An auspicious beginning is something which a human minds requirement inorder to pursue something and to stay for a length of time to its completion.This staying power is a grace or blessing.we have to earn this grace , an occasion like navaratri and especially the Vijayadashami day is an opportunity to express our gratitude and invoke the blessings of the sakthi in the form of Saraswati matha, all knowledge and power to protect and bless. May everyone be a recipient of this grace so that their mind gets prepared for the knowledge which makes them see the fullness in oneself.#Eternal#Vedanta#AdvaitaVedanta#VedantaWisdom#SelfKnowledge#AtmaJnanam#BrahmaVidya#JnanaYoga#SpiritualWisdom#SelfInquiry#Moksha#Grace #Saraswati #Blessings#Vijayadashami

The problem of being limited and the desire to seek freedom from this limitations is mumuksha. There fore Moksha ( freedom from samsara) is for oneself only. It cannot be imposed. The self is already free and there fore Knowing the self exactly as it is will be an achievement of the already achieved.#Eternal#Vedanta#AdvaitaVedanta#VedantaWisdom#SelfKnowledge#AtmaJnanam#BrahmaVidya#JnanaYoga#SpiritualWisdom#SelfInquiry#Moksha

Lord Shiva as a teacher of BrahmaVidya is seated under a banyan tree. Most absorbing form of the Lord makes mind abide in the very fullness of the self. The teacher is glorified to make one see the depth of the teaching.#Eternal#Vedanta#AdvaitaVedanta#VedantaWisdom#SelfKnowledge#AtmaJnanam#BrahmaVidya#JnanaYoga#SpiritualWisdom#SelfInquiry#Moksha

The yoga of attitudes, Bhahavan Sri Krishna gave the vision of karmayoga to Arjuna because a prepared mind can get the knowledge and method of preparing the mind requires yoga buddhi to live a life of karmayoga. Bringing an attitudinal change is impossible without understanding,so let use try to see what it is all about.The central idea is beautiful: Karma-yoga is both a way of living and a means of preparing the mind for Self-knowledge. The attitudinal change it requires cannot be sustained by mere instruction; it must arise from understanding. The Yoga of Attitudes — Karma-yogaBhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa unfolded the vision of Karma-yoga to Arjuna because a prepared mind is receptive to Self-knowledge. And preparing the mind requires a change in attitude—a shift in how we understand and respond to life.Karma-yoga is not merely about what we do, but the attitude with which we act. Through *yoga-buddhi*, we learn to act with responsibility, offer our actions to Īśvara, and receive their results with *prasāda-buddhi*.But an attitudinal change cannot be sustained by mere instruction; it must come from understanding. So, let us explore what Karma-yoga really means, how it works, and how we can live it in our everyday lives.**The purpose is not merely to change our actions, but to cultivate a mind that is ready to understand the truth of ourselves.**ॐ तत् सत् 🙏A subtle but important point from the Bhagavad Gītā: Karma-yoga does not itself produce mokṣa; it prepares the mind for the knowledge that removes self-ignorance. #Vedanta#AdvaitaVedanta#VedantaWisdom#SelfKnowledge#AtmaJnanam#BrahmaVidya#JnanaYoga#SpiritualWisdom#SelfInquiry#Moksha# Self acceptance# vision of Bhagavad Gita # Upanishads

when we look into the realities of the world as a whole its existence need to have a reality or substratum on which every thing exists. what keeps changing require a changeless base. Just as a pot, if it is made of clay then clay happens to be the 'satyam' and pot is 'mithya'Actually the individual self is the total and if I can dicover the truth about oneself then that self being my reality, I am free. the limitations of what is not 'I' doestn't hold any reality. This is vedanta which is the only 'pramana' for it. Being a means of knowledge vedanta doesn't contradict any other pramana.#Vedanta#AdvaitaVedanta#VedantaWisdom#SelfKnowledge#AtmaJnanam#BrahmaVidya#JnanaYoga#SpiritualWisdom#SelfInquiry#Moksha# Self acceptance# vosion of Bhagavad Gita # Upanishads

Vedānta is not a philosophy that changes your life; it is a vision that corrects your understanding of yourself.I am not a limited individual trying to complete myself through the world.I am the complete, limitless Awareness in whose presence the individual, the world, and Īśvara are known.In a little more detail:1. What is the problem? — Ignorance (अविद्या)I take myself to be the body–mind–person and therefore experience myself as limited, incomplete and dependent.2. What does Vedānta do? — It gives a means of knowledge (प्रमाण)The Upaniṣads, unfolded by a competent teacher, reveal what cannot be discovered merely by experience:तत्त्वमसि — तत् त्वम् असिYou are That.3. What is discovered? — I am Brahmanअहं ब्रह्मास्मिI am Brahman—the limitless reality.This is not becoming Brahman. I was never anything other than Brahman. The discovery is only the removal of the mistaken identification.4. What about the world? — Mithyā (मिथ्या)The world is not dismissed as nonexistent. It is dependent reality—dependent upon Brahman, just as a wave is dependent upon water.5. What happens to life? — The circumstances need not change. The vision changes.Pleasure and pain, gain and loss, success and failure continue to belong to the changing order. But their capacity to define me is understood differently.So, in one sentence:Vedānta is the knowledge that I am the limitless Self, and that the entire universe of changing names and forms is mithyā, dependent on that Self.Or, even more compactly:“Nothing has to become different; I have to see what is already true.”#Vedanta#AdvaitaVedanta#VedantaWisdom#SelfKnowledge#AtmaJnanam#BrahmaVidya#JnanaYoga#SpiritualWisdom#SelfInquiry#Moksha# Self acceptance# vosion of Bhagavad Gita # Upanishads#Sri Dakshinamurty

Bhagwan Shree Krishna's Birthday

Best wishes on the this day of Onam 2026

Three things are very rare in this world to accomplish. Birth as a human being, there after the maturity to seek the ultimate goal of life the "moksha" the self knowledge and a teacher (Guru) to bless by giving the vision of Vedanta the self knowledge. It doesn't happen always.Blessed are they who got these three things in life. Today being the Pradosha day let there be the blessings of Lord Parameswara for every one and for those who come to listen to this in particular.
