2. Sri Ramakrishna Sharanam Dhun

Fills one with love, devotion and surrender. Size: 10 Mb

3. Aum / Om

Aum (OM) is the name of Album (containing one single track) sung by Pandit Jasraj. This is not continuous chanting of mantra Aum, but a continuous singing at different notes. The pitch varies from high to low and thus relaxes the mind. It is 45 minutes of continuous singing in a single Male voice with harmonium and occasional ringing of bells in the background. Best Effect when played at low volume with head phone. It can also be played at office  in a very low volume. Keeps one connected to divinity.

The audio is very old and I do not find it in any music store.

MP3 version is uploaded at SoundCloud.com. To Listen Online / Download

Size: 53Mb - high quality

4. Om Namoh Narayana:

This is a slow group chanting in male voice. There a stuti for 1:53 mins. After that the chanting begins immediately. Since this was converted from an audio tape, so the voice quality is not very good. But it is worth listening.

5. Ashcharya Hai:

This is a classic advaita bhajan based on Ajata Vada of Ashtavakra Gita. The sound quality is not good.

Ajata means

A + Jata

i.e. A + janma 

Janma = birth.

Ajata means "one which is not born"

This is the highest advaita principle in which nothing except Atman or Brahman exits. No world, no God, only pure Atman.

6. Chandramauli:

This is also very old and classical song which sings in the praise of Lord Shiva. The sound quality is not very good, but worth listening.

Hope this music fills you with bliss.

What is a Blog?

A blog (weblog or web log) is much more casual, less stuffy than a traditional 'business' website. It is more conversational and in the moment than a static site. Source

A blog is a type of website that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent ‘post’ (or entry) at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom. Source 

Anyone can be a blogger. Blogger is the one who publishes posts (articles).

A Blog is a free expression of common men. Blog can be based on any topic. Blog is for everybody.

 

Blogger help says

 

Introduction

 

A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world.

 

Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.

 

In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not.

 

Publish your thoughts

 

A blog gives you your own voice on the web. It's a place to collect and share things that you find interesting— whether it's your political commentary, a personal diary, or links to web sites you want to remember.

 

Many people use a blog just to organize their own thoughts, while others command influential, worldwide audiences of thousands. Professional and amateur journalists use blogs to publish breaking news, while personal journalers reveal inner thoughts.

 

Whatever you have to say, Blogger can help you say it.

 

Engage your friends

 

Blogging is about more than just putting your thoughts on the web. It's about connecting with and hearing from anyone who reads your work and cares to respond. With Blogger, you control who can read and write to your blog — let just a few friends or the entire world see what you have to say!

 

Blogger Comments let anyone, anywhere, offer feedback on your posts. You can choose whether you want to allow comments on a post-by-post basis, and you can delete any comments you don't like.

 

Access Controls let you decide who can read and who can write to your blog. You can use a group blog with multiple authors as an excellent communication tool for small teams, families and other groups. Or as a single author, you can create a private online space for collecting news, links, and ideas, to keep to yourself or share with as many readers as you want.

 

Blogger Profiles let you find people and blogs that share your interests. Your Blogger Profile, where you can list your blogs, your interests, and more, lets people find you (but only if you want to be found).

 

Difference between a Blog and a Website

 

Blog

Website

Easy to setup and design a blog. Even a non-technical person can setup a blog. No Technical knowledge is necessary.

More difficult for non-technical. Technical knowledge of coding is necessary.

A blog is much more casual, less stuffy than a traditional 'business' website. It is more conversational and in the moment than a static site.

Has a professional look and feel and approach.

Not well organized.

Well-organized.

Info is not easy to find

Info is easy to find. Websites are designed keeping this parameter in consideration.

Regularly or frequently updated

May or may not be regularly updated. Generally less frequently updated.

Very easy to post articles

Needs a professional approach

Anyone can be a blogger.

Not for everybody

More interactive with readers. Has “comments”, with which any reader can give his thoughts on the article.

Less interactive than blog.

Covers a wider area

Does not cover as wider area as a blog

Whenever a blog is updated, it can be known be it’s reader by the feature of Feeds.

