Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Dear Jagbir, 'Jesus died to show that we too can be resurrected'. i can understand Jesus's Death and Resurrection much more clearly now that i know that Jesus laid down His Life and took it up again in order to show that human beings too can have a bodily resurrection whereby they are able to become the Spirit. It is a relief to be able to mentally dispense with the false doctrine that He 'died for our sins'.....a statement that Jesus Himself never ever said so. Thank you, Jagbir, for helping to clarify this Christian misconception. Jagbir, i know that when we have our Self-Realization the Kundalini Mother rises within us and connects our Spirit to the Kingdom of God within.....and this is known as our Resurrection. At risk of repeating myself (from my last post)... my question is: Is this the same Resurrection that Jesus experienced, or was Jesus's Resurrection different somehow? i am just trying to understand, as Jesus actually physically died in order to Resurrect Himself, whereas we do not have to die physically in order to have our Self-Realization....a.k.a. " Our Resurrection " . i would be most appreciative if you could clarify this for me. Warmest regards, Violet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the fact that our collectives are constantly engaged in the mind-boggling and awe-inspiring debates of catches and cures, which i cannot possibly explain due to a general deficiency of 'special' grey matter and obvious mental malaise, i really appreciate questions that peel the layers of Shri Mataji's Divine Message. Please do not hesitate to repeat if necessary. So here are answers that required some Silence. The present en masse resuurection is unlike that of Jesus who died, resurrected Himself and appeared before His disciples in a few days. After that He travelled East with His mother Mary. The Russian scholar, Nicolai Notovich, was the first to suggest that Christ may have gone to India. In 1887, Notovich, a Russian scholar and Orientalist, arrived in Kashmir during one of several journeys to the Orient. At the Zoji-la pass Notovich was a guest in a Buddhist monastery, where a monk told him of the bhodisattva saint called " Issa " . Notovich was stunned by the remarkable parallels of Issa's teachings and martyrdom with that of Christ's life, teachings and crucifixion. For about sixteen years, Christ travelled through Turkey, Persia, Western Europe and possibly England. He finally arrived with Mary to a place near Kashmir, where she died. After many years in Kashmir, teaching to an appreciative population, who venerated him as a great prophet, reformer and saint, he died and was buried in a tomb in Kashmir itself. The first step in Christ's trail after the Crucifixion is found in the Persian scholar F. Mohammed's historical work " Jami-ut-tuwarik " which tells of Christ's arrival in the kingdom of Nisibis, by royal invitation. (Nisibis is today known as Nusaybin in Turkey) . This is reiterated in the Imam Abu Jafar Muhammed's " Tafsi-Ibn-i-Jamir at- tubri. " Kersten found that in both Turkey and Persia there are ancient stories of a saint called " Yuz Asaf " ( " Leader of the Healed " ), whose behaviour, miracles and teachings are remarkably similar to that of Christ. The many Islamic and Hindu historical works recording local history and legends of kings, noblemen and saints of the areas thought to be travelled by Jesus also give evidence of a Christ like man; the Koran, for example, refers to Christ as " Issar " . Further east, the Kurdish tribes of Eastern Anatolia have several stories describing Christ's stay in Eastern Turkey after his resurrection. These traditional legends have been ignored by the theological community. It is necessary to understand the remaining years of the resurrected Christ to compare that with the present general Resurrection. However, unlike eternal incarnations/deities/prophets like Jesus, we are taking part in the Resurrection as mortal human beings. The Resurrection for humans is a life-long attempt to evolve into the eternal spirit (moksa). Only after physical death will we know whether we succeeded or not. Either way only death provides evidence of resurrection. This irrefutable evidence was provided by Jesus for all humanity through His death. Jesus died to show that we too can be resurrected. i base my belief in the present Resurrection because He has already provided proof through His own resurrection two millennia ago. But unlike Him, we will not appear before our friends and loved ones a few days after death, or take the Caribbean cruise cancelled due to Katrina. No, visiting exotic resorts or catching up with freinds will not happen. That is the fundamental difference between Jesus' resurrection and our taking part in The Resurrection. warmest regards, jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Dear Jagbir and All, Thank you for that clear answer. Going into the Silence to find the answers is an important function of being a Self-Realized person, that needs to be practised. Too many rank and file are meditating, but have never learned to enter the Silence where they find the answers, and if a new meditator may perchance ask a too difficult question, the SY will probably say that they do not know, or will ask the leaders. i suppose i could even say that many rank and file SY's do not go within to find the answers, but go to leaders to find the answers. And yet....what do the leaders know.....if they cannot themselves find the answers in the Silence within. i would like to say that the fact that you, Jagbir, can be asked a most difficult question, and you do not baulk at it, but contemplate, meditate, and go into the Silence to obtain the answer is one of the great examples for others to follow, yet many will rather follow the understanding of their leaders and follow that, rather than find the answers from within. In the case of these 'difficult' questions that i have asked, the Christian conditionings needed to be addressed by someone like yourself, so i found it easier for you to explain. Thank you so much again. Also, i want to say, that on these forums, most of those SY's who write here, do go within to find the answers, rather than asking their leaders. Yet this seems to be a crime punishable by ex-communication. What can i say, but be stupefied by the fact that if a person, also like myself can talk from my own experiences, and go within to find answers for other people's sometimes very difficult questions, that i have been asked by a fellow SY to check if i am " possessed " for doing that. Just because i do try and help others and explain things as described, i was asked to check to see if i was " possessed " . The way was to put a piece of paper on my hands in front of a photo of Shri Mataji to see if my hands shake, and if they do, i am " possessed " . i told this SY that i speak and write from my heart; it comes from my heart, and this SY said to me, " No, it comes from your ego " . i had to convince this person over and over again that no.....it comes from my heart. It is like the leader is right, if you say anything different from what the leader says that is the right way to do, think, write (never mind what SM says)....it is the leader that counts in this analysis. The " you better check to see if you are possessed' mentality kicks in. What kind of mentality is this, where commonsense and reasoning are competely bypassed. It is absolutely crazy, that Sahaja Yoga Organizational Leadership has lead people to become like this. So, what hope is there for rank and file SY's when they lean on the understanding of SY leaders who are even afraid to talk about the Resurrection, let alone answer them like you have, Jagbir?
