Shri Krishna - secrets to follow from the exemplar life of God Part-2


It’s very difficult to explore or uncover him fully. The limited intellect of ours can’t handle that Supreme Truth until we are one with him.The more you understand the more is found remaining or left to be known. 

The only hope is that the grace of Shri Radha Krishna guide us through the jungle of our clouded thoughts and mingled emotions and we are able to see our unity with that omni existent bliss.

Every part of Shri Krishna’s life gives us some or the other message, however decoding of the same is left to us. 

Shri Krishna had shared his secrets in Gita and till today more and more explanations are discovered though thousands of explanations of ShriMatBhagwat Gita are already published. 

All stages, like Krishna’s birth in a dark, clouded night with heavy rains and Yamuna overflowing; the ruler of that time - Kansa was eagerly waiting for birth of this eight child of Devki so that he could kill him to be immortal. If we go slightly deeper, we will be able to notice that the enemy and friends, all were eagerly waiting for birth of this eight child of Vasudeva. 

Eight state is Ashtaar and hence this is the realizing of Satchidanand in that darkness of our inner eyes with clouded thoughts and emotional turbulences. The stillness grows and Sakshi Gopal is born.  

  
This child is transported to Gokul and then he grows each day fighting with death. The death created by ego, the Kansa and defeated by life called Krishna. 
   
Krishna grows and so does his plays.  These Leela or plays like Makhan Chori (stealing butter), playing with Gop-Gopis, taking cows for grazing, Vastra chori krida, etc… The list of Krishna leelas goes endless and all these plays of Krishna are demonstrations, are guide for us. These are his grace as JagatGuru - the global teacher. 

The challenge is that we should not pick these by words and fight on their explanations, rather these are to be decoded and learnt from a Guru to bring that Love, Happiness, celebration into our lives. These are messages for us. Each one of his leela has infinite possibilities to decode. 

These methods will increase the quality of life tremendously to the extent of reaching a state called Purnata as explained in Ishavasyopnishad.

Each step of his life is like a guide post for us, for instance Makhan Chori is the art and science to nurture the crystalized self. To understand its required to learn its Tantrik and yogic perspective, Scientific background and then use that methodology or the skill for our spiritual development.

A journey on spiritual path starts when the spirit is born or identified in us. This marks the start of journey on the spiritual path and it’s the Shri Krishna’s birth.

Krishna was born on a divine moment. It was an Ashtami at night 12 o’clock. Ashtami is the auspicious Tith or the date as per Indian Lunar Calendar and it falls at the centre of a 
Paksh (the Lunar fortnight). 

The eight day is at the centre of 15 days Lunar cycle. The second aspect is that Moon remains same on Ashtami of either Krishna or Shukla paksh – waxing and waning cycles of Moon. 

The time of 12 is also at the mid night.
  He was in the Madhya or centre of all duality.

We should not run from duality of our life but accept it and someday Krishna will be born in us. 

To reach that state we have to find our soul first. This is the state of reaching Ksheer Sagar and identifying ‘Narayantatva’ in us.
But to reach soul, we need to find ourselves first. We need to uncover that ‘Nar’ in us. We need to evolve in animal kingdom to reach the best possible creation of nature called Nar.

So, the steps will be finding Nar then traversing from Nar to Narayan; going deep into Narayan’s heart to reach Krishna; then to reach Krishna’s heart Radha. Finally, unifying with infinite of infinites. This is ultimate state.


The question now is - How to find that self? How to be a Nar? Is there any way demonstrated by Shri Krishna with his Leelas to be Nar?

Makhan Leela is divine - be it producing butter, stealing it, eating it or distributing it. All these are part of Shri Krishna’s Makhan Leela. These are the steps for finding that ‘Nar’.

This is one of the important step to start our journey on the path to spirituality.

Similarly, Gopi Vastra Chori is a divine leela. When we are about to face Mahamaya – the illusion, this leela prepares one to not to get bound by any of the internal limiters like Shame, etc. as these are illusions and are the ways to limit us on the path of spirituality.

Shri Krishna Leela’s are so close to our lives that generally we are not able to understand them like the way we are not able to see things that are very close to our eyes. This results that we are not able to adopt these leelas in our life for our spiritual development.

All these Leelas needs to be dwelled deep to understand their significance in our lives and then these needs to be practiced to reach the ultimate goal of our life while enjoying the illusion called this world. 

