POPULARITY
Now we find out what happens when one who is qualified by Brahma Bhutah. After all, we know from Gita (BG 18.54): 'brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām.' When one comes to this point of Self-Realization, one's no longer obligated to the senses in the way one was before. They're always demanding. Senses always feel entitled, "I demand that, and I deserve it! You give it to me now!" No more. There's no more obligation by the senses, and the incredible weight of the world comes off one's head that "I have no more debt in this world, no one to pay back because I have no more connection to the world." Brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā, one becomes happy. Na śocati na kāṅkṣati—no more lamentation or hankering and one has no more envy of living beings, because samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu. Burning envy is a problem in this world, Icchā-dveṣa-samutthena. Mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām -from that position, one is at the threshold of the door of bhakti, and one can enter in easily from that position, Krishna is saying there. So here's the perfect situation: the Kumaras are coming into Vaikuṇṭha, and then the verse of ultimate transformation, which indicates the superior quality of bhakti yoga and gives, by example, the very definition of what bhakti is, when Narayan comes near, we hear that "tasyāravinda-nayanasya padāravinda kiñjalka-miśra-tulasī-makaranda-vāyuḥ" (SB 3.15.43)...

We have a special treat, which is a bhajan written by Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, five prayers to Nṛsiṁhadeva in Navadvīpa. In a very revealing way. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura mentions that by his worship of Nṛsiṁhadeva, ostensibly in Nṛsiṁha Palli, and by rolling in the courtyard in ecstasy there at NṛsiṁhaPalli, the place where Nṛsiṁhadeva himself gives 24-hour darśana (the temple is never closed, because even if you go there and the door is closed, there's still a grid; you can look in and see Nṛsiṁhadeva), and of course, Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura had a close relationship with Nṛsiṁhadeva in that Lord Narahari Deva had helped to reveal the actual birthplace of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. That is, that from the vantage point in Godrumadvīpa (which some of you may have visited), there's a balcony on the house of Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, or where he and Śrīla Bhaktsiddanta Saraswati Ṭhākura resided together and did many of their writings. Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura would look out and, curiously, in the morning time, just before maṅgala-āratī, he would see a cloud of dust coming from Nṛsiṁha Palli all the way to the place where the Yoga Pīṭha, or the appearance place of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, is. And that was one of the ways that he triangulated to come to understand that Nṛsiṁhadeva himself was coming for the maṅgala-āratīk of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu in that place. We find that Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, although sometimes people may say or opine that, "Well, he's a Vaikuṇṭha deity. What are you worshiping him for? Our destination is Goloka Vṛndāvana and vraja-prema." But you'll see in this next bhajan, after the Daśāvatāra Stotra, that Nṛsiṁhadeva was actually prevalent, ubiquitous almost, in the pastimes of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He appears in various places, not the least of which is one of the first pastimes when the saṅkīrtana movement starts and Nṛsiṁhadeva personally comes and chastises the Kazi. The Kazi had tried to stop the saṅkīrtana, and Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva woke him up at night and put his nails into his chest and said, "Don't do that." And of course, there's Nṛsiṁhānanda Brahmacārī and other appearances of Lord Narahari Deva. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose
Lietuvoje vis garsiau kalbama apie demografinės krizės ženklus. Ekonominio bendradarbiavimo ir plėtros organizacija prognozuoja, kad Lietuvos populiacija per artėjančius 25 metus susitrauks 20 procentų, o darbingo amžiaus gyventojų sumažės trečdaliu. Nors demografinė krizė kelia nemažai klausimų, tarp jų – kaip išlaikyti pensijų ar sveikatos apsaugos sistemas, kai smarkiai mažėja darbingo amžiaus gyventojų, – vienareikšmiško atsakymo kol kas nėra.
