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. 

JIVAN-MUKLTHI-VIVEKA

न  देहो नेन्द्रियम  प्राणों  न  मनो  बुद्याहम्कृथी । न  चित्तम  नैव  माया  न  च  व्योमादिकं  जगतु                 न  कर्ता  नैव  बोक्ता  च  न  च बोजयिता  तता । केवलं  चित्सदानंदो ब्रह्मेवात्मा  यातार्ततहा ।                           The self is neither the body, nor the senses, nor life, nor the mind, nor the intelligence,nor the ego,nor the thinking, nor the maya,nor the creation beginning with the space, not also the doer, nor the enjoyer. does not also cause these, in reality, the self is Brahman., which is knowledge, existence and limitless ananda.                                                                                                               This are 33 and 34 th  verses from jivanmukthi viveka by swami sri VIDYARANYA.

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.

SIX SCHOOL OF THOUGHTS OF HINDUISM

In  Hinduism we have six school of thoughts. These are known as SATH DARSHANAS. sad in sanskrit being six. and Darshana means philosophy.[drs the root stands for to see or to understand.The six school of thouhts are Yoga-----[ashtanga yoga=eight limbs of yoga shastra]Yoga  shastra deals with body and the mind.It also talks about samatvam, which means to balance our body and mind, thereby  attaining cleansing the mind so that one can attain ti knowledge of the shastras.   [2]mimmsa= HERE shastra deals with our actions and rituals therein to reduce our dukkha[sadness] affecting the mind.According to these school of thoughts, if we perfect our actions, both physical and spiritual, we will never suffer from dukkha.[3]Nyaya=Nyaya emphasises on logic and establishes cause and effect relationships, between everything happening in this universe. Everything happens because of a cause, including suffering, and if we address the cause of dukkham, we can get rid of our troubles.[4] vaisehika=According to this school world goes through stages of evolution and dissolution.,including our actions. If we understand this correctly and act according to right stage of our actions we remain happy and avoid pain.[5]SAMKHYA=According to this school, life is a combination of consciousness[PURUSHA]  and PRAKRITHI[  inertness] While  Purusha is consciousness, the body, mind and senses are prakruthi. PRAKRUTHI depends upon Purusha for existence.At the same time PURUSHA needs Prakruthi in order to function in this universe. These close links between the two is  what allows life to function. [6] V EDANTA= IT holds the view of knowledge of religion as the cure for suffering.Vedanta  has KARMA KANDA [ACTION OR RITUALISTIC] and JNYANA KANDA[KNOWLEDGE  based]    Within this vedas, we have three schools, namely ADVAITA,VISHISHTADVAITA, AND DWAITA.      all SIX SCHOOL OF ABOVE MENTIONED   THOUGHTS          ARE FOR  addressing the spiritual  uplift for the mankind.
