Think only for best = Pujya Gurudev

Promise Yourself

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

(Akhand Jyoti Jan.Feb.05)

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of best, to work only for best, and to expect only the best.

 To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear; and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but in great deeds. To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side as long as you are true to the best in yourself.

Guidelines for sharpening the intellect

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

(Akhand Jyoti March-April04)

Rigveda 8/95/5 O Supreme Lord of perfect majesty! Bless the one whoever sings new and beautiful encomiums to you with the intellect which is endowed with supreme wisdom and which enlightens the mind. Everyone is desirous of increasing his mental and intellectual capabilities. This craving is more endemic to the student community. Most of them are on the lookout for some formula or technique that may enhance their mental power. It is seen in all spheres of life that the more intelligent are able to make progress and achieve success while the dullards are left behind in the race.
This phenomenon has become almost a truism, to the extent that intelligence and success have come to be viewed as synonymous. How may the unintelligent become intelligent? And how can the intelligent ones further increase their brain power? The answers to these questions have never been properly known or learnt. The results of research investigations made in this field generally remain unavailable to the common mass of people. Ignorant of the effective tools of intellect development, the majority of people resign themselves to their present mental level, branding it as destiny or fate. But the reality is otherwise. With the grace of God, combined with dedicated human endeavor, worthwhile goal is achievable. But before we embark on this venture, let us be clear about what exactly is meant by intellectual capacity. Most people have a misconception about the true nature and function of the intellect.
They identify intelligence with trickery and chicanery of all sorts. For them, being intelligent means an ability to fix things up and grab the desired object by hook or by crook. But those who are aware of the reality know that intellect or buddhi is, in fact, an instrument manifesting as a process of analysis, deliberation and discernment. An application of this process leads to the development of understanding, determination and far-sightedness. Analysis is made of the prevailing circumstances, available facts and the past experience. It helps in giving a right direction to the course. Deliberation means refining the thoughts and imaginations, properly arranging them and giving them a focused orientation.
Discernment is the faculty to discriminate between the right and the wrong, the judicious and the injudicious, the true and the false. One in whom all these three dimensions of intellect are harmoniously activated is endowed with an outstanding capacity of understanding. He is able to perform the right action at the right time.
He can easily untangle complex issues and situations. His decisions are quick and accurate, and stand the test of time. There is a spontaneous development of farsightedness and perspicacity in him. His clear-sighted competent mind seldom fails to make correct assessment about the future course of events. In this context, the thoughts of the great seer, scholar and indologist Mahamahopadhyaya Dr. Gopinath Kaviraj are worth reflection. The name of Gopinath Kaviraj should not be unfamiliar to whoever has an interest in Indian culture, philosophy and the science of spirituality. Kavirajji was, besides being a great scholar, also an advanced sadhak (spiritual seeker). Once, while he was a professor, a student met him. Him was very unhappy, frustrated and depressed; Kavirajji called him at his residence and very attentively heard his tale of woes.
The students problem was that in spite of regularly attending the classes he was unable to grasp the lessons being taught. In other spheres of activity, too, he felt intellectually handicapped. This sense of inadequacy had even driven him to suicidal attempts. Gopinathji was deeply touched by his plight and encouraged him: "You need not get perturbed by this. The Mother of the universe who transformed an ignoramus like Kalidas into a great poet will also bless you with a sharpened intellect.
Only you will have to make some efforts for this." The boy gazed at him hopefully. Gopinathji continued: "The first step in increasing the mental ability is steadiness. Beware that it is our flickering and instable dispositions that act as a hindrance to intellectual development. To surmount this obstacle, it is necessary that you practice three hours of continuous study daily, albeit increasing the period slowly and gradually. When the body is steady, the mind also becomes stable, and this is conducive to the development of intellect. The next stage in this sequence is concentration of the mind. For this, it is essential for you to focus totally on the subject of your study. Even if you are unable to follow it, keep on trying to grasp the meaning with full concentration and diligence.
A continued practice of concentrating the mind will automatically increase your power of comprehension". Besides these two main elements, there are many subsidiary points; namely
(1) curiosity, i.e. an earnest desire to know more and more about a thing;
(2) company of the wise  we should try to cultivate contact with the learned, the thinking, and the intelligent persons;
(3) self-encouragement  rather than wallow in pessimistic thoughts, it would be necessary to develop confidence in ones own ability;
(4) functional utility  we should try to know the functional utility of the knowledge we want to acquire; an awareness of such practical applicability makes the subject more easily comprehensible;
(5) pool of knowledge - acquisition of information from different sources also helps in the development of intellect;
(6) deep insight - if you cultivate a keen eye, you will realize that the whole nature and our entire surroundings are imparting some lesson every moment;
(7) student mentality  one should consider oneself a perpetual learner and always remain eager to learn new things;
(8) faith in the Divine Grace  it compensates for the deficiencies and drawbacks and makes life meaningful. The Gayatri Mahamantra is the bestower of sadbuddhi (the righteous intellect). By taking recourse to this powerful mantra, innumerable persons with poor intellect have been able to acquire superior intelligence.
A regular chanting of this mahamantra leads to steadiness of body and mind and one-pointed concentration. Besides, the subtle and powerful vibrations generated by the mahamantra activate and energize the whole nervous system. The correct method of Gayatri sadhana and its processes can be learnt by reading Gayatri Mahavijnana (The Super Science of Gayatri) which has been published by Shanti kunj, Haridwar. The sadhana of the elemental force of Gayatri is not only beneficial for the development of intellect but is also a sure-shot recipe for enhancing the memory power.

