Scriptures; the Tirukural; Three Worlds and Conquering Ego with Devotion

Don’t miss Satguru Bodhinatha latest talks on Chapters 20 and 21 of the Path to Siva.

Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami

Bodhinatha’s Latest Upadeshas – Our Scriptures; the Tirukural; Three Worlds and Surrendering Ego Through Devotion
” Path to Siva, Lesson 20 – Our Saivite Scriptures” (March 22,2017)
” Path to Siva, Lesson 21 – Three Worlds; Conquer Ego Through Devotion” (April 13,2017)

Within our Saiva Siddhanta Holy Scriptures the Saiva Agamas explain the basis of temple ceremonies and worship plus yoga and jnana. The Tirukural was considered by Gurudeva to be “the most accessible and relevant sacred text.” In it are practical and helpful guidelines for our conduct in every day life. The point of family life is to gain steady improvement, forever, in self control in the midst of responsibilities in the fulfillment of family dharma. Meanwhile, not taking detachment too far but taking it in the sense of spiritually looking for happiness, not outside in other people or possessions, the world, but inside ourselves and then sharing it with family and friends. “We regard the writings of our satgurus as scripture.”

Path to Siva, Lesson 20
Tirukural, Introduction and Contents

Tirukural, Chapter 15 Possession of Self-Control

“The temple enables us to feel the presence of God, Gods and devas.” We use our inner eyes to see what’s going on in the temple, the three worlds. In the temple we’re being good dvaitists in the dimfi perspective, focused in bhakti upon God Siva. In meditation we’re monists, in the shumif perspective. We claim our oneness with Siva, Sivoham, I am Siva. In surrender, shrinking the ego through devotion, we have a realization that we’re not the doer, that Siva is doing it all. Siva’s energy comes through our soul.
