SRILA BHAKTI SIDDHANTA SARASWATI GOSWAMI'S DISCIPLE CAME BACK FROM YAMAPURI-Hell

SRILA BHAKTI SIDDHANTA SARASWATI GOSWAMI'S DISCIPLE CAME BACK FROM YAMAPURI-Hell This is an incident which happened in the 1930s. There was a disciple of Srila Prabhupada Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur who got initiated in 1933. He was from Guwahati, Assam. He followed all the principles of devotion and chanted Harinaam on the chanting beads given to him by Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur disappeared from this world on 1st January 1937. After the disappearance of Srila Prabhupada, the disciple started to deteriorate in his devotional practices until he got engaged in anti-devotional activities of consuming meat. It was his downfall that he even stopped chanting Harinaam. But laws of karma had some other plan for him that within a few years he had fallen sick and died. As per Hindu-Indian tradition, the dead body is burnt in the cremation ground. Hence, the body of this person was also lying in the cremation ground within the wooden logs which were supposed to be set to fire. Suddenly the dead man came to life and started shouting his beloved Gurudev's name "Prabhupada! Prabhupada! Prabhupada!". People present there were astonished to see this unnatural incident and started to flock away thinking him to be the ghost. He went to his home immediately and told his family that is renouncing from the material life to serve his Gurudev's words. Life after death had changed him completely. He shared his amazing experience of life after death. He shared his story as follows. When he died he saw two gigantic and horrifying figures (YAMADUTAS) who came and took him away from this world to another unknown world - YAMAPURI. On the way to YAMAPURI, he felt thirsty because the way to YAMAPURI was deserted and with the scorching sun on his head. When he asked for water from YAMADUTAS, then they showed him a pond to quench his thirst. But when he went near to the pond then he found it full of vomit, blood, and pus. On complaining to them that how could he ever drink such filthy things, they replied that he can get only vomit to drink on his way to YAMAPURI and nothing else due to his past karmas. Feeling depressed he moved on with them to YAMAPURI.

After reaching YAMAPURI, he was made to stand in a queue where Chitragupta, the assistant of YAMARAJ, was opening the accounts of karmas for all standing in the queue. He was horrified to see that every other person standing in before him were immediately sent to hell by Chitragupta upon seeing their accounts. At last, when it was his turn, he was sent to YAMARAJ as a special case. He was astonished. When he was brought to YAMARAJ, the devata of death, asked him if had performed any good deed in his life ever which he could recollect. He answered that he got initiated from Srila Prabhupada. Upon hearing Srila Prabhupada's name YAMARAJ closed His eyes and remembered Srila Prabhupada and the most amazing thing happened that Srila Prabhupada appeared in YAMAPURI even for such a disciple who had betrayed Him by not following His instructions. YAMARAJ asked Srila Prabhupada for the next course of action to be taken for His disciple. Before answering to YAMARAJ, Srila Prabhupada directly chastised His disciple for ignoring Harinaam and getting involved with anti-devotional activities of consuming restricted things. Upon hearing Srila Prabhupada's chastisement, he asked for forgiveness. His Grace Srila Prabhupada showed mercy to his disciple upon asking forgiveness and ordered him to go back to earth and again accept Harinaam from His beloved disciple Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhav Goswami Maharajji in Kolkata. As soon as Srila Prabhupada asked to take re-initiation, he came didn't remember what happened after that and he got up in cremation ground shouting Prabhupada! Prabhupada! Prabhupada!. After that, he renounced his worldly life and immediately went to Kolkata to see Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhav Goswami Maharaj Ji, a Godbrother to A. C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Founder Aacharya of ISKCON, who at that time was in vanaprastha stage of life. So he went to Kolkata for accepting Harinaam from Bhakti Dayita Madhava Goswami. When he went into the room where Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhav Goswami Maharaj Ji was present and started to narrate his story of life after death, Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhav Goswami Maharaj Ji stopped him from narration saying that He was already aware of what had happened and gave Him Harinaam mala(chanting beads) to chant. He stayed in the math after that and kept chanting Harinaam always for 8 years until he again left this world.

We have seen so many insurance policies in this world but such an insurance policy of saving a fallen soul from hell is not possible for anyone to provide. This incident proves the eternity of Guru's relationship with His disciple and His boundless mercy upon his disciples. Does this story ring a bell in our life of what we are supposed to be doing in contrast to what our engagements are in our daily life? Guru can show the path and mercy but a disciple has to follow His instructions to chant Harinaam and stay away from anti-devotional activities to save himself/herself from hell. - Excerpt from a lecture given by a Vaishnav at Sri Chaitanya Gaudiya math in Sri Jagganath Puri on the holy disappearance day of Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhav Goswami Maharaj Ji 15 Feb 2018.(translated from Bengali)

What is Hindu Philosophy and its Importance?

What is Hindu Philosophy and its Importance?

