RE Shiva's wife...

 

When you speak of Tantra in general you have Shiva and Shakti, considered as

husband and wife... but requiring each other as yin and yang. Kali is found

also as Sati and Parvati expressly as Shiva's wife. They say that without Kali

Shiva is shava... a corpse. In the symbolism that has a black 4 armed Kali on

top of a recumbant Shiva, he is the potential for awareness where she is the

actual wild universe itself... and he lies in awe in her presense.

 

So for the most particular answer, go with Sati and/or Parvati as the

conventially recongnized forms of the Goddess as Shiva's wife... but there's a

lot more to it than that...

I am a new member to this group. I have never done shakti sadhana before. I read

in few books that a guru is essential for it. The books ,though they give a

theoretical knowledge about the process ,dont prescribe detailed instructions,

which I think is because it varies from individual to individual.

 

Is there any preliminary sadhana that can be done without the physical presence

of a guru? I will be grateful if anyone can help.

 

Regards

Sumanta

Dear Chiranjeevi

God bless you with a divine eye. The quest of you to know what sadhana, itself

speaks of your SUKHMA ROOPA QUALITY and samskara.

Guru = in other words, literally, a path shower is essential for anything

particularly in respect of Sadhana for divine apprearance. Without Guru a

sadhak will be running after the ways and wastes his time. This is only purely

to know the clear path for a clear result-a guide - a master- in other words - a

guru is needed. There are varieties of gurus in the process of sadhana. Do not

expect guru to sit by your side for all practical purposes though it is some

what needed initially. A guru must be capable of protecting his disciple any

where in any situation. Please give me a detailed mail if you need guidance.

Wishing you all the riches you richly desire and deserve. HARA HARA MAHADEVA

Dear Sir

Reg: SRI ASWAMEDHA YAAGA FOR 8 DAYS FROM 11TH DECEMBER 2005

I wish that all the Members of your Association should lead a happy and

prosperous life with all that they richly desire and deserve. I wish that your

Association should prosper and help the Community in general and the LESS

FORTUNATE in the society in particular.

Today, every news papers contains such a news we remain with grief and sorrow.

Pleasantness of reading the news containing welfare and achievement of people is

gradually reduced to NIL. At this point of time the only and only option left

for us to revive our strength and invoke the blessings of the Lord is –

Aswamedha Yaagam. This is supposed to help establishing RAAMA RAJYA. We also

believe that the Religious ritual is possible only through the Kings for the

main reason they can afford spending huge money for the purpose. Probably due

to the cost involved and ORGANIZATION DIFFICULTY people did not wish to perform

in between. IT IS A LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT for all of us.

We are striving hard DAY AND NIGHT for this for the past few months to make this

MEGA AND LIFE -TIME ACHIEVEMENT a grand success.

THE TIME IS FAST APPROACHING. The GREAT EVENT IS JUST AHEAD OF US.

It is not surely ONE-MAN JOB. This is an activity of all of us. This is for

all of us. Therefore we need your support. The Yaaga is designed into two

parts – spiritual part and COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PART. In the area of COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT PART, cultural activities, granting of scholarships to the poor

students, FREE MEDICAL treatment in the campus of Yaaga, honoring of aged

couples and different personalities in the country who have contributed their

best to the Society etc are contemplated. The Community Development Work during

this period is taken up by AANANDAASHRAM – a registered charitable trust that is

having a facility for exemption of the donations under Section 80(G) of Income

Tax Act.

What we need from you is – making all HINDUS across the globe to know about this

UNUSUAL MEGA EVENT where number of sages from Himalayan ranges are expected. We

are planning for a LAKH OF people to take food in the Yaagam. This will be for

a period of 8 days from 11th December to 18th December.

WE NEED YOUR SUGGESTIONS ALSO TO REFINE THIS PROGRAM & We need your support at

this point of time. KINDLY INFORM YOUR ASSOCIATES/Members ALSO IN THIS REGARD

SIR SO THAT THE EVENT CAN GO WELL COLLECTIVELY. If we do not do this now, what

would be our future and the fate of our next generation? Please assess.

I do not know how a message has to be sent to all our interested persons.

Please guide me so that all files can be attached for further course of action.

Yours truly,

I am sorry but I disagree with this statement or perhaps I might

have misinterprete it wrongly. What do you mean by : "Without Guru a

sadhak will be running after the ways and wastes his time". Would

you be kind enought to explain it to us more.

