Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 Priya Bhagavad Bandhu:s Jai Srimannarayana! The environment and inner samska:ras make one a better human being. The Nature all around us tries to communicate so many things to us. Due to lack of focus on them, we are unable to grasp those things that The Nature is trying to convey. Many a time, we need an authoritarian who can interpret to what The Nature is trying to say and explains it to us in an understandable way. Different persons have different ways of communicating things. Some people may interpret a rose in a poetic way, some in a scientific manner, as what the chemistry of the flower is and so on, yet, some others may appreciate the color and charm of it. Still, a rose is a rose only. The interpretation makes the 'so-called educated mobs' to come closer and appreciate and accept the rose. But the lay man takes it for granted and loves the rose always, either to use it for his own sake or to offer it to God. All the interpretations are required only for those 'so called educated folks'. In other words, a lay man accepts things as it is and chances for him in getting Sadgathi are far easier than an intellectual, who argues always and craves for logical interpretations and scientific explanations and evidances. However, to understand the truths, being conveyed by The Nature, we need someone who is an authentic, competent and knowledgeable person. That authority needs to be able to convey those truths, basing upon the requirements of the person receiving them. He needs to know how much stuff is to be delivered and in what preportion and the mode and so on. Ve:das, Itiha:sas, Pura:na:s, A:gama:s and also a few commentaries of our A:charya:s shouldered the responsibility of being that competent authority. Several great persons added lots of literature to deliver those facts to us. They laid stress upon those facts, through their wonderful works. In spite of our great thirst to know more things, neither is that literature available easily at one place, nor an authoritative person to explain. Our thirst for the right kind of knowledge is growing exponentially day by day in a fast moving world where everything is done at the click of a mouse. We are so fortunate, even today there are great souls, who mastered the essence of the knowledge that passed on to us by our Rishis and A:charya:s, without distortion. All that we need to do is, to approach and express our interest to know real things. Just, knowing will not do much. We must also keep ourselves a genuine person to practice them also. We are happy that Jetusa@ is providing an avenue for all of us to join together and spend some time in the service of those Sages & Saints and A:charya:s. Here will be the information about the activities of our , questions and Answers, discussions & reasonable arguments focussed upon somany topics. But one thing everyone, whoever is participating in these discussions, should understand that this is basically a place for presenting the facts found from the scriptures or collected from the preachings of our A:charya:s or otherwise, gathered from the authentic persons in their own fields. So, let us all try to use this chance for elevating ourselves and serving others to understand the greatness & values of our timetested Vedic culture.
