" 'Mahavakyas': Are great declarations of the Vedas, the most ancient scriptures of the world. These are numerous and appear throughout the Vedas in different places of the text. However, there are four popularly known 'mahavakyas' culled from four Upanishads, one from each of the four Vedas. Though every 'mahavakya' is complete by itself and has the potential to grant liberation to a deserving aspirant, the essence of the four 'mahavakyas' in sequential order, providing a roadmap for 'sadhana' is as follows: PRAJNANAM BRAHMA: 'Consciousness IS Brahma' (Aitareya Upanishad, Rig Veda) This first 'mahavakya denotes a statement of definition of Truth. It declares that Consciousness, the spiritual core that enlivens each of us, is the same all-pervading Consciousness in all beings and things. TAT TVAM ASI: 'That Thou Art' (Chhandogya Upanishad, Sama Veda) The second 'mahavakya' is a statement of instruction that a 'sadhak' is not a limited personality as he imagines to be but verily the Supreme Brahma. AHAM BRAHMA ASMI: 'I am Brahma' (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Yajur Veda) The third 'mahavakya' is a statement confirming experience of the Truth by the 'sadhak'. AYAM ATMA BRAHMA: 'This Self is Brahma' (Mandukya Upanishad, Atharva Veda) The fourth 'mahavakya' reflects on the 'sadhak' when he establishes himself in his real nature, the Self - omnipresent and eternal." "In Shree Shree Ma's 'sadhana lila' we find all these revelations in the different paths of 'sadhana' that She played, whether in the realm of 'Bhakti', Tantra, Yoga or Gyan* as well as other religions and faiths. All these took place during a period of eight months of Her 'sadhana lila' IN DIFFERENT ASTRAL PLANES during Her stay in Bajitpur, presently located in Bangladesh. Shree Shree Ma's lila of sadhana* is a unique phenomenon that has no parallel. All paths of spiritual endeavor were illuminated and experienced at this time. This lila was undertaken for the benefit of mankind. " (From "Mother Reveals Herself/Enlarged Edition, Appendix IV) Translations below are from the Glossary, page 431: *Bhakti = The yoga of attaining union with God by following the path of devotion. *Tantra = Particular path of 'Sadhana' that emphasizes japa of a mantra and other esoteric practices that relate to the powers latent in the human body in relation to the cosmic power usually thought of as the Divine Feminine. *Yoga or Gyan = Path of knowledge leading to the realization of the Self as taught by the Upanishads *japa = Recitation of mantra or a name of God as received from the Guru at the time if initiation *Lila = Divine Play *Sadhana = Austere endeavor/spiritual practice for the purpose of preparing oneself for Self-realization *Sadhak (a) = An austere practitioner |
| "All creatures are fundamentally one, for the whole universe is a manifestation of the One. A man who hears the word 'Himalaya', without having actually set eyes on the mighty range, will be under the impression that it is but a single mountain, whereas once face to face with the Himalayas, he will realize that they consist of hundreds upon hundreds of peaks, stretching over hundreds of miles, with milliards* of trees, animals, birds, insects, with streams and waterfalls. Similarly, the farther one advances or deeper one penetrates on the path of 'sadhana', the more clearly will be perceived the One revealed in the many and the many in the One. In actual fact we are always with the One, but distracted by the many we forget Him." *Milliard = A British noun - A "Milliard" is equal to a U.S. Billion! |
| The more you praise & celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. Hard work wrinkles out of the mind and spirit. The difference between ordinary and extra ordinary person is that little extra. Be thankful for everything that happens in your life, It's all an experience. Let your unique awesomeness and positive energy inspires confidence in others. Make every day as your Master day. Success is the sum of small efforts repeated in day in and day out. Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share to others. |
The Gods are Personalities or Powers put forth by the Divine—they are therefore in front limited Emanations, although the full Divine is behind each of them. Of course, the gods exist—that is to say, there are Powers that stand above the world and transmit the divine workings. It is the physical mind which believes only in what is physical that denies them. There are also beings of other worlds—gods and Asuras etc. There are Gods everywhere on all the planes. The Gods are in the universal Self—if identified with the universal Self one can feel their presence there. While the Gods cannot be transformed, for they are typal and not evolutionary beings, they can come for conversion—that is to say, to give up their own ideas and outlook on things and conform themselves to the higher Will and supramental Truth of the Divine. The higher beings are not likely to be in disharmony with each other as they are not subject to the lower ignorance. The Gods have their own enjoyments, though they may not be of a material character. There are no planes of manifestation without forms—for with out form creation or manifestation