How to attain Para Siddhi by Hari Sewa? Bhagavat Gita Chapter 14.1

-

 Sewa is not some dugi dugi. The theology of sewa is not a simple thing. Hari sewa is the highest thing in the universe. It is not a mere external activity but the very essence of devotion.

To understand the theology of sewa requires years of adhyayana (study) and sādhana (practice). One must peel away superficial notions of service as duty or transaction. True sewa is the soul’s offering, free of ego and expectation, where the servant’s joy lies in the Lord’s joy.

This depth cannot be captured by quick gestures or casual sentiment. It is cultivated like a garden — with patience, humility, and perseverance. Only then can bhakti-sewa be truly understood and relished. The saints reveal that when sewa matures, it becomes natural, spontaneous, and full of rasa. In this way, sewa transforms from action into divine communion with Hari Himself.

Paraam Siddhim Can Be Attained

Many munis have attained para siddhi. Supreme perfection — para siddhi — is reserved for everyone. Claim your offer, for para siddhi is unlike worldly siddhi. Its attributes are different: it is inexhaustible, it is individualistic, it is reserved. Para siddhi is reserved, one just has to qualify. There is no competition for para siddhi.

Apara siddhi, in contrast, is its opposite. It belongs to the realm of māyā, it fades with time, it binds the seeker in pride and limitation. The wise know that apara siddhi dazzles only for a moment, while para siddhi liberates eternally.

Therefore, O seeker, just relax — sukham kartum susukham. Yours is there. But remember: the stakes are high, for āyuṣya (lifespan) is reduced and time slips away. Choose the supreme path. Seek para siddhi; leave behind the transient glitter of apara siddhi. In this lies the essence of Vedānta

Maniratnam, Raavanan and Ramayana

-
Last week the movie Ravanan got released in multiple languages – Hindi, tamil, telugu. Its a ManiRatnam magnum opus scripted around the character of Ravana – the ten headed villain in Hindu epic Ramayana. Its about exploring the ten different characters in the same person and how they interact, conflict each other. Is it like a multiple personality disorder? I don’t know – haven’t seen the movie. There is a recent spate of movies based on our holy epics. If Rajneeti by Prakash Jha was a take on Mahabharatha, Mani’s version is inspired by Ramayana. In fact this is a first take on Ramayan being used as base for modern day story telling. Mani has to be credited for his creativity and for going in the direction of unexplored waters. What are these epics? Are they just stories, fables or reality? What makes them holy?

How to Understand God's Unpaid Servants

How to Understand God's Unpaid Servants: The Glories of Serving the Lord In the realm of divine service, unpaid servants of God exemplify selfless dedication. They receive no salary, no worldly compensation, yet their hearts overflow with fulfillment. Why? Service to God is not a burden but a wellspring of joy. The act itself becomes the reward, as divine service expands the ocean of bliss— anandambudhi vardhanam . This unique experience transcends ordinary mortal understanding. God's servants, being His amsas (fragments), share in His supreme bliss. Service invigorates the soul, akin to tapta jivanam —life-giving nectar. It is not servitude but divine connection, a celebration of love that enriches and uplifts eternally. ----------------------------------------- O Krsna, master of amorous pleasure, O bestower of benedictions, we are Your unpaid maidservants. You are killing us by the glance of Your eyes that steal even the proud beauty of the whorl of supremely enchanting, hi...

Jadananda and cidananda

-
Recently went on a spiritual vacation to Navadwip. Spiritual vacations are little austere to the material body. We adjust with simple accomodation and pilgrim food. This austerity helps us to be rich in cidananda or conscious pleasure. Can Jadananda and cidananda coexist? I think before going to this question we need to understand the significant difference between the two. Jadananda is the ordinary pleasures of this world. Jadananda is the feeling of happiness derived from the interaction or friction of sense objects with the senses. When there is friction between good food with the taste buds of the tongue, jadananda is generated. Similarly all material gross pleasures are born out of friction. Jadananda is of 2 types - the gross and the subtle. The subtle Jadananda is experienced when we deal emotionally by giving meaning to material identities. Ananda due to the interaction between father and daughter is one of the examples.
