Cover Page

The cover page of the May 2020 issue of Vedanta Sandesh is yet another beautiful creation of God - the Great Barbet - Psilopogon virens. The Great Barbet is an awesome, very beautiful, multi-colored, rainbow type bird. A joy to watch. It is native to the Indian sub-continent and other nearby countries, where it inhabits forests up to the altitude of 9-10 thousand ft. It has a blue head, a large yellow bill, brown and green-streaked body, belly and a red vent. The plumage is green. It is the largest barbet species with a body length of 32–35 cm. It is sluggish and shy; tends to stick to the dense forest canopy, where it is difficult to see. This picture was taken by Poojya Swamini Samatanandaji at Sattal in Uttarakhand, India in Feb 2020. Glory be to God who has created this amazing creation. Om Namah Shivaya.

Message from Poojya Guruji

Increasing Immunity

We all are in the midst of an unimaginable pandemic, or as the PM calls it

almost a Third World War. Everyone is doing their best. Not only the policy makers but even a common man on the streets. When we face an unknown enemy endowed with an unimagiable destructive power, the first natural response is to humbly take a step back. Confine the masses into the safety of their homes, create whatever infra-structure which is required to fight the menace and help the sick people, and also patiently wait for the scientific community to find the cure and also a vaccine. Others have been wondering as to how did it all start? From where did this deadly virus suddenly come from?

Many theories and postulations are being presented. There are the acci-

dental theory, which states that some intern in the Wuhan Institute of Virology got accidently infected in his institute and then unknowingly passed it on to his friend and then to the Wet Market in Wuhan and then it went on & on. Others postulate that China keeps working & experimenting on Biological warfare tools and this Corona was part of their research. They developed it and then it spread accident-

V edanta Sandes h

ly or deliberately. I read an article which said that the Chinese developed it to mass exterminate the adamant people of Hong Kong who were not falling in line. Could be all imagination, but when the dragon is so brutal, ambitious and also

7

Ăą


secretive then no one can stop such imaginations. Wont be surprised if it was a fact. However, we will explore another angle also.

Viruses are nothing new. There are hundreds of them everywhere and mu-

tation keeps the new strains from surfacing. If there are viruses then we have our immunity too. People will lower immunity get infected soon, and so also people with diseases like Diabetes etc which also lowers their immunity. So while working to better the things outside we need to keep working on increasing our immunity. Our gut has 7 to 8 hundred bacterias and in fact our gut is the responsible for our immunity. The moment the number of bacteria falls to around 400 then we start getting infected soon. Just as our gut and its diverse bacterias are responsible for our personal immunity, so also on the macro level, the bio-diversity is responsible to keep the overall health of the planet in order. Slowly this bio-diversity and the eco-system of the planet is getting negatively affected. Many species are on the verge of extinction and serious concerns have been raised about the overall health of the planet. Many people do not respect the delicate bio-diversity and the so called Wet Markets in China are said to be places where they sell almost every kind of living being in living condition for people to choose and buy. The cramped condition of so many species, their ill-health, stressed minds overall reduces their immunity too. These various species have a role to play to keep the overall balance & health of our eco-system. Imagine the consequence when the ones who were supposed to handle some viruses themselves get diseased then the viruses indeed get a field day to even mutate to present more deadly strains. This is not an imagination but simply extending the facts which we know and experience at micro level to the macro level. Bio-diversity is like the gut of the world to keep up the immunity. We need to do something about it urgently. Pep up the immunity at all levels - both the individual level as well as the planet level.

Sadhana Panchakam

Sadhana Panchakam I n the last edition we commenced our study on

the second sloka of Sadhana Panchakam and took up the first sopaana of the sloka which was ‘Sangaha satsu vidheeyataam’. In this sopaana the Acharya suggested that if we wish to evolve spiritually then we must keep the company of righteous people, of saints and sadhus and possibly be connected with your Sadguru the guiding light of your life. This is called as ‘Satsanga’ the company of people and knowledge which helps us to evolve on the path of the spiritual truth. Having suggested this the Acharya now goes on to say that by being in the company of

Sadhus, Saints, Sadguru and Spiritual literature one must work to invoke deeper devotion to the Lord. Thus the Acharya says-

