Vijayendra Saraswati of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham had commanded me at the Shri Lakshmi Kamakshi Nilaya surroundings at Chennai to translate and explain the Virat Parva of Maha Bharata owing my background of scripting Ashtaadasha Puranaas -Ashtaadasha Upanishads- and various Smritis too. Thus came the Essence of Virat Parva and that was released by the kamakoti. org website. Then followed the Esences of Bhagavat Gita- Bhishma Parva- Drona Parva- Shanti Parva in Two Parts all of which too were published by the Kamakoti Peetham besides Google and Amazon for worldwide publicity with the consent of Kamakoti Peetham, and now the Essence Sanasujaateeya of Maha Bharata of Udyoga Parva, based on Adi Shankara Bhashya by Acharyas Krishnaanada Sagara/ Akhadaananda Sagara with my own Vishleshanas and Explanations from Ashtaadhasha Puranas-Upanishads.-Valmiki Ramayanas. This Essence of the four chapters of Sanatsujaatiya be an outstanding analysis of what King Dhritarashtra approached Mahatma Sanatsujaata and said : Revered Rishivarya! As per you upadeshaas to your disciples that you had be suggested, what should be the ways and means of evading mrityu and despite the truism of ‗jaatasya maranam dhruvam‘, then how to face mrityu with a clean mind and heart seeking to ascerain the paramaardha saaraamsha to secure atma jnaana and attain ‗ jeevan mukti‘.He had further explained : Avidya be the ‗karya nivritthi kaarana‘ and hence Paramatma be assuming the form of a hamasa swarupa and explained how to teach the facile manner by which the samsaara nouka be able to navigate through the avidya and agjnaana prapancha; thus the ‗mrityu be navigated to ‗amritam‘ thus be the Eternal Truism of ‗Mrityormaa Amritam gamaya‘! Actually the explanation commenced from as to how the ‗Angushta Maha Purusha‘, generated the Praktiti and Maya even was hidden subtly as the Inner Self as the ‗dahraakaasha‘ as the Pramatma and Antaratma. Prakriti Maya and further the Maha Tatwaas or the Great Awareness then initiated Srishti of all types of andaja-shvetajaadi dehaas and most significantly of manushyaas with the normal concept of stree purusha bhedas to sustain the srishti. Then emerged the Kaala Maana, the Cycle of Time and further the periodical pralayaas. Further the perception of Srishti-Sthiti- Samhaaraas and as of Brahma-Vishnu- Shivas and their strees of Vidya-Lakshmi-and Durga. Then came the tribute to ‗Brahmacharya‘/ ‗Yagjna, ‗Satraayana‘, leading to the bridge between the two Oceans of ‗Ara‘ and‘nya‘! Individual Self is a bridge to keep the two worlds of Maya or Unreality and Satya or of the Truth; this bridge serves a means of non- integration of the worlds as two lasting entities. The factors of day and night or of time concept, nor of age, illness, sorrow, evil or morality do not reach te bridge as the definitive divider of either of existences.Then the explanation of Causative Fullness to Derivative Causation-the Cause and Effect Syndrome! . Damayita-Daana-Daya or Control-Charity-Compassion constitute the three seeds of Virtue. Then there was the general Analysis of human weaknesses as of Tapatrayaas-Tri gunas-and aadhi bhoutika- aadhi daivika and aadhytatmika occurences. Then there was a detailed discussion on Thyaga- Daana- Pravitthi and Nivritti. Such was the overall coverage of the Essence of Sanatsyjaateeya.. We in our tradition of Veda-Vedangaas- and of the bhaki vishvaashaas especially to the Kamakoti Peetha of Adishankara- Maha Swami and the present Peethaadhipati HH.

