ARSHA VIDYA GURUKULAM 34th Anniversary Souvenir September 20, 2020 In Celebration of the 90th Jayanti of Pujya Sri Swami Dayananda Saraswati न िह ानने सश ं पिवऽम इ् ह िवते na hi jñānena sadṛśaṁ pavitram iha vidyate “In this word, there is indeed no purifier equivalent to knowledge” (Bhagavad Gītā, 4.38) Anniversary Message Swami Dayananda Saraswati In day-to-day life, you need a lot of grace. .That is the beauty of grace. You have to earn the grace of the guru. It may be easily available, but you have to earn it with śraddhā and bhakti. With śraddhā, in seeking knowledge you go through what is taught again. You need not write it down–keep it in your mind and ruminate over that. That is earning the guru’s grace. When the guru’s grace is there, the words of the śāstra he teaches become real to you. They become a reality. In fact, you become that reality. The guru’s grace will help you cross the distance between understanding and having the words. It is called lakṣya; that lakṣya is accomplished by guru’s grace. May all enjoy guru’s grace, Īśvara’s grace, śāstra’s grace, and one’s own grace. We all live in grace. We live upon grace. May the grace of all the sources of grace be with you all. Page Sponsored by Nalini and Prabhu Dev 3 4 Anniversary Message Swami Viditatmananda Saraswati We are happy that, with the support of the devotees, well-wishers and donors, we are able to celebrate this 34th anniversary of the Gurukulam in spite of the difficulties posed by the pandemic. We are happy to welcome you on this joyous occasion. This year marks the 90th birth anniversary and the 5th Nirvana Jayanti of Pujya Swamiji and it is our privilege to dedicate this souvenir in the memory of the great Mahatma. As the name suggests Pujya Swamiji was an embodiment of Daya or compassion. Swamiji used to say in a lighter tone: There is one thing that I cannot manage, and that is my compassion. Pujya Swamiji had unbound compassion which sometimes became even reckless. And we all received the shower of that compassion in different ways. Pujya Swamiji also used to say: Give the world the best you have and the best will come back to you. We seek Pujya Swamiji’s blessings so that the Gurukulam continues to remain the center of compassionate contribution to the world of spiritual seekers. With best wishes and love, 5 ARSHA VIDYA GURUKULAM cordially invites you to attend our 34th Anniversary Celebration Sunday, September 20, 2020 9:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. ~ PROGRAM ~ ~ Music Concert ~ ~ Anniversary Address ~ ~ Banquet Lunch ~ Pandit Mukesh Desai Swami Tattvavidananda Question-Answer Session “KsamË” (Forgiveness) (after lunch) Swami Tattvavidananda Location: New Lecture Hall (near yoga studio) Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, P.O.

But one doesn’t generally feel like ṛṣi. Ṛṣi is one who knows, or sees, so a ṛṣi is a Seer. Seer of this. A desirer in the beginning is a desirer in the middle and what? He is a seer of what is, of things that others don’t see. continues to be a desirer at the end. As a child you were a desirer, Vidyā means knowledge, that which is opposed to error and and when you reach ninety you are still a desirer. That you are a ignorance. Thus, ārṣa-vidyā means knowledge of the ṛṣis. We desirer is a reality. If this reality is true, then you have no chance have a body of knowledge coming down from generation to of finding fulfillment in your life.

