Right Living Copyright © 2013 Nalini and Madhukar Dudhat Foundation Design and Develop By www.kpinfotech.co.in Introduction I, welcome you to the Brahma Vidya Course. This course is unique. Here, you are not only taught basic teachings as per Brahma Vidya Science but some breathing techniques also. Both teachings and breathing techniques are very important. They go hand in glove. If you follow the teachings and practice the exercises with sincerity, I assure you, they will benefit you immensely. There is no gimmick. It is a science, developed 5000 years back by our Rishis. Those who followed this practice have experienced tremendous changes in their personality. I am sure, within three to four months time you yourself will experience the change. The regular and sincere practice of Brahma Vidya will bring to you - • Improved physical health • Increased level of vitality • Positive shift in your attitude • Behaviour in present tense • Harmony within and experience silence • No confused mind, straight thinking and ability to see the things as they are. • Understand the divine purpose of life and your relationship with universe. The sum total, net result is, your life becomes graceful, purposeful, blissful and divine. This course is not restricted, confined to the persons practicing particular Faith or Religion. You may be a Hindu, a Muslim, a Christian, or a Sikh, and it does not matters . Brahma Vidya surely makes you a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Christian or a better Sikh infact above all a better person, a spiritual person and surely not a blind follower of particular Religion or rituals. Sex is no bar. Age is no bar. There is a misconception that spiritual science, Brahma Vidya is meant for old, retired persons. It is not time pass vocation. Remember, Brahma Vidya is a way of living your life. At an early age, at a young age if one inculcates the teachings and practice breathing exercises, pranayama, these young people can shape their lives, in a most desired, disciplined way. Here, I place before you most important doctrine, the ‘magna-carta’, constitution of Brahma Vidya - “ I have the power and ability to live as long as I desire to, achieve whatever I desire to do. I am master of my own life, the law of creation is the law of life.” Let us now understand how this Brahma Vidya originated. What inspired Rishis, wise men to develop this science 5000 years back? The reason is very simple. They observed that every person has a desire, an aspiration. He wants to do something, become something. Copyright © 2013 Nalini and Madhukar Dudhat Foundation Design and Develop By www.kpinfotech.co.in Introduction There is a proverb – As long as there is life there is hope and there is a desire. Every person wants to fulfill his goals, aspirations and reach the destination. All his efforts are in this direction. Nothing wrong in this, but something else also happens. The fulfillment of desire, aspiration brings happiness, and the very next moment new desire, thought, aspiration comes along on the screen of the mind. The happiness which when, one has derived by fulfilling the aspiration in the past, has already skipped away from him. Even people at the helm of affairs, running the statecraft, or coming from affluent class, experience that total satisfaction, total happiness is miles away from them. So, in search of this total satisfaction, total happiness, the wise men, the Rishis started experimenting. They moved little away from the city. They thought, they might find an answer to this question by remaining away from the day-to-day life, mundane life. In this process, they returned to the nature. They established their Ashrams, research centre by the riverbanks, or on mountaintops and from here they started experimenting on themselves. The experience they got from deep within formed the whole Brahma Vidya Science. This Brahma Vidya Science is a vast ocean. In today’s lecture, we will discuss simple observations that they made. First Observation they made was: - Tendency of the mind to exteriorize. Whatever one does, is the result of exteriorization of the mind. They called it ‘Kshipt–Manovritti’. We live in the world of objects, things, men and environment. We have ‘Panch nynendriya and Panch Karmendriya. With this, we interact in mundane life, our day-to-day life. The mechanism of exteriorization of the mind is simple. If one sees, his friend has purchased a new house, a new car; the mind suddenly goes into comparison, A thought comes to him that he should get the same. He thinks certain outside things and objects shall bring him happiness and satisfaction. This is half-truth. This is partial truth. The following observations, seers made i) Exteriorization of mind will