Immortal Words of his holiness Srimad Jagadguru Swami Sudarshanacharyaji Maharaj
I have had a passion for reading the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita since childhood. Even though I didn’t understand the meaning of the verses, reading the Gita brought me immense joy and peace. I have read the words of many saints and listened to numerous discourses, but the way Sri Guru Maharaj, Swami Sudarshanacharya Ji, embodied and conveyed the message of the Gita is unparalleled. His life is a living example of the Gita’s teachings. If…
Karma is an extraordinary mystery—the journey of karma is profound. The journey of karma is very deep. Even great scholars, and even Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, do not possess the power to fully understand it. The Vedas themselves do not comprehend the mystery of karma; they only say “neti-neti” (not this, not this), because there is no end to karma. A simple fact regarding karma is that whatever actions this body performs, that is called…
Bandauṁ guru pad kanja kṛpā sindhu nar rūpa hari,Mahāmoh tam puñja jāsu bacan ravi kar nikar,Jāke sasaka guru dhanī to kahā kari sake aur,Hari rūṭhe to ṭhaur hai, guru rūṭhe nahīṁ ṭhaur,Yah tan viṣ kī belṛī, guru amṛt kī khan,Śīś diyo gar guru milai to bhī sastā jān, I bow to the lotus feet of the Guru, who is an ocean of grace and the Lord Hari in human form.Whose words are like the sun’s…
The divine teachings of Sri Goda Devi (Andal) and the Tiruppavai are precious gems of wisdom. The divine work of Sri Lakshmi Devi’s incarnation (Andal) in the Tiruppavai provides insight into the Supreme Being’s divine nature and glorifies the path of devotion (Bhakti) in a manner unparalleled by other scriptures. The greatness of the Tiruppavai (Sri Vratam) reveals that Andal’s deep devotion and unwavering faith led her to the ultimate spiritual goal. This goal was…
An excerpt from the discourse of Shrimad Jagadguru Ramanujacharya Swami Shri Purushottamacharya Ji Maharaj (Peethadheeshwar – Shri Lakshminarayan Divyadham, Shri Siddhalata Ashram, Fatehabad, Haryana) True knowledge, which leads to renunciation and devotion, is the ultimate goal (Bhagavad Gita 1.7) There are two types of knowledge: worldly knowledge and spiritual knowledge. Worldly knowledge is essential for achieving success in life, and spiritual knowledge is necessary for attaining peace and liberation. Both types of knowledge are valuable,…
When a human being receives the grace of God, they are born as a human in this world. Until then, they wander in countless other life forms. The human birth is considered superior because in this form, a person can attain true knowledge and the grace of God, and perform actions such as love, faith, fear, attachment, devotion, and so on. There is no greater boon than this in life. However, when God’s grace is…
The divine discourse of Shri Lakshminarayan (Shri Siddhalata Ashram) emphasizes that the simplest and surest way to reach God is through devotion. He advises that one should always keep the feet of God in their heart. This is why he insisted that his disciples and devotees regularly perform devotion through chanting, worship, and other forms of worship to different deities and their own chosen deity. He would instruct others to keep their focus on devotion…
TYPES OF SEVA The different types of Seva clearly indicate that distance, age, finance, or handicap is no barrier to doing Seva. All the above-mentioned forms of Seva are equally accepted by the Lord and also increase love in us for the Lord. Guruji at times really stresses on SEVA; in fact, He puts SEVA even above SIMRAN. Let us list a few points on SEVA: SEVA does not necessarily mean working at an Ashram….
If we hear Guruji’s discourses, the importance of the human form is a commonly mentioned topic. Often, we don’t give enough importance to this fact, which is why Guruji keeps repeating it. By the Grace of Guruji, I am trying to highlight the importance of the human form pointwise: The Importance of the Human Form From the above points, it is quite clear how important the human form is. Of course, there are many more…
When Lord Narayan was in the midst of creating the universe, Goddess Laxmi, His consort, was very upset. Lord Narayan saw this and asked Her the reason. She replied that Lord Narayan was creating the universe, in which He would create human beings and the Karma Department, which would be totally independent of anything. Due to the Karma theory, mankind would only suffer due to their own doings, as Karma is a totally independent theory….
Kuresa was one of Ramanuja’s most intimate disciples, always absorbed in thought of how he could assist his guru in his preaching work. He came from a wealthy brahmana family of Kuragrahara, a small village near Kancipuram. As he was in fact the landowner of the whole area around the village of Kura, he came to be known as Kuresa, the master of Kura. He married a very qualified girl named Andal, and together they…

Brahmaji received this science of Godhead directly from the Lord, and he handed it over to Narada, who in turn instructed Srila Vyasadeva to expand it. Thus, the transcendental knowledge of the Supreme Lord is not a product of mental speculation by mundane wranglers but is uncontaminated, eternal, and perfect knowledge beyond the jurisdiction of material modes. The Bhagavata Purana is therefore the direct incarnation of the Lord in the form of transcendental sound, and…
In this material world, we find that everything is temporary. It comes into being, stays for some time, produces some by-products, dwindles, and then vanishes. This is the law of the material world, whether we use as an example this body, a piece of fruit, or anything else. However, beyond this temporary world, there is another world of which we have information. This other world consists of a different nature, which is sanatana (eternal). Jiva…
With my humble obeisance at the lotus feet of my beloved Guruji, I would like to pen my thoughts on Seva Dharma as taught by Him and other saints and savants. In the past 20 years of my intense association with saints and devotees of different faiths and beliefs, and through reading a lot of spiritual literature, I have come to the conclusion that Guruji’s message and discourses are the simplest to follow and practice….
