Ishan:The quote may be applicable to Sankara's system which says the world is real and unreal at the same time.
Thats the definition of Advaita I am referring to. The simplest meaning of Advaita is - that there is no dwaita or duality. And hence, everything, real and unreal, is ONE being. Cinejeevi: But since 6 plus years or so it's been organized rather "dutifulness" and can see a lot of change in myself and many experiences...
Ela? What motivated you annai? India First. |

Gatti_gunde:
slokas kaadu manthras...they are different Musicfan:Even then we are not same on the body level, we are same at conscious level
Hmmm...as per vivekananda we are the same even at the body level...maya makes us think we are different...so I actually dont think this world is real at any point...its slightly different from sankara's system as I said. Ya it could be its just how we arrange the words. |

Ishan:But advaita's stand is that at any level there is only one being...rest is Maya..
Yes adi shankara says everything is unreal in the sense its a reflection of consciousness . Everything is not real as its reflection, but its true because it exists we see all the objects. Even then we are not same on the body level, we are same at conscious level, which is the deep level. thats why it is advaita ani antunnadi. Given Eckhart Tolle's influence on Indian scriptures, feeling its said in the same sense. Wordings might be different for us to interpret. Mr Majnu Audio Review |

Musicfan:why not
The quote says "at the deepest level of being, you are one with all that is". But advaita's stand is that at any level there is only one being...rest is Maya...just an appearance. So there is never "all that is"...it should be written as "all that appears" or something like that. The difference is subtle but profound. But I am more of vivekananda's advaitha believer. The quote may be applicable to Sankara's system which says the world is real and unreal at the same time. |

why not, at consciousness level everything is one and same, thats what advaita says. Supreme self is nothing but infinite consciousness which is all pervading and everything is one and same. but at body level we all are different, nothing but advaita philosophy. Mr Majnu Audio Review |

Anand_n:more like things that you feel validated/ directed your spiritual path ...
I don't think I am qualified.. However I was a staunch follower of Sanatana Dharma from the beginning doing my nitya karmas but not very focussed. Rather doing those as "tantu" instead of "duty minded". But since 6 plus years or so it's been organized rather "dutifulness" and can see a lot of change in myself and many experiences... nothing changed in Social life part but trying to be detached from "responsibility mode" and getting into "Duty mode". Most importantly balanced mind for any major events though some initial shocks Anything I said earlier is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 1 day |

Nisarga:how is mantra selected in the first place...any other tool would have worked as well ....right...
Mind is nothing but constant flow of thoughts. Not sure when this started that Mantra can counter the mind, once its identified that it can counter Mind well than other tools and also might be another reason that it is applicable to any kind of person, it might have become a tool that is accepted by wider audience. Compare meditation to mantra,, Meditation, you dont have any other aid other than forcing your mind to focus on something, however Mantra is less logical, less work to brain, just keep chanting the mind someday gets used to it even in sublimation mode, mind knows to think about mantra. Anyways, we do agree that Mantra is not the only tool. so people can choose whatever they want , end of the day, its all how mind is managed. Mr Majnu Audio Review |

Our learning process is constant evolving, what we understand today, will appear differently over a period of time. What I read Ramayana or Mahabharatam in my childhood is now totally different as the way we see things are different now. Once we shut down learning process with closing the hearing channel, then there is nothing to learn. Open thoughts are always indication of progress. Mr Majnu Audio Review |

Nisarga:in DB there is no discussion at all.. it is not possible also.. we just try to reinforce our position by trying to find people who agree with us or appreciate our position ....and dismiss and contempt other views .... there is no discussion possible on foregone conclusion.. most of the positions here are already decided even before the discussion..
i 100% agree to this btw.. it is this that i am refuting..
Nisarga:it need not be mantra.. any attentive action can do the same.action is the key...there is nothing inherently in mantra...
it is like.. concept of sadguna brahman, nirguna brahman.. most cases one leads to another.. cos its mostly the mind tends to require an object to concentrate and hold ur thoughts on.. so is the sadguna brahman concept necessary ? does it hold any importance/magic at all ? I would say yes,yes. You say No, No - cos u kind of taking a "Karma Yogi" sort of path.. brahma satyam jagan-mithyä jivo brahmaiva näparah |

its good if it really happens... but how many people you think change their views reading something in the matters of their core beliefs... may be people change their views in matters like their diet as it may directly effect their health... we are people bashing science and medicine on hand fearing the medical reports on the other hand here .. |

