Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Dear Narsimha, It's not always sadhana that one is required to do, along with sadhana good acts are required to do, as an obious result changes within a person should reflect, he should do good and think good then only a sadhana will be usefull. I have seen people who do even 5000 mantras in a day but next moment behaves with cruality thinking their mantras will balance their deeds. It's a prolonged blind belief that repeating mantras for particular times will surely do good, it's wrong, it will do only if one's heart is clean. I need to do a mantra only for ones or twice if necessary and it works to expectation, so, it's not the count but it's the intent is more important. regards, Lalit. , " Narasimha Rao " <pvr wrote: > > Dear Sri Kursija, > > You make a good point - without basic comforts in life, it is > difficult to perform spiritual sadhana.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Dear Narsimha, Regarding cleaning of the heart, I wish to share one of my experiences, that i had during my recent visit to Kedarnath. After some years,I started knowing that i have a certain level of impurity within me and it was blocking my Vishudha Chakra area. It has been painful but it was not at my hand, I had to tolerate it, like cancer. Whenever I was trying to go deeper it I was blocked, remaining thirsty. Somehow, moter blessed me and skipping the vishuddha chakra, I was able to bring my senses to agya chakra to chant " Hreeng " , still, i was not knowing what is function and connection of " Hreeng " with mother divine. You know mantra and thoughts were different, all was assumption to feel good, it took some 12 - 13 yrs in this stage, this navartri only i could understand what the " Hreeng " is. Mother shown it's connection to her and also the function. It contains 3 types of shaktis, I mean, three shaktis are integrated in it - Mahakali, Mahalakschhami and Mahasaraswati. this is what i was shown by mother divine so, i need not chant various mantras thinking this one is for maa sharada and this one is for maa lakschhami. but vishuddha chakra's problem was still persisiting. To reach the Kedarnath, u need to walk 14 KM from Gauri Kund, First 7 KM's i covered almost in 2 hrss. I had a small attack like ulcer some 3 yrs back, when i reached 9'th KM's stop, I started feeling burning sensation in my stomach, It was in the muscles. The pain was just beginning... my 2 friends were behind me by 50 mtrs. I thought if problem increases, they will suffer unnecessary, so, I kept going. As the pain was increasing, my outer senses started contracting and i was like going within my mind, chanting " Om Namah Shivaya " . I stopped also twice for a while. The pain and chanting was in sync. and all of sudden, effortlessly, I was able to sit within the Vishudha Chakra and chant " Om Namah Shivaya " . I can do same while posting this mail to you. So, what i understood is, in sadhana, everything is not at our hand, sometimes, God loves and blesses you, so, cleaning comes from his side. It happens in just a fraction of second, but how long it will take to happen, only God knows. The best part is when i reached KedarNathm the pain was over, I never took any medicine as of now, I m healthy like earlier. As i m not so good in english, I m not able to express exactly what i felt or came across. hope u w'd understand. surrender does count, but before one should have dare to reject the God also, these were two stages in my life. I never compromised nor feared the God, I loved and got his love. regards, Lalit. , " Narasimha Rao " <pvr wrote: > > Dear Sri Lalit, > > > I have seen people who do even 5000 mantras in a day but next > moment > > behaves with cruality thinking their mantras will balance their > deeds. > > > > It's a prolonged blind belief that repeating mantras for > particular > > times will surely do good, it's wrong, it will do only if one's > heart > > is clean. > > If one's heart is already clean absolutely, no further effort is > needed.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Dear Lalit ji, Thank you for recounting your experience! > So, what i understood is, in sadhana, everything is not at our hand, > sometimes, God loves and blesses you, so, cleaning comes from his > side.

All we can do to ensure quick results is to intensify our sadhana and develop the sense of surrender. Actually, one could even argue that not just the fruits of sadhana but the sadhana itself is not in our hands and we do sadhana only when She wants us to. That may be true at a level too, but there is nothing to discuss or do if one adopts that viewpoint! If we believe that there is something called " free will " at a level, then we can talk about exercising it to become closer to god (i.e. purify ourselves). Hopefully, I am writing all this as She willed me to and hopefully She wills a few people reading this thread to intensify their sadhana and make quick progress. > As i m not so good in english, I m not able to express exactly what i > felt or came across. hope u w'd understand. Even one good in English cannot express these matters clearly in vaikhari! The matters we are discussing have so many angles to them and so vast in scope that it is is very difficult to express exactly. Two people with identical views may end up looking as though they are opposing each other. I do understand you and my respectful salutations to you and other members!

