Dear members, on request of some who not understood this subject well, restarting from the beginning to make them follow well.

1. INTRODUCTION :
Vedanta is the culmination of the Vedas. It is entering into the study of Brahman. It is the science which raises man above the plane of worldliness. It is the rational method of meditating on the Supreme Absolute, the Eternal, the Infinite. Vedanta is the culmination of human experience and is the end of the faculty of thinking. It is the greatest and the highest knowledge. This wisdom was revealed to the ancient sages. The Rishis and sages of yore have made experiments and researches in meditation and given to the world their spiritual experiences. These are all authoritative. You must not spend much time in making the preliminary experiments once more. Your whole life-time is not sufficient for making these experiments and researches. The experiences of sages are like ready-made compressed tablets. You will have to simply follow their instructions implicitly with perfect, unswerving faith and devotion. Then alone can you make any progress in the spiritual path and attain the goal of life. In order to practise Sadhana for the attainment of absolute freedom, you should know in the beginning itself its technique and method. You should know the nature of bondage, the cause of bondage and the way of getting rid of bondage. You have to make a searching study of life and know its mysteries. Karma You are born on this earth-plane on account of your Karmas (actions)
2. KARMAM :
You are born on this earth-plane on account of your Karmas (actions) done in previous births. This body and this condition of mind are both the results of effects of past Karmas.
A Vasana or desire arises. Then you exert to possess the object. This is Karma. Thought itself is the real Karma. Physical action is only its manifestation. Then you enjoy the object. This is Bhoga. This Bhoga strengthens and fattens the Vasana. The Chakra or wheel of Vasana, Karma, Bhoga, is ever revolving. Give up Bhoga. Practise renunciation, discrimination and dispassion. Destroy the Vasanas by eradicating ignorance (Ajnana) through Brahma-Jnana, the Knowledge of the Imperishable. Then alone the wheel which binds a man to this Samsara will stop revolving. Then alone you become an Atmavan or Knower of the Self.
3. WHO IS A KILLER OF ATMAN ( ATMA ) :
Forgetting the Self by indulging in sensual pleasures, is killing of Atman. Even after somehow getting this rare human birth, with an innate tendency for Nivritti, he who does not strive for the liberation of his soul, is a killer of Atman. He is not an Atmavan but an Atmaha.

7. THE FUNNIEST PART OF THIS STORY THAT WHEN AP NAGARAJAN PRODUCED SAMPURNA RAMAYANAM WITH THEN SUPER STARS TAMIL PEOPLE MADE A HEAVY RUSH TO THEATRES? WHY THIS ATTITUDE? CINEMA IS DIVINE NOT RAMAYANAM IS IT SO?
8. PARENTS AND CHILDREN ARE DECISION MAKERS AND FREEDOM CHOOSE THE SPIRITUAL SUBJECTS IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS;
9. IF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED THIS, IT IS A FACT THAT THE PEOPLE OF BHARATHAM REQUESTED PM MODIJI THROUGH MAN KI BAAT AND OTHER CHANNELS BY WAY PEOPLE CONTACTS WITH PM AND TEAM INDIA.
10. TAMIL POLITICS HAS NO ROLE HERE, WHERE THE PEOPLE IS IN THE CENTRE-POINT, DIRECT WITH PM MODI JI LEAD TEAM INDIA, SO KEEP AWAY IT IS BHARATHAM.

========================================================================
FINAL WORDS : WHAT THE GREAT ACHARYA SAID :
