Podcasts about Yudhishthira

“He (Vidura) indirectly hinted, ‘A weapon not made of steel or any other material element can be more than sharp to kill an enemy, and he who knows this is never killed.' That is to say, he hinted that the party of the Pandavas was being sent to Varanavata to be killed, and thus he warned Yudhishthira to be very careful in their new residential palace.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 1.13.8 Purport)

On Vyasa's advice Yudhistir decides to perform the Aswamedha Yagna or the horse sacrifice. In the meantime, Uttara gives birth to a still born baby. Krishna revives the child and names him Parikshit. Arjun then follows the horse with his army and wins the confidence of all the kingdoms the horse passes through. The only challenge he had to face was from his son Babrubahan, the prince of Manipur.Find us on:Twitter: @MahabharatAudioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MahabharataPodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/mahabharata Hosted on Acast.

When Krishna wanted to replace Duryodhana with Yudhishthira, was his reason moral or spiritual? by Exploring mindfulness, yoga and spirituality

This story from the Mahabharata illustrates a subtle and profound understanding of Dharma through an act of charity performed by Yudhishthira, the eldest of the Pandavas. The story goes like this:One day, a poor man approached Yudhishthira seeking help. Yudhishthira, without hesitation, gave him a cup (or alms) using his left hand. Observing this, his brothers questioned him, asking why he gave the cup with his left hand, which is traditionally considered disrespectful or improper.Yudhishthira responded by explaining that if he had taken the time to wash his right hand and perform the act according to the social norms, he might have second thoughts about the amount he was giving. He feared that delaying the act could lead to hesitation or a decrease in generosity. By using his left hand, he ensured that his impulse to give was immediate and wholehearted, without allowing any doubt or second thoughts to diminish the value of his gift.This story emphasizes the essence of true Dharma—spontaneous and sincere acts of kindness and charity that come from the heart. It suggests that the purity of intent is more important than the outward form or ritual, highlighting the importance of acting on one's noble impulses without delay.

When Yudhishthira Considered Duryodhana A Good King Was Killing Him Necessary To Establish Dharma by Exploring mindfulness, yoga and spirituality

Today, we delve into a topic that holds immense relevance for all of us who are aspiring to join the prestigious Indian Administrative Service: the lessons we can learn from the epic saga of the Mahabharata. Beyond its narrative of battles and valor, the Mahabharata offers a plethora of insights that can guide us through the trials and tribulations of our journey. Lets see following eight such lessons that we aspirants can learn from this great epic: 1. Dharma and Dedication: At the heart of the Mahabharata lies the concept of dharma: one's duty and responsibility. Just as Arjuna grappled with his duty on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, we too face moments of doubt and uncertainty during our IAS preparation. The epic teaches us to remain steadfast in our commitment, regardless of the difficulties that may come our way. 2. Endurance in the Face of Adversity: The Pandavas underwent years of exile, humiliation, and challenges. Similarly, our journey towards the IAS is fraught with long study hours, constant revisions, and sometimes disheartening mock test scores. Learning to endure these challenges with grace and determination is a lesson the Mahabharata imparts. 3. Importance of Mentorship: Eklavya's unwavering devotion to his guru and Arjuna's reliance on Krishna's guidance exemplify the significance of mentorship. As IAS aspirants, we should seek guidance from experienced mentors who can provide valuable insights and help us navigate the complexities of the preparation process. 4. Strategic Planning: The Mahabharata is replete with examples of strategic thinking. From Krishna's role as a master strategist to Bhishma's formation of the chakravyuha, the epic underscores the importance of meticulous planning. Just as these strategies were formulated to overcome challenges, our study plans and time management strategies are vital to conquer the vast syllabus. 5. Learning from Failure: Karna's life is a poignant reminder that even the most talented individuals can face setbacks due to circumstances or choices. The Mahabharata teaches us not to be discouraged by failures but to use them as stepping stones towards success. Each unsuccessful attempt in our preparation can be seen as a chance to learn and improve. 6. Balancing Ethics and Ambition: The story of the Mahabharata is rife with ethical dilemmas, from Yudhishthira's truthfulness to Arjuna's moral dilemma on the battlefield. Similarly, we often encounter dilemmas in our preparation: should we compromise on our ethics to gain an advantage? The Mahabharata guides us to uphold our values even when faced with challenging situations. 7. Unity and Collaboration: The unity of the Pandavas and their allies was crucial in their victory. Similarly, the journey to IAS requires collective efforts. Forming study groups, sharing resources, and collaborating with fellow aspirants can enhance our understanding and broaden our perspectives. 8. Patience and Perseverance: Just as Draupadi's patience and determination sustained her through trials, our IAS journey demands unwavering patience and perseverance. The epic teaches us that success often requires time and consistent effort. #UPSC #IASprep #civilserviceexam #IASexamination #IASaspirants #UPSCjourney #IASexam #civilservice #IASgoals #UPSC2022 #IAS2022 #civilservant #IAScoaching #aUPSCmotivation #IASmotivation #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theiascompanion/message

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi said on more than one occasion that free will was God's greatest gift to mankind. And while that may well be, we have to ask ourselves whether we actually make the most of this gift. In this episode, Thom takes us to a pivotal moment in The Mahabharata, when Yudhishthira, the offspring of Dharma, and Arjuna's older brother, puts his wisdom to the test to restore the lives of his brothers.Like much of The Mahabharata, and most Vedic literature, it makes a sobering point about how we can take more responsibility for our own evolution, and bring and end to the cycle of life and death.Episode Highlights:[00:45] Sequence in the Form of Storyline[03:18] Mahabharata: The Story of India's Royal Family[05:06] Exile of the Pandava Brothers and Draupadi[07:30] Nakula and The Crane[09:24] A Genetic Advantage[11:44] Hurtling Towards Death[13:39] A Pivotal Point[14:56] The Most Valuable Asset[17:36] The Ultimate Vedic Teaching[20:03] This is What I Am[21:57] We Form an Opinion of Ourselves[23:57] I Am Also This[25:51] I Am a Human Being, Not Just a Human Doing.[27:30] Longevity is a Fatal Condition[29:57] Make Great Priorities in Life[31:48] Living in Heaven-on-Earth StatusUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.comhttps://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

