Cover Page
The cover page of the April 2020 issue of Vedanta Sandesh is yet another beautiful creation of God - the Red-billed Leothrix - Leiothrix lutea. This is also called as the Lipstik Bird, because of its reddish bill. This bird is a native of Himalayas. The leiothrix is about six inches in length, generally olive green, and has a yellow throat with orange shading on the breast. The yellow-orange breast and red bill are distinctive. The tail feathers have a peculiar outward curve near the tip. It also has a dull yellowish ring around the eye that extends to the beak. The edges of the wing feathers are brightly colored with yellow, orange, red and black and the forked tail is olive brown and blackish at the tip. The cheeks and side of the neck are a bluish gray color. The female is a lot paler than the male and lacks the red patch on the wings. This bird is very active and an excellent singer but very secretive and difficult to see. Females are somewhat duller than males. This picture was taken by Poojya Guruji Swami Atmanandaji 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
Validation of Hindu Systems
Nothing like Corona has ever been faced by humanity in our recorded hu-
man history. As of Mar’20 end more than seven lakhs of people the world over are infected by this dreaded virus and thousands have already died. As the infection spreads rapidly by close proximity so the most vulnerable people become our nearest & dearest ones. This is shocking. So many families have been made the victim and have got wiped off. It is like a super-bug for which we still do not have any cure. There is no other way except to maintain a more social distance.
Adverse moments, however, reveal the beauty & importance of our various
values & systems moreso the ancient Hindu systems. It is great seeing the world leaders now wisely resorting to Namaste to greet each other. Not only Namaste is more hygienic but the implications are also so profound & respectful. We basically say with our folded hand mudra that the divinity in me pays obeisance to the divinity in you. Whoa, just think of it. What a profound vision this is. We are not only conscious of our fundamental divinity but also look upon everyone with proV edanta Sandes h
found respect. Whatever may be the color or status of the other person, but we as though say that irrespective of the fact whether the other person knows or does not know, they are all the child of the same God, they are my own manifestation.

Ăą
Various problems of the world today emanate from a psyche of inflated self-importance and looking down upon others. This denigratory & fragmentary psyche is ruining the world. Namaste is the answer. The best place to start. Let others start from the hygienic considerations, but sooner or later they will appreciate its philosophical implications too. Resolve to do only Namaste, and we will slowly & surely get back to our roots and also help create a more healthy world.
Not only Namaste, but remember how strict our forefathers were about our
cooking & eating systems. Cooking was regulated and managed by elders with profound considerations of hygiene. I remember the chouka system in our houses. The motivation was hygiene alone. Today we may have different gadgets & cooking systems but the spirit of hygiene needs to be maintained. Even the state of mind & body of the cook was a matter of consideration. What we eat & how we eat, is no small thing, but is of great importance. Eating was there near the rasoi, and we had to take bath, sit in a cleaned place on a pata, and then the thali was served by authorized people alone. Even while serving rotis the thali was not to be touched. Well, one thing is definite - our forefathers were sticklers about hygiene and eating systems. Creativity is the ability to incorporate the fundamental spirit in our new environs. We had to not only wash hands but even feet before & after the food. Why do we need the dreaded Corona to take us back to our roots?
There are many more things which are coming in my mind which revali-
date the importance of our ancient systems but this time will limit myself to these two things. With fundamental respect for our forefathers, we will discover the beauty of many more. Modernity should not imply blind following of the west and rejection of our own systems but should have our own self-respect & identity and show to the world the importance of time-tested Hindu values & systems.

