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,

could lead you to specific religious fold. But realize that it couldn't be also
so on deeper understanding of your own spiritual background. Create quality
time for solitude for meditation and also prayer so your personal deity if you
happen to feel so moved at any time.

with your past experience and future expectations.
