11 - Swadharma: The Path to Creativity and Contentment | Swami Tattwamayananda
Chapter 2 Verses 41 - 44
The lecture was given by Swami Tattwamayananda on April 19, 2019.
- Swadharma harmonizes the secular and the spiritual. We are able to do even our secular duties in a spiritual way.
- Swadharma is the creative utilization of human energy resources.
- Swadharma saves us from the tyranny of ultra-pragmatism.
- It guards us against our natural obsession with short-term goals.
- Verses 42 - 44 refer to the distorted views of the Purva-Mimamsakas who insist on the Kamya- karmas and the injunctions for the performance of Vedic rituals while denying their spiritual character. They reject the ultimate spiritual goal of human life.
-A brief description of the Vedic injunctions: 'apurva-vidhi', 'niyama-vidhi', and 'parisamkhya-vidhi'