Hkxorks HkfDrn`Z<+k··/kh;rke~% Be established in firm devotion to the Lord. Bhakti is love for God, but with a different spirit as compared to what we understand of love in worldly life. First of all ‘love’ as an emotion is natural to all human beings and even animals and birds. As an emotion love is not taught to anyone. It is a natural expression of the mind. All human beings have so

V edanta Sandes h

many people, relationships, experiences and things which come

10

ñ


Sadhana Panchakam to become the focus of our love. Yet the implication of love in a spiritually ignorant and worldly person is far different than that expressed in a devotee of Lord. When we are bound by the chains of samsara or seeking we love so many people and things but our love for a person is based on various conditions. I love some one when he or she fulfills all my individual desires and when he or she nourishes and satisfies my individual ego. If in any condition this fails to happen then our love and emotions go for a toss and we part ways. Not only this I begin a new journey of looking for someone else who can pamper my likes and dislikes. Thus love amongst worldly people is more than often conditional and individual centric. Bhakti or Devotion on the other hand is unconditional love for God and is also accompanied with reverence towards God as we see him as the compassionate creator and sustainer of this universe. In a true sense of devotion we love God for the sake of love and not because God is instrumental in fulfilling my desires. Irrespective of what we are blessed with we have devotion towards the Lord and surrender unto him unconditionally. Often people who have faith in the existence of God, understand the value of devotion unto Him but often feel helpless as they fail to invoke the unconditional love and devotion towards Ishvara. In such a case one must understand that love for someV edanta Sandes h

one flows when we know the beauty and value of that person or

11

Ăą


Sadhana Panchakam thing. We cannot love somebody out of blind faith or because someone has told us to do so. Such love will not last long. This is what most of the devotees experience. We are ignorant about Ishvara, his glories, our connection with Him and His role in our life. Thus our devotion stands only on our faith. We need to be aware of the knowledge that Ishvara is the omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient Divinity. The world is so beautiful and functions in such perfect harmony. This shows that there has to be some Divine entity who is all powerful and all knowledgable. Ishvara is the creator, sustainer and destroyer of this universe. We all are born of him, we are a part of him and He is the compassionate one who is constantly blessing us with life energy and all the worldly things for our existence. He is blessing us with sunlight, with rains, with food, He is pumping our hearts, He is digesting our food, and so on, the list is endless. He is the one who is giving us the fruits of our actions. The entire cosmos functions in total harmony with the blessings of Ishvara. When one gains the knowledge of such divine attributes of Ishvara and sees these attributes first hand, whole heartedly, then how can one not feel love, reverance and devotion towards the Almighty. The Acharya says gain the knowledge of Ishvara and be established in firm devotion towards him. In fact aim to be one with the Lord. Ultimately the scripures reveal that the Jiva is not seperate from Ishvara. Tattvamasi thunder the VeV edanta Sandes h

das. But begin this divine journey by surrender and devotion.

12

Ăą


Sadhana Panchakam Once a sadhaka invokes such reverance and Bhakti for the Lord then every momemnt of his life will become a worship. Worship is not just our prayers and rituals in a temple but true devotion is that which is expressed in every moment, in every action, in every response and ultimately in the desire to know Ishvara and become one with Him. Thus sing the glories of God in

V edanta Sandes h

pure, unconditional and firm devotion towards the Lord.

Mail from Poojya Guruji Lockdown is an Emergency Hari om !

Lockdown is a preventive emergency measure, specially when the enemy is unknown. However, as we start becoming aware of the enemy then it has to be faced intelligently.

During lockdown we not only make people conscious of the terrible consequences of this terrible monster, but also in the process prepare ourselves at all levels to deal with the consequences. This not only includes the medical facilities, but also appropriate cures and vaccines. Life has to go on. Long term lockdowns are counter-productive. Any problem if it lingers has to be ultimately accepted as a fact of life and we need to make the people understand not only the consequence but also ways & means of handling the situation. It is just like any facility like electricity, road, gas etc. We cant keep the people locked down because it few things can be potential killers, but enlighten the people about it and also the ways &

V edanta Sandes h

means of handling it. People cant be imagined to be stupid. There will indeed be some stupid people who will die, which anyway they do inspite of being in confinement. Why should the intelligent and

15

Ăą


wise be made to suffer just becomes few are stupid. That is natures way of removing the trash.