Usually no such communication is made with the readers

New post or updates of your Blog will appear in Search Engines very, very quickly. Usually within minutes.

Takes time for new pages to be recognised by search spiders and so are not available in search engines immediately.

Big hearted techies offer high help in blog customization, features for free

Very less help available for Free.

 

Blogs Aren’t Necessarily Personal

 

The main misconception regarding the definition of blogs comes from people that associate blogs with their content. More specifically from people that associate blogs with the content from one particular type of blog: personal blogs.

 

In other words, those people think that blogs are online diaries where people share their opinions, ramblings and personal events.

 

Wrong!

 

That is just one of the things that you could do with a blog.

 

Today blogs are being used for all sorts of purposes. You have companies that use blogs to communicate and interact with customers and other stake holders. Newspapers that incorporated blogs to their main website to offer a new channel for their writers. Individuals that created a blog to share with the world their expertise on specific topics. And so on.

What is a Feed?

 

Introduction

 

Feeds let you receive messages from newspapers and other information sources on the Web. Rather than visiting a newspaper Web site checking for updates all the time, you can subscribe to the site's feed, and receive news summaries like you receive e-mail messages.

 

Subscribing to feeds

 

Correctly coded RSS and Atom feeds will be automatically recognized by the browser when linked from a page you visit. Browser will then display a small icon within the address field. Click the icon to subscribe to the feed.

 

The first time you subscribe to a feed, Feeds will be added to Opera's main menu, and a "Feeds" heading will appear in your Mail panel if you have set up one or more e-mail or news accounts.

 

You can also right-click the mail panel and select "Feeds" to access a subscription dialog.

 

All feeds that you subscribe to will be available in the Feeds menu.

 

Note that it may take a while for the server to send you the first feed items after you subscribe.

 

Managing feeds

 

Feed items are managed in the same way as e-mail messages and can be searched, forwarded by e-mail, and so forth.

How to Use this Blog (INDIASPIRITUALITY) – Blog Basics

 

Blogger Navbar

 navbar

Blogger with Blog*spot domain name, by default has the Blogger Navbar. It has integrated search for the blog. So the search box in the Navbar searches the Blog. Most people do not know that the search in Navbar is for that particular Blog, so I have embedded another search box in the Horizontal Navbar. Just below the Blog Header.

 

Feed Icons

 

Feed icon in Address Bar

 rss address bar

This is the Feed icon. RSS ot ATOM. Both work in the similar way. Don’t know much about the technical difference between the two. They follow different standards.

 

Subscribe in Feed Reader

 subscribe rss

This is similar to the feed icon in the address bar. RSS Feed is automatically detected by the browser. Incase it fails to detect then this text link can do the work.

 

 

Categories or Labels

 rss catagories 

These are the labels given for any posts. If you are only interested in one particular category or Label (e.g. Ramakrishna Kathamrita), then you can subscribe to the RSS of a single Label. So, whenever a post with label Ramakrishna Kathamrita is published, you will get an alert or a RSS feed in your Feed Reader.

 

Numbers in the bracket shows the no posts post with the corresponding Label.

Please note that one post can have more than one label. So the Sum of all the numbers after labels (e.g. Saints (18) ) will not be equal to the total number of Posts published.

 

Subscribe by Email

 subscribe1

One can Subcribe to the Blog Posts by conventional Email. After subscribing, you will receive an email every 24 hours. The email contains all the posts within the 24 hours. If there are no posts published, you will not receive an email. Blog administrator can also change the settings the way email will be send, like the time and the hours. i.e. daily or weekly.

 

 

Table Of Contents (TOC)

 toc

TOC shows all the posts published in descending order. Latest post is on the top and the oldest at the bottom.

 

Sitemap

sitemap

Sitemap shows all the posts.

 

Sitemap hack (hack does not mean a piracy), developed by Hans of Beautifulbeta and modified by Amanda of Blogger Buster, shows all the posts. The view can be sorted by clicking on the headers like Post Date, Labels and Post Title. Clicking two times will change the sorting order (i.e. descending to ascending) alphabetically.

