Spiritual Quest (Answers by Sri Samavedam Shanmukha Sarma) What is the significance of numbers in ‘Aṣṭōttara śata ṁ’ (108) ‘Aṣṭōttara sahasraṁ’ (1008)? These numbers denote totality. ‘yēkaṁ advitīyaṁ brahma’ – ‘1’ denotes the ‘ONE’ Parabrahman. ‘0’ or ‘00’ denotes the transient world. ‘8’ denotes prakrti̥ i.e. Nature consisting of the Five Elements (Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth), Mind, Intellect, and the ego of the self. ‘Bhūmi rāpōnalō vāyu: Khaṁ manō buddhirēvaca ahaṅkāra itīyaṁ bhinnā prakrtirḁ ṣṭadhā’ said Srimad Bhagavad Gita. Scholars described that ‘Parabrahman – World – Nature’ are indicated by the above numbers. Mahābhārata says, ‘Viśvaṁ śataṁ sahasraṁ sarvaṁ akṣaya vācakaṁ’ i.e. śataṁ (100), sahasraṁ (1000), sarvaṁ - All these words denote infiniteness. The Supreme God as well as His efficacies (mahima), plays (līlās), and characteristics (guṇās) are infinite. But, humans lack the infinite capacity to venerate this infiniteness of the Supreme. Hence, recitation and chanting of stotras with this number aids in connecting our mind with the infiniteness present therein. That’s why the numbers śataṁ and sahasraṁ became very prominent in worship. Once ‘8’ is added to these numbers (100, 1000), they add up to ‘9’. ‘9’ number is the total and complete energy. All numbers are present in the number ‘9’. Thus, 108/1008 became symbolic for being holistic. Copyright © 2019 | Rushipeetham Charitable Trust.

    THE PALGRAVE MACMILLAN ANIMAL ETHICS SERIES Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics Kenneth R. Valpey The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series Series Editors Andrew Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK Priscilla N. Cohn Pennsylvania State University Villanova, PA, USA Associate Editor Clair Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the ethics of our treatment of animals. Philosophers have led the way, and now a range of other scholars have followed from historians to social scientists. From being a marginal issue, animals have become an emerging issue in ethics and in multidisciplinary inquiry. Tis series will explore the challenges that Animal Ethics poses, both conceptually and practically, to traditional understandings of human-animal relations. Specifcally, the Series will: • provide a range of key introductory and advanced texts that map out ethical positions on animals • publish pioneering work written by new, as well as accomplished, scholars; • produce texts from a variety of disciplines that are multidisciplinary in character or have multidisciplinary relevance.

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.

  • Mandukya Upanishad Class 75
    Mandukya Upanishad Class 75 Gowdapadha first established the glory of Brahma vidya by refuting sankya, naiyayika, bowdha philosophers. Thereafter he presented the example of fire brand, establishing brahma sathyam jagat mithya; adwaidam sathyam dvaidam mithaym. Then he presented, in 75th to 82nd verses vedanta sara; now he is entering into the cause of samsara and its remedy. Our fundamental problem is ignorance of advaidam or thuirya agyanam. Thuriya atma is the highest reality or paramarthika sathyam and it is the ignorance of this advaidam is the cause of problem. Ignorance by itself does not cause any problem; it is bliss; in deep sleep when we are totally ignorant, we don’t feel any problem. Ignorance is a problem when it is associated with its product. Product of ignorance is erroneous or false perception. When advaidam is not known, advaida agyanam is there and then followed by mithya dwaida prabanja error. This is aboodha abineshaha. False duality is adboodham because it is really nonexistent. This really nonexistent dwaidam is aboodham. Because of agyanam there is mithya dwaidam which is not that much of a problem; but strong attachment to mithya dwaidam in the form of raga or dwesha it becomes the cause of the problem. There are so many dwaida padhartha in the world who are regularly dying. This intense attachment is called abinisheha; this attachment is not towards thuriyum but towards mithya dwaidam. Attachment towards a situation or object or person causes samsara. If this is samsara karanam; gyanam must come. through the gyanam agyanam must go. Once agyanam goes away, mithya dwaidam will be understood as mithya.

  • Chinmaya-Tej
    Chinmaya-Tej Web-site:www.chinmaya.org Chinmaya Mission San Jose Publication Vol.20, No.4 July/August 2009 MissiON Statement To provide to individuals, from any background, the wisdom of Vedanta and practical means for spiritual growth and happiness, enabling them to become a positive contributor to the society. Chinmaya Lahari Letter from "Vedanta Through Letters" That you received a particular message from here was not because the Swami who wrote it deliberately planned to send you that message, but the group of devotees there drew it from the Swami. When an individual starts striving on his path the seeker need not wait for a Guru. But the Lord’s message comes to the seeker in a thousand varied ways. In fact, all the necessary indications and directions are given to the seeker from his own within; but unfortunately the agitated bosom of the seeker fails to receive these subtle messages. The Lord in His infinite kindness is therefore compelled to manifest himself in a grosser form to declare the same message in a grosser language; and the disintegrated mental conditions of the seeker understands it as coming from a Guru. The story of Dattatreya, who recognized twenty-four different gurus is an example in point. It is in this sense that we are told that Guru is the Trinity — Guru is ALL. Guru is that equipment through which we perceptibly hear echoes of our own heart’s Divine message as though from outside. In short, you yourself are to be congratulated if my previous letter had delivered the goods.

  • The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
    PHILOSOPHY/THEOSOPHY T The purpose of this book is to bring together in a convenient and HE coherent form the many HERMES articles written by Prof. Iyer that dealt with this subject. In truth, meditation and self-study represent two HE OGA UTRAS T Y S sides of one human activity, something analogous to the operation of Y the systolic and diastolic movements of the human heart. The one is the OGA centrifugal movement of consciousness expanding to Universals beyond OF PATANJALI the limits of Self; the other is the centripetal movement focusing with laser-like precision upon the particulars within the limits of Self. They S represent roughly the sub-principles of Buddhi and Manas acting within the incarnated Manasic principle; for the spiritual aspirant they should U – in time - become as natural as breathing in and breathing out. These tr two aspects of the inbreathing and outbreathing within the neophyte’s consciousness are dealt with in the three treatises of The Voice of the A Silence, as well as in Prof. Iyer’s seminal article, Meditation and Self-Study. S Alas, most of us find this existential balance to be elusive, as there are OF many obstacles to such a natural and easy relationship to meditation and self-study, obstacles that have been self-created and reinforced over many P lifetimes of misdirected thought and attempts to short-circuit what is unavoidable in the spiritual path: the careful and painstaking unwinding of A the coils of self-induced delusions. These obstacles are detailed in the Yoga T ANJAL Sutras with surprising brevity and familiarity, suggesting to the perceptive reader that the author had so thoroughly studied and mastered the subject that he is able to reduce the issues to their fewest essential elements.
