#271 Wisdom teachings by Prahlada, a child-devotee of Narayana (Bhagavatam)

#271 Wisdom teachings by Prahlada, a child-devotee of Narayana (Bhagavatam)

Prahlada was the son of an asura Hiranyakashipu and due to a set of unique circumstances found himself to be devoted deeply to Bhagavan Narayana.

His bhakti, devotion was so steadfast that all attempts to dissuade him including attempts to kill him did not work. What wisdom did he share with his own father and his friends?

We look into it, through a section of the Bhagavatam.

#270 Which is the best yajna or sadhana in the Gita (Part 2 of 2)

In part 1 we heard about some of the different sadhanas/religious disciplines mentioned in the Gita.

Bhagavan helps us see what these can achieve and what they cannot and explains why jnana yajna is the best yajna or sadhana.

This is part two of a two part series on sadhanas/yajnas.

#269 Which is the best yajna or sadhana in the Gita? Part 1 of 2

Although many claims about the efficacy of different sadhanas/religious disciplines are made, the Bhagavad Gita surprises us by telling us the best yajna.

In the fourth chapter, Bhagavan reveals other sadhanas/yajnas and helps us see what they can achieve and what they cannot.

This is part one of a two part series on sadhanas.

In composing this stotram of five verses Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya relates the five syllables - na-ma-shi-va-ya , to Bhagavan Shiva’s glories and his unchanging nature. He initiates us into chanting the mantra and also evokes a sweet surrender in us.

#267 Shiva maanasa puja - a loving mental puja offering

#267 Shiva maanasa puja - a loving mental puja offering

Composed by Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya, this set of five verses highlights the power of offering puja with just your mind. This is not a substitute for a regular puja rather an addition to make one's bhakti and absorption deeper.

First, we hear the story of the origins of the Hridyaleeshwarar temple in Chennai and its connection with a sadhu's maanasam puja and then we dwell on the meaning of this beautiful stotram offering.

#266 I am the witness-consciousness of the 3 states of experience

#266 I am the witness-consciousness of the 3 states of experience

We love and thrive on our experiences and crave for more.

Vedanta helps us question if experience is indeed our reality.

Through an enquiry into the three states of experience - waking, dream and deep sleep, we discover the unchanging I that is present in all experiences but untouched by all experiences. Sounds like a contradiction? It is the un-negatable truth about you.

In the process we also mention how Vedanta looks upon lucid dreaming and dream analysis.

#265 Sharada (Saraswati) stotram - its meaning and powerful blessing

#265 Sharada (Saraswati) stotram - its meaning and powerful blessing

The vision of Vedanta is that you are Brahman, the limitless being. It is not possible to see this wisdom without the grace of Brahman himself or herself as Bhagavati. It is not possible to see this wisdom without seeing the world as a manifestation of Brahman.

And so we worship the wisdom and intelligence permeating the world as Devi Sharada or Saraswati, the Goddess of wisdom to bless us, especially around Vasanta Panchami after the onset of spring in Bharat. We have an added connection to Devi Sharada who is the presiding deity of Dakshinamnaya Peetha of Sringeri.

#264 The What, Why and How of a Tirthayatra (Hindu pilgrimage)?

Every year, practising Hindus undertake a pilgrimage to sacred sites, temples, rivers, mountains, lakes and places considered energetically more potent with the presence of devatas and Rishis and hence their blessings.

A tirthayatra (pilgrimage) is different from a vacation in which we expect and seek comfort and convenience. What are the reasons we undertake a tirthayatra and how might we go about it?

All of us struggle with sustaining our motivation levels in eating healthy, exercising regularly, meditating daily, contacting friends, learning a skill, doing japa or regularly attending Vedanta class.

Dharmo rakshati rakshitah. Dharma protects the one who protects it.

#261 The Meaning of Sri Ramachandra Krpalu (Invitation to Sri Rama)

As we approach the re-opening of the grand Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, inviting Bhagavan Sri Rama to always be with us, we also invite Sri Rama into our hearts.

It was written by Goswami Tulsidas ji sometime in the 16th century as a part of Vinay Patrika.

We listen to this beautiful bhajan sung by our beloved Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati ji and dwell on the meaning of its verses, leading to much delight and gladness.

Shri Dattatreya is one of the most revered sages who incarnated on earth. And he gave teachings which are in the form of Tripura Rahasya. In the Jnana Khanda which is a section on wisdom, the commentator narrates a story of the Jivatma, its sense of bondage and liberation.

It is Sri Dattatreya Jayanti on 26th December 2023 and we hear his teaching today.

All of us have used Vedanta to avoid or bypass uncomfortable emotions or the challenges of daily living, at some time of the other.

If allowed to continue, spiritual bypassing prevents us from enjoying the fruits of this knowledge. And so we look at ourselves clearly and gain the right perspective to our emotions in the light of Vedanta.

