Talk 92 - Verse 314-317This talk continues on how to cut the bondage of samsara.Sadhana practices and paths are prescribed to eliminate, externally and internally, our thoughts and actions which strengthen our vasanas.

Hiranyaretaa: One whose seed is golden. The Lord's body is Consciousness. It is not matter, like ours. Hence his seed is also described golden. The Lord is the prime source of creation. He is that from which everything arose and hence he is called hiranyaretaa. suvarṇa-retāḥ = Of gold semen. At the beginning of creation (of the universe), the seminal energy of the Lord took the shape of a gold egg. The Skānda-Purāna describes it as the ‘creation of the gold egg (brahmāṇḍa)’. āpa eva

Talk 91 - Verses 309-313Through Verse 309, Shankaracharyaji cautions us that even if the ego is rooted out, it can revive in full force creating mischief. The next 3 verses are about actions, thoughts and vasanas as creating bondage and causing the ego to revive. The verses talk about sadhana to practice to sublimate the vasanas and consequent actions.

Talk 90 : Verses 304-309The attitude of ego, doership must be renounced with all urgency and know it to be a reflection of the pure unsullied Consciousness. The ego sense is the reason for transmigration and Shankaracharya ji reiterates the importance of eliminating it like one would a thorn stuck in the throat. The sadhana of withdrawal, renunciation of attachments, practice of quietude and then steady contemplation on Brahman are recommended. The slightest inalertness can be catastrophic

Talk 89 : Verses 302-303Through an interesting analogy of a treasure guarded by a serpent, this talk explains that the wealth of Pure Consciousness is covered by the ego or ahankara. This ego asserts itself constantly through the three gunas and can only be destroyed by the sword of vijnana. The ego is further likened to poison in the seekers journey, hence this is a call to awaken fully and realise the Absolute through complete egolessness. Please support this channel by pressing the

Prajaapatihi: The Lord of all beings. Prajapatis take the creation forward and do the detailing. Brahmaji creates them. But Brahmaji derives his power from Lord Shiva. Hence Lord Shiva is Prajaapati here. The Lord indicates to us that we must have both the abilities – to have the macro picture and also go into the minute detailing.

Talk 88 : Verses 298-301Though avidya or ignorance is the root cause for bondage, Ego, the first modification of ignorance is another vital cause for transmigration. Hence this is a word of caution to not identify with the ego and to use the intellect to transcend the ego instead. If there is no doership then there is no enjoyer, no sufferer. For liberation, the ego sense has to be totally eliminated, revealing the effulgent glorious state of the Self. Please support this channel by

The lord of the Ganas. The Lord of Nandi, Bhringi, Riti, Mahākāla and other Ganas. This name can be seen in connection with the previous name Veerabhadra also. Veerabhadra - the Lord of the Ganas. One who is in the form of Ganapati - the elephant faced Lord. By the Vedic logic, son is a part of the father. Gana means groups of people. Like devagana - the group of gods , rishigana - group or a collection of rishis etc . Lord Shiva who is the lord of all groups and collection of people is

The Real ‘I’, the ultimate observer, the uninvolved witness, is explained through various attributes. Hence renounce the ego and the Jiva bhava, along with vanities of family, name, fame, position and abide in unbroken Bliss, akhanda bodhanam.

Veerabhadra - Veera – heroic. Bhadra – auspicious. Veerabhadra had all these qualities by birth and hence he got his name . Veerabhadra is one of the Ganas of lord Shiva. He was created to destroy the yagnya of Daksha prajapati. चतुर्भुजं त्रिनेत्रं च जटामुक्टसंयुतं दक्षिणे खड्गबाणौच वामे चाप गदाधरं दंष्ट्राकरालवदनं भीमं भैरवगर्जितं रुण्डमालासमायुक्तं पादुकोपरिसंस्थितं caturbhujaṃ trinetraṃ ca jaṭāmukṭasaṃyutaṃ dakṣiṇe khaḍgabāṇauca vāme cāpa gadādharaṃ daṃṣṭrākarālavadanaṃ bhīmaṃ

Talk 86 : Verses 290-293To end the false identification, the mumukshu has to shift his attention and drop attachment to the subtle body, the linga sharira. He should look at the world as an illusion and a reflection of the Infinite. Having woken up to understand his nature of satchitananda, he is to revel in his Supreme State instead of the sorrow-filled samsara and drop the identification completely.

Talk 81: Verses 272-276The three types of vasanas are compared to iron shackles that impede a mumukshu. Body identification or dehatma bhava are the prison walls and bars that have to be broken through to get liberation. The fragrance of Pure Consciousness is compared to that of sandalwood and is as though obscured by the dust of innumerable vasanas which have to be removed completely for a clear realisation of the Absolute Truth.Please support this channel by pressing the subscribe button
