My Salutation at the Holy feet of Guru Maa, Her Holinesss Maa Purnananda Ji.

Mind was wandering in thought of eagerness to listen to discourse on “Our Spiritual Heritage” while my travel from Pune to Mumbai.

The wait was over, as HH Maa Purnananda Ji gave darshan at Sree Sringeri Shankara Mutt Sharda Temple.

The discourse began with bhajan ‘Siddhivinayak Namo Namah….’

We all know social heritage, comes to a child from family traditions. Maa Ji explained how being social is not enough for humans. Even animals are engaged in getting food, clothing, shelter. So how are we human beings different from animals, even being called as ‘social animal’. The faculty of Buddhi & Vivek(power of discrimination) makes human different from animal.

Culture & Religion are very important aspects. One cannot be Spiritual, unless he/she is cultured & religious. It takes ages for getting cultured. If one is not cultured, social environment gets contaminated. Culture is mandatory to build a religious environment and one needs to be religious, towards becoming Spiritual.

Our great Saints & Sages gave forms& different attributes to the All-Pervasive Reality in the form of Gods& Goddesses.

Every house must have an Altar & every member of the family must perform his/her daily Puja (Sadhana). One’s mind should focus on one form, to meditate upon.

Every Individual is essentially Divine & Spiritual but has forgotten the True Nature. We must put whole hearted efforts to remove anitya and to think of Nitya (eternally existent Atma).

आत्मात्वंगिरिजामतिःसहचराप्राणाःशरीरगृहं।
पूजातेविषयोपभोगरचनानिद्रासमाधिस्थितिः।।
सञ्चारःपदयोप्रदक्षिणविधिःस्तोत्राणिसर्वागिरो।
यद्यतकर्मकरोमितत्तदखिलंशम्भोतवाराधनम्।।

Service at your Holy Feet

Pranaam Maa!
