We have flown in the unbeaten flow of the Indian cultural values i.e. samsakar. While going with this flow it is the moral responsibility of every creation to preserve the moral values (samsakar) built at the shore. The utmost focus of a marital duty is; to appropriately pass on the cultural values to the next generation that has been conveyed hereditarily to them and also ensure that the subjects of discoveries are kept intact. As we grow older, efforts should be put to improvise these cultural values.

Life is ever flowing, always moving. Due to this motion, there is progression. It is the mother earth who has been witnessing this progression of the motion of life. She has been bearing all of us within her. Her resolute is to possess us; it is her doing, her karma.

While we transit on her, what is it that we possess in us? If we are bearing just our bodies, it cannot be our courage. If we are holding dharma (righteousness) and if say that dharma possesses the progeny then it becomes a subject of communal dharma. Dharma cannot be an individual bearing or possession. An individual dharma is nothing but a mere sense of duty.

The dharma of the Stone Age man was just an act done for the livelihood. However, today when the human has evolved from that stage and is now facing the sun, we realize that the transition from the Stone Age man to the urbanized civilized human is also the dynamism dharma of the earth. Although our brain considers the evolvement of the journey up to this stage to be superior, still the ingenious journey of human ideological maturity proves to be competent to drive him towards his purpose. It also reveals that the means of this journey has become the source of some or the other samskar.

While we are holding the hands of the enriching cultural education and calling ourselves as cultured, are we aware about the fundamentals of the pious cultural practices? If not, we need to make attempts to get the self-realization of such cultural practices. Worldly welfare cannot be the basic principle of the cultural education. Every human, along with a peer has to synergize to make this earth peaceful, healthy, stainless and prosperous. We can strongly say this is one of the meanings of the culture.

The word samskars' ubiquity is lingering all over the universal circumference.  It is a circle which is waiting for the right medium to withhold it. If we break this word, “San” means together. “San Gachavam” which means walk together with one thought, together gain the spiritual concentration i.e. dhyaana. As the mantra says “sahnavvatu…sahnav bhunaktu”, samskar is the thought of being together, achieving together.

The dot on ‘Sa’ in samskar word represents the centrifugal force and implies that all of us who are bearing different set of bodies will stay together through our minds, our thoughts. The dot represents the container of the power of togetherness. In the voluminous society, the involvement of the minds in the form of dot (centre) is the meaning of the word ‘Sa’.  For those who are well-versed in Vedas, ‘Saha’ and ‘Sam’ (i.e. togetherness) forms the biggest goal.

‘Don’t be with me as a mere body, but if you join the sacrifice for nature (ShrushtiYadnya) along with the body, mind/thoughts and  soul as well, only then can you hold the hands of the social-man and proceed towards the ultimate path of the universal welfare’, so conveys the gist of Veda to the society.

Which is the route for the ultimate welfare? What is the purpose of it? What would be achieved from the outlook of being united (Saanghik bhavana)?

The victual of marital duty is to be along with those who have the extensive experience of these aspects and experience the knowledge received in such good company. The methods of Dharma (Duty), Artha (Material Prosperity or Meaning), Kaam (Lust) and Moksha (Liberation) studied by our ancient sages, witnesses the maturity of the Indians. We should remember that the person, who is sanctified and renounces the worldly ties and possession, has been given birth through the marital bonding itself. Similarly a sage has the responsibility to teach the moral rules to those who are bond in the marital nuptial. 

The ancient sages have taken up their role after much study & reflection, for providing this contribution to the society. Within a short span of the human life, he alone cannot complete any task by himself. Therefore lineage (gotra) was created based on the collective and united purpose of the groups.

Lineage means Gotra. “Go” also means voice, muscles, eyes, earth and ‘Tra’ means 3 methods of receiving or storing spiritual knowledge. While storing, who also carries out the process of collection, churning, growth (chayan, manthan and vardhan), he moves into gotra. Meaning, while storing his spiritual knowledge he tries to gather more information, tries to blend the information received and makes it grow enters the Gotra.  That becomes his lineage. Kul means mark, symbol.

The samskar or the moral rules originally set by sages, whose existence, is still visible through the GOTRA. The next stage of Gotra is “Pra”. This is the stage where the group in that gotra has followed the culture of the specific gotra.By getting influenced by the Gotra principle, the society continuously collected and churned the spiritual thoughts and has got this far. This was the study-samskar of the teachings.

Few notes and few numerical mathematics of this sanskar was imbibed in the genes of the individuals and spread across to the descendents in the form of moral values of the ascendants, established religious practices of the lineage. When the era of study (adhyayan) was not in a symbolic, written state, from that time study of Vedas, pondering, aphorisms, hymns,  rites & observances started growing through the existing series of sound-mediation, sound-vibration-mediation, moral values.

We seem to have lost this study which our ancestors kept on preserving for a significant time through their knowledge & memory, into their brains and their intellect. This has happened due to our incapability to toil hard and make efforts towards preserving them. Thus it became the broken chain of the cultural heritage.We have become devoid of the values where in we first understand a subject appropriately, hear it carefully, blend it appropriately and send it to the memory. This has happened just because of giving undue, unrealistic importance to the worldly pleasures and knowledge.

What we hear today is spoken through vaikhari vani, which means grossest level of speech, the speech that comes from the external sense organs. However do we hear anything through the subtle madhyama (i.e. the sound that comes from the heart, or the mental speech), or through the pashyanti (i.e. finest impulse of speech) or through the paravani (an unvibratory condition of sound beyond the reach of mind and intelligence, only to be realized by great souls)? Today’s teacher speaks using the grossest level of speech which is vaikhari. Even in this given situation, a real student can gather the knowledge coming through paravani while the teacher is teaching through vaikhari language, by understanding the finest vibrations coming out of the words spoken. The nature is always eager or excited to give the knowledge to its creation, hence it transcends the words said in vaikhari language to the paravani language by creating vibrations. Whatever be the medium, if there is a readiness to gain knowledge by merging of the individual self into the universal self, the vibrations can become available at that place. ‘Na Hi Dnyanena Sadrusham Pavitramiha Vidyate’ thus Sri Krishna has said in Mahabharata.

Beyond all these speeches, there is one more creator of natural vibration. Through these vibrations, any of the speech-memory can go beyond the human hearing limitations and activate the intention of the universal vibrations present in the human body and five elements. When the tutor and the spiritual teacher get connected with the accomplisher or the student with the help of these vibrations, they can transmit the knowledge of the intention of nature to the student, using the sound, eyes, skin, breath etc. that are beyond the paravani. This happens beyond the Paravani! Hence “Param” means ‘beyond the sound that can reach the mind and intelligence’. From here “Parampara” starts.

This Parampara, unknowingly induces the moral values in the venerable lineage (gurukul) through the dashendriya (five organs of senses), karmendriya (the organs of action) and dnyanendriya (organs of knowledge). Samskar or the morals within you can be understood through your mannerism. From any of your smallest behavior, your frequency can be understood. A spiritual teacher can understand what sort of moral values are set within us, through our thought process, through the five element of speech from Parampara to Vaikhari.

