Spiritual Practices necessary over the next 9 days!!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

The conjunction of planets right now influencing the Earth is

excellent at this time for spiritual practices. Mantras should be

practiced as often as possible over the next week and a half, as well

as meditation, homas, yagnas and any other devotional practices.

 

The fruits of your mantras will manifest far quicker, as the energies

exerted on the Earth right now are very potent and cause a

multiplying effect for any spiritual discipline practiced during this

time.

 

If possible spend all of your time in meditation, as what can be done

over the next 9 days, would usually take months of regular practice.

Alex,

 

Could you tell us what specific combination of planets makes this time

especially ripe for spiritual practices. I don't see it.

 

Thanks in advance,

Karen

Hi!

 

Spiritual practices and mantras are great. But are they necessary? ......

They bring "siddhis", power to do certain things, like levitation, contact with

devas, ability to transform matter etc. But are these things nrcessary? .....

 

Somewhere in the Upanishads (?) there is a story about a man who went looking

for a guru. Those he met did not please him. One day he approached a village and

saw a young boy, who radiated effulgence. He asked him, " Is there a really good

guru in this village?" And the boy answered, "Why do you need a guru? The sun

gives light and warmth, makes clouds to rise and give you rain. Without light,

warmth and water you cannot live. The sun gives you these, to the good and the

bad equally, and asks for no reward. The Wind purifies the atmosphere, takes

evil smells away. You breathe the wind and cannot live without it. But the wind

blows for the good and the bad, and asks for no reward. The Earth carries you.

You trample on it with every step. But it carries the good and the bad, provides

food for all, and asks for no reward.

 

You have three gurus. Do as they do: treat all your fellow-beings alike, do not

judge, and help without asking for a reward. Do you still need a fourth guru?

 

 

I have given this story from memory - read it 40 years ago! - and may not be

correct in all details. But this is the gist of the Gita and the Sermon on the

Mount.

 

Spirituality lies in service and is not restricted to 9 days in a year. These 9

days serve only to remind us of what we have to do 365.25 days every year, to

dedicate ourselves consciously! The Creatrix has not sent us here to perform in

a circus, to be proficient in changing molecules. These are things we will be

able to do anyhow, when we "go home". Our purpose is to get on with each other,

to tolerate, to give and to take without hurting, without asking for a reward.

AND THAT IS THE GREATEST CHALLENGE!

Hello,

 

Read this link on Navaratri if you wish a full explanation. It mainly

has to do with the position of the Sun and the Moon.

Hello Mani,

 

Thank you for the long response. You have brought up some excellent

points.

 

> Spiritual practices and mantras are great. But are they

necessary? ......

 

For some people they are not necessary. I agree. But they are very

useful for people who wish to achieve certain benefits.

 

For example if there is a combination in the birth chart for death,

what other way to avoid this than through mantra and spiritual

discipline?

 

As well mantras are very useful for the destruction of malefic karmas

that hinder spiritual progress. So it is very useful to do these

things if you wish for quicker spiritual progress. Many believe that

moksha is not possible without the use of mantra.

 

I always recommend spiritual disciplines as they make life easier to

live, as well as aiding spiritual progress. But they are by no means

necessary. However I fully recommend the use of mantras to anyone who

has any dangerous combinations in their charts.

 

thanks again,

 

Alex

good point about an yearlong process starting with a concentrated sampler of

9 days!
