The Meaning of Sanatana Dharma

The Meaning of Sanatana Dharma

By Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya
(Dr. Frank Morales, Ph.D.)

"The prevalence of Dharma, under a variety of different names, has been demonstrated to exist in almost every pre-Christian civilization and culture in the world. It is thus the common heritage of a large majority of the earth's inhabitants. As expressed in the specific tradition of 'Hinduism'� (properly known as 'Sanatana Dharma'�), the metaphysical concept of Dharma is both a spiritual path, as well as a comprehensive ideology and world-view that directly informs the realms of politics, social theory, economics, culture theory, architecture, medicine, religion, aesthetics, martial warfare, philosophy, ethics, mathematics, and every other aspect of human concern..."

accept Accept ACCEPT

Imbibe the spirit of acceptance. Accept all that happens to you as the Will of God. By accepting all that happens to us in the right spirit, we are settling the accounts of our previous karma, and making sure of good karma for our future.

There are so many things in life that we cannot understand or come to terms with; the loss of loved one, a sudden illness, or an unexpected accident. Instead of wasting our time and effort on the why and wherefore of such events, let us accept them in the spirit of surrender. For we must never ever forget this - that we are only reaping what we have sown. When we accept life's incidents and accidents in this spirit, our sorrows and sufferings are considerably mitigated. On the other hand, if we try to resist them or defy them, our misery only deepens.

Most Powerful Concept

Remember that God does nothing except by law. Spiritual law also governs illness (physical and materialistic). God has arranged two remedies for all illness. One is healing through natural laws applicable by all sciences, and the other brings healing by spiritual law applicable through faith.

Sure cure to get rid of lack of confiedence is, the thought that God is actually with you and helping you. Almighty God will be your companion, will stand by you, help you and see you through.

To practice it simply affirm "God is with me; God is helping me; God is guiding me."

Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid.

If God be for us, who can be against us?

SHIRDI SAI BABA'S DIVINE MESSAGES _____________________________________ _ _ _ _ _ _

BE WHEREVER YOU LIKE,
DO WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE,
REMEMBER THIS WELL THAT ALL WHAT YOU DO IS KNOWN TO ME.

I am the Inner Ruler of all and seated in their hearts.

I envelope all the creatures, the movable and immovable world.

I am the Controller - the wirepuller of the show of this Universe.

I am the mother -
origin of all beings -
the Harmony of three Gunas,
the propeller of all senses,
the Creator,
Preserver and
Destroyer.

I will not allow my devotee to be lost. I will account to God for all those that have been given to me.

Nothing will harm him, who turns his attention towards Me,
but Maya will lash or whip him who forgets Me.

All the insects, ants, the visible, movable and immovable world, is My Body or Form".

Unless there is some relationship or connection, nobody goes anywhere. If any men or creatures come to you, do not discourteously drive them away, but receive them well and treat them, with due respect.

Shri Hari (God) will be certainly pleased, if you give water to the thirsty, bread to the hungry, clothes to the naked, and your verandah to strangers for sitting and resting.

If anybody wants any money from you, and you are not inclined to give, do not give, but do not bark at him, like a dog.

Let anybody speak hundreds of things against you, do not resent by giving any bitter reply.

If you always tolerate such things, you will certainly be happy.

Let the world go topsy-turvy,
you remain where you are.

Standing or staying in your own place,
look on calmly at the show of all things passing before you.

Demolish the wall of difference that separates you from Me; and then the road for our meeting will be clear and open.

The sense of differentiation, as I and thou, is the barrier that keeps away the disciple from his Master, and unless that is destroyed the state of union or atonement is not possible, "Allah Malik" i.e. God is the sole Proprietor, nobody else is our Protector. His method of work is extra-ordinary, invaluable, and inscrutable. His will will be done and He will show us the way, and satisfy our heart's desires.

It is on account of Rinaubandh (former relationship) that we have come together, let us love and serve each other and be happy.

He, who attain the supreme goal of life, is immortal and happy; all others merely exist, i.e., live so long as they breathe".

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING ________________________________ _ _

Develope a tremendous faith in God and that will give you a humble yet soundly realistic faith in yourself.

If you have faith.... nothing shall be impossible unto you.(Matthew 17:20)

Have Faith in yourself; Faith in the Infinite.

FAITH is the “eternal elixir” which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!

FAITH is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!

FAITH is the basis of all “miracles,” and all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science!

FAITH is the only known antidote for failure!

FAITH is the element, the “chemical” which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.

FAITH is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought, created by the finite mind of man, into the spiritual equivalent.

FAITH is the only agency through which the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man.

Fill your mind with affirmations of God's presence, support and help by repeating:
God is with me,
God is helping me,
God is guiding me,
I am in God's hands,
The kingdom of God is within me,
I can do all things through God

Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid.

Nobody can be you as efficiently as you can.

Let nothing disturb you.
Let nothing frighten you.
Everything passes away except God.
God alone is sufficient.

Talk peaceful to be peaceful.

You can receive guidance in problems if prayer is allowed to permeate your subconscious, the seat of the forces which determines whether you take right or wrong actions. Prayer has the power to keep your reactions correct and sound. Prayer driven deeply into your subconscious can remake you. It releases and keeps power flowing freely.

Prayer power is a manifestation of energy. Just as there exist scientific techniques for the release of atomic energy, so are there scientific procedures for the release of spiritual energy through the mechanism of prayer.

Strongly believe that prayer is a sending out of vibrations from one person to another and to God. All of the universe is in vibration. There are vibrations in the molecules of a table. The air is filled with vibrations. The reaction between human beings is also in vibrations. When you send out a prayer for another person, you employ the force inherent in a spiritual universe. You transport from yourself to the other person a sense of love, helpfulness, support - a sympathetic, powerful understanding - and in the process you awaken vibrations in the universe through which God brings to pass the good objectives prayed for.

THE CHOICE IS OURS ____________________ _ _ _ _ _ _

The chief purpose of our life should not be to seek pleasure and possessions, power and authority, success and security, health and wealth, or even knowledge and wisdom. Nor should you seek their opposites, poverty and pain, ignominy and defeat, disease and death. The purpose of our life should be to seek the Will of God and to adore it in all the incidents and accidents of life.

Every experience in life can make us either bitter or better. We have to make the choice.

Every failure can be a stumbling block or a stepping stone. The choice is ours.

10% of our life is what happens to us. You have no control over it. 90% of our life depends on how we respond to what happens to us. The choice is ours.

We always have a choice either to love or to hate, to punish or to pardon, to heal or to hurt. Which way would we choose.

We become conscious of His loving presence, when we commune with Him; within the veil of silence; we are filled with a sense of radiant joy and profound peace.

Miracles do happen in the lives of individuals who lay their total trust in God.
