 He is srinath mahakavi



whose right attitude to death is ..................
divija kavivaru gundial digguranaga
aruguchunnadu srinathudamara puriki

you see the spirit of celebration in dying, what a confidence, what a thrill excitement, 

a life lived in freedom and nonchalance has no regret no trace of grief on the threat of death
i see him as nachiketha who challenged yama, and stood timeless ageless
now at this moment i see srinath ''on line'' just smiling mischievously at a fake poet trying to compete with him

  Vedic Lifestyle is Conscious Living - Your Presence Heals


The Vedic lifestyle is different in that it comes from Vedas (source of true knowledge or wisdom). The Vedic lifestyle was later labelled as Hinduism by the British when India was colonised by Britain. Hinduism is not exactly a religion; it is a lifestyle that uses spiritual knowledge to explore the inner science. In Vedic lifestyle, it is not about do’s and don’ts, the essence is about exploring the mystic and conscious realms, which is centred on Cosmic understanding with enlightenment as the undercurrent. What I really like is  -  with the right spiritual knowledge, the more you understand, the greater you are empowered and liberated. I was born with a different religion but I discovered Hinduism and the Vedic lifestyle out of my conscious choice. I found it to be the most user-friendly religion because it accepts you as you are, it is inclusive and there is no need for conversion. Above all, it advocates non-violence towards both self and others, and it has an unbroken lineage of producing the most number of enlightened beings since time immemorial, this means – the strength of spiritual knowledge and science of enlightenment can truly lead us to the ultimate freedom.

The Vedic lifestyle is about living consciously. Here are the Vedic understandings which I currently imbibe in my life:-

I am the Source. Individual Soul (Jeevan Atma) is the reflection of the Cosmic Soul (Paramatma). I am the reflection of the Cosmic Soul, and every Individual Soul is actually inbuilt with the quality of expansion so that it can become the Cosmic Soul. This is the spiritual journey of every individual soul on planet earth. We are all spiritual beings having a human experience, not human beings having a spiritual experience. From Upanishad (the secret teachings of Vedas), it is the Cosmic Soul that exists in all lives. When we can see the same Spirit in others, we drop the fear because we understand that we are all one. We are the source, a part of the Universal Spirit or Supreme Consciousness. From this understanding, I take the responsibility to live my life consciously through righteous means.

Science of using the Least from Nature. When I realised that I am a part of the whole, I stop exploiting Mother Nature and its other life forms and learn the art of using the least from nature. For example, the Vedic tradition advocates Sattvic vegetarian food because this diet uses the least from nature and it does not cause destruction or imbalance in nature and the living creatures. In addition, vegetarian diet has a stabilizing effect on our consciousness and it is easy on the digestive system. Ancient masters, sages and rishis found that man gets energy directly when he feeds on vegetables and fruits. What we consume influences our behaviour and thinking, the vital energy from non-vegetarian food is of second-hand since one consumes “dead second-hand food”. Hence, food that is either Rajasic (stimulating) or Tamasic (impure) should be avoided. The fascinating truth is Vedic science even gives us the choice of living without food. This can be achieved through a yogic process called Nirahara Samyama by which we learn to awaken our bio memory to produce energy from prana, water and sunlight, just like plants or trees. I am a Nirahari – one who is free from the bondage of food. This powerful process not only breaks many of my food related patterns; it also gives me a powerful technique to experience a higher consciousness. Now I am living the science of taking the least from nature.

Spiritual practice is life. This body is the temple of the Cosmic Soul; it is through the body that we are able to experience the Cosmic Soul. That is the reason that in the Vedic tradition, spiritual practices (Sadhana) is so important because it is through regular practice that we are constantly reminded of our original state of pure consciousness and we are able to connect with the Source. Many people seek the spiritual knowledge but they don’t practice in their life. This is equivalent to wasting life because it is through practice that transformation happens.  Everything in my life is nothing but spiritual practice. I start my day with kriya to cleanse the body and then Hatha yoga practice to build a healthy yogic body which is able to tune to the Cosmic Soul. Our breath is the bridge between the body and mind; it is also the bridge between self and Existence. I was taught the science of breath by using Pranayama techniques to stop the wavering mind which puts me straight into the thoughtless space where life energy (prana) enters the body without breathing. The different spiritual practice of Kriya, Hatha Yoga and Pranayama, Samyamas prepare our body-mind to sit with ourselves in meditative state so that we can align the body-mind to connect with Cosmic Consciousness. This practice helps to start the day in a state of awareness!

