The Pandit who could not swim

[Guest guest]

Dear Nora:

your post just came as I was finishing writing a post.

I think it is apropriate to add it here as a reply. I

am like the passenger who did not know shastra but

knpws how to swim and I am keen on teaching others how

to swim. I do not belittle tyhe need to know the

shastras and other related topics. what I am saying is

that all that knowledge will come to you as you

progress in Sadhana. Sideby side with such studies

practice is also called for.

 

(I am NOT belittling anyone or saying anything is

smaller or greater)

 

I am giving below the post I was writing:

 

Hi all:

For those who want to start shakthi sadhana of lalita,

they have to prepare themselves first.

The easiest method prescribed to manifest the Guru who

will take you in hand and lead you is the

sahasraakshari Khadga Mala.

I am giving below that. recite it daily and it will

manifest the guru that will guide you.

It contains the names of all the devis in the sri

yantra. Just reciting them shall fulfill all your

desires whether spiritual or material.

But also remember that Kala(time) and Karma(action)

has to coinside then the results will come forth.

if you are running a bad time, it will lessen its

impact, if it is a good time the results will follow

in a flash

LOVE

Kochu

 

Om Asya Sri Suddha Sakti málá mahá mantrasya

Upasthendriya adhisthayi Varunaditya Rishih

Daivi Gayatri Chandah

Satvika Kakára bhattaraka pithasthita

Sri mat Kámesveranka nilaiaya

Sri mat Kámesvari devatá

Aim Bijam, Klim Saktihi, Souh kilakam

Sri Devi prityarthe Khadga siddthyarthe jape viniyogah

 

Of this, Devi's sword, the Seer is the Sun rising from

the ocean; the ocean being the Divine Mother; Gayatri

is the meter; passionate Kameshwari, sitting on the

lap of joyous Kameswara is the deity; Aim is the seed;

Klim is the power; Souh is the pivot; it is purpose is

for worship of the Divine Mother. This worship of the

Divine Mother (of Kameshwari ) which is the ocean's

embrace with the Sun, gives the devotee a Sword, a

power supreme, that Heavens of the remotest galaxies.

When the devotee thinks of such a sword, he or her

become the protector and enjoyer of eighteen lands of

jewels ( Sakti peetams ), and five continents.

Dhyanam

Tadrisam Khadgamapnoti Yena hasta sthitena vai

Astadasa Mahadvipa Samrad bhokta bhavisyati

Hrimkaarasana Garbhitanala Sikham

Souh Klim kalam bibhratim dhautam trinetrojvalaam

 

I meditate on Sri Devi glowing with red, yellow, and

blue flames of passion fanning the erotic sentiment of

Kameshwara, in the meddle of a triangle called Hrim,

whose three points are the light of Hari, Hara

Virinchi, the three gurus; Sri Devi is wearing the

full moon on her crown ( Souh ), Her body is full of

desire for union ( Klim ) with Kameshwara, the

controller of lust;

 

Vande pustaka pasam ankusadharam Sragbhusitam ujvalam

Tvam Gourim Tripuram Paratparakalam Sri Cakra

Sancarinim

She is wearing a sari made of golden threads; She is

fair as nectarine milk and the moonlight; She has

three eyes; in Her four hands she is wearing a book of

knowledge, a noose, a goad, and a garland of letters;

She is a personification of all that is beautiful,

aesthetic, harmonious, joyful, vibrant; she moves in

Sri Chakra, a mandala consisting of all the deities

worshipping their consorts named here after.

 

Om Aim Hrim Srim Aim Klim Souh

om (in the name of God), may you grant us benediction

of knowledge, power and grace; and the power over

creation, nourishment and destruction.

Vanakkam Kochu-ji

 

Thank you for your introduction into Lalitha Sadhana.

 

Please dont get me wrong. The post :The Pandit who could not swim, is

not meant to target anyone. I was reading the book entittled :

Ramakrishna tells stories, a compilation of stories as told by

Ramakrishan, complied by a friend of mine, and I just love this one.

We can learn a lot from just a simple story like this. Maybe next

time Ill post on The Hitopadesha. They have valuable ancient classic

story that we all can learn.

 

I remember in the old club somebody asked the difference between

Knowledge and Information.

 

In my opinon,. Information without understanding remains just an

information. Knowledge are information with an understanding.

Knowledge if use for the good of humanity is Divine. Knowledge use to

hurl insult, belittle and humuliate others are evil. Knowledge is

power if one knows how to use it appropriately.

 

OM ParaShaktiye Namaha

Dear Nora:

I did not get offended. i DO NOT get offended at

anything other than an insult to my country and my

religion. What i meant was an honest self assesment.

The story struck a cord in me and hence my

statement. I also sent a mail saying I am not doing it

to hurt any one. Please never assume I am offended at

anything. I am not. Whatever vagdevi tells me I write.

That is all. similerly I will NEVER write anything

disparging about any one, if such a meaning creeps

into my posting I would request that it be ignored and

just take the litteral meaning, which alone is

intended.

I will never speak with a hidden meaning. I will

never criticize any one. OK? *smile* and *HUGS* to all

my friends.

hi kochu, thanks for the beautiful sree lalita stotra...

 

for those of us who are brought up on shri ramakrisha , every word

from him is like a 'scriptural' injunction... in fact, shri

ramakrishna had very little formal education but because he was such

a genuine devotee of kalli maa, he became proficient in all

scriptures and all darshanas... the goddess of learning resided on

his tongue. so, we do not know what comes first? whether knowledhe

comes after realization or realization comes after knowledge!!! but

the only real knowledge is the 'knowledge of the self' and if one

does not realize the self , all other knowledge are uselss. at best,

they are ornaments...

 

it is our own 'insecurities' that makes us project our ideas on

others; there are no insults and no belittling espeacially in this

forum. of all the forums i belong to, this is one of the best...

there is a feeling of warmth and love here and acceptance. i do not

feel any insults or injury--- of course we have differences of

opinion and we have different viewpoints but at the end of the day,

we are a happpy family!!! how can it be otherwise where Devi is in

charge ? of course, from time to tim, she will 'bust' our egos and

that is needed to keep us on track!!!!

 

since a gibran marathon is goin on, let me share with you what our

beloved lebanese poet says on 'KNOWELEDGE'

 

And a man said, Speak to us of Self-Knowledge.

And he answered saying:

Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.

But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge. You

would know in words that which you have always known in thought. You

would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.

 

And it is well you should. The hidden well-spring of your soul must

rise and run murmuring to the sea; and the treasure of your infinite

depths would be revealed to your eyes. But let there be no scales to

weigh your unknown treasure; and seek not the depths of your

knowledge with staff or sounding line. For self is a sea boundless

and measureless. Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I

have found a truth." Say not, "I have found the path of the soul."

Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path." For the soul

walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it

grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless

petals.

 

**********************************************************************

SO, REMEMBER- KOCHU...

 

you are ok; i am ok

we are all ok !!

 

SELF-ACCEPTANCE IS IMPORTANT BEFORE OTHERS CAN ACCEPT YOU!!!

 

love
