddhists and Jains accept this
Syadwaadam or Saptabhangi justice. The practically invisible God is not
acceptable to both Buddhists and Jains.
The following is the
explanatory meaning regarding the seven things mentioned Saptabhangi mentioned
earlier.
1) Jeevam—guide,
embodiment of wisdom & conscious thing.
2) Ajeevam---inert
thing.
Astikaayams are
formed in relation to this Jeeva & Ajeeva. These Astikaayams are of five
types. They are a) Jeevaastikaayam, b) Pudgalaastikaayam, c) Dharmaastikaayam,
d) Adharmaastikaayam &
e) Aakaastikaayam.
Again this (a)
Jeevaastikaayam is of three types. They are Baddha, Mukta aand Nityasiddha.
These three are of three different levels. Nityasiddha is called Aarhan. He is
not having binding and liberation. Mukta gets liberation due to sadhana. Baddha
is always binding.
b)
Pudgalaastikaayam--- earth, water, fire, air, body and consciousness are called
Pudgalaastikaayam. That means atoms responsible for creation.
c) Dharmaastikaayam----
Karma that gives us health, peace & tranquility and detach us from this
worldly attachment and takes us to the higher levels of consciousness is called
Dharmaastikaayam
d)
Adharmaastikaayam----That sort of Karma which is not done according to Jain
classics takes us to the lower levels of consciousness is called
Adharmaastikaayam. Restlessness, ill health & misery are the results of
this.
e) Aakaastikaayam----
This is of two types. i) Lokaakasam which lives in higher echelons of worlds.,
and ii) Alokaakasam which is beyond all worlds and is the place for liberated
beings.
The things which were
explained above belong to Jeevqa & Ajeeva Aastikaayams.
3) Aasravam
This the third part
of Saptabhangi knowledge. The knowledge gained with the help of senses that
touches self illumination is called Aasravam.
4) Samvara
Withdrawal from the
senses and the knowledge so gained for enlightenment.
5) Nirjaram
This Nirjaram is got
due to the traits of past birth call4ed sanskaraas and Neutral (Rajo guna)
quality. One wanted to experience good or bad karma because of Nirjaram. One
gets relieved of Karma of past births after experiencing it. So Nirjaram
removes the results of good and bad Karma.
6) Bandham---
This the sixth part of Saptabhangi knowledge. The classics of Jaina are called
Aarhata Darsanaas. They say that the Karma is of two types. They are Ghaatika
karma and Aghaatika Karma. Again Ghaatika karma is of Four types and Aghaatika
Karma is of four types. This tantamount to Eight type of Karma.
a) Ghaatika karma
-----
i)
Gnaanaavaraneeya---One will get the thing (salvation) only by wisdom.
ii)
Darsanaavaraneeyam---Only reading the Jaina scriptures one will attain
salvation.
iii)
Mohaneeyam---- Not believing the advice of Guru.
iv)
Antaraaya--- The knowledge that destroy us.
The above four are
called obstructions of wisdom.
b) Agaatika
Karma-----
i)
Vedaneeyam--- The body illuminating with Satwaguna i.e., Positive qualities.
ii)
Naamikamu--- To believe firmly that I am an embodiment of Positive qualities. I
am like a Zygote in the womb of a mother which is the beginning of the
formation as an infant. A zygote will not have any good or bad qualities.
iii)
Gotrikam—This cannot be described. This is the state earlier to Zygote. This
gives eligibility to be a disciple of JINADESIKENDRA.
iv)
aayushkam--- Embodiment of Sperm & ova or the state that transforms into
Body.
The above
four are not the obstructions of wisdom or knowledge or gnaana.
7) Moksha----
This the last seventh part of Saptabhangi knowledge. This state is beyond
Dharma and Adharma, beyond existence and non existence and beyond logic called
salvation.
This is the
saptabhangi knowledge. With this knowledge one will get eternal peace and
happiness.
As per the magnitude
of the physical body, Jeeva’s existence will be bigger in size in the elephant
and smaller in the ant. The parts are forming according to the size and
magnitude of the body. Jeeva or soul depends on these organs. As such the size
of the Jeeva also will be of bigger size. Hence the organs and the Jeeva or
soul both are transforming eternally. Apart from soul nothing else exists.
There is no such thing called EESWARA or GOD the father. In this respect both
Jains and Buddhists accepts or agrees this nihilism. This Jagat/Universe and
soul both are eternal. They have no beginning and end.
Maadhyamikaas
believes the knowledge of elements but they will not accept their permanence.
They say that the elements are temporary.
Yogaachaara agrees
the configuration and science of intellect. They say that though things appear
to exist due to intellect but in reality they do not exist at all.
Sautraantika says
that the existence of elements or things are real internally only but outwardly
they are not real at all. What they mean to say is the things that appears
physically are untrue. What the thing contains internally is true.
Vaibhaashika believes
the vacuum as reality. The destruction of attachment is salvation. This is
again agreed upon by all the four i.e., Maadhyamikaas, Yogaachaaras,
Sautraantikas and Vaibhaashikas.
Jains and Buddhists
both will agree that soul is eternal. They won’t accept EESWARA. This amounts
to nihilism or nireeswaravada. Both will agree saptabhangi and swadwaada.
ADI SANKARAACHAARYA
Adi Sankaracharya of
South India was a great saint of all times. He was an embodiment of wisdom. He
is revered as Avataar of Lord Siva. He propogated Adwaita Siddhanta. His famous
dictum was ‘’ Brahma Satyam, jagat midhya’’. Except Brahman all else is
delusion.
Jeevasya deham
tritayam hi vidyate sthoolascha sookshmascha tathaiwa kaaranam
That is jeeva is
having two other bodies called subtle and Idea apart from physical body. To
think that Iam different from GOD is ignorance. Realization of ‘’ I and God are
one and the same’’ is the real wisdom and liberation. Man cannot be liberated
due to the decay of physical body only.
Kartaa bhoktaaham
paranandaroopo manwaanaswaa bheeshta masyaasti yaawat taawat kreedanneshu
deheshu paschaat deham tyaktwaa mukta ityukta aaha.
Iam the doer and
enjoyer. Iam the parama ananda roopa. Iam the blissful person. So thinking man
is getting liberated. Wisdom or aatmagnaan is one and steady. It cannot change
irrespective of cold and heat, misery or happiness. Wisdom is nothing but truth
only and truth is absolute.
Jeeva is not MAHAT or
Atom. Jeewaastikadwyam and knowledge of Saptabhangi both cannot be tools for
salvation. Both are existence and non existence forms and mutually oppose each
other. Two different types of Dharma cannot be made applicable at a time to
same thing that is Jeeva or soul. Even Jeeva is not permanent. Pure wisdom
brings salvation.
God the father or
Brahman is the creator of this Universe/Jagat. Universe/Jagat and Jeeva both
are unreal. They are like a dream. Brahman is manifesting this Universe, making
the existence of this Jagat and destructing this Universe. He is the G
generator, O operator and D destructor. He himself is manifesting as JAGAT or
Jeeva and playing.
Guna saamyam
pradhaanam syaat mattatwaadikaaranam
Avyaktam
vyaktabhaavamcha jagatyekam paraatparam
These three qualities
i.e., satwa, rajas and tamas together are called PRADHANAM.. The combination of
these three qualities lead to MAHAT and SHRISHTI or CREATION. This Pradhanam
when it is unmanifested it is called AVYAKTAM or IDEAL and when it is
manifested it is called VYAKTAM or Physical Universe. Mukti or liberation if
one understands this knowledge.
Naa sabda meekshate
(Brahma sutra)
Sound cannot see. The
combination of three qualities is Pradhaanam. This combination is not sound
less. It is having sound. So the Pradhanam which is not sound less cannot be
cause of this creation. All other things are inert except Brahman. Brahman is
only sentient. An insentient and inert Nature cannot be the cause of creation.
Brahman is the cause of creation.
All the pancha
bhootaas came into existence because of Brahman. Brahman is only eternal. The
things get created or destroyed as per the wishes of GOD. The inert and
insentient things cannot have this power.
Even Vedas are not
eternal. ParaBrahma is only eternal.
Accept Karma that
Mimamsa says but discard that very karma to get liberated. Truth is one and
absolute. Paramatma is tangible as saguna and intangible as nirguna niraakaara
Brahman.
He accepts all six
pramanas viz.., pratyaksha, anumanaetc.
VEDANTAM
Nistraigunyobhava
i.e., discard all the three qualities of satwa, rajas and tamo. Total surrender
to God leads to salvation. God is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.
Except God all else is insentient. God is the efficient cause (nimitta
kaaranam) & material cause (dravya kaaranam). Maya (inherent of God) is
instrumental cause(sadhana kaaranam).
Mimamsikaas hold
Vedic Karma is only goal for everybody. Upanishats are called Vedanta. These
Upanishats teach us about Parabrahma. Sri AdiSankaracharya holds the view that
even Vedas are not eternal. ParaBrahma is only eternal. Till you attain the
knowledge of liberation the Upanishats are eternal. All others are perishable.
BUDDHISM
For salvation,
starving the body and unbearable and studious principles, are not required.
Buddha has suggested eight fold path for truthful living. They are: (1) Samyak
drishti----one should have the knowledge of misery, reason for misery, avoiding
that memory, (2) samyak sankalpa----giving up pleasures of senses and
revengefulness, not contemplating harm to others, right thinking, 3)Samyak
waakku----- speaking of truth only,. 4) Samyak Karma------ rightful behaviour,
nonviolence and non stealing, 5) Samyak Jeevanam---- moral living, 6)Samyak
krishi----one should devoid of vice and have self control 7) Samyak smriti---
fully matured mind and 8)Samyak Samadhi---- Peace and tranquility.
Baahyaartha wadaas,
yogacharees and maadhyamikaas are important amongst the followers of religion
of Buddha.
Again this
Baahyaartha wadaas are of two types. They are sautraantikaas and
vaibhaashikaas.
Sautraantikaas belive
in Anumaana pramaana i.e., indirect perception. What ever knowledge one wanted
to grasp can be got only by this anumaana pramaana.
Vaibhaashikaas
believe in pratyaksha pramaana i.e., direct perception. That means the one that
is appearing before the naked eyes is only the truth. But both sautraantikaas
and vaibhaashikaas have the same perception in regard to decay of the things.
Yogacharees are also
of two types. They are Vignaanavadees and soonyawadees.
Vignaanavadees
believe that wisdom (atmagnaan) is temporary and of different types.
SANKHYA PHILOSOPHY
Nature and Purusha
are two different things. The knower of cause is Purusha. This Purusha is
quality less and formless. He is witness only. If butter is kept nearer to
heat, it melts even though the butter is not kept directly on the heater. Like
wise Purusha is nearer to Nature. Nature is also called Maya. HE will work as a
catalyst resulting in creation that comes out of nature. He does not do
anything directly.
Soul and Purusha is
one and the same thing. He is the cause of everything but does not do anything
directly. Maya is the root cause of creation. The whole Universe is made of 24
elements or tatwaas. First and foremost thing is Maya herself. This is also
called PRADHAANAM.
Next came MAHAT.
Man/woman is having intellect. This is called Micro level intellect. Mahat is
the intellect of Nature. This is Macro level intellect.
Next came EGO. This
is of two types. i)the sentient Life force inherent with energy and awareness,
intellect, five organs of senses, and five organs of action, ii)insentient five
tanmatraas, five mahabhootaas. Eye, nose, ear, tounge and skin are the five
sense organs. Man can know about external things with the help of thse sense
organs.
Mouth, feet, hands,
anus and phallus are the five action organs.
Hearing, touch,
seeing power, tasting power, and smelling power are called Tanmatraas.
Ether, air, fire,
water and earthy are Pancha Maha bhootaas.
So these 24 elements
viz., Nature, mahat, ego, mind, five sense organs, five action organs, five
tanmatraas, five pancha mahabhootaas , together constitute this Universe or
individual Jeeva.
Saankhyam does not
talk about Brahman. Brahman, Nature & Maya are all one and the same as per
Hindu Vedanta. Satwa (positive), Rajas (neutral & Tamas (negative) are the
three qualities. Both saankhya and Vedanta accepts these three qualities. These
three qualities are responsible for the misery. Salvation can be obtained by
shedding the above 24 elements. Nature is the material (dravya), efficient
(nimitta) and instrumental (sadhana) causes. Satwa, rajas & tamas are the
matter. The manifestation of these three qualities is mahat in macro level and
buddhi(intellect) in micro level. Any object from Buddhi to stone is the
permutations and combinations of these three qualities only. The difference is
in physical, subtle and ideal. Cause is subtle and effect is physical. All ideas
are collected and sent to the Intellect by mind. What is to be done is decided
by the mahat in macro level and by buddhi(intellect) in micro level. Ego came
out of this Mahat. Ideal and subtler things came latter. The combinations of
these subtler particles lead to this external physical universe. PURUSHA is
beyond this three qualities and Nature. PURUSHA is not Buddhi, mind,
Tanmaatraas (powers of taste, sound, touch, seeing and smell) and physical,
subtle and ideal bodies. Purusha is eternal. These Purushaas are infinite.
Buddhi or macro mahat came first. Matter came latter. The combination of
internal ideal forces is called mind. External forces and this mind combined to
form this physical world or body.
Tam kaapila praahucha
moolayonihi kim vaa swatantraachidadhishthitaawaa jagannidaanam wada
sarvawitwaannochet pravesastawa durlabhasyaat.
Is Moola prakriti or
Nature by itself independantly the root cause of creation or with the help of
sentient Purusha ? Because Saamkhyaas belive that the Nature is not inert and
also independent. Hence it is the root cause of this creation.
Swayam swatantraat
trigunaatmikaasatee.
Nature comprises
three qualities i.e., positive, neutral and negative. They combine in different
proportions and hence the creation or Jagat is manifested. Nature means
character. So generation (shrishti), operation/existence (sthiti), destruction
(laya) depend on character.
PARAMAANUVAADAM
Vidhaayasrushtwaavividhaanscha
jeevaanaanaiswayam saakshivadesha poornaha
Brahman is the owner
of this whole Universe. But he is manifesting universes with the five
panchamahabhootaas (ether, air, fire, water and earth.).. At the time of
creation these five are combined and at destruction they are separated. So with
the combination of the subtle panchabhootaas creation occurs, and with their
seperation deluge or pralayam occurs. So the combination and separation of
these are the cause of creation and deluge.
Certain
interpretations
Sat Karma means good
works done for the betterment of the society and self. They are of two types.
i) ishtam i.e., performing sacrifices, ii) poortam that is constructing water
tanks, hospitals and schools etc.
Aswamedham: raashtram

