For those able to stop begging for tiny morsels of favour from so-called masters there are 1001 ways. As you surrender to the Shakti within She will present you with opportunities to proclaim Her Divine Message to all. For example we SYs have the power to make our hands 'talk'. But who is the Power behind such experiences recorded hundreds of thousands of times? How are SYs able to 'communicate' with this mysterious Power that comes only after Self-realization/Second Birth/Baptism of Allah? What is the reality of this guiding Power within us SYs? The answer is that the Power " is the Kundalini Shakti present as dormant energy in every one of us. " Below is an article written by Prof. V. Krishnamurthy that seems to project a Hindu Divine Feminine, one that non-Hindus cannot easily relate to their own religion and holy scriptures. Only Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has given evidence that the Divine Feminine is entrenched in all the holy scriptures as the Adi Shakti (Hinduism), Comforter/Holy Spirit (Christianity), Shekinah (Judaism), Ma Adi/Ruh (Islam), Mai Treya (Buddhism), Great Mother (Taoism) and Aykaa Mayee (Sikhism). Such an unprecedented revelation in history and irrefutable evidence to back it is absolutely required if the Shakti is indeed within all humans, as recorded in the holy scriptures. Only those who understand Her Divine Message will be able to comprehend how and why " the Kundalini Shakti present as dormant energy in every one of us " is so active within those taking part in the Last Judgment and Resurrection. When you have such knowledge within the palm of your hands why beg from management SYs for a chance to serve Her? Who are they to stop you from serving the Shakti within in any way you see fit? Jai Shri Mataji, jagbir Mother Goddess Prof. V. Krishnamurthy 1. The primeval energy One of the unique features of Hinduism is the fact that it conceives Divinity also as Mother Goddess. Even religions which clearly assert that Divinity has no name or form, other than Hinduism, do not take the next logical step of accepting that the Supreme God has no specificity in terms of gender. It is only in Hinduism that we see the Ultimate Power is also expressed in feminine terms. It must be said to the credit of the Upanishadic seers that they categorically asserted that real Godhead has to transcend a gender-specific connotation and invented therefore the unique word `Tat' – meaning `that' – for that Divinity. And therefore, they argued, whatever reason or rhyme we have in referring to God by a masculine pronoun, the same right there is for us to call God by a feminine pronoun. In fact they go further. They conceive the energy of every Cosmic Divinity as feminine and thus arrive at the interesting concept of primordial Power or the ParA-shakti. In Science, matter is fundamental and self-existent; its motive power is Energy. In Hindu Vedanta on the other hand, Energy is self-existent and Matter is the product of Energy. It is this ever-present Energy that is called ParA-shakti. Without this ParA-shakti's life-giving inspiration, the Creator BrahmA cannot do his creative function, Vishnu cannot perform his sustenance function, nor can Rudra contribute to the Cosmic ecology by His dissolution function at the time of pralaya, which must follow all creation, in due time. That is why She is called (LalitA-sahasranAma) " SrshhTi-kartrI brahma-rUpA goptrI govinda-rUpiNI; samhAriNI rudra-rUpA .... " . The concept of Shakti as the essence of everything is non-existent in the western culture. Modern Physics, however, shows signs of reversing that trend of thought. 2. Brahman to be known, Shakti to be worshipped The primordial ParA-shakti is therefore the ultimate dynamic Energy of that transcendental Para-Brahman, than which there is no other existence. In fact it is technically inaccurate to say that She is the Energy of the Para-Brahman, because the nature of the latter does not allow any attributes or predicates for it. When we attribute anything to the Para-Brahman we have already delimited and circumscribed it. When we talk of the Energy of the Ultimate Reality we have already come one step down from the supreme pedestal of the Unmanifested Ultimate. But the beauty of Hindu philosophy is that this ParA-shakti Herself is transcendent beyond anything that is finite and immanent in everything there is and therefore while we predicate it, and relate it to other things, it is still the Ultimate Supreme that can be talked about. While Brahman has only to be cognised, ParA-shakti can be worshipped by the methods of SaguNopAsanA, that is, worship by a form and name. She is the Divine Will personified. She is the Conscious Power behind everything. She is the Presence, invisible and constant, which sustains the world, linking form and name, holding them in inter-dependence. There is nothing impossible for Her. She is the Universal Goddess. She is all knowledge, all strength, all triumph and all victory. She is the Maheshvari who brings to us the total state of illumination. 