Reg.: GURU – SUPREME - THE MASTER & A SMALL TOPIC ON IDOL WORSHIP

As per the ancient texts GURU IS CONSIDERED AS BRAHMA, VISHNU AND MAHESWAR. In other words GURU HAS BEEN CONSIDERED AS THE SUPREME. Persons who have been following this paper were already in touch with the subject, however it is being repeated for the information of latest additional addressees so that they too can give us their opinion on the subject. Bhagavan Maanusha Roopena – to say, the Almighty interacts with us in the form of a human being mostly and in certain exception cases in his own form which is quite rare and not seen in one in ten laks cases. Guru – the master can not be treated as a simple human being though he has all other likes and dislikes like most of us. This is for the reason he possess unusual knowledge which will be able to reshape us and rebuild our desired kingdom in the shortest span of time. His knowledge is a treasure for us and his experiences are our manuals. As such, a master is a master and no second opinion. IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH STRONG CONCEPT, PERHAPS WE MAY EQUATE THE MASTER WITH US AS NORMAL AS WE ARE AND WE WILL BE SURELY MISSING THE RICHNESS WHICH WE OUGHT TO SEE IN CASE WE HAVE STRONG CONCEPTION THAT WE SHOULD BECOME KNOWLEDGEABLE. Hence a master – either in a school, or in a college, or in office, or spiritually or for that matter in whatever school we remain shall ever remain GREAT. In the absence of this approach, we will surely fail to catch the true knowledge, which we need.


A few fear to keep the idols of Lords in the house. They feel as if they are committing a sin in case they keep idols of Lords in their houses. I desire to make it very clear that the Himalayan sage whom I met very recently made it specifically clear that IDOL WORSHIP IS NOT A SIN and mere possession of Idols does not make any one to suffer. The fear has been ruled as a baseless concept and THE SAGE made it clear that in SAGUNOPASANA i.e. in IDOL worship a person is equated to the related Lord or his force and there upon a sense of ONENESS is attained over a period of time. Concentration or centralizing of energy is gradually or automatically derived leading to further advancement in the subject desired. Hence I appeal to my friends not to keep any fear complex but surely go ahead so that THEY CAN REALLY ENJOY SOON the presence of the Lord of their choice. PRACTICE MAKES MEN PERFECT, you all know. You may now know that HUNGER MAKES HARD BEANS SWEET. Our hunger and our strong desire – manasa vaacha and karmana shall lead to the destination very soon than expected. Let us not accept any kind of dejection.

SURYAKSHETRA –82
What this little man speaks… ISOLATED WE ENTERED THE WORLD ..ISOLATED WE GO
Isolation -------a word which has the most fear creating meaning. Isolation is the “ultimate” whether someone accepts or not. The fear, sorrow, happiness and all that are in ISOLATION. Whether any one of you accepts the word or not, one day or the other ISOLATION has be experienced by each of us.

Quote: It is not the employer who pays the wages, the truth is that he only handles money. It is the product that pays the wages.

In the recent past, perhaps not even three days, I was to pay attention on this subject ISOLATION. There will not be sufficient TIME for most of us to think of ISOLATION WHILE IN GOOD AGE. I have seen, we do not really realize the boons that were granted to us by the Lord. We do not for a moment accept that we are blessed with boons, for the reasons, the other pressures that are thirst on us do not allow us to look at the other side of the coin some time the culture we developed amongst ourselves too. For example, a blind person knows what boon others who have both the eyes. He realized the importance of eye because he does not have one such. The person who have both the eyes properly working have no time to think of the boon he is enjoying.

Similarly it is very difficult for us to realize the importance of our own family members. Normally they are alone available for us to show our anger, uneasiness and what not. We surely know that others do not bear all this unwanted qualities of us. But the fact is that the OTHERS do not run with us for long time. At the best only our family members beyond their “likes and dislikes” try to live with us and bear us.