That creation who takes the knowledge from within the parampara, his life starts becoming more intellectual. The biggest benefit of his intelligence is that the country starts becoming prosperous and the exploration of the moral values is maintained. Only such a student can become a disciple. Love towards the motherland becomes his prime duty and finally this becomes his purpose of life. Such group of students-turned-disciples, taking the path of national uplift and progress, would bring to surface the united society’s thinking-abilities and make the country honorable.

Taking inspiration from the lineage of sages we need to make attempts to keep performing gratified tasks and make the human race superior. The work done by the students by leaving aside the matters revolving around the self and diverting everyone towards the universal matters, determines the flow of the principal founders. But has this become conveyed to us by our lineage? Only those who have understood this can speak about the founder principles of the Gotra. Else it would be a bare, meaningless discussion about the symbol given to identify the lineage.

‘Samskar’ word cannot be a general word. It has an in-depth meaning to it. It involves ‘San’ + ‘Kar’, Sah (together) + ‘kar’, ‘Om’ + ‘kar’. San means Sah i.e. together, which has already been described earlier. ‘Ka’ also has varied meanings. For the current subject, we will consider the meanings as sound, light, unite. ‘Ra’ is a wave. Like in the word ‘Naad’, if we include the consonant ‘Ra’, the word NaRad is formed. This means when the ‘naad’ (musical sound) reaches the stage of waves, it becomes NaRaD.

As per the dictionary ‘Kaar’ means perform, action, attempt, authority, owner and ‘Sam’ means together, strive along with others, attain the ownership. With this attachment, from the words like omkar, we can study the meaning of sound-vibration of the 16 sanskars.

The universal course teaches principles of sacrifice to the human race. The period of the 16 digits of the moon, constructs the road for the growth of the 16 samskars in the living bodies. While working on this path, the social institute instructs humans walk on the path of activist duty.

Holding on to the sixteen streaks of the moon; he takes the victuals from the fellow travelers who have taken the path towards infinity. The life which is crawling now starts standing up and then on he starts walking. His naming ceremony takes place to bring an identity to him in the worldly business. Based on the position of the moon and stars during his birth, his name is decided. Amongst the 52 matruka(divine mothers), 1 matruka comes forward to nurture him. Through the ‘Nishkramana’ ritual, equilateral life of the world, the Sun-God, is shown to the child. For the progress of life, he is presented before the paramatma (God) who is every present as a witness to the whole process.

His first and foremost “Friend” nurtures the root-parts. He gets the 'ability to see' (chakshu) from the moon-matruka and the God Arka. When he becomes self-reliant, he feels the need of flavors. The disorders due to foulness in the mother’s womb are removed, his nourishment starts with the intake of food. Through Chudakaran ritual (where the child has his first hair cut or tonsure) growth of strength, life and brightness takes place. 

Through the threading ceremony, he gets the third eye and moves to the “dwija” i.e. second birth wherein he becomes eligible for getting the gyana (knowledge). He indulges his life completely into his studies and then moves into the marital life. In this marital life he is ordered to carry out sanctified acts along with his wife, so as to give birth to good sons who would indulge in uplifting of the society and the motherland.

He gets a chance to serve his forefathers, through the offering done in memory of the dear departed, tarpan(libations of water) rituals. By doing so he gets a chance to purify his lineage and express gratitude. He gives birth to the enlightened sons like Ramkrishna, Vedavyaas, Shrikrushna, Shankaracharya and moves towards living in forest (vaanprashthaaashram = the fourth stage of life). The hermitage rule of life motivates the person to enter into the renunciation phase of life. He starts living out of pledge.

This is how the moral values of the human life are provided to the living. Amongst the ancient sages, Gautam maharishi 40, Angira 25, Vedvyaas 16, Manu 13, Paraskar Gruhasutre 12, in this way each sage has written the mystery of the samskar that they have experienced through their study. This experienced study of the sages is guiding the human race through varied channels. The investigation and order given by Mahrashi Yadnyavlakya is very thought-provoking.

When the universe was created, it was in a form of a dot. When series of actions took place, it started growing, moving ahead. Due to its constant movement, it gave rise to vibrations and waves. More and more actions and processing took place on them. The well-connected state of those actions is the samskar done by nature on us.

The highest momentum of this samskar travels from tempo (laya) to “pra” lay i.e. progressive tempo. We exist in a specific rippling tempo; therefore, it is our duty to take forward this tempo to be more progressive. To refuse to raise this tempo means moving out from the liveliness of the family life.

Not to act in this direction means losing our rights of livelihood. This is our birth-right. This has to be passed-on to the next generation, the ripples have to be maintained, by which we can reach the ultimate end appropriately. It is like getting absorbed in the nature, in the GOD.

While doing so, a human himself polishes his own progress. Every sage has to be gratified for his meditative study. The sun, moon, planets are all bound together in a specific tempo. Even if we do not want motion, we will have to keep moving as we live on those cosmic powers which are constantly moving. Family, society and nation are also bound in a similar tempo.

While staying in the society, intersection of community and commerce is required for better arrangements. We have started assuming the common reactions to be the moral values, due to which we are unable to understand the finer meanings of it. While staying in a family - distribution of work, while living in a society – cooperation, while living in a nation – sacrifice, are the finest, minutest moral values to be nurtured.

Not only this, but Indians have done research on what rituals have to be done on departure from the body, what should be the mental state before and after that moment. This has been included in the samskar. This depicts the in-depth thoughtful progress of the Indian ancestors.

Why does a human come on this planet and again while leaving this universe whether he has no progress in thoughts, or is just progressive, then the person who is leaving moves towards destruction (vicar). Instead of getting destructed, with the help of samskar, getting absorbed in Omkar(Lord) is the expectations of the ancient researchers.

The tempo of the breath between period of birth and the departing of the body means ‘Nature’! The way the nature has made us is ‘Prakrut’, present with us now.  Deeds done for converting that which is present, to something beneficial is called ‘Sanskrut’.  When the present is refined further, making the study to be qualitatively beneficial is the responsibility of a teacher, student, disciple, society and parents.

The wheat is first polished (i.e. made sanskrut) and then refined (parishkrut), so that we can make use of it for eating. The journey of refining that which is given to us by nature is called ‘Samskara’.

All the components of the nature can be made useful by a knowledge full person. The river water flowing in the mountains can be made available in each household by using canals and would be useful for many purposes. Deriving such benefits is the sanskruti of the human, as sanskruti becomes noticeable only through its beauty, wealth and decency.

Sanskruti sows its seeds of progress at the river banks. It can be observed that things that are found through appropriate digging leads the humans towards growth. We say we have achieved scientific progress, however this progress is a gift given to us by the nature. Nature is purely scientific. The river is a critical medium that links all the living objects together. History says that all polishing of the living race has started at the banks of the rivers. The flourishing life and moral values is the gift provided in our lives by the rivers through its course of flowing. Anciently the human race never stored anything. Whenever he got thirsty he drank water from the rivers, whenever he felt hungry he quenched his hunger by eating fruits, vegetables and animals. This was the innocent natural way of living. However when he started progressing, refining, he sensed the need of storing things.