The term “Hindu philosophy” as standing for the collection of philosophical views that share a textual connection to certain core Hindu religious texts (the Vedas), and they do not identify “Hindu philosophy” with a particular comprehensive philosophical doctrine. Hindus believe in the doctrines of samsara (the continuous cycle of life, death, and reincarnation) and karma (the universal law of cause and effect). One of the key thoughts of Hinduism is “atman,” or the belief in soul. This philosophy holds that living creatures have a soul, and they’re all part of the supreme soul.

History of Hindu Philosophy

In total, Hindu philosophy has made a sizable contribution to the history of Indian philosophy and its role has been far from static: Hindu philosophy was influenced by Buddhist and Jain philosophies, and in turn Hindu philosophy influenced Buddhist philosophy in India in its later stages. In recent times, Hindu philosophy evolved into what some scholars call “Neo-Hinduism,” which can be understood as an Indian response to the perceived sectarianism and scientism of the West. Hindu philosophy thus has a long history, stretching back from the second millennia B.C.E. to the present. Hinduism, major world religion originating on the Indian subcontinent and comprising several and varied systems of philosophy, belief, and ritual.

Why Hindu Philosophy is important?

Hindu philosophy also includes several sub-schools of theistic philosophies that integrate ideas from two or more of the six orthodox philosophies, such as the realism of the Nyaya, the naturalism of the Vaisesika, the dualism of the Sankhya, the non-dualism and knowledge of Self as essential to liberation of Advaita, the self-discipline of Yoga and the asceticism and elements of theistic ideas. Examples of such schools include Pasupata Saiva, Saiva siddhanta, Pratyabhijna, Rasesvara and Vaisnava. Some sub-schools share Tantric ideas with those found in some Buddhist traditions. The ideas of these sub-schools are found in the Puranas and Agamas.

Today "Lakshman Geeta" Lakshman resolved Nishad's grief with all three fidelities. 1- "काहु ना कोउ सुख दुख कर दाता।" It means, no one can give happiness or misery to anyone. Why? "निजकृत कर्म भोग सब भ्राता॥" No matter how winding way one gets the fruit, but only that person who has done deeds will get the fruit. "अवश्यमेव भोक्तव्यं कृतं कर्म शुभ अशुभम्" If egoism is not there, if the ego of the deeds goes away, then the person can be saved from his current deeds(Kriyanman), if salvation is achieved then the accumulated deeds(Sanchit) can be avoided, but destiny(Prarabdha) cannot be avoided, destiny will have to be suffered. The arrow mounted on the bow is Kriyanman, the arrows placed in the quiver are Sanchit, but the arrow which has moved from the bow is Prarabdha, how to stop it? What is the fault of Kaikeyi mother? Shri Ram himself has come to the forest. Dasharath has become an token to give boons, Kaikeyi has become an token to inspire him, Manthara has been made an token to provoke her, Saraswati has become an token to change the mind, but who inspired Saraswati? Shri Ram himself. Thus Lakshman kept the path of deeds(Karma). 2- Now he is explaining the path of consciousness- Like if a king becomes a beggar in a dream, or a beggar becomes a king. There is neither profit nor loss for those who wake up from a dream. This is the way of the world. This whole visible world is not a reality, it is also just a dream. 3- Finally, the third path, all this which is going on, is God's play, there is no reason for sorrow. Here the king is not a king, the beggar is not a beggar, happy is not happy, sad is not sad, everyone is playing his character in God's play. What is visible is all drama. For the good of devotees, earth, saints, virtues and devine powers, God plays the Leela. Thus merciful God, wears a human body, and erases the illusions of the hearer.

All the way back in history, the familiar Renunciate appearance of the early Harappan bull horned deity, leads to Adinath Rishabhadeva of the Jains: tells His story of breaking the Kalpavriksha, removing people off Hedonism, setting and teaching a life of Yamas and Niyamas, so that liberation may be achieved. Thus, He removes the Dukha that is inertial Samsara, and points towards the eternal that is Anantha, and is thus Sarvadukhavimochini of the fifth Avarana. In setting ethics He is the artist. The native region to the Jain faith is West India, in Gujarat and Rajasthan. These regions contrasting contain sections of forests, deserts, salt marsh and hills, along with the boisterous Tapi river - not places one would associate with normal daily life. These places such as Palitana or Mount Abu, were apt for monks to adopt the Nivritti Marga, one of austerity and penance, to stay away from mainstream society, to finish their course of Karma, and proceed further. The Harsh desert climate giving rise to recluse abodes of penance denotes Advising and living example of how to conquer worldly pursuits through Dharma. It is due to this same Advisor of Wisdom that Rishabha is revered as Nandi by the Siddhanta tradition, the name itself translating to the bliss which one gets by removing sorrow. The bull ploughs and sets the path following which the seeds will be sown, and for this reason, the bull symbol denotes the Pattern setting artist. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Mx8V-hz4p/?igshid=i7za4c9qcqs

