Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Dear devotees of the Adi Shakti, Namaskaar - i bow to His Ruh who resides in you! Of all the divine revelations to the children, perhaps the most priceless of all is the one revealed by the Divine Mother July 23, 1994. In his Sahasrara Kash asked, " Shri Mataji, what was Your original name? " The eternally youthful Adi Shakti replied: " Shri Lalita Devi. " With this divine revelation the Shri Lalita Sahasranama is identified as the Kitab Al Munir (Book of Enlightenment) that confirms the identity of His Ruh who proclaims the Great News of the Resurrection (Al-Qiyamah). http://www.adishakti.org/kitab_al_munir.htm http://adishakti.org/book_of_enlightenment/sri_lalita_sahasranama_1-100.htm http://adishakti.org/book_of_enlightenment/sri_lalita_sahasranama_101-200.htm http://adishakti.org/book_of_enlightenment/sri_lalita_sahasranama_201-300.htm http://adishakti.org/book_of_enlightenment/sri_lalita_sahasranama_301-400.htm http://adishakti.org/book_of_enlightenment/sri_lalita_sahasranama_401-500.htm http://adishakti.org/book_of_enlightenment/sri_lalita_sahasranama_501-600.htm http://adishakti.org/book_of_enlightenment/sri_lalita_sahasranama_601-700.htm http://adishakti.org/book_of_enlightenment/sri_lalita_sahasranama_701-800.htm http://adishakti.org/book_of_enlightenment/sri_lalita_sahasranama_801-900.htm http://adishakti.org/book_of_enlightenment/sri_lalita_sahasranama_901-1000.htm The Koran affirms that the Divine Mystery of the Resurrection will be explained and illuminated by Allah Himself in context of consciousness transcending history. " The Holy Koran never purports to add to, or to subtract from, the essential core of prophetic teachings that belong to all humanity. To respect and accept the Koran means to affirm as well all of Allah's revelations throughout history, which share precisely the same essence. The various Divine Revelations, which have historically developed into the revealed tradition as we know them today, are unique and self-authenticating holy ways of life, not just various sets of doctrines. Although history presents a picture of great religious diversity, Allah assures humanity in His Holy Koran that such diversity should not be regarded as the deviation of one tradition or another from the truth, but as a Divine Mystery which will be explained and illuminated by Allah Himself in a context of consciousness which transcends history. " The Ever-Present Source has revealed an uniquely authentic holy way to each and every nation, true spiritual disciplines that should be performed with care and constancy...One the Mystic Day when you awaken from the sleep in finite existence, Allah Most Wise will explain clearly to you the diversity that now appears to divide His various Revelations. " (22:67-70) This aspect of the Koranic vision, the harmony of religions, represents much more than human generosity, tolerance, and ecumenical spirit. Only Allah can offer such absolute assurance concerning the unbroken and unbreakable unity of all revealed traditions. This religious unity is not a mere wish, nor an intellectual speculation, nor even a high moral ideal that may or may not be capable of fulfillment. The essential teaching transmitted through all the prophets is stated clearly by Allah again and again in the Koran as revealed truth. It is surprising and direct, full of healing and illuminating power to transform our basic way of experiencing the world. The instinctive feeling of separation between members of different religious or cultural bodies can be dissolved only through contemplating revealed truth and not through the rational and diplomatic processes which allow our self-centered, divisive motivations to continue functioning. " Throughout the course of history the Source of Wisdom has sent Holy Messengers to bear only one essential Message: 'There are no conscious beings separate from the infinite I Am that I am. Therefore surrender your very being to the Source and Goal of Being.' " (21:19- 25) The coherence and inclusiveness of this single message at the center of the drama of revelation is self-evident, not just because it has been stated so clearly by the Holy Koran but because it really has been the essential point of all revelations throughout history. This message is self-evident because our consciousness is created to be harmonious with the truth that there is no fundamental separation within the one Reality. Revelation does not consist only of general principles but is characterized by rich particularity and uniqueness. None of the historical situations which have become vehicles for Divine Revelation are ever to be dismissed in favor of a general theory of revelation. And no previous revelation is meant to be replaced by more recent revelation. The fact of radical religious diversity does create tensions between historical traditions, although according to the Koranic vision these feelings of tension or foreignness between the peoples of revelation are to be discarded and Allah's own explanation is to be humbly awaited. Nonetheless, once the Truth reveals itself through a unique, unrepeatable historical figure, that person remains a bearer of supreme blessing to humanity for all future ages. " (www.al-islam.org) The Koran affirms that the Divine Mystery of the Resurrection will be explained and illuminated by Allah Himself in context of consciousness transcending history. It is the incarnation of His Ruh, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, who has come to give knowledge and guidance regarding Al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection). The Kitab Al Munir is the sacred text that identifies and praises His Ruh/Shakti/Spirit with 1000 holy names that ends all disputes about Allah/God/Brahman among the Believers during this Age of the Last Judgment and Resurrection: And verily the Hour will come: There can be no doubt about it, Or about (the fact) that Allah will raise up all who are in the graves. Yet there is among men such a one as disputes about Allah, Without knowledge, without guidance and without the Book of Enlightenment, Disdainfully bending his side in order to lead men astray from the path of Allah: For him there is disgrace in this life, and on the Day of Judgement, We shall make him taste the Penalty of Burning (Fire) surah 22:7-9 Al Hajj (The Pilgrimage) (Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989.) The identity of His Ruh through Her own divine revelation that She is Shri Lalita confirms the Kitab Al Munir (Book of Enlightenment). This holy scripture, dedicated exclusively to His Ruh, reveals Her esoteric nature. i.e., within the human being [1] Without the Kitab Al Munir it is impossible to know Allah/God/Brahman during this Age of Al-Qiyamah.[2] In the first place, without the Kitab Al Munir, it is impossible even to believe that this Great Event ordained for all humanity has commenced! Concerning what are they disputing? Concerning the Great News (5889) about which they cannot agree. Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!. surah 78:1-5 Al Naba' (The Great News) " 5889. Great News: Usually understood to mean the News or Message of the Resurrection. " Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an regards to all, jagbir [1] Main Entry: es•o•ter•ic Pronunciation: " e-s & -'ter-ik, -'te-rik Function: adjective Etymology: Late Latin esotericus, from Greek esOterikos, from esOterO, comparative of eisO, esO within, from eis into; akin to Greek en in - more at IN 1 a : designed for or understood by the specially initiated alone <a body of esoteric legal doctrine -- B.

The reading of the 18 Puranas is to be concluded with this Purana which contains a description of the coronation of Rajarajesvari. www.kamakoti.org/hindudharma/part14/chap5.htm " To make up for the imperfect performances in this age of Kali, which is noted for the prevalence of sin and delinquency on the part of the people in doing their duty, there is no protective mantra except the repetition of this (Lalita) Sahasranama. To a thousand names of Vishnu a single name of Shiva is preferred. To a thousand names of Shiva a single name of Devi preferred . . . Therefore, it should be repeated daily to ward off the sins of the Kali age. The ignorant do not recognise this hymn of Devi as the best. Some devote themselves to the names of Vishnu and others to the names of Shiva. Rarely one in this world is devoted to the names of Lalita. It is by repeating the names of other deities in hundreds of thousands of births that faith is generated to repeat the names of Sri Devi. Just as it is in the last of all his births that a person devotes himself to Srividya, so it is that the repetition of this Sahasranama is taken by him, whose birth is the last.
