Hari om!
Vedanta Mission is now 20 years old. We started in a small way in Mumbai,and now have our programs in many parts of the country as well as somecountries abroad. It has been a very satisfying journey to share the amazingknowledge of Vedanta with so many sincere aspirants. That which makes mereally happy is not really the numericals involved, but the uncompromisingfocus of all our teachers towards Vedanta. We know that this is is highestknowledge, and very less people are aware of it, and still lesser people areinspired to get this knowledge. Even those who do so sincerely, falter many atimes at the altar of their own ego. No wonder the Upanishads declare thatSelf-Knowledge is not for the weak ones. Courage to even sideline one's smallindividuality and its small world for awakening to a nobler, magnanimous andreal identity is indeed not everyones piece of cake. It many a times appears tobe a gamble wherein we prefer the proverbial bird in hand rather than thepossibility of two in the bush, wherein most often many succumb. However, itis only the courageous ones who can negate the imaginary snake and realizethe truth of its substratum. Many if our devotees dare to tread this path of self-knowledge, and some of our dear ones could not continue, yet Vedanta Missioncontinues uncompromisingly to sing the song of Rishis.
A Sat-guru is one who dares to talk about the truth, that is why even in ourdaily prayers we say that 'May the learned ones dare to speak the truth, howevermuch bitter it is'. While we do want to take the message of Vedanta to theworld, we do compassionately try to feel the pains & sorrows of people, yet wenever try to just appease their ego's, which just lives in darkness and all itsother baseless imaginations. Rather, we lovingly try our best to help themrealize the fact that their individuality is an imaginary entity, and their truth issomthing entirely different. Ignorance of that truth alone brings about the ego,which we then stick on as our identity, and then starts the endless journey ofseeking, insecurity, dependence and inevitable grief & sorrow. Irrespective ofthe fact whether someone succeeds in the world or not, depenence bringssorrow and grief alone. The message of Vedanta is that there is 'one' infinitetruth and basically we all are that alone. I also feel like singing 'Why this KolaveriDi...' :). Why this unnecessary sufferings all over. Awake, Arise, Approach aGuru and dedicate yourself for the realization of this truth.
May Vedanta Mission become instrumental to take this amazing & redeemingmessage of Vedanta to many many more aspirants - uncompromisingly. I amhappy Vedanta Mission, Mumbai has decided to commemorate this occasionto celebrate in a grand way. My Blessings & Best Wishes to all such blessedsouls.
Love & om,

Atma Bodha - Shloka 38
Vivikta desh aaseeno:For steadiness in contemplation certain
prerequistes are essential. In Gita chapter six
Bhagvan Krishna speaks of the physical & mental
preparation one needs to do before sitting for medi-
tation. A basic discipline and balance is required at
all levels of eating, sleeping, posture, ambience etc.
Here the Acharya first speaks of a solitary environ-
ment.
Practise of Contemplation & steadfastness
in knowledge is brought about in two ways. One is
by being amidst the various activities of the world
and second is single-pointed contemplation in the
seat of meditation. Retaining awareness in day to
day situations is strengthened by constant and seri-
ous contemplation by meditation in solitude. But it
is also significant to keep in mind that a spiritual
Vedanta Sandesh - Jan 2012
Solitude facilitates Assimilation
aspirant can be focused in mediation only when he
has been a sincere and dedicated during sharavan
and manan. Only such a person who has learnt the
knowledge of vedanta at the feet of a Master and
has clarified his doubts by manan will also qualify to
be with himself in solitude. For such a person is
advised to be seated in a solitary place where the
meditator drops all thoughts by detachment with the
external world and its experiences and revels in the
akhandakar vritti of Aham Brahmasmi.
Viraago vijitendriya
The Acharya further goes on to state another
two prime requisites for a person who wishes to glide
in samadhi. These are Viraago and Vijitendriya.
Viraago: means bereft of any kind of passion of
this loka and parloka (this world and the celestial
In the previous sloka it was explained that one must incessantly practise meditation, without any
distraction, on the various pointers to awaken into the akhandakar vritti of aham brahmasmi. This destroys
the disease caused by ignorance and illusion just as medicine cures illness.
In this manner having discussed about savikalpa samadhi now the Acharya describes the nature of
nirvikalpa samadhi by first preparing the Self physically and mentally. Physically by posture and the like
and at the mental level by having purified the mind, and by having gone through the process of learning by
shravan, manan and nididhyasan. The Acharya clearly explains the solitary ambience needed, the fo-
cused posture of a sincere aspirant and the mental poise of a person who has freed himself of personal
likes and dislikes and a person who is a Master of his sense organs.
Vivikta desh aaseeno viraago vijitendriyahBhavayedekamatmanam tamanantamananyadheehi.
Viviktadeshe: in a solitary place; aaseeno: seated; viraago: bereft of passions; vijitendriyah:with the senses controlled; bhavayet: should contemplate upon; ekam atmanam: the one
atmanam; tam: that; anantam: infinite; ananyadheehi: with a mind undevoted to anything else;
Seated in a solitary place, bereft of passions and with the senses controlled, one should
contemplate upon that one atman infinite, without thinking of anything else.