I am sure that the leaders of the country and its scientific fraternity are wise and caring people and will soon take a wise decision which reveals their confidence in the wisdom of people.

Action without attachment Swamini Samatananda

V edanta Sandes h

Oh Arjuna! Just as ignorant people act with attachment to action, a wise man also should act without attachment, with a desire to maintain the harmony of the society.

Gita Reflections

T

his sloka from chapter 3 comes as a word

of advice for the Wise Men or one can say it comes as an example setting for all those unwise who have not yet discovered the right attitude in the field of Action or Karma. Sri Krishna in this sloka gives a remarkable vision of seeing a half glass full even in a man of no wisdom by taking inspiration from the intensity of attachment with which he performs action. Here he says that just as an ignorant man performs actions with intense attachment for self-centric desires so also a man of wisdom must perform action with the same intensity but not for the Self, they should perform actions for the welfare of others. A man of Self-Realization has come to see his own self as a source of fulfillment and therefore there is nothing for him to be accomplished or achieved. He has resolved his endless desire of seeking contentment from the world outside by discovering his very own nature of contentment and joy. Yet action is the insignia of life. It must express itself through all those beings who are throbbing with life and energy. Thus even a man well established in the state of contentment does perform action. However, there is a fundamental difference in the attitude of performing action in a wise man and a man of ignorance. This V edanta Sandes h

attitude is the subject of discussion here in this sloka.

19

Ăą 19


Gita Reflections Here Sri Krishna sees Arjuna inspired by the goal of Self-Realization, and thus gives this piece of advice enveloping in it all Men of wisdom. Bhagwan says-A worldly seeker who has not realized the true nature of the Self performs actions with a high degree of attachment to achieve his self-centric goals. He takes off with a strong desire and attachment to fulfill his goals, bubbling with enthusiasm, dynamism, and deligence criss-crossing all hurdles and speed breakers coming his way. His enthusiasm is not dampened even though his journey is seasoned with anxiety and stress due to his own attachment to the goal, and the burden of his own sense of doership. Bhagwan says that a Man of perfection must also perform actions with the same intense zeal, deligence and perfection but here it is needless to say that a Wise Man will do so, not for the fulfillment of the Self but for the welfare and happiness of the world around him. He is contented by himself and within himself and thus there is nothing in the world left for him to be accomploshed for the sake of self-gratification. At the same time there is no compulsion either for a man of Self-Realization to perform actions either. Yet, being sensitive to all living beings, He may chose to do so out of his own freedom. Sri Krishna himself sets an example. There is nothing in the world that can fulfill the Lord as he himself is an embodiment of fulfillment, yet we see him adorn various roles like that of a cowherd, of an ambasV edanta Sandes h

sador, and now of a charioteer, all for the goodness of others.

20

Ăą 20


Gita Reflections This is the fundamental difference in attitude of a samsaari and a man of self-realization. The Actions of a knowledgable man are an expression of his inner joy and contentment where as the actions of a worldly soul are for the sake of joy from outside. One performs as an “expression of Ananda” and the other

V edanta Sandes h

other performs “for Ananda”.

The Art Of Man Making

V edanta Sandes h

Work We All Must

P.P. Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji 22

Ăą


The Art of Man Making

W

e have already found that no one can

remain without action even for an instant; nature will prompt us, with compelling force, to act. Therefore, as human beings in our present state of evolution, we have, it seems, no choice at all between a life of action and a life of inaction. Work We must. The only choice available to us is in determining “How� to act. We can either act to the detriment of our selves and for the disaster of all around-or we can act to bless ourselves, and for bringing at least a ray of smile on the faces of all others around us in the world. To the undynamic and the stupid a life of least activity and maximum revelry would seem most attractive. This wrong tendency at the national level spells ruin, and even a total annhilation, of that nation. Members of the community must ever be on their toes to act, to work, to strive and to achieve-then alone can they reach rich success productive prosperity, a valid existence and a rewarding progress. When everyone employs his ingenuity to publicise his least contribution to the national endeavour, and to claim at the same time maximum comforts-that community starts slipping down

V edanta Sandes h

the slopes to disaster, to disintegration, and finally to despair. Work We Must. There is no choice. Wheather we be on the