 

Please note that the Sitemap shows all the posts, even that are in draft, so it shows repeated entries.

 

Happy Reading

Understanding Advaita is a website dedicated to removing  mis-concepts about our guru Śrī Ādi Śankarāchārya jī and traditional Advaita Vedanta. Site contains quotes from Sri Ramana Maharshi as Author is influenced by Maharshi's Works. 


For explaining Basics of Advaita Vedanta, a page Understading Advaita is created which attempts to explain advaita in simple way. 

A special page adhyAropa apavAda is dedicated to explain advaita vedanta from this POV (Point Of View)

Other pages dedicated to different topics like 'Meditative Journey of an Advaitin' and various quotes from shAstras supporting advaita are also published. 

Home Page gives short description of each Page.


Hindu Dharma also known as Sanatan Dharma (सनातन धर्म, Sanātana Dharma, sanAtana dharma)


This site is dedicated to explain Hindu Dharma from Traditional POV (Point Of View). It attempts to explain various aspects unique to Sanatan Dharma like Multiple Gods, IshTa devatA, Belief in past lives and Rebirth, Basic texts of Sanatana Dharma, different types of yogas, 5 bodies, chakras and nadis, mantras, Idol Worship, jivan mukti (eternal freedom while still living in physical body), etc


Blogs by Friends



This is a blog by my brotherly friend. I am not author to this Blog. He has great knowledge in Shaivism and Sanatana Dharma in general. Site came up as a response to counter false narrative which aims to denigrate the Status of Lord Shiva in a zeal to prove Lord Vishnu as Supreme Godhead.


This blog contains articles which some readers may not like. However, it has many insightful articles and some very unique like the


The unassailable glory of lord Bhuvaneshwara – the primordial Skambha supporting the worlds, which contains Skambha Sutra, an Atharvavedic hymn which explains Siva as skahbha or stambha, a divine pillar of infinite length whose beginning or end is not traceable. It is a pillar of consciousness.


Another article worth noting is  The Imperishable Glory of Lord Kameshwara – The Primordial God of Desire. This article contains Maheshvara Sutras which explain origin of Universe from Siva's Damru and relates it to various alphabets. Author has taken pain to explain Nandekshwara's Kashika on Maheshwara sutras which explains mAtrikA shrushTi i.e. creation from mAtrA-s i.e. aksharamala or alphabets.


Third article-series worth note is Translation of unique Siva gItA of padma purANa with Sanskrit original.



As the name stands, this Blog is really Adbhutam (wonderful). It is an excellent, unique blog. This blog is not for laymen. Readers are expected to have basic knowledge in traditional Advaita Vedanta. It is written by a very knowledgeable Advaitin in a scholarly way.


It focuses on expounding teachings of Advaita Vedanta using commentaries by various traditional AchArya-s like Sri Adi SankarAchArya jI, Sri madhusudan sarasvatI ji, Sri appaya dikshita, and other saints. It also has posts that defend advaita philosophy by refuting objections raised against it by providing quotes from scriptures and from shAstra-s. Nothing out of shAstra-s is being said.

Hence, I went ahead and created a list which will have few blogs but they will have quality content. 



The idea behind created a CSE was that it is a restricted search in only the websites or URLs that are added to the search engine. So we can trust the content as we trust blogs.



As time went by, I became inactive in online activity and stayed away from social media sites. Hence The updation and maintenance of this page was also abandoned. As on 28-Oct-2019, after spending a few hours, list is finally updated Now the blogs that are active as on 28-Oct-2019 are added first. There is no categorisation as earlier. Old blogs which cease to exist were deleted from list. Discussion groups which are no longer active are deleted. Only active groups and forums are listed. Other blogs which are not active, but still exists are listed below after active blog list for archival purpose. Nevertheless their content is still good and worth reading. 


If you find a blog that is listed here, but does not exist, please email on indiaspirituality [at] gmail.com.

