SURYAKSHETRA- 79
What this little man speaks…………………………………………………….

Once a person starts experiencing the sweetness and fragrance of divinity, there is nothing else to look for.


I remember to have written on the subject relating to the relation between MASTER –STUDENT. In the Vedic order of life, master is respected utmost and he was never treated as a laughing stock. In the recent films, master is filmed as a comic creating personality and all abusive attitudes are attributed upon him. It has become more or less a fashion of the day for the cine viewers to enjoy the joker in the master and lots of fun is made out of him. The film censor board is a silent spectator and never bothers of all these things and its impact on the students. As per Indian Traditional system Guru poornima day is being observed on every Ashada Maah full moon day. All the students – old or new join together to worship the Lotus feet of their master. This is according to the Vedic order of life of India.

During 2003, UNESCO meetings held at Paris noted that the areas where VEDIC CHANTINGS ARE done are most powerful. The western community is slowly accepting the importance of Indian Traditional Systems and Vedic Order of life. I know personally a few places where Vedas are taught to foreigners – mostly to young children. They strictly observe the brahmi muhurat and any one gets thrilled to look at the disciplined atmosphere with which the Gurukuls are managed these days particularly by the people of foreign origin. Probably we –the Indians - are not in a position to teach our children our own cultural values better than the Gurukuls managed by foreigners.

I have seen people of foreign origin performing Sandhya Vandana, Owposana Homa Vidhi, Brahma Yagnam, Deva Rishi Tarpanaas etc besides Mantra upasana. They now understand the power of Mantra. Probably the caste system and other such have shown their influence on the vedic order of life and may be it is one of the reasons that people preferred easy way than accepting rituals where certain methods are essentially followed. Either people feel it difficult to follow the methods or they do not feel like accepting others support and services.

It is really matter of surprise as to why the Government or bodies like TTD, or for that matter the religious seers do not take interest to create a regulatory body to conduct tests etc to qualify people who can perform rituals. These bodies must have by now introduced some uniform procedure or at least a step towards these reforms must have taken place. A pundit on the Banks of River Godavari does something, which is not that a pundit does on the Banks of river Krishna at other place. The Vedic order of life specifies uniform procedure but then the procedure is diluted and adopted to the convenience of a particular area. Thus lack of uniformity caused confusion amongst the followers of Hindu Religion and over a period of time people feel like giving up these things for various reasons which are beyond this paper.

Keeping all these matters aside, the least any one can do is TO RESPECT THE MASTER. Guru vakyam is Mantra Moolam----------- , let us do something and really something towards this so that we are considered to have put a step towards the reformations. THESE REFORMS ARE ESSENTIAL IN THE INTEREST OF ALL OF US AND PARTICULARLY IN THE INTEREST OF THE NEXT GENERATION.
