Vedanta and Philosophy

12:00 PM

then you should also not say world is unreal before realizing it.

@Tezz Yes i read somewhere similar statement , After millions of years , a jiva becames vishnu or para vasudeva , cant remember exactly though

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi That's the concept.

Rakesh Joshi

but you keep saying this every day and night. so first you should stop saying it na

The Destroyer

Truth is world is unreal. No one in Maya knows Truth correctly. Then why mocking Advaitins, as if you know truth? A realized person speaks as less as possible as he knows about behaviour of persons in maya. Even truth can't be explained by words. See how Daskhinamurthy taught his disciples.

Rakesh Joshi

as per sankara no external rituals or pooja can give jnanam ...

only sadhana chatushthaya makes one a jnani

he just did panchayatan pooja to show people to include all gods.. those who are not behind self enlgithenment

then shankara mustbe unrealized as he KEPT ON TALKING AND CRITICITING AND COMMENTING AND ARGUING ABOUT GOD throughout his life

so its not true that realized person talks less.

it depends if the person is introvert or extrovert

SwiftPushkar

12:04 PM

@RakeshJoshi Yes he believed one can get Moksha through Gyna ...

Rakesh Joshi

he believed that external rituals r not useful for jnana . that is why he denounced all karamass .. even madatory vedic karmas
and some people here who claim to follow advaita are deep rooted in abhisheka and poojas :)

when he cut off his sacred thread and shikha .. he clarly states that vedic or any religious karmas or rituals are not useful for a mumukshu.

it is for only materialistic seekers,

Tezz

@RakeshJoshi it is not necessary that follower of Advaita should do what Shankara did... Shankara is not inventor of Advaita...

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi Ok. You are stubborn. You want others to accept your words. Please read Advaita again to understand it. Unrealized persons only know the concept. You can't live without eating food though world is not real. Because knowing concept doesn't make you realized. Realization doesn't come instantly. In any path, you will become enlightened slowly.

Tezz

@RakeshJoshi even when I didn't knew about Shankara... and after reading Upanishads... my view was very close to Advaita....

Rakesh Joshi

i m talking of religious rituals . please do not divert the words.
i will quote sadhana chatushthaya and commentaries of sankaras

@Tezz then tell me how can a mumukshu attain enligthenenemnt with rituals ? which advaita supports your view ?

when i say from vedas then also you have problem. when i repeatsankaras words then also you hgave issues.

Tezz

12:10 PM

@RakeshJoshi well... rituals which lead to BrahmaLoka will finally lead to Jnanam.. as Jnana is entitled in BrahmaLoka... and Jnana leads moksha...

Rakesh Joshi

you are in vijayavada . you can come to chennai we will go kanchi and you can confirm my words with sankaras there. about mumukshi\

@Tezz advaitin only focuses on moksha.. for attaininglokas there is lot of karmakanda but advaitins support only jnana kanda. i.e so called vedanta

Tezz

@RakeshJoshi Vedanta isn't Advaita only it's Vishistitadvaita, Dvaita, Bhedabheda etc.. too

Rakesh Joshi

i talk with certainity because i have evolved in spiritualiuty with my upasana.a from beginner , ritualist to a state of beyond rituals and formalities and internal journey.

its long journey .. i did spend a long time in this journey. i cant say about yours how long you have been into upasana .

SwiftPushkar

Actually Vishav puranas are more popular among general population like Shreemad Bhgvatam , its has got millions of Hard copies printed so it appears that , Gods ran to vishnu all the time , But other puranas Hard copies are not much in print , so people know much less abt. stories from that. Also Satvik , Tamasik purana concept is there (in which I do not believe)

Tezz

@RakeshJoshi Adi Shankara believes that Karma kanda and Jnana Kanda are seperated in the Vedas itself... he gives certain arguments like this:

2

Q: Were the mantras of the Isha Upanishad ever used in Yagnas?

