SECURITY PRINCIPLE AS PER VEDIC UPANISHAD

Kathopanishad throws light on a key security principle as to how one has to keep vigilant even while others are asleep. This Vedic canon of security definitely will help especially in the context of protecting the safety and security of any country.

Sri  Radha is none other than Sri Mahalakshmi, who out of great compassion, facilitates the individual Self to get the divine grace of the Supreme Bhagavan Sri Krishna, the glorious Yogesvara. According to the Scriptures, the best way to approach Sri Krishna is through first obtaining the grace of Sri Radha. Even a grave sinner gets redemption through her ceaseless divine grace and becomes purified to serve the lotus feet of Sri Radhakrishna. Let us not miss this opportunity to offer our humble and sincere prayers to the ever fresh and fragrant queen of Brindavan. On this most auspicious Radhashtami  day, may Sri Radha shower her blessings on all.

WELCOME BHARATAM (भारतम् स्वागतम्) --- THE VEDIC ORIGIN OF THE WORD “BHARATA“ (भारत)

The word “Bharata” (भारत) and its derivatives not only appear in a host of Puranas, Itihasas and ancient classical literature but also in the Rig Veda and other Vedas in many places. Some examples are given below:-
य इ॒मे रोद॑सी उ॒भे अ॒हमिन्द्र॒मतु॑ष्टवम् ।
वि॒श्वामि॑त्रस्य रक्षति॒ ब्रह्मे॒दं भार॑तं॒ जन॑म् ॥
--- ऋग्वेदसंहिता ३-०५३-१२

WHETHER IT IS PROPER TO BRING COWS FROM VRNDAVANA AND REAR THEM IN ASRAMAS AND TEMPLES OUTSIDE VRNDAVANA?

According to Vaishnava tradition, cows born at Vrndavana are so sacrosanct. It is believed that ardent Radhakrishna devotees rejoice in taking birth in the sacred land of Vrndavana in the form of trees, plants, creepers, birds, cows and other animals and species. Their main objective is to experience the bliss of Radhakrishna Prema Bhakti in any living form. Hence it may not be proper to bring cows from the divine land of Vrndavana and rear them in Asramas and Temples outside Vrndavana. According to great Vasihnava Acharyas, doing so may cause immense mental pain to the cows in view of physical separation from the punya bhumi of Radhakrishna and hence it has to be totally avoided.

WHICH ONE TO CHANT WHETHER MAHAMANTRA OR THE DIVINE NAME "RADHA" ?