It was a strange situation. On one hand, Krishna very well knew how futile his attempts were. He also predicted the end game and assured Draupadi that war was going to happen and her revenge would be taken. On the other hand, Krishna wanted to play his role as a human being. He set off to Hastinapur as an envoy of Yudhishthira who wanted to avoid war at any cost. Yudhishthira was even prepared to give up his claim for the Kingdom. p { margin-top: 0.42cm; margin-bottom: 0.25cm; direction: ltr; color: #00000a; line-height: 120%; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2 }p.western { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji", serif; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-US }p.cjk { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-IN }p.ctl { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 14pt; so-language: ar-SA }a:link { color: #0000ff } p { margin-top: 0.42cm; margin-bottom: 0.25cm; direction: ltr; color: #00000a; line-height: 120%; text-align: justify; orphans: 2; widows: 2 }p.western { font-family: "Calibri", serif; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-US }p.cjk { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 12pt; so-language: en-IN }p.ctl { font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; font-size: 14pt; so-language: ar-SA }a:link { color: #0000ff }

According to the Shanti Parva of Mahabharata after the war of Mahabharata Kunti told the truth about Karna's birth to Yudhishthira. the Pandava brothers were very sad hearing about this and blamed their mother for keeping this a secret from them. They performed the last rites of Karna. However, because of keeping this secret Yudhishthira cursed all the women that they will be unable to keep any secret for long.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When Gandhari's pregnancy continued for an unusually long period of time, Her mother-in-law Ambika and Ambalika were very upset with her. Pandu and Kunti earlier bore a son whom they named Yudhishthira. So she beat her womb in frustration... What were the repercussions of this, and did it bear fruit? Listen to this wonder of a mother lost in longing.

Title: Manifestations of the Divine10th chapter: 20th verse, 41st verse, verses 25-38The summary of the 10th chapter is that everything is an expression of the divine. This divinity is immanent within us. We can manifest this divinity by seeing its presence in anything that is sublime, supreme, beautiful and creative.The central thesis of the 10th chapter is in the 20th verse and 41st verse. It is important to properly understand both these verses to make sense of verse 21 onwards, where Lord Krishna describes his manifestations.In the 20th verse, Lord Krishna says: “O Arjuna, I am present in the heart of all beings as the indweller– residing there I regulate and function everything. I am the beginning; I am the middle; and I am the end of all beings.”In the 41st verse, Lord Krishna says: “Wherever you find some greatness, prosperity, power or excellence – know that to be a part of My splendor.” Wherever we find a unique manifestation that is sublime and beautiful, it is an expression of the divine reality.To make this clearer, from the 25th to 38th verse, Lord Krishna describes his physical manifestations.In the 25th verse, Lord Krishna says: “Among the sounds, I am Omkara.” Omkara is the essence of all human sound and speech systems.In the 26th verse, Lord Krishna says: “Among sacred trees, I am Ashvattha.” Ashvattha is considered the most auspicious among trees.In the 29th verse, Lord Krishna says: “Among the regulators, I am Yama.” Yama is the great equalizer – real equality is possible only in the palace of the Lord of death. In the 34th verse, Lord Krishna says: “I am the all-consuming death.”Death is inescapable. However, it can be transcended when we realize our deathless dimension, as the Atman. Atman is indestructible – it was never born, and it never dies. Immortality cannot be achieved at physical level.Yama explains the mystery of death to Nachiketa in the Kathopanishad. Nachiketa asks Yama for three boons: (1) Let my father not scold me when I return (2) Teach me rituals to get to heaven and (3) Teach me the reality beyond death. Yama then teaches Nachiketa how to transcend death. He teaches him how to transcend our physical identity and realize our true nature as the Atman, which is deathless, and which is present everywhere and in everything.In the 35th verse, Lord Krishna says: “Among vedic mantras, I am Brihat sama.” Sama is mantra turned into its musical form. He says: “Among metres, I am Gayatri.”In the 36th verse, Lord Krishna says: “I am gambling in those who deceive.” What Lord Krishna means is that if someone is possessed with great qualities but is wicked, he implants something in that person that becomes a cause of his downfall. For example, Ravana's obsession with sensuality was the cause of his downfall.Everything in this world – good, bad, indifference – all come from the same source, the divine reality. Just as electricity manifests in different ways depending on the gadget it powers, similarly, everything in this world is a different manifestation of the same divine reality.In the 37th verse, Lord Krishna says: “Among the Pandavas, I am Arjuna.” Lord Krishna chose Arjuna as his student, over Yudhishthira and other Pandavas, because Arjuna was a man of action, who was eager to learn, and who would put into practice what he learnt.Spiritual life should not be lived in the world of ideas. We need to put these ideas into action. We can start our spiritual life by doing unselfish, noble deeds. Such physical actions generate spiritual energy and increase the storehouse of our healthy samskaras.

What does your mind jump to when learning about various important tales from India? If your answer is the soundtrack to the 1978 movie Convoy, you might be Mark Bishop! In this last episode focusing on Indian mythology, we look at various important tales from India, such as the Birth of Ganga, in which King Sagara's 60,000 sons are turned to ash and his great-grandson Bhagirath prays for Ganga to come down from heaven and create the seven sacred streams of India. We also discuss the moralistic tales of The Elephant and the Crocodile and the King, Pigeon, and the Hawk. We also see yet another example of a beautiful woman bathing in a stream in the story of the Ashvin Twins, and we break down their attempt to join the pantheon of gods by convincing a woman to leave her elderly husband. As always, our stories are filled with consistent interruptions and tangents about semi-related topics!  Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions

The Pandavas' twelve-year journey through the forest, where they learn life lessons and develop character, is chronicled in the parva. The Aranya Parva includes talks on virtues and ethics, as well as myths about Arjuna, Yudhishthara, and Bhima, as well as the stories "Nahusha the Snake and Yudhishthira" and "Ushinara and the Hawk." It also includes "Nala and Damayanti" and "Savitri and Satyavan" love stories. Voice by Salaka Raghunadha Sharma

The episode is having catchy story of killing of Guru Drona ,Lord Krishna proveks Yudhishthira to say that Ashwathama ,the son of Drona has been killed ,the reality was Ashwathama was an elephant ,Drona believes and left his arm.

