Shree Dattatreya: My bliss and contentment are the fruits of self-realization

Shree Dattatreya: My bliss and contentment are the fruits of self-realization
🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Soul alone is my Guru.Once King Yadu saw Lord Dattatreya (Avadhoot) wandering in a forest happily, free from worries. The king with humbleness asked the sage, about the secret of his happiness and the name of his Guru. Further said to sage, that despite you look capable and wise, why do you live in the forest. Even though you have no family, nor any loved one, how could you be so blissful and self-contented?

To answer the Yadu’s enquired queries, the Lord Dattatreya (Avadhoot, one who have given up all worldly desires) replied:
My bliss and contentment are the fruits of self-realization. Soul (Aatmaa) alone is my Guru, yet I have gained the necessary wisdom from the whole creation, via 24 individual who were therefore my Gurus. I shall elaborate the same for you.

Further Lord Dattatreya said: I have taken shelter of twenty-four gurus, who are the following: the earth, air, sky, water, fire, moon, sun, pigeon and python; the sea, moth, honeybee, elephant and honey thief; the deer, the fish, the dancing girl Pingala, the kurari bird and the child; the young girl, arrow maker, serpent, spider and wasp.

Further Lord Dattatreya explains what he has learned from his own body. My Body teaches me Gyaan (knowledge) and Vairaagya (detachment). Birth and death are along with it. It means that if we hold on to this body then we have to bear sorrows. Although it helps to think about Tattwa (elements) still I never consider it mine.

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Yoga of wisdom and realization.

Prabhu Sri Krishna Ji said:
I am the sapidity in water, O Arjuna!
I am the light in the moon and the sun
I am the syllable AUM in all the Vedas, sound in ether, and virility in men
I am the sweet fragrance in earth and the brilliance in fire, the life in all beings
I am austerity in ascetics
Know Me, O Arjuna!
As the eternal seed of all beings
I am the intelligence of the intelligent
the splendour of the splendid objects am I!
Of the strong, I am the strength devoid of desire and attachment, and in [all] beings.
I am the desire unopposed to Dharma, O Arjuna!
Whatever being [and objects] that are pure, active and inert, know that they proceed from Me.
They are in Me, yet I am not in them.

Surrender everything to me, I am the God: O Arjuna: Bhagavad Gita, Chapter XVIII, Verses 66

Surrender everything to me, I am ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Lord Shree Krishna said that during the last chapter since, he exhausted all other advice to Arjuna regarding:
1. Jnana Yoga: The path of external renunciation, where outside activity is given up in pursuit of inner enquiry.
2. Karma Yoga: It purifies the mind. It leads one to consider dharma of work, and the work according to one's dharma, doing god's work.
3. Raja Yoga: It does emphasize the importance of self-control, meditation, and inner discipline, which are core principles of Raja Yoga, and discusses various yogic paths including Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Jnana Yoga.

Sarva-Dharman parityajya mam ekam sharanam vraja aham tvam sarva-papebhyo mokshayishyami ma shuchah.

Lord Krishna said: Abandon all Dharma (duties) and just surrender unto me (the will of God). I shall deliver you from all bonds of Karma. Do not fear.

Theory of Swami Shree Chakardhara for Karmas and Liberation

Theory of Swami Shree Chakardhara...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Swami Shree Chakardhara depicted a theory about Karma, whatever we perform daily is a Karma. Jeevs are naturally a doer, Jeevs can’t even rest a while without doing a deed. Jeevs are very helpless by his nature and too much strong if he remembers who is his Parmeshwara.

Swami Ji’s theory is well explained and clear about the Karma. According to Swami Ji, Karmas are not always physically performed. Sometimes karmas are our thoughts and words also. Jeevs are doing karmas every second, even in any form like talking, walking, sleeping, eating, thinking and all the basic activites.

Origin of Karmas It has already been explained that in the first three creations, the jeevs prepared for the performance of deeds and in the fourth creation the deeds performed became rewardable. Now, in this the role of Devtas began. Devtas are ordered to give rewards to the jeevs. Since jeev can't reward himself so Devtas as an examiner takes charge to reward the Jeevs, but on the top, the Parmeshwara is holding the charge of Principal. Only by his grant, the Devtas give rewards to Jeevs, positive or negative both by deeds.

Three stages of Karmas Swami Ji explained the cause of Karmas and now he is explaining the three stage of Karmas. A single karma is performed by a process. These stage of Karmas are:
1️⃣ Thinking: This is the very first process, whatever jeevs want to perform, he thinks for that.
2️⃣ Speaking: After thinking and assuming, Jeevs secondly speak for that.
3️⃣ Acting: Very last, after speaking jeevs act for that physically.

Since all the karmas are performed by jeevs, but there is a hidden force working inside. The hidden force have coated a layer of dust on the jeevs. Actually, the karmas are the bondages and the real hurdle in the path of liberation. Jeevs can’t attain bliss without leaving the greed of karma.

Prabhu Shree Chakarapani Ji sacri...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

In the village called Kauli, there was a hut elf hat yogini Kamakhya. She had disposed many sadhu saints from her ascension and with her beauty and her gestures. On hearing the power and capacitation of Shree Chakarapani Maharaj Ji she too reached there.

With her appearance and colours of beauty, she tried lord to attracted toward herself. Prabhu Ji was in celibacy and inside the cave, Prabhu Ji was in the meditation mode. She was trying to enter the cave, but she can't because she was tied to the oath of Shree Dattatreya. From outside the cave, she was doing a lot of praise & tried to distract the lord.

She tried thousand times but Prabhu Ji hasn't given up. Similarly, the thing was going and this is the seventh day. Now, in the end, Shri Chakarapani Ji gave up his body with Yoga power. On the seventh day, she entered the cave and saw that the Lord had left his body. At the end, she praised the Prabhu Ji and said she successfully distracted & deployed many types of Maha Purakhs & Saints from their path, but the Prabhu Shree Chakarapani Ji was strong enough and he gave up his body.

Past and Present - perceptions of mind: Bhagvad Gita, Chapter V, Verses 14

Past and Present - perceptions of...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Question : Did Lord Krishna say anything about?
Why do we take birth, if we have to die later?
That is a million dollar question, without any clear cut logical answer.

1. Only thing Lord Krishna said is that people take birth due to their past karmic debts incurred during their last birth (incarnation).
2. Each of us are responsible for our birth. God has nothing to do with that.
3. We continue this cycles of birth and death, until we exhaust all our karmic debt and then we attain salvation.
4. Lord Krishna said: God does not decide what each person should do, nor he induce people to act, nor does he create fruits of any action.

Each person acts according to his/her Vasanas (Past and present perceptions of mind)

What is Karma: Action or Deed

What is Karma: Action or Deed

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Karma is a Sanskrit term. It means action or deed. Any physical or mental action is Karma. Thinking is mental Karma. Karma is the sum total of our acts, both in the present life and in the preceding births.

Karma means not only action, but also the result of an action. There is a hidden power in Karma or action termed 'Adrishta' which brings in fruits of Karmas for the individual. The consequence of an action is really not a separate thing. It is a part of the action and cannot be divided from it.

According to the Gita, any action done with Nishkamya Bhava (selflessness) is Karma.
Lord Krishna says: Work incessantly. Your duty is to work but not to expect the fruits thereof. The central teaching of the Gita is non-attachment to work. Breathing, eating, seeing, hearing, thinking, etc., are all Karmas. Thinking is real Karma. Raga-dvesha (likes and dislikes) constitute real karma.
