An aesthete

[Krishnan Srinivasan,B.Sc(Madras Univ)M.F.M(Bombay) @Sastha93883062]

The Video (in Tamil) is by Brahmasri Seshadhrinathan Sastrigal,
Retd., Principal of renowned Madras Sanskrit College, Mylapore.

He is from Kerala, now living in Madras.

He says...

"No need to see the Horoscope matching (because no astrologer living now is an expert in his domain)

Just three points can be checked-on a safer side, if you feel like.

1)Ayus(longevity)
2)Guna/character
3Employability /basis education

Sri Sri Shankara Bharati Swamigalu references Sri Sureshwaracharya’s Naishkarmya Siddhi here, explaining that a Sanyasi achieves true success if he first performs his prescribed duties (Vihitakarma) to purify his mind (Chitta Shuddi) before taking Sanyasa.

"Mullaivasal" as R. Krishnamurthy Sastrigal one of the greatest scholars of the Vedas, Vedanta, and Sanskrit of our times and former Principal of the Madras Sanskrit College, who was honoured by with titles such as ‘Veda Bhashya Ratnam’ from Kanchi Mahaswami worshipped as Walking Divinity, with the ‘Rishi Samman’ by the President of India, with titles including ‘Advaita Siddhi Ratnakaram’ and ‘Vedanta Vibhushanam’ attained Sadgati Yesterday

Born in 1944 into a family of traditional Vedic scholars in Mullaivasal village, Thanjavur district he underwent traditional Vedic studies under his father and subsequently studied Mimamsa and Vedanta Shastras under accomplished teachers. He earned a doctorate in Indian Philosophy from the University of Madras with a thesis titled ‘Ishtasiddhi Vivaranam’. He founded the ‘Brahma Vidya Bhavan’ to impart Vedanta education in the traditional manner; there, he taught Vedanta Shastras to around 15 students and dedicated himself to moulding them into accomplished scholars of Advaita Vedanta. He also served as the Managing Trustee of the Mullaivasal Heritage Trust, established in 2000 to preserve and propagate Indian knowledge systems, culture, and traditions.

I came into his tutelage in 1980s. I said I know very little Samskrit, he introduced me to Samskrit LKG, and began teaching me Gita Bhashya of Adisankara! Being caught in various battles of Indian Express with the Rajiv Govt arrests and persecution I was an irregular student under him. But the fire he lit in me to pursue Vedic studies from the perspectives of science, polity sociology, history continued. I used to meet him to take his guidance.

He taught me about the concepts Rashtra, Rajya, Rajya, Raja and Jana in Rig Veda. These concepts were known but he told me something stunning. He said that the Rig Veda says that people should adhere to the interests of Rashtra, there should be no mutual conflicts between the Rashtra and people, the latter should underplay itself and Rashtra should shape the people to do that. This showed that there was a highly evolved polity. This made me distrust the historic view that Vedic people were patoralists who evolved from Hunter gatherers. He gave a note in his own handwriting which is below

I will narrate in the next how the fire he lit in me began shaping my own studies in the last 3 decades as I heavily invested in the study of Swadeshi approach to our overall develpment.

Acharyal asked a Sastrigal to immediately read Virata Parva & keep coconut ,Banana & Vilakku(Lamp) for Puja.Acharyal was also walking in corridor murmuring something for 1 Hr. Around 2.30 rain started & poured for 4 Hrs,Acharyal asked Administrator is this sufficient? Greatness!!

[@Bala @neelabala]

In 1925 Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal was touring Devakottai for sometime,Administrator wanted to shift to Madurai as there was severe drought in Devakottai& he informed Acharyal. Acharyal said why was he not told earlier. It was around 1 PM & too hot temperature.1/2

To people who don’t want jargon on “Vijay-Governor issue”:

1. TVK has 108 seats.
2. Majority needed to form govt is 118.
3. Even with Congress coalition, they are still short
4. Senior ex AIADMK, now TVK leader Sengottaiyan, advised TVK to go to the Governor as the “single largest party.”
5. In that case, Governor could have invited them first & then asked them to prove majority later on the floor.
6. But instead, TVK went with a coalition claim including Congress MLAs.
7. Now, the moment you officially claim coalition support, the constitutional kicks in of proof.
8. That is why Governor reportedly asked for proof of majority support under Article 164.
9. So technically, TVK did NOT go as a single largest party the way followers are portraying it.