The 10th chapter of Bhagavad Gita is Vibhuti Yoga. Vibhuti means power of manifestation. This chapter lists several characteristics that are manifestations of the divine.Absolute Reality has two dimensions. One is the unmanifested or impersonal dimension, and the other is the manifested or personal dimension. In its pristine nature, it is impersonal and goes beyond all personal dimensions. While infinite, the Absolute Reality can have a finite dimension.Everything in this world – good, bad, indifference – all come from the same source, the divine reality. Just as electricity manifests in different ways depending on the gadget it powers, similarly, everything in this world is a different manifestation of the same divine reality.Depending on our samskaras and the state of our mind, the divine manifests itself as good or evil. We can refine our samskaras through good physical actions. They generate spiritual energy and refine our samskaras.We are not really as free as we imagine. Our mind, under the influence of samskaras, prevents us from what we want to do. With constant effort and by doing good actions, the resistance of the mind wears down, and we achieve more freedom.3rd verse: “Those who understand Me as birthless, beginning-less and infinite – they are the greatest, they are the wisest and they understand Me.”The absolute reality cannot be defined or explained. It is infinite and transcends all possibilities of description. It is beyond the six changes: birth, existence, growth, evolution, degeneration and death. The supreme reality in its highest dimension, is guna-atita - it is beyond gunas; it transcends gunas.4th and 5th verses list 20 different characteristics as manifestations of the divine reality. These characteristics are: (1) Intellect (2) Jnanam, which refers to knowledge, and the discerning wisdom to make proper use of what we know (3) Asammohah or freedom from delusion – ability to see into the reality of things (4) Forgiveness (5) Truth (6) Restraint of external senses (7) Control over thoughts and emotions (8) Happiness – feeling joy when good happens to others (9) Misery – what we feel when something unpleasant happens (10) Birth (11) Death (12) Fear (13) Fearlessness (14) Non-violence (15) Even-mindedness (16) Contentment – understanding the limitations of what we aspire for (17) Austerity – restrain our aspirations and desires (18) Charity – wisdom to know that material things do not give contentment (19) Reputation (20) ill-fame.Regarding death (11th quality), Yaksha posed a question to Yudhishthira – “What is the most mysterious fact of life?” In answer, Yudhishthira said – “Every minute and second, we see so many creatures moving towards the abode of death. Still, we believe that we will not have to join this procession. This is the most mysterious fact of life.”Regarding Asammohah (3rd quality), Shankaracharya says that through purity of mind we develop the ability to look deep into things and understand their true nature. An intellectual person is not necessarily the wisest. There are others, who may not be educated, but are wise and can see deep into things. Such wisdom is a manifestation of the divine.To perceive things as they are, we should take an interest in higher ideas, develop a discerning wisdom and have a higher ideal in life, which can help us focus our energies in one direction.Both positive and negative characteristics are mentioned in this list as manifestations of the divine. In Vedanta, evil is not a separate category from good. Vedanta believes in the doctrine of error, not doctrine of evil. Error refers to our ignorance, which prevents us from recognizing the divine within.6th verse: “The seven great rishis, the four great ancestors, and the Manus – they are born from My mind. All creatures in this world emerge from them.”The essence of this verse is that the wisdom of all the great ancestors of humanity comes from the divine reality.

Guru Drona and his army conspicuously moved to arrest Yudhishthira ,but it went futile Chase as Arjuna came to the war place and rescued Yudhishthira.Bhism Pitamah was ready to quit the world for abode to heaven.

Days passed and the Pandavas had completed almost ten months in the Matsya Kingdom. Queen Sudeshna had a brother, Kichaka, the commander in chief of the Virata's army and extremely proud and vain. King Virata actually was powerless without him. The real ruler was Kichaka. He once saw Draupadi and was smitten by her beauty and wanted her as his queen. While Draupadi had clearly mentioned to Queen Sudhishna that she was already married to five celestial beings and whoever tried to trouble her would themselves be in trouble, but Kichaka wouldn't listen. He insisted on having Draupadi as his queen. One day when Draupadi went near Kichaka's dwelling to perform her household chores, Kichaka started troubling her. She ran from there to the main courtroom but cold Kichaka pushed her down to the ground and insulted her in front of everyone. No one came to her help. Angry and fuming; Draupadi went to Bhima and insisted that Kichaka should be taught a lesson for his behavior. They came up with a clever plan. They put off all the lights of a dark hall. Bhima wrapped a sari around him and sat there like a woman. Kichaka thought it was Draupadi. As he came near, Bhima pounced on him and there was a fierce fight. Bhima with all his anger and disgust crushed Kichaka. Draupadi announced to the guards that her Gandharva husbands were angry with Kichaka and they killed him. Everyone knew how powerful Kichaka was and that no one other than Balarama and Bhima had the ability to kill Kichaka. The news spread far and wide and reached Duryodhana, who was waiting for a chance to find the Pandavas and decided to attack the Matsya Kingdom. As soon as King Virata heard this, he was shaken. He had always depended on Kichaka and without him, he didn't know what to do. Yudhishthira , the advisor reassured him that he was also a good warrior and could help him. He along with Bhima, Nakul and Sahadev went on to fight with Kaurava's army.  But Duryodhana's army attacked the kingdom from a different direction. King Virata's son Uttara came forward to defend the kingdom and reached the battlefield with Arjuna as his charioteer.  In the battle, Uttara was scared to see the massive enemy's army. Arjuna took him to the Shami tree and asked to pull out the weapons.  As soon as Uttara saw the weapons, he recognized Arjuna.  Arjuna told him about the other Pandavas who were at the palace and also the reason why they had hidden there.  They quickly got onto the chariot and approached the army. Arjuna's teacher Dronacharya and his great grandfather Bhima could immediately make out that the one riding in the chariot was none other than Arjuna himself. Even Duryodhana was jumping with joy thinking that he had found the Pandavas during the anonymous exile year and they will now have to repeat the 13 years of exile again.

