From Stacey ~
In Friday’s Saṁskṛta class, Ādarśārya explained a stanza whose meaning one of the participants had requested. The stanza is being sung by Vijayā and Ācārya in the Soul, Mind, and Body talks. I warmly encourage you to take a moment and listen to the excerpt recording below.
It was truly moving. Ādarśārya’s heartfelt enthusiasm and pure sattvic delivery resonated deeply through the Zoom platform, touching our hearts and evoking a sense of longing for the Eternal Truth.
We are incredibly fortunate to have in our lives such devoted teachers who embody the essence of these yogic teachings and noble lineage.
करारविन्देन पदारविन्दं मुखारविन्दे विनिवेशयन्तम् ।
वटस्य पत्रस्य पुटे शयानं बालं मुकुन्दं मनसा स्मरामि ॥
karāravindena padāravindaḿ mukhāravinde viniveśayantam
vaṭasya patrasya puṭeśayānaḿ bālaḿ mukundaḿ manasā smarāmi
Excerpt from Ādarśārya’s Saṁskṛta class.
I request you all to keep this image in your mind. Surely, it is a blissful experience. It will calm down the mind. Everything will be dissolved, and the modifications of mind will be completed, and it will be found like very still water. There, some kind of Eternal Truth experience is possible. So, I request you to recollect this stanza again and again. To recollect the meaning and recollect the situation. It will help you get the elevation in this yogic path.
