Hinduisme

Comme la fleur tombe lorsque le fruit se forme, les désirs mondains disparaissent quand naît le détachement. Que la personne vive chez elle ou au fond de la forêt, aucun désir ne peut alors la lier. Celui dont le but est de réaliser Dieu n'attache d'importance à rien d'autre. Il a vraiment compris que rien de physique n'est permanent et que la vraie béatitude est à l'intérieur. Le dévot : Comment ramener le mental à Dieu s'il erre en quête de plaisirs extérieurs ? Amma : Quand il a faim, le chameau mange des buissons d'épines, ce qui lui met la bouche en sang. Si, affamé, vous ne mangez que des piments, parce que vous aimez cela, vous aurez la bouche en feu et l'estomac aussi. Vous vouliez apaiser votre faim, mais il vous faut maintenant en subir les conséquences douloureuses. Ainsi, si nous faisons dépendre notre bonheur des objets matériels, nous finirons toujours par souffrir. Prenez par exemple le musc. Il peut chercher longtemps la source du parfum qu'il respire, il ne la trouvera jamais, car elle est en lui. La béatitude ne vient pas des objets extérieurs. Elle demeure à l'intérieur de nous. Si nous contemplons cette vérité et développons un détachement suffisant, le mental cessera de courir après les plaisirs extérieurs.

The fourth volume of On the Trail of Liberation, the compilation of talks given in Amma's presence, is also the first collection of discourses by some of the international residents of Amritapuri Ashram, many of whom have spent decades with her. The articles in this volume reveal the profound influence that Amma's teachings have had on people from diverse cultures and walks of life. This influence, in turn, indicates the universal relevance of Amma's teachings-of love and compassion towards all, of walking the path of dharma (righteousness), and of respecting and revering Mother Nature, among others.Published By The Disciples Of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Affectionately Known As Mother, Or Amma The Hugging Saint.

"Even greater a miracle than lifting a mountain," says Amma, "is the love the gopis had for Lord Krishna." How did the gopis develop this love? What is it that bound their hearts and minds unconditionally to the divine? Similar is the case with Amma's children.Infinite are the forms that Amma has taken to awaken divine love in our hearts that triumphs all sorrows. In every encounter Amma reveals that even if we may physically be apart, her embrace is eternal.These testimonies by Amma's children from all corners of the world give us a glimpse of the depth of Amma's compassion that transcends all natural and man-made limitations. They echo the immutable truth of Amma's promise to all: "Amma is always with you."Published By The Disciples Of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Affectionately Known As Mother, Or Amma The Hugging Saint.

What is the foremost purpose of life? How ought we to lead our lives? What are the things we must pay attention to daily? What practices ought we to follow every day? How are we to observe festive occasions? How are we to conduct ourselves with our colleagues? What ought to be our attitude to other beings in nature? What principles and practices do nature conservation and environmental cleanliness entail?Amma addresses these as well as ­other contemporary and timeless issues in this book, the second volume of Amritam Gamaya. Her precepts are backed by practice and personal experience; hence their undeniable authority and ability to inspire others and awaken their hearts.May these precious pearls of wisdom enrich your life and help to elevate you spiritually.Published By The Disciples Of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Affectionately Known As Mother, Or Amma The Hugging Saint.

What is the foundation of spirituality? Amma: My dear children, the foundation of spirituality is not blind faith, as some may believe. It is a deep inquiry, an intense exploration within one's own self. Spirituality is about seeking the truth, and the truth can only be discovered through direct experience, through one's own efforts and practice.Amma, can you tell us more about how we can seek the truth within?Amma: The key is to cultivate a sincere and pure heart, to be open to new ideas and experiences, and to be willing to question everything, including your own beliefs and assumptions. Dear children, practice meditation and self-reflection, and seek guidance from those who have walked the path before you. But ultimately, the truth can only be discovered through your own experience.Published By The Disciples Of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Affectionately Known As Mother, Or Amma The Hugging Saint.

¿Nauki Sanatana Dharmy s¿ wiecznie ¿ywymi klejnotami, które riszi bezinteresownie podarowali ¿wiatu, kieruj¿c si¿ wspó¿czuciem.