The Love for Guru. In Vedic lifestyle, “Guru, God and Self are ONE”. The word ‘guru’ means ‘one who dispels darkness’! A guru or a master represents a new possibility in our life. He is a new consciousness in our being. He gives us the thirst for truth. He never fails to give inspiration and he opens the doors of possibility whenever we are stuck in life. Some people say they don’t need a master. My experience is you need a guru only when you want to achieve something extraordinary! As of now, our inner light is unlit, by coming close to a master, he lights our inner flame and spurs us to become alive! Once the inner light happens, it starts radiating until it merges with the flame that surrounds it, then there are no longer 2 entities, there is only ONENESS. That is why devotion to Guru (Bhakti Yoga) is the fastest route to Self Realisation as a Satguru is one who leads you to liberation. I found my Satguru, Paramahama Nithyananda in 2006 and my life has just been waves after waves of intense transformation. With him, he shows me how to love myself which is the very basis of yoga. From self love, I am able to love others and ultimately to love God.

Melting in Worship. What really appealed to me about Vedic lifestyle is this is a tradition which believes in all gods or many gods because everything is an expression of the Cosmic Soul, the Universal Spirit. You can even customise your own version of God that is unique to you – such is the freedom of Vedic lifestyle! Every day becomes a celebration of life. Through the rituals of pujas, chanting and deities worship, the science of worship opens up a new devotional dimension in us which goes beyond the logic. Through puja, the intense devotion connects us to the Being centre. Every day after my morning practice, I offer my gratitude to my Guru who is the door to connect me to the space of consciousness and I melt in the presence of the Divine.

Continuous Learning from Satsang & Sangha. In Vedic lifestyle, life is a continuous expansion. Every day every moment life is teaching us something about its grandeur. The way a master continues to inspire us is through satsang which is the company of highest truths with guru. The daily satsang by Paramahamsa Nithyananda is like conscious bombs to my ignorance and unconscious mind, giving me deeper truths about life and understanding about self. The clicks I receive are bliss doses for the Being which put me to the space of higher reality. Whenever I can, I try not to miss the satsang. In addition to my blood-related family, I have another ideological family called Sangha which is a community of like-minded people who are working towards the self realisation. They are the people who I can really relate in the spiritual plane and it s the space where we put our knowledge into practice. Constantly, I get inspired by my fellow Nithyananda family members simply by their spiritual strengths and extraordinary lives.

Art of Fulfilling Relationships. Since we are the source, anything we see is an extension of self. Anything and anybody we experience is an extension of self. All relationships are an extension of self and any suffering from relationship is a sign of incomplete part of one self.  In Vedic tradition, everyone is moving towards ultimate space of consciousness. When we enrich them, part of us is also enriched. When they feel completion, part of us will feel complete. All relationships are meant to bring completion in us and lead us to fulfilment.  This is one of the greatest truths I ever receive from Vedic spiritual knowledge. It completely changes my relationships with my loved ones and people!

Work becomes creativity. Man’s contribution to Cosmic Soul is his expression of creativity. Existence is so compassionate that it gives us the freedom to use our creativity to play with life. The way I have chosen my work with Your Presence Heals is to create a compassionate healing space for people to receive the spiritual knowledge and guide them to self healing. I decided to be a living teacher, a spiritual healer and a natural inspiration for conscious living. This entire expression is my conscious manifestation in the way I choose to engage with society, the way I enrich the world and the way I earn a living through righteous means and the opportunity to bring expansion and fulfilment to me. The exciting thing is I have no idea where this is going to lead me to, I just know that I am just an instrument of the Divine.