Sadhana Panchakam S adhana Panchakam is the road map by Sri
Adi Shankaracharyaji in our journey of spiritual evolution.
This text is a very crisp, precise, and systematic literature for our spiritual growth. So far we have seen eight sutras covered in the first sloka which begin with getting introduced to the Vedas, performing actions as prescribed in the Vedas, offering all actions at the Feet of the Lord and so on. The first sloka concluded with the sutra that having brought about an intense desire to know the Self, give up attachments to one’s home and family and leave the home to seek knowledge. With this background we now enter the second sloka and take a look at the nineth sutra which is ‘Sangah satsu vidheeyataam’....
lax% lRlq fo/kh;rke~% Seek companionship with men of wisdom. In the last sutra we saw that the seeker who has been living a righteous life, who has invoked devotion at the Feet of the Lord, who has performed actions as a worship towards Ishvara is now inspired to leave all attachments of home and family. To such a seeker the Acharya says seek the company of men V edanta Sandes h
of wisdom who revel in and teach the knowledge of the Truth.
10
ñ
Sadhana Panchakam Thus seek ‘Satsanga’. This is common understanding that we all are as good as the company we keep. If we spend our valuable time in the company of worldly people and worldly goals we will surely get more and more coloured in the shades of the individual ego and seeking, where as, if we come in the company of holy and knowledgable people, people with devotion and righteous values then we too shall get coloured with divine values of devotion, selflessness, and the desire to know the truth of the world and the Self. Thus here the Acharya says-Seek the company of Sadhus, and Saints, of Men of wisdom, of Scriptures and good literature. Go for regular satsangs, spend time in reading good literature, chanting mantras and stotras, in singing the glories of the Lord. Be in all such company where this seed of devotion and knowledge is further nurtured. The blessing of such devotion and satsang is that we start reflecting the gunas or the attributes of our Upasya, our beloved God. We often struggle to get rid of vices, negativity and a distracted mind. Here is the key to it. The negation of something that we consider udesirable and impure is more so possible when we bring to our mind more higher values and ideals. The mind naturally has an inclination and liking for something or the other because the mind can never stay empty. The mind is like a child. If we don’t give V edanta Sandes h
the right guidance then the mind is bound to be attracted to
11
ñ
Sadhana Panchakam all such things which may superficially appear to be enjoyable but in the long run that which will only bring about a downfall. So it is extremely important to give the mind an environment of a divine goal, a divine ideal, and all such holy people and means who will nourish the mind with good values of devotion and knowledge. Once we are inspired and motivated for such ideals then that which is mightier shall win. Good values shall naturally overpower and replace all negative tendencies. So one must aim to have a higher ideal and goal in life. In this context one must also understand that as much as it is important to be in good company it is equally important to stay away from bad company. The world is full of vices which appear to be fascinating and attractive, but one must be alert and aware that all such negative tendencies and superficial worldly pleasures are momentary and only bind us in the shackles of
V edanta Sandes h
samsara. Thus the Acharya says ‘Sangah satsu vidheeyataam’.

Mail from Poojya Guruji Learn to be at home - with yourself Hari om !
Various things are being suggested by our well-wishers to fight the Corona problem. Everyone is suggesting to us from various angles. Keep social distance, maintain strict hygienic conditions, work to increase your immunity by maintaining good health, keep a healthy routine etc.
Let me also give a small suggestion to all my dear readers. In the 11th shloka of the 13th Chapter of Bhagwad Gita, Bhagwan Krishna says “viviktdeshsevitvam aratirjansamsadih” meaning, one should learn to be alone, being at home with yourself, secondly, do not always crave for the company of others. Just imagine if everyone has this particular quality then we won’t know when a three week lockdown shall come & go. Not only this, but such people alone can undertake their subjective journey to awaken to their own truth one day. Our compulsive desire for either some company or even
V edanta Sandes h
preoccupation is more often than not, just an escape. Work or company is never an escape for someone who can be at home with themselves. Incapacity of this reveals that our work is an escape.
14
ñ
So never be a workoholic, take up this challenge to be with yourself, just being what you are, relaxed. Turn this opportunity into a blessing by inculcating such a beautiful quality.
Love & om !

