Namaskar , I am looking for kids book to read stories to my kids, so they can learn about Sanskrit, our culture. May be some story books from Mahabharata with pictures.
@@NityanandaMisra THE FOUR “GOALS OF LIFE”: Humans have FOUR objectives, aims, desires, purposes, or goals in life (“puruṣārtha”, in Sanskrit [lit.: “objects of human pursuit”]): 1. PLEASURE (“kāma”, in Sanskrit) includes all forms of sensual stimulation that provides a positive feeling in the mind of any particular individual. Thus pleasure-seeking is a legitimate aim, provided that it causes no undue harm to another living creature or to the biosphere. 2. PROSPERITY (“artha”, in Sanskrit) is seeking wealth in the form of real property or money, again, providing it has no detrimental effect on oneself or others (in other words, a legitimate means of accumulating wealth). Here, “legitimate” is used in the etymological sense of “lawful”. 3. RELIGIOSITY (“dharma”, in Sanskrit) signifies behaviours that are considered to be in accord with established universal principles, including duties, laws, morals, virtues, and righteous living. Read Chapter 12 onwards to become acquainted with the principles of religiosity/dharma. 4. LIBERATION (“mokṣa”, in Sanskrit) is freedom from suffering, as previously defined, and is considered to be the most noble of the four goals. This was traditionally interpreted as emancipation from the cycle of birth and death (“saṃsāra”, in Sanskrit) or soteriology (“going to Heaven”). As one goes through childhood, one naturally seeks sensory pleasures. As one enters adulthood, one starts to seek methods of acquiring material wealth, whether that be serving an employer, embarking on a mercantile enterprise, or seeking marriage to a well-to-do suitor. If and when one becomes disillusioned by pleasure and/or wealth, one makes enquiries into self-improvement and religious systems. When none of the former objectives provides the definitive peace and happiness that we humans are ultimately seeking, one FINALLY aspires for liberation. Of course, there is no reason why ALL four objectives cannot be accomplished simultaneously. A truly-enlightened sage is fully comfortable in seeking pleasure (without going to undue lengths to achieve pleasure, and without being attached to the pleasures themselves), gaining sufficient wealth to meet his material requisites and the needs of his family, engaging in religious festivals and other dharmic activities (even if he has transcended all dogmas and rituals - most persons enjoy partaking in major religious festivities) and, of course, being liberated from the cycle of birth and death (or to be more accurate, from the sense of “doership”, which is, as explained, the origin of all psychological sorrow).

🐟 05. PRAKṚTI (THE PHENOMENAL UNIVERSE): THE PHENOMENAL UNIVERSE: As demonstrated in the previous chapter, there is insufficient evidence for the existence of a separate, objective universe, external to the perception of a subjective observer. The fact that the phenomenal universe (“prakṛti”, in Sanskrit) of mind and matter (or name and form [“nāmarūpa”, in Sanskrit/Pāli]) exists (that is to say, is perceived) solely within the personal consciousness of any individual human or animal, is superlatively logical. If this material world actually existed as a SEPARATE reality, then obviously, it would have limits, because the nature of matter is that it has a measurable, three-dimensional finitude. Despite what some may claim, no perceived object can be infinite or eternal. However, as it will be shown in the following chapter, the objective universe of mind and matter is ultimately contained within a more fundamental form of Consciousness, which is the Eternal Ground of All Being or Existence-Awareness-Peace (“sacchidānanda”, in Sanskrit). This notion is called “Idealism” in Western academic philosophy. However, according to the school of Indian thinking promulgated in this treatise, known as “Advaita Vedānta”, this idea (no pun intended) is incomplete, since no object or subject is without “sacchidānanda”. 🐟 06. PURUṢA (CONSCIOUSNESS/AWARENESS): CONSCIOUSNESS DEFINED: Consciousness means “that which knows”, or “the state of being aware”, from the Latin prefix “con” (with), the stem “scire” (to know) and the suffix “osus” (characterized by). To put it succinctly, consciousness is the SUBJECTIVE component in any subject-object relationship. There is both a localized knowing (within the cognitive faculty of vertebrates) and a Universal Awareness, as explicated in the following paragraphs. Consciousness is essentially impersonal, yet it can be expressed via a personal agent, such as many species of animal life, including we humans.
