The Relation between the Guru and the Disciple.

The Disciple must have faith in the Guru Teacher. The relationship with the teacher is the grates in life. My dearest and nearest rear nearest relative in the life is my Guru; Next my mother then my father. My first reverence is to the guru if my gather says, do this my guru Says, no not do this I do it. The guru frees my soul. The father and mother give me this body; but he guru gives me rebirth in the soul. We attend lectures and read books arguer and reason about god and soul, religion and salvation these are not spatiality because spirituality does not exist in books or in theories or in philosophies, it is not in leaning or reasoning but in actual growth. Even parrots can learn things by heart and reaped them.
If you become learned what of it asses can carry whole libraries. So when real light will come there will be no more of this leering form books book learning. The man who cannot write even this own name can be perfectly religious and the man with a the liberates of the world in his head may fail to be. Leering is not a condition of spiteful growth scholarship is not a condition.
The touch of the guru the transmittal of spiritual energy. Your heart the will begin the growth. That is the read baptism by fire. No more stopping you go on and go on.
The guru must be a man who has know has actually realized the divine truth has perceived himself as the spit. A mere talker cannot be the guru A talkative fool life me can tall much but cannot be the guru.

I have seen such men this in life I have read the bible an all such books they are wonderful. But the living power you can not find in the books the Power that can transform life in a moment be found only in the living illumined souls those shinning lights who appear among us form times to times.

We must wait till the guru comes. And the guru must be worshiped as god. He is god he is nothing less then that. As you look at him the Guru gradually melts await an what is left the guru picture gives place too god himself the guru is the bright mask god wears in order to came to us. As we look steadily on gradually the mask fall of god is revealed.
I bow to the Guru who is embodiment of the Bills Divine the personification of the highest knowledge and the giver of the greatest beauties who is pure perfect, one without a second eternal beyond pleasure and pain beyond all thought and a equalization transcendental .Such is in reality the guru no wander the disciples looks upon him as follows him unquestiongly. This is the relation between the guru and the disciple.

Brahmacharay: The Source of Energy

Chakravarty Rajgopalachari

The force of some so called powerful nations proves to be spineless at the critical time. This will the be considered a tragedy of the culture of such nations, what is the fundamental reason for this?
The courage of man if thing a war is more impotent then the pile of weapons. Brahmacharay enhances the soul force of an individual. The principle of Brahmacharay is threaten when the individuals live thinking only of lust or of actuating wealth or the both. When Brahmacharay is ignored the man soulfoce is diminished an the individual’s power and wealth becomes weak. Whatever be the reason be it obsence literature, cinema or something else whoever may be responsible for it an actor or an actress or the leader of all such works nature does her work. Whenever a nation young men and young woman do not practices Brahmacharay and get engrossed in lust, use education as a means to capture wealth squander their intellect and vital force chasing wealth an lust then how ever well equipped the nation many be with weapons it cannot maintain influxes. All its actions prove to be only an illusions. A fort without a strong fount ion proves to be for made of sand.
This problems is faced by all nations. The soul force of the pole has to be revived other wise however much weaponry sin borrowed or manufactured in factories established by taking loans all to be useless. Man soul force is needed not only in the war for Dharma but for all kinds of justifiable velour. The Brahmacharay and will developed by the practices of Brahmacharay triumphs not wealth an power. To give up Brahmacharay is to turn away form human cavitations towards barbaric life. Practice of self restraint strengthens brain an heart. By indulging in sense pleasure intellectual strength and soul force are destroyed.
It not sufficient to abstain form physical sense enjoyment when thoughts of sense enjoyment keep hovering in the mind when the fire of desire burns us form within then the strength of the mind gets diminished. Brahmacharay means abstinence form seens pleasure and reduction of desire.
For the gita suggests solution the objects of the sense run away for the abstained man leaving the longing but his longing also turns away on seeing the supreme similarly it is written in the Tamil scripture tirukkurla to be saved form multiple attachment take the refute of attachment to that Purashottama.’
Let us wake up to up tin practice the principle of secretors us pray for the grace of saints so that we get right to do it.

God’s Name the infallible remedy!

Janakidas got frightened an said bapu! I don’t have courage to do that. I did not think you and so cowardly. Janakidas if you want to your name immortalized in history. You will hoist the flag of your country an will be prepared if need be to embrace death for the sake of it.
Gandhiji imposition words instilled cordage and self esteem in him. He went to Zurich full of enthusiasm. He exactly what gandhiji had hold him in the play gourd. A huge cored was filled with amazement as they watched the union jack being lowered and Indian in tricolor fluttering in the air. The was the moment of triumph of Janakidas.
Zurich games made him immortal in history
A Atman is eternal an as such it does not come into being like an earthen pot or an insect. Atman is not arched, as sea is reached by the rivers because it is compress. Atman is not produced by transmutation as curd coagulates form milk because it is unalterable. Atman does not require any refinement attainment transudation and refinement all belong to the realm of karma not to the atman.

