Mandukya Upanishad Book With Karika

Mandukyopanishad as well as Mundakopanishad and prasnopanishad belong to Atharvana Veda. Mandukyopanishad is a short Upanishad consisting only of twelve mantras, but it is something unique. If the vision of the Upanishads is presented in a separate book of verse, it is called a "Karika". This Mandukya Karika is written by Gaudapadacarya, the grand guru of Sankaracarya. Gaudapadacarya's karika is an independent work of 215 verse on Mandukyopanishad. It is not a commentary, but is still dealing with the subject matter and is expanded to 215 verse. Sankaracarya extended his commentary on the Mandukyopanishad to include the Karika as well. It is said if one understands Mandukyopanishad, moksa is for sure.

The Essential Guide: Bhagavad Gita vs. Srimad Bhagavatam

Image
  Bhagavad Gita vs. Srimad Bhagavatam The rich tapestry of Hinduism boasts many sacred texts and two that often cause confusion are the  Bhagavad Gita  and the Srimad Bhagavatam. While both hold immense importance and explore themes of devotion and spirituality, they are distinct works. Let's unravel the key differences: 1. Form and Origin: Bhagavad Gita:  A concise dialogue of 700 verses, nestled within the epic Mahabharata. It's a conversation between the warrior prince Arjuna and his charioteer, Lord Krishna, who reveals profound wisdom on dharma (righteous duty), karma (action), and attaining liberation. Srimad Bhagavatam:  A vast Purana, a category of ancient scriptures known for their stories and legends. The Bhagavatam, also called the Bhagavata Purana, is much longer, with 12 skandhas containing around 18,000 verses. It chronicles the pastimes of Lord Vishnu and his avatars, with a significant focus on Krishna. 2. Narrative Focus: Bhagavad Gita:  Fo...

The Buddha's Teaching Style: Adaptable, Analytical, and Practical

Image
The Buddha tailored his teachings to his audience, using questions and real-life situations to guide them towards his perspective. He reinterpreted existing concepts, like calling a worthy person a "true Brahmin" instead of one based on caste. Careful and Critical Approach: The Buddha addressed questions directly, analyzed them for clarity, or challenged them to expose hidden biases. He encouraged independent thinking and examining teachings through personal experience. He wasn't afraid of disagreement but disliked misinterpretations of his message. Self-Reliance and Open-Mindedness: The Buddha emphasized personal testing of all teachings, including his own. He advised against blind faith or tradition, promoting exploration and critical analysis. The story of the Kalamas people exemplifies his encouragement to evaluate teachings based on their results. Practical Use and Letting Go: The Buddha's teachings were meant to be applied, not just memorized. He compared the Dh...

A Look at Lord Ganesha's Description in the Litanies of His Thousand Names

Image
Lord Ganesha, the beloved elephant-headed deity, is revered across India and beyond. His unique form is an embodiment of power, wisdom, and auspiciousness. But have you ever wondered about the deeper meaning behind his physical attributes? The Litanies of His Thousand Names, a sacred Hindu text, offers a glimpse into the symbolism behind Lord Ganesha's divine body. Ganeša,  the elephant-faced god,  with a single tusk,  a curved trunk,  a prominent belly,  drooping ears,  and a third eye,  is the Lord of the Ganas,  and entertains them despite being their chief.  Smoke-coloured (Dhümravarna),  he is the Awakened Spirit.  This remover of obstacles (Vighnanayaka),  this king of obstacles (Vighnaraja) is also called the happiness of the gods (Surananda).  These qualities are beautifully captured in  Ganesha statues ,  making them a popular choice for devotees seeking his blessings. He has two forms, two arms, two eye...
