Nepal and Shivaratri

Happy Maha Shivaratri for the all of us. May Lord Shiva bestow us with all prosperity in life and may he lead us to salvation. Today is Maha Shivaratri and it is being celibrated by hindus all over the world and especially in India and Nepal. In Nepal there is a famous temple of Pashupatinath which is one of the most sacred temples for hindus, It is located at Gaushala, Kathmandu. Today at Mahashivarati, the devotees, sadhu, santa, aghori, tantriks, avadhoot etc from all over the world comes to Pashupatinath.They fast for the whole day and night and many of them can be seen taking intoxicant. The best thing about Maha Shivaratri in Kathmandu, Nepal is that people are free to take intoxicant like gaja, bhang, dhatura and  there is no disturbance from the police as they themselves celebrate it. It is the most sacred festival for Nepalese people. I personally myself have been there in big queues  three years in row to be inside the temple to see Pashupatinath. The queues are big and there are like more then 5 big queues and two different one for male and another for female.Even if u go inside the temple the view is only like 10 paces away. Pashupatinath has 4 faces and four doors. Usually the door at the west is often more opened. Inside Pashupatinath courtyard we have a temple of bhairav and it also has "chausati" which means there are heaps of shivalinga in puzzle format. The holy river Bagmati flows on the eastern side and there is cremation places where people burn the corpse. The view is almost like people cremated on the river of gangas. We Nepalese go there on every occasion and i have some buddhist friends who also goes to worship Pashupatinath. I have seen many many people with different ethnic background but still worshipping Pashupatinath. I can only conclude that Pashupatinath is the symbol of unity for all Nepalese people. Pashupatinath can reunite Nepal. Nepal is heading towards federalism based on ethnic background which may cause the country to split in pieces. I hope Lord Shiva in this auspicious occasion of Mahashivaratri give all the Nepalese people the sense of unity and may peace and prosperity prevail from his eternal blessings

Bhakti Yoga

sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja
aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah

              The above verse is from chapter 18, sloka 67 of Bhagawad Gita which literally means "Abandon all variety of religion and surrender unto me and i shall release you from your sins so do not grieve". The above sloka is in the chapter "The yoga of Renunciation" while as it carries the meaning of devotion. Krishna has put more emphasis on Bhakti Yoga then anyother yoga, why does he say so.In my interpretation devotion is all about surrender. The greatest devotion is surrender, surrender to the lord. Its hard to surrender because we have one small yet big factor named ego that is there. To surrender means to melt your ego by the flames of devotion. Devotion is the highest state of yoga because through jnana yoga u can only discriminate what is real and what is unreal, between brahma and maya. So when the realisation comes then devotion starts. Adi Shankaracharya has said that the highest devotion is the devotion to the truth, so the highest truth is BRAHMA,  so when one surrenders to almighty Brahma and then he eats sleeps, thinks, does everything for him then he goes one step further because devotion initself is a mediation and when  the mediation goes deep then a yogi reaches the state of Samadhi which means the meditator and the object of meditation becomes one. The soul is the Brahma so when u meditate upon brahma then u come to the realisation that ur soul is the brahma and brahma is never created nor destroyed but eternal and u will be eternal and u will be liberated from the world. So every great things in spiritualism starts from devotion. Devotion to the truth. So, lord Krishna says surrender unto me leaving the religion behind. Religion is only meant for purification of karma and to walk in the path of the truth but religion cant take u to the truth u need someone to surrender yourself. You need someone to guide you to the truth  and its only possible when u surrender yourself to the person who has experienced the truth and in simple term the guide person is called GURU. For Arjuna the guide was the lord himself who is also his guru because he in one of the chapters has mentioned that this knowledge was given to sun god by lord krishna and he gave the knowledge to Manu and thorugh disciple succession it continued but in some point it stopped so for the revival of the knowledge he is giving it to Arjuna. So, one of the best yoga mentioned in Bhagawad Geeta is Bhakti Yoga.

Karma yoga

zकर्मण्ये वाधिकारस्ते म फलेषु कदाचना
कर्मफलेह्तुर भुरमा ते संगोस्त्वकर्मानी॥

In English transliteration:
Karmanye vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachna
Karmaphalehtur bhurma te sangostvakarmani.


In English translation:
You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action। Never consider yourself to be the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.

