  • Gita Jayanti (Singapore)
    Editorial The great work of Vedanta, ‘Yoga Vasishta Maharamayana’ commences with a question by a seeker by name Sutikshna, who goes to the hermitage of the great Guru Agasti in search of answers. His question is of tremendous significance. He asks, “What is it that will bring final release from the bondage of life? Is it works or knowledge? Or both?”. To this question Agasti replies, “The birds do fly in the sky with the help of both their wings; just so is final liberation achieved through both knowledge and works. Neither of the two alone can bring release. Hence both knowledge and works are requisite for moksha.” This answer is of great relevance to students of Gita who are seekers of wisdom, at the same time living active lives in the world. Yoga Vasishta affirms that the highest Truths and realizations are very much for those living here and now. The whole question is how the works are performed in the world and also what is proper knowledge. Gita provides invaluable guidance on how the works are to be performed and also on spiritual wisdom. One needs to be both a dynamic and active personality whose works excel, all done as an offering, but at the same time being an instrument of the Lord, for the Universal music to flow through. Now, what is this knowledge or Jnana? Srimad Devi Bhagavatam throws light on this matter. It says there are two types of knowledge – (1) merely sound (Shabdakam) and (2) from deep experience (Anubhava Jnanam). By mere intellectual study, all one gets is the Shabdaka Jnana or auditory knowledge.

  • Supreme Master Ching Hai Recipient of Mahaveer Award
    AhimsaNewsletter of the Young Indian Vegetarians Summer 2008 - Issue No 51 Supreme Master Ching Hai recipient of Mahaveer Award Supreme Master Ching Hai attained full Enlightenment after a living Master in the Himalayas initiated Her into the Quan Yin Method or the contemplation of the inner Light and Sound. She has around 250,000 followers all over the world. She asks her followers to practice the Quan Yin Method of meditation, to be vegetarian or vegan and to show compassion to all living beings. Dear Friends Welcome to another issue of Ahimsa. The world is facing severe food shortage and the prospects of malnutrition and starvation in many parts of the world is very real. Already 25,000 people are dying every day from hunger related diseases. Human beings can avoid the impending catastrophe by giving up meat eating and abandoning biofuel production. In 2007 the global wheat harvest was the highest ever, around 2.1 billion tonnes. However in the last two years the US has diverted 60 million tonnes of food to fuel. This year the global production of biofuels will consume almost 100 million tonnes of grain. It takes 232 kg of corn to fill a 50 litre car tank with ethanol, enough to feed a child for a year. Add to these 760 million tonnes of grain that will be diverted to feed animals being raised for meat this year and you begin to see why there is not enough food to feed the world. The demand for meat is growing in China and India and for India this is a tragedy of immense proportion.

  • March 1999 Sankara Nethralaya Number21
    March 1999 Sankara Nethralaya Number21 Sankara Nethralaya’s New Horizon Any good organization needs to grow to meet increasing demands for its services while continuing to maintain the same excellence in quality. Sankara Nethralaya is no different. Founded in 1978 at a modest premise in Vijaya Hospital, Chennai, the hospital moved the very next year to its present location at 18 College Road, Chennai. This too proved insufficient and in 1983 the Sri V. Venugopal Block was inaugurated to house in-patients. The situation again demanded expansion after a few years and the answer to this was the opening of the new Mahyco Block in 1993. And now this is already proving to be too small! In what can be considered another important milestone in the hospital’s 20 year history, Sankara Nethralaya has acquired the neighbouring Willingdon Hospital. With ever increasing number of patients seeking treatment at Sankara Nethralaya and the long waiting list for operations, Willingdon comes as heaven sent opportunity to Sankara Nethralaya to expand its services to meed the demands of its patients will into the next century. Sankara Nethralaya’s Story of excellence is due to several factors not least of which is the continuous generous support of philanthropic organizations and individuals. You have strengthened our hands in our battle against blindness. We stand today at the dawn of the new millennium, with our newest addition to the Nethralaya family – Willingdon Hospital. We are ever hopeful that your support will allow us to continue to serve you to the best of our abilities for many days to come.
