Om Namashivayaa!!
This is a very happy month in our Hindu
calendar. One of the important day of the
year falls on this month. A day of positive
lights, a day of holy lights….yes it’s
Deepavali. It is very fascinating day for
every Hindu celebrating from all across the
world.
The significance of the day is that we
celebrate the downfall of the evils and
incarnation of the good. Though, having
new cloths and cracking fire works is
practiced on that day, which alone will not
change our life. It’s essential that we need
to get the purity of mind. Since every one
are going to live according to their thoughts,
if we are positive in our thoughts, your life
will be upbeat. Having negative thoughts
will only bring downbeat to your life.
Human birth is the best birth comparing to
any other creatures birth in this world. Every
Veda in our Hinduism talks about having a
good personality in our life. However, to the
contrary, there is lot of jealous occupied in
many peoples mind. Dealing with several
people on daily basis, I witness that every
day. When some one is doing good or doing
something that no one could do, one should
learn to appreciate but not to depreciate.
The Hindu Temple of Georgia, leading as
the Top best Hindu Temple in USA is the
only Hindu Temple with the highest priests
in the Nation, and the temple’s financial
income form the devotees is approximately
2 Million dollars per year. You may ask how
it’s possible. The honest answer is that, you
will live according to your thoughts, which
means that whatever goes around comes
around.
Within just 1 year of opening the Temple,
the temple has become very famous all
over the Nation and also going to be the
Religious tourist attraction of the world,
after the completion of massive project of
108 Shivji Temple. In fact it’s going to be
the 1st and the only Hindu temple in the
world with 108 Shivji.
The elaborate arrangements are going on
to do the ground breaking for the New 108
Shiva temple and the entire Temple is going
to be constructed with 100% pure marble
and polished granites. Already, the marble

carvers are working on their part in Gujarat,
and the granite parts are in Tamilnadu,
India.
Ms. Minal Ben from Gujarat and Mr.
Haresh Shah from California have made a
wonderful Architectural planning, which is
going to be the only Temple with this kind
of Architecture. The temple premises will
have approx 51000 sq.ft., of which approx
16,000 sq.ft. will be a court yard inside the
Temple.
All this is possible just with “BLESSINGS”.
As I always say, “YOU COULD CASH
OUT YOUR BLESSINGS, WHEREAS
YOU CANNOT BUY BLESSINGS WITH
CASH”.
Why most of the Temples are struggling with
inside politics, egos, and jealousy? I have
asked this question in many different ways.
Most of us should have come across lot of
Hindu Temples, where lot of Physicians
and Big business people are the Trustees,
or Directors but the temple is still suffering
in their monetary area for the Temple. Why
is this happening? I know a Temple where
they have close to 90 Trustees where most
of them are Physicians or High Tech bosses
earning at least $5000 a day, however still
the temple is in debt for more than 20 years.
My advice to those great people is only
one. Please donate at least 1 week of your
income to the temple, and then definitely
the Temple will have Millions of dollars for
any much years to run the Temple. Being
a Trustee they should have the Trust in
the Trust before they go for donation with
someone. When I am not interested to put
my money being a Trustee of a Temple, how
come I could ask someone to donate money
for the Temple?
In Tamil there is a famous saying that “MUN
KAI NEENDAL MULANKAI NEELUM”.
Donate unconditionally before questioning
about someone about his or her donation.
In my 40 years of my life in this world, I
have come across thousands of people
approached me to settle their problems, and
as soon as their problems are solved, most of
the people never even pick up the phone call
from me. Any way they will pay for their
bad karmas. I have helped a Physician in an
association when he stole lot of money from
his Group practice, he approached me to get
spiritual help,
and being a
Swamiji, I
helped in all
the spiritual
way possible to come out of the issue. This
guy cried like anything, telling that will
loose his new home and he is going to come
to roads. Now he is doing well after our
Spiritual healings, however he never came
to our Mandir afterwards. Even to the pity,
he is a Trustee of that an association. I am
wondering how an association will come
good with these kinds of trustees, who do
not have any kind of good sense or integrity
at all?
It doesn’t mean that every one is like him. I
have come across thousands of good souls,
who have lot of gratitude for my services,
and still they are supporting us. Here what
I am trying to emphasize, is that one should
be responsible and do not be jealousy,
or egoistic. Seeing someone who is rich
enough, appreciate his or her goodness.
No human in the world is 100% right. If
the positive side is higher than the negative
side, then they are called us Good souls,
otherwise they are called us Negative souls,
sometime could be living Evils.
The Hindu Temple of Georgia is opening a
New Hindu Mandir by the name “HINDU
TEMPLE OF WEST GEORGIA” on
November 10th and 11th in Carrollton,
GA and I welcome every one to come and
participate in this Holy Venture
Also our Temple Devotees Mr Raj,
Ms Suganya and Mr Chandra are floating
a separate Town ship called “RISHI
VILLAGE”, a retirement or a primary
home in West Georgia for the people
interested to have peace of mind and
retreat activities. It’s going to be a master
planned community, with a Meditation
and Yoga place. The project is coming in
approximately 250 Acres. The total project
cost is estimated to be 150 Millions. This
project is in conceptual stage, and more

During
the past issues we
discussed about few ideas
about spirituality and the
benefits of leading a spiritual
life. In this issue I wish to share
some more ideas. I thank Swamiji for
giving this opportunity. Now days it is
very common to say as “I need to relax for
a while”. The word relax has a great meaning
in it.
R- Rest (not lying on the bed and sleeping but giving
rest to the mind)
E-Efficiency. By relaxing the mind we can have a great
efficiency to work.
L- Love. By the efficiency of our work we can give and get
the love.
A-Affectionate. By giving and getting love we can have the
affection and we can show our affection too.
X-excellency. By adopting all the aforesaid things we can be the excellent
celebrity of this entire universe.
Even if we miss any one of the aforesaid, we have to lose all the things. Next a
big question arises. How we can get all the aforesaid? The answer is very simple.
By leading a spiritual life we can get all the aforesaid things. We have to relax our
mind and body. Then we can be very happy. We can conquer the minds of all.
A lot of scholars have written a lot about spirituality and the benefits of leading a
spiritual life. There is no connection between the religion and spirituality. Religions are
only ways or routes to lead to the super human power. But spirituality is not the route or path
that leads to the superhuman power but it is the only thing that makes a human being as a super
human being. It is a style of life. We have nothing to do such as meditation or prayers to lead a
spiritual life. By leading a spiritual life we can easily have a special place in the universe. I wish to
discuss some more ideas of Adhi Sankaracharya, the intellectual giant, about the development of one
self and lead a spiritual life. Realizing the Atman within is a secular exercise needed to save the human
race. It transcends all boundaries of geography and culture. Here one question arises.

Can a piece of literature written more than a thousand years ago on a seemingly esoteric subject like knowledge of the
Self be of relevance to us as we are on the threshold of the supercomputer age of the 21st century? Even the majority of
today’s intellectuals, let alone the common man, would tend to answer this question in the negative. But a closer scrutiny
of the subject will soon reveal that not only is it as relevant today as it was at the time of writing, but even the contents and style

Siddhi Times USA 8

 of

approach of
this historic
landmarkin
Adi Sankara’s
metaphysical
expositions are eternally
applicable, perhaps even
more so in times to come.
The Light Within tzzo assess
the relevance of Atmabodha in
today’s and tomorrow’s context,
one must first look into what it
stands for, so that one can consider
how it can be adapted in a fast changing
milieu. Atmabodha tells how to realize the
Light within ourselves whatever be the forces
operating from the external environment.

He tells more about spirituality and he has taken the

sky and ocean as examples. The sky is color less. But it
is blue to the naked eyes. The water is also color less but
it takes the color of the thing which is immersed in it. Like
that the human soul or atma is very pure. By the practices it
becomes either good or bad. There are three major parts in the
human soul. They are sat, chit and anand. He describes more about
two things that give troubles to the pure soul. They are ignorance
and fear caused by the ignorance. He teaches the ways to come out of
these two major things. Ignorance is removed not by action, exemplified
by today’s ‘retrace’ in pursuit of one thing or another, but by knowledge of
Self alone as simply as darkness is removed by light alone. Once the cloud of
ignorance is out of the way, the Atman shines brilliantly like the sun. Through
ignorance, the mind believes that it is the doer of things (kartritva bhavana) and
enjoyer of benefits of action (bhoktritva bhavana). But the Atman is neither the doer
nor the enjoyer. It is totally unmoved, eternal and pure, although as the gross body, it
shows existence (Sat), as the subtle body, intelligence (chit) and as the causal body, bliss
(ananda).

