our most beloved member collin has raised a question of great

relevance on the worship of the divine mother?

 

can the divine mother be realized by 'bhakti' or devotion alone?

 

or 'scholarship' or jnana the path to to attain the abode of the

divine mother?

 

it is said bhakti without jnana is blind; jnana without bhakti is

lame....

 

members, this is a very 'interesting' thread of discussion which our

member collin has initiated...

 

please join in and shae your views...

 

the more, the merrier!

 

love and only love

let me add to that post....

 

our beloved ramakrishna paramahamsa was a bhakta externally but

internally he was a jnani (not a scholar who reads books but a

realized soul)

 

and adi shankara was externally a jnani (realized soul) and

internally a bhakta (who did manasika puja )

 

then we have ofcourse shri ramana maharishi who was all this and much

more...... a jnana, a bhakta and all1

 

when shri ramana maharishi attained samadhi, they found a gold sree

chakra in his loin cloth...

 

so, members please put your thinking caps on and particpate and of

course i expect our bodhiavasa to lead the discussion! we expects

generous input from babaji, harshanand, yogaji, devi bhakta, nora,

collin, prainbow, eve, and everyone else. if i did not mention anyone

else's name, please forgive me!all are invited to participate! come

on guys, let us make this a lively sankirtan.... .

 

jai gurudeva !