 

I started off without a physical Guru. Are you suggesting that

period of time [ pre-Guru ] my sadhana is all a waste of time? Isnt

pure devotion , sincerity and pure love for Devi not a prerequites

for Devi's attention? Basically I dont like this term "waste of

time". Nothing especially with regards to our devotion to Devi can

be termed A waste of Time.

Dear Chiranjeevi

God bless you. May Goddess grant you all opportunities to see her and enjoy her

presence every where. The time ahead of you will give you all that you desire

and deserve. I desired to mention that a path shower will reduce many

difficulties which we may come across in our attempts. The destiny and the

easiest way to destiny can be quickly and easily shown by a master than STRAIGHT

IN OUR SEARCH. When we start searching we run here and there and try to locate

the spot to which we should reach. When a path finder is available to us he can

quickly take to the spot. For example in a forest, you desired to visit a

temple and started moving. You will have lot of obstacles and so on since you

alone try to reach the destination. When an experienced is available to you, he

can quickly take you to the goal. In this way when you start moving with great

personalities, they show us the way and HELP US TO REDUCE THE STRAIN AND THE

TIME CONSUMED.

Pl remember WE HAVE A SET TIME AND THE TIME IS MOVING FAST. It is quite

difficult to enlarge the time span alloted to us. Therefore every minute of us

is QUITE VALUABLE AND should give us the plelsantness which we like and make our

life PURPOSEFUL AND SUCCESSFUL. I do not know whether I have used any

UNDESIRABLE WORDS in my past reply. I do not hesitate to correct myself. Your

intention to enjoy the pleasantness itself is half way coverage. Wish you early

coverage of the remaining half the distance. HARA HARA MAHADEVA DR P V SESHA

My apology Dr Seshasai, like i said, the term "waste of time" is

undesirable to ME. As I see it, Nothing is a waste of time. Let me

give you a classical example. I brought a young man[ a foreigner ]

with me once to Singapore because he wanted to find something: a

spare part of his camera. He cant get it in Kuala Lumpur, so I

said : Oh! well since we will be in Johor which is about 30 mins

drive to Singapore, lets go to Singapore for a while. We did, search

the whole of Serangoon Road - to all the Camera shop looking for

this spare part. Eventually one man told this young guy : you can

never get this here because this camera is already out of date. We

do not use it anymore here. So I told the young man : you see there

is nothing wrong with Kuala Lumpur or Singapore, its something wrong

with your Camera. Earlier he made a comment : Kuala Lumpur is lousy,

why! because he cant find the stuff. He made another comment: ah!

such a waste of time. We should have just go to Sri Mariamman Temple

instead of searching for this stupid spare parts.

 

That expression took me by surprise. To me I told him further, its

not a waste of time. I have learn something today and that is : you

can never get that spare part of this sort of camera here in

Singapore or Malaysia. That process of searching too have made me

more aware of camera. I love to take pictures but never bother to

learn anything about additional information. We did eventually went

to Sri Mariamman Temple and indeed I have a wonderful time despite

my legs tired with all the walking, and the thoughts that we have to

rush back to Johor before the last bus. We managed somehow within

that limited time frame to drop by the tourist information counter,

and the people there are so kind enough to tell this young man abt

Singapore. The brochures and little information about us : what you

can get etc. We left Johor the next day, and I saw the whole

brochures and information booklets chuck aside, discarded. Asked :

did you go through them. No! im not interested was the reply.

 

My whole disagreement about this term "waste of time" especially

with regards to Sadhana. To me devotion to Devi can never be

considered a waste of time. yeah! we all wants to get moksa fast.

But another question I like to ask : why the hurry. You mention

about Time frame "WE HAVE A SET TIME AND THE TIME IS MOVING FAST."

My question again, why are we subjecting ourselves in this time

frame. Are we not limiting and restricting ourselves. In our desire

to catch the time, we will fall and make mistakes, thus this whole

issue of falling into the trap of fake Gurus. Dont the term "when

the sadhak/sadhika is ready the guru will comes" apply here?

 

Again the question : Why the hurry? Does our journey ends with

Moksa? Im made to understand that Death is just an illusion. The

disinteragation of the physical form but the soul which is

everlasting lives on.

 

I feel sad when another say "dont bother to read the Lalitha

Sahasranama if you are not initiated. Its a waste of time". How can

anyone do that?
