RBSC:Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi

[Guest guest]

Dear Mr.Kalianandaswaiji,

 

it is really nice to hear the

sayings of the Ramanamaharishi. i had been to this ashram more than

once.

 

however i would like to say that

there is wide difference between Bakthi and Jnana. i mean to say

Bakthi and Janan is not one and the same.

 

Bakthi is devotion to God and

showing constant surrendership to God. it is a spiritual exercise of

surrendership to God .

 

Jnana is the fruits of Bakthi .

this Jnana provided perfect will ever ensure that God is everywhere

in every thought of action, thus making a Baktha to do ever actions

of Good Karma.

 

Jnana without Bhakti is a total

junk. it is like a structure without foundation , can be shaken at

the site of a really spiritual seeker.

 

similarly the thought of

Ramana Maharishi is not for everyone , but instead can be a perfect

guide to the spiritual seeker.

 

infact his statements are the

experience of his own, which he makes known to everyone to realise

the reality.

 

actually it is a tough job.

for the beginners in the field of spiritual reality will be led to

contemplation and forceing of their own indecision to be decisive.

 

again no one can offer to God

anything in the way of naivedhya of themselves to God.

 

mainly for the creator is

Bramha and for the supreme God being Lord of Vaikunta , one can only

find the prescence of gateway to these Gods in our own self ruled by

the consiousness of Bramhan in our Consiousness.

 

even though Bramha is

pleased, without the grace of the Lord Narayana one cannot attain

Moksha.

 

attaining samadhi at the

command of the God is totally different from attaining samadhi in the

way of Siddha.

 

for the samadhi in the first

case is Moksha, whereas in the second case it is forecibly using the

Ganana to demonstrate the spiritual energy.

 

 

no spiritual energy without

bakthi is a total junk, which even Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita

explains very clearly.

 

union in Bramhan is

secondary only compared to the attainment of the Soul at the Lotus

Feet of the Supreme God.

 

and also being on this Earth

one cannot directly pray to the Supreme Lord for the Lord Bramha

takes the priority of doing Pooja to the Supreme Lord.

 

the time of this puja by

Lord Bramha is called as the Bramha Muhurtha, during that time no one

on the Earth are entitled to perfom puja to the Supreme Lord .

 

but one great way is still

alive, that is following the Bhakthas who reached to Vaikunta with

the grace of the supreme Lord.

 

i do have a collection of

books from Ramana Ashram directly here with me, and i acknowledge

that actually the Nature of Self is Selfless.

 

Sri Rama Jayam,

 

Shiva Balaji
