MAYA AS CREATIVITY
Yuva Bharati|October 2020
“The senses cheat you day and night. Vedanta found that ages ago. Modern science is just discovering the same fact.” --- Swami Vivekananda

MAYA AS CREATIVITY

Creativity Series - 30

Part - I

1. A well-known verse from Tamil Tirumoolar’s Tirumandiram refers to a wooden statue of on elephant. When you see the elephant, the wood is not seen. When you see the wood, the elephant is missing.

2. Maya is the hiding power. It is also called avidya, ignorance. It is the creative force of the Brahman, the Ultimate Reality.

3. Maya does not create a distance between an object and its appearance. Nor does it create a distance, a gap between the Brahman and the creation. The Brahman appears as the world. But substantially there is no difference between the two.

4. Maya is the Shakti of the Brahman. It is otherwise known on Prakriti, Avyakta or Avidya (nescience). Maya exists, but it does not exist as an independent entity second to Brahman. Its existence depends upon the existence of Brahman. Due to such dependent existence it is different from Brahman, non-different from Brahman, and neither different nor non-different from Brahman.

Punyabhoomi Bharatam
Yuva Bharati

Punyabhoomi Bharatam

When I was Principal in Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya at Kanyakumari, I had made it a point to go to all the classes in a week. I used to take ‘moral science’ classes. Whatever is to be told to children to mould them and develop proper attitude and good habits in them I used to tell through stories. After experimenting with various suggested courses, I came to the conclusion that a story can be the most effective tool. So, I made my plan that in each class a specific great principle of our culture should be communicated through suitable stories.

Swami Vivekananda And The Pandemic Panic

Epidemics and pandemics have devastated the human race throughout its existence. From prehistoric times to the present modern-days we have noticed numerous pandemics and medical emergencies. While some even turned as devastating as the fourteenth century ‘’Bubonic plague ’’ which was also known as the Black Death causing millions of human lives and is regarded as one of the most fatal pandemics in human history. Some similar conditions have evolved in the last one year and especially in last month and a two due to the Wuhan originated pandemic COVID-19 as the death toll surpasses three million mark worldwide and the arrival of a new variant or what is regarded as double mutant strain of the coronavirus has just kept the public and the governments on toes throughout the globe. However, while talking about India in particular the vaccination drive has reached close to a century but with alarming hard days, we need something which can strengthen us psychologically and emotionally too. Our search can get a halt when we come across a one hundred twenty one years old ‘Plague Manifesto’ written by the warrior sanyasi Swami Vivekananda during the Bengal Plague in 1898.