Fear Due to Ignorance by wrongly identifying the worldly-wise intellect with Atman, the
phenomenon of Aviveka or nondiscrimination results, leading to the “I know” problem. This is
a common stumbling block on the path to Atmabodha or self realization of spirituality. Another
similar pitfall to guard against is misinterpreting the Self as the living being, like the rope as serpent
(‘rajjusarpavat’). Such ignorance causes fear. Knowledge of the real Self eliminates this fear.

The Self cannot be realized without negating the upadhis or material things one by one and asserting the
real. This comes out beautifully in one of the verses written by him which is called as “Atma Bodha” or self
realization. The lakshana vakya of Aitareya Upanishad in the Rig Veda (Prajnanam Brahma), the upadesa vakya
of Chandogya Upanishad in Sama Veda (Tat twam asi), the abhyasa vakya of Mandukya Upanishad in Atharvana
Veda (Ayam atma brahma) and the anubhava

Vakya of Brihadaranyaka Upanishad in Yajur Veda (Aham brahma asmi) distil the essence of realizing the oneness
of jivatma and paramatma. Whether deep within one’s own self or in the universe at large, it is the same Indivisible Self

Siddhi Times USA 9

 that prevails. While the visible elements like the body are
short-lived like bubbles on water and only attract avidya or
ignorance, the real Brahman is for ever and can be described
as satya-jnana-ananta or eternal truth-absolute knowledge
infinity. Once identified and realized by the individual as

“I am indeed the Brahman”, its therapeutic effect in

destroying mental agitations can only be paralleled by an
effective medicine destroying a disease process in the body.
To diagnose and rectify the problem we have to see inward. He
detailly gives the ways to look inward. Sankara gives sensible
practical instructions to the seeker through meditation on the
Atman. Such a relentless effort ultimately pays off, Often to
the sudden wonderment of the seeker like- one who keeps
looking?

For an ornament all around him, only to realize suddenly that

it is around one’s own neck. Such an achievement promptly
endows the seeker with an eye of wisdom with the help of
which the path to merger with the Brahman becomes visible
clearly. This ultimate state is one of ‘jeevanmukta’, liberated
though living. This liberated living takes one to lead a spiritual
life. The crux of this phenomenon is turning inward. Sankara
uses the simile of a lamp inside a pot (‘ghatasthadeepavat’)
to describe it.

It need not illuminate external objects simply because they

do not matter any more. The light within, namely Atman,
illuminates literally the cave of the heart, where it matters
most. Sankara describes the nature of Brahman in vivid
terms. It is the Greatest in attainment and know ledge and
results in and is itself in his the ultimate bliss. It is wholesome
and continuous and is reached by a step by step negation of
the peripheral things of life, just as ghee is obtained by a
stepwise processing of milk, though it was an integral part
of milk throughout, but not grossly visible. In the following
issues we will discuss more in this subject. I thank Sri Sri
Siddhar Swamiji for giving me an opportunity to share my
ideas with you all.

Your health:

Unlike others Hinduism is

not a religion but a way of life.
Hinduism grants you a healthy
life style. The Hindu practices
like bath in the morning,
do Yoga, stay away
from meat etc.
promotes health
and hygiene.

Promote peace universally:

Hinduism doesn’t say that only Hindus go

to heaven, nor proclaims that only Hindu
gods are the true one. Hinduism is the only
religion which says that all paths lead to that
ultimate one. An important Hindu prayer is
“Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu”
which means let the whole
world be happy!

No hard and fast dogma:

Hinduism is flexible and there are

really no hard and fast rules you need

temple.

No conversion, no pressure:

You really don’t need to convert to Hinduism and still be a Hindu.

If you want to get away there is no hard and fast rules either. The
process if you want to adopt Hinduism / convert is simple too.

Care for the environment:

You will see that the temples have gardens and promote growing
of trees and vegetation. Even snakes are given a place and fed
in some places. Animals are given protection and shelter.

Promotes art and art forms:

The Hindu temples themselves are masterpieces of art and

sculpture. Dance and music forms an integral part of the
religion and the classical dance and music are closely tied to
Hinduism and a must for many Hindu festivals and occasions.

Hindu festivals:

The fun activities associated with Hindu festivals cannot be seen in any other
religion. For Deepavali or Diwali, you have fireworks, you play with crackers.
For Holi, you play with colors and the list is endless. For Hindus, life is a
celebration.

 Worship the female form:

Hinduism has high standards for women and Hindus worship

godesses also. Hindu woman have a high place in the Hindu
society.

Mythology and scriptures:

The Hindu scriptures are pearls of

wisdom. They have good morals
and will help you in every walk
of your life.

 The Goal of Life and Peace to Mankind
The Goal of Life and Peace to Mankind.
The Cosmos or the Universe consists of
different religions like Christianity, Islam,
Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism,
Jainism, Taoism, Shinto, Confucianism,
etc.
If we delve deep into the teachings/
preaching’s of any religion we find that
it rests on the sound principles of love for
God, Compassion for Mankind, Peace,
Brotherhood and Harmony among the
human beings. God is the Supreme Being
and the creator of animate and inanimate
things in the world.
God is ONE
We can see God in all HIS creations. The
sea, mountain, trees are all the epitome
of Gods creativity. Lot of examples has
been demonstrated and proved by famous
Saints and Maharishis from India and
abroad. During the 18th century, Swami
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, was able
to see the presence of Jesus Christ in
his Garden, even though he was strong
believer and staunch devotee of Goddess
Kali.
We call the same water as ‘Thanneer’
in Tamil, ‘Paani’ in Hindi and ‘Water’
in English. Though it may be called by
different names, still water is water…the
same applies to God. We may give HIM
different names and connotations like
Allah, Eshwar, Vishnu, Shirdi Sai Baba,
Lord Venkateshwara, Lord Siva, and Lord
Brahma. But they all represent the One
Supreme Power above us.
In modern world, despite the advancement
in technology and new inventions
taking place every day, and having all
the luxuries of life, we are not able to
understand and discover our inner self.
Whereas, Spirituality takes you closer to
God and helps you attain the goal of Self-
realization. This has been demonstrated
and proven to the modern world by
Swami being taught by Paramahamsa
Yoganananda in Self-realization Institute
in Los Angeles.
The highest form of religion is Spirituality.
People tend to use religion as a divisive
force and fight among themselves, based
on religions. They create religious wars f.Most of the Divine experiences should
and disturb the peace and tranquility in be felt and understood in a holistic
the world. People who have reached the manner, than for self oriented or personal
highest level of spirituality would not be convenience.
fighting between religions and create a - Sridhar Rangaswamy
chaos...since they understand the entire
world is one Universal Brotherhood.
When we look at the Bible, Ramayana and
Mahabharatha, The Vedas, Sai Satcharitha
from Shirdi Sai baba, all of them preach
the same concept. How we can lead a
virtuous life, as an individual, how we
can work in unison with different sects,
communities, religions etc…. Through
the above Holy books, people can practice
Spirituality and lead a harmonious life.
Selflessness - Highest Form of Virtue
The most important virtue that we
need to practice, instill in ourselves is
Selflessness. It is pertinent to quote the
illustrious example of Swami Ramanuja
(who founded the sect Vaishnavism/
Vaishistadvaita) who was taught by his
Gurus not to reveal the mantra to reach
Liberation of the Soul/Moksha. Despite,
disobeying the commands of his Guru,
he preached the villagers, the essence of
Moksha of liberation from the rooftop of
a house.
What are we writing here and what are we
trying to accomplish or conclude here?
a. God is one - Universal for the entire
Cosmos - including animate and
inanimate things.... His presence can be
felt anywhere in the world.... You can call
HIM by any names.
b. Faith and Belief are individual...through
different experiences.
c. Being selfless is highest form of
Divinity - getting closer to God-through
good deed, words and actions.
d. God is Omnipotent, Omnipresence-it
has been demonstrated including in the
Kali Yuga.
God can make impossible things happen.

