BHIKSHU GE JAY SHREE POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA
BHIKSHU GEETHAM
In PITHRU YAGNAM, offerings were done in the form of variety of foods. Usually 3 to 4 people of poise character were invited for that ceremony. They represent the 3 roles of Bhagavan, namely creation (by BHRAHMA), protection (by VISHNU), destroying (by RUDHRAN). The fourth one represents the place for Vedic illustrator, who makes this religious festival, a purified one. He is given the term BHRUHASPATHI (Vedic Guru to control the purity and austerity of the religious festival). During this Yagnam, various kinds of things were given as an offering to suitably selected BHRAHMINS of high virtue and moral character. Rich people spent much of their royal items, as offerings to suitably selected BHRAHMINS, during this PITHRU YAGNAM. The offering list included many items viz. cow, land, gold offerings, huge stock of food grains, beautiful living spaces and many other utensils of day to day life. These kinds of offerings were done on a philanthropic basis in a larger sense. They directly and indirectly improved the economy of the ruling nation.
In the story, the BHIKSHU was very greedy, during his earlier life. He never wanted to let anything, leave from his stock of wealth. So, he started to develop a sense of hatred towards these YAGNAMS, which were mentioned in BHAGAVATHAM. These 5 YAGNAMS laid a strong foundation for philanthropic activities, so that money can circulate from the rich to the poor. Under the fear of losing the money and thinking about the future ill consequences of poverty, the greedy man started to stock his wealth as much as possible. Even a small amount of money spent on some noble cause of philanthropic activities, made him sad and depressed and created a sense of fear in his mind. He started to neglect these YAGNAMS.
The PITHRU YAGNAM account for some of the concepts of economy too. The currency value of a country gets increased, when the currency circulates from rich to the poor and the price value of each and every commodity rises suitably. Poverty is due to the improper distribution of wealth. On the one end, money gets accumulated and dumped in the rich man’s palace. But on the other side, the people below the poverty line could not afford to the shooting prices, prevailing in the market.
The products coming from the work of people, from lower sector of the society, need to circulate in the market. This will increase the price value of those things. This will make the poor to gain some income and this will indirectly reduce the economic ups and downs in the society, thereby increasing the currency value of the nation.
The functions and YAGNAMS were done in larger scales covering various products. The food offerings given to the BHRAHMINS, served as a philanthropic approach of feeding at least 3 to 4 people in the society. Usually, the PITHRU YAGNAM should be done 108 days in a year. The BRAHMINS, who were chosen for participating in this Yagnam, were usually from deprived class but of high spiritual and moral value. It laid a condition that, the Brahmins should be chosen on random and rotational basis only. So, it accounts for feeding the deprived class in the society.
The purchase of food grains and related items helped the farmers and associated workers to gain some income and helped them to get the basic necessities of their life. The offerings given to the BHAGAVAN included a list of items viz. flowers, betel leaves, fruits, fragrance materials and other related ritual items. These items came from the varied class of people in the society. Each of these industries made a substantial income out of them. The purchase of clothes, cow, gold offerings, building materials, various utensils during these functions, contributed for growth of various related industries and served the economic necessity of lower middle class and deprived class of people in the society. These kinds of YAGNAMS, directly or indirectly helped all the sectors of people in the society to make a substantial income, thereby reducing the gap between the rich and the deprived.
Nowadays, usually some selected sectors and industries flourish, yielding huge some of money, to the people associated with them. But, they directly or indirectly make the people, to look out their grounding on these industries at the expense of others. For the want of quick money, to meet the economic needs, people modify themselves to the top- notch fields and the high tech jobs, leaving the rest to diminish as time passes on. The high amount of public involvement in these selected industries brings an upper middle class life, in a very short span of time. But, those who are not able to cope with these high standards are forced to remain in the state of deprived class, in the below poverty line of the society. This brings a deep economic furrow between the rich and the poor.
