Rudrabhisheka - April 30 , 2017 on Shankara Jayanthi in California , USA

I thank my Guru for his commitment to educate me in Veda Mantras. When children participate there is different energy and enthusiasm to this kind of religious event. When they get inducted as early as this age they will have great future wholistically and they might be able to contribute to the success of greater good in the community. This foundation might help their future spiritual knowledge and growth. Loved seeing so many children around and thanks to their parents for educating children and empowering them with the knowledge of Veda mantras in this early age. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya's birth anniversary event was very well spent 🙏

Shanakra Jayanthi 2020 (Vaishaka Shudda Panchami day - April 27 ) - Guru Vaani

Shanakra Jayanthi - Guru Vaani
--------------------

Shri Gurubhyo Namaha , Harih OM 🙏

Author's note : I am incredibly blessed that our Guru recognized the translation work of the past work and I do not want to take it for granted . With all humility, I would touch the lotus feet of our Guru for the blessings. Sarvam krishnarpaNamastu.

There is a smriti vaakya ( sentence ) which says only human beings have this advantage and opportunity. No animal kingdom has this kind of special advantage . Animal kingdom tries hard to find food for their survival. There are many incidences they go to sleep without food. Where as for human beings, “Swalpa mattino gantavyam sahayate mayato bayat“ (Guruji to correct if I spelled wrongly)- With Little effort , he can have food for up to 7 generations. 

Taking a leaf out of same smriti vaakya, When we purchase a car, we only know how to drive and thats it. When it breaks down, we do not even know how to fix it. We drive thousands of miles in it but we do not know how to fix the engine. You need not know how to fix the engine but if we learn it , what an advantage we have , right ?
Same way, Smart Phones today , we use some features without reading user manual. We do not know how it works from inside when we make a call to see someone far off from our home .( Research says Smart phone users uses only less than 20% of features from software )
Extending this example , our human life is also comprised of too many gatherings and impressions. Our elders have compared human life to Taamra ( Bronze ) and HittaaLe ( Copper ) . If we do not wash the vessels made out of these material, it turns black. When we wash it every week and if it is shining , we feel like doing sandhyavandane and to use those mettles for our dharmic activities. Same way, for human life, way of living has to be Dharmic with thoughts soaked in dharmic achara( Rituals) and vichaara ( thoughts).

We all assembled to chant Rudra Parayana as satsangha to show our gratitude and thank so many Individuals and universal consciousness which we call divine energy, that has still kept all of us alive . We are all celebrating 1232nd Jayanthi ( birthday ) of greatest scholar of highest calibre Jagadguru Sri Adishankaracharya ( Shankaracharya ) hence we have assembled to chant Veda mantras with Rudra parayana .

Shankaracharya’s contribution to this planet is immense. His Speciality is he lived in the human body for only 32 years and achievement wise no one can match to his level till date. By the time he turned 8 years old boy he completed all 4 Vedas ( Rigveda , Yajurveda , Samaveda , AtharvaNaveda ) . By the time he completed 12 years, he has done adyayana ( learning ) completing the work of 18 Puranas ( Essence of Vedas is depicted in the story form ). By the time he completed 16 years he has fully completed the work of writing Bhaashyas (commentary  ) to the prastanatrayas ( Bhagavadgeete , 10 Upanishads and Brahma Sutras ) . Not only that he invited everyone to debate on his work and defeated everyone who challenged the work and there by took Sanatana Dharma to its highest level with most logical debate and established Advaita Siddanta ( Non dual philosophy ) as the supreme authority.

When people used to challenge his work to debate, agreement was Shanakracharya mentioned to challengers that he would go back to normal life if he gets defeated otherwise the person who challenges his work should become Sanyasi and follow the guidelines. Thats how he defeated the man of highest calibre those days called Mandana Mishra . As per the verbal agreement, Mandana Mishra became Sanyasi once Adishankaracharyaru has defeated himcin the debate. His Sanyasashrama name was changed to Sureshwaracharya and Jagadguru Adishanakracharya made him first peetadhipathi of current day Sringeri Sharada Peeta .

