Manav Dharam

Welcome to Universal Manav Dharam

  शान्ताकारं भुजगशयनं पद्यनाभं सुरेशं विश्वाधारं गगनसदृशं मेघवर्णं शुभाङ्गम्। लक्ष्मीकान्तं कमलनयनं योगिभिर्ध्यानगम्यं वन्दे विष्णु भवभयहरं सर्वलोकैकनाथम्।।   भावार्थ : जिनकी आकृति अतिशय शांत है, जो शेषनाग की शैया पर शयन किए हुए हैं, जिनकी नाभि में कमल है, जो ‍देवताओं के भी ईश्वर और संपूर्ण जगत के आधार हैं, जो आकाश के सदृश सर्वत्र व्याप्त हैं, नीलमेघ के समान जिनका वर्ण है, अतिशय सुंदर जिनके संपूर्ण अंग हैं, जो योगियों द्वारा ध्यान करके प्राप्त किए जाते हैं, जो संपूर्ण लोकों के स्वामी हैं, जो जन्म-मरण रूप भय का नाश करने वाले हैं, ऐसे लक्ष्मीपति, कमलनेत्र भगवान श्रीविष्णु को मैं प्रणाम करता हूँ।

                                                     गुरु वंदना                    * बंदउँ गुरु पद कंज कृपा सिंधु नररूप हरि।                   महामोह तम पुंज जासु बचन रबि कर निकर॥5॥ भावार्थ:- मैं उन गुरु महाराज के चरणकमल की वंदना करता हूँ, जो कृपा के समुद्र और नर रूप में श्री हरि ही हैं और जिनके वचन महामोह रूपी घने अन्धकार का नाश करने के लिए सूर्य किरणों के समूह हैं॥5॥

As a mother protects her only son even by sacrificing her own life, so the Master goes on inspiring the one amongst all living beings who have known the truth, to tread the true path. www.manavdharam.org

Meditate The student who has studied all year is able to apply what he has learnt at examination time, whereas the student who hasn't studied cannot answer the questions. Nowadays students are allowed to take their books into the examination room, but that doesn't help the one who hasn't studied but hopes to scrape through by copying. The questions are framed in such a way that he won't know which part of the book to copy from. In other words, only students who have studied will pass. In the same way, the devotee who meditates all his life will be able to meditate when he dies, because meditation and devotion will have become his very nature. Remembering the Holy Name will have become second nature to him. That is why Kabir was able to say, "God remembers me while I relax." www.manavdharam.org

True Name If you water the root, the water will automatically penetrate the entire tree. There are many names used for God, but these are all adjectival. But if you rely on the True Name, you will definitely be liberated. That is guaranteed. www.manavdharam.org

Thought Can a human being, you and I, or another, can we come upon life that has no death? Can we come upon a life that is really timeless? Which means a life in which thought, which creates the psychological time with its fear, comes to an end. Thought has its own importance, but psychologically it has no importance whatsoever. Thought is a mischief maker, thought is always seeking pleasure, inwardly, love is not pleasure, love is bliss, something entirely different. And when all that is seen very clearly and one lives that way not verbally, not in a world of misunderstanding, but when all that is very clear, very simple then perhaps there is a life that has no beginning and no end, a life of timelessness. www.manavdharam.org