The YAGNAM (SACRIFICE) was performed with due respect, invoking the blessings of BHAGAVAN, by means of chanting the Vedic hymns. The food offerings were surrendered on to the lotus feet of Bhagavan and they were distributed to the revered BRAHMINS of poise character, as a divine offering. BHAGAVATAHAM states that, “The departed soul come and takes these offerings. The food offered to these revered BRAHMINS, indirectly calmed the cravings of the departed souls. The departed souls take these 4 BRAHMINS as a representative and accept the offerings in disguise. The unfulfilled wishes, dreams and cravings, of the departed souls, suitably get reduced by these divine offerings, done to BHAGAVAN.
The third kind of YAGNAM is known as MANUSHYA YAGNAM. It is otherwise called as NARA YAGNAM. Our divine parents are KRISHNA BHAGAVAN and RADHA MATHA. We are belonging to one family, namely the family of Krishna Bhagavan. The family of VASUDEVAN, namely KRISHNA BHAGAVAN is one. This is what is called in Sanskrit as VASUDAIVAIKA KUDUMBAGAM - means the one family of Krishna Bhagavan (Vasudevan). The services that are done selflessly, towards bringing in unity, divine peace and divine joy are termed as MANUSHYA YAGNAM. Providing free food to the deprived people, giving free medical aid to the sick people, improving the quality of life among rural masses, giving the divine knowledge and self –awareness to the people of remote areas, who are inaccessible to those high level knowledge and other related philanthropic activities done to the society comes under MANUSHYA YAGNAM.
The MANUSHYA YAGNAM, brings in a social integrity and social prosperity, by means of charitable activities done by the devotee’s of a SATHGURU, as per the wish of BHAGAVAN. The greatest service done to a human being is, giving him / her, the divine knowledge of KRISHNA BHAGAVAN and make him / her, to realize the infinite divine potential hidden in them through the chanting of RADHEKRISHNA NAMAM – as given by a SATHGURU. Our Guruji Amma is here to preach us the glory of the RADHEKRISHNA NAMAM and make us, a true child of our divine parents namely Krishna Bhagavan and Radha Matha. Let us admit our self on to the lotus feet of our Guruji Amma to enjoy the full potential of RADHEKRISHNA NAMAM and make our life a blissful one.

A thing may not be visible to us owing to many reasons.
(i) The thing may be far away from us, which is beyond our scope and focus of the eye.
(ii) The thing may be too small, Which our eye may not recognize.
(iii)The thing intensity may be so large that, the reflection coming from it may not be in coherence with the power of the lens of the eye.
(iv)The thing may be very close say at micro or nano or say 10 to the power of -20
i.e ( 1/1000000000000000000)
means there it is far below the focal point of our eyes.
(v)The organisms that which are not visible,because the reflection coming from them is not receptible to our human retina e.g micro organisms which need magnification, so that under the large area of space, we may have the pasibility of reflection between our retina of the eye, and from the micro organism.
(vi)Defect in the focusting power of our eye.
So, the visibility of a thing is in relation to the power of our eye only. The factor that may affect our visibility are (i)Far away distance (ii)very close proximity of unmasinable shorter distance (iii)Too small, to comprehend, which is of minute origin (iv)Too large of very huge intensity, which cannot be absorbed (v)Unmatchable wavelength (vi)defect in the eye.
The visibility or invisibility, depends on the power of an individual and is a variable quantity only. The clouds are loosely arranged and to see them, we need more resolution power in the eyes. There may be some individual, who will be in a position to see still more with high esolution power in the eyes. And this phenomenon goes on and paves way for seeing the objects of minute dimentions which may seem to be invisible to our naked eye. ONe nannot deemed to condemn, a thing that which is beyond his control and reach, and which need a very high level of synchronixing power. The invisibility to a man. may be of visibility to another man with good vision. The invisibility of microorganisms may also be visible to RISHI's, who lived in ancient vedic tradition, whose eye lenses had the magnifying power say as that of 10,000 X, as the case may be in terms of our present scientific are whether we call it as magnifying power,resolution power, lox 100x , or 1000x or by whatever term we are only giving names to the already existing phenomenon in the mighty nature. The vedic tradition scientists, namely RISHI's had the capability of seeing the invisible forms for a man with defective vision, without spectacles, the object that are actually present in visible form (REALITY)
becomes invisible (FALSEHOOD). For him, the reality itself becomes Falsehood. But the same object is visible to a healthy man of correct vision. The invisibility of a thing to a man with defective vision, itself attains the stage of visibility to a man with good correct vision or correted vision.
