Traditional Wisdom Wrút²; std{; ŒtËg JhtrªtctuÆt; > Arise! Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached! An Agnostic’s Kismet July 2011 Vol. 116, No. 7 l mtövhtg& v{r;Ctr; ctjk v{bt‘à;k rJútbtunul bqZbT > ygk jtufUtu ltrô; vh Rr; btle vwl& vwlJoNbtv‘;u bu >> The means for the attainment of the other world does not become revealed to the non-discriminating person who blunders, being fooled by the lure of wealth. One who constantly thinks that there is only this world, and none hereafter, comes under my (Death’s) sway again and again. (Katha Upanishad, 1.2.6) ymwgto ltb ;u jtufUt yàÆtul ;bmt~~J];t& > ;t â T ô;u v{uÀgtrCdåArà; gu fu atÀbnltu slt& >> Those worlds of the demons are covered by blinding darkness. Those who kill the Atman (through the fault of ignorance) go to them after giving up this body. (Isha Upanishad, 3) ymªtuJ m CJr; > ym=Tc{Ñur; Ju= au;T > yrô; c{Ñur; auÅu= > mà;bulk ;;tu rJ=wrhr; >> If anyone knows Brahman as non-existing, he himself becomes non-existent. If anyone knows that Brahman does exist, then they consider him existing by virtue of that (knowledge). (Taittiriya Upanishad, 2.6.1) gtu Jt Y;=Ghk dtÉgorJr=ÀJtôbtÖjtufUtÀv{ir; m f]UvK& y: g Y;=Ghk dtrdo rJr=ÀJtôbtÖjtufUtÀv{ir; m ctÑK& >> He, O Gargi, who departs from this world without knowing this Immutable is miserable. But he, O Gargi, who departs from this world after knowing this Immutable is a knower of Brahman. (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, 3.8.10) PB July 2011 471
This Month No soul, however degraded, is cut adrift from the Divine. This divinity repeatedly keeps tugging at the soul to awaken it from the delusion of alienation and disorientation. Call of the Eternal also indicates why every soul needs to undergo periodic upheavals. Swami Vivekananda just missed meeting The Blessed Baba Raghu nath Das in Ayo dhya, but later told Sister Nivedita what he heard about this soldier turned saint. With added information, this moving story is told by Swami Videhatmananda, editor of the Order’s Hindi journal Vivek Jyoti, published from Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Ashrama, Raipur, in its April and May 2002 issues and translated by Prof A K De. Swami Samarpanananda of the Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda University, Belur, shows in The Five Great Sacrifices: Linking Ancient and Modern Hinduism how the concepts of yajna instituted by the Vedic sages have a profound integrating influence on the personality and society. Natha Pantha: Order of the Primordial Shiva, by Dr Satish K Kapoor, is an in-depth article on this yoga tradition and its main exponents, which prevailed in India’s medieval religion and society. The author is an Ex-British Council scholar and present secretary of Dayanand Institutions, Solapur. Elizabeth Usha Harding of Kali Mandir, Laguna Beach, California, in her narrative Mexico Rising: The Gods Are Alive gives a clearer and deeper picture of Mexico while skilfully drawing similarities with Indian religious history and culture, especially Divine Mother worship. Every religion comprises three levels: the social, the doctrinal, and the spiritual. Harmony of religions should mean harmony on these three levels. Swami Bhajanananda, Assistant Secretary, Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, in this section of Sri Ramakrishna: A ‘New Man’ of the Age – III takes up the third level, the spiritual, and shows Sri Ramakrishna’s great contribution to religious harmony. In the second part of Significance of the Term Putra in Vedic Literature, Kamalika Mazumder, MA in Ancient History and Culture and MPhil in History from Calcutta University, gauges how the Vedic Aryans interchangeably used some words like putra and duhita for offspring in general, but later, with the rise of the military class, were crystallized into ‘son’ and ‘daughter’ respectively. 472 PB July 2011
