THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

aprakāśo'pravṛttiś ca pramādo moha eva ca tamasyetāni jāyante vivṛddhe kurunand

O son of Kuru, when there is an increase in the mode of ignorance, madness, illusion, inertia and darkness are manifested

Let the light and wisdom of Kṛṣṇa, the Jagadguru, dispel your darkness and tamas.

yadā sattve pravṛddhe tu pralayaṁ yāti dehabhṛt tadottamavidāṁ lokānam alānpratipadyate

When one dies in the mode of goodness [satva], He goes to the highest of worlds

When a person who is steeped in the attributes of satva dies, he becomes divine.

rajasi pralayaṁ gatvā karmasaṅgiṣu jāyate tathā pralīnas tamasi mūḍhayoniṣu jāyate

When one dies in the mode of passion [rajas], he takes birth among those engaged in activities. When he dies in the mode of ignorance [tamas], he takes birth in the space of the ignorant.

The meaning of life is to be in the space of completion; to be in restful awareness, to realize our inner Divinity

karmaṇaḥ sukṛtasyāhuḥ sāttvikaṁ nirmalaṁ phalam rajasastu phalaṁ duḥkham ajñānaṁ tamasaḥ phalam

By acting in the mode of goodness, one becomes purified. Work done in the mode of passion results in distress, and actions performed in the mode of ignorance result in foolishness

When we are steeped in satva, we live in restful awareness

sattvātsañjāyate jñānaṁ rajaso lobha eva ca pramādamohau tamaso bhavato'jñānameva ca

From the mode of goodness, real knowledge develops; from the mode of passion, greed develops; from the mode of ignorance develops foolishness, madness and illusion.

Satva drives our journey towards our core, our true self, ātma.