Most of us must have the sweet memories of the past, the memories relating to the lovely spending of time with grand daughter or our own children. Each of them physically and gradually disappears from us leaving us alone and leaving the MEMORIES only to us. It is a fact. I JUST REALIZED THAT PHILOSOPHY IS NOTHING BUT ACCEPTANCE OF FACTS. This has struck my brain a week ago. Though I was a student of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan studying Vedanta Visarada course for quite a long time, I realized the simple meaning of philosophy only last week. Surely the reason, some changes have come into our house; my naughty grand daughter and grand son who have come from US went back along with their mother – my eldest daughter; my second daughter who got married a few months ago left for US to meet her husband; my only son who happened to be a B Tech left for higher studies and ME, my wife are remained in the house feeling the sense of ISOLATION at this stage.

Thank Lord, having been worshipping HIM right from the childhood days, we feel that now LORD IS WITH US.

The purpose of writing all this is to urge upon to utilize the most valuable time in all sweetness possible with all yours in the family. Try to educate the children on the best and sound lines so that they develop a kind of oneness. PLEASE REMEMBER PHYSICAL ISOLATION IS POSSIBLE BUT SURELY NOT THE MEMORY ISOLATION. Memories live with us and that is the reason why I write this requesting all of you to CREATE AS MANY MEMORIES AS MUCH WHICH CAN NOT BE ISOLATED FOREVER. The time runs fast and it does not wait for us. PLEASE DO NOT MISS EVEN A MINUTE, it is surely the time to enjoy each minute of us with the family members loving each other and developing a congenial atmosphere where one can express their feelings freely and decently.
Again BLIND LOVE is one, which is to be AVOIDED while remembering the episode of Kind Dhritarashtra.
DAY OF ISOLATION IS JUST AHEAD OF YOU, “facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored”.
Quote: MOST OF THE SHADOWS OF THIS LIFE ARE CAUSED BY OUR STANDING IN OUR OWN SUNSHINE.

ELEMENT OF DIS-SATISFACTION
What this little man speaks…
Quotes: 1) Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, beautiful old people are works & words of art.
2) Happiness is a wondrous commodity: the more you give, the more you are certain to have.
Just a day ago I met an aged person. When I entered his house in the early hours of a day, I found him looking curiously at TV and watching a TV serial where only lady villains take a major role. The gentleman, frankly speaking, is said to be a religious person with high level of Deeksha stages. A person with such degree of Deekshaas normally does not find even a little leisure time to watch the waste TV serials of these days. In fact EVEN LITTLE TIME IS MUCH WANTED FOR SUCH PEOPLE TO GROW WITH THE TIME IN THE LINES EXPECTED OF THEM. Early of any day is mostly wanted time to perform Jap and devote oneself to the religious deeds, and it can never be a LEISURE TIME. One may make a little percentage of leisure time some time during daytime to get him refreshed. This is one aspect and the other aspect is yet another interesting matter.

I wished him and entered his room and said that he is really enjoying a RAJA YOGA time. He asked me, how? I was to answer him in this fashion. Normally people try for male children, the gentleman has two besides two female; normally one try to acquire a home, he has two; normally one expects a healthy life particularly free from diabetes and BP, he is totally free from any type of ailment; normally one needs a little money to lead a comfortable material life, he is drawing pension, he is getting rent on his buildings, his two sons are earning and staying with him; normally one expects a comfortable association in family life, himself and rest of his family members are together and leading a very peaceful and comfortable joint life playing with grand children and what not – in other words I do not see any negative point with which he struggles himself. These are all out of the BLESSINGS OF LORD. I feel that Lord is very very kind enough to him. This is time where one can try to express his gratitude to the Lord for providing such great comforts. This gentleman is really one among LAKH PERSONS to enjoy such great privileges. What else can be a RAJA YOGA TIME FOR ANY ONE THAN THIS?

He could not realize the BOONS he is enjoying, instead he refuses to accept that he is enjoying RAJA YOGA, he is totally worried about a small room, which remained unoccupied by a tenant. He might get Rs.400/ rent a month on that room. He says that he put to financial loss to the extent of Rs.400 a month for the past one month. He is very much worried about the poor beggars who knock at his door for a fistful of rice. Live and let live – it does not matter much for him to keep half a kilo of rice for distribution to the poor beggars every day. He still feels that it results into financial loss to him.

