Pranams, swaminiji,

please accept my heartfelt thanks , inexpressible admiration , and inexplicable awe that i have been silently feeling at the monumental series of magnanimous presentations on temples and sculptures, in the speaking tree, ie in the web world ,

i can not really guess the amount of sustained efforts, mental and physical, and sacrifice,

not less than a tapasya over the years, not less than the efforts of shilpis

on this not often traveled path of spirituality, ie of capturing the ''solidified'' divine glories on the eye of camera, by physically being in the vicinity there,

surely it is an adventure rich with discoveries, sharing with the world, for now and for long future for historians, students, artists, architects, and spiritual seekers, opening the eyes for a world , a very little of which was only known thru casual reading in the class rooms and magazines, or heard by word of mouth . now it is made available to see on the pc screen. just clicking the key board., great gift , readers are lucky for this galore of great gifts, thanks once againREPLYDELETE  Like (1)

स्वस्ति ते अस्तु | शुभं मंगलम् ||

I invite you to write the “Foreword” to my books, some general, some Coffee Table Books, that will cover these Temple Architecture eventually.

Yes, the research started around in 2007 with ‘Dilwara Jain Temples’, Mount Abu. I have almost covered everything except the Khajuraho group of monuments.

My contribution is not insignificant, but not very significant also. My USP is however, that I answer all the questions of my readers, which is not available in other private blogs, dedicated website/s, or the books. As I progress in this series, I will bring in comparative tables, comparative sculptures/style, as I have marked without being a professional art historian. Kindly be with me.

I may have to quickly decide some portions to go for print, since there is no end to research and beefing (bad word) up the contentREPLY  Like (1) Report Offensive Block this user

Imposter =

''a person who pretends to be someone else in order to deceive others, especially for fraudulent gain.''

Swaminiji, in view of your assignment on ''foreword'', firstly i will be indicating my full profile and photo, to let you know and assess seriously on my eligibility to write foreword on such important documents

but , in all humility and respect , the truth is i changed my name to ''Devarishi Vasanth'' as per my inner call, which was long due, i did it in face book, it will continues...........but i felt that in st previous name should continue , so reverted back, my name vasanth is not hidden nor changed

above post is to express my genuine appreciation on the tremendous effort invested by you on the topics ,.. na bhootho na bhavishyathi ....in the speaking tree, , but my intention is not to sneak in clandestinely .i am not seeking any gain

kindly do block me again without hesitation, if you feel so . i respect your decision without ill feeling or regret .

but my experience indicates that profile and biodata greatly bias the conversation,

my style does not change, but with a different name m responses are received well. hence i go with multiple ids , but my intentions are pure, pl trust me,

i always emphasize on ''what is said,'' not one ''who said''.........so i like to be anonymous , and rebuild the broken relations, thus i have gained back the lost friends

probably this may be my last talk, unless you favour me with a pardon

my apologies for taking your valuable time ,

best regards, i remain

yours sincerely

vasanth, rishi vasanth, devarishi vasanth, walking towards brahmarishi vasanth, stop not till the goal is reached

Mathaji

prayer to thee

pl forgive my arrogance

pl make me into a good sadhaka

pl help me with your kind blessings

I am seeing your response immediately

how did you listen my silent calling I wonder

as I see your lotus palm rising gently ,

and slowly showering thy grace on my head

my whole being is filled with thy grace,

is becoming cool and blissful

you are so far physically

but you are so near as my mother

you are watching me

you are correcting me every second, when faltering

you have given me the internal direction

to write this prayer in my meditation

you have arranged wherewith alls

to send this prayer to you

you are behind the universe,

running the entire show perfectly,

with unmistakable precision

if I see any mistakes,

it is my own sanskara causing it

you are my mother, for a motherless me

you are my father, for a fatherless me

your name is enough to me to fall at your feet in surrender

your kindness is radiating on me,

humility is increasing, sins are melting,

slowly surely I would become enriched in purity

to be able to call my self a humble son of yours

I am falling at your divine feet,

praying again and again ,

weeping at this moment, with tears

amma

pl pl pl forgive my mistakes,

and bless me

 tension between genders

yes, why this ,why thus--- is to be looked into

this is where the book value of the great scriptures is to be owned in the contemporary routine chores by reading and heeding in the core of our hearts,

as the personality blossoms from childhood to adolescent to adulthood into the enlightened manhood

the ancient antics of manmatha

the vile intentions of ravana

do manifest due to the tendencies,

and start playing havoc in the mind of human being

--be it male or female, animal or insect , even a plant tender Simultaneously, 

now is the time, for the emergence of shiva, the kama dahana, rama the purushothama to keep them in check----not after yugas  now

 how to make them to sprout inside now?

this is where we lack the knowledge and technique of living the values of shiva and ram at the right time in the prime of life.

reason is we lost the tradition of 4 ashrams

starting with brahmacharya, moving in brahman,-as a foundation for he edifice of the building of life of 3 more ashrams

