What was the key to Buddha's enlightenment? He obviously tried all the methods that we know about. What was his secret that seemingly no one else had tried before (at least that we know of)?
#enlightenment #Buddha Image
Siddhartha felt cheated in the name of enlightenment.

When his master said, “You have to move on. I am only a teacher, not a master. I was pretending and I am very sorry!”. Buddha was totally shattered and tired.
#enlightenment #Buddha Image
He went to take a bath in a nearby river, Niranjana. It is a very small river; in the summer it is not even one foot deep. And he was taking a bath, but he was so weak that he could not cross that small current.
#enlightenment #Buddha Image
He had to hang onto a branch of a tree for a few moments to gather some energy so that he could get out of the river.

Those words kept running in his head and conclusively made it clear to him that there is no enlightenment.
#enlightenment #Buddha Image
Though denying to be real master can only be claimed by the real master, according to me Buddha’s master was real courageous master who declared himself charlatan.
#enlightenment #Buddha Image
Buddha’s last hook of attachment and of desire to be enlightened disappeared in one stroke. Buddha’s seeking ended. He became available to non-doing- a rest ,
#enlightenment #Buddha Image
a point where there was neither the inward nor the outward journey remained. For him, not only the material world was in vain, the spiritual world also became futile.
#enlightenment #Buddha Image
And he went down to rest. Not that Buddha had to do anything to go into rest. When there was nothing left to worry about, he became sure, became available to rest.
#enlightenment #Buddha Image
He didn't have to make any effort to rest. That night he was completely depressed but relaxed. Depression becomes relaxation if there is no longing.
#enlightenment #Buddha Image
When he opened his eyes in the morning, the last star was setting. He watched as the last star was setting; And with its disappearance, he also merged. Siddhartha Gautama became Buddha.
#enlightenment #Buddha Image
People began asking him how did you attain enlightenment? What is the method? If he had said that it was done by this method or that method, he would have been wrong, because he found it only when there was no remedy no method then there was nowhere to go.
#enlightenment #Buddha Image
Enlightenment always happens without efforts, it is a fruit of effortlessness.

Swami Jai Deep

Why is Bhagwan Vishnu called Hari?

Harihi Om.

For many reasons; mainly is because He takes away (performs harana of) pains & sorrow.

He (Naaraayana) is called ‘Hari’ as he destroys sorrow.

-Parama Samhita, Adhyaaya 2, Mantra 99
#SanatanaDharma #SanatanDharma #Sanatani Image
Also because He is the destroyer of the devatas, as per a Smrti shloka quoted by Svaami Vijayeendra Teertha Shripaadagalu, in Shaiva-Sarvasva Khandanam of Nyaayamauktikamaala.
#SanatanaDharma #SanatanDharma #Sanatani Image
ब्रह्माणमिंद्रं रुद्रं च यमं वरुणमेव च ॥ ८६ ॥

निगृह्य हरते यस्मात्तस्माद्धरिरहोच्यते ।

Being the destroyer who destroys Brahmaa, Indra, Rudra, Yama & Varuna, he is known as ‘Hari’.

-Padma Puraana Uttara Khanda, Adhyaaya 226, Shloka 86

What is Shukra Niti and what to do on a Friday?

Shukracharya: A great knowledgeable person who was respected even by Devas and Saints. He was an expert in Political Science. He founded the Shukra Niti. In his niti he has laid down the following points:
#SanatanaDharma #hinduism https://t.co/syF74bOq87twitter.com/i/web/status/1…


One should never reveal certain things in front of others.

It’s great if you are loved and respected by all, but don’t show it off in front of others- doing so will lower your respect in the eyes of others
#SanatanaDharma #hinduism https://t.co/2pRf0avyqJtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
If you have to face insult at any point in your life, it’s best to keep it to yourself; telling that to everyone you know will make you feel insulted in front of others as well.

Tantra is an abstract religion, it doesn't have a clear definition. Different seekers define it differently, many not even consistent with each other. Tantra, though, is clearly recognized as being very different from the ancient Hindu Vedic tradition.
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Before trying to delve into tantrism, it is important to understand that this is not a single coherent system. It is rather a tradition that gradually evolved from an accumulation of practices and rituals, in order to attain the grace of the divine.
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
The practitioner of tantra uses his own prana or divine energy in order to harness it to the universal prana, thereby attaining his goal. The goal in question could be either spiritual, material or both.

Tantra in Hinduism could be considered to be parallel to the Hindu Vedic tradition. Tantra contains written records of the Agama, which comes in four main parts, as follows:
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Jnana or metaphysical knowledge
Yoga or meditative practices
Kriya or ritual practices
Charya or ethical and religious principles of conduct
#SanatanaDharma #Hinduism ImageImage
Most of the staunch Hindu Vedic practitioners, however, consider the Tantras to be anti-Vedic in character and hence, altogether shun both the cult and the practitioners of the same.

Correspondence between Macrocosm and Microcosm
#spirituality #Cosmos twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
The universe consists of a Mahabrahmanda, or grand Cosmos, and of numerous Brihatbrahmanda, or macrocosms evolved from it. As is said by the Nirvana Tantra, all which is in the first is in the second.
#spirituality #Cosmos twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
In the latter are heavenly bodies and beings, which are microcosms reflecting on a minor scale the greater worlds which evolve them. "As above, so below." This mystical maxim of the West is stated in the Vishvasara Tantra as follows:
