But tears at lofty trees, the great

It is the inherent nature each

To produce its own flavour distinctive.

By no man s frown is any man cast down

Up or down, a man rises or falls in life

By the true worth of his actions and conduct

Yet sky and fly are neither this nor that

The true seem often false, the false seem true

Where the tongue is double

You may look for trouble

You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. O man, because you cannot find god in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is no god -page 23

Xxx

May 2 Sunday

He is born in vain, who having attained the human birth, so difficult to get, does not attempt to realise god in this very life page 23

Xxx

May 3 Monday

A man is rewarded according to his thoughts and motives page 23

Xxx

May 4 Tuesday

Man is born in this world with two tendencies—

Vidya, the tendency to follow the path of liberation and

Avidya, the leaning towards worldliness and bondage, page 23

Xxx

May 5 Wednesday

Know the One, and you will know the all. Ciphers placed after the figure 1 get the value of hundreds and of thousands , but they become valueless if you wipe out that figure. page 24

Xxx

May 6 Thursday

There are pearls in the deep sea, but you must hazard all perils to get them . So also in the quest for the Lord, if your first attempt to see Him proves fruitless, do not lose heart. Persevere in the attempt, and you are sure to realise Him at last. Page 26

Xxx

May 7 Friday

As a lamp does not burn without oil,so man cannot live without god. Page 27

Xxx

May 8 Saturday

The Union of the Jivatman with the Paramatman is like the union of the hour and the minute hands of a watch once in every hour. They are inter related and inter dependent, and though usually separate, they may become united as often as favourable opportunities arise. Page 27

Xxx

May 9 Sunday

The soul enchained is man,but when free from the chain (Maya), it is the Lord page27

Xxx

May 10 Monday

The idea of an individual ego is just like enclosing a portion of the water of the Ganges and calling the enclosed portion one’s own Ganges. Page 28

Xxx

May 11 Tuesday

The Self is not attached to anything. Pleasure, pain, sinfulness, righteousness can never affect the Self in anyway. Page 29.

Xxx

May 12 Wednesday

Men are of different natures according to the preponderance of Sattva, Raja’s or Tamas in them. Page 29

Xxx

May 13 Thursday

A Brahmana s son is no doubt a Brahmana by birth; but some of these born Brahmanas grow up into great scholars, some become priests, others turn out cooks, and still others roll themselves in the dust before courtesan s doors. Page 30

Xxx

May 14 Friday

It is true that god is even in tiger; but we must not therefore go and face the animal. It is true god dwells in the most wicked beings, but it is not proper that we should associate with them. Page 31

Xxx

May 15 Saturday

Even at the time of death the ‘bound souls’ speak of worldly matters only. A parrot may ordinarily sing the holy name of Radha- Krishna, but when it is attacked by a cat, it cries out Kang, Kang, its natural cry. Page 31.

Xxx

May 16 Sunday

A man’s rebirth is determined by what he has been thinking about just before death. Devotional practices are therefore very necessary. Page 32

Xxx

May 17 Monday

Siva and Sakti (Intelligence and Energy) are both necessary for creation. With dry clay no potter can make a pot; water is also necessary. So Siva alone cannot create without the help of Sakti. Page 33

XXXX

May 18 Tuesday

As the cloud covers the sun, so Maya hides the deity. When the cloud moves away , the sun is seen again, when Maya is removed, God becomes manifest-35

Xxx

May 19 Wednesday

The cat catches her kitten with her teeth and they are not hurt;but when a mouse is so caught,it dies. Thus Maya never kills the devotee, hough it destroys others.36

Xxx

May 20 Thursday

Woman and gold, remember, keep men immersed in worldliness and away from god.

Xxx

May 21 Friday

As the monkey sacrifices its life at the feet of the hunter, so does a man at the feet of a beautiful woman 39

Xxx

May 22 Saturday

Money can fetch you bread alone. Do not consider it as your sole end and aim. 43

Xxx

May 23 Sunday

As a piece of rope ,when burnt, retains its form,but cannot serve to bind, so is the ego which is burnt by the fire of supreme Knowledge-51

Xxx

May 24 Monday

The knowledge which purifies the mind and heart alone is true Knowledge , all else is only a negation of Knowledge .54

Xxx

May 25 Tuesday

It is easy to utter, sa,re, ga , ma , pa, dha, ni with the mouth, but it is difficult to play them on an instrument. So it is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practise it. 55

Xxx

May 26 Wednesday

In the kingdom of God, reason, intellect and learning are of no avail. There the dumb speak, the blind see, and the deaf hear.55

Xxx

May 27 Thursday

Grantha does not always mean a holy scripture, but often it comes to mean a Granthi or a knot.56

Xxxx

May 28 Friday

He alone is the true teacher who is illumined by the light of true Knowledge, page

63.