--so damage has been done , none to be blamed

but all remain to share shame

What is the solution

guru krupa continues as a tradition to teach the way to contact the source of shiva, ram ,the home of all virtues in side, when contacted and made lively in life, such tensions vanish, the tendencies get subdued, perspective of life is understood, the thought talk and walk become purposeful beneficial to individual and society and women are respected , men are respected not as gender id but beyond as soul id .

all moral edu preaching teaching will be waste

without the real inner transformation to have shiva with his third eye, the enlightened awareness wakes up, the virtuous rama is reborn in side us

 Most of the greatest feats or accomplishments require intelligence , much more than sweat, tears and toil in order to be accomplished successfully.

intelligence finds easier simpler faster, solutions, succeeds, inspiring sustained efforts to achieve the goal perfectly and with least inputs 

adversity is not a precondition to to tear away the things that cannot be torn, 
it's the expert guidance that helps us to see ourselves as we really are., irrespective of adversity or no adversity, 

the intelligent guide makes one's journey a cake walk, and helps to create a life bed of roses sans thorns

Those who did not find an easier path, who went thru hardships and still reached success are the ones who glorify the merits of adversity .

but adversity as such is secondary, incidental, but not a essential prerequisite for highest accomplishment, but intelligent guidance on the path, and guidance on the ways to enhance the intelligence are the essential prerequisites

Good words are of immense value, at the nick of time they really help, 

hence we are in st to get the wisdom thru words from those who tread the path successfully

నీ పలుకు

ప్రభూ
నా పిలుపు నిను చేరక ముందే
నీ పలుకు నాకందే
నా పిలుపే నీ పలుకు

prabhu
before my call reached you
thy response reached me
my call is it self, thy response

you write to my soul
i read you in my soul

it's all soul to soul
thy soul is my soul

it's a song i sing ,solo
i alone hear , lo!

System and individual entities are the main players in the universe
.
universe is a perfect system self regulating self creating self renovating self restoring

--all the infinite net work of nature's laws perfectly coordinated and faultlessly working, relentlessly

---all processes conforming to the laws carrying out the ultimate objective of evolution of consciousness

---with certain degrees of allowable tolerances.

and it's a highly dynamic with moment to moment pulsating phenomena.

scriptures give the detailed transactions that are taking place,on how/what of all actions having varied attendant influences on the components

and how they get regulated.

and those who are able to see the laws and the system see/create/weave time space situation

with iconic idioms which are symbolic but convey tremendously more than the literal significance.

one will get at its true value in proportion to the degree of his seeing ability.and gets guided in his

life with least deviations without harming himself or the system.

to read the scripture it is more necessary to read it in his inside than in the books or lectures. from outside.

which at best serve as links to open up depths, if only one is connected to his inner self adequately firmly.

dharma is system--containing the total and detailed lawscompletely defining the functioning of the universe overall and localized -----like how cosmos planets , galaxies, solar systems ie overall, and how each cell is working in the bodies of beings .
things and beings are the components /entities in the system.
but they are given limited intelligence proprional to the level of evolution and limited capabilities.
man knows so far and not further
man can walk a few miles and no further
one can of course stretch but so far but no further
each of us are given freedom but within limits.
if we exceed consequences follow.
. whether geetha or life of rama or maha bharath ---all have upheld system as supreme , that is dharma as supreme irrespective of all considerartins like bandhu mitra etc, and are asked to be in line.
tat is how i understand the scriptures.
system is well written but in small print so to say

And we are asked t do sadhana to be able to cognize and mould ourselves to conform lucky are those who sucseed, and they follow and guide others to follow for the complte good working of system

 adi deva namasthubhyam

Ahilandakoti brahmandanayaka has sent one surya as his rep for bhoomi to give light, life.

he is koti surya prabhatejam, means at least koti suryas do exist if not more

the seer sees much more in the phenomena , the sun is.

he sees sun as the paramathma dispelling the darkness,

more than, a fire of certain temp ,with so much calorific value

with light of so many candle power, or just an input for chlorofill ,or germcide and with certain

radius volume , life, with vibgyor colors unified

it evokes awe respect, fear in the theif, hope, happiness, as mithra,

i adore our tradition of deifying this phenomena, in much more fitting manner it deserves

it directly is god visible

sun is indirectly also a supreme god invisible residing and illuminating our outside and inside lives

nice we have this ratha sapthami

let's all be blessed by sun in and out, for this shining blog to day

  Resolving is good

it reminds me great resolves of un to make world peace a reality,
many times stated resolves of leaders/govt to end terrorism and corruption
to bring the scamsters to book and many similar
some thing is better than nothing
some day they may become a reality
be patient, keep watching , and reresolve if any is not staying to become action
reresolve gives a great satisfaction when necessary action is not taken

it is an effective escape route , for the ineffective, appearing to be effective

resolve is no alternative to solve

reresolve is justification for failure,
and an assurance to continue to be ineffective

solve so that no need to re solve, resolve, reresolve

The best resolves,the next moment dissolves
pressure of tendencies, as if writings on water, all absolves

let mind learn first to solve
how to open the creativity valve

to flow in best nature's rhythm
to allow it self mold in to a poet's rhyme
