Thatha writes...

Our Scriptures and their benevolent considerations towards the human beings:

Broadly, the human life has been grouped into four divisions: Balya, Youwana, Samsara and Vanaprastha. Next the circumstances/environments under which have to function got classified as the respective yoga dharmamsas they vary from yugam to yugam. Our Seers then came out with the related scriptures like Vishnu Puraanam etc. detailed out the above initially through strictly defined oral traditions to maintain their sanctity and purity.

The problems commenced when our scriptures got recorded in palm leaves/books and the related and the related clarificatory write-ups started sprouting up from different vested interests. The great seers Aadhi Shankara, Sri Ramanujam and Sri Madhawa added their own interpretations under the headings Advaitham, Visishtaaadhvaitham and Swaijham. Their approaches then got multiplied into innumerous sub-groups. However, the basic approach that every human being should get the best out of this present life itself continued as a latent life blood behind though not obviously apparent.

Commencing with ground wise spiritual religious approaches, Lord Krishna reduced the entire gamut to a divinity to an individual human face to face in his kaliyug closing Sreemath bhagawath Geetha.

We, the present generation, find ourselves in the 5000th year kaliyug with its total duration of 4,32,000 human years.

It is time to understand and appreciate that each human has two orientations in one's life in a day to day basis. They are external oriented and the internal oriented (nivruth) also called as margs. it should not be overlooked that the prospects of one impinging on the other either directly or indirectly have to be confronted by each of us. 

Next comes the two separate groundings of the humans into sexes with commonalities between the two but specifics exclusive for the female sex for bearing the important responsibility for human birth and reproduction.

With all the above in mind here is a common way of day to day human way of life to achieve the best out of one's life - both sexes - in the present life itself.

No doubt when one starts these practices what is the related balance sheet in that regard of each one do matter.

As we are discussing about one's present life in the present kaliyug environment, the other important aspects after one's death, concepts of heaven and hell and the prevalent anthropomorphic concept of divinity rather personal to each of us have been scrupulously avoided here.

It should, however, be noted that what has been spelt out here are within the comfort realm of each one to be put in to practice without any extra strain and also not seriously affecting one's personal day to day life.

Here are the suggestions. please start giving them a serious try. As already stated earlier, with the present balance sheet of your own life, make your yet-to-come life span more interestingly and more productive to yourself. You have it in you. Go ahead.

Best Wishes,
V.Sundararajan (Aged 94)
