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

If you dont think today, you wont think tomorrow as well The Western Ghat is a boon for us to cover Madhwa Tatwa and also provide rich nature friends Madhwa Kshetra for future generations. This kshetra is been touched by Sri Madhwacharyaru and has now been limited to what our ancestors have constructed. If we don't invest ourselves into the growth of Madhwa kshetras(not just renovating, again and again, existing ones but building new ones) then we can be sure that we lost such nature-friendly heavenly places. Today's generation is fast-moving and is naturally exhausted by the busy life of cities. They kind of look forward to resorts, hill places, and other natural places where they can relax their soul and appreciate GOD's creation(srusthi tatwa) and be back to their refreshed life. As Madhwa we have lots of opportunities for such creations Madhwa gurukula where students study shastra and also regular education in the middle of nature calmness Facilities that will open u
The movies create a long-lasting psychological effect on minds. Today most young crowd behavior is driven out of the impression created by movies, advertisements. This has led young to feel stars are - great people on earth, stars are smart, stars are only happy people, and also role models to follow always. This is a disaster . But, we cannot avoid it. That is why Westerners adopted it faster and they created patriotism and also lots of behavioral changes through movies . We often make fun of movies and deny the effect it creates on people. But, we should accept the change and encourage anyone to make a good movie that is in favor of our culture, subject, and principles. 1990 Bollywood base for Love Jihad In 1990 when movies were funded by underworld Don lots of movies covering love marriage created an impact and the result of that was seen in our community. It impacted very badly on our ladies' mindset and girls started running behind love marriage, thinking that life will be gr

We leave left behind many great inspiring stories of people within Madhwa society as they don't hit social media easily. We ourselves stop spreading good in the feeling of "what's great in it?" But, Pt. Sumedhachar Kallapur and their gurus Pt. Pavamanachar & Pt. Anandachar (maybe a few more gurus) shishya-guru have made a record which was witnessed by 2000+ audience physically present and 10000+ audience virtually present in live streaming. While all gurus mentioned here work till evening in Shastra adhyayana, adhyapana and doing Madhwa vrtutti and also have a family to take care. But still, they engaged with curious Pt. Sumedhachar Kallapur to impart and bless knowledge of Samagra Bhagavata till night 2AM d
It is important to know what Kaam-Chor people look like(people who don't perform) Many times though you form a large group things do not take shape into execution. Even though lots of discussions, many insights, thoughts come together but work never starts which creates intended impacts. Wondering why this happens? Following are some characteristics of people who defeat the purpose of the group because of which execution never happens: People who gather for showing their strengths rather trying to solve problems People who gather to gain some benefit personally out of the situation(name, fame at least) They behave like decision-makers by just pointing some thoughts around the group Keep discussions on right-wrong rather than choosing the right things to do People who without any selection by group act like group heads, owners, authorities(if not they will tell they know internally high-end decision-makers, saints, pandits, etc) People who just gather to add more and more problem
If you join an organization, the organization puts in writing how you should work, what his/her work ethic and how you need to take care of diversity, and many more things. These are drafted, reviewed, and approved by the highest authority in the organization and keep getting revised & approved by the again highest authority if time to time. We appreciate and accept organization work ethics put by & approved by highest authority though we are not really sold to them or we are under their control as human being. If this is true, then who has written the Work ethics for the universe as an organization? Who is the supreme who has written it? If we get answers to these 2 questions we can even tell who is supreme GOD and also what is the Work Ethics of the universe. Not only that you can also tell who cares the most about "the universal belonging". By this time you might have got an answer but here is the truth: None other than Lord Krishna/Vishnu/Narayana is supreme GO
The union is most beneficial to handle many basic requirements of life We see many unions today around us. Like labor union, Auto union, farmers, etc we don't find any union that exists for pandits, cooks, Archakas of Madhwas. The union is not required to take up some positions, it is not required to keep doing some strikes. But rather following are best benefits of the union. We should move towards making such union at early to protect ourselves and be helpful to each other in situations like Covid-19. Benefits of Union: Ensure good health benefits Take government-related work like BPL cards, insurance making, license, and many other things together with ease of doing Build awareness of finance Take up some work towards social welfare Build self-help groups to manage crisis Build education plans together Build plans to purchase, sell lands within the society Thus, we can build a good social connection to stand with each other in tough times. Today, while we talk to Crowd Funding
Many rural places had a high-level heritage of having great sanatana dharma followed. The inspiration of Madhwas and Brahmin was so high that everyone in the village had borrowed lots of great stuff. Like doing namaskara to elders, daily visits to the temple, discussion of adhyatmik topics, even to the extent of providing useful quotes from Bhagavatha, Ramayana, and Mahabharatha. The women who are a strong foundation for generation after generation were highly protecting the culture and its knowledge transfer to next generations. While men are thought to be supreme of family, women were always supreme in building cultural values into kids. Thus both balanced generations very well. Today, if we turn back to any rural, tier 2, or 3 cities all you find is modern western adopting lifestyles. People are thinking they are growing and all they can find growth reference is through movies, serials, corrupt leaders, unethical stars(sports or movie). The modern world making our dharma weak and

Punyapradayaka Punyadhama - Bangalore Bangalore has become a place of Sadhana & Sadhakaru.