Vedic Culture = Pujya Gurudev

Fundamental Tenets of Vedic Culture

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

The paramount distinction of the Vedic culture is its spiritual attitude towards                   life and the world. Deciphering the sublime root-element of the material existence rather than analyzing just its gross structure and properties; realization of the higher and deeper realms of eternity, continuity and incessant purity of life far above its mortal, momentary, physical manifestation; experience of the cosmic, the collective, rather than the individual consciousness; have been the basis of this Vedic culture.
             It was only on this land that research on the Sublime Transcendent and Cosmic Force governing all the powers and activities of Nature was initiated and pursued to the ultimate depths. This Cosmic Force is regarded absolute, preeminent and supreme in our Darshan shastras (philosophical literature). Although there could be differences in its interpretations, explanations, and styles of expression, all our ancient literature, philosophies, science, arts and sadhana procedures, etc, revolve around this Eternal Truth.
                  This is what has been the focus and ultimate aim of the genesis and expansion of the grand knowledge and unparalleled developments of the Vedic Age. Our talents of yore were not so well off materialistically because they had not given prime importance to it over the infinite wealth of the inner world.
The penny-less sages and sadhu-sanyasis were given more importance and honour than the mighty kings. A rishi, an ascetic yogi is considered far more dignified and prestigious in our culture than the worldly resourceful, affluent dignitaries. This is why our country has gifted such a rich galaxy of great sages, seers, saints and savants to the world. It has produced great men and women, who saved the world from malice and division and sowed the seeds of love and integration for mankind; they taught and propagated the message of peace and co-existence against conflict, violence, cutthroat competition and savagery.
Therefore, the world still regards India as the torchbearer of light of truth. The global prestige and respect of India is mainly because of its spiritual foundations and deeply insightful philosophy and science of spirituality.
                That spirituality was the core of the Vedic way of life does not mean that we had neglected or looked down upon healthy progress in the worldly pursuits. Our history bears witness to the fact that our religion, our science, our archaeology, our sculpture, our architecture, our astronomy, our mathematics, our arts, our commerce, trade, economy, etc were all at the top of the world and this had made fundamental contributions to the growth and enrichment of human civilization and culture.  