worlds). Dispassion is not physically cutting off from
the world or any suppression, but it is an outcome
of the discrimination that has been done between
the Real & Unreal, the permanent and the imper-
manent. When the imposition of the sense of reality
drops by genuine knowledge then dispassion is a
natural outcome of it. The scriptures say that so in-
tense should be the dispassion as one has towards
the droppings of a crow on one’s self. Dispassion
on one hand is detachment towards all worldly plea-
sures on the other hand it also implies intense pas-
sion for Ishwara and the goal of moksha.
Vijitendriya:
One who has a control over his senses and
withdraws himself from all activities. Controlling of
the senses is a very interesting term. Commonly it
is understood like a strict teacher trying to control a
chaotic classroom of children with fear and punish-
ment. But our scriptures reveal a very refreshing
implication of being a controller of the senses. It
implies being such a Msater of the senses that one
has the power and freedom to indulge in sensory
activities and one also has the freedom to withdraw
all the sense organs from their respective objects
as required. It is again not a story of suppression
and struggle to forcefully stop all the senses from
experiencing the outside world. But it is all about
understand the reality of the objective world and
establishing right relationship with it. God has cre-
ated a very beautiful world. There is no harm in ex-
periencing all the beautiful things and nature but
one needs to have the awareness that these are
not real and permanent. All our money, car, house,
material things, relatonships are only means to liv-
ing life, they are not the goal and will not bring about
total contentment which we are seeking. Content-
ment lies within us as our very own nature and can-
not be attained by an experience in the outside world.
Once this awareness is brought about then a per-
son can engage and withdraw one’s senses like a
tortoise as explained in the Gita who unfolds his arms
and legs when wishes solitude, he just withdraws
them.
Bhavayed ekam atmanam:
Seated in the seat of meditation in solitude,
having withdrawn all the senses from their respective
stimuli, he should have single pointed attention on
the ‘One’ without a second, as the nature of the Self.
There is only one reality, plurality does not truly exist.
All the differences we see in name and forms is a
creation of Maya and the sense of discrimination that
a jiva has is a product of ignorance. It is only when
we do not have a vision of the One reality as a sub-
stratum of all that we see dvaita in the world. We
think ourselves to be different from others, and thus
all conflicts of good and bad, likes and dislikes, black
and white, high and low come into existence. All the
forms are made from the same panchamahbhutas
The surface color may be different but ultimately we
are all made of the same raw material and the sub-
stratum of all is one. The mud pot is not different from
the mud toy nor from the mud house, because ulti-
mately the mud is one alone. Vedanta thunders one
truth alone, ‘Brahma satyam jagat mithya, jivo brahma
eva na aparah.’ Brahma alone is real; the world of
experiences is an illusion.
Tamanantam ananyadheehi:The Acharya says meditate on that Reality with
a single pointed conviction, without any other worldly
distraction. Meditate on Parmatma who is infinite.
One who is beginingless and eternal. Another word
used here is ‘ananya’ Ananaya reflects two beautiful
meanings, one is to have a conviction that this alone
is the only goal of my life and second that it is only
the One Supreme reality which is the truth of every-
thing living and non-living. There exists nothing else
other than Brahman and that Brahman I am.

Wishing all our Readers a very happy New Year.

Vedanta Sandesh - Jan 2012
The little girl lived in a small, very simple, poor house on a hill and as she
grew she would play in the small garden and as she grew she was able to
see over the garden fence and across the valley to a wonderful house high
on the hill – and this house had golden windows, so golden and shining that
the little girl would dream of how magic it would be to grow up and live in a
house with golden windows instead of an ordinary house like hers.
And although she loved her parents and her family, she yearned to live in
such a golden house and dreamed all day about how wonderful and excit-
ing it must feel to live there.
When she got to an age where she gained enough skill and sensibility to go
outside her garden fence, she asked her mother is she could go for a bike
ride outside the gate and down the lane. After pleading with her, her mother
finally allowed her to go, insisting that she kept close to the house and
didn’t wander too far. The day was beautiful and the little girl knew exactly
where she was heading! Down the lane and across the valley, she rode her
bike until she got to the gate of the golden house across on the other hill.
As she dismounted her bike and lent it against the gate post, she focused
on the path that lead to the house and then on the house itself…and was so
disappointed as she realized all the windows were plain and rather dirty,
reflecting nothing other than the sad neglect of the house that stood der-
elict.
So sad she didn’t go any further and turned, heart broken as she remounted
her bike … As she glanced up she saw a sight to amaze her…there across
the way on her side of the valley was a little house and its windows glis-
tened golden …as the sun shone on her little home.
She realized that she had been living in her golden house and all the love
and care she found there was what made her home the ‘golden house’.
Everything she dreamed was right there in front of her nose!

