lopa

when there is lopa of one sandhya sandhyavandana one gives additionl arghya as prayashcitta ……..if there is continuous lopa .. then sanskara ceases .. so one becomes vrat …. so vratyastoma homa has to be undergone …….and again upanayana sanskaar is done ………. this janevu ceremony again … [ incidentally a recital of vishnu sahsranaam with meaning is equivalent to punahsanskaara ... similarly sutra parayana .............as each letter of sutra parayan gives phala of 24000 gayatri ...... also 1000 japa of purushsukta gives punahsanskaara ............and 100000 ashtakshari gives deha shuddhi ........ so those who have had upanayana [ bramhins ] and due to foreign travel or shudra/mletcha stree sansarga /maans bhakshana or due to irregular sandhya owing to night shifts etc feel like regaining bramhanatva [ sign of loss of bramhanatva is mantra does not give phala .......tejas of face dies down .....irregular breath ..... loss of capacity to command others ......... no screen/scene presence all these show loss of ojas ] in such cases the baove remedies help ……

jeevas

souls are neither created nor destroyed , they exist timelessly without begining , but they are not equal , they have different capacities [ yogyata ] and qualities too . As GOD has not created them HE does not have dosha of impartiality etc .
Detruction is of body , all the souls get a body in the creation and they get destroyed , LAXMI does not acquire a body nor HARi even in creation , avatara etc . hence the are achyuta .
SOul of one post cannot aspire for higher post nor do they recah one . SHIVA SESHA and GARUDA does not become BRAMHA .
NOr INDRA becomes SHIVA .

BUT SHIVA become SESHAin his next cycle of prarabdha and attains MOKSHA AS SESHA only there is no mUKTA SHIVA in VAIKUNTHA .
similaly VAYU becomes BRAMHA and attains MOKSHA there is no MUKTA VAYU in VAIKUNTHA its all infinite chaturmukha BRAMHA .
Similarly humans attains moksha as humans and quicker than devatas.

Hari worship

Acharya Madhva says , there are ten places of worship of HARI , what are they ?
1.chakrabja mandal
2.Bhadrak mandal
3. saligraam , Pratima
4.Surya
5. hrudaya
6.Cow
7.Guru [ bramhana sanyasi ,mata, pita ,vruddha ]
8. Tulasi ,ashwathh
9.Agni,nadi , samudra
10. Keval sthale .[ bhumi ]

Everyday without eating prohibited food , keeping oneself clean one should worship Lord in these ten places [ prateek ] .
Pratima are of eight kinds ,
1 made of wood like devadaru
2. of stone
3. metal
4. mani [ precious gems]
5. mud.sand
6.cowdung
7.drawing photo frame etc
8.imagination in mind [ manomay kalpana]

In temples avahana is not required . elsewhere it is aichchik [ as per wish ]
in photo snana is not required . prokshana is enough

in agni one can worship by giving ahuti .
In surya by gayatri
in water nadi samudra by giving tarpana .
in hrudaya by worshiping japa ,DHYANA of bharatiramana mukhyapranantargata BIMBA rupi HARI .
In guru bramhana by dana bhojana namaskara and shravana .
In tulasi ashvath by pradakshina namaskara .
In cow by poshana . go gras .
In Bhumi by drawing rangavalli .

So everywhere one has to worship specifically NARAYANA in various ways . IN these places fit for worship is , chakrabja mandala . It is a mandala which enumerates the evolution of all vidyas from Pranava . it encompasses all mahamantras . shimshumaar rupi hari and Nakshatra purusha VISHNU .
I was taught by my guru chakrabja mandal upasana and manas chakrabja homa ahuti . it gives much relief from doshas and evolves swaroop yogyata.

on puranas

As VEDVYASA HARI has written shastras and puranas HE has also said elsewhere that they are categorised as satvik rajasik and tamasik , even some khandas within satvik also are tamas khandas ….. Now without these knowledge it becomes difficult to delineate few stories as authentic or otherwise ..
But there is another way in which a particular event can be categorised , they are by resorting to vyatyasa of PURUSH DESHA KAALA and Gomutri ….what are they?

some events in the puranas occur in differently in different puranas …
such differences are chiefly due to change in charachters , change in place of action , change in time zone , and change in sequence of events , which when scrutinised renders the falsehood of the event simply evident ….

for example …
who created the universe ……? shaiva puranas says it was SHIVA … some say It was DURGA and BRAHMA VISHNU ……
So there is difference in character here wrt Creator ….
similarly who drank HALAHAL
SHIVA or VAYU
some say SHIVA some VAYU …

who killed whom , Narasimha killed sharabha or vice versa …………..
Ashwatthama getting killed …….

