 Cover Page

The cover page of the April 2020 issue of Vedanta Sandesh is yet
another beautiful creation of God - the Red-billed Leothrix - Leiothrix lutea.
This is also called as the Lipstik Bird, because of its reddish bill.
This bird is a native of Himalayas. The leiothrix is about six inches
in length, generally olive green, and has a yellow throat with orange shading
on the breast. The yellow-orange breast and red bill are distinctive. The tail
feathers have a peculiar outward curve near the tip. It also has a dull yellowish
ring around the eye that extends to the beak. The edges of the wing feathers
are brightly colored with yellow, orange, red and black and the forked tail
is olive brown and blackish at the tip. The cheeks and side of the neck are a
bluish gray color. The female is a lot paler than the male and lacks the red
patch on the wings. This bird is very active and an excellent singer but very
secretive and difficult to see. Females are somewhat duller than males.
This picture was taken by Poojya Guruji Swami Atmanandaji at Sattal
in Uttarakhand, India in Feb 2020. Glory be to God who has created this
amazing creation. Om Namah Shivaya.

Validation of Hindu Systems

Nothing like Corona has ever been faced by humanity in our recorded hu-
man history. As of Mar’20 end more than seven lakhs of people the world over are
infected by this dreaded virus and thousands have already died. As the infection
spreads rapidly by close proximity so the most vulnerable people become our
nearest & dearest ones. This is shocking. So many families have been made the
victim and have got wiped off. It is like a super-bug for which we still do not have
any cure. There is no other way except to maintain a more social distance.
Adverse moments, however, reveal the beauty & importance of our various
values & systems moreso the ancient Hindu systems. It is great seeing the world
leaders now wisely resorting to Namaste to greet each other. Not only Namaste
is more hygienic but the implications are also so profound & respectful. We basi-
cally say with our folded hand mudra that the divinity in me pays obeisance to the
divinity in you. Whoa, just think of it. What a profound vision this is. We are not
only conscious of our fundamental divinity but also look upon everyone with pro-
found respect. Whatever may be the color or status of the other person, but we as
V edanta Sandes h

though say that irrespective of the fact whether the other person knows or does
not know, they are all the child of the same God, they are my own manifestation.

ñ
 Various problems of the world today emanate from a psyche of inflated self-im-
portance and looking down upon others. This denigratory & fragmentary psyche
is ruining the world. Namaste is the answer. The best place to start. Let others
start from the hygienic considerations, but sooner or later they will appreciate its
philosophical implications too. Resolve to do only Namaste, and we will slowly &
surely get back to our roots and also help create a more healthy world.
Not only Namaste, but remember how strict our forefathers were about our
cooking & eating systems. Cooking was regulated and managed by elders with
profound considerations of hygiene. I remember the chouka system in our hous-
es. The motivation was hygiene alone. Today we may have different gadgets &
cooking systems but the spirit of hygiene needs to be maintained. Even the state
of mind & body of the cook was a matter of consideration. What we eat & how we
eat, is no small thing, but is of great importance. Eating was there near the rasoi,
and we had to take bath, sit in a cleaned place on a pata, and then the thali was
served by authorized people alone. Even while serving rotis the thali was not to
be touched. Well, one thing is definite - our forefathers were sticklers about hy-
giene and eating systems. Creativity is the ability to incorporate the fundamental
spirit in our new environs. We had to not only wash hands but even feet before &
after the food. Why do we need the dreaded Corona to take us back to our roots?
There are many more things which are coming in my mind which revali-
date the importance of our ancient systems but this time will limit myself to these
two things. With fundamental respect for our forefathers, we will discover the
beauty of many more. Modernity should not imply blind following of the west and
rejection of our own systems but should have our own self-respect & identity and
show to the world the importance of time-tested Hindu values & systems.
Namaste.

 Sadhana Panchakam
S adhana Panchakam is the road map by Sri
Adi Shankaracharyaji in our journey of spiritual evolution.
This text is a very crisp, precise, and systematic literature for
our spiritual growth. So far we have seen eight sutras covered
in the first sloka which begin with getting introduced to the
Vedas, performing actions as prescribed in the Vedas, offering
all actions at the Feet of the Lord and so on. The first sloka
concluded with the sutra that having brought about an intense
desire to know the Self, give up attachments to one’s home and
family and leave the home to seek knowledge. With this back-
ground we now enter the second sloka and take a look at the
nineth sutra which is ‘Sangah satsu vidheeyataam’....

lax% lRlq fo/kh;rke~%

Seek companionship with men of wisdom.

