Srimate Raamnujaya Namaha,

Very interesting swamy. 

Initially it was oral reception, then it became books,  then online books , then online videos, then it became google search, and now AI based Chatgpt. 

Yes, we are getting into next level in technology..but not sure where it will take us :(-

Adiyen

Agreed swamy ! your views on AI is well needed. Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan.

Adiyen beg to differ. AI is based on stored data. While it thinks the % of correctness > 90% it doesn’t mean it aids or provides an acceptable answer.

Instead of aiding , such technologies make student’s brain blunt & more dependant. Students nowadays don’t know basic tables & looking for calculators.

When I typed “Srimathe Rangaramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha” it said “Great AchArya” etc. Good but what if majority population thinks otherwise & makes negative views trend more? AI will evaluate & give different answer.

That is very very dangerous swamy!

Originally scriptural knowledge was passed on only through aural reception. This mandated that one has to approach a guru and learn from him. When we receive in person from the Guru, we will imbibe the parampara knowledge without one’s own interpretation.

With the advent of written copies, printed copies and online resources, scriptural knowledge is free for interpretation by anybody and everybody. An example in case: recently one political party circulated their own interpretation of Manu smrthi.

Progression in technology will only accelerate the progression of kali. There is no about about this.

We can keep saying “but I use it for good use only”. But it will all break down quickly. I know one (retired) person who was eager to get a smart phone about 6-7 years ago because it will be a quick and easy access to  Prabandam and other recitation-verses. This could have easily been done with printed books; but unfortunately the smart phone came in. Over time, the smart phone use expanded to other things, and eventually most of the time got wasted with junk use only…. Utterly junk use that takes our mind away from absorption in Perumal related things!

Such technological progression will make us more and more dull and accelerate the progression of kali.

Make a list of technological progression in over the past 20 years, 50 years, 100 years, 200 years. Then make a list of predictions of how kaliyuga will degrade. Correlation of how things have degraded over the past few decades will make it evident how the technological progression are indeed agents of kali.

So, should we stop using all technological devices? No, we will not be able to even if we want to. But we can do two things:

1. Be very very careful in our own usage; use it only for progressing spiritually, and be very very very careful not to fall victim to the negative uses.
2. Be aware that these are agents of kali, and not glorify them ever. When we (who are aspiring to progress spiritually) start glorifying, the common people will also think ‘technology is good’ and spiral down in their life

adiyen.

Adiyen agree with Kambandasan Swamy’s views & differ from Badrinaraya Ramanuja Dasan Swamy’s views in this matter.

Remember “En Iniya IyandirA” program during old doordarshan days AI will create slaves like that.

For spiritualism let’s always refer directly from our Acharya. Whatever the answer may be let’s accept it & move on.

Addiction to technology is distancing from Krishna.

I imagine going to forest without any phone & penance on Sriman Narayana let snake 🐍tiger 🐅 bite me I wish to take the end happily.

If Valmikam can surround VAlmiki why not us?

Technology should never overpower us in any form. This is my motto.

Srimathe Rangaramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha
Srimathe Sri Varaha Mahadesikaya Namaha
Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy Thiruvadigaley Sharanam
Sri:

Earthians are not animishas. Meaning we have to blink eyelid in this Martya LOkam.

To do bhakthi, forgetting sleep during Vaikunta EkAdeshi in SriRangam is more difficult than SadhA Pashyanthi Sooraya: in Sri Vaikuntham. – Sri Krishna Premi

Is it possible not to sleep?

AndAl condemns being Lazy.
RajO & TamO GuNa are obstacles to Sathvam.

This doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t want Krishna.

Also to compare GOdhA the ayOnijA with normal bhakthAs acceptable?

We can do best with what we can “yathA Shakthi:”

Artha bhakthA will want to leave world & attain Sriman Narayana immediately

Only those can be really called as longing souls

Others are Vaitha NAl varai

When comparing Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy ‘s upanyasam

In Kaliyugam 1 day prayer = 1000 year Tapas of Krutha Yuga

Simply it means those days situation was hethu (favourable) to do bhakthi. Today distractions are more.

Studying under noisy environment vs Studying under quiet environment which is more powerful?

So technically even if 1 minute a devotee thinks of Sriman Narayana’s lotus feets as of today it should be enough for Perumal

SmaraNa Bhakthi

“VishNO: SmaraNam”

Even Yashoda Amma was not an exception
She was deliberately engulfed by mAyA of Sti Krishna

The moment she saw entire multiverse in Kannan’s mouth as a cascading effect, she would have not taught Krishna as her baby

Govardhana Giri Dharanam was an act of Krishna Maya

The Vishwaroopa dharisanam to Arjuna was an act of Krishna mAyA

Therefore as long as we are bound by mAyA ,
the bhakthi of supposedly smaller act is actually weighed heavily by Sriman Narayana

My mother said:
The rat 🐀 that unknowingly bit the lamp (viLakku) of lord Shiva’s temple and made it to glow brighter became a King in next birth

So the power of Conscious Bhakthi?

Swamy,

Perumal prasadam chakra Pongal how sani bhagawan can impact?

Adhu namma gunama Perumal prasada gunama?

Dasanudasan

Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy answered
Animisha: (yAru kannu imaikala nu paatha damayanthi) 43:00 minutes same thread which adiyen pointed

Adiyen sonna namba mAtengarel, Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy answering me in advance

Dasanudasan

Swamy,

Srutha PrakAsikar elaborated Sri Bhashyam

My understanding:
kAraNa KAraNam = Root Cause Perumal
KAraNam = Cause
VisEsha kAraNam = AthmA (jeeva SwAthanthriyam)

Edhukku we are saying:
KAmOkArsheeth ManyurakArsheeth

KAmam kAraNam kOpam kAraNam ?

Why are we pushing our fault to kAmam & kOpam as if it is a visEsha entity?

Dasanudasan

Swamy answered Chakra Pongal prasadam question in same video

Sani will not impact until the act becomes wrong

Therefore he cannot affect PerumAl Prasadam