3. She is Many-One She is in fact the Mother of the Universe. She creates, She preserves, She dissolves. She is the `sat', therefore creates: She is the `chit', therefore is Life; She is the Ananda, therfefore is bliss. At the same time She must be the possessor and controller of the opposite qualities also, namely, Destruction, Death and Terror. It is in these latter three facets that She manifests Herself as MahA-KALi: the Goddess of supreme strength. All might and power that is anywhere has to bow down to Her prowess. She is MahA-lakshmi, the supreme Goddess of Love and Delight and She gives the Grace and Charm to everything that is divine or human. She is MahA-Sarasvati, the Goddess of divine skill and knowledge. She is the fire-fighter and trouble-shooter for the entire universe. She does not have to descend from Her heights of Glory and Majesty and limit Herself to a human birth as the other divinities like Vishnu and Shiva do. She manifests Herself just when She wills it and She demanifests also just like that. The supreme examples of such manifestation and non-manifestation are narrated in that wonderful book called `ChanDi' or `durgA-sapta-shati' or `devI-mAhAtmyaM'. This book which is, by some accounts, one of the upa-purANas, is not just a narrative poem describing the exploits of ParA-shakti. It is a book of mantras. Every verse therein has a mantra value and is capable of producing spiritual and occult vibrations which will result not only in the spiritual elevation of mankind but in their material benefit also. Let us spend just a little time on why this is so. 4. She is Herself the Para-brahman Whenever any cosmic divinity acts it has to draw the energy to act from that infinite source of energy, the transcendent Para-brahman. The power, the life-giving inspiration to act and the dynamism for the Will, all of these come from that ultimate source. This source is the ParA-shakti, an infinite reservoir of Energy. It is the dynamic expression of the Infinite Actionless Unmanifested Para-brahman. That is why whenever we think of Her, whenever we invoke Her, whenever we fill our heart and mind with Her exploits by reading the `ChanDi' not only are we elevated spiritually but the very atmosphere is lifted to a higher level of enlightenment, brilliance and radiance. She is the only Divinity who is amenable both for worship by means of saguNopAsanA (that is, worship through form and name) and for cognition through nirguNopAsanA, that is worship of the Unmanifested and Attributeless. In the case of the other Gods if one is inclined towards nirguNopAsanA one has to sublimate their forms, transcend them and reach the heights of the inexpressible ecstasies of the `experience' of brahman. But in the case of parA-shakti there is nothing beyond Her. You may worship Her as a Goddess with form and attributes or you may imagine that Energy to be abstract and therefore has to be only cognised and felt in your bones. She is Herself the para-brahman becuse brahman cannot be cognised any other way except through its dynamic expression of Will which is the PrakRti or MayA, through the visible form of parA-shakti. Thus the Mother Goddess admits of the full range of bhakti as well as the highest sophistication of jnAna yoga or Raja-yoga. In one case She is the Mother whose form we adore in one of several forms resplendent in the numerous temples with any one of Her more than thousand names. And in the other case She is the KunDalinI shakti who is present as the dormant energy in every one of us. Prof. V. Krishnamurthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Dear Jagbir, Thank you Jagbir for that message. It really is that simple. And i believe that Truth is very simple. Only people want to make truth a complicated thing. If one not only hears Truth but applies it to their lives that is the secret. Complexity comes when people accept truth from other human beings without discrimination, rather than turning to the Adi Shakti within for the truth. Shri Mataji has always emphasized how