Glossary to the Record of Yoga Glossary to the Record of Yoga Introductory Note Status. Work on this glossary is in progress. Some definitions are provisional and will be revised before the glossary is published. Scope. Most words from languages other than English (primarily San- skrit), and some English words used in special senses in the Record of Yoga, are included. Transliteration. Words in italics are Sanskrit unless otherwise indi- cated. Sanskrit words are spelled according to the standard interna- tional system of transliteration. This has been adopted because the same Sanskrit word is often spelled in more than one way in the text. The spellings that occur in the text, if they differ from the transliter- ation (ignoring any diacritical marks over and under the letters), are mentioned in parentheses. The sounds represented by c, r.,ands´ or s. in the standard transliteration are commonly represented by “ch”, “ri”, and “sh” in the anglicised spellings normally used in the Record of Yoga. Order. All entries, regardless of language, are arranged in English al- phabetical order. Words and phrases are alphabetised letter by letter, disregarding diacritics, spaces and hyphens. Compounds and phrases. A compound or phrase composed of words that do not occur separately in the text is normally listed as a unit and the words are not defined individually. Compound expressions consisting of words that also occur by themselves, and thus are defined separately, are listed in the glossary only if they occur frequently or have a special significance. Definitions. The definition of each term is intended only as an aid to understanding its occurrences in the Record of Yoga. It may not include all the meanings a word has in the original language. On the other hand, it may include meanings that are not found in dictionaries of the language, since Sri Aurobindo adapted many words to his own needs in referring to his yogic experiences. The definitions take into account Sri 2 Glossary to the Record of Yoga Aurobindo’s own explanations, the contexts in which the terms occur, and the relations between the Record of Yoga and his other writings. Quotations. Direct quotations from Sri Aurobindo’s writings are indi- cated by quotation marks. Cross-references. Words in bold type in the definitions are defined in the glossary. Searching. When searching for a definition, enter the term in either of two ways: 1. Type the term as it is spelled in the text. This should find either (a) the definition you are looking for, or (b) an entry that will show the transliteration of the term under which the definition can be found using the next method. 2. Type a period / full stop (.) and the transliterated spelling without diacritical marks. Typing a period / full stop before the transliteration will find the entry where the term is defined rather than occurrences of it in compounds or in definitions of other terms. Example: Searching for “sparsha” (as it is spelled in the text) finds the entry for the compound “agneya-spar¯ sa´ (agneya-sparsha)”, which shows that the transliteration of “sparsha” is “sparsa´ ”. Searching for “.sparsa” finds the definition of sparsa´ , skipping over other expressions containing this word. A .abhasaabh¯ asa¯ — appearance; (in Bengali) glimmer, hint. .abhavaabh¯ ava¯ — entry into the being from outside. .abhaya (abhaya; abhayam) — fearlessness; passive courage, “freedom from fear which with a bold calmness meets and receives every menace of danger and shock of misfortune”, an attribute of the ks.atriya. .abhayam —seeabhaya. .abhayaabhayam,m,˙ ssahasa,ahasa,¯ atma atmaslagha,¯ sl´ agh¯ a,¯ yayasolipsasolips´ a¯ (abhayam, sahasa, atmasla- gha, yasholipsa) — fearlessness, daring, self-confidence, the urge to- wards victory (the attributes of the ks.atriya). .abhayaabhayam,m,˙ ssahasam,ahasa¯ m,˙ yayasolipsa,solips´ a,¯ atma atmaslagha,¯ sl´ agh¯ a,¯ iti ksksatratejah.atratejah. (abhayam, sahasam, yasholipsa, atmaslagha, iti kshatratejah) — fearlessness, dar- ing, the urge towards victory, self-confidence: these express the energy of the ks.atriya temperament.

There is no difference of opinion among scholars that the original habitat of the peacock is India，or more pre­ cisely Southern India. We have the authority of the Bible* to show that the peacock was one of the Commodities5 that India exported to the Holy Land in ancient times. This splendid bird had reached Athens by 450 B.C. and had been kept in the island of Samos earlier still. The peacock bridged the cultural gap between the Aryans who were * I Kings 10:22 For the king had at sea a navy of Thar，-shish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Thar’-shish bringing gold, and silver，ivory, and apes，and peacocks.