Xxx

May 29 Saturday

As water can never soak a piece of stone, so religious teachings can produce an impression on a soul in bondage page 69.

xxx

May 30 Sunday

Water poured into an empty vessel makes a bubbling noise, but when the vessel is full, no sound is heard. Similarly the man who has not found god is full of vain disputation about his existence in nature.but who has seen him, silently enjoys the bliss Divine.

May 31 Monday

When the grace of the Almighty descends on anyone, he immediately understands his mistakes; knowing this,you should not dispute – page 58.

STAR QUOTATIONS FROM THE VEDAS (Post No.8956)

WRITTEN BY LONDON SWAMINATHAN

Post No. 8956

Vedic Hindus were keen observers of the sky. They recorded all the 27+1 stars even before the world started writing in their languages. Some parts of old testament were written in 9^th century BCE. Zend Avesta of Persians came around that time. Latin and Tamil literature came vey late, just 2000 years ago.

Hindus differentiated stars from the planets; stars twinkle and planets don’t. Stars maintain relative distance and remain static, but planets move. Mahabharata beautifully describe the stars as

Nakshatra means the one which does not move- says Mahabharata- na ksharati iti nakshatra-

Shanti parva 290-36.

Rig Veda says,

One of the sages went on observing the sky day and night, says ,

The pure and alert king Varuna presents a heap in the bottomless sky above the world. The rays of light placed inside dome come down though the source or base in above—Rig Veda 1-27-7

Atharva Veda 13-12-17 and 20-47-14 state that

The stars run away with the night, just like the thieves, for the sun to see the world.

The suns are powerful than the moon and the earth is greater than the moon. The moon is kept in the lap of stars- RV 10-85-2 and AV 14-1-2

Rig veda mentioned some stars out of 27 stars.

Agha-Magha and Arjuni ; Revati ; Punarvasu ; Chitra ;

Tishya .

The word

Nakshatra is used in the Rig Veda at 1-5o-2; 10-68-11; 7-86-1

Taitriya Samhita of Black Yajur Veda 4-4-10 gives all the names of the stars. This means that they observed the path of moon and recorded everything even before other cultures started producing literature. Black Yajur Veda is dated before 1000 BCE.

Here is the list; the deity of the ‘nakshatra’ is given in the bracket-

Kritika –-Agni ,

Rohini – Prajapati ,

Mrgasirsa –Soma ,

Ardra – Rudra ,

Punarvasu- Aditi,

Tisya – Brhaspati,

Aslesa – S arpa,

Magha- P itr

Purva Phalguni – Aryama,

Uttara Phalguni- Bhaga,

Hasta – Savitr,

Chitra – Indra,

Svati – Vayu,

Vishaka – Indra , Agni

Anuradha – Mitra,

Jyeshta – Indra

Vichrti – Pitr,

Purva Ashada- Aapa,

Uttara ashada- V isve Devaah,

Srona – Vishnu,

Svavista- Vasu,

Satabhisaja – Indra,

Purva prostapada – Aja Ekapada ,

Uttara Prostapada – Ahirbudhnya,

Revati- Pusan,

Asvayujau- Asvinau,

Apabharani- Yama.

Knowing that moon, sun and earth are in one line they named new moon day as Amaa vasya;

Amaa means together and Vaasya means residing .

Like we have Graha purusa and Vastu Purusa, Varahamihira gives us some information about Nakshatra Purusa:

The FEET of the stellar deity are represented by the star Mula

The LEGS by Rohini

The KNEES by Asvini

The THIGHS by two (Purva/Uttara) Asadas

The PRIVITIES by two Phalgunis (Purva/ Uttara)

The HIPS by Krittikas

The SIDES by Purva and Utthara) Bhadrapadas

The STOMACH by Revati

The BREAST by Anuradha

The BACK by Dhanista

The ARMS by Visakha

The HANDS by Hastha

The FINGERS by Punarvasu

The NAILS by Aslesa

The NECK by Jyeshata

The EARS by Sravana

The MOUTH by Pusya

The TEETH by Svati

LAUGHTER by Sathabishak

The NOSE by Magha

The EYES by Mrgasiras

The FOREHEAD by Chitra

The HEAD by Bharani and

The HAIR by Arudra

Hindus always describe Gods from Foot to Head and human beings from Head to Foot. It is seen in Sangam Tamil and more ancient Sanskrit literature.

12 signs of zodiac (12 Rasis) represent Kalapurusa (Time in the form of a Person). Likewise the 27 Nakshatras are distributed among the limbs of the Nakshatra purusa.
