‘Aridhu aridhu manidarai pirathal aridhu’ (Being born as a human is a rarity)," in this rare human

As stated in ‘Aridhu aridhu manidarai pirathal aridhu’ (Being born as a human is a rarity)," in this rare human birth, to live a life with noble characteristics, virtuous guṇās (qualities), and bhakti, to understand the compassion in ‘Anbe Śivam’ (Compassion is God, kindness is Lord Śiva, Himself), and live a superior life, sharing that love with others, training, efforts, and the right environment are essential. Living in a way that teaches, imparts, and conveys that training and efforts to all of us—living life with tapas and guṇās as pradhāna (primary) in His lifetime—a life of Viveka, possessing the clarity to discern right from wrong, similar to how a Haṃsa bird can separate the milk from water, classifying notions as beneficial, not beneficial or harmful to the world, adopting the virtuous ones and leaving out the nonvirtuous—MahĀ Periyavā showed by example personally by leading an exemplary life with courage and faith for a hundred years. #Kamakoti #JagadguruVacanam #kanchikamakotipeetam KanchiKamakotiPeetam​ #Hindureligiouscenter​ #kanchipuram​ #periyava​ #hindu​ #brahmin​ #kanchiperiyavaa​ #JayendraSaraswathi​ #shankaracharya #Kamakoti #jagadguruvacanam #upanyasam #hinduscripture #kanchimutt #shankaracharyatemple #kanchikamakotipeetam #sankaracharyar #kanchikamakotipeetam #kanchi #kanchipuram #srirangam #thiruvanaikoil #thiruvanaikovil #thiruvanaikaval #jambukeswaram #trichy #cultural #culturalheritage #culture #history #historical #historyfacts #traditions #traditional #tradition #upanyasam #upanishads #upanyas #upanishad #dharmik #learningvideos #learning #learn #sanskrit #mahaperiyava #acharam #acharya #templesofindia #templefestival #temple #koil #god #godslove #godrama #krishna #vishnu #shiva #shiv #adishankara #adishankaracharya #adishankarar #advaitaphilosophy #advaitavedanta #advaita #devotion #devotional #devocional #devotionalsongs #kidslearningvideos #kidsvideos #kidslearning #kid #kids #kidsvideo #kidssong #kidssongs #kidsfun #kidstv #service #sanatandharma #sanatan #sanatani #india #indian #indianphilosopher #bhakti #bharat #bharath #bhajan

Sevā is not an ordinary word. Sevā is not merely about giving donations or providing for the needy

Sevā is not an ordinary word. Sevā is not merely about giving donations or providing for the needy. Though sevā is a small word in letters, its impact is immense. Sevā comes from mental maturity; only those with an elevated state of mind can truly perform sevā—this is what makes it possible, appropriate, and special. We sometimes use supreme words casually and sometimes consider ordinary words as elevated. Sevā has been performed in many forms. The 63 Nāyanmārs, who came from various social backgrounds, have rendered magnificent service to this world. In 1983-84, when we were traveling from Kurnool and visited the Jalakaṇṭeśvara temple in Vellore, they did pratiṣṭhā of the mūrtis of the 63 Nāyanmārs in the temple prākāra in Periyavās presence. The Āḻvārs too have performed magnificent sevā. Sevā cannot be measured or calculated merely by education. It is performed with pure manas and saṅkalpa śakti and a broad vision that the world should live in happiness. Through tapas, Munis and our ancestors have rendered immense service to this world and have bestowed many significant discoveries. #Kamakoti #Jagadguruvacanam #KanchiKamakotiPeetam​ #Hindureligiouscenter​ #kanchipuram​ #periyava​ #hindu​ #brahmin​ #kanchiperiyavaa​ #JayendraSaraswathi​ #shankaracharya​ #Kamakoti #jagadguruvacanam #upanyasam #hinduscripture #kanchimutt #shankaracharyatemple #kanchikamakotipeetam #sankaracharyar #kanchikamakotipeetam #kanchi #kanchipuram #srirangam #thiruvanaikoil #thiruvanaikovil #thiruvanaikaval #jambukeswaram #trichy #cultural #culturalheritage #culture #history #historical #historyfacts #traditions #traditional #tradition #upanyasam #upanishads #upanyas #upanishad #dharmik #learningvideos #learning #learn #sanskrit #mahaperiyava #acharam #acharya #templesofindia #templefestival #temple #koil #god #godslove #godrama #krishna #vishnu #shiva #shiv #adishankara #adishankaracharya #adishankarar #advaitaphilosophy #advaitavedanta #advaita #devotion #devotional #devocional #devotionalsongs #kidslearningvideos #kidsvideos #kidslearning #kid #kids #kidsvideo #kidssong #kidssongs #kidsfun #kidstv #service #sanatandharma #sanatan #sanatani #india #indian #indianphilosopher #bhakti #bharat #bharath #bhajan

