Jnaanam
Spiritual insight for all times
We have profound knowledge of the many galaxies and planets in our cosmos to the tiniest organisms inhabiting our home, the Earth. Yet our quest to find answers to 'Who or What am I ?', 'What is my true nature ?', ' Is there a beginning of and an end to my existence ?' 'What is my purpose ?', 'How do I find eternal happiness ?', etc. The Guru is the One who quenches our thirst with the timeless Amruta of Self-Knowledge.
Spiritual knowledge is the existence of love, peace and purity of mind that exudes calmness and equipoise to dissolve life problems. It illumines everything through direct experience. A path that encompasses science and/or religion gives us the ultimate vision of Truth, the relationship between man and the rest of manifestation as well as the Source of everything. Spirituality, an insight into the nature of consciousness, is common to all religions and free from any prejudices.
तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्नेन सेवया |
उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं ज्ञानिनस्तत्त्वदर्शिन: ||
tad viddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena sevayā
upadekṣyanti te jñānaṁ jñāninas tattva-darśina
Know That (Self-Knowledge) by complete
surrender, inquiry, and selfless service to the Guru.
The sages who have realized the Truth will
instruct you in that Knowledge.
Chapter 4 - Verse 34 - Srimad Bhagwad Gita
Bhaarateeya Saṁskṛti
Bhaarateeya Saṁskṛti teaches us how to stay grounded while growing in the modern world. It is about understanding life, not believing in anything blindly. It teaches self-discipline, respect, balance, and responsibility for our actions. These values guide our choices, reduce stress, and give us inner strength. Knowing this heritage gives you perspective, confidence, and a strong inner compass.
Sri Kailash Ashrama Mahasamsthana actively participates with the Bharateeya Santa Mahaa Parishhad (BSMP) to preserve and protect Bhāratīya Saṁskṛti, while creating awareness among people about its timeless values, which remain relevant to people across generations and the world. Their initiatives align with global efforts toward peace and sustainable development of the world.
In 1969, Sri Tiruchi Mahaswamigal said.....
Jnaanam is not something attained.
It is revealed when all else is set aside.
Excerpt from the book His Holiness Sri Tiruchi Swamiji, authored by Sri Ramanananda Swamiji and published in 1969 on the auspicious occasion of the 40th Jayanti of Sri Tiruchi Swamiji.
