About Vedic Scriptures

[aahanna]

"I feel the urge to escape from everything, but I've been reminded that Indian girls, who embody the spirit of Durga and Kali, don't run away; they face challenges, fight, and emerge victorious in battles."

[suvarnarekha]

You think CAA is discriminatory against Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Afghanistani Muslims?

Yes, it is. They've earned it by persecuting all the minorities there.

You believe in minority marginalization right? Why back out now?

Why harbour this selective support system towards the minorities of your country but not your neighbours who have been treated akin to dirt and assassinated brutally in unimaginable numbers since independence?

A GODSEND PERQUISITE

ॐSUNDARKĀṆDॐ

The Sundarakānda — as also the whole of the Rāmāyana- has many spiritual, literary, and narrative aspects. In the great epic poem of Rāmāyana, this chapter marks the acme of Vālmiki’s literary and poetic excellence, and so it is sundara, that is, beautiful. There are other interpretations as well. It is suggested that it is sundara because it relieved Sītā of her sorrow. Sundara can mean a messenger, and the Kānda includes the message sent by Rāma to Sītā. Sundara is also a name for an intermediary who establishes a mutual contact between a hero and a heroine, as Hanuman did in the case of Rāma and Sītā. Indeed, the Rāmāyana is the word form of Śrī Rāma, and the Sundarakānda, which is the fifth of the seven chapters, is the Lord’s heart. Thus, when reading the Sundarakānda, one is entering into Śrī Rāma’s own heart.

Śri Hanumānajī is the hero (nāyak) of this Sundarakānda. In the quest for devotion (Bhakti), as seen in the Sundarakānda, wherein Rāvana—who represents a deluded intellect—has kidnapped Sītājī—who represents devotion—every spiritual aspirant (sādhaka) determined to reach the goal must learn to face the various obstacles and challenges posed en-route, from Śri Hanumānajī, who crosses the formidable ocean (bhav-sāgara—representing the material ocean of transmigration) by remembering the Lord’s name at all times.

This heroic chapter demonstrates that just as the sky of Śri Hanumānajī’s heart is ever-permeated by the presence of Śrī Lakṣman, Śrī Sītājī and Śrī Rāmajī (wielding a bow and quiver of arrows); so too, is Śrī Rāma’s heart filled with the valour and presence of Śri Hanumānaji’s feats in the Sundarakānda.

The recovery of something lost is sometimes described as Sundara, and in this section, the topic dealt with is the discovery of the abducted Sītā. The study of the Sundarakānda is considered equivalent to the study of the whole of the Rāmāyana as far as gaining spiritual merit is concerned. Just as the Upaniṣads are said to contain the supreme purpose of the Vedas, the Sundarakānda is supposed to be the heart of the Rāmāyana.

Invoking the grace of Śrī Hanumānajī grants a spiritual aspirant strength (bala), worldly knowledge (buddhi) and spiritual wisdom (vidyā), whilst also removing all suffering (kleśa) and vices (vikāra). Yet, what is the ultimate fruit of one who chants this Sundarakānda?

 सकल सुमंगल दायक रघुनायक गुन गान। सादर सुनहिं ते तरहिं भव सिंधु बिना जलजान॥ Dohā 60 | Rāmacaritamānasa | Sundarakānda |

Meaning: A recital of the virtues of Śrī Rāma (the Lord of the Raghus) bestows all blessings. Those who reverently hear them, cross the ocean of mundane existence without any boat (any other means), says Śrī Tulsīdāsaji.

Cambodia :

Seven-headed Naga King at the entrance of World's largest religious monument, Angkor Wat built by Hindu king Suryavarman II

This is a huge temple complex located near Siem Reap in Cambodia. It was built by Khmer kings more than a thousand years ago. The complex has a large number of temples. The main temple is the only one that is well preserved. Other temples are in ruins. There is an international effort to restore some of the temples. The temples must have looked majestic when they were built.

A large stones were cut precisely and placed over each other without any bonding material to hold them together. The Khmer kings embraced Hinduism and Buddhism. The carvings are delicate and superbly detailed.

☸ Untangling the Threads of Mahābhārata Concisely...

The Sagacity of Mahābhārata through the Chakra System

Disclaimer: The sole reference of my source has been taken from Paramahansa Yogananda's "The Bhagavad Gita"

Mahābhārata was formerly named Jayasaṃhitā, narrated by a great ancient seer Vedavyāsa(originally named Kṛṣ��advaipāyana) and penned down by Lord Ganesha himself! Vyāsa is also regarded by many Hindus as a partial incarnation (Aṃśāvatāra ) of Vishnu.

According to Paramhansa Yogananda, the battlefield of Kurukshetra represents our own life. Dhṛtarāṣṭra is the blind and ignorant mind of ours which tends to give rise to 100 sense tendencies and desires. The 100 sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭrā are those sense tendencies. Pāṇḍu represents the wisdom, hence white. Hence Kurukṣetra is the battlefield of our mind, body and senses. It’s the battle of ignorance and wisdom, to find a way to rise up and get the status of Param Brahma.

Draupadī represents the-- Kuṇḍalinī and the Pāṇḍavas-- the five chakras of our body.

 Sehdeva, the base chakra Mūlādhāra, means avoidance of attitude that prevents one from attaining Inner Peace.

 Nakula represents the Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra, which correlates with "Niyama" and emphasizes the importance of adhering to attitudes that bring inner peace.

The third chakra, Maṇipūra, unequivocally symbolizes Arjuna. In yoga philosophy, the awakening of Maṇipūra instils fiery self-control. Despite a fleeting moment of weakness at the sight of his own people on the battlefield, Arjuna remains an embodiment of self-discipline and courage.

Bhīma represents the Anāhata Chakra, located at the heart. When this chakra is awakened, it brings intense feelings that can lead us towards devotion or emotions. Bhīma embodies this intense feeling in everything he does, whether right or wrong.

Yudhiṣṭhira embodies the Viśuddha Chakra, which, when awakened, is believed to bring a profound sense of tranquillity, devotion, and moral integrity, as illustrated in the Mahābhārata.

The  Āgyā/Ājñā chakra, positioned in the centre of the eyebrows, is associated with intuition and insight. It is believed to be the gateway to higher consciousness and spiritual awakening. During meditation, focusing on this chakra is said to facilitate a deep state of tranquillity and inner peace. In Mahābhārata this chakra is symbolized by none but Lord Kṛṣṇa himself, representing wisdom and divine perception.

The ancient game of dice in the Mahābhārata symbolizes the timeless battle between ego and desire, mirroring the internal conflicts we all face in our lives. The game serves as a profound metaphor, illustrating the precarious nature of spiritual growth. It teaches us that even when we have attained a heightened state of awareness, there is always the potential for regression. This spiritual journey demands unwavering strength, resolve, and a resolute spirit, which are essential for the eventual union with the Divine.
