Dear bhakthas,

I got some questions.The world is created and each

and every soul came to existence due to the Lord Narayana.In this

context, how we can map this to a person who doesnt follow our religion,

for ex - an american.He doesnt know anything about moksha.Human being's

life is defined and how is it defined for animals?.Please clarify.

 

 

Your's

Dear Narasimhan,

 

Here is my opinion. Feel free to disagree.

 

The material body evolves from from a combination of

the three gunas - Sattva, Rajas and Tamas.

 

The individual soul or jiva takes different bodies as

result of its karma. The jiva acquires karma because

of desires.

 

Therefore depending on its karmas, jivas can embody as

plants, animals, humans, Pitrs, Bhutas, Devas,

Gandharvas, Apsaras etc. in any part of this universe

or other parallel universes.

 

Depending on the particular body that a jiva has

taken, it may or may not have access to the Vedic

literature that points to Lord Narayana as the supreme

being. Just because the jiva is ignorant of this

knowledge it does not change the supreme truth or the

supreme being. For example just because a person is

ignorant of the law of gravity, it does not imply he

is exempt from the effects of gravity. Similarly the

eternal law namely VEDIC DHARMA applies to all beings.

I think the jiva is eternally knowledgable about the

supreme soul Narayana, but this knowledge may be

covered by gunas like rajas and tamas. Purification of

the mind is required for the understanding the

absolute truth.

 

Purification means removal of lust, anger, greed etc.

Then the light of the supreme being will shine by

itself in the mind.

 

Also let us remember that "Sarva deva namaskArah

kesavam prati gacchati" (Salutation to every deity

ultimately goes to srI Kesava)

 

This is my humble opinion.

 

Thanks,

 

rohit

Shree Vijayaraghavan,

 

Here are my thoughts:.

 

Every life form is looking for happiness - uninterrupted, unlimited

absolute happiness - and that seems to be the purpose of life -

whether American and Indian. All pursuits in life - pravR^itti or

nivR^iit - that is gaining something or getting rid of something is

only to accomplish this end.

 

In the human, the intellect has evolved to the degree he cannot but

ask questions at one stage in life or not - what is the purpose of

life? -and this is what is stated in the Mu. Up. pariiksha lokaan

karmachitaan brahmano .... . Philosophies - or dharshanaas have

evolved to explain essentially this - what is jiiva? or individual?

what is this world that one has to deal with -Is there a creator and

if so what is His/her qualifications? why did He create? what is the

relation between the Jiiva and the creator and Ultimately how one can

achieve what one wants to achieve - the absolute uninterrupted,

unlimited happiness. In answering the above questions, one becomes

aware of why normal means of knowledge - pratyaksha and anumaana

cannot lead to answers to these questions and why shabda or shaastra

alone are the means of knowledge. This automatically lead to Veda

and Vedanta as the ultimate means for knowledge. How achaarya-s

interpreted the Vedic teachings and why you feel that Ramanuja's

interpretation of the Vedic teaching is correct.

 

The bottom line is - before one discusses these issues with American

or anyone, one should one self be sure about the knowledge.

 

Second way of teaching is living or leading the values and teachings

of the Achaaryas by following strictly with complete faith and

understanding - manasaa vaachaa karamana - and your life itself will

be a teaching for those who would like to follow by seeing the

virtuous life.

 

Hari Om!

Sunrise

 

Kodavanti Subrahmanyam (12 May 2006)

 

 

 

Sun rises in the east and sets at west

 

Mid day sun is very hot an experience

 

What is reality and what is false

 

Is there any raise and fall of the sun?

 

 

 

Around the sun, the planets are moving

 

Earth's movement causing day and night

 

None can imagine the earth stops moving

 

All miracles, our mind is full of misery.

 

 

 

Imagine when the earth has no movement

 

Imagine when the earth has no spin

 

Imagine when round the clock sun-shine

 

Imagine when round the clock darkness.

 

 

 

Just like this we are in the peril

 

Just like this we are in the bondage

 

Just like this we are in the darkness

 

The indwelling Sun, to teach the truth.

 

 

 

Meditate, Meditate, Meditate, Med--

 

Till the Ray of the Divinity in thee

 

Till the Ray of Sunshine sparks in thee

 

Worry not remain in MERRY HAPPINESS

 

 

 

T A K E T I M E

 

1) Take time to MEDITATE. It is the price of POWER, to enjoy the BLISS of indwelling SUPER CONSCIOUSNESS for ever lasting peace and Happiness, the real Goal of human life.