Celebrity Greek scholar Arian has mentioned thus about ancient Indians - "The Indians who had travelled up to Greece and had inhabited and ruled over (influenced) the people here were very prosperous.
They appeared to be the descendants of cherubic powers. They possessed lots of gold and jewels. They used to wear gorgeous silky shawls and precious pearl-necklaces". Many of the Greek historians have also recorded similar observations - "The Indians who migrated to this land (ancient Greece) were very intelligent and talented. They propagated knowledge and taught medicine; they helped civilizing the natives here and won their confidence and respect.". The Indian Culture has given an ideal philosophy and mode of life to mankind where there is no place for hatred, malice, mutual struggle, exploitation or oppression.  
The social system of Varna and Asharma: Asharma: Four phases of one's life for ideal combinations of duty-bond, cheerful, prosperous and progressive life; each of about 25 year for an average span of 100 years of life. The first, Brahmcarya Asrama was supposed to be the age of education and personality development in the Gurukuls; the second, the Grahasth Asrama was meant to be for worldly growth, marriage, and contribution to the healthy progress of the family and society. TheVanprastha and Sanyasa, Asrams of the later phases of the life were set for dedication to social welfare after completing the familial responsibilities and for spiritual enlightenment and evolution of one's life.

Established here is an excellent model of ideal development of one's personality and harmonious collective progress. Our family system still remains a peerless example of cultivating love, peace and cooperation in every domain of human life. The democratic, federal and republic systems of governance in ancient India added to its glorious expansion and stability. The so-called liberal philosophy and socialist system was successfully adopted in our way of life since the time of yore.
         The divine majestic mottos of "Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah" (may all beings be happy), "Sarveshama Avirodhena, Brahmkarma Samarabhe" (performing noble duties without any conflict with anyone), "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (treating the entire world as a family), etc, had originated here and continue echoing in people's life here. Injustice, selfishness, discrimination and cruelty were not allowed in the Indian life in any respect. Those disturbing the social harmony and collective cooperative life were penalized as criminals. The concept and design of a system for safe, terror-free, tussle-free, and stress-free, peaceful and happy progress of personal and social life was founded and first implemented under the auspices of the Vedic Indian Culture. The Indian Culture does not approve of a dry, isolated, dull life or escapism in the name of spirituality, sadhana, etc.
             Those who regard it thus are under a wrong impression or have not been introduced to it correctly. There are so many religious and social festivals in our system, which involve collective cultural activities and celebrations in varieties of forms quite frequently throughout the year and induce joy and energy in the personal and social life. Not only that, the rituals and customs originally associated with these parvas and tyoharas are based on healthy psychological conditioning and uplifting and serve as effective measures for the treatment and positive orientation of people's psychology.
The scientifically devised education system for ideal development of a civilized and cultured personality and virtuous talents is another significant component of the Indian Culture. Spending the most important developmental phase of life in the gurukuls of the wise, sagacious Rishis since childhood, learning the shastric knowledge from them and intense practical training from their noble life, following the disciplines of brahmcarya and altruist service, living and playing in the lap of Nature, and staying in a family like ambience of the gurukul with the other students of different socio-economic backgrounds  all these used to work wonderfully in the integral growth and education of the young student - inmates.

