Kena Upanishad By Naithrupan



Chapter 4 - Characteristics of Brahman

Uma, the Goddess Parvathi, replied to Indra who enquired to know ‘Who is This Yaksha actually?’ thus: That is Brahman by whose power the battle was won. Only because through this victory, you have thus become great.

Thus Indra had realized the truth behind their victory and glory.
As Indra was the first god to meet and know Brahman, Indra did excel other gods. Fire God and Air God had also excelled other gods like Indra, as they had also met Brahman in the most proximities.


Power of Brahman is enormous and all pervading. Whether in the flash of the lightning, or in the wink of the eyes, the power that is shown is the power of Brahman.
In respect of man, the man’s mind is to be powered by the power of Brahman. For proper propelling of the mind, a man needs to meditate upon Brahman day and night.
Brahman is the adorable being in all beings. Hence, one should meditate as such. He who mediates upon Brahman as such is honored by all other beings.

A disciple asked: O, Teacher! Teach me more of the knowledge of Brahman.

Teacher: O, Disciple! The knowledge of Brahman is most secret knowledge. I will explain to you that secret further.

Brahman’s body is austerity, self-control, performance of duty without attachment.
Brahman’s limbs are the Vedas.
Brahman’s abode is truth.
Anyone who knows this thus, has dispelled the sin.
Brahman is boundless, blissful and highest. Hence such realized soul remains firmly seated with Brahman for ever.
(Kena Upanishad is completed.)

Gandhi Recited Quran Verses in the Temple of Valmiki Basti near Delhi

  Once Mohandas. K. Gandhi was reciting Quran in the temple of Valmiki Basti near Delhi.   Then a woman from the crowd got up and asked Gandhi not to do so. Gandhi asked: Why?   Then that woman said that it is against our religion.    Gandhi said. I don't believe so. ..The woman replied that we do not consider you worthy to give order in religion..   Gandhi said that the vote of the people present here should be taken. The woman replied whether religion could be decided by votes?.   Gandhi said that you are obstructing my religious freedom. The woman replied that you are interfering illegally in the religion of crores of Hindus.   Gandhi said: I wish to listen to the Quran, now.  The woman said: And I will oppose it inside our temple.   And then hundreds of Valmiki youths stood by the side of the woman and started saying that before getting the Quran recited in the temple, show us by reciting Gita or Ramayana in a mosque and then we will allow this.   Seeing the growing protests, G

Carnatic Musicians Aiding for Christian Conversion Efforts – Courtesy: Naithrupan

Nithyashree Mahadevan , Aruna Sairam , OS Arun , Unnikrishnan , Anuradha Shriram , Tippu & Saindhavi – names that you’re most familiar with Carnatic music who are supposed to be a role model for younger generatons .  The above mentioned singers  stooped down to the lowest level possible. They all signed up to sell their music, Thyagaraja Kirthanas to christian mission by simply changing few words and singing in praise of Jesus. It is highly condemnable that they chose to replace the word Rama with Yesu and sang all the kirthanas . It is that same Rama and Krishna who showered their blessings and made them popular and these scumbags have decided to sell our kirthanas to churches who will use them ONLY to do more conversion. What a shame! On the contrary, Isaignani Ilayaraja that he will not score for the movie “ Periyar ” even if he is offered any number of crores – that is conviction! I see some people asking some stupid question “Haven’t we a

Nationalism – National Flag, National Anthem and National Song

Image
Ancient India was called as Bharatavarsa meaning thereby – the country ( varsa ) of Bharata – Emperor Bharata , the son of Shakuntala and Dushyanta Maharaja. Further, Bharata in Sanskrit means Bha – Light and Knowledge and Rata – Devoted and hence Bharata means ‘Devoted to light/knowledge’. In view of such loaded cultural and spiritual background about our ancient country, the constitution of India in its Article 1 (1) confirmed the name of India as Bharat and the actual wording runs thus: “India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States” and hence Bharat is officially acknowledged as the name of our country – though the ‘ sickular liberals’ do not want to acknowledge this fact – but, they want our country to be called as ‘India’ only. Because this name of our country leads to the historical evidence that Bharat’s territories extended to a large parts of present neighboring countries which ancients called as Akhand Bharat, Leftists Leaning Literates and Sicku