He started fearing about if he would get the food, the bait out of hunting, which he got today. The moment such fear engulfed him; nature withdrew its support towards him. This was the first distrust that he showed towards the nature. This distanced him from the original source of breath. With the human progress, came the distrust towards the nature.

He started storing. This meant he started moving from extensiveness to being limited. He started building houses, storing water, food grains and doing similar actions. That moment provoked the need to build moral values in him. It was at this stage that he had to start baking chapatti out of wheat!

Before this, the fruits, food and the hunted animals would satisfy his basic requirements. As he stopped living in the outline of the intrinsic moral life, he started feeling the need of building up moral values. Then-on many religions, castes, creed, languages, differences got created. When we study all the different religious thoughts, we would realize that even if the acts, tasks, sacred places and such outwardly things differ, still the purpose behind those virtues are same across all the religions.

The sages of the Vedic period considered the theory of rebirth, did extensive research on the life and death cycle and studied all his capabilities and incapability. Looking back at the historical era we would find many symbolic monuments carved in the woods using the stone. Using these symbols he can trace back the small footprints of human progress left behind in the history.

Similarly, we have also found that the prayers of all religions are the same. The sprouting of the seeds of society in this manner is the gratefulness about the future which is yet to come. Human cannot live forever. That which is born, also dies. This gives an opportunity to the humans to live a good living.

What happens after the body is sacrificed? What is this universe? What could be the intention of this universe? What are the ways in which we can search the unknown until we have life? Many scriptures (shashtra) have been written to understand this. ‘The knowledge of Death’ is a big subject and the role of the samskar was set up to this subject. ‘Nachiket Aakhyaan’ is the highest level of study on this subject.

This entire journey reached here, however is there a need to recreate the moral values? The characteristic of the river is to change along with every eon, with every time. Humans have dwelled at her shore, yet don’t seem to have adapted her characteristics. By simply praising the ancient moral values we have distanced away from the departed eons and have almost reached the far existing substitutes. In such moment, transformation just becomes impossible. The inhuman and narrow-minded thoughts based on religion, caste, creeds have to be changed and we should make attempts to make this change possible.

We have to consider that, if every person starts building-on rules at the personal level based on each one’s assumptions, the well connected progressive actions will get disturbed. The self-centered family concepts will start spreading across the society. The idea of having the whole world as one family (Vasudheva Kutumbh) would come to an end.

The social ritual of pleasing God’s through sacrificing specific animals is a mental handicap. Such groundless theories built on personal experiences cannot become respectable. The spirituality developed due to fears feeds misunderstandings. Due to this the historical scriptures have started getting worn out.

Including the rituals like cutting a goat during threading ceremony or cutting a chicken during the ear-piercing ceremony, is purely to satisfy the taste buds. Such rituals have not been written in the scriptures at all. People who didn’t understand the scriptures have formed these rituals to improvise their business for the sake of livelihood.

The down-fall of the society has been going on due to such destructive theories. Incorrect messages about nature and God have got spread in the society. We have completely surrendered to such rituals rather than the scriptures. Fear, Hunger, Distrust all such factors have disrupted the scriptures through the medium of rituals.

Due to this there is a need to think-over the recreation of the ancient scripture. Many descendents will have to toil hard towards this and they should do it. This is because only such acts of atonement can purify him from the mistakes done.

We have to go against the current flow to rebuild the scriptures (shastras). Holding hands of the ancient dharma we have to rebuild the ancient thoughts and views. Who could give a true support for this? If there is something whose hands can be held for support while going against the flow, then it is the scientific theories along with the study of the ancient sages.

The appropriate study of the universal calculation can make us understand many of the universal facts. Like, the leaves of the any tree are grown in a particular direction i.e. if say one is in north the other would be grown in south direction. This consistency is the consistency of life, moral life!

Like how the picture is created out of different colors, similarly, rituals done as per the Vedic procedures during pregnancy is useful for gaining the spiritual knowledge. By undergoing such rituals a beautiful sculpture of life gets created. This is a process of building good values in life.

There are multiple philosophies of goodness within us. Can we work on them as well? Amongst the conduct mentioned in the scriptures, listening samskar has been given a lot of importance. Could it be a possibility that through the mantras (hymns) it converts the sound waves into sparks of lights and could be helpful in the transition of philosophies of the human life? The above theory is made evident in the Heisenberg’s argument about ‘looking/glaring brings changes in electrons’. Recently during the inventions on light theory it is brought forth that by looking at the atoms there is a movement observed.

Amongst the investigations done on the subject ‘The transformation in the atoms due to the Sezian winds’, the finding that the accidental atoms holds the thoughts before it gets a pace has been a extraordinary investigation. Considering samskar as rudimentary and not following it, is a loss to us. A fresh study has to be started on this.

‘Birth of a child’ is a extraordinary event in this universe. A pot is developed from another pot. This is the subtle meaning behind the ‘Ghatasthapana’ festival of Navratri. Hence it is the festival of motherly-debt. A human lives in the womb of the mother for 9 months and for the rest of his life he breathes in the womb of the mother earth and is nurtured by her. This contemplation done by ancestors proves to be the biggest obligation for a human.

A child separates from his mother’s womb and enters a new world. At that very minute if the child is embraced by his mother and is kept intimately united with his mother’s heartbeat, such a child would become extremely fearless. The child while in the womb attempts to connect to the outer world through this heartbeat. Scientists have done an amusing experiment on this. When an egg was ready to be hatched, it was separated from the hen. The chicken was almost ready to come out. The moment it pricked the cover and came out, a balloon was kept in front of it.  It was the first scene that he saw in the outer world. It started playing throughout the day along with the balloon. At night, it slept with its neck affectionately kept on the balloon.

The first picture seen by the child in this world is embossed in the brain of that person and in his life. The memory of the five sensory elements is most active at that stage, but it is not strong.

Chaos, lot of people gathered around, strong light, disapproving talks, worldly discussions, unruly voices, unnecessary touches blocks the sensation capabilities i.e. panchendriyas of the baby. His sensation capabilities are not strong, as he is in the mother’s womb for a long time. Hence he should have the touch of a mother optimally. The baby and mother feel assured in each other’s company.

Scriptures say that the mother and the new born should stay in a house moped with mud and having a dim light. Such modesty is defined to avoid the blow of light, sound, environment, pollution on the new born baby. The thoughts of the ancient Indians while building the role of the moral values has been therefore termed extraordinary! Even today we Indians are intellectual and wise due to this parampara. We keep showing the superiority of knowledge and understandings to the world. Even if people with such knowledge & understanding are very few, still their importance is being felt. However recently we have started doubting on our own spiritual knowledge due to some kind of fear and have started considering ourselves inferior. Maybe this deep slumber has been caused due to the years and years of slavery.

King Janaka set the example that even the wealthy ruler of the empires in India can live a life of a sage while ruling the empire. Why can’t that Janak flow like an obsession(januk) throughout the body like the river of blood?  Worshiper of courage along with knowledge, exhibitor of the need of strength along-with intelligence, having the wandering ascetic Swami Samarth; Shivaji Maharaj’s ideals are in front of us, still we just take the dust of his footprints and have been rotting many generations in just touching the feet of such idols.

