Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 i asked you a serious question and you gave me a joking answer. i'm sure you think it's very funny. are you the same person from another who made fun of me when i posed the same question in the past? next time i think you ask people question, people should give you joking answer too. , "kochu1tz" <kochu1tz> wrote: > Just hold out your hand and see and feel and smell the money.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Dear Chumki: I was being extremely serious. Way back in 1997-98 period i had a specific need and I was part of a worldwide group of "just good" people (not that i count myself eligible to join them) who were from diverse backgrounds. all sorts of spirituality - a veritable kichadi. I happened to mention this dream desire and this was what one of them told me; and I tell you it worked too. (here I must mention that every one- virtually every one - in the group prayed or did whatever for me according to their faith - without any wish for anything in return. I feel that we must have a system that personal requirements should be posted here and we must all try to help whoever is in need - in our own little ways. If it works once it would be great. And every time we do it - our Karma burden will be reduced to that little extent. Care to go for it?

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 The answer was given in all seriousness and sincerity. If you expected long mantras and involved convoluted ritual, then thats what is wrong. Its all out there to be plucked and simplicity is the key. However your words "when i posed the same question in the past?" raises questions. 1. Either YOU are the one who was joking as you seem to be in the habit of asking these questions. So is there real need? If not the Universe will not answer your prayer. Or 2. it can be that you are one of the few people who are ever in need. If it is the first, then you can take the answer as a joke. If it is the Second, then I would seriously urge you to try it. Whatever the case my sympathies are with you. pbfsg <pbfsg wrote: i asked you a serious question and you gave me a joking answer. i'm sure you think it's very funny. are you the same person from another who made fun of me when i posed the same question in the past? next time i think you ask people question, people should give you joking answer too. , "kochu1tz" <kochu1tz> wrote: > Just hold out your hand and see and feel and smell the money.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 pbfsg (and Chumki as well!): I do not think that this was a joke at all; techniques to manifest consciously whatever I want is a great interest of mine. Sometimes the results have been short of miraculous, and I will frankly admit that a few times these techniques did not work as expected... and I am on a continuous learning curve as to learn what works and what does not. Now read that statement again - " see and feel and smell" ; sight, sound, smell and feeling are key components for manifesting any intention; if you cannot " see and feel and smell " the outcome and BELIEVE that it has happened/will happen, then most probably it will not happen (there is some extensive theory as to why this is so..). So pbfsg, kochuji was being dead serious and he means well.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 menon(if that is your name), first of all i am not looking for long mantras and complicated rituals. who would want to do these if they are in need? would you? of course i am looking for a simple and fast acting mantra. if you can't provide me any then so be it. it's ok. i just want to make it clear that i don't have the habit of asking these questions and i am not joking. i am dead serious. do i sound like i am joking? what's there to joke in the first place? i think you must be joking for saying that i may be joking. and i don't need sympathy from anyone including you. if what he really mean it about smelling, feeling and seeing the money, then i am sorry for my remarks about him. the reason why i think he is joking is because another member said he can't stop laughing reading his message. , sankara menon <kochu1tz> wrote: > The answer was given in all seriousness and sincerity.

