Sage of Kanchi –
Pranams at the lotus feet
of Sri Paramacharya !
Sri Paramacharya conducted
various Vidhwath Sabha, religious and spiritual programs in the revered Sri
Kanchi Kamakoti Peedam, it was always crowded with wise, scholars and
intellectuals from various places, it gave an excellent opportunities to the
scholars for sharing their knowledge in Veda, Vedanta and sacred scriptures,
those activities are still taking place under the benefaction of 7oth pontiff
of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peedam Sri Shankara Vijayendhra Saraswathi
Swamigal. Acharya put in simple words
about the existence of ocean sized supreme bliss which is the real nature of
soul, unfortunately we often forget to realize the true nature of soul while
chasing for fame, wealth, and material happiness which are flimsy in nature. Intellectuals who are well aware of the nature
of material happiness will not chase for those things. Paramacharya explained the need for mediation
on regular basis, bathing cleanse the physical impurities, we concentrate on
washing away the dirt accumulated on the physical body on regular basis, in the
same manner our inner self also get polluted with various sensations which
needs to be cleansed on daily basis with meditation upon supreme Lord, it helps
to wash away the wicked thoughts before it get out of control. Happiness is like streak of sun light passing
through the woods while the movement of branches takes place and it is momentary;
therefore contemplate upon permanent happiness which is the nature of supreme
soul. Acharya beautifully described quintessence
of ‘Oneness in All’ with a simple illustration, human are born with sense of intelligence,
while seeing one’s own image on the mirror, no one will react to it outrageously,
whole Universe is the creation of supreme spirit, it reveals the nature of
all-pervading Bhramam which resides as soul in living beings, the knowledge about
Oneness in All sow the seed for compassion towards each other, it removes grief
and unknown fears, ultimately worshiper would be freed from rebirth.
