na tatra sūryo bhāti / na candratārakaṃ
nemā vidyuto bhānti / kuto’yamagniḥ
tamevabhāntamanubhāti sarvaṃ
tasya bhāsā sarvamidaṃ vibhāti



There the sun does not shine, nor do the moon and the starts.
There this lightening does not shine, what to talk of this fire?
That (awareness) shining, everything shines after it, by the light of this awareness, all this shines in various forms.

"Sharada teaches ‘Yoga Philosophy’ which she calls Yoga Knowledge with all her heart. She conveys the Vedantic/Yogic Teachings & Sacred Disciplines in a real, authentic, graspable, enjoyable, deep, heart-opening and mind-blowing way."
“She is a slight young woman with Swiss, Philippine heritage and it’s clearly not the first life she has dedicated to Vedanta. She has such poise, presence and a deep love of Sanskrit, and her discourse is mind-opening, gentle and exquisite.”
“She is one of the best teachers I have ever come across in my life! Truly transformational, life-changing experience!” Taryn Weggelaar, Loka Yoga School

It can also be adjusted to your program.
 

What is Vaidika Dharma?

 

VAIDIKA is a Sanskrit word that means a universal citizen.

Dharma, universal values that are applicable to all people at all times.

A universal value, for example, is ahimsanon-injury. No being wants to be hurt. Every being runs away from hurt.

This is something very obvious and known to all, yet sometimes we do hurt.  We say things that are not pleasing, we easily lie, we take advantage of other people, we compete, we convert people, and so on.

For a person that is more mature, a value such as ahimsa becomes very important, even to such a degree that eventually one does not want to compromise ones values any more. One has understood that if I play with fire, I get burned.

Vaidika also honors all being through rituals, referred to as yajnas and pujas.

Reaching out to the unseen, the unknown grace factor, through prayers and offerings is a beautiful act of expressing ones gratitude for all the infinite given blessings in one’s life.

Life lives on life. I don’t take anything for granted. For a Vaidika, it is important to honor all beings including the elements, the sun and moon,  forefathers, spiritual teachers, people, animals and the plant kingdom.

Vaidika comes from that which is Veda.

Veda talks about dharma, rituals and there are beautiful stories in the form of literature such as the Puranas and epics like the Maha Bharata and Ramayana. These are healthy myths that provide noble characters to look up to. What have the elders, the wise ones done when faced with difficult situations?  Maybe there is something we can learn from them.

For a Vaidika, there is only One.

There is only one being, one whole that is God. God appearing as all forms, all names, all beings. There is a vision of oneness, of wholeness and of completeness. All beings are whole and complete.  The end goal of a human being is ultimately moksha. Freedom from pain and suffering. Freedom from the cycle of birth and death.  The Vaidika structure helps one to mature, to grow and to be ready for that defectless goal to be achieved. A place of no return – oneself. The self that is One. The self that is the self of all beings. The self that is ever free, limitless and unaffected by anything that happens in this world.

There is a beautiful universal prayer that wishes all beings freedom and peace – mokshaH and svastiH.
That which is ultimately good.
The highest Goal.

Fearlessness.

 

Smt. Sharada Devi is one of my brilliant Senior Students.

She has been with me Studying Vedanta, Sanskrit and Vedic chanting in Bali now for over 13 years and continues to study and teach the same. She has Studied Directly from Sri Swami Dayaananda Saraswati in the Traditional Ashram context and discipline for a year and participated in various camps. 

 She is highly committed and well established in all aspects of Vedic traditional structure, Attitudes, and Values, she embodies these values and is constantly sharing the same with all her devoted students. Sharada is a qualified Celebrant in her own right having been traditionally initiated with major Hindu  Vedic Samskāras ie. spiritual initiations.

She has been blessed by her revered teachers and embodies these rites of passage and Initiates others who sincerely ask and are ready to receive these priceless transformational blessings in their lives.

In her Devotional Yajna Spirit, she has been organising and conducting Sacred Feminine Women’s circles empowering women to profoundly heal themselves at all levels and has inspired many women to do the same.

Sharada has classically trained in Odissi a form of Bhaarata Naatya sacred devotional Dance, a profound form of Meditation – integrating body mind and spirit to be one with Deity.

She is deeply immersed in all aspects of Traditional devotional Ishvara Pujaa and has trained so many sincere yogic students in these priceless spiritual practices. She has been teaching mainly in Bali live classes individuals and groups in established International Yoga Teacher Trainings, and also on the web through “Vaidika Dharma” & Her Sacred “Be Woman Project” and during summer months she teaches in Sweden, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, Holland etc. with Ishvara Guru and Shāstras grace profound for Jnāna Vairāgya Moksa Siddhih.

May her sacred Yajna continue timelessly blessing all that come to be blessed by her guidance and teaching.

with Naaraayana Smrtih 

Swami Vagishaananda Saraswati
