Chapter 1.3

Here our great Masters were discussing solutions to common man’s problems. We must understand that even though they were beyond miseries of the world, their compassion was so great that they wanted to uplift ordinary people like us from our sufferings too.

Sri Suta’s Answers to Saunaka

Sage Saunaka’s remarkable devotion to the Lord and inquisitiveness to know more about the development of inner strength and happiness, pleased Sri Suta very much.

He agreed to give him wisdom regarding THAT which is the essence of all theories, and which would destroy all kinds of fear, sorrows and weaknesses and increase devotion.

This was none other than Srimad Bhagavatham, the nectar or the essence of all Knowledge that helps one to develop inner God feeling and strength.

This, which has been glorified by Sri Suka (Suka Maharshi, the son of Veda Vyasa) and which is the essence of all the Vedas, is that which will surely destroy the sorrows from everyone’s mind.

(Note – Our minds are filled with fear of death. Time is symbolized by “KalaSarpam”. We do not know when we will be entering it’s horrible mouth. Fear of an uncertain future grips our minds. We are unaware that, actually, we are already living in the mouth of this snake (time) and we don’t know when it will gulp us down. Each and every one of us wants immortality, that is, liberation from the fear of death).

To be continued ...

1. INTRODUCTION :             Education is a special discipline and theory and practice of education deserves to receive a special attention. According to Sathya Sai Baba, “An education system in country is a bank on which the people can draw a cheque for the upliftment of the society”. The organization of such a bank needs to be solemnised and progressive. It is only the contribution of great thinkers in the field of education can guide the planners to have this organization on sound footings. We in India have an ideal educational system in ancient time. It worked well for the society of that time.

One of the most important persons was a Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. The cruci