We plan to take one leela at a time and understand its science and then its method to practice and experience it for oneself.

Mahakaal : Secerts of Panchakshri sadhana - Part I

Social unrest is growing day by day with stress levels going up. Humans are tending away from humane. Crime, terrorism is uprooting the value system. The stress levels are so high that we have started losing sight of health, family and our value systems. In such a dark age, this world could be a better place only if each one of us recovers from such mental state. So, the questions that comes in mind is that what could we do to remain free from stress? Or what could be done that it doesn’t eat us up? Its stress only that causes lot of health problems like B.P., diabetes, psycho issues, etc. So, the question that we need to answer to our self is:- Do we wish to be free from stress? Do we need to enhance health and manage our B.P.? Do we wish to be finding solutions to our problems of day to day life? Is there any simple way we could improve our relationship? What could be done to get health, wealth and a quality life? The answer to all these questions lies i...

Mysteries of Shri Krishna's flute

Image
Recently few friends called up and discussed on few aspects of Krishna's flute. I was glad that at least these articles were able to raise inquisitiveness in few minds. These questions are very pertinent and are opportunity for me to explore more, share more…. I have experienced that there is no replacement of Guru but such articles or thoughts could create a desire to know and learn these hidden treasures of our life. Few of such minds are so determined that they are able to surrender in the holy feet of Guru and experience these levels, these dimensions of life. let me share the questions that were posed:- What does a flute signify to an ordinary human? Could Krishna's flute be compared with an ordinary flute? What is in the flute for me? How could I use this science to benefit myself and others? If flute is so important why did Krishna left it in Vrindavan and moved on in life? Why did Krishna never played music on any other flute after leaving ...

Shri Ganapati - Secrets of inner celebrations on the path of spirituality Part-4

Image
A story goes for Siddharth leaving every worldly item one after the other as a penance. It was an attempt to tap into the true self. It was an attempt to uncover the true immortal self. In this path of leaving all worldly possessions, he reaches a state when he had left everything and nothing was left with him for leaving.  In those moments of realization, he leaves that ‘leaver’ inside him, the leaver which was leaving all worldly possessions. The moment he leaves the leaver, he becomes one with the self.  This was a play of ‘ego’ and he continued leaving all its holdings till the time ego only remained. This entire path or this arduous penance was nothing but a play of ego.  It was that false self or ego of Siddharth that was keeping him busy in a play of knowing the possessions and then leaving it. The actual transformation occurred the day he left his ego and he realized that Budh. Now, check this story again and you will find that it...

Rudraksh – mystical seed holding secrets of Shiv upasana. Part 3

Image
The Shiva Mahapurana, Vidyesvara-samhita, chapter 25 shlokas 89 and 90 highlights that Shiv himself explains the greatness of the Bhasma and Rudraksha to Devi Parvati. Shivasyatipriyau gyeyau bhasmaRudrakshaadharinau | Taddhamaprabhavaddhi bhuktirmuktirna samshaya || 89 || The person who wears bhasma and Rudraksha are very dear to Lord Shiv, they get all their desires fulfilled and gets liberated. BhasmaRudrakshaadhari yah shivabhaktah sa uchyate | Panchaksharam japasaktah paripurnashcha sanmukhe || 90 || There is no doubt that wearing bhasma (sacred ash), Rudraksha and Panchakshri delivers liberation! My friends you would have noticed with keen observation - Panchakshri identifies with the creation process and is then followed with Bhasma. Bhasma is the residue and it is remains after the merging or burning of all the elements back into their source. This way Panchakshri and Bhasma completes the creation and destruction process and hence the cycle complet...

Secret Of Nine forms of Durga

Image
My father was a highly learned person with Master degree in four streams. He was very soft at heart but had keen eye for small-small things in our life. I never saw him giving up in his life. He was always ready to go out of the way to help others. He never had accepted any negativity though had faced challenging situations which were difficult and were life threatening. I was with my father those days at my grand pa’s place in Meerut. It was month of april and temperatures were high.  Navratri celebrations were going on. During one of those days, in the evening we had a guest, he was my father’s friend and he knew that I have interest in spirituality. He also knew that I practice yog, mantra and other divine sciences. We all were sitting together and during lighter discussions on tea, he was arguing that there is no significance of these nine days. He expressed his surprise that how come this type of nine day celebration came into existence? He wa...
