acaryavan puruso veda

This adage is from chandogya upanisad, spiritual master is the personification of vedas. Living vedas, his actions are in terms of sastra, closely observe the activities of divine spiritual master, you will realise that each of his behaviour has a reason. 

Once I saw my Guru Mahārāja was touching the earth at the tulasi plant after our tulasi arati while watering Tulasi devi. I did follow,  later when I was reading Hari Bhakti vilasa, I came across glories of earth beneath the tulasi plant. (Tulasi mula mittika) 

The Glories of Tulasé's Wood and Earth In the Skanda Puräëa it is said: "Touching the earth at Tulasé's roots is equal to ten million pilgrimages. One should carefully keep some of this earth in his home.

"A person who at his death is anointed with Tulasé earth is invisible to Yamaräja. Yamaräja cannot even see him, even if he has committed a hundred sins.

"When a person places Tulasé earth on his head, all obstacles that trouble him perish. All the planets become auspicious for him.

"Lord Kåñëa is pleased with whoever places the earth from Tulasé's roots on his head. Lord Kåñëa grants him anything he may desire."

"A person who touches the earth that has touched Tulasé, Lord Hari's devotees, or the Gaìgä, attains an eternal spiritual form."

(Tenth vilasa) 

By regularly hearing from my Guru-mahārāja,  I also realised all things he says is from Srila Prabhupāda books. (Non different in sound)

I feel very much blessed to have my dear Guru Mahārāja.

Marriage is always a pompous ceremony in every other culture, in India it has become a religious and legal threat to woman. From countless stories of child marriages, domestic abuse to divorce cases, India still hopes marriage would be sweet dreams in reality it turns out to be a wild nightmare for young girls..

Yet profound awareness is risen among our girls to have aaan education that willll support their economy.. let's consider pros and cons of i...

Successful marriage requires submissive wife

Image
When Srila Prabhupāda said, if marriage is failure then 90% of chances are due to woman's lack of submissiveness. Submissiveness is innate asset for women.  Modern education and training in contemporary society raised woman to rebel against the male authority in our life, be it father, husband or son. As, it has been aptly put by HG Jagannathesvari mataji in her book, The four goals of family life,  A woman becomes more beautiful not by wearing nice ornaments rather becoming submissive.  A beautiful wife without submissiveness is jewelled snake, beauty attracts man, character captures a man.  If you wish to save your marriage,  ladies, here is the tip, learn the art of submissiveness.  Submissiveness means submission, submitting to your husband.  A pristine quote from Srila Prabhupāda,  However great a woman may be, she must place herself before her husband in this way; that is to say, she must be ready to carry out he...