Once, when I had a legal problem in managing, and it was something that kept me up at night, I consulted Godbrothers, and one of my Godbrothers, Ritadhvaja Swami, so kindly, two days later, sent me a verse. He said, "Vaiś, I think this might help." And he sent me a verse from Pṛthu Mahārāja, who definitely had a problem—Indra. He was trying to do his duty and perform this 100th horse sacrifice. And Indra kept stealing the sacrificial horse and pretending he was a sannyāsī. It was ludicrous and outrageous and very disappointing to Pṛthu Mahārāja, and he became angry. He wanted to kill Indra. The sages, those who were performing the yajña, said, "Don't. Don't do it. It'll contaminate the yajña. We'll do it for you." Then Brahmā intervened, and he came and said, "Wait, everybody, hold it. It's Indra. You can't kill him. And besides, why don't you just tolerate it? Because that's providential." And Pṛthu Mahārāja said, "Okay, we'll tolerate," and he made up with Indra, actually. And Indra kind of apologized, like he usually does. And so there's a way, when I read that, I felt relief. Where else are you going to get relief, except from the Bhagavad-gītā or the Bhāgavatam? I actually felt relief, and it wasn't theoretical. It was visceral. I couldn't sleep, and then I could—that's proof that it's not theoretical. And I came to a point of realizing that I have to tolerate this and take it step by step. I think maybe that's when I invented for myself this mantra of "be methodical but dispassionate." I just keep saying it over and over again. That's what Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā, and that's what problems are for. They're for following the instructions of Kṛṣṇa in the Bhagavad-gītā. If you wondered why you get problems, It's like you go to a class and you sit down, and then the teacher hands out all the papers on the desk and says, "Put away everything. Get out a number two pencil." Have you ever heard that before? Yeah, and that's what Kṛṣṇa does for us, Vaikuṇṭha Nāyaka Prabhu. He says, "Okay, you sit down. Here's your problem for the day. Take out a number two pencil, put away all your other stuff. Let's see how you're going to do now." So what you said was true, and it actually works when we follow Kṛṣṇa's instruction, for instance, Occam's razor—the simplest solution is the best, fewer assumptions, and it's direct. So Prabhupāda, in a lecture, says when you lose a loved one, it's inevitable that you'll feel overwhelmed, heaviness of heart, yes or yes. And so there's a way in which Prabhupāda says, "What are you going to do? You're going to bring them back? Your mind keeps thinking like, can't we revive them, or something like that? And what about the old days when they were here? And what should we do?" Prabhupāda says, "There's only one solution. You know what it is? Tolerate." And when I first heard that, I thought, "That's it? We'll try it and see what happens." And if you tolerate, there's a fruit at the end, because you become wise and you see, as one of my friends always says, observing the events of the world as absurd as many of them are, and he says, "the jagat is on the move," and whatever you think you have now, it's going to go sideways, guaranteed. You think you have something, you'll come out one day and it's at the top of the roof and it's dripping down, it's melted, or it's burnt, or it's sideways, whatever you think you have here. And that's a lesson. The whole material world is not our home, and fortunately, we have a place to repose our affection and our real possessions, as Kapila-deva says in one astounding verse, he said that the assets you get from your practice of devotional service are never lost, hose are yours to keep..

Those who take shelter of Lord Nityānanda Prabhu, who is merciful to all, He is called adoṣa-darśī. He doesn't see the faults in anyone. Adoṣa-darśī means anyone who approaches Him with some eagerness in his or her heart to serve, He empowers them and gives them pure devotional service, which is impossible to get otherwise. So the process of devotional service comes through eka-cakra and comes through Nityānanda and Gaura. Without approaching Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda, it's impossible to enter into Vṛndāvana. Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura writes in his famous bhajan about how when one dives into the ocean of the pastimes of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda, which are the pastimes of saṅkīrtana, then one comes out on the shore of the ocean of Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa pastimes. So, by performing vaidhī bhakti over many, many lifetimes, one may attain Vaikuṇṭha, says Kavirāja Gosvāmī. But if one approaches Lord Nityānanda and Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu in service in the saṅkīrtana movement, then one can easily come to the highest position in the spiritual world, Goloka Vṛndāvana, where spontaneous love is flowing.

