Agyanda Bharati was a professor at Syracuse University. At least during the period, I was doing my Ph.D. Also, attended several lectures on Upanishads.
गुरुजी सुन्दर जय हो।ॐ हजुरको कविता असाध्यै मिठो थियोे ।
Excellent
Wonderful talk 🙏
Dr. Timalsina. you talked about ultimate objective of recognizing that yourself are God..and your existence is not anybodys wish or mistake..plz share some light how you feel when you start recognizing that you are Shiva only..Does this experience starts with experience of that dazzling light/Prakash of Sadashiva.. Have you experienced that last objective, the dazzling light of SadaShiva.
Lastly, my observation, you don't have many learned disciples around you. Someday we all have to die...remember tha mantra you gave to your friend..plz share your knowledge with someone who deserves to get that. Please don't be offended. You are a profoundly knowledgeable person. My respectful 🙏
