Satsang by Pujya Swami Brahmananda
Pujya Swami Brahmananda conducted an online Satsang in Kannada on “Implementation of Traditional Practices” on 13th June, 2021.
Pujya Swamiji stressed the need of rethinking on the importance given by our elders in following the several daily rituals. Many of them have either been forgotten or neglected as blind beliefs as we have not understood their significance trying to defend our stand seeking scientific proofs & reasons. Pujya Swamiji took several forgotten habits and scientifically proved the importance and benefits of observing them. Simple rules like respecting elders, visiting temples, circumambulating the temple once, thrice, five or seven times, receiving Aarati, Teertha & Prasad, ladies wearing bangles, ear rings, etc., have a deep meaning besides physical and spiritual benefits. Our elders knew the immense good effects but in their wisdom gave them a religious flavour to ensure that they are not lost. The future generations just followed them without questioning; but of late the youngsters have started challenging them and it is the duty of all elders to equip themselves to satisfy the queries so that the rich meaningful traditions are not lost. Pujya Swamiji also emphasised that many catastrophes can be avoided and a peaceful homogeneous meaningful living possible even if we just follow the rituals without understanding their meaning that is sure to dawn as we reap the results.
Satsang with English captions was viewed by over 17000 sadhaks.