Conscious Death or Deathlessness. In Vedic tradition, the science of death is very mystical zone. Death can be used as a jumping board to the enlightenment if you know how to prepare your body-mind while in the body. This science gives us the choice of having a conscious death while exiting the body gracefully or deathlessness. All these sciences are available to humanity if we are interested to explore with the right master. For me, I simply know that the science of deathlessness is possible when my time comes. There will be no more cycle of birth and death!

The above is merely a small drop of the vast science of Vedic lifestyle which I experience in my life so far. The richness of Vedic lifestyle covers from end to end i.e. from birth to death, it caters to all different mind sets and it accepts you where you are without judgment. It is a lifestyle that puts you back in your presence. Vedic lifestyle is created for the people who want to live a conscious life because they know that life is for liberation. Namaste. :)

No. not in this context
In this blog swaminiji is essentially elaborating the objectivity, universality, authenticity, non person-specific nature of veda, but not on mystiques or their mysterious messages
probably in future we may expect from Swaminiji an elucidation on these as well, till then a discussion on Guru Ravidasji can wait

on a quick glance i find that he is one of the great saint, his above proclamation as given by you is definitely has a great relevance but to a rare realized saint as authenticated by gita on the superfluousness of veda after one realizes brahman

i refrain from saying more, to avoid digression of topic , thanks for an intro on Ravidas

rohith sarma:
Dear fellow seeker,

It is exciting to see that u r celebrating life, but would be great if u cud put some of your own interpretation of feeling behind posting this. That wud let u share the joy with us.

thanks..
sarmaji
Thanking you, yours sincerely

i have gigabites of my stuff in the mind, thank you you opened the tap of the fountain head .

i glimpse of the divine presence renders one so free that he has nothing to be shy of , far above the world, caring not the social norm , as if he is just a ''lunatic ''or ''an animal'', his value system transforms itself , which uncared about the societal approval, he is the one who is the ''drunken'', having tasted the divine nectar, he is unmaththa. an intoxicated man.

the divinity can present itself in any way, in any encounter, at any moment, in any form ----some see it as kishan kannaya in the doll like a meera, and 
becomes a magan 
Paga ghunguru bandh meera naachi re

meera sings dances nonchalant, 
oh what a great thing such an experience, words really fail
hence the whole being acts reacts responds flows fly s unaware what is happenning, what she is doing, .
it's the lagan with mira ke prabhu giridhar nagar, makes her to swing to the tune of kishans basuri, hearing from her depths, clearly unmistakably, but ever sweetly, ever bewitchingly , charmingly 
and for the onlooker she just appears a magan, and seeing here he gets flabbergasted and starts himself , unable to resist the magical power
saying

aisee laagee lagan
meera hogaimagan
wo tho galli galli galli galli 
gaathe chali

and every one is so much enchanted that they join in chorus.
life long
and till now, me joining that chorus and enjoying that magic and music and overflowig to share with one and all known or unknown , like in the st brindavan gopa gopee jan around that chora kishora

sandali sufi
Nahi hum aapko janglee kahne ki gustakhi nahi kar rahe hain...Kripya btayen ki song to gaa kar sunaya jata hai...aap likh kar kyon suna rahe hain...? Aapke geet prem ko Naman !
sufiji
Naman, dhanyosmi. kyaa kahoo! kyaa karoo
koi humko janglee kahe, yaa naakahe
sach hai ham sab ban gaye hai, aslee janglee, 
yahaa ye concrete jungles me rahane ke majboori me.

yet 
the divinity is so kind that 
he at times becomes suddenly merciful 
and gives his momentary glimpse, 
may be in the form of such replies by a very few st souls like you, 
to make the mad me into further odd 

for this i am grateful to that divine who inspired you , 
to stumble upon these lines.and triggering my silence 
to flow into responses meaningful or meaningless

i do not worry, i am a junglee, in this universe, it's the lord's jungle, 
with all its inmates becoming my playmates, in the sway of his mohan murali.

this yaaa hooo charmed me by its openhearted spirit 
opening my heart in my childhood days 
now as an adult it is opening my vision to see much much more than the words could convey
and this song hums in me having heard once, with its fantastic visuals and musical value. 
it is available in google search for listening 
kindly see my replies to rohit too above 

let me shout my mouthful, ----yaaa hoooo---so that it echos into every heart

 bhakthi in recent times


yes--we do see it's vikruyhis
---snobbery, ritual, externalities, 
non relevance and more, 
more of just an event management, 
an unavoidable obligation, 
money, show etc

i feel too all is not well.