This is a festival of nature. It brings us in harmony with nature. The Tamil new year begins on this day This festival is know as thai Pongal in South India Sindhis call it Tirmouri in the Hindi heartland it is called Maker Sankranti and it Gujarat it is known a Uttarayana.
This is a day when great religious merits can be attained it was about this time that lord shiva favour several of the devotees then with his beatific vision. One should meditate on lord sunray on the Uttarayana day and should pary on him to free one form passions like desire anger an worries and to help one attain the peace inset fan assimilate a Guru grace.

The Greatness of self knowledge

(From benedictory discourses of Pujya Bapuji)

Self Knowledge is so profound that it should be given to all irrespective of having desire for it or not. Self knowledge is that nectar so divine that it has to be given to open who wants it and also to the own how doesn’t to the later by arousing the want in this heart so that he attains his supreme good. And it is not correct to say that people don’t need self knowledge. Now only human begins but a correct to say that people self knowledge. Not only human begins but all creatures need happiness. From morning to evening living makes all possible efforts to become happy. Only when one attain self knowledge one reaches the pinnacle of wisdom which is the culmination of a bodily actions the zenith of all mental concepts an understanding the height of intellectual prowess form where a thoughts of the mind seen worthless.
In fact things after which the softy is hankering are not required so much the Rishi were filled with compassion at the plight of people being carried away by such things. The know that is only out of ignorance that people think philosophy unnecessary. Foolish men think that don’t need knowledge of Ultimate Truth but Rishi know nobody can do without self knowledge. There have been many saint who attained the realization of slumped truth an become silent. They thought why should when the people feel the need for self knowledge? But there have been some who thought people self knowledge but they don’t feel the need. So they have to persuaded a read nether when she finds that her child does not take regular meals at home and takes junk foods becomes worried she tires every possible mans to get her chide art home made food a step mother of course may say when the child does not like hoe made food what can I do if he will ask for food I shall give.
Our Rishi are not the step mother of the society. They are real parent of human being. Even if people don’t want to spare time to receive the parsed given by the Rishi the Rishi want that people should come to listen to the satsang on self knowledge on any pretext. Unfortunately people are not thirsty for the nectar of the knowledge of ultimate Truth out if ignorance they do not know the greatness of this knowledge. They don’t new the valor of peace in self supreme good will not come to them until and unless they realize the value of self knowledge. If you read the history of spirituality, you will come to know how glorious how immensely valuable self knowledge is. Emperors renounced their kingdoms besmeared there bowl in their hands in order to get favour of self favour of self Realized gurus what to speak of emperors even god in his incarnations as lord Rama reveres the Guru!
“Rising at break of day the lord of Raghus would bow his heard his parents and preceptor.
(Sri Rama Charita Manas Bala Kanda)
Lord Rama would arrive at the guru ashram early in the morning if the guru would be in samdhi he would l not disturb him and will stand at a distance with folded hands. when gurudev would get up form Samadhi. He would prostrate himself before the Guru now this was lord rama himself uttering whose name people are delivered form samsara lord ram knew the value of spiritual knowledge lord Krishan too saved this guru sandman he along with co disciples would go to the forest o cut wood. After he finished his strides he prayed to the Guru I want to offer guru Dakshna (the fee paid at the end for the instructions) kindly tell me what I should of far Gurudev said I don’t need any thing.
Well ask your mother (guru wife) what she wants.
Lord Krishan went to guru wife and asked mother what can I do to earn your pleasure guru wife said Krishan you are endowed with great prowess my child has gone to Yama abode the good of death. Bring him back.
Lord Krishna broke the laws of nature. He brought the child back form the city of death and placed him in his mother lap.
The gita was little time to say anything inessential you will not find in the whole of the gita a single word which it was not essential to say. He lord conveyed what he wanted to society in pithy sentences. The lord and Arjuna were in a chariot stationed between the tow armies ready for battle. At such juncture lord Krishna says:
Know that through prostration inquiry and services. The wise one how have realized the Truth will impart the knowledge to you. Lord Krishan is advising Arjuna who was in close purity to him to get knowledge for the knower of Truth this indicates the self knowledge brings about harmony between human beings dissolving their difference it helps the human society tormented by fear grief jealously and agitation develop dinged quilts like happiness and peace affection and sympathy good conduct and self restraint courage and enthusiasm, velour and forgings in order to dispel the darkness of ignorance to unite the jiva with Barman. When even ay person any community or ay nation disregarded the knowledge of Ultimate Truth behaving contrary to it principles with the viruses of bribery escapism. Terrors an cowardice.
There is no gain superior to self realization self restraint an self knowledge alone can transforms a languid and dejected would into a vibrant an radiant one.
