JAMMU, Apr 15: Navratra festival organized by Swami Paul’s Meditation Home concluded here with “Purnahuti” of Maha Gayatri Yagna on Maha Navmi today.
During the festival of nine days, apart from Gayatri Yagnas, the Dhyan Sessions with Kirtan and devotional singing and discourses by the spiritual head of the Meditation Home, Swami Paul Ji were organized. Large number of devotees from various parts participated in the festival.
Through his discourses, Swami Ji discussed various aspects of spirituality. He explained that in the supra-phenomenal experience for the fullest conception of the absolute reality there is no room for differences, no room for duality and the entire cosmic system is assimilated in one subject—The search for truth.
Swami Ji said that Sri Rama had the highest regard for Truth and Dharma and possessed qualities of the highest order. Sri Rama stands as the unrivaled embodiment of Truth and Dharma and the ideal for which he stood has become famous for all time.
Sri Rama’s mission in life was to destroy the forces of evil and restore Dharma to its rightful position carried the banners of Aryan ethico spiritual culture up to the vast continent after having vanquished the materialistic self-aggrandizing military powers by his wonderful heroism and having won over the hearts of the people at large by his moral and spiritual excellences.
Swami Ji explained that modern Hinduism has discovered the underlying unity of all saints and messengers of God at different times in different parts of the world with the message that all religious paths lead ultimately to the same spiritual goal, the realization of union with the supreme. Sri Rama appears to represent the most perfect and complete embodiment of the highest conception of human personality identified with the highest conception of Divine Personality. In him the ideas of God and man, are perfectly unified. He is therefore spoken of as Purusottama, Nara-Narayana or Manava-Bhagwan. The apparent gap between man and God, between the finite and the infinite, is wonderfully filled up by Sri Rama with human sentiments and activities, revealing the highest spiritual fulfillment of manhood, Swami Ji informed.
Sri Rama not only shows how we should put ourselves right with our fellow men but also that our love for them should be pure and absolutely free from dark, hidden motives. Anyone who wants to walk on the path of Dharma must be prepared to make sacrifices and personal feelings and sentiments must be subordinated to principle, he further added.