Keeping the Food and
Senses clean is GOMEDHAM. Your senses will work according to the type of food
you take. If you take saatwik food like milk and fruits the senses will be cool
and peaceful. If you take Rajasic food like meat etc then you will be restless
and prone to anger. If you take tamasic food then you will be proned to sleep
and ignorance.
The funeral rites
that are done after the death as per their religion is called NARAMEDHAM.
The particles of
earth , water and fire combine together in the air and appears in blue colour.
America is situated
exactly underneath India. Hence it is called Paataala loka. It appears that the
characters mentioned in Mahabharat war have come from different countries to
participate in Kurukshetra, the world war at that time. Ex: Babhruvahana from
the patala loka is presently America. Salya might have come from present Iran
and Bhagadatta from present China.
In Sanskrit there is
a mention of word Mantri (Minister). From this Mantri two other words namely
Mantram and Mantraangam are derived. The one who can think wisely is called
Mantri. The thinking which can protect the mind is called mantra or mantram.
The sphere of thinking is called mantrangam. Every thing is the result of
thinking only. Medicines, weapons, yoga systems, reading, writing, poetry and
several creative works came out due to thinking only. The weapons mentioned in
the Mahabharata war like Agneeyaastra, vaarunaastra, naagapaasa and
sammohanaasstra etc are the result of thinking only. Astra means weapon.
Agneeyaastra means the one that emanates fire out of it, , vaarunaastra means
the one that produces water out of it, Naaga paasa means the one that makes the
senses immobile , and sammohanaasstra means the one that makes the opponents
senseless. In Agneyaastra they fill the weapon with some combustible material of
one or two types which when thrown against the enemy in the open air shall
produce fire with oxygen in the air acting as catalyst for combustion. In
varunaastra hydrogen and oxygen are packed in such a way that when thrown
against the enemy in the open air shall produce water when combined. Naaga
paasa is like a local anesthesia. That particular limb/organ/sense gets
immobilized. Similarly sammohanaastra makes the opponent completely senseless
for some assigned time period just like in major clinical operations in
hospitals.
All great learned
people, yogis like Patanjali etc, emperors like Sibi, Raajaas or kings like
Harischandra, Janaka etc, saints like Vashista, viswaamitra etc., religions,
education, came out of this great India. Several of these great people died
during Mahabharata war some more than 5000 years ago.

There is a saying.
Castor plant is a very small plant. Where there are no plants at all this castor
plant is considered to be a big tree.
Kulakshaye
pranasyanti kuladharmaassanatanaaha
Dharmenashte kulam
krutsnam adharmobhi bhavatyuta. Bhagavat
Geeta 1---40
Kulam means caste.
These castes are formed according to the qualities. If the caste is destroyed
then the qualities of those castes also get destroyed. Then the next casualty
is Dharma. If Dharma is destroyed then the whole system gets destroyed.
This is what exactly
has happened. After Mahabharata war ancient wisdom, Dharma and Veda vidya started
getting destroyed. All elderly and wise people died. All young and skilled able
bodied people died. The system has come under the control of children and
widows. The progeny due to the wedlock of elderly widows and young lads etc
without any guidance of experienced and learned adults resulted in anarchy.
Several religions/philosophies like Charvakaas, kaapaalikaas etc came into
effect. The one who is mighty could grab the chunk of land and started ruling
the people whimsically without ant rhyme and rule. Those who oppose them will
be ruthlessly killed. Lust, meat eating, incestuous animal pleasure etc have
become common. Even they started interpolating and interpreting the scriptures
as per their wishes. Animal sacrifices were introduced event hough there was no
animal sacrifice in the scriptures to propitiate the God. For that they started
giving the explanation that certain branches of Vedas were destroyed and in
those destroyed branches these things like human sacrifices, animal sacrifices
and meat eating were mentioned. If the leaves and branches of a mango tree is
cut and when the leaves and branches come again then they will be of that mango
only. God was described in the undestroyed parts of Veda branches available to
us today as paramadayalu meaning He is the embodiment of magnanimity&
Dharma. Then how a magnanimous God becomes cruel and ask for human & animal
sacrifices and encourages meat eating in the branches of destroyed Veda.
Ekam sat vipraaha
bahudaa vadanti.
God is only one but
he is described as many. Whether you take water from Hardwar Ganges or from
Allahabad Ganges, the water is of Gangesonly. You cannot call Gangesby
different names. Similarly because of ignorance, only one God was/is being
called by different names and people started quarrelling with each other saying
that their God is superior to the God of the others. Even stone images were
made and started confining the God to a particular boundary.
After Mahabharat war
Bharat was divided into several provinces. The original Sanskrit language and
Gurukul system of education was destroyed. Several local dialects came into
existence.
Chaaturvarnyam

4----13
Braaqhmana,
kshyatriya, vaisya and Sudra are the four castes created by me as per their
Gunaas( qualities) and not as per their births.
Instead of the dictum
of Dharma people started following Adharma. The caste is recognized as per
their parents instead of dexterity. In ancient times caste is like a
designation such as Major, Brigadier etc. The institution of Kings became
hereditary. The king should be brave, dutiful and truthful. Because of this
hereditary system of following the biological caste system, weak kings who are
unable to protect Dharma and give able leadership came into existence. This
resulted in frequent quarrels amongst the kings resulting in further
destruction of India.

