TB Introduction (cont'd)
vEdhAtham is a ommitted pursuit.. as we are ending this coil of birth and death once and for all.. Only a local guru can teach any one of us. I suggest any guru in your neighborhood who has ben ordained by Swami Dayanada of Arsha Vidya Gurukulam.. Their "teaching methodolgy" is pakka at least for a guy like me who was just quite ignorant to begin with.. perhaps more ignorant than many community members here when I was under SDS's tutelage about 10 years ago (still continuing..!!!)
So I have chosen to be a vEdhAntic teaching assistant.. I won't be able to be anything more with all of the "time-bites" in my life as it is now.. Yet I find this forum to be the best to discuss SDS's teachings.. which is what he learnt from his gurus, who learnt it from their gurus ans so on and so forth.. it ultimately ends in Lord DakshiNAmUrthy..
When SD started teaching vEdhAtham, it was a 4 years course. He went around the Inida advertising in local papers.. From a pool of applicants he selected about 20 or so students.. The only requirements were " A human; family should be able to spare him/her". No prior knowledge of even Indian scripture was required and they had the freedom to drop out..
He started his 4 year course with TB and RamaNA's upadhESa sAram. That tells me the significance and background of TB.. So when anyone asks a Q from TB (or any spiritual topic), instead of answering "bang-bang" I though I would share with the questioner a little bit of the background information which led to the Q and the answer itself. I also feel that only a condensed version mostly in English is apt. and I am going the full length..
SDS explains TB in about 40 hours of explanation or so.. It will be foolish for me to think that I can capture that ocean in this few characters.. Yet may be some of you will be ignited to pursue further.. That comes only if we have the blessing of SDS..
At this point I myself seek the blessing of SDS, and BagavAn to help me complete this task.. hari: om.. SrI guruByo nama: hari: om
