a small story which was told by Sringeri Acharya Sri Sri Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati Mahaswamulavaru. He was talking about Dasavataras and says [paraphrasing. so mistakes are mine. idea is His]

During Satya Yugam, Devas and Asuras were physically in different locations.. that is Devas were in Deva Lokam which was distinct from where Asuras lived in the the Asura Loka. A conflict would happen when any Asura wanted more than just his loka and went to occupy Deva Loka.

And then the Paramatman would wage a war almost always single handed.

Now coming to Treta Yuga, the Devas [Sri Rama] and Asuras were both in one loka. Some distant apart, but still one loka only.

Conflict would happen when, as in case of Satya Yugam, when the Asuras tried to disrupt the devas. In this case, Sri Rama went TO the asura loka be it Janasthana or Lanka and fought with them, along with help from other divine beings i.e vanaras.

This changed even further in Dwapara Yugam when the devas and asuras were born in the same family Sri Krishna & Balarama vs their mama Kamsa or Pandavas vs Kauravas. And the conflict arose as soon as they were born.

In this case, Sri Krishna gave His army to the asuras but He Himself didn’t actively take part in the war. He was like a spectator [or as we would say these days as a coach].

But in Kali Yugam, the devas & asuras are closer that is, both are usually in the same person! even when someone does some good, there seems to be some ulterior motive behind it.. conversely when someone does something bad there seems to be some good in him / her!!

so we cannot (normally) distinguish between a daivic person or an asuric person anymore.

And what to say of of Eswara?

His ”involvement” was steadily reducing as each yuga changed, and in Kali Yugam, He seems to have stopped involving in the battle between deva vs asura that rages in our hearts constantly.

He is sitting there, in our hearts, observing, but we have to work to reach out to Him.

And we can reach only when we let the Devas in us win.

such a wonderful story!

tells us what we have to do at the same time more importantly tells us what NOT to do.

Starting first thread on the 34th Acharya of Sringeri, Sri Sri Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati Mahaswami.

Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati Mahaswami [1912-1954]. Just hearing His name gives me goosebumps. I consider it my poorva bhagyam to have even heard about Him.He is undoubtedly One of the greatest Saints to ever walk on Earth. The DhwajapaTi of the Sringeri Peetam [imvho].

A Jivanmukta [one who's liberated even when living] is rare. Only sometimes do those souls take birth. To this parampara belongs Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati Mahaswami. Sri CB's parents had many (11) children none of whom survived.

It was w/ blessings of 33rd Acharya that they had a boy. Hence they named Narasimha Sastry.
Even from childhood he was always engrossed in bhakti and was always inward looking.
He loved Muka Panchasati.

Once his mom asked him get something from market, he started to get it reciting Panchasati and he walked out of Sringeri oblivious to the fact he had crossed into jungle. Someone stopped him and it was then he realized where he was. This was when he a kid!!

This is the 2nd thread on the Jivanmukta, Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati Mahaswami of @sringerimath. 4th thread in the series on Sringeri Guruparampara.

Mahaswami on Vedanta Vichara and our lives:

Acharya often said - Vidya annihilates ignorance and bestows knowledge abt Atma. What does one gain by learning Geography, Chemistry etc?

Rather what does one lose by NOT learning these. Our Shastras sharpen our intellect.

What does one gain by reading magazines? If a story is left unfinished ppl get restless. Ppl want to learn abt everything EXCEPT knowing "I".

He illustrated this w/ example.

Once a man who was posted at various places during his career came to Sringeri for 1st time. He mentioned he wanted to come earlier but couldnt.
He was posted at Kadapa where ppl dissuaded him from visiting Sringeri since it was far.

Similarly whenever he wanted to visit Sringeri his friends and relatives dissuaded him saying Sringeri was a small hamlet amidst jungles. bathing in tunga would be bad for his health, lots of wild animals on the way etc. which put a fear in him about visiting Sringeri.