Chaturdasa Vidyas (14
branches of learning)
There are 14 branches
of learning. They are:
(1) four Vedas viz.,
Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda & Atharvanaveda.,
(2) Sadangas or Six
Angas viz., Siksha (phonetics), vyakarana (grammar), Nirukta (lexicon,
etymology), Kalpa (manual of rituals), Chandas (prosody), Jyotisa
(astronomy-astrology). They say that Siksha (phonetics) is like a nose of Veda,
Vyakarana (grammar) is mouth of Veda, Nirukta (lexicon, etymology) is like ears
of Veda, Kalpa (manual of rituals) is like hands of Veda, Chandas (prosody) is
like feet of Veda, Jyotisa (astronomy-astrology)is like eyes of Veda.
3) Four upaangaas.
They are helpers (auxiliary ) to a subject. They are Mimamsa, Nyaya, puranaas
& Dharma Sastra.
Siksha (phonetics):
Each syllable of a
mantra is to be pronounced in a specific measure, not less and not more. If you
tell some body ‘’SHUT UP’’, he gets annoyed. To the same person if you say
‘’Please do not make noise’’ he will not get annoyed. Similarly swara or
phonetics are very important in mantras.
Vyakarana (grammar)
It is like a face of
the body. It tells the quality of the language.
Chandas (prosody),
the feet of Veda
The riks of Rigveda
and Saamaveda is in poetric form. Non-vedic poetry is in Slokas. The Yajurveda
consists of both prose and poetry. Major part of Vedas is of poetry. Prose is
called Gadya and poetry is Padya. All mantras in Vedas is of verses. So they
are called Chandas meaning poetic metre. Or prosody. Whether the form of the
given mantra is right or not is determined by Chandas.
Nirukta (lexicon,
etymology), the ears of Veda
Nirukta is
dictionary. The origin of the words or the root (dhatu) of that word. In the
beginning the world language was Sanskrit. Later on the local dialects came
into effect with their origin in Sanskrit.
Jyotisa
(astronomy-astrology), the eyes of Veda.
Jyotisa includes both
astronomy& astrology. Astronomy is the science of position of planets and
heavenly bodies. Astrology is the science of finding out the position of sun,
the moon, stars/asterisms or 27 Nakshatras like Aswani, Bharani and Krittika
etc & constellations or Zodiac signs called Rasis Leo, Scorpio, aeries etc
in relation to the birth of a child and their effect on that child and the
poojas/prayers that are to be performed at the time of birth, grihapravesa
(constructing and entering into new house etc) ceremonies etc..
Kalpa (manual of
rituals), the hands of Veda
The application of
the above to attain liberation is Kalpa. There are about 40 samsakaras or vedic
rites that are to be performed right from conception to death. They are called
grihasutras & sratasutras.
Now we will discuss
briefly about Four upaangaas. They are Mimamsa, Nyaya, puranaas & Dharma
Sastra.
MIMAMSA
Mimamsa is of two
types. they are Poorva mimamsa and Uttara mimamsa.
Poorvamimamsa deals
with the importance of sacrifices and other rites of karmakanda of Vedas.
Uttara mimamsa deals
with the importance of realization of the self taught in the Gnaanakanda of the
Vedas. Brahmasutras and Upanishads constitute the Uttara Mimamsa.
POORVA MIMAMSA
First a question
related to Veda is raised, then authenticity of its meaning called samsaya is
put forward, then the opponent’s view is presented, (opposition party is called
as poorvapakshi), that view is refuted by a party called uttarapakshi, then the
conclusion called nirnaya or decision is arrived. The whole process of coming
to a fruitful conclusion after discussion is called Adhikarana. JAIMINI
MAHARSHI is the founder of Poorvamimasa sutras. Both Sankhyas and mimasakas
have the same view that God the father cannot be the creator of this universe.
He will not award the fruits of our actions. Our Karma awards the fruits.
Eeswara is pure knowledge personified. He is sentient. The universe is full of
stones, dust etc. In effect it is insentient. So sentient God can not be the
creator of this insentient Jagat. We get the results of our karma by ourselves
but not with the interference of God. Only VEDIC karmas are to be followed,
rest are to be discarded. The followers of Vedas are called Vedantis. Vedantis
say that the Purusha mentioned by Sankhyas is NirgunaBrahma. He becomes
SahunaBrahma and forms this Jagat and also awards the result of our Karma.
Performance of Vedic rites only give us health, wealth and salvation.
Nyaya
Nyaya is also called
tarka sastra. Gautama is its author. Nyaya means syllogism or justice. Tarka
means logic. Justice and logic always goes hand in hand. The followers of Nyaya
are called Naiyyayikaas. They try to establish the existence of Eeswara through
logic. Liberation or salvation is like a sky spreaded everywhere, without any
form. The wisdom that is illuminated with pure self of exalted state.
Eeswara like a potter
is the creator of this Universe. He is the instrumental cause. He is the guide.
Eeswara and Universe are separate entities. Universe is eternal and Eeswara is
its guide.
Vaiseshika
This also is a part
of Nyaya sastra. Because of its speciality it is called vaiseshika. KANADA is
its author. This Jagat is made by Eeswara with several permutations and
combinations of different atoms. The individual self (vyashtatma) in each
living being and this JAGAT is different from Eeswara is rendered by both
naiyyayikaas (followers of Nyaya) and vaisheshikaas(followers of Kanad’s
Vaisheshika). Parameswara or Brahman or God the father is the Creator or
Karta.. Vaishesikas firmly believe this and establishes this fact by logic.
Dravya guna karma
saamaanya visesha samavaayaabhaavaaha sapta padaardhaaha.
Dravya means
substance, guna means quality, karma means action, samaanya means association.
Visesha means speciality or difference. samaavaaaya means in born or inherence.
Abhaava means non existence.
Dravya is Padartha.
All other six things viz., Guna, Karma, saamaanya, visesha, samavaaya &
abhaava are depending on the Dravya and hence these six are also called matter.
Guna means cruelty,
magnanimity, hard, soft, colour, bravery etc. Karma means seeing, smelling,
talking and eating etc. Saamaanya means species. Every matter cannot be of the
same species. They might be cows, goats, men,women, and plants etc. Visesha
means speciality like intelligence, poor, cows that give more milk and less
milk etc. Samavaaya means inherence. Ex: you cannot separate sun and sun rays.
Abhava means inert or not doing anything. You must follow abhava in certain
situations. Ex: Do not drink wine is the dictum of Vedas. We are benefited by
this. So maintain abhava here.
In spite having the
mud (matter or material cause or dravya kaaranam) and machine (instrumental
cause or sadhanna karanam) no pot can me made without the potter(efficient
cause nimitta karanam) . with the knowledge of matter only one will get the
most revered and aspired salvation can be achieved. First one should be devoid
of all qualities, good or bad. With the absolute knowledge of matter whatever
remains is God the father.
Puranas (Epics)
Braahmam paadmam
vaishnavamcha saivam laingam sagaarudam naaradeeyam bhaagavatam aagneyam
skaanda samgnaatam bhavishyam brahmavaivartam markandeyam savaamaanam vaaraaham
maatsya koormam cha brahmaandaakhyamiti trishat.
Brahma, padma,
Vishnu, siva, linga, garuda, naarada, agni, skanda, bhavishya, brahmavaivartam,
markandeyam, vamana, varaaha, matsya, koorma and brahmaanda are the eighteen
Puraanaas.
Each Purana
highlights about a particular Dharma with illustrations and stories. That is
the reason in one Purana Lord Siva is narrated as everything and in another
Lord Vishnu etc. Followers of different sects are quarrelling without knowing
the inner meaning. Ultimately all devotees are required to reach the same goal
called Liberation. Take any element gold, silver or copper etc. Finally they constitue
electrons and protons only. Only lattice structure will be different. The
workers of a company are given bonus to inculcate curiosity to work with
dedication. Children are similarly given candies to take more interest in their
studies. Likewise the lucid stories in the Puraanaas make the people to know
more about God the father. Dharma, human values, duty of parents, children, and
spouses, subjects, king and truthfulness etc., are narrated in these puranas.
Dharmasastras
Manusmriti,
yagnavalkya and Parasarasmrit etc come under the perview of Dharmasastras.
These smritis give instructions regarding duties of different varnas or castes
or classes of people in a society. There are 40 samskaraas or rituals which are
to be followed as per the Dharma sastras. Jatakarma (Pooja & chanting of
mantras after the birth of a child), Namakarana (naming ceremony of the child
with mantras) and annaprasana (first solid food giving ceremony with mantras),
chaula or chuda karma (first cutting of the hair of a child) Paanigrahana
(marriage ceremony with mantras) and garbhadana ceremony (nuptials ceremony
with mantras)etc., are covered by these Smritis.
PRAMAANAAS
Pramana is a measure
or standard or authority or understanding or a source of knowledge to come to a
logical conclusion. They are 8 types. They are:
1) Pratyksha
Pratyksham
kim pramanam? Indriyaartha sannikarshotpannam gnaanam anyapadesyam
avyabhichaari vyavasaayaatmakam pratyaksham..
Gautama
nyaaya darsanam
No meaure
is greater than the one you saw, smelt, tasted, touched and heard. No other
witness is required than our own physical senses that have grasped it.
2) Anumana
To realize
the the effect after seeing the cause (truth). To assume that it will rain
(effect) after seeing the cloudy(cause).
3) Upamaana
To
recognize a things with comparison to a known thing(s). ex: to recognize a
tiger by Seeing the moles, paws, foot prints etc.
4)
Sabdapramana
It is a
verbal testimony. By hearing the sound of OM during meditation, we feel that we
are nearing GOD.
5)Aitihyam
It should
be like this. It was like this.
6) Arthaapatti
Without
cause there is no effect. One may feel cold and shivering. This is the effect.
He may have fever or there might be sudden change in the weather. This the
cause.
7) Sambhavam
The one that
is amenable for creation.
8)Abhavam
Abhava
means inert or not doing anything. To make a wrong decision or mistaken
identity is abhava. The one which is right may seem to be wrong and the one
which is wrong appears to be right.
5,7 &
8 are clubbed together and is called Anupalabdhi and hence making a total of
six Pramanaas.

