RE: q - can Vedics travel outside India?

[Guest guest]

Priya Sriman,

Similar queries were deftly answered by Scholars in the

past. The restriction was due to not being able to perform

"Sandhyavandanam" when travelling on a Ship, etc. But not

anymore, if one is willing to perform his/her rituals.

 

H.H. Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami doesn't even partake a sip of

water while travelling on Air from India until he lands and

does His "Sandhyavandana/Aradhana in between". The hardship

HH is put to so the humanity all around the world can have

the wonderful experience and elevaltion of their inherent

spirituality is beyond comprehension. So the question of

foregoing anything doesn't arise, as far as H.H is concerned!

Imagine not having any food for days together?? If possible

try it (no water, no food for 48+ hours)

 

Here's something we should ponder over:

What should we do if the place we live in is flooded? Move to

a safer place? What if an entire Nation is flooded? Would the

restrictions still hold? What's happening in the world right

now is sort of a catastrophe that, a disease that is silently

eating up the society everywhere. To see it logically, the whole

of mother Earth is flooded with the Ocean of pure Materialism/

materialistic spiritualism and/or poor representation of Hindu/

Vedic rituals and values around the world. More so are the sinking

spiritual values!

 

Over the past couple of thousand years, India constantly was

invaded by alien religions, plundering people and Vedic

civilization to near extinction. While Great Acharyas like

Sankaracharya, Ramanujacharya have reestablished the faith, we

are conquered again in the name of global flooding of Materialism.

Which is not bad but that it lacks the essence of spiritualism

as the core. What our Achryas are trying to do right now is to

try and save us from the floods, wherver we are stranded.

 

And Thanks to all of them!

Dear Member,

 

This is common question. Lord Shri Rama crossed seas. Whatever we see

is distorted versions(such as forbiding sea travel). Thus, crossing

seas is not forbidden.

Dear Bagavathas,

 

AdiyEn would like to share my views on Overseas travel of

Vedics.. If we go thru the History of old civilizations of

the world, we are able to see that they had followed our

culture and way of worshipping etc. This is applicable to

Australian Bushmen, Kelts, Druids, Arabia, Egypt, Rome etc.

There should have been no restriction for LEARNED people to

go across seas those days. Due to this, there could have

been a BRAIN DRAIN in the source (that is our country,

bharatham). Hence they should have brought the restriction

for learned men going across seas. This is adiyEn's opinion.

 

And moreover we have aapath dharmam and gowna dharmam.

Lord Sri Rama too went by foot when he started to Lanka.

But please note that he flew back while returning to Ayodhya

fearing the delay would cause BHARATHA's Suicide..

 

So for the rescue of people from this ethnic world and to take

the message of GREAT RAMANUJA to the Entire world, there is

nothing wrong.