I sought out to say some words on Karma Yoga of Bhagawad Geeta but something striked inside my head and that was the above shloka. I grew up listening this verse as it was the opening verse of then famous T.V serial Mahabharata. The reason i am posting this verse is because if its possible to boil down karma yoga in four line then it will be "Karmanye vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachna Karmaphalehtur bhurma te sangostvakarmani." which literally means you have a rights to perform your prescribed duties but u are not entitled to the fruits of the action. Never consider yourself to be the cause of the result of your work and never be attached to not doing your duty.

Everyone has some prescribed duties, u may be somebody's father, somebody's son, somebody's hubby etc. You have your duties to perform because we are always bounded by our duties for eg I being a father cant let my childnren and wife die in starvation because its my duty to give them protection and provide them with there basic needs, Prescribed duties is a broader term because it not only implies duties based on caste but as a whole of humanity. Without work the creaation cannot run, doing your duties is inevitable. Fighting for justice with kauravas was also one of the duties of pandavas being a kshatriya, kshatriya prescibed duties is to fight against injustice and for protection of dharma but Arjuna on the battle field of Kurukshetra decided not to shower arrows to his brothers, uncle and grandshire because he got entangled in the web of attachment to his relatives and not killing them in which the Lord replies that in this world nobody can kill anybody because we all are souls and soul is eternal. So even if Arjuna shoots arrow he is going to take lives of the body not kill them. So, the lord told him to lift Gandhiv and fight because he was not klling anybody in these process and on top of that its Arjuna prescribed duties to fight for the right cause. The line "but u are not entitled to the fruit" means that when one does his prescribed duties, he  must do in  a sense or in the mindframe that its a duty and the duty has to be done watsoever, duties has to be done even if it leads to profit or loss, happiness or sorrow, so if u do something in the mindframe that it has to be done whether favourable or not then it reduces your attachment to the very work u are doing which is called Deattachment. If u do your work not caring about the result then there will be no attachment left and any kind of unfullfilled desires.

"Karmaphalehtur bhurma te sangostvakarmani."means "Never consider yourself to be the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.", well every series of work that u do leads to another and that leads to another and that leads to another, so the results of the work that u do is never ending because the fruit itself is like a cobweb as any person attached to it cant get out of it, the more struggle it does the more entangled it gets, so to save Arjuna from the miseries Lord Krishna advised him to not take himself as the cause, but from a simpleton view how can that be possible when i do a work and it leads me  to some results and i say i am not the cause of the whole thing. The Lord dispels his doubt by saying u can do ur duties not expecting the fruit and not taking urself as the cause but me. He says take the lord himself to be the cause of everything that he does and he is just acting for the gratification of the lord or he is just a means for the lord to do some of his leelas, so when a person just takes himself as the means but takes lord as the doer then how can the karma bind him, for a karma to bind him there has to be a doer and the doer is the lord and karma cant bind the lord and whenever u dont do ur duties because of the motivation of fear and attachment then its a kind of attachment in itself because the basic human emotions is involved, so when emotions are involved bondage is there. So the lord says to Arjuna that he is a kshatriya and his duties is to fight for justice and dharma which means righteousness. So, he tells Arjuna to lift gandhiv and fight thinking that he is doing his duties and that has to be done anyway and also that he is not taking lives from his relatives bodies but he is acting as a means for the lord to annihilate injustice and maintain equanimity.

Spiritulity VS Religion

I think Religion and Spirituality are two interrealed terms. Both of them are related with each other as the essense behind the both is the same thing. For me Religion is the basic principles that u follow in life to live a righteous life, to do ur prescribed duties and to do things for the welfare of world. Religion is inevitable as this is what we grew up by and what we will be walking on. Religion leads a man to do his duties properly and to walk in the path of righteousness, religion basically follows the teachings of god or an enlightened person whileas spiritualilty is little broader topic for me, Spirituality is basically doing research, analysis and implementation of the soul or spirit. Our soul is our ultimate consciouness and it is eternal, never born never dead. We people feel all kinds of attachment, pain and pleasure because we identify ourself with body. Relationship, hatred, fondness are all there because of mind, so when a person takes himself as a soul then he is a consciouness in himself and he is eternal, when he gets enlightened  on the fact that he is not the body but the soul then he is liberated from this material world.The main cause of bondage in this material world is desire. What we become in our next life is decided by our desire at the time of death. Religion puts us in the right track to get past all the attachments and spirituality leads us to liberation or in simple terms religion is the basis of purification of ones mind and body but spirituality is the process of liberting the soul from this material world. If i were asked which is more important, religion or spirituality then my answer would be spirituality as lord Krishna said in bhagawad geeta ," give up all varities of religion and surrender to me and i shall give you  liberation", its obvious to us from the words of the lord that religion is not the most importand thing in any people's life, still people identify themselves with there body, mind and religion and act accordingly. From spirituality context killing in the name of dharma is the most absurd deed because this very own deed leads religion to be a poision. We all humanity should take ourself as soul because two souls are same though they may have an individual identity ans two souls never kill each other only two bodies does, we can make this world a better place to live if Osama Bin Laden, Americans and all other human being take up the idea of spirituality, religion is the not the end goal but spirituality is.

