IF YOU WANT TO BE REALLY HAPPY......... FOLLOW AHIMSA:--

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The Hindu doctrine of Ahimsa (Non Violence) is a comprehensive term and emphasises the
value of Satya (Truth) Tyaga (Non-Covetousness) and Brahmacharya (Self-restraint).

 

“Meat diet is prohibited. Do not kill even for sacrifice (Yajna)”.
This is the teaching of the Hindu sages. The Statesman sage of Mahabharata, Bhishma
censures animal slaughter even for sacrifice (Yajna).
The mighty faith of Mahavira, the prophet of Jainism reproclaimed the truth of the ancient
Vedic Rishis.
Over and over again he taught ‘regard every living being as thy own self and harm no one’.
In his last sermon given on the last day of his earthly life Mahavira said “Destroy the
bondage of Karma. Be kind to every creature” ‘O Man!’, he said “Thou art thine own friend”.
Yes—Man is his own friend, he also is his own enemy.
For there is the great cosmic law that what you do comes back to you. What you do unto
others, you do unto yourselves. Therefore be kind to all, if you want to be really happy.

Advice To Grihastha ( Householder ) 1. Sri Swami Sivananda

18/11/2018 1. The Ashramas or stages of life are four, viz., Brahmacharya, the stage of student life; Grihastha, the stage of householder life; Vanaprastha, the stage of seclusion (forest-living); and Sannyasa, the stage of total renunciation. Each order of life has its own duties. In none of these stages must a man grasp at the special duties of the other three. At the present moment, it is difficult to maintain or observe the exact details of the ancient rules, as the conditions have changed very much. But, if we can have a clear idea of the fundamental duties of each, we shall still be able to shape the life through a regulated course of development and steady growth. The student, after finishing his studies, enters the order of Grihastha, when he is ready to take up the duties and responsibilities of household life. Of all Ashramas, that of the householder is the highest as he verily supports the other three. As all the streams and rivers flow to rest in the ocean, even so...

================================================================================ Thursday 12, September 2024, 05:30. Mysticism The Nature of the True Religious Life - 3.6.   Swami Krishnananda. Chapter 3: The Foundation of Religious Philosophy-6. ================================================================================= The question of relation is the central point on which every philosophical discussion hangs, finally. Causal relation is the greatest of all relations—one thing causing another thing, or giving rise to another thing, or for the matter of that, any kind of relation to any other thing. You will find that there is some peculiarity in the concept of relation. It is not so simple as it appears on the surface. Imagine that there are two things, A and B. You cannot imagine any sort of relationship between A and B unless A and B are two different things. If A is the same as B, the question of relationship does not arise. It is taken for granted that A and B are ...

================================================================================ Wednesday, 24, Jul 2024, 05:30. Mysticism The Nature of the True Religious Life - 3.5. -  Chapter 3: The Foundation of Religious Philosophy-5. Swami Krishnananda. ================================================================================= In one sentence, I told you that often it appears that the Real is not in this world because of its Supreme non-exclusive character. If it is transcendent totally, it can bear no relation to the world. If that which is called Real is not to be visualised, seen or recognised in anything in this world, which is subject to transformation, change and death, we cannot conceive of any kind of relationship between God and the world. If that is the case, you and I, involved in this world, cannot reach God. The aspiration for God would be a futile attempt because we have already decided that there is no connection between us and God. There are some philosophers who feel ...