T
here’s this story of a young boy whose dialogue with
death is as fascinating as it is exploratory, coursing down
the six chapters of the Katha Upanishad.
Sage Vajasravasa, to get divine recognition, performed a
sacrificial rite which required him to give up all his possessions
and pleasures. But he gifted away only those cows which were
diseased, old and lame,keeping the good ones for himself.
Sensing his folly, his young son Nachiketa asked him, “Father, to
whom will you give me?” Finding no response, the son repeated
his query. Losing patience, his father burst out, “I give you to
death”.
Nachiketa took his father seriously. He proceeded to the realm
of death.But, Yama, the king of death, was out and returned only
after three days. Apologising for having kept his guest waiting
so long, he offered Nachiketa three boons. The boy first asked
for his father’s well-being.Second, he sought the knowledge
required to perform fire sacrifice which could open up the path
to heaven.
Yama reverted to the nature and identity of the atman: Soundless,
formless, intangible, undying, eternal, without beginning,
without end,immutable, beyond nature, is the self, smaller than
the atom, greater than the cosmos, subtler than the subtlest,
beyond tarka or logic,beyond cause and effect, luminous and not
depending on any reflected light.
Knowledge of the atman is unique, the fruitful product of spiritual
illumination, truthfulness, detachment and devotion and not of
intellectual adroitness. One who is freed from greed realises the
glory of the atman. Man is the rider, the body the chariot, the
intellect the charioteer and the mind the reins. The senses
are the horses and the roads they travel are mazes
of desire. Man has to rise above worldly
attachments and temptations by a
judicious use of the sense
organs,self-control
and

But Yama was taken aback at the third request - Nachiketa

wanted to know what happens after death. How could
Yama reveal such a profound truth? Yama
tried to dissuade the boy from his
quest but in vain. Impressed
by the boy’s devotion

It is necessary to tread the path of

pleasant, preya .
Gokuldas Nair
While sreya implies whatever leads to true well-being, preya
includes short-lived pleasures mainly derived through sense
organs. The wise concentrate on the former while the ignorant
remain satisfied with the latter and get enmeshed in worldly ties.
“They fall, repeatedly, birth after birth, into my jaws”, he said.

Yama instructed Nachiketa to know the atman, the self, “the

ancient effulgent being, the indwelling spirit, deeply hidden in
the lotus of the heart. This is difficult. But the wise, following the
path of meditation, know him and are freed alike from pleasure
and pain”. The self is immortal. One who has realised that the
self is separate from the body, the mind and the senses has fully
known him and becomes immortal.

However, it is not as
mysterious or complex as it
is often portrayed to be. So
here in the next few pages
you can get a quick review
and understanding of what
it is.
I am only going to give a short summary
of the Vedic texts here. I have already
written a more complete analysis
elsewhere and want to keep this
introduction short. So, to begin with,
the Vedic texts are written in Sanskrit.
Sanskrit, which literally means “cultured
or refined”, is the classical language
of India and is the oldest and the most
systematic language in the world.
Forbes Magazine, (July, 1987) wrote:
“Sanskrit is the mother of all the
European languages and is the most
suitable language for the computer
software.” It is older than Hebrew or
Latin. According to the PBS video “The
Story of English” the first words in the
English language came from Sanskrit.
The word “mother” came from the
Sanskrit word “mata” and “father” came
from Sanskrit word “pita”.
Believe it or not the word “geometry”
came from a Sanskrit word called
“Gyaamiti” meaning “measuring the
earth”. The word “trigonometry” came
from the Sanskrit word “trikonamiti”,
which means “measuring triangular
forms”. Numerous other similarities
and connections can be found between
Sanskrit and many other languages.

WHAT ARE THE VEDIC TEXTS
They started with Shruti.
Shruti literally means “That which is
heard”. For long periods of time there
was no Vedic literature. It was a vocal
or oral tradition, and passed down
accordingly. The Vedas and Upanishads
were in Shruti form for a long period of
time.
In fact, the word Upanishad means “Upa
(near), Ni (down), Shad (sit).” This means
that the teachings of the Upanishads are
conveyed from Guru to disciple, when
the disciple sits very close to the Guru.
The very first of the sacred books of
Vedic culture, in fact the oldest books
on earth, are called the Vedas. The word
Veda means knowledge. The word Veda
came from the root word vid meaning
“to know”.
The Vedas are the very first scriptures
of Hinduism. Vedas, as described by the
scriptures, were given by God. There are
four Vedic samhitas, which are the Rig-
Veda, Sama-Veda, Atharva-Veda, and
Yajur-Veda.
The Sanskrit word samhita means “put
together”. They contain wisdom that has
been assembled to teach men the highest
aspects of truths which can lead them to
higher levels of existence, as well as to
God.
The Vedas also discuss rituals and
ceremonies to attain self-realization
as well as wisdom dealing with many

other aspects of life. These four samhitas
primarily contain the basic texts of hymns,
formulas and chants to the various Vedic
deities.
To briefly described them, the Rig-Veda --
Veda of Praise -- contains 10,522 verses in
1,017 hymns in ten books called mandalas.
The Rig-Veda is the oldest book in the
world. The Rig-Veda was around for many
years before it was finally compiled in
written form. According to Bal Gangadhar
Tilak and the Vedic tradition, it was written
around 5000 BC. The Rig-Veda is older
than Gilgamesh (2500 B.C.) and the Old
Testament.
In the Rig-Veda there are 100 hymns
addressed to Soma; 250 addressed to
Indra; 200 hymns addressed to Agni; and
many addressed to Surya. Few others are
addressed to the Ushas, Aditi, Saraswati,
Varuna, and the Asvins. Lord Vishnu is
not addressed so often therein because
the Vedas focused more on appeasing the
demigods for blessings to attain material
facility rather than liberation.
The Yajur-Veda, which is essentially the
Veda of liturgy, contains some 3988 verses
dealing with rules and regulations for
conducting rituals and also offers various
levels of wisdom and advice. It is based on
the Rig-Veda and consists of prose as well
as verse. This Veda is indeed a priestly
handbook, even describing the details of
how to make an alter.
Aryanakas are additional books that
contain mantras and interpretations of the
Vedic rituals. These books also known as
“forest books” since they were used by
saints who had retired to meditate in the
forests.
The Upanishads are texts by different
saints that reveal ultimate truths. Many
of them are connected with certain Vedas.
The Upanishads basically explain the non-
material aspect of the Absolute Truth and
the oneness of Brahman.
In this way, they do not really show that
much about the personal nature of the
Supreme Being. Thus, a person will not
have much insight into the Supreme
Being’s personal form by studying only
the Upanishads. However, some of them
do go into introducing the fact that there
is more to understand about God beyond
the Brahman.
The Sama-Veda, the Veda of chants, offers
knowledge of music in 1549 verses. Sama

that also goes on to
explain spiritual truths
to the aspirant. But these
are presented in codes,

by the spiritual master. So any edition of
the Vedanta Sutras will mostly have large
purports that help explain the meaning of
the sutras. The basis of these explanations
will depend on which school of thought in
which the teacher has been trained. Thus,

as cows, then the Bhagavad-gita can be

The Bhagavad-gita consists of 18 chapters

and over 700 verses. It deals with all types
of yogas, the means of self-realization. It
is in the form of a very lively conversation
between the warrior-prince Arjuna and
his friend and charioteer Lord Krishna.