           The system of Sodas samskaras similarly was an excellent mode of psychological and emotional elevation and prior training of a person at different transitional phases of his lifespan. As the purification, subtlization and fine processing of the raw herbs convert them into a lifesaving, nectar - like medicine, Sodas samskaras work as effective remedies towards initiating the internal and external refinement of one's personality. It was this bequest of the Indian culture that had nurtured multi-talented development of the people from all walks of the society.
               This is why India was a pioneer and leader in the diverse fields of commerce and trade, archaeology, agriculture, artillery, astronomy, medicine, music, dance and other forms of creative arts. The first ever-scientific instruments and methods of experiments were also devised on this land of the Vedic Rishis. The ethics of humanity, orderly and disciplined mode of progressive life ranging from healthy eating habits, nature friendly life-style, to scientific attitude and orderly social system, were all devised and adopted first in this country. The supremacy of the Indian culture, which also is the core of its global benevolence and respect, is its openness and accommodating and adaptive attitude towards all faiths. It can embrace all cultures in its liberal folds. It is founded on such universal principles and values that it can't clash with any other culture. As the diverse currents of different rivers commingle in the ocean, similarly, all the cultures of the world are merged and absorbed in the Vedic Indian Culture. Another reason for this natural confluence is the fact that the Vedic Culture has been the origin of all ancient cultures of the world.
The world history has witnessed that the Roman, Egyptian, Greek, Sindhu, and other cultures have mostly remained the topics of research or archaeological museums, but despite hundreds of years of foreign invasion, occupation, political slavery and adversities, the Indian culture has gloriously maintained its vivid existence and global reputation. Indeed, the Indian culture has convincingly proved its liberal and accommodating nature and the eternity of its foundational elements. While the mutual conflicts between other cultures of the world have often been the cause of persistent malice, wars and disastrous bloodshed, the Indian culture has always been an exponent of non-violence, love, affection, amity, cooperation and compassion.
As the learned Poet Mahadevi Verma puts it -- "This grand nation has a gigantic culture that encompasses a superb conjunction and confluence of science and philosophy and diverse currents of thoughts, experiences and ethical principles. Our culture is truly a unique expression of universality". Another inspiration of this culture is the attitude of sacrifice for altruist purposes. While the occidental and other cultures have advocated materialistic comfort and possession-based notion of joy and success, our culture has taught austerity and asceticism for noble goals. Distribution for welfare and social service rather than self-obsession and possession of resources is a great basic value of our culture. "Yajna" the eternal symbol of altruism, dedication, sacrifice and noble deeds is regarded as the father of this divine culture.
The best way to understand and measure the depth of our invaluable culture is to adopt its great values in our conduct, in every act of our life, and set a living example of its preeminence today.

      The dreaded threats to the very existence of humanity, the ever - rising world crisis and calamitous adversities of the present times have made it all the more important and relevant today to adopt this culture of loving kindness, compassion and universality. It holds practical universal solutions to the gigantic problems of this critical phase of human history. It also holds the 'magical key' to a bright future of global peace and happiness.
 Notes:
1. Varnas: The system of four varnas was a social classification according to one's attitude, character and deeds and was later on associated with family-profession. The misconceptions of medieval times misinterpreted it with caste and creed.
 2. Ashrama: Four phases of one's life for ideal combinations of duty-bound, cheerful, prosperous and progressive life; each of about 25 year for an optimum span of 100 years of life. The first, Brahmcarya Ashrama was supposed to be the age of education and personality development in the Gurukuls; the second, the Grahasth Ashrama was meant to be for worldly growth, marriage, and contribution to the healthy progress of the family and society. The Vanprastha and Sanyasa, Ashramas of the later phases of the life were set for dedication to social service after completing the familial responsibilities and for spiritual enlightenment and evolution of one's own life.
3. Brahmcharya:  the discipline of physical and mental chastity. It incorporates piety of character, stability of mind and body for natural avoidance or continence of erotic thinking, carnal desire and sexual indulgence. A devotee used to offer water to Lord Shiva after bathing in The Ganga. One day he met a sick man, on his way to the temple who was burning with high fever. The sick man entreated the devotee to give him water to quench his thirst but the devotee refused saying that it was for the Lord. At night the devotee dreamed of the Lord being ill. He asked for the reason. The Lord said that you did not help the sick, a living form of divinity, and bathed my symbolic idol with it instead. That was a sin for me, and as a result I am sick. From the next day the devotee started selflessly and lovingly serving the poor and the needy as living idols of his Lord. This he considered as true worship thenceforth.

Indian Heritage = Pujya Gurudev

Humanity: Our Precious Heritage

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

No country, community or culture has made a more subtle and deep study of human life as the rishis. It was not an easy task to study the subtle nature of man. For this, Indian sages and saints gave up material comforts and consumerist attitude and researched human life through sadhana. Keeping in view the inferences so drawn they prepared an exhaustive code of conduct and gave instructions to lead the life accordingly.

