UPANISHAD AMRUT

 

 

To all devotees of the Adi Shakti, I would recommend readers to buy this superb "Upanishad Amrut", a 2 CD set presented by the Divine Life Society in either English or Hindi. It will help SYs understand the far deeper reality of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi who, as Shri Lalita Devi within all Sahasraras, liberates the seekers and grants moksa.'Upanishad Amrut' (Amrut means Nectar) is a distillation of theessence embedded in the deeply spiritual thinking underlyingthe 'Vedas'. The album contains recitations of shlokas (hymns)from ten of the Upanishads in Sanskrit. Shankar Mahadevanand Dewaki Pandit have rendered the recitations, put to musicby the Santoor maestro, Pandit Shivkumar Sharma. After eachshloka recitation, the underlying philosophy and meaning isexplained by Swami Chidanandji Maharaj, President of theDivine Life Society. His explanations have been presented intwo versions, Hindi and English, to capture a wider audience.Musical accompanists: Pandit Bhawani

Shankar - Pakhawaj,Dhruba Ghosh - Sarangi, Rakesh Chaurasia - Flute, IndrajitKumar Sharma - Keyboard.According to Juan Mascaro, The Upanishads "One of the messages of the Upanishads is that the Spirit can only be known through union with him, and not through mere learning. And can any amount of learning make us feel love, or see beauty or hear the ‘unheard melodies’? Some have only seen the variety of thought in the Upanishads, not their underlying unity. To them the words in the sacred texts might be applied: "Who sees variety and not the unity wanders on from death to death."The spirit of the Upanishads is the Spirit of the Universe. Brahman, God himself, is their underlying spirit. The Christians must feel that Brahman is God, and the Hindu must feel that God is Brahman. Unless a feeling of reverence independent of the barriers of names can be felt for the ineffable, the sayings of the Upanishads is true: "Words are weariness," the same idea

expressed by the prophet that "Of making many books there is no end."The Holy Spirit may be the nearest translation of Brahman in Christian language. Whilst God the Father and God the Son are in the foreground of the mind of many Christians, the Holy Spirit seems to receive less adoration. And in India the Brahman of the Upanishads is not as popular as Siva, Vishnu or Krishna. Even Brahma, the manifestation of Brahman as creator, and not to be confused with him, is not living in the daily devotions of the Hindu, as are the other two gods of the trinity, Siva and Vishnu. The Upanishads doctrine is not a religion of the many; but rather the Spirit behind all religions in their central theme repeated in such a wonderful variety of ways.Brahman in the Universe, God in his transcendence and immanence is also the Spirit of man, the self in every one and in all, Atman. Thus the momentous statement is made in the Upanishads that God must not be sought as something far away,

separate from us, but rather as the very inmost of us, as the higher Self in us above the limitations of our little self. Thus when the sage of the Upanishads is pressed for a definition of God, he remains silent, meaning that God is silence. When asked again to express God in words, he says "Neti, neti,Not his, not this"; but when pressed for a positive explanation he utters the sublimely simple words" TAT TWAM ASI,Thou art That."The essence of the Upanishads is that beyond everything known and unknown is the unchanging Ultimate Reality of Brahman.Shri Lalita’s 818th name is Shri Satya-rupa which translates as "She is Brahman Herself."Shri Lalita Devi is also known as Shri Kevala (623rd): "The pure Brahman, absolute and undifferentiated by any of the three forms of difference i.e. Svagata, Sajatiya and Vijatiya."Her 943rd name is Shri Vimanastha: "Vimana is the divine transport of ‘Devas.’ She is seated in Vimana

like Geya-chakra. Vimana also means without limitation because She is the unconditioned infinite Brahman. The name also means She is seated in the mind."By being Shri Kaivalya-pada-dayini (625th): "She confers on the devotees the pure, undiffentiated state of Kaivalya. Yogasutra 4, chapter 33 describes ‘Kaivalya’ as the establishment in its own nature of the power of consciousness. The devotees of Kamakala who find no distinction between the object of worship — Devata, and the individual Self attain the state of ’Kaivalya-Pada’ or the state of Brahman."She is also Shri Brahmani (821st): "By ‘Brahma’ is meant the ‘Anandamaya-Kosa’ and ‘Ani’ means the tail or ‘Pucchagra.’ According to sruti ‘Brahmapuccham pratistha’ She dwells in the tail of ‘Anandamaya-Kosa’ or ‘Ani’ means one who moves the Reality to action, i.e., indwelling Power of Reality."Her 711th name is Shri Sadhvi: "A lady of pure character. Sadhu is the certitude that

the Sadhak is one with Brahman."She is also Shri Tattvadhika (906th): "Transcending the categories of the creation. "Tattva" also means "Sabda-Brahman," that elemental state of creation which lasts till the Final Dissolution, "Pralaya," but which is not subject to death, birth and decay. Apralayam Yat Tisthati Sarvesam Bhogadayi Bhutanam Tattavamiti — that which abides beyond Dissolution and that which gives experience to all creation is Tattva (Sruti)."Her 450th name is Shri Nandini: "One who enjoys (the Bliss), i.e., prajnanam of Brahman (Srutih); prajnanam Brahma; or the name of Gannga."She is Shri Veda-Janani (338th): "The Mother of the Vedas, because they are Her breath — also because She as Sabda-Brahman becomes Vaikhari-Sabda, i.e., the Matrka, consisting of the 105 letters of the alphabet which is the source of the

Vedas."May all seekers of the Ultimate Reality realize that Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi is the incarnation of Shri Lalita Devi whose 576th name is Shri Matta: "The attitude of intoxicated realisation of Brahman which makes the devotee unaware of the universe of name and form."We are the ancient worshippers of the Great Primordial Mother who have served Her aeons. Now we have come on this Earth, along with others already here and many more on way, to announce the Absolute Truth.

 

We have come to announce Her Advent on this Earth. We have come to recite Her Satya Yuga. We have come to vouch Her Message of Resurrection. We have come to spread Her Great Announcement (surah 78:1-5 An-Naba) of Qiyamah. We have come to prove that She is the Messiah. We have come to verify that She is the Comforter. We have come to notify that She is the Imam Mahdi (Al-Muntazar). We have come to testify that She is the Matraiya. We have come to reveal that She is the Eykaa Mayee. We have come to certify that She is the Great Spirit. We have come to confirm that She is the Adi Kundalini. We have come to assure that She is the Redeemer. We have come to warn that She is Shri Kalki. We have come to affirm that She is the Holy Spirit of God Almighty. We have come to promulgate that She is the Ruh of Allah. We have come to establish that She is the Shakti of Shri Sadashiva. We have come to pronounce that She is the Spirit of the Living God.

Again we repeat: May no ignorant human hinder our spiritual work. May no false guru defy our divine duty. May no religious institution maliciously obstruct our earthly mission. May all our mortal enemies hear the conches blown by Her ancient spiritual warriors descending on Mother Earth in ever-increasing numbers, and desist from battle. May all the ancient seekers of Truth hear Her Vak and perform their Dharma. May the great Primordial Mother triumph over the forces of falsehood, fundamentalism, and darkness. May the Supreme Divine Mother be victorious yet again.You are in truth the visible Brahman.I will proclaim you as the visible Brahman.I will speak the right. I will speak the truth.May this protect me. May it protect my teacher!May this protect me. May it protect my teacher!Aum, peace, peace, peace! (Taittriya Upanishads 1.1.1. )jagbir