23

Ăą


The Art of Man Making lowest rung of the social ladder or on the top most. Be we the governers or the governed, be we the higher or the lower class-everyone of us must work. And it is of no avail to avoid it-because; “nature will assert and make you work: you are helpless in this� (kaaryate hyavashah karma sarvah prakritirajirgunaihi). Action is the insignia of life in an organism. So long as we live and breathe in our bodies, we have to act and work, which is the final expression of life in its grossest form. So then we must now try to understand how best we may work. In order to drive home the ideal way of life the Lord describes the true worker and despicable type of hypocrites. He who refuses to work with his limbs but sits brooding over the sense objects of pleasure in his mind, the deluded fool is called a hypocrite . Krishna echoes the conclusions arrived at by the greatest thinkers of all times. Mental immorality and indulgence bring about more dissipations of our vital energies than our physical immorality and sensuousness. One may claim to be morally good, honest, truthful etc. But if one is mentally entertaining immoral thoughts, dishonest motives, false pretences etc., the personality dynamism in such an individual sinks low. And soon he who might have been a person marked for success slowly and steadily sinks into incompetence and failures, all results of his inner dissipation.

V edanta Sandes h

Here Krishna talks about the social parasite who does no service

24

Ăą


The Art of Man Making to society- such a deluded fool (vimoodhaatma) Krishna calls a “hypocrite” (mithyachaarah) because he is one who sits with his mind roaming in sense-objects. (manasa indriyaarthaan smaranaaste). And as a contrast the Lord paints a picture of the intelligent man who lives the ideal life of higher values: but who controlling the senses of the mind, unattached, employs his organs of action in karma yoga, “service of all”, he, Oh! Arjuna indeed excells. The sense organs can be controlled only with the mind. The mind running out through the sense organs becomes our powers of perception and our inner ideas. Vasanas in us determine wheather we get involved with the perceptions or not. The world of objects has no power over us. In fact, it is our “fancy for things” that reflects from them as their “powers to tempt us”. At a show window the women’s wear cannot tempt a man, nor will a woman be tempted with a shirt or a tie! Temptation for an object is only our own reaction to it. A man who has thus re-eductaed his values orders his sense activities by his re- adjusted his mind and comes to live a calm life, a master of the outer world, no more tossed about by the fluctuating environments. Such a man must thereafter employ V edanta Sandes h

his organs of action to work with dedication for the sewa of

25

ñ


The Art of Man Making the world around him. He must work in the world with a mind “unattached” (anasaktah) this word is often used in the BhagwadGeeta, and unless we understand its full import, we are apt to misunderstand the entire philosophy of the Geeta. Attachment we all have to many things in life: “I am attached to my mother, wife, children, work, property, etc”. What do we mean “attached to your wife”? What is attachment? Certainly it is not merely physical-you and your wife are not physically grafted to each other like the siamese twins... when we say we are attached to our dog, we only mean our mental attachment. When ever I have a strong feeling of “want” for any being or thing, there is attachment. The intensity of attachment is always directly proportional to the intensity of the demand; “I want”. Here there are two factors “I”, the ego, and “want”, the desire to possess and enjoy. Thus ego and ego-centric desires together constitue “attachment”. Therefore, when Krishna says that a man of self-control who has tamed his sense-organs through his mind, served the world “unattached”-it means serving the world “without ego and ego-centric desires and lusts”. Such an individual excells-because for him the work field-serves as a theatre for the exhausV edanta Sandes h

tion for the existing Vasanas, without creating any new ones.

26

ñ


The Art of Man Making The ego and ego-centric desires in us generate Vasanas, and when actions are undertaken without “attachment�- meaning, without ego and ego centric desires-the existing Vasanas get exhausted and no new Vasanas are created. This pergation of Vasanas brings peace and calmness into the bosom. A peaceful mind is not only more creative and irresistable in the material world of success, but it is again the vehicle to reach us into an ampler world of full awareness-of a larger state of conscious-

Jivanmukta Wandering In Himalayas

87 Pashupathinath

V edanta Sandes h

(The Cobra of Worldly Concerns)