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Dear Lalitji, But I am very much disullsioned by many so called Spiritual Masters and Preachers of today. Most of them are enveloped in Maya and they preach but dont practise.They wish to mantain their goody-goody image and do not wish to be tainted or blemished. These Masters should have come out with their knowledge of interpreting shlokas and put to shame, to those who misinterpret them. People like me have to sort this out my my half baked knowledge of Sanskrit, though being from Traditional Hindu family's we understand the normal Sanskrit words and do not have to learn them for day to day use, but grammatical knowledge is missing within us, and then we look upon these Masters for some retreat. But it does not come, for they do not wish to spoil their images. But they dont understand that if You wish to wear the Crown of the King then you will have to make enemies in Life, in this process. So what ? How many good friends does one have anyway otherwise too ? Ask Rs.10000- temporary Loan from so called friends, then one will come to know, how many real friends one has. If you wish to acquire Pearls from underneath the shallow waters, then you have to get your skin and clothes wet. These people can never acquire the best venerated places in society with this attitude of appearing goody goody and mantaining a clean image. I do not believe in vegetable preaching which is not practised. Chandrasekharji, Pradeepji and also Narsimharaoji have all let us Hindus down with their silence and not coming out forward with their knowledge when most needed, not just today, but previously also I have seen their silence on many occasions when they should have come forward. But they just preach without practise. Mr. Prabodh who is very much inimical towards me, I dont mind, I would rather have him on my side then these other preachers, because he has used his knowledge in the right direction for which I have several times thanked him, and do so once again. for actually showing us the reality. It is better to have criticisers near you who will make you a Kohinoor, eventually by removing all the dirt from ones self, rather than people who just talk and talk about God and Shastras and how one should live, without actually showing this by action. You have brought the goneby episode to the notice of people at the risk of facing wrath from the psuedo secularists, which you did face, but at least you have had the guts to get stained in the process. This ounce of spiritual action is 1000 times better than actionless quintals of spiritual talks. Hope my point is made. I am not impressed with these spiritual talks on board made by few. they will always remain mediocre in my eyes whatever lofty discussions they come up with. At times I just play upto them with sweet words, to keep them away from me, and not because they demand respect. regards, Bhaskar. , " litsol " <litsol wrote: > > Dear Narsimha, > > While reading ur mails i can feel the inner sweetness u have, but i > have a weakness, I m very much uncomfortable with " Ji " and " Respect " . > > Pls. call me " Lalit " only, hearing " Lalit " by someone who is elder to > me, sounds lovely to me. > > Yes, You are true, mother wanted you to write and respond to this > thread, Very Soon, You will be participating more in groups to > inspire people towards sadhana. > > Thanx to You and to her also. > > regards, > Lalit. > > > > , " Narasimha Rao " <pvr@> wrote: > > > > Dear Lalit ji, > > > > Thank you for recounting your experience! > > > > > So, what i understood is, in sadhana, everything is not at our > > hand, > > > sometimes, God loves and blesses you, so, cleaning comes from his > > > side.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Bhaskar Ji, Namaskaar, You will see, practical, proven, pro-active and flaw less spirituality. there are streams of vishnu and rudra. vishnu never ignores his responsibilities nor rudra, both functions in sync. They all will come up to do their roles and to inspire people in their own ways. regards, Lalit. , " Bhaskar " <bhaskar_jyotish wrote: > > > Dear Lalitji, > > But I am very much disullsioned by many so called Spiritual Masters > and Preachers of today.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Dear Bhaskar Namaste > Mr. Prabodh who is very much inimical towards me, I dont mind, > I would rather have him on my side then these other preachers, > because he has used his knowledge in the right direction for which > I have several times thanked him, and do > so once again. for actually showing us the reality. You are again wrong! I am not at all inimical towards you or for that matter anybody on the group! Why should I be? I was, you can say, upset the way you take others for granted(at least I got the imression like that) and have 'my party' or 'his party' kind of attitude. It gives the impression that one must accept what Shree Bhaskar says or get ready to be attacked. Moreover, it is surprising to read that you dont want to reveal your identity as it is treated by many an act of arrogance and cowardice. How can there be serious discussions unless we know whom we are getting friendly with! On the one hand you talk of people's cowardice as they were not responding and on the other hand you under some foolish reason try to hide your identity! This is what I feel you are wrong at. When others do it (cowardice,trying to maintain image) you attack like anything but when it comes to your own turn you give all filmsy reasons to justify it. I am not preaching but feel that you can be little bit more subdued and remember that others will as well have their reasons to justify. Sharing knowledge I do not claim to know much about Jyotish or Sanskrit, but what ever I know I keep on sharing with others. Three years back when my mother was detected with breast cancer I wrote several mails of help to all the people who were/are scholar of Jyotish and related subjects. No body even bothered to suggest remedies. At that time I just started to learn jyotish and I was very optimistic about scholars helping me as I was very open and genuine in asking remedies to save my mother. Looking at this indifferent attitude of scholars I decided to do it myself. I started reading Granthas of ancient vidyas. Result was that I could prolong her stay by 11 months! That day I realised who is a scholar and how these people twist meanings of shlokas to suit their own theory. Now days Everybody is so near to Devi/Devata that you feel that all scholars are just one chakra short of Sashasrar! All scholars are highly spiritual and in coming few years we are likely to have assmebly of Kundalini Jagrut Sadhak! I hope you wont be one of them! Anyway, thanks for the company. Thanks a lot for your Time and Space.