See any ladies out there. Dosent matter who they are. They are the manifestation of the Goddess herself. For all you know that awful, smelly and stinky looking physically disable lady or man who comes knocking at your door begging for Food, is Devi herself in one of her many disguise. Hope not too Late : Happy New Year everybody. Every year will always be a good and happy one, if we learn to see the goodness in it all.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Thank you very much for your reply. I have no second thought to accept living mother as goddess, but I am confused a bit to accept wife as living goddess. Though both of them are women and representation of goddess, you are well aware both of them enjoy different status. I would never feel wrong to raise my hands and offer salute to my mother which I would never do it to wife and I never saw anyone doing so. I shall be thankful if you could explain how wife can be comparable as goddess and if so, then what would happen to relationship between husband and wife? I don't believe anyone would ever want God / Goddess as his/her husband / wife. WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2006. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All women are the manifestation of Devi. Im being taught, All women are Shakti and All men are Shiva. We had this discussion before about Wife as a Devi when somebody send me an offline message calling me an idiotic person for saying those. hey! its not my statement. Its a message from my guru to be delivered to a person concern. He is kind enough to allow me to quote it in the group so that others may learn from it too. And do you know what, this is what comes back to me: "Nora I like to thank your guru. Now when I see my wife as the Devi, We quarrel less often. 90% drop in our quarrel" The discussion is somewhere out there in the message board. Perhaps another discussion which may be of interest to you is : on Kumari Pooja. Perhaps somebody would be kind enough to direct our member here the whereabout of this discussion. I know it can get really messy and confuse when you try to go through them all. What ive been doing for the past few days when im back home [offline], is to edit all the daily message and compile all these discussion into respective topics. This will subsequently goes to the homepage. I'm suppose to put them there before the new year as promise, but time is not on my side. I will try to work on it as soon as possible.

I only have mother and I always give equal respect to her as Goddess and there is no confusion in it. I am not married, hence I am not in a position to comment about how to view wife as mistress or Goddess. (Again even mistress is a child of GOD). But I too read in some internet postings saying that there is only one Universal mother and remaining all are shivas and shaktis who are creation of universal mother. It is universal mother who created shiva and shakti, who in turn created more shivas and shaktis and so on. It even probably go to the extent to overrule the definition of family structure, because in this path there is no place for definition of brother and sister. Whatever may be the fact, we have to accept the fact that everyone is child of GOD and family definition is only social discipline and nothing to do with GOD. Everyone is answerable individually for their KARMA (not with anyone from family) to GOD at the end of life. I thank once again Nora and Felicia for providing nice feed back. I want one advise from you that today I am having direct relationship with living mother, I can see her, sit next to her and she feeds me with varieties of food and always wish best things to happen to me in life. I am receiving her direct services in every part of life. In the same manner I wish to develop direct relationship with Goddess same as I enjoy direct relationship with living mother without any communicaton gap between us. I am not satisfied with mere bhavana (feeling) of existence/manifestation of Goddess. Can someone please advise me how to achieve this kind of strong relationship with Goddess same as with living mother? Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is your service to the Universal mother. Ask for no pay. Nothing in return. Do with devotion. Everything you do is for her. Every step is for her.