Bhagawad Gita

Bhagawad Gita is the arrays of sacred words spoken to arjuna by lord Krishna. Lord Krishna is the eight avatara of Lord Vishnu and he is taken as the perfect and full avatara by hindus. When the war was about to start Arjuna asked his chariot Lord Krishna to take him between the two sides whom he could see as after the battle there would be many faces that will disappear forever. Arjuna caught up in his own attachment and moha tells the lord that he is not going to fight because in the battle if there is anyone who is going to die, it will be his brothers or relatives. How could he shower arrows to his guru Dronacharya, his kulguru Kripacharya, his grandshire Vishma as they were all senior and respected persons for him. He was in the midst of dilemma and then the lord spoke. The Lord said "u talk like an intelligent person but u are grieving for nothing", the wise never laments nor repents on his deeds, the lord further said that in this world nobody can be killed as the consciousness is the soul and the soul is never born never dead. The body is just an uniform that the soul changes. So its not a good thing to be attached to the body and repent on it as it was never alive. The person that u are seeing are all souls and how can they be killed, they have to shed there body by anymeans someday, its just the matter of when and how, if u dont take there lives and let them shed there bodies somebody else will as u are in the battle field and this is the place to fight for what is right. The Pandavs are there to fight for a higher cause then hastinapur, its for justice, for dharma so arjuna being a kshatriya was his foremost duties to fight for justice. Furthermore the lord says u have to do ur prescibed duties which is inevitable. Its better to do ones duties imperfectly then to do others duties perfectly. Arjuna was kshatriya and his duties was being a warrior and also to save the dharma and fight against injustice and in doing so u shouldnt expect for the fruit of the karma. There is a line that says "do the karmas but dont except for the fruit", as expecting the fruit of the result is an attachment to itself, the best ways to do ur duties is to offer the fruit of karma to me as this way the doer doesnt be the doer but as a means to do the karma and the lord becomes the doer and when one is just a mean but nor a doer, how can a karma bid him then and he explains Arjuna 18 types of yoga and out of them bhakti, karma, jnana and dhyana yoga are the topmost.He further expalins all the yogas to arjuna and he tries to tell arjuna that he is the greatest among men and arjuna still doent take on that so he shows his universal form to arjuna and arjuna being convinced by his words takes his bow and goes for the fight ulimately leading Pandavas to the victory. The essense of Gita cant be explained in a short post, as it is spoken in sutras and out of every sutras 100 meanings can be produced so to explore it and have an understanding u need to have a guru who can not only explain geeta but all the upanishad and vedas to you as geeta is the very essense of what upanishad and vedas are trying to say.

How to get started in spirituality

We all are spiritual in some ways, we all want that inner peace and the inner ecstasy. Its all about reaching that stage where there is nothing but ecstacy, peace. so how could one start in the path of spirituality? well there is only one answer to this i.e to find a guru who has already experienced the divine and can help u to reach it. Our scriptures say that without guru there is no knowledge, guru is not a person but the embodiment of knowledge, even bhagawad gita emphasizes on finding the right guru for the spiritual upliftment. When you find guru try making ur guru happy and when guru is happy then the knowledge is bestowed. I also have a guru and i fall in the disciple succession of his reverend Paramhans Swami NIKHILESHORANANDA, my guru is one of his disciple. So trying find a guru and especially if anyone is interested in sadhana, mantra, tantra then i can help u on the path. Secondly is there is one thing that i recommend will be BHAGAWAD GITA as this book is the song of god, lord Krishna portrays the beautiful essence of vedas in the question and answer format. He uses the essense of vedas to dispel the doubts and insecurity of arjuna and arjuna fights to win the battle of kurukshetra, the words are immortal and i recommend every person who wants to start in the spirituality by reading bhagawad gita but even to understand geeta nicely u have to have a guru, so everything boils down to four letter word "GURU", so to get started in spirituality one has to find a guru and receive the knowledge through Gurus grace
