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, 9th July 2017, Holy Gurpurnima Day 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 ***** Manah Shodhanam “Purification of the Mind” CONTENTS: ___________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION 2 Verse 1: The Two Obstructions to Self 4 Verse 2: Obstruction 1 - IGNORANCE 4 Verse 3: Obstruction 2 - IMPURITIES 5 PURIFICATION IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL 6 Verse 4: Good Karma Alone is Insufficient 6 Verse 5: Practice Remains Fruitless (Without Purification) 6 Verse 6: Conclusion – Purity is Absolutely Essential 7 SADHANAS FOR PURIFICATION 8 Verse 7: Conventional Sadhanas for Attaining Purity 8 Verse 8: Self-Enquiry – the Best Means 10 Verse 9: Lord Krishna’s Assurance 10 Verse 10: I Invoke His Blessings 10 Verse 11: What Are the Impurities? 12 Verse 12: Where to Find Them? 12 Verse 13: A Definition for the Wise – and the Otherwise 13 THE NATURE OF IGNORANCE 14 Verse 14: Ignorance – the Root of All Sorrow 14 Verse 15: Whence Joy & Sorrow? 14 Verse 16: Likes and Dislikes 15 Verse 17: The Cause of Suffering 16 NARADA’S 14-POINT ADVICE 16 Verse 18: Narada to Yudhisthira 16 Verse 19: Narada’s Advice 1 – The Four Root Weaknesses 17 Verse 20: Narada’s Advice 2 – The Inner Instruments 19 Verse 21: Narada’s Advice 3 – Four Types of Sorrow 20 Verse 22: Narada’s Advice 4 – The Three Gunas 21 CONCLUSION – SELF-EFFORT & GRACE 22 Verse 23: This Advice Has Helped Me 22 Verse 24: The Grace of God & Guru 23 Verse 25: Self-Abidance 23 Split-Sandhee Samskrit Format 16 Split-Sandhee English Transliterations 17 ***** 1 qÉlÉÈ wÉÉåkÉlÉqÉç MANAH SHODHANAM 25 Verses by Swami Tejomayananda on “Purification of the Mind” INTRODUCTION THIS BOOK IS ONE of the four books that comprise the “Sadhana Sopan” series written by Pujya Swami Tejomayanandaji. Jnana Sara (Text 12) and Dhyana Swaroopam (Text 15), are others in this series which we have studied. The series is dedicated to the theme of Sadhana or spiritual practices. The meaning of Manah Shodhanam is “purification of the mind”. The Vedantic term Chitta Shuddhi or “purity of mind” is that which is attained through Manah Shodhanam. This book therefore shows us the process or Sadhana by which Chitta Shuddhi can be achieved by seekers of Truth. What is Cleanliness of the Mind? To get dirty requires no effort. To be clean and to keep clean needs much effort. After having remained dirty for a long time, special means may be required to get rid of all accumulated dirt before the normal cleaning procedures can be resumed. It is the same with mental purity. There is a regular “bath” to clean the mind of the day’s dirt, and then there is also the intensive practice of special Sadhana to get rid of all the dirt that we have gathered over numerous births from time immemorial. We may not even know the exact nature of the dirt we have gathered, but it does not matter. There are prescribed means that do help to clear such dirt. Just as people may resort to short-cuts to ‘cleanse’ themselves by simply spraying a perfume on their bodies, so also some people think that mental purity can also be fixed through some quick cosmetic means. This is a delusion. Sweat and perfume do not make a “clean” combination – in fact, it is worse than dirt! Just as people start smelling when they do not get into clean clothes or do not have a regular bath, there is a distinct smell emitted by dirty minds also. Some people’s mental dirt is so strong that their minds ‘smell’ and people are repulsed by their very presence. There are also pure souls who attract others around themselves by the sweet fragrance of their purity. It is unmistakable. People speak of “magnetic aura” – it refers to the same sparkling purity radiated by a pure mind. Experiments have been conducted in which it has been proven that even plants respond to this aroma around people. Flowers droop in the presence of very negative people and conversely blossom out in the presence of those with positive emotions. We ourselves at times unconsciously move away from certain people or vice versa.

We pay respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. MESSAGES Premier of Queensland & Minister Welcome to the 2019 Australian Women in Music Awards. The Queensland Government is proud to support this showcase event for a second year. It is a fabulous way to pay tribute to the many talented women who are creating music or working behind the scenes to support Australia’s Annastacia Palaszczuk MP flourishing music industry. PREMIER OF QUEENSLAND MINISTER FOR TRADE We are delighted the Awards have returned to Queensland, home to some of this country’s finest female musicians. We recognise however, that while they have found success and been embraced by audiences the world over, there are many other gifted women just like them, right across Australia, who are struggling to break through because of gender barriers. Female artists tend to earn less than male performers, receive less airplay on Australian radio and hold little more than one-quarter of senior and strategic roles in key music industry associations. Shining a dedicated spotlight on these issues and recognising the exceptional work of female artists and industry professionals, is a vital step in creating greater visibility and opportunities for all Australian women in music. This is what these Awards are about. We congratulate this year’s winners, cheer on all those who are following MINISTERDi FOR Farmer CHILD SAFETY,MP YOUTH in their rhythmic footsteps, and wish everyone a memorable time AND WOMEN AND MINISTER FOR celebrating outstanding female talent.