A vaiṣṇava who devotionally chants the Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahāmantra which consists of sixteen divine names and thirty two syllables will surely attain the eternal and blissful abode of Rādhākṛṣṇa in Goloka.
dvātrimśadakṣaram mantramnāmaṣodaśakānvitam ।
prajapan vaiṣṇavo nityam rādhākṛṣṇa sthalam labhet॥
---Padma Purāṇa
The glory of Rādhā’s name is so great that Kṛṣṇa bestows premabhakti
instantly to one who starts saying the first syllable ‘Rā’. Kṛṣṇa goes into ecstatic raptures instantly and his joys fully bloom. When the devotee completes the second syllable ‘Dhā’ instantly Kṛṣṇa gets lovingly intoxicated, gets completely lost in trance and runs after him who chants the nectar-like Rādhānāma.
'rā' śabdoccāraṇādeva sphito bhavati mādhavaḥ ।
'dhā' śabdoccārataḥ paścād dhāvatyeva sa sambhramaḥ ॥
--- Brahmavaivarta Purāṇa
By saying “Rā’’ one gets the firm hold and by uttering “Dhā” one gets liberation . Thus by calling Rādhā one easily grabs mukti.
rā ityādānavacano dhā ca nirvāṇa vācakaḥ ।
tato’vāpnoti muktim ca tena rādhā prakīrtitā ॥
---- Brahmavaivarta PurāṇaPrakṛti Khaṇḍa XLVIII-42
By saying“Rā’’ of “Rādhā” nāma itself , one achieves bhakti of the highest order by the grace of the Supreme as he rushes to such a
devotee even before he utters “Dhā”.
'rā' śabdam kurvatas trasto dadāmi bhaktimuttamam ।
'dhā' śabdam kurvataḥ paścāt yāmi śravaṇa lobhataḥ ॥
--- Brahmavaivarta Purāṇa Śrī Kṛṣṇa Janma Khaṇḍa XV-70
As her loving worship consists of fulfilling the desires of Kṛṣṇa, she is hailed as Rādhikā by the Purāṇas.
kṛṣṇa-vāṅchā-pūrti-rūpa kare ārādhane ।
ataeva ‘rādhikā’ nāma purāṇe vākhāne ॥
--- Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta Ādi Līlā IV-87
Rādhā is full of ecstatic love of Kṛṣṇa.
Kṛṣṇa is full of enraptured love of Rādhā.
In life or in death.
Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are my eternal refuge.
kṛṣṇapremamayī rādhā rādhā premamayo hariḥ ।
jīvane nidhane nityam rādhākṛṣṇau gatir mama ॥
---Yugalāṣtakam
Rādhākṛṣṇa’s divine feet is our only resort.
tasyāḥ sakhīsamūhasya vallabhau prāṇa nayakau ।
rādhākṛṣṇau tayoḥpādāḥśaraṇam syādihāśraye ॥
--- Padma Purāṇa Pātāla Khaṇḍa LXXXI-62
Thus, whether one chants with devotion the Mahāmantra or the divine name “Rādhā”, both reach Goloka, the most blissful eternal abode of Śrī Rādhākṛṣṇa. In our humble opinion, the nectar like name “Rādhā” is verily the short and sweet version of Mahāmantra only .
Hence the devotees of Sri Radhakrishna are absolutely free to blissfully chant either the Mahāmantra or the divine name “Rādhā” or both as they intensely feel.

BOOK TITLED " RADHA - THE SECRET GODDESS DEMYSTIFIED " -- PAPERBACK AND KINDLE EDITIONS IN AMAZON

BOOK TITLED " RADHA - THE SECRET GODDESS  DEMYSTIFIED"

https://www.amazon.com/Radha-Demystified-Dr-Kannan-Srinivasan/dp/1981758127

This book presents a holistic picture of Radha Tattvam duly substantiated by Vedas, Puranas, Tantras and Classical Literature. Radha is unique, divine, authentic, mystic, subtle, esoteric as well as mysterious. In spite of worshipping Radha for a long time, still it is very difficult for many to understand her in the proper perspective. She is undoubtedly the secret of all secrets. As there are  a lot of misconceptions with reference to Radha even among the learned, this book is oriented towards dispelling all such doubts and wrong beliefs in this regard and establishing the true and unbiased position of Radha as embedded in the Vedic scriptures. This book reveals the exalted position that the scriptures affirm to Radha who as the most beloved consort of Krsna enables the devotees to reach the highest pinnacle of Krsna Prema. It presents deeper, broader as well as newer insights into Radha tattvam in a holistic manner answering several key questions about the authenticity, antiquity, role, relevance and importance of Radha.

SVARA MARKING OF UDATTA, PRACAYA AND SVARITA TYPES IN VEDIC TEXTS

In the Vedic Tests which are currently in use only anudatta (अनुदात्त) and Svarita (स्वरित) (without any distinction of its type) are Svara-marked. For example, this applies to the Vedic Texts of Taittiriya Sakha (तैत्तिरीय शाखा) of Krishna Yajur Veda (कृष्णयजुर्वेद:) in both Grantha and Devanagari Lipis. In the Vedic Texts there are no Svara Markings for Udatta (उदात्त), Pracaya(प्रचय) and Svarita (स्वरित) types like Jatya (जात्यः), Kshaipra (क्षैप्रः), Prashlishta (प्रश्लिष्टः) Abhinihita (अभिनिहितः), Tairovynjana (तैरोव्यञ्जनः), TairovirAma (तैरोविराम:), Padavrtta (पादवृत्तः), tathabhavya (ताथाभाव्यः). It is important to publish Veda Samhita, Brahmana, Aranyaka and Upanishads with the Svara markings of Udatta, Pracaya and Svarita types also as presented above. This would ensure clear-cut undertstanding of the Veda Svaras.