Due to our incapability to emboss honorable imprints on the pages of history with those honorable imprints, we have started seeing the downfall of the nation. History is a witness to the fact that a nation which has a past written in golden words cannot live long. The bleeding footprints shred out of hard exhausting work for the motherland can only lead us on the path towards ULTIMATE (PARAMATMA). After certain era, we would find these pages of history that are written in golden words, dumped into the mud.

Mr. G.B.Dandage has said that ‘Every moral value has to be understood after prolonged study. The complete life is the self-radiance, it is a prolonged process of following the nature, which we believe, is also understood with such study. The study has elements from conceiving up to the end of life, where in its role is just development. The essence of adding (Ishti) sacrifice to the word samskar( moral values), is the pinnacle of the ancient thoughts.

The illusion of the progressive life is not only present in the important moral values, but also in the day-to-day worship. Our body is the only medium to do all kind of activities in this world. There was a stern rule that it should have extremely pure capabilities. For this, polluting contact was prohibited. However we are all aware of how this ritual has changed to such filthy level of caste-ism.

In most of our rituals and in the day-to-day forms of prayers, use of nyaas (pressure points) has been conveyed. Nyaas (pressure points) is an invocation of divine power in the different parts of our body. This is not only the prayer for protection of the different parts of the body but a prayer towards the specific Gods to stay in those specific parts for performing specific tasks. Same thoughts are invoked during the different rituals after a child’s birth like providing eye-sight of goodness (gunanchi drushti dene),   washing-off all flaws (doshmarjan), gunadhaan, hinangapurti which is the chemistry derived out of the mother’s touch through her pressure points to the child. It is the result of the values set in the mind of the child along with his entire unpolluted body. The mother who doesn’t understand this competently, would in a way give birth to an animal. Because the Veda says, ‘A child born without a resolve needs to be called an animal’.  Along with the molding done to the child through rituals, a mother is also getting molded through ‘Navjanma samskar’, as she is also getting a new birth. One cannot forget that it is a result of the birth of Vyas muni who was the child of Sage Parasar and Mother Satyavati. When the mother embraces a child, she passes vibrations which spread in the child’s body, through the touch pressure points. Due to this the child becomes fearless. At this juncture the child gets assured. He confidently faces the outer world, which is required. After that the mother should keep the child on the ground. Touching the ground means touching the roots. As soon as the bare baby touches the ground, the mother should whisper in his ears, “Child, I have given you a bodily birth. I may be your mother by such birth but that is restricted for a specific period. Your true mother is this ‘mother earth’, who is going to henceforth bear you throughout your life. I have borne you only for 9 months. You should always remember that I have not given you a birth so that you become my support during my old age, but I have given you birth so that you strive towards the progress of this mother earth.”

Then she needs to remember all god-goddess and sages and dedicate the baby in the arms of the mother earth. The biological mother prays to the mother earth, “O divine mother, I am dedicating this child to you. May he boost your honor. I have given birth, but you are the birth-place, who gives the first learning to boost your honor as high as the heaven. For the growth of the rich honor of entire nation, you take the custody of the child and bring him up. A human has to labor hard to churn sandalwood out of his body and apply this bodily sandalwood on the foreheads of the God for building this honor. There would be bitter-sweet experiences in life. You will give him the capability to digest the bitter memories smilingly with an innocent childish nature.  O divine mother, I am offering sacrificial sticks of my ‘New birth ritual’ in the sacrificial fire for nature.”

|Om Rashtraya Swaha, Rashtraya Idam Na Mam|

By this extraordinary sacrifice, the mother and the baby both gets free from the debt. The secret mark of re-births becomes firm.  In the true sense both become one. She is a true mother, who gains the first right of giving samskar to the baby and in turn taking the samskar. The philosophies of life of those who were well-versed in the Veda was extra-ordinary.

The foundation of the human life should be based on sacrifice. Because all animals other than humans stays in groups for the purpose of security!  Humans stay in group for progression, for sacrifice. Indians presented this idea through the five sacrifices defined by them. Brahma-yadnya, Deva-yadnya, Pitru-yadnya has conveyed the personal conduct. Manushya-yadnya, Bhut-yadnya has proven to be sacrificial through the social conduct.

The word ‘Yadnya’ implies sacrifice of the body made out of five elements. With the changing times, the faces of the Gods keep changing. The central resolve of the sacrifices keep moving. In the current time, the central resolve of sacrifices should be to carry out the noble task of understanding, to those who misbehave with the nature. When the nation is getting insulted through vain encroachment of rites and observances from Himalaya to the sea, we would be equipped to bring the flow of one national thought-process. This would be the national-sacrifice offered to the mother earth by every household mother. The mother earth always asks for the fresh martyrdom of her children. We don’t see the children moving steadily from childhood to adulthood. Now-a-days they are seen to grow just to become worn-out. The count of youth is high on this land. The motherland is not so lifeless that she doesn’t understand this count. However those living creatures who do not understand her inner sensation, her tears, how can they be called a human, a youth. Youth makes the country rich. But, the extinguished flames of moral values in every house, the deep darkness of thousands of years, the conversion of family arrangement into graveyard, the immobility due to the state of fate – is desperately waiting for an incarnate, all this is incomprehensible, calamitous, ill omen!

The samskar worn by the mother and those who open up the gold or silver threads on the border of the veil of the mother’s samskar for their livelihood, the devils who remove her clothes and look at her in a sick way, how can she call them ‘her children’? In this whole planet could there be at least one good child, who has the power to apprehend those who harass her. At least one child who can be truly called as a youth. She is wandering around in search of such a youth. Is there anyone who is equipped to sacrifice these encroachers into the national-sacrificial-fire which is built on the highest stream of thought-flow?

The insulted mother who asks for the endowment of youths who have bloomed from childhood will not think twice before slaughtering the humanity. This Goddess of War has now woken up. In fact the youth can never be protected from this wrath. Those who are eager to waste the youth gifted by the nature should throw themselves away from the circumference of this universe. This world will now ignore you. You will wait for someone to come and stamp over you so that you will be broken-off. The life of those who are like a thorny cactus, who grow without donating their lives to the nation, could be long. But the senses that have grown for enjoying the pleasures are banned to be the sacrificial woods in the nature-sacrifice.

It's a transformation meant for some new learning.... Everyone would have gone through it !

It has been 1 year 4 months and 3 days since I came here in New Zealand to be very precise. During this time period I got exposed to some really new and amazing subjects and scientific stuff which I hardly thought of being scientific. It has been tough journey and its still going, but when I look back to some moments and stages I really feel satisfied though I was not very enjoying at that period and I was pretty Isolated too. 

I really feel so perplex how to define this period when you have gone to somewhere for some particular reason and purpose and you got revealed to different but amazing fronts of life. I have finished my Masters in Finance for which I came here in New Zealand, "Mission Accomplished Tiger" !! but I didn't learn only finance. "Everything happen for a reason" and I am not the mere exception to this. 

