Do amor a Deus (como algo separado) à experiência unificadora do eu com Deus, está bem mapeado na teologia indiana por Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami Nos programas de televisão ocidentais, as referências a Deus são raras.

ಭಾರತೀಯ ಧರ್ಮಶಾಸ್ತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ದೇವರನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುವುದರಿಂದ (ಪ್ರತ್ಯೇಕವೆಂದು ಭಾವಿಸಿ) ದೇವರೊಡನೆ ಸ್ವಯಂ ತಾದಾತ್ಮ್ಯದ ಅನುಭವದವರೆಗೆ ಉತ್ತಮವಾಗಿ ನಿರೂಪಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.  ಸದ್ಗುರು ಬೋಧಿನಾಥ ವೇಲನ್ ಸ್ವಾಮಿ   ಪಾಶ್ಚಿಮಾತ್ಯ ದೂರದರ್ಶನ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ದೇವರ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖಗಳು ಅಪರೂಪ. ಆದರೂ ದೇವರನ್ನು ಕುರಿತು ಮಾತನಾಡುವಾಗ ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯವಾಗಿ “ದೇವರು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ” ಎಂಬ ಪ್ರತಿಪಾದನೆಯನ್ನು ಮಾಡಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಇದು ದೇವರ ಬಗೆಗಿನ ಸಮಕಾಲೀನ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಕೋನವನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿಬಿಂಬಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ವಾಸ್ತವವಾಗಿ, ಬದುಕಿನ ಸವಾಲುಗಳ ನಡುವೆ, ದೇವರು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿ ಹೊರುತ್ತಾನೆ ಎಂಬ ನೆಮ್ಮದಿ ಉಂಟುಮಾಡುವ ನೈತಿಕ ದೃಷ್ಠಿಯ ಮೂಲತತ್ವವನ್ನು ನೆನಪಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು ಭರವಸೆಯನ್ನು ಮೂಡಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.         ..read more

Exploring the Life and Eccentric Nature Of North Indiaís Mysterious Mystic Written by Sudarshan Ramabadran • Art by Baani Sekhon  Each Indian state, city, district, town and village has its unique stories and cultures to share with the people of the world. These stories never become obsolete, because they help in creating common ground, driving social change, illustrating complex concepts, providing inspiration and sometimes even leading to the way to enlightenment. My sense is that it’s time to broaden out from talking about “incredible India” to learning about “incredible Indians” who have c ..read more

The meditative experience of flowing from inner sound to perfect silence The following is a selection of verses from Rishi Tirumular’s Tirumantiram, translated by Dr. S. P. Sabharathnam Sivacharyar.  Even if so-called “yogis” remain in yogic practices for eight thousand years, none of them would have a direct vision of Lord Siva, who is like the nectar flowing through all the nerves and channels of the body and whose presence fills the entire universe. But, if they settle their mind within, delink their soul from the tattvas (foundational elements of existence) and contemplate their insep ..read more