#254 The Powerful blessing and meaning of Kalabhairava Ashtakam

Lord Shiva appears fierce and fearful especially to the ego who is challenged by fear and suffering. Then, how can we become fearless and gain punya for all our pursuits? By relating to the fierce form of Shiva, Kalabhairava.

Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya composed Kalabhairava Ashtakam, a set of 8 powerful verses which if chanted at least on an Ashtami (8th day of the full or new moon) will bless the devotee immensely. We bless ourselves by learning its meaning.

#253 Is Sannyasa necessary in the Vedanta pursuit?

#253 Is Sannyasa necessary in the Vedanta pursuit?

As a Vedanta student, everyone toys with the idea of sannyasa, either out of frustration or a fantasy. In the Advaita Vedanta tradition, we understand sannyasa both as a lifestyle and knowledge.

Sannyasa as knowledge is non-negotiable but sannyasa as a life style is optional. What does this mean? How do I calibrate my life in the light of this understanding?

What might you want to add to the list?

#251 The powerful blessing and meaning of Venkatesha Suprabhatam

#251 The powerful blessing and meaning of Venkatesha Suprabhatam

Sri Venkatesha Suprabhatam is a prayer to Lord Venkatesha (an avataara of Vishnu) to arise, protect and bless the world. We understand the meaning of the 29 verses which paint a vivid picture of the smallest beings like the bees to all the devatas welcoming the auspicious presence of Venkatesha at dawn.   

Many of us have grown up listening to the spiritually uplifting rendition by MS Subbulakshmi.

Then how much more elevating might it be to understand its meaning?

Your mornings will never be the same again!

#250 How and Why we postpone our happiness (and don't even know it)?

'If only' and 'But' - two small words. We understand the big impact these words have on how we think, behave and delay our happiness.

If we yearn for happiness, why would we postpone it. And yet we do! We recognise our eight patterns and break free from them. We can be happy. Here and Now.

#246 What happens after the body dies - 4 possibilities

In the Vedic Vision, the body-mind are mere instruments to fulfill the purpose of life. Depending on how one has lived, either

1. The jiva is reborn

2. The jiva goes to svarga or naraka

3. The jiva is in limbo, lingering as a ghost

4. The jiva is jeevanmuktah, free while living.

We understand all these four possibilities and rethink our choices about life.

#243 Life and the purpose of Marriage in the Vedic tradition

#243 Life and the purpose of Marriage in the Vedic tradition

If a marriage is just for the sake of wealth, pleasure, love or even children, all of which are conditional, it is difficult to sustain it.

Sharing bits of her conversation with K, a young woman in her twenties who is not clear about the purpose of marriage, Swamini B speaks to marriage not only being a major life goal but also a means to an end. What is that end goal and what are the many things we can learn about marriage from the Vedic tradition?

Call to action - For the last many years, I have been concerned about the rather limited view of marriages that our youth have and also concerned about so many marriages falling apart.  I do believe that like other religions, Hindu couples need premarital counselling and support to help clarify their ideas and come to a common understanding as a couple. Perhaps we could have a group of barefoot counsellors or mentors to take this initiative forward. If any of you want to join, are counsellors or are in the helping profession and are married please do get in touch with me (⁠swaminiji@discoveratma.com⁠) by 15th Oct 2023. We will meet online and evolve a way forward.

#242 Is Ego the enemy?

The ego has a bad reputation. It is often blamed for not enough progress on the spiritual path. In the Vedic tradition, it is none other than the ahankara who undertakes an enquiry into itself, in the light of the Shaastra.

Here is an illumining dialogue between the Atma and the Ego.

#240 Can Bhakti and Knowledge walk hand-in-hand?

In recent times a divide has creeped up between bhakti and knowledge and many (wrongly) believe that the twain do not meet.

The truth is,

You can have bhakti only if you know Bhagavan.

If you know Bhagavan you cannot help but have bhakti.

We explore the role of bhakti sadhana and bhakti darshana, the vision of bhakti systems and where these walk hand-in-hand with Advaita Vedanta.

This question has two parts – First, did God create injustice and suffering. If yes, then how to accept it?

Looks like Ishvara has crafted an awe-inspiring multi-dimensional, multi-world manifestation that we call life just like the video game developer has developed a video game. By looking at 5 similarities between Ishvara and the video game creator, we find clear answers to our question.

#234 Why your sensitivity is a strength, not a weakness

‘I get hurt easily because I am very sensitive. Wish I was not so sensitive. ‘ complain many people. 

What is sensitivity? Can we do without it?

Sensitivity is the ability to be keenly attuned to our surroundings, emotions, and the experiences of others. Sensitivity is actually a gift of this human condition from Bhagavan. What are those 7 ways in which it enriches our lives?

#232 The meaning and blessing of Guru Stotram

#232 The meaning and blessing of Guru Stotram

In the Vedic tradition, learning with a Guru is essential for wisdom and blessings to flow in our lives.