Siddhi Times USA 20

This was spoken at the outset of the great
Mahabharata war, in the middle of the
battle field at Kuruksetra. This can still
be visited just three hours north of New
Delhi.
Just before the beginning of the war,
Arjuna refused to fight when he found he
had to kill thousands of his own kinsmen
to be victorious in the war. Lord Krishna
advised him on a very large variety of
subjects in a question and answer format.
At the end, Arjuna took Lord Krishna’s
advice and fought and won a very fierce
war. The Gita has an answer to every
problem a man may face in his life. It
never commands anyone what to do.
Instead it discusses pros and cons of every
action and thought. Throughout the Gita
you will not come across any line starting
or ending with Thou Shalt Not. That is
the reason why the Gita is the darling of
millions of seekers of truth throughout the
world.
There are many versions of Bhagavad-
gita. The very first English translation
of the Gita was done by Charles Wilkins
in 1785, with an introduction by Warren
Hastings, the British Governor General of
India. One of the most popular translations
was done by Sir Edwin Arnold, under the
title The Song Celestial.
One of most descriptive and accurate
translations of the Gita was done by
His Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada of the International Society
for Krishna Consciousness, called The
Bhagavad-gita As It Is. Almost all saints
in India have published their versions of
the Bhagavad-gita, some of which arrive
at various conclusions or viewpoints. So
one does need to display some caution
in picking which edition to read. Most
intellectuals in the world go through the
Gita at least once in their life time.
Aldous Huxley wrote in his introduction
of The Song of God by Swami
Prabhavananda and Christopher
Isherwood: “The Bhagavad-gita is perhaps
the most systematic scriptural statement
of the perennial philosophy”. The Gita
won the interest and admiration of great
intellectuals such as Von Humboldt of
Germany and Emerson of America. It has
also influenced many Western thinkers,
such as Hagel and Schopenhauer.
Robert Oppenheimer, the very first
Chairman of Atomic Energy Commission
and father of Atom bomb was a great
admirer of the Bhagavad-gita. He learnt
Sanskrit during the Manhattan Project to
understand the true meaning of the Gita.
He really shocked the world, when he
quoted a couplet from the Gita (Chapter
11:12) after witnessing the first Atomic
Explosion in the state of New Mexico,
which reads, “If hundreds of thousands
of suns rose up into the sky, they might
resemble the effulgence of the Supreme
Person in the universal form.” Later when
he addressed congress regarding the Atom
Bomb he said the Atom Bomb reminded
him of Lord Krishna who said in the
Bhagavad-gita, “Time I am, the devourer
of all”.
The Puranas are the Vedic religious
histories of the universe which expound
various levels of the Vedic truths. They
are divided into three sections.
The six Puranas that address Lord Vishnu
are:
1. Vishnu Purana
2. Narada Purana
3. Srimad Bhagavata Purana
4. Garuda Purana
5. Padma Purana
6. Varaha Purana.
The six Puranas that address Lord Siva
are:
1. Matsya Purana
2. Kurma Purana
3. Linga Purana
4. Vayu Purana
5. Skanda Purana
6. Agni Purana.
The six Puranas that primarily address
Lord Brahma are:
1. Brahma Purana
2. Brahmanda Purana
3. Brahma-Vaivasvata Purana or
the Brahma-Vaivarta Purana
4. Markandeya Purana
5. Bhavishya Purana
6. Vamana Purana.
Besides these, there are an additional 18 to
22 minor Puranas. The 20 major Puranas
include all the above as well as the Shiva
Purana and the Harivamsa Purana.
Of all Puranas, the Srimad Bhagavata
Purana addressed to Lord Vishnu, and
which discusses the detailed pastimes
of Lord Krishna, is considered the most
important. It contains 15,000 stanzas
in 12 cantos. It was written by Sage
Badarayana, also known as VedaVyasa
or Vyasadeva. Vyasadeva, after writing
all of His previous Vedic books, said the
Bhagavatam was His own commentary
and conclusion of all Vedic thought.
The greatest exponent of the Srimad-
Bhagavatam is Sage Suka, the son of
Sage VedaVyasa. This book was recited
to King Pariksit by Sage Suka in one
week before the death of the King by the
bite of a serpent. Much of the book is in
dialogue form between King Pariksit and
Sage Suka.
The Srimad-Bhagavata consists of stories
of all the Avataras of Lord Vishnu. The
10th chapter of the book deals with the
story of Lord Krishna in detail. The last
chapter deals exclusively with the Kali-
Yuga, the present age, and about the last
Avatara of Lord Vishnu, Kalki. There is
also a vivid description of the Pralaya or
the great deluge in the last chapter.
According to the Bhagavata Purana the
universe and creation came into existence
because God in a pastime (Lila) willed to

 do so, and to manifest
His material inferior
energy. According to
this scripture, there
are nine different
ways of exhibiting
Bhakti or devotion to God like
listening to stories of God, meditating,
serving and adoring his image and
finally self-surrender. This book is an
authority on Vaishnavism in Hinduism
and is a primary text to all Viashnavas
(worshipers of Lord Vishnu and His
avataras) including those of the Hare
Krishna Movement.

The Agamas are another group

of scriptures that worship God in
particular forms, and describe detailed
courses of discipline for the devotee.
Like the Upanishads, there are many
Agamas. They can be broadly divided
into three sets of Agamas, namely:
Vaishnava Agamas - worship God as
Lord Vishnu; Shaiva Agamas - worship
God as Lord Shiva; Shakti Agamas -
worship God as Mother Goddess.

There is no Agamas for Lord Brahma

(God of creation). Shaivites have 28
Agamas and 108 Upa Agamas (minor
Agamas). Shaktas recognize 77 Agamas.
There are many Vaishnava Agamas
of which the Pancharatra is one of the
most important. Each Agama consists
of philosophy, mental discipline, rules
for constructing temples and religious
practices.
The Tantras started during the Vedic
age, which consist of cosmology, yogic
exercises, etc. Tantra is very important
and very vast. The Sanskrit word Tantra
means to expand. Tantrism researched
into Astronomy, Astrology, Palmistry,
Cosmology, as well as the knowledge of
the Chakras and Kundalini power, etc.
The Upa Vedas are the considered the
smaller Vedas. They provide various sorts
of knowledge and Vedic sciences. These
include:
1. Ayurveda - Hindu science of health
and longevity.
2.Dharnur-Veda- Hindu science of
archery and war.
3. Gandharva-Veda - Hindu science of
Music and Dance.
4. Artha Shastra - Hindu science of
economics and government.
The Vedangas are also a group of
scriptures attached to Vedas which also
contain various Vedic sciences. These
include:
1. Dharma Sutras - Codes of Manu astrology and astronomy. Both were part
Yatnyavalkya, etc.
2. Jyotisha - Astrology and Astronomy
3. Kalpa - rituals and legal matters
4. Siksha - phonetics
5. Chhandas - measurements
6. Nirukta - Etymology and
7. Vyakarana - Sanskrit grammar
To explain a little further, Ayurveda is the
Vedic scripture of medicine. It consisted
of more than 100,000 verses initially. Still
it is considered as an Upa Veda of the
Atharva-Veda.
Sometimes this medical system is called

Ayurveda means medicine. The remedies
in Ayurveda are mostly herbs and
natural substances. The gods of healing
in Ayurveda are Prajapati, Brihaspati,
Indra, etc. Ayurveda originally classified
diseases into physical, supernatural and
spiritual. Ayurveda is practised widely in
the State of Kerala in India. It is taught in
the Ayurveda College, Kottakkal, Kerala.
The science of Jyotisha is meant as both
of the group known as the Vedangas.
Astrology has come out of the Vedic
sciences, and it does play a major part
in the lives of people. It is still used
widely for many purposes. The God of
Astrology is Lord Subramaniyam, son of
Lord Shiva. Some say that, once upon a
time, astrology was a very well developed
science, but today’s astrology is only a
skeleton of what it once was, with most
of the valuable knowledge lost due to the
practice of utmost secrecy by the learned
men in Hindu society.

Vimalakīrti is by some considered to be
the first Zen Buddhist Master aside from
the Buddha himself. He is a historical
figure living around the time of Gautama
Buddha (sixth to fifth century BC). He
is the subject of the Vimalakirti Sutra.
Through him we can observe the following
principles relating to meditation.
Just meditating with a peaceful sitting
is not sufficient. The desires should be
discarded through heart as well as body.
Mind should not be permitted to wander.
Any kind of events, which is not appearing
as final and also not disappearing, affirms
the meaning of instability.
It cannot be expected that all people are
pure. If two disciples happen to fight
themselves, the faults or sins should not
be elaborated. The situation should not
afflict the hearts.
Vimalakirti asked one of the other disciples
of Lord Buddha, which would he choose
to access the fullness of wisdom; in future
or in present times? Or otherwise had he
secured it already?
To be Continued Page No 25
For discussion if it is past, that had passed
already; if it is present, that is not going
to stand still; if it is future that has not yet
come. The realization of observing the
truth is that it connects the moment the
birth takes place and also at the moment
the destroyable activities are being done;
and finally at the moment when death
commits leaving of the world. When the
wisdom reaches, then the detachments,
the thoughts and the looks are settled
with a state of peace which is not through
body; but through the heart. More can be
explained through the practices followed
by Gautama Buddha, which are as below:
Upon those who committed sin, one
should not get anger or hurt him with
horrible words.
One should not hate old aged and sick
patients. To fear upon the death to be
thrown away.Understanding instabilities
of properties, the total desires are to
be sinned. Upon this world, nothing is
appearing and nothing is disappearing-
one should realize this truth.
A conversation took place to access
the opinions of five bodhisattvas
(Monks) regarding the concepts. The
wisdom, which is the gate of oneness,
occurs when the bondage is detached and
even the freedom exists and the happiness
of devotion is observed. There could be
no hatred on earthly life;
On this finite universe, there is no
beginning or end. One with wisdom
can understand this fact as told by
bodhisattva.
Lightness and darkness seem to be so
different but they are one. When one
attains the final stay, all will be stopped.
There is no light as well as no darkness.
That peaceful state is the way for reaching
oneness. This information was guided by
another bodhisattva.
Which is good and which is bad? When
one can not differentiate that, he has to
leave away and then the oneness will
reach him. This was another bodhisattva’s
explanation.
It was another explanation by a disciple
and Bodhisattva Manjushree, who told
Vimalakirti, the state of asking any
questions and answering to any will give
the supreme excellence of oneness.
After all these discussions, Manjushree
asked the opinion of Vimalakirti about
oneness and the state of acquiring it.
Vimalakirti described that the perfect
silence without any words will show the
way to wisdom. Birth and the death are
the parts of life. Philosophy, science,
religious and arts are telling about birth
and death.
Lord Buddha described that upon the
base of love, with good thoughts of
rightfulness should be followed in life. Is
death end of life? How to lead the life with
meaningfulness could be secured with the

answers of Buddha. The awareness should be given preference
in every incidence. Every decision should be decided
without worry; when such practice is possible, the
anger, disappointment and dejection
could be controlled and the opinion
of pardoning will rise and the life will
be with grace.
The freedom can be observed. The life will be
with ease. This is the way one can meet the death
without difficulty. At this juncture, by means
of meditation in every aspect if the things are
followed, one can realize all kind of things with
its distained realities. After the observation of
all things with scrutiny, a perfect detachment
can be reached.
On every incidence of releasing the breath
we feel relaxation. All kinds of thoughts and
bondages, even forgetting the body, one can
become as a person of childish nature. This is
occurring as per mediation. If one can continue
this properly, then he can understand himself and
realize the wisdom.
The teachings of Buddha are suitable for all times and
to whom ever that may be. An individual can realize
himself and become a person with wisdom. The paths
formed by Buddha will lead for peace in all the countries
of world. This point is illustrated by the former Indian
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. The doctrines of Buddha
can make the mankind to relieve from mass destructions.