Babaji becomes Boganathar’s discipleAt the age of eleven, along with a group of scholar ascetics from Banaras, young Nagaraj made an arduous journey on foot and partly by boat to the sacred shrine of Kathirgamam. The famous sacred temple at Kathirgamam in southern most tip of the Sri Lanka is a Shanmuga shrine, which is most revered place of worship for Hindus and Buddhists, and off late to Muslims. Centuries ago Gowthama Buddha took a long pilgrimage to the above shrine. This temple established by Siddha Boganathar contains no carved image of God. The Siddha Boganathar had only installed a Mystic-Yantra (Geometrical symbol) carved into gold plate, representing within its form and mantra syllables, a crystallization of great deity Shanmuga. Siddha Boganathar imparted the mystic power of this Yantra for the benefit of all those who seek the blessings of lord Shanmuga. Down through the centuries Kathirgamam has been the scene of miracles to millions. The Kathirgamam shrine is deep inside the forest, beside the river Manika Ganga. From a very long time Saints, Sages and Siddhas of yore practiced severe austerities and one can imagine how the place would be filled with their vibrations. Babaji Nagaraj met the Great Siddha Boganathar and became his disciple. Boganathar was the grandson of famous immortal Siddha Thirumoolar. After initiation from Boganathar, Nagaraj performed intensive yoga sadhanas, particularly various “dhyana kriyas” under Bogar’s guidance. The penance was done for long period without a break and gradually intensified. On looking at the devotion and dedication at which Babaji Nagaraj performed the penance, Bogar also further initiated his sincere disciple into more advanced kriyas. His consciousness expanded and Babaji Nagaraj realized the divinity within him. His consciousness merged in the cosmic spirit. The Samadhi experiences gradually deepened over the months and climaxed with a vision of Lord Kumaraswamy or Shanmuga. Babaji realized that he was incarnating the consciousness of Lord Shanmuga. Under Boganathar’s guidance, Babaji delved into the mysteries of the ten systems of sanathana philosophy to understand and appreciate the full significance of Siddhanta of the Siddhas.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc1sm2yrDQ4In Spiritual journey which begins from an initiation, always there arises a doubt in the minds of the seeker that am I eligible for an Initiation?

Your astrologer will follow a calendar based on constellation with the moon in the center to predict your future. It is because as said the moon governs the human mind and emotions.

 2. Western Astrology: Western astrology unlike its Indian counterpart revolves around the Sun's movement. Western astrology follows Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos. This type of astrology stands for 13 zodiacal constellations. In addition to the 12 zodiac signs, Ophiuchus is a sign too in Western astrology.

 3. Tropical Astrology: When you predict a person's future based on the location of the Earth from the Sun and other planets, it is tropical astrology.

 4. Arab and Persian Astrology:

According to Arab astrology, each man or woman are born with 12 weapons at the time of their birth. These weapons come in three sets each consisting of four weapons. They help an individual to fight over the drawbacks in their life. However, a weapon cannot decide our destiny in advance. On the other hand, you can so change your destiny and grow by changing weapons during your lifetime.

Vedic Astrology | Third Eyes Astro

Vedic Astrology | Third Eyes Astro

Vedic Astrology or Jyotish(a sanskrit word) is the traditional system of Hindu Astrology and also known as Hindu Astrology. It is an ancient Indian science which explains the motions of the planets(planetery motions) and their positions with respect to the time and also explains their effects on the human beings and other things on the earth. Hindu Astrology is an English word which was used from since 19th century, whereas Vedic Astrology is a recent word commonly used from since 1970s with self help publications on Ayurveda or Yoga. Vedanga Jyotish is one of the ancient texts about astronomy within the Vedas. The ancient vedic astrology was based on only the movements of planets with respect to the stars but later zodiac signs were included in it. According to the Vedic astrology there are 27 constellations made up for the 12 zodiac signs, 9 planets and 12 houses with each house and planet representing come aspect of Human life span. The visual representation of the zodiac signs and planets is called a horroscope chart.

History and Mythology about Vedic Astrology Jyotish is one of the six auxillary principle used to prepare the calanders to determine dates for sacrificial rituals. Astrology is bacically based on the Graha which means the planets, Rigveda is the origin of the Hindu Vedic Astrology. The Rigveda mentions an eclipse causing demon Svarbhanu, the word planet(Graha) was not applied to Svarbhanu until the later Mahabharata(final war of Kuruchetra) and Ramayana. Hindu Astrology is the connection b/w the microcosm and the macrocosms. Hndu astrology mainly consists 12 zodiac symbols. There are some several sub - systems of interpretation and predictions which are not found in the Hellenistic atrology(basically known as Western astrology) like as lunar mansions(Naksatra). It was only after the transmission of Hellenistic astrology thet the sequence of the planets in India was fixed in that of the week. Hellenistic astrology or astronomy also transmitted the 12 zodiacal symbols begining with Aries and the 12 astrological places begining with the ascendant. Ancient Hindu literature explains lots of astrological rules, on the basis of zodiac signs, constellations(Nakshatras) and planets. The popular opinion is that our ancient seers used the mythology to solve the complex physical laws which were beyond the comprehension of common peoples. The modern science is not able to understand the mythology and the physical laws behind this ancient method. Our modern understanding of the science of astrology lies with probability and statics. Statistics is the branch of mathematics which deals with the correlation b/w two or more independent events without knowing the actual cause of the correlation.

