Swami BG Narasingha: Writings

Sastra-ninda - Rejecting the Sastra

The sastra and the Bhagavata in particular is full of descriptions of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His pure devotees. The guru and the sadhu, who are also known as the devotee Bhagavata, lead their lives strictly in accordance with the book Bhagavata.

Katha Kali and Sacred Dance

As far as historical records show, dance in India has always been associated with spirituality and the pulsating rhythm of cosmic life. Indians have always held dance as sacred and have practiced it as a means of entering into divine consciousness. Shiva, a principal demigod in Indian religious tradition, is the saint of the sacred dance.

Guruvayur

Guruvayur is a holy city where people come to make spiritual advancement. In fact, the atmosphere of devotion which pervades Guruvayur is so sublime and charming that one easily experiences transcendence when visiting this holy place. Appropriately so, Guruvayur is known as Bhuloka Vaikuntha: "where heaven meets Earth."