  • Human Centred Design and Ancient Hindu Philosophy in the Context of Embracing Diversity and Building Coherent Working Environments
    ServDes.2020 – Tensions, Paradoxes, Plurality RMIT University, Melbourne Australia Human Centred Design and ancient Hindu philosophy in the context of embracing diversity and building coherent working environments Priyanka Rajwade [email protected] Mumbai Maharashtra, India Abstract This is an on-going study which aims to explore the correlation between Human Centred Design (HCD) and Hindu philosophy and how it can be leveraged to create a more inclusive design practice by blending philosophy with contemporary design contexts and methodologies. The social construct in India dictates that design that comes out of the West is a benchmark for excellence and I had followed this golden rule without realising that designs are meant for people and that their goals, emotions, challenges and aspirations change as per their contexts. As a designer, it is crucial to develop an understanding of how humans perceive the world, in what context and the relation between emotions and cognition, especially while designing for a larger world audience. The principles of HCD have a strong connection with learnings from ancient Hindu philosophy. This study intends to understand how we might take inspiration from ancient philosophy and embrace diversity to build coherent working environments. 235 Keywords: coherence, cultural diversity, design team building, Hindu philosophy, human centred design, inclusivity, thought diversity Introduction A designer’s work is influenced by a lot of factors, like who they are as a person, their upbringing, values, culture and language. I’ve been brought up in an Indian household where I was exposed to ancient philosophy since a young age. ‘Hindu’ philosophy gets its name from ‘Hinduism’ because the religion is the philosophy and vice versa which emphasises the need for practical realisation of oneself and the world around through lived experience and is not a system of dogmas (Vohra & Sarma, 2014).

  • The Bhāgavata PART II
    The Bhāgavata PART II The teaching of Srimad Bhagavata falls into three distinct parts according as it treats of (1) Sambandha or Relationship, (2) Abhidheya or the Function or Activity that pertains to the Relationship, and (3) Prayojana or Object or Fruit of such Activity. The aphorisms of the Upanishads, which contain the highest teaching of the Vedic literature, are presented in the form of a systematic body of knowledge under the heads of Sambandha, Abhidheya and Prayojana in the compilation of the Brahmasutra. In his ‘Satsandarbha’ Sri Jiva Goswami has applied the same method of treatment to the contents of the Srimad Bhagavata which is admitted to be the only authentic Bhasya or exposition of the Brahmasutra. But the first of the ‘six Sandarbhas,’ viz., the ‘Tattvasandarbha,’ applies itself to the elucidation of the epistemology of transcendental knowledge and discusses incidentally the purpose, definition and scope of the principles of classification of the Brahma-sutra. It supplies as it were the key to the knowledge that is detailed in the following five ‘Sandarbhas.’ It has made possible the comparative study of religion on the only admissible and scientific basis. Its main conclusions are summarised below.* Transcendental epistemology Sri Krishna, the Ultimate Reality, is One without a second.† Sri Krishna, the Absolute Integer, is distinct from His Shakti ‡ or counter whole including her integrated, and dissociable fractional parts in their synthetic and analytic manifestions. Sri Krishna is the Predominating Absolute. His Shakti is the predominated Absolute in the three positions of antaranges, tatastha and bahiranga respectively.§ Anteranga is that which pertains to the proper Entity of the Absolute Person.

  • Yoga As a Part of Sanātana Dharma
    Gejza M. Timčák Yoga as a Part of Sanātana Dharma The definition of religion is not easy as the views on this point Received December 12, 2018 are very different. The Indian Sanātana Dharma, the “Eternal Revised March 18, 2019 Accepted March 23, 2019 Order”, is how Indians call their system that has also a connotation that relates to what we call religion. What we understand as Yoga was defined by Patañjali, Svātmārāma, Gorakhnath, and other Yoga masters. Yoga is a part of Sanātana Dharma and is Key words Yoga, vedic religion, called Mukti Dharma, the “Dharma of Liberation”. Yoga as one Hinduism, Sanātana Dharma of the six orthodox philosophies is free from religious traits. The difference between the Indian and Western understanding of Sanātana Dharma is investigated from a practical point of view reflected in the literature and in a dialogue with Indian pandits. The reflection of the Western (namely Christian) understanding of Indian Sanātana Dharma and its effect on the way how Christians look at Yoga is also mentioned. 24 Spirituality Studies 5-1 Spring 2019 GEJzA M. TIMčáK 1 Introduction The topic of Yoga and its relation to religion are an issue that is a matter of discussion for some time. For some, religion and darshan, “philosophy”, are nearly synonyms, for some they are not.

  • Vedanta and Buddhism Final Enlightenment in Early Buddhism Frank Hoffman, West Chester University
    Welcome to the Nineteenth International Congress of Vedanta being held on the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth campus. It is very exciting to think that the Vedanta Congress now is being held in the land of the “Boston Brahmins” Thoreau, Emerson and Whitman. It is very heartening to note that a large number of scholars are regular attendees of the Vedanta Congress, several are coming from India. We wel- come them all and are committed to help them in any way we can, to make their stay in Dartmouth pleasant and memorable. Our most appreciative thanks are due to Rajiv Malhotra and the Infinity Foun- dation and Pandit Ramsamooj of 3 R's Foundation for their generous financial support for holding the conference. We are particularly grateful to Anthony Garro, Provost, and William Hogan, Dean of College of Arts and Sciences, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth for his continuous support of the Center for Indic Studies.
