PM MODI is THE RIGHT KING:

                                        

Congratulations to Narendrabhai Modi & BJP and India for landslide historical victory in 2019 election. 2019 Mandate is for a New India. With such a massive victory & big majority in parliament, Monarchy is back in India and PM Modi is the Right King 🤴 to lead India 🇮🇳 moving forward.

राजा कालस्य कारणम
Rājā kālasya kāraṇam: SuSanskrit is not about teaching or preaching. It is about learning, knowing and exploring our inner abilities, ‘The potentially Divine self’ as referred by Swami Vivekananda. It’s an effort to keep our culture alive in its true sense, to live our life in true spirit, to make sure our next generations gets the right environment to grow and prosper materially and spiritually. 

There is a famous Indian saying ‘Raja Kalaysya Karanam’ meaning it’s the leader who is responsible for today’s state of things. This state is not just the socio economic state or the political situation but also the very way in which the society thinks, in turn how we think as individuals in our day to day life. There was a time when the Raja was answerable to the academia of the society and the academia were not afraid to take decision’s which contributed to the growth of the society in the right direction.. 

Today we are living in the world of capitalism and today’s Rajas have digested the definition of money as wealth and thrown out the cultural & spiritual aspects of wealth, resulting in chaos and anarchy. To see change in our world today a lot is required, but definitely this modern Rajas need to introspect much further. At a same time people in the kingdom means we are also responsible and answerable for today’s world and for the world we will gift to our next generation. 

If we want these Rajas to be answerable, we will have to be answerable, we will need to start inculcating importance of values over money, and right knowledge over materialism. It’s a hard and treacherous process, but to create tomorrows Rajas we will have to pass by the same.

Raja Modi will brings change in India & hopefully other Rajas of the world will learn from him..LOL.

MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION , SOURCE & THE GURUS:

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

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

FYI: A good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com . Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures. Repeatedly hearing/reading & meditating the Scriptures, Eating Sanctified Pure Food and Chanting Vedic Mantras are nourishing to our heart (Soul), transcendental to our consciousness, purifying to our senses and thus helps us to overcome our weaknesses or deficiencies. Yes, we do have good qualities within us but there is always a room for improvement. 

It is always a good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. Thanks to the Facebook & Social media for providing me the platform. Of course I use Smartphone & Google search to collect some data. 

Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE. Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of the Guru & God (Krishna , Absolute Truth).

NOTE:
Many times a word Hearing is used instead of Listening when it comes to the Scriptures. Because 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 the Quran, Bible,Torah, Tripitaka-Buddhism, Agama-Jainism, Guru Granth Sahib-Sikhism, Gita or any other Philosophy which makes sense to us, purifies us, elevates our consciousness and qualifies us to understand God and instill the love of God & his creation. (whichever way we can understand God -- either Personal with many names or Impersonal as an universal consciousness & energy).

Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion or Depiction (means image, picture...etc) but try to understand him by the Definition through Scriptures. The Transcendental subject of God & his creation cannot be understood by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why is the circle circular? Just by definition, the 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 God, besides the above mentioned qualities, as an eternal living person (not a abstract or some kind of light) known by the name KRISHNA meaning one who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, forms, abodes, incarnations, activities, qualities, associates, is full of wisdom, bliss, and the cause of all causes.

Bg 9.17 -- I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support and the grandsire. I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable oṁ. I am also the Ṛg, the Sāma and the Yajur Vedas.

Bg:13-12:-- Accepting the importance of self-realization; and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth ( God ) – all these I declare to be knowledge, and besides this whatever there may be is ignorance. ( Vedabase.com ).

CONSERVING ENERGY:

                                        

Butterfly 🦋 can fly for long distance after conserving sugar energy, similarly we can fly high & far in spiritual journey with conservation of our material energy.

By nature we are pleasure seeking souls and throughout the life we are in search of pleasures. Every one of us has strong desires to enjoy this world unlimitedly...LOL 🤣. Ancient book Gita says that we earned a particular kind of physical body to fulfill our desires. Just like specific outerwear fits to specific gross body, similarly specific gross body fits to specific kinds of mindset to enjoy this world.

Bg 15.9 — The living entity, thus taking another gross body, obtains a certain type of ear, eye, tongue, nose and sense of touch, which are grouped about the mind. He thus enjoys a particular set of sense objects. 

Naturally people have maximum enjoyment & pleasures while eating delicious 🤤 foods, drinking their favorite drinks 🍷..LOL, sleeping in luxurious bed, recreational activities and meeting opposite sex. By our own experience, intelligence, common sense & observing people around us we know that all these sensually pleasurable activities are short lasting. And also anything in excess is detrimental to our mental & physical health; It can be either too much food, sleep, sex, any kind of recreational activities or even work.....anything too much is not good for us. Worldly mundane pleasures taste like a nectar in the beginning but becomes poison at the end...LOL 😂. 

Bg 6.16 — There is no possibility of one’s becoming a yogī, O Arjuna, if one eats too much or eats too little, sleeps too much or does not sleep enough.

Bg 18.38 — That happiness which is derived from contact of the senses with their objects and which appears like nectar at first but poison at the end.

Eating-Sleeping-Mating & Defending are daily routine activities for any living species but in human life we have chance to evolved further if we think further... 😂. HUMAN LIFE is NEVER MEANT for SENSE GRATIFICATION, but for SELF-REALIZATION.

By absorbing ourselves in sensually pleasurable activities, our mental & physical energy is constantly leaking outward through our mind & senses. When we are walking on Spiritual path we need to save this energy to connect with Divine. Thoughts of Gita will help us to strengthen our mind, sharpen our intelligence, controls our material desires AND thus CONSERVE our ENERGY. We can redirect this energy towards our Spiritual development by practicing Spiritual Yoga, which gives us great satisfaction & plenty of joy.

Bg 18.37 — That which in the beginning may be just like poison but at the end is just like nectar and which awakens one to self-realization is said to be happiness in the mode of goodness.

Bg 4.35 — Having obtained real knowledge from a self-realized soul, you will never fall again into such illusion, for by this knowledge you will see that all living beings are but part of the Supreme, or, in other words, that they are Mine.

Bg 10.9 — The thoughts of My pure devotees dwell in Me, their lives are fully devoted to My service, and they derive great satisfaction and bliss from always enlightening one another and conversing about Me.

With respect to everyone’s values & beliefs, whichever GUIDELINES ( Bible, Quran, Torah, Tripitaka-Buddhism, Agama-Jainism, Guru Granth Sahib-Sikhism, Gita or any other...) METHODS or WAYS work for us is good. 

It is easy to say, but difficult to follow. I am in the same boat with everyone else, or I may even be behind, but thinking in the right direction will help us to go in the right direction.   

Thank You.
