Why are they not? • Politics – Our youth can see right through it. • Preaching not Inspiring – They are Smart. • Not approachable – “This is how it is done!” • Non-participatory – “What am I doing here?” • Lifestyle is lost.
What Swamiji Taught Us: Temples are Universities • Preserve the Lifestyle. • Why we do what we do? • Morning Suprabatha Puja • Evening Maha Arthi • Offerings • Deities • Utilitarian Aspects of our Temples • Living the Lifestyle of Vidharkha
What Swamiji Taught Us: Pujacharya vs Priest • Relating to the Deities: Creating Practical Solutions • Science behind Temples: They are Temple Sized for a Reason • Smriti: Guidelines for Life, Continously Changing • Sruti : The Ultimate Truth • Involve the Youth
What Swamiji Taught Us: Inspire – Don’t Preach • When we dilute – they dilute further • No one hears you. • Everyone follows you. • Understand, Share and Participate. • Bring Scriptures to Life • Developing the Inner Software – The Vedic Mind. • Truths, not Myth: Significance of Ganesha
What Swamiji Taught Us: Temples – Discovering “Aham Brahmasmi” “Tatvamasi” - The basis of everything done at Nithyananda Vedic Temples.