Musicfan:ts very difficult to have focus by other means, True it might be blind belief, but given how the mind works, sometimes, this belief will calms down the mind and work towards the mantra. Else it does all its work to try to avoid it. Other means are extremely difficult and many times mind can overcome those means and end up futile. The more you play with mind, the more you understand its power. how much practice you do, how much sadhana you do, how much knowledge you have, yet mind does its play, only then we realize how mind controls us, instead of we controlling it. Mr Majnu Audio Review
unless you already have some predisposition-ed crutch which we try to latch onto.. it should not matter which tool you use to divert the mind... as I said already.... most people take to mantra because it is already there in the culture... as long as there is no 2nd thought to conflict with the 1st thought .. no single thought bothers  |

Anand_n:are you saying all devout people in the dB have the requisite control on their reactions
the arguement earlier was that - "any activity, when done repeatedly leads to xyz, thought process, bla bla .. and there is nothing special in Mantra" i am correcting that.. there are all kinds of people doing Db-ing ( religiously as in with lots of enthu and not being religious devout ) and none of that matters anyway..
Anand_n:ontinuous focused activity can put you in that state - can personally vouch for that - for me it�s punting - for others it could be running etc
yes, continous act can lead you in that state - "IF you are putting ur mind into good use" and Mantras acheive exactly that.. hence to my understanding there is something in the Mantra.. brahma satyam jagan-mithyä jivo brahmaiva näparah |

Nisarga:most people whoever do these chanting do it out of some blind belief rather than as a rational choice to divert the mind wandering in past/future... all this hindsight analysis could be to rationalise it..
true.. cos the world is bound by excess of "instant gratification" if you do X => you get Y like an eternal carrot.. so people are hardwired to believe all that they do is in return for smthing.. but for the true seeker, its the journey thats important.. and mantras keep you engaged throughout the journey..set ur mind on something.. brahma satyam jagan-mithyä jivo brahmaiva näparah |

Agree with the first part ! Many tools to get to that point ..

Musicfan:Mind as per nature always makes us to be either in past or future, creating either sympathy or guilt for past deeds or fear for future, and most of them say 90% are repetitive. Just analyze your mind for a day, you will understand that. So the best solution is to constantly contemplating on a mantra, name or form, which will make mind to think about "now". There by mind slowly gets into our control than we getting into its control.

True to some extent, but he tells the same concepts to westerners so that they can understand and interpret better, but the bottom line is same.

He like it so much that he is in constant touch with me to check where I am. First question he asks me during communication is "How Maya is treating you, how you are treating it"
Haha, I guess a typical advaitin discussion would definitely incorporate 'maya' in every sentence. Was it Sarvapriyananda by any chance? He is a great guy. Anyone wanting to know more about advaita must watch his youtube videos. He is an excellent orator and explains advaitha beautifully. He frequently visits US as well. |

Musicfan: You know what, its very surprising that he matches what Adi Shankara told. I have heard the audio of "Power of Now". In Summary two critical things he says, Live in the presence and accept the situation.. This is very simple as he says, but this is exactly our scriptures say. He westernized the concept and says it. He takes reference of Vivekananda, Budha, Gita, Ramana and other Indian references
He spent quite a bit of time in India. He read, contemplated and interpreted his knowledge in his own way and helping many people. I personally dont see too many similarities between his teachings and advaita, but his constant emphasis on 'present' completely diminishes the importance given by our mind to past and future. This is more similar to Gita where Krishna says what was done done, what future holds for you is not in your full control, so just focus on the present and leave everything to me. As you said in that post, most of our worries are about either the past or the future. This creates stress leading to all kinds of problems. Gita, Eckhart or Japa - the goal is the same I guess at practical level. |

Anand_n:! Never felt the need to look beyond ..
Meeru milestone gurinchi adigaru kadaa, this is the real milestone. The quest will create restless in mind, some times depression, frustation, when all these stop and mind stops wandering, that is the biggest milestone in seeking.
Anand_n: interpret and understand experiences
Yes, we are in the same page here, I too said this in one of my earlier post. Connecting dots and understanding the experiences is itself a big deal. This shows how we are progressing, again like the checks.