You never know where destiny will lead you to and you don't have any choice than just getting thrown by it. But you always have a choice what you want to be even being in that situation and what you want to strive for. It was literally a kind of transformation, the way I started thinking about my approach towards life, learning, passion which has totally changed. Apart from my regular finance studies I have started studying some other amazing stuff, I didn't know that time that I will gain hell lot interest in this but somehow it just went so fine and still going. Some stuff and learning are made for you and you felt like so comfortable while learning it and everything just go so smooth and fine for you while learning it, albeit a complex concept and lot of reading. 

When you start studying something new and when you get exposed to some world class experts and master of that field you feel that big scope for improvement. I am right there in that situation where I know how much I have to learn and improve for this new branch of knowledge (Not my Finance Studies). When I was studying finance and I met with some experts in finance that time also I started finding the big gap for improvement. It applies everywhere in every field but I am wondering why I have started feeling about this gap and improvement now, me before 2 years, I was so distinguish and I wouldn't have thought about these all stuff at that time, and I don't think so its about maturity because even before 2 years I was 22 years old and enough mature. 

Before two years I was very relax and casual guy about everything, but somehow now I won't say critical but rather cautious about my learning experience. Now if I want to learn something I want to get complete knowledge of it with sincerity. I have started striving for learning, not talking about academic learning but still its learning only for me. 

I guess everyone go through this phase of life and start feeling more passionate and ambitious about what he does. Its indeed amazing phase but I am really confused whether its just void or real transformation ?  According vedic astrology Saturn takes you towards learning, hardship and experience, so phase of Saturn is so vital. Saturn will make you isolated, alone with hell crunch of social circle. But I guess this is the only phase where you could learn something so wise and out of the world, being in a society with all your acquaintance you can never learn something different.  Ramdas swami went to jungle and took sanyasa, he just ran away from his marriage ceremony to get isolated, and then He wrote great Daasbodh and 205 Manache Shlock, my grandfather used to say that "After reading and studying all Hindu scriptures I found that abstract of all Hindu scriptures, vedas, Upanishada, and Purana are there in those 205 stanzas". And believe me sometimes being isolated is literally a privilege to be in. 

But one thing for sure, when you change your approach and become more passionate and ambitious about your learning experience doesn't matter of which field, Your life just becomes so exciting and you find healthy challenge in learning every bit of it. 

Strive for your passionate learning, Its Fun..... And Life is all about Learning.

KAMASTAGRE SAMAVARTATAD...... by Mr. Vishwas Sakrikar

KAMASTAGRE SAMAVARTATADHI MANSO RATAHA PRATHAM YADASIT |

SATO BANDHUMASATI NIRVINDAN HRUDI PRATINYAA KAVAYO MANISHA ||

(RUGVEDA 10 / 129/ 04)

At First Kama (Desire of Nature) Got Developed in the Mind of the God.

From that the first seed (reason of growth) emerged .

Intellects through their intelligence, by thinking through their conscious mind,

made the growth place of the existing thing from the non-existing thing. 

The moral support of the Indian samskar (moral values) is Dharma (Duty), Artha (Material Prosperity), Kama (lust) and Moksha (Liberation). It can also be called as the prowess of the aggregate of four. If we have accepted these four prowesses in a healthy way, then the state that we would achieve in the end is social, full of moral values which merge into the sea of the Hindu triad.

We can see the firm faith in the eyes of every Indian, about setting the flow of such rich heritage in the Hindu triad. We are proud about the fact that this purified treasure is present in us inspite of the deficiency of the worldly pleasures. Through these four prowesses we have gained the controls originated from their values and we all collectively agree to accept this with full faith.

Self-connect to the sage-lineage and the sages, continually learning about the apex work done by them brings ecstasy in us.  For the common people like us, they presented their extensive approaches through thoughtful words to keep it simple and easy to understand. Inspite of various attacks of this culture, these honoraries have lived forever through such flow of their apex work. Only because of this, we have been able to cross the sea of constructions and transport the life-boat to the other banks with the help of such enlightened guides.

The disciplined path formed by the social associations, for living in this world and for moving towards the other world, its restrictions on the Sutras(formulae), ascertain the prime duty of life. Saints like Namdev have clearly depicted that by walking on such a journey, the merging of the individual self into the universal self happens at the end. Such depictions are very clearly printed through the declarations of Namdev - ‘Aata Vishwatmake Deve’.

As per the laws of discipline, progressiveness exists through celibacy by preserving Dharma (righteousness), through marital bonding following the path of righteousness and through liberation merging in Dharma using the path of renunciation. In the marital bonding, it is acceptable to have material prosperity and lust by abiding to the duty. A journey thus carried out, easily makes a human competent to move towards the life of renunciation.

A creation obtains the mentality of abandoning all desires only when he enters a class above these four prowesses. Thousands have toiled hard to preserve these due orders. Due to the penance thus done, we can still see the shower of the water of these ancient streams being mercifully sprinkled in our modern inhabited discussions. These streams are our Cultural Festivals.

Indian Cultural Festivals makes the mind energetic. Though these festivals are the pretext to build the social organization, still the basic purpose is to bring happiness consistently. A country cannot stay youthful if it doesn’t have the spring season in it. The Indians who always want to stay in the spring i.e be youthful portray the positive side of living.

Vasant-Panchami (A Hindu Festival) is the Festival of RatiKamadeva. This festival has been introduced to remove the wanton mentality and bring high spirit, energy and happiness. By touching such horizons of energy and happiness this festival wants to divert the attention of the humans towards nature. It signaled to forget that which is old, dead and keeping up the motion like the way idol move towards the light until the Rathasaptami.

Adorning the different colors of nature onto the clothes that were worn, the pollen of the bloomed flowers reminding us of the rejuvenated spirits, emphasizing that life is beautiful, fragrant as well as glowing, this festival was successful in redefining the meaning of purity. It also helped in surfacing the creativity present in individuals and gave birth to different rhymes and melodious songs. The lamps of our lives glowing near the basil plants would feel blessed to nurture the crawling kids to make them stand sturdily. But today we need that light which would show us the path which gives a balance of happiness in the struggling lives.

Indians don’t like to live discolored, worn-out lives. As and when we became incapable to proclaim that we will not participate in the festivals which do not bring lusciousness and colorfulness to the mind, from then on the mechanical life started getting long life. This unnaturally gained tough and dry life has left the hands of the infancy present in us and has held hands of the spiritual thoughts imposed on us and is moving from long to prolonged living. In this course we have forgotten to give the right values to life. Our natural downfall started here.

Carrying the baggage of happiness and sorrow, the spring (or the youth) enters in us from the infinite space. During the cultural festivals we ask for the blessings of 100 years between the times we are on this earth and before we leave for the heavenly abode. We do not feel inferior to ask anything from the pure and witnessing Upanishads. Thus the roles played by the festivals are the green chapters of the historical bliss. The evidence of the infant’s long lives is stored in these green chapters that are preserved by the aged people who have experienced this bliss.

