It has a very balanced daily programme of basic Samskrit, Vedic chanting, Vedanta study, Bhagavatam, Ramacharitmanas, Bhajans, meditation, sports and fitness exercises, team-building outings, games and drama, celebration of all Hindu festivals, weekly Gayatri Havan and Guru Paduka Pooja, and Karma Yoga activities. This series is an effort to promote the learning of Vedanta; it does not replace Course, but hopes to inspire young people to spend two years of their life for an experience that is sure to make a far-reaching spiritual impact on their personal lives. Sandeepany is an all-round spiritual course that gives proper direction to the youth and to those approaching retirement. Hinduism is in dire need of a band of systematically trained teachers or Acharyas who can serve this Eternal Religion. – The Editor, 1st June 2017 Sannyasa Day of Sri Swami Sivananda Om Namah Shivaaya!

Split-Sandhee Samskrit Format is given at the end of the book, for the benefit of beginners. Word-combinations (Sandhees) are highlighted in bold underline (as shown in the table below) to help indicate the splitting of words. This is an original feature. Purpose: To assist new students who are just finding their way in Samskrit to break up the words (Pada Chheda). It is not intended for those already proficient in Samskrit. How it Works: 1. Enables normal chanting. The bold underlined letters are Sandhees, not words, and are needed only to join words for correct chanting. 2. Indicates splitting of words. To determine the words on either side of the Sandhee, the following table may be used. [The table has been applied in the transliteration within the body of the book, where individual words are used.] Add to End Add to Front SANDHEE of Prior Word of Posterior Word A (a) -AÉ- (aa) A (a) C (i) -D- (ee) C (i) E (u) -F- (oo) E (u) elongated vowel -"x- short vowel short vowel -x"- elongated vowel elongated vowel -"x" - elongated vowel A (a) -L- (e) C (i) A (a) -Lå- (ai) L (e) A (a) -AÉå- (o) E (u) A (a) -AÉæ- (au) Lå (ai) AÈ (ah) -AÉå (o) unaffected C (i) -rÉç (y) unaffected E (u) -uÉç (v) unaffected È (h) -xÉç, -Uç, -zÉç unaffected ***** || ¤ÉqÉÉmÉhÉxiÉÉå§ÉqÉç || KSHAMAAPANA STOTRAM “An Appeal to Lord Shiva for Forgiveness” CONTENTS: ________________________________________________________ Introduction 2 PART 1.

Pujya Gurudev, in his commentary says, “Here we find a man lovingly intelligent and intelligently devoted to Truth.” The poem is an appeal addressed to Lord Shiva to forgive the seeker for all his trespasses along his journey through life when he was forgetful of the Lord. It pains the seeker to realize how forgetful he had been at various points in his life. Here again, this is expressed beautifully by Pujya Gurudev: “While giving a running commentary upon the pain-ridden march of an individual from the womb to the tomb, Shankara makes, as it were, twelve stops to fall down in prostration and beg forgiveness of the Lord for all the wretched sins of one’s past, known and unknown, born both of commission and omission.” In this poem, the ardent seeker will appreciate the value of asking the Lord for forgiveness. The Lord sees the pain that a seeker undergoes when he has erred against the higher calling. The devotee at times cannot help but succumb to his human weaknesses. Yet, when he turns to the Lord with a contrite heart, a childlike openness, and humbly submits himself to His loving correction and guidance, the Lord listens attentively and hauls his beloved child out of his painful misery of ignorance and forgetfulness. The great focus in this text is on the power of devotion to the Lord. The intellectual approach of Vedanta is given secondary place to the primary impulse of devotion to the Lord. Indeed, in essence, this is what Vedanta asks of us – to love the Lord with all our heart with single-pointed devotion. ***** LORD RAMA & MOTHER SITA 2 || ¤ÉqÉÉmÉhÉxiÉÉå§ÉqÉç || KSHAMAAPANA STOTRAM (12 Verses) “An Appeal for Forgiveness” PART 1. SINS FROM THE WOMB TO THE TOMB IN THESE FIRST FOUR verses, we take a journey through our entire life, dividing it into four stages, namely, prior to birth, childhood, adolescence and old age. At each stage there is a particular set of experiences which the human being goes through. The focus in these verses is the suffering it endures in each stage. This suffering is primarily due to the forgetfulness of God. The appeal for forgiveness is for the ‘sins’ unique to each stage.

  • AMRITABINDU UPANISHAD (Nectar-Drop-Upanishad)
    AMRITABINDU UPANISHAD (Nectar-Drop-Upanishad) “Desire is the root cause of Sorrow”, says Buddha. The desire ridden mind is impure. Other impurities like anger or jealousy are its side products. When obstructed desire becomes anger, when someone else enjoys what one desires, it turns into jealousy. When one gets what one wanted, greed or pride arises. “Mind is considered as two-fold: pure and impure. It is impure with the resolve of personal desire. It is pure when devoid of all selfish desires”, says Mantra 1. Mind binds, mind liberates! Thoughts are the medium through which the ego, the limited Self, appears and paves the way for all our likes and dislikes, pleasure and pain. Innocence of a child is free from attachment or hatred. As we reach deep within ourselves--we see this childlike nature of pure--undivided awareness due to attachment to sense objects. We pursue pleasure out of mere habit and not as a true need. Paying attention to the subtle ways our mind is indeed desire-less state. This thought is reflected in the 2nd mantra: “Mind alone is the cause of bondage and liberation for human beings. The mind attached to sense objects leads to bondage and that which is free of sense objects sets one free. So it is said”. The mind is like a white cloth. Dip it in red dye, it turns red; dip it in green, it turns green. Put it in sunlight for long, it looses its colors. The mind truly is the Self itself, with no color. Attachment to sense objects are the colors that our mind has taken.

  • PART VI: Book - I NIRVANA (LIBERATION)
    PART VI: Book - I NIRVANA (LIBERATION) 1. What is Nirvana: Sage Valmiki’s opus, Yogavaasishta consisting of six chapters can be broadly divided into two major modules. The first module comprises the initial two Chapters, which are mainly introductory in nature. The subsequent three Chapters that follow them deal with Origination (Utpatti), Sustenance (Sthiti) and Dissolution (Laya) respectively of the universe. What is there to be discussed further when once the universe was Dissolved? From the standpoint of the theoretical exposition of the subject matter, the theory had been covered fully in the two Chapters on Origination and Sustenance. The Chapter that came next was not called Dissolution; instead it was titled, “The Calm Down.” The Chapter on The Calm Down dealt exhaustively with the practical aspects of calming down the mind. By now both the theory and the praxis had been fully expounded from all perspectives. What is it that remains to be explained in one more chapter? Sage Vasishta considered contemplation on Aum to be a very important means of achieving liberation in his discourse in the Chapter on The Calm Down. He pointed out that Aum consisted of the four sounds ‘A’, ‘U’, ‘M’ and a half note. Knowledgeable people following the tradition of contemplation on Aum say that the sound ‘A’ represents creation, ‘U’ represents sustenance and ‘M’ represents calming down. They consider the fourth half note to signify the indistinct ‘hum’ of the three states. If we accept this approach, chapters on creation, sustenance and calming down corresponding to ‘A’, ‘U’ and ‘M’ were completed.

Much of this has been carried westwards in the emigrations we call the sub-races, sent forth from the White Island and the City of the Bridge, so that in their Scriptures we may find many of the priceless pearls of the Brahmavidya.