protons as per Nyaya, Purushaatrtha as per Yoga, Nature as per Sankhya and
Brahman as per Vedanta.
Eight types of
marriages
1) Braahmam
Marriage with mutual
consent of man and woman.
2) Daivam
Marriage with the
consent of elders.
3) Aarsham
Marriage by taking
dowry from bridegroom.
4) Praajaapatyam
For doing yagnaas or
certain Vedic Karma wife is a must as per Dharma Sastra. Maariage to protect
Dharma.
5) Aasuram
By giving money to
both the man and woman and then getting them married for the welfare of
Kingdom.
6) Gaandharvam
Marriage made due to
mutual love of both the spouses with without the consent of elders. No
auspicious time and rules or conditions of Dharma is respected.
7) Raakshasam
To abduct the bride
forcibly and then marrying.
8) Paisaachikam
Give sedatives to the
bride and then marrying her in insane conditions using force.
Braahmam is the first
category and most desirable.
Daiva and
praajaapatyam are of second category/.
Aarsham, aasuram and
gaandharvam are of third category.
Raaksham is of fourth
category.
The most undesirable
and heinous is Paisaachikam.
JEEVA or corrupted
soul consists of Attachment, hatred, effort or purushaartha, happiness, misery,
intelligence and of three qualities that is Satwa, Rajas and Tamas qualities.
Buddhi or intellect constitutes the knowledge of what is good and bad. Mind is
of wavering type.
Braahmanosya
maukhamaaseeth baahu raajanya kritaha oorootadasya yadwaisyaha padbhaagam

31-----11
Braahmin came out of
the face of Brahman. Face is very important in the body. So the one who does Brahma
Karma is called Brahmin. Kshatriya came out of the shoulders of Brahma.
Shoulders are the replica of strength. So is the case with Kshatriya, the
warrior class. Vaisya, the trader class came out of thighs of Brahma. Thighs
are the replica of power of movement. Trade and agriculture is done due to
movement. Soodra, the servant or skilled labour has come out of the feet of
Brahman. Feet is the replica of labor. Brahman is formless, qualityless and
nirvikalpa. So how species came out of a formless God. So as per their Gunas or
qualities the classes or castes were formed but not due to biological birth.
Caste is some sort of designation like Inspector, Inspector General etc.
STREE(woman)
Yatra
naaryastu poojyante ramante tatra

Traa

3-56
Where
the women are respected there the Devataas i.e., the virtuous beings will be
playing
with
happiness. All works or efforts will be doomed.
Stuti,
pooja and Upaasana
With stuti or prayer
one will be developing his/ Her likeness to God in that particular form of his
liking in which he/she is worshipping. While worshiping God the devotee shall
eulogise Him with several attributes. So doing the devotee shall change his
attributes akin to that form of God.
Devotee will gain
detachment due to these prayers. Our mind will be devoted or dedicated to God
in that form. He will be getting appropriate helping hand from that form of
God. He will be more enthusiastic.
Upasana means to
worship God in a particular sitting posture in the vicinity of Altar. By this a
peculiar relationship is created between the God and the devotee.
Independence
Suppose a police
officer fired on the uncontrolled mob or on a thief on the orders of his
superior officers or a soldier killed several people in a war. No sin will
touch him as he has not done it on his own independently but on the orders of
his superiors. The body, antahkarana (mind), life force and senses should be under
our control. Then it is called liberty. The parents are responsible only for
the birth of the children and some filial relations up to certain time of our
growing up period. The parents are not responsible for the right or wrong
doings of their offspring. The children will eat the results of their Karma.
Likewise God the father is not responsible for our doings. Police will not make
the murder weapon responsible and put it in jail. They will put the murderer
behind the bars.
JEEVA --- PARAMATMA
Jeeva(corrupted Soul)
is inert and insentient. Jeeva with Cosmic consciousness is sentient and
active. The body without Cosmic consciousness is SAVAM i.e., deadbody, with
Cosmic consciousness is SIVAM i.e., dynamic.
Generation,
operation, destruction, too keep the whole universe in its limits, to accord
appropriate Janma or incarnation to the departed souls as per the results of
their Karma without any partiality is what God does. To raise a family, to look
after the off spring, educate the off spring, utilization of the free will
given by God, and to learn Brahma vidya is the duty of Jeeva. Desires, No
desires, happiness, misery, cold, heat, wisdom, no wisdom, effort etc are the
things Jeeva contains. This aspect is agreed upon by both the followers of Nyaya
and vaiseshika.
As long as there is
soul in the body, these qualities will be functioning. Everyything is present
tense to Brahman. No future and past tenses for Brahman. His knowledge is
unique and present.

In the beginning of
creation, Brahman has created men. With the assistance of four sages viz.,
Agni, Vayu, Aditya and Aangeerasa. he made known the knowledge of Vedas to
Kaarya (working) Brahma.
Agni is Manipura
Chakra, Vayu is Anaahata Chakra, Additya is Sahasraara chakra and Aangeerasa is
Swaadhisthaana Chakra. Vedam means the one which is heard i.e., OM.
Om ityekaaksharam

memorizing OM shall get the abode of Brahman.

Brahman is the first

OM. Brahman is the first Doctor. OM is the medicine he is giving us. It is the
best and divine. Meditating on OM sound and practicing Pranayaama techniques
shall give us health, prosperity, peace and tranquility.
The things that are
grasped in Samadhi state are called Brahmanaas. These are also called
vyakhyanaas. Mantras in Rik, yaju, sama and atharva veda are called Vedas.
These mantras were given to great sages by Brahman Himself in the beginning.
The sages due to the grace of Brahman could explain the meanings of those
Mantras. The things explained by great sages are called Brahmanaas. The sages
are of selfless and of great vision. They have dedicated everything for the
welfare of mankind. They have not even named their findings like Newton’s laws
or Darwin theory etc. There were about 1127 chapters in Vedas.
Cause and Effect
The combination or
commingling of Satwa (positive), Rajas (Neutral) and Tamas (negative) qualities
in different combinations is NATURE. The subtlest matter is the product of this
Nature. Combination of this subtlest matter in different ways lead to the
creation of subtle(sookshma) and physical(sthoola) creations. The subtlest
matter required for the very first such combination is called KARANA (catalyst)
or Cause or Kaarana. The result of that very first combination or Sansarga is
called effect or Kaaryam. Hydrogen and oxygen are not visible to the eye before
combination. After combination they change their invisible form and become a
visible molecule of water. So things will change their configurations before
and after their combinations. So Brahman will create the ideal situation or
provides the required cosmic consciousness for the combinations of subtlest
matter. This is called Praprathamaavastha or very very first state. The most
subtlest Nature is this. This is called Pradhanam. The subtlest state that
comes out of this very very first state is called MATTATWAM. This Mahat Tatwam
is responsible for tangible creation later. From Mahat tatwam came out ether,
air, fire, water and earth. And from them came out sound, touch, configuration,
taste and smell respectively. From ether sound came out. Air came out of ether.
So it has its own touch tatwam and also sound of ether. Fire came out of Air.
So it has its own configuration or seeing tatwam and also touch and sound of
air. Water came out of fire. It has its own taste tatwam and
seeing,touch,hearing of fire. Earth came out of water. It has smell tatwam. In
addition to this it has seeing, touch, hearing and taste of water. Remember that
these are all in subtlest forms. This is Karana srishti or Karana creation.
Karana is the cause of subtler creation or sookshma srushti. And sookshma is
the cause of sthoola or physical creation.
Manushyaa

In the beginning men,
sages and several things came out of Brahman.
Nizaaneeryaanyecha
dasyavaha. Rigveda
Utasudreutarye. Atharvaveda
In the beginning all
men were equal. There after they were divided into Brahmin, kshyatriya, vaisya
and sudra classes as per their karma.
Learned are called
Aryas. Illiterate are anaryas or dasyas. The Aryas made this Bharat as their
abode. Hence the name Aryavartam came into effect.
Sky----Blue color
60 paramanuvu i.e.,
60 most subtlest electrons and protons = one Anu (atom).
Two Anus(Atoms) =
dvyanukam or sthoola vaayu (physical air).
Three dvyanukams =
one Agni (fire)or trasa renu (spark)
Four dvyanukams = one
Jala(water) renu (molecule).
Five dvyanukams = one
prithvi(earth) renu (molecule).
Because of each water
molecule of Four dvyanukams, the sky in the appears blue. The combination of
one dvyanukam or sthoola vaayu and one prithvi(earth) renu (molecule) roaming
in the air will appear like smoke. The image of this smoke only we see in the
water which appears to be blue.

