Preachers Of Hinduism,Indifferent ‘Greedy For Money’

Till some time back the was this habit of'taking the plate around' among the audience to raise for some noble cause;later it degenerated into collecting money from the audience for the preacher!

Now with Media networks running wild to make quick buck by presenting miish mash of programmes called Religious, popular figures in the filed of preaching are called in.

What they do more is to advertise themselves, distort stories.Philosophy to suit TRP!

Nauseating is their naked lust for money and fame.

Worse is their treatment of people who attend their Pravachanas or Preaching, Kathas.

People come to their Pravachanas or Kathas to know more of the Subject.

They are treated with contempt,; the man does not even acknowledge you or at times if he inclined will tell you rudely'he has no time"

This applies all the Pravachanakarthas including Velukkudi Krishna who is the craze now.

He stares at you indifferently and keeps mum or looks at some body.

But hear his Pravachanas, you would believe he is embodiment of Knowledge, Wisdom,Eager to help people and, as irony would have it,Humble!

I recall Sri Kripanandavariar , great preacher asking people in the midst of a Lecture for their doubts and clearing them on the spot!

If one were to approach him later, he would patiently explain things till he was satisfied that you understood him!

Preachers of Hinduism, what you are doing is not Dharma and you are insulting Hinduism

Note.People might ask me why I have not said anything about Christian Preacher,..

Well...it is their profession sanctioned(?) by their Religion.

Nor I am saying anything about the self-styled Gurus, like Chandrasawmi,Baba Ramdev or the one who teaches the 'Art of Living' as if Hinduism teaches the 'Science of Death!'

These guys should remember what would be their position that if Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, Mahabharata,Yoga had Copyright and IPR!

When Lord Rama Realized He Was ‘Brahman’

One of the differences between the Avatars Rama and Lord Krishna(both being the Avatars of Vishnu) is that Lord Krishna was aware all the time He was the Avatar of Vishnu, while Lord Rama was not aware of it.

Excepting in one instance.

Lord Rama was facing Ravana in the Final battle in the penultimate day before the death of Ravana in the Battle field.

The battle was fierce and both Rama and Ravana were fighting each other fiercely.

Ravana was matching Rama arrow for arrow(Astra) and Castra(Divine Weapons).

Rama got weary and sent his Rama Bana, which can never return unconquered.

There is famous saying about Lord Rama in Telugu,

Oka Mata,Oka Bana, Oka Baarya'

One word, One Arrow, One Wife -That's Sri Rama.

This Rama Bana went screaming at Ravana.

Ravana saw this and realized he could do nothing about it.

He remembered the Sathi Ayudha, given to him by his Grand Father, Lord Brahma, who told him thus,

"In battle field when everything fails for you, you us e this.

Nothing can stop it. It will destroy everything'

Ravana sends it across.

It meets up with the Rama Bana and goes past it towards Lord Rama.

Lord Rama was stunned.

He was helpless.

It was nearing his neck.

Without being Conscious, He utters the Pranava 'Om from His Navel (Nabhi)

Pranava, coming from the Reality, shatters the Sakthi Ayudha.

Rama realizes He is more than the son of Dasaratha, husbanf Sita or the Preceptor of Hanuman.

Ravana recalls the second part of his Grand father's Boon,

' If and when this Sakthi Ayudha fails, understand thatwho is facing yoyu is Para Brahman'

Ravana gets down from his chariot and prostrates before Lord Rama, saying,

' Now In Know You are The Brahman,

I can not win you,

Dying in Your hands will grant me Mukthi.

I can not surrender for people have died, including my brothers and son,s for Me.

I can not sully them'