Stāsta mākslas vēsturniece Vita Banga, kura jo īpaši interesējas par dzimtā Ropažu novada vēsturi. Ropažu novada aprises senatnē bija citādākas nekā tagad. Ropažu novadu veidoja daudzi ciemi: Ropažu ciems (tagad Garkalne), Ropažu pilsciems – Rodenpois pils, Augšciems, Kākciems un Vaikuļu ciems. Rodenpois bruņinieku pils celta 14. gadsimtā. 17. gadsimtā pils savas funkcijas zaudēja un par pilsnovada centru kļuva Ropažu muiža. Pie bruņinieku pils atradās mācītājmuiža, koka baznīca un senie kapi. Tagad saglabājusies tikai mācītājmuiža, kas uzcelta 19. gadsimtā. Kad pils sāka grūt, tās akmeņus sāka izmantot citu ēku celtniecībai. 18/.19. gadsimta mijā tapuši Johana Kristofa Broces zīmējumi, kur pils redzama jau kā drupas. Vēsturiskie pētījumi liecina par seno vēsturi, un šogad augustā Ropaži atzīmēs 820 gadus. Ropažu ciems Ropažu pagastā pazīstams jau senāk kā Ropažu vasarnīcu rajons. Apdzīvotā vieta sākusi veidoties pēc Ropažu (Rodenpois) dzelzceļa stacijas izbūves 1889. gadā. Apbūvēšanās sākusies kopš 1908. gada, kad Bukultu muižas īpašnieks sadalīja priežu mežu Rīgas-Valkas dzelzceļa tuvumā, un šos apbūves gabalus ieguva galvenokārt rīdzinieki vasarnīcu būvei. Līdz 1914. gadam te bija uzceltas jau ap 50 vasarnīcu. Senāk izplatītas bija pusmuižas, sauktas arī par lopu muižām. Tās 18.–19. gadsimtā palīdzēja uzturēt lielo muižu saimniecisko pusi. Lantes pusmuiža “Lantes” kā apdzīvotas sētas vieta minēta jau ap 1624. gadu, kad Vidzemes arklu revīzijas apskatā min kurzemnieku Lant Jākobu, kurš īpašumā dzīvo jau sešus gadus, iet darbā katru ceturto nedēļu, kā arī viņam ir viens dēls un zirgs. Nav zināms, vai šis zemnieks atnāca uz īpašumu un nosauca to par "Lantēm" vai arī šāds vārds sētai jau ticis dots pirms tam. 1887. gada Lantes-Tiekānu (kaimiņa īpašums) māju sadalīšanas projekta plāns, domājams, izstrādāts pirms pašas Lantes muižas (skaitījās kā Ropažu muižas pusmuiža) celšanas tajā pašā gadā. Tās pasūtītājs ir bijis barona Viktora fon Volfa dēls Džeimss fon Volfs, kurš Lantes muižas ansambli cēlis tā pārvaldniekam Voldemāram Brangem kā Ropažu muižas pusmuižu. Savulaik Lantes pusmuižas īpašumā bija aramzeme, ganības, pļavas, zirgi, govis, cūkas. Pēc padomju varas ienākšanas Latvijā Lantes īpašums tika nacionalizēts un izmantots kā zirgu iznomāšanas punkts un kolhoza kantoris. Muižas ēka (kungu māja) tika sadalīta komunālajos dzīvokļos, Lantes pusmuižu 20. gadsimta izskaņā atgūst Minnas Natālijas Bušas, dz. Bremmeres, – mazmeita Irma Kalniņa. 2020. gadā Lantes īpašumu pārdeva tās tagadējam īpašniekam Andim Pikānam, kurš atjauno muižas ansambli pēc iespējas tuvāk tās vēsturiskajam veidolam.

