  • Excessive Attachment to Body makes us averse to Good Qualities - Prabhatha Rashmih | Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha

    In this track, Poojya Swamiji warns seekers against having excessive attachment to the body. Our body is completely grown by the age of 21. After that, the qualities which are to be developed by us are only in the inner personality. We can develop them till the end of our life.

    We are born in this world to imbibe good qualities, to be amiable and to be benevolent. Any good quality will make one dear to the others. One will be happy and contented in the hands of good qualities and the others around will also be happy to see our good qualities.
    Shlokas chanted in the Track:
    क्षणे क्षणे यन्नवतामुपैति तदेव रूपं रमणीयतायाः ॥

  • Mental Transformation through Poetry - Prabhatha Rashmih | Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha

    How is it that in ancient India, almost all treatises, whether in the field of science, mathematics, medicine, or literature, even dictionaries, were composed in poetry? Swamiji explains the benefits of reading poetry, how it re-organizes the mind and instills the qualities we want. One may not have the qualities initially, but chanting the poetry produces the joy equal to the attainment. Isn’t it a wonderful vehicle for transformation?
