Conclusion 39 Vaishvanara Vidya Vidya by by Swami Swami Krishnananda Krishnananda 21 PUBLISHERS’ NOTE The Vaishvanara Vidya is the famous doctrine of the Cosmic Meditation described in the Fifth Chapter of the Chhandogya Upanishad. It is proceeded by an enunciation of another process of meditation known as the Panchagni Vidya. Though the two sections form independent themes and one can be studied and practised without reference to the other, it is in fact held by exponents of the Upanishads that the Vaishvanara Vidya is the panacea prescribed for the ills of life consequent upon the transmigratory process to which individuals are subject, a theme which is the central point that issues from a consideration of the Panchagni Vidya. This work consists of the lectures delivered by the author on this subject, and herein are reproduced these expositions dilating upon the two doctrines mentioned.

  • By Veeraswamy Krishnaraj This Is Not the Official Site of Sri Guruvayoorappan Temple
    By Veeraswamy Krishnaraj This is not the official site of Sri Guruvayoorappan Temple. Guruvayurappan Temple had a humble beginning in a hall in the said address several years ago, though its greatness was not any less than now. Then, it was a modest shrine; its grandeur is yet to manifest. The devotees saw the girders rise against the azure sky with fluffy clouds. The building rose around the steel girders through rain, shine, storm and snow in the middle of the woods to the delight of the devotees and the astute planners. Its vista is spectacular. I tried to capture its beauty surrounded by verdant woods turning colors from spring to fall. The trees and the spring and the summer leaves bore witness to the devotees coming and going with reverence in their hearts. As the rains came down from the heavens, each leaf shed its tears of joy to see the temple rise from mother earth. The temple bears rainbow colors on its exterior and its architecture is wonderful. Could this location be Brindavanam of North America? Could this have been where Krishna sported with Gopis in His youth. Such thoughts come up in the mind. See the splash of colors in this portrait bearing witness to the colorful persona of Bhagavan Krishna. The Morganville Temple the namesake of Gurvayur Sri Krishna Temple in Kerala houses Guruvayoorappan as the central deity. Its broad appeal is that the temple houses other deities. The presiding deity is MahaVishnu in the form of Krishna with Tulasi garland, in standing posture with four hands carrying Sankhu (conch), Sudarshana chakram (a serrated disk), lotus and mace.

We reply as follows. We do not say that these two words are related as the remover and the removed. What then? The sense of non-duality which was not known earlier in respect of the inward Self signified by "thou" is predicated of it by "that". So, since by the removal of ignorance, what has been caused by it, viz. the sense of having a second which is included in the meaning of "thou" as well as the sense of mediacy which is included in the meaning of "that" is removed, there is no scope for defects such as the two words having different denotations mentioned by the critic.

  • Indian Model of Science & Technology
    SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE (Indian model of Science & Technology) By Prof.B.Kishor Professor of Mechanical Engineering (Retd) Indian Institute of Technology Banaras Hindu University VARANASI-221005 2019 1 SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE PROLOGUE One of our inputs for the present venture is the following excerpt from an eminent personality (D.Ikeda, founder of Soka University) published in The times of India of January 25, 2005: United Nations Organization says: For the next 10 years we must focus on education for sustainable development. Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs is sustainable. It includes aspects such as peace, environmental integrity and human rights, and requires us to reassess our concept of “progress”. The U.N. Earth Charter says, “…… it is imperative that we, the peoples of Earth, declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life and to future generations”. To achieve sustaibability, we will have to draw from the richest veins of human wisdom, both past and present. Our survival hinges on realizing a profound change within human beings themselves. Only orientation in the inner life of humanity will enable us to meet the daunting challenges that face us. To achieve this, eduation needs on enhancing and strengthing the following human capacities: The wisdom to perceive the interconnectedness of life and living; the courage not to fearor deny difference, but to respect and strive to undersand people of different cultures, and to grow from encounters with them; the compassion to maintain an imaginative empathy that reaches beyond one’s immediate surroundings and extends to those suffering in distant places.
