Celebrations......

Janamashtmi- A festival of celebrations

Hare rama hare rama, rama rama hare hare.
Hare krishna hare krishna, krishna krishna hare hare

He was dancing like flowing in some emotions. smile on the lips, simplicity in eyes, very flexible body movements as if he is physical manifestation of these lovely lines....

Hare rama hare rama, rama rama hare hare.
Hare krishma hare krishna, krishna krishna hare hare
This mantra is so powerful that even holding back is not possible and I was also feeling to standup and join the dance but some internal pull, hesitation, shame.....don't know what but some thing was holding me back. 

Am sure, if you also sing these lines, you will also feel like letting all the holding go loose....accept the inner voice and its plan.....just let the inner energy vibration....come on the body and let body follow these inner flows.....like the way he was dancing or flowing with his energy...

It's so divine. Eveything related to Krishna is so Lovely and miraculous... he is celebration itself... My mind was overworking, but suddenly seen into the eyes of Radha's idol. Her eyes were sparkling with some play-plan..
I was now wondering that now he was flowing effortlessly with this divine mantra as if he is not there but in the morning he was teaching me on the intricacies of Krishna upasana.

It so happened that in the morning, we were sitting in a room along with few guests and had some queries to which he was responding, sharing about Krishna, Janmashtami, Radha....
He was sharing that Krishna is arrival of spiritualilty in myself. Kansa is my driver in this materialistic world but there comes a time when nature allows its doors for universal grace to flow spontaneously into our existance. This universal grace is Krishna and it needs to be immediatley moved from its birth place else is absorbed in the head itself. Kansa tries to be ever vigilant to save him. If he losses a moment to Krishna, he dies and this precisely happens on Janmashtami - the real me finishes false me or my ego.


Krishna is the centre of Akarshan (attraction) and we have only one part inside our body that attracts us most and that pulls our focus. Its an attention seeker, and is like a child. Do you know which part I am referring to?
yes, its Agya Chakra or third eye - I replied.

Absolutely. Agya Chakra pulls our attention and we could simply notice this as it keeps weaving dreams, thoughts and doesn't leave any iota of second without pulling attention towards itself.

This attraction seeker point pulls everythig towards itself and hence is the centre of attraction. In this centre of Akarshan (attraction), we find Krishna as the basis of this attraction.
In these rare moments of Janmashtami, the universal violet energy etners crown spiraling to reach Devki situated below hypothalamus in the brain. Its here that this universal energy is processed into a human format and Agya chakra releases it on Janmashtami.

I was curious but it was not very clear to me hence commented...... OK, but tell me what is the significance of Janmashtami?

Well! you know existance is a harmony in opposites. This harmony brings a state of dynamic balance of opposite forces. This state of balance is like a point in the state of transition. The point that could move either side of the transition. This state remains for a shortest time and in that particular fraction of time a natural grace connect with the God - the universal energy - Shri Narayan.

Could you explain it a bit more to make it more clear?, I asked.





Janmashtami as the word suggests is related to Ashtami. Ashtami is the eigth state of Moon in Lunar transition. Ashtami is so very important as it is the balanced state,almost central to the fifteen days lunar cycle. Another important aspect of Ashtami is that lunar proportions are same for Ashtami in both the Paksh - Shukla & Krishna. Its a unique state and in full harmony across various Lunar tithis and paksh (waxing and waning cycles).

so, Janmashtami is in a perfect lunar balance, I said.
Hold on, there is more to come. Janmashtami is much more auspicious. You know, it falls in Bhadrapad month of Indian calendar. It's the sixth month in twelve month cycle of Solar system.

Now, consider rotation of earth that forms day and night. Krishna's birth time is at 12, just at the turning moment between day and night time.

so, be it Sun, Moon or Earth....Janmashtami signifies the harmony point during transition.

There is another important dimension, Vedas have spoken about Nitya Sandhyas. The fifth and the most critical sandhya is the time for incarnation - Krishna avtaar. 

So, Krishna comes in a harmony of infinite pairs of possible opposites. There is a Maa (mother) to facing all pain to give him birth and there is a MaMa (maternal uncle) ready to immediately kill him.

Janmashtami is very divine, its the time of spontaneous birth of our spirituality and hence these moments of self delivery at Agya is very critical. This discussion of ours continued over an hour and we learnt technical aspects as he kept on sharing those small -small details of how we could learn this art of knowing about this Janam in us and then use Vasudev to flow this child from Agya to other centres of existance so that it could grow and guide entire existance. 

This art cannot be explained in words alone, its to be felt, its to be experienced and I am glad that I could learn these techniques to experience. Its catching the very fine graceful universal moment for us. This calls for a timely preparedness and hence for that we should understand these nitigritties from Shri Guru...... 

Wishing a Happy Krishna Janmashtami.... an event of celebration, enjoyment and happiness.....

Krishna is soul of all the souls and hence Celebrate arrival of your own spirituality, eternity, divinity. 

He was in front of me and still flowing in the dance with bhajan mantra going on....

Hare rama hare rama, rama rama hare hare.
Hare krishna hare krishna, krishna krishna hare hare

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

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...

A feeling of satisfaction was reflecting in our eyes. It was a feeling of accomplishing, getting something that we were looking for all these years. The car was progressing smoothly as road was not rough. Both the sides of the road were sorrounded by greenery and scenic beauty. We haven't closed the car windows to feel the place. The cool air rushing in from the windows was smelling pleasant. Aayush, my son closed his window after sometime as the air was becoming cooler.  Aishwaryaa wanted to sit on the window and had no other option as Aayush closed window on his side, so she moved to my side to sit besides window.