As I discuss in this answer, each of the four Vedas consists of four portions: Samhitas, the core part of the Vedas which consist of mantras heard from the gods; Brahmanas, commentaries on the Samhitas which provide instructions on the proper conducting of important Vedic Yagnas; Aranyakas, which...

Rakesh Joshi

12:14 PM

thanks that you finally refused something of puranas @SwiftPushkar there is no need to run to anyone . vedic gods are powerful.

@Tezz so please make sure which advaita you are following and for what purpose?

if you are following advaita vedanta then you should follow what sankara preached or accept that his preachings were not fully correct.

for mumukshu he discards all rituals .

Tezz

@RakeshJoshi No, it isn't necessary that I should exactly follow/believe what Shankara believed... I can have my own belief/theories etc...

SwiftPushkar

But Every purana has its own different taste and flavor , its we who fail to observe the actual message of puranas , Puranas are Glories of Ishwara , Bhagvan ....Supreme Brahman only ...But For written for mass public understanding

Rakesh Joshi

if moksha is your goal then going to temples and doing big poojas wil not do any good to you. its doing only good to the priest and shop owners.

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi Also, consider Historic situations during time of Shankara.

Rakesh Joshi

@Tezz then accept that you dont find all the teaching of sankara correct hence you disagree with him in certain areas. because till yesterday you were talking like ardent advaitin .

The Destroyer

12:18 PM

@RakeshJoshi This is very bad idea. First you shouldn't have any financial problems or health problem to get Moksha. You can go to temples, for Dharmica Problems.

Tezz

@RakeshJoshi Hmm.. I'm an Advaitin still... but this doesn't mean that I follow/believe exactly what Shankara did...

SwiftPushkar

@RakeshJoshi Unless we develope Shradha , we wont gona get moksha , without faith its not possible , its step by step procedure , cant get Phd. in kintergartan. So IMO Temples and pooja is away to develope Faith in Ishwara.

Rakesh Joshi

so you mean all vedantins first worried about finance before going to vedanta ?

@SwiftPushkar that is what i m saying sadhana chatusthaya is prescribed for mumukshu and it has shraddha as its main part

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi why did you bring all Vedantins into picture? You analyze words without context which is very dangerous. Are you initiated into Vedas?

Rakesh Joshi

@TheDestroyer keeping history in mind first of all i would never bother visiting any ritualist at all ...

poor kumarila was on his death bed yet sankara did not spare him and wanted to have arguent with hi,m... then he directed him to his pupil mandana

what is need to defeat a ritualist? let him follow rituals if he wants swarga

Q: What were the exact reasons of birth of all the Shivansh?

After going through stories of Shivansh, following things happened to be common- All were against Lord Shiva. All were against Devas despite of the fact they were born out of MahAdeva. All resulted into the great chaos. All had Asuri Pravritti or supported Asuras? So, is there any subtle r...

shiva shiva-purana shiva-lingam

waht is this question :) ??

Rakesh Joshi

if i wwere in his place i would go on to argyue with jinas and buddhists like how ramanuja and sri madhwa did

Tezz

@RakeshJoshi I think Kumarila did that due to Buddhists...

Rakesh Joshi

yes like that shankara should had done .. instead of defeating fellow hindus .

SwiftPushkar

Hey all Time for me to take leave ... Bye ...

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi Yeah. IF 12th class student follows a girl and rebukes his parents. Poor kid, we shouldn't say him to study first. if we didn't say, his life would be spoiled or he would face difficulties later.

Rakesh Joshi

12:25 PM

@TheDestroyer you talk as if you have learned puranas in gurukula . then you talk as if you have learned vedanta from authorized acharyas. yet you ask others for their credibility .

yes with upanayan i was initiated into vedas . i did brahma upasana (gayatri) for some time then i was initiated into shakti/ yoga sadhana

Tezz

That was because Hinduism had become extremely ritualistic during Shankaras period...

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi too much of anything is good for nothing.

