Early morning as one of my morning activity I played the CD on Vishnu sahasra Naama
“Adhi sankara wrote a number of vedantic hymns and one among them is the famous bhajagovindam...” I heard the great Raja Gopalacharias beginning speech while playing the CD on Bhajagovindam & Vishnu sahasra naamam sung by M.S.Subbulakshmi....
Ooh then adi sankaracharya has himself written several devotional poems to different forms of god...He did not reject the material world or ordinary life, but asked his devotees to transcend the material world. The doctrine of maya on which sankara wrote volumes, does not state that the world is unreal but that our perception of the world is wrong...Our perception of world is relative, subject to time space and caution.A man experience in his dream a lion chasing him,In his dream he tries to get awy from the lion without even moving an inch in his bed.He feels that he has run miles and miles away from the thorny forests, but when he suddenly gets up or awaken he says to himself ”It was only a dream”. The agonizing experience he had in his dream suddenly becomes a mere stupidity when he wakes up.So we do feel the same way about this materialistic world when we wake up from this materialistic dream...At the same time all of us has to fight in this world of duality as long as we see the world dualistic in nature. Both are in the game....
After hearing the sahasra naama I wanted to have my breakfast and get ready for morning aarti ....I got some idlies (rice cakes) and chutney... to eat...The iddlies were half baked not fully cooked and I had two minds whether to serve such idlies to my sai
Aum sairam