As with the previous volumes of this series, this, too, is a compilation of talks given in Amma's physical presence. To discourse on the Truth while sitting next to its embodiment can be daunting.It is akin to man telling God the secrets of His creation. It seems presumptuous but it's not so. Being in Amma's sacred presence or even anticipating it is affecting in ways the conscious mind can never quite understand. As Amma puts it, the mind is 'in satsang'-in the presence of the Truth-even while preparing for a talk. The speaker knows that the talk is not the place for self-glorification, because he or she is going to speak in the presence of a Guru, whose very presence spells doom for the ego. But more than being intimidating, being in Amma's presence is a joyful experience. It is deeply intimate, because it is nothing less than a baring of one's soul to the knower of all souls.Sharing one's insights with other children of the Divine Mother is also a form of fellowship with kindred souls who share similar spiritual aspirations. We hope this volume will also bring you, dear reader, closer to Amma-closer to the Truth.Published By The Disciples Of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Affectionately Known As Mother, Or Amma The Hugging Saint.

THE BHAGAVAD GITA is one of the world's most beloved sacred texts. Devotees of the Gita number in the hundreds of millions. Why? The essence of its teaching is that we live (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) in combat on a battlefield (our physical body). Our karmic attachments form a "prison" from which we must struggle to escape through meditation, devotion, knowledge, and action. This translation clings to the original Sanskrit. Frequent translators' notes make it accessible to the beginner and intriguing to the scholar. An introduction, a translators' preface, and two supplementary essays accompany the translation.

"Avatara" is a collection of twenty-eight essays describing bhakti-yoga, the science of self-realization, and Krishna consciousness based off select verses from sacred Vedic texts like Bhagavad-gita, Ramayana, Chaitanya Charitamrita, and others. "The avatara, or incarnation of Godhead, descends from the kingdom of God for material manifestation. And the particular form of the Personality of Godhead who so descends is called an incarnation, or avatara. Such incarnations are situated in the spiritual world, the kingdom of God. When they descend to the material creation, they assume the name avatara." (Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya 20.263-264)

""To the sacred literature of the Brahmans, in the strict sense of the term, i.e. to the Veda, there belongs a certain number of complementary works without whose assistance the student is, according to Hindu notions, unable to do more than commit the sacred texts to memory. In the first place all Vedic texts must, in order to be understood, be read together with running commentaries such as Sâyana's commentaries on the Samhitâs and Brâhmanas, and the Bhâshyas ascribed to Sankara on the chief Upanishads. But these commentaries do not by themselves conduce to a full comprehension of the contents of the sacred texts, since they confine themselves to explaining the meaning of each detached passage without investigating its relation to other passages, and the whole of which they form part; considerations of the latter kind are at any rate introduced occasionally only. The task of taking a comprehensive view of the contents of the Vedic writings as a whole, of systematising what they present in an unsystematical form, of showing the mutual co-ordination or subordination of single passages and sections, and of reconciling contradictions-which, according to the view of the orthodox commentators, can be apparent only-is allotted to a separate sâstra or body of doctrine which is termed Mîmâmsâ, i.e. the investigation or enquiry, viz. the enquiry into the connected meaning of the sacred texts.Of this Mîmâmsâ two branches have to be distinguished, the so-called earlier (pûrva) Mîmâmsâ, and the later (uttara) Mîmâmsâ. The former undertakes to systematise the karmakânda, i.e. that entire portion of the Veda which is concerned with action, pre-eminently sacrificial action, and which comprises the Samhitâs and the Brâhmanas exclusive of the Âranyaka portions; the latter performs the same service with regard to the so-called jñânakanda, i.e. that part of the Vedic writings which includes the Âranyaka portions of the Brâhmanas, and a number of detached treatises called Upanishads. Its subject is not action but knowledge, viz. the knowledge of Brahman.""Vedanta Sutras offers this knowledge to its readers. This edition contains commentary by Sankara and is translated into English by GEORGE THIBAUT.

Diamond atau Jeebankrishna biasa mendiskusikan wahyu seumur hidupnya dengan para pendengar yang hadir di kamarnya setiap hari. Diskusi ini dan interpretasi yoga dari metafora yang digunakan oleh Sri Ramkrishna Deva sebagaimana disebutkan dalam 'Injil Sri Ramkrishna' dicatat oleh beberapa pendengar dalam buku harian mereka. Sejak 1968, ini telah diterbitkan di majalah Bengali 'Manikya'. Setelah itu, saya mengedit dan menyusun ucapan-ucapan ini berdasarkan Upanishad dalam buku-buku Bengali saya dan menerjemahkannya ke dalam bahasa Inggris untuk diterbitkan. Pengungkapan Jeebankrishna sendiri melalui pengalaman pribadinya seumur hidup tentang Veda dan filosofi Vedanta benar-benar merupakan fenomena baru dalam sejarah dunia di dunia spiritual yang akan menunjukkan cahaya baru pada agama konvensional dunia dengan pembentukan kultus Veda lama 'Keesaan' di antara umat manusia dalam jangka panjang.