Rakesh Joshi

@Tezz let them become ritualistic .. 60-70% vedas talk of rituals right ? then let them select. how is ritualism harmful ??

with pujyasri gurus and gods grace i have progressed well in spirituality and soon i will be close to enligthenment

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi My understanding is better than someone, who cherrypicks verses and condemn certain puranas as Tamasic. I see Bhakti or take good content and understand morals behind stories in all Puranas. I feel this undestanding is good.

Rakesh Joshi

i only condemn those verses then i will have to pick them only na

why should i talk against verses which glofiry gods

after all scriptres are written for singing glory of gods only

The Destroyer

12:31 PM

@RakeshJoshi I'm not saying about you.

Rakesh Joshi

cherry picking is not bad ...

we should condemn only which speaks wrong .. not everything

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi You feel Puranas demean Vedic Gods because you didn't read Puranas. In reality, they don't do it.

Rakesh Joshi

osama bin laden was bad person ... but i have to condemen only what he speaks wring ...

if he says sun rises from the east then i cant refute him

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi Cherrypicking without context is dangerous.

Rakesh Joshi

that is again your asseumtptuins ... if i had not read then how will i know that verses and stories which speak bad

The Destroyer

12:33 PM

@RakeshJoshi You read only few selected stories. Which puranas you read?

Rakesh Joshi

according to me there is no need to do controversial stories about a deity to show anything good

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi You are thinking they are controversial. But they are not. Read them under as Guru.

Rakesh Joshi

first you do then preach others.

for talking of srimad bhagwat i dont need to read all the thousads of verses thorougghty

if so many people are quoting vedas here have they read whole samhitas of rigveda and other sections ?

there are no such rules

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi My understanding is close to understanding of Acharyas on Puranas. I don't need to go Guru Now.

Rakesh Joshi

this is self made assessement anyways

The Destroyer

12:37 PM

@RakeshJoshi I listen to pravachanam of Chaganti Koteswara Rao, Samavedam Shanmukha Sharma too and note their teachings too.

Rakesh Joshi

they are not acharyas but upanyasakara

acharyas means jayendra saraswati , pedda jeeyar .

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi whatever you think. Puranas don't demean Vedic Gods as you understood.

Rakesh Joshi

who teach upasana

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi No. Read about them.

Chaganti Koteswara Rao

Sri Chaganti Koteswara Rao is an Indian scholar known for his discourses in Sanatana Dharma. A reader of spiritual pravachanams on various puranams and epics like Srimad Ramayanam, Srimad Bhagavatam, Soundaryalahari, Lalita sahasranama stotram etc., his discourses are widely followed and are telecast over television channels such as Bhakti TV and TTD and is quite popular among the Telugu speaking people all over the world. Brahmasri Chaganti Koteswara Rao an eminent preacher, born to Chaganti Sundara Siva Rao, and Suseelamma. He married Subrahmanyeswari and blessed with two children Shanmukhacharan...

Rakesh Joshi

ok indra did very good by running away from demons . did good to women . is that you people want ?

The Destroyer

12:39 PM

Samavedam Shanmukha Sarma

Brahmasri Samavedam Shanmukha Sarma (born 26 June 1967) is a popular person on television in India, and well appreciated for his commentary/discourses on Rudra Namakam, Vishnu Sahasranamam, Sivanandalahari, Soundarya Lahari, Lalitha Sahasranamam, Siva Tatvam, Ganapathi Tatwam, Sri Krishna Tatwam, Ramayanam, Bhagavatam, the Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharatham, Dakshinamurti Tattvam, Sutha Samhitha, Aditya Hrdayam and the kritis of different Vaggeyakaras. == Early life == Sri Samavedam shanmukha Sarma was born to Sri Samavedam Rama Murthy Sarma and Smt.

@RakeshJoshi Mylavarapu srinivasa rao says it's testing.

I showed my question too.

Rakesh Joshi

in this link it does not say he is any acharya or anything . he is just an orator on scriptures. what is his official lineage?

you beleive these two are enlightened souls ?

The Destroyer

Online sites don't give much info about them. You can ask about them to any of your Gurus. They may say you.

