If you are depressed, you are living in the past.

If you're anxious, you are living in the future.

If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

गीता सत्र डॉ० परीक्षित सिंह के साथ आज रात्रि नौ बजे ।

हमारे चारों ओर अशांत चित्त के लोगों का समूह घूम रहा है ।

ऐसे में श्री कृष्ण द्वारा शांत चित्त की कीमिया का महत्व ।

गीता हमारे सब दुखों की कुंजी है ।

सभी मित्र प्रश्न पूछ सकते हैं ।

Watch this cute video by @BluOneInk for my kids' book - My Sister Devi. Through Krishna, it narrates the story of Durga Saptashati to introduce our kids to the adventures of the Devi. Along the way it also talks about sibling bond & the virtue of courage.

@BabaTheCortex To be more specific Hum (हूं) is nishkal beeja mantra for Svacchanda Bhairava.

[Amazing Vedas @AmazingVedas]

@BabaTheCortex This makes sense. That is why Sri Aurobindo says that one of the meanings of hotaram is a warrior or yoddha

[Baba TheCortex @BabaTheCortex]

Hum (हूं) and Ham (हं) are both bīja mantras, but they channel very different energies. Hum is a tantric “weapon” syllable used for protection, suppression of negativity, and fiery Shakti, while Ham is the Viśuddha Chakra bīja, representing ether, purity, and truthful speech.

[RamanaEssence @RamanaEssence]

I have no color, no caste, no form, no elements. I have no body, no mind, no intellect. How then can I speak of bondage and liberation? I am by nature pure, stainless, and eternally free.

~ Avadhuta Gita

[Sri Aurobindo @integralyog]

When you have a desire you are governed by the thing you desire; it takes possession of your mind and your life, and you become a slave. If you have greed for food you are no longer the master of food, it is the food that masters you.

[Hemaram @AghoraVaktra]

Pratibhijnā, the philosophy of self-recognition, forms the foundation for all the highest (non-dual) experiences in Śaiva and Śakta tantra. Abhinvagupta, in his philosophical discourse on Pratibhijnā, introduces an intriguing term: Prasiddhi.

The prefix “Pra” signifies forward movement, progression, or intensity, while “Siddhi” denotes accomplishment, attainment, or perfection. Therefore, Prasiddhi represents the attainment of self-recognition, the “I-AM,” which encompasses everything, including the notion of mind (inner sense organs), body (outer sense organs), and the world (objectivity). From an experiential (esoteric) perspective, Prasiddhi signifies the recognition of the pervasive nature of ‘I-consciousness,’ through which our inner and outer sense organs are animated to create, sustain, and dissolve the world continuously. In return, the sense organs (presiding deities of the sense organs) acknowledge this ‘Prasiddhi’ of “I-AM” in individual embodiment as none other than the “I-AM” of Lord Shiva.

Consequently, during the most profound mystical experience, all inner and outer senses of individuality (immanent consciousness) are elevated by their respective deities (shakti-chakra) to the level of transcendental consciousness—Shiva. Meanwhile, these senses remain at the intermediary level of Shakti. This is the state of an accomplished Śaiva Guru, such as Swami Laxman Joo, who bestowed grace upon his disciples simply by a glance or touch, with the shakti residing within his senses.

नुमः शारिकया जुष्टं प्रभया परिपूजितम।
गुरुरूपधरं देवं लक्ष्मणं शान्तविग्रहम्‌ ।।
“I bow to the divine Lakṣmaṇa (Swami Lakshman Joo), serene in form, who has assumed the role of the Guru, who is attended by Śārikā, and who is thoroughly worshipped by Prabhā.”
—Gurustuti by Acharya Rameshwar Jha

[Pratihara Hara @Pratihara_1857]

The important philosophical insight here is this:

Pratyabhijñā does not say:
“you are part of God.”

