Yoga mudrā is where the thumb and the index finger are joined together. yoga: karmasu kauśalam| Yoga refers to jñāna. By showing that yoga mudrā, He conveyed the Advaita tattvā of Jīvabrahmaikya to all. At that time, people could understand it. Later, when He felt it would not work, He broke His maunam, आत्मविद्योपदेशैः त्रातुं लोकान् भवदवशिखा-तापपापच्यमानान् (ātmavidyopadeśaiḥ trātuṃ lokān bhavadavaśikhā-tāpapāpacyamānān) A forest fire – nowadays, they mention fires in Australia and America.

Dharma cintana is the primary factor that helps us to live a life of aṟam (righteousness). Bhārata Deśa is a deśa where countless forms of Dharmā have been practiced for many generations. During the summer, to meet people’s need for drinking water and to relieve the heat, people perform dharmic acts such as setting up water pandals (stations), offering buttermilk, providing fans, and many other services. In the Himalayas, performing a Dharmā called Kāli Kambal Wālā, they provide woolen blankets for those who travel to Badrinath and Kedarnath, so that the bhaktās do not suffer from the cold and can safely get darśan at Badrikeśvaram, Badrinath and Kedarnath. In Kashmir, at Śrī Māta Vaiṣṇo Devī, the temple of Durgā, Lakṣmī, and Sarasvatī stands. Bhaktās go for darśan on horseback, in palanquins, or by walking with a firm saṅkalpa. For those who climb the mountain on foot, there is a marketplace at the base. At the entrance of every shop, a walking stick is kept. Pilgrims climbing the hill can take one of these as a walking aid to reach the temple easily and have darśan of Amman. They may take the stick from any shop entrance and return it at any shop entrance. This is a public Dharmā, practiced collectively by the shopkeepers and traders there to help devotees climb the mountain without strain and have a comfortable darśan of Svāmi and Amman. We should help others and remove their difficulties. Hara Hara Śaṅkarā Jaya Jaya Śaṅkarā #kamakoti #JagadguruVacanam
