  # Watch  https://youtu.be/6Nl0n99166g Dear  readers ,  Welcome back to our blog. Today we will discuss sixteenth shloka of Isha Upanishad.   You can recite the shloka with me.  पूषन्नेकर्षे यम सूर्य प्राजापत्य व्यूह रश्मीन् ‌ समूह ।   तेजो यत् ते रूपं कल्याणतमं तत्ते पश्यामि   योऽसावसौ पुरुषः सोऽहमस्मि ॥   “pūṣannekarṣe yama sūrya prājāpatya vyūha raśmīn samūha |  tejo yat te rūpaṁ kalyāṇatamaṁ tatte paśyāmi  yo'sāvasau puruṣaḥ so'hamasmi ||”  Translation in English:  O Sun, solitary traveler, controller of all, Surya, son of Prajapati do remove thy rays and gather up thy dazzle. By your grace I shall see your form which is supremely benign. I am that person within thee.   I think every child is curious about the Sun, so I was, when I was a child. Why does it rise from one direction and set in the opposite direction? Always wanted to see the soothing Sun in the morning and in the evening. Even today one of my favorite times of the day is either dawn or dusk. Somet

  Dear  readers ,  Welcome back to our blog. Today we will discuss fourteenth shloka of Isha Upanishad.   Let's recite the shloka.  सम्भूतिञ्च विनाशञ्च यस्तद्वेदोभयं सह ।   विनाशेन मृत्युं तीर्त्वा सम्भूत्याऽमृतमश्नुते ॥   In English “sambhūtiñca vināśañca yastadvedobhayaṁ saha |  vināśena mṛtyuṁ tīrtvā sambhūtyā'mṛtamaśnute ||”  Translation in English:   The person who knows the unmanifested and destruction both attains immortality through unmanifested by crossing death through destruction.  Let me try to explain the Shloka using the life of Swami Vivekananda. Those days Swamiji was known by his given name Narendranath, a young boy curious to know the truth of this universe.  Narendranath joined a well spreaded movement named Brahma Samaj. He learnt the worship of Brahman (the formless absolute) from this society before receiving Shri Ramakrishna as his Guru. He had a void in his heart though he was practicing meditation of the formless supreme reality. That void was fil

  Dear readers,  Welcome back to our blog. Today we will discuss eleventh shloka of Isha Upanishad.   You can recite the shloka. So, let's start. अन्यदेवाहुः सम्भवादन्यदाहुरसम्भवात् ।   इति शुश्रुम धीराणां ये नस्तद्विचचक्षिरे ॥   In English:   “ anyad evahūḥ sambhavād anyad āhur asambhavāt|   iti śuśruma dhīrāṇām ye nas tad v icacakṣire ||” Translation in English:   The result of worshipping manifested is different from the result received by worshipping unmanifested. We heard that from wise people who taught us so.     Let me try to explain the Shloka using a small incident that happened a few days ago. A fake monk named Abodh Lila Das (Changed the name to hide his identity) worships Lord Krishna’s idol. He used to joke about others who worship in different ways than his style of worship. Even he used to mock other renowned Gurus. One day he crossed all limits and mocked Shri Shri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Swami Vivekananda, the revolutionaries, reformers, ideals of thou