never lead to total satisfaction. The reason is very simple - in process of possessing the things, to grab the things, if desire overrules him, he uses whatever means, even unfair means and the result is guilt and disturbance in the mind. By the time one desire is fulfilled the second is already in the queue. The process is continuous. ii) The real happiness called ‘Ananda’ cannot be experienced by running after objects or by possessing certain things. You may get some pleasurable sensation. There must be a shift in awareness, raise above concept of duality when one can experience contentment, bliss, Ananda. iii) They made – thoughts are inversely proportionate to total satisfaction. If there are more number of thoughts, there is crowding. Rush of thoughts in your mind, you drift way from bliss; you become disturbed, confused, and unsteady. The turbulent forces of thoughts create in mind more disharmony, disturbance. iv) The rishis concluded that if one can quieted one’s mind numbers of thoughts are automatically less. You move faster towards contentment, happiness. Copyright © 2013 Nalini and Madhukar Dudhat Foundation Design and Develop By www.kpinfotech.co.in Introduction The Rishis while in the company of nature started observing it. At a starry night if we look at the sky we become overwhelmed with the vastness and infinity. At the same time our consciousness expands, we loose body consciousness and become part of whole infinite universe. Question comes to our mind – • Who am I? • What is my relationship with this universe? • What is the force behind all creation, manifested world?” But we do not pursue the matter further. We say, God has created this world and leave the subject. But Rishis continued their observation. As per their observations if you understand what is the force behind the universe and you are nothing but part of that creative force, creative energy you are at different level of understanding. You are at different dimension. That dimension is beyond time and space. You are realized and enlightened person. So in the affirmation before meditation we say – • I am now entering upon the greatest teachings accessible to man, for I am learning the secret of existence. • The riddle of universe is about me and I am now solving it. If you understand the unified principle behind all manifested world, totality and behave as a part of totality you would be in the state of Ananda, bliss, peace, and tranquility. This is not as simple as it appears. What is the process? The process is, one has to go within oneself. It is journey within. In this journey, you have not to carry any burden, weight. When you go beyond body, mind and intellect, you can shed the burden of past and future. You go to the source within. They call it ‘Particha Pravas’- the process of going within. Now coming back to the observations made by Rishis, let us understand with example from day-to-day life –There was a young boy preparing for his examination, a brilliant student with good academic record. Once while studying he felt bogged down. Somewhere a thought came to his mind – his study is not up to the mark. What will happen, if he does not get good marks? Father is now retired. His mother has sold valuables to finance his studies. His sister is yet to get married. Copyright © 2013 Nalini and Madhukar Dudhat Foundation Design and Develop By www.kpinfotech.co.in Introduction If he fails what will happen? His family has invested in his career. He became disturbed. There were number of thoughts, question marks, one after another like a movie, came on his mind screen. Naturally he could not concentrate. His mind became disturbed. Nothing was going inside. He stopped reading, preferred to go for a stroll; for a walk. There he saw a beautiful, smart, smiling girl.

AtharvA taught what he had learned from his father to AngirA, who in turn taught it to SatyavAhA belonging to the clan of BharadvAjA. SatyavAhA passed that supreme knowledge in succession to Sage Angiras . sadagopan.org sadagopan.org sadagopan.org SaunakA, the celebrated grahasthA approached Sage Angiras and asked humbly: “O Illustrious sage! kasminnu BhagavO vig~nyAthE sarvamidham vig~nAtham bhavathee ? (What is that by the knowing of which all this becomes known?) Sage Angiras replied: "two kinds of knowledge needs to be known according to the knowers of Brahman. They are the higher knowledge (parA) and the lower knowledge (aparA)" Sage Angiras explained further that the lower knowledge is the Rig Veda, the Yajur VedA, the Saama VedA and Atharva VedA, SikshA (phonetics), kalpA (rituals), vyAkarNam (grammer), NirukthA (etymology), chandas (metre) and JyOthisham (astronomy); and the higher knowledge is that by which the imperishable Brahman is attained.

