Shakatasura who came in the form of a shakata (cart) was killed by Krishna just with the kicking of his mild foot.

  • The Syamantaka Jewel
    The Syamantaka Jewel This game is to be played in a forest or large area with many hiding places and can last up to two hours. If the children do not already know the story of the Syamantaka jewel, the teacher should first narrate it to them. Two teams are formed. The first team leaves to hide an object, the Syamantaka jewel, deep in the forest. On their way they give clues of the trail to be followed. They draw arrows in the sand or the dirt. They make arrow signs with leaves or twigs. They draw arrows with chalk on tree trunks. They hang pieces of yarn or cloth on the branches of the trees. Now and then (every thirty yards [30m] or so) they hide a paper in a Syamantaka jewel at that stage of Krishna’s search for it. There are fourteen stages before the final recovery of the jewel, so they will hide fourteen messages. Then they finally hide the Syamantaka jewel, which can be an object like a ball. The second team starts the search about half an hour after the first group has gone. They must find each message and finally the jewel. The team hiding the Syamantaka jewel must be fast enough not to be seen or caught by the searching team. The papers to be hidden have the following numbered messages, in the order presented: 1. King Satrajit visits Dwaraka with the Syamantaka jewel. 2. Krishna requests Satrajit to offer the jewel to king Ugrasena. King Satrajit refuses and installs the jewel in the temple for worship.

  • Man Sacrifice
    MAN SACRIFICE Master E.K. MAN SACRIFICE Master E.K. Master E.K. Book Trust VISAKHAPATNAM – 530051 © Master E.K. Book Trust Available online: Master E.K. Spiritual and Service Mission www.masterek.org Institute for Planetary Synthesis www.ipsgeneva.com PREFACE Events exist to the created beings, and never to the creation. They are of two categories—the ordinary and the extraordinary. Events of the daily routine can be called the ordinary. Those that present themselves to change and rearrange the routine can be called the extraordinary. The daily routine of a living being, especially of a human being, includes only an expenditure of the span since there is no contribution in it to the expansion of consciousness. Food, sleep, fear, sex, profession, advantage and disadvantage are all of the divisions of the daily routine. The duration of their occurrence cuts out one’s span without contributing to the happiness of oneself or others. The only consequence (not benefit) of these routine incidents comes into existence as the growth of the body with age, the use of the senses and their organs along the patterns of habit and the sparkling of intelligence in a mechanised succession. The wise ones called the aggregate, the habit nature. One learns to seek happiness in the counterparts of the habit nature. Such a learning creeps in imperceptibly and is detected as “death” by the learned. Those who do not grow aware of PREFACE this interpret death in a different way. According to them, death is the inevitable disintegration of the physical body. It is evident that this definition is the result of gross illusion.

  • Using Wealth the Right Way & Experiencing the Highest Peace in Life
    WEALTH WISE (Using Wealth Wisely) (Translation Of) (SAMPATTI KA SADUPYOG) By Swami Girishanand Saraswati 1 Pujyapad Swami Girishanandji Saraswati A Brief Introduction. Pujyapad Swami Shri Girishanandji Saraswati’s outstanding personality, learning, and wisdom are the result of the unceasing Grace of Mahatmas. In his early life, Swamiji received tuition in Sanskrit from Swami Shankaranand Saraswati, who was an acknowledged authority of the six branches of Indian philosophy. He received teachings from the saintly monk, Shri Rotiram Baba in Gnan, bhakti and renunciation. Shri Rotiram Baba also gave him the name, Shri Girish Chaitanya. Swamiji came to Swami Shri Akhandanand Saraswati at Vrindavan when he was about seventeen years old. Daily talks on the Bhagwat Gita and the Upanishads were held at the Ashram every morning and evening. Swamiji would listen avidly, and meditate on what he heard, and simultaneously continued with his study of Sanskrit grammar and religious books. Pujya Shri Vamdevji (who also lived at the Ashram) tutored him on the Nyaya Siddhanta Muktavali, Sankhya Tattva Kaumudi, and other philosophical treatises. Maharajji’s senior most student, Shri Ramanujacharya instructed him in an in- depth study of the Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran. Swami Girishanandji’s intense study and Satsang sharpened his acute thirst for inner peace. After Param Pujya Mahrajji Shri Akhandanandji merged into the 2 Absolute, Swamiji traveled extensively to places of pilgrimage, meeting Mahatmas and having Satsang with them. The talks of Pandit Shri Ramkinkarji Maharaj gave him deep peace and joy. This renowned exponent of Shri Ramcharitmanas also inspired Swamiji to start giving discourses. On 8th September, 2009, Pujya Paramhansa Swami Shri Satyanandji Maharaj Graced Swamiji by initiating him into Sanyas, on the auspicious day of the birth day of his own Guru, Swami Shri Shivanandji Maharaj.