An perennial Philosophy and an ideal model of Culture evolved in India, the like of which is not found in any other country. It is so extraordinary and comprehensive in every respect that even a little contemplation of its glorious aspects overwhelms our hearts with reverence for the sages. When the whole world was following the policy of selfishness, whereby a person would accumulate in excess and deprive others, sages in India mused what was the uniqueness of man if he continues practising this dictum? Everybody is desirous of indulging in pleasures.

Everyone is willing to commit unethical deeds for earning money. The society is tormented by people's habit of loafing around in idleness. Who does not crave to eat the best food and wear the best clothes? All these are the features of an ordinary man. Many of these tendencies are found in animals too, and if man also wallows in them, what is his specialty? Such an attitude does not make the right use of his knowledge, intellect and wisdom. In spite of being the possessor of extraordinary strength and abilities, if man leads a contemptible life, then where does lie the meaningfulness of the human existence? Superior possessions should be used for superior deeds only Indians have apprehended this fact. For this very reason alone our authority and eminence have survived the vicissitudes of the tides of time. The problem of bread and butter could not be more important for man than the need to understand the aim of life. Even an atheist will accept that human life is a rare gift. It would be unwise to waste it like ordinary people. Going in an opposite direction of the blind routine of the masses, the purpose of human life can be discovered.

The outcome of living life casually "pain and suffering" is evident to us all. Therefore the sages asked: why not go in an opposite direction and discover some new facts? With this ideology a new philosophy emerged in India. It inspired the birth of sadhana. The achievements (siddhis) of sadhana were majestic and great. The dispersal of even a fraction of these achievements resulted in heavenly happiness in the world. The name of these achievements was "humanity", meaning practising the dictum "I do not want it, you take it. Nothing belongs to me; everything belongs to the Almighty God" (i.e. selflessness and sacrifice).

After thorough sadhanas and the resulting experiences, saints concluded that everyone is entitled to God's gifts, so they should be distributed amongst all. By pursuing this guideline, the emergence of free happiness can take place and the world can be kept secure. Without it, there is no other way to establish peace in human life. Worldly glories are automatically attracted to the one who can differentiate between justice and injustice and between righteousness and unrighteousness, and who perceives the same consciousness in all living beings.

A person experiences happiness as a by-product resulting from voluntary sacrifice for the welfare of others. A person whose heart is filled with loving kindness becomes so powerful and capable that material pleasures seem trivial to him. What could be the value of transient pleasures compared to the effulgence of the soul? It is beyond the intellectual capacity of the modern man to contemplate the achievements of sages like Vashishtha, Vishwamitra, Gautum, Dadhichi, Kanva, Angira, Jamadagni, Bhardwaj, etc.

The whole world bowed before their spiritual and material attainments. Through their tapas they had command over the sublime energies of the universe. They could have, if they wished, accumulated material wealth in unimaginable proportions. But they never desired it. Compared to the welfare of humanity they considered the pleasures of the world worthless. They were ever ready to serve mankind. One of the most famous cases is of sage Dadhichi, who permitted Lord Indra to take his bones and construct an indestructible weapon called "vajra" to defeat the evil forces threatening mankind. Dadhichi experienced immense happiness in self-sacrifice, which he had not experienced by attaining spiritual and material powers. Achievements are meant to aid man realise his goal. Man is born for the service of humanity...