@RakeshJoshi I don't want to judge any of them. I am not qualified to do that. Even you can't do that.

Rakesh Joshi

but you are expert in giving certificates to people on internet :)

guru should be highly evolved soul . not just scholar else it wont be much use

chaganti rao comes to chennai often . many chettiars here

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi Online people are not scholars. How can you say a person is evolved soul?

Rakesh Joshi

that you have to judge before making someone your guru . not me .

there are qualities of guru and sishya of which many should match

The Destroyer

12:45 PM

@RakeshJoshi Realized soul knows the truth. he shouldn't support any philosphy. Vedanta or Yoga or Advaita or something.

Rakesh Joshi

you have to decide yourself .. it can be right or wrong

so sankara not realized he supported philosophy ? raghavendra supported dwaita etc

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi Realized souls know truth.

Rakesh Joshi

yes

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi No one knows complete truth. Shankara knew part of it and Ramanuja knew part of it... and so others.

Rakesh Joshi

so this means enlightenment is partial or complete etc ?

The Destroyer

12:49 PM

@RakeshJoshi For followers, their Guru has complete enlightenement. There should be no differences in philosophies among enlightened souls.

Rakesh Joshi

these upanyasakara are doing it for profession . . for their living

not for sake of spirituality

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi Don't assume anything. Chaganti never takes a single rupee from anyone.

Rakesh Joshi

what about another ?

The Destroyer

@RakeshJoshi I don't much about him. @SreeCharan may know.

Rakesh Joshi

not every one who freebies is great.. analyze his guru parampara . his credibility .

if at all he allows commoners to meet :)

if you are satisfied then you can learn upasana from him

The Destroyer

12:53 PM

@RakeshJoshi Don't comment on anyone if you have no idea about a person. Don't generalize all pravachana scholars live for money. This stereotyping is very dangerous.

Rakesh Joshi

nothing dangerous

its only dangerous because you have high regatrds for him

there is hell lot of difference between orator and sadguru .

Sree Charan

2:15 PM

@RakeshJoshi Not only boys are named after Sai. These days girls are also named after Sai. Sai X

Rakesh Joshi

Sree Charan

20 hours ago, by Rakesh Joshi

what is your qualification ?

I don't know who/what you meant. But some may get hurt. We don't know other's spiritual level.

2 days ago, by Rakesh Joshi

did they check your gunas? just by being born in some family you got the thread. what is your contribution then ?

Rakesh Joshi

but when they ask what is my level of spiritual learning why not anyone raise question?

when they make comments that i dont understand shastra then also you were silent ?

Sree Charan

2:21 PM

We do not know about gunas of other people and we can't judge just by conversation of 1 hour.

Rakesh Joshi

it was a statement that who is checking gunas before giving sacred threat to people ? they are just giving on birth

Sree Charan

If you meant in a positive way, it is okay.

The second message was directed to me. you said People like me stop non-brahmins learn vedas. I don't have intention about keeping people from Vedas and sanskrit. In fact I tell about stotras, verses about God to my friends.

Rakesh Joshi

because you said you believe that its stated in brahma sutras.

and you uphold birth based varna

Sree Charan

It was Keshav Srinivasan.

Rakesh Joshi

but there was something which was said on caste hence i said so

Sree Charan

2:28 PM

I said I follow birth based Varna and do not totally reject Guna based varna.

Rakesh Joshi

then partially reject?

Sree Charan

You can check my messages.

Rakesh Joshi

if you dont like then i will avoid interaction with you.

Sree Charan

Why?

Rakesh Joshi

cos i dont feel that i have said anything wrong or harmful to anyone

Sree Charan

2:30 PM

One who are able to be a sattva and are eligible to learn Vedas and scriptures should not be rejected. That is what I said.

No need to stop talking.

Rakesh Joshi

then who will decide gunas ?

the very fact that he is inerested in vedas is his brahma jijnasa

Sree Charan

But when we comment on anyone who is regarded by others some may feel bad.

