Hindu PrayersThe Ocean of Spiritual Pearls ConclusionA Legacy for Hindu Youth Diaspora Bibliography Glossary Endnotes CHAPTER 1 The World of Cosmic Consciousness Unlike the Western concept of linear time, the Hindus accept time as cyclical, w ith neither beginning nor end. At first, the concept of the Vedic kalpas (time units ) might seem absurd, but when these figures are compared with modern astronomical scientific data, it is amazing to notice the patterns of similarity between the two. How could it have been possible to discover all this without any techno logy, without instruments, and without any computers? Ancient Hindu seers, or Rishis, who are credited with having invented the zero and decimal phenomenon, seem to have had a deep insight of cosmic events, based on the fundamental principle of harmony. Although some scientists now concur with the viewpoint that the universe is eter nal, most accept the modern scientific opinion that the whole cosmos was created by a big bang about 18 billion years ago. Our solar system was created 4.5 billion years ago. The solar system is a part of a larger galaxy of stars, the Milky Way . If we were seated in a spaceship zooming at the speed of light186,000 miles per secondit would take 100,000 years to traverse from one end of the Milky Way galaxy to the other. There are billions of other galaxies of stars like this one. Hindu scriptures ha ve given stunning descriptions of these infinite, countless solar systems (brahmand s) in the cosmos. The galaxies have been there from eternity. But the most surprisi ng thing is that all these stars, their satellites, comets, and other phenomena are positioned with a faultless precision. Just by the direction and size of the sha dows, we can calculate the time of day up to a fraction of a second. The ancient Hindu Rishis studied these complex astronomical structures minutely, giving the world authentic and deep knowledge of astronomy and astrology. The Hindu Vedas also mention the time periods as kalpas. The time periods mentioned in these Vedic kalpas defy our imagination. One large time-period kalp a consists of 1000 smaller units, known as mahayugas. The current mahayuga is further subdivided into four parts: Satyayuga period: 1,728,000 years Tretayuga period: 1,296,000 years Dwaparyug period: 864,000 years Kaliyuga period: 432,000 years The total age of the current mahayuga is calculated as 4,320,000 years. (2) The present period of time is kaliyuga. The mythological significance of the various periods has been explained as: Satyayuga represents age of total purity. Tretayuga represents age of three-quarter purity. Dwaparyuga represents age of half purity. Kaliyuga represents age of total impurity. Hindu Rishis stated that there are eternal cycles of evolutions, or srshti, and dissolutions (pralaya) taking place in the cosmos. Modern science is only now coming to grips with this understanding of the cosmic phenomenon. Even rocks, which are millions of years old, have a pattern. We can calculate the age of a r ock by patterns of deposits through the millennia. A tree leaf has a unique design t hat has been constant for ages. This harmony and rhythm compels us to believe that our universe is built on a most solid foundation and that there is a supreme pow er, which regulates the universe. All these milky pathways of billions upon billions of stars have been in existence and have functioned for uncountable millennia. They existed before any religion came, before the earth was formed, before Lord Rama or Lord Krishna came, before Hindu Rishis or sages came, before any human being walked on the earth. The Rishis, however, recognized this cosmic phenomenon, and they called it Brahmanthe transcendental, the supreme, the eternal soul, which pervades everything, everywhere, at all times. The world is there, and we are there because of this source of power behind us. In fact, all our power and intelligence is simply extended to us from this eternal source. The concept of universal Brahman sowed the seeds of spiritual unity. In modern times, this conc ept of Hindu thought has been vindicated by the use of the term panentheism, which i s associated with many ancient religions and describes the Divine as the immanent principle of the entire cosmos. Human beings have now started to realize how tiny a particle of this vast infini te cosmos of the Divine they are and should not, therefore, become arrogant about their own accomplishments and achievements, however big they might be. The ancient Rishis also recognized the utter vulnerability and weakness of man. They recognized the futility of man to depend upon his ego. They compared man to a wave of the ocean; it rises and moves because it is with the ocean. Separated fr om it, the wave will perish in a moment. They compared the man to a whiff of air, t o a bubble of water, to a speck of dust, and to a grain of sand. Again and again the y reminded mankind to be vigilant. They reminded man to strive to remain in connection and union with the source, the eternal God. Hindu Rishis sang and wrote thousands of hymns in tribute to this supreme power. Union with the Divine, or yoga, as it is translated, is mans avowed final destina tion, according to the Hindu philosophy.

