𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐎𝐟 𝐈𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 Ignorance presents itself in the following four major forms: 👉The first Form of Ignorance is the groundless belief that the perishable world, including the human body, is imperishable, the things of the world that we see, feel and hear have existed forever and will last forever, and gods and Yogis retain their physical bodies forever through the Power of Yoga. 👉The second Form of Ignorance is the false belief that lustfulness for pleasures of the body is pure joy, even though, in actuality, it is impure pleasure, and untruthfulness, stealing and other vices are pure, acceptable actions, even though, in actuality, they are unacceptable actions. 👉The third Form of Ignorance is the false belief that excessive indulgence in sensual gratification causes joy, even though, in actuality, it causes pain and anguish. 👉The fourth Form of Ignorance is the false belief that things made of Matter are spiritual in nature, i.e., they are possessed of Soul, even though, in actuality, they are material, not possessed of Soul. The foregoing are the four Forms of Ignorance. The reverse of all of this is Knowledge.🙏 #knowledge #learning #ignorance #MDG #guyanagurukula #collegeofvedicstudies www.guyanagurukula.com

𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮'𝐬 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 In Manu’s view, women are the cornerstone of the home and family. A wife represents the essence of the home, embodying more than just its physical structure. To safeguard women from life's challenges, Manu advises that a young girl should remain under her father's care, a bride under her husband's, and a widow under her grown children's protection. Manu emphasizes that women are adept managers of household affairs, likening their presence to that of the goddess of fortune. Families thrive when women are respected and happy, as their presence is believed to attract blessings. Disrespecting women leads to sorrow and ineffectiveness within the family. The relationship between husband and wife is viewed as a spiritual union essential for enduring prosperity and fulfillment. #MDG #guyanagurukula #collegeofvedicstudies #womens #ideology #home #family www.guyanagurukula.com

Vedic doctrine propagates the idea of Reincarnation. What does this theory imply and how logical is it? Dr Satish has a very good explanation for this question🍀 #collegeofvedicstudies #MDG #guyanagurukula #reincarnation www.guyanagurukula.com

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐤𝐚𝐚𝐫? In the Manu Smṛiti, Dharma's purpose is to elevate humanity from basic existence to higher levels. Sanskaar, a key aspect of Dharma, refines the body and mind much like grammar refines language. This process is likened to transforming raw gold into a polished gem, bringing forth the divine personality within. One significant Sanskaar is the Sacred Thread (Yajñopaveet, Janeo), marking children’s transition from childhood to student life, where they learn and follow strict disciplines. This rite is essential in shaping their future as responsible individuals. After the student stage, the householder stage (Gṛihastha) is highly praised for its role in maintaining society through family life, mutual support, and fulfilling social duties. Marriage, or Vivaha Sanskaar, is crucial for ensuring compatibility and purity in the family line, elevating the union to a divine partnership. Manu Smṛiti also emphasizes the householder's virtues: simplicity, compassion, and generosity, ensuring family and societal harmony. Misguided choices in marriage, neglect of family duties, and promiscuity lead to family ruin, highlighting the importance of responsible living. #learn #MDG #guyanagurukula #collegeofvedicstudies #sanskaar #manusmriti

This spiritual science frees us from agony and death, surpassing other sciences like natural, social, economic, and environmental. Manu acknowledges that while people pursue various physical aspirations, the highest goal is everlasting beatitude (Mukti). Achieving this requires aligning lesser goals with this ultimate aim, harmonizing one's current life with future lives. The Manu Smṛiti outlines the soul's journey through many lives, ultimately achieving self-realization. It stands as both a crucial law book and a complete philosophy of life, ranking highest among similar works by later Rishis. www.guyanagurukula.com