nāhaṁ tiṣṭhāmi vaikuṇṭhe yogināṁ hṛdayeṣu vā tatra tiṣṭhāmi nārada yatra gāyanti mad-bhaktāḥ “My dear Nārada, actually I do not reside in My abode, Vaikuṇṭha, nor do I reside within the hearts of the yogīs, but I reside in that place where My pure devotees chant My holy name and discuss My form, pastimes and qualities.” Because of the presence of the Lord in the form of the transcendental vibration, the Vaikuṇṭha atmosphere is evoked. This atmosphere is without fear and anxiety. One living entity does not fear another. By hearing the holy names and glories of the Lord, a person executes pious activities: śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ (Bhāg. 1.2.17). Thus his material hankerings immediately stop. This saṅkīrtana movement started by the Society for Krishna Consciousness is meant for creating Vaikuṇṭha, the transcendental world that is without anxiety, even in this material world. The method is the propagation of the śravaṇaṁ kīrtanam process throughout the world. In the material world everyone is envious of his fellow man. Animalistic envy exists in human society as long as there is no performance of saṅkīrtana-yajña, the chanting of the holy names: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. The Pracetās therefore decided to remain always in the society of devotees, and they considered that to be the highest benediction possible in human life.

The second episode delves into a deeper analysis of Tādātmya Vedānta - A Treatise on the Philosophy of the Hari Bhakta Sampradāya, written to provide a foundational philosophical conclusion (siddhānta) based on the teachings of Paramahamsa Vishwananda. It situates the contemporary movement of the Hari Bhakta Sampradāya within the expansive traditions of Vaiṣṇavism and Vedānta.In this episode, we explore the landscape of Vedānta and its significance, examining what makes Vedānta unique among the various schools of thought within Sanātana Dharma. We also discuss the ways in which Advaita Vedānta is often mischaracterized or oversimplified, drawing on the perspectives of saints from different traditions and their experiences of reality.The concept of Vaikuṇṭha on Earth will be examined, along with a deeper analysis of the philosophy of Paramahamsa Vishwananda as well the nature of bhakti and grace.

Even if a person is completely illiterate, the transcendental knowledge of the scriptures is revealed unto him simply because of his engagement in devotional service. That is also stated in the Vedic literature. To anyone who has full faith in the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the spiritual master, all the import of the Vedic literatures is revealed. He does not have to seek separately; the yogī who engages in devotional service is full in knowledge and renunciation. If there is a lack of knowledge and renunciation, it is to be understood that one is not in full devotional service. The conclusion is that one cannot be sure of entrance into the spiritual realm — in either the impersonal brahmajyoti effulgence of the Lord or the Vaikuṇṭha planets within that Brahman effulgence — unless he is surrendered unto the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord. The surrendered souls are called akuto-bhaya. They are doubtless and fearless, and their entrance into the spiritual kingdom is guaranteed.

Devotional service is such a powerful transcendental method that it surpasses all other methods of transcendental realization. The Lord therefore says that He lives neither in Vaikuṇṭha nor in the heart of a yogī, but He lives where His pure devotees are always chanting and glorifying Him. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is known as bhakta-vatsala. He is never described as jñānī-vatsala or yogī-vatsala. He is always described as bhakta-vatsala because He is more inclined toward His devotees than toward other transcendentalists. In Bhagavad-gītā it is confirmed that only a devotee can understand Him as He is. Bhaktyā mām abhijānāti: “One can understand Me only by devotional service, not otherwise.” That understanding alone is real because although jñānīs, mental speculators, can realize only the effulgence, or the bodily luster, of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and yogīs can realize only the partial representation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, a bhakta not only realizes Him as He is but also associates with the Personality of Godhead face to face.