 

2) Take time to sing a song since MUSIC means Melodious, Universal, Spiritual, Individual and Creativity. Learn Music not to earn money but to maintain long life with health and happiness.

 

3) Take time to LAUGH. It is the MUSIC OF THE SOUL.

 

4) Take time to SERVE. Service to humanity is service to GOD. (Manava sevaye Madhava Seva)

 

5) Take time to WORK. It is the price of SUCCESS.

 

6) Take time to PLAY. It is the secret of PERPETUAL YOUTH.

 

7) Take time to READ. It is the way to KNOWLEDGE.

 

8) Take time to be FRIENDLY. It is the road to HAPPINESS.

 

9) Take time to LOVE AND BE LOVED, it is the nature of being alive. Without this, we can scarcely live. (Created by: Subrahmanyam Kodavanti, Visakhapatnam

EYE OF HURRICANE

 

KODAVANTI SUBRAHMANYAM

 

 

 

Hurricane horror spread miles and miles

 

Hurry the people to move miles and miles

 

Worry the people no matter rich and poor

 

Bury' hard-earned assets make them roar.

 

 

 

Hurricane's mind always works on destruction

 

People's mind is always works on construction

 

Hurricane shows no mercy of any religion

 

People always embrace of their own religion.

 

 

 

Surrounded by destruction, the eye is calm

 

Even spread over miles Cyclone's eye is calm

 

Shy not to say human is also having such eye

 

Visible only to the enlightened, the Third Eye.

 

 

 

Third Eye is quiet and calm, no disturbance at all

 

Round around surrounded worries, care not at all

 

Greed, games of politics, desires do not care at all

 

Aground the mind to focus one or no thought at all.

 

 

 

Third eye is full of mercy lull the body with mercy

 

Skill is at will to kill the mind, view the full mercy

 

Vanish religious mind, banish thought force thee

 

View the THIRD EYE born like BRIGHT SUN IN THEE

 

 

Third Eye is the God, the spirit all in one

 

The happiness, enjoyment also all in one

 

The Bliss Eternal, turning point all in one

 

The Truth, the Sweet Fruit of life all in one.

 

 

 

Attitude changed, Ideas changed really a wonder

 

Work is changed, Worship is changed, a wonder

 

Look is changed, Luck is changed, what a wonder

 

Changed personality, is really a great wonder!

“O MY DEAR MIND, MIND YOURSELF”

Subrahmanyam Kodavanti smkodav@gmail.com

 

O my dear mind if you don’t mind, mind yourself

It’s full of Super consciousness, bliss of your Self

A Lead Kindly Light, Lead the goal of your Self

Detachment Attachment, learn with ease yourself. O my dear mind- -

 

Detach body consciousness, know the art of bliss

Attach Inner Vision Consciousness, don’t miss

Death of thoughts O God! Bliss Eternal is assured

A bright spark tuned on to you, centres cured. O my dear mind- -

 

Burden of the body bundled to heaven, not hell

Misery of the mind also is not too late as well

Merger of the mind with the Devine a good will

Conscious sleep, beautiful boon with cosmic bell O my dear mind- -

 

Inward journey, the habit you deserve to lead

Good symptoms a proof you are in good mood

Location and vacation of centres a good deed

Calming down the mind always elderly heed O my dear mind- -

 

Happiness, Happy moods elevating henceforth

Sorrow, no question at all vanish thenceforth

Religion, politics, man made ones whence forth

Class and creed to care none at all to put forth O my dear mind- -

 

Beyond religion, no doubt but, flow with religion

A Golden River emerged really in every religion

All are saints, no doubt creators of each religion

Doubt not, the bliss with in, not to quit religion O my dear mind- -

 

A Master’s mind, no doubt to respect, a must

A Master’s wish, no doubt to lit lamp, a must

A Master’s Vision, no doubt, emerge its best

A Master, no doubt, guides thee till the last. O my dear mind- -

 

Rich and poor, no matter, who ever are thee

Your presence is a must to eliminate thee

Forgive and forget me, Golden Eye, O thee

A blissful motion, emerged to goodbye, thee O my dear mind- -

 

O God, what is your religion? I don’t know

O God, what is your profession? I don’t know

O God, What is your nativity? I don’t know

O God, What is your language? I don’t know O my dear mind- -