MEDITATION IS NOT A TECHNIQUE
In the life of every one, this should spring automatically.
Meditation is not given to any one with certain basic qualities
but to one’s capacity. This can be developed in all aspects.
You have to select a good place in the bank of a river and
sit amid the atmosphere of surroundings of birds and
under the shadow of trees. If, that is not possible, the home
is good. If the meditation is done in a particular place the
vibrating waves will guide to reach the peace. The bondage
and difficulties will be detached. You can observe the mind
as that of a child.
When there is nothing to laugh at, then laughing by self will
happen. By that time the hatred will be on everything. Then
relaxation will come and dictate that the life itself is a play.
Whenever one happens to make a journey inside the mind,
the person is not as he, but the feeling of witnessing the
events only the result. By that time the person can not feel
any thing. But feeling the happiness and also peace could
be possible.
Whatever the beautiful and joyful occurrences happens to
cross, the reality is that the person is not there. But the state
of observer of the feelings only could be possible. Such stage
of continuation and then in the end, the specific moment
would prove that all the influences and observations are
unstable. Even the silence is also not there. The happiness
is also not there. It will mingle in the state where there is
nothing. To specify any object, that is also not possible.
The person involved in it will stand as a subject. Here he
can see himself. Even if he looks at mirror, the mirror will
not reflect anything. It will be just a mirror. Because the
person is the person himself. He can feel and observe the
reality and that is wisdom or “Mukthi”. The subject who
was considering now turns as object!

Health TIP: 1 Water - Source of Health
and Healing!
Isn’t interesting to know that most
healthful lifestyle habits are FREE (good
posture, clean thoughts, plain natural
food, exercise and deep breathing, all of
which promotes energy and health into
body)
The most important factors that make for
a healthier, happier, longer life are ….
1. Drinking right amount of pure
water
2. Breathing pure unpolluted air and
practicing deep breathing
3. Sunshine
4. Natural food
5. Exercise
Let’s start with the first factor WATER
- Mother nature‘s greatest beauty and
health tonic!
People who ingest a sufficient amount
of the right kind of liquids ( pure water,
fresh organic fruits and vegetables and
Siddhi Times USA 26
their juices) have better health and body
functions and circulations over all,
which are most important to super
health and long life! After all an
average human body is made up
of 70% water.
Water is a vital component
of all body fluids, tissues,
cells, lymph, blood, and
glandular secretions. Water
holds all nutritive factors in
solution and acts as a transportation
medium to the various parts of the body
for these substances. Liquid is necessary
for the proper digestion of food. The
amount of water a body needs depends on
temperature, climate, one’s activities and
health - 8 glasses of 8oz each per day is
average.
When we drink a glass of water it goes
straight to our stomach. Part of the water
is absorbed directly into our blood stream
through the walls of our stomach and some
of the remaining goes to our intestines
to keep the food we eat in a liquid state
while it is being absorbed. This water is
later absorbed into the blood. We have
15 billion powerful brain cells which are
75% water. The right kind and amount of
water helps improve our mind and brain
power and makes us think better and more
accurately. One of the most important
function of water is to flush the toxins and
salt from the body.
Also, drinking the right amount of water
is one of our best natural protections
against all kinds of virus infections,
and other infectious diseases. When the
body’s tissues and cells are kept well-
supplied with ample water, they can fight
viral attacks more efficiently. That’s why
doctors recommend plenty of water and
rest when we get flu. If the body’s cells
are water starved, they become shriveled
up, parched and dry, making it easy for
viruses and diseases to attack.
The new scientific truth and level of
thinking about the Human Body that will
empower people to become practitioners

When I was:
4 years old: My daddy can do anything.

5 years old: My daddy knows a whole lot.

6 years old: My dad is smarter than your dad.

8 years old: My dad doesn’t know exactly everything.

10 years old: In the olden days, when my dad grew up, things were sure different.

12 years old: Oh, well, naturally, Dad doesn’t know anything about that. He is too old to remember his childhood.

14 years old: Don’t pay any attention to my dad. He is so old- fashioned.

21 years old: Him? My Lord, he’s hopelessly out-of-date.

25 years old: Dad knows about it, but then he should, because he has been around so long.

30 years old: Maybe we should ask Dad what he thinks. After all, he’s had a lot of experience.

35 years old: I’m not doing a single thing until I talk to Dad.

40 years old: I wonder how Dad would have handled it. He was so wise.

50 years old: I’d give anything if Dad were here now so I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didn’t
appreciate how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him.

e all at sometime or the other have felt immense
strength, inspiration and courage to do something
extraordinary. I have seen an old man barely able to
walk, doing unebelievable gymnastics at the chennai Railway
station, to help save a young boy from falling between a running
train and the platform. The strength and courage surges from an
unknown source and at the right time. He did manage to save
the boy and after that he could barely walk !! The strength is
provided to you if you believe. There is abundance of energy
and strength in each of us waiting to be awakened.

We are not, we perceive that we are ....we are truly the manifest
form of the unmanifest supreme and our vedas and learned
masters has many times emphasised this truth over and over
again. We just mould into some kind of personality. The truth
is that our real personality is supreme bliss, immeasurable and
inconquerable. There are certain personality types that we all
carry within us, such as the son, daughter, child, the lover, the
mother, the father, the leader , the saint..... Some of these types
present themselves strongly, while others lay dormant.

There is immense strength in each one of us, but in some of us

this is underdeveloped to the point that we are unable to stand
up for ourselves, even when necessary. There can be many
reasons for this. We may have grown up with a parent and in a
society that is very dominant, and we responded by repressing
our potential completely. On the other hand, we may have grown
up with parents in whom this aspect was dormant, so we never
learned to awaken it in ourselves. There are so many factors that
inlfluence our performance. The remedy lies in having faith in
ourselves and our Guru.

A survivor is someone
with the strength
to stand up for
what he
or she

Siddhi Times USA 33

 believes; someone who perseveres in the face of challenges and
obstacles; someone who speaks and acts in the service of an
ideal; someone who protects those who are too weak to fight for
themselves. Regardless of the reasons for an underdeveloped
inner strength, you may always notice the lack of its mighty
presence and wish to awaken it. You may need to stand up
for yourself in a certain relationship or situation, or you may
have a vision you want to realize, and you know you will
need the courage, energy, and strength of a warrior to succeed.
Similarly, if you find that you often feel scared, angry, anxious,
or powerless, awakening this sleeping giant, may be just the
antidote you need.

One excellent way to cultivate the inner strength and closeness

to the supreme field of energy and love, is to choose a role
model who embodies the qualities of bravery, strength, vitality,
wisdom, love and compassion. This person could be a character
in a myth, movie, book, or a historical or living person you
admire. Simply close your eyes each day and contemplate the
quality of energy that attracts you to this person, knowing that
the same potential lives within you.

Confirm for yourself that you are capable of bigger and mightier
things to bring prosperity, happiness, peace and love in this
world, and awaken the fire of your own inner courage. If you
are able to visualize this in your role model ..you will begin to
see it in yourself. See it, hear it believe it and conquer it !!!!

Experience the growth for yourself. Just put yourself in the

footsteps of your role model....the Guru. I have not met Sri
Selvam, but I admire him for his achievements both in the
spiritual and material worlds and I know for sure that I admire
him for what he is and what he is doing and that I sincerely
want to follow his foot steps and strengthen his mission.

