ananyaashchintayanto maam ye janaahaa paryupaasate | teshaam nityaabhiyuktaanaam yogakshemam vahaamyaham || (Bhagawadgita 9th Canto sloka # 22) What an assurance from the Supreme God! that, He would take care of the welfare (Yoga-Keshma) of His devotees. But a condition that, they should have ANANYA BHAKTI/CHINTANA towards HIM. >What is Ananya Bhakti? Ananya means 'no' anya,   single minded devotion (emphasis on Ananya Bhakti), exclusive devotion towards the Supreme God who is Hari Sarvottama; For such people the Supreme God;   one and the only Reality,   the One Who has saved Ambarish, Draupadi, Gajendra, Prahlada etc. etc. is giving an assurance, openly proclaiming that, He would take care of their welfare (Yoga/Kshema); in a supreme spiritual sense the liberation; Ananya Bhakti = No Anya Bhakti = Only Hari Bhakti =   Hari Sarvottama through   Vaayu Jeevottama (Hanuma/Bheema/Madhva)   through Gururaajo Vijayate...

MAUNA VRATHA - Significance

Image
What is Mauna Vratha? What is its significance? What are its benefits? Literally Mauna Vratha means a vow to keep silent, remain mute, not speaking etc.  It could be for a determined period of time say, one month either whole day or from Sunrise to Sunset or for few hours in a day. During Mauna Vratha one should avoid making gestures, watching TV, attending mobiles, sending messages, reading news papers and magazines etc. One can offer silent prayer to God. In Bhagawadgita (sloka # 16 of 17th Canto) Sraddhatraya-Vibhaga-Yoga, Lord Sri Krishna speaks of silence and says that, 1. Manah-Prasadah (serenity of mind/thought);   2. Saumyatvam (good-heartedness/gentleness/amiable temperament); 3. Maunam (silence); 4. Aatma-vinigrahah (self-control/restraint of the self);   5. Bhaava-Samsuddhih (purity of nature/purpose); are the five noble values of life together called the "mental austerity or Tapas (penance) of the mind where, 1 & 2 are preconditions for achi...

Essence of worship - Pathram - Pushpam - Phalam - Thoyam...

Stressing on the significance for sincerity, purity of mind and devotion in worship, Lord Sri Krishna says in Bhagawadgeeta (9th canto sloka # 26) Patram pushpam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati tad aham bhakty-upahritam ashnami prayatatmanah That means whoever offers Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water, that I accept, offered with pure-mind and devotion. In these Houses-of-God, it is not intricacies of their design, elaborateness of the ritual, nor the splendour of gold and wealth exhibited, nor even the number of devotees attending, that contribute to their essential success. Ultimately it is the sincerity and devotion (bhakti) that counts in divine worship. The very language and diction of the above stanza clearly sound the note that the material objects that one might offer are of no value to the Lord of the Universe, but it is the devotion and love that prompt the offerings that are accepted by the Deity. Be it "a leaf, a flower, a fruit, ...

कर्मणयेवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन। मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि।    (Thy right is to work only, but never to its fruits, let not the fruit of action be thy motive, nor let thy attachment be to inaction...) Geeta Saar – The philosophy of Bhagawadgita Bhagawadgita is a hand book of instructions on the art of living.  It is called Jeevana Dharma Yoga Saasthra.  Geeta Saastra is intended to remove the cause of Samsara such as grief and delusion. It is the right understanding of the immortal culture of Vedas and Upanishads. It contains the essence of Hindu Philosophy and culture. It is not merely a text book of Hinduism; but a bible of humanity. It is a practical handbook of instructions to the man on how to live nobly and grow out of his instinctive weaknesses. It says that running away from life is not the way to reach the highest goal of evolution. Mere spirituality without material exertion and secular achievement will not m...