I know you are the moderator and mean well, but having a system of posting personal requirements in THIS group may be against the objective of this group.... Having said that, I must say that I think it is a nice thought. Karma burden will be reduced? I don't think so... unless the karma is burnt away yourself or by your Satguru, Karma is never reduced, just 'deferred' for a later time by giving immediate relief nor now..... Again, I have to add a caveat here... Wonderful synergies amongst like-minded people MAY (just may) be able to reduce the karma burden after all. BUT, it is possible that Karma burden of the 'helper/transmitter' may be reduced by doing the seva. The receiver of the seva has a slim chance of reducing his karma. Care to go for it? No. I am skeptical of finding a synergy like that in an online group, but I am willing to hear opposing arguments with the possibility of being convinced. Jai Ma!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Let me tell you I have walked in the "Vally of Shadow of death" and a few members of this group walked the walk with me. they gave me strength and I cam out of the shadow. Also Devi also gave me her blessings or rather Devi blessed me with real strong and good friends. It took nearly THREE years of constant fight for justice. So I know what it is. The fastest acting mantra is a mantra without words. Thats what i gave you. I do not sympathise with others because I am incapable of it. Sympathy assumes a position from where you can look down and feel pity. I am not higher than you so I cannot do that. I only empathise. Someone laughed? Did I? Its upto what that someone understood. It was misunderstanding as you misunerstood. Please try it is all I can say.Do not waste time. pbfsg <pbfsg wrote: menon(if that is your name), first of all i am not looking for long mantras and complicated rituals. who would want to do these if they are in need? would you? of course i am looking for a simple and fast acting mantra. if you can't provide me any then so be it. it's ok. i just want to make it clear that i don't have the habit of asking these questions and i am not joking. i am dead serious. do i sound like i am joking? what's there to joke in the first place? i think you must be joking for saying that i may be joking. and i don't need sympathy from anyone including you. if what he really mean it about smelling, feeling and seeing the money, then i am sorry for my remarks about him. the reason why i think he is joking is because another member said he can't stop laughing reading his message. , sankara menon <kochu1tz> wrote: > The answer was given in all seriousness and sincerity.

I know you are the moderator and mean well, but having a system of posting personal requirements in THIS group may be against the objective of this group.... Having said that, I must say that I think it is a nice thought. (WHAT IS THIS GROUP? A GROUP OF PEOPLE GROPING TOWARDS HER. HOW TO GO FORWARD IS THE QUESTION. TO GO FORWARD THE KARMA BURDEN SHOULD BE REDUCED. WE JUST DO NOT SHIFT KARMA OF THE PERSON IN NEED. WE BURN THEM OFF. IN BURNING ANOTHER'S KARMA WITHOUT ANY MOTIVE, OURS ALSO CONSEQUENTLY GET REDUCED. IT IS AN UNINTENDED BONUS. THE INTENTION IS TO NURALISE THE KARMA OF THE NEEDY. IT DOES WORK. AND SO IT IS NOT AGAINST THE OBJECTIVE OF THE GROUP. I AM REMINDED OF A GREAT VERSE OF SHANKARA "BHAJA GOVINDAM BHAJA GOVINDAM BHAJA GOVINDAM MOODHAMATE!! SAMPRAAPTHE SANNIHITE KAALE NAHI NAHI RAKSHATI DUKRINJ KARNE". WHAT SHANKARA SAYS IS IN SHORT DO SAHANA; GREAT DISCUSSIONS ON THE PHILOSOPHY WILL NOT HELP YOU IN THE LAST DAYS BUT SADHANA WILL. OUR AIM IS TO PROVIDE TOOLS OF SADHANA AND I BELIEVE THAT HELPING ANOTHER IN NEED IS SADHANA OF THE HIGHEST ORDER. IF WE CAN USE THIS FORUM TO DO IT I THINK WE HAVE DONE OUR PART. (MY SUGGESTION WAS WITHOUT REFERENCE TO OTHER MODERATORS. HOPE THEY WILL NOT BANG ME FOR THIS *SMILE*) Karma burden will be reduced? I don't think so... unless the karma is burnt away yourself or by your Satguru, Karma is never reduced, just 'deferred' for a later time by giving immediate relief nor now..... Again, I have to add a caveat here... Wonderful synergies amongst like-minded people MAY (just may) be able to reduce the karma burden after all. HOW IS KARMA BURNT AWAY? IS IT THAT THE LOGS OF KARMA CAN BE BURNT BY ONESELF OR BY SATGURU "ALONE"? I DO NOT THINK SO. ANYONE CAN HELP. LOOK AT THE STORY OF JATA BHARATA. WHO WERE HIS "SAD GURUS" tHE VARIOUS ANIMALS AND INSECTS; A PROSTITUTE; A MURDERER ETC. THE LIST IS BIG. EACH LESSON LEARNT IS KARMA REDUCED TO THAT EXTENT. AND AS A SRIVIDYA UPASAKA I AM OF OPINION (FOR WHATEVER IT IS WORTH) THATANYONE CAN PUT HIS SMALL EMBER INTO THE CUMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL THAT IS KARMA. HE WHO PUTS AN EMBER INTO ANOTHER'S KARMA WITHOUT ANY MOTIVE - GOOD OR BAD - PUTS ONE AUTOMATICALLY PUTS ONE INTO ONE'S OWN KARMA BHANDARA. ASK AMMA SHE WILL TELL YOU *SMILE* BUT, it is possible that Karma burden of the 'helper/transmitter' may be reduced by doing the seva. The receiver of the seva has a slim chance of reducing his karma. SEE MY COMMENTS ABOVE. Care to go for it? I AM GOING FOR IT. *SMILE*. LET THE LEARNED ONES MAKE THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS. I AM WAITING HUMBLY. No. I am skeptical of finding a synergy like that in an online group, but I am willing to hear opposing arguments with the possibility of being convinced.