One of the important parts of the human life is Kama i.e Lust. It has been prohibited by the scriptures to serve lust by neglecting Dharma (righteousness) and Artha (Meaningfulness). This is also the purity of the festivals formed. Such festivals convey that serving of lust is acceptable in a marital duty when it is supported by Dharma and Artha. Kama (Lust) is the first seed of the universe. As told innocently in the verse of the Veda ‘Kamastdgre Samavartataadhi…’ the first conception of the nature was Kama i.e. lust. While saying so, the sages have put forth the fact as it is, without bringing in the false persistence.  This shows the maturity of the thoughts of the Indian sages.

With the bonding of Shiva & Shakti, the Universe was born as the original seed. Living as the fraction of the fractional universe, as we do not understand the purpose and the motive of the Kama, we tend to hit the roots of the Artha & Dharma with the immature axe of Kama and cut the tree of life. The nature’s comprehension behind the attraction of male and female is the desired fruit of subtle unawareness of the earlier life. Recurrence of the desires (in this life or between lives) is the nature of the centrifugal universe. We accept the vibrations coming from the centre to the circumference, just for the sake of motivation. Though this is an eternal desire, why do we accept it and how do we accept it, should be the questions raised by those who walk on the path of karma (performing deeds).  Once we start asking questions, we will one day be successful is getting the answer of why we were separated from the divine God.  Many spiritual teachers have tried to tell us the meaning of what was the motive of God to keep this door of Kama open. However we have become so deaf by falling in this lust, that we are unable to hear the voices of such spiritual gurus.

Considering the bonding of male and female to be instrument for transforming the life into divine and merging of individual self to universal self, will create imbalance. This is so, as this desire of bonding may move away from the centre of Dharma and Artha towards the circumference and will give rise to its own individualistic approach. When the energy moves from the centre to the circumference it does not become strong. We have to newly start poring over the fact that centre is the truth.

The collection of that Artha (meaningfulness) which is energized by Dharma (righteousness) done by us with a specific purpose is called Kama (Lust). This annexed collection is constantly seen in as a resultant in front of us. By the conduct of Kama, a persons’ Dharma and Artha forms are made obvious. His life’s appropriate, inappropriate forms of latent purposes, in different situations, in the forms of their daughters and sons, keep becoming visible. Worthy or unworthy, virtuous or non-virtuous daughters and sons are the product of the balanced application of Artha and Dharma by us. We need keep in our mind that this has nothing to do with fate. It is a product of our own accumulation of merit and demerit.

Kama is a mental power. It is a life-giving power as well. It, at times, comes forth in the form of spirit or in the form of worldly power. This is because, as per the many learning, it is a divine God. Indians have accepted all parts of life after its detailed study. Accepting the purpose of any subject and connecting it to the mankind, is a distinctive deed in itself.

In the Gurukuls this deed conducted from birth to evolvement and from evolvement until the death, by giving the basic knowledge of the different phases of life. Hence the student understands that serving Kama is the national and social duty. Gurukul teaches the students on how to serve Kamabefore he enters into this journey. Due to this the student will not serve a blind Kama. Thus his innocently served Kama gives birth to a branch of the social tree and asserts the need of the social organization.

When a person is completely aware of why a marriage is required and he is conscious about the same such a person is still a celibate even though he is bound in the marital nuptial. Such declaration has been allowed by the scholars. A nation, whose philosophical evolution is at such a pinnacle and who has planted the sacrificial human values throughout the universe, cannot remain without being felicitated by the entire universe.

The water-consumption ritual in the marriage ceremony wherein there is a pledge taken as ‘Dharme cha Arthe cha Kame cha Naaticharami’, Naaticharami means not over-doing (Na Aati Charami), ‘I will not serve these 3 prowesses excessively’. However men who abided by such rituals are not found anymore. We have become depraved. We have lost our virtues because multiple generations couldn’t consciously accept these three prowesses. Such virtu-less lives have crossed even the disciplined lives of the animals and stooped to the lowest categories.

The Kama period in the animals is innate. If we study deeper we would come to know that they are not desperate to serve Kama. As per the seasons, the need of Kama that evolves in them shows the healthy way of living. In a way it is observance of celibacy. At the present moment, if we look at our own lives, why can’t we see such a healthy living? We will also have to start working on this studied knowledge.

Kama, Anger, Fear and Death are the basic characteristics of animals. Now, in them, even humans have started being considered. Rather, his anger due to subjugation of Kama, with the fear that Kama would not be available for him, because of the sad state of Kama and due to the lack of penance, he has started moving towards his death. This truth which is clear as sunlight cannot be hidden into a fist.

The difference between the animals and human is the intelligence, the mind and the brain. Though on the face of it, it sounds pleasant to hear this, but it is not seen through the deeds done by the humans!

We don’t even feel guilty for this offence. To maintain the heretic hypocrisy of being a human, we have stooped lower than the animals.

Animals never give a declaration like ‘Dharme cha Arthe cha Kame cha Naaticharami’. It is we humans who do it. As the social catalyst, this responsibility of ours is very valuable. During the marriage ceremony, the prayer said in front of the divine fire as ‘I will achieve the Artha which consists Dharma, and with the collection of such Artha I will benefit in Kama and that too rightful Kama’, is to get the moral of living. If there is no understanding of this fact, then the ritual of water-consumption in the marriage ceremony is futile.

Earth is the container of Fire. A woman is also the mother earth. She also can be the carrier of Fire. She is capable of giving a child to this motherland, which is as radiant as the Sun. If this is the hidden meaning, then why should she shudder to dedicate her radiant child to the motherland? With the element of fire in her and if her own understanding is progressing, she can give birth to small radiant light herself. Unfortunately it is seen that as the time moved on such carriers of fire have started reducing.

The misused Kama which considers woman as a substance of use obtained through the marriage and cannot preserve her self-esteem has destroyed her capabilities to give birth to radiant children. With this the possibility of having bright parents has also got destroyed. Seeing intensive dreams of reaching the goals by walking on the burning coals should also be considered as the bright deeds of human. Parents should consider it as the honor of their linage to dedicate their child to the nation. The couples who give birth to the radiant children take birth on this earth as the streams of the disciplined life and by the mechanism of yami (that which controls) and yam (self-control) can get the knowledge and satisfaction.

A woman is a divine power and divine mother as well. After the penance of 1000’s of births, out of the lakhs of birth happening, only few come in the form of Goddess Jagdamba. When this happens, the happiness of the mother earth can be seen in the form of the ever rising brightness of the sun. The parents of all those warriors who smilingly gave away their lives for the sake of motherland must have been motivated by this bright sun. This brightness itself had got flown in the form of blood for the motherland! The ascetic of those times who could create a spark out of this carrier of fire was the ‘Aadi Shakti’ i.e. Divine Power.

The parents of Nivruttinath (Deliverance) and Dnyaneshwar (Knowledge) came together only 4 times to give birth to the divine flames. This reference was to spread the purpose of the Kama of the renounced life to the universe, through the motherly milk blossomed in the form of knowledgeable deliverance. They gave a motherly touch and immersed in self-immolation. Here the mother was the ‘Aadi Maya’ i.e. ‘Divine Motherly Affection’.  The purpose behind both these deeds is eagerness to remove the curse from the forehead of the motherland. We are ignoring such social sacrifices done and are praying for progress of fate. Should we call this illiteracy or dalliance of the ill-fate? The purpose of the births of revolutionaries and sages surfaces the understanding of the completely mature Kama. Rubbing the fistful mud of the motherland on the forehand, performing actions by uniting the divine power and affection, we can change our fate as well.