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Dear Prabodhji, Namaste. First let me clear one matter. You have spoken many times regarding this in last few days, which talks I wished to avoid. The " party " matter was revealed only for my supporters to let them know, that if required, I can tap the highest sources for disciplinary action, and that I am not just talking without any strength on my side. This was to let these good people know, that if some call has been given, then it is backing with some power which can be tapped. Regarding your statement " hiding my identify " . Yes one must never show off, or else in todays times, he lands in trouble. Today the poltitical situation and law and order in the country is such that, fake encounters are done, kidnappings are on the rise, anyone is killed anywhere while traveliing, on way to temple, in office, just anywhere anytime, without personal venedatta, but just one from a particular party may have axe to grind with another from another party, and to create trouble , if one knows that so n so is from such party, and soft target, he falls easy prey.I am a family person basically, and social person afterwards, inactive in social Life, except when situations strike us directly, otherwise not here to change to the world, but to change my own self. When Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, after best Z Class protection, were not spared, then who are we ? We are small fish. We can be slaughtered anytime. And since I am not a active worker, of my party, then why should I go around beating any drum ? I have never taken advantage of my position for even basic matters such as even book railway tickets in Quotas provided to us, nor ever slept in free rooms for boardoing provided to us in Secretariat when travelling to another city. My basic nature does not permit me to even have a cup of tea without giving back in return from whom tea is served. If I have salt in someones place (Orthodox thinking but so it is) I cannot go against that person, therefore I never have food even at anyones place. I do not try to create any position for myself where I may have to remain indebted to any person or give him opportunity to pressurise me for future favours of any type. I do not even meet my president or go to attend or receive VIPs or attend any meetings, then why should I come in picture and become soft target ? And I was invited for the posts, not that I went to anyone to give me any. They come to once, I rejected, after few years again they came to my house, opened a special Position for a big constituency, wanted me to become president of same, which I declined, due to lack of time and other such reasons, finally I agreed to become General secretary. You will not find my name anywhere in Maharashatra Circles, because I am not looking for any name or fame, but just to work silently without coming on screen or in picture. I have not even made any Visiting card for this purpose, Yes I get scared. Anyone may use my card for getting me in trouble which I wish to avoid. All my family members too are not knowing that I am afflitated to any Political party. Today anyone can take advantage and create trouble. It is better not to do anything with such matters. Hence there is no need for me to reveal anything to anybody. Matter Closed . Period. I am sorry about hearing of your experience at time of your mothers ill health. This is one of the reasons why I entered astrology. But you may not be interested in the same. Not all astrologers are bad. Maybe due to some reasons or fate you may not have found one, to respond to your call at time of your mother. I have felt this helplessness many times in my Life, and have come to a state now, where I treat submission to Gods will primarily, and astrological dependence, secondarily. Just day before, on Thursday my wife was arriving to Bombay from Calcutta mail, and she boarded the train on Thursday evening, within one hour she started cold tremors, her fever shot up, body went spasmodic, and yesterday early morning, was boarded off at Raipur, put on wheel chair and brought to Bombay by flight. I did not open her Kundli to check her Dasha or antardasha. I do that only once in 6 months for my family members, and rest of the time leave all to God and his mercy. I am not very close to any Devi or Devta, but I know Lord Shri Krishna is well aware of my day to day actions and keeps me showing His presence in many a way. So does Shri Hanuman Baba. Not because I am very good man, but maybe because I am childlike in front of Him and talk to him regularly without any pretensions. I am not one of those, who foresees his Kundalini Jagrun even within next 10-12 years. I am not ready for that state, don't think how it can be done in my case, because absolutely unfit for same, and in any case this is a personal matter, and no real Yogi with a Jagrut Kundalini reveals this. It is to be understood by communion with that man , when one realises, that this person is realised. And once a Kundalini rises, the person no more remains a sadhak, but surpasses that level. You need not have concern about me. I am not even a Sadhak and not yet begun on that path, so forget attending any assembly of such people, in this Life time. Kundalini Jagrun is not such a easy thing as is made out to be, It just does not concern only physical exercises to be a done in a Group, but consists mostly of a Life, led with Yama, Niyama, right ethical behaviours, proper Kriya Yoga, Regular meditation and constant proper action or inaction (Silence- Parihaara) done with good motive, persistently without breaks, with no letting loose to any sort of aberrations. I will never qualify for above, as of today. Thanks for a positive response. And hope you never misunderstand me.I shall not be able to reply any more mails of