Gita Reflections
T
he Sixteenth Chapter of Srimad Bhagwad-
Geeta reveals two dispositions or qualities of the Mind, the Divine and the Demonic qualities. Disposition of mind is so important in giving a direction to life that Bhagwan calls it the wealth of a person. Although generally a human being is a mixture of both the divine qualities and the demonic ones but every individual predominantly has a personality which is either divine or asuri i.e. demonic. This Chapter gives us a vivid and discriminative explanation of the nature of the divine qualities and the demonic ones as well as the consequences of each one of them. In this sloka Bhagwan says that this wealth of values and convictions in a person, if they are divine they have the power to either redeem a person from the shackles of samsara or if the values are demonic then they can bind a person into samsara. Life of a human being is a play of gunas. These gunas can be those which can bring about the holistic welfare of the Self and others, they can make a person self-centric or they can reflect a dull nature. Every value speaks about the person. Which ever type of gunas a person values the most, will make up for his kind of wealth. For some people money, status, fame and name are the most valuable wealth how so ever they may be achieved, and for others it may be living the principles of honesty, magnanim-
V edanta Sandes h
ity, and sensitivity towards others. In this chapter Sri Krishna gives us a clear understanding of what are the divine qualities in
18
Ăą 18
Gita Reflections life that not only bring about welfare of a person here and now but also open the doors to God-realization and liberaton from Samsara. Divine qualities or Daivi sampatti is the wealth of values in a God-centric person. A person with divine qualities reflects a personality who has faith and devotion towards God. He lives a life of righteousness and acts as an instrument of God in every action he performs. Deligence and dynamism in action, selflessness, honesty, sensitivity to others, magnanimity are the qualities of such a person. When we think about such qualities they are qualities of a mind who has held the hand of God, who is not dependent on achievements outside but believes in the strength within which he is able to invoke because of his devotion for God. Just as Hanumanji who invokes his strength, selflessness, intelligence, deligence all from the love and devotion he feels for Sri Rama. One who sees these divine qualities as the real wealth is a wise man. He can win any battle in life. Having unfolded the wealth of divine qualities Sri Krishna also gives us a list of demonic qualities. These are all the vices of dishonesty, arrogance, hatred, raag-dwesh, all born out of a strong sense of individuality, selfishness and ego. They are not believers in God and believe that they alone are the creators of their own destiny. Bhagwan warns us of such negative qualities which V edanta Sandes h
lead to the continuity of Samsara. As a human being we have the
19
Ăą 19
Gita Reflections freedom to live by divine qualities or the demonic ones, but we all must know the consequences of each of the value structure. We should be aware that lack of knowledge with regards to values in life will make us sorrowful, limited, dependent and itellectually inert. Such is the glory of strong convictions towards values that we can either create a heaven or create a hell for the self and others. As Sri Krishna says that by having divine qualities our values can either lead to liberation from the bondage of samsara or having asuri gunas we can continue to suffer the pangs of bondage in samsara.
Sri Krishna goes on to say, Grieve not, O Arjun, as you
V edanta Sandes h

