Swami Dharmananda
Ahamadgarh, 08.05.2006
This is the second time that H.H. Acharya Mahaprajna has come to this town during the Ahimsa Yatra in Punjab. H.H. was greeted by the heads of Terapanth Mahila Mandal, Kanya Mandal and Terapanthi Sabha. The head of Gandhi School also presented his facilitations.
Anuvrat Anushasta Acharya Mahaprajna said in his sermon that in Indian Culture there is tripod of SATYA (truth), SHIVA (eternal) and SUNDAR (beautiful). Another tripod is ANANDA (bliss), CHIT (consciousness) and SAT (truth). To lead a holistic life, one must have the combination of the three, bliss, knowledge and energy.
“Energy is on the first range. It is the root of all other things. Energy is divided into physical energy and mental energy. It is as important to nourish the mind as the nourishment of the body. Positive thinking energizes the mind. To develop energy, one must know of it. We can feel the energy only when the mind is concentrated. Concentration itself is great energy. The success of Sadhana (the spiritual practice) is also dependent on concentration. Therefore, it is important that one should try to have deep concentration. H.H. stayed at the residence of Sri Baldev Jain and Ashok Jain, where many people had vested to meet Acharyashree.
