Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 Sachidananda Yogeswara of Cuddapah was a famous hatha yogi.Once he went round the whole country.He used to stay in important places for three days and give talks.He came to the ashram also and talked to Sri Bhagvan and returned to where he was staying in the town.We were asked by his followers to listen to his talks.Palaniswami and i went there.At that time we were told that Yogeswara was in samadhi.One of his followers said,"He is in samadhi now. He will wake up at a particular time and give his talk at a particular time." Then he asked us,"When is your Bhagvan in samadhi?" When he heard this question,Sri Palaniswami burst out laughing.I said,"For a jnani,there is no specific time for being awake or in samadhi.He was amused at your question." Is is said in Vasishtam also that whatever he might be doing,a jnani never goes into or out of samadhi.He is always in samadhi though he may be engaged in wordly activities.I told him that Sri Bhagvan was always in samadhi. When i returned to the ashram,Sri Bhagvan asked me what had happened at the hatha yogi's place. I told him the whole thing.Sri Bhagvan said with a smile,"People think that samadhi is limited to some time and place.Sitting in one place and keeping the eyes closed is said to be samadhi. What can we do?" There is a verse in Vasishtam: A person may be in padmasana but if he does not enjoy Bliss,he cannot be said to be in samadhi. The greatest samadhi is to throw desire into the fire if Self- realisation.To be outwardly quiet without inward peace is not samadhi. Sri Bhagvan had Himeself said in Verse 31 of the appendix to Ulladu Narpadu (Reality in Forty verses): A man who is asleep in a cart is hardly aware of the movement of the cart,its stopping or the unyoking of the bullocks.So does a jnani sleep in the body.He is hardly aware of work,samadhi and sleep.They are all the same to him. in Sri Bhagvan, sriram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 Can anyone supply a link for an online glossary of terms used? In the past someone did supply that link, but a number of computer crashes and a new computer has lost it for us. Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 Here is a simple one that works because it contains only the usual basic terms you will find quoted, tho it won't give you any pronunciation guide. http://www.eu.spiritweb.org/Spirit/yoga-sanskrit-terms.html This next one has more detailed explanations, for those wgo really want to learn about the terms used. http://www.classicyoga.org/glossary/index-glossary.html Alton, a lot of people like to use the google search engine for finding websites aabout anything. Try it, you will like it too. www.google.com Gloria - Alton Slater RamanaMaharshi Friday, January 18, 2002 2:16 PM Re: [RamanaMaharshi] Reminiscences of Shri Kunju Swamigal - 39 Can anyone supply a link for an online glossary of terms used?