‘We have come from the Brightness

In this Brightness shall we dissolve,

Travelling in this mud and rising,

We will newly see the sun again’

This declaration should be sounded in the lullaby of every night. This is the prime duty of the Indians.

This is so because Dharma was created by the groups. By the support of the groups Artha became useful as the medium of order of life. Kama became the doctrine of dualism as it was the centre for attraction between the different genders. However for Moksha (Liberation) a human has to travel alone. For this there is a need of a clear mind. There exists a relationship of the Dharma with intelligence, Kama with the mind, Moksha with the soul and Artha with the body. Therefore, without understanding the true form of the labor of the mind i.e Kama, one cannot move towards the perfect unity with the lord i.e. Advaita.

Dharma is decorated with the intellects. Moksha is the shadow of the soul; similarly it is natural for the Artha to be combined with the body. For the body to grow properly, for maintaining it by taking Artha as the medium, we should live a hundred years. This was the prayer and not a begging of the Upanishads.  Gain the happiness & joy by holding the hands of the mind - through Artha & Kama which means healthy body and holding the hands of Kama, but balance it out!

Those who see the creation healthily gets injured by the cupid of Lord Shiva. It is a symptom of his extreme fatherhood. We are the birth form of the expressed fatherhood. Signaling us to reflect our lives from Kama into Rama, Shiva starts becoming like Rama; this is one of the extraordinary adjustments.

The meeting of the earth with the sky is the unification of Shiva & Shakti. The one who can balance the Shiv-bow of the cupid’s arrow can only gain the aim of being Rama. Even though being liberated, those who are getting hit by the cupid’s arrow for the benefit of the world, displaying the form of Shiva without any hesitance, are innocent and plain Indians. Even if the universe is a divine truth, yet those who consider it as an illusion or unreal, he himself lives in illusion. This illusion is a truth for them. The illusion that doesn’t accept this universe as the truth is not acceptable to the sages. If we consider it as the truth, then we should assume that we have not come across the truth as yet. Without getting the experience, ignoring the affection means ignoring the motherhood and by doing so we are not going to reach anywhere. This is the reason why the modern science is so scribbled.

The journey done with the 4 prowess doesn’t get completed without self-realization. Serving of the meaningful Kama which contains righteousness, this point of view should be embossed during birth itself. Once this is done, Gurukul is capable of embossing all life in the minds of the students. So the parents itself have to observe rightful Kama so that the child’s journey of life would be meaningful. Then they can definitely build prosperous thoughts in their children. Indians have given the rank of scriptures to the Kama by doing a meditative study of what should be the mental state of the parents, what should be their purpose before creation and through this have obstructed the birth of the not needed purposes.

Life is a struggle and it has to be that way because this is a land of deeds (karmabhumi). Over here we get an opportunity to change the collection of deeds of previous lives. Lord Indra (God of all senses) though lives in the heaven where beautiful maidens and pleasures are available; still he got obsessed with Ahilya who stayed on the earth! This will bring a picture of Lord Indra as a sensual enjoyer which is entirely wrong. Lord Indra is the King of all Gods. Dev i.e. God this word is created from the word ‘Dyu’ which means Brightness. The attraction of Lord Indra towards Ahilya has become a matter of ridicule. One needs to know that all the stories in the Upanishad’s have been derived after lot of study. It has a hidden scientific meaning in it which needs to be discovered. However without being sensitive about it, we have got involved in abusing our own Indian culture.

Indra is a God of the space! He is the son of the nectar! He should feel the need of having a body and reincarnates himself on this earth?!  What would be the meaning behind this thought? ‘Any desire takes us from spirit to heaviness (which means brings us back to this earth) and thus shakes the throne of Lord Indra’. While making such stories, the scholars didn’t mind taking the risk of getting insulted as this was meant for the progress of the society and to increase the understanding of the nature to the human race. This shows their compassion towards us. It is the honor of the bodily humans to convert the land of death and land of deeds into the mother land. Thus it portrays that we get an opportunity to make the life given to us useful for the motherland.  The Lord Indra of the space is the infinite form of the humans and the Indra or Indriyas i.e. senses in humans is its concrete form. Human welfare is in keeping the balance between the infinite and concrete form. The set of all form of senses means Indra! Through these different senses in human, he can understand the forms of the future.

We can understand this subject clearly by thinking in more details about the Gods associated with the ten senses organs. Indra – Hands, Trivikram – Legs, Agni(Fire) – Voice, Upastha – King, Yam – Anus, in these organs of action the basis of hands was given to Indra. Amongst the organs of knowledge, Ears – Direction, Skin – wind, Eyes – Sun, Tongue – Sea and Nose – Ashwinikumar. The complete ownership of organs of knowledge and actions is with Lord Indra as a King. Here as well there is a reference of organs of action which needs to be noted. It also whispers the reason of why Hands have been given the name of Jagannath (Lord of the Universe). At that time Lord Indras’ brightness reached Aahilya through his hands which were rays. ‘Hilya’ means Mountain and also means non irrigated and unnourished body and ‘Aa’ means No. Indra means rise of desire in the body. Here desire refers to the desire of Lust. Due to lack of proper understand we misunderstand the process of deeds.

In the life-struggle, the humans’ smooth progression and rest, both are needed for them. If there is only struggle, life will become unbearable. Therefore the nature has provided moments of happiness and joy in our lives. The scholars of scriptures have signaled us to abide by it.

The purpose behind making the couple understand about the Kama before marriage is to make sure that in the stressful marital life they should not get fed up of their lives. Kama means Mind, Dharma means Body, Artha means Intellect and Moksha means Liberation. These have been created so that on the basis of these philosophies the couples should become the two wheels of the chariot and carry it towards forward for being included in the nature.

As most of the humans think that Mind and Body are the only ultimate truth, they find themselves in trouble. During the beginning of nature, the Lord’s mindful thought of making the nature evolve created the Kama. Later on, Mind, Seeds and Sand were developed. Hence Kama is the form of the Lord. It comes to notice that the Kama which got created from the seeds of the mind of the ancient-man is the fulfillment of all his desires. Insulting Kama and thinking of nature as an illusion means utilizing the opportunity of this birth fruitlessly. While refusing the nature and its creation we should be watchful about the fact that we are inattentively refusing the existence of the creator as well.

As ‘Yamah Yamah Kamamadheete Tamah Tamah Anena Saadhyet’ Rucha (mantra in the Veda) conveys, Kama means desire. The way the person desires, he gets them satisfied in the same way. Whether those are dreadful desires, desires directed towards the center of the soul or the compassion on the circumference of the universe, all these get fulfilled as per the motive. The moment the desire ripens it gets fulfilled. This happens as the universe is a neutral state. This Rucha signals that the purpose and forms of our desire is to be understood by us and also says how they should be transitioned.