  • Ii Religion and Religious Traditions
    II RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS A. THEORETICAL AND COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES CHAPTER 3 Contextualising the category formation in Religious Studies Pratap Kumar In the present paper, I shall try to contextualise the process of category formation in the History of Religions. I shall do so in terms of my own area of specialisation; namely, Indian Studies. First of all, I shall outline the intellectual context of the West during the early eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Secondly, I shall outline the contemporary Religious Studies discourse on categories used in the field. Thirdly, I shall try to see the category formation in light of Hindu conceptualisations. Finally, I shall try to provide a cross-cultural exploration of the categories in Religious Studies discourse. In pursuing the above scheme, I shall limit myself to specific categories: ‘Hinduism’, ‘religion’, and ‘God’. I shall argue that these categories were not only western constructions to understand the ‘Hindu’ traditions in India, but also that, in the course of time, the nineteenth and twentieth century Hindu elite con­ sciously used the same categories, in their quest to spread Hindu ideals and worldviews in the West, as alternate models of conceptualising reality. As a result, those categories became assimilated into the consciousness of ordinary people in India and became reified to connote specific meanings. However, many contemporary scholars in the West are beginning to realise the inadequacies involved in using those categories in the context of Hindu traditions. This raises the problem of historical consciousness, in that the categories acquired by Hindus have become part of their worldview; attempting to remove them from their consciousness involves an inevitable regression.

  • Brahmavidya-Upanishad
    Sacred Text - 1 - Brahmavidya Upanishad ॄिवा उपिनषद (Brahmavidyā Upanishad) www.swargarohan.org Sacred Text - 2 - Brahmavidya Upanishad UPANISHADS: AN INTRODUCTION The word 'Upanishad' in Sanskrit language means upa (near), ni (down) and shad (to sit), which can be summed up as 'to sit down near' (and receive instructions). The teacher and student or a spiritual master and his disciples setting were not always prevalent in strict sense. In some cases, it was husband answering questions about immortality to his wife or a teenage boy was being taught by Yama (God of Death). The teachers, in some cases were women sages and the seekers of inspiration were kings. Besides dialogues, Upanishads also contain narrations, similes, metaphors, illustrations and symbolism. In the quietude of caves and monasteries or ashrams situated on the banks of holy Ganges, this mystic knowledge was exchanged for centuries. It can be said that Upanishads are collection of writings representing oral transmission of such knowledge. Most of the Upanishads are either commentary on or are an extension of four Vedas and in most cases constitute Vedanta (the end or an ultimate part of Veda). The characteristics of the Upanishads are their universality and the total absence of any dogmatism. Upanishads elaborate upon highest metaphysical state, beyond which is the realm of Silence. Upanishads are considered as the backbone of Hinduism. The thoughts expressed inside Upanishadic cluster forms the core of Indian philosophy. One can find doctrines of Karma (action), Yoga (union), Punarjanma (rebirth), moksha (liberation), atma (soul) and brahman (super soul), inside these scriptures. Upanishads also gives valuable insight into Hindu belief system behind the creation of universe and the reasons behind its sustenance.

So now the word ‘Vedanta’ has come to mean the philosophy rather than the Upanishads, the source material from which that phi- losophy is developed. The Upanishads are neither the work of one seer nor they reveal any explicit subject. They are documents ex- ploring the revelation of higher reality intuited by different Vedic seers at different times. These texts describing Brahmavidya are interpreted by ancient Indian philosophers variously and thus dif- ferent philosophical systems are constituted such as Kevala-advaita, Vishisht-advaita, Dvaita, Shuddh-advaita, Daita-advaita etc. Among them philosophy of Vedanta enunciated by Adi Shankar- acharya (788-820 A.D.) is called’ Kevalaadvaita’ It is also known as Shankara- Vedanta due to his immense contribution to Vedanta. In his life time, Shankara defeated in debate the followers of the path of Buddhism, Shaktism, Shaivism, Kapalikas etc. and 44 laLÑr&foe'kZ% established his doctrines of his Advaita Vedanta philosophy.
