ASSOCIATION:

Since birth every one of us is associating with other living beings starting from our Parents, Siblings, School Friends ,Teachers, Spouse......so on & so forth. Our current position, success and situation are indirectly connected with kind of Association we had & have since childhood. Our future journey is also depends on kind of association we have & will have.


Association is the key to become successful in any fields of life....that includes Spiritual Path also. We should keep company with like minded people to progress further on Spiritual path. Most important things in Association is communication means words which can influence our direction in life. Similarly in Spiritual Journey also association of Scriptures through Guru’s Vani means words are more important then Vapu means physical association of Guru. Because Vani is Eternal, Vapu is not. Repetitively Hearing & Reading the Scriptures’s words are Purifying to our Senses , Nourishing to our Heart, Transcendental to our Consciousness & Uplifting to our emotions. Yes Words have big & long lasting impact on our Heart & Head ( Mind ).

( Wife’s harsh words can create big scar on Husband’s Heart ❤️ & Head, the number one cause of Heart attack & Baldness.....On other hand Wife’s Sweet words can increase Husband’s Sugar level number one cause of Diabetes....either way Words have big impact LOL 🤩😂🤯...I mean to say Husband-Wife and all of us should encourage & inspire each other with good Vani ).

Bg 17.15 -- Austerity of speech consists in speaking words that are truthful, pleasing, beneficial, and not agitating to others, and also in regularly reciting Vedic literature.
When we hear & read Scriptures like Gita which is spoken by God or Lord Krishna himself and Bhagavatam which is biography of Lord Krishna & Chanting Holy Mantra...we are in direct Association with the Supreme God......Highest Association we can ever have in this world.

Now a days in rapidly progressing technological world we are associating more & more with SOCIAL MEDIA ...have big impact on our mind..consciousness...and Spiritual journey....be CAUTIOUS.

Hearing/Reading either Quran, Bible or Gita or any other philosophy ( whichever one we have faith & make sense to us ) & Chanting Vedic Mantra are not about religion or nationality but are about changing ourselves.

Thank You.

MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION & SOURCE:

I am inspired to hear & read Vedic Scriptures & other philosophy by regularly hearing Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale known as Dadaji ( speak on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra. 

I also hear and read discourses & literature on Vedic thoughts & other philosophy from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples ( HH Bhakti Rasamitra Swami, HH Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, HH Bhakticharu Swami, Urmila Devi Dasi, HH Sivarama Swami, HH Radhanath Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu ( Gujarati & Hindi) Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......). 

FYI: Good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com ( Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures ). Hearing & reading these scriptures daily are purifying to our senses, nourishing to our heart ( Soul ), transcendental to our consciousness and uplifting to our emotions.

It is always good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. I am posting articles based on Vedic scriptures and expressing my opinion, thoughts, understanding & emotions. Writing/sharing the articles is my Devotion to God/Gita/Guru. Of course I use Smartphone/Google/Pexels search to collect some data. Thanks to Facebook/Social media for providing me the platform.

Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE.

Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of Guru & God ( Krishna , Absolute Truth ).

NOTE:
I use the word Hearing instead of Listening when it comes to Scriptures. Scriptures are so potent that simply by Hearing them even if you don’t try to interpret or analyze or understand them still there will be passive positive effects on our mind & senses.

We can follow either Quran, Bible, Gita or any other Philosophy that makes sense to us, purify us , elevate our consciousness and qualify us to understand the God and instill the love for God & his creation. ( whichever way we can understand the God, Form or Formless..or Universal Consciousness or Energy ...etc ).

Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion & Depiction ( means image, picture...etc ) but try to understand him by Definition through Scriptures. Transcendental subjects of God & his creation can not be understand by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why circle is circular? Just by definition circle is circular similarly by definition God is unborn, complete, unlimited, infinite, eternal, the Absolute Truth the source of everything, cause of all causes. 

I see the God besides above mention qualities as a eternal living person ( not a abstract or some kind of light ) known by name Krishna means who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, form, abode, many incarnation, activities, qualities, associates, full of wisdom, bliss, cause of all causes.
