Books Philosophy Metaphysical Philosophy Daily Sat Sangam withSwami Krishnananda. February (from An Introduction to the Philosophy of Yoga) 1 to 6. Post-4. ================================================================================================ 1. The Absolute is Just Here: God is here, and not in the heavens above. The Absolute is just here, under the very nose of ours. The eternity that we are going to experience, the moksha that we are to realise, is not merely an original Archetype that is removed in space. Again the idea of space comes in, and the notion of time persists in our minds. The Goal is not outside in space, and is not to be reached tomorrow as a future of time experience. All this is difficult indeed for the human intellect to understand. One becomes giddy when thinking about it. But, God loves you more than you love Him, and you are bo...

The Narayana Sukta ॐ सहस्रशीर्षं देवं विश्वाक्षं विश्वशम्भुवम् । विश्वै नारायणं देवं अक्षरं परमं पदम् ॥ ōm sahasraśīrṣaṁ devaṁ viśvākśaṁ viśvaśambhuvaṁ, viśvaṁ nārāyaṇaṁ devamakśaraṁ paramaṁ padam. This universe is the Eternal Being (Narayana), the imperishable, the supreme, the goal, multi-headed and multi-eyed (i.e., omnipresent and omniscient), the resplendent, the source of delight for the whole universe. Note:—With this verse commences a famous hymn of the Vedic group, stating the characters of the Absolute in its manifestation as this creation. 2. विश्वतः परमं नित्यं विश्वं नारायणं हरिम् । विश्वमेवेदं पुर...

Swami Krishnananda. ================================================================================================== Slogam- 8 इति श्रीमन्मोक्षगीतासूपनिषत्सु ब्रह्मविद्यायां योगशास्त्रे गुरुशिष्यसंवादे विश्वस्थितियोगो नाम पञ्चमोऽध्यायः ॥५॥ Just as a man does not behold the object which he has seen in his dream when awake, so also the Jivanmukta does not perceive the universe after he attains knowledge of Brahman. There are countless images seen in a dream. So long as the person is dreaming, the objects of the dream appear to be absolutely real. The consciousness of the dreamer is confined within the four walls of the dreaming state, and it cannot reme...

Swami Krishnananda. Post-4. ==================================================================================================== So, what the name of this country was before these people came, and what their culture was called before they entered India – this is a different matter. I am just mentioning to you that the name of this country is not 'India'; it has come to be called so by these accidents of history, and the people in India are not 'Hindus'. Hence, there is no such thing as 'Hindu' culture, or even 'Indian' culture, in general parlance. It was a culture which was associated with a vision of perfection. Even today, people sometimes call it the vision of the sanatana, or the Eternal; and the culture or the law that...

Article Scriptures Srimad Bhagavad Gita The Gospel of the Bhagavadgita - 2. Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================================== When a person is truly friendly with you, he knows how to take your moods. That is a wisdom of life. Krishna was not pleased; nor was he displeased. A doctor is neither pleased nor displeased with the patient. An emotion will not rise in the mind of a physician. Krishna was not distressed at the agonising condition of the mind of Arjuna. He did not weep, cry or beat his breast. He spoke words of wisdom laden with the profundity of the experience of life which, incidentally, opened up the gates for a solution to all conflicts in life. Not merely Arjuna's conflict, but your conflict, my conflict, and anyone's conflict at any time found a solution herein. Al...

Article Scriptures Sri Krishna as Revealed in All Levels of Reality: 1. Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on May 1, 1983) ================================================================================================== Often teachers as well as students of the Bhagavadgita consider the last verse of this gospel as representing in a way the quintessential import of the whole teaching. Yatra yogeśvaraḥ kṛṣṇo yatra pārtho dhanurdharaḥ, tatra śrīr vijayo bhūtir dhruvā nītir matir mama (Gita 18.78). Thus concludes the Bhagavadgita. “Where there is Krishna the Lord of yoga and where there is Arjuna the wielder of the bow, there is prosperity, victory, happiness and firm quality. This is my conviction,” said Sanjay. This statement would mean that a kind perfection in life can be expected where this blend between Krishna and Arjuna is made practicable. We know very well...
