Wisdom from the Rishis ( Arsha Vidya Deepam )

Vedānta is not a philosophy that changes your life; it is a vision that corrects your understanding of yourself. I am not a limited individual trying to complete myself through the world. I am the complete, limitless Awareness in whose presence the individual, the world, and Īśvara are known. In a little more detail: 1. What is the problem? — Ignorance (अविद्या) I take myself to be the body–mind–person and therefore experience myself as limited, incomplete and dependent. 2. What does Vedānta do? — It gives a means of knowledge (प्रमाण) The Upaniṣads, unfolded by a competent teacher, reveal what cannot be discovered merely by experience: तत्त्वमसि — तत् त्वम् असि You are That. 3. What is discovered? — I am Brahman अहं ब्रह्मास्मि I am Brahman—the limitless reality. This is not becoming Brahman. I was never anything other than Brahman. The discovery is only the removal of the mistaken identification. 4. What about the world? — Mithyā (मिथ्या) The world is not dismissed as nonexistent. It is dependent reality—dependent upon Brahman, just as a wave is dependent upon water. 5. What happens to life? — The circumstances need not change. The vision changes. Pleasure and pain, gain and loss, success and failure continue to belong to the changing order. But their capacity to define me is understood differently. So, in one sentence: Vedānta is the knowledge that I am the limitless Self, and that the entire universe of changing names and forms is mithyā, dependent on that Self. Or, even more compactly: “Nothing has to become different; I have to see what is already true.”

Bhagwan Shree Krishna's Birthday

Best wishes on the this day of Onam 2026

Three things are very rare in this world to accomplish. Birth as a human being, there after the maturity to seek the ultimate goal of life the "moksha" the self knowledge and a teacher (Guru) to bless by giving the vision of Vedanta the self knowledge. It doesn't happen always.Blessed are they who got these three things in life. Today being the Pradosha day let there be the blessings of Lord Parameswara for every one and for those who come to listen to this in particular.

mahashivaratri ( महाशिवरात्री )

Have a clear vision about success in life so that no regret about the past or worries of the future. The present becomes live and available for life to manifest to its maximum possibilities. Bhagavan Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita made Arjuna to stand up to the task in front of Him. If Arjuna could resolve his confusion it is the blessings of Bhagavans teachings only.No other miracle can do that. There fore it is the greatest miracle.. when you understand something it is nothing but a miracle. Because there are people who cannot see what you already see. The Gayatri mantra japa is also for invoking Isvaras grace to have that brilliance which can give us the capability to know and to retain what we already knew. The mantra is known to reveal the ultimate truth for which we may look in to the Gayatri mantra much more deeply at another time. We may use this mantra as a prayer for blessings and brilliance.. . . . . . . Swami Nijatriptananda https://anchor.fm/nija3pta/message

chant with devotion to the Lord Parameswara in the form of the Guru Sri Dakshinamurthy and be a recipient of blessings for the pursuit of moksha. no doubts in the mind will remain om namo bhagavate Dakshinamurthaye mahyam shriyam medhaam prajnaam prayachha swaha.

Lord krishnas teaching is very clear and makes it clear again that Dharma has a role to play in ones life. It prepares the person but never becomes a barrier on our way to reach the ultimate goal of moksha. One can discover the inner freedom through a mind which is ready to recieve the knowledge.

Sri Krishna to Arjuna 3rd chapter 22nd verse. न मे पार्थास्ति कर्तव्यम् . . . . .

All our actions "karma" can become an offering to the Lord. This is a healthy attitude to take to action even in difficult situations. What is to be done is done cheerfully.

Om NamahShivaya "Japa" on MahaShivaratri day.

iswara's presence is seen through the order which is the manifested universe. iswara is non-seperate from the creation.Hence the presence of iswara is immediately percieved by this vision. One becomes relaxed as a result.

One has to learn to stay with the vision for a length of time in the process of understanding the self being the whole.
