Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 What actions can we take to help clean Ganga? Namascar Swamiji, To help to clean Mata Ganga we can do pranayama, drawing ojas up the ida, moving the energy around the ajna chakra (washing the feet of the Guru), and then moving it down the pingala.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I think that we are talking about cleansing the nadis. As above so below. Just as our nadis get clogged up with negativities and thoughts; the Earth's aura gets clogged up with the negativities and thoughts of all of humanity. How to help cleanse the Earth? The central nadis of humans are potentially connected to Her central nadi through the hui yin point at the base of the body; the perineum; and our crown chakra is connected to a star far above our head; the abode of Shiva. Ask and receive; these connections can be made that simply. Why not? The Violet Flame can be invoked to burn up negativity. It's a simple visualization coupled with an invokation such as: I am a being of violet fire; I am the purity God desires. Move the flames that you visualize over yourself; channel them up and down your center. Also helpful is Sadhana Concepts The Healing Art Of Conscious Breathing © 2002 Sadhana Concepts CD is the first of its kind using natural breathing and technology to create the perfect breath for synchronous breathing. You can breath the negativities and thoughts out of your body and aura with this CD as a breathing guide. It's been a lifesaver for me. I use this as well as the previous visualizations and my palm chakras to give direction and focus to the visualization. Also if the breathing causes uncomfortable tingling sensations in the body you can use the palm chakras to help ground out the excess energy. I use the palm chakras in the taoist 'embrace the world' posture; one palm facing up near the perineum, one facing down at the top of the chest. If you're not sure that your palm chakras are open you can ask Ma to open them; or place all 5 fingertips of one hand together and place them on the opposite palm; spread them out: this opens the chakra. You can open your fingertip chakras the same way. , "Nanda" <chandimaakijai wrote: > > > Namaste to all, > > Here is a question from Swamiji to the group .

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 We can do sadhana beside our favorite stream. All the streams and rivers of this world are Maa Ganga. So we can purify all the waters. After that, if there's some litter around, we can clean the place up a bit. Jai Maa Ganga !!!

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Shiva receives Ganga so She can safely come to Earth to purify unfortunate souls and further sanctifies Her with His touch. Ongoing puja to Shiva with gratitude for the offerings of both seems another way to assist in ever-transforming the impurities Ganga receives. Durga & Shubal Subj: Re: Ganga Dasahara 5/26/2006 12:55:35 AM Eastern Daylight Time _chandimaakijai _ (chandimaakijai ) Bhagiratha prayed to Brahma that Ganga come down to Earth. Brahma agreed, and he ordered Ganga to go down to the Earth and then on to the nether regions so that the souls of Bhagiratha's ancestors would be able to go to heaven. The vain Ganga felt that this was insulting and decided to sweep the whole earth away as she fell from the heavens. Alarmed, Bhagiratha prayed to Shiva that he break up Ganga's descent. Ganga arrogantly fell on Shiva's head. But Shiva calmly trapped her in his hair and let her out in small streams. The touch of Shiva further sanctified Ganga. As Ganga travelled to the nether-worlds, she created a different stream to remain on Earth to help purify unfortunate souls there. ================================ Swamiji asks "Ganga has been charged with the responsibility to cleanse the world from selfishness. When Ganga complained that She would become polluted from cleansing the world, Brahma proclaimed that the sadhus will perform sadhana in order to clean Her.