After the phenomenon called Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati came another one - Sri Abhinava Vidya Teertha [1954-1989] the 35th Jagadguru. Srinivasa was born on Nov 13, 1917. He was initiated into Sanyasa by Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati in 1931. He was Jagadguru for 35 years.

He was chosen and specifically trained to take over Peetadhipatyam from Sri Mahaswami. He is majorly responsible for the way Sringeri currently is. He built various buildings for devotees, Gajashala, Gooshala etc.

Acharya on conversions:
Once a person approached Sri Acharya that some other religions are trying to convert Hindus and requested Sri AVT to do prevent these conversions.

AVT replied - what do u mean by religion? Religion i.e. mata is related to 'mati' or intellect.
Caste is called 'jAti' which is related to janana or birth.
Ex- breed of a cow. we cannot change its qualities to resemble another breed by changing its name.

In the din of non stop whining, cribbing, name calling, "mere symbolism" jibes... we did, or at least I did, miss such important, life changing, and refreshingly positive news about our country.

I would suggest everyone to stop what they are doing and spend 15 mins listening to sri gajendra singh shekawat ji on air. https://t.co/kLrWi6G2dN 2+

WHO ARE VALAKHILYAS?

Valakhilyas are 60000 Rishis who are thumb-sized. They were born to Kratu and Kriya. Rig Veda says that they sprang from the hairs of Brahma.
They move in front of Surya dev’s chariot as Sun moves daily and
shine like brilliant lights due to severe tapasya.

Tamil literature says that the main task of Valakhilyas is to prevent human beings from being scorched. They absorb the excess heat from the sun by travelling in front of him. They, in turn, get energy from Skanda and Ma Durga. The food of Valakhilyas is only wind.
@SriRamya21

Once, Rishi Kashyap performed a yagna and invited all the Devas and Rishis to help him. Indra brought a whole mountain of trees for firewood. The Valakhilyas were hardly able to lift anything but leaves. Even when they were moving leaves, they fell into rain water puddles.

Indra made fun of them. So they cursed Indra saying that his slayer would be born as the son of Kashyapa. When Indra apologized, they modified the curse that the son shall be initially an enemy of Indra, but later will become his friend.

This son born later to Kashyapa was Garuda. He flew to Indraloka to get Amrita and defeated Indra.
Later, he restored amrit vessel to Indra and was honoured as the King of birds and as the mount of Sri Vishnu.

1/ Productivity tip: when I keep procrastinating on something I often trick myself by saying, "ok just work on it for the next 20 minutes" or some short period of time, "and then you can chill/relax guilt free" and give myself some treat (sugar, netflix, etc)

2/ Usually at the 20 minute mark (sometimes I set a timer) I'm so engrossed in what I'm doing that I don't want want to stop and end up working on it for the next hour or two. But getting started seems to be the hardest part.

3/ Key to this: you have to actually be ok with stopping after 20 minutes and being guilt free if that's how you feel. So it's not a trick, i have the option every time, I just often don't want to use it once i'm in the zone.

So it's now October 10, 2018 and....Rod Rosenstein is STILL not fired.

He's STILL in charge of the Mueller investigation.

He's STILL refusing to hand over the McCabe memos.

He's STILL holding up the declassification of the #SpyGate documents & their release to the public.

I love a good cover story.......

The guy had a face-to-face with El Grande Trumpo himself on Air Force One just 2 days ago. Inside just about the most secure SCIF in the world.

And Trump came out of AF1 and gave ol' Rod a big thumbs up!

And so we're right back to 'that dirty rat Rosenstein!' 2 days later.

At this point it's clear some members of Congress are either in on this and helping the cover story or they haven't got a clue and are out in the cold.

Note the conflicting stories about 'Rosenstein cancelled meeting with Congress on Oct 11!"

First, rumors surfaced of a scheduled meeting on Oct. 11 between Rosenstein & members of Congress, and Rosenstein just cancelled it.

Rep. Andy Biggs and Rep. Matt Gaetz say DAG Rod Rosenstein cancelled an Oct. 11 appearance before the judiciary and oversight committees. They are now calling for a subpoena. pic.twitter.com/TknVHKjXtd