JArasndha is killed by BHEEMASENA and Sahdeva is coronated , this sahadeva is son of JARASANDHA …… and brother in law of NAKUL …

story of ahiravana mahiravana ..
son of ghatotkach participating in mahabharata ……..

2. some events have supposed to be taken at one place in one stanza and place changes in another composition …………. for example … SUN temple is supposed to be in MULASTHAN [ MULTAN pakistan ] and yet some say it is at KONARK ….. desh vyatyasa ….

3. Kaala vyatyasa —- shwata varaha KAlpa mentions HIRANYAKSHA running away with earth killed by VARAHA and earth is raised and shwetha varaha kalpa begins ie a new day of bramha begins ie satyayuga begins ,,,,, but there is again a mention of HIranyaksha elder brother of HIRANYAKASHIPU who is again killed in every treta yuga by VARAHA avatara which comes after MATSYA and KURMA avatara , if there were no earth where were previous people and avataras did they wash away with earth being taken to patala by hiranyaksha , if it was so then how did hiranyaksha come back in treta ….. so time/ zone differences makes the stories look imaginary ….. rendering puranas a mythical stories for daityas …………..
if properly resorted to kaala vyatyasa narations …………. actual knowledge descends ……..

4. gomutri ,, a story starts and then many sub stories spring out of it , if actual track is not kept then who is telling the actual story the narrator is lost ….
like , all puranas start with suta uvach , then in between a shaunak comes as narrator , and then vaishampayan narrating and the initialy janmejaya listening and suddenly parikshit is askin a question [ where infact janmejaya is son and parikshit is dead long ago ] so how a story being narrated to son , suddenly has father asking a question , was father alive or his being dead is faked … so confusions arise …………..
proper guru will delineate events correctly … defects in arguments are also pointed out wrt these vytyasa .
ie if same person is giving two narration in different puranas then his version is defnitely not acceptable … Shiva gives such narrations at many places himself ….
if a particular event is described to have taken place at two different cities in various accounts then it is not a strong pramana …. it needs further evaluation ….
if a particular narrations lacks consistency in mentioning time of the occurnece of event then als it becomes a doubtful statement and cannot be accepted as pramana or proof for a concept …
if the sequence of events lacks consistency even then it qualifies for a rescrutiny and all the above statements [ ie statements having vyatyasas require further supoorting statemnts to prove what they intend , independently they cannot be taken as pramana .]

these are superficial examples , actual examples will be given when confusions arise

anger, jealousy,pride

anger lust jealousy pride infatuation are hard to beat , greed is hardest to beat …. these are manifested in two ways ….
1.. through internal provocation 2. through external karma ….
first one is to be controlled by taking proper satvik foods , and abhyasa practise of non violence ahimsa and meditation .. only practise makes one control anger etc

2.external factors are not in human hands , so complete surrender to LORD and complete belief in the dictum that good and bad both happen with will of LORD pacifies external factors …..

greed can be controlled by dana …. a habit of dana will slowly bring down greed ..
they say , bravery gandharva jyotishya and dana comes only by accumulation over births and not by learning and practise in single birth …

on lunar eclipse

june 2011 : wednesday , grahana is from 11.53 pm to 3.33 am

so vedha starts from 9 am wednesday ……………………………. so no food , naivedya shraddha after 9 am ………………… everything should be completed before 9 am wednesday ………………….
however those who want siddhi of mantras , they can start japa pooja stotra parayana from 9 am till 1.30 am …………………. however homa can be done only during 12 am to 1 am ………………………………..
dana on this day brings 10000 times punya …………………
makar mesha kanya simha rashi will have benefic effects due to grahana …………….
dhanu vrishabh karka meena rashi subjects will have mixed results………………….
vrishchik , kumbha , mithun tula rashi will have malefic effects……………………

jyeshtha nakshatra people will see more intense malefic results ……… hence dana as per capacity is must them …………

This is an excellent period to get rid of sarpa dosha , by giving dana of silver/gold sarpa akruti along with image of a moon in copper plate will relieve of bad effects like delayed marriage , obstacles etc …………

japa will give siddhi of mantras ………………… stotras will give instant results henceforth if recited 100 1000 100000 times during grahana …………… parayana will give knowledge ……………..

