Follow the Truth | Story of Bharati Swamiji

Follow the Truth | Story of Bharati Swamiji | 1 min.

A small story from the life of His Holiness Shri Chandrasekhara Bharati Swamiji, one of the previous Shankaracharyas of the Shringeri Math:

Once, an American approached him to be converted to Hinduism. Swamiji asked him the reason. The American replied that he was not satisfied with Christianity, that it left his spiritual longing unquenched. The Acharya asked him : "Have you honestly practiced Christianity? Try it first. If it does not satisfy you, then come to me".

That is our attitude. Ours is a non-proselytizing Dharma. In almost all cases, proselytization is motivated by political or some such gain. We reject it. We say : This is the plain Truth; if you choose, follow it.

Namaste!

Transform Yourself | Talks with Guru | 1 min.

Disciple: How can I make a positive change in others? Guru: Realize that you cannot change anyone in this world. If you are thinking that you can change someone, you’re wrong. I can only change one person in this world – me. Be it by advice, scorn, teaching or punishment, I cannot change anyone else in this world. If you believe the opposite, time will teach you. The only person you can change is you. So, brace yourself! Accept the good from everyone. Change yourself! The second verse from the Eleventh Anuvaka of Taittiriya Upanishad says: यान्यनवद्यानि कर्माणि | तानि सेवितव्यानि | नो इतराणि | यान्यस्माकं सुचरितानि | तानि त्वयोपास्यानि | नो इतराणि || २ || Yani anavadyani karmani | tani sevitavyani | no itarani | Yani asmakam sucharitani | tani tvayopasyani | no itarani || 2 || [As you gain more freedom, you also have more responsibilities. You will be responsible for the consequences of your actions. Only noble and virtuous actions should be followed and not others. ]
