[SS] Kali Yuga- Devotion the most popular but least understood !!!

[Guest guest]

Dear Lili,

 

You declared ;

 

I see the signs everywhere. This is why I encourage people

to get right with God through devotion, not through

long drawn-out circuitous methods.

 

Pleaes allow me to share :

 

The Devi Khadgala Mala , Sri Vidya and other worship are not long drawn -out

circuitous methods they are the very thing that create the devotion you claim .

The western concept of devotion is about only about the FEELING love and it

stops there but in Hinduism bhakthi yoga has it's own scripture like Narada

Bakthi Sutra ,Sandilya sutra and so forth to show the methodological step to

achive them . In BG ,Krishna said offer anything with devotion and He would

accept it . But he did not say anything is devotion. Even devotion has various

steps to achieve them ( please read text like Srimad Bhavagavatham)Then again

there is para and apara bhakthi as well ....

 

The popular notion today is to say I have devotion and love for God and that is

it . But only bonafide master ( guru) from proper parampara ( lineage of

spiritual teaching) can guide the practioner in the ocean of multituides of

spritual practices.Just look at Ramakrishna though he talked about Supreme

devotion how many orthodox guru he learnt from ,yet somebody just read the

english version of the Gospel ( which reduce and sensored the actual bengal copy

written by M) an says the feeling I love God suffice ............ This what I

call book-knowledge .....

 

Please dont assume merely saying I have devotion is devotion. In western culture

I love you is the word the child saying before kissing the mom on the cheek

while going to school . In eastern culture the word I love you takes a lot of

courage and commitment before it is said and that is also not done frequently

because the word has such a high connotation.

 

Everything has an intricate approach in any religious system not only hinduism

and only devoted would spent time practicing circuitous methods and the more we

practice the more our yearning for Her develop. So we actually dont find it

circuitous but on contrary it is adventurous !!!

It is not long ardous activity for the lover who waits for his lover to use the

road he is waiting, it actually creates more yearning in his heart.Sri Vidya

upasana and others methodlogical approach are such and people who have no

yearning for God would not even touch them..........fror them it is mystical and

symbolical only !

 

Kudos!!!, to SS moderators for sharing Devi Khadgamala and Swami Amritaji for

sharing what we are learning ,truly the years to come we would find hard to find

such a commitment share this paractices to new members as shown here ...........

 

And as for those who are thinking bhakthi is just devotion to God as I

understand it ,well Hindusim offers what experience bhaktas like Narada and

Sandilya says about this.

 

Just like what they say repharaphrased here -if you dont like then leave but try

first before you judge ................

 

Jai Maa!!

I have done a great deal of meditation on the topic,

and i think that perhaps at one time Kali Yugas may

have taken this long, but now, with our speeded up

sense of time, I believe that Kali Yuga has progressed

to the point that it will be much much shorter now.

Maybe when we were all animals and plants it would

take 432,000 years. Now, I am personally convinced we

can expect the Ghora (Fearsome) Yuga in about 10

years. The tenth(?) Avatar of Vishnu, Nishkalanka or

Kalki, the White Horse Avatar, is in the offing. I see

the signs everywhere. This is why I encourage people

to get right with God through devotion, not through

long drawn-out circuitous methods. God is never so

accessible at any other time as He/She is during Kali

Yuga.