In the last sutra we saw that the seeker who has been living
a righteous life, who has invoked devotion at the Feet of the
Lord, who has performed actions as a worship towards Ishvara
is now inspired to leave all attachments of home and family.
To such a seeker the Acharya says seek the company of men
of wisdom who revel in and teach the knowledge of the Truth.
V edanta Sandes h

10

ñ
 Sadhana Panchakam
Thus seek ‘Satsanga’.

This is common understanding that we all are as good as the

company we keep. If we spend our valuable time in the com-
pany of worldly people and worldly goals we will surely get
more and more coloured in the shades of the individual ego
and seeking, where as, if we come in the company of holy and
knowledgable people, people with devotion and righteous val-
ues then we too shall get coloured with divine values of devo-
tion, selflessness, and the desire to know the truth of the world
and the Self. Thus here the Acharya says-Seek the company of
Sadhus, and Saints, of Men of wisdom, of Scriptures and good
literature. Go for regular satsangs, spend time in reading good
literature, chanting mantras and stotras, in singing the glories
of the Lord. Be in all such company where this seed of devo-
tion and knowledge is further nurtured. The blessing of such
devotion and satsang is that we start reflecting the gunas or the
attributes of our Upasya, our beloved God. We often struggle
to get rid of vices, negativity and a distracted mind. Here is the
key to it. The negation of something that we consider udesira-
ble and impure is more so possible when we bring to our mind
more higher values and ideals. The mind naturally has an incli-
nation and liking for something or the other because the mind
can never stay empty. The mind is like a child. If we don’t give
the right guidance then the mind is bound to be attracted to
V edanta Sandes h

11

ñ
 Sadhana Panchakam
all such things which may superficially appear to be enjoyable
but in the long run that which will only bring about a downfall.
So it is extremely important to give the mind an environment
of a divine goal, a divine ideal, and all such holy people and
means who will nourish the mind with good values of devotion
and knowledge. Once we are inspired and motivated for such
ideals then that which is mightier shall win. Good values shall
naturally overpower and replace all negative tendencies. So one
must aim to have a higher ideal and goal in life.

In this context one must also understand that as much as it is

important to be in good company it is equally important to stay
away from bad company. The world is full of vices which ap-
pear to be fascinating and attractive, but one must be alert and
aware that all such negative tendencies and superficial worldly
pleasures are momentary and only bind us in the shackles of
samsara. Thus the Acharya says ‘Sangah satsu vidheeyataam’.

Poojya Guruji

Learn to be at home - with yourself

Hari om !

Various things are being suggested by our well-wishers to fight the

Corona problem. Everyone is suggesting to us from various angles.

Keep social distance, maintain strict hygienic conditions, work to

increase your immunity by maintaining good health, keep a healthy

routine etc.

Let me also give a small suggestion to all my dear readers. In the

11th shloka of the 13th Chapter of Bhagwad Gita, Bhagwan Krishna

says “viviktdeshsevitvam aratirjansamsadih” meaning, one should

learn to be alone, being at home with yourself, secondly, do not

always crave for the company of others. Just imagine if everyone

has this particular quality then we won’t know when a three week

lockdown shall come & go. Not only this, but such people alone can

undertake their subjective journey to awaken to their own truth

one day. Our compulsive desire for either some company or even

preoccupation is more often than not, just an escape. Work or

company is never an escape for someone who can be at home with

V edanta Sandes h

themselves. Incapacity of this reveals that our work is an escape.

14
ñ
 So never be a workoholic, take up this challenge to be with your-

self, just being what you are, relaxed. Turn this opportunity into a

blessing by inculcating such a beautiful quality.

Love & om !

 Divine Qualities Liberate
Swamini Samatananda

The divine qualities lead to liberation, while the demonic qualities are the
cause for a continuing destiny of bondage. Grieve not, O Arjun, as you were
born with saintly virtues.
V edanta Sandes h

 Gita Reflections
T he Sixteenth Chapter of Srimad Bhagwad-
Geeta reveals two dispositions or qualities of the Mind, the Di-
vine and the Demonic qualities. Disposition of mind is so impor-
tant in giving a direction to life that Bhagwan calls it the wealth
of a person. Although generally a human being is a mixture of
both the divine qualities and the demonic ones but every individ-
ual predominantly has a personality which is either divine or as-
uri i.e. demonic. This Chapter gives us a vivid and discriminative
explanation of the nature of the divine qualities and the demonic
ones as well as the consequences of each one of them. In this slo-
ka Bhagwan says that this wealth of values and convictions in a
person, if they are divine they have the power to either redeem a
person from the shackles of samsara or if the values are demonic
then they can bind a person into samsara.