    Philosophy in Classical India the Proper Work of Reason

    Philosophy in Classical India The proper work of reason Jonardon Ganeri London and New York 2Rationality, emptiness and the objective view 2.1 THOUGHT AND REALITY Is reality accessible to thought? Could it not be that there are limits on our cognitive capacities, and the way the world is, whatever that might be, is something beyond our powers of understanding? What there is in the world might extend beyond what we, in virtue of our natural cognitive endowment, have the capacity to form a conception of. The thesis is a radical form of scepticism. It is a scepticism about what we can conceive rather than about what we can know. Nagarjuna (c. AD 150), founder of the Madhyamaka school of Indian Buddhism, is a radical sceptic of this sort. Indeed, he is still more radical. His thesis is not merely that there may be aspects of reality beyond the reach of conception, but that thought entirely fails to reach reality. If there is a world, it is a world about which we can form no adequate conception. Moreover, since language expresses thought, it is a world about which we cannot speak. Where the reach of thought turns back, language turns back. The nature of things (dharmata) is, like nirvana, without origin and without decay. (MK 18.7) Not dependent on another, calm, not conceptualised by conception, not mentally constructed, not diverse – this is the mark of reality (tattva). (MK 18.9) This indeed is for Nagarjuna the true meaning of the Buddha’s teachings, a meaning so disruptive to common reason that the Buddha was reluctant to spell it out.

Introduction The Invention of an Ethnic Nationalism he Hindu nationalist movement started to monopolize the front pages of Indian newspapers in the 1990s when the political T party that represented it in the political arena, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP—which translates roughly as Indian People’s Party), rose to power. From 2 seats in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian parliament, the BJP increased its tally to 88 in 1989, 120 in 1991, 161 in 1996—at which time it became the largest party in that assembly—and to 178 in 1998. At that point it was in a position to form a coalition government, an achievement it repeated after the 1999 mid-term elections. For the first time in Indian history, Hindu nationalism had managed to take over power. The BJP and its allies remained in office for five full years, until 2004. The general public discovered Hindu nationalism in operation over these years. But it had of course already been active in Indian politics and society for decades; in fact, this ism is one of the oldest ideological streams in India. It took concrete shape in the 1920s and even harks back to more nascent shapes in the nineteenth century. As a movement, too, Hindu nationalism is heir to a long tradition. Its main incarnation today, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS—or the National Volunteer Corps), was founded in 1925, soon after the first Indian communist party, and before the first Indian socialist party.

It is presently in daily use by millions of people in India , Nepal , Sri Lanka ,China , Tibet, and Pakistan . It is now in practice for health care in Europian countries.

    Phenomenological Materiality in Introspection, with a Reference to Advaita Vedanta

    Open Theology 2017; 3: 257–273 Phenomenology of Religious Experience Open Access Olga Louchakova-Schwartz* Qualia of God: Phenomenological Materiality in Introspection, with a Reference to Advaita Vedanta DOI 10.1515/opth-2017-0021 Received March 14, 2017; accepted April 26, 2017 Abstract: Applying Michel Henry’s philosophical framework to the phenomenological analysis of religious experience, the author introduces a concept of material introspection and a new theory of the constitution of religious experience in phenomenologically material interiority. As opposed to ordinary mental self-scrutiny, material introspection happens when the usual outgoing attention is reverted onto embodied self-awareness in search of mystical self-knowledge or union with God. Such reversal posits the internal field of consciousness with the self-disclosure of phenomenological materiality. As shown by the example of Vedantic self-inquiry, material introspection is conditioned on the attitude ‘I “see” myself’ and employs reductions which relieve phenomenological materiality from the structuring influence of intentionality; the telos of material introspection is expressed by the inward self-transcendence of intentional consciousness into purified phenomenological materiality. Experience in material introspection is constituted by the self-affection and self-luminosity of phenomenological materiality; experience is recognized as religious due to such essential properties as the capacity of being self- fulfilled, and specific qualitative “what it’s like”(s).