The conclusion is that if one can feed a brāhmaṇa or Vaiṣṇava, it is better than performing hundreds of thousands of sacrifices. In this age, therefore, it is recommended that harer nāma — chanting the holy name of God — and pleasing the Vaiṣṇava are the only means to elevate oneself to spiritual life.

The kingdom of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the spiritual sky cannot be understood by any process other than hearing from the description of the Vedas. No one can go see it. In this material world also, one who is unable to pay to go to a far distant place by motorized conveyances can only understand about that place from authentic books. Similarly, the Vaikuṇṭha planets in the spiritual sky are beyond this material sky. The modern scientists who are trying to travel in space are having difficulty going even to the nearest planet, the moon, to say nothing of the highest planets within the universe. There is no possibility that they can go beyond the material sky, enter the spiritual sky and see for themselves the spiritual planets, Vaikuṇṭha. Therefore, the kingdom of God in the spiritual sky can be understood only through the authentic descriptions of the Vedas and Purāṇas. In the material world there are three modes of material qualities — goodness, passion and ignorance — but in the spiritual world there is no trace of the modes of passion and ignorance; there is only the mode of goodness, which is uncontaminated by any tinge of ignorance or passion. In the material world, even if a person is completely in goodness, he is sometimes subject to be polluted by tinges of the modes of ignorance and passion. But in the Vaikuṇṭha world, the spiritual sky, only the mode of goodness in its pure form exists. The Lord and His devotees reside in the Vaikuṇṭha planets, and they are of the same transcendental quality, namely śuddha-sattva, the mode of pure goodness. The Vaikuṇṭha planets are very dear to the Vaiṣṇavas, and for the progressive march of the Vaiṣṇavas toward the kingdom of God, the Lord Himself helps His devotees.

The only way to understand the Lord as He is, is by devotional service to the Lord, or by approaching the devotee of the Lord who always has the Lord in his heart. By devotional perfection one can understand that the impersonal brahmajyoti is only a partial representation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Kṛṣṇa, and that the three puruṣa expansions in the material creation are His plenary portions. In the spiritual sky of the brahmajyoti there is no change of various kalpas or millenniums, and there are no creative activities in the Vaikuṇṭha worlds. The influence of time is conspicuous by its absence. The rays of the transcendental body of the Lord, the unlimited brahmajyoti, are undeterred by the influence of material energy. In the material world also, the initial creator is the Lord Himself. He brings about the creation of Brahmā, who becomes the subsequent creator, empowered by the Lord.

A Kṛṣṇa conscious being is always engaged in planning how to take all of suffering humanity back home, back to Godhead. Even if one is not successful in reclaiming all the fallen souls back to Godhead, still, because he is Kṛṣṇa conscious, his path to Vaikuṇṭhaloka is open. He personally becomes qualified to enter the Vaikuṇṭhalokas, and if anyone follows such a devotee, he also enters into Vaikuṇṭhaloka. (Srimad Bhagvatam 4.12.36 https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/4/12/36/) HG Vaisesika Dasa inspires us to actively engage in the vital spiritual activity of sharing Krishna Consciousness. By doing so, we not only benefit others but also receive great spiritual blessings.

Lietuvos teismuose kasdien išnagrinėjama šimtai bylų. Nemažą jų dalį sudaro ginčai, susiję su turto paveldėjimu, santuokos nutraukimu, išlaikymo vaikams priteisimu, taip pat darbo santykiais. Siekdami, kad kuo daugiau žmonių žinotų, kaip greičiau ir efektyviau išspręsti teisinį ginčą, spalio 25 d. – Lietuvos Konstitucijos ir Europos teisės dieną – Lietuvos teismai kviečia atvykti ir gauti nemokamą teisinę konsultaciją teismuose. Apie konsultacijas teismuose pasakoja Vilniaus apygardos teismo Civilinių bylų skyriaus teisėjo padėjėja Jolita Knystautaitė.Nors teisės aktai numato, kad vaikas, kurio tėvai gyvena skyrium, turi teisę nuolat ir tiesiogiai bendrauti su abiem tėvais, gyvenime susiklosto visaip. –Po skyrybų ar kitais atvejais, kai vaiko tėvai gyvena atskirai, pasitaiko situacijų, kai vienas iš tėvų neleidžia kitam matytis su vaiku. Ką tokiu atveju reikėtų daryti? Pataria advokatė, Lietuvos jaunųjų advokatų asociacijos narė, advokatų profesinės bendrijos „Auctoritas“ vadovaujanti partnerė Eglė Morkūnienė.Ko gero nuomotis būstą vienu ar kitu gyvenimo momentu teko daugumai. Kiek retesnė, tačiau aktuali situacija siūlyti savo būstą ar kitą nekilnojamąjį turtą nuomai. O kaip gauti pajamas ir neturėti dėl to bėdų ateityje?