visiting toilet is strictly prohibited during grahana , this gives cancerous diseases ………………………..
pregnant woman , diseased , small children , aged old men women , physically weak people are exempted to eat till 7 pm .

usually food is prohibited from 15 hours before grahan starts ……… in case of pregnant , sick , hospitalised or diabetic , and other inabilities , 6 hours before one can abstain from taking food ………
dana can be done in advance to a bramhin with sankalpa of the time , however dana at the time of eclipse yields many many times the punya ………..

if silver articles are not available , making a sankalpa of the same with equivalent dana in amount can be made to the bramhmins ………… but requisite dana mantras should be recited by concerned Bramhins priests ………….. some temples do provide dana of such materials ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, advancely notifying them of the dana will also get the dosha relieved ………….. sankalpa in a dana is more impotant …………………. yes sarpa dosha in kundali will get mitigated ………….

in whichever part of the world one lives …………… visibility of grahana is more important , if it is not visible then one need not bother , if it is partially visible punya kala will be only upto the time of visibity …………………….

the grahana kala should be divided into three parts .. 1st part for devatas …2nd for pitrus and third for rakshasa ..thrid should be avoided …. it is used for tamas mantras ………..

one tarpana will equal 1000 tarpana ,… it is a god opportunity … also complete a 100 times recital of the same …
follow it with ashtakshara japa ……..
and vayustuti and rayara astottara …

hari bhakthi of mletchas vs brahmins

What is Hari Bhakti ?

Its affection towards LORD with complete knowledge about HIM according to capacity !
The second part is very important . How does it come ? BY studying or listening to Bramhin’s adept in shastras .

Your question is if Hari Bhakti is there then why make such a hue and cry about procedures and rules and regulations and extreme dwelling on VARNA and ASHRAMA DHARMA ?
[
Especially in the background of my answer to one of the non dwijas that HARI BHAKTI is why worry about Yagnyopavita etc ...] Courtesy ISCKON

A very good question logically but a little introspection shows that there is primary contempt towards VARNA and ASHRAMA dharma ……….

Let us analyse this on different planes to evolve a right answer ……….

Firstly let us analyse the term HARI BHAKTI wrt Mletchas ….. Dwijas and LEARNED BRAMHINS ……………

Do all these have similar HARI BHAKTI ? [ your question primarily assumes them to be similar ...

How is it their Bhakti is different and varying in degrees ...........?
I shall give some examples ...........
We all love our Parents ....... universally everyone loves his parents ...... there is no denial of this fact ........... In the west when children grow up they desert their old parents .......... In the east people look after their parents .. primarily love for parent is more than West ......... Can this be disputed .....

even in east certain families live nuclearly and yet keep a close ties with parents Parents are somewhat happy and somewhat sad about the distance .......

In case where everyone lives together happiness is more as there is more proximity and sharing of good days and bad days ........
Even in these cases there are some who give 24/7 attention to their parents .... sacrificing their personal enjoyments some take extreme care of aged in the family .......... These are more loving towards their PARENTS .........
Yet some do all the above and also look after the departed [ a concept hitherto unknown to west ]

some do pitru sadhana ……………..

So what exactly is the difference in these categories ? Are all of them not having the Pitru bhakti ?
If a mletcha says I have pitru Bhakti so what I dont live wit my parent , o what I dont look after them in old age , so what if I dont obey them to the core [ Like Pandavas accepting Kuntis verdict on Draupadi ] yet I have pitru Bhakti and that should be alone enough why make hue and cry about culture and east and west Hindus …….. what if I marry a west and desert my Parent … is Pitru Bhakti not enough …………….. ?

BUT as YOU SEE the demonstration of Bhakti is itself BHAKTI and not frenzy of ISCKON .. for demmonstration of Pitru Bhakti you must know shastra and importance of PITRU from BHGIRATH , SHRAVAN RAAM etc … who will tell all these only a learned Bramhin ……..

In so many different pitru bhakti categories , even if two diffrent categories marry there will be conflict of interest and offspring may not be as good as their superior category parent ..