but no..
No--not so 

what is going on is also a divine show of our times, when looked the other way.

i am flabbergasted at the overflowing devotion in the devotees, 
in tirupathi , ayyappa, poori jagannath, culcutta durga festivals-dhai handi at bombay, vinayak at hyd etc

what a great inspiration driving all to find time and resources to just fulfill the feeblest desire to worship, 
---with music, dance, noise, grandeur, 
play, dramas, sports, competitions , 
puja, prasada,
new attires, flowers, bathi, decorations

--let it be --money/publicity/stunt/what ever can be the driving force all in the name of god, 
in the faith in him---some thing i feel humble

It is all play and display of purusha pratibha, 
the deepest coming out with best of talents, 
organizing power, team work, 
such harmony and serenity 
amidst the rush , deafening loudspeakers, 
push pull of crowds

--what is that which makes all this to happen?
yes ----infn tech is dominating , online services reservations, even puja , but it is all a great thing how nicely getting attended
i may get disgust in waiting for hours in the que, 
but i still makes me to reflect for a while

--what is all this nonsense
--at the same time i feel it is all the pure sense,
things are still happening, 
things are mobilized for a cause unseen 
in the name of invisible some thing
Typically 
men women boys girls doing dance and bhajan, kolatam, 
steps in rhythm with the devotional song s
--i feel why not i join them and be one with them,

leave alone god, it's a great thing happening 
some one offers a golden throne to shirdi, 
or currency in thirupathi hundi

i feel yes divine has its own ways to move the heart and minds of the ignorant masses
--rather child like innocent ways of the crowds
and i feel the devotion myself whether it is felt by all or not
this is a way of my apologies to have called his play a snobbery or other. tnx god bless you.


lets flow in song and dance with the crowd 
and pull the divine chariot, 
tho our effort has any effect on its movement, 
it being in no hurry to be in line with the speed age.

 

bhakthi mukthi

antics of Krishna, pleasant to read , rich with deep meaning in the state of union , one feels all is the same one ie ''the finest dust of pure consciousness'' which is the cure all for all the ills including those of the avatars like sri krishna, who is in the trap of '' name and form '', hence is vulnerable to '' pleasure and pain ''

krisna has sent out this message of the holy dust of the pure consciousness, asks the humanity to get cured of all the bhava rogas since that holy self is

nainam chindanti shasthrani

..sword cannot cut it

fire cannot burn it

water cannot wet it

air cannot dry it

in such a secure state, no headache , no tooth ache, no body ache, one becomes all-proof invincible,

so the message of kishn is----- cross the bhava sagar and reach the other shore, and live happily for ever

truly speaking, i own lord krishna within myself,

as the unmanifest self , ie myself, and gita is open to me giving all answers from within , i dont have any question unanswered my presence in st is just to share my inner wisdom joyfully and usefully

"Grew grew à°Žà°¦ిà°—ి à°Žà°¦ిà°—ి

à°Žà°¦ిR 09; 95;ి à°Žà°¦ిà°—ి à°ªెà°¦్à°¦ à°µాà°¡ిà°¨ి à°•ాà°²ేà°¦ు

i grew and grew, not into elder

i became a child tender

i became vata patra shayi,

the innocent bala krishna

spiritual growth is true growth all the rest is mere froth

as spititual growth happens, one is born again, as a child,

with a slate clean, with a mind a mirror

navo navo bhavathi is the nature of creative intelligence

renders one grow in the ability of finding new ways, new perceptions, more play, mere joy, burden of experiences off-loaded instantly as if a line drawn on water, gets deleted, automatically"

"Puja koti samam stotram

stotra koti samo japah

japa koti samam dhyaanam

dhyanakoti samolayah

(krishna arjuna samvade - uttara gita - mahabharat)

In a conversation of krishna and arjun,krishna said

- the result that we get by performing karodo pujas is equal to performing of 1 stotra,

similarly karod stotras is equal to 1 japa,

karod japas is equal to1 dhyaan

and karodo dhyaan is equal to 1 mano layah.

emphasis is on laya, samadhi under expert master, dhyan leads to samadhi instantly"

 that in this statement , '' (6.47), 'And of all yogis, the one with great faith who always abides in Me, thinks of Me and renders transcendental loving service to Me, is the highest all all.''