Hari om S.....,
You are indeed blessed to have regular satsangs and also do sant-
sewa. It was nice to know that you got an opportunity in Hongkong to
get further guidance of Yoga practices.
Yoga word is very interesting. Initially it implies ‘to join’, and so we need
to bring about the necessary ambiance & compatibility at all levels of
our personality for this so called union. However, there is one problem
with Yoga, and that is that Yoga not only pre-supposes duality, but also
strengthens the notion in us that God is apart from us. When he is
apart, then only we need to join. The notion that God is apart from us,
is the very cause of samsar, so we need to be very careful, and assure
that all Yoga practices always lead and culminate into Brahma Vidya. It
is interesting to see that every chapter of Gita ends with this statement
that ‘Brahmavidyayam Yogashastre...’ So the great Acharyas made it a
point to keep us conscious of this fundamental fact, then alone Yoga
can bless.
My Gita Gyana Yagna at Mumbai is from 19th to 26th Dec, and the
Camp at Indore from 21st to 25th Jan. I am sure Lalaji will send you the
details.
Love & om to both of you.

Knowledge is all
about being aware
of the truth of what
is, while Yoga and
Bhakti aim to
change the mind for
the better, so
technically they fall
in the category of
karma, working to
change something.
For knowledge even
a sankalpa to
change anything is
an impediment,
because then our
priorities change
from knowing what
is to working for
what should be.

Vedanta Sandesh - Jan 2012
All of us go through ups and downs in life. Some situations bring us great joy and
some situations bring about great pain. Commonly we all understand that ‘sukha’
(happinness) and dukha(sorrow) are two sides of the coin of life. Apart from these two
there is another term called ‘Grief’. Although the word grief too can be commonly
misunderstood as sorrow or dejection but grief is a far more intense emotion than
sorrow. On one hand Sukha is associated with conducive situations and Dukha or sorrow
is an emotion which we experience whenever we face inconducive situations. It is a
pain that not only reflects hurt but also reflects a sensitivity towards life and its
experiences. Grief on the other hand reflects an emotional state which is highly intense,
to the extent that a person loses his balance of mind and the symptoms of which can be
seen on the physical level too. Arjuna is a classic case of a person overpowered by grief
leading to indecisiveness, anxiety, nervousness, and various symptoms at the physical
level like sweating, shivering, etc. Grief is a consequence of misapprehension. Whenever
a person is ignorant of the truth of life and then has misapprehensions a person is
bound to be shattered by grief. But interestingly grief can become a blessing to. As we
see in the case of Arjuna. Arjuna was highly grief-stricken. He goes on to say to Bhagwan
Sri Krishna that he sees nothing on this earth and the other worlds, not even the attainment
of the heavens and becoming the lord of the earth could relieve him of his grief. It is only
when he surrenders at the Feet of Lord Krishna with humility to understand the secrets
of handling such conflicts of rght and wrong that the situation of grief becomes the great
blessing of his life. A blessing which not only not opens the doors of freedom for Arjuna
but also gave us all the Gita, the divine song of the Lord which has been the Manual of
Right decison making for all mankind. What are the intricacies of grief? How does it
become a blessing? Let us see:
Grief makes one introspect:
Whenever a person goes through a situation of conflict, a situation of
indecisiveness, a situation of intense emotional pain one feels compelled to think about
life, about relationships, about experiences, about the reality of the world. We all know
and experience that whenever situations are very conducive and goody goody one
tends to go into a relaxing mode, a mode of enjoyment, and becomes complacent at the
level of thinking. But whenever we go through a challenging situation which becomes a
question of life and death we can either open the doors of knowledge for ourselves or
spell doom by total hopelessness and dejection. On a positive note, In challenging
situations one is compelled to think. It is at such times when we become the best of
philosophers and analysts. This is the time when the individual starts looking within
himself, trying to understand his own mind and also analyses the world outside. Right
understanding of anything in the world alone brings about the joy of liberation. There is
no alternative to knowledge. Hence tough situations are truly a blessing in disguise.
They may shake us to the core but at the end of the day one comes out a more stronger
and intelligent person.
Page # 9
When does Grief become a Yoga:
As said although each one of us goes through the highs and lows of life but tough times
are not always a blessing for everyone. Only those people are blessed who have some
higher to look up to, some one who believes in the existence of a cosmic power who is
the creator and sustainer of all, one ho is all pervading, knowledgeable and compassionate.
Challenges are an eye opener for those who have faith in Learned Masters and who
have the courage to break the shackles of their ego and surrender at the feet of such
Masters. If one is humble enough to accept his ignorance and expresses his desire to
learn and at the same time is also blessed by a right philosopher and guide, than the
grief bound situation can become a great blessing. Humility and acceptance of one’s
ignorance can bring about great sensitivity and full availability to learn and grasp the
subtle truths of life. This was the case with Arjuna. Arjuna was faced with a tough situation
of conflict between righteousness and unrighteousness. Shaken up the conflict he seeks
guidance at the Feet of Lord Krishna. This surrender at the feet of a Master makes this
grief stricken situation a blessing for Arjuna and hence the first chapter of the Gita is
known as ‘Arjuna Vishad Yoga.’ or the ‘Yoga of Grief.’
Inspired by this great warrior and his situations we all too can be blessed by grief
in disguise. The scriptures reveal that grief is the baby of ignorance and misapprehension
alone. Like Arjuna we too are in the midst of the battlefield of life, where conflicting
situations, weakness of the mind, indecisiveness, ignorance are all sorrounding us like
the enemies in the attlefield. If one has to face these situations like a true warrior and
come out victorious too then like Arjuna we need to make SRi Krshna our charioteer. We
need to surrender and hold the compassionate hands of Learned Masters who can
guide us with their knowledge.
IF
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master,
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling
Vedanta Sandesh - Jan 2012
A woman was waiting at an airport one night,with several long hours before her flight.
She hunted for a book in the airport shops,bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.
She was engrossed in her book but happened to see,that the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be. . .
grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between,which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene.
So she munched the cookies and watched the clock,as the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock.
She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by,thinking, “If I wasn’t so nice, I would blacken his eye.”
With each cookie she took, he took one too,when only one was left, she wondered what he would do.
With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh,he took the last cookie and broke it in half.
He offered her half, as he ate the other,she snatched it from him and thought… oooh, brother.
This guy has some nerve and he’s also rude,why he didn’t even show any gratitude!
She had never known when she had been so galled,and sighed with relief when her flight was called.
She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate,refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate.
She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat,then she sought her book, which was almost complete.
As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise,there was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes.
If mine are here, she moaned in despair, the others were his, and he tried toshare. Too late to apologize, she realized with grief, that she was the rude
one, the ingrate, the thief.