Excerpts from the Travel Memoirs of Param Poojya 28 Swami Tapovanji Maharaj

Ăą


Jivanmukta H

aving learned this truth about the

need for spiritual discipline, from Mahatmas and Shastras, I have been passing my days in the forests of Rishikesh, seeking to fulfill my duty. It was only two years since I left home and became a Sannyasin when one day I met an old aquaintance Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati at Rishikesh. He was then the Sri Shankaracharya of Sharda Monastery in Dwarka. He had come to Rishikesh to participate in a celebration. On seeing me clothed in saffron robes, living on alms and leading a solitary life, his face was, for a moment, clouded with sorrow. But in a moment he overcame his fragility and congratulated me on my acceptance of sannyasa. The next two or three days I passed in his company. In the course of our conversation I mentioned my desire to go to Kathmandu to participate in the famous Shivaratri festival at the famous holy temple of Pashupatinath. He too had not visited Pashupatinath and wanted to go. He said he would soon be ready to start for Nepal with his retinue and that we could travel together. Early in February, 1925, with the blessings of Sannyasins and friends, I set out on an auspicious day on foot. At Haridwar I was joined by Sri Shankaracharyaji, and we then travelled by train. At first I was unwilling to leave the Holy Ganga, who appears to V edanta Sandes h

me to be the manifestation of the supreme Godess. On her banks my days passed like moments-in Vedantic thought and in acts of

29

Ăą 29


Jivanmukta devotion and meditation. The pain of seperation was however, lightened by the present prospect of rambling among the Himalayas. Swamiji’s company also promised to make the pilgrimage all the more pleasant. But that was not to be. On the very day of our start we were obliged to part. Meeting is only a prelude to parting, but the sudden seperation filled me with sadness. A multiplicity of worldly concerns binds a Sanyassin as much as a householder. Except, in a life of retirement, free of worldly affairs, how can we expect a taste of liberty? Under the illusion that freedom and happiness are found in riches and possession, people waste their lives in the vigorous persuites of these shadowy phantoms. Taking a poisonous cobra for a garland of flowers, they lift it up and place it eagerly around their necks. Previously I had known Swami Satyananda Saraswati as an ascetic without posessions and titles. Subsequently he had been raised willingly or unwillingly, to the position of Shankaracharya. His new status, title, wealth, and power, which necessarily pertained to such a position, made him a slave to it. Then he was called off elsewhere to attand other duties. Before he departed, however, he pressed me to accept some money from him, as a penniless journey to Nepal was likely to cause me many hardships. I thankfully declined to accept the proffered

V edanta Sandes h

help and resumed my journey by train.

STORY Section 31

ñ 31


Sri Nageshwara T

he Shiva Purana says Nageshvara Jyotir-

linga is in ‘the Darukavana’, which is an ancient name of a forest in India. ‘Darukavana’ finds mention in Indian epics, such as Kamyakavana, Dvaitavana, Dandakavana. A narrative in the Shiva Purana about the Nageshvara Jyotirlinga tells of a demon named Daaruka, who attacked a Shiva devotee named Supriya and imprisoned him along with many others in his city of Darukavana, a city under the sea inhabited by sea snakes and demons. At the urgent exhortations of Supriya, the prisoners started to chant the holy mantra of Shiva and immediately thereafter Lord Shiva appeared and the demon was vanquished, later residing there in the form of a Jyotirlinga. The demon had a wife, a demoness named Daaruki who worshipped Mata Parvati. As a result of her penance and devotion, Mata Parvati enabled her to master the forest where she performed her devotions, and renamed the forest ‘Darukavana’ in her honour. Wherever Daaruki went the forest followed her. In order to save the demons of Darukavana from the punishment of the gods, Daaruka summoned up the power Parvati had given her. She then moved the entire forest into the sea V edanta Sandes h

where they continued their campaign against the hermits, kid-

ñ 32


napping people and keeping them confined in their new lair under the sea, which was how that great Shiva devotee, Supriya, had wound up there. The arrival of Supriya caused a revolution. He set up a lingam and made the prisoners recite the mantra Om Namaha Shivay in honour of Shiva while he prayed to the lingam. The demons’ response to the chanting was to attempt to kill Supriya, though they were thwarted when Shiva appeared and handed him a divine weapon that saved his life. Daaruki and the demons were defeated and Parvati saved the remaining demons. The lingam that Supriya had set up was called Nagesha; it is the tenth lingam. Shiva once again assumed the form of a Jyotirlinga with the name Nageshwar, while the Goddess Parvati was known as Nageshwari. Lord Shiva then announced that he

V edanta Sandes h

would show the correct path to those who would worship him.
