Vedanta - The River of Wisdom

Show Notes

Any one who commits wrong actions or even crime may escape the law of land but cannot escape the law of Karma presided over by Bhagavan. Such a person will suffer the consequences while living or may actually go to naraka. The Puranas speak of 28 kinds of narakas of suffering which relate to different kinds of wrong actions committed here on earth.

Knowing about them may prompt us to think twice before we do wrong actions. What are these 28 narakas and how can we avoid suffering, after death?

Guru Paduka Stotram is a powerful set of well-known devotional verses that glorify the sacred “Padukas (Sandals) of the Guru. Why are the padukas or sandals sacred? Because of association with the feet of the guru. In the Vedic culture, the guru as well as his/her feet are worshipped. The feet represent the path taken by the teacher, the path prescribed by the Vedas of a life of Dharma and Moksha. The verses in this stotram describe the glory of the Guru-padukas, the qualities of the guru and how a seeker’s life transforms with a Guru’s grace. We look into the meaning and revel in the Guru's grace.