Interesting it is, another elderly person probably nearing to make a century was also present at that time. He too was listening to the conversation and suddenly burst out. He was very much worried and said as to how he lost nearly 97 years of life in wasteful matters. He said that he got a revolutionary message from and out our conversation. I do not know exactly what he got. The next day I saw him sitting at his doorsteps and waiting for poor persons to offer them a fistful of rice. HE CALLED ME AND SAID – I have nothing to feel sorry for anything at this age, and I am eagerly waiting for the call of the Lord. It is just sufficient for me if I could be of some use to some one who is LESS FORTUNATE in the society. He said he would devote whatever time available in the rest of his life praying Lord and HE IS HAPPY WITH ALL THAT HE IS PROVIDED BY THE LORD. He is a really a poor man and dependant on some one for his food. Yet he is a SATISFIED PERSON FROM TODAY.
We can know what to do from some one and what not from some one. Where do we stand?

SURYAKSHETRA 80
What this little man speaks…

POWER OF TIME AHEAD OF YOU: I have been repeatedly writing about the value and need for utilization of the time to the best possible outcome. It is one of the most resourceful energy which if slips from the hands once, slips once for all in any one-life time.

18th July – Sunday is one such wonderful day, which is considered as PUSHYA ARCA. I would like to make a mention about the value of the day in literal terms. The Star out of 27 stars – PUSHYAMI is considered to be the most powerful and the best result oriented star. The planet MOON daily enters into the zone of a star and the lunar month is accordingly formed. The star thus acquired importance due to the transit of the planet MOON on it on that day. Rarely PUSHYAMI star falls on a Sunday. For sadhaks, it is nothing but a boon as per Hindu religious system. Probably others too might follow the system but we are yet to examine the same. For the time being this IMPORTANT DAY IS IN FRONT OF US. I have been writing about the SADHANAAS to achieve results. Those who are really interested to achieve something in life should never allow such important days to slip out of the hand.

Now what is to be done on that day: Any sadhana like AISWARYA LAKSHMI SADHANAs suggested by me earlier is the best to repeat. Still I am giving another exclusive sadhana, which will help sadhaks to reach the goal smoothly. Most of you might be aware of SRI SUKTA as per Vedic order. The Sri Sukta is divided into 15 stanzas. It is a simple single line stanza, which can be practiced easily. The anticipated effects for each stanza is given hereunder.

1 Om Hiranyavarnaam…. mamaavaha all round development in life
2 Taam Mamaavaha…purushanaham financial betterment
3 Aswapoorvaam… jushataam success over enemies
4 Kaamsosmitaam… srikyam success in educational matters
5 Chandraam…. Taam vrune’’’ success in Governmental matters
6 Adityavarne…alakshmi overcoming from long lasting poverty
7 Upaitumandevi…dadaatume overcoming from long lasting evil effects
8 Kshutpipaasa…gruhaat power to success in the chanting of mantras
9 Gandhadwaraam…sriyam respect from people
10 Manasa… yasah tongue power
11 Kardamena… malineem acquiring a state of bliss
12 Aapasru…mekule excellent riches
13 Ardraam…mamaavaha success in acquiring powers
14 Ardraam…mamaavaha health and wealth
15 Taam mamaavaha…purushanaham Unique pleasure
Probably only those who have some touch in the subject can understand this. Those who desire to acquire some knowledge; still there is enough time to practice it. It is a very simple and probably the simplest exercise. Those who can chant this sitting under BEL tree; it is all the best. The known source and quality of time is described and the subject is in front of you. In all religious matter FAITH is the most important component. Now please decide…I shall be back again soon…

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.

THE BEST DAYS AHEAD OF YOU – THE GREATNESS OF MASTER –GURU POORNIMA

My dear friends

The best days of the year are just ahead of you. You may be aware, as per the ancient Indian order of life it is said DHYAANA MOOLAM GURONMURTY; POOJAMOOLAM GUROPADAM; MANTRAMOOLAM GUROVAKYAM; MOKSHA MOOLAM GUROKRUPA. It means for all meditations and centralizing the energy the masters physical features are the roots; for all worships only the Holy Lotus feet of the master; for all the sound commands called as MANTRA the words of the master; and for all elevations only the MASTERS BLESSINGS. Thus the master is considered ALL and he is the only ONE WHO CAN MAKE US TO DO THE THINGS.

