    Baghawat Geeta, Class 138: Chapter 10, Verses 33 –

    Baghawat Geeta, Class 138: Chapter 10, Verses 33 – 35 Shloka # 33: अक्षराणामकारोऽस्िम द्वन्द्वः सामािसकस्य च। अहमेवाक्षयः कालो धाताऽहं िवश्वतोमुखः।।10.33।। Aksaranam, of the letters; I am the akarah, letter a. Samasikasya, of the group of compound words, I am the compund (called) Dvandva. Besides, aham eva, I Myself; am the aksayah, infinite, endless; kalah, time, well known as ‘moment’ etc.; or, I am the supreme God who is Kala (Time, the measurer) even of time. I am the dhata, Dispenser, the dispenser of the fruits of actions of the whole world, visvatomukhah, with faces everywhere. Akshara: Continuing his teaching, Swamiji said, we are seeing Sri Krishna continue enumeration of the glories of Ishwara. In Shloka # 33, he said that among Aksharas I am Aa. Sarasvati Devi is in the form of Alphabetic letters. Even among all letters Aa is most sacred. It is sacred because it is a basic letter that emerges from our mouth without doing anything to the mouth. Thus sounds such as E, U come about by some modification to the mouth whereas Aa is an effortless sound of the mouth. Akara is also a flexible sound that can be modified into other alphabets. Hence Aa kara is considered Karana aksharam, causal sound, while all other alphabets are considered Karya Aksharam, the effect. Vedas say that A Kara manifests as all other letters. It says all letters are a modification of Aa. In our tradition every alphabet has a presiding deity. The presiding deity of Aa is Brahmaji, the Creator of the world.

Globalization of disease1 has led the world to be only as resilient as the least resilient country and person2, especially for highly contagious COVID-19 which has spread with scale and severity not seen since Spanish flu3. The variants of the virus (such as B.1.617.2 Delta4, Delta Plus, Epsilon, Gamma5) continue to threaten even those vaccinated. Secondary diseases such as black fungus are targeting COVID patients6 and killing almost one in two persons in such cases7. 2. Distorted policy decisions and conflicting principles can lead to polarizations amongst nations and within, leading to various extremes such as – the hoarding of vaccines8 in some places, the wastage of vaccines9 in others, and an unaddressed shortage of vaccines globally10. 3. The pandemic has exposed the fragility11 of the global system. The disruption in the supply chain is especially worrisome for essential food supplies12 which disproportionately affects the already most vulnerable even more. 4. Lockdowns have brought the global economy into crisis13 bringing recessions14 and worsening unemployment rates15. Frequent lockdowns and the ongoing threat of famine16, especially in countries where employment is predominantly informal, are exacerbating worries that 1 Webb, J. (2015).

    The Mother of All Mantras: the Gayatri by Colleen Cackowski with Prince Hirindra Singh

    The Mother of all Mantras: The Gayatri by Colleen Cackowski with Prince Hirindra Singh Living in times of financial and material success for many people has resulted in stress, depression, and mental imbalance. This has resulted in our dependence on modern medicine, on eating wrong or too much food and engaging in other addictive behaviors due to stress and other factors. This dependence is not a permanent solution. It is a temporary distraction from the inner spiritual quest that leads to a permanent solution and balance between the body, mind and spirit. Western culture gives importance to personal gain, both physical and financial. It ignores the inner development of the soul and spirit to a new awakening. When we pass from this world, we do not take our successes and money with us. In order to find a balance between our spiritual development and financial successes, we find ourselves seeking the answers in the ancient wisdom of India, written in the books of knowledge called the Vedas .The Indian sages well understood this paradox of life, and tapped into the nature of the inner universe to find a deeper meaning to life. It is very important to know and be aware of this phenomenon. Reciting any mantra is a powerful practice that speeds the path and clears the obstacles in the way of reaching realization. Among the many mantras one may choose, the Gayatri Mantra is one of the most beneficial. The Gayatri uses solar energy vibrations of the Sun to recharge our metabolism in each and every cell in our body and mind.

    Influence of Vishnusmriti in Sankardevas

Teacher, Abstract Rangia H.S. School, Dharmasastra is a collection of ancient Sanskrit texts which gives the codes of conduct and moral Rangia, Assam, India principles of dharma, for sanatana dharma. Dharmasastras are the sacred law books which prescribe moral laws and principles for religion. There are eighteeen dharmasastras or smritisastras in sanatana religion. Some important of them are- Yajnavalkya smriti, Vishnusmriti, parasara smriti, Gautamasmriti and Naradasmriti etc. These are sacred literature based on human memory as distinct from the vedas, which are considered to be shruti, literary “What is heard or the product of divine revelation most modern Hindus, however, have a greater familarity with these smriti scriptures. In the North East i.e. Assam Sankaradeva preached the eka-sarana-hari-nama-dharma. Sankardeva studied various Hindu scriptures- Fourvedas, all philosophical scriptures, fourteen sastras,all puranas, dharmasastras i.e. smritisastras also. Sankardeva basically brought the essance of Vishnubhakti from Vishnusmriti to preach his hari-nama-dharma. Vishnusmriti has a strong bhakti orientation requering daily aradhana to the God Vishnu. The Vishnusmriti is divided into one hundred chapters, consisting mostly of prose text but including one or more verses at the end of each chapter. Vishnusmriti is called the Vaishnava dharmasastra.

As I begin the difficult task of writing this book, in order to attain a good result I first take shelter of my parama-guru, my worshipable Deity, Lord Caitanya. The name Caitanya means the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the form of pure knowledge (cit), who is worshiped by all the universes, and who among all Deities has the most perfect transcendental knowledge.
