  • 040 - Vivekachoodamani - Verses 103 to 107 - Ego & chidabhasa, negation of ego & Self is Love
    Talk 40 verse 104-107
    These verses are sadhanas to reduce the doership of the jiva by developing witness attitude. By enquiry into the temporary nature and identification with external world these verses use logic and experience to prove that the nature of Atman is bliss. The sadhak is urged to surrender the ego by asserting and loving unconditionally the true nature of the Self to liberate him from the cycle of birth and death.

  • 028 of 108 Names of Lord Shiva : Lalatakshaha - Who has a Third Eye on the Forehead
    Lalaata – forehead. Aksha - eye. One who has an eye on his
    forehead . Lord Shiva has a fiery eye on his forehead. It is the
    Jnana-Chakshu or eye of intuition. It is also the Aagna Chakra in
    Yoga. World is dissolved when Lord Shiva opens the third eye.
    Eyes are meant to see and symbolise vision. Self in me is Self in
    all. One experiences samadhi when one transcends the
    worldliness. One sees the Self clearly.
    It is also the seat of visualisation and concentration. 2 points –
    heart or the third eye are prescribed by the scriptures to focus
    upon during meditation.
    It helps the seeker also to go from form to formless. Great Yogis
    focus on the third eye and eject out of the body consciously at the
    time of death.
    Through sadhana we can awaken the third eye in us.

  • 027.2 of 108 Names of Lord Shiva : Gangadharaha - Part 2 - One who holds Mother Ganga
    Gangaji is a great purifier. Swami Chinmayanandaji explains why
    is she considered as a great purifier? How does Ganga-snan
    purify us? She is a river of tradition, of spiritual wisdom. Even a
    little of this spiritual knowledge and wisdom if one drinks and
    assimilates, it will transform the person and take one beyond cycle
    of birth and death.
    Gangaji is a symbol of Bhakti, Jnana and Seva. Our ego can rise
    when we engage in any of these three. Lord Shiva humbling the
    pride of Gangaji by trapping her is symbolic of the Lord humbling
    us through various life experiences.
    Knowledge of the Self is not comprehensible. It cannot be
    grasped by the body, mind and intellect. This is the meaning of
    Gangaji flowing in Akash. A lot of hard work is required to
    purify the mind and discover this. This is Bhagirath prayatna.
    She was received by Lord Shiva who represents a mind who
    lives in austerity, simplicity. If we cultivate such a mind, we also
    can become Gangadharaha.
    We must ensure we protect Mother Ganga. Protecting her is to
    protect our culture, to protect lives of millions of people, to protect
    bhakti, jnana & shraddha. Bhaarat is unimaginable without
    Gangaji. There is a threat that she will become extinct in the next
    50 years. We must ensure we do not pollute her. To purify
    ourselves, we cannot make Gangaji impure. So it is our
    responsibility to ensure she remains purest.

  • 037 - Vivekachoodamani - Verses 89 to 92 - Gross body stages and properties and sense organs
    Talk 37 verse 89-92
    These verses bring out the importance for the jiva to develop detachment and dispassion towards the sense enjoyments for realizing the Self. The verses elaborate on the six modifications that the body goes through. The seeker is encouraged to recognise and maximize the potential of the sense organs as receptors of knowledge primarily.

  • 027.1 of 108 Names of Lord Shiva : Gangadharaha - Part 1 - One who holds Mother Ganga
    Gangaadharaha: One who holds gangā in his hair knots. This
    story is narrated in detail in Vālmiki Rāmāyana , Shivapurāna ,
    Mahābhārata , Devi bhāgavatha upapurāna etc. King Sagar’s
    children were burnt to ashes by a great rishi for their misconduct.
    Only Ganga’s water could liberate them. Many tried to get
    Ganga to flow on the earth in King Sagar’s dynasty. Finally it was
    Bhageeratha who was successful. Bhageeratha did penance to
    bring Gangā to earth from heavan to liberate his dead ancestors.
    Bhageeratha did tapas for a very long time to please Brahma the
    creator. He instructed him to please goddess Gangā. Again
    Bhageeratha worshipped Gangā through his penance for a long
    time. Ganga appeared before him. She accepted to descent to
    earth but she warned Bhageeratha that the whole earth may be
    destroyed by her flow and force when falling from heaven.
    No one is capable of bearing me in all the three worlds except the
    greatest of the lords, the blue necked one, Maheshwara.
    Bhageeratha pleases Lord Shiva who then agrees to receive
    Ganga. He also humbles the pride of Ganga and finally lets out a
    streak of Ganga from his matted locks and the ancestors of
    Bhageeratha are liberated. We also discuss the Vedantic
    symbolism of the story.

  • 026.2 of 108 Names of Lord Shiva : Andhakaasura Sudanaha - Part 2 - Destroyer of Andhaka
    When Andhaka attacked Lord Shiva, he was routed by the Lord
    and His ganas. Andhaka had to run for his life. Lord Shiva
    wanted to do more penance and so kept Viraka with Mother
    Parvati to protect her. Andhaka regrouped and attacked. Many
    ganas died and Viraka was buried under a huge pile of weapons.
    He could not get up. Andhaka was about to enter Mother
    Parvati’s cave. She invoked all the female powers of all the Gods
    – Brahmani, Narayani, Indrani, Vinayaki etc. All of them were
    armed with various weapons and were charged up. They fought
    fiercely. Andhaka’s commander Gila was a huge one but
    Andhaka lost. As the battle was going on, Lord Shiva arrived.
    This boosted the confidence of all the devis. Lord Shiva praised
    Mother Parvati and other devis for their courage and bravery.
    Parvati thanked Viraka and all the devis. Andhaka came with
    Vidhasa and attacked Lord Shiva. All devatas were invoked by
    Lord Shiva. A terrible battle ensued. All the devatas were
    swallowed by Vidhasa. Viraka requested Lord Shiva to help. The
    Lord came out of the cave. His glory and effulgence was brilliant.
    But Vidhasa swallowed Viraka also. Only Lord Shiva was left.
    He chanted a mantra where by Viraka had to send out everyone.
    Everyone came out and asuras were vanquished. Andhaka and
    Lord Shiva also fought. Many Andhakas got created from every
    drop of blood of Andhaka. The Lord destroyed all of them with
    His Trishul. Only the original was left. The Lord lifted him up
    on the Trishul. He would have died. But the will of the Lord that
    Andhaka survived and he transformed. Andhaka sought
    forgiveness. He was humbled. He sought forgiveness of Mother
    Parvati also. The Lord forgives him and tells him to seek a boon.
    He asks to be a Gana of the Lord. Lord Shiva initiates him into
    Mahamrityunjaya Mantra and with HIS Grace he comes to know
    about his entire past. Now that he knows the backstory, he
    realises that he is the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati. The Lord did
    not kill Andhaka but destroyed his evil tendencies. Whoever
    worships the Lord in this form is blessed with the knowledge of
    the Supreme.
    Andhaka is the symbol of ignorance. He did not know who his
    real parents were. We are unaware of our Divine Parents. We get
    into bad company and we become asuric. We may become
    strong and successful but pride and ego comes into us. Due to this
    we exploit and attack Mother Nature. We don’t treat Mother
    Nature properly and so she punishes us. But we still don’t learn
    our lessons and repeatedly continue to attack Mother Nature.
    Finally Lord Shiva has to come and humble us completely. But
    how compassionate of the Lord to forgive us when we surrender.
    He also blesses us with the knowledge that we are Divine. Let us
    look at Prakriti as Mother and invoke her grace and blessings on us.