cannot be complete. But the supraphysical planes are not bound to the forms like the physical. The forms there are expressive, not determinative. What is important on the vital plane is the force or feeling and the form expresses it. A vital being has a characteristic form but he can vary it or mask his true form under others. What is primary on the mental plane is the perception, the idea, the mental significance and the form expresses that and these mental forms too can vary—there can be many forms expressing an idea in different ways or on different sides of the idea. Form exists but it is more plastic and variable than in physical nature. As to the Gods, man can build forms which they will accept; but these forms too are inspired into man’s mind from the planes to which the God belongs. All creation has the two sides, the formed and the formless; the Gods too are formless and yet have forms, but a Godhead can take many forms, here Maheshwari, there Pallas Athene. Maheshwari herself has many forms in her lesser manifestations, Durga, Uma, Parvati, Chandi etc. The Gods are not limited to human forms—man also has not always seen them in human forms only. The Gods and the Overmind The natives of the Overmind are Gods. Naturally the Gods rule the cosmos. The Overmind is the world of the Gods and the Gods are not merely Powers, but have Forms also. In the Overmind the Gods are still separated existences. Beyond the Overmind (in the supramental nearest the Overmind for instance) the Gods are eternal in their principle, but not in their forms and separate activities; they are there simply aspects of the One. If you meet a Godhead there, it is not as a separate Person; you feel only the Divine having a particular face, as it were, and relation with you for a certain purpose. The Formateurs of the Overmind have shaped nothing evil—it is the lower forces that receive from the Overmind and distort its forces. Vedic Gods of the Indian Tradition There are many forms of Agni,—the solar fire, the vaidyuta fire and the nether fire are one Trinity—the fivefold fire is part of the Vedic symbolism of sacrifice. Vayu and Indra are cosmic godheads presiding over the action of cosmic principles—they are not the manomaya purusha or pranamaya purusha in each man. You have a mental being or purusha in you and a vital being or purusha, but you cannot say that you are in your mind Indra or in your vital Vayu. The Purusha is an essential being supporting the play of Prakriti—the Godhead (Indra, Vayu) is a dynamic being manifested in Prakriti for the works of the plane to which he belongs. There is an immense difference. Yes, Mitra is rather a combination of the two powers [Mahalakshmi and Mahasaraswati]. I indicate the psychological powers which they [six Vedic Gods] bring with them: Mitra—Harmony. Varuna—Wideness. Aryaman—Power, Tapasya. Brihaspati—Wisdom (Word and Knowledge). Vishnu—Cosmic Consciousness. Vayu—Life. Post-Vedic Gods of the Indian Tradition Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva are only three Powers and Personalities of the One Cosmic Godhead. Brahma is the Power of the Divine that stands behind formation and creation. As for Vishnu being the creator, all the three Gods are often spoken of as creating the universe—even Shiva who is by tradition the Destroyer. There is no particular connection between Shiva and the Over mind—the Overmind is the higher station of all the Gods. Mahashiva means a greater manifestation than that ordinarily worshipped as Shiva—the creative dance of a greater Divine manifesting Power. At X‘s conscientious hesitations between Krishna and Shakti and Shiva I could not help indulging in a smile. If a man is attracted by one form or two forms only of the Divine, it is all right,—but if he is drawn to several at a time he need not torment himself over it. A man of some development has necessarily several sides in his nature and it is quite natural that different aspects should draw or govern different personalities in him—he can very well accept them all and harmonise them in the One Divine and the One Adya Shakti of whom all are the manifestations. Shiva is the Lord of Tapas. The power is the power of Tapas. Krishna as a godhead is the Lord of Ananda, Love and Bhakti; as an incarnation, he manifests the union of wisdom (Jnana) and works and leads the earth-evolution through this towards union with the Divine by Ananda, Love and Bhakti. The Devi is the Divine Shakti—the Consciousness and Power of the Divine, the Mother and Energy of the worlds. All powers are hers. Sometimes Devi-power may mean the power of the universal World-Force; but this is only one side of the Shakti. Mahakali and Kali are not the same, Kali is a lesser form. Mahakali in the higher planes appears usually with the golden colour. Ganesh is the Power that removes obstacles by the force of Knowledge—Kartikeya represents victory over the hostile Powers. Of course the names given are human, but the Gods exist. Ganesh (among other things) is the devata of spiritual Knowledge—so as you are getting this knowledge, you saw yourself in this form, identified with Ganesh. |