Now you must be careful of which site you are reading. There are many path in Hinduism and each have its own theories. You have come to us and you ask, and we responded as we see it. So my stand is that, you cannot take 100% whatever you read in the internet. Eventually you go back to your guidance. Your teacher, your guru or whatever. Please remember that you are in a Shakta group. Shakta Tantrics to be precise. So you or many others may not agree with our views neither do we go around to other group like an evangelical missionaries criticising other practices. We do not claim our path to be THE ONLY path to DEVI. You wrote again : Whatever may be the fact, we have to accept the fact that everyone is child of GOD and family definition is only social discipline and nothing to do with GOD. Everyone is answerable individually for their KARMA (not with anyone from family) to GOD at the end of life. I disagree with this statement. Why do we use this family definition? Because it's something we can related to. Where our mind can understand better. If you try to explain all those without the family definition people will not understand. That is why its often say : you eventually internalize all these. The same with images. We use images as the basic foundation, eventually as you mature spiritually, image does not mean anything to you, because DEVI is Brahman is formless. This child and mother relationship is one of the most simplest and the easiest. Why? because its easy for us to relate to. It is also the first step in this devotional path. A child will remain a child. A separate entity with the mother. The main purpose of our sadhana is to merge with the divine and be one with HER and thereafter we become her. We transcend to become Lalitha or Durga or Kali etc. We stop becoming this child but we are the GODDESS herself. As long as you are a child, you remain a child. Your statement about mother nourishing a child is yes! practical but only at this child and mother relationship. A child must grow. Choosing not to grow is the same as refusing to change, which eventually will lead to own death. Someone did come here once and say : I do not want to merge with DEVI. I want to be at her lotus feet all the time, enjoying the bliss presence of DEVI. My only remark will be : You are like an undergraduate student, who chooses not to graduate. While others [your peers] graduate, specialise in their field of choice and able to contribute and make a different to humanity, you remain stuck. I like to share a conversation I had long time ago with one of our senior member[ P1 is one of our senior member.] Nora: you agree when I say the mother and child it the simpliest and perhaps the first step into any devotion towards DEVI. And we change this mode accordingly to our spiritual progress ? P1 : Yes, thats why we call her MAA. As you advance she becomes the child and you the father/mother (Bala); then she becomes lover (panchadashi) and then she becomes the eternal maiden (Shodashi). It is only at the panchadashi mode sex has any role Nora: So only when you have spiritually advance, she becomes the lover but more symbolic in nature. You approach her sexually ? P1: Of course symbolic. Actually at that stage for some sadhaks there is sexual approach. Nora : So how does this becomes a lover fits in. P1: Because when you really love, both are one Nora: Now the whole thing make sense to me. Sometime back in the group, I saw a picture of Ramakrishna and Sarada Devi holding Kali as a Baby and is sitting on Sarada Devi's lap, while Ramakrishna looks on like a proud father. [end of conversation] Yes! Now this whole conversation make sense to me. Why initially the divine is the mother thereafter move to be the child, and later as lover. My mother use to tell me once : only when you have become a mother you will understand why mothers react as they are towards their children. And indeed I do now. Why divine move to be our child? What happen when we become the parent. We become very protective. We want to give the best to our child. We want our child to grow to be a better person and able to do better than us. Isn't this the aspirations of most parent? We know if we nurture our young well, they will eventually grow to be better people. And as mother, our needs are not important anymore. We focus all our attention towards our child. We sacrifice our own comfort so that our child will strive. Even when we are sleep [no matter how deep is our sleep], the cries of the child will awaken us. Does this brings us in mind of how Shiva himself transform himself into a crying child, so that he can invoke the motherly instinct in Kali when She goes into a rampage after winning the battle? This are just my rampling thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Greetings,,, I can answer to your question. There's one thing you can do about this and this is to change your attitude toward women and then to be like a child and see in Her (Devi) your Mother or like a vira and see in Her (Devi) your shakti, and doing so, many times depending what you choose to be, you will discover Her (Devi) and see Her (Devi) with your own eyes.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Yes, it's uncanny but true. Just last night in bed, I watched my wife cuddle and caress our infant daughter and they spoke to each other in with their eyes, touch and through sounds; and in that moment, I felt the incarnation of the Goddess.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Greetings Mike, This is one of the best examples which show Devi's pure manifestation in this World. On those intimate moments we forget about our limited Self (ego) and something else replaces it that is greater than us. You just experienced it in a way so marvelous that I am happy for you. Good Luck ! I must tell you that by seeing this and understanding what you saw you are close to the top of the mountain (metaphorically speaking). Dave. maxwlpwr wrote: Yes, it's uncanny but true.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 He change ;-) Come on, even Shiva lay prostate belly up before Kali :-) You know I interpret this as absolute love for Kali. Here is this horrific power (shakti) uncontrollable able to probably knock Shiva's block-off, and this gentleman in his uncontrollable love fr her lies down in front of this approaching storm, thinking hoping " oh please, please come to me, please, I love you so much. come I want you any and every way you can come. please come" And she approachs, even though ablaze in her shakti. In her love approaches him as he has surrendered/embraced (thanks Felicia :-) for the positive equivalent to surrender=embrace ) - nudges him with her foot, and says 'Hey Babe, let's Dance !" In Vipassana, Goenkaji equates this posture to we having gone so beserk slaying/regenerating Aversion and Desire, the two Generals of the Asura force, that we supress our true 'Mangalam' . This too makes sense ... but I'd rather be Shiva :-) NMadasamy <nmadasamy wrote: --- In , "NMadasamy" <nmadasamy@s...> wrote: And do you know what, this is what comes back to me: "Nora I like to thank your guru.

Here is message -- ---------------------------- Dev Maharaj <dev_maharaj wrote Namaskaar Yes it is possible, all that has to happen is that a fraction of the main universal energy disssociates itself from the whole and lowers it frequency to match what the human can see. What is not understood is that depending on the level of the sadhak whose vibration may be higher than that of others he/she may see this clearly while they cannot if they are of a lower vibration. This happens when one is performing intensive mantra sadhana, normally though the deity will only manifest from consciousness to a state where it can be seen with the third eye, it takes too much energy to descend to a physical form. The wroship tha we perform is not significant enough to warrant descent to a physical form and deities do not waste energy.