function of the sixth sense= Pujya Gurudev

Lets Awaken our Sixth Sense

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

The mysterious workings of nature are unfathomable by the human mind. Nature creates awesome earthly turmoil and at the same time sends down subtle forewarnings to the living beings to keep out of harm's way. Unusual barking of dogs, birds fleeing their nests, unexplained behavior of cats and many wild animals - all these signal to an impending natural disaster. These creatures give intimations of beneficial changes, too.
How are they prescient of future events while ordinary man remains completely ignorant of these? Experts attribute this capability in animals to the wondrous gift of the sixth sense, which develops naturally in them. Sixth sense means going beyond the range of the five normal senses. Subtle perception of that which cannot be heard, seen or understood by the normal sense organs is the function of the sixth sense. The sudden flash of a scene before the eyes which is not actually there is no illusion or psychic disorder; it is the vision of this very sixth sense. Events taking place in the gross phenomenal world have their underlying causes in the subtle non-perceptible world.
The pulsations of these events are present everywhere in the subtle world, and upon maturity appear in the form of gross phenomena. If our senses are sensitive enough, we can perceive these signals. But our gross sense organs have their limitations. However, one sense organ - the mind - has the potential to catch these radiating signals provided, of course, that it has been sufficiently refined and calmed. This is called the sixth sense. The animals, of course, do not have "mind" as we understand the term in the context of man.
But experts opine that nature has endowed other creatures too with special instincts, which they use to thwart any danger as well as for other activities of daily life. Since these animals live their lives very close to nature their special instincts are highly developed. For this very reason, the pets generally have this instinct in diminished form, as their lives are not as closely enlivened with nature as that of their wild brethren.

Gayatri Mantra Sadhana = Pujya Gurudev

The Science of Mantras - Makes Possible the Impossible

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

Healing by mantras is an important aspect of the science of occultism. It can provide healing even in incurable-looking diseases, remedy personality disorders and enable one to overcome the greatest of difficulties. The impossible becomes possible; the unachievable is made achievable. The true adepts in the theory and practice of this science are capable of yoking the powers of nature favorably and positively modifying the course of destiny. What is mantra? The literal answer is "mananat trayate iti mantra" i.e. that whose contemplation gives succor is mantra. It is a unique and potent combination of syllables, which is capable of stirring and illuminating the subliminal world of consciousness. Many define mantra as an uplifting, energy-charged sublimated thought current. For example, Gayatri Mahamantra is the most sacred and sublime thought in the whole creation. In it, prayer has been made to the Divine symbolized as Sun on behalf of whole of humanity for the gifts of righteousness and enlightened intelligence.
But the intellectual understanding of the meaning of mantra, although good, is not in itself sufficient to make it efficacious. It does not encompass all the variegated dimensions of a mantra. A mantra may have a meaning, or it may not have one. It may be sublime thought, or it may not be. Many times, the arrangement of its syllables is such as to give out a meaning, while at other times, this construction is so haphazard that no intelligible meaning can be made out of it. As a matter of fact, a mantra is not created with any specific meaning or thought in mind. Its sole purpose is to devise a method for accessing, attracting and absorbing a specific current of the cosmic energy and its purposeful harnessing. Whatever be the mantra -vedic, puranic or tantric - its mechanism is the same. It would be apposite here to also keep in mind that creation or construction of a mantra is not an intellectual process. However talented or brilliant a person may be, he cannot create mantras. It is the job of only the rishis and seers, whose divine vision is capable of peeping into the subtlest realms. These adept sadhaks, through their sadhana, see the specific currents of the cosmic ener
gy whose presiding deities, called gods or goddesses, make them manifest. The configuration of the mantra is revealed in the sadhaks inner consciousness as a reflection of this manifestation. We may call it the word-image of the energy current or devashakti (deity-power). In mantra vidya (science), it is called the seed mantra of a particular devashakti. Which aspect and for which purpose this energy-mode of the devashakti has to be captured and borne determines the development of other mantras of this particular deity.
That is why, there can be many mantras of a particular god or goddess. Each one of these mantras is capable of fulfilling the specific purpose associated with it. The methodology of a mantras functioning is novel. As the specific phase of its sadhana is completed, it connects the sadhaks inner consciousness with the specific cosmic energy current or devashakti. But this is one aspect of its function. In its other aspect, it simultaneously makes the sadhak qualified and fit to receive this special power.
By mantra - sadhana, certain secret recesses or zones of the sadhaks interior become activated, and he becomes capable of receiving, bearing and harnessing those subtle energies. Only then the mantra is said to have become siddha (accomplished or mastered).
