Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Hello everyone, Again checking in from the web without benefit of spell checking. I don't have access to my personal e-mail by the way - only the group posts some of which I scan. Based on what I have read recently, I would like to say that: It is the experience of Yogis and Sages that the Supereme Shakti, known by many names such as Divine Mother, Universal Goddess, Maya and Yogamaya is the Energy, Beauty, Movement, and Grace of Consicousness. It Is She, who takes on the form of the Goddess or one's Ishta Devata, whether it is Krishna or Christ, or another and appears before the devotee as a mirror of innocence, purity, and beauty. When the Shakti manifests as the look, touch, silence, and words of the True Guru, the devotee intuitively knows the meaning of complete surrender. This is the Grace that takes the mind, supermind, and all aspects of the devotee's individual existence to their source. The Shakti Reveals Her Self to be the Heart, The Self, It Self. The Movement of the Energy of Consciousness Reveals It Self to be Non- Movement of Consciousness. Just Pure Consciousness, The Self-Knowing. Here the difference between Saguna and Nirguna Brahman vanishes. This is why the Buddhists say the Form is Formless or that Emptiness is Form. Eric, are you aware that Swami Muktananda visited Sri Ramana. His visit was no different than that of thousands of yogis and swamis who wished to be in the presence of the Sage of Arunachala. Where did I hear that Swami Nityananda, the Guru of Swami Muktananda also visited Sri Ramana? Is it true and does anyone know? Swami Nityananda initiated many people in his life time by his presence and look and touch in addition to Swami Muktananda. He was a great example of a modern Avadhuta and was saturated with Shakti. His love and generosity for the devotees was overwhelming although silence and a few utterances was his mode of communication. Swami Nityananda was well known in India in the Shakti tradition and my teacher spoke highly of him. Love to all Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste Harsha et al, Exactly! Saguna doesn't exist really it is the association or combination of jivas, there is only Nirguna. As is demonstrated by pralaya.........ONS.......Tony.