Modern Hindu Astrology Astrology is an important facet of folk belief in the lives of many Hindus. In Hindu culture the names of the newborns are traditionally named on the basis of their Jyotish charts. Many Hindus believes that the planets have an influent throughout the life of an Human being and these influences are the "fruit of Karma" it is aslo believed that these planets can influence earthy life.

Difference b/w Vedic astrology and Western Astrology The most easiest difference between the both is that two lies in between the method of measurement of the Zodiac. Vedic astrology basically uses the sidereal zodiac, in which stars are considered as fixed background against the motion of the planets whereas in the western astrology tropical zoidac are used  in which motion of the planets is measured against the position of the Sun. The difference becomes noticeable only over time after the course of several centuries, as a result of the precession. Synchronically the both methods(systems) are identical with just a little shift of the origin of the ecliptic longitude by about approx 22 degrees or days. The placement of planets in previous signs in Western charts is about 80% of the time.

Famous Indian Vedic Astrologer

I welcome you to the world of Jyotisha, the ancient astrological science of India—a world in which a magnificent order in the cosmos is revealed, and where free will and the law of action and reaction combine to weave a web of individual destiny present at birth and “written in the stars.”

More commonly known in the west as “Vedic Astrology,” this form of astrology is entirely based on a spiritual point of view. Succinctly stated, this view is that your soul is moving along an evolutionary pathway through a series of reincarnations, each determined by your thoughts and actions in prior lives. The fruits of your past actions are your “karma,” and this is what your astrological birth chart reveals. The emphasis therefore in Vedic astrology is on understanding your soul’s karma in this lifetime.

Vedic astrology originally comes to us from the Rig Veda, the oldest of the four Vedas, the spiritual Bible of ancient India. The Vedas were an oral tradition passed down from family to family, generation to generation. These works contain the spiritual teachings of Hinduism. Much later in their history the Vedas were put in a written form, and so it is with Jyotisha as well. We also find astrological references abound in the great oral Epics of India, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, particularly in the most famous portion of the Mahabharata, the Bhagavad-Gita. Such ancient works as the Vedanta Jyotish and the Surya Siddhanta shed further light on both the astronomy and astrology of ancient India.

In the spiritual tradition of ancient India, astrology is considered a sacred science. The Sanskrit word Jyotisha means “Science of Light,” as it is this science that sheds light on the fruits of your past actions. By revealing to you the state of your soul, it can serve as a guiding light in your life and ultimately light the way out of the illusory world of forms and back to the Divine.

On re-initiations and compromised Guru’s standards

[5:06 PM, 9/11/2018] Gaura Keshava Das SP: Someone asked this question: [5:06 PM, 9/11/2018] Gaura Keshava Das SP: Jay Sriman Narayan, dear swamiji, pranams, according to sastra when the spiritual master brake his sannyas vows and engage in sensual contact with women against their will, and manifest an adharmic behavior what happened with the diksha mantras and upavitam? Does a disciple needs to take initiation again in those mantras from another guru? What about his own sannyas disciples? Does they to need to retake sannyas? Thank you 🙏 Namaskaram

My answer:

There is only one reason why someone will take Vaisnava diksha and mantras again after taking it once already according to sastra:

avaiṣṇavopadiṣṭena mantreṇa niyama vrajet purnas ca vidhinā saṁyag grāhayed vaiṣṇavād guroḥ Hari Bhakti Vilāsa 4.366 (from Nārada Pañcarātra)

"One who is initiated in the chanting of a mantra by a non-Vaiṣṇava must suffer in hell. Therefore, such a person should be initiated again according to the rituals by a Vaiṣṇava guru."

Different people make different interpretations of what it means to be a Vaisnava guru. However in the same book Hari Bhakti Vilasa Vaisnava is simply a  person who himself has taken diksha from a Vaisnava and who worships Lord Visnu. The disciples mantra is not effected by any actions of a Vaisnava guru after diksha. It is the disciple that has to chant and meditate on the mantra. Therefore in my opinion there is no sastric rule to do anything except if one needs siksha take shelter of appropriate siksha guru(s).

Some people suggest that an immoral or doctrinally wrong Vaisnava guru is to be considered as a non-Vaisnava. I don't agree. He can be considered a fallen or neophyte Vaisnava but how is a fallen or doctrinally off Vaisnava considered a non-Vaisnava. In Hari Bhakti Vilasa when the positive simple definition of Vaisnava is made also non-Vaisnavas are also defined. The definitions are Buddhists, Atheists, Jains, etc. So it is pretty clear that in context none of these people are non-Vaisnavas.

There is a common misunderstanding in ISKCON that re-initiation either Vaisnava or Sannyasa is an option. I don't agree. Show anywhere in sastra where it is suggested? There isn't anywhere. The ONLY sloka that deals with taking a mantra again is the one I just quoted and it is pretty simple. Of course if one wants to interpret non-Vaisnava to mean anyone who acts or says something not accepted by oneself that is their business. But if we make the definition of Vaisnava so specfic then how do we know when approaching a guru to take diksha whether he is a Vaisnava or not? If secretly he is fallen even within his mind or heart and this is considered to make him a non-Vaisnava then how can anyone judge a bonafide guru?  The simple straight forward meaning of the sloka is to be taken unless someone can give other sastric evidence in context of this quote. I have done that above and I can cite the definition of Vaisnava and non-Vaisnava in HBV if needed. Other people just give their opinions but where is the sastric explanation of their ideas? There aren't any.