The Art Of Man Making
V edanta Sandes h
Why Work At All?
P.P. Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji 21
Ăą
The Art of Man Making
I
n the second chapter of Gita, though Kr-
ishna insisted that action should be undertaken, he concluded it with an eloquent picture of the man of perfection rooted in wisdom. Naturally Arjuna opens the third chapter with a pertinent question: O, Janardana! In case according to you, wisdom; is nobler than action, why then, O, Keshava! you force me to engage in this horrible action? In the earlier part of the last chapter, emphasis was on Get up, ready to fight (tasmat uttishtha Kaunteya yuddhaayaa kritanishchaya), while in the later part, the man of wisdom, rooted in his higher consciousness, was extolled as the perfect man. Hence this question. To make it more vivid, the Pandava Prince again asks “You are perplexing my understanding with conflicting theories-tell me the one path by which I can attain the highest (shreyohamaapnuyaat)”. The sanskrit word (shreyas) is often translated as “prosperity”. Though prosperity is nearest english word for shreyas it is a mischievous translation as the term “prosperity” in its connotation cannot stand apart from a suggestion of ones own prosperity at the expense of others. In India from the Vedic times to this date we wish for shreyas which means “prosperity an individual enjoys when all around him prosper”, when the nation progresses. Arjuna wants to know which path he should follow for the total happiness of his generation-as a V edanta Sandes h
reslut of which he too may come to enjoy his share of the general welfare, shreyas.
22
ñ
The Art of Man Making Krishna immediately explains why more than one path is indicated. As a science of self-perfection, Vedanta is to bless all mankind. Men are mainly of two types, 1. (Active and dynamic type), 2. (the intellectual and thoughtful type). For the latter is the path of wisdom Gyan Yoga, and for the former is the path of action, Karma Yoga. These two paths were imparted by me, from the beginning to this world-the path of knowledge for the meditative type and the path of action for the active type of men. Any immature student of Vedanta can easily misunderstand it as a path of actionlessness-of inertia, of stupor, of idleness. The state of actionlessness (naishkarmyam) glorified in our scriptures is not a state of ineffectual slumber, an escape into the caves, a life of passive incompetence within the higher walls of a rich monastery. When a science borrows words from the world, it employs them to express a fresh connotation, a new meaning, an unexpected truth. They are technical terms, and such terms employed in any science we know have a special wealth of meaning. We have already found that when there are Vasanas, there are thoughts in the mind, and they express at the body level in the world around as actions”. If the Vasanas are bad, “thouhV edanta Sandes h
gts” are ignoble, and our “actions” criminal. If Vasanas are less,
23
ñ
The Art of Man Making we can have only less “thoughts” and so less “action”. Therefore, when in an individual Vasanas are all totally eliminated, then “thoughts” are no more-and therefore no more any desire prompted-anxiety-whipped “selfish actions”. This state of actionlessness-because of state of thoughtlessness-due to the state of Vasana-lessness-is defined as the state of pure awareness; the Infinite Reality. This supreme state of peace and perfection is indicated in the Vedas either as the state of No-Vasanas, or the state of No-action. Early students of Vedanta may misunderstand that a “dull state of impotent actionlessness is the state of realization”. So Krishna pointedly says “By non-performance of action none can reach “actionlessness”. By merely giving up action, no one can ever attain perfection. Krishna says : “actionlessness” cannot be reached by not undertaking any activity, nor by “giving up the work already undertaken”. Arjuna is escaping behind the Upanishadic term “Naishkarmyam” and is trying to give up the battle and escape from taking up any more responsibility. This is the trecherous way of all escapists. Then why should we act and get involved in the meaningless, painful, sweating problems around us? Why Act at all, if acV edanta Sandes h
tionlessness be the highest state of perfection?
24
ñ
The Art of Man Making Krishna explains; Nobody can ever remain even for an instant, without performing action; all are compelled to act, helplessly indeed, by the gunas, born of ones own nature. The meaning of the verse seems to be obvious and clear. But it is only on its analysis that we uncover a compelling truth lived all along by everyone of us every hour, all through our lives. Why should we work? Why serve the society? Why undertake great endeavours for the glory of the nation? For the amelioration of human sufferings? Why struggle at all? Let us sit down against the ugliness of life, against the injustices of life, against the exigencies of nature. “Sit-in”, “go-slow”, “strike”, “retire”, “resign”, “lie-in”, “run away”, “desert duty”, “drop out”, - these constitute our modern world’s thoughtless means of reaching profitless peace. They think they have revolted against the “establishment” ....they have done their best, the very best. Alas! They know not the inescapable law of life, that the Creator has not made life to be stagnant. “None can ever remain, even for an instant, without action” ( Na hi kashcht kshanam api jaatu tishthatyakarmakrit). “Nature will goad him, helplessly indeed, to act” (kaaryate hi avashah karma). “Everyone acts according to his own nature”. The quality of actions stemming forth from an individual is orV edanta Sandes h
dered by the type of Vasanas in him. The Vasanas are of three-
25
ñ
The Art of Man Making main types: Sattwic, Rajasic, and Tamasic. These pure, Active and Dull types are Gunas, born out of the matter-vestures (prakriti) in us. Born of Prakriti (prakritirjaihi) are the gunas. Thus in any situation even though we may choose not to act, we will be compelled to act, according to our own inherent Vasanas. The “strike” or “protest”, in whatever form it may express, cannot remain passive: ultimately it has to express itself in a tragic aggresiveness. The mode of its expression depends upon the quality of Vasanas behind us at that time. Life is ever active and positive . Life is never passive and negative. Dynamic expression in action is “life”. When all actions have ended, the organism is “dead”; while living, no organism can ever remain, even for an instant, without activity (na hi kashchit kshanam api jaatu tishthati akarmakrit). Work without, expresses the within in every living organism. All work outside and activities of thoughts within are ended when the organism is dead. To escape work is to escape “life” and run into “death”: it is suicidal. Face life and it’s upheavals around you. Be active and tirelessly dynamic. Each exertion undertaken is a shooting spark of “life” from the existence in you. Fearlessly work. With a clear vision, plan and selflessly execute it. Fear not sweat; hesitate not to face disappointments. Live life, so long as you are alive. Grow
V edanta Sandes h
through work-evolve in work-expand while striving-thus make your own life rich and sweet. You can! You must!

