Quote from
the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
Vedanta
in daily life
The teaching of Vedanta drive away the fear of death, because they say that death, because they say that death cannot attack our souls. The teachings of Vedanta say that we are immortal by our birthright, we are children of that universal Spirit and therefore, we are beyond death. Fear of death will never trouble the mind of a student of Vedanta . “As we throw away our old worn-out garment, so the soul throws away the garment of the old body at the time of death and manufactures a new one, according to its thoughts and deeds. What a great consolation is this that we are no longer dependent upon the freak of an anthropomorphic God and we have not been created out of nothing by the sudden whim of a Creator, but our souls existed in the past and shall exist after death, our own actions, and we are responsible for our future happiness and misery . We are not going to eternal perdition, nor are we born in sin and iniquity. Thus the teachings of Vedanta take away all fear of death and make us happy and centered in our earthly career. What can be moiré beneficial to us in practical life.
Celebration
of colours

Speaking Tree, Spirituality, ET

After a stark winter, the intoxicating spicy scents of ‘tesu’, the flower of the Palash tree, announces the arrival of spring. Humans follow nature, celebrating the season’s beauty and abundance.
The
spring-time bounty is the foundation of Pushpayurveda, the lost science of
using flowers to treat disorders of the psyche. Ancient seers seamlessly merged
the salubrious with the spiritual, and from time immemorial, youngand old smear
one another with colourful powders and soak each other in sweet-smelling flower
water, transforming applying colours and throwing flowers into dynamic
meditation, lifting the psychological tenor of the individual and catapulting
it to sublime bliss of the universal.
It is said that in the Sat Yug, Prahlad, son of demon king and self-proclaimed god, Hiranyakashyapu, was given capital punishment for refusing to accept his father’s godhood. The boy stayed true to his belief in God and emerged unscathed from the fire that was meant to set him ablaze. Instead, it burnt his invincible demon aunt Holika, marking the triumph of good over evil.
In
Dwapar Yug, gopis expressed their affection and devotion through their
springtime Raas Lila with Krishn. Their husbands, the gopas, expressed their
jealousy by staging a symbolic fight with their wives, encouraging us to
embrace all emotions.
Through
Holi, we understand the need to discard negativity by using the white, hot heat
of ‘will’ and the positive aspects of the ever-changing emotions.
IF HE
EXIST

joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and
evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed
at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on
something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well,
if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He
exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten
minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy
that I derive 4m.-
