Chanakya's views on god




   
The simplification of the chanakya's shlokas


when an icon is carved according to the  iconographical dictates of the Āgama śāstra it is a symbol of the divine.

When brahmins perform the elaborate prāṇa-pratiṣṭha rites according to the Āgama/Tantra, then the Supreme Being by dint of his/her omnipresence and omni-benevolence energizes and locates itself within the sacred icon in order to be a link between the two realms of sakala and nishkala.

The Āgama says:–
bhagavat sānidhyam arcakasya tapo balāt
The presence of the Divine in the icon is dependent upon the meditative powers of the attendant priest.

Hindus don’t HAVE to worship anything since we have been gracefully spared any commandments from on high!! We can commune with the Divine as we please without compulsion. We have a far more informal and intimate association with the Lord or lady of the Universe treating Him/Her as our most intimate lover and friend! He/She doesn’t demand from us any worship and gracefully accepts whatever worship we care to offer.

We can recite mantras with the use of rosaries - just like Muslims and Catholics.
We can meditate like the Buddhists and Taoists
We can dance like the dervishes
We can sing like the gospel choirs
We can prostrate and fast like Muslims
We can do all of these or none of these.

The purpose of idols or rather ICONS to be less offensive, is simply to focus the mind.

Our exterior ritual technology consists of 3 basic instruments:—
yantra — geometrical designs
mantras — sacred texts chanted aloud
mūrti — icons of various sorts

Interior spiritual practice is visualization in meditation which is considered the highest of all practices.

Our condolences to all those seekers and devotees who have been constrained and limited in the scope of their spiritual practices! Come and join us and be liberated!!

Is prophet muhammad really mentioned in the vedas ?

prophet muhammad is mentioned in the vedas is claimed  by mr zakir naik alone . His excited dumb followers as well as some dumb sickular Hindus accepted his statements without even cross checking the statements . some Quotations which mr naik exploits is Rig veda 1.13.3 ,1.53.9 and  5.5.2 yajurveda 20.37  there are many more verses like these but here mr naik delibrately chose to exploit is the word ( nara shamsaha which means praised by men) he quotes all the verses in which narashamsa is been mentioned and misleads people by saying its prophet muhammad. vedas contain hymns and verses for devas like  indra ,vayu ,agni etc and there is no specific mention of muhammad . look at the following hymns rig veda 1.13.3 narasamsamhiha priyamasminajna upahvaye | madhujihvat haviskrtam || i kindle the fire in this yagna which is beloved and benificient to people ,the sweet tounged and in which obligations are put. rig veda  5.5.2 narasamsah susu...

Astha digpalakas (introduction)

I wanted to make this series from a very long time . Every God which we worship has an actual presence in this world, it's not about some man controlling the nature from heaven..  Our scriptures always talks about the present forces in colourful form, in our culture creator is always present in the creation. This series of Asta digpalakas are those gods whom are assigned one direction to each and many more signification.  These digpalas are frequently mentioned in the vedas and numerous suktas have been mentioned about them. In modern Hinduism they are been reduced to a directional deities although they have major significance in vastu.  In all major yagnas they are still being invoked and offerings are made for them.  So go through it calmly and slowly , this will make you understand the real meaning behind the puranas and the itihasas.