| Always chant the name of Thakur (God). From the chanting of the name, devotion, liberation and peace – everything will blossom forth. Be with the name with firm faith, reverence and devotion, leaving aside your pride. You will see that all your work gets done all by itself. As such things happened during the course of play of sadhana of this body, this is being said so emphatically. Don’t keep aside anything to test God. In that case there is no hope of anything happening towards His revelation. Surrender all your belongings to Him. He Himself sustains and is sustaining your burden and the burden of the universe, remember this. |
Worst part is to wake up Each and everyday and face same pain again Keep the same fake smile again For the sake of peace Even though one don’t have it Go through the same path Path full of questions Path full of lies Sleeping in dry pillow Only to make it wet with tears Staying in the darkness As darkness has never judged one For this life has now been a huge scenario For this life tends to be a nightmare full of wolves |
" Today, many will AWAKEN with a fresh sense of INSPIRATION. WHY NOT YOU? Today, many will open their eyes to the BEAUTY that SURROUNDS THEM. WHY NOT YOU? Today, many will CHOOSE to leave the ghost of yesterday behind and SEIZE THE IMMEASURABLY POWER OF TODAY. Why not you? Today, many will BREAK THROUGH the barriers of the past by looking at the BLESSINGS of the PRESENT. WHY NOT YOU? Today, for many the burden of self doubt and insecurity will be lifted by the security and confidence of empowerment. WHY NOT YOU? Today, many will RISE ABOVE their believed limitations and MAKE CONTACT with their powerful INNATE STRENGTH. WHY NOT YOU? Today, many WILL CHOOSE to live in such a manner that they will be a positive ROLE MODEL for their children. WHY NOT YOU? Today, many will choose to FREE THEMSELVES from the personal imprisonment of their bad habits. WHY NOT YOU? Today, many will choose to LIVE FREE of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. WHY NOT YOU? Today, many will find ABUNDANCE IN SIMPLICITY. Why not you? Today, many will be confronted by difficult moral choices and they will CHOOSE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT instead of what is beneficial. Why not you? Today, many will decide to NO LONGER sit back with a victim mentality, but to TAKE CHARGE of their lives and make POSITIVE CHANGES . Why not you? Today, many will take the ACTION NECESSARY to make a difference. Why not you? Today, many will MAKE THE COMMITMENT to be a better mother, father, son, daughter, student, teacher, worker, boss, brother, sister, & so much more. WHY NOT YOU? Today is a new day! Many will seize this day. Many will live it to the fullest. Why not you?” .... - Steve Maraboli |
| In school … of the subjects I tended to avoid , one of them was Geography. I never was fond of it , just managed to get passing grades . I think I was in class 7 , when we read about the Yellowstone National park and it’s geographic importance . This place of natural wonder where u see the earth raging through its numerous geysers , mud volcanoes , hot springs and mysterious sulphuric vapors . The beautiful part is that among the earth here being angry /beautiful there is also a vast expanse of land ..green lush meadows abundant with wild life - bisons , bears , elks , deers and numerous birds . The Yellowstone National Park is a geographic wonder where you get to see Geysers like the Old Faithful erupt about 65 mins apart ( yes it’s precisely timed , hence called Old Faithful ) 30 ft of hot water with sulphuric vapes . If you like me did a couple of days trips within the park .. you would soon get adjusted to those sulphuric vapes, that mysteriously seem everywhere rising up from the earth, as the unruly bison crossing the road or entering the car park ! Careful though as the bison is not nearly as friendly as it might appear in the pics !!! What amazed me the most besides the faithfully erupting Old Faithful Geyser was the colors of the Grand Prismatic Spring , located in the Parks’s Midway Geyser Basin . The Grand Prismatic as you can tell from the name is a feast for the eyes .. third largest hot water spring in the world .. the hot water that emerges through the cracks in the earth is the home of various curiously adapted heat loving bacteria ( thermophile ) that live in each zone . The degree of water makes the bacterial inhabitants change their color so the lake too changes its color from season to season ….I saw it on a cloudy overcast day and was blown away by its colors … the shades of ochre with molten gold and light blue rising among the mysterious sulphuric vapes are what surreal dreams are made of … Perhaps paying attention to geography wasn’t a bad idea after all , as I sadly discovered later through this visit . The weather was quite temperamental as one saw the change of seasons from light rain to hail drizzle , snow flurries to steady snowfall .. then again to see the sun melt away the snowy paths ..all in just couple of days . Nature sure knows how to surprise …and the best part of this trip was .. I was with friends as we hiked , picnic ed … we came back home to our beautiful log cabin nestled among pine trees to lovely teas , warm meals .. lots of laughter , good wine and spirits with banter , music and Dum charades !!! |
