Sarvadarshi Chintana - Why we started worrying so much

 What do we learn from Narasimha Avatara? सत्यं विधातुं निज-भृत्य भाषितं व्याप्तिं च भूतेष्वखिलेषु चात्मनः | अदृश्यतात्यद्भुत रूपं उद्वहन् स्तम्भे सभायां न मृगं न मानुषं || - श्रीमद्भागवतं satyam vidhaatum nija bhrutya bhaashitam | vyaaptim ch bhooteshwakhileshu chaatmanaH | adhrushyataatbhuta roopamudhwahan | stambhe sabhaayaa na mrugam na maanusham. || Lord Narasimha took Avatara to keep up trust words of their Bhakts (Pralhada, Java-Vijaya) He proved he dont need to be born or no other jeeva cause needed for his avatara Lord can kill any daemon with just his Nakha(each of his body is as paripoorna has him) Today we are in deep worries as opposed to being confident about our survival and success as its all managed by GOD?  Why we have installed worry in our minds? With lots of invaders attacking us periodically looting our properties & assets Our strong laws does not allow us to crime but crime happens on us easily We cannot marry another religion girl with compromising our rules

Sarvadarshi Insights - Bhagavatha & Ganga comparison

  ग = Historical Papa(Aitihasika),  ं   = Internal Papam(Antarang) गा   = Eternal Papam(Paraloka) Ganga is most popular that we think reduces our papa when chanted even from a 100 yojana distance. But here is some thought to go beyond Ganga and see what Bhagavatha can provide us? How simple it is? Why we have to take our kids so close to Bhagavatha? Please leave any thoughts/inputs in comments. GANGA BHAGAVATHA Ganga flows from Himalayas to down to wash off papa of people who come to her Bhagavatha starts washing off papa of all people who are impacted by Kaliyuga Ganga will remove sins if you take dip Bhagavatha removes sin just by being near to it Ganga removes sins thoroughly for person praying to her Bhagavatha removes sin of person and his ancestors(Kula) Yojanana Shatairapi – as said Ganga can bring person praying from 100 yojana distance to punya phala Bhagavatha is lo

Sarvadarshi Insights - Platforms - community growth - opportunities - go hand in hand

Unless you provide the platforms that are apprporiate to present or future generation, there will be not much growth of the community which directly means no opportunities within that community.   After lots of research on traditional methodologies to understand how to start something new, make it successful, and sustain it for a longer period, Westerns have created great platforms through which they could build things for the present and future generations. If you look at the investment they do is always on something that promises future success. While looking from past and present angles it looks wrong decision and also a waste of effort but that happens only for those who are not ready for the future at all. Where our community is falling backward today? No schools, hostels, PG, hospitals built No platforms for the upbringing of kids No platform built for training someone who wants to get into sanatana dharma No investment in IT services to keep a database of community, communicatio

Sarvadarshi Chintana - Lets tie rope to stomach and chant Damodara

Damodara -  Dam=cord, Udara=stomach, Lord when he was tied with a rope around his waist. God gives the message that one who is fasting and praying to me will stay there for them. Our daily pooja, chintana, and Bhakti all have to start when we are still fasting to get real benefits. Hari kathamrutasara says "damodarana Nene Dina Dinadi" meaning worship Damodara daily. One who has control over his/her tummy that is fed daily will get GOD inside him. Hence it is said 1-time eater is YOGI, the 2-time eater is BHOGI, 3 times eater is ROGI and the 4-time eater is called "Hottukondu Hogi(means lift their body)". Please read below information about Lord Damodara.   Damodar is one of the most wonderful expressions to address Lord Krishna. The literal translation of the term is the one with a rope tied around his belly. There is an interesting episode in the Bhagavata that can illustrate why Krishna got the name Damodhar.   The pranks, mischievous plays and miracles that

Sarvadarshi Chintana - Chetana Paramatmanige Achetana Chintana

One foreign devotee asked Madhwa visitor in Udupi - What you see in temple when you come here? The answer from the person was "I come to see Lord Krishna". Then the person asks another question have you seen Krishna talking, walking, speaking? The person says "No, it is not possible". Then he adjusts himself in just clarifying it or just saying broader meaning like inside everyone Krishna is there etc. In the answer of the person it looked like - we visit Krishna statue(murthi) than really seeing Krishna. That means we see Achetana item(statue) in Chetana Swaroopi Krishna. This reminds us to really understand what is the real meaning of the word Darshana(Sanskrit and many languages)? Is it that you see GOD or GOD see you? Following is an extract of the meaning of the word DARSHANA in English [ref -  What does DARSHANA mean (esamskriti.com) ] The word darshana means the eye, dream, intellect, dharma, attainment, mirror, scripture, six philosophies, colour, direct per