Tilak:discourage anyone who wants to start small with self-initiation
Discourage pakkana pettandi, I will always recommend and tell the importance of Guru, not just for Mantra, but in day to day life. If you have seen any of my posts, or discussion, I have given the utmost importance to Guru. People think Guru has to be in Form, I never had any Guru in Form, but I feel we have to be really blessed to find a Guru in form. Most of the interactions happen formless. the carrier might be a form, but the happening reason will be due to formless Guru.

Quite bit of great information in this thread. Been following for last few days.. 8th or 9th lo vunnapudu there was a teacher who thought us about meditation.. several of these posts remind me of what he used to say.. the use of mantras.. the repetition of a chant to attain deep state of meditation..I also remember he told each one of us our chant secretively and told to keep it ourself.. chala kalam gurthundedi.. I have been struggling to remember for past 3 days gurthu ravataledhu.. it was a small sentence chala effective ga anipinchedi .. I remember it used to make me feel a lot better. but I never followed thru after that .. now this thread brings back memories |

Nanigadu:Gayathri Manthram Sri Vidhya Manthram Ayyappa Swamy Saranam Anajaneya Swamy Sthothram Brihaspathi Manthram Rama Raksha Sthothram
See .. thats the reason for this thread! Never knew about Brihaspathi Mantram! Btw .. caste is totally not required .. if you see this thread .. more people are not born in brahmin families and yet have achieved greater spiritual heights! Cinejeevi:As far as chanting vedic mantras 1) by brahmin - if he does not follow his dharma like doing Sandhya vandanam etc., but chants all mantras as per swaram still he attains papam ONLY a) for not doing sandhya b) doing all such vaidik kratus without doing sandhya. 2) for others - these mantras and kratus despite whatever best one can do, always attain some form of doshams. To avoid or get rid of such doshams as remedy one has to do Gayatri rather extra Gayatri japam. Hope you got the answer.

Ishan:I think every person in spiritual pursuit must read Eckhart Tolle's 'Power of Now'.
You know what, its very surprising that he matches what Adi Shankara told. I have heard the audio of "Power of Now". In Summary two critical things he says, Live in the presence and accept the situation.. This is very simple as he says, but this is exactly our scriptures say. He westernized the concept and says it. He takes reference of Vivekananda, Budha, Gita, Ramana and other Indian references Mr Majnu Audio Review |

Musicfan: No mantra can liberate you, if that is the case if you chant 1 crore times and you are liberated then everyone one of us would have been liberated already, it doesnt work that way. Same with chanting vishnu sahasranamam or some stotras, most of them reveal the phalasruti, so some has their own limitations can help only to certain level. Spiritual experts always take a classic example of rope and snake. No matter how many times you do the japa that this is rope not a snake, when you see a rope you still feel it a snake. So whats the use of Japa then?? This instant instinct of thought that this is snake will be eradicated by constant thought thru Japa, the wisdom of that this is not snake it is roke sees thru in to your mind and then you know longer think that is snake. Same way constant japa of any mantra/namam/stotram will cleanse your mind, purify the mind, and open the wisdom to capture the Jnana that reveals the truth about one self. There are many paths to get the Jnana, whether its thru karma, or Bhakti thru Japa or some other means. But ultimately how only Jnana can make us realize about rope vs snake, all these means help us to get there. but they cannot give us the liberation by knowing I am not the body, mind, soul I am the Supreme self ( as per advaita ) opens up and you realize and get liberated. Mind as per nature always makes us to be either in past or future, creating either sympathy or guilt for past deeds or fear for future, and most of them say 90% are repetitive. Just analyze your mind for a day, you will understand that. So the best solution is to constantly contemplating on a mantra, name or form, which will make mind to think about "now". There by mind slowly gets into our control than we getting into its control.
Its been a while since I have seen a quality post in this DB. Good one, take my 5 stars. On the side note, I think every person in spiritual pursuit must read Eckhart Tolle's 'Power of Now'. This guy is good. He is especially suited to atheistic spiritual pursuants. |

