Pages in category "Upasana-kanda - Devotional Service to God"
The following 25 pages are in this category, out of 25 total.
I
- I (Kasyapa Muni) offer my obeisances unto You (the Supreme Personality of Godhead), whose heart and soul are the three Vedic rituals (karma-kanda, jnana-kanda and upasana-kanda) and who expand these rituals in the form of sacrifice
- In the beginning, the Vedic purpose is pursued in three ways (trayi) - by karma-kanda, jnana-kanda and upasana-kanda. When one reaches the complete, perfect stage of upasana-kanda, one comes to worship Narayana, or Lord Visnu
- In the karma-kanda, there is competition to reach heavenly planets for better sense gratification, and there is similar competition in the jnana-kanda and the upasana-kanda
- In the Vedas there are three kandas, or divisions: karma-kanda, jnana-kanda and upasana-kanda
- In three departments of human knowledge disseminated by the Vedas, namely fruitive work (karma-kanda), transcendental knowledge (jnana-kanda), and devotional service (upasana-kanda), Devarsi Narada inherited from his father Brahma
- It (Srimad-Bhagavatam) is even higher than the karma-kanda division, and even higher than the upasana-kanda division, because it recommends the worship of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krsna
S
- Sacrifices contained in the ritualistic portions of this literature (karma-kanda, jnana-kanda and upasana-kanda) are meant for the satisfaction of the Supreme Lord, Visnu
- Srila Vyasadeva had written the karma-kanda and jnana-kanda sections of the Vedas, but he had not written about upasana-kanda, or bhakti. Thus his spiritual master, Narada, chastised him
- Srimad-Bhagavatam gives information about the Absolute Truth in His personal feature. It is even higher than the jnana-kanda, karma-kanda and upasana-kanda, because it recommends the worship of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krsna
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is above all of these (karma-kanda, jnana-kanda and upasana-kanda) because it aims only at the Supreme Truth, the substance or root of all categories
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is also greater than the karma-kanda and upasana-kanda portions as well because it recommends the worship of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna, the divine son of Vasudeva
- Srimad-Bhagavatam is given higher status than the jnana-kanda portions of the Vedas. Srimad-Bhagavatam is also greater than the karma-kanda and upasana-kanda portions as well
- Srimad-Bhagavatam replies that in actuality all of these methods (karma-kanda, jnana-kanda and upasana-kanda) defined in the Vedic literature indicate the worship of the Supreme Lord, Visnu
T
- The first division (the karma-kanda) recommends fruitive activities by which people can advance to higher planets. Above this is the upasana-kanda, which recommends worship of the various demigods for the purpose of attaining their planets
- The karma-kanda portion stresses the execution of fruitive activities. But ultimately it is advised that one abandon both karma-kanda and jnana-kanda (speculative knowledge) and accept only upasana-kanda, or bhakti-kanda
- The Srimad-Bhagavatam is superior to all of these (the karma-kanda, jnana-kanda and upasana-kanda divisions of the Vedas) because it aims at the Supreme Truth which is the substance or the root of all categories
- The Vedas are composed of karma-kanda, jnana-kanda and upasana-kanda
- The Vedas are divided into three divisions - karma-kanda, jnana-kanda and upasana-kanda. These are activities dealing with fruitive work, empiric philosophical speculation and worship
- The Vedas deal with three departments of activities. Upasana-kanda, or worship of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and sometimes of the demigods also
- There are two processes by which to get free from material bondage. One involves jnana-kanda and karma-kanda, and the other involves upasana-kanda
- They (karma-kanda, jnana-kanda and upasana-kanda) are all indirect ways of worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- This department of knowledge (spiritual knowledge of transcendence) is called jnana-kanda, and above this there is the upasana-kanda. The culmination of upasana-kanda is the devotional service of the Lord Visnu
