Review for Shree Maharishi Bhrigu Ashram, Trabuco Canyon, CA, USA
Hi All,
I have recently started listening to the Srimad Bhagvad Pravachans which GuruJi Sh. Sanjay Ji gives at the Bhrigu Meditation Center. The pravachans are very beautiful and elevating!
The last pravachan started with Bhagvad Mahatmayam where it starts with Uddhav Ji telling how he became the priya sakha of Sri Krishna through Bhagvad. There was description of Sri Krishna as that Moon which never wanes and waxes - Shodash Kala - so always full! Then there was a description of Brahma, VIshnu and Rudra being given the task of creation, preservation and dissolution and how they received Bhagvad from God to be always immersed in him while taking care of their tasks. GuruJi mentioned that human birth is useless if one doesn't listen to Bhagvad which is the only way to perceive Krishna as He is, if it is not 28th Dwapara!
The importance of listening to Bhagvad came out very strongly and I feel highly motivated to listen to this complete scripture till the very end. Listening to it brings immense peace and one feels connected with the overall existence. GuruJi mentioned about Brahma Ji who weighed everything in balance against Srimad Bhagvad and everything came out to be lighter. Srimad Bhagvad in Kaliyuga is the only saadhan to get moksha!
The episode about Bhakti(Devotion), Gyana(WIsdom) and Vairagya(Detachment) was also amazing! Bhakti was born in Dravid Pradesh, grew up in Karnataka and got some strength in Maharashtra and lost strength in Gujrat. Both Gyaan and Vairagyam, who are the sons of Bhakti also lost strength and became old and dilapidated. When Bhakti came back to Vridavana where Sri Krishna did all his leelas, she again gained strength and became young and beautiful again. However, Gyaan and Vairagya still remained old. Then the conversation between Narada Muni and Bhakti where Narada Muni tells Bhakti about the effects of Kaliyuga and why this was happening providing peace to Bhakti and then Bhakti asking Narada Muni as to why they let the Kaliyuga come and then Narada Muni telling that Kaliyuga is the only Yuga where people can get Moksha only by hearing the mahima of the lord and that is why many jeevas get a chance to come out of this cycle of births and deaths was really amazing.
It also brought forth the importance of the great sages and saints. Narada Muni is there in almost every Vedic Scripture and whatever he does is for the benefit of all! GuruJi also always emphasizes the importance of good company/satsanga.
Also that Mukti(Freedom) is the servant of Bhakti and Gyana and Vairagya are the offspring of Bhakti was also interesting. If one has Bhakti then the other three will come but without love and devotion for the lord nothing happens!!
I want to thank GuruJi for these beautiful pravachans which are the real pearls for they guide us on how to lead our lives and tell us the most important thing that we should do as a manushya in Kaliyuga!
Regards,
Om Ji
