Three Mahadevis and the the Cycle of Time

  • Post Author:

Be aware O’ being! Use your intelligence to read and understand the message of time and awaken your sleeping wisdom. You are steeped in so much laziness, so much comfort that you cannot even see the legs of your own bed on fire! There are four yugas, times cycles or ages and each yug has three symbolic reigning divine powers. First, when the yug just begins, Mahasaraswati is predominant. Since the yug is still in its infancy, learning happens, wisdom and knowledge of science are gained for overall progress. Till this time, Lakshmi is not so dominant. Earlier, writers, thinkers, teachers were not deluded by the opulence of Lakshmi. Saraswati is served by way of sadhna or penance. At the time of youth of the yug, Mahalakshmi’s benevolence is showered on this very gyan and dhyan and slowly Lakshmi starts dominating and Saraswati starts to be traded and the yug’s…

The Irony of Cowherds and Cow Protection

  • Post Author:

In the name of cow protection and propagation and rearing,  samvardhan many divine qualities of gau mata are highlighted. From various platforms the meaning and importance of gau mata in Bharatiya culture, also know as a manifestation of kamdhenu - ''from whom all that is desired is drawn” or "the cow of plenty" are often heard. Suddenly many learned people and cow-worshippers are involved in this cause with all their might, just like many guru-swamis are engrossed in pravachans and kathas to save dharm. Gau mata, without a doubt, is a priceless legacy of Bharat, and every learned, evolved and aware Bharatiya knows its importance well. But can the problem of protecting the indigenous cow be solved by simply creating so many NGO’s, hunger fasts, protesting through dharnas and speeches from grand decorated podiums. To solve this problem, first we have to go to the root of the issue, which…

Gandhiji’s tapasya of Truth gave us two potent concepts of ahimsa and khadi -- symbols of karm yog, self-sufficiency and self-respect. Both are unique as they encapsulate and represent the essence of satya sanatan dharm. Ahimsa is well accepted all over the world, and really requires no patenting as it remains essentially Bharatiya. Bharat is the land where hand-made artifacts, from fabrics to architecture, have  spiritual beauty which has a significant impact on the soul. Shri Krishn states that the whole universal mechanism moves with bhaav, feel. If we look upon Khadi as our heritage, then we should all work towards preserving our superb heritage. Khadi is an outcome of our connection with nature, and has to be preserved through the proper channel of tradition which has now lost its pure luster. When our infrastructure is weak, other strong powers are definitely going to attack and seep in to claim…

Spiritual Mentor Meena Om who was also born on October 2nd talks to Satsangh about how she grew up in Sabarmati Ashram under the fond tutelage of Gandhiji and how his values have influenced her life… Meena Didi, You grew up in Sabarmati Ashram. Not only that, you also share the same Janamdin or birthday with Gandhiji. [Laughing] I have made my Janamdin into Pranam Foundation Day. Pranam is a movement like Gandhiji’s movement. Gandhiji liberated the country. Now, we must liberate the soul. This is where Pranam plays a role. Gandhiji sacrificed his whole life for the liberation of the country, but now our country is facing innumerable problems… Yes, there is so much ignorance, but to have the right understanding of this, we must be very conscious, aware and awake. The moment we are aware and rooted in truth, love, karm and light, all our problems will get solved.…
