4. Saddharshanam - It is a magical world

                                            

4. உருவந்தா னாயி னுலகுபர மற்றா 

முருவந்தா னன்றே லுவற்றி -னுருவத்தைக் 

கண்ணுறுதல் யாவனெவன் கண்ணலாற் காட்சியுண்டோ 

கண்ணதுதா னந்தமிலாக் கண் .

பதம் பிரித்தல் 

உருவம் தான் ஆயின் உலகு பரம்  அற்று ஆம்  

உருவம் தான் அன்றேல்  உவற்றின் உருவத்தைக் 

கண்ணுறுதல் யாவன்?  எவன் கண் அலால்  காட்சி உண்டோ? 

கண் அது தான் அந்தம் இலாக் கண் .


सरूपबुिद्धजर्गतीश्वरे च 

सरूपधीरात्मिन यावदस्ति।
अरूप आत्मा यिद कः प्रपश्यते

सादृिष्टरकेाऽनविधिहर्पणूार्॥४॥

It is a magical world 


Jiva's magic kingdom is created 

Entertaining prototype is inflated

A universal studio is made with actors

Games are played in the amusement park 


'Multiple theme parks with varied emotions

Multiple divisions with different practices

Becoming' something continues forever

'Becoming' a Swami can even be an endeavor


Individuality is misplaced with forms

Bonding is established without norms

Subjectivity with imagination is born

Projections continued without a forewarn


Gross, subtle and causal are threefold

Karmā is the underlying reason that holds

Stories are written even with Īśvara forms

Whimsical customs develop with reforms


As long as I is identified with form

Īśvara can never be without a form

Spiritual growth begins when this is shaken

I, Jagat and Īśvara start to shine when waken


This can be the most thrilling self spinning ride 

Don't worry, don't hurry, just let it all slide 

The reality is understood, nothing is tragical  

The guru unfolds the truth, the world is magical


Swamini Svatmavidyanandaji class  10

  1. Following along the theme we have to say this:

    You wave the Magic Wand after each class
    This unrolls the Magic Carpet of class teachings
    Pulls the Jiva from the Haunted Mansion
    Saves the Jiva from the Pirates (Raaga, Dvesha)
    Pushes the Buzzing Lightyear to remain still
    Shines the Magic Mirror to reveal the Self
    Lets the Jiva do a Great Escape
    Transports the Jiva from the Roller Coaster to a Spiritual Ride

A Tale of Two birds

  A   Tale of two birds Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a bird, With a  coo coo  here, and a  coo coo  there, Here a  coo , there a  coo , Everywhere  coo coo ! This bird eats the berries, Some are bitter, some are sweet. Fluttering here, fluttering there, Restless in its endless search. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a jīva, With a  glub glub  here,  and a  glub glub  there , Here a  glub,  there a  glub   , Everywhere  glub glub   ! The jīva whines in sorrow, The jīva whines in fear. Forgetting its true nature,  It suffers birth after birth. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree the jīva met the Guru, And the jīva turned into a bhakta. She asks, “Give me this, give me that,” She prays in sorrow and distress. She makes her bargains and deals Slowly c...

Life is a Yajña

  Life is a Yajña I simply sit and close the eyes I download the mind, I download all its contents, I disregard the past memory, I set aside the worries of future, I look at my life...  I witness the life ... I rise above all selfish demands  I transcend all trivial concerns I allow life to become a yajña. .. I offer this life, as an oblation I offer the personal self,  Me and Mine as an oblation in the fire of wisdom  Vak- The organ of speech I visualize it as Rig Veda I offer all the words that come out I offer speech as an oblation ... I speak the truth when needed to speak I speak only in sweet tones I avoid hurting at all cost Now, the speech is Rig Veda I offer it as an oblation to Īśvara, the whole The Family, Community, Society,  Humanity at large, All life forms in the creation, I offer it as an oblation! Prāṇā -The Vital Force  Breath, Energy, Vigor Pervading the entire body I visualize Prāṇā  as Sama Veda I offer the energy as an oblati...

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within Paro Taktsang , famously known as the Tiger’s Nest Monastery , is one of Bhutan’s most sacred and breathtaking places — perched on a cliffside at an altitude of around 3,100 meters (10,200 feet) in Paro, Bhutan.  It’s not just a hike; it’s a pilgrimage.  We began our hike from the base around 7 AM. Wooden walking sticks rented from locals in hand, Strava app turned on, and spirits eager, we followed our guide, Kinzan, who kindly guided us along. We took a “before hike” photo — smiling, unaware of the lessons waiting ahead. The winding path stretched ahead, shaded by tall trees, strings of prayer flags, with hundreds of steps ascending through the forest.  Around us, travelers from all over the world climbing along—each group led by its own local guide. Step by step, one foot before the other, the hike began.  With every upward step, doubts crept in —  Will I make it?   The walking stick ...