Life of a human being is a play of gunas. These gunas can be

those which can bring about the holistic welfare of the Self and
others, they can make a person self-centric or they can reflect
a dull nature. Every value speaks about the person. Which ever
type of gunas a person values the most, will make up for his kind
of wealth. For some people money, status, fame and name are
the most valuable wealth how so ever they may be achieved, and
for others it may be living the principles of honesty, magnanim-
ity, and sensitivity towards others. In this chapter Sri Krishna
gives us a clear understanding of what are the divine qualities in
V edanta Sandes h

18
ñ
18
 Gita Reflections
life that not only bring about welfare of a person here and now
but also open the doors to God-realization and liberaton from
Samsara.

Divine qualities or Daivi sampatti is the wealth of values in a

God-centric person. A person with divine qualities reflects a per-
sonality who has faith and devotion towards God. He lives a life of
righteousness and acts as an instrument of God in every action
he performs. Deligence and dynamism in action, selflessness, hon-
esty, sensitivity to others, magnanimity are the qualities of such a
person. When we think about such qualities they are qualities of
a mind who has held the hand of God, who is not dependent on
achievements outside but believes in the strength within which
he is able to invoke because of his devotion for God. Just as Ha-
numanji who invokes his strength, selflessness, intelligence, deli-
gence all from the love and devotion he feels for Sri Rama. One
who sees these divine qualities as the real wealth is a wise man.
He can win any battle in life.

Having unfolded the wealth of divine qualities Sri Krishna also

gives us a list of demonic qualities. These are all the vices of dis-
honesty, arrogance, hatred, raag-dwesh, all born out of a strong
sense of individuality, selfishness and ego. They are not believ-
ers in God and believe that they alone are the creators of their
own destiny. Bhagwan warns us of such negative qualities which
lead to the continuity of Samsara. As a human being we have the
V edanta Sandes h

19
ñ
19
 Gita Reflections
freedom to live by divine qualities or the demonic ones, but we all
must know the consequences of each of the value structure. We
should be aware that lack of knowledge with regards to values
in life will make us sorrowful, limited, dependent and itellectually
inert. Such is the glory of strong convictions towards values that
we can either create a heaven or create a hell for the self and oth-
ers. As Sri Krishna says that by having divine qualities our values
can either lead to liberation from the bondage of samsara or hav-
ing asuri gunas we can continue to suffer the pangs of bondage
in samsara.
Sri Krishna goes on to say, Grieve not, O Arjun, as you
were born with saintly virtues.

The Art Of Man Making
Why Work At All?

P.P. Gurudev
Swami Chinmayanandaji
V edanta Sandes h

21
ñ
 The Art of Man Making
I n the second chapter of Gita, though Kr-
ishna insisted that action should be undertaken, he concluded
it with an eloquent picture of the man of perfection rooted in
wisdom. Naturally Arjuna opens the third chapter with a perti-
nent question: O, Janardana! In case according to you, wisdom;
is nobler than action, why then, O, Keshava! you force me to en-
gage in this horrible action? In the earlier part of the last chap-
ter, emphasis was on Get up, ready to fight (tasmat uttishtha
Kaunteya yuddhaayaa kritanishchaya), while in the later part,
the man of wisdom, rooted in his higher consciousness, was
extolled as the perfect man. Hence this question.

To make it more vivid, the Pandava Prince again asks “You are
perplexing my understanding with conflicting theories-tell me
the one path by which I can attain the highest (shreyohamaap-
nuyaat)”. The sanskrit word (shreyas) is often translated as
“prosperity”. Though prosperity is nearest english word for
shreyas it is a mischievous translation as the term “prosperi-
ty” in its connotation cannot stand apart from a suggestion of
ones own prosperity at the expense of others. In India from
the Vedic times to this date we wish for shreyas which means
“prosperity an individual enjoys when all around him prosper”,
when the nation progresses. Arjuna wants to know which path
he should follow for the total happiness of his generation-as a
reslut of which he too may come to enjoy his share of the gen-
eral welfare, shreyas.
V edanta Sandes h

22
ñ
 The Art of Man Making
Krishna immediately explains why more than one path is in-
dicated. As a science of self-perfection, Vedanta is to bless all
mankind. Men are mainly of two types, 1. (Active and dynamic
type), 2. (the intellectual and thoughtful type). For the latter is
the path of wisdom Gyan Yoga, and for the former is the path
of action, Karma Yoga. These two paths were imparted by me,
from the beginning to this world-the path of knowledge for
the meditative type and the path of action for the active type
of men.

Any immature student of Vedanta can easily misunderstand

it as a path of actionlessness-of inertia, of stupor, of idle-
ness. The state of actionlessness (naishkarmyam) glorified in
our scriptures is not a state of ineffectual slumber, an escape
into the caves, a life of passive incompetence within the higher
walls of a rich monastery. When a science borrows words from
the world, it employs them to express a fresh connotation, a
new meaning, an unexpected truth. They are technical terms,
and such terms employed in any science we know have a special
wealth of meaning.

We have already found that when there are Vasanas, there are
thoughts in the mind, and they express at the body level in
the world around as actions”. If the Vasanas are bad, “thouh-
gts” are ignoble, and our “actions” criminal. If Vasanas are less,
V edanta Sandes h

23
ñ
 The Art of Man Making
we can have only less “thoughts” and so less “action”. There-
fore, when in an individual Vasanas are all totally eliminated,
then “thoughts” are no more-and therefore no more any de-
sire prompted-anxiety-whipped “selfish actions”. This state of
actionlessness-because of state of thoughtlessness-due to the
state of Vasana-lessness-is defined as the state of pure aware-
ness; the Infinite Reality.

This supreme state of peace and perfection is indicated in the

Vedas either as the state of No-Vasanas, or the state of No-ac-
tion. Early students of Vedanta may misunderstand that a “dull
state of impotent actionlessness is the state of realization”. So
Krishna pointedly says “By non-performance of action none
can reach “actionlessness”. By merely giving up action, no one
can ever attain perfection.

Krishna says : “actionlessness” cannot be reached by not un-

dertaking any activity, nor by “giving up the work already
undertaken”. Arjuna is escaping behind the Upanishadic term
“Naishkarmyam” and is trying to give up the battle and escape
from taking up any more responsibility. This is the trecherous
way of all escapists.

Then why should we act and get involved in the meaningless,

painful, sweating problems around us? Why Act at all, if ac-
tionlessness be the highest state of perfection?
V edanta Sandes h

24
ñ
 The Art of Man Making
Krishna explains; Nobody can ever remain even for an instant,
without performing action; all are compelled to act, helplessly
indeed, by the gunas, born of ones own nature. The meaning
of the verse seems to be obvious and clear. But it is only on its
analysis that we uncover a compelling truth lived all along by
everyone of us every hour, all through our lives.

Why should we work? Why serve the society? Why undertake

great endeavours for the glory of the nation? For the ameliora-
tion of human sufferings? Why struggle at all? Let us sit down
against the ugliness of life, against the injustices of life, against
the exigencies of nature. “Sit-in”, “go-slow”, “strike”, “retire”,
“resign”, “lie-in”, “run away”, “desert duty”, “drop out”, - these
constitute our modern world’s thoughtless means of reaching
profitless peace. They think they have revolted against the “es-
tablishment” ....they have done their best, the very best.

Alas! They know not the inescapable law of life, that the Cre-
ator has not made life to be stagnant. “None can ever remain,
even for an instant, without action” ( Na hi kashcht kshanam
api jaatu tishthatyakarmakrit). “Nature will goad him, helpless-
ly indeed, to act” (kaaryate hi avashah karma). “Everyone acts
according to his own nature”.

The quality of actions stemming forth from an individual is or-

dered by the type of Vasanas in him. The Vasanas are of three-
V edanta Sandes h

25
ñ
 The Art of Man Making
main types: Sattwic, Rajasic, and Tamasic. These pure, Active
and Dull types are Gunas, born out of the matter-vestures
(prakriti) in us. Born of Prakriti (prakritirjaihi) are the gunas.

