Kuta Yuddha in Hinduism – Treacherous And Unethical Warfare

In ancient times, wars were expected to be waged in accordance with the principles of dharma followed in Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism). When these were violated, wantonly or otherwise, the warfare was termed as Kuta Yudha, i.e treacherous or unfair. The world ‘kuta’ implies fraud, deception, trick, scheme, or untruth. There are number of instances of kutayuddha in the epics. In the Mahabharata, the treacherous killing of young Abhimanyu, son of Arjuna, by important members of the Kaurava army is a case in point. Abhimanyu daringly broke through the army formation called Chakravyuha, but he lacked the knowledge to get out of the trap. Thus he was encircled by his enemies who slew him, taking advantage of his helplessness. Dronacharya, the guru of Pandavas and Kauravas, was killed after he was given false information that his son Ashwathama had died. On the advice of Lord Krishna, Yudhisthira said that Ashwathama was killed, though he added in a whisper, the elephant. Drona on hea

Kampana – Trembling Of Body In Yoga

Kampana is the vibrations activated through pranayama and it is experienced by a student of yoga in two different ways. Kampana or angamejayatva is the trembling of the body and it is one among the five situations which arise in the wake of the nine obstacles in the path of Yoga. It is mentioned in Yogasutra (I.31). The trembling of the body parts, caused by lack of stability, is a situation which puts an obstacle in the practice of posture for sitting in meditation.

What Is Ego Or Ahamkara? – Ramana Maharshi Answers

Ramana Maharshi gives a simple answer to the perplexing question of what is ego or ahamkara. Life becomes smooth and the path of bliss opens up when we unravel the puzzle of ego. The jiva, or individual being, expressing itself as “I” is called the ego, or ahamkara. Jiva is that being which identifies its existence with that of life in the physical body. The pure consciousness has no ego-sense about it. Neither can the physical body, which is, by itself, inert have this ego-sense.

This jiva is the root cause of all that is futile and undesirable in life. If, therefore, it is destroyed by any possible means, That which ever is alone remains resplendent or that which really exists will be seen as it is. Thi

Anugita Teachings

A collection of teachings from Anugita. One should learn to control one's mind and love Paramathma (the Supreme-Soul) with devotion. Utterance of Aum (Pranava) is the easy means of self-realization. The spiritual aspirant should be absorbed in the contemplation of God with single minded devotion and without outer consciousness. If he meditates with the feeling of “Aham Brahmasmi' (I am Brahman), all his sins disappear and he would be emancipated. The individual soul will be merged with the Supreme Soul. As life is transitory, one should adore only the truth. A yogi who is only meditating on the soul will have no rebirth. Parabrahman is the goal of Pranava (aum). It leads to liberation and supreme peace. We must remove the dirt of lust and anger and give up all attachments. The darkness of ignorance should be dispelled with the light of self-knowledge. Anugita is a conversation between Sri Krishna and Arjuna and is found in the Ashwamedha Yaga Parva
