Man's Quest and HinduismBrahmajnana, Yoga
and Dharma are the three essentialities of Hinduism; wherever it
travels, these three must
spread. Shankara's
philosophy may compel the homage of the intellectual, Sankhya attract
the admiration of the analytical mind, Buddha capture the rationalist
in search of a less material synthesis than the modern
scientist's continual Annam Brahma [Matter
is Supreme], but these are only
grandiose
intellectualities. The world
at large does not live by the pure intellect... A goal
of life, a practice of perfection and a rational, yet binding law of
conduct, - these are man's continual quest, and in none of these
demands is modern Science able to satisfy humanity. In reply to
all such wants Science can only cry, Society and again Society and
always Society. But the nature of man knows that Society is not the
whole of life. Yajnavalkya's universal
dictum
stands: a man loves and serves Society for the sake of the Self and not
for the sake of Society.
What Science could not provide, India offers:
Brahman for the eternal goal, Yoga for the means of perfection, dharma
(swabhava-niyatam karma) for
the rational yet binding law of conduct.
Therefore, because it has something by which humanity can be satisfied
and on which it can found itself, the victory of the Indian mind is
assured.
Sri Nagaraj Tanguturu has kindly provided the following information about obtaining the pravachanams
in this page.
If you do like, please try to purchase these from
the source so that you will be contributing to the noble cause (Sri Ayyappa
Temple). Here are the contact details so that you can order whole lot of MP3
cd's. Also another set you can get is from Hyd. I am giving both here.
First source:
BramhaSri Malladi Chandra Sekhara Satri gave excellent talks on Bhagavatam,
Ramayanam, Mahabharatam and Kartika Puranam at Sankara Matt, Hyderabad. He
was their Asthana Kavi and retired at the age of 70 (after 50 years of
excellent service to community by doing research and conveying the
information in the form of Pravachanamulu). Each purana is for 9 days
spanning 10+ hours of talk. Also Sankara Mutt made it very economical.
Each CD with 10+ hours of MP3 cost only 100 rupees. (These talks came to
my life as God Given gift to me, when I visited India).