Thus in any situation even though we may choose not to act,

we will be compelled to act, according to our own inherent
Vasanas. The “strike” or “protest”, in whatever form it may ex-
press, cannot remain passive: ultimately it has to express itself
in a tragic aggresiveness. The mode of its expression depends
upon the quality of Vasanas behind us at that time. Life is ever
active and positive . Life is never passive and negative. Dynamic
expression in action is “life”. When all actions have ended, the
organism is “dead”; while living, no organism can ever remain,
even for an instant, without activity (na hi kashchit kshanam
api jaatu tishthati akarmakrit). Work without, expresses the
within in every living organism. All work outside and activities
of thoughts within are ended when the organism is dead. To
escape work is to escape “life” and run into “death”: it is suicidal.

Face life and it’s upheavals around you. Be active and tirelessly
dynamic. Each exertion undertaken is a shooting spark of “life”
from the existence in you. Fearlessly work. With a clear vision,
plan and selflessly execute it. Fear not sweat; hesitate not to
face disappointments. Live life, so long as you are alive. Grow
through work-evolve in work-expand while striving-thus make
your own life rich and sweet. You can! You must!

 Jivanmukta
I nstead of trying to prove this with arguments, I
shall quote a conversation with a Mahatma I met in a lovely re-
gion in the Himalayas. His words born of practical experience
carry greater conviction than Vedic dogmas or logical reasoning.

I: Swamiji, have you seen or heard of Yogis who have been able
to remain in samadhi for long?

Swamiji: In these days hatha yogis and raj yogis are very rare. It
was not so some time back. There were then several yogis of the
kind in the northern regions. One of them I knew very well. He
was a Sadhu. He could sit for five or six hours at a stretch quite
easily without breathing or letting the mind wander.

I: A holy man indeed!

Swamiji: Don’t jump to conclusions before you hear the whole
story. In fact, he was a very unholy sort of man.

I: What do you mean? How could that be?

Swamiji: He could indeed, still his breath and mind at will as a re-
sult of long training; but he never enjoyed the peace of mind, nor
ever possessed the knowledge or even the thought of the Self.
V edanta Sandes h

I: Alas! Is it possible that so great a Yogi should have no inclina-

ñ
28
 Jivanmukta
tion for spiritual life or the necessary competence for it?

Swamiji: How could he have? He never had the spirit of de-

tachment, not even a desire for salvation. He hankered after
wealth and worldly pleasure. He treaded on his yogic feats. Be-
fore wealthy people he would exhibit his skill of sitting still
for hours like a granite statue and get from them money and
certificates as his reward. Men of real learning and detachment
used to feel sorry for his misbehaviour.

All learned people admit that the paramount duty of a sanny-

asi is the uninterrupted practise of spiritual discipline, which
alone leads to liberation.

 Trishanku
I t was in the lineage of Purukutsa that Sat-
yavrata or the well known Trishanku was born. The latter kid-
napped a Commoner bride from her Vivaha-Vedika or Wedding
Platform and his father, King Traiyaaruni-as prompted by Sage
Vasishtha the Guru of the King, banished him for life into his
Kingdom; while living in the outskirts of the Kingdom Sat-
yavrata adopted the ways of a Chandala or the lowest caste of
the Society. Sage Vishwamitra once left away on a long Tapasya
for a period of twelve years and as a long drawn ‘Anavrishti’
(famine) broke up in the Region, Satyavrata provided food to
the Sage’s wife and children. But the latter stole Vasishtha’s
cows in his Yagna Shaala and fed Vishwamitra’s wife and fam-
ily with cow meat and the unsuspecting family ate it especially
due to hunger. Yet, on return from his Tapasya, Vishwamitra
was extremely pleased and felt highly obliged that Satyavrata
supported his family for twelwe long years! But Vasishtha nev-
er excused Satyavrata on three counts: he adopted the ways of
Chandala ; he stole the cows from his Ashram and finally he fed
cow meat to the innocent and gullible family of a fellow Sage.
Thus he cursed Satyavrata as Trishanku on the basis of three
unpardonable sins especially to Brahmana families! He cursed
Satyavata to become a fulfledged Chandala thus transforming
V edanta Sandes h

31

 his body complexion and ways of living. But Vishwamitra es-
poused the cause of Satyavrata; he not only restored the latter’s
original position as a Prince but also sought him to despatch
him in his mortal form to Swarga by the power of his Tapasya.
Devas refused the Prince’s entry to Swarga and the Sage took
it as a challenge and created a duplicate Swarga in the outer
space near the original and thus caused the Prince to hang him
upside down creating Trishanku Swarga of the thrice-sinned
Trishanku!