  • Revisiting the Rationality of Reincarnation-Talk Ankur Barua

    Revisiting the Rationality of Reincarnation-Talk Ankur Barua

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Apollo Revisiting the Rationality of Reincarnation-Talk Ankur Barua Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge A survey of the key arguments that have been developed for and against the rationality of belief in reincarnation shows that often the central dispute is not over what the ‘data’ are but how to assess the ‘data’ from specific metaphysical-hermeneutical horizons. By examining some of these arguments formulated by Hindu thinkers as well as their critiques – from the perspectives of metaphysical naturalism and Christian theology – we argue that one of the reasons why these debates remain intractable is that the ‘theory’ is underdetermined by the ‘data’, so that more than one set of the latter can be regarded as adequate explanations of the former. Keywords: Reincarnation, karma, Underdetermination A survey of the arguments for and against the doctrines of karma and reincarnation, as they are understood across the Hindu traditions, would reveal that the proponents and the critics often disagree not so much over what the ‘evidence’ is, but how to incorporate it within their wider conceptual horizons. As we will see in this essay, while one group would regard the absence of a certain kind of ‘data’ as falsifying the doctrines, this evidential gap would not be viewed by the other as a major epistemic defect. Therefore, one of the reasons why debates 1 for and against the ‘rationality’ of these doctrines continue to be intractable is, to use the vocabulary of philosophy of science, that the theory is underdetermined by the data, so that there are alternative theoretical frameworks that ‘fit’ the same set of data.

Having bowed down unto Narayana and Nara, the most exalted of male beings, and the goddess Saraswati, must the word Jaya be uttered. Janamejaya said, “After Karna had thus been slain in battle by Savyasachin, what did the small (unslaughtered) remnant of the Kauravas do, O regenerate one? Beholding the army of the Pandavas swelling with might and energy, what behaviour did the Kuru prince Suyodhana adopt towards the Pandavas, thinking it suitable to the hour? I desire to hear all this. Tell me, O foremost of regenerate ones, I am never satiated with listening to the grand feats of my ancestors.” Vaisampayana said, “After the fall of Karna, O king, Dhritarashtra’s son Suyodhana was plunged deep into an ocean of grief and saw despair on every side. Indulging in incessant lamentations, saying, ‘Alas, oh Karna! Alas, oh Karna!’ he proceeded with great difficulty to his camp, accompanied by the unslaughtered remnant of the kings on his side. Thinking of the slaughter of the Suta’s son, he could not obtain peace of mind, though comforted by those kings with excellent reasons inculcated by the scriptures. Regarding destiny and necessity to be all- powerful, the Kuru king firmly resolved on battle. Having duly made Salya the generalissimo of his forces, that bull among kings, O monarch, proceeded for battle, accompanied by that unslaughtered remnant of his forces. Then, O chief of Bharata’s race, a terrible battle took place between the troops of the Kurus and those of the Pandavas, resembling that between the gods and the Asuras.

  • Talks with Ramana Maharshi

    Talks with Ramana Maharshi

    TALKS WITH SRI RAMANA MAHARSHI Volume One FOREWORD* The “Talks”, first published in three volumes, is now issued a handy one-volume edition. There is no doubt that the present edition will be received by aspirants all over the world with the same veneration and regard that the earlier edition elicited from them. This is not a book to be lightly read and laid aside; it is bound to prove to be an unfailing guide to increasing numbers of pilgrims to the Light Everlasting. We cannot be too grateful to Sri Munagala S. Venkataramiah (now Swami Ramanananda Saraswati) for the record that he kept of the “Talks” covering a period of four years from 1935 to 1939. Those devotees who had the good fortune of seeing Bhagavan Ramana will, on reading these “Talks”, become naturally reminiscent and recall with delight their own mental record of the words of the Master. Despite the fact that the great Sage of Arunachala taught for the most part through silence, he did instruct through speech also, and that too lucidly without baffling and beclouding the minds of his listeners. One would wish that every word that he uttered had been preserved for posterity. But we have to be thankful for what little of the utterances has been put on record. These “Talks” will be found to throw light on the “Writings” of the Master; and probably it is best to study them along with the “Writings”, translations of which are available. Sri Ramana’s teachings were not given in general. In fact, the Sage had no use for “lectures” or “discourses”.

The name has struck, because they constitute the concluding part of the Vedas. The word 'upanishad' is derived from a combination of three words, namely upa+ni+sad. 'Upa' means near, 'ni' means down and 'sad' means to sit. In ancient India the knowledge of the Upanishads was imparted to students of highest merit only and that also after they spent considerable time with their teachers and proved their sincerity beyond doubt. Once the selection was done, the students were allowed to approach their teachers and receive the secret doctrine from them directly. Since the knowledge was imparted when the students sat down near their teachers and listened to them, the word 'Upanishad', became vogue. The Upanishads played a very significant role in the evolution of ancient Indian thought. Many schools of Hindu philosophy, sectarian movements and even the later day religions like Buddhism and Jainism derived richly from the vast body of knowledge contained in the Upanishads.
