That is for sure! It really helps to break through limitations, mental fixations, emotional blocks, and reintegrate the being. Amma also advises crying directly to and for Divine Source, and many of her bhajans model this.

I say YES to life and thus support, revere and strenghten and raise it!! Because that Allpower which carries up life and the whole universe demands that we shall have no other Gods than those, who support this power. It is to this power we shall sacrifice, if we want to find the true happiness of life and if we want to bring the development further to higher cosmic goals in the sign of free creation!!!

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Well, you see, there is that "semantics" business popping up again!It is said that we are all female in relation to God, since it is the Divine that penetrates and pervades us, and we who are receptive to the Divine dynamic, and not the other way around.The reality of Shakti is that it has an activating and a stabilizing aspect, or "Solve et Coagula" nature, thus the phallic Feminine is also part of the term "God". I generally use the term "God" as a catch-all term for the Divine to help keep my e-mails shorter.

Amma also advises crying directly to and for Divine Source, and many of her bhajans model this. Radha Shivananda mentions this tendency too; one will notice many Hindu devotional songs resemble the rise and fall of a baby's crying. I assume this resemblance is deliberate, sounding a call to God in the powerful and compelling manner of an infant crying for its mother, but done in an artistic and subliminal fashion. Once again, brilliant! Lilith M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 >From the tgheory of Srividya, as understood by me, there is no dissolution after death for an upasaka who has at least one deciple. The last rituals of a srividya upasaka clearly indicates that he goes to a special world that is for the Gurus called Guru Mandala. And there he remains manifesting as and when necessary. It almost sounds like eternal life. Can any knowledgable source explain? Satish - maybe????????????? NMadasamy <nmadasamy wrote: NMadasamy wrote: No lars it is not funny, but a logical one. You are still young and you still a lot more to contribute to society, so why should you forgo all of them. Society and the world needs somebody like Lars. A responsible and committed young man. Why should he renounce all of these. He will definitely one day when he have done what there is to be done and eventually dissapper, and let the younger blood to take over his role. Isnt that what life is all about and a logical cycle? sorry just come out from my head.... cant help it, or I will not be able to sleep later on. I just thought Lars will come and say : I do not want to dissapper. Hmmmm unless of course if Lars has become an immortal, then he would not disappear. Remember the series The Highlander. He is an Immortal. I remember during my nursing days, there are stories of devoted nurses who have died but are still seen around in the hospital environment. There is a popular belief that these nurses have made a vow and that they have chosen to remain on earth to continue to be of service to humanity. And you can always see these good souls around in time of need. I read once a story in a nursing journal of how they saw a "nurse" sitting by a child's bedside praying. A senior nurse saw it from the next room, immediately went over to the child, they discovered the child is having high fever. These are not isolated cases. My own personal experiences are numerous. So perhaps Lars is right. Why should he want to dissolve in the infinite or disappear, if he can still contribute for the good of humanity?