Today is Vaishaka Shukla Panchami as per our Sanatana Dharma Calendar ( we follow this calendar all over the world to celebrate the festivals and to see planetary positions .
We have katapaya sutra in sangeeta .

Vaishaka masa , Shukla Paksha , Panchami tithi is the day Adishankaracharya was born and how did he get the name "Shankara". Follow this table below which is very interesting how ancient times they used to keep the names based on numbers as per Maasa( Month of birth ) Paksha ( there are two pakshas - Shukla and Krishna ) and Tithi .

Vaishaka maasa represents “Ra” kaara in Ya varga ( last line )which is number 2 in the last line because Vaishaka comes after Chaitra maasa (which is the first month in a calendar )
Shukla paksha “ka” varga ( Second line ) represents akshara "ka" which is equated to 1
Panchami represents "sha " kaara in ya varga which equates to number 5 .
Ankaanam Vaamato gatih is a sutra in sanskrit ( Vaidhika Vaangmaya ) - This says when we start writing numbers 1 2 3 4 etc value increases on the left side if we keep writing .
Eg: 04 14 24 34 etc

Using the above logic with the numbering Panchami ( 5 = Sham ) Shukla ( 1 = ka)  Vaishaka ( 2= Ra ) = Shankara
Hence acharya was named as Shankara in 7th century. Such profound thought , Isn’t it ?

This is how the name is derived . Such a perfect way to keep the name to the newborn hence even today , many follow sanskrit name at least for their children . Such a scholar arrived to Bharata ( present day India ) and he travelled all over Bharata 3 times to establish Dharma and educated everyone to lead the dharmic path to achieve chaturvidha phala ( Dharma Artha Kama Moksha ) in one’s life by leading righteous and conscious living .

Shankaracharya has not only given high scholarly bhaashya (For Vedas , Upanishads and Brahmasutras ) to intellectual people but also has given many shlokas, simple stothras to common people. His great work should be studied in this order 1. Bhagavadgeete ( Ask for Shankara Bhashya or attend lectures of non dual school of thoughts) 2. Upanishads ( Ask for Shankara Bhashya ) 3. Brahma Sutras( Shankara Bhashya)

For common and easy understandings , One can start with Soundarya lahari stothras , Shivaaparadha Kshama Stothras, Devi Aparadha Kshama Stothras . All these are real gems once you start reading, you will know what real happiness is all about. Real happiness is hidden here . 

Eg : Suputro jaayet twat kwaschitapi kumaata bhagavathi ( I stand corrected, Guru to correct the spelling ) ( from Devi Aparadha Kshama Stothra ) - We can get a bad son in the worst case but never ever we will get bad mother. 
( This is one of the reason why Jagadguru Shankaracharyaru as Sanyasi fell down at the feet of the mother ( poorvarshrama) and took care of her cremation process granting her "Moksha" )

Such a work is very heart touching if you start reading hence Acharya still lives on in the hearts of people( Author's inspiration to learn Veda Mantras started off at young age after looking at photo image Jagadguru Adishankaracharya ) . Shankara Jayanthi is celebrated because he is considered as “Shiva Swaroopi “. Chanting of Rudra is a must for such a noble avatara purusha who gave this world exemplified work in such a short span of 32 years in human body (form) with the name “Shankara”.

If not for Covid-19, we could have been together in one place and we would have performed Rudrabhisheka . But never mind, at least we are able to do Rudra paarayana ( even though less effective in relative comparison to Rudrabhisheka ) through this webex technology sitting in our homes. May be if we were to do the same activity say some 25 yrs back, It would not have been possible. Now a days Science is deviating to technology development because of our human mind trying to Engineer the outer world like never before  with the growth in science /Vignaana ( Vishesha+Jnaana ) . Because of growth in human mind, it is invested in Vignaana and thanks to this technology, we are all sitting in various corners of the world and still able to see each other’s face. This is the reason we should be thankful to the divine always and do our work with more dedication . We all should express our utmost gratitude with all humility to the divine and so many people and for this beautiful world.