Yama means Air. After
leaving the body the Jeeva or soul remains in Air. As per his/her Karma, the
jeeva enters the yoni (vagina) of lady through Air, Water, Anna(food) and
purusha veerya (sperm of man). Then he comes out of woman in a form male or
female infant. One day everybody has to leave this mortal sack. However every
one will try to lead a happy life by hook or crook. Jeeva wanted filial
happiness. Mukta or liberated one will remain with Brahman ever happily. On the
earth as per his status the abode will be provided. For example President,
Prime Minister, industrialist or moneyed people etc will live palatial
buildings on this earth. Even his relations can stay in those palaces and roam
freely. Similarly the Mukta purusha can roam freely with other liberated souls
in this infinite JAGAT. With pure wisdom he can see the panaromic view of this
infinite Jagat. To unite with Brahman is beatitude. Entangling with desires is
Hell. Rivers will lose their existence after meeting ocean. Likewise the
completely liberated soul will ultimately unite with Brahman and lose his/her
identity.

lead to liberation (nivrutti) and demonic qualities lead to bondage(pravrutti).
This is determined at the time of creation.

Dharma and truth.

Demonic man says: ‘’
This Jagat is not built on Truth, not built as per the standards of Veda, no
morals, it is bullshit to belive that Iswara is its creator. Lustful desires of
man and woman relationship is the only cause of this world and nothing else.

16-----21
Lust, anger and greed
are the three types of doors of Hell. This threefold gate shall destroy the
man/woman. So these three should be avoided.
Sri Ramanujaachaarya
He is the founder of
Visisthaadwaita or qualified Non dualism. Jeeva (soul), Brahman, and Maya all
three are eternal according to him. He has taught that things with their
inherent faults should be avoided. One should not take one’s food from people
who give without love. Ramanuja accepts Pratyaksha pramana, Anumana pramana and
Vedas.
All three giants
i.e., Shri Ramanuja, Madhvacharya and Adi sankaracharya follow vedantic
doctrines only. They are not against vedic rituals.
Idol worship
Brahman is
omnipresent. He exists in every animated and inanimated world. He is formless
and without any quality. So formless Good does not have any idol. Respect your
parents who are living Gods. Give food and Alms to the poverty sticken and
needy fellow human beings. Service to man is service to God. Maintain mutual
respect with your spouse. Construct charity hospitals, schools for poor
children and choultries. Love thy neighbour as you love thyself as told by
Jesus Christ. Not a single rupee come alongwith you when you depart from this
body. The idol worship was started after Mahabharat War i.e., about 5000 or
more years ago. The money,Gold and jewels etc offered to the Idols shall
attract some evil minded and bad unsocial people to loot this property. This is
exactly happened centuries ago. Foreign invaders looted several jewels and Gold
etc some centuries ago. They have looted the temples like Somnath etc in India.
After their departure local unsocial activity people are looting and will loot
in future also. They will bracingly occupy the lands given to the temples.
Rigveda contains 21
chapters. Yajurveda contains 101 chapters. Samaveda contains 1000 chapters.
Atharvaveda contains 9 chapters. All these totaling to 1131 chapters.
Karma kanda was given
importance in Jaimini’s Mimamsa. In patanjali’s yogasastra meditation was given
importance. Wisdom or gnaana was given importance in Sri Vyasa’s Brahmasutras.
All these were written in accordance with the Vedas. But in all these treatises
idol worship was not at all mentioned. This should be observed.
Paritavyam tadapi
martavyam dantakatakateti kim kartavyam.
One has taken poison.
Afterwards he realized that he should not have done that. Then what is the use.
His realization did not save him. Likewise one does so many sins. Afterwards he
visits several holy places to get rid of his sins. It is of no use. So man
should do good deeds for the welfare of fellow beings incessantly till death.
Ontology

Every one is thinking
that money is Dharma, money is Karma and money is liberation. One who had money
he had everything. One who has no money is dying saying ‘’ money, money and
money’’. But no body is desiring, gabbling in dream and dying for God.
Nothing can stand
without base. Every effect had a cause. For every Karma there must be a Karta.
No organ can exist without life. Likewise one cannot think about a world
without Brahman. Ether is spread, percolated and permiated in each and every
noumenon or subject. But earth and ether cannot be the same. Like wise after
making this Jagat with subtlest electrons and protons, Brahman is percolated
into that. He made the parents responsible for the progenies to continue the
creation incessantly by dwelling in each and every aanimated and inanimated
Jagat. With his infinite qualities God is making the Jagat, existing the Jagat
and destroying the Jagat without entangling in it. Paramatma is faultless,
qualityless, fully liberated, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. Jeeva is
having limited presence, bound, corrupted with Satwa, Rajas and Tamas
qualities.
Karta (subject) is
Paramatma. Karma(object) is Jeeva. Kaaryam (Effect) is Jagat.
This Jagat, Jeevaas
(living beings), the works of Jeeva and bonds are eternal as per Jains.
Fried seed does not
germinate. The liberated Jeeva shall not incarnate and merge with Brahman as
per the followers of Adwaita siddhanta of Adi Sankaracharya.
Poornamidam

Sukla yajurveda
The intangible
Brahman is full. Tangible Jagat is full. Tangible Jagat came out of the
intangible Brahman. This jagat even though came out of that Brahman but Brahman
remains full like a child is full pledged and its mother is also full pledged.
Eesavaasyamidam

Jagat is perishable.
Eeswara is unperishable. This perishable Jagat is impregnated with unperishable
Brahman. Do not aspire for getting the things of others. Sacrifice everything
for Brahman.

In childhood one is interested
in sports. In youth he is interested in girls or uxorious. In oldage he is
interested in marriages of children etc. But nobody is having time for God.

contented but travels trudgingly are the qualities of a donkey.
5) In the quarrel
between pig and dog, the pariah is benefited by taking that bone.
6) The mirage make us
to faulter that there is water in it. Likewise the enemy make us to believe
that he is a friend and not a foe.
7) The great people
shall not shed his qualities inspite of their inability like oldage etc. The
lions shall not eat grass inspite of becomimg old.
8) One should not
display mercy till he reaches the goal. The lamb will drink milk from the udder
of its mother by hitting hardly repeatedly.

SEVEN DISEASES
1) Politics without
principles, 2) Wealth gained without effort , 3) Pleasure without conscious, 4)
science without morality, 5) knowledge without character, 6) Fasting without
sacrifice and 7) business without tasks.
Marriage

