The Pancharatra literature is a genre of sacred Vedic texts that has been very scarcely read (or understood!) by the vast majority of even serious followers of Sanatana Dharma. Traditionally consisting of 108 different texts, one of the more important of the esoteric Pancharatra works is known as the Parama-Samhita. In this remarkable livestream discourse, Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya will share with us and comment upon only a few of the gem-like verses from this ancient text, dealing specifically with the three modes of worshiping the Supreme Lord Sri Vishnu.
“Liberation is unparallelled happiness; without sorrow, without end. Therefore, for gaining liberation worship Vasudeva. Do so without indifference, without desire for prosperity, and whole heartedly. There are three modes of worshipping Him; by deeds, by words and by thought.” (Parama-Samhita Pancharatra, 3.22-23)
“These three modes of worship result in greater and greater good, respectively. Offering healing oils, flowers and things accepted by the good as being pure, and with authorised mantras is described as sacrifice by deed (karma yagna). Being pure and becoming calm, as well as the recitation of prayers and mantras with devotion constitute sacrifice by word.” (Parama-Samhita Pancharatra, 3.24-26)
“Offering up the essence of one’s very self, and worship offered according to prescription of the Shastras by exclusively mental means is declared to be worship by the mind O Brahma! Each of these is regarded as of three kinds of worship according to the power it calls forth.” (Parama-Samhita Pancharatra, 3.27)
