Bhajagovindam:- Slogam-2&3

------------------------------------------------------------------/

Slogam 2 is about kanchanam[wealth] and Slogam 3 is about kamini[women]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/

The mankind's thirst and clinging attachments towards these kanchanam and kamini is highlighted.Here Swami Sankaracharya's aim is not disregard wealth[Lakshmi] and woman[Sakthi/Parvathy]. Swamiji just declared the TRUTH only.

It is natural that the clinging attachments towards kanchanam and kamini. All average humanbeings equally desire two things 1.amassing wealth, 2.maximum indulge in sex and satisfaction.

All living things move towards the single aim of acieving peace and satisfaction. Removal of sorrow and gaining of happinessis the normal thought of all,  which makes them engaged in karma continuosly.

To escape from the fear, unstability, anxiety, like; the enemies attack people run behind wealth. But they do not know that there is no end for their thirst . Once a person gain security and wealth, next his/her thirst will be for POWER. Thereafter SEX for his/her greed, and run behind it.

Sankaracharya warns, not to take in wrong sense. Here Swami wants to show the natural attraction between man and woman is comman and it is biological and natures necessity.

But a greedy thirst in any way ends in sorrow and pain. Both man and woman fall into sufferings together if they are not  conscious that their relationship should be natural and biological need.Over indulge  and loss of vital energy which is necessary for karthvya karma is highlighted by swami.Men and women relationship must be pure,holy, and under control.
This is possible to them who have commonsense,but is not possible to animals. This is the supreme quality of  mankind.

In the early stages of Upasanait is difficult for Sadakan[seeker] to follow, after some time of sincere and honest practice person may succeed, but it takes time, proceed slowly.
HURRY IS HARMFUL IN ATMEEYAM.

The Mahabharata -  Speech by Swami Vivekananda - Delivered at the Shakespeare Club, Pasadena, California, February 1, 1900)   The other epic about which I am going to speak to you this evening, is called the Mahâbhârata. It contains the story of a race descended from King Bharata, who was the son of Dushyanta and Shakuntalâ. Mahâ means great, and Bhârata means the descendants of Bharata, from whom India has derived its name, Bhârata. Mahabharata means Great India, or the story of the great descendants of Bharata. The scene of this epic is the ancient kingdom of the Kurus, and the story is based on the great war which took place between the Kurus and the Panchâlas. So the region of the quarrel is not very big. This epic is the most popular one in India; and it exercises the same authority in India as Homer's poems did over the Greeks. As ages went on, more and more matter was added to it, until it has become a huge book of about a hundred thousand couplets. All sorts of

CHAPTER 2. HINDU SCRIPTURES : 1.5     1.The Scriptures : 5 5. The Ramayana The Ramayana, the Adi-Kavya or the first epic poem, relates the story of Sri Rama, the ideal man. It is the history of the family of the solar race descended from Ikshvaku, in which was born Sri Ramachandra, the Avatara of Lord Vishnu, and his three brothers. The ideal characters like Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata and Sri Hanuman that we find in Ramayana firmly establish Hindu Dharma in our minds. The story of the birth of Rama and his brothers, their education and marriages, the exile of Sri Rama, the carrying off and recovery of Sita, his wife, the destruction of Ravana, the Rakshasa King of Lanka, and the reign of Sri Rama, are described in detail in Ramayana. How a man should behave towards his superiors, equals and inferiors, how a king ought to rule his kingdom, how a man should lead his life in this world, how he can obtain his release, freedom and perfection, may be learnt from this excellen
