Most thoughts only happen for an instant, and they aren’t very vivid. It might just be a flash of an image, or an indistinct feeling of something happening elsewhere. By the time you say the label, it will probably have dissipated or turned to something else. It takes only a few seconds to note a thought like this.

SUNDARKAND
The Sundarkand is considered the essence of faith and self-confidence, as it reveals the immense power, courage, and unparalleled devotion of Lord Hanuman towards Lord Ram. One of Lord Hanuman’s countless names is ‘Sundar,’ and this chapter is named so because it beautifully describes his miraculous feats.
The Sundarkand sings the glory of Lord Hanuman’s life and imparts the invaluable lessons of faith and self-confidence to humanity. It is Lord Hanuman’s unwavering faith in Lord Ram that empowers him. His unwavering trust in Lord Ram is his inner strength, and his devotion to Lord Ram is his total surrender. These three qualities together establish him as the greatest warrior of the Ramayana and the eternal devotee of Lord Ram.
The Sundarkand carries the message of the victory of righteousness and the destruction of unrighteousness. By following the path of dharma (righteousness), even the impossible becomes possible. Lord Hanuman’s enormous leap over the ocean symbolizes that with faith, any obstacle can be overcome. His courage and actions demonstrate that faith in Lord Ram is the source of his power. Lord Ram follows dharma, and as his follower, Lord Hanuman’s unwavering faith in his Lord and his qualities empowers him to accomplish extraordinary feats.
The Sundarkand teaches us that every problem has a solution; all it requires is self-confidence & patience. Even in the most challenging circumstances, Lord Hanuman teaches us not to lose hope & to maintain peace. When searching for Mother Sita across the entire Lanka and momentarily doubting whether she was still alive, he does not succumb to despair. With inner strength and determination, he sets aside his doubts and continues his search, ultimately succeeding.
After meeting Mata Sita, Lord Hanuman’s perspective shifts. With her blessing, his energy doubles & he single-handedly sets Lanka on fire, destroying the unrighteousness there. This act of Lord Hanuman teaches us that with true faith and devotion to God, we can overcome any difficulty.
When Lord Hanuman stands before Ravana, his immense courage and fearlessness are evident. One who walks the path of truth fears no one. Just as Ravana is terrified of Lord Ram, he is equally afraid of Lord Hanuman. Lord Hanuman not only instills fear in Ravana but also burns Lanka, proving the supreme power of Lord Ram. Completing all tasks successfully, he returns to Lord Ram and surrenders himself at His divine feet forever.
The Sundarkand highlights the divine relationship between Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman. Their humility makes them supreme—Lord Ram as God and Lord Hanuman as His eternal devotee.
The Sundarkand is glorifying the devotion, power, and virtues of Lord Hanuman. Through its sacred recitation, all obstacles are dispelled, and health, happiness, peace, and prosperity are attained. Lord Hanuman teaches humanity this profound lesson: with faith, self-confidence naturally follows, and with self-confidence, success is never out of reach.

Here are some memorable quotes from Dune by Frank Herbert, a masterpiece of science fiction known for its philosophical depth and exploration of power, fear, and human nature:
On Fear:
- "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
On Power and Leadership:
- "The person who can destroy a thing, controls a thing."
- "To rule is to make compromises. Yet compromises do not make a ruler."
- "A ruler needs to control but must also be controlled."
On Survival and Change:
- "The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience."
- "A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct."
- "Survival is the ability to swim in strange water."
On Human Nature:
- "He who controls the spice controls the universe."
- "The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown."
On Destiny and Choice:
- "A man’s flesh is his own; the water belongs to the tribe."
- "The sleeper must awaken."