It was stirring and churning by asking Arjunā questions repeatedly

It was stirring and churning by asking Arjunā questions repeatedly. Similar to how अरणि निर्मन्थनम् (araṇi nirmanthanam - churning the twig) produces fire and how we churn to get navanītam (butter), as stated in दुग्धं गीतामृतं महत् ( dugdhaṃ gītāmṛtaṃ mahat), पार्थो वत्सः सुधीर्भोक्ता दुग्धं गीतामृतं महत् (pārtho vatsaḥ sudhīrbhoktā dugdhaṃ gītāmṛtaṃ mahat), and सर्वोपनिषदो गाव: दोग्धा गोपालनन्दनः ( sarvopaniṣado gāva: dogdhā gopālanandanaḥ) - (All the Upaniṣads are the cows and Lord Kṛṣṇa is the one who milks them, Arjunā is the calf, the devotees are the consumers of the great nectar of Gītā), the Bhagavad Gītā is the sāram (the essence) of the Upaniṣads. It depicts people's mindsets — it helps our mindsets not to regress or wander to the whims of our manas, enabling us to acquire a mature mindset. It has conversation - प्रश्न -प्रतिवचनम् (praśna - prativacanam - questions - answers), which is an interesting assertion. They now say the pleasure of teaching. They use the term Katrathil Inimai (pleasure of learning) in Tamil Nadu, which means learning effortlessly. Looking at that perspective, in the Bhagavad Gītā, He has imparted the Tattva upadeśā of Advaita elegantly. Starting with food, listing many varieties, such as rājasa, tāmasa, and sāttvika, without nirākaraṇa (rejection) of anyone, He gives pravēśa (entrance) to all without stating only first class will be allowed and no room for second class or third class. After that, with the fixing of grades and going to different levels, the Bhagavad Gītā has yathārtha (reality) and paramārtha (supreme truth). That is yathārtha, vastu sthiti — ground reality, and there is reality itself. He has given us both of these together. There cannot be a more natural upadeśa than this. #Kamakoti #Jagadguruvacanam #KanchiKamakotiPeetam​ #Hindureligiouscenter​ #kanchipuram​ #periyava​ #hindu​ #brahmin​ #kanchiperiyavaa​ #JayendraSaraswathi​ #shankaracharya​ #Kamakoti #jagadguruvacanam #upanyasam #hinduscripture #kanchimutt #shankaracharyatemple #kanchikamakotipeetam #sankaracharyar #kanchikamakotipeetam #kanchi #kanchipuram #srirangam #thiruvanaikoil #thiruvanaikovil #thiruvanaikaval #jambukeswaram #trichy #cultural #culturalheritage #culture #history #historical #historyfacts #traditions #traditional #tradition #upanyasam #upanishads #upanyas #upanishad #dharmik #learningvideos #learning #learn #sanskrit #mahaperiyava #acharam #acharya #templesofindia #templefestival #temple #koil #god #godslove #godrama #krishna #vishnu #shiva #shiv #adishankara #adishankaracharya #adishankarar #advaitaphilosophy #advaitavedanta #advaita #devotion #devotional #devocional #devotionalsongs #kidslearningvideos #kidsvideos #kidslearning #kid #kids #kidsvideo #kidssong #kidssongs #kidsfun #kidstv #service #sanatandharma #sanatan #sanatani #india #indian #indianphilosopher #bhakti #bharat #bharath #bhajan