Jivanmukta I
nstead of trying to prove this with arguments, I
shall quote a conversation with a Mahatma I met in a lovely region in the Himalayas. His words born of practical experience carry greater conviction than Vedic dogmas or logical reasoning. I: Swamiji, have you seen or heard of Yogis who have been able to remain in samadhi for long? Swamiji: In these days hatha yogis and raj yogis are very rare. It was not so some time back. There were then several yogis of the kind in the northern regions. One of them I knew very well. He was a Sadhu. He could sit for five or six hours at a stretch quite easily without breathing or letting the mind wander. I: A holy man indeed! Swamiji: Don’t jump to conclusions before you hear the whole story. In fact, he was a very unholy sort of man. I: What do you mean? How could that be? Swamiji: He could indeed, still his breath and mind at will as a result of long training; but he never enjoyed the peace of mind, nor
V edanta Sandes h
ever possessed the knowledge or even the thought of the Self. I: Alas! Is it possible that so great a Yogi should have no inclina-
28
Ăą 28
Jivanmukta tion for spiritual life or the necessary competence for it? Swamiji: How could he have? He never had the spirit of detachment, not even a desire for salvation. He hankered after wealth and worldly pleasure. He treaded on his yogic feats. Before wealthy people he would exhibit his skill of sitting still for hours like a granite statue and get from them money and certificates as his reward. Men of real learning and detachment used to feel sorry for his misbehaviour. All learned people admit that the paramount duty of a sannyasi is the uninterrupted practise of spiritual discipline, which
V edanta Sandes h
alone leads to liberation.

STORY Section 30

Trishanku I
t was in the lineage of Purukutsa that Sat-
yavrata or the well known Trishanku was born. The latter kidnapped a Commoner bride from her Vivaha-Vedika or Wedding Platform and his father, King Traiyaaruni-as prompted by Sage Vasishtha the Guru of the King, banished him for life into his Kingdom; while living in the outskirts of the Kingdom Satyavrata adopted the ways of a Chandala or the lowest caste of the Society. Sage Vishwamitra once left away on a long Tapasya for a period of twelve years and as a long drawn ‘Anavrishti’ (famine) broke up in the Region, Satyavrata provided food to the Sage’s wife and children. But the latter stole Vasishtha’s cows in his Yagna Shaala and fed Vishwamitra’s wife and family with cow meat and the unsuspecting family ate it especially due to hunger. Yet, on return from his Tapasya, Vishwamitra was extremely pleased and felt highly obliged that Satyavrata supported his family for twelwe long years! But Vasishtha never excused Satyavrata on three counts: he adopted the ways of Chandala ; he stole the cows from his Ashram and finally he fed cow meat to the innocent and gullible family of a fellow Sage. Thus he cursed Satyavrata as Trishanku on the basis of three unpardonable sins especially to Brahmana families! He cursed V edanta Sandes h
Satyavata to become a fulfledged Chandala thus transforming

ñ 31
his body complexion and ways of living. But Vishwamitra espoused the cause of Satyavrata; he not only restored the latter’s original position as a Prince but also sought him to despatch him in his mortal form to Swarga by the power of his Tapasya. Devas refused the Prince’s entry to Swarga and the Sage took it as a challenge and created a duplicate Swarga in the outer space near the original and thus caused the Prince to hang him upside down creating Trishanku Swarga of the thrice-sinned