The have driven out
darkness like ignorance and saw Brahman.
Nahi pramaanaam
jantoonaam uttarakshanajeevane.
What will happen in
the next moment is unknown. Self control is sanskaara or culture. Social
discipline means sabhyata or coutesy. Both husband and wife must strive for
Dharma. The purpose of marriage is not merely producing offspring.
Na prajayaa dhanena
tyagenekaiva amritatwa maanasuhu.
No one can get
liberation with offspring and wealth. Only surrendering your mind totally to
God shall give you liberation. Maintaining celibacy throught life is called
NAISHTICA BRAHMACHARYAM. This is not required for Mukti or liberation. To
follow or live in Brahmann is called Brahmacharyam. To remain with one wife
throughout life is also some form of celibacy called GRAAHASTHA BRAHMACHARYAM.
So liberation is possible while remaining in marriage institution. In certain
Hindu marriages a pendant is tied on the Agna+ chakra or kootastha with the
help of a turmeric besmeared thread around the head called BHAASIKAM. This is
to remember you to excite Agna + Chakra in the front and Agna –ve chakra on the
back of the head. A turmeric besmeared thread with a raw turmeric or a round
small gold pendant called MANGALASUTRA is tied with three knots in such a way
that the gold pendant or raw turmeric shall be hanging on the ANAAHATA chakra
and the three knots will be resting on the back of the bride’s neck or VISUDDHA
chakra indicating that both these chakras are to be excited. Even at the
auspicious moment zeelakarra(cumin seeds) and jaggery are mixed and kept on the
Brahmarandhram indicating that both of you and your wife’s ultimate aim is to
make the kunndalini to reach sahasrara chakra.
Both husband and wife
will walk seven steps together around the fire meaning that they will cross or
help each other to cross these seven chakras viz., mooladhara, swadhisthana,
manipura, anaahata, visuddha, agna and sahasrara to achieve liberation. Both
take oaths to that effect that both are equal partners in Dharma, Artha
(earning wealth through fair means), Kaama (desires) and moksha (liberation).
Seven yoginee Devatas
Maata means
measuring, maanam means measure, and meyam means the one which is to be
measured. All these three together is called KULAM. This trinity is called
Sridevi or Kaaleeswari.
1) Daakinee----
Aakasa tatwam. 16 rays, Visuddha Chakra, Ham is the root word. White elephant
is the steed. Sarvonmaadinee posture. Vasitwa siddhi. Result is Medha or
wisdom. Sanskrit alphabets from aa to aaha. It has traits of beeja, nyaasa and
mantra.
2) Raakinee---- Vayu
tatwa. 12 rays. Anaahata chakra. Yam is the root word. Fawn is the steed.
Sarvavasankaree posture. Eesatwa siddhi. Result is pragna. Alphabets from ka to
tha.
3) Laakinee----- Agni
tatwa, 10 rays. Manipura chakra, root word ram. Steed is goat. Sarvaakarshinee
posture. Alphabets from da to pa.
4) Kaakinee----
Jalatatwam. 6 rays. Swadhisthaana chakra. Root word vam. Steed is crocodile.
Sarvaakarshinee posture. Alphabets from ba to la. Result is smriti or memory.
Laghima siddhi.
5)
Saakinee----Prithivee tatwam. 4 rays. Mooladhara chakra. Root word lam.
Sarvasankshobhinee posture. Steed is Airaavatam or white elephant. Alphabets
from va to sa. Result Mati or mind. Anima siddhi.
6) Saakinee---tatwam
manassu. 2 rays. Agnaa chakra. Root word OM. Steed is Omkar. Sarvaankusa
posture. Alphabets ha & ksha. Result buddhi.
7) Yaakinee----
Sahasraara in Brahmarandhra. To unite with Brahman is the result.
Skin, blood, flesh,
mind and bone are sources of energy. The remaining bone marrow, sperm, life
force and Jeeva belongs /or relates to Siva. Apart from these nine elements it
is said that the tenth element is PARASAKTI. It comprises all these nine
elements.
Yatra naanyat pasyati
naanyat srunoti naanyat vijaanaati bhoomaa.
Chaandogya Upanishad.
The state of not
knowing, hearing and seeing any thing is called BHOOMA.
Naadam is superior to
Pranavam. This Naadam appears as PARA in triangle of SRICHAKRA, PASYANTI in
Ashtakonam (octagon), MADHYAMA in Dasaraygmam (ten angled ) and VAIKHAREE in
Chaturdasaaram ( fourteen angled one). All these Sivasakti related Four Chakras
are fully impregnated with Naadaatmaka Sakti. All these are different shades of
DEVI.
After the fall of
this physical body, Jeeva (soul) enters the Pancha Bhootas ( root cause of
creation), enters ether in the form of sraddha or dedication, enters clouds
through moon rays, enters the earth through rain, enters man through
fire(Agni), enters the female vagina through male sperm, becomes a foetus in
the womb of mother. Then he comes out as male or female child. Sage Jaimini has
explained this to sage Gautama through a sutra ‘’ dyuparjanya prithivee purusha
yoshitsu’’. Even sage Vyasa said this in his Brahmasutras through
‘’
tadantarapratipattau ramhati samparishwaktaha’’.
Saankhyaas make the
Pradhanam responsible for creation but not the Brahman. Both Gautama (nyaaya
darsanam) and Kanaada( vaiseshika darsanam) say “ Iswara made the
transformation of atoms for creation’’. They say both cosmos and individual
self i.e., Macro and micro coswmos are separate entities from Eeswara.
The greatness of
mother
Upaadhyaan

One Master is
equivalent to ten ordinary teachers. Hundred masters are equivalent to one
father. Even thousand fathers are not equivalent to one mother. So who soever
make the mother suffer is definitely a demon.
Some slokaas (Verses)

People while away
their time with gambling in the morning, gossiping about women in the afternoon
and discussing about thieves in the night.
Wise people spend
their time with discussion of Mahabharata in the morning, Ramayana in the
afternoon and Shrimadbhagavat in the night.
Nahijanmani

Greatness cannot come
by birth. It has to be acquired. Milk becomes curd and from curd comes out
clarified butter( ghee) as per their qualities. Like wise as per their great
qualities caste/class comes.
Ojas means energy of
body or body strength. (kriya ssakti).
Tejas means mental
maturity. ( Ichha sakti).
Duti means
intellectual ability or buddhiprakaasam. (Gnaana Sakti).
Swanaama
chihnitaadhanyaaha pitrunaamasya madhyamaah. Putranaamasyaathamaah swasurena

One should be
recognized by one’s own qualities abilities. This is the best. Recognition
obtained through father is second quality. Recognition obtained through
offspring is third quality. Recognition obtained through father-in-law is worst
quality.
Philosophy (vedaant)
Greeks &
Europeans have limited their experiments regarding Soul, Brahman etc to outer
world only. The ancient sages found the things required for the transcendental
world on an eternal basis by going deep into the mind and were successful.
Vedant describes the Dharma as the experience beyond the senses. It never describes
the Dharma as external to Nature or cannot be achieved by being in the Nature
or beyond the Nature. What is upanishat? It is the reading of antahkarana or
mind. It is called Sriti. In that the efforts of great sages is found but not
their legacy. Sriti is true in all times. It will not change according to time.
Bhagavatgita, mahabharatam, Ramayanam, manu smriti, yaagnavalkya smriti,
Parasara smriti etc are called Smritis. These Smritis change as per time. For
ex: matric currency came into effect from 1957. The coins & currency prior
to 1957 will not be valid now. The law during past cannot be made applicable
now. What is religion? It is called Matam in Sanskrit. Matam means mind. So
religion came out of mind. Naturally it will be named after that person who
started it. Matam or religion normally dependent upon the life and living style
of that Matakarta or the one who had started it.
Hindu matam or
religion depends upon Veda& Puranaas.
Tadetat
brahmaapoorvam anantaram abaahyam. Ayam aatmaa brahma sarvanubhooh.
Brihadaaranyakam
5------19
This Brhaman is not
having ins and outs. No beginning and ending. Everything is experienced by
Brahmam.
Hindu matam or
religion will show you the path of intangible Brahman through tangible Brahman.
It has not endorsed this path limited to caste, creed, race, class, sex and
even age. It emphasized that attaining liberation is the right of every human
being. It says that who traverses the path of truth and who is having the
capacity to question is the innovator. Hindumatam does not torture the people
for baptizing. Hindu dharma and Indiawhich is called KARMABHOOMI is destroyed
then the whole world will be perished. If anybody contemplates destruction of
Indiashall be in peril and will be annihilated totally. There will not be any
iota of doubt in it. They will be incommunicado.
All physical laws are
manifestations only. They are not creation. Central and State Governments make
Rules and regulations through the legislatures. This is creation. The officers
of Central and the respective state governments implement those orders. This is
called manifestation. But the officers of State or Central Govt officers are
not empowered to make the rules& regulations.
Energy is two types.
Potential (Gupta shakti) and Kinetic (vimukta shakti). Potential (Gupta shakti)
energy is called Avyaktam. It is infinite, steady (nischalam) and unparallel.
This Potential (Gupta shakti) energy is called unmanifested Brahman. Kinetic
(vimukta shakti) energy is manifested Brahman. This manifested Brahman is
creative. It moves and vibrates. Brahman, energy, Bhagavan or God and Jagat are
one and the same thing.
Newton has seen one
apple falling down. Falling down is one physical incident and seing that
falling down is another physical incident. The relation between these two
physical incidents led to law of gravitation. The invention of steam engine is
also the result of a relation between two physical incidents. This led to a
science physical science or Physics. So physics is the science dealing with relationship
of two or more physical incidents. Likewise the relation between living beings
led to Biology. All sorts of alfa, beta, gaama, x, radio etc rays are nothing
but electromagnetic waves. There is unity between animated and inanimated
things. All these things were found by great Rishis during their
meditation.jagat, physical and mental business are combinely called PRAKRITI or
Nature. Physical business ( Sareeraka pravritti) is called Jagrataavastha
(sthoola sareera or physical body). Mental business ( maanasika pravritti) is
called swapnaavastha or subtle body or sookshma sareer). The things that appear
in these two states i.e.,waking (conscious) and sleeping (subconscious) states
are called AHAMKRIT in Sanskrit. These Ahamkrits or the appeared things in
these two states merge with superconscious state or sushupti or tureeya sthiti
and disappear. Lastly everything merges in COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS. This Cosmic
consciousness is called the knower or Gnaata.so whatever is seen or appears in
subconscious or conscious states is nothing but the contours of KNOWER or God
the father only. Once“I concept’’ i.e., I am the doer or the ego is givenup the
remaining is self realization or ATMASAKSHATKAARAM only. As told by Bhagavan
Ramana Maharshi one should strive for
“who am I ?’’ is only
required than the question ‘’ what I had achieved?’’. For that one must become
Yama. The one who is having unflinching selfcontrol is called Yama. Swami
Vivekanannda said, ‘’ The believers of pratyksha vada i.e., the people who believe
the things that are seen or felt by the senses nakedly may ridicule Mata Dharma
or rules & regulations of a religion but if you remove Matadharma from the
society of men and women then the remaining is beasts of forest only. The goal
of mankind is not pleasures of senses. The goal is to gain Brahma gnaan or
spiritual wisdom. Real wisdom spiritual greatness. That is the real wisdom.’’.
This spiritual wisdom gives us the real happiness. All the material gains are
nothing but writings on the water.
Sense pleasure is but
natural. To give up the ultimate goal of spiritual victory and thrive for
material gains is suicidal.