1950. aastate keskel tehtud telesarja „Religions of Man“ [1] avasaates arutleb USA religiooniloolane Huston Smith [2] selle üle, kuidas vaatavad pooletuhande aasta pärast 20. sajandile tagasi tuleviku ajaloolased. „Kas nad kirjutavad sellest, et 20. sajandil avastasid teadlased aatomi saladused, või hoopis suurest kommunistlikust eksperimendist?“ küsib ta retooriliselt ja annab siis mõlemale küsimusele eitava vastuse. „20. sajandis on midagi, mis jätab varju nii aatompommi kui ka kommunismi,“ jätkab ta. „Minu arvates seisneb meie sajandi kõige tähtsam iseärasus selles, et siin kohtusid ida ja lääs [3] esimest korda nagu võrdne võrdsega,“ pakub Huston Smith välja oma arusaama möödunud sajandi ainulaadsusest.13. oktoobril Tartus Laur Järve [4] ja Teet Toomega [5] india mütoloogiast, religioonist ja filosoofiast – nii palju kui neid üksteisest eristada saab – lähtus vähemalt osaliselt sellest Huston Smithi mõttekäigust.

Kaip vyko mergaitės pervežimas į Lietuvą? Valstybės vaiko teisių apsaugos ir įvaikinimo tarnybos vadovė Ilma Skuodienė teigė kad mamai ir dukrytei yra teikiama visa reikiama pagalba. Šeimos artimieji teigia, kad kol bus tėvas laisvėje saugiai jaustis negalės. Mamos advokatas sako, kad kol kas neaiškus kaip vyks tolesnis tėvo bendravimas su vaiku, nes vyksta ikiteisminis tyrimas.Sveikatos apsaugos ministerija pristatė, kaip sekasi įgyvendinti sveikatos priežiūros įstaigų tinklo reformą, kuriai pastaruoju metu buvo skirta nemažai kritikos.Lietuvos bankas pasiūlė apvalinti galutinę sumą už pirkinius ir tokiu būdu leisti vieno ir dviejų centų monetoms natūraliai pasitraukti iš apyvartos.

„Kaip tu dar neišprotėjai?“ – dažnas aplinkinių klausimas mamoms, auginančioms autistiškus vaikus. Kai vaikas neturi jokio intelekto sutrikimo, logiškai mąsto, sklandžiai kalba, išoriškai nesimato jokio kitoniškumo, aplinkiniams atrodo, kad problemas kelia mama. Kai net specialistai niekuo negali padėti, tenka pasikliauti mamos intuicija bei didele meile ir mėginti atrasti būdus, kaip padėti gyventi savo vaikui. Ir visai nesvarbūs tampa vaiko pasiekimai, rezultatai, svarbiausia – jo gera savijauta.„Supratau, kad turiu pasirinkti, ar kovosiu su vaiku, ar kovosiu už savo vaiką“, – sako autistiško sūnaus mama, rokiškietė Ina Bukauskienė. „Man nesvarbu, ką apie mane ar mūsų šeimą galvoja kiti, man svarbiausia – gera vaikų savijauta“, – antrina panevėžietė Asta Petrauskienė, auginanti 3 vaikus, iš kurių vienam vaikystėje nustatytas autizmas, o dvidešimtmetė dukra tik dabar suprato, kad ji priima pasaulį kitaip nei aplinkiniai, ir būtent dėl šios priežasties ją kankina gili depresija ir kiti sudėtingi negalavimai.Ved. Žydrė Gedrimaitė