Once upon
a time ...
Stories bySages Rishi Yagnavalkya & Maitreyi
from Brihadaranyak Upanishad
The great seer Yajnavalkya had two wives, Maitreyi and Katyayani. Of them Maitreyi
was a real seeker after truth. She was a brahmavadini, one who discusses the
Brahman (the Supreme Spirit), and meditates upon it. Katyayani was, like all other
ordinary women, attached to worldly things and busy with household affairs.
After leading a householder’s life for years, the Rishi Yajnavalkya thought of chang-
ing the mode of his life and of taking to Sannyasa or the fourth stage in life which is
one of complete and final renunciation of the world.
He therefore called Maitreyi to his side one day and said to her, “I am thinking of
renouncing the world. I want to be a sannyasi, I wish to detach myself completely
from all affairs. I shall leave this home and go to some forest resort. I think it desir-
able to partition this property between you two before I depart.
Spiritual minded Maitreyi said, “Dear one, you are talking of property and its parti-
tion. But what would it avail me even if the whole world full of wealth were mine
own? Would it make me immortal and take me beyond all sorrow and suffering?”
The sage replied. “No dear, not at all. Your life would be as comfortable as material
means and wealth can make it. There is no hope of immortality through wealth.”
Maitreyi then said, “What then have I to do with things that do not give me what I
really want? I want to be immortal. I want that which would give me ‘life eternal’.
Therefore I would urge you to teach me that spiritual knowledge which I believe you
possess, rather than talk to me about things material. I hanker after that knowledge
and I spurn everything else as dirt.”
The Rishi felt elated at this spiritual hunger of his dear wife. He took her by his side
and endearingly said to her, “You are so dear to me, Maitreyi. You have asked me
something that is nearest to my heart. I shall teach you as much as I know of it.
Listen to me attentively and meditate constantly upon it.”
The knowledge of the Atman includes the knowledge of all other things. It super-
sedes all other knowledge. This Atman is the first and the last of things. All this that
is visible and invisible is the Atman. When that Atman is known, all else is known.
“When a big drum is being beaten, we cannot catch hold of the waves of sound that
vibrate from it. But certainly when we hold and possess the drum itself, we control
the sound as well. So too, when the Veena or the stringed musical instrument is
being played upon, the numerous tunes that emerge from it are intangible and
cannot be caught hold of. But certainly when we get hold of the instrument itself we
can control the tunes and play upon it at will. So too can we know the essence of
the multifarious world in all its wild variety only when we know the Atman, the inner
soul of things that pervades all things.