It says:
the very structure of subjectivity itself —
the fact that experience appears,
the fact that awareness knows,
the fact that “I” persists through changing states —
is already evidence of universal consciousness.

The finite self is not separate from Śiva.
It is Śiva under conditions of self-limitation.

[Dr David Frawley @davidfrawleyved]

ETERNITY AND INFINITY EVERYWHERE
Every moment in Time is but a wave in the Ocean of Eternity.
Every point in Space is but a wave in the Ocean of Infinity.
Merge your mind into the Ocean of Self-awareness and and you will find the entire universe within you.
Sri Paramatmane Namah!

[Amazing Vedas @AmazingVedas]

Who is Martanda?

Martanda is the dead egg or fallen Sun (mrta + anda). He is born of Aditi among 7 other adityas

He is born dead or is assigned to the world of birth and death. Cast away, he ascends through the darkness and recovers his light until he becomes a full Sun. Sri Aurobindo sees in him the divine consciousness involved in mortality

The Veda has other fables which show us the Truth involved or hidden in the inconscient universe. With Vala, we see the gau or Light trapped inside a cave of darkness being released by Indra with the help of Sarama and Angirasa Rishis. Similarly, the tale of Agni hiding in matter and evolving through the dense unconscious has a similar message

It is the Vedic conception of light or truth involved in darkness, recovering through the dark night until the hidden truth evolves itself in the world

वेदागमविरुद्धाय वेदागमविधायिने ।वेदागमसतत्त्वाय गुह्याय स्वामिने नमः ॥

[Amazing Vedas @AmazingVedas]

What is onomatopoeia? It is a device deployed in poetry where the meaning imitates the sound of the word. In Sanskrit it is called शब्दानुकृति or अनुकरणं ।
For example, words in Hindi such as रिमझिम, गुनगुनाना, म्याऊँ, गुटर्गूँ etc or काक, कोकिल, बुदबुद in Sanskrit.

Let us look at RV 1.4.1 and the acoustic imitation of meaning

सु॒रू॒प॒कृ॒त्नुमू॒तये॑ सु॒दुघा॑मिव गो॒दुहे॑ । जु॒हू॒मसि॒ द्यवि॑द्यवि ॥

The second pada prepares the listener with the sounds of du- repeated twice. The third pada mimics the movement of the milking of the cow with the perfect word choice juhoomasi and the repetition of dyavi. The sound gives us a sense of extracting milk from the udder as we draw light and truth from Indra day by day

This may be the first instance of onomatopoeia in world literature although one may insist that it has been used in RV 1.2.1 already. Either way, the Veda deployed it first

The Varṇamālā: The Lost Operating System of Hindu Civilization

The Sanskrit varṇamālā was never merely an alphabet. It was a compressed model of reality itself.

Modern alphabets are mostly arbitrary symbol systems. Sanskrit is different. Its sounds are arranged scientifically by:

>breath,
>resonance,
>articulation,
>vibration,
>and vocal geometry.

The sounds move systematically:
throat → palate → cerebral → dental → labial.

The human body itself becomes the map of sound emergence.

The deeper Hindu insight was radical:

reality behaves like structured articulation.

>First:
undifferentiated potential.

>Then:
vibration.

>Then:
differentiation.

>Then:
stable forms,
identities,
and civilizations.

This is why Hindu thought linked:
>sound,
>consciousness,
>geometry,
>number,
>and cosmology together.

Akṣara itself means both:
“syllable”
and
“indestructible unit.”

That is not accidental.

Pāṇini later compressed Sanskrit grammar into an astonishing symbolic system resembling computational logic and generative rules. The Māheśvara Sūtras behave almost like executable linguistic code.

What is fascinating is that modern physics is increasingly moving toward similar ideas.

Quantum physics no longer sees reality as solid objects alone, but as:

>vibration,
>fields,
>probabilities,
>information,
>symmetry,
>and observer-dependent structures.

AI similarly works through:

>token systems,
>recursive generation,
>symbolic compression,
>and attention architectures.

The Sanskritic framework explored parallel questions thousands of years ago through:

>mantra,
>grammar,
>sound topology,
>recursion,
>and consciousness experimentation.

A practical example appears in the ACE framework itself.

In ACE, sounds are treated as operators rather than arbitrary labels. For instance:

vowels act as consciousness fields,
consonants act as dynamic operators,
bindu acts as recursive closure,
and articulation geometry affects semantic tendency.

Take the bīja:
क्रीं (Krīṁ), associated with Kālī.

क emerges from the throat as projection and force.
र introduces dynamic recurrence and flow.
ई contracts and intensifies consciousness.
ं seals the sound into recursive closure.

The meaning is not randomly assigned afterward.
The sound structure itself generates a topology of:
projection → transformation → contraction → collapse.

This is extremely similar to how modern physics studies structured field interactions and how AI derives emergent behavior from token relationships and recursive architectures.

This does not mean ancient India had quantum mechanics or neural networks.

It means Hindu civilization was investigating something deeper:
how reality emerges from structured vibration, information, and consciousness itself.

The astonishing part is this:

The philosophy was never fully hidden in distant scriptures.

It was lying in front of us the entire time —
inside the alphabet itself.

Civilization simply forgot what the sounds originally meant.

The Bhagavad Gita #watercolour #krishnafortoday

[Amazing Vedas @AmazingVedas]

From the microscopic build the macroscopic

This is the other great genius of Vedic literature and arts

Sculpting or designing in excruciatingly intricate detail as in a great monument or temple, or literature as in the Ramayana or the Mahabharata

But the essence of the smallest अणु is always divine. So is the most humongous. For the Divine is the most minuscule and the most extensive and vast at the same time

The Veda starts this approach. Every minute detail attended with utmost care ध्यान , for the means are the end, the journey is the reward

लघुतमात् महत्तमं यावत् दिव्यम्

This is a critical aspect of all Indic arts since they take inspiration from the Veda and in some cases derive directly from it

@MakrandParanspe

[Amazing Vedas @AmazingVedas]

The Bhagavad Gita is full of pithy lessons for a lifetime coming from the Master himself, Sri Krishna. But we forget that behind the powerful word meanings is a great visual landscape unveiled before us

First, it begins with the realization that we are seeing through the eyes of Sanjaya, not directly. Only Arjuna see Sri Krishna universal roopa directly and he too is overwhelmed. We don’t do a sakshatkara of Sri Krishna. Is there a message here?

Then the double view that is a perspectival masterstroke. A vast field teeming with armies and in the center two warriors chatting away. Can you imagine the camera work needed if this were a movie? And then, of course, the Vishvaroopa of Sri Krishna in the 11th chapter. What a climax!

The Veda too is extremely visual. All these devas are seen clearly and described in great detail. We must only learn to see. The Agni, handsome Vayu, Varuna of wide reach and Indra of lightning thunderbolt, Usha and Surya chasing her, Saraswati descending in our mind: they are not imaginary but real. And that is how we must take them, simply, clearly, to soak in the Veda into our DNA

@MakrandParanspe

[Amazing Vedas @AmazingVedas]

The Veda is a living breathing dynamic shastra

This is its genius. It shares this feature with the Bhagavad Gita where it often seems that Sri Krishna is not speaking to Arjuna but to us. In the Veda, the Rishi, the living Guru, is directly sharing his or her highest greatest realizations with us. We too can experience their realizations. They are giving us the tools to relive and be what they lived and were

It is as fresh today as it was a few thousand years ago this Veda. It is as immediate and powerful today as it was then. But it speaks to us like a mother to her newborn. The newborn hears with his or her whole body and being. Word meaning will become clear over time. But the tone and sound and presence are intimate and their own message. And, most importantly, there is the love behind those words which transcends communication and reaches deep communion @MakrandParanspe
