Dear one

 

Respects to you! I have been reading from the various postings from the

other learned members. I don't have either the experience of HER nor the

knowledge about the scriptures as some of them have.But still this mesg is

something like notes from a fellow traveler and from some one who has

similar "hard and very tough ideas."

 

It looks like you want to destroy some vasanaas and the effects on them on

you. Have you tried just accepting those as THEIR (Mahadeva and Mahadevi's)

blessings, whether you like them or not. She is the MOTHER.SHE wouldn't have

given anything unless SHE knew that it is most appropriate to you.

Acceptance opens the door to transcendence. ( A small percentage of what I

have written has been my experience.)

 

Offer HIM AND HER all that you have, even those you think you don't like and

want to transcend. She will take care. In fact, everything is already taken

care of.

 

My advance apologies in case I offended you. ( In Hindi , they say only

small mouths talk big things.)

 

May the Goddess me with you!!

Regards

Gopi

Dear and respected member,

 

some of you are the wisest people on the internet in relation to shiva and

the devi. I am a passive member but today have a question to ask of all of

you. You see by birth I am a brahmin but I come from Fiji and live in

Australia. As you would know we are very far form India. From my grandfather

these traditions have been lost. As a shaiva and a shaktha I intend to

follow the shastras. My question consists of two parts. What are the duties

of a Brahmin. I dont have a white rudraksha but make ado with the brownish

ones. I do the Bhasma ritual as in relation to bhasma jabala upnishad. But

there must more obligations. MY other question is that is there a mantram or

siddhi dedicated to either Shiva or shakthi via which one can fget rid of

Kama, Krodha, Lobha, MOha especailly Kama. Shiva was the incenarator of Kama

deva and I wonder if there is any way I could envoke that form to destroy

that characteristic in myself.

 

I am doing my best but I want to get rid of such thoughts as well.

 

I aplore your wisdom and await replies in agony.

Kama is very tough to beat and most often it forces us to deviate from our

main aim of realization or bhakthy.

 

In my experience every attempt to get over it directly makes the matter

worse .So it is better to not to deal with it directly in our time. Never

fix in your mind any does and don'ts.

 

Concentrate on external activities. I believe it is not necessary to focus

internally intentionally. At present we must admit that we are not fit

enough to concentrate on any internal chakras or meditate .Perhaps this may

not be required atall for our nature . Read books like Yogavasishta ,

Mandukykarika along with Lalitha sahasranama or other stotras.

 

Understand that We are not the doers of our good deeds or bad deeds hence it

is not required to think of past or future. Be always in the now and see

that you worship Amma with all your deeds .( Soudaryalahari 27).

 

Our aim is beyond all thoughts ,shastras and rituals. Don't bother about any

rituals which are not practical. All rituals are for making our mind pure

and ideal for surrendering. They are not the only way. Easier way to most of

us is to try to practise Karmayoga, Njanayoga and Bhakthyyoga together .

Sri Ramakrishna's books will be of immense help in this regard.

 

I have also found a site http://that.i.am which is simply great. and a

marvelous group god-realized. The specialty of this groups

is that all our queries are answered by a Realized Person named Ms. Ganga

Karmokar . presently in Rishikesh, India.

 

Post your querries to her . She will be able to give you appropriate

guidance
