The Characteristics of the Physical Nature and the Way Toward Transformation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At some point everyone experiences periods where the physical body and its corresponding physical mind seem dull, tired, lacking in enthusiasm, and interested only in sleeping, eating and the most basic things that occupy our physical life on earth.

SANATANA DHARMA OTHERWISE  HINDUISM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Introduction : Hinduism is the religion of the Hindus. It is the oldest of all living religions. Hinduism is not a man-made religion. It was not founded by any single person. It is not based on a set of dogmas preached by a particular set of teachers. It was not started as a system, like Islam or Christianity. It is the product of the seers of the Vedas. It was developed from age to age by the teachings of Avataras, Rishis, Vedas, the Upanishads, the Gita and the Itihasas. It will exist as long as the world lasts. There is a peculiar, mysterious spi...

India's Ancient Culture : Swami Krishnananda --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The Definition of Culture India has always been considered as the repository of one of the earliest of cultures. Cultures are there in every country, but Indian culture is said to be one of the most ancient, historically speaking. So there is some point in trying to go a little deep into the ancient circumstance that gave rise to the kind of culture which we call Indian culture. 2. The Evolution of Culture To recapitulate, I mentioned that a qualified, educated person may not be up to the mark in culture,...

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.#Celebrating Diwali: The Deeper Purpose : November 5, 2021. 9:00AM :  Sirshree.  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated with pomp and enthusiasm all over India. It denotes the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after his victory over the demon king, Ravana. The name Ayodhya is made of “A-yudh,” which means the absence of war, the non-existence of conflict. This state of peace and joy can only arise with the return of Lord Rama, who symbolizes the divine presence. Thus, Diwali celebrates the return of love, joy, and peace in our lives upon the destruction of the demonic tendencies represented by Ravana. Since ol...

PM. We Connect Differently To A Personal God : Swami Tejomayananda --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sri Rama was the maryadapurushottama, the ideal man. The purpose of his avatara was to teach us how to live. On the same day, three other mahapurushas, his brothers, were born. Their goal was different. They taught us how to love and their importance should not be underestimated. We must remember to pray to these great devotees, because the path to discover bhakti in our hearts, is only through the grace of the bhakta.   The relationship of each of the brothers with Rama was different. In the Bala Kanda portion of Sri ...

The rigidity of the family daily routine of worship, lasting for quite a few hours, became part and parcel of the mental and moral make-up of the young lad. And, added to this, he had the rare chance of coming under the influence of his family-Gurus who were saintly souls. Right from young age he had the inquiring mind which critically questioned everything. He was equally brilliant in his studies and emerged o...