Brahma Muhurta: Thank you for this. The only thing I was wondering about on this subject was when the guru has given but hasn’t attained Siddhi in the mantra. But, say for instance they have attained Siddhi and then have some sort of fall down later after giving the mantra. The mantra Siddhi/purascarana has been attained by the guru and been given accordingly it can retroactively be pulled back. Now the disciple is a caretaker of the mantra. It seems to limit the ability of the mantra to live if it is retroactively “de-activated”

GKdas: Mantras have inherent power. Naturally one might search for a siddha or person perfected in the mantra one wants to take mantra diksha from. However whether the guru is a siddha of the mantra or not, the sisya still has to himself practice the mantra and become siddha. The idea that some sisyas mantra can be deactivated by something a guru does or does not do, I've never heard before. If there is any sastra pramana for this I don't know of it.

There is a common pramana amongst Gaudiyas:

avaiṣṇava-mukhodgīrṇaṁ pūtaṁ hari-kathāmṛtam śravaṇaṁ naiva kartavyaṁ sarpocchiṣṭaṁ yathā payaḥ

"One should not hear anything about Kṛṣṇa from a non-Vaiṣṇava. Milk touched by the lips of a serpent has poisonous effects" Quoted in Hari Bhakti Vilasa from Padma Purana

Note the words hari-kathāmṛtam means "talks about Hari" and certainly one should not hear the words of Advaitins or others who give wrong siddhanta about the Lord. Mantras are not specifically stated. However Mantrārtha or the meaning of mantras should not be heard from Advaitins or others with wrong siddhanta. This is sometimes quoted by people as a reason not to hear a mantra from anyone but a siddha in that mantra. However in Gaudiya Vaisnavism the system is Hari Nama Sankirtana. Or Congregational chanting of the name of Hari i.e. Krsna. We have to ask if the chanting is supposed to be congregational, then does this mean one has to only chant with siddhas? The fact is that Caitanya mahaprabhu took the chanting to the streets of towns and villages of India and spread it amongst people who were not siddhas of the mantra. So did Ramanuja spread the mantra from the top of the Gopuram to all and sundry not just siddhas. They wanted everyone to take up the chanting and meaning of the mantras. They wanted people to become siddhas of these mantras. But no one was restricted by them from spreading these mantras on the plea of not being siddhas of them.

The Narayana Upanisad clearly states om namo narayanayeti mantropasakah vaikuntha bhuvana lokam gamisyati. The worshiper of om namo narayanaya mantra will go to Vaikuntha. The mantra has this power. It never says that only the hearer of this mantra from a siddha will go to Vaikuntha.

BMdas: What exactly do you mean by "say for instance they have attained Siddhi and then have some sort of fall down later after giving the mantra. The mantra Siddhi/purascarana has been attained by the guru and been given accordingly it can retroactively be pulled back."The guru does not give mantra siddhi. As you mentioned the system of purascarana or purascarya is for the sisya to perform to attain mantra siddhi. So if gurus gave mantra siddhi then why would the sastra have these systems of purascarana or purascarya? What I mean is that the guru attains Siddhi through purascarana then gives mantra to his or her sisya. After this happens the guru has a fall down. Now of course the sisya needs to attain perfection in the mantra themselves,but the acts of the guru don’t retroactively affect the mantra. It was given and now the actions of the guru should not affect the mantra. The sisya can still go forward with their sadhana and perform purascarana of the mantra.

GKdas: In Sri Vaisnavism both guru & sisya are prapannas. Surrendered to the Lord. Therefore whether they perform actions to gain mantra siddhi or not doesn't really matter. However for others who are followers of paths of individual efforts (non-prapatti paths like bhakti, karma or jnana yogas) they perform mantra sadhana (purascarana) to attain the perfection of the mantra (siddhi).

BMdas: [6:04 PM, 9/11/2018] Brahma Muhurta Das Ji: Sorry there was a typo. What I meant was it CANT be retroactively deactivated. [6:05 PM, 9/11/2018] Brahma Muhurta Das Ji: If mantra is given at one point it is given. It isn’t like an elastic rope that snaps back up the sampradaya if there is a problem later on if the mantra was actually given. [6:06 PM, 9/11/2018] Brahma Muhurta Das Ji: I completely agree with you Swami thank you for sharing all of this.

GKdas: All mantras are active according to mantra sastra. They have inherent power. Like wood has potential power but needs to be set on fire to release it. Similarly the mantras have inherent power but we need to know the meanings and practice the sadhanas with the mantras to get benefits. An example. A guru teaches a Vedic mantra with proper pronunciation of varna, svara, etc. The sisya learns it. Later the guru forgets it. This has no effect on the sisya.