-9th chapter: verses 11, 12, 13, 14, 15-The lecture was given by Swami Tattwamayananda on September 24, 2021.-11th verse: “People who are not aware of my higher nature, they consider me as a human being. They do not recognize Me in my spiritual dimension as the divine principle in everything.”-Our concept of God depends on our own spiritual evolution. Hinduism doesn't consider anyone's view of God as wrong. Among seven billion people of the world, each person's idea of the highest reality represents that person's spiritual evolution. At the highest level, God is one divine reality present everywhere and in everything.-Lord Krishna says in the Gita: “Everyone follows his or her own path. Whether they are aware of it or not, every person is approaching Me.”-12th verse: “Certain people, who do unnecessary, useless things out of vain knowledge, ignorance, haughtiness – they are possessed of the quality of evil-doers (asuri-sampat).-13th verse: “The great souled ones, they are possessed of the divine nature (daivi-sampat). They know Me as the origin and as immutable. They worship Me with a dedicated mind.”-Our temperaments are determined by a combination of the three gunas – sattva guna, rajo guna and tamo guna. Sattva guna is the highest and most sublime. It manifests itself as wisdom and serenity. Rajo guna manifests itself as dynamism and ambition. Tamo guna manifests itself as laziness and delusion.-None of the gunas can exist alone in anyone. Every human temperament is a combination of these gunas. For example, a person cannot have just sattva-guna. To practice, sattva-guna, he needs intelligence, strength and the ability to see through the game played by others.-Asuri-sampat is natural to asuras. They have a combination of rajo-guna and tamo-guna, with tamo-guna being the dominant. They have no sattva-guna. Their actions are guided by evil motives.-Daivi-sampat is natural to noble-hearted persons. They have a combination of sattva-guna and rajo-guna, with sattva-guna being the dominant. They have no tamo-guna. Their actions are guided by noble motives. They are active but self-restrained.-Verses 1, 2 and 3 of 16th chapter provide the characteristics of people endowed with divine wealth (daivi-sampat). Examples of such characteristics are fearlessness, purity, interest in scriptures, practice of non-violence, boldness and fortitude. Those who possess these virtues have entered the path of manifesting their inner divinity. -Fortitude and boldness are mentioned in the qualities of a sattvic person. They help to protect the good qualities from being hijacked by others. Goodness, to be good, should be combined with spiritual strength. This strength is necessary in spiritual practice to help us raise ourselves and to face obstacles from the external world and from our own mind.-Lord Krishna introduces daivi-sampat and asuri-sampat in the 9th chapter to help us understand the true meaning of spirituality. Sattvic qualities have to be combined with spiritual strength, to practice and defend the high values. Characters in Mahabharata, such as Yudhishthira and Bhishma, show that only sattvic qualities do not make one perfect – it needs to be combined with spiritual strength. In Mahabharata, only Lord Krishna had the sattvic qualities and the strength to implement them.-14th verse: “These great souled persons – they uphold these values and worship Me. They live in this world, do their duties, but are not deluded by the phenomenal world, which is impermanent.”-15th verse: “These people of divine qualities, they practice jnana-yajna. Some of them devote their life to the realization and practice of the Advaitic spiritual truth – the unity and oneness of existence. Others practice dualistic philosophy, ritualistically worshipping God as a divine, compassionate being. Both are following the same spiritual path.”-Yajna in Gita refers to any noble activity done with a sense of sanctity and sacredness, for the good of others, without selfish motives, and as an offering to God.-One may begin spiritual life at a temple with rituals. As he evolves, his idea of God evolves. At the highest level, he sees God everywhere and in everything.-Shankaracharya gives a way to determine whether one has reached the highest level of seeing the divine present everywhere and in everything. Such a person starts practicing sama (calmness) and dama (self-control).-We can develop dispassion when we understand the limitations of the phenomenal world. Health, wealth, friendships – all are of a fleeting nature. Once we understand it, the natural result is that we look for something higher.-In dualism, God is seen and distinct and different from creation. In non-dualism, the creator is seen as present in creation. Non-dualism is a matter of one's experience – it is not philosophy. At the mystical level, monotheism becomes non-dual.

Dronacharya was the archery teacher for the Kauravas and Pandavas. In those days, Dronacharya was matchless in archery. Dronacharya had a son named Ashwatthwama. He was named Ashwatthwama because as soon as he was born he started neighing like a horse, and “Ashwa” means horse. Dronacharya was extremely fond of his son. Ashwatthwama learned archery from his father and became a great hero. Ashwatthwama's mother was the sister of another great archer, Kripacharya. Kripacharya also helped Ashwatthwama, as well as the Kauravas and Pandavas, in archery. It was also Kripacharya who had requested Dronacharya to teach the Pandavas and Kauravas after him. They were very close relatives. Ashwatthwama learned many secret ways to use the bow and arrow and soon became an expert. The Pandavas were in the forest because of Arjuna's and Yudhishthira's defeat in a game of dice with Duryodhana and the Kauravas. Ashwatthwama knew that Krishna was very fond of the Pandavas, especially Arjuna. So he thought, “This is the time for me to go to Krishna and get something from him.” He went to Krishna and said, “I am giving you my most powerful weapon, the Brahmashira. It can kill anyone when it is used against them. Will you not give me your Sudharshan Chakra disc in return? Will you not trade with me? I would be so grateful,” Krishna said, “Wonderful! I am ready to exchange. Please take it.” Ashwatthwama tried to lift the Chakra disc up, but it was impossible for him to lift it. Krishna said, “Young man, you cannot even lift my weapon. How are you going to use it?” Ashwatthwama was embarrassed and ashamed. Krishna smiled at him saying, “Be satisfied with what you have and fight against others with the help of your weapon. My weapon is too heavy for you.”