The growth, strength and inter- supportiveness of these four pillars are key to spreading of the Swaminarayan Faith. Lord Shree Swaminarayan has acknowledged these pillars and laid down the key responsibilities for each of the pillars. He instructed his Nand-Santos to write Shastras which helped the devotees to perform devotion (Bhakti), acquire true knowledge (Gnan), practice righteous living (Dharma) and develop non- attachment to every thing material except Supreme God, Lord Shree Swaminarayan (Vairagya). There are nine types of bhakti, of which, Lord Shree Swaminarayan has singled out Kirtan Bhakti as one of the most important and fundamental in our devotion to God.

  • Pramukh Swami's Work
    Pramukh Swami's Work “In the good of others lies our own...” This maxim by Pramukh Swami Maharaj is not only an inspiring call for all humanity, but also reflects the spirit of his services to man and society. Acclaimed as a unique and rare holy soul of India, Pramukh Swami Maharaj was born on 7 December 1921 in the village of Chansad, Gujarat. He is the fifth successor in the illustrious spiritual tradition of Bhagwan Swaminarayan (1781-1830) who established the Swaminarayan Sampradaya. Pramukh Swami Maharaj was born in the village of Chansad, 12 km from Vadodara in Gujarat on 7 December, 1921. Known as Shantilal in his childhood, he was wedded to devotion from a young age. His parents, Motibhai and Diwaliben Patel, were adherents of the Swaminarayan Sampradaya. Shastriji Maharaj had discerned the potential of young Shantilal from the very day he initiated him as a disciple. While studying in 6th grade, Shantilal received the call from guru Shastriji Maharaj to renounce his home. With the blessings of his parents, he left home at the age of 18 and was initiated by Shastriji Maharaj in January 1940 and was renamed as Sadhu Narayanswarupdas. For 11 years, Narayanswarupdas served under guru Shastriji Maharaj. During the initial years, he toured with him and studied Sanskrit and the shastras. He excelled in studies but had to discontinue them to serve in the mandir-building activities. In 1943, he played an important role in the construction work of the mandir in Atladra. From 1946-1950, he was given the responsibility of Kothari of the BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir in Sarangpur.

Focus was on the role played by the guru, the sadhus and devotees of the Swaminarayan Movement and how they related t~ their religious, ethical and social obligations. Their responses to ethical scriptures were evaluated, especially with a view to determining the extent to which ethical injunctions permeates, enhances, uplifts and shapes the adherents spiritually,morally and socially. Swaminarayan ethics was also placed within the context of Classical Hindu Texts and in particular, the work of Ramanuja and his Vishistadvaita philosophy. Further, it has been observed that the quest for the Ultimate Reality (Purushottam) is through their relationship with Akshar, Guru Pramukh Swami, the model of ethical excellence whose charisma binds the fibre of the Movement and his role serves both the ethical and transcendental plane of the Movement.

    AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA VEDANTA DARSHANAM Dec 09 Vedanta Darshanam Salutations to all. We are coming to the end of yet another eventful year - fear of swine flu, economy not showing any signs of improvements and many other natural calamities just to name a few. When we put 2009 to our memories and proceed with the next year of 2010, generally the way we approach it is to enjoy the new year’s eve to the full. But instead of this we ought to realize that yet another year has passed by and what have we achieved with respect to realization? Have we realized? If yes, then we can very well enjoy not just the new year’s eve but all the whole of next year. But if the answer is no, then we should create a kind of seriousness in the mind so that we don’t lose yet another year doing the same old stuff (that we have been doing over and over again). Life isn’t that worthless that we can just keep on killing time by doing useless activities over and over again – these activities aren’t just useless but they also only lead us towards more and more sorrow. This doesn’t mean that we should stop doing all these worldly activities but just that we ought to give realization its priority amidst these worldly activities. If we forget realization as one of the highest priority goal of our life, then we will be spending many more births in this misery of samsaara. It is fine to forget realization if we haven’t been introduced to Vedanta but having read few things about Vedanta, we ought to not let yet another year pass by without any progress in the spiritual path.
