Guest: Ford Fischer. Ford has been covering the various protests and counterprotests that we have seen since May, 2020. These including the Black Lives Matter and social justice protests, pro and anti police demonstrations, pandemic related things like the anti-lockdown and back to work demonstrations, anti-fascist protests and counter protests, and also the multitude of election related protests during that period of time. Often these protests aren’t easily categorized as Left or Right or pro/anti-Trump or Biden or political party. Ford not only describes the things he has witnessed on the ground at these events but helps analyze what they’re about and what is happening with a more informed and nuanced perspective based on his observations and interactions with the people on the ground. In a bonus question we talk about the recent warnings and predictions that a civil war is brewing.  Ford Fischer is an independent videographer and editor, a computer scientist and web designer. He’s the editor-in-chief and co-founder of News2share.com where citizen journalists and independent videographers and citizen journalists contribute content to the evolving news cycle.

Talk 88 : Verses 298-301 Though avidya or ignorance is the root cause for bondage, Ego, the first modification of ignorance is another vital cause for transmigration. Hence this is a word of caution to not identify with the ego and to use the intellect to transcend the ego instead. If there is no doership then there is no enjoyer, no sufferer. For liberation, the ego sense has to be totally eliminated, revealing the effulgent glorious state of the Self.

The lord of the Ganas. The Lord of Nandi, Bhringi, Riti, Mahākāla and other Ganas. This name can be seen in connection with the previous name Veerabhadra also. Veerabhadra - the Lord of the Ganas. One who is in the form of Ganapati - the elephant faced Lord. By the Vedic logic, son is a part of the father. Gana means groups of people. Like devagana - the group of gods , rishigana - group or a collection of rishis etc . Lord Shiva who is the lord of all groups and collection of people is called by the name Gananaathaha. This name is praised in the Vedas गणेभ्यो गणपतिभ्यश्च वो नम: gaṇēbhyō gaṇapatibhyaṡca vō namaha गणानां त्वा गणपतिं हवामहे gaṇānāṃ tvā gaṇapatiṃ havāmahē Please support this channel by pressing the subscribe button or the bell and support Chinmaya Mission Mumbai projects taken up by Swami Swatmananda, through generous donations.

Talk 87 : Verses 293-297 The perceived world of objects, emotions and thoughts, including the perceived, the ego, the ‘I’ entity, being of the nature of change, are all false. The Real ‘I’, the ultimate observer, the uninvolved witness, is explained through various attributes. Hence renounce the ego and the Jiva bhava, along with vanities of family, name, fame, position and abide in unbroken Bliss, akhanda bodhanam.

Talk 86 : Verses 290-293 To end the false identification, the mumukshu has to shift his attention and drop attachment to the subtle body, the linga sharira. He should look at the world as an illusion and a reflection of the Infinite. Having woken up to understand his nature of satchitananda, he is to revel in his Supreme State instead of the sorrow-filled samsara and drop the identification completely. Hold on to the Reality and then play all the roles.

Talk 85 : Verses 287-289 Continuing the methods to end the superimposition, the seeker is further advised to regard the body as that which is a bundle of dirt and filth and hence negate it for his true divine nature of Pure Consciousness. Adi Shankaracharya ji says to reject body identification and merge with Brahman, and realise the state of unbroken bliss and happiness, which is the substratum of the whole world.

Talk 83 : Verses 279-282 This talk starts with an assurance to the seeker to be fearless and steady in his contemplation, knowing that the karmaphala will maintain and sustain the body. Instead of increasing the vasana pressure again, he is advised to do his sadhana and negate the not-Self or the anatma. The seeker is cautioned to stay alert to all sense temptations and to fearlessly rely on the knowledge of the scriptures and his own experiential reality.

Talk 82 : Verses 277-278 This talk exhaustively discusses the way to end the false superimposed identity of the Jiva bhava. Once the seeker steadily abides in the Supreme Self in the seat of meditation his psychological mind ends and with it, all his vasanas. Developing a sattvik personality and abiding in vishuddha sattva is the means to end dehatma bhava and this is explained step wise in great detail.