This is not a blog, but an ocean of knowledge
Astrojyoti is a gigantic collection of information of Hindu Shastras, Astrology, strotras in MP3. Along other shastras, Astrojyoti also hosts Bhagavad Gita by Swami Shivananda Saraswati with MP3 chanted in a sweet single voice of Swami Brahmananda of Chinmaya Mission. It can be streamed online or downloaded.

Considering that this project is handled by just one man, it is really a gigantic effort, a Bhagirathi prayaas.

Bhagavad Gita commentary with streaming audio can be found 
here and in streaming and downloadable in MP3 format can be found here.

Annihilating the Ignorance & Hatred towards Mahādēva !…

This blog is managed by my brotherly friend Santosh Kumar Ayalasomayajula (षण्मातुरः) who started this blog as a result of facing constant bashing from Vaishnavas. He was pained to see Lord Shiva been denigrated by the people of our very own faith. This blog contains quality posts glorifying Lord Shiva, it has full Shiva Gita with Sanskrit – English Translation and many important hymns from veda-s like skambha sUkta of atharva veda. It also objects to objections raised by Vaishnava-s against Lord Shiva and refutes them in his own typical way. Whatever is said by him, has a scriptural base.
He is a simple Hindu who has respect for all forms of God, but like Sri Appaya dikshita said, ‘I have not the slightest objection, to anyone coming to any conclusion, that the spirit of the Vedas and the Vedantas, declare either Vishnu or Shiva as the First God. I am a follower of the Advaita doctrine. I have no difference between Shiva and VishNu. But if in order to establish Vishnu as the main God, if somebody starts abusing Shiva or hates him, I cannot bear it. There are as many proofs or pramanas in the Vedas, Vedantas, Puranas and Agamas to establish that Shiva is a mighty God, as there are to prove that Vishnu is a powerful one. However, I am propagating my religion and indulging in debate and disputation, only to persuade everyone not to hate Shiva. Let no one have the slightest doubt that I either hate or wish to denigrate Lord Vishnu simply because I praise the grace and greatness of Lord Shiva.’
This blog has it’s own list of recommended Sites. It recommends blogs and websites with quality content.

A quality blog by Sri V. Subramanian ji, a scholar in Advaita and in Sanskrit. This blog may not be suitable for a beginning, but for those who study scriptures, it is an ocean of knowledge. Rarely we find such blogs on Advaita. Anything said by the author will always have reference in shastras. References are also cited frequently. Advaitins can learn a lot from his work.

Among creations I am the beginning, the middle and also the end, O Arjuna! Among the sciences I am the science of the Self. Bhagavad Gita, Ch. 10:32

Blog on Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita. Posts are at times material in nature and are personal opinion of the author and not exact quote for the scriptures.
Blog posts are now printed into a book since 25-Jun-2015 by Sharon Maas (Aruna Dasi). It took almost 40 years to write a book on Mahabharata.
Quote from Author
“What does this version have that the others don't?

A long time ago, it seemed to me that with every new version I read, some vital element was lacking. Either the writing was inadequate, bland, not truly reflecting the power of the story. Or else (to me) essential elements of the story were missing. Or major characters seemed lifeless. Or it was just a basic summary without dramatic punch. Or it was so long the actual story was buried in a thousand minor sub-plots or stories-within-stories. Or it was too scholarly, or had too much authorial intrusion. Or it lacked spiritual depth.

What I wanted was a book the length of an average novel, a continuous story distilled down to its vital essence, but dramatised so as to captivate the reader, with living, breathing characters, spiritually alive and written in an accessible style yet retaining the powerful spirit of the original. That's a lot to ask of one book. The story needed restructuring, to make it a powerful read that would pull the reader in and let him or her truly live the story. It was a lot of work. It took a long time...” – Post published on 25-Mar-2015

This website/blog is dedicated to the stories of Shirdi Sai Baba. The main focus of this blog is collecting wonderful stories of the Master Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi. The Spiritual Master or the Guru as popularly known in India.
Writing of the stories will be done as a part of Sadhana, as a part of love and devotion towards Baba. It will be more of a personal thing between the writer and the Baba. For the writer it is a way of pleasing the Master. Baba becomes happy when His stories are shared, hence these personal Sadhana is being shared with the interested souls.