-9th chapter: verses 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13-The lecture was given by Swami Tattwamayananda on June 25, 2021.-8th verse: “Animating My own prakriti, I project this whole multitude of different beings. Then they exist, but they are helpless and not free.”-So long as we are attached to prakriti, under the influence of the three gunas, we are in a state of helplessness and we are not free – we are slaves in the hands of our own samskaras. We are helpless against old age, sickness and death.-We spend most of our lifetime confronting the problem of death – we may be able to postpone it, but we cannot avoid it. Yaksha posed a question to Yudhishthira – “What is the most mysterious fact of life?” In answer, Yudhishthira said – “Every minute and second, we see so many creatures moving towards the abode of death. Still, we believe that we will not have to join this procession. This is the most mysterious fact of life.”-When a person asks the question - “what is the nature of death?” – that is the beginning of his higher spiritual evolution. Nachiketa's story and his three boons from Kathopanishad is a good illustration of this spiritual evolution. The three boons that Nachiketa asks are: (1) Let my father not scold me when I return (2) Teach me rituals to get to heaven and (3) Teach me the reality beyond death. Yama then describes life as a journey for highest spiritual enlightenment.-9th and 10th verses: “I am the one behind this cycle of creation. Presided over by Me, Prakriti brings forth moving and unmoving things. I am there in everything, but I am not part of it. I am the immanent, inherent, divine principle present in everything, and that regulates everything. But I remain uninvolved, unattached.”-Brahman does not have a purpose and remains unaffected. Prakriti produces moving and unmoving things as manifestation from the causal form. Dissolution is effect going back to its causal form.-An iceberg is not a creation – rather, it is just a projection of water. Similarly, in Vedanta, the world is not a creation – rather, it is a projection, and not separate from its causal form.-11th verse: “People who are not aware of my higher nature, they consider me as a human being. They do not recognize Me in my spiritual dimension as the divine principle in everything.”-This idea of God creating the visible world is illustrated through a magician performing the “Indian Rope Trick “in Shankaracharya's commentary on the Mandukya Karika. When the magician performs his magic, only the magician is real. The magic is delusion. Similarly, God is the magician and real. The whole creation is like magic, which is only relatively real.-In a semi-dark room, we may mistake a rope to be a snake and try to run away. When we bring light, what we formerly misunderstood to be a snake is now recognized as a rope. As a snake, it is unreal. As rope, it is real.-A jivan-mukta realizes the relative nature of the phenomenal world. At the same time, he becomes more humane, showing friendliness, generosity and compassion towards everyone. He does so without being bound.-12th verse: “Certain people, who do unnecessary, useless things out of vain knowledge, ignorance, haughtiness – they are possessed of the quality of evil-doers (asuri-sampat).-13th verse: “The great souled ones, they are possessed of the divine nature (daivi-sampat). They know Me as the origin and as immutable. They worship Me with a dedicated mind.”-Verses 1, 2 and 3 of 16th chapter provide 26 characteristics of people endowed with divine wealth (daivi-sampat). Examples of such characteristics are fearlessness, purity, interest in scriptures and practice of non-violence. Those who possess these virtues have entered the path of manifesting their inner divinity. -Shankaracharya describes the characteristics of a sattvic person. Such a person reads and gets knowledge of higher virtues from scriptures, which are recorded diaries of the path traveled by realized teachers. He then internalizes these teachings and practices them in his life.”-Such a sattvic person is bold, speaks the truth, is forgiving, practices purity, and has no hatred or pride.-Strong will is necessary for spiritual practice to help us raise ourselves and to face obstacles from the external world and from our own mind.-True strength comes when it is devoid of pride and is enriched by a sense of renunciation and non-attachment. Lord Krishna says in the 11th verse of the 7th chapter of the Gita: “Of the strong, I am their strength that is devoid of desire and attachment.”-Saints and mystics, such as Swami Vivekananda, demonstrated strong will to raise themselves in their spiritual life. They were very humble, but behind their humility was great Atma-balam – the inner strength of Atman. The strength of a great person who uses it for the good of others - that transcendental touch is an expression of the divine.-In the concluding verse of each Gita class, we say: “Hari Om Tat Sat. Sri Ramakrishna Arpanam Astu”. It means we offer everything to Vishnu and Sri Ramakrishna. Om is the auspicious word symbol of the essence of the Vedas.

As the story continued, Arjuna reached the Himalayas and started to pursue penance. One day, a wild boar surged towards him and was about to attack. Arjuna being alert, pulled his bow and shot the boar. At the same time, another bow also hit the boar. Surprised Arjuna saw a hunter standing with a bow. Both of them started arguing about who hit the prey first.  Arjuna wondered who the hunter was, so he decided to pray to Lord Shiva. He then noticed that all the flowers which Arjuna offered to Lord Shiva were around the hunter's neck. The Hunter, indeed, was Lord Shiva in disguise to test Arjuna's strength. Lord Shiva blessed Arjuna with one of the most powerful weapons, the Pashupatastra. He also got several other celestial weapons from Lord Shiva. Arjuna had become invincible after obtaining all the divine and celestial weapons. Arjuna was then invited by Indra, the King of gods and also Arjuna's divine father. Urvasi, one of the apsaras, cursed Arjuna to become a eunuch, i.e. neither a man nor a woman, for dismissing her and not paying attention to her. But Lord Indra explained to Arjuna that this curse was a boon that would help him during the year. While Arjuna enjoyed his stay in Indraloka, his brother and wife Draupadi were missing him. They spent many years without Arjuna. One day a sage called Brihadaswa visited them and narrated a story of King Nala, who also lost everything in a game of dice just like the Pandavas. But in the end, he emerged victorious, regaining his kingdom, his wife, and also his health. This story helped Yudhishthira to gain his confidence and look forward to better days. They all visited many sacred places and heard many mystical stories.  During their travel, Bheema had an encounter with a huge monkey. He tried to frighten the monkey by shouting but instead, the monkey warned Bheema not to go any further since it was the path of the gods. Angry Bheema demanded the monkey to move out of his way. Bheema thought to pull the monkey out of the way by pulling its tail but to his amazement, he could not move it even an inch. He tried his best, exerted himself, put all his strength, strained every muscle, but still could not move the monkey.  It was then that the monkey revealed its true identity. The huge monkey was none other than the great Hanuman- Son of the wind god. He gave his parting blessing to his brother that he would be present on the flag of the chariot of Arjuna. He blessed Bheema and assured him that they would be victorious in the forthcoming battle.

As the story progressed, all of the sages wished to accompany them as the Pandavas left the kingdom. But Yudhishthira was concerned how we will be able to feed everyone since he had lost all his wealth. One of the sages approached him and urged him to pray to Lord Surya, the Sun God, while he was profoundly frightened and disturbed. Yudhishthira did that with all his devotion and sincerity. The Sun God, pleased with his prayers, bestowed upon him the Akshaya Patra which was a mystical bowl. This patra, according to Hindu mythology, was a magical jar that will provide an endless supply of food until Draupadi had eaten for the day. Then Pandavas came upon a demon named Kirmira, Bakasura's brother, on their way to the forest. Bhima defeated the Kirmira monster and rid the jungle of the evil spirit. In the wilderness, the Pandavas felt helpless, and even Draupadi felt led down. Draupadi is consoled by Lord Krishna, who assures her that it will pass as well. Many storytellers visited the Pandavas frequently during their exile and told them various stories. Once, the Pandavas were visited by Sage Markandeya who told them tale of Lord Rama, Lord Vishnu's seventh avatar. Yudhishthira's heart and mind calmed after hearing the story, and he was filled with bravery.  While Yudishthira was fascinated by the stories, Draupadi and Bhima never failed to feed Yudisthira's mind with vengeance against the Kauravas. But he kept his cool and told Draupadi and Bhim to wait for the appropriate moment because defeating the Kauravas in a fight without superpowers and divine weapons would be difficult. And it was Arjuna who was tasked by the Pandavas to collect these powers.   https://chimesradio.com  http://onelink.to/8uzr4g  https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradio See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

-8th chapter: verses 7, 8, 9-This lecture was given by Swami Tattwamayananda on April 23, 2021.-7th verse: “Constantly remember Me and fight. Then you shall attain Me.”-Fight here refers to the battle with our own lower self. Lord Krishna says that we should combine contemplation and action, and do our everyday secular duties with a higher ideal in mind. By doing so, we spiritualize the secular.-Lord Krishna chose Arjuna over Yudhishthira and other Pandavas because Arjuna was a man of action, who was eager to learn, and who would put into practice what he learnt.-Lord Krishna asks Arjuna to always think and contemplate on a higher ideal – all the time, in every thought, word and deed. By doing so, he would have peace of mind and be a source of harmony to those around him.-8th verse: “With constant practice and continued effort, one who thinks of the Supreme Being, attains Him.”-In spiritual life, we may encounter two types of problems. First – when we follow an ideal and do not succeed, we may get disappointed. Second – we may develop a liking for the negative, like a camel who enjoys eating thorny bushes despite bleeding in the process.-Continued effort is necessary. As we continue our effort, the resistance slowly disappears, and we are able to follow the higher ideal.-Shankaracharya says in his commentary that we should read spiritual books, understand the teachings of the great sages, contemplate on them, and bring this contemplation to every action in daily life.-Ramanuja says in his commentary that we should do our duty in a way that it does not violate ethical principles, and at the same time contemplate on a higher ideal.-Once a person succeeds in spiritualizing the secular, by combining action and contemplation, his character begins to reflect a sense of contentment. He is able to face difficulties of life with a smile.-9th verse: “The one who meditates on this Supreme Reality – who is omniscient (Kavi), ancient, the ruler, smaller than the atom, the sustainer, self-luminous and beyond the darkness of Maya.”-The word “kavi” is used to imply omniscient. A great poet is able to see far into things and bring out the grandeur of the subject he is writing on. This ability to see beyond the surface of things is an expression of the divine.-One great example is from the life of Valmiki, who was a sage and a poet. Once he was watching two birds playing on a tree. Suddenly, one of the birds fell after being short by a hunter’s arrow. At that moment, Valmiki’s heart was filled with the charm of the innocent bird, the cruelty of the hunter and the agony of the surviving bird. He uttered a profound verse: “O’ hunter – you will not get respect; you will not get existence. You also will perish. For you have killed this innocent, unsuspecting bird.”-We cannot play diplomacy with our own mind at the time of death. The dominant thought at the time of death is linked to what ideas dominated one’s life. If one practices spiritual disciplines during their life, then at the time of death, then can think of something higher, transcendental.-There are two ways of looking upon God. One is through the lens of the world – in this scenario, we won’t have peace of mind. Another way is to see the world through the eyes of God – then we see the world as a fleeting phenomenon belonging to time and subject to change; then we can practice equilibrium of mind, and the world won’t disturb us.

Mahabharata is one of India's most popular Hindu epics. The Kurukshetra war is depicted in this story as a historical battle between two groups of cousins and was probably the most horrific battle ever fought. Sage Vyasa is known for writing this epic. The Pandavas- Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadev, the five brothers, and the Kauravas are the main characters in the Mahabharata. It's almost like a family feud over land and property.  Pandu, the king of Hastinapur, chose to live in the forest with his two wives, Kunti and Madri, and his 5 sons. Therefore he gave up his throne to his brother Dhritrashtra, who was blind, and went to live in the forest.  In the kingdom of Hastinapur, Dhritrashtra's wife, Gandhari, gave birth to a hundred sons. Duryodhana was the eldest of them. Bhisma asked Dhronacharya to teach the skills of warfare to both Kauravas and Pandavas when Pandavas returned to Hastinapur after the death of Pandu and Madri.  Kauravas were very jealous of Pandavas and always plotted to harm them. After one such failed attempt, Pandavas went into exile and reached the Kingdom of Panchala. The king of Panchala had a beautiful daughter named Draupadi, and an archery competition was in works to choose the rightful husband for her. Arjuna, who was an unrivalled archer, entered the competition and won.  When they all came back to Hastinapur, Dhritarashtra gave the Pandavas a small piece of barren land, far away from Hastinapur. The Pandavas built a beautiful city there named Indraprastha on it. Soon again, Duryodhana along with his evil uncle Shakuni started plotting and invited Yudisthira to play a dice game with the Kauravas. Yudhishthira not only lost his kingdom and wealth in this game but also his brothers and wife.  After the game when Draupadi was humiliated in the open palace, Dhritrashtra out of fear and consequences returned everything to the Pandavas. But the game did not stop there. In the next round when the Pandavas lost again, they had to go on an exile for 12 years and had to spend another year in disguise.