D’Andrea’s is an insightful study of expressive indi- vidualism manifested in and through key cosmopolitan sites. This book is an 5 invaluable contribution to the anthropology/sociology of contemporary culture, 6 and presents required reading for students and scholars of new spiritualities, 7 techno-dance culture and globalization. 8 Graham St John, Research Fellow, 9 School of American Research, New Mexico 20111 1 D'Andrea breaks new ground in the scholarship on both globalization and the shaping of subjectivities. And he does so spectacularly, both through his focus 2 on neomadic cultures and a novel theorization. This is a deeply erudite book 3 and it is a lot of fun. 4 Saskia Sassen, Ralph Lewis Professor of Sociology 5 at the University of Chicago, and Centennial Visiting Professor 6 at the London School of Economics. 7 8 Global Nomads is a unique introduction to the globalization of countercultures, 9 a topic largely unknown in and outside academia. Anthony D’Andrea examines 30111 the social life of mobile expatriates who live within a global circuit of counter- 1 cultural practice in paradoxical paradises. 2 Based on nomadic fieldwork across Spain and India, the study analyzes how and why these post-metropolitan subjects reject the homeland to shape an alternative 3 lifestyle. They become artists, therapists, exotic traders and bohemian workers seek- 4 ing to integrate labor, mobility and spirituality within a cosmopolitan culture of 35 expressive individualism.

  • Eeotheologieal Dimensions of Termite Hill

    Eeotheologieal Dimensions of Termite Hill

    Eeotheologieal Dimensions of Termite Hill NANDKUMAR KAMAT ECOLOGY is most fundamental to the survival of human cultures and populations. Ecological resources are exploited by humans for creation of an artificial hierarchy of eco-systems. Technologies are evolved for efficient transfer of ecological resources. During this course of material and technological evolution symbols, motifs are absorbed; rituals are formulated, cults emerge through common symbols and rituals; gods and goddesses; demons and devils; spirits and angels assume forms and shapes and religious systems befitting the levels of technology get rooted. Magic is related to technology. Primitive agricultural and fertility magic could be considered as monopolised knowledge of stagnated, unevolved or dynamic technology depending upon the ecological specificity of each culture. The common determinants of ecological specificity of any region are soil and climate.1 The ecological dimensions of historical theology have to be examined from these common determinants. In this regard, the cults of earth-mother worship as found in South Konkan and Goa, could be test cases. Scientific elucidation of these cults and demystification of various beliefs, legends and rituals associated with them is necessary to find the true meaning of several historical phenomena. As A.C. Spawlding says, Hhistorians depend on a type of explanation that they claim is different from scientific explanation. While in fact, no separate form of historical explanation exists. "2 - Many quasi and pseudo-historical forms of explanations3 exist for the cult of Santeri, Ravalnatha, Skanda-Kartikeya, 84 Subhramanya and Muruga, Renuka, Parashurama and Yellamma, Jyotiba, Khandoba and Durga4. Mostly these are propagated through brahminic literature and sometimes through the folklore.

    Swami Dayananda Saraswati You Cannot Manage a Situation Unless You Know Exactly What Is Happening. the Inner Responses Are Allow

    HELPLESSNESS AND SEEKING HELP1 Swami Dayananda Saraswati You cannot manage a situation unless you know exactly what is happening. The inner responses are allowed to happen for want of a proper insight and knowledge. You want to have the capacity to manage every happening properly so that you do not deliver yourself into the hands of likes and dislikes, into the hands of anger, frustration and its roots. You are working towards that capacity. I am absolutely helpless in the event of a reaction. I seem to have no power over this anger. Please understand that it takes a lot of courage to accept helplessness. Unless I have the courage to accept helplessness I can never grow out of it. I will not seek help even if it is available. It is like the man who was an alcoholic. When someone asked him, “Why do you take alcohol every day?” he replied, “I am not an alcoholic. I can give up alcohol any day.” This response is more from the alcohol than from the person. A man who wants to give up alcohol has to first accept the fact that he has no power over alcohol. Similarly, I must know intimately that I have no power over my anger, my sorrow, depression, and frustration. Some people advice, “Don’t get depressed”. Very often religious teachers become advisers. Nobody seems to really understand what is going on. A person does not choose to get depressed; it just happens. Equally that person cannot choose not to be depressed. There is no point in advising someone not to get depressed.
