Musings on Pure Vedanta 23 Mar 2021…part 1

Swami Sarvapriyanandaji makes a subtle yet profound point about Shravan, Manan and Nididhyasan Shravan is listening where listening again and again is important and at that time not to think what is being understood but if it can be repeated as is. Manan is not looking at what is being listened in light of our current understanding, but comparing listening to what one’s experience is (not to…

In these verses from 2.31 to 2.38, Kṛṣṇa works on Arjuna at two levels. At one level He talks to Arjuna at the super conscious plane educating him on what the ultimate Truth is.

He talks to Arjuna about how the undying and indestructible spirit lives on. Here, Kṛṣṇa addresses Arjuna’s fears about killing his svajanam, his relatives, elders and teaches him that what he considers to be the end of…

Sri Lalitayai Namah! Sri Vidya Gnaana Prakasham - Soundarya Lahari commentary - Sri Adi Shankara Gurave Namah!

Indian Tantra philosophy mentions that the energy at moolaadhaara keeps the existence as Jeeva and at Sahasrara, the same existence with its consciousness changing identity as Shiva!

When mantra is recited it enters into two stages called manana and nidhidhyasana!

Manana strengthens the thought through meaning! Nidhidhyasana triggers feeling from meaning and stabilizes the focus on feeling and experience!

When mantra turns to focus on feeling and experience, it touches the prana, from prana it gets transformed into its primordial energy state called Kubdalini!

Kundalini this aroused travels through the transformations of kinetic equals itself with static state to become a stable in equilibrium state of existence in continuity!

Only this state of mind creates an existence that is peaceful, balanced and ends in tranquillity!

శ్రీ లలితాయై నమః - శ్రీ విద్యా జ్ఞాన ప్రకాశం - సౌందర్యలహరి వ్యాఖ్యానం: శ్రీ ఆదిశంకర గురవే నమః!

సహస్రారం లేక సుషుమ్న ఊర్ధ్వ భాగంలో ఉన్న శక్తిని పరాశక్తి అనీ మూలాధారంలో జీవ చర్యలకు మాత్రమే ఉపయోగపడే శక్తిని జీవ శక్తి అనీ అన్నారు.

ఈ రెండింటి మధ్య సుషుమ్నలో శక్తి ప్రయాణమే పంచదశీ మంత్ర సాధన.

వాగ్భవ, కామ రాజ, శక్తి కూటాల మూలం దర్శించాలని ఆయా కూటాల ద్రష్ట సాధకులు ప్రతి కూటమికి చివర హ్రీమ్ అనే మూల పరాశక్తి బీజాక్షరాన్ని చేర్చి అన్నిటినీ కలిపిన పంచదశీ మంత్రం అయింది.

ఈ మంత్రానికి లేక సాధనా ఫలితమైన సంయమన, సమతుల్య, సంకల్ప యోగ స్థితి అయిన అనాహత శ్రీ ని చివర కలిపి లక్ష్మీధరులు షోడశి లేక షోడశాక్షరి లేక పదహారు అక్షరాల మంత్రంగా మలిచారు.

పదహారవ బీజాక్షరమైన శ్రీ ని కలుపుకున్నది కనుక ఇది శ్రీ విద్యగా పిలువబడుతున్నది. హ్రీమ్ సంకల్ప శక్త��� కారణమైతే శ్రీమ్ సమతుల్య కారణమౌతున్నది.

ఈ రెండూ కలిపి షోడశాక్షరి సమతుల్య సంకల్ప శక్తి అయిన శ్రీ లలితను చేరడానికి కారణమౌతున్నది!