 The Trouble Tree
The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had
just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him
lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his ancient
pickup truck refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat
in stony silence.

On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked

toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching
the tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the
door he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face
was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children
and gave his wife a kiss.

Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my

curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had
seen him do earlier.

“Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” he replied.” I know I can’t help

having troubles on the job, but one thing’s for sure, troubles
don’t belong in the house with my wife and the children. So
I just hang them on the tree every night when I come home.
Then in the morning I pick them up again.”

He paused. “Funny thing is,” he smiled, “when I come out in

the morning to pick ‘em up, there ain’t nearly as many as I
remember hanging up the night before.”

Gifts From The Heart
According to legend, a young man
while roaming the desert came across
a spring of delicious crystal-clear
water. The water was so sweet
he filled his leather canteen so
he could bring some back to
a tribal elder who had been
his teacher. After a four-day
journey he presented the
water to the old man who
took a deep drink, smiled
warmly and thanked his
student lavishly for the
sweet water. The young
man returned to his village with a
happy heart.
Later, the teacher let another student taste
the water. He spat it out, saying it was
awful. It apparently had become stale
because of the old leather container. The
water. I tasted the gift. The water was
simply the container for an act of loving-
kindness and nothing could be sweeter.”
I think we understand this lesson best
when we receive innocent gifts of love
from young children. Whether it’s a
ceramic tray or a macaroni bracelet,
the natural and proper response is
appreciation and expressed thankfulness
because we love the idea within the gift.
Gratitude doesn’t always come naturally.
Unfortunately, most children and many
adults value only the thing given rather
than the feeling embodied in it. We
should remind ourselves and teach our
children about the beauty and purity of
feelings and expressions of gratitude.
After all, gifts from the heart are really
gifts of the heart.

In a field one summer’s day a Grasshopper
was hopping about, chirping and singing
to its heart’s content. An Ant passed by,

corn he was taking to the nest.

“Why bother about winter?” said the

premiere of Dr. Subramaniam’s latest
work, Freedom Symphony, was presented

Also in the program were Karnatic Classi-

Without a doubt this world famous singer
is one of the favorites of both the critics
and the masses. Her exquisite and mel-

placed her in a unique spot amongst the
many performing musicians. This art-

Sr. Balram Puri at a very tender age. Her
outstanding talent was clear at the age of
8. Some of the Hindi movies where she
has portrayed her songs are, Pyar Jhukta

has song many devotional songs. Kavita
has won many prestigious awards which
include Film Fare Awards, Screen Award,
Sansui Viewers Choice Award, Screen

Nilima Mehra (NM): I am honored to
be sitting alongside Dr. Subramaniam’s
wife, Mrs. Kavita Krishnamurti Subra-
maniam. I call her the jewel, the crown
of music. Kavita ji, welcome to Washing-
ton DC, and especially to our TV Show,
Chitrmala.
Kavita Krishnamurti Subramaniam
(KKS): Thank you, and thank you for
having me on your show.
(NM): What’s up with you? We Washing-
tonians haven’t seen you ever since the
90s.
(KKS): When I came in yesterday, I
realized just how much I had missed
D.C.
(NM): No, it’s not only you. We Wash-
ingtonians have missed you and your
live performances equally. You come to
the U.S. so often and always bypass D.C.
(KKS): No, it’s deliberate. But I’m so
glad to be here.
(NM): I know you are nightingale voiced.
You have God’s gift. How do you manage
to sing in so many different languages?
(KKS): To a certain extent, it’s my up-
bringing. I am from a very traditional
Tamilian family. I was born and brought
up in Delhi, so I was exposed to North In-
dian culture. I was adopted by Bengali par-
ents. We lived together and there was an
exchange of culture between my parents
and them. I was very attached to my aunt,
who I said was Bengali, and obviously she
was fluent in Bengali. Of course, being in
Delhi I learned North Indian classical mu-
sic, I spoke Hindi, and I could understand
Punjabi. Then, when I moved to Bombay
to the Indian Film Industry, I sang a lot
of jingles and commercials. We would do
one commercial and then they would ask
us to sing
the same in
12 different
languages for different places. Because I
knew Bengali, I was able to sing in Udiya,
Asameese – and they’re very much relat-
ed. Because I was in Maharashtra, which
is Bombay, I was able to sing in Marathi
and Gujarati. Being a South Indian, I was
able to cover the South Indian languages.
By the time I began to sing for the films,
my past experience helped me to sing in
various languages.
(NM): What was the very first song that
you sang for Bollywood?
(KKS): The very first song I sang was
in Bengali and it was based on Tagore’s
song with Lata Mangeshkar for a Bengali
film, while the music composer was He-
manth Kumar. This was in the early 70s
while I was a student in college. Then, if I
fast forward to the 80s – I sang for a film
called Mang Bharo Sajna. In those days,
I was dubbing songs; by dubbing I mean
that I would sing songs that finally Lata
Mangeskhar would sing for the films. My
voice was used for shooting purposes. Fi-
nally the produces saw and thought and
I guess it was destined that they should
keep the songs in my voice.
(NM): What are your current songs that
you are working on in the Indian film In-
dustry?
(KKS): I worked on Mera Bharat Mahan,
and then Chaitaniya Maha Prabhu. At the
same time I have been singing for a lot of
religious films, Kanada movies, Bengali
movies, and Bhojpuri movies.
(NM): Tell me your background. Where
in India do you hail from?
(KKS): My parents are from Tiruchira-
palli, which is in Tamil Nadu. My father
used to be in the service in Delhi, so my
childhood was in Delhi. Later on, many
years in Bombay, and now because my
husband and children are in Banglore I
live there but work in Bombay.
(NM): My goodness (haha). You’re a
world traveler! You’re always on the air-
craft! folk, Hindi movie songs, and so on. Out
(KKS): Yes, indeed I travel a lot.
(NM): How many songs have you re-
leased in your musical career?
(KKS): I’m sure I have released at least
2,500 songs. Unreleased, I probably have
an equal amount. A great number of songs
that we sing for films, due to some pro-
duction problems, are never released.
So, those songs just sit there and never
get released. Therefore, I can very easily
say that my total releases are from 4,000
– 4,500 songs.
(NM): You sing in so many different lan-
guages. If I were to ask you to pinpoint a
favorite language – could you do that?
(KKS): Apart from Hindi, one of my
favorites is Bengali. I grew up learning
Tagore, so I love Tagore’s songs. I find
that language flows beautifully, especial-
ly when you sing – there’s beauty in the
notes. The other language which is very
nice – it allows little little music inflec-
tions – marathi.
(NM): You sing semi-classical, classical,
of all these, which do you prefer?
(KKS): As a listener, I love to listen to
pure raghas. When it comes to singing
myself, I prefer the semi-classical songs
based on raghas. I enjoy it – may it be
ghazals or bhajans.
(NM): What are your thoughts on English
– American music?
(KKS): I grew up listening to Frank Si-
natra, Barbara Streisand, and Fitzgerald.
Some of the jazz musicians are simply
amazing. In certain concerts with my hus-
band, I have seen them all coming up on
stage and there the collaboration and fu-
sion of music is beautiful. I find jazz ex-
tremely brilliant and interesting.
(NM): I know that music is the language
of love. How do you see it and how do
you incorporate it with the dances in the
Hindi Cinema?
(KKS): Some of the songs that I have
song, especially in Devdas, Hum Dil De
Chuke Sanam, and Hawa Hawaii, have
been brilliant. The way Sri Devi was pic-
tured in Hawa Hawaii on my song was
breathtaking. The choreography in the
song Nimbooda or Kahe Ko Chede or
even Piya Ghar Aya were very well por-
trayed. However, I cannot say the same
for all the songs. Some producers/direc-
tors have beautiful visions. People like
Subash Gahi and Leela Bansali have such
perfect vision.
(NM): Do you have preferences for mu-
sic directors.
(KKS): Not really, but I have found peo-
ple like Subash Gahi, K. Vishwanath and
of course Sanjay Leela Bansali - - before
I come to the microphone, they give me a
clear picture of how the song will be por-
trayed in the movie. This makes the job
fairly easy. Then there are other people
who are quite new to the industry. They
are not able to provide the actual picture
– nevertheless you end up singing their
songs. Sometimes they end up good, and
other times not so good.
(NM): I know that both of your children
are musicians. You are a world class sing-
er as well as a mother. How do your chil-
dren look upon you?
(KKS): I hope fore and foremost that
they look upon me with love. I have very
sweet children. They practice music at
home. My eldest son, who is becoming
a doctor, sometimes sings with me on
stage. He is very fond of ghazals and he
Siddhi Times USA 48
listens to Jagjit Singh, Mehndi Hassan,
etc. My daughter even practices Western
Music and Ambi, my younger son, prac-
tices violin. When I see all this – I feel
that my life is complete. It’s very easy for
the children to get caught up in pop mu-
sic. Pop music comes later, but I want that
their foundation and roots be strong with
Indian Music. Later on, they can explore
and experiment further like my husband
did. Basically, I feel that you’re an Indian,
and you have your strong roots and strong
foundation then your esteem only goes up.
From there you can diverse into any pop
or ethnic music. You must know your mu-
sic, your culture, and your tradition first.
The strength of Indian music is that you
can improvise anytime, and anywhere.
(NM): Earlier on, I had an interview with
Dr. Subramaniam. I asked him to shed
light on you. I shall not tell you what he
said about you. Now that he’s not on the
set madam, what do you have to say about
His Highness?
(KKS): His presence in my life is the
best thing that could ever happen to me. I
married late, and got married at the peak
of my career. I had decided that when I
get married the person whom I married
will come first before my career. I should
feel very strongly about that person, and
that’s what happened to me. Honestly, I
have great belief in music. My husband is
one of the finest musicians. I have seen as
well as worked with a whole lot of classi-
cal musicians. What sets him apart is his
education – his humility. At home, he’s a
very gentle and loving person. He is quite
a family man. He makes certain that his
wife and children are all well before he
touches his violin. He’s a very kind and
considerate human being.
(NM): Remember Kavita ji, that your
husband is first a medical doctor.
(KKS): Yes I agree. But I must say, that
he is a fine musician. I have yet to find
someone who has such fine ears for pitch-
ing. If that one shruti is one correct, it is
absolutely glaringly clear for his ears. I
must admit that he has been born with ex-
tremely sharp ears.
(NM): Like I said to him Kavita ji, when
you are a world famous artist and a world
renowned musician, nothing on Earth can
bypass your ears.
(KKS): It is also good to know that some-
body is so spiritual about your music. I
am really happy that I found him in my
life. My life is complete with my children
and my husband.
NM: You have a very good looking fam-
ily. I saw them at breakfast. We are very
anxious to see them on stage. What will
your daughter and son be performing on
stage?
(KKS):: My son will be performing a
duet with my husband in one of the sym-
phonies, and my daughter will be joining
me in the Freedom Symphony, which is a
duet. I will be singing in the Global Sym-
phony by myself. In the first symphony,
my husband will play with the orchestra.
(NM): Well, we’ll be there. The entire
Washington Metro Area is very excited.
You have come here to our city after sev-
eral years. I want to thank you for your
time. Before I let you go off the camera,
would you like to convey any messages
our viewers and to your fans out here?
(KKS): First of all, it’s nice to be here.
Thank you for your support. I’m looking
forward to this concert as this is a new
venture for me, to be singing with the
Eastern and Western Orchestra. I’d like
to tell all the children to please continue
your music practice as sincerely as you
can, because one day you’ll be able to
blend your Eastern Music with the West-
ern music. One day you’ll come out with
something that will be totally individual-
istic for you all.
(NM): Thank you ma’am. When East
meets West, they create superb artists like
yourself. You are excellent.
(KKS): It was my pleasure being with
you today. It was extremely nice talking
to you.