Bhaktās revere Gaṅgā,Yamunā & Sarasvatī & especially Sarasvatī. Prayāga Mahātmya describes Sarasvatī

Bhaktās revere Gaṅgā,Yamunā, and Sarasvatī, and especially Sarasvatī. Prayāga Mahātmya describes Sarasvatī, the embodiment of jñāna, manifesting as Praṇava Svarūpa in the Triveṇi. Among the three syllables, sarasvatī represents one of them. The Triveṇi is also regarded as the Veda Bīja (seed of the Vedas). Thus, bhaktas should participate in the Sarasvatī Pushkara festival, perform arghya pradāna (offering sacred water), and engage in dāna-dharma. Homās will be conducted. As per tradition, the Chidambaram Dikshitars will perform the Vaidika rituals for this festival. During this Pushkara festival, everyone should seek the darśan of Kumārila Bhaṭṭa, Ādi Śaṅkarā, Kāmākṣī Amman, Sahasra Liṅga, and Vēṅkaṭēśvara Svāmi, and visit the Vēṇi Mādhava temple, adhering to our cultural traditions and upholding svarūpa (true nature), svadharma (individual duty), and svabhāva (inherent disposition), all three effectively. Some actions should be performed in a specific way at specific kṣetras. We should go on kṣetra yātrās adhering to those rules and become pātrās (worthy recipients) of Sarasvatī’s anugraham. There is a temple called Siddheśvara Temple. Siddheśvara Aṣṭakam is the śloka Maha Periyava composed during the years 1933-34 when He stayed there. Bhaktās should chant the Siddheśvara Aṣṭakam and perform all their pūjās diligently, seeking the anugraha of Pārvatī Paramēśvara and Sarasvatī Devī. अम्बि॑तमे॒ नदी॑तमे॒ देवि॑तमे॒ सर॑स्वति । अ॒प्र॒श॒स्ता इ॑व स्मसि॒ प्रश॑स्तिमम्ब नस्कृधि ॥ (ambitame nadītame devitame sarasvati | apraśastā iva smasi praśastim amba nas kṛdhi || ) #Kamakoti #Jagadguruvacanam KanchiKamakotiPeetam​ #Hindureligiouscenter​ #kanchipuram​ #periyava​ #hindu​ #brahmin​ #kanchiperiyavaa​ #JayendraSaraswathi​ #shankaracharya​ #Kamakoti #jagadguruvacanam #upanyasam #hinduscripture #kanchimutt #shankaracharyatemple #kanchikamakotipeetam #sankaracharyar #kanchikamakotipeetam #kanchi #kanchipuram #srirangam #thiruvanaikoil #thiruvanaikovil #thiruvanaikaval #jambukeswaram #trichy #cultural #culturalheritage #culture #history #historical #historyfacts #traditions #traditional #tradition #upanyasam #upanishads #upanyas #upanishad #dharmik #learningvideos #learning #learn #sanskrit #mahaperiyava #acharam #acharya #templesofindia #templefestival #temple #koil #god #godslove #godrama #krishna #vishnu #shiva #shiv #adishankara #adishankaracharya #adishankarar #advaitaphilosophy #advaitavedanta #advaita #devotion #devotional #devocional #devotionalsongs #kidslearningvideos #kidsvideos #kidslearning #kid #kids #kidsvideo #kidssong #kidssongs #kidsfun #kidstv #service #sanatandharma #sanatan #sanatani #india #indian #indianphilosopher #bhakti #bharat #bharath #bhajan