Advaita Vedanta- Everything Means Nothing

What are Vedantas? Also known as Uttara Mimamsa, Vedanta is one of the six schools (astika) of Hindu philosophy. The word Vedanta translates as the end (-anta) of Vedas (ved-). Vedantas are reflections on the ideas and the philosophies we find in the Vedas. The core ideas of the Vedantas have inferred from the texts of Prasthanatrayi, i.e., the three sources of divine philosophy of Hinduism. The Prasthanatrayi consists of the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Brahma Sutras. Vedanta is not one particular doctrine or philosophy. It comprises of several different schools of thought. All the schools seek to establish the truth of the Universe using the ideas found in the Prasthanatrayi. Though the schools differ in their views, all of them concern themselves with three main ideas- Brahman (the ultimate reality), Atman (the soul or the self), and Prakriti (the physical matter). Some of the schools include Advaita, Dvaita, Vishishtadvaita, and Bhedabheda. Over the years, Vedanta became a very prominent school of Hinduism. With time, many new ideas were adopted, including some from other astikas like Yoga. Vedantas led to the development of quite a few Hindu traditions across India. For instance, the Shaktism tradition where the goddess is considered the Brahman (not to be confused with Brahmin), was heavily influenced by the Advaita Vedanta philosophies. Advaita Vedanta- A Non-Dualistic Reality Like most of the schools of Hindu philosophy, Advaita Vedanta is also a path to spiritual realization. Advaita Vedanta presents to us a non-dualistic kind of reality. In it, the true self (Atman) is the same as the ultimate metaphysical reality (Brahman). The roots of Advaita Vedanta can be traced back to 1st Millennium BCE. However, it is the 8th-century scholar Adi Shankaracharya who consolidated and developed the ideologies of Advaita Vedanta. Adi Shankaracharya’s Advaita Vedanta negates the age-old idea of the Atman being distinct than the Brahman. Like modern-day philosophies, this particular Vedanta focuses on the individual’s “true” self, seeking to attain moksha by realizing what this self entails. Accordingly, knowledge of one’s true self is liberating. Self-knowledge does not mean the awareness of Brahman within us. On the contrary, Advaitins believe that knowledge is the realization that awareness is Brahman. This viewpoint stresses on the importance of transcending all forms of duality and becoming one with the Brahman. Brahman according to the Advaitins The concept of Brahman within Advaita Vedanta is quite interesting to note. Adi Shankaracharya viewed Brahman as the ultimate reality beyond the human concepts of time and space. According to him, Brahman is nirguna, i.e., Brahman has no qualities or attributes whatsoever. The human perception of Brahman as finite and plural is because of their habit of superimposition (adhyasa). By referring to the Brahman as someone with certain qualities, humans created a separate personality of Brahman- God. Shankaracharya, thereby, makes a clear distinction between the saguna God and the nirguna Brahman. Advaitins believe that this human habit stems from ignorance or avidya (ajnana). The only way to get rid of this ajnana is the realization of the identity of Brahman. The understanding of Brahman requires the realization of the Atman- our true self. And that is achieved by anubhava (immediate intuition). Direct awareness of Atman is free from all definitions- this can be experienced only with correct knowledge. Correct knowledge kills all forms of human ignorance and leaves us with jnana of the Atman. Jnana is obtained via three stages of practice- sravana (hearing), manana (thinking), and nidhidhyasana (meditation). The world is Maya; Maya is Brahman Maya plays a fascinating role in Advaita Vedanta philosophies. We know that Atman is quite an essential aspect of this philosophy. We also know that Atman and Brahman are one and the same thing according to the Advaitins. What we need to know is the fact that Shankaracharya preached the concept of a universal soul (atman). According to him, the Atman, which is our life-force, is different than the jiva, which is what we think we are. Jiva comprises of individual consciousness, ego, and mortal perception of self. Atman, on the other hand, is the divine consciousness. Advaita Vedanta posits that we all are one Atman. There is just one Atman, and there is only one “me.” And that Atman is the same as Brahman. Brahman is the absolute reality for everyone else. Everything else is maya. Our bodies, our jiva, the physical matter around us- all are maya. Maya tricks us into believing that our bodies, thoughts, and perceptions make us individuals, different from one another. When in reality, we are all one soul. That is the absolute truth. That is Brahman. In fact, even Maya is Brahman. What created us is the only thing present within us- as matter and as consciousness. Moksha is the realization that everything is maya. It is when we realize that we all are one. It is the realization of the fact that maya isn’t unreal- even that is Brahman. Everything else becomes unimportant when we realize Brahman. Brahma Satyam, Jagan Mithya. For moksha, Adi Shankaracharya believed in jivanmukti. Basically, he believed that one needn’t die to achieve moksha. The knowledge of Brahman is moksha. The Symbolism of the Swan Motif Advaita Vedanta uses a white swan as its motif. The reason behind this is very symbolic. Swans are pure. They are unaffected by the water around them. The humans should also be like them- unaffected by Maya. Separating ourselves from the maya around gets us moksha. Therefore, the swans are a symbol of jivanmukti. The Sanskrit of a swan is Hamsa. A wordplay of Hamsa gives So’Ham, meaning I am He. So’Ham is the awareness that I am Brahman. The greatest Advaita philosophers are called paramahamsas (supreme swan), a title given to someone who has attained enlightenment. With Ganesha's Grace, The GaneshaSpeaks.com Team

#Virabhadrasana II

I hope 🤞 this inspires you to invoke the Veera(Warrior) in you. Virabhadra took form when shiva tore a hair from his matted lock on to the ground. So powerful was Virabhadra that he ended up beheading Daksha(Satis father) for humiliating Sati who threw herself in fire 🔥 in humiliation when she was not welcomed for the great sacrifice done at her fathers 🏠 house.

If veerabhadra could do this, can you imagine what you can when you do Manana (think) & Nidhidhyasana(contemplate) on him while you do your sadhana ?, Oh yes!! You become a warrior yourself. A warrior to flight your own battles where the enemy is none other than yourself. You will destroy the evil 👿 in you, for later all that’s left behind not harmony and peace but reality and truth.

By practising, a part of shiva will reside in you. That’s when you realise you you are the creator, creation and created.

Happy Monday 😇

Whenever you listen to you, you listen to others. When you don’t listen to others, you don’t listen to you also.

Whenever you listen to you, you listen to others. When you don’t listen to others, you don’t listen to you also.

Listen! Please come to the space of listening. Many teachers tell you, ‘However much you listen, unless you practice, it won’t help you.’ I tell you now, ‘However much you try to practice, unless you listen, it won’t help you!’

The problem is that we do not trust ourselves and our innate intelligence to respond to a question without preparation. That is why we start preparing the reply even…

What is Deeksha or Initiation, Muscle memory, Bio-memory, Bio-energy ? How is

I’ll define Deeksha. Super Consciousness intensely, electrocuting…..understand the word ‘electrocuting’….your existence and raising you to the frequency of it’s existence, is Deeksha.

It can happen through Guru, through the Deity, through even a tree, river, hill, with whoever Deeksha has happened for you, He is – that is, your Ishta Devata. Understand. Deekshameans Super-Consciousness…