Tilak:Thank you, annai. Makes sense to me. Every Vivekananda needs a Ramakrishna Paramahamsa!
you are talking two different things.. But in olden days not every mantra is given/initiated to everyone as the mantra should fit our characters. If it doesnt, then there is no use as they say. For mantra, the more real reason to be initiated by Guru, is that Guru who used to observe the student, disciple knows which mantra suits that student. They used to initiate the mantra so that they can fight the rest of the life just with the help of that mantra. However these days people think Scriptures have given undue advantage to gurus, who are misusing it. Thats never the case. Since our education system is changed, people get whatever they want which shouldnt be the case. Is there a mantra in "Mara" no, the guru knows how to make it to disciple. However we misinterpret everything these days which we think we have a great logic and intellect, and some statements show how shallow we are.. More to come.. Mr Majnu Audio Review |

Anand_n:Any spiritual milestones/ experiences you feel comfortable sharing ?
when destiny is in the focus, the milestones doesn't really come into picture, or attract our attention anymore. There are so many experiences, in this path sometimes we dont have the capability to decode the experiences, it takes a while to understand what happened, why it happened, how things are linked at a higher level, Amazing to witness them.

Cinejeevi:The reason to have a initiation is because, the person has already chanted it in proper way for many years/months or effectively, thus carrying the mantra balam/sakhti which gets transferred during the initiation. That way the person who takes the mantra has that backup to start with rather than starting from zero. Remember "pooranmada poorna midam"... This is true for any mantra. However if one finds no guru but is serious and/or severely influenced towards the devotional path then can take Sri adi Sankara as guru and start chanting. But getting it from someone who is in that path benefits a lot.
Thank you, annai. Makes sense to me. Every Vivekananda needs a Ramakrishna Paramahamsa!
Cinejeevi:remember despite being declaring himself as god (Krishna) and as an avatara himself (Rama) still needed Guru or showed to the world the importance of Guru.
Absolutely. A good guru keeps one grounded, focused etc .. Musicfan:Same way constant japa of any mantra/namam/stotram will cleanse your mind, purify the mind, and open the wisdom to capture the Jnana that reveals the truth about one self.
I agree .. Musicfan:There by mind slowly gets into our control than we getting into its control.
Thats the entire game kada .. India First. |

Tilak - Om Namah Sivaya is Panchakshari Mantra .. right? Do we need "initiation" from a Guru to chant it? "Rama" namam is a mantram or not? We have seen countless individuals transformed by those two alphabets! The reason to have a initiation is because, the person has already chanted it in proper way for many years/months or effectively, thus carrying the mantra balam/sakhti which gets transferred during the initiation. That way the person who takes the mantra has that backup to start with rather than starting from zero. Remember "pooranmada poorna midam"... This is true for any mantra. However if one finds no guru but is serious and/or severely influenced towards the devotional path then can take Sri adi Sankara as guru and start chanting. But getting it from someone who is in that path benefits a lot. remember despite being declaring himself as god (Krishna) and as an avatara himself (Rama) still needed Guru or showed to the world the importance of Guru. critic - Knowledge koraku asking ..if so...a non brahmin who is a nonvegeterian, if chants with a perfect swarm, then is it okay to chant during rudrabhishekam? Also one more question... as Rama and Krishna are kshatriyas, so they eat meat kaada? I answered second part somewhere in the thread about Rama. He did all vedic stuff himself during aranyavasam while following his Dharma. absolutely fine. That was that yuga dharma. Unless someone is in the duty of protection meat in this Yuga is banned per dharma. - (discussion on this topic separately but for now I stick to this line) As far as chanting vedic mantras 1) by brahmin - if he does not follow his dharma like doing Sandhya vandanam etc., but chants all mantras as per swaram still he attains papam ONLY a) for not doing sandhya b) doing all such vaidik kratus without doing sandhya. 2) for others - these mantras and kratus despite whatever best one can do, always attain some form of doshams. To avoid or get rid of such doshams as remedy one has to do Gayatri rather extra Gayatri japam. Hope you got the answer. Lastly, it is easy for non brahmin varnas (remember Kshatriyas and Vysyas are supposed to do sandhya and follow that and if NOT no use) to get into the moksha path easily versus Brahmin varna. That is why getting birth in Brahmin varna may be punya per Sastra but toughest to live like a Brahmin and is pronoe to attract/attain more papam. Anything I said earlier is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 1 day |
