Books Srimad Bhagavad Gita Daily Invocations:  4.The Purusha Sukta Swami Krishnananda. ===================================================================================== 4.The Purusha Sukta: 1. ōm sahasraśīrṣā puruṣaḥ sahasrākṣaḥ sahasrapāt, sa bhūmiṁ viśvato vṛtvā'tyatiṣṭaddaśāgulam. Thousand-headed is the Purusha, thousand-eyed and thousand-legged. Enveloping the earth from all sides, He transcends it by ten fingers' length. Note:—This is the first mantra of the famous Purusha Sukta of the Veda. Here the transcendent totality of all creation is conceived as the Cosmic Person, the Universal Consciousness animating all manifestation. The word 'earth' is to be understood in the sense of all creation. 'Dasangulam' is interpreted as ten fingers' length, in which case it is said to refer to the distance of the heart from t...

January  (from The Realisation of the Absolute) Post-2. ================================================================================================ 22. Truth Transcends Ideas of Omniscience and Omnipotence It is not possible to rest contented that a personal God is the ultimate Reality, however displeasing this may be to those who do not want to dispense with thinking in terms of the categories of the world. The philosopher-aspirant who is possessed of a flaming passion for integrating himself in Existence does not have the dull patience to linger on with the slow process of progressive self-transcendence through the channels of the different degrees of reality. The highest scientific mind always tries to cling to the Whole, and not to even the biggest part,...

Article Scriptures Spiritual Evolution According to the Bhagavadgita - 3.  Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on February 24th, 1973) Post-3. =============================================================================================== We are not happy in spite of our education, notwithstanding that we have risen above the animal level of perception and come to what we call the human level of understanding. It only means that human understanding is not complete understanding. The level of humanity in the process of evolution is not the acme that evolution can reach. Evolution is an unending process, as it were. We do not know where it will reach finally. According to Henri Bergson, a great vitalistic philosopher, evolution is a universal process of things, which has neither a beginning nor an end. How it began, no one knows; where it will end, no one can say. In th...

Sit, if possible, at the same time. If not, if you are a busy person, sit at any other time also when it is convenient, but for a uniform duration. If it is half an hour, let it be half an hour every day. If it is more, whatever the time be, stick to that duration. And tell the mind that now you are going to unite yourself, commune yourself with what is finally meaningful in this world. All meaning and all value, whatever is of any worth and significance in this world, is summed...

Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on October 14, 1984) Post-3. ======================================================================================= We may say that the second instruction is easier than the earlier one, where we have to totally become another thing. The second instruction does not expect that much of sacrifice, and only advises us to do some practice; still, we will find that even the practice is not easy. One session of practice cannot continue for a long time because monotony is resented by the mind. The mind requires diversity, variety, a picturesque presentation of things. A uniform conundrum is never appreciated by the consciousness. We cannot go on enjoying one picture always. We cannot even do japa for a long time because of the same reason, the same difficulty, because ...
