So true are these words. How to be united with the world. After all the world is not different from what we are. Getting to know this through knowledge or otherwise is the one termed Mukti?
One thing is missing in this piece is "the process of writing". The "seer", the "seen" and the process of "seeing" - when all are indeed one and we create these 3 is the ultimate tatvam in Vedanta. Similarly the "Knower" (Subject /Actor), "Knowing" (Action /process) and the "Known" (object). In Vedanta this is discussed in many places - including "drik, drishya viveka". (This is called as Tri-puti). In Bhagavadgita - 18.18 this is dealt in detail - read with multiple commentaries. You'd need a bit of Linguistic understanding to go deep in this. This sloka has many "Goodartha" deep/ hidden meanings.
You know the chanting of a mantra is quite important. Slight changes in tone, tempo or enunciation can dramatically change a mantra. It is important to chant as specifically stated in the Vedic texts and traditions of India.
Thanks to Dr. Sundara Rajan we are knowing the good facts. Vruksha Ayurveda (Botany) is the subject matter of the video. As Dr says "Don't be a snub/fanatic. Try to learn what our ancestors knew and try to prove us to be their worthy descendants. Don't believe in all fantastic stories, what can be proved today, that itself is too huge." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFvzTH-q2Uw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFvzTH-q2Uw
Hindus mostly cremate the dead bodies. But the bodies of a Yogi or Sanyaasi is either buried or drowned in river. My question is, if this is the practice in case of Sanyaasis or Yogis, then why in the Ishavasya Upanishad, the last 2 verses call upon Agni to burn the body?