LINGOTHBHAVA MOORTHY
--Once upon a time, a tug of war started
between Brahma and Vishnu as who will
see the leg and who will see the head of
Lord Shiva? Brahma took the shape of a
bird and started flying towards the sky.
Vishnu took the shape of a pig and started
digging the earth. They went on their
affairs. But they couldn’t succeed in their
attempt. Then Brahma saw a flower and
said “Can you please take me with you?
Also, tell everybody that you have seen
the head of Lord Shiva and took me from
his head”. On having the wish to establish
his fame, Brahma told the lie. On hearing
this Lord Shiva got angry and came out.
He told,”Oh Brahma! you have told a lie
that you have seen my head. But you have
not seen my head. As a punishment to this,
there will be no pooja to you in this world.
The flower which made you to tell this lie
is unfit for my pooja from this moment. If
anybody performs pooja to me with that
flower will
also get
my punishment. On
seeing the truthfulness
of Vishnu I take the shape
of Lingam. Those who perform to my
Lingam shape are the blessed.” Then He
took the shape of Lingam. The ling shape
is a beautiful shape of Lord Shiva. In the
ordinary lingams there will be no face
or figure. But in the Lingothbhava, the
Lord Shiva is seen with four hands. The
first right hand is the blessing hand. The
second right hand is adorned with an axe
to cut off the sins and evil spirits of the
devotees. The second left hand is adorned
with his pet deer. The first left hand is the
giving hand. His legs are seen only up
to the knees. His head is seen only up to
3/4th. Brahma is seen as a bird near his
head and Vishnu is seen in the shape of a
pig near the knees. By praying his deity
we can have a great success in all our
attempts. We can be a man of truth. There
is no doubt that we will be blessed with
everything in our life.

 This story is about one of many attempts by
evil King Kamsa to kill Lord Krishna.
The demonic King Kamsa had assembled
with his ministers and important associates
at his palace. They were discussing about
the King’s futile attempts in eliminating
Krishna, the small boy. One of his minister
said “the braveness and the cunningness of
Boothana served nothing; she fell dead”.
Another associate commented about Sakada
Asura, who went as wheel and striked
horribly on the child, Krishna, which also
resulted in the death of Sakada Asura.
Siddhi Times USA 56
The King wished to send another valiant
Asura from their team. They unanimously
agreed to send Bhaka Asura. He was
the brother of Boothana. Boothana had
disguised as female and attempted to kill
Krishna by feeding him poisonous breast
milk, but Krishna killed Boothana by
sucking the entire strength.
King Kamsa gave all his wicked ideas and
cunning ways to Bhaka Asura. Bhaka Asura,
unlike others, had the talent to change forms,
enlarge and shrink his body. He requested
King Kamsa for a description of Krishna.
Kamsa, having not seen Krishna himself, couldn’t describe him,
and commented that as a child, Krishna should not exceed the
size of a calf.
Bhaka asura wondered with a big laughter “if he is a tiny boy,
a soldier from your court can put an end to the boy; I really
wonder why I should be needed!”
Kamsa interfered, “No, he is strange and mighty. He seems to be
having extraordinary powers.”
Bhaka asura challenged and told “I will terrify the cows and
cowherds, and when the boy comes to rescue them, I will
swallow him and put an end to him.”
The Brindavan was as usual busy. The cows and cowherds were
getting ready to leave for the green fields. Just as they crossed
the city entrance and entered the road to the fields, Bhaka Asura
came in the form of a big bird. The beak of the bird was so long
and the feathers were so far stretched, that the shadow could
cover over 10 banyon trees. The bird blocked the road and with
its wings, forced the wind to blow heavily. The strong wind was
scattering the cows and cowherds.
The monstrous bird projected the long beak to pick the cows
and the cowherds. Just as the bird began projecting its beak,
Krishna, who was accompanying the cowherds, came to the
front. As expected, the angry bird (Bhaka asura) was pleased
to see Krishna. When the bird leaned its beak towards Krishna,
he did not have any kind of hesitation or fear. He went straight
towards the huge beak and jumped in and sat on the tongue of
the bird. With immense happiness on getting its prey, the bird
swallowed him and closed its beak.
As time passed, the bird began to feel some uneasiness on its
wing-sides. As more time passed, it felt some jolting in its
stomach. Krishna, the little boy started growing bigger and
giving big kicks inside the stomach of the bird. The bird, in spite
of all its strength and ability to bear the pain, began trembling.
The bird started bleeding in its mouth. Krishna gave a final kick
close to the bird’s heart. The bird immediately started to vomit
blood. Through that discharge, Krishna came out of the bird’s
mouth. His body was drenched fully with blood. The bird fell
dead and lie on the ground in the body form of Bhaka asura.
The villagers and other people nearby had by now, rushed to
the spot. Everyone, including the cowherds was happy to see
the heroic deed of Sri Krishna. Rani Yashoda, Krishna’s mother,
upon hearing the dangerous adventure of her boy, rushed in haste
and took her son back home. She was always a fearful, innocent
mother. She felt grateful to god and worshipped the deity at her
palace. The Vedic saints were called and prayers were offered
for the welfare of her child forever.