Hello Manoj, I am surprised you say this considering how our Ammachi emphasizes a lot on selfless service; is not written somewhere in the Awaken Children series that selfless service leads to karma reduction for the ONE WHO DOES THE SERVICE. For the recipient, agreed that it is probably a postponement of karma - but sometimes when circumstances become overwhelming, some deferment of karma helps does it not? And remember the Amma parable of the two men stranded on the island ...- the moral of that is that sometimes our prayers are answered because someone else was praying for us; so it behooves on us to return favours that we have received unasked for and unconditionally given, so others may benefit likewise. The whole concept of karma is a complicated thing - it seems that a lot of our karma in this life are borne by our parents, siblings, spouse etc; of course Satguru's grace is the biggie.

Don't be suprised, and don't mis-understand. I like to do seva, so that should put my point thru. BUT, all I was responding to was Kochu's original point of "reducing karmic burden". Where I said that the reduction is only for the helper, and mostly it is only deferment for the helpee! With that said, and with parties entering into the bond with open eyes and understanding of the same, I have no problems... I only felt "duty- bound" to highlight the subtlety of the point. > The whole concept of karma is a complicated thing - it seems that a > lot of our karma in this life are borne by our parents, siblings, > spouse etc; of course Satguru's grace is the biggie. True, Karma is complicated, and also true that fellow travellers in this lifetime (parents etc) help burn a lot of them away, but the quality of the 'burning' depends upon my maturity... If I have not understood the lesson inherent in the situation, i am a stting duck for the next such situation life throws my way. AND THAT UNDERSTANDING, only the Satguru / GRACE can give me. which is why I say only the Satguru (or you may read it as "Grace") can burn away my karmas. To sum it up, 1. I am not against helping fellow travellers 2. I do WANT to help fellow travellers 3. I am only unsure of the quality of my (Manoj Menon's) help in eliminating (vs postponing, of which I am very confident) the poor fellow's karma 4. I want the poor guy to be aware of what he is getting into, if he decides to take the help. > > Jai Maa! > > -yogaman Jai Ma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Dear Kochu! Sounds good that all people will sincerely pray for another. Karma or no Karma that itself will make Amma so happy. Who has time in this day and age for another? Yet there are a few whose whole life is a consecration for others. Put an M before Other and it becomes Mother. I would love to see this happen here in this group and help in whatever way I know.I know that sincere prayer with creative visualisation like you suggested will create Miracles. I have not tried for money but I know it can be done. Ashoka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Pranam. I think this is a good idea. Prayer does work, esp group prayer. It is easy, takes just a few minutes and costs nothing. In return, we help a fellow human being, please Ambika to no end and make a slight sent on our mountain of karma. By coming together in this group, we are now related to one another(as in a family)As the verse goes, Ishwari is our Mother, Ishwara is our Father and Shiva(& also Shakthi) bhakthas are our family. Also, thanx to the member who inadvertantly introduced this topic. Your problem has served to teach us. I have prayed for you. May Devi provide for you. With love Shankaree Let my every word be a prayer to Thee, Every movement of my hands a ritual gesture to Thee, Every step I take a circumambulation of Thy image, Every morsel I eat a rite of sacrifice to Thee, Every time I lay down a prostration at Thy feet; Every act of personal pleasure and all else that I do, Let it all be a form of worshiping Thee." >From Verse 27 of Shri Aadi Shankara's Saundaryalahari ALL-NEW Messenger - sooooo many all-new ways to express yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 "Can anyone help me? I need to have $8000 on Monday (19/7/04) to settle credit card bills and also other sum of money to settle other financial needs quickly. Is there any mantra or other way I can get the money I want in such a short period of time????" I have been off for several days for some family commitment, couldn't help but to read this particular message. My first impression is: a joke. A real joke and like a mockery to our Mantra Sastra. Last night, the