Mahabharatha Jnana Yagna
(Vidhura Needhi - Udhyoga Parvam)
By Br. Srinivas Chaithanya
(Acharya, Chinmaya Mission Madurai)
from : 27.06.09 to 03.07.2009
Place: DharmaShetram, Tirunagar
Seven days discourse on 'Vidhura Needhi' by Br. Srinivas Chaithanyaji, was exhaustive and explicit.
Vidhura tries his best to make Dratharashtra to understand his folly. The great dharmashastras rendered by Vithura are not only for that mortal blind, but for all of us who are internally blind, not knowing the purpose of one's existence on this earth. Each sloka carries a luminous message ! To quote a few:
Since Drtharashtra's mind was not quitened, Vithura requested Sanath Sujathiar to enlighten him! The great Sage was pleased and explain in length.

- Better to remain silent than to speak.. If circumstances demands one to speak, then truth alone to be spoken. Truth should be delivered, with compassion in the heart. Thus one strengthens one's mind and actions!
- Keeping all the senses well under his control, uthamapurusha wishes good for all.. Be delighted, in seeing such good souls.
- One can develop or nurture such able qualities like patience, humility, silence, uprightness and truthfulness by Satsanga.
- Be fearless ! We have to eradicate fear and not to try escape from fear... If the intellect (buddhi) is sharp, coupled with bhakthi, there will be no trace of fear.
- In creation, man alone is given the unique opportunity to realise his mistake and to correct. So, think...analyze and then act!
- Spiritual growth is a gradual progress. A spiritual seeker should have faith in himself and faith in the chosen path.
- It is ignorance of the 'self' that breeds anger, jealousy, greed, etc. So destroy them before they kill you!
- A good student should vigilant to avoid the following..
Since Drtharashtra's mind was not quitened, Vithura requested Sanath Sujathiar to enlighten him! The great Sage was pleased and explain in length.
- only with the help of Acharya, one canknow & imbibe the Supreme Knowledge..
- Worshiping and reveling in the thought of Guru and his teachings is the surest way to learn them and lead a saintly life..
- with good conduct and gratuitude, one has to surrender totally at the lotus feet of the Guru...