Why ignore the advice of a 9-time MLA & instead follow one day old Congress advisors ? 😭

[The Kaipullai @thekaipullai]

Poor Vijay

He thought all he has to do was gather MLAs of VCK, PMK, AIUML, CPI in one room, play some heroic intro music, give them a stirring speech in loud voice and they will join him.

And then with all of them, he will heroically walk into Governor house with another heroic background music, say some punch dialogues and he will be sweared in on the spot as the permanent CM of Tamil Nadu

Guess his world is finally meeting the real world

The biggest modern day brand ambassador for all gullible South Indian Smarta Brahmins. If you want to capture their attention and sound remotely religious or "spiritual" in order to appeal to the gullible Iyers, you use His photos for your business - be it wedding contract business, catering, canteen menu, real estate, calendar printing, pooja store etc etc everything . He is your all-in-all 'model' for advertisements targeting the gullible Iyers

You need to drop words like Mahaperiyava miracles, Periyava Jayanthi, Anusham

They won't know Brahmana Swadharma such as learning Vedas, or atleast doing daily Sandhyavandana or Brahmayagyam, but in their defence they will talk about their "Bhakti" to Him driving such business behaviour

Assume that in their minds, their Bhakti towards Him is so great that such "Bhakti" can surpass all the sins of skipping Nityakarmas or the sins of selling food

Not just using Him as a brand ambassador but also building temples for Him. I personally know of a genuine Veda Patashala where boys reside & learn and right adjacent to it, is a temple built recently for Him at the cost of 8 Cr. I heard. Building temples for Him is a very good money-making business today (btw building temples for Sanyasis is forbidden in Agama Shastra and is nowhere written in any Shastra)

The biggest ever sage of modern India and almost solely responsible for resurrecting Vedas and Dharma, Shastra in South India. I get gooseflesh as I think about ALL that He has done for the Vedic cause in one lifetime!

If only He were alive to see all this Tamasha and antics done today in His name!

[Ramanajyothi @Searchof_WhoamI]

A young man in his mid-twenties knocks on the door of a renowned Guru. He says: “I’ve come to you because I wish to study Vedas.”

“Do you know Sanskrit?” the Guru asks.

“No,” replies the young man.

“Have you studied any Indian philosophy?”

“No. But don’t worry. I just finished my doctoral dissertation at Harvard on logic. So now, I would just like to round up my education with a little study of the Vedas.”

“I doubt,” the Guru says, “that you are ready to study Vedas. It is the deepest knowledge ever known. If you wish, however, I am willing to examine you in logic, and if you pass that test I will teach you Vedas.”

The young man agrees.

Guru holds up two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face; the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”

The young man stares at the Guru. “Is that really a test in logic?”

The Guru nods.

”The one with the dirty face washes his face“- he answers confidently.

“Wrong. The one with the clean face washes his face. Examine the logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. So, the one with the clean face washes his face.”

“Very clever,” the young man says. “Give me another test.”

The Guru again holds up two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face, the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”

“We have already established that. The one with the clean face washes his face.”

“Wrong. Each one washes his face. Examine the logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. So, the one with the clean face washes his face. When the one with the dirty face sees the one with the clean face wash his face, he also washes his face. So, each one washes his face.”

“I didn’t think of that,” says the young man. It’s shocking to me that I could make an error in logic. Test me again.”

The Guru holds up two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face; the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”

“Each one washes his face.”

“Wrong. Neither one washes his face. Examine the logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. But when the one with the clean face sees the one with the dirty face doesn’t wash his face, he also doesn’t wash his face. So, neither one washes his face.”

The young man is desperate. “I am qualified to study Vedas. Please give me one more test.”

He groans, though, when the Guru lifts two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face; the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”

“Neither one washes his face.”

“Wrong. Do you now see why logic is an insufficient basis for studying Vedas? Tell me, how is it possible for two men to come down the same chimney, and for one to come out with a clean face and the other with a dirty face? Don’t you see? The whole question is nonsense, foolishness, and if you spend your whole life trying to answer foolish questions, all your answers will be foolish, too.”

That's why having wisdom is more important than having logic.

Infinite love
Infinite wisdom.

HH Abhinava Vidyātīrtha’s clarity and breadth of scholarship is so inspiring… he said in 1975 what many are insecure to admit today.

He is calling out the tendencies of some scholars to claim that “our śāstras have already said what modern science is finding out.”