He prefers residing here to residing in Vaikuṇṭha or in the hearts of elevated saints. In Vṛndāvana, while always tending His cows, He gives pleasure to the gopīs, whose love for Him in the mood of the rāsa dance He increases by sweetly playing His flute.

In Vaikuṇṭhaloka the Supreme Personality of Godhead has four hands and decorations like the Śrīvatsa mark on His chest and the gem known as Kaustubha. These are special indications of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord's personal attendants and other devotees in Vaikuṇṭha have the same features, except for the Śrīvatsa mark and the Kaustubha gem.
Įsibėgėjo tretieji tinklalaidės metai ir kviečiu visus, kurie šiuos pokalbius atrado tik dabar, pasidairyti archyve, kuriame rasite jau virš 40 pokalbių įvairiomis temomis su nuostabiomis, įkvepiančiomis ir širdį atvėrusiomis mamomis bei tėčiais. O tuos, kuriems šie pokalbiai atrodo svarbūs ir reikalingi, jeigu jų laukiate, kviečiu paremti tinklalaidę Contribee.lt/kalbamamos. Ačiū už paramą ir už grįžtamąjį ryšį, kuris, kaip šiame pokalbyje dalinsis ir mano pašnekovė, įkvepia, augina sparnus ir skatina nesustoti. O šiandien dalinuosi jaukiu pašnekesiu su Inga Narijauskiene, dviejų, jau suaugusių vaikų, mama, užsiėmimų „Mamų dainos“ ir terapinių pasakų apie Pelėdą Drūliją kūrėja. Užsiėmimus, apie kuriuos plačiau išgirsite pokalbio metu, Inga pradėjo vesti dar 1999 metais, tad pirmieji leliukai, kažkada dainavę su mamomis daineles ir žaidę pirštų žaidimus, jau užaugo ir visai gali būti, kad jau grįžta arba tuoj grįš pas Ingą su savo leliukais. Man buvo labai smalsu, kaip šie užsiėmimai prasidėjo, kodėl Ingą taip domina ankstyvoji vaikų psichologija ir ugdymas, kur ji ieško informacijos, kuria dalinasi su šeimomis, kaip ji pati augino savo vaikus ir ar mamos su vaikais, kurie ateina šiandien į jos užsiėmimus, labai skiriasi nuo tų, kurie ateidavo prieš daugiau nei 20 metų. Taip pat pakalbėjome apie terapines pasakas ir kūrybiškumą. Apie „Mamų dainas“ sužinojau iš kitos mamos dar prieš 4 metus, bet pradėjome lankyti tik visai neseniai su Elze. Ir nors dažniausiai į įvairius susibūrimus mamoms su vaikais aš žiūriu skeptiškai, nes mane vargina didžiulis triukšmas ir galvomis lipantys vaikai, o to išvengti dažniausiai nelabai pavyksta, kai daug mažų žmogelių sueina į vieną krūvą. Tačiau Ingos užsiėmimuose viskas kažkaip taip jaukiai, paprastai, lengvai, neįkyriai ir abi su Elze ten jaučiamės labai gerai. Pirmadienis tapo smagiu savaitės prasiskaidrinimu. O dainas ir žaidimus parsinešame namo, niūniuojame ir dainuojame kai kurias iš jų jau visa šeima. Todėl mielai dalinuosi ir rekomenduoju, jei ieškote kažko panašaus. Smagaus klausymo! Kalbėkime, mamos. Linkėjimai, Marija
The name Vaikuṇṭhapati, which means “the master of the spiritual world,” is not different from the name Vaikuṇṭha. Ajāmila, who was now a realized soul, could understand that because of his past spiritual activities in devotional service, he had gotten this opportunity to chant the holy name of Vaikuṇṭhapati in his horrible condition at the time of death.
The residents of Vaikuṇṭha, who are decorated with garlands and yellow silken garments, have four arms holding various weapons. Thus they conspicuously resemble Lord Viṣṇu. They have the same bodily features as Nārāyaṇa because they have attained the liberation of sārūpya, but they nevertheless act as servants. All the residents of Vaikuṇṭhaloka know perfectly well that their master is Nārāyaṇa, or Kṛṣṇa, and that they are all His servants. They are all self-realized souls who are nitya-mukta, everlastingly liberated. Although they could conceivably declare themselves Nārāyaṇa or Viṣṇu, they never do so; they always remain Kṛṣṇa conscious and serve the Lord faithfully. Such is the atmosphere of Vaikuṇṭhaloka. Similarly, one who learns the faithful service of Lord Kṛṣṇa through the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement will always remain in Vaikuṇṭhaloka and have nothing to do with the material world.
Caitanya-bhāgavata Antya-khaṇḍa Chapter 4 Text 73 sarva-guṇa-hīna yadi caitanya-caraṇe smaraṇa karile yāya vaikuṇṭha-bhuvane TRANSLATION But if a person who has no good qualities remembers the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya, the he attains the abode of Vaikuṇṭha.
Išgirsta sūnaus diagnozė visą gyvenimą vertė aukštyn kojom - kankino ne tik priekaištai ir klausimai sau, bet ir aplinkinių nesupratimas, replikos, užgauliojimai. Net artimųjų rate radosi žmonių, kuriuos ši žinia atstūmė. Simona pasakoja, ką reiškia auginti vaiką autistą - kiek fizinių, emocinių ir psichologinių jėgų tai reikalauja. Nepaisant, nelengvos savo motinystės kelionės - Simona sūnų Mantą vadina dovana, o ne nuosprendžiu, kaip galėtų pasirodyti iš šalies.Ved. Lavija Šurnaitė

