MAYAVADI

Those who believe that the effect as such is not the real transformation of it's material cause is regarded as mayavadins or vivartavadins, Advaitavadins are very often misunderstood and described by many schools as mayavadins.but this is an inaccurate statement.Vada or theory refers to reality.all the other communications which  we use are only tharkas, inference, etc.BUT  MAYA according to ADVAIDA VEDANTA IS neither real nor unreal. it's anirvachaneeya[cannot be explained through words] it's neither real or sat, nor unreal or asat. it's indescribable.IT'Snot real as it is  not permanent, and what is real cannot be negated also.IT'S not  unreal like the son of a barren woman, as it's  effect . world appears and is percieved, so maya is not relly a theory. IT'S an account of an appearence.THAT'S WHY THE ADVAITINS are found to say"VAYAM BRAHMAVADINAH, NATU MAYAVADINAHA.[WE BELIEVE IN THE THEORY OF BRAHMAN AND NOT IN THE THEORY OF MAYA.]IMPLICATION IS THAT ADVAITINS accept non-dual Brahman  as the only reality and everything is false.

MEDITATION ON BRAHMAN

BRAHMAN, WHICH IS THE SUBSTRATUM, ON WHICH THE UNIVERSE APPEARS. IT'S THE CAUSE [BOTH MATERIAL AND EFFICIENT] OF THE UNIVERSE, INTO   THE SAME IT MERGES, WHICH ITSELF IS WHAT APPEARS AS THE UNIVERSE, HOWEVER BRAHMAN TRANSCENDS THIS UNIVERSE, WHICH CANNOT BE DESCRIBED IN WORDS, NOR EVEN CONCEIVED BY MIND.,WHOS'E TRUE NATURE EVEN GODS AND GREAT SAGES DO NOT KNOW, NOT TO SPEAK OF LESSER BEINGS; MY SALUTATIONS YOU KRISNA, WHO ART BRAHMAN ITSELF.[NARAYANEEYAM-98-1ST VERSE[NISHKALA BRAHMOPASANA].

KRISHNA TO NARADA[ASSOCIATION WITH HOLY MEN]

RELATIONSHIP WITH GODS THROUGH VEDIC RITUALS BRING IN GOOD AND BAD RESULTS. WHEN DONE CORRECTLY ACCORDING TO SASTRAS, AND NOT OTHERWISE.BUT ASSOCIATION WITH HOLY MEN WHOSE MINDS ARE ENTIRELY ON ISHWARA, ENDS ONLY IN GOOD.DEVAS BLESS MEN ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY ARE GIVEN AS OFFERINGS IN RITUALS.JUST AS SHADOW OF A FORM CORRESPONDS TO SHAPE OF THE FORM. THE FAVOUR OF DEVAS CORRESPONDS TO RITUAL PERFORMED. BUT HOLY MEN BLESS THE AFFLICTED OUT OF LOVE, AND NOT FROM CONSIDERATIONS OF ANY SELFISH GAIN FOR THEMSELVES.[BHAKTHI RATNAVALI BY VISHNU PURI]

VEGETARIANISM IN HINDU SCRIPTURES.

There is a reason why vegetarian food is promoted in early scriptures.Generally Brahmins are prohibited in scriptures completely from meat eating. Others are also permitted to have meat in a little quantity occasionally.Thus non vegearianism is not permitted in our culture.Man's teeth and internal organs are not fit for recieving and digesting meat.Excessive meat spoils the digestive system.When animals are killed they are highly stressed, and they secrete various poisonous fluids in their body, and when we eat the same our health is naturally affected by poisonous secretions.Also what right i have to kill the animal when i  cannot create the same.The right for creation and destruction lies with Ishwara alone. For him  all beings have the same value, there is nothing big or small about it. Therfore it's better if we end animal cruelity.

WHY AGNI HOTRA?

ASHES FROM AGNIHOTRAM ENRICHES POTASH AND NITROGEN. IT CAN BE USED AS A GOOD MANURE. EARTH WORMS GROW  THRU ASH IN LARGE NOS, AND THEY TURN ORGANIC WASTES INTO MANURE. SMOKE OF AGNIHOTHRA PURIFIES THE ATMOSPHERE AND OZONE AND BECOMES RESPONSIBLE FOR TIMELY RAINS.IT HAS BEEN PROVED THAT PHYSICAL AILMENTS, SICKNESS,AND DEASES BECOMES LESS IN HOUSES WHERE AGNIHOTHRA IS REGULARLY PERFORMED. IT RENEWS THE BRAIN CELLS, REVITALISES THE SKIN, PURIFIES THE BLOOD AND PREVENTS GROWTH OF PATHOGENIC BACTERIA. IT ERADICATES BACTERIA AND MICRO-ORGANISMS. THIS WILL LESSEN THE EFFECT OF ATOMIC RADIATION TO A GREAT EXTENT. IT KILLS THE GERMS OF T.B,MEASLES, SMALLPOX AND COW-POX. IT LEADS TO THE PURIFICATION OF AIR, SOIL, AND WATER. THERE ARE VARIOUS PAPERS WHICH DISCUSESS THE EFFECTS OF AGNIHOTHRA. TWO SUCH WORKS ARE--AGNIHOTHRA THE MESSAGE OF TIME  BY DR. MADHUKAR P.GAIKWAD AND THE INTEGRAL SCIENCE OF YAGNA BY YUG NIRMAN YOJNA.