Last but not the least we have this pain called “Corona Virus “ today. We do not know how it came and what happened. But we as group of people ( with more collective energy concentrated with the sankalpa ), It is always best to worship the divine as community of people as universal consciousness has the capability to get rid of such mahamaari ( pandemic ) .

Small Story as ending note :
We all asthikas clearly believe and agree that there are many Devastas in Devaloka .
In devaloka , trimurthis ( Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara ) came with their better halves to one common gathering with other Devi devathas. They all gathered , spent quality time and had lunch.
After lunch during their free time, they decided to play a game.
They were playing game similar to today’s Antyakshari and musical chair .
Rule of the game is in each round, 2 Devatas has to exit . They played many rounds and at last 5 devastas remained for the semi finals. Vishnu, Lakshmi, Shiva, Parvati and Shaneeshwara remained as last 5 after many rounds of play.
After continuation , for the last round we had only two - Lakshmi and Shaneeshwara.
Now there is real problem !!!  Lakshmi is Vishnu's wife as you know. The main issue is whoever wins, other person might get angry and it would be difficult for the people in Earth if either of them get angry. Many discussed someone should step forward to judge but no one dared to judge the winner (between the two- One is most needed and the other is better if he is not around ) . Shiva said he has suffered Shaneeshwara and will be not judge for sure.
Brahma , Looking at Shiva's painful answer said when Shiva himself has suffered , He would definitely not comfortable so no way he will decide who is the best among the two.
When Vishnu was asked, He said Lakshmi is his wife , By any chance if he says she is not the winner, he will have a tough time in Vaikunta. When everyone declined to judge the winner , they decided Brahmachari Naarada Mahamuni to give the judgement.
Narada said Lakshmi is his aradhya devate and he fears Shaneeshwara as well . But he thought about it for while and said both Lakshmi and Shaneeshwara to walk from the place where Indra sits to the Dwaraka ( which is like a furlong walk ) . Both agreed and finished walking and came back. Narada Maha muni could not decide in first round competition so he requested to walk two more rounds and gave verdict.
Verdict : Narada maharani said while going to Dwaraka - Shaneeshwara looked good and while coming from dwaraka to the place where I am standing ,  Lakshmi was fabulous. Smart Narada Maha muni ....Right ???

The way to interpret the story is simple . None of us wants Shaneeshwara in the first place , thats why we have to like the pain going away from us. Who does not like Lakshmi ( Lakshmi meaning ashTa lakshmi - not only Dhana Lakshmi )
Lakshmi is awesome when she is coming to us, Isn’t it ?

Now map the story to the current situation :
Pain like corona has to go like Shaneeshwara . It will feel good when any pain and pandemic is gone.
Health and safety is like Lakshmi and it feels great when all are doing great in their life.

Let that Parameshwara called Jaagadguru Shankaracharya ’s Advaita siddanta be followed by everyone so that greatest health happiness prosperity , clarity and joyfulness could be yours .


Jaya Jaya Shankara Hara Hara Shankara.
May god bless you and have a peaceful life.

Guru Vaani on April 23, 2020

Guru Vaani : In order to explore the knowledge of self, Rishis of ancient times came up with Veda mantras. The world "Veda " meaning "Vida jnaane" which in turn means Jnaana ( Knowledge ) . Every subject in modern day including today's math and science comes from Vedas as this is knowledge of self.  It serves as user manual for human beings to understand true self in a crystal clear manner if we put at the least 10000 hrs into it. This is not confined to any particular VarNa of ancient times or any gender or anyone for that matter.

Just like how we operate any machine/product without studying user manual , we are accidentally using some features( not all the features ) with some common sense. Isn't it ? Same way we are operating ourselves today accidentally. Some things work some won't work in our favor as we do not know the process of deep breathing for relaxing and controlling our mind. We can get to the bottom of our being if we learn Veda mantras and Vedanta to lead in the dharmic way of life established by Jagadguru in 7th century. Talking about Jagadguru , We are celebrating 1232nd Birth Anniversary of Adi Shankaracharya on April 27th 2020 and Guru Somayaji has arranged Rudra chanting for our SDK - Tuesday class students on Jayanthi day. Those who do not know , our Guru Somayaji studied in Kalady, Kerala which happens to be the birth place of Jagadguru Adishankaracharya.
Adi Shankaracharya clearly showed the path to brahma jnaana through his bhaashyas to triprastanatrayas ( Bhagavadgeete, Upanishad and brahma Sutras ) including Karyakas and various stothras .

Guru Somayaji's Wednesday batch students also joining tomorrow to chant Veda mantras together on account of Shankara Jayanthi. This is not for aged people as opposed to popular belief. This is required right from the age of 8 in order to live with clear mind and peacefully within one self. This is my own experience as well.

Rigveda clearly says Ekam Sat Vipraha bahuda vadanti  ( Rough translation :There is only one truth (or true being) and learned persons call it by many names - Adishankaracharya gave us panchayatana pooja ( AdithyaAmbika, Ganapathi, Vishnu , Shanmukha, Shiva) - We call different names ( various manifestations of the same divine) based on guNa and portfolio - In real essence its all one whomever we worship ). Veda mantras essence is laid out clearly in Upanishads( Comparatively easier than Veda mantras to chant Ex : Taittireya Upanishad ).

If people find that difficult they have an option to chant Bhagavadgeete ( Beautiful sanskrit poetry - We know many people participate in Geeta chanting and win prizes ) and understand the meaning where all 18 adhyayas are Yoga . Wisdom of Veda Mantras and Upanishads are there in Bhagavad Geete partly and Bhagwan(Krishna) himself guiding Arjuna ( ourselves) on a war field how to make use of the skills and expertise to survice in the outside world.

For someone who want stories to get the deeper philosophies, they can access Puranas ( in the form of Katha, essence is explained for our understandings easily especially children ). Bhaagavata Purana contains wisdom in katha form. Stories of Vishnu is compiled in Bhagavatha .

April 13 2020 - Isha kriya Shambhavi and Mantras ( Hindu calendar new year for many states )

Background : Inner Engineering attended in Feb 2017 in San Ramon , California , USA.

12 months of Shambhavi practice including Mandala completion.
 To my pleasant surprise, Sadhguru himself came in the dream on 4th day after  completing the Shambhavi Inittiation in Feb 2017 . He just smiled and left in the dream.

To my pleasant surprise , one more time in Jan 10, 2018 , Sadhguru came in my dream again ...this time experience is profound to say the least. Felt the bliss that I never encountered ever in my life. In my experience , I was losing my body as though I felt like I jumped off the cliff or Aeroplane when Sadhguru in my dream came close to touch my naabhi with his word "Bliss" near the mooladhara  and this experience above mentioned started in me and lasts for roughly a minute.

This encouraged me to watch videos almost daily from that day. I would have listened to many videos and during CoVid situation , I decided after watching daily Satsangha of Sadhguru that I will start off doing Isha Kriya during Brahmi Mahoortha as there is a mention in his videos too .

On April 13, 2020 I woke up at 2:47 am without an alarm. 3:30 I started Isha Kriya meditation . Completed and slept at 4 am.
This way Isha Kriya Meditation from 3:30 am till 4 am in Brahmi Mahoorta started on April 13 2020 forced me do the second day on 14th as there was sense of accomplishment and observed cleared mind adding more peace, more joy, more fulfillment to the life.

April 14, 2020 Experience and Practice :
Calm Mind ( zero activity in the mind as the focus was completely on breath ) .
On April 14 - Woke up to an alarm at 3:30 am. 3 minutes of Om Namah Shivaya ( 108 completed ) .Completed the Isha Kriya and went with the 108 maha mrutyunjaya as well.
Total time of meditation : 3: 30 am - 4:54 am ( 114 minutes )
Always concentrated on enegy movements from mooladhara to sahasraara during dhyaana. Observed slow breath ( stopping the breath, controlling the breath manually to minimise the inhalation and exhalation with the clear focus on the breath ).
Excellent experience , Felt good. Zero tention , stress or anxiety during that time.
11:30 am- 12 pm - Shambhavi Mahamudra
5:30 pm - 8:00 pm - Dhyaana with Veda mantras

10:30 pm - 11 pm - Isha Kriye ( cleansing the impressions of the day )

Thank you Prasad Udupa and Narayan Shastry for managing Webex and Guru's recording for the entire class .