Rakesh Joshi

in that sense i said that you and me and all are given thread on basis of birth only no one sees the gunas

regarded by others ?

Sree Charan

For example, the two who The Destroyer quoted. They are learned men. They have knowledge of scriptures. They do not claim themselves as acharya to anyone. They preach about puranas and other aspects out of their interests. their followers call them as Guru. We cannot decide their spirituality level.

I agree with you that there is a difference between acharya and upanyasaka.

@RakeshJoshi I would not remain silent.

Rakesh Joshi

then you can go and ask in mutt also . that what are fundamentals qualities of guru

what is the lineage of chaganti rao and shanmuga sharma?

every scholars or learned person might not be a guru .

Sree Charan

2:37 PM

They are not sanyasis. they are grihastus.

I too have a guru and took initiation into Pancharatra.

@RakeshJoshi Yes.

Rakesh Joshi

what has marital status to do with guru

Sree Charan

I didn't mean that only sannyasis can be gurus. They follow advaita and revere Sankaracharya.

But many gurus are sanyasis. Like you said Jayendra saraswati, Pedda jeeyar swami etc.,

Rakesh Joshi

if you want to go in vedanta then you have to follow them

since i dont believe in vedanta nor sanyasa. hence i do not subscribe to vedanta or sanyasa .

Sree Charan

them means?

@TheDestroyer When I read about it in some website, it said in Rayalaseema they say this story. I thought you may know it.

@The Devuni Kadapa?

SwiftPushkar

@Pandya - Dharbha is different grass , i thinks it's a dried one which is mainly used during Shradha ceremony.

The Destroyer

@SreeCharan maybe. Not sure

Sree Charan

@TheDestroyer Even if it's true, by marriage they meant thru bhakti. But that story is used more to support inter caste marriage. In Sri Ramadasu movie also, ANR says this.

The Destroyer

Keshav Srinivasan

@SreeCharan No, the Stackexchange system doesn't preserve the reputation number of a deleted user. But I have a list of his posts along with their vote scores, so in principle I could reconstruct his reputation.

@Pandya This seems promising, but for some reason I'm not able to get the translations and commentaries to actually show up. I click the check mark next to the commentary I want to see and then click the display selected translations button, but nothing happens. It only shows the Sanskrit verse.

Still, even though he quit the site, I still email him when I post a new Sri Vaishnavism question to see if he has any information.

Keshav Srinivasan

6:00 PM

@SwiftPushkar He left the site because of disputes with the user Parthasarathy Raghavan.

Sree Charan

But there is no answer to that question too. @TheDestroyer [In reply to comment]. New guy added an image too.

Keshav Srinivasan

@SwiftPushkar I discussed the reason earlier in chat:

Sep 25 '16 at 17:46, by Keshav Srinivasan

@Tezz @TheDestroyer Krishna criticized some of Parthasarathy Raghavan's questions about Balarama and the like, and Parthasarathy Raghavan didn't like that and argued with him. Krishna was worried that if he continued arguing with Parthasarathy Raghavan he would be committing Bhagavata Apacharam (offending a fellow Vaishnava). So he decided to quit the site.

PT not much substance it seems in his answers .

Sri Ramakrishna
[Photo taken at the studio of Bengal Photographers on 10 December 1881]
Ramakrishna to Keshab (with a smile):
"Today I enjoyed very much the machine by which a man's picture is taken. One thing I noticed was that the impression doesn't stay on a bare piece of glass, but it remains when the glass is stained with a black solution. In the same way, mere hearing of spiritual talk doesn't leave any impression. People forget it soon afterwards. But they can retain spiritual instruction if they are stained with earnestness and devotion."

Sri Aurobindo- God has not created this world, He has become this world, He is this world.
The Divine is infinite possibility. The Divine is an eternal Child playing an eternal game in an eternal garden. We have not to lose ourselves in God, but to find ourselves in God.
Hard is to be in the world, free, yet living the life of ordinary men; but because it is hard, therefore it must be attempted and accomplished.