[ in palmistry there are artistic hands and spastic hands , when two marry the classical question is whether offspring will be an advancement of spastic type or degenerated form artistic hand ? ]
similar question arises with people of two category marrying …
if such marriages are ramp[ant thn total degradation is what can be seen .. with total absence of high culture and infact such a culture will get extinguished [ this is what is seen in west ]

So it has been effectively shown that BHAKTI varies and mletcha Bhakti cannot be compared to Learned Bramhins Bhakti ……………

The more the knowledge more will be devotion ………… so a knowledged man to be happy has to marry equally knowledged woman else they will have differences in married life and incompatibility ……………..

————————————- end of plane 1 ————————————————————

plane 2 ————–

In this world Hari bhakti and shastras will be alive only till Bramhins who are adept in these exist ………. without shastra gyana Hari bhakti is not possible ………. When there will be no bramhins adept in shastras then this knowledge will get depleted and misinterpreted to suit thugs and sinners …………

So Hari bhakti comes with Knowledge imparted correctly by Learned Bramhins …….. Learnings are gene based and not rote learning ….. the quality to learn do upavasa sadhana and japa with austerities are engrained in genes ………… a mletcha however hard he tries cannot stay away from hunger thrist women even by mind …. his mind is ever engrained in these issues hence he is called mletcha …. that is nature ………..

the offspring will also be similar as needs of Indriya are body based and body is alwys akin that of mother …….. so a bramhin marrying a Mletcha will give rise to a mletcha only ……….
so slowly all bramhisn will be bereft of learnings ………..if your logic is accepted ……….. and there will be no hari bhakti left at all …………………………

———————————— end of plane 2 —————————————————————–

plane 3 ………………..

WE all believe in shastras …….. even ISCKON believes in shatras ………………
Highest shastra is imparted by SRIKRISHNA in the form of BHAGAVADGEETA ………….
ISCKON also quotes geeta here and there and everywhere ……………….

what is Geeta all about ………… ARJUNA asking Krishna that war would lead to distrubance in the order of society due to intermixing of catses and VARNA and ASHRAMA DHARMA will get lost ! Why at all war ?

Krishna in every chapter talks about VARN and ASHRAMA dharma . He says to safeguard this Dharma take to arms ARJUNA …

Why is Krishna stressing so much about VARNA nd Ashrama dharm ………..
Some say times have changed , Though message of Krishna is relevant context of Varna is irrelevant ………..
How can we come to this conclusion ?
Krishna gave discourse Geeta in the beginning of KALIYUGA ……… definitely it is meant for people in Kaliyuga only >>>>>> and we are in just Kali sandhi ……

WAS Message of geeta only for ARJUN ? No it was for whole mankind [ ISCKON cannot dispute on this else their revenue model will collapse ]

if it was meant for MANKIND , are we people in KALIYUGA not part
of this , is it not menat for us …….
Then why take message of KRISHNA in bits and pieces ,,,, why not accept it completely with acceptance of VARNA ASHRAMA dharma ….. ?

Who gave anyone right to comment on KRISHNA ‘s message that this portion is relevant and this portion is irrelevant .. I mean have PRABHUPADAS surpassed KRISHNA in determining that “ KARMA phala tyaga “ is relevant to this era and verses explaining “ VARNA ASHRAMA DHARMA “ are irrelevant ,,,,,

OR KRISHNA had no idea that his geeta would be followed in 2011 also nd hence he did not give idea of making it universal ? Even harbouring such thoughts is sin ……

If geeta were not universal [ i mean every verse of it is universal and eternal and has relevance in every era ] SO many ACHARYAs would not have taken so much pin in writing BHASHYAS for the GEETA .

So VARNA ASHRAMA DHARMA is very relevant in all ages …. as KRISHNA and GEETA makes a big hue and cry about it it has sense in following it …………….

Finally if VARNA ASHRAMA were not important ,,,,,, Then ARJUNA wanted to leave VIOLENCE and take to SANYASA in GEETA itself it is mentioned ,,,,,,,,,

KSHATRIYA ARJUN WANTED TO FOLLOW BRAMHIN DHARMA OF MEDITATION OF KRISHNA ………… GRAHASTHA ARJUN WANTED TO BECOME SANYASI AND LIVE A LIFE OF RENUNCIATION …………

WHY did KRISHNA not ALLOW HIM ….. insted KRISHNA says you will attain hell by doing so !\
YOU are a KSHATRIYA so your dharm is to KILL those adharmis …… You are a grahastha and you have to look after the praja and regulate them ….. so stick to VARN and ASHRAMA dharma is what Geeta message ………..