first night in the Month of Adi my daughter dance before Durga in Nageshwari temple. It takes her few weeks to prepare. She young and have been complaining that her leg hurts, but she really want to dance, to go up there on the stage. We sit down and talk. Told her that if that is what she wants, she need to work. The pain and the stress of rehearsal is part and parcel of the whole process. To me this is one way to instill the sense of responsibility, especially to a child to make them understand, if this is what you want, you have to work for it. And by Gosh she did it. She dance beautifully [from my viewpoint, the parent], not perfect though, miss some steps but that look in her face. Such happiness I have never seen before. I think the same goes for everything especially with regards to Sadhana and upasana: it's like the pain in the beginning and then ecstasy. If we want something, we have to work for it. Things do not come easily unless you are meant to be. Back to this credit card thingy! The credit cards are amazing stuff eh! Yes! We are given the credit card supposedly to make our life easier, but it is still our responsibility to know our limitations. If we cannot understand that, then no point in running to DEVI and ask her to perform miracles. We have to suffer for our own consequences. We are responsible for our own action. We are given the brain to think and rationalize. From my believe, DEVI helps people who help themselves. Asking for mantras for a solution to me is not an answer but I see it as a mockery. We have a lot of people who comes here: I want to get married, give me mantra. I want a mantra to be successful in life, please give me mantra. Yes! There is a lot of mantra for a lot of things. Mantra before going to sleep, Mantra before going out of our home even Mantra before we make love. But again, its good I guess to have people to come here and ask all these. Its just perhaps an opening to another "tool", maybe that person was joking but that's Devi's way of getting things done. That is why she is called the "who one likes to play" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 isn't karma burden can be reduced from sri vidya. on the shaktisadhana website bhandasura nath has written that worshippers of srividya are free from the bondage of karma. isn't one can burn sprouted karma more rapidly and also disable the rest karma to tak full shape by following spiritual path like srividya. just a thought. jatin --- manoj_menon <ammasmon wrote: > , sankara menon > <kochu1tz> > wrote: > > > > Dear Chumki: > > I feel that we must have a system that personal > requirements > should be posted here and we must all try to help > whoever is in > need - in our own little ways.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 I did not say that the karma reduction is for srividya upasakas. I was talking of people who have not had full deeksha into the system. If they have, there is no karma attached to him at any time thereafter. Srividya upasakas not being bound by laws of Karma, can take away the karma of others and burn it off. The only condition is that they should be REAL upasakas who have and is doing their sadhana in strict conformity with the requirements. Not an easy task. d not Jatin Prakash <jatinprakash wrote: isn't karma burden can be reduced from sri vidya. on the shaktisadhana website bhandasura nath has written that worshippers of srividya are free from the bondage of karma. isn't one can burn sprouted karma more rapidly and also disable the rest karma to tak full shape by following spiritual path like srividya. just a thought. jatin --- manoj_menon <ammasmon wrote: > , sankara menon > <kochu1tz> > wrote: > > > > Dear Chumki: > > I feel that we must have a system that personal > requirements > should be posted here and we must all try to help > whoever is in > need - in our own little ways.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Hello: My intellectual discussion on a specific point of karma, which I took off this original request for help, seems to be ill-timed. This poor person really neeeds help, and I took the discussion to another track. While that track is valid (in my view), the timing was bad. I apologize for that. Sir, I pray that a mircale happens and that you are relieved off the immediate trouble you are in, and that you will never have to go through this again. May Lalita-amba (Playful Mother) grace you with blessings to 'play you out' of this situation! (this is a sincere prayer where I have used the figure of speech called 'pun' to please the Divine Mother; no offence meant to anybody). Jai Ma!
