Full Moon and Snow

[Guest guest]

Thanks for mentioning the new moon falling on Christmas Linda. I will

be looking for it. In ancient terminology, the rays of the moon are

considered cooling while the rays of the sun are hot. There is a lot

of Sun and Moon symbols in the Kundalini literature as well. Ida is

the cooling nadi (Moon) and Pingala (Sun) is the heating nadi and

consciousness withdrawing from both and entering the central channel

Sushmuna is said to go beyond heat and cold and the pair of

opposites.

Love to all and happy holidays

Full Moon and Snow

The "moon" to watch for at this time is the new moon which falls on

Xmas day around 12:30 EST. There happens to be an eclipse on this

new moon cycle and it is a few days after the solstice. Taking place

in the Gemini/Sagittarius (sidereal position) axis and following the

energy of the solstice nerves may be frayed, energy low and more than

the usual holiday craziness. It is an important time for meditation

or anything healthy for stress management. The bija mantra for the

moon could be chanted "Om Som Om" or if one knows it the Gayatri

Mantra. This will be an interesting time for all.

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and

subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not

different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of

the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always

Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart

to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the

Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It

Self. Welcome all to a.

The rays of the Sun would be, according to this drawing, Strong

That of the Moon, Beautiful

And that of the central eye, Wise.

May the sun and the moon be new in every moment of these holidays.

Hi Harsha:

Here in the Northeast we should be able to observe the eclipse around

12:30 PM, the next eclipse that can be seen on Christmas will not be

for another 300 years or so.

The waxing and waning cycles of the moon are important in Vedic

thought. The Purusha or cosmic man (part of standard Hindu

philosophy and cosmology deriving from the Sankhya system)is believed

to consist of 16 parts 5 elements (air,earth, etc.), 5 organs of

action (feet, hands, etc.), 5 sense organs (taste, touch, etc.) with

the mind being the 16th through which all the others are correlated.

The waxing and waning cycles of the Moon reflect the Purusha in

manifestation that is, each day of the cycle is responsible for

either the forming or withdrawing of a corresponding element, action

or sense. Prana is also more readily available according to this

movement with the day of the New Moon being a time of low energy, a

day of inner rather than outer action. An interesting side note to

this cycle is the fact that due to the present unrest in the Middle

East the Christmas rituals of the Catholic Church are going to be

very much curtailed this year in the area believed to be the actual

birth place of Christ. Always we are all part of the universal

scheme.

Have a peaceful holiday season.

Love,

Linda