Material existence is compared herein to the great ocean of nescience. Another name of this ocean is Vaitaraṇī. In that Vaitaraṇī Ocean, which is the Causal Ocean, there are innumerable universes floating like footballs. On the other side of the ocean is the spiritual world of Vaikuṇṭha.
If one flies in outer space he can go very high up, but unless he reaches a planet he must come down again to earth. Similarly, because the impersonalists who reach the paraṁ padam of the impersonal brahmajyoti do not enter into the Vaikuṇṭha planets, they come down again to this material world and are given shelter in one of the material planets. Although they may attain Brahmaloka, or Satyaloka, all such planets are situated in the material world.
Three words have been used in this connection to describe the achievement of Devahūti: ātmānam, brahma-nirvāṇam and bhagavantam. These refer to the gradual process of discovery of the Absolute Truth, mentioned herein as the bhagavantam. The Supreme Personality of Godhead resides in various Vaikuṇṭha planets. Nirvāṇa means to extinguish the pangs of material existence. When one is able to enter into the spiritual kingdom or into spiritual realization, one is automatically freed from material pangs. That is called brahma-nirvāṇa. According to Vedic scripture, nirvāṇa means cessation of the materialistic way of life. Ātmānam means realization of the Supersoul within the heart. Ultimately, the highest perfection is realization of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is to be understood that Devahūti entered the planet which is called Kapila Vaikuṇṭha.
Persons who are worshipers of Hiraṇyagarbha, the plenary expansion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, do not directly approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead in Vaikuṇṭha. They remain within this universe on Satyaloka or other higher planets until the end of the life of Brahmā. Then, with Brahmā, they are elevated to the spiritual kingdom.
