SEEKING IS THE HINDU GRAND NARRATIVE🔗

Seeking reorganizes and rejuvenates your inner image. It beautifully evolves a very powerful inner image, a very powerful outer image, and a very powerful life image. Living with the people in whom seeking is awakened is Kailayai, Kailasa (abode of Lord Shiva).

Seeking is the Hindu grand narrative. Before expanding on this new word, which I uttered, 'the Hindu grand narrative,' I wanted to acknowledge and thank Sri Rajiv Malhotra, it is from his article that I picked up this word 'the Hindu grand narrative' and the concept of Hindu grand narrative.

The grand narrative means that every civilization has a collective identity. Sometimes artificially created with integrity, and sometimes artificially created without integrity.

The grand narrative is the collective inner image each civilization creates. Each civilization adopts their own grand narrative. Sometimes the grand narrative evolves spontaneously and sometimes the grand narrative evolves in an organized way.

Spontaneously evolved grand narrative is Shirdi Sai baba's grand narrative. With any organized effort,

just spontaneously the grand narrative started, and it has spread all over the world as Shirdi Sai movement.

Organized way grand narrative is Bhagavan Swaminarayana's movement. Hindiuism has multiple grand narratives. All major countries have their grand narrative, all major civilizations have their grand narrative based on their need and time.

So this grand narrative is one of the most important thing to guide the existing civilization or to bring any revolution in the civilization or to guide the flow of the civilization, or even to revive any civilization. For anything, you need a clear-cut grand narrative so that your inner image can be beautifully aligned.

My grand narrative was Arunagiri Yogiswara and Annamalai Swamigal (my Gurus). All the time I will remember only these two. Any practical actions, I will remember Annamalai Swamigal. Any mystical things, I will remember Arunagiri Yogishwara.

If I have to move mountains or do something great, then immediately I fall into the space of Arunaguri Yogishwara. For any ordinary action I will think about, 'at this moment, how Annamalai Swamigal will respond?' That is the way I grew up, until the age of twelve. My Grand Narrative was Arunaguri Yogishwara and Annamalai Swamigal. Every situation I will think, 'how will he behave? How will he respond? How will he react?' So they became my grand narrative inside.

You need a grand narrative only then can you align your inner image to it. Your need for Guru is nothing, but your need for a grand narrative. Whoever accepts Me as their Guru, for all of you I have become the grand narrative. This is the way the grand narratives get built.

We had thousands of grand narratives in each locality. For example, for Maharastra, Bharat Sant Gnaneshwara was the Grand Narrative. For Karnataka, Bharat Bhagavan Bassavanna, was the grand narrative.

If I look at what is the grand narrative of Hinduism, it cannot just be a concept, it has to be a person, very physical, down to earth, which people can perceive in their level and play with their visualization, and use it to align themselves.

If a concept can be a grand narrative of Hinduism, then seeking is the grand narrative of Hinduism.

Seeking is the grand narrative that can be cherished, enjoyed, and visualized, with which you can play with your visualization, which can inspire you to align your inner image, which can remind you again and again the highest purpose of your Existence. Seeking which can raise you to the space of seeking, again and again.

Hindus have denied the need for a grand narrative for at least last two hundred years. We have not realized we need a grand narrative. That is the collective identity for all of us.

We are trying to push this problem under the carpet, saying, 'no, no, no, if you create the grand narrative of Krishna, all the Shaivaites (Shiva devotees) will be dropped out. If you create the grand narrative of Shiva, all the Vaishnavaites (Vishnu devotees) will be dropped out. If you create the grand narrative of Devi, all the other traditions will be dropped out.'

Hindus are intelligent enough to move from one Ishta Devata (chosen deity) to another Ishta Devata. If you have not had at least six to seven Ishta Devatas, you are never a seeker. If you are a seeker, you would have had at least six to seven Ishta Devatas. Because, every time you evolve, you will connect with the next level of definition.

If you receive Shiva as the embodiment of Enlightenment, at the age of seven you may not have felt connected with Him. At the age of seven, you need a Ganesha who nicely eats and roams around and jumps.

Then at the age of fourteen, the grand narrative of Subramanya would have been more appealing for you: youth, beauty, valor, and visor than Ganesha.

Then after you have had two to three girlfriends, then you need Shiva – the grand narrative of Enlightenment. You will simply feel connected.

So at different times when you evolve, you will feel connected to the different grand narratives.

If we can make people enlightened without the Hindu grand narratives, then with the Hindu Grand Narrative, we will be able to make easily people enlightened.

That is the away to take away people's depression, to take away the people's fatigue, and to take away the people's boredom.

Human beings live in the intoxication of grand narrative, and intoxication of the grand narrative is required to go through forced depression by the narratives given to you by society. As a mother you should be this, this, and this. As a father you should be this, this, and this. As a brother you should be this, this, and this.

This all forced on you and your bio-memory is made to believe it. When you face some difficulty and problems, b ecause of these social narratives about you, the intoxication of grand narrative takes away the depression. Grand narrative is the antidote for all the s ufferings you created based on your social narratives. It is such powerful inspiration to remove your mental fatigue, tiredness and boredom.

The grand narrative is required to keep the seeking up and alive and active, and make you enlightened.
