jnana Yoga and Bhakti Yoga have always fought with each other ! Our aim is not to support any, but give an integral solution to the perpetual fight betwixt Head and Heart !

A well known quote is that the Heart has its own reasons which the Head need not know of. All Religions averr that Love is greater than Intelligence.

If the HIghest Wisdom is Love, we have to move from an intellect based living to a heart centred living, thus modifying the Equation Prajnanasya Nama dheyani Bhavantu Sarvam to Premasya Nama dheyani Bhavantu Sarvam. Prajnane Pratishtitam to Preme Pratishtitam and PrAjnanam Brahma to Premam Brahma !

Not only is there a fight for supremacy between VIrtue and VIce but other fights also. Beween Conscience and Expedience. Between Head and the Heart.

Thou as the Primordial Sound

O Thou who art extolled

guruvayur,guruvayur temple, neeranjali nava graha temple

This Temple was founded by H H Swami Chinmayananda, a Titan in Vedanta and Yoga and who expounded Advaita Vedanta, the philosophical system of Monism. He founded centers worldwide for the propagation of the Saastras of the Eternal Law. He was a great scholar in Sanskrit and one of the best orators in English and millions attended his lectures. He used to conduct Geetha Jnana Yajnas and he was known as a Geetha expert by millions !

There was a Yogi who said Karma is greater than God !

To illustrate this principle, there is the story of Elarata Saturn afflicting Lord Vishnu.

Once Lord Vishnu was afflicted by the dreaded 7.5 Saturnine cycle. By His Yogic powers He reduced the 7.5 years to 7.5 Nadis or Nazhikas ( 3 hours ). He assumed the shape of a frog and sat in a hole. Unfortunately it started to rain. The owner of the house came with a stick and began to prod the frog, as the frog in the hole was blocking water flowing out. So, for 7.5 Nadis or 3 hours, Lord Vishnu had to bear the brunt of the prodding stick !

Even the gods are not above Elarata Saturn !

So, when suffering afflicts us, we have to understand that it is Karma exhausting itself. Combustion is Passion ( Passion of the Redeemer ), Combustion is Crucifixon, wherein the rebounding Karma catches the aspirant unawares !