ISCKON claims proprietary on geeta HOW they missed this part ? Or they accept geeta half ….. HALF KNOWLEDGE leads to treacherous death like ABHIMANYU who had half knowledge of chakravyuaha ……………………..

Finally we must have full faith in KRISHNA and accept every word of what He has said and not selectively take what suits us ! By selectively taking his message we are casting doubts on the relevance of HIS discourse !
There is no discourse as sacred and complete as BHAGVADGEETA !
Krishnarpanamstu ….

on mletcha land

firstly all these questions should have been kept in mind before going and settling in mletcha land …
Shastra says one has to live in lands where there is varna ashrama dharma intact in todays world it limits to maharastra ,some parts of gujarata ,south MP , above uttarakhand and below narayana ashrama karnataka ,andhra and north tamil and kerala states only …. rest all the land is majorly without hari sannidhi ………

so living in these lands [other than thsoe which are bhagavat ] kali will be in full force … so however hrd one tries , one will not be able to maintain vedic lifestyle , in the least varna ashrama dharma ………
so when these are clearly laid down in smritimuktavali ….. trnsgressing them and then lamenting for loss of vedic lifestyle is not correct ….
once a living in the mletcha land has been accepted , loss of bramhantva has also been accepted ……… [ in one of the replies i had told one such NRI that one must introspect why He has gone to mletcha land … …

2. once settled in non vedic land which is kali prerita .. one becomes powerless ….. kali foremost pollutes th bramhins its his nature …..
firts yagnopaveeta , then food and then vedas ….so such interfaith marriages are not ruled out because mletcha is a pollutant and instrument of kali …
3. in kaliyuga once you see something wrong with a person wrt dharma , one must shun him ….. and him only and nt his family .. so parents of such mletcha sansarga children need not be shunned ..
4. children no longer can be called bramhins …. no mangtra deeksha , no upanayana ……….. yes naam sankeertana … naam mantra …… can be given ……..
5. now why these things are happening ……….. because .. in future mletchas will teach vedas to Indian in few centuries later …. they will give new interpretation to vedas and life purpose as there will be no temples left and no shastras left …….. these people in the garb of ornge robes from west willl descend and give discourses on atma parmatma along advaita ….lines…………
6. to do so mletcha himslef will be incapable but such bramhin mletcha offsprings will be perfectly capable ……
this is contribution to hari dwesha ………
7. prayaschitta … for whom , for parents of such couples ,,,,,,,,,,,they can resort to krichha and ekadashi , and vishnu panchak upavas to absolve themselves …………. Hari is dayalu will look after them . as it is kli who has engulfed them and they are helpless ……. Hari seva is prime importance ……..and only prayaschitta …

about karma

whatever karma we do .. it is stored as sanchita …………… sanchita is a big heap ….. as i had previously explained … a single life will lead to karma worth 1000 births ……….. so by the time a person dies .. he has a sanchita which is huge and inexhaustible …………… for example a a person donating a land to bramhin will have accumulated karma by this act worth many lives to exhaust … so as a person dies he goes to heaven and when he is about to take birth again on earth ……….. YAMA takes one karma phala [ land dana ] from his sanchita heap and gives him for anubhava and it forms the cause of his birth on the earth and he lives that life on the earth only reaping his karma phala of that karma ….ie now this KArma has become his prarabdha …..so out of sanchita what we are reaping now is prarabdha …. now this karma of land dana is suppose to give many births ie can be exhausted only after say 100 births ……… now these hundred births are prarabdha ……… while living the life come out of prarabdha ……….. the person will be doing many karma again ………. ie in the 100 births coming which is guaranteed due to prarabdha ……. many karmas will be done by the person ,,,, this karma is agami …….as the nature of the man and his knowledge profile and circumstantial fortunes are all predestined . so also his agami karma is pretty predictable .. thus agami karma is also a predictive heap huge which looms large before a person ……. an escape from these is near impossible ………
now when intermittently when person gets aparoksha ……………. this 100 births are still to be exhausted by him …….. he cannot escape them ……… but sanchita burns down ……….so after 100 births , a piece out of sanchita is not taken to become new prarabdha ………. niether the agami touches him …….. so both agami and sanchita is given to well wishers ………
so there is no way we can classify our karma as prarabdha …………. it is yama who does for us …………….. we only reap …………. and only VASUDEVA and his bhakti can relieve us from this sanchita agami trap ………
