E-vaikuntha-srirangam However, the most important observance for all classes of people is of the Vaikuntha Ekaadashi, which falls in the Shuklapaksha of the auspicious month of Margasheersha. In the flight of her imagination was born the immortal Tiruppaavai which depicts the pining of the Gopis for Lord Sri Krishna, observing a vrata to attain Him, getting up very early in the morning, awakening the sleeping Gopis, collecting them together, going to Nanda’s place, waking up the lord and enjoying union with him. Besides it is also a pleasant sight to behold hundreds of men, women and children coming round the temple in Pradakshina, through the main streets, singing bhajan songs to the accompaniment of musical instruments and braving the chill weather of the early morning hours. www.hknet.org.nz /E-vaikuntha-srirangam.htm   (2709 words)

The Sampradaya Sun - Independent Vaisnava News - Editorials - Srila Jiva Goswami's "Sad Sandarbhas" - Bhagavat ... Since he is discussing the qualities of Vaikuntha, it is understood he is not referring only to those devotees who go there from the material world. In other words, those who achieve Vaikuntha have experienced the miseries of the material world, but the nitya siddhas are ignorant of it, and are subject to fall down. Moreover even if the Vaikuntha devotee wants to recall his material experience, he does not have the subtle body in which all the impressions are stored. harekrsna.com /sun/editorials/sandarbhas/bhagavat/sandarbhas63.htm   (11898 words)

Ten Subjects of Srimad-Bhagavatam Thus the true sthanam of the living entity is the realm of Vaikuntha. The true impetus of the living entity should be to go back to Godhead, to the supreme abode of Vaikuntha, and activities performed in that direction form the right path of work. Such purified living entities develop their original spiritual bodies and are resituated in their constitutional position in Vaikuntha, the spiritual abode of the Lord. www.veda.harekrsna.cz /encyclopedia/tensubjects.htm   (2087 words)

Brainwashed by a New Age Guru ‘Vaikuntha seemed a very spiritual place and the sense of calm and contentment I got there was what I was looking for.’ Nina was encouraged to indulge her creative side by painting and writing poetry and attended workshops on the deleterious effects of money. Indeed, it marked the beginning of a destructive relationship with Danesh and Vaikuntha which left Nina nearly bankrupt after losing, she estimates, in the region of Pounds 300,000, her marriage destroyed and her peace of mind shattered. While her traumatic experience is a salutary warning against the modern-day obsession with New Age mysticism, it is also clear the longing on the part of Nina and scores of other professionals for something more ‘fulfilling’ in their lives led to a breathtaking degree of naivety. www.religionnewsblog.com /11996/brainwashed-by-a-new-age-guru   (3031 words)

Week 20 Vaikuntha means: “without anxiety,” and the material world means full of anxiety. A place immediately becomes Vaikuntha whenever the holy topics of the Personality of Godhead are discussed by pure devotees.

Vedanta Society of New York---January 1, 1886 Vaikuntha met the Master at about the same time as we did. Knowing that he could not succeed in his attempt without the Master's grace, he was from time to time plaintively praying to him for it, especially when the Master became physically ill and came to Calcutta and then to Kasipur for treatment. Vaikuntha was present on the spot at the time of this day's occurrence. www.vedanta-newyork.org /articles/jan_1_1886.htm   (1558 words)

Origin of the jiva — Did we fall down? They come with the purpose of fulfilling the desire of the Lord, and their descent to this material world is comparable to that of the Lord....

Forthwith Varaha became complaisant and calm, and appeared with four arms and a white face, bedecked with jewels, and accompained by Sri-Devi (Lakshmi) and Bhu-Devi (Goddess of the Earth).

Last check: ) In the Vaikuṇṭha planets there are husbands and wives, but there is no question of their giving birth to children or having sex life. In the Vaikuṇṭha planets both husbands and wives are extraordinarily beautiful, and they are attracted to one another, but they do not enjoy sex life.

It is therefore quite logical to conclude that, allegorically, the journey of the sages to Vaikuntha stands for the progress of the spiritual aspirant towards Self-realization. The seven ramparts to be crossed represent the five organs of perception, the mind and the intellect; crossing these ramparts means achieving complete control over the five sense-organs and the mind and ultimately transcending the intellect also. www.celextel.org /articles/episodesinsrimadbhagavatam.html   (2143 words)

MokshadA EkAdasi Some also call as Vaikuntha EkAdasii but this is diiferent to the traditionalVaikuntha EkAdasii that is so wonderfully observed in Sri Rangam: This occasion is the peak point of all festivals conducted in the Temple, on this day of days; Sri Ranganatha becomes a virtual king and is known as Sri Rangaraja. Consequently some call Vaikuntha ekadasi the ekadasi known as Mokshada ekadasi that falls on the shukla paksha of Mrigasira Masa (Keshava mase), while others call the Vaikuntha ekadasi the one that comes before Makara sankranti (Jamuary 15th) which most call Putrada ekadasi that occure in the shukla paksha of Pausha mase (Narayan mase.) www.hknet.org.nz /ekadasi-2.htm   (3777 words)

October 11: Meditating on Vaikuntha Lifestyles | --- www.devaswami.com --- Although crowded by their consorts, who have large hips and beautiful smiling faces, they cannot be stimulated to passion by their mirth and beautiful charms. Such transcendentally beautiful ladies, their hands playing with lotuses and their leg bangles tinkling, are sometimes seen sweeping the marble walls, which are bedecked at intervals with golden borders, in order to receive the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Those who give up the topics of Vaikuntha and take to talk of the material world are thrown into the darkest region of ignorance. www.devaswami.com /?q=node/90   (1645 words)

Vaikuntha, "Oh, here is God," with awe and veneration, respect.

The difference between the Vaikuntha's and the mahat-tattva is the Vaikuntha's are imperishable while the mahat-tattva, except for Maha-Vishnu and His plenary expansions, are perishable and everything their goes through a cycle of creation and annihilation or decay and re-construction.

nice quotes The inhabitants of Vaikuntha, however, are so interested in glorifying the Lord that they do not like the disturbance of such a nice breeze while they are chanting the Lord's glories.

Ajata-Ruci-Raganuga-Bhakti He did not mean to advocate that one should engage in vaidhi-bhakti and thereby attain Vaikuntha, and then from there gain eligibility for the raganuga sadhana that begets Vraja bhakti. He meant that one should engage in the limbs of vaidhi-bhakti such as hearing and chanting to give support to one's immature, budding eagerness for raganuga-bhakti, which in the beginning is often more intellectually based than heartfelt. To love God as an equal, as in the case of devotees who are in sakhya rasa in Vraja, would be out of place in Vaikuntha where Visnu is worshiped in awe and reverence. www.vina.cc /stories/PHILOSOPHICAL/2005/5/ajata.ruci.html   (1474 words)
