A young five-year-old boy following His upanayanam, walked to a house seeking alms. He stood at the door and shouted ‘bhavathi bhikshan deehi’ (I humble request for alms).
The lady of the house noticed and desperately ran into the house in search of food (since He is a brahmachari (Brahmā:chari) money shouldn’t be given, only food can be offered). There wasn’t any, the family was starving, and Her husband went in search of grains left behind on the ground after harvest, so was their poverty. The lady was anxious and in sorrow unable to find anything desperately searched, came out, and went in multiple times, unable to express Her own starvation.
The boy noticed, but He waited patiently. Finally, she came out with something in Her hand, the boy opened his hand towards Her, and she dropped an old and dried amla fruit (gooseberry) in his hand as tears rolled from her eyes. The boy’s eyes filled with an ocean of silence, stared at that dried amla in His hand, He then looked up to the sky, and so it came, the Great Ganga Herself, pure and heavenly, like the day when She followed the Great Bhagiratha.
It was a dhara (flow), splendid, pure, majestic, and from Vaikuntam where in Śrī Lakṣmī and Śrī Viṣṇu watched, watched carefully, to witness the magnificence flow. That day, that boy, in a single glance of compassion and confidence captured the undivided attention of Iśvara.
One can never comprehend such exceptional literary greatness from a young five-year-old boy, Śrī Śankara Bhagavatpaada (henceforth will be referred to as Śrī Śankara), literature even today baffles scholars.
As we are about to get drenched ourselves, let’s wish that our lives became this flow as we journey through Kanakadhārā.
One should eradicate an ignorant notion that Śrī Śankara is a propagator of Śivam. It is Śrī Śankara who gave us the profound BajaGovindam, the Kṛṣṇa temples he revitalized, the panchayatana of Smartism sampradaya (5 approaches of worship including Ganapati, Viṣṇu, Surya, Śiva, Śakti), and in every literature he always performed his vandanam (salutations) to Govinda as his Guru.
At a yound age he composed over magnificant literary compositions. More than 11 of those composition were attributed to Śrī Mahā Viṣṇu. This very Kanakadhārā is also referenced in the famous Astalakṣmī Stotram, popular in Vaishna Traditions.
After Vedā Vyasa “bAdarAyaNa”, Śrī Śankara is the second brightest star of the figurative Hindu night sky.
Apparently, during Buddha’s time there was no Vedic scholar who could match his charisma and outreach, nor was anyone capable enough to bring out the universal and lofty philosophy hidden behind the yajnas or in the Upanishads.
Or we don’t know enough of this period and every history textbook is parroting the same old theory, and the holy savior Buddha came and threw them off. I, for one, do not believe we have the full story of this period, and it is a one-sided story of the apparent triumph of Buddhism.
What is not believable about this story is how Vedic philosophy suddenly fell from grace when the Upanishads were supposedly just on the horizon before Buddha’s time? Even the Brahmana and Aranyaka texts which are much older than Buddha have symbolic interpretations of yajnas and recommend no animal sacrifice. Our Vedic ancestors were not given to frequent bouts of new trends in religion.
They had maintained the Vedic culture for more than years before Buddha. It is just not convincing enough that a radical internal revolution would be needed at any time in Indian history.
OK, so that was my rant about the biases and very possible errors of history-recording.
In any case, going with the conventional story, Śrī Śankara was born at a time when Buddhism, Jainism, and other heterodox systems were stronger, and traditional Vedic adherents were dwindling.
To his credit, he systematized the Vedānta doctrines existing since the time of Vedā Vyasa, through other illustrious AcAryas such as Gaudapada and Govindapada.
Śrī Śankara was a child genius who had mastered the required Vedic expertise by the age of 8. Then he took sannyAsa and traveled all over India and revived the dormant Vedānta traditions that existed everywhere.
In this respect, he can be rightly called a great integrator of the Indian subcontinent. He integrated a larger portion of the subcontinent than any other person before he had done single-handedly. Note that I did not say “conqueror”.
Brahmasri chaganti koteswara rao mp3: Some devotional TV channels set aside special slots for airing his discourses. Karim Teli. He speaks about honoring elders, nurturing family bonds, and raising children with love and wisdom. Reviving Rituals and Cultural Practices with Meaning Chaganti brings a deeper understanding to traditional Hindu rituals, explaining the spiritual significance behind practices like puja worship , archana offerings , and fasting.
Śrī Śankara integrated the entire mind of the subcontinent by showing that the Vedic heritage of the different regions of India was valuable and had some intrinsic higher purpose than a mundane one.
He reinforced the logic and systematization of Vyasa’s Brahmasutra and updated his commentary with the latest arguments and logical counter-arguments to defeat anti-Vedic objections.
Vyasa still depends on Upanishadic “shraddhA” on several aspects of his philosophy. Śrī Śankara thoroughly uses hard and pure logic and experience to support the Upanishad statements and put forth his arguments. This counters the objection of non-Vedic opponents that they don’t even believe in the Vedās, so for them, statements like “vedAh pramANam – Vedās are an authority” are totally meaningless.
So Śrī Śankara based his entire exposition on actual experience and indisputable logic, and then also backed it up by Upanishad references.
The one astounding fact about Śrī Śankara is that he traveled to all four corners of the subcontinent and was so influential at every location that his originally established monasteries (maTha) are still functional and prestigious (notwithstanding the occasional politics and underhanded activities in recent times).
Chaganti koteswara rao His approach to bhakti is inclusive and emphasizes the inner purity of heart over ritualistic practices. Importance of Service Seva Chaganti promotes seva selfless service as a path to spiritual growth, teaching that helping others is a form of worship. He is a staunch believer in Advaita Vedanta philosophy and preaches the importance of living a spiritual life and serving society. Through these stories, he conveys lessons on humility, devotion, courage, and compassion.All this he accomplished before he hit the age of 32! So in his 20s, he was constantly moving around, debating hundreds of scholars of all ages in various towns, defeating them, and changing their thought process permanently. And to imagine that he didn’t have access to the internet, nor to airplanes, trains, buses, cars, or even a personal horse or bullock cart.
He would have been traveling through dense jungles full of wild animals and tribes without a constant source of food. (Ram Abloh)
&#;Like the rhythmic dance of Śiva allures the ganas, may his words flow to bring us solace and lure our minds and hearts to Ishwara&#;
