Thought of the day !
The State of Uttar-Pradesh India -- North is home to Uttarkashi and South East, the little town Chitrakoot exile and haven to Avatar Shri Ram.
Many Shakti worshipers are found in this area, so was one of India's greatest jewel, Swami Brahmananda Sarasvati.
Swamiji very good looking highly educated on Vedanta and the science of Yoga. Swamiji was nominated for Shankaracharya of Jyotirmaypitam Himalayas on the way to Badrinath. A seat vacant for three hundred years.
Swamiji through out His life lived on germinated gram seeds with a bit of salt.
He was and exponent on Sri Vidya followed only by accomplished Sanskrit scholar of India. It joins Raja Yoga, Kundalin Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Advaita Vedanta. There are very few scholars that understand these spiritual disciplines. Sri Vidya is probably practised by seven to twelve Masters.
In Sri Vidya the body is seen as the microcosm which unlocks the macrocosm.
His authoritative wisdom on the Upanishads and Shankara's commentary was superb. Swamiji was bestowed a unique ability to tutor the combination of Bhakti and Advaita system.
Swamiji had a Sri Yantra made out of rubies, it's interesting to note how great sages channel their spiritual, mental and physical resources to the ultimate goal.
His life's work inspired me for spiritual adventure.
