YOL (HIMACHAL PRADESH), May 16: On the 35th day of the ongoing 78-day Yajna Anushthan of all four Vedas at the Vedic Mandir, Yol, Himachal Pradesh, Swami Ram Swarup delivered a detailed discourse on Rigveda Mantra 10/27/9, drawing the attention of devotees and seekers towards the spiritual essence of Vedic knowledge and yoga.
Explaining the mantra, Swami Ji said that Almighty God Himself declares in the Vedas that He resides in the hearts of human beings. Referring to the phrase "Jananam Urvajre Antah," he explained that although the Supreme Being pervades every particle of the universe, His divine presence is especially realized within the human heart.
Elaborating further on the phrase "Ayuktam Yunajat," he stated that the restless and unstable mind, which often fails to remain focused during yoga practice, should be disciplined and engaged in yoga, worship and righteous deeds as prescribed in the Vedas.
Citing Yoga Darshan Sutras 1/14 and 1/15, Swami Ji explained that the five mental modifications or tendencies of the mind are naturally attracted towards worldly and materialistic objects created by nature. However, through continuous yoga practice and detachment (Vairagya) as described in the Vedas and Yoga Shastra, a person can restrain these tendencies and attain divine realization, peace and true happiness.
He further emphasized that the practice of yoga aimed at attaining God should continue throughout one's life with dedication, discipline and reverence. Such noble Vedic deeds and spiritual practices leave lasting impressions on the mind and continuously provide inner joy to the seeker.
Referring to verses 6/38-42 of the Bhagavad Gita, Swami Ji said that the fruits of Vedic virtuous deeds and yoga practices never go in vain and continue across lifetimes. He added that those who sincerely perform righteous Vedic actions and pursue yoga are blessed with birth in spiritually elevated families and ultimately attain God-realization. Concluding his discourse, Swami Ji urged people to re-adopt the Vedic path in their lives, abandon ignorance and suffering, and strive towards attaining the supreme state of Moksha (liberation). |
