Swami Prakashanand Saraswati & the path to God Realization

In the Hindu tradition the eternal, universal teachings of the Vedas, Upnishads, Bhagvad Gita and Bhagwatam are a profound source of Divine inspiration that illumines the path to the realization of Divine love. These Divine texts reveal the knowledge of God, soul, cosmic energy (maya), and the purpose of human life. They teach that God is within every soul, and is also omnipresent. The Shvetashvatar Upnishad says that God and the soul are eternal friends. The Gita contains the essence of the Upnishads and the theme of all the Divine philosophies and teaches us to surrender to God. The Bhagwatam reveals the essence of all Divine Blissfulness and specifically reveals the Bliss of Divine love of Krishn.

A dispensary may stock a variety of medications to treat different ailments but a qualified doctor is needed to recommend and prescribe a particular medicine according to the disease and the physical condition of the patient. Similarly, there are many styles of devotion, for various kinds of people, described in the Vedic scriptures.

A genuine Spiritual Master such as Swami Prakashanand Saraswati explains the procedure of devotion that is practical for individuals to follow according to the society and age in which they live. Sanskrit scriptures and respected Spiritual Teachers (original Jagadgurus) have explained that the most effective and profound way to experience Divine love in the present age is by revitalizing one’s relationship with God through loving remembrance.

According to Hindu teachings, God’s name, Divine form, Divinely Gracious actions (leelas), Divine virtues (supreme kindness, compassion, love etc.), Divine abode, and Divine Saints are all one. Remembrance of any of these with a feeling of love and affinity is the most effective way to purify the heart, rejuvenate awareness of the eternal relationship between the soul and the Divine Beloved, and experience peace and spiritual happiness in life. This is the essence of Swami Prakashanand Saraswati's speeches on the path to God Realization.