  • Krishna Rebel Women
    Krishna’s Life and Women Rebels Shri Krishna is one of the most amazing personality in Indian mythology and Indian Philosophy He has many unique facets • Son • Lover • Friend • Philosopher • Teacher • Savior • Husband • God Each one with its great attributes In this article we will see how Krishna is a reason for Rebel for many women on Indian History Radha’s Rebel against the societal norms “Ra” in Sanskrit means a call and “Dha” means one who runs Radha’s name itself talks about rebel- When Krishna calls her she runs to him According to some scripts Radha was already married, still she is considered as prime lover of Krishna, so much so that her name is taken before Krishna’s Name in some communities. They salute each other with a phrase “Radhe- Krishna” She is one who breaks all social norms by leaving her marriage Krishna-Radha love story is a metaphor for divine-human relationship, where Radha is the human devotee or soul who is frustrated with the past, obligations to social expectations and the ideas she inherited, who then longs for real meaning, the true love, the divine (Krishna). Rukmini and Her Rebel Against Her Own People Vidarbha was one of the ancient and powerful Kingdoms during Mahabharata. The ruler of this place was Bhishmak. Bhishmak had 5 sons and 1 daughter. Eldest among them was Rukmi and the name of princess was Rukmini. Rukmi wanted Rukmini to get married to Chedi King Shishupal, a strong enemy of Shri Krishna. The Strategy of Jarasandh, Shishupal and Rukmi was to encircle the new kingdom of Shri Krihna- Dwaraka and catch the trade advantages of both Mathura and Dwaraka.

  • Sanskar Gurukul Weekly Update
    Sanskar Gurukul Weekly Update Class Name: Kanwa Week# 20: March 03, 2013 General Assembly We started the GA with three Omkars followed by the Shanti Mantra. The mini-hall GA students did a good job chanting the first few verses of the Shishya- anushasanam. This was followed by all students chanting the same. Then Aparna Aunty talked specifically about the words "Shraddhaya deyam". It means to give with "shraddha". There is no one word in English which is equivalent to the sanskrit word Shraddha - it is a combination of devotion, reverence, strong faith, dedication. When you give to society, for example through volunteer work - do so with the sole purpose of helping / giving back, and not just to earn volunteer hours. Aparna Aunty then led everyone through a guided meditation session. Class We started the class with three Omkars followed by the Shanti Mantra. Students have been interested in Surya vamsha (solar race) and Chandra vamsha (Lunar race) and we went over the lineage as follows: Daksha and Aditi: SuryaManu or Vaivasvata Manu - the King of all mankind and the first human being on Earth. He had nine sons, and one daughter, Ila, who was married to Budha of the Lunar Dynasty). 1. Ikshvaku - the first prominent monarch of this dynasty, giving the dynasty another name the Ikshvaku dynasty. 2. Bhagiratha - Sagara's great-grandson, after strenuous penances, at last succeeded in bringing River Ganga down from Heaven. When she flowed over the remains of his ancestors, their souls were redeemed, and the ocean was refilled. Ganga also bears the name "Bhagirathi", in honor of his deed.
