Your esteemed...Dear Sir Sri Vaithinathan Hariharan<br /><br />Your esteemed self is very corect to state that anything in the process of learning is taking a step towards growth. Presently one has to start with LKG or Pre KG and reach the hihger levels as per their ability or attitude. But in the process of God Learning nobody is willing to go beyond LKG. The reason is that the body conscience and the consequent worldy pleasures. Love for God is lost and God is taken to be boons presenter and in the worst case there is fear of God and His punishments. As per Hindu scriptures God will never hate, <br />never punish, never ridicules and never will have all other unpleasant qualities. The moment the I rise all the bad inclinatins follow. Therefore the I should be submited to the God. I have watched many mothers boasting that their 6 years old kid is well versed with many slokams. The mightyness of the God for the Slokams are menat is totally for gotten and the super imposed I comes into play. Now one can see how lucrative is the jargon "MANA VALAR KALAI" . The MANAM that is to be annihailated is inflated. All the study on God in India have failed to make one humble and simple. This is due to the fact that the people are always encouraged to expand their MANAMS. When you permit your MANAM to get vanished in SLEEP why cannot you do it in waking. The hypocracy is to be given up or take the decision that I will be like a tiger or a lin or a snake or any other carnivorious of herbivorious cfreatures. Here also the hypocracy creeps in. The only solution is the thinking that GOD alone exists and all the other are visuals refected or imagiined. Imagine such a society. People Live but Do Not Live.Nothing will be there to act against Nature and all will be humble , merciful, pleasant .<br /><br />With warm regards<br />raviAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334154137369618685.post-43600672647870010862011-04-03T10:47:24.751+05:302011-04-03T10:47:24.751+05:30Sanathana dharma

One can revel in all these aspects of life of a Hindu and they reveal their splendor by merely living a life of constant self enquiry based on any or many levels /methods of perception available and accessible to the heart, intellect and soul of the individual. This life of self enquiry will manifest the various levels of metamorphosis of one’s spiritual evolution wherein the reverse process of life takes place. That is as we grow through the inevitable multiple and different forms and conditionings, we acquire huge carapace of irrelevant loads of activities to our life thinking that each one is important, indeed they may be /are at different stages of life important, but not vital, the self enquiry strips us of the carapace of important/relevant conditionings of the past and makes us notice the essence of every aspect of life.<br /><br />Sanathana dharma is perhaps the best known way which gives sketchy guideline for this process of soul’s slow but sure search for spiritual enlightenment /evolution/improvement. The crux of the matter is to grasp the essence of spiritual vibrations in every aspect of life in our own way and leave out the extraneous factors, however greatly revered by tradition or promoted by religious institutions or eulogized by the elite. Everything in any process of growth is just a step, important and inevitable, but not a stop. It is so with mother’s milk [our biological aspect of life]; it is so with learning of alphabets, words and numbers [our intellectual aspect of life]; it is so with hugging, kissing and cajoling as babies [our emotional aspect of life]; it is so with our learning and understanding of different concepts [ our philosophical aspect of life]; it is so with all forms of worship, devotion and all its concomitant rituals and religious practices [ our spiritual life] and so on. This is the inherent wisdom. A normal human being has to go through a process to grow in everything or into something. There may be exceptions like a Adi shankara, or a Bhagawan Ramanamaharishi.<br /><br />We can neither avoid the steps nor get struck to them. That’s why I cannot accept the snobbism of so called intellectuals parroting pet slogans like religion without rituals, god without religion or religion without gods, spiritualism without god or religion etc. In fact I have books titled in each part of the slogan.<br /><br />Not only Hinduism but Bharath matha itself is an enigma wrapped in mystery for any one who has not lived it, one must grasp the spirit of it, which is imbued with spiritualism and jeevan. That’s why a true Indian can live anywhere with anything or even without anything. Whereas most of the westerners cannot live even without a specific brand of tissue paper or at least any tissue paper. Unfortunately no westerner has so for understood properly nor can understand either of the above [Hinduism or Bharath matha] fully unless they live it shedding all their conditionings with their heart and soul<br /><br />http://contentwriteups.blogspot.com/2010/02/sanathana-dharma.htmlbalayogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323646964862915687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334154137369618685.post-45185529810630506842011-03-31T10:58:35.410+05:302011-03-31T10:58:35.410+05:30Dear Sir Sri Vaithinathan Hariharan
Hinduism is n...Dear Sir Sri Vaithinathan Hariharan<br /><br />Hinduism is not a religion but the only available source for understanidng the Universal structure. People are not there but the so called people are nothing but the manifestations of the Supreme. In some the manifestation is peaking and in some very lowest ebb. As such there are no births or deaths and no good or bad. This was the teaching of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. Nobody can either contribute or take away to the structure. When the Supreme does some balancing act to maintain equilibrium, the consequent disturbance is mistaken as individual pain or sorrow. This was the theory of Marcus Aralius. So there cannot be any individual suffering or pleasure as there is no individual. This may be hard to digest and understand.But this is what happens in everyday life and it is exhibited in SLEEP. In SLEEP the individual is not there. Waking is not from SLEEP but switching over to the concept of "I", the body which was lost in SLEEP. This is Hinduism and no one can claim that they are to SAVE Hinduism or bring harm to. Any deviatin form this scripture of NO ONE EXISTS is only a conceit and searching for reasons for the fraud. Naratha Bakti Sutram says that there can be no BAD in the manifestatins and there can only be harmony and peace. The superimposed "I", the body conscience is very much limited and from this finite structure the infinite structure cannot be described. It will be only an illusion. That is why Siddas and Rishis went away from the peopole who imagined that they are there. Nammalwar said " Nattarodu Iyalvu Ozithu Nanarananai Namminome".<br /><br />Thank You Sir<br /><br />With warm regards raviAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
