Significance of Human Birth in Hinduism

 As per Hinduism, a Soul (Athma) takes thousands of Births as various Living Beings and finally gets a Human Body. This is called Transmigration of a Soul in Bhagavad Gita.

I know that i am a Soul who got a Human Body in this birth and you are reading the blogpost of a Human, who took thousands of births as various living beings such as Birds and Animals.

As a Human Being, how am i supposed to know whether it will be my last Birth of the soul that i am, and after this birth i will get Salvation (Moksham) ... or will i have to take many more births after this birth. 

Its said in Bhagavad Gita that its a Human Body which is the perfect stage in the Transmigration of  a Soul after which, a Soul gets Salvation.

As a Human Being who is stuck in the Samsara Maya, who am i supposed to know, whether i will get Salvation after this birth of mine.

For this Adi Shankaracharya says in his Bhaja Govindam verses, the first verse as below:

bhaja govindaṁ bhaja govindaṁ govindaṁ bhaja mūḍha-mate |
samprāpte sannihite kāle nahi nahi rakṣati ḍukr̥ṅkaraṇe ||

Meaning:

Worship Govinda, worship Govinda, Worship Govinda, oh deluded mind!
At the time of your death, Rules of grammar will not save you.

Adi Shankaracharya says in this shloka, that a Human Being should worship Krishna to get saved, that is, to get salvation, in the Transmigration of the Soul, that he/she is. 

But, we cannot say for certain, that if a Human Being worships Krishna all his life, will he get salvation it that birth ? ... He may have to take many more births in the Journey of the Soul that he/she is. This is certain, for getting salvation is very difficult thing to achieve. Certainly, if that person who worships Krishna all his life, may get a Good Birth in his/her next life, like getting born in a noble family.

But, the only way for a Human Being to get salvation is to worship Krishna. There is no other way out. We cannot neglect Krishna Worship, thinking that its uncertain to get salvation in this Human Birth.

Krishna inside every living being as Paramatma


Its said in Bhagavad Gita, that a Krishna Conscious Person sees Krishna as Paramatma inside every Living Being.

So, whenever you meet a person, just think about the Bhagyam that soul has, to get a Human Birth in this life after many thousands of Births in the bodies of various living beings. Meet him/her with courtesy. Who knows, if that person will get salvation before you get. Some sweet words to him/her will certainly expedite the Journey of the Soul that you are, to get salvation. Also, be kind to all living beings, as Krishna is residing inside them.

Hare Krishna.

Prarambhakam



Srimahavishnu
 

First Vishnu arrives at the pond, which is the Palasamudram, while Sridevi is watching him.

He creates Seshanath on the pond. He sits on the Asana of Seshanath. Then he creates Brahma from his navel. Then he creates Shiva.

Then Garuda and Hanuman come to the spot in Palasamudram where Vishnu is seated on his Seshanath Asana, and address him as "Om Namo Venkateshaya".

Then Durga comes to the spot and address Vishnu as "Venkata Ramana Govinda".

Then Lakshmi comes and sits near Vishnu on Seshanath Asana.

Then Narada comes to the spot and utters "Narayana Narayana Vasthava Narayana".

This is the spot which is the Vaikuntam of Srimahavishnu.

This Vishnu is Srihari and also called as Dammaiguda Venkateshwara.

The Prime Minister is the Head of the Country

In the recent days, we have seen Prime Minister Narendra Modi being abused in the public domain.

First, it was Andhra Pradesh CM N. Chandrababu Naidu for AP not getting the Special Category Status after it was bifurcated to create a new state of Telangana.

Second, after the aftermath of Balakot Strike by India, the Congress abusing PM Modi for telling the correct figure of the causalities of Terrorists.

I think ... the freedom of speech that the constitution ordains, has been misused by these people, as no one is expected to abuse a Prime Minister in person. His policies may be weighed and commented upon, but to target a person personally is not Freedom of Speech.

What is that Mr. Chandrababu Naidu want, if the PM thinks that the special category status for Andhra Pradesh is not feasible then we should take up democratic ways of taking the matter to his notice, but not repeatedly abuse the Prime Minister who is the Head of the Country. Mr. Chandrababu dreams of becoming a great leader of the country by the wonderful work he did in the field of Information Technology, but at last as his legacy, he would not want to be known for his childish words against the PM.

What is that the congress expect, PM Modi personally visit the Balakot bombing site and count the number of causalities of terrorists there and tell the exact number to the Congress. When the Airforce chief himself tells they dont know the exact figure, how can the PM say the figure.

Look at the work burden of PM Modi, he has to visit foreign countries,  he has to attend election rallies in the country, and how can he concentrate the most important job he got of Heading the Indian Government. He has the right to sit in New Delhi  in his office, and leave the foreign trips and election rallies to other BJP MPs. A Prime Minister has the right to delegate the authority, and wholly concentrate on governing the country for the full term of 5 years.

I would say that the BJP is so much leaning on PM Modi for their electoral fate in the upcoming elections, that neither the BJP nor the opposition is showing any respect to the post of the Prime Minister of India. The chair of the Prime Minister of India was occupied by the greats like Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. Showing a little bit of respect to the people who occupy that seat is what is needed.

A little bit of this thought, that respecting someone who is at the helm of the affairs of the country by the concerned in the public life, would be welcoming.

Balakot attack a model for India

The pulwama attack in which 40 CRPF jawans were killed by the Terrorists, has come at a time when India had borne the brunt of Terrorism, to such an extent that the patience of the country was tested.

India had the option of remaining silent, but it was too much for the country's political establishment and armed forces to exercise restraint against the Pakistan supported Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist organisation, which had claimed responsibility for the Pulwama Attack.

Indian Political establishment had to give the due to armed forces, and PM Narendra Modi gave the freedom to the armed forces, to act as they want to, and the country is behind them.

The Indian Armed Forces acted wisely, targeting only the Terrorist Camp at Balakot and not targeting the Pakistani Establishments and civilians. This is a clear message to the world that India is not against any country, but it does not want the Terrorists to create havoc in Indian Territory.

Acting wisely, the armed forces have displayed the maturity of a professional force, which our political establishment is proud of.

In the aftermath of Balakot attack, an Indian Airforce Plane was down in POK, and the pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman got caught by the Pakistanis. Owing to the international pressure, PM Imran Khan had to release him, and this is termed by PM Imran Khan as a peace gesture. No matter what he says, its because of the international pressure that Abhinandan was released by Pakistan.

In this saga, the lesson that India should learn, is that targeting the Terrorist Camps has become legal today, and Indian Armed Forces should do this as and when they identify any Terrorist Camp mushrooming in our neighboring country.

Hindhus are the followers of Hindhu Dharma

Shri Vinayaka

Vakrathunda Mahakaya Kotisurya Samaprabha I
Nirvighnam Kurumedheva Sarvakaryeshu Sarvadha II

A Hindhu is essentially a religious person. He owes his Birth, Survival, Death and Afterlife to his ancestors, who are essentially the followers of Hindhu Dieties. Since, the ancestors of Hindhus are the worshippers of the Trinity, i.e, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, it is construed that they are the followers of Hindhu Dharma.

The Hindhu Dharma is a Vast ocean in terms of the coverage and knowledge of this cosmos. Hindhu Dharma has many Rituals in its fold. And Hindhus when they are born, do Hindhu Rituals which sanctify them as Hindhus. They do Hindhu Rituals when they are living and afterdeath ... and afterlife also, there are prescribed Hindhu Rituals which are required to be Followed and Observed.