What makes any Guru great is the Shaastra. There is no Guru without the Shaastra and the Shaastra cannot be learnt without a Guru.

The select verses of what is known as the Guru Stotram, were selected by Pujya Swami Dayānanda Saraswatī. These verses are found in the Guru Gita, a text of 274 shlokas.  Guru Gita itself is from Skanda Purana, one of the 18 Puranas. These beautiful shlokas talk about the glory of a guru, role and necessity of a guru in one’s life, and the benefit of the pursuit of self knowledge.

It is easy for the one who has a Guru to have reverence for Ishvara, Shaastra and the Guru. The one who does not have a guru nor seeks one, wonders what all the fuss is about. It takes having a guru, to know the magic that unfolds in one's life.

#231 Just be an instrument of the sacred (Nimitta maatram bhava)

#231 Just be an instrument of the sacred (Nimitta maatram bhava)

After showing his resplendent cosmic form Bhagavan Krishna tells Arjuna, ‘nimitta maatram bhava’ – just be an instrument or rather a channel for the cosmic plan to unfold. How do we see the meaning of this in our lives?

If we are being the mere ahankara, attachment to a limited concept of self then what are its effects? In contrast, how and why should one be an instrument of the divine? Perhaps the simple, elegant flute has some lessons to teach us.

#230 Understanding is NOT equal to Agreement

#230 Understanding is NOT equal to Agreement

Many of our conflicts in close relationships arise because we mistake understanding for agreement. 'If these people really understand us, they just have to agree with us', we think.

However, since we are similar to each other as well as different from each other, we can learn to co-exist with warmth and respect We explore our natural need for agreement with the other as well as learn to increase our understanding of the other.

Our hearts become bigger as we practise kshama, accommodating the other and freeing ourselves from our ragas and dveshas to 'our' views and opinions.

#229 Why the need for perfection is not a perfect pursuit

#229 Why the need for perfection is not a perfect pursuit

'Perfect' preens and struts on the catwalk of achievements with its self-importance. The dictionary meaning of the word ‘perfect’ is to have all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; If indeed we used the meaning of the word ‘perfect’ in the sense of what it really means, that is great. But often we use the word, ‘perfect’ in the sense of complete and absolute. And then ‘Perfect’, becomes a sword hanging over your head.

 The perfect job. The perfect child. The perfect life. The perfect body. The perfect guru even…

This is not the same as having high standards.

We see the problems that our need for perfection creates and learn to align our need to our best with Dharma, in the light of the Vedic tradition. Things change for us, for the better in different areas of our lives. What are these?

#228 The Blessing and Glory of Ganga (Ganga stotram)

#228 The Blessing and Glory of Ganga (Ganga stotram)

Today is Ganga dussehra (when Ganga descended on this earth to sustain, purify and bless all of humanity). Ganga is not an ordinary river. She is Devi. We understand her greatness through the vision of Adi Shankaracharya through his composition, Ganga Stotram. In 'seeing' what Adi Shankaracharya 'saw' and praised of Mother Ganga, we stand purified and blessed. The episode includes the story of why Ganga descended on earth and the meaning of the opening verses of the stotram and it was recorded on her holy banks in Rishikesh. Also, if you have some Gangajal at home, do sprinkle a few drops on your head and allow yourself to be blessed. Jai Jai Gange Har Har Gange

#225 Karma Yoga in resolving conflicts

#225 Karma Yoga in resolving conflicts

As long as we live, conflicts arising from differences in opinions, views and perspectives cannot be avoided. Then, how can we apply karma yoga in these challenging situations?

We first identify whether our approach to resolving conflicts is aggressive, assertive, passive, passive-aggressive or collaborative and then work to apply the most appropriate approach. Our karma grows in kaushalam, competent karma offered unto Bhagavan and we are better able to accept people and situations. We fight. We learn. We grow.

#224 Runa-anubandha - Karmic debt and freeing oneself

Runaanubanda is unique to the Vedic tradition because it considers connections with different beings across lifetimes. Runam/Rnam, debt is based on the principle of reciprocity – a mutual give and take. If I have taken more than I have given, I incur a debt and have to pay back to that person. If I have given more than I have taken, then that person has to pay back his/her debt to me.

How does runaanubanda affect me and how can I be free from it?

#223 Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya and the teaching tradition of Advaita Vedanta

When we enter a lit room, we see the many objects that are around. One thing that most of us miss is the 'light' in which one sees all the objects.

The living teaching tradition of Advaita Vedanta is lit up by the the bhashyas, commentaries of Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya. We see the important features of the bhashya which make it the light that lights up our lives and in so doing, offer our respects to him, on his jayanti.

We celebrate Adi Shankaracharya Jayanti on 25th April, 2023, more than 1200 years later by graciously receiving his legacy and sharing it.