The tenth chapter of the Ganesha Gita, "Yogopadeshayoga," delves into the three fundamental types of prakriti or natural tendencies: sattva (purity), rajas (activity), and tamas (inertia). Each of these gunas (qualities) shapes our consciousness and influences our actions, behavior, and ultimately, our spiritual journey. Understanding these qualities is essential to discerning the path towards liberation (moksha) and living a balanced life. Let’s explore each aspect and how they resonate with modern-day challenges.
1. The Three Gunas and Their Manifestations
- Sattva (Purity, Light, Harmony): Sattva is marked by qualities such as fearlessness (abhaya), non-violence (ahimsa), purity (shauca), humility, and selflessness. In the modern world, these characteristics translate to living ethically, valuing truth, and striving for mental clarity and compassion. Sattva frees a person from the endless cycles of samsara (worldly existence) by cultivating a sense of inner peace and higher consciousness.
- Rajas (Activity, Passion): Rajas represents ambition, attachment, and desire. It is often associated with dynamism and action but also with pride, short temper, and jealousy. In today’s fast-paced society, many individuals exhibit rajasic traits through career pursuits, competitiveness, and material desires. While rajas can drive success and creativity, it can also foster attachment and restlessness, leading to stress and dissatisfaction.
- Tamas (Inertia, Darkness): Tamas is characterized by ignorance, laziness, and delusion. This quality can lead individuals toward harmful behaviors, apathy, and even destructive tendencies. In the context of modern life, tamasic qualities might manifest as procrastination, denial of truth, self-destructive habits, or negative mindsets that hinder growth and well-being.
2. Symbolism and Deeper Meaning of the Three Types of Devotion
The chapter emphasizes that even bhakti (devotion) aligns with these three gunas. A sattvic form of devotion is pure, selfless, and seeks union with the divine, often manifesting as humility, service to others, and spiritual practices that uplift the mind. In contrast, rajasic devotion may be motivated by desires for personal gain or recognition, while tamasic devotion could involve superstitions, fanaticism, or harmful dogma.
In the Ganesha Gita, Lord Ganesha guides devotees to cultivate sattvic devotion, which promotes peace and spiritual growth. This teaching is relevant in modern spirituality, encouraging individuals to seek inner fulfillment rather than external validation.
3. The Relevance of the Teachings in Overcoming Modern Problems
In the face of modern challenges such as stress, mental health issues, and social pressures, the guidance offered by Yogopadeshayoga can be transformative:
- Mental Wellness: Recognizing rajasic and tamasic qualities within ourselves can help in identifying stress triggers and unhelpful behaviors. Cultivating sattvic qualities like compassion, mindfulness, and non-attachment provides a way to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and build resilience.
- Emotional Intelligence: By observing the gunas within, we develop a deeper understanding of our motivations and emotions. This practice encourages self-awareness, helping individuals reduce impulsive reactions (rajasic) and cultivate patience and understanding (sattvic).
- Purpose and Meaning: Modern life often promotes material success over inner peace. The Ganesha Gita reminds us to balance our pursuits, fostering sattvic goals that focus on personal and spiritual growth, community service, and compassion.
4. Lesser-Known Facts and Symbolism of Ganesha’s Role in the Gita
Lord Ganesha, known as the remover of obstacles and the deity of wisdom, serves as an ideal guide in this discourse. Unlike other forms of the Gita, where a warrior or king receives counsel, the Ganesha Gita is unique in its compassionate and non-violent approach. Ganesha’s gentle wisdom symbolizes the idea that true power lies not in conquering others but in conquering one’s inner turmoil and confusion.
5. Practical Applications in Modern Life
- Mindfulness and Moderation: Recognizing when we are being driven by rajas (excessive ambition) or tamas (laziness, negativity) allows us to strive for a more balanced, sattvic lifestyle. This approach is similar to the modern idea of mindfulness, where awareness of thoughts and actions helps one make healthier choices.
- Ethical Decision-Making: The qualities of sattva align with ethical principles, encouraging actions that are kind, truthful, and considerate. In business or interpersonal relationships, aligning with sattva can foster trust and integrity, contributing to long-term success and harmony.
- Conflict Resolution: By understanding the gunas, individuals can approach conflicts with empathy and wisdom, reducing rajasic responses (like anger and pride) and promoting peaceful resolutions.
6. How the Teachings Influence Modern Life and Help Overcome Current Issues
In today’s world, people grapple with constant external demands, making inner peace and balance elusive. The teachings of Yogopadeshayoga offer timeless insights:
- Overcoming Negative Traits: With the awareness of tamasic qualities like delusion and egoism, we can cultivate a mindset that seeks knowledge and positivity. This is crucial in combating modern issues like misinformation, self-doubt, and low self-esteem.
- Building Resilience: Sattvic qualities like fearlessness and purity give individuals the courage to face challenges without becoming overwhelmed. This approach is invaluable in dealing with the uncertainties of modern life, enabling individuals to adapt gracefully to change.
- Encouraging Community and Compassion: Sattvic devotion emphasizes selflessness and community, encouraging people to connect with others and contribute positively. In times of social isolation and digital divides, such values inspire a sense of unity and mutual support.
7. The Path of Sattva as a Guide to Fulfillment
The core message of Chapter 10 of the Ganesha Gita is the cultivation of sattva as a way to liberation. In practical terms, this means embracing qualities like humility, patience, and kindness while remaining aware of the drawbacks of excessive rajas and tamas. This balanced approach helps individuals lead a life of meaning, peace, and fulfillment.
By applying these teachings in today’s context, individuals can find ways to rise above everyday stress and develop a calm, centered life. The Ganesha Gita reminds us that true success lies not in conquering the external world but in achieving mastery over the inner self, which brings lasting peace and joy.

Autosuggestion is the basis of most hypnotism. An “autosuggestion” or “self-suggestion” is a suggestion which you give to yourself. It can take the form of a verbal affirmation or sometimes a mental image. Self-hypnosis was invented in the early 1840s by the Scottish physician and surgeon, James Braid, the founder of hypnotherapy. Braid didn't use the word “autosuggestion” but he did define hypnotism as a state of focused attention on an “expectant, dominant idea”. Braid therefore thought that all hypnosis was essentially self-hypnosis. He later compared “self-hypnotism”, as he actually called it, to the meditation techniques of ancient Indian yoga though insisting that hypnotism worked by means of simple, common sense, psychological principles.

There is NO REASON to DOUBT Yourself!
If you know what your intentions are, you will always give yourself the Guidance – and even if you momentarily seem to get off track –
which is NOT really possible – then you will always allow yourself to know that there is something you will learn from it in a positive way and know that you haven’t really left the track at all.
You have simply expanded the track wider.”

Self in Advaita
According to Advaita, only the innermost part of me is aware or conscious. Nothing else in me can feel, see, or know anything. This awareness is known as atman in Sanskrit. It is the part of me that is genuinely me, and it corresponds to the soul in Western philosophy. This is where things start to get interesting. According to Advaita, the atman (mine and everyone else's) is the same as the absolute underlying reality of the entire universe, known as Brahman. Brahman is the substance from which all things are made; it is the universe's true nature.