‘’Gain of infiniteness
is real happiness. The one which is having beginning and ending does not give
us happiness. So one should endeavour for knowledge of God the father’’ said
the great saint Sanatkumara.
OMKAARAM
Om sabdavaachyamcha
sabdaprateekamcha.
Adi Sankaracharya.
Om is not a word or
phonics. It is more than that. Omis the word. Its contour and meaning is also
Omonly. Vaagarthaamiva sanpruptau says Mahakavi Kaidas, the Inndian Shakespere.
Word and its meaning are unbreakable. There are no sun rays withut Sun. Both
are compliment to each other. The conglomeration or combination of different
gestures into a compatable or coherent form is language. Mathematics or any
other subject is formed like this only. Om is the combination AKAARA, UKAARA
and MAKAARA phonics. It is having Universal concept. The whole Universe has
come out of sphotam or sabdam or sound. The universe that came out of this
sound is manifested Brahman or Vyakta Brahman. The description or Vaachakam of
this Universe is the word OM. This Om can digest all phonics/syllables in its
womb.
A Maatra or syllable
is depicted as point in OM. This syllable is representing generator or working
Brahma. VA Maatra or syllable is representing operator or Vishnu iin Om. Immm
is representing destructor or Maheswara in Om.
An article or a thing
can be big or small. It cannot be both at the same time. When you compare that
thing with different things it may appear as big or small. Photon is as big as
the whole world and as small as the whole of a needle. That is what the
scientists say. But soul is subtler than Atom and bigger than universe. There
is no doubt about it. The first word or sound is nothing but OMonly. It will
take the meditator nearer to the God and ultimately make this meditator to
merge with God is this OM only which is called Nadabrahma.
Om tatbrahma om

Brahma (working
generator), Vishnu (operator) and Maheswara(destructor) came out of OM only.

Viswa, taijasa,
praagna, pratyagaatma, viraat, hiranyagarbha, avyaakruta and paramaatma are the
eight limbs of OM. Akaara, Ukaara, Makaara and Arthamathra are four legs of OM.
Jaagrata (conscious state ), swapna (subconscious state) and sushupti
(superconscious state) are three states of OM. Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Sadaasiva
and Maheswara are five wings of OM. If these things are not known then one
cannot get liberation.
Hraswo dahati
paapaani deergomoksha pradaayakaha adhyaayanaha plutovaapi
trividhochhaaranenatu.
You can pronounce
OMas hraswam i.e., shorter or as plutam i.e., little longer, or deerghaam i.e.,
more longer. Hraswam i.e., shorter OM will remove our sins. Plutam i.e., little
longer OMwill make our just desires fulfilled. Deerghaam i.e., more longer OM
will liberate us. If you utter OM loudly so that it is heard then it is called
Vaachikam. If it is uttered in the gullet without opening the mouth then it is
called Upaansu. If it is uttered mentally without any sound coming out then it
is called Maanasikam. Omkaaram comprises Naadam, Bindu and Kala. The concerned
body shall get merged in the next body and gives the result immediately
depending upon the places it is memorized.
Nada, Bindu and Kala
are the replicas of
a) satwa, rajas &
tamas qualities,
b) Conscious, Sub
conscious and super conscious states, and c) Akaara, Ukaara & Makaara.
Pranavanaadam
japatwaam tadaa mukto bhavishyanti.
There is a gender
difference between all other Mantras. There is no gender difference OM
chanting. So get liberated by chanting OM.
Sobriquets for
liberation
Raajayogam samaadhischa
unmaneecha manonmanee amaratwam layastatwam soonyaasoonyam parampadam amanakam
tathaa adwaitam niraalambam niranjanam Jeevanmuktischa sahajaa turyaacha

Liberation has got so
many synonyms. They are:
Raajayogam, Samadhi,
unmanee, manonmanee, amaratwam, laya, tatwam, soonyaasoonyam, parampadam,
amanaskam, adwaitam, niraalambam, niranjanam, jeevanmukti, sahaja and tureeyam.
Uttamaa tatwa
chintaiva madhyamaa saastra chintanam athamaa mantra chintamcha
teerthabhratyaaha athamaathamaa.
Always remembering or
thinking about Brahman is number one category. Remembering or thinking about
Sastras is middle category. Visiting holy places is least category.
Penance (Tapas)
Penance means heat.
Tena tyaktena
bhunjeetha---------- Eesanyopanishad.
Live or spend your
life in sacrifices. To starve body without food and torturing it with severe
religious doctrines in order to get salvation is not Penance.
Saa vidya Adhyaatma
vidyaa. Real and the most superior education is spirituality. To shed the low
value material benefits for the sake of the highest valued Spiritual gains is
Penance or Tapas. For higher gains we give up/sacrifice so much of playing time
for the sake of education. This is also Tapas. The Sadhana we do for physical,
mentasl & spiritual allround upliftment is Penance. The burning of incense
stick (Agarbatti) in our house will spread its fragrance to the neighbours
around your house. Likewise our allround upliftment shall be most useful not
only to us but also to the society. We will become heros instead of villains in
the society. The merger of mind and senses is real penance. This penance is
superior to all Dharmas. The penance is the root cause of literature, arts,
fine arts, sciences and for all sorts of sadhana. Vedas are not draconian laws
that make us a bonded labour. They are not Jails. They will emphasise that find
out Paramatma dwelling in you. You are not dwelling in Him and hence the
difficulties.
Three Bodies and five
sheaths.
1) Physical Body
(sthoola sareeram):
It consists of
Annamaya kosh or sheath. It is studied in Anatomy.
2) Subtle Body (
sookshma sareer):
It consists of three
sheaths. They are praanamaya, manomaya and vignaanamaya sheaths. The
individuality of man and reincarnation or rebirth after death is included in
this body. This body is studied in Nervous systems, tatwa sastra and
psychology.
3) Idea body (
Kaarana sareera):
This consists of the
last sheath i.e., Anandamaya kosh. This body is studied in Nyaya, Mimamsa ans
manstatwa sastra.
Yadidam kincha jagatsarvam
praanaejati nissrutaha.
Rigveda
Whole jagat is
manifested due the vibrations of Praana. Thing is one only. Due to naama
(names) and roopa (configurations) it becomes inert Jagat or Cosmos. With
cosmic consciousness that Jagat transforms into Mind. Avyaktam means
unmanifested and is called Bija sakti or root power. Its first sibling is
MAHAT.
Death----Jeeva(soul)
The decay of physical
body is called DEATH. The Jeeva and life force comes out from that body after
death. It will travel in air(Vayu mandalam). Such types of souls with life
forces in the air will be encountered by this soul. These souls with
unfulfilled and different types of desires shall be wandering in different
echelons of this plane of air. These types of souls or Jeevas without having
any Physical body (bodies) are called Pretas. These pretas are having subtle
and idea bodies only. This world is called Preta prapancham.
Where the soul leaves
the body there in that surroundings of that place, this Preta will be getting
the experiences of other worlds. The sight of the dead man shall merge with
Sun. Life force merges in Air, speech merges in Fire, blood and sperm of male
and female merges in water and physical body merges in the earth. The life
force is divided into five airs called Prana, Apaana, samana, vyaana &
Udaana. These five pranas are further divided into ten and then into fifty
airs. Each is having a specific function to perform. For ex: Praana for
crystallization (sphatikeekarana), samana for assimilation(spongeekarana), apaana
for elimination (visarjana), udaana for metabolizing (Jeevaanupaaka) and Vyaana
for circulation (prasarana).The UDAANAVAAYU(one of the five life forces) in the
throat shall send the subtle and idea bodies out of the dead body. What is
death? We go to bed after getting tired and after getting up the body gets
invigorated. Sleep is a shorter one for invigoration of the body. In sleep the
life force, mind (subtle body) and Idea body remain alive. The physical body is
static or as good as dead. Like wise this death is a long sleep. So till
rebirth the other two bodies viz., subtle and Idea bodies remain active in
other fields as per their Karma etc. The transmigeration of soul from one
physical body to another physical body is called death. The merger of subtle
and Idea bodies with Brahman is liberation. Birth is destined. It is the
entrance. So death is also destined. It is the exit. This is unavoidable for
any Jeeva till it merges with Brahman.
Take a fistful of
earth and put it into a Jar filled with water. The subtlest particles will be
floating on the surface of the water. The other particles shall be suspending
or lying on the bottom of water as per their magnitude or weight. Likewise the
departed souls or Jeevaas shall be roaming in their orbits in different fields
according to their developmental status. They cannot encroach the fields
assigned to them. The higher echelon Jeevaas can visit the lower echelons if
they wish but not vice versa. On the physical plane also the accommodation is
given to the Govt servants as per their respective status. If Chief Minister or
Prime Minister wants he can summon or call a clerk or officer but not vice
versa. The Jeevas shall get rebirth according to their respective Karma as a
man, animal. Bird, tree or creature. For rebirth it may take 2 to 5000 years.
If we are able to
taste, eat, drink and hear then it can be said that all the three bodies are
working in general and physical body in particular. Plannings, dreams and
internal visions are happening means both subtle and idea bodies are working in
general and subtle body in particular. Deep sleep, deep meditation and
farsightedness are the work(s) of Idea body. So the man working with Physical
body is material man, while working with subtle body he is called Energetic man
and while working with Idea body he is called pragnaa or wisdom man.
Will power or
ichhasakti means creation is planned (Karana).
Power of wisdom or
Gnaanasakti means order of creation(subtle).
Power of work or
kriyasakti means the contour of creation (Physical).
The creation is
nothing but Brahman without changing himself shall appear in different names
and contours like gold and gold jewellery.
If actual thing is
covered it is called Avarana Dosha or fault of the cover. A burning wick is not
visible due to the darkened glass cover or chimney because of the smoke. If
actual thing appears to be something else it is called Vikshepana Dosha. Dosha
means fault. It is something like a rope in the darkness creates an illusion of
snake. Here darkness is Avarana dosha and to mistake the rope as snake is
vikshepana dosha.
The kindness or grace
of God
Mookam karoti
vaachaalam pangum langhayate girim yatkripaa tamaham vande paramaananda
maadhavam.
Dumb fellow will be
able to speak and a lame fellow shall be able to climb the mountains. Oh God!
Only your grace is required then anything is possible. Salutations to you.
Incarnations
As per Hindu
mythology, Lord Vishnu had eight incarnations. They are:
1) Matsya---- grasp
wisdom out of ocean of doubts.
2) korma---- lead
life with unattachment.
3)
varaaha-----dedication and discipline are the two teeth. With that do your
duties or Dharma.
4) Naarasimha-----
shed ego.
5)
Vaamana---sacrifice everything to God.
6) Parasurama-------
suurender or suffer.
7) Srirama-----------what
you encounter in life is decision of Karma and self effort.
8) Sri Krishna---- be
amenable to God.
In kaliyuga Kalki,
the Avataar of Vishnu will be born to Vishnu yas in village Sambhala is what is
written in Srimadbhagavat.
Visting great saints
will remove our sins, touching them shall remove our Karma and conversing with
shall remove our difficulties.
The sound of life
force is called Naadam, pure intellect is called Bindu (Point) and effulgence
that is reflecting in this Bindu is called Kala. The combination of Naada,
Bindu and Kala is called Pranavam or Saguna(with qualities) and saakaara (with
contour) or tangible Brahman . Paramaatma or Brahman or God the father is
beyond this Naada, Bindu and Kala. That is why God is Naada bindu kalaateeta.
The whole animated and inanimated universe is percolated and permeated with
this Pranavam. Its form is effulgence or JYOTIRMAYAM.
Sabdabrahmamayi,
Charaacharamayi, Jyotirmayi, Vaangmayi, Nityaanandamayi, paraatparamayi,
Mayamayi and Srimayi are the eight types of wealth of God. Materialisation is
Body (Durga). Vibration or life force(Lakshmi) is for the movement of this
body. To keep that life force in a proper manner is Radiation or
Pragnaasakti(Sarasdwati).
Meaning of some words
or symbals of Mythology
Chakra (a weapon of
Vishnu/Sri Krishna) is symbol for mentality. Likewise gada(truncheon) for
intellect or Buddhi, Bow (Dhanush) for ego, Ojas for Kriyasakti, Tejas for
Ichhasakti, dyuti for Gnaana sakti, blue colour for infinitude, Aadisheshu (
the srpent bed of SriMahavishnu) or Paancha Janyam ( counch of Sri Krishna) for
mind, Vaijayantimaala ( a garland that adores Sri Maha Vishnu) and pillar for
body are the sybols. Astibhaati priyam roopam naamachetasya panchakam
Adyatrayam Brahmaroopam jagadroopam tatodwayam.
Asti means Sattu or
omnipotent, bhaati means chittu or omnipresent and priyam means aanandam or
omniscient are eternal. Naamam means names and roopam means configuration are
not permanent. That is Brahman with first three attributes is eternal. The
Jagat with next two attributes is temporary.
Food and Mind
Annam pumsaasitam
trethaha jaayate jatharaagninaa malamstavishthobhaagasyaat madhyamo maamsataam
vrajet mano kanishtobhaagasyaat tasmaat annamayam manaha.
The food we take is
converted into three forms by the energy fire in the stomach. (1) the solid
part into excretions and urine, (2) the semi solid portions into blood, bones,
marrow and nerves etc of seven elements and (3) the subtle portion becomes
mind.
Even if it is seen according
to Pancheekarana also, the ether portion shall become antahakarana, vaayu
portion becomes mind, agni portion becomes buddhi, water portion becomes
chittam and earth portion becomes ego.
Anumantaa visasitaa
nihamtaa kraya vikrayaa
Sanskartaacha upahartaacha
khaadakascha iti ghaatakaaha.
The eater of the
fish, frogs birds and animals etc, their young ones, their eggs, butcher, the
one who supports the butcher for killing those dumb living beings, buyer,
seller, the cook and carrier are all sinners. If a tree is cut then the new
branches and leaves that come out will be of that tree only. God is described
as Paramadayalu meaning magnanimity personified. He even protects his children
by killing the demonic people like Hiranyakasipa, Hiranyaaksha, Ravana and
Kumbhakarna etc. Such a kind God shall encourage meat eating. It is not the
animals that are to be given for oblation but our internal and external enemies
like Kama(desire), Krodha(anger), lobha(greed), moha (delusion), mada(pride),
matsarya( envy, material attachment). These are the animals one has to
sacrifice.
Gomansabhakshana---Pranaayama
Gomaansam bhojaye
nnityam pibed amaravaaruneem tamahankuleenam anye itare kulaghaatukaaha
gosabdenaaditaajihwaata taprasohitaaluni gomaansa bhakshana tantu mahaapaataka

