distant entity unrelated to us. It has a presence on earth through the power of its rays, which not only pervade our environment but also touch our very hearts. By the Sun the Vedas don’t simply refer to the outer luminary, the central star of our solar system. They mean the
principle of light & consciousness on a universal level, of which the Sun is our local representative.

Rig-Veda
Mandala 1, Sukta 115.

चि॒त्रं दे॒वाना॒मुद॑गा॒दनी॑कं॒ चक्षु॑र्मि॒त्रस्य॒ वरु॑णस्या॒ग्नेः ।
आप्रा॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी अ॒न्तरि॑क्षं॒ सूर्य॑ आ॒त्मा जग॑तस्त॒स्थुष॑श्च ॥ १.११५.०१

A group of bright golden or zodiacal deities is emerging as a solarium. These
are Mitra, Varuna, Agni and Jyotirmaya Eye, the publisher of the entire world. They have risen and filled the Dulok, Earth and space with their resplendent glory. The Sun that is in this circle, because they are transcendental, they are the inspiring Gods of all and are the
universe and the immovable creative soul.

सूर्यो॑ दे॒वीमु॒षसं॒ रोच॑मानां॒ मर्यो॒ न योषा॑म॒भ्ये॑ति प॒श्चात् ।
यत्रा॒ नरो॑ देव॒यन्तो॑ यु॒गानि॑ वितन्व॒ते प्रति॑ भ॒द्राय॑ भ॒द्रम् ॥ १.११५.०२

The Sun follows behind the virtuous and bright Ushadevi, like a man following the most
beautiful young woman. When the beautiful Usha appears, then the hardworking people perform their duty to worship the Sun God. Surya is welfare and worshiped.
भ॒द्रा अश्वा॑ ह॒रितः॒ सूर्य॑स्य चि॒त्रा एत॑ग्वा अनु॒माद्या॑सः ।
न॒म॒स्यन्तो॑ दि॒व आ पृ॒ष्ठम॑स्थुः॒ परि॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी य॑न्ति स॒द्यः ॥ १.११५.०३

Auspicious are the Sun's Bay-coloured Horses, bright, changing hues, meet for our shouts of triumph. Bearing our prayers, the sky's
ridge have they mounted, and in a moment speed round earth and heaven.

तत्सूर्य॑स्य देव॒त्वं तन्म॑हि॒त्वं म॒ध्या कर्तो॒र्वित॑तं॒ सं ज॑भार ।
य॒देदयु॑क्त ह॒रितः॑ स॒धस्था॒दाद्रात्री॒ वास॑स्तनुते सि॒मस्मै॑ ॥ १.११५.०४

It is the divinity and importance of the supreme motivational sun
that they start, but leave their immortal creed as they go, & go astray, & absorb their rays from this world. At the same time, they pull their rays and horses from one place and appoint them at another place. At the same time, D night covers everyone from the cover of darkness.
तन्मि॒त्रस्य॒ वरु॑णस्याभि॒चक्षे॒ सूर्यो॑ रू॒पं कृ॑णुते॒ द्योरु॒पस्थे॑ ।
अ॒न॒न्तम॒न्यद्रुश॑दस्य॒ पाजः॑ कृ॒ष्णम॒न्यद्ध॒रितः॒ सं भ॑रन्ति ॥ १.११५.०५

Motivational Surya in the morning reveals his illuminator form in the celestial sky to illuminate his friends, Varuna and the whole
world.Their rasmophilis or green horses are the creation of a bright bright dark glow capable of stopping the dark night.

अ॒द्या दे॑वा॒ उदि॑ता॒ सूर्य॑स्य॒ निरंह॑सः पिपृ॒ता निर॑व॒द्यात् ।
तन्नो॑ मि॒त्रो वरु॑णो मामहन्ता॒मदि॑तिः॒ सिन्धुः॑ पृथि॒वी उ॒त द्यौः ॥ १.११५.०६

O luminous
sun god, today, at sunrise, you may be scattered here and save us from our sins. Not only from sin, everything that is blasphemy, is sorrowful, sorrow is impure, protect us all. Everything we have said; Friends, Varuna, Aditi, Indus,Prithvi & Prithvi Deity of Dulok respect him,
approve, they also protect us.

à Tribute to Mother!
।। मातृ देवो भव:।।

Worshipping God as Mother & Mother as God has been an inherent part of Sanātana Culture.
It has been our unbroken living traditions in which the ideals of universal divinity seamlessly transcend physically as our personal Mother.

नास्ति मातृसमा छाया नास्ति मातृसमा गतिः।
नास्ति मातृसमं त्राणं नास्ति मातृसमा प्रपा॥

There is no shade like a mother, no resort-like a mother, no security like a mother, no other ever-giving fountain of life!

{Skanda Purana Mo. Ch. 6.103-104} ImageImage
हस्तस्पर्शो हि मातृणामजलस्य जलांजलि: ।

The touch of a mother's hand is like the handful of water for one in want of it.

सहस्त्रं हि पितुर्माता गौरवेणातिरिच्यते ।

II Sri Adi Śaṅkarācārya - श्री आदि शङ्कराचार्य II
Sōpānaṁ : 8 Longing for Renunciation :

मोक्षस्य हेतुः प्रथमो निगद्यते वैराग्यमत्यन्तमनित्यवस्तुषु।
ततः शमश्चापि दमस्तितिक्षा न्यासः प्रसक्ताखिलकर्मणां भृशम्॥६९॥

"Intense dispassion towards ephemeral objects is the first pre-requisite for 'moksha’(liberation). After that, ‘sama’ that which restrains the mind, ‘Dama’ that high controls the senses, ‘titiksha’, forbearance to accept destiny, & renunciation of all motivated actions, should be
developed."

ततः श्रुतिस्तन्मननं सतत्त्वध्यानं चिरं नित्यनिरन्तरं मुनेः।
ततोऽविकल्पं परमेत्य विद्वानिहैव निर्वाणसुखं समृच्छति॥ ७०॥

Knowledge & Bharat :

सर्वद्रव्येषु विद्यैव द्रव्यमाहुरनुत्तमम्।
अहार्यत्वाद् अनर्घत्वाद् अक्षयत्वात् च सर्वदा॥
{Hitopadesha}

The Ancient Indian society gave a lot of value for knowledge. The traditional name for India is Bharat, as we know. The meaning of the word is
interesting; ‘bha’ means knowledge and ‘rata’ means passionate. Those who are passionate about knowledge are the people of Bharat.

Meaning of the Sloka :
Knowledge alone is unparalleled among all possessions at all times, people say. It is so because it cannot be stolen, it
cannot be valued and it does not diminish (even when given to others). Our possessions make us feel proud. There are several types of material possessions we see in society – houses, cars, money, political power, high office, physical strength, beauty, knowledge and several other