[6:11 PM, 9/11/2018] Gaura Keshava Das SP: Another example. One dvija takes upanayanam and is initiated in to the chanting of gayatri mantra. He later performs upanayanam for someone else and gives that sisya (son?) gayatri mantra. The guru (father) might give up the chanting of the mantra later on. But still this doesn't effect the sisya (son?) who is still chanting the mantra. The dharmas sastras (see Manu Samhita) give prayascittas for a person whose chanting of gayatri has lapsed for different lengths of time. But they never state that this persons' sisyas or sons also have to perform a lapse by the father or guru. People have to perform prayascitta for their own acts of commission or ommission. Not for others mistakes. [7:01 PM, 9/11/2018] Gaura Keshava Das SP: If people are interested we can discuss Hari Bhakti Vilasa 17th vilasa which is purascarana or purascarya attaining the perfection of a mantra.

Question by Neil:

Dandavats to all. Regarding the guru and disciple topic, I believe you were discussing primarily the mantra given by the guru to the sishya. But isn’t the relationship much more than that? For example, there are discussions of the imparting of ‘dead’ mantras because of the proper siksha isn’t given along with diksha, then what is the point? What is the potency behind a mantra? Isn’t it to have the proper conception (siddhanta) of the mantra, rather than just the mantra alone? Certainly the mantras are powerful in and of themselves as the maha mantra for example is directly Krishna Himself. Yet so many unauthorized camps chant the maha mantra. Like all the apa sampradayas, sahajiyas, etc. and we see those misconceptions have entered into Vaishnav institutions as well. In other words, if one was to receive diksha from say a ‘Vaishnava’ who has regular illicit relations as a part of their sadhana, clearly such a person is not a Vaishnava by their achar. Shouldn’t such disciple seek out a real guru to receive the mantra and the proper conception of the mantra elsewhere? That last bit was simply a gross random example, but improper conception and/or practice, behavior, etc. disqualify one from being able to impart a mantra? If I’m a guru for the name, fame, profit, adoration and distinction — if I’m a guru for material reasons and I cling to many philosophical misconceptions in spite of others trying to properly guide me. Wouldn’t mantra and siddhanta given by such a guru be useless if not detrimental? And thus necessitate proper diksha, which may appear to be re-initiation? Also, going back to the first post in this regard, if one’s diksha is still valid in the case of an errant guru, wouldn’t one be obligated to continue to worship said guru, chanting his pranam mantra and other associated mantras when one does their puja, etc.? Like for a disciple of Bhavananda or Kirtanananda, what to do? Also, I would like to hear the definitions of Vaishnava & non-Vaishnava from Hari Bhakti Vilasa as well as to discuss the 17th Vilasa. Thank you for this discussion 🙏🏻

GKdas: Regarding your ideas. I have already quoted two slokas from Hari Bhakti Vilasa explaining this.First I quoted a slokas saying that if one receives a mantra from a non-Vaisnava guru he should again get it with full (vidhina) rituals from a Vaisnava guru. Then I quoted a sloka that hearing the topics of Hari from non-Vaisnavas causes poisonous effects.I said that in context in HBV a non-Vaisnava is someone like an Atheist or Buddhist. And it does not refer to someone who might have a lapse in behavior like Tondaradipodi Alwar who fell prey to a prostitute or to one devotee of Lord Venkatesvara who gambled with the Lord, or to the Pandavas who drank wine, gambled and may have also eaten meat.I will now quote the simple definition of who is a Vaisnava from HBV which is the context for the quote about not taking mantra diksha twice if one has taken it from a Vaisnava guru. You yourself have accepted that mantras have inherent power. So unless you have some sastra pramana that shows that the power of a mantra is completely negated by the giver of that mantra not being a perfect siddha then your idea cannot be accepted. I am not saying that one should not try to find a perfect mantra guru who is a siddha of that mantra. I'm just saying that the mantra has some inherent power and the sisya has to practice it no matter what the siddha or not of the guru. Some mistake by the guru cannot totally negate the inherent power of the mantra. Otherwise if we say that the power of the mantra is only coming from the guru and not anything from the mantra itself we don't find this idea given in sastra. So if you have any sastra pramana to quote to back up your idea then please present it. Otherwise I will give the simple definition of Vaisnava and non-Vaisnava given in HBV in the context of the pramanas I have already given on taking mantra upadesha.

Sri Vaisnavas continue to chant the Tanian (pranam mantra) of Tondaradipodi Alwar despite the fact that he was victimized by a prostitute. Lord Ranganatha even arranged to pay the prostitutes fee for his Vaisnava devotee. He is one of the greatest devotees. His being victimized by a prostitute doesn't change our honoring him for his deep devotion to the Lord. You ask would a person continue to praise his guru if his guru acted in such a bad way. I think I have just answered that above. The guru is always to be honored. If he makes some mistake then still we have to honor him for giving us the mantra (and correct upadesha). We do not honor any bad behavior or bad upadesha that he might do or give. Therefore we have to be grateful for what he has given which is in line with sastra and sampradaya. But we also have to discriminate as to what might be wrong behavior and\or upadesha. Ramanuja honored his first guru Yadava Prakasha even though he wanted to kill Ramanuja. He did challenge the bad upadesha of his guru in a respectful way.

