Mountain and Rivers

 With great respect in my heart for Uma, I took fasting in auspicious day of 2082-04-05 which was also Ekadashi and Sombar of Shrawan month. However, it was due to formation of Gauri Yoga I took the fasting. During Sandhya sadhana I was going through explanation of Kenoupanishad by Great sage and saint Adi Guru Shankaracharya, which by blessing Gauri herself came into light of great delight. It was not the first time of reading Kenoupanishad's translation. 

I could read only first three verses. It opens by questioning who is by which these Indriyas and Prana perform their functioning. Answer follows that Bramha is ear of ears etc. Then, Upanishadic Sage told pupil that they can't explain it because it is beyond Indriya too. To this Guru how nicely add why this verse was added. When it is ear of ears, students wanted to know that ear, then Sages told that since it is beyond ears' reach they can't explain it or there is no way to teach it. 

This is as beautiful as full moon night or everything that is complete. It reminds me of mountain and rivers. Water flows north to south (in Nepalese context) from mountain. Mountain can be river of rivers. Rivers can't flow back to height of mountain (it has no uses of recounting water cycle here), but mountain remains then and there allowing thousands rivers to originate and flow. Like Bramha allow origination of Indiriyas which can't flow back to Bramha but Bramha can alone see their eyes, hear their ears etc. 


(I may never harm truth by my limited understanding and foolishness, may Guru who is also my mother guide me to reach the goal.)

Hindu Jurisprudence- Smriti And some property law

I just don’t have the energy to write against the popular teaching (perhaps I have read the wrong books) that Hindu jurisprudence is contained within the Smriti, mainly the Manusmriti, and the property systems of the two schools — Mitakshara and Dayabhaga (I forget which region each school belongs to). But these are laws, not jurisprudence. I admit I do not know the subject of jurisprudence deeply — such a tragedy — but it seems to me these were laws made for the time and place according to the wisdom of the sages of that era. The Smriti writers themselves clearly said that the source of their understanding is the Veda. So, anyone who wants to understand exactly what truth Hindus hold must study the Vedas. Those who cannot may go through the Upanishads (major texts distilled by sages to teach the essence of the Jñāna part of the Veda). Those who still find that difficult may turn to the Mahabharata (which is in itself a “great battle” to understand), or they may study Mīmāṁsā, Nyāya-śā...

Sabda Bramha-Words are everything

They say Om is Sabda Bramha Vayu is Pratakshya Bramha I(Aatma) am Bramha I am the essence Sounds and letters ignite the mind They are capable of saying new things to mind Though not against Rit of the Bramhanda But they dont repeat they enlighten If that word be Om or Ram or Radha or Radhe or Bramha or Agni or Indra or Savita or ...
