Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 From : H.N.Sreenivasa Murthy Pranams to all members. advaitin , " sumitha " <sumitha_rama wrote: > > Namaste, > A few slokas from Atma Bodha are given below for Nididhyasanam: Dear (Sri or Smt)Sumitha, Wonderful Slokas indeed! Thank you for posting them. I have a small doubt: the 'nididhyasanam'word has been used; what exactly is its meaning and what exactly is it? Does it mean committing the words of the Slokas into memory? Does it mean ' reciting the Slokas everyday'? or that the Slokas convey actual facts about one's svarUpa which one is not aware and the facts which have to be cognized/apprehended within oneself by oneself? Or is it a kind of practice to be performed by one using his body, praNa and manas so that the disease of avidya is cured? I request you and the other learned members to clear these doubts.I feel that the the correct understanding of the meaning of that word 'nididhyasanam'is essential for a mumukshu. English translation of the Slokas will help the readers/mumukshus who do not know Sanskrit. I may please be pardoned for any literary lapses in this posting as my command over English language is not that good. With warm and respectful regards, Sreenivasa Murthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Namaste: You have a loaded question and I have attempted to provide some answer and only with Nididhyasanam, you will be able to clear your doubts. The means of attaining Self-knowledge is through Jnâna Yoga. The systematic ways of practicing Jnâna Yoga is done in three stages: - Shravanam means listening - Mananam means reflection - Nididhyâsanam means contemplation Shravanam is done with the help of a teacher (Guru). Mananam is done both independently and with the help of the teacher – getting clarifications from the teacher and also through self study. Nididhyâsanam has to be done independently alone internally. All external help including the most knowledgeable teacher will be able to help one to digest the knowledge on Self. Swami Paramarthanandaji correctly pointed out that assimilated knowledge alone will give one benefits just like assimilated food can nourish the consumer. He further states that Lord Krishna warns in the Gîtâ that any amount of study is of no use unless it is assimilated through Mananam and Nididhyâsanam. Here are some references with substantive explanations for Nididhyasanam. http://www.adi-shankara.org/2009/04/shravanammananamnidhidhyasanam.html http://www.adi-shankara.org/2009/03/katha-upanishad-shankara-bhashya_27.html http://www.avktrust-blr.com/uploads/avktrustblr/Talk_036_May_01_2009.pdf http://www.avktrust-blr.com/uploads/avktrustblr/Talk_036_May_01_2009.pdf with my warm regards, Ram Chandran Note: If the link doesn't work, type completely on the webbrowser. advaitin , " narayana145 " <narayana145 wrote: > > From : H.N.Sreenivasa Murthy > Pranams to all members. > > advaitin , " sumitha " <sumitha_rama@> wrote: > > > > Namaste, > > A few slokas from Atma Bodha are given below for Nididhyasanam: > > Dear (Sri or Smt)Sumitha, > > I have a small doubt: the 'nididhyasanam'word has been used; > what exactly is its meaning and what exactly is it?
