यत्र यत्र रघुनाथकीर्तनं...Ray of wisdom by #SriSri #Chandrashekara Bharathi Mahaswamiji:

On the occasions of #Srimad #Ramayana Parayana, HH used to cause a plank to be kept near the place of parayana and offer pooja before conclusion. Others could not understand why.. 1/4
Sri Jagadguru offered pooja to a vacant plank. When asked once, He remarked, "haven't you heard the Sloka we read in the beginning of Ramayana Parayana, which says - prostrate to #Hanuman, who is present in all humility wherever #SriRama is being worshipped, shedding 2/4
tears of joy?' Is it not our duty to offer a proper seat and offer poojas to Him, though He is invisible to the naked eyes?" Such was the unshakable faith, Sri Jagadguru had in the scriptures, such is the real Shraddha. 3/4
Sri Jagadguru always preached and practised it unfailingly.

यत्र यत्र रघुनाथकीर्तनं तत्र तत्र कृतमस्तकांजलिम्
वाष्पवारिपरिपूर्णालोचनं मारुतिं नमत राक्षसान्तकम् ॥

In whatever way the universe came into existence,why not assume that the beings inhabiting it evolved the system of #Dharma by themselves?These and similar questions are asked by many people.#Srimad #Appayya #Dikshita has very cogently answered them in his work AtmarpanaStuti:1/n Image
क्षित्यादीनामवयववतां निश्चितं जन्म तावत्..It is a fact that must be accepted by all hands that all things which have parts must have come into existence at some time or other. To say that a thing came into existence but that there was none to make it come into being is quite 2/n
illogical.For, a thing is said to come into existence only when we conceive of that thing as non-existing before that moment.There must be some reason which brings about the coming into existence. It cannot be postulated that the thing itself subjected itself to the operation 3/n

#Jagadguru #SriSri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji on Three important qualities for a #Spiritual #aspirant:

The first is Astikyam- firm faith in the Vedic tenets. The Kathopanishad states that one devoid of Astikyam would attach more importance to materialistic possessions,1/5 Image
would believe not in the existence of other worlds, would remain unaware of साम्परायः – the means to spiritual welfare – and end up remaining in the cycle of Samsara–
न साम्परायः प्रतिभाति बालं प्रमाद्यन्तं वित्तमोहेन मूढम्
अयं लोको नास्ति पर इति मानी पुनः पुनर्वशमापद्यते मे॥2/5
The second quality that is essential for anyone in the spiritual path is Vairagya or dispassion. Someone once asked “I seek Moksha for myself and my family.” – this very statement indicates the absence of Vairagya that is essential for those in the path of liberation.Vairagya 3/5

#Jagadguru #Shankaracharya #SriSri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji: In this world, man endears himself to various objects and pursuits. When man thinks that something can give him happiness, he desires it. The desire for happiness itself is independent of any other desire. 1/4
That is why Sukha or happiness is defined as the object of desire that is independent of all other desires – इतरेच्छानधीन-इच्छाविषयत्वम्. While everyone desires objects to be happy,the desire for happiness itself is never questioned. No one asks “Why do you want to be happy?”.2/4
This desire for happiness for one’s own self arises because one’s own self is the most beloved. This leads us to the question, “What is the Self?”
Self:The Most Beloved. We can,by a #knowledge of clay, be aware of all objects made of clay. Likewise,by knowing gold, we can be 3/4

#Jagadguru #SriSri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji: The #Mahatmas are ever-calm and compassionate and bring about the welfare of all, like the fresh season of spring – शान्ता महान्तो निवसन्ति सन्तः वसन्तवल्लोकहितं चरन्तः
Once fingers in the hand had an argument as to who is 1/5
superior, with each one putting forth its importance.
Thumb: Without me, none of the other fingers can function properly.
Index finger: I command all people.
Middle finger: I am at the centre and am the tallest.
Ring finger: I am the most wealthy! All rings reach me first.
2/5
Finally the little finger said, “I have no such unique utility or greatness as the other four. However, whenever someone puts up their hand in the Anjali Mudra🙏 in reverence to God or Mahatmas, it is me who is fortunate to have their Darshan first.”
The moral here is that 3/5

Yudhishtira:
माता गुरुतरा भूमेः पिता उच्चतरश्च खात्(The mother is weightier than the earth; the father is higher than the heaven)
#ParentsFirst-Ray of wisdom by #SriSri #Chandrashekara Bharathi Mahaswamiji:

HH asked a devotee,who sought initiation if he knew the dictates..1/3 Image
of the #Upanishads that one should consider mother as god first and then the father and then the guru. The devotee admitted the knowledge. HH asked him to come after following the first two dictates. The devotee then submitted that his parents were not kind to him and there..2/4
was no opportunity to serve them. Sri Jagadguru clarified that the dictate was addressed to him and not to his parents. He should strive hard to please them and gradually win their love. If he did not fulfil his obligation to his parents first, there was no use in 3/4