Nama-Mudra Dharane & effects Updaveetam shikhabandham Urdwapundram vina krutam | apavitrakrutam karma viprasa viphalam bhavet || While doing any karma whether it's small or big one should tie the Shikha, should have applied pavitra Urdhwapundra. Additionally, it is good if one is wearing pavitra as well. Else the karma would become fruitless. We never root cause our failures. We try to put blame on things that are visible and move on doing another mistake. While Dharma has given lots of guidelines to make every effort of us to gain benefits. Science presents only things that can be immediately proved. Even Medical investigations never go beyond a few days back to health status. They never investigate what you were eating for many days. What type of medicines you have already taken. Rather they just find what's wrong at that point and give additional medicines. But, we all know this is how non-ayurvedic medical science works. But, Ayurveda always works in finding the root
Pralhad Vidyarthi Nilaya is one of the great well visioned Gurukul. This gives really a great study opportunity to your kids. While we want our kids and next generation to excel in both Laukika and with Sanatana background it is an important step in life to choose SCHOOL correctly. There are lots of bad inspirations like GREED, cribbing for everything, and anything from schools that just are doing great through money backup and also advertisements. Remember kids who study in villages, who don't have even basic things to lead student life are the toppers today. While kids whose parents have spent lakhs together on tuition, books, dress, ( some schools get donations in the name of non-Indian festivals as well ). Pralhad Vidyarthi Nilaya has given lots of scholars who are leading peaceful and intellectual life with Sanatana basics. They also have stretched out to help society as well to make more difference through scholarship schemes etc. Please make use of such opportunities.
Krishnavatara Message through Pootana Role Krishna - The one who 'KARSHANI' of all sins and all burdens of his bhaktas. He pulls out our sins and blesses us. Till now in this worst period of Kaliyuga still if kids born on Shravana-Krishna Astami day, parents keep Krishna as their kids name. No one has given the name 'Krishna' to lord. He is Krishna always. He knew that Kamsa will be an evil for the world and hence he himself takes Avatara in Devaki-vasudeva. He tells them about himself before he appears as kid infront of them. Helps Vasudeva to travel out of the prision and reach to Gokul.. Hence, Krishna was not just a name given to baby rather its Sarvottama who already known as Krishna. In Krishnavatara we all know about Putani but we dont try to understand the background behind this character. Putanaa is a character who comes as 'Dharma poshak' while being Adharmi. Even she appeared as Dharmi/Sundari lord kills her. This passes a really a strongest mess

vijñānasampatsukhadāṁ sanātanīṁ vicitravāgbhūtikarīṁ manōharām | anantasaṁmōda-sukhapradāyinīṁ namāmyahaṁ bhūtikarīṁ haripriyām || Laxmi is called 'Vijnanasampadsukhada'. Laxmi will provide us Tatwa Jnanas of Vedas to her devotees. Food-Cloths-wealth is also important for anyone to lead life and engage in Satkarma and Sadachar. Laxmi not only provides these basics but also makes us enjoy them(Bhoga shakti). If someone is rich and does not have proper food(eating in hurry, eating on the go, eating half-half all time, not able to have food due to diseases), not having proper dress(torn dresses[by passion or whatever reason], not able to get time to wear a good dress) it means Laxmi has not provided Bhoga shakti to them. This also means she has not blessed even people who look rich or wealthy. So thus Vijnana and Sampattu adhipathi are Sri Laxmi and she is called 'Vijnanasampadsukhada'. People who run in the opposite direction of Jnana(real knowledge of GOD) are called Ajn
Credit: Sri Narahari Sumadhwa( A great writer for the benefit of others ) What was the significance of Tila during the Uttarayana period? Makara Sankranti Day: The ritual of Shaktila should be observed. That is six sesame-related works. Six Tila(Sesame) rituals are to be performed during this period. A) Tila bath, B) Tila Deepa, E) Applying to the body during bath (Tila Lepana), F) Tila homa, G) Tila Bhakshana ( Eating sesame ) Tila or sesame oil should be applied during bathing. A donation made during the Uttarayana period is worth millions more than a normal day. The charity must be donated. There is no need to donate, though. Govans are to be worshiped especially today. Cows especially bathed in turmeric, make horns and decorate the entire govi and worship it. The Scientific Reason for Acceptance of Sesame During Dhanurmasa, we serve/eat the Huggi(Green Dal + Rice mixed dish) with the intention of alleviating the body's problems. Because the winter season is bad in Dhanurmasa.