gṛhīta viṣṇu dīkṣāko viṣṇu pūjā paro naraḥ vaiṣṇavo'bhihito'bhijñair itarosmād avaiṣṇavaḥ

"One who is initiated into the chanting Visnu mantras and is engaged in the worship of Lord Visnu is called a Vaisnava. Those who do contrary to this are non-Vaisnavas." Hari Bhakti Vilasa 1.55

jaiminiḥ sugataś caiva nāstiko nagna eva ca kapilaś cākṣapādaś ca ṣaḍ ete hetu-vādinaḥ

etan matānusāreṇa vartante ye narādhāmāḥ te hetu-vādinaḥ proktās tebhyas tantraṁ na dāpayed

"Jaimini, Sugata, Nāstikas, Kapila and Akṣapāda (Gautama) are mental speculators. Those fallen souls who spend their lives under the guidance of these philosophers are counted as mental speculators. A guru should not give instructions about the worship of the supreme Lord to such people." Hayaśīrṣa Pañcarātra

Naturally such persons will not be Vaisnava gurus or sisyas. They are non-Vaisnavas.

There are some other slokas giving qualities of non-gurus (aguru lakṣanam). But they mostly are details. I will post them for completeness.

BMdas: Thank you for sharing this. Even if the Guru is not perfect, the sisya is still indebted to him/her for what good things they have been given. Namely the mantra

GKdas: Yes, and any mantrartha or meaning of the mantra also. Or any other good example or instruction. Note that Ramanuja had one guru Mahapurna who gave him the mantra, and another guru from whom he learned some inner meanings of the mantra, Gosthi Purna. It is not that a guru who only gives the mantra and not the mantrartha is honored less.

GKdas: bahvāśi dīrgha sūtrī ca viṣayādiṣu lolupaḥ hetuvāda rato duṣṭo avāg-vādī guṇa nindakaḥaromā bahu-romā ca ninditāśrama sevakaḥ kāla-danto'sitauṣṭhaś ca durgandhi śvāsa vāhakaḥduṣṭa lakṣaṇa sampanno yadyapi svayam īśvaraḥ bahu pratigrahāsakta ācāryaḥ śrī kṣayāvahaḥ"If a person accept a guru who eats voraciously, who is lazy, who is greedy for acquiring material objects, who is fond of arguing against the śāstras, who is mischievous, who is happy to expose others sinful activities, who is a blasphemer, who have no hair or too much hair on his body, who lives in a condemned state or āśrama, whose complexion is black, has black teeth, who is very cunning, who accepts a great deal of charity even though he does not require it,  then all his good fortune and opulence will become exhausted." Tattva Sāgara

[3:31 PM, 9/12/2018] Gaura Keshava Das SP: There are also many descriptions of the detailed qualifications of gurus. But we cannot say that a guru without one of these details isn't a guru. Some gurus are not expert in Vedas, Yantras, Mantras, Yagas. [3:34 PM, 9/12/2018] Gaura Keshava Das SP: Many in and around ISKCON are very very interested in analyzing the qualifications of gurus. They do not sometimes consider if they themselves are qualified sisyas.

There are 104 rules mentioned from Viṣṇu Yāmala that Gauḍiya Vaiṣṇavas sisyas are supposed to follow listed in Hari Bhakti Vilāsa 2.149-162

BMdas: Exactly we’ll put. It starts to become a thing of looking for the faults in the guru in order to flat out reject him in order to have an excuse to basically be ungrateful for anything that the guru did do. That mood won’t move well into the other aspects of a sadhakas practice

Gkdas: Gurus and Sannyasis also are like white cloths. People see any small dark spot. Whereas a black or dirty cloth one cannot see small spots. Sri Vaisnavas are lucky that the Lord and acharyas accept us as prapannas without any qualifications. 🙂

