Wisdom from the Rishis ( Arsha Vidya Deepam )

Nothing is separate from the source of a creation because no object can exist if the cause from which it has come in to being is removed. Just as, If the clay is removed from a pot made of clay then there is no pot. So too the universe. Iswara happens to be the cause from the stand point of this creation (srishti). Parameswara is "abhinna nimitta upadana karanam" for the "jagat" which pervades the whole creation.The maker and the material being one and the same God is in and through the entire universe. Where is God? the question comes because of the conclusion that the God is located within Space and time as an object. But if we can reshuffle our thinking and enquire into the subject matter we find ourselves the amazing facts about oneself, the universe and God. we have the word Bhagavan for God.In sanskrit it is defined as " ऐश्वर्यस्य समग्रस्य वीर्यस्य यशसः श्रियः।

ज्ञान-वैराग्ययोश्चैव षण्णां भग इतीरणा॥

aiśvaryasya samagrasya vīryasya yaśasaḥ śriyaḥ |

jñāna-vairāgyayoścaiva ṣaṇṇāṁ bhaga itīraṇā ||

all knowledge, jnana; total dispassion, vairagya; the capacity to create, sustain, and resolve, virya; absolute fame, yasas; all wealth, sri; and overlordship, aisvarya. So these six fold qualities in absolute measure is called "bhaga" and so one who has it is bhagavan.

"Rama" is the very self, discovering the reality of the self is a joyful pursuit and in whom you discover joy is the wholeness and it is called Rama. "ramante yasmin iti Rama".

मनोबुद्ध्यहङ्कारचित्तानि नाहं न च श्रोत्रजिह्वे न च घ्राणनेत्रे ।

न च व्योमभूमिर्न तेजो न वायुश्चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम् ॥शिवोऽहम् १॥

न च प्राणसंज्ञो न वै पञ्चवायुर्न वा सप्तधातुर्न वा पञ्चकोशः ।

न वाक्पाणिपादौ न चोपस्थपायुश्चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम् ॥शिवोऽहम् २॥

न मे द्वेषरागौ न मे लोभमोहौ मदो नैव मे नैव मात्सर्यभावः ।

न धर्मो न चार्थो न कामो न मोक्षश्चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम् ॥शिवोऽहम् ३॥

Om NamaShivaya ॥ ॐ नम:शिवाय॥ The Lord pervades in and through everything that exists. Parameswara is in this form of the universe. when we understand the maker and material of this "prapancha" there exists nothing separate from the Lord. Parameswara is understood as the material cause and the efficient cause also "abhinna nimitta upadana karanam".Nothing is separable from that existence which is whole in itself. Undevided whole is iswara. OnTatSat

Every morning brings you an opportunity to live in this world. How to start in the morning will determine our day. To have gratitude for all the blessings we recieved till now will be a good start. Here this verses are expressions of fullness and satisfaction centered on the self. One undevided whole is the basis of the entire universe of names and forms.It resolves back in to the wholeness for those who recognise this fact.Just as the waves in the ocean resolves in to ocean.Actually nothing but water alone exists and the waves and ocean etc. are just different expressions of the same water......omtatsat

Om Sri Gurubhyo namah: . Brief description of some of the verses given here as we will see the entire vision through the teaching as and when each one of them are taken separately. Om Hara Hara shankara........... we need to have a lot grace of Matha Saraswati to understand the subject matter. Knowledge is a miracle we do not know how does it takes place in the mind or buddhi.All that we know is it requires a lot of grace. You have to earn it as it is not free.So this invokation is to fulfill that requirement...... Invoking Sri Dakshinamurthy who is Lord Parameswara himself in the form of the Guru. .................... The Guru of all the Gurus giving the knowledge to his desciples sitting under the banyan tree with a smiling face and revealing the self through words employed in a special way to communicate and at same time not creating concepts or phylosophies but exactly unfolding the vision intended to be reached by the listener.This is "mauna vyakhya" . "Mouna" is silence "vyakhya" is its unfoldment.Unfolding the subject matter through silence means the words themself do not stick on to the listener . But having done the job they go away. Just as container is not to be taken for the content in it.So too the literal meaning of the words are negated and the actual vision is transfered in the process of teaching. This involves a methodology, which is transfered to the desciple during the process of teaching itself.This method of teaching is known a traditional way of handling the words and delevering the knowledge from Guru to shishya.This teacher to student (Guru to Shishya) is Guru Shishya parampara.The flow of knowledge without any break. Hence it is as fresh as it obtained in the begining so we can say it is ever fresh.The Lord is presented as ever young (yuva).what is taught by the Lord is also ever fresh. It is live because the conscious being is adressed here to make that individual to awake to see the self which is free in its own glory..!! ................... Bhagavad Gita verses - the sanskrit verses of all the 18 the chapters of the Bhagavad Gita.The unfoldment of the vision of this teachings of Bhagavan Sri Krishna becomes live whenever the teaching takes place between a competent teacher and a qualified student. Amazing vision of Sri Krishna is presented by Vyasa bhagavan through these sanskrit verses which are arranged in the 18 chapters.To hear and to learn the verses makes it familiar to a person before he/she begins his/her studies.