Hatha yoga pradeepika
3.47—48
The one who eats cow
meat on daily basis and the one who drinks the nectar that oozes out of Moon
are the highest class people. Rest are all lowest class people. Go sabda (cow)
means tongue. To insert the folded tongue back into the gullet (khecharee mudra
or posture) is called go maansabhakshanam i.e., eating cow meat. There will be
feeling of sweetness in the throat while doing meditation in KHECHAREE MUDRA.
This sweetness is called the nectar that oozes out of moon.
Praanaayama
dwishatkena pratyaahaarascha prakeertitaha pratyaahaara dwishatkena jayate
dhaaranaa subhaa dhaaranaa dwaadasa proktaa dhyaanam dhyaanavisaaradaha dhyaana
dwaadasakenaiva samaadhim abhideeyate.
12 good praanayamas
shall provide Pratyaaharam or make us unattached to senses. 144 good
praanayamas shall provide Dharana or concentration. 20,736 good praanayamas
shall provide Samadhi or trance.
Seven types of matter
Dravya, guna, karma,
saamaanya, vishesha, samavaaya and Abhaava are the seven types of matter. This
Dravya is of nine types. They are earth, water, fire, air, ether, time, sides,
self and mind. Amongst these nine, the first viz., earth, water, fire, air and
ether are called Panchabhootas or five vibratory elements. Guna means gnaana,
desire, misery, pleasure and color etc., Karma means work. Saamaanya means
species like mankind, animals and birds etc. visesha means difference(s)
amongst the species like high yield cows and low yield cows etc. Samavaaya
means both coexist. One is a compliment of other. Ex: sun and sun rays cannot
be separated. Abhaava means expressionless state.
SANSKRIT
Vedam means the one
which is heard. During meditation that vedam is heard. That is nothing but
Omkaar. Vedas occurred to the sages during meditation like lightnings. There is
no grammer for this Vedams heard during meditation. This vedams heard by sages
is called DEVABHASHA. With this as basis sages made a language with phonetics
and their origins. This is called Sanskrit. So vedam is not Sanskrit. So there
will not be any changes in nthe Vedam.

oriented desire.
2) Anveshana:
Knowledge of implementing a good desire.

Prasthaanatrayam
1) eesa kena katha
prasna munda maandookya tittiri yaitareyamcha chaandogyam brihadaaranyakam
tathaa. Ten upanishats viz., eesa, kena, katha, prasna, munda, maandookya,
taittareeya, yaitareyam, and chaandogyam brihadaaranyakam ,
2) Brahmasutras
written by sage Sri Vyasa and
3) srimadbhagavatgita
together are called prasthanatrayam.
The meditator or
Sadhaka remains in the body after the attainment of enlightenment with the
orders of Paramatma otherwise he leaves the body after two or three weeks.
MEDITATION
To born as man/woman
is our good karma. Only man can do and attain liberation with sadhana. Each and
every day morning one must do kriyayoga as per his/her convenient time. It is
really our good karma that we got a sadguru like Paramahansa Sri yogananda.
Love thy neighbour more than as you love thyself. Our goal liberation is the
highest. Do Karma without aspiring for any gain. That is Karmayoga.
Aatmaanam rathinam
viddhi sareeram rathamevacha
buddhimtu saarathim
viddhi manah pragrahamevacha.
Self is owner. Body
is chariot. Buddhi is charioteer. Mind is reigns. Dhyaanam is arrow. Goal is
liberation. To fix the mind concentration on breathing.
Indriyaani hayaanaahu
vishayaam teshu gocharam
Aatmendriyam
manoyuktam bhoktatyaahuhu maneeshanaha.
Panch karmendriyas
(action organs) and pancha gnaanendriyaas (sense organs) together are called
ten horses. Sabda (sound), sparsa(touch), roopa(seeing), rasa (taste) and gandha
(smell) are the orbits of those horses. The Jeeva consisting of Body, senses
and mind is the Bhokta or enjoyer.
Last words.
To our prattlings the
great people shall not reciprocate. Likewise donot get disturbed to ridicules
of others.if we weaken ourselves we cannot achieve anything. God is always
pleasant one. He cannot be demon one side and God on one side. There can not be
two fires like good fire and bad fire. Fire is fire after all. There is only
one fire. So God is one and only one.
Always
drinking the divine nectar, embodiment of wisdom personified, the giver of the
most cherishable happiness, blemishless, completely matured, eternal, beyond
pleasure and misery, beyond perception, beyond the qualities, beyond everything
are the attributes of my
Sadguru
Paramahansa Sri Sri Yogananda. My salutations to Him.
