MUNDAKA UPANISHAD - 35. Swami Advayananda.

Chinmaya Mission 

In a heartwarming display of altruism, a group of enthusiastic young volunteers from Chinmaya Mission Portland took it upon themselves to cook and distribute food to those in need at the Laurelwood Homeless Shelter. 

The team's culinary efforts resulted in a sumptuous feast, consisting of vegetable pasta, hearty vegetable soup, and simple yet comforting peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. 

Not only did these young philanthropists provide nourishment, but they also extended their compassion through the written word. 

They penned 15 heartfelt cards as part of the "Letters against Isolation" initiative, destined to brighten the lives of recipients at Meals On Wheels. 

These young volunteers exemplified the power of empathy and community service, leaving an indelible mark of kindness.

6 Chapters (64 Mantras)

4. PENETRATING BRAHMAN

(Mantras - 33-43, 11 no.)

dviteeya mundake dviteeyah khandah –

Here begins the second Section of the second Canto. 

34 - Mantram 4.2: “On Your Marks” – Eyeing the Target.

Post - 35.

================================================================

35 Mantram - 4.3: “Get Set” – Preparing to Shoot

1 

dhanur griheetvaa upanishadam   =  Having taken up the bow furnished by the Upanishads,

mahaa astram,  =  the “Great Weapon” of knowledge, 

2 

sharam hi upaasaanishitam   =  with the arrow sharpened by constant meditation

sandhayeeta;  =  fixed firmly upon it;

3 

aayamya tad bhaava  =  and drawing it having That object alone

gatena chetasaa,  =   fixed wholly in the mind;

4 

lakshyam tad eva aksharam,  =  having That Immortal alone as the target,

somya viddhi.  =  O dear young man, penetrate (shoot) That!

================================================================

This mantram gives the instructions on focusing ourselves in meditation and preparing to 

shoot at the target. The simile of the bow and arrow is used to heighten the effect.

1 

Dhanuh Griheetva – the bow that is taken up in the hand is the great weapon of 

knowledge in the Upanishads. The identity of the “bow” is yet a secret to be unfolded in the 

next mantram.

2 

Sharam – the arrow; again, what the arrow represents is to be found in the next 

verse. We only know that it has to be well-sharpened, sharp enough to pierce the target and 

become one with it. We are also told that meditation will do this sharpening. The arrow is to 

be well mounted on the bow.

3 

Aayamya – drawing the string, that is, withdrawing the inner mental instrument 

from the senses and its objects, and concentrating it just on the target. The mind is brought 

to a single-minded focus, on the thought of Brahman alone. It is totally fixed on Brahman.

4 

Lakshyam Tadeva Aksharam – the Lakshya or target here is intended to remain a

secret at this point, but the Bhashya leaks it out. Focussed fully on that target, “Shoot!” says 

the Guru to his dear disciple. Strike the target with certainty.

The concern of the Guru for the success of the disciple is seen in the endearing term 

used to address him. One can pick up the spirit of the spiritual quest very clearly from this 

mantram. The whole attention is required. It is as though it were a matter of life and death.

###OPINION : PEOPLE OF BHARATHAM POSITIVE :

===============================================================

1. SANATANA DHARMA, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS HINDUISM IS ETERNAL, WHOLE UNIVERSE IS EXISTING IN THIS TRUTH

2.  EVER  EXISTING

3.  THERE IS NO SPACE FOR ADHARMA

4. ALL DEMONIC ELEMENTS DEMOLISHED BY DHARMA

6. PURE CONSCIOUSNESS IS DIVINE AND SUPREME, ALL OTHERS MEANINGLESS

7. NATURE IS ABOVE ALL, EVER EXISTING, ALL OTHERS MEANINGLESS.

8. THE CONTENT OF SO CALLED HOLY BOOK IS NO HOLY AT ALL, AS IT PREACHES HATRED AND DESTRUCTION OF OTHER MANKIND, RELIGIOUS CONVERSIONS AND LIES OF UNCIVILIZED MATERIALS

9. CHRISTIANITY IS EQUALLY DEMONSTRATED CRUELTY, THE SO CALLED HOLY BOOK FULL OF LIES

10. BOTH  ARE NOT RELIGIONS BUT SAMPRADAYA (ILLITERATE MAN MADE, NOT BASED ON DHARMA

11. THE CULTURE OF BHARATHAM BASED ON UPANISHADS AND FULL OF  REALISATION TEXTS ARE PRODUCED BY GREAT RISHIS OF BHARATHAM

12. IN THIS MATERIALISTIC DESTRUCTIVE MINDED UNIVERSE, NO RELIGIONS COMPARABLE OR ABOVE SANATANA DHARMA OF BHARATHAM.

================================================================

2. Congress & Communists destroyed this holy Nation Sanatana Dharama, The imported stupid secularism degenerated this Nation Ancient Culture and Civilisation

3. Till 2014 nation was ruled by corrupt idiots,and all regions too, Dynasty rule dominated than Nation intrests.

4. Brushing away main stream population sides and muslims and christians become political parties vote banks.

5. Communists openly abused  our ancient culture, upanishads,Ramayana, Mahabharatham, Bhagavtham and daites.

6. The communists  next donkey group, latest stunt of America visit and the comedy programme namely kerala sabha!? these buggers detroyed Kerala in all and joining with radical islam soon they will be eliminated, people of Kerala get up from donkey thoughts, otherwise kerala shrink to extinct in all way

7. Communists are danger to our civilisation, their lunatic theories disappered through out the world, Time has come crush them, and eliminate them from our nation, they are danger to this holy nation.

================================================================