So, the visibility or invisibility is a relative phenomenon only. It can vary from person to person and from one thing to another. In the same way, the invisible objects or invisible forms as we name it, may be of visible to RISHI'S, who had correct vision. Our science has advanced only to 1000x or say some other lower levels of magnification and we deemed to condemn the objects that are out of our scope of magnification, as invisible. The scientists of vedic Tradition, namely RISHI'S had the ways and means to get correct vision or getting corrected vision (as that of wearing spectacles nowadays), to improve the magnifying power of the lens of the eyes, to a higher level say 10,000 X or even of higher value, to see the invisible forms, as we name them due to our lack of capability. Our incapability should not pave way to condemn and criticize, the REALITY as FALSEHOOD and FOOLISH ACT. Our science should advance further to a very higher level to accept the facts, that are given by our RISHI'S, as it is mentioned in Bhagavatham. Our intellect should be broad. Our mind should not become narrow and self centric. we should have an open mind to accept the scientific advancements, thatwere in reality, in daily affairs and as experienced by RISHI'S of vedic tradition. The scientific advancement of present are is acknowledged and enjoyed by us. In the same way scientific advancement of unimaginable growth and dimension, were prevailed in ancient vedic tradition HINDHU DHARMAM - SANATHANA DHARMAM, is so open and broad minded to allow, Scientific advancement to grow in uncontrollable dimension, leading to drastic results of super - innovations, which are now seemingly so astonishing and out of our imagination. The broad mindedness 0f scientists of vedic tradition - RISHI's paved them way to think broadly as that of boundless sky and of cosmo's, and research done by them in the form of TAPA'S., lead them to invention. We all know the word Research. Research deals with sustained deep rooted study to reveal some hidden knowledge. In the same way TAPA'S, was the word used by people of vedic tradition. We call now as Research and invention. They call it as tapa's and sidhi.
RESEARCH = TAPA'S
SIDHI = INVENTION
words of ancient tradition can also be accepted. There is nothing harm in it. We can call the words TAPA'S and sidhi, as we feel to express them, likely so. We can be free to accept the fruits that are got from the TAPA'S d0ne by RISHI'S. After all, we want only fruits. The fruits devoid of ill effects and which can give long and sustained life can always be admired and glorified. They toiled a tot . Many RISHI'S have renounced their worldly life and sacrifice it for the welfare of mankind. They done vigorous TAPA'S (didicated Research assignment) and attained SIDHI (INVENTION) in their endeavour. The invention gets its true value, only if it serves the mankind. Hundreds and Hundreds of inventions are already done by RISHI'S. They put their findings in VEDHA'S (say research treatise) in the sanskrit language (nowadays we acknowledge english for research work). To get the ripe from the inventions of our scientists, we need to learn the language in which it is presented (say english or germany or russian etc),In the same way to know the hidden facts and the inventions of RISHI'S. we need to go by their language, say sanskrit . We look for only advancement and not decrement for our advancement and not decrement.For our advancement We can take the good things from all possible ways and means. Learning the invientions with the help of sanskrit, can also lead to better scientific advancement of multi-dimensional usefulness to mankind.
The chanting of "RADHE KRISHNA" namam, as given by our sathguru - Poojya shree shree Amma, will make us complete in all sense. Let the blessings of our guruji amma, bring harmony and happiness in our life.