Thanks to everyone who participated today in our regular Veda mantra class. Souramaanya Yugadi ( Vishu ) is being celebrated in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi districts of Karnatkaa, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Good that we covered agreed agenda by 8 pm and we will repeat the same next week. I do not think that those 90 minutes of sound bliss can be replaced with any other sound vibration for our body mind and our life energies 🙏

It helps us for character building, since only those with strong will and character can succeed in their pursuits. Therefore, this section Seekshavalli  deals with the rules for right living.

ಮನುಷ್ಯನಿಗೆ ಕಷ್ಟ

 ಮನುಷ್ಯನಿಗೆ ಕಷ್ಟ ಬರುವುದು ನಮ್ಮ ಕಲಿಕೆಗಾಗಿ ಮಾತ್ರ . ಅದರಿಂದ ಕಲಿತು ನಮ್ಮೊಳಗೇ ಸರ್ವಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನಾಗಿ ಬೆಳೆಯುವುದಕ್ಕೆ . ಸ್ವತ: ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮಚಂದ್ರನೇ ೧೪ ವರ್ಷ ಕಾಡಿಗೆ ಹೋದ , ಹೆಂಡತಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳೂ ಬೇರೆ ಬೇರೆ ಕಡೆ . ವಾಪಸ್ ಬಂದ ಮೇಲೂ ರಾಜ್ಯಭಾರ ಮಾಡ್ಲೆ ಇಲ್ಲ . ಶಿವನನ್ನು ವರಿಸ್ಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದ ರಾವಣನ ಕೊಂದೆ ಎಂಬ ಪಾಪಪ್ರಜ್ಞೆಗೆ ತಪಸ್ಸು ಮಾಡಲು ಹೊರಟಿದ್ದ . ಇದು ನರ ಜನ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ  "ಕಷ್ಟ " ಮೀಸಲು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿಕೊಟ್ಟ ಪಾಠ  ನಮ್ಮ ಗುರುಗಳು ಹೇಳಿಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಆಧ್ಯಾತ್ಮ ಸಾಧನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ತೊಡಗಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಾದರೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಮೇಲೆ ನಾವೇ ಮರುಕಬಾರದು , ಅಯ್ಯೋ ಯಾಕೆ ಹೀಗಾಯ್ತು ಅಂತ ಕಂಗಾಲು ಆಗಲೇಬಾರದು . ನಮ್ಮ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಸ್ಥಿತಿಗಳಿಗೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಬುದ್ದಿಯ ನಿರ್ಧಾರವೇ ಕಾರಣ . ದೇವರು ಎಂಬ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ನಾವು ಒಲಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ನಿತ್ಯ ಸಾಧನೆ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು. ನಿತ್ಯ ಧ್ಯಾನವೋ ಭಜನೆಯೋ ಮಂತ್ರವೋ ಯೋಗವೋ ಹೀಗೆ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡು ಮನಸ್ಸು ಶುದ್ಧವಾಗುತ್ತ ನಿರ್ಮಲ ಮನಸ್ಥಿತಿಗೆ ಬರುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೆ ಸಾಧಕ ಸಾಧನೆಯ ಹಾದಿಯನ್ನು ಬಹಳ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಹಿಡಿದಿದ್ದಾನೆ ಎಂದರ್ಥ . ಇಲ್ಲವಾದರೆ ಹೊರಗಡೆಯಿಂದ ನನ್ನ ಮನಸ್ಸನ್ನು ಕದಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಸಾಧನವನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಧಾಕ್ಷಿಣ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಕಿತ್ತು ಹಾಕಿ ಎಂದರು ಮತ್ತೆ ಮತ್ತೆ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿ ಬಿಡಬೇಡಿ ಯಾಕೇಂದರೆ  ಅಷ್ಟರಲ್ಲೇ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಬುದ್ದಿ ನಿಮಗೆ ಬಿಟ್ಟುಬಿಡು ಅಂತ ಹೇಳ್ತಿರುತ್ತೆ , ಅದರ ಮಾತು ಕೇಳ್ಬೇಡಿ ಸಾಧನೆ ಮುಂದುವರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಹುಮ್ಮಸ್ಸು ತಂದುಕೊಳ್ಳಿ . ಅದರ ಕುರಿತಾದ ವಿಡಿಯೋಗಳು ನೋಡಿ ಆದರೆ ಬಿಡಬೇಡಿ. ಈಗ ಐದುವರೆ ವರ್ಷ ಆಯಿತು ನಿತ್ಯ ೨ ಗಂಟೆ ಧ್ಯಾನ ಮಂತ್ರ ಜಪ ನನ್ನ ಬದುಕಿಗೆ ಬಂದಿದೆ . ವಿಷ್ಣು ಸಹಸ್ರನಾಮ ಲಲಿತಾ ಸಹಸ್ರನಾಮ , ವೇದ ಮಂತ್ರಗಳು  ಇದ್ದರೆ ಊಟ ತಿಂಡಿಯ ಕಡೆ ಗಮನವೇ ಇರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ ಹಾಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಸಾಧನೆ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿದೆ . ಮನಸ್ಸು ತುಂಬಾ ನಿರ್ಮಲವಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಹೇಳಿದೆ . ಇದಕ್ಕೆಂದೇ ಕುವೆಂಪುರವರು ಬರೆದಿದ್ದು ಹಿಂದೆ ಗುರು ಇರ್ಬೇಕು ಮುಂದೆ ಗುರಿ ಇರ್ಬೇಕು ಅಂತ🙏

ಮಹಾಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ ಉತ್ತರ ಸಿಗಲಿಲ್ಲ ಅಂದರೆ ಇನ್ನೆಲ್ಲೂ ಸಿಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ

ಮಹಾಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ ಉತ್ತರ ಸಿಗಲಿಲ್ಲ ಅಂದರೆ ಇನ್ನೆಲ್ಲೂ ಸಿಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ 
-------------------------------------
ಕೃಷ್ಣ ಯಾರು ಅಂತ ಧರ್ಮರಾಯನಿಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಾಗೋಯ್ತು . ಅರ್ಜುನನನಿಗೆ ದಿನ ನಿತ್ಯ ಅಕ್ಕ ಪಕ್ಕ ಓಡಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೂ ಯುದ್ಧಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ೧೮ ದಿನ ತೆಕೊಂಡಿತ್ತು. ಆದರೆ ದುರ್ಯೋಧನನಿಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿದ್ರೂ ಅವನ ದುರಹಂಕಾರ ಅವನನ್ನು ತಲೆಬಾಗಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ . ಕಡೆಗೆ ಏನಾಯ್ತು ? ದುರ್ಯೋಧನನ ಹೆಣ ಕೂಡ ಯುದ್ಧಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಎತ್ತುವವರು ಯಾರು ಇಲ್ಲದಿರುವ ಹಾಗೆ ಕೃಷ್ಣ ಹೊಡೆಸಿಬಿಟ್ಟ . ಹೇಳುವಷ್ಟು ಹೇಳ್ಬೇಕು ಕೇಳುವಷ್ಟು ಕೇಳ್ಬೇಕು . ಆಮೇಲೆ ಕೃಷ್ಣನ ಚಾತುರ್ಯತೆ ತೋರ್ಸ್ಬೇಕು ಅಂತ ಮಹಾಭಾರತವೇ ಕಲಿಸಿಕೊಟ್ಟಿದೆ . ಜೈ ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣ 🙏