E mail ID: anjulatabams@gmail.com INTRODUCTION Beauty is a subject of Socio-medical importance. The importance of Beauty and Personality is increasing now a day as it is a competitive era. Everyone wants to stand at height and they require a distinct Personality which differs them from a crowd. The increased demand for beautification is evident by a number of Beauty contests, Beauty centres, various cosmetic items like creams, lotions, powder, etc. Ayurveda is not only the science of medicines, but it is the science of the life and such all the facts of life are dealt with in Ayurveda. The Cosmetic approach in Ayurveda is related to the healthy status of the body as well as a mind. More precisely, it can be said that physical, mental and spiritual Beauty as a combined unit projects the Cosmetic sense of Ayurveda. The description available in Ayurvedic texts in context of beauty can be mainly categorized into two divisions as – Factors contributing towards Beauty Factors improving Beauty Factors Contributing towards Beauty The Role of Dhatu in Physical Beauty Skin is called the cream of Rasa, but actually Rasa, Rakta and Mamsa Dhatus have to be in good condition to produce beautiful skin. Good digestion and correct selection of food determines health of Rasa Dhatu. Mineral rich food and a good supply of Oxygen and lack of toxins in the blood determined the health of Rakta Dhatu. Clean, well-nourished blood and regular exercise support the health of Mamsa Dhatu. Thus diet, digestion, air and exercise can be seen to be important in the healthy condition of the skin. Examining the Upadhatus and Malas can also prove useful in finding which of the Dhatu needs attention. Let’s take an example: Nails. The condition of Asthi Dhatu determines the condition of the nails in that mineral rich food that nourishes bone tissue also produces gleaming teeth and strong nails. Yet, as Asthi Dhatu is supported by other Dhatus; problem in the nails can reflect problems in Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa or Meda Dhatu- those that support Asthi Dhatu. This explains how nails can be examined to determine the internal state of the body. For example, vertical ridges on the nails show malabsorption, a problem in Rasa Dhatu. As regards other aspects of physical Beauty, strong Majja Dhatu produces strong glossy hair- a commonly accepted sign of good health. And, the product of Shukra Dhatu that is the glow of vitality, Ojas is dependent on the health of all the tissues in the body which is why we can say that internal health is essential for radiant Beauty. The Importance of Mala Ayurveda strongly stresses that elimination of wastes is important for the health and Beauty of the body. Keeping the tissues cleansed of wastes and facilitating their regular elimination through normal channels is the key to freshness and vitality. Only a clean body can be at its peak and utilize the nutrients it receives, likewise, only an open mind free to enjoy the world. The Importance of Agni Unique to Ayurveda is the concept of Agni. It is Agni that has the power to digest food well, making all nutrients available to the tissues. It also cleans toxins and excess waste from the systems. Keeping the digestive tract cleans and the outer body fresh and glowing. So, of course, strong, healthy and balanced Agni is necessary to keep the body and mind balanced and beautiful. Guidelines for Balancing Agni To improve Agni Eat smaller meals. Sip lime or lemon water or ginger tea. Take a pinch of Trikatu before meals. Take a pinch of a fresh ginger root that has been chopped finely and mixed with a little salt before a meal. Chewing is very important. Chew your food until it is at least liquidly before you swallow. Sip warm water with your meals. Agni can also be improved by fasting and herbal medications. Find a constructive way to release anger, frustration, etc. Factors Improving Beauty Role of Dinacharya As cosmetic approach of the Ayurveda is related to a healthy state of the body and mind, the Beauty and health both are given equally importance in Ayurveda. Only a healthy person looks beautiful. Therefore, in the texts of Ayurveda all the remedies prescribed or described are for the both perspective health as well as Beauty. For that in daily routine, some procedures are included which keep the person fit or healthy and young for a long time. The procedures also increase Beauty of hair, skin, eyes, etc., which are the organs having a great cosmetic Value. They delay the old age too. It shows how the people were conscious to look young and beautiful during that period. This daily routine is mentioned under the heading of ‘Dinacharya’ by almost all the Acharayas. Inside ‘Dinacharya’ following procedures are included : (Ch.Su.5) Anjana Karma For vision of the eyes. Dhoompana Increases strength of hair, skull, sense organs and voice. Nasya Face becomes cheerful and well developed, old age will be delayed. Dantadhavana For the health and Beauty of the teeth. Taila Gandusha Strength of Jaws, Development of face, prevents lip cracking, strengthen the teeth. Shiro Abhyanga Prevent alopecia, graying of hair, hair fall. Hair becomes firm rooted, long and black. Sense organs become cheerful. Face with pleasant glow. Abhyanga Body becomes firm, smooth skinned, charming and least affected by old age. Pada Abhyanga Health and Beauty of foot and sole. Snana Good promoter of Ojas. Wearing clean clothes and ornaments enhance charms, prosperity and produces happiness. Cutting of hair, beard, moustache, nail etc. along with hair dressing are nutritive and promoter of life’s beautification. There is also an indication about the use of umbrella alleviates natural calamities, guards against the sun, wind, dust and rains. Role of Ritucharya Likewise ‘Dinacharya’, the description of ‘Ritucharya’ is also given in almost all the Ayurvedic texts for the purpose of maintaining the health as well as Beauty. ‘Ritusandhi’ is the particular stage when many environmental changes are occurring and it affects public health. Therefore, ancient Acharyas have mentioned special routines which have to be followed during a particular season. In cold season (Hemanta and Sishira) the local application of Agaru paste is described to protect the skin against excessive cold. During Sishira one should avoid pungent, bitter, astringent, light, cold and Vata increasing foods and drinks. During Spring one should use a paste of Sandal and Agaru on the body and diet mainly consisting of barley and wheat. In particular summer season the Sun, with his rays, draws up excessively the moisture of the nature, hence, in that season sweet, cold, liquid and fatty foods and drinks are beneficial.  One should take sleep in a cool room during the day and on the top of the mansion with abundant air and cooled with moon rays during night, having pasted Sandal on one body. One adorned with pearls and gems. During summer, one should resort to forests, cold water and flowers. In this way, the Aahara and Vihara mentioned for the protection from excessive cold and heat during that season show carefulness and awareness about Beauty and health.
