Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 sairam source - SATHYOPANISHAD - PROF ANIL KUMAR . Q2) Swami! We find people of every religion following a specific sacred text and a particular path. But in Sanatana Dharma, we have numerous paths, texts, and procedures such as dualism, qualified non-dualism and non‑dualism, the nine paths of devotion, the six Darsanas, the four Vedas, numerous Sastras, and so on. How are we to understand these and practice the principles of Sanatana Dharma? Bhagawan: Sanatana Dharma is the most ancient spiritual way of life. Its diversity matches the spectrum of human behavioural tendencies, temperaments and mental attitudes. It is practical and confers divine experiences. A small example. You buy a piece of cloth and give it to a tailor to make a suit for you. The tailor will get your suit ready according to your measurements, does he not? You cannot wear a dress made for someone else. It may be too lose or too tight, too long or too short. Therefore, your dress must be according to your size. Similarly, some may like Rama, some Siva, Krishna, and so on. They find it easy to concentrate on the deity of their choice, whereas the followers of other faiths may have to wear one dress of one and the same size. Another example. You may know the nadasvaram, the South Indian musical instrument required to be played on every auspicious occasion. To maintain srti or rhythm by way of an accompaniment, one person plays an instrument in the same way all through. On the other hand, with nadasvaram you can play any number of ragas or tunes. Sanatana Dharma is like the nadasvaram. HELP EVER HURT NEVER SAIRAM SAIRAM SAIRAM SAI RUKMANI Bring your gang together. Do your thing. Find your favourite Group.
