...e Muladhara (the root of the spinal column), ascends to the Sahasrara to attain its fullness. The life-breath for this power is Prema (Divine Love). This Love has to be generated at the Muladhara and taken up to the Sahasrara. Ardhanarishvara And An Atom In this age of science and technology, students should try to understand the inner meaning of the concept of Ardhanarishvara (the combination of the male and female principles in Ishvara). No scientist has attempted to explain this concept. Consider the similarity between the ancient sages’ concept of Ardhanarishvara and the ideas of modern sc...

...edas and sacred texts or listening to discourses. Just as a gigantic tree originates from a tiny seed, so also the entire universe has its origin in the principle of atma. Embodiments of Love! You are verily the embodiments of bliss and happiness. Is it not sheer ignorance to search for bliss and happiness in the external world when they are very much present in you? True spiritual transformation lies in understanding one's own real nature. Both the present and the former Vice Chancellors of our Institute have prayed to Me (in their speeches earlier) that I should explain in detail the concept...

...an being). Hence, try to realize the unity in diversity by removing the feelings of duality and experience bliss. In fact, unity is divinity, and that divinity is immanent in you. As long as you are under the influence of duality, you will not be able to realize that unity. Realize unity, experience unity, and spread unity to the entire world. Unity alone brings purity and purity develops love. If only you develop such pure love, you will be able to understand everything in the spiritual realm. I will take some other opportunity to explain in greater detail the concept of pure love. If you ent...

... the significance of Tvam is the Guru. One who sits in the place of Tvam and makes an enquiry about the nature of Tat is the student. The Guru stands in the place of sat. The student also lives in close proximity to sat. He has the opportunity of himself getting “sad-bhava” or good ideas. When you are in the proximity of a good thing, then you must yourself get the nature of that good thing. Under those circumstances, the student gets the opportunity of becoming one with the Guru and moving into the nivritti state. If I have to explain to you easily and clearly this concept, I have to draw you...

...arti. This has been explained in Manusmriti by saying that all the Jeevas have this aspect of Bibharti in them. Thus, identity of this aspect of Bibharti with the Brahman follows. In this sequence, the identity between the Veda and the word Rishi has been established as the very first step. While expanding the meaning of the word Rishi, we need to take account of the aspect of the Vedas. In this context, we recognise the inner meaning of the word Rishi. For that individual who can experience the Vedas and Brahman directly, the name Rishi is appropriate. One who can explain and expound the esse...

...s of the Lord. They taught him a twelve-lettered mantra, namely, “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya,” “Om Namo Bhagavate Pradyumnaya,” “Om Namo Bhagavate Aniruddhaya,” “Om Namo Bhagavate Sankarshanaya,” which the six-year-old Narada was reciting with concentration. They also taught him that the entire creation was indeed transient and was only an image, in that it was the projection of Lord Vishnu. They also advised him that desires are bondages. Just as wanting to get something is a desire, wanting to get rid of something is also a desire. The ego relating to the concept of ‘I’ is as much an ego a...

...ies that he can be considered a human being. Unfortunately, today people are human only in form, but qualities are those of animals. What is important is not the form but qualities. You cannot be sure when difficulties would confront you. Every action (karma) has its reaction, resound, and reflection. If you hurt others, surely it will have its reaction. It is only when you recognize this truth and conduct yourself accordingly that you can be called a true human being. You talk to any student of our institutions, even primary school children will explain to you the human qualities very clearly...

... not able to put your life on the right path. The gopikas were pure and sacred minded and were used to worshipping God with a name and form. Prahlada was also pure and sacred minded and he was used to worshipping the formless God. Both were ideal examples for these two paths. People who want to develop themselves along the path of the atma, must have good health and for this purpose, the control of food is essential. By eating clean food, we can get a clean mind and through a clean mind, we can get a clear idea of the goal. Through such a clean concept of the atma, we will be able to get rid o...

...chara—Speak the truth and follow Dharma. Truth is God. Right action is God. That is why the Vedas advise us to adhere to Satya and Dharma. This is a true virtue. Individual Soul and All-pervading Soul Nowadays, people make many attempts to reach Divinity. But they go around in circles because some spiritual concepts have been left inadequately explained for a long time. These are Jiva and Deva (individual soul and God), Atma and Paramatma (limited soul and all-pervading soul), Anu and Brahmanu (atom and universe), sthula and sukshma (gross and subtle). No one is able to interpret these concept...

...inking of only one thousand heads. This really means that thousands and thousands of heads are contained in this aspect of purusha. The word head immediately conveys to us the meaning and picture of the head that we see in an ordinary worldly way, and we think of the Lord as having a thousand heads. This is not correct. When we use the word head, it connotes prajna or wisdom in this context. The totality of prajna, or the wisdom that is present in all the heads, represents the concept of purusha here. When we describe the purusha as Sahasraksha what we mean is that we worship the concept that ...
