Shakti Sadhana
Whatever
exists in this world (animate as well as inanimate) is the manifestation of Shakti
(Eternal Power). At some places it appears as dormant inactivity while at
others it is seen as awakened activity. All the forms of life have originated
from it. It is this consciousness that is seen in all the fauna and flora. It
is this energy that is responsible for all the action, growth and expansion in
this world. The whole cosmos is the play of Shakti.
The
play of this Shakti in human life is deeply mysterious. The awakening and
strengthening of the three layers of our body physical, subtle and causal; and
the five koshas (shells) Like an Onion
layers, annamaya, pranmaya, manomaya, vigyanmaya and anandmaya generate
different types of currents of Shakti. The awakening of different subtle
chakras muladhar, swadhisthan, Manipur, anahat, vishuddhi, ajóa and sahastrar -
is done for unraveling the mysterious world of this Mahashakti. In fact
kundalini maha shakti is the base of human life itself. Mother Goddess Aadi
Shakti Herself energizes the awakened kundalini and enables a sadhak to achieve
the highest goal of life.
People,
who remain ignorant of this mysterious play of Shakti, are akin to a fish that
is thirsty in the vast sea. Those, who strive to delve deep in this mystery and
undertake appropriate Sadhana, achieve the honor of being called the children
of Adyashakti. They become full of spiritual power. Nothing is impossible for
them to achieve and accomplish.
The
supreme knowledge of this Shakti sadhana, capable of transforming the
impossible into the possible, is hidden in the twenty-four letters of Gayatri
Mahamantra. Advanced
Sadhaks
realize this truth. From this point of view, the nine days of Navaratri are
very significant and auspicious for Gayatri Sadhana. Those Sadhaks who
undertake the Sadhana of Gayatri Mahashakti, will become dynamos of uplifting
spiritual energy which will be a boon for themselves as well as the society.
Let all parijans engage themselves in intensive Gayatri Sadhana during the
coming Navratri Parva.
A
few week back, I was reading the ST “Looking
for God in The Lab”
Yes
you can see the God. Not in Science Lab but in your body Lab.
Well,
let us try to understand it. As we all might know, our life has two faces. One
is the external, which is most familiar to us. The holes in our ears open
externally; our eyes also open up externally and keep watching what is
happening in the outside world. We can see the things outside but we don’t even
get a glimpse of what is there inside us. Is there nothing? No! The real
substance, the essence is all inside us. They might be manifested externally
but the basic elements of life lie deep within.
It
is not outside; it is inside…. And what about the intellect through which we
earn wealth and gain respect? That also is not external, but, an internal
potential. We don’t see introvert and often keep wondering why God has
befuddled mankind by giving us instruments of perception of the external things
and events but no fine-tuned instrument of knowledge of the inner world. We
never notice the immense treasure of talents, virtues and divinity, hidden
inside our own self. What is easily seen by us is – my child, my material
property, my this, my that, and what not! But we can’t see our future; The
Omnipresent God and our souls are also far beyond our perception. What to say
about the inner world, we can’t even see many components of our own body. We
can’t look at our own eyes. If we just try to see (without a mirror) how is our
nose, how are our eyebrows? How do our eyelids look like? If we can’t even see
these gross external parts of the body, how will we see what is inside? When we
peep into our inner world and attempt to know it, we perform some kind of
dhyana. In fact, dhayana yoga is the best method of seeing inside (God).
As
you cannot see your image (Reflection) on the surface of the sea, but can see
the image (Reflection) on the surface of the pond, because the surface of pond
is stable, whereas the surface of the sea is in turbulence. To make your mind surface stable the thought
waves are to be made at rest. Then close your eyes and (Invert your eyes) start
seeing inside. You will be able to see the past and future to beyond your life.
The
two are not really different. Enlightened evolution of the inner self is God.
Our ultimate spiritual evolution is – shivoaham, sachidanandoaham, tatvamasi,
ayamatmabrahm, pragyanambrahm. These five great maxims of Vedanta affirm that
the soul, in its absolutely pure form, itself is God. Take the example of coal
and diamond. Except for a minor difference in the atomic structure, the two are
quite the same. Diamond is thus a refined form of coal. The soul and God are
also basically the same except for the fact that the former is expressed within
a limited identity (confined to the individual self) whereas the latter is
unbounded, infinite. One is manifested in a tiny domain, while the other is
gigantic, unlimited…. One is bounded by the thraldoms of maya, while the other
is absolutely free. This is the only difference between us and The Divine. This
difference is there because of the mist of ignorance covering up the resplendence
of our inner self that keeps us cut off from our eternal origin. If we refine
and illumine ourselves (by the purifying radiance of virtues and righteous
knowledge) we can attain our soul-reality and also God-awareness. This is why
(during the Dhyana Yoga) we meditate upon light; focus our attention upon the
inner self, upon the sublime roots of our being and its ultimate goal….
Technology of Spirituality- Our Rishi Muni
knew all this and were able to become limitless, who could see and with this
power visit wherever they wanted, any planet they desire. So they knew Ten
Thousands year back that Earth is Round and is not static, it is moving that is
why we call Geography of Earth as Bhugole, Bhu mean Earth (Prithavi), Gole mean
(round). And Jagat {which has a Gati (speed)}. Now we know the Earth is
moving.
The planet Mars is red, so the Hanuman was
decorated with Sindur and Tuesday (Mangal) was the day made for worshiping
Hanuman.
