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.]





 Namaste! Om!

ॐ Chidanandam ॐ

Bhavishyapurana and Muslims | Mahamadas | Talks with Guru | 4 mins.

Disciple: In a Q&A session with an eminent Muslim scholar, I came to hear the following argument: In the Bhavishyapurana, there are references that after 4000 years, a man named Muhammed would come and he should be given due respect and reverence. Is this true? What is Guru’s take on this? Guru: The fundamental basis of the Sanatana-Dharma-Shastra is the Vedas. Vedas have 4 parts [Samhitas, Aranyakas, Brahmanas and Upanishads], 6 Angas [Shiksha, Kalpa, Vyakarana, Nirukta, Jyotisha and Chandas] and 5 Upavedas [Ayurveda, Dhanurveda, Sthapathya-veda, Gandharva-veda and Arthashastra]. Since the complex concepts in the Vedas are unfathomable for common people, they have been explained with the help of stories (in ‘Puranas’) and biographies (in ‘Itihasas’/epics). Hence, the Vedas and their allied scriptures are considered as the primary sciences and the Itihasa-Puranas as secondary. Now, among the Puranas, the 18 Maha-puranas command primary status. The Bhavishya-purana in questio...

I have just begun to collect flowers!

In 1955, during the 51st birthday celebrations of Param Poojaneeya Guruji, a meeting of Karyakartas was held at Calicut in which many Pracharaks including Shankar Shastri Ji and Venuettan had assembled. To everyone's surprise, Mananiya Dattopant Thengadiji arrived at the meeting. He had no official programs planned at Calicut. Curiously, Shastri Ji inquired about the purpose of his visit. "A swayamsevak from Feroke (near Calicut) has written to me about starting a BMS unit in his tile factory", replied Thengdiji. "I'm here to meet him". Quite soon, the swayamsevak arrived and took Thengadiji to Feroke. After a few hours, Thengadiji returned to Calicut, after forming a temporary committee of BMS at Feroke. Back at the office, Venuettan asked him if there were any BMS units anywhere else near Calicut. As always, Thengadiji's cool reply was that there were units in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Bhopal and Hyderabad. "With the other units so far, how can ...