By Sri Selvam “Siddhar”
When astrologers talks about transits,
it’s easy to get confused. First, transits
refer to the movement of planets
across the sky. The ephemeris (an
astrological/astronomical almanac
showing orbital movement of the Sun,
Moon, and planets) tells us just where
the planets are each day. Armed with
this information, the astrologer can
project (or predict) when a planetary
transit might impose its influence on a
given individual.
The study of transits, and the effect that
they tell, is fundamental in astrology. A
transit aspect occurs whenever a planet,
moving in orbit, forms a sensitive angle
with one of the planets, the Sun or the
Moon in your natal horoscope. The
transits show the trends in your life
the ups and the downs brought about
by circumstances that you face. In an
earlier time, astrological predictions
generally forecast events. Most current
day astrologers now see the effects of
the transits in more psychological and
subtle terms, suggesting opportunities
or roadblocks.
The readings are often not very
specific, but nonetheless, if you
follow them, you will see that they
do foretell the essence of events and
changes. Transit aspects often signal
opportunities or warnings relative to
certain activities and actions. Being
aware of pending transit aspects may
alert you to the time when you should
move ahead, and they may also send
a clear message that the moment is
not the time to stick your neck out. In
either case, astrology is not a science
upon which you or anyone should
base their life.
Transit aspects should not be used
as an exclusive tool to make up
your mind about important issues,
but instead, it’s a tool to help make
a balanced decision. It may also be a
tool to help you understand whatever
problem or situation that is occurring
in your life at a particular
time. If your situation seems
to be difficult now, the
transit aspects in play may
explain why this is so, and
when positive changes may
be coming about. The good
times and the hard times
are all part of the human
experience.
As per the ancient texts available
Jupiter is considered to be the most
benefic and powerful amongst all
the planets and capable of warding
off the evil results and bestowing
prosperity and contentment to the
native. Jupiter takes about 12 years to
Siddhi Times USA 59
complete a complete cycle of 12 zodiac
signs. It stays for about a year in each
sign. Whenever Jupiter moves in to 2nd
, 5th , 7th , 9th and 11th houses from the
rashi chart as per its transit it gives good
results. We can say it is a Karaka planet
for these houses.
In Astrology 2nd house indicates about
monetary position and family. If, Jupiter
is transiting over the 2nd house and is
in strong position it will bestow native
with Gain of money, domestic happiness,
addition to the family if it is expected,
marriage to the native if he/she is not
married, new position, status, it’s transit
over 2nd is also good for material
possessions, good for investment,
purchase of articles of enjoyment; good
speech and increase in business.
Similarly 5th house is house of creativity,
children, love, amusement/entertainment,
progeny, speculation etc. If Jupiter is
transiting over 5th house and is strong
in natal chart it will bestow native with
happiness from progeny, gain of money,
new love relations, favor from elders,
rest assured enemies will be defeated, it
will give success in education, increase in
progeny, purchase of precious stones will
be possible, It will provide mental peace,
marriage if native is still unmarried and
success in romance.
7th house is house of partnership and
marriage. This house also is concerned
with native’s ability to work in harmony
with others. Seventh house is exact
opposite of the first house or ascendant
of self which basically means you blend
your own personality with people you see
and work with so that you may pursue
shared objectives and goals. If Jupiter is
transiting over 7th house and is strong
in natal chart it will bestow native with
gain of wealth, marriage, meeting with
senior officials, this transit is also better
for social relations, improved relations
with partners, gains in litigation; birth of
children, acquisition of vehicles and gains
in bed pleasures.
In Astrology 9th house is the house for long
distance traveling, spiritual and religious
deeds, higher education, philosophical
pursuits, this house also rules your
public expression of your ideas and it is
also called house of literary efforts. If
Jupiter is transiting over 9th house and
is strong in natal chart it will bestow
native with General success, pilgrimage,
philosophical advancement, distant
residence, it is also good for marriage,
writing/literary pursuits, publication, it
will also encourage expenditure on good
deeds, it will bestow honor, favor from
Govt and senior officials, induce foreign
travel, birth of children, give promotion
and increased income.
In Astrology 11th house is considered
house of friends, it is also considered house
of gains, ambitions and its fulfillment,
elder brothers, society and community. If
Jupiter is transiting over 11th house and is
strong in natal chart it will bestow native
with Gain from friends, elders; gain
of honor, blessed with son, marriage if
unmarried, it invokes interest in religion,
this transit is good for speculation, shares,
promotion, success in education, exams;
stable mind. When Jupiter transits in 1st,
3rd , 4th , 6th , 8th ,10th and 12th houses
from rashi chart it is not considered very
favorable, but as Jupiter is the most
benefic amongst the benefic planets it
does not give very bad results unlike a
malefic planet.
Jupiter is transiting over 9th house for
natives having Aries as their Ascendant.
For these natives Jupiter is lord of 9th and
12th houses of their horoscope. According
to ancient Hindu Vedic astrological texts
available this transit will give excellent
results to Aries ascendants. The natives
will come out of all the obstacles and
hitch in their career and financial pursuits.
Desired and expected result will flow to
you and give you remedy from the heart
aches in Career related matters. You may
face sudden and unexpected divine helps
while achieving and striving for your
goals. Stay away from potentially risky
ventures if you are running a business.
Speculative activities should be curbed
and avoided at all costs.
Jupiter is transiting over 8th house for
natives having Taurus as their Ascendant.
For these natives Jupiter is lord of 8th and
11th houses of their horoscope. According
to ancient Hindu Vedic astrological texts
available this transit will give malficious
results to Taurus ascendants. People who
are expecting marriage should wait for
one more year to get good match and
proposals for their happy married life. If
you are married then expect happiness
and contentment and good married life.
This transit though not indicates success
in almost every sphere for you. Whether
you are running your business or working
for someone this transit will not be good
for you. Any way you can get relief by
performing the rituals prescribed by a
learned Vedic Scholar. If you are in a job
then chances of up gradation/elevation in
position or long due promotion is entirely
possible.
Jupiter is transiting over 7th house for
natives having Gemini as their Ascendant.
For these natives Jupiter is lord of 7th and
10th houses of their horoscope. This is a
very good transit for you. Saving grace is
the aspect of Jupiter on your Ascendent,
3rd and 11th houses which will give you a
prosporous growth in this year. If you are
running your own business then expect a
good profit and a great speed in achieving
your goals. Results would be very easy
only by taking simple o efforts. You can
enter in to new ventures as results will
be good for you. Those who are waiting
for the marriage will get a very good life
partner.
Jupiter is transiting over 6th house for
natives having Cancer as their Ascendant.
For these natives Jupiter is lord of 6th
and 9th houses of their horoscope. This
position of transit is considered to be not
good and this is going to be an inauspicious
transit for you. Transiting Jupiter’s aspect
on 2nd, 10th and 12th houses also shows
worse results to you. This transit shows a
lot of problems connected to profession
and family life. Even though your social
contacts would increase and you’d be
unable to derive even minimum benefits
from them.
Jupiter is transiting over 5th house for
natives having Leo as their Ascendant.
For these natives Jupiter is lord of 5th
and 8th houses of their horoscope. This
is going to be a mixed transit for Leo
Ascendants. Transiting Jupiter will aspect
on 1st, 9th, and 11th houses also and
affect these houses. You may find that
your mother may get ill or have sluggish
health in this year. You will come across
the problems over real estate/property
issues. Even though your Health may
give you a few causes for concern you
will come across these problems by the
divine aspect of Jupiter on your ascendant
during this period.

Jupiter is transiting over 4th house for
natives having Virgo as their Ascendant.
For these natives Jupiter is lord of 4th
and 7th houses of their horoscope. This
is going to be a mixed transit for Virgo
Ascendants. By virtue of transiting
Jupiter’s aspect on 8th, 10th and 12th
houses Virgo natives will have good
fortune of benefits of these houses. You
may have increased contacts with people
around you. Extended traveling is quite
possible during this transit even you may
not greatly be benefited but would come
out to be with more understanding of the
worldly matters.
Jupiter is transiting over 3rd house for
natives having Libra as their Ascendant.
For these natives Jupiter is lord of 3rd
and 6th houses of their horoscope. In
Astrology3rd house indicates about
monetary position and family. This is also
known as house of moveable possessions
owned by a native. It also shows your
ability to handle money and earning
power. It is also known as the house of
eloquence of speech. Jupiter is karaka or
significator of 3rd house. If you’d be clear
and focused about your goals then there
are indications of monetary gains in this
transit. Your ability to earn will be tested
in this transit and subject to what you
want and how much you want this transit
will help you in achieving your financial
goals.
Jupiter is transiting over to the 2nd
place for natives having Scorpio as their
ascendant. For these natives Jupiter is
lord of 2nd and 5th houses. Transiting
Jupiter will be having it’s aspect on 5th,

benefits. At work you’d be much
appreciated and if expecting promotion
or increase in pay/salary it will get

last week of October 2008.
Jupiter is transiting over the 11th house