    Disclaimer: Please note this is only a raw translation for the purpose of Dec 2014 parayan, please do not circulate or share. Aptavani 3 [CH 7 ] A Series of Questions About the Self! Difference, Based on Veils of Ignorance! Questioner: Does the body exist on the basis of the Self (Atma) or does the Self (Atma) exist on the basis of the body? Dadashri: If the Self (Atma) is there, then the body „stands‟ (lives). Questioner: The Atma of an agnani (one without Self-realization), the Atma of a Gnani (One with Self-realization) and the Atma of One who has attained moksha (final liberation); what is the difference in the energies of these three? What can the Siddhas (absolutely liberated Ones) do? The omniscient One (Sarvagnya) can do whatever He wishes. Dadashri: The Atma of the agnani appears to be in bondage (bandhan), whereas the Atma of the Gnani is in freedom-bondage (abandha-bandha). From certain perspectives, it appears to be bound, and from other perspectives, it appears to be unbound. Whereas the absolutely liberated Ones (Siddha Bhagwanto) always remain free (abandha), they remain in moksha only. The absolutely liberated Ones are no longer in a position to „do‟ anything. Only One (Gnani Purush) with a body (dehadhari) can do whatever He wishes. The energy of the absolutely liberated Ones is completely developed, but it is of no use to anyone. Questioner: By its swabhaav (inherent nature), by its gunadharma (intrinsic properties that have a specific function), (the Self) is indeed the same; then on what basis is there a difference in the energies? Dadashri: That difference is on the basis of avaran (veil of ignorance).

  • The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa SALYA
    The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa SALYA PARVA translated by Kesari Mohan Ganguli In parentheses Publications Sanskrit Series Cambridge, Ontario 2002 Salya Parva Section I Om! 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.

From that day on, this simplest yet most profound of teachings was handed down from one generation to the next. At least this is the story that was first recorded a thousand years later, but in China, not in India. Apparently Zen was too simple to be noticed in the land of its origin, where it remained an invisible teaching.

  • Holy Engagement
    Holy Engagement Compiled from informal discourses given by The Founder-acharyya of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math Srila B. R. Sridhar Dev-Goswami Mahraj Under the direction of the present Acharyya Srila B. S. Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj Transcribed by Sri Mahananda Dasa Bhakti Ranjan Introduction Divine Transformation An expert from Chapter 3 of Jaiva Dharmma written by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur (Translated by Sripad B.A. Sagar Maharaj) One evening, a few hous after nightfall, Sannyasi Thakura sat alone, singing the Holy Name. He was seated on a small mound in a lonely arbour of Sri Godruma forest. As he cast his glance northward, the full moon rose, revealing an unprecedented beauty throughout the Holy Abode of Sri Nabadwip. A short distance away, Sri Mayapur became visible. Sannyasi Thakura exclaimed, „O! What is this wonder? I see an ecstatic holy place. There, constructed of precious jewels, are an effulgent palace, a temple, and gateways. The entire bank of the Jahnavi River is illuminated by their brilliance. In many places at once, a tumultuous roar of Hari-nama Sankirttana is arising, vibrating through the skies. And now hundreds of devotees resembling the celestial sage Narada are vibrating vinas, chanting the Holy Name and dancing. Somewhere, the white-complexioned god of gods, Mahadeva, is clutching his Dambaru drum, crying, ‚O Visvambhara, please give me Your mercy!’ Dancing in a mad frenzy, he now falls to the ground. Somewhere else, four-headed Lord Brahma, seated in the assembly of Veda-reciting Rsis, is singing the Vedic mantra, mahan prabhur vai purusah sattvasyaisah pravarttakah, sunirmmalam imam praptim isano jyotir avyayah „That Supreme Person is Mahaprabhu; He alone is the Source of our enlightenment.

    June 1998 This Makes One Attain the State of Vitaragata EDITORIAL The one who remains in a state of vitarag (absolute, as the Knower only) is able to make others recognize the state of vitaragata (total absence of attachment and abhorrence). Where in the world can true vitaragata be seen? If there is dehadhyas (belief that ‘I am the body), there is attachment-abhorrence, kashay (anger-pride-deceit-greed), then conduct full of attachment- abhorrence is only seen. Otherwise, if an example of vitaragata is present, then others like it will indeed follow! Vitaragata cannot be accomplished through efforts. It is when you see and identify such vitarag people that it begins to arise within you. In worldly life only greed-money-sexuality-illusory attachment-pride-prestige are to be seen. The societal influence has become so strong that one makes an effort only to move towards these things. Vitaragata cannot be acquired by running away from all of this into the jungle or deep into Himalayas. Vitaragata is an internal state, which remains in spite of being in worldly interaction. When One attains the Gnan (Knowledge of the Self), dweshbhaav (view of abhorrence) comes to an end becomes vitadwesh (free from abhorrence). No matter how much anybody insults or harms him, the intent of taking revenge within him has completely dissolved. And further, as one keeps settling every favorable or unfavorable circumstance or person with equanimity, the stage of vitaragata begins accordingly. Ultimately one enters the state of absolute vitaragata. In the present compilation of Gnani Purush Dadashri’s speech, different incidents of worldly interaction, detailing of the characteristics (lakshan) of vitaragi Purush (One who is absolutely enlightened) are described.