Most unfortunate, these days masters are made as a laughing stock and the powerful media – cinemas are mostly responsible for belittling the masters and their capacities. The importance of the master is totally ignored. Something and really something is to be done in this regard lest our next generation has to face the results of the egoistic poisonous seeds which are being planted today by unethical elements for a momentary pleasure.

Had we not cared for what our Guru said in the childhood days quite innocently listening to the teachings and all that WITH A BLIND BELIEF, we might not have reached to this level. The Gnana Netra – the internal eye of wisdom can be opened only with the blessings of Guru. The parents have a very little role in our life – we are all born for a momentary pleasure, but refinement and achievements have all become possible with the blessings of selfless sacrifices of GURU only. PERHAPS YOU WILL AGREE !

Leaving this topic here, I desire to present a wonderful occasion where RAJA YOGA can be achieved quite successfully this year during the time and dates mentioned hereunder.

2nd July 2004 Friday Morning 6.30 to 7.45 – THIS IS THE GURU POORNIMA DAY OF THE YEAR.
30th July Friday 11.00 a.m to 1.00 p.m; 30th August 2004 Monday Evening time 8.00p.m to 9.30p.m

Friends, I repeat and request you not see a human being in any master. Master can only help us to cross the oceaon of sorrow and innocency and he is the ONLY LADDER AVAILABLE FOR OUR SUCCESS. Please do not see the physical short comings in the master, only then you will be able to see a mighty man. A person who tries to find faults in Guru can not concentrate to absorb the best qualities from the Master. Thus our own perception and our own inferences remain as great walls for our success. THE MASTER IS ALWAYS A MASTER – WHETHER YOUNG OR OLD; MALE OR FEMALE; HANDSOME OR OTHERWISE; WELL POSITIONED OR NOT.

The great INDIAN ANCIENT CULTURE RESPECTS GURU AND IT IS THE ONLY SECRET OF SUCCESSFUL LIFE.

Let us respect our MASTER – let us remain successful – let us reach the destination fast with HIS blessings.

SURYAKSHETRA- 77
3rd June 2004

Himalayan program -MIGHTY INDIAN

What this little man speaks…

On our way back from 3900 mts height, we reached back Rishikesh. We desired to take darshan of Lord Neelakanth Mahadeva. The temple is a very ancient temple and Lord Shiva said to have drank poison at the time of churning of the sea during Deva – Daanava exercise. Lord Shiva in order to protect the human race, said to have drunk the poison and retained the same at his neck as such his neck was burnt there upon naming Lord Shiva as LORD NEELAKANTH. I know from reliable sources that the Havan Kund of the Neelakanth temple is continuing since long time.

We had Holy darshan and just returning. We were ready to get into our vehicles. We were twenty in number and just then we have witnessed one interesting incident. A person from our group offered two bread pieces to a beggar who was sitting on the road. The depth of hunger can be seen by any one easily from his eyes. He could have eaten the bread hurriedly for his situation was such. Just then we saw one black dog approaching him sitting in front of him. Normally the behavior of a human being in such a situation demands to throw a stone and keep the dog away. Interestingly he has offered one bread piece to the dog and started waiting for its eating the piece. Seeing all this, I could not remain as a silent spectator, immediately I approached a nearby hotel and purchased a biscuit packet and offered the same to him.

He refused to take and said in a very very low tone that he has not taken any food for the past three days and requested for a fist full of rice. He was about to faint. I rushed up to the Hotel and served him plate of rice instantly. I did not wait for the waiter to bring the rice plate, rather I found that humanity is in the forefront than any other formality, thus I carried the rice plate on my own and served him the food. I have also offered him the biscuit packet which was earlier offered by him. He refused to take any money or any other thing and said that the plate of rice is just sufficient for him to make him alive that day. I had offered some money forcibly to him and all of us left the place.

It is not something new to us, we came across several saints in the mighty hills who straight refuse any offering inspite of their being with an empty stomach. Some time they accept and share with others what ever is given to them and we have also seen some of them offering sweets, vegetables to the animals etc.
