GANA[MUSIC]

GANA is the easiest way to to attain BHAGAVAN.ALL the Vedas are pure.IT cannot be said that one is greater than the other.Be it be yajur,sama or rig,all Vedas are pure. although all Vedas enjoy the same  status, the Alwars,or Nayanmars or other bakthas sing"chandiran  thalayil aninda  sankaran samavedi"scent moon [Lord shiva], who wears the crescent  moon on his head  is a sama vedi..In gita also lord says, "amongst vedas, i am sama veda.Bakthas also address the lord as hey sama gana priya, sama gana lola,. why is lord sama gana priya? why not rig,yajur,or atharvana veda priya?.Does he not like other vedas? are not other vedas pure?. it,s because sama veda is in musical form, Bhagavan loves it..Music attracts Baghavan.

Limitation of samadhi

Samadhi of any kind is a state. It begins at a certain time.It has avalue over aperiod of time. At the end of the period it subsides.This kind of a beginning followed by a certain duration and further marked by a full termination is what is called samadhi. or a state or avastha.since samadhi is a state or avastha, the seeker cannot carry it with him all the time. To be in samadhi, he has to be away from all other states. Activity is a state. inactivity is also a state. Experience is also a state. so too non experience is also a state. if he has to be in samadhi ,he should be away from all these, in this light what can samadhi mean and what place of importance it can claim in assessment of reason?If samadhi is our goal, then we cannot continue with life movements.We have to refuse the normal life and activities if we want samadhi, as the two are in mutual opposition. Thus only spiritual pursuit will have to be viewed as  standing in full opposition to it.Finally Vedanta vichara alone works if you want to the supreme truth.