7th chapter: verses 29, 30 Introduction to chapter 8-The lecture was given by Swami Tattwamayananda on April 2, 2021.-29th verse: “Those who strive to attain freedom from old age and death by taking refuge in Me, they know Brahman. That Brahman is all of adhyatma and karma in its entirety.”-Old age/death is a metaphor that represents the impermanence of the body and the world. Once we become aware of this impermanence, we can face life’s challenges more effectively.-Those who are lucky enough to get to higher philosophy understand that there is a quest for a higher meaning that provides freedom from clinging to things that are impermanent. They develop an urge to seek this higher freedom.-One can take refuge in a great spiritual teacher who reveals the supreme truth – such as Lord Krishna or Jesus Christ. One can also take refuge in the essence of the eternal teachings of these spiritual teachers. The Advaitic interpretation is to take refuge in Brahman.-This urge for spiritual freedom cannot be developed suddenly. It is developed gradually. We should start by developing an element of detachment from raga, dvesha, results of actions, and selfish motives. Selfish motives represent our desire for the impermanent.-Yaksha posed a question to Yudhishthira – “What is the most mysterious fact of life?” In answer, Yudhishthira said – “Every minute and second, we see so many creatures moving towards the abode of death. Still, we believe that we will not have to join this procession. This is the most mysterious fact of life.”-30th verse: “Those who know Me, they know the supreme truth in a comprehensive manner – Adhibhutam, Adhidaivam and Adhiyajnam. They continue to know Me even at the time of death.”-Adhibhutam represents the gross, material elements that constitute the empirical world. Adhidaivam represents the presiding deities of the senses of perception, senses of action, mind and intellect, that enable us to perceive the phenomenal world. Adhiyajnam represents the presiding deities over rituals and sacrifices.-Verses 1-4 of 8th chapter explain that one who is spiritually fit for higher pursuit, naturally develops the ability to understand everything in a comprehensive manner.-When we get into spiritual life, we develop an intuition into the nature of things. We develop a spiritual common sense that gives us maturity, wisdom and a better outlook towards life.-Ashtanga Yoga prescribed in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra – Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi – only takes us to a stage, where we become fit for enlightenment. It does not take us to the highest state of enlightenment.-Vedanta prescribes a more comprehensive plan that takes one to the highest enlightenment. The plan involves seven disciplines. (1) Discrimination between unreal and the Real (2) Renunciation of what is unreal (3) Self-control: shama, dama, uparati, titiksha, shraddha and samadhana (4) Mumukshutam (5) Shravanam (6) Mananam (7) Nidishyasana.-If one has Mumukshutam, the strong urge for spiritual freedom, all the other qualities naturally come to him.-Swami Vivekananda said that every living creature has an innate desire for freedom and self-preservation. The difference between an amoeba and a Buddha is only of degrees, not of kind. Every ordinary pursuit of life preservation is part of our attempt to get freedom from old age and death.-Swami Vivekananda also gives the example of a locomotive and an ant. The locomotive is not more powerful than the ant, as it only has borrowed intelligence. The ant has the ability to decide its fate and look for freedom.

Svargarohana Parva (Sanskrit: स्वर्गारोहण पर्व) or the Book of the Ascent to Heaven, is the last of eighteen books of the Indian Epic Mahabharata. It is one of the shortest books in the Mahabharata. Svargarohana Parva describes the arrival of Yudhishthira in heaven, his visit to hell and what he finds in both places. This heartwarming story acknowledges the love and loyalty of a dog.

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. Viveka means the ability to understand what is real and worthwhile. The first kind of Duhkha, suffering, described in the fifteenth sutra is Parinama Duhkha. It is the understanding that happy and unhappy experiences are changeable. Yudhishthira says in the Mahabharata that the greatest wonder is that every day we see people dying, but we think we will be immortal. This Duhkha is possible only for Yogis and people with spiritual insight. Tapa Duhkha is suffering due to not getting what we want. Buddha’s example of his concern for the welfare of all human beings is given for Parinama Duhkha. It is helpful in spiritual life. Samskara Duhkha comes from actions that create grief prompted from Vasanas from remaining in the Karmashaya. Vyasa says a Yogi develops a sensitive eye and is able to see future suffering before it happens. This is the Heya, the problem to be eradicated. Verses: II.15, II.16

Pls find enclosed the synopsis. It has been divided into 3 parts - The Story - The concept  - The points to ponder ( Lets revisit the story in light of the concepts)  Shrimad Bhagavata Mahapurana Synopsis of the Sixth Session Bhagavata Pratham Skanda (Book One) Chapter 9 and 15 ————————————— A Grand Era comes to an end.. Story: Shri Krishna takes Yudhishthira to Bhisma, to seek enlightenment and uplift his impending gloom. The sages from the 14 Lokas decent to listen to the knowledge that Bhisma was going to impart. With affection, he mentions that the pandavas had suffered injustice, and attributes all to the ‘Time Spirit' and the will of providence. Later, when the time for his soul to depart from he body comes, he fixes his attention on the form of Krishna, which had lifted the Wheel and rushed towards Bhisma to attack him. Knowing him to be the Divine one, he drops his body. Yudhisthira's infatuation was driven away, but the light of wisdom shed by Bhisma. With the permission of Krishna and Dhrtarastra, Yudhisthira ruled over the kingdom with righteousness. Mother earth was freed of her burden and hence, the nature responded favourably. Living being had no worries of physical aliments or affliction of any kind. People of Hastinapura, through their eyes, itched him in the depth of their hearts. Restoring Dharma and Bliss, amidst the songs of glory for him and the blessed ‘Dwaraka waasis', Krishna departed for Dwarka. He journeyed though various cities, and people basked in the bliss of his sight. When he reached the outskirts of Dwaraka, he blew his Panchjanya Counch, to signal his return. Everyone left what there were doing and rushed to greet him, and he in turn greeted all of them as they so desired. His family, his 16000 odd wives, and children were overwhelmed to see him. Everyone had krishna to themselves.  Yudhisthira performed a lot of Yagnas, his kingdom covered almost the entire earth and his glory reached even the heavens.Then came the joyous time of the birth of the only descendent of the Pandavas. At the most auspicious hour, Pariksit was born. At the right moment, enormous ‘Dana' was made to everyone. The Brahmanas predicted his future, and his virtues. Yudhisthira performed 3 more Yagnas, to which Krishna was also invited. After spending some time with the Pandavas, he, along with Arjun returned to Dwaraka. After completing his piligrimage, Vidhura, pandava's uncle, returned to Hastinapura. Everyone was over joyed to see him, and he was satisfied to see the blossoming of their kingdom. When the time was right he guided Dhrtarastra toward his ultimate goal in life, ‘Prabhu Prapti' and Gandhari followed. One day, all three silently left the kingdom, and journeyed towards the north. Narada, consoled the lamenting Yudhisthira. Dhrtarastra left his body, Gandhari followed and Vidhura with a mixed feeling of Joy and Grief, went again on pilgrimages of sacred places. King Yudhisthira grew apprehensive at the sight of even omens and worried why Arjun had not returned, as it had been several months. While he was sharing his anxiety with the other brothers, Arjun returned, broken and beaten. He looked as if someone had robed his soul of all the lustre. On being, questioned, he finally responded and conveyed that, Krishna dropped the Yadava body and the yadava race has been exterminated. He felt as if Krishna has robbed him of all his velour. But, later, realised that it was never him, but the Lord who was acting threw him. Kunti, dropped her mortal body and merged with her Lord Shri Krisna.  That very moment the age of Kali set in. Yudhisthira crowned Pariksit at Hastinapura and Vajra at Mathura. He, his brothers and Draupadi were completely set at rest, and resolved to ascend to the heavens. They all descended to abode of Krishna. Vidhura also fixed his mind on Krishna and casted of his body. Thus, came to an end the glorious age...

Shrimad Bhagavata Mahapurana Synopsis of the Second Session Bhagavat Mahatmay  Shri Guru Charan saroj raja, neej manu mukur sudari. Baranau raghubar bimal jasu, jo dayaku fal chari. Hanumanji, with the dust of your feet, we cleanse our heart, our very being. To make us fit to recite and hear the glories of Shri Hari. His Glories give us the eternal fruits. The fruit of Satya, Tapas, Dana and Sochya. If one hold on to even one of the four, the other three will follow and the the doors of Vaikuth are bound to open. Dear Lord, this finite perishable being, is going to attempt to sing glories of you, The Infinite. You ,whom some define as not this, not this and some as, this also, this also. Whose end nobody has been able to reach.  May your grace flow.  - May our attention be like Arjun who aimed for the eye of the birds. - May our learning be like Yudhishthira, who refused to utter a simple shloka without internalising and implement it.  - May we be like the Sun, discipled in our Sadhna  - May we be like Shiva, ever awake and alert in midst of darkness of Vices. - May we build our material world, on the spiritual base, which simply put says, “All Good = God”. - May we dwell in ‘Pratiksa'. Have the patience to wait as long as it takes, till the truth is revealed.  - May we have the urge to be with you all the time. Till we start seeing you in everything and every action becomes an act of devotion. ————————————————— “Bhagwata is my Bow, I am the Arrow and I aim to reach you My Lord” We can sum up the Bhagwata or any other granth, in two lines; “Parahit kar baan prabhu ka aabhari. Parapida/paraninda saam paap nahin bhari” To reach this state in thought word and deed, simply put is the Mahatmaye of Bhagwata. ————————————————— Bhawatam was narrated for the first time to dispel Gloom, and re-narrated to establish the Listner in ‘Chid Ananad' - “Never Ending Bliss”. - The Infinite power narrated it to Brahma (4 Shloka) - Narada Muni to Veda Vyasa (4 Shlokas) - Shivji to Paravati and Sukhdevji - Veda Vyasa to Sukhdev Muni (18000 shlokas) From 4 Shloka, ‘The Chatusloki Bhagwata', Veda Vyasa went on to expand it to 12 Books, 332 Chapter and 18000 Shlokas (verses). It takes at least 30 hours to read the Sanskrit Verses. If it can dispel the vacuum of Brahma and Veda Vyasa, we can be freed of our impending vacuum as well. Are we not always in a state of flux, moving from momentary joys to sorrow. “Saab kuch hai mere paas,  najane kya hai khoya. Khusiyo ki nikli barat, aur mera dil roya. Najane kesi jang Laad rahe hai hum,  No koi gaam hai na udhasi, Phir bhi tadap rahe hai hum. Kesi hai yeh ulzan,  kyo yeh saab sikh rahe hai hum. Khud na samaj paaye, auro ko samjane chale hai aapna gaam.” This epidemic which has struck the old and the young alike in the form of ‘Depression' can be eradicated by ‘Shrimad Bhagwata Mahapurana”. It can lead us; - From the momentary 'Sukh' to eternal ‘Bliss' - From the external seek, to the internal find - From the incomplete self, to the complete in self  - From the finite and perishable, to the infinite and eternal ————————————————— Lets get to know our Author, Narrator and Seeker (Detailed story narrated in the session) Author -Veda Vyasa  He is the son of Parasharji(a renowned astrologer) and Satyavati. Born under planetary conditions, fit for the birth of the 29th Veda Vyasa. ‘Ved Vyasa is a title which is given to new Vyasa in every Chaturyuga, in this Chaturyuga it is Given to the great Krishna Dwaipayana son of Bramharishi Parashara.' Pls Note: It is so beautiful to know that our Veda also evolve to fit the need of the time.  Krishna Dwaipayana Veda Vyasa compiled the Vedas in order to simplify their study, the meaning of the word Vyasa here is Arranger or compiler. So Veda Vyasa Translates to 'The Compiler of Vedas.' He - Compiled the Vedas  - Wrote the Brahma Sutra -