------'duality is still persisting ,

since there are the two entities '' he and ME''

whereas lord says ' ''be yogastha'',

be firmly established in your own self , become '' atmavan, ''

where there is no separation between you, me and every entity in the universe

he did not say become ''krishnavan'',

----------this is to be noted

be atmavan where there is no identity of krishna ,

beyond every nama, roopa, mahima,,leela

in such a state of having established in his own self,

which is the ''universal one self'' atma ,

that is the underlying reality of every creature in the universe,

the yogi automatically renders loving service to all the creatures,

as if every being is his own kith and kin,

as if every being is a inseparable part of his own personality,

in the mamatha bhaava, in the feeling of ''my-ness''

here krishna consciousness has become pure attribute-less consciousness,

nirgun nirakar, anamika, nameless formless ,

the core reality of the lord krishna and the culmination of bhaktha becoming one with his ista's core reality,

thus getting released from any bindings , becoming muktha, ,

the ultimate goal of iskcon , the great vehicle carrying the message of lord krishna to the generations to generations"

"Gita2 46

yaavaanaartha udapaane sarvathaha samplutodake |taavan sarvheshu vedeshu braahmanasya vijaanataha

Just like there is no use for a well when water is flooding everywhere, so does a brahmagyani know all the contents of the Vedas.and scriptures"

"For me no need of any scriptures,

since the essence is in the pure consciousness,

experiencing the same has cleared all samshayas

"As Supreme Lord Sri Krishna is Transcendental, pure consciousness, the unity,

no separation, no distance, no duality of me and he ,

there arises no need to surrender

there is one ultimate consciousness all pervading,

inside and outside me,

that is me and me alone,

aham brahmasmi

surrender is only as long as duality persists

as soon as the unity is experienced, duality vanishes

ie as one grows spiritually, one becomes himself the lord krishna"

"Krishna himself is a mortal living being within the frame of'' birth, growth, death''

he died too

but he did sadhana and earned 64 kalas and all bhagas

as a result

so any human being , under right guidance and intense tapasya can become one with supreme , muktha , it's the goal

in the skill and mastery over the chethan , one can acquire the bhagas of any bhagavan, and become that bhagavan , including Bhagavan Sri Krishna"

"What ever potencies and powers of krishna or any avatars or any great saints are simply that of the unmanifest pure consciousness which is the chethan,

''chethana sarva sidhi pradayini ''

and depending on one's sadhana inputs one can access and actualize the unlimited potentialities and live a glorious life as glorious as any god ,

it is the intensity of sadhana that is the basic essential

every bhaktha sees his ista as the ultimate ,

it is natural ista can be any devi, devatha or guru, matha, pita, pati, bandhu ,sakha

conversely all these relations also attributable to ista

so it concludes that wise spirituals must go forward non stop ,

reach that ultimate which is beyond all,

and be established and be done with,

without getting bound with any thing or any one on the way"

"Every manifestation has a beginning and an end, what remains , eternally without change without destruction is the is only the unmanifest chethan ,avinash tatvam

this is applicable to all avathars , including teen murthis

only brahma satyam

but jagat mithya

so if one searches for krishna, he will not see him at all anywhere outside, he can see him in side his own self

since self is the kaivalya kshethra containing all the lokas

and all the beings there in

one can visit vaikunt, kailash or brahmalok,

and meet devi devathas, gandharva, kinnera, kimpurusha and talk to them, shake hands with them --------caution-------all this not on earth plane ---but only on--- the plane of higher consciousness ---in one's own being ---in the atma

so it is possible to meet krishna and play with him,

listen to his sweet murali vadan, and lovely discourse on gita

-------all in one's inside , not any where outside,

not even in temples,,not in dwaraka or mathura or brindavan or near yamuna

so emphasis is on the sadhana to become yogastha as early as possible and be muktha"