Talk 81: Verses 272-276 The three types of vasanas are compared to iron shackles that impede a mumukshu. Body identification or dehatma bhava are the prison walls and bars that have to be broken through to get liberation. The fragrance of Pure Consciousness is compared to that of sandalwood and is as though obscured by the dust of innumerable vasanas which have to be removed completely for a clear realisation of the Absolute Truth.

Talk 80 - Verses 271-272 This talk continues the section of giving up the three main types of vasanas; deha, loka, shastra vasana which are elaborated further in these verses. The seeker must strive to overcome these vasanas through self-effort because even though one may have intellectual knowledge, the intuitive understanding that I am Brahman hasn’t arisen.

Panchavaktraha: One who has five faces. The five faces of Lord Shiva are are Sadyojaata, Vāmadeva, Aghora, Tatpurusha & Eeshāna . With these five faces the Lord does five greed deeds. These five faces have five separate forms also they are known as Panchabramha. The story of Lord Shiva getting the 5 faces while watching the Apsara Tilottama is told by Lord Shiva himself in Anushashana Parva of Mahabharata. Lord Shiva says that it is just to show the power of Yoga: तिलोत्तमा नाम पुरा ब्रह्मणा योषिदुत्तमा । तिलं तिलं समुद्धृत्य रत्नानां निर्मिता शुभा ।। साभ्यगच्छत मां देवि रूपेणाप्रतिमा भुवि । प्रदक्षिणं लोभयन्ती मां शुभे रुचिरानना ।। यतो यतः सा सुदती मामुपाधावदन्तिके । ततस्ततो मुखं चारु मम देवि विनिर्गतम्।। तां देदृक्षुरहं योगाच्चतुर्मूर्तित्वमागतः । चतुर्मुखश्च संवृत्तॊ दर्शयन योगमात्मनः।। In days of yore, a blessed woman was created by Brahman, called Tilottama, by culling grains of beauty from every beautiful object in the universe. One day, that lady of beautiful face, unrivalled in the universe for beauty of form, came to me, O goddess, for circumambulating me but really compelled by the desire of tempting me. In whatever direction that lady of beautiful teeth turned, a new face of mine instantly appeared. All those faces of mine became agreeable to look at. Thus, in consequence of the desire of beholding her, I became four-faced, through Yoga-puissance, Thus, I showed my high Yoga-power in becoming four- faced.

Yagnyamayaha: One who is an Embodiment of Yagnya - Sacred Sacrifice. Yagnya is the central in the Vedic culture. It purifies the environment, strengthens the Devatas or Phenomenal forces through the ahutis offered, integrates the mind of the performer, brings everyone together. All this is most auspicious. Yajnya sustains the creation. Its not polluting. Yajna symbolically means the co-operative endeavour for a selfless cause.

Havihi - the sacred offerings given to gods through the sacred fire while doing the sacrifice ritual Yagya. Lord Shiva is described as havi here because only through havi the gods get energy and Lord Shiva is the almighty God who gives energy to everyone (gods, humans and other creatures). In Bhagavat Geeha Chapter 4 verse 24 it is said - ब्रम्हार्पणं ब्रम्ह हविर्ब्रम्हाग्नौ ब्रम्हणा हुतम् ब्रम्हैव तेन गन्तव्यं ब्रम्हकर्मसमाधिना bramhārpaṇaṃ bramha havir bramhāgnau bramhaṇā hutam bramhaiva tēna gantavyaṃ bramhakarmasamādhinā Brahman is the ladel, the offering or oblations, the fire, the deity, the performer, the goal. The cause alone pervades the effect. The Lord alone pervades the whole universe even as the material cause. Everything here is Divine.

Somasooryaagni – lochanaha - One who has the Moon, the Sun and the Fire as His eyes. The name viroopaaksha already covered this. The Lord's eyes are described as three primary light sources. Hence the Lord is always looking at us through the Sun, the Moon and the fire. The two eyes represent the Sun(intellect) and the Moon(Mind). The third eye stands for the Fire of Knowledge which burns away ignorance. It is with this third eye that the deity of passion(kaamadeva) was burnt. The Lord opens this eye at the time of the dissolution of the Universe.
