Adhyaropa and Apavada - To Bhaskar Parabhu-ji !

[Guest guest]

Prabhu-ji !

 

i am delighted to learn that you will be soon leading the discussion

on ' Adhyaropa and Apavada' ...

 

This is your finest Hour - to shine like a Luminous Sun true to your

name (Bhaskar) spreading radiance and knowledge ... i can see your

Guru speaking through you! i know you will do a wonderful job of

presenting this topic in all its multi-facets . My only helpful hint

to you would be to take time to provide English translation for the

Sanskrit words that you will use in the discussion. This would help

the non-sanskrit knowing members in this group! Smiles!

>From what i know this topic was already discussed somewhat in the

advaitin-l list and i have read some posts by Stig-ji and also your

responses... i miss our Stig-ji and i hope he will reincarnate

again to take part in the discussions ...

 

 

i had read Sri Narayana Guru's poetic rendition on this subject

translated in English from Sanskrit and i found it fascinating !

actually, this topic is going to be a continuation of 'Purnamidam',

and ' 'Real and Unreal ' !

 

My gurudeva always advised me not to get stuck on 'Visions' in

Sadhana - he always advised me to move beyond them and go deeper and

deeper ! My humble suggestion to all partipants is to not get stuck

on the 'metaphors ' and to move beyond them! Metaphors have only

limited purpose ! smiles ! i can already see the metaphors of 'rope-

snake' analogy and 'mother of pearl' etc resurfacing again! MAYA will

also creep up during the discussion in all her glory - Don't let HER

overpower you - if you submit to HER , She WILL PULL THE PARTIPANTS

IN ALL FOUR DIRECTIONS!smiles!

 

Bala-ji had mentioned earlier in another context ( Bhrama's four

heads) about

 

1) Maitri

 

2) Karuna

 

3)Mudita

 

4) Upeksha

 

Yes , dear hearts ! Friendship with the holy, Compassion for the

afflicted, Rejoicing in the joy of the virtuous and being indifferent

to the shortcomings of the sinful- is that NOT what SATSANGHA ALL

ABOUT?

 

 

i will be visiting Orlando , Florida from OCT 10th to OCT 19th - i

can already hear my son-in-law whispering to my daughter " we have

just been through four major Hurricanes in six weeks ! don't tell me

Another One is coming?" LOL!!!

 

 

i will just share what Gandhi-ji said on the following subjects

 

"I believe in *Advaita,* I believe in the essential unity of man and

for that matter of all that lives"

 

"Use truth as your anvil, nonviolence as your hammer and anything

that does not stand the test when it is brought to the anvil of truth

and hammered with ahimsa, reject as non-Hindu"

 

 

"I have felt that the Gita teaches us that what cannot be followed

out in day-to-day practice cannot be called religion. "

 

Thank you!

 

Hari AUM!

To Sri Sunder prabhuji :

Oh!! after more than 15 days I am looking at the mails!! kindly pardon me

for not keeping my commitment. I'll try to write something on this very

important prakriya positively at the end of this month or next month first

week. I onceagain sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused to you

in this regard.

 

To Adi mAtAji :

 

thanks a lot for the links & all the kind words. I shall try to read it

if I get the acces to the net. Sri Stig prabhuji now is in Bangalore with

his friend to meet Sri Atmanandendra Saraswati ( direct desciple of my

parama guruji Sri Sachidaanandendra saraswati).

 

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!

Bhaskar Prabhu-ji !

 

We will all be eagerly looking forward to the first installment on

'Adhyaropa and Apavada' ... hopefully , it will generate more 'light'

than 'heat' - smiles!!!! in reality, it is going to be a continuation

of Chitta's 'real and unreal ' series ...

 

Please be sure to check out Narayana Guru's FINE exposition on this

subject ... as you know , anything in Poetic form appeals to me ! Sri

Ramana Maharishi has also written a beautiful explanation of the

same ... i will post the link later on.

 

So, our stig-ji is in Bangalore ? Yes! the whole state of Mysore

wears a festive look during the Dussehra festival. I am sure Stig-ji

is enjoying his stay in Bangalore - the cutural and the religious

side ... Please convey our best wishes to him and we hope he will

share his experiences with us!

 

Something that our beloved Nair-ji in another context wrote caught

my attention

 

(Looks like I have infected my otherwise mundane better half. She has

taken to reading advaita material and there is this biography of

BhagawAn Ramana Maharshi nowadays always on the bed with the sage

looking directly into our hearts from the glistening cover page.

Every time I pass by the book, I am impelled to lift and raise it to

my chest and forehead as I always do with the pictures of Mother, my

prayer book with Meenakshi on the cover page, SrImad Bhagwad Geetha

etc. )

 

well, may be you might all like to read what sri Narayana guru says

in this context....

 

 

The wife does not adore only the husband,

 

nor the husband the wife.

 

It is the very form of highest Value they adore,

 

shining within every sense object.

 

 

 

SAADAR PRANAAMS!
