The prophecies (divine revelations) covered in this website categorized under Sūktimāḻā are the words of the Supreme Lord in their original, unaltered and uncorrupted form extracted from sources accessible to us.
The teachings in the content presented in this website is not different from the teachings of various scriptures already accessible to the public at large – may it be the Śrīmad Bhāgvad Gitā, the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, the Vedas, the Upaniṣads, the Pūraṇas or the Samhitās, the Buddhist Tripiṭaka or the Jain Agamas, the Guru Granth Sāhib, the Holy Quran or the Holy Bible, or divine revelations given by Great Saints, Mahāpuruṣas (Prophets) and Sadgurus (Teachers) in various geographies, in various time periods – they all teach the same thing – how to discover the true self.
In the divine revelations mentioned under Sūktimāḻā, one can draw parallels to existing scriptures or teachings. Often, we have noticed, the names, categorizations or methodology of explanation of a certain concept may have been done differently, but nevertheless refer to the same Tattva (Fundamental Principle of Reality). The Truth is but only One.
The contents of this website have been divided into six different categories. Below are the details about each section and the contents covered by each.
Stutimāḻā: Stuti means Song of Praise. Stutimāḻā is a collection of devotional songs about the glory of the Lord, composed by various Kavis (Poets) and Mahāpurusas (Prophets).
Purpose: Stutis are often personified and filled with symbolic references and help invoke attributes of Bhāva (Emotion), Bhakti (Devotion) and Prema (Love) to align into oneness of thought.
Source: Stutis are collected from available literature and compositions – both old and new, from across languages and regions from around the world.
Sūktimāḻā: Sūkti means Ornamented Speech. Sūktimāḻā is a collection of divine revelations by the Supreme Lord, usually through a Mahāpuruṣa (prophet) or a divine instrument.
Purpose: Sūktis ingrain deep symbolism and are mostly in the form of poetry, incorporating poetic metre and crypt. Sūktis cover a large body of knowledge about creation, spiritualism, science, yoga and the way of living.
Source: Contents of Sūktimāḻā are extracted from scriptures accessible to us, and presented in their original uncorrupted form of revelation along with inline translations and summarisation. While translation may lead to some loss of content, care is administered to ensure minimal loss.
Kathāmāḻā: (coming soon) Kathā means Story. Kathāmāḻā is a collection of stories taken from various scriptures, and lives of Mahāpuruṣas.
Purpose: Like the Stutis and Sūktis, Kathās too ingrain deep symbolism and interpretations can vary from person to person. Kathās by use of examples, not only impart knowledge but also provide answers regarding various socio-cultural aspects, thereby defining a practical way of living.
Source: Kathās are extracted from various recordings of stories or revelations by Mahāpuruṣas. In Kathāmāḻā, stories are covered from various scriptures, primarily the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (Bhāgvad Mahāpūraṇa).
Citramāḻā: Citra means Picture. Citramāḻā is a collection of pictures, photos, videos and representative drawings.
Purpose: Citras are filled with symbolism, and often are a byproduct of imagination. Since it is sometimes difficult to visualize a form of the Supreme Lord, a picture helps in personifying the form for better understanding.
Source: Citras are extracted or recreated from study of various scriptures. Among others, Citramāḻā covers explanations about various aspects of Tattva including Tantra, Mantra, Yantra, Yoga and Japa.
Anubhūtimāḻā: Anubhūti means Experience. Anubhūtimāḻā is a collection of spiritual experience of devotees from around the world.
Purpose: Anubhūtis are experience pieces submitted by various readers of the website. The experience of different individuals differ from one another depending upon their subscribed or evolved philosophy. However, while they may have embarked upon varied paths and undertaken different journeys, they all lead to the same destination.
Source: Anubhūtimāḻā is a reflection of experiences submitted by individuals from around the world, and may not necessarily reflect Hari Parivār’s philosophy of complete surrender in Bhāva (Emotion), Bhakti (Devotion) and Prema (Love).
Praśnamāḻā: (coming soon) Praśna means Question. Praśnamāḻā is a collection of spiritual questions asked by various readers of this website, and their answers.
Purpose: Praśnas are submitted by readers catering to various aspects of spirituality. Sometimes the answer to one’s question could be realized from questions posed by others.
Source: Sometimes, answers to the Praśnas are extracted from Sūktis (Divine Revelations) or Kathās (Stories) from the enormous body of revelations accessible to us. Praśnamāḻā, thus, is a two way communication with members of the Hari Parivār.
