Shakti Lacking in India
I believe that the main cause
of India's weakness is not
subjection,
nor poverty, nor a lack of spirituality or Dharma, but a
dimnution of
thought-power, the spread of ignorance in the motherland of Knowledge.
EverywhereI see an inability or unwillingness to think
- incapacity of
thought or "thought-phobia"... It is the one who can fathom and learn
the truth of the world by thinking more, searching more, labouring
more, who will gain more Shakti.... Look at Europe.
We, however, are not worshippers of Shakti; we are worshippers of the
easy way... Our civilization has become ossified, our Dharma a bigotry
of externals, our spirituality a faint glimmer of light or a momentary
wave of intoxication. So long as this state of things lasts, any
permanent resurgence of India is impossible.
We have abandoned the Sadhana of
Shakti and so the Shakti has abandoned
us. We practise the yoga of love, but where there is no Knowledge or
Shakti, love does not stay, narrowness and littleness come in.
Sri Nagaraj Tanguturu has kindly provided the following information about obtaining the pravachanams
in this page.
If you do like, please try to purchase these from
the source so that you will be contributing to the noble cause (Sri Ayyappa
Temple). Here are the contact details so that you can order whole lot of MP3
cd's. Also another set you can get is from Hyd. I am giving both here.
First source:
BramhaSri Malladi Chandra Sekhara Satri gave excellent talks on Bhagavatam,
Ramayanam, Mahabharatam and Kartika Puranam at Sankara Matt, Hyderabad. He
was their Asthana Kavi and retired at the age of 70 (after 50 years of
excellent service to community by doing research and conveying the
information in the form of Pravachanamulu). Each purana is for 9 days
spanning 10+ hours of talk. Also Sankara Mutt made it very economical.
Each CD with 10+ hours of MP3 cost only 100 rupees. (These talks came to
my life as God Given gift to me, when I visited India).
You can get them from SR communications, contact them at:
