Shri Ganapati – Secrets of inner celebrations on the path of spirituality Part-8


In this story, Ganapati demonstrated the right way to be successful. We are always surrounded with problems and to handle these we should first know the problem in our life; then the first step is to accept it fully. If you can’t run fast accept that you can’t run fast. Second step is to connect with the intellect and solution to the problem will surface. Let the acts be guided by this inner wisdom. This brings the positivity while executing and hence produces positive impacts on surroundings, creating a clear natural success.


There are two ways of living – flowing with the current, it’s accepting life and then flowing in bliss or focusing on once duties - Kartavya. The other way is to fight and flow against the current, this is so tiring that we lose most of our energy in this fight itself, in trying to overcome this natural flow. Even if we accomplish something in this situation, it will not be natural and hence will not last long. 

The first or the acceptance route is transformative. The moment one accepts a situation, a person or whatever he accepts he transcends that and he is no more bounded with that item. Let’s say if you are not accepting any situation, you will fight to change it as per your desire but the moment you accept it, you are already out of its trap and now you could do your as per your choice. In both these situations you could act in the same way as per your choice but the basis being different their outputs will also be different. So Ganapati brings changes at the level of Quality of life.

Ganapati is Karmkhand of Shakti and Gyankhand of Shiv. He is body from Devi and head from Shiv. It’s the best approach in life. 

Think and use wisdom to understand and connect with the truth. Be connected with the Turth and remain still in the Budhi. This principle is demonstrated and explained by Shri Krishna in Gita when he explains Stith Pragya state.

Now, lets look at a person who is still, his energy will take its course and body will act according to the energy flow. All this will be action and no reaction. These actions will spontaneous and will not be creating any Karm bandhan as there is no doer. Since there is no Karta or ‘doer’ in this case and hence it becomes Nishkaam Karm of Gita.

The body has its intelligence and it acts with energy flow; it has its awareness of doing but no head to guide it. It has Shakti to do, so keep doing. This is karmkhand of our existence. All our vital functions of digestion, breathing, circulation, excretion are done on their own as per this principle. We could interfere and disturb their natural rhythm. Therefore, bring the entire work to the body while keeping the head fully still in the holy feet of Shri Guru. This applies even to thinking or decision making. Everything for this life could be managed by the body intelligence.

This perfect stillness in head connects it with everything in the universe at wave level. It brings immense intelligence to be able to understand, act and respond in the way Niyati desires.

This brings Shubta, happiness in our life. It brings smile on our long faces. This smile creates a positive energy in us and sparks off some positive reactions in body. Every part of our body when operating in this motivating positive energy, produces positive outputs. 

The situation that was negative for us gets transformed into a positive situation. 

Ganapati is the lord of transformation. He transformed and then became the basis for letting any transformation happen. The rule for transformation has following key factors – 

1.  Unconditional full acceptance - Sarv Sweekar, 

2.  Sthir Budhi or Still in intellect, and

3.  Directing energy with smile - enjoying this play or happening.
There are ways for each of these – Sarv sweekar could mean an acceptance as a dead person or Sarv Sweekar as a living person with full awareness. A yogi achieves it in Samadhi.
Sthir Budhi could be like Stith Pragya or it could be like non responding stillness of Budhi.

 


Smiling is possible where only lips smile but for the complete transformation a deeper smile is required, where each pore - Rom Kup of our body smiles. This is possible only if the smile travel down to Karm khand and reaches Heart. The heart radiates it to the whole of our existence. 

Once the smile radiates and reaches entire body, our entire existence starts smiling. The path to spirituality starts showing up. The inner torch is lighted and we could then move on this path.
Therefore, Ganapati’s two virtues of full acceptance with stillness in Gyankhand, and smile as a mark of celebration for our being; transforms energy in entire body from negative to positive.
Ganapati is one of the main deity in Shri Vidya. Let’s explore this new dimension.

Devi Kali is the Goddess of darkness and all negativity ends and starts from her. Devi Sundari is the Goddess of Love and light. She is the hope, she is the life, she is the positivity. Ganapati helps in transforming negative into positive and thereby bringing us into the field of Shri Vidya. He brings us into the life. He connects us with life force and starts a toroid of positive energy generation in whole body with a smile. 


So, it’s important now to understand that how should be our smile?
Smile, the way Gods and Goddesses are seen in idols. Smit hasya is the smile. It has happiness inside and a smile on lips and eyes radiating from the heart.

What could be the way to smile?

Watch or listen something that bring smile on your face.

One could even use scientific method of Amygdala Clicking to bring smile on your face. 

You could watch some one smiling and start smiling back.

What is the next step once we are smiling?

Go deeper - smile from lips, eyes and then from heart. Let the heart smile and radiate this smile to entire body.

How to smile at the heart?

Bow the head slightly as if looking at the heart with smiling eyes. Be grateful for whatever heart is doing entire life by pumping to ensure life goes on; then smile with gratitude at heart. The heart will get connected and in turn will smile. It will start radiating this smile to all the parts of body. 
 So that all body parts and then each pore - Rom Kup of body will be happy and smiling. 

Be in the middle of all the smile, completely still, accepting whatever it may be, just keep smiling. This is Ganapati Pujan. All the rituals could then follow.

Try doing this once and then go for your rituals, believe me you will be astonished on your first experience itself. Its Ganapati, who transforms all our negativities to bring us back into Love and Light with lots of positive energy. Wish you a Happy Ganapati Mahotsav. 

Celebrate, enjoy, Smile and spread smile on every face. 
Do Ganapati pujan…..

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

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...