The desires or the Kama’s form which is the body, when we start centering it towards the body as the medium then our mind moves from infinity to concreteness. However, considering it as the origin of energy, then the Lord of the centre stream is Shri Ganesha who is the giver of Intellect. This means, Kama should be transformed with the help of Intellect. By doing so, to give us guidance for releasing us from the dices of deeds through liberation, Shri Ganesh makes His presence in our form, at that place, carrying the power of restrain!  Before coming into this world from the womb, by breaking the dice of the unknown future through restrain, we are ready to cut the umbilical cord of this worldly body.

It is in the welfare of the mankind that, from one body to another, from one mind to another and from soul creating a strong creative mind. As per the Vedic story, Shri Ganesha was born out of the dirt of Mother Parvati. We need to think about what was the creative thinking behind it. Through the progressive state of Kama, how Riddhi(Wealth) & Siddhi(Accomplishment) can be sought, even this was told by the noted scholars.

Even though our Kama’s utilization through the birth of a child is for uplifting of the lineage, society and nation, still in that the desire to experience the Shiva’s essence is because of the need to understand the subtle purpose of the life.

A man cannot be a creator. He cannot become a mother. Due to this he looks out for different ways of creation by which he can be called a creator. He may also become a mother of something. A female has the ability of creation from birth itself. Due to this lacking in the man, he starts using his brain and strength. However this doesn’t show the true fatherhood. Hence men have more necessity to be in Gurukul. Due to the extreme affection of the Guru-Mother of the Gurukul, he gets introduced to the female as a mother.

In today’s era a female has not maintained herself a female itself, leave alone she being seen as a mother. Similarly the male couldn’t maintain himself as a male nor as a father. While getting introduced to the genders, the female should become a good mother and a male a good father; the social welfare dwells by this. The reader should fulfill the responsibility of this transformation successfully.

The subtle forms of this subject have to be understood very delicately. The energy of Kama every time is a flow of creation. Hence Indians created the Tantra Shastra (scripture which is a branch of Veda). As per this scripture female was considered as the form of mother. This again shows the maturity of the Indian thoughts. In the worship of Shakti ( Power / Strength ) ‘Ya Devi Sarva Bhuteshu Matrurupena Samsthita…’ was said and the male considered himself blessed to bow his forehead onto her legs. In the society where such noble honor to the female was developed, there the moment of enjoyment was thoughtfully transformed into a form of prayer. Such divine practice has not been done by any of the souls elsewhere on this earth.

Today few illiterates have kept a devastate picture of the Tantra Shastra in front of the world. We need to be alert about those whose purpose is to make you consider body as the only medium of the worldly accomplishments. The traditional Shaiva and Vaishnav community told the internal or the hidden meaning of serving the Kama. Instead of conveying the exceptional meaning of Ida, Pingla & Sushumna’s  (the three important Nadi or ducts) (Sushumna Nadi connects the base chakra to thecrown chakra. It is very important in Yoga and Tantra in general, Pingala is associated with solar energy, Ida is associated with lunar energy sometime it is based on solar energy) ascending and descending breath-full conjunction, they become leading by conveying the momentous happiness of the touch between the male and female. Those of us, who prostrate before the immature intellect of the western culture, continue with their wild behaviors and keep scanning through the different writing on law of Kama, should read the study done by Maharishi Vatsyayan on this subject. This study has to be taught from childhood itself. By doing this Kama would become healthy, clear and sensible. Along with this, the study of VidnyaanBhairava book in the form of Shiva-Parvati’s conversation would also be helpful.

In the recent period, few psychos of the Shankta tradition have spoiled the dignity of the this tradition. To stop the improper behavior, human sacrifice etc carried out in the Shaiva, Vaishnav and Shankta tradition, Adi Shankaracharya had to take a reincarnation in Srinagar. Only then the improper behavior came to an end by bowing to the authority of Adi Shankaracharya! Revered Pundit Gopinath Kaviraj put forth some pure forms of Tantras in many of his books in the last century. This was possible with the blessings of Shri Vishuddhananda.

When the deep understanding of any subject is created and a human gets engrossed in it, at that point he thinks about Kama. This has been experienced by all of us. Scientists have done many experiments on this. Whether it be mediation in the name of God or the job of farming, it could be any worldly or space related any job still it is possible in it. By such experiments we can understand why the other side of Kama is said to be energy. This state starts making a person more and more pure. He doesn’t need to cover behind the veil of false celibacy. If he does so, this hidden celibacy will turn out to be self-destructive and pervert.

The scientific purpose behind the traditional Lord Ganesh puja and immersion is to purify the 10 organs of senses within the 10 days and immerse the accumulated muck. Lord Ganesh is the prime God of the Tantras. The traditional rituals have highly contributed towards including such tantras in the daily lives through festivals.

Through meditation when we reach the deeper stages, at that time with the transformation ofKama we can start going into intense yoga i.e. Samadhi. Animal is our past and Divine Soul is our future. Through the observation of the animal i.e. our past life we can create our future. Kama is our life’s flow. It is the support to what all happens in the world of spirits.

Thought it is a part of the ancient Tantra rituals, still at times it can become a misused ritual. Hence the subject of authority becomes most important. That understand, experience, person, its purpose being the subject of absolute Guru Parampara, the common man’s intellect cannot understand its essence and the intrinsic forms. Hence after a certain period of time, many of its subtle meanings have got dumb. However through individual penance, many of the disciples have managed to maintain its existence in the Guru-Lineage. This was also meant for not letting it go in the wrong hands. These few disciples are still involved in such activities of human welfare by making the use of the tantras at the right place and right time and removing or helping to remove the many calamities of life. Others who are not well-studied on this subject should not comment on them based on their perception and shouldn’t provide their opinions as it would cause a loss and also it is not their authority to do so. The common social ethical bindings, thoughts and actions and pleasures are the laws set for the common man so as to maintain the family and social disciple. These laws keep on changing to form the law of Kama. The demoralization of Sita’s character, the dragging of Draupati on single cloth in the assembly which was completely crowded and the Indra’s lustful desire towards Aahilya, such incidents were present in Kruta, Treta and Dwapar Yugas. Hence we cannot segregate ‘KalYug’ separately. Kali i.e. destruction is the lowest thought process of all the four yugas. That has been present in every era. We cannot segregate yugas based on these criteria. This has always been a part of our lives. With respect to Kama, the individual experiences are the ways of penance and the words written on this subject should be used just as a guidance. The individuals should do their own study and contemplate on this subject.

Maharishi Vatsyayan has said that every individual should accept all the three categories i.e. Dharma, Artha & Kama in their lives and he has also brought to our notice the importance of Kama (ref. KamaSutra 1.2.46-47) ‘Kama is required for the attainment of body and hence it has the similarity to the food. Also the ultimate fruit of Dharma and Artha is primarily the server of Kama.’ The flaws in Kama needs to be understood (due to the flaws it shouldn’t be rejected). We do not stop cooking because guests would be coming in our house; we do not stop growing pulses because animals would eat it. Hence it is important to remove the flaws and serve Kama as said by Maharishi Vatsyayan. He also says that by ignoring the need of Kama, intoxicating flaws get generated and the bodily health doesn’t get maintained.

Until today Indians have done enormous work on this subject and the reader should do his own study on this subject.