important it is to know the Holy Scriptures of all religions. The essences of all these scriptures from the original Incarnations are the revealed Word of God and can always give us peace and assurance by reading them. They can dispel any doubts, lack of faith and problems on our spiritual journey. Especially, since we have our self-realization, these Holy Scriptures are much more easily understood. It is also my experience that these Holy Scriptures are a base line that will reveal whether anything anyone says is the Truth. In this Vishwa Nirmala Dharma (pure immaculate religion of the Spirit) we are to become our own gurus now. We are to become our Spirit now. When we do that, our Spirit enlightens us. We are a part of All That Is. There is a Universal Collectivity and Universal Order of things, which is under the Vision of Shri Ganesha, of whom Jesus is a reincarnation, under the guidance of our Spirit and under the blessings of God Almighty, all of Whom will guide us as we surrender to their Love, Wisdom and Understanding. They are also the Inner Guides, who are the True Guides. True Guidance comes from Within, not Without. We are also a part and parcel of each other, brothers and sisters, Spirit Beings who are all individual drops, yet also 'dissolved 'drops' in the whole wave of Collective Beingness. We are not God Himself, but our Individual Spirits are each a part of the essence of God Himself. Shri Mataji called us Her Children. Shri Mataji came to teach us to look within and why are people continually looking 'with-out' and listening to others? That is where confusion comes in, because everyone has different 'out-looks'. It is only when we look 'with-in' that we can all agree to the unity within, which only then can also translate to unity without. In the many-jewelled Kingdom of God Within, we are all original drops of the essence of God and can all experience the various facets of the Truth of God within our Selves if we so desire. God manifests Himself to each person in a unique way that is best for that person's spiritual growth through His Holy Spirit, the Divine Mother, Adi Shakti within each of us. Everyone is a unique 'droplet' or personality of the essence of God within, which therefore means that we can enjoy each others variety of outlook, approach, vision, much like the many different flowers with their different faces, colours, scents, and uses. Life is so simple yet so beautifully complex. However, the Kundalini Shakti within and without unites this all in an orchestral harmony to the praise of God Almighty. It is the Divine Mother within who is talking to us in this beautiful poem to Her Flower Children. Shri Mataji is an Incarnation of the Holy Spirit or Divine Mother within. See how your Mother Within longs to adorn your life with beautiful blossoms and fill your moments with joyful fragrance. She promises to annoint your head with Divine Love and to engulf you in the Ocean of Joy, so that you fill to the brim and lose your 'separateness' and become 'integrated' in God, the Greater One. Here is the promise of the Adi Shakti (Holy Spirit Within). She is also Without in everything created. She cannot be contained in a box or within an organization, because She is Being Itself and The All Pervading Holy Spirit, Divine Mother, has no boundaries or limitations. She is Here For All. So please enjoy and surrender to Her Love to you and let all outer words of others who would tell you that the Truth is outside somewhere, vanish like so much unnecessary talk. Violet To my flower children You are angry with life Like small children Whose Mother is lost in Darkness. Your sulk expressing despair, At the fruitless end of your journey You wear Ugliness to discover Beauty, You name everything false in the name of Truth, You drain out emotions to fill the cup of Love My sweet children, my darlings, How can you get peace by waging war With yourself, with your being, with joy itself? Enough are your efforts of renunciation - The artificial mask of consolation. Now rest in the petals of the lotus flower In the lap of your gracious Mother. I will adorn your life with beautiful blossoms And fill your moments with joyful fragrance. I will annoint your head with Divine Love For I cannot bear your torture anymore. Let me engulf you in the ocean of joy, So you lose your being in the Greater one Who is smiling in your calyx of self, Secretly hidden to tease you all the while. Be aware and you will find Him Vibrating your every fibre with blissful joy Covering the whole Universe with light!
