Amritanandamayi Ma, the inspiration behind the CD, Sri Lalita Sahasranama

[Guest guest]

Dear SYs,

 

Just to let you know that the brave devotees of Mata Amritanandamayi

have already boldly laid claim to her being the Adi Shakti and the

Divine Mother, presumed to be the incarnation of Shri Lalita Devi.

They are also busy building ashrams and even have a CD titled " Sri

Lalita Sahasranama " :

 

" The Holy Mother Mata Amritanandamayi consecrated her residential

ashram in California on May 25, 1989. The purpose of the Mata

Amritanandamayi Center is to provide a contemplative atmosphere for

serious seekers to pursue the goal of God Realization through

spiritual practice and service to humanity. "

Devi will always protect those who chant the Lalita Sahasranama with

devotion every day, " says Amritanandamayi Ma, the inspiration behind

the CD, Sri Lalita Sahasranama, The 1,000 Names of the Divine

Mother. This disc is a worshipful aid to Mother's devotees. Its

mantras, beautiful animations, English translations, games, videos

and more make it a wonderfully entertaining and devotional

experience. One of the best parts of the disc is a virtual

flythrough of a magical island temple.

i guess that we SYs are still trying for the last two decades to

muster enough courage to declare that Shri Mataji is the Holy Ghost,

the Adi Shakti who has come to announce the Resurrection Time.

 

" I am the Holy Ghost. I am the Adi Shakti. I am the One who has

come on this Earth for the first time in this Form to do this

tremendous task. The more you understand this the better it would

be. . . . Declare to all the nations now that I am the Holy Ghost

and I have come for this special Time, that is, the Resurrection

Time. "

Maybe we SYs should know that a " ksatriya is a defender, a

protector—a person who will resort to physical means to cultivate

the field of life. He is not violent, but, rather, he protects from

violence. There will always be violence in this world, weeds that,

left unattended, will destroy the garden, and so there must always

be protectors of the innocent.

 

To this end, a ksatriya is trained in the military arts. He is noble

and chivalrous. But, if necessary, he will employ combative tactics.

Because there are people who perform evil deeds, ksatriyas such as

Arjuna are needed. And when ksatriyas fight according to fair

standards of warfare, they serve an important function in society. A

just war according to the Vedic system, then, is one of

defense—it is never aggressive but rather serves humanity by

protecting people and establishing God consciousness.

 

" It should again be underlined that not everyone is a ksatriya,

and Arjuna's dilemma is specific to his circumstance—not everyone

in his position should fight. A brahmana, for example, should not

engage in warfare, nor would he generally find himself in the midst

of a battlefield. Nor is he properly trained for engaging in battle.

But a `born' warrior, like Arjuna, must fight. He would be

sinful not to fight, and this is Krishna's main point.

 

The truth of this statement is so obvious that Gandhi, who otherwise

endorsed nonviolence in all circumstances, felt it necessary to say

the following: " `Let us suppose that Arjuna flees the battlefield.

Though his enemies are wicked people, are sinners, they are his

relations and he cannot bring himself to kill them. If he leaves the

field, what would happen to those vast numbers on his side? If

Arjuna went away, leaving them behind, would the Kauravas have mercy

on them? No. If he left the battle, the Pandava army would be simply

annihilated. What, then, would be the plight of their wives and

children? ... Arjuna, therefore, had no choice but to fight.'

 

" That being said, it becomes obvious that sometimes fighting is

necessary, as has been pointed out earlier. The Pandavas did not

want to engage in warfare, but they had no alternative. The Kauravas

made life intolerable, not only for the Pandavas, but for the mass

of people. And if people suffer, ksatriyas engage in battle. As the

Irish politician Edmund Burke writes, `The only thing necessary

for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.' Men such

as the Pandavas would never let evil triumph. What about the

devotees of the Adi Shakti Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi?
