Dear Members

" Hindu Dharma " is a book published by Bharatiya Vidya

Bhavan which contains English translation of two volumes of the Tamil

Book " Deivatthin Kural " ; which is a collection of invaluable and

engrossing speeches of Sri Sri Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi

MahaSwamiji.

The One Goal

Briefly

told, a yajna is making an oblation to a deity in the fire with

the chanting of mantras. In a sense the mantras themselves

constitute the form of the deities invoked. In another sense, the

mantras, like the materials placed in the fire, are the

sustanence of the celestials invoked. They enhance their powers

and serve more than one purpose. We pay taxes to the government.

However, the various imposts - professional tax, land tax, motor

vehicles tax, and so on - are collected by different offices.

There are also different stamp papers for the same. Similarly,

for each karma or religious work there is an individual deity, a

separate mantra, a particular material, etc, but the ultimate

goal of all these is dedication to the Supreme God. We know that

different departments are meant for the same government.

Similarly, we must realise that the sacrifices performed for the

various deities have behind them one goal, the Paramatman.

The

king or president is not personally acquainted with us who pay

the taxes. But Paramesvara, the Supreme Monarch, knows each one

of us better than we know ourselves. He also knows whether we pay

the taxes properly, the taxes called sacrifices. Paramesvara

cannot be decieved.

As

mentioned before, for each sacrifice there are three essential

requirements: the mantra, the material for oblation, and the

deity to be invoked, the three bringing together speech, hand

[body] and mind.
