ABSTRACT | ||
From the very beginning of civilization, questions
arose in the minds of humans about the causality of the world. The identity of
mindfulness is the eternal question that arises in the human mind. The theory
and information of attaining the eternal truth, that is, liberation or moksha,
has been established and well-explained through practice and practice in this
great country of India for a long time. By combining the words of the
Upanishads and the ideology of Swami Vivekananda, we realize that when the devotion
of the human mind is awakened, values gradually develop, which helps in achieving the
goal of human evolution. The path of devotion has been recognized by Vedanta
and Swamiji as an easier path than the path of knowledge or the path of action
to practice values and
reach the goal of evolution. Although devotional yoga seems to be relatively
new among philosophical theories, its seeds were found in the Vedas. Synonyms
of the word devotion are- reverence, worship, faith, constant remembrance,
nididhyāsana, saṁrādhana,
meditation, affection, love, service etc. According to Śāṇḍilyasūtra,
regarding the symptom of devotion is– ‘Sā parānuraktirīśvare’.
Such a great man of the nineteenth century was Swami Vivekananda, in whose eyes
and thoughts devotional thoughts were propagated in a new way in the society.
According to him, ‘sincerely seeking God is Bhakti Yoga’. In Vivekananda’s
thought – ‘Bhakti is greatest path among action, knowledge and yoga. The
thought of Bhakti observed in the Śvetāśvataropaniṣad has
become a manifestation of the New Vedanta. The relevance of the devotionalism
was shown by Swamiji in the formation of values in
modern society is the essence of my article, which will be discussed in the
light of the Śvetāśvataropaniṣad. | ||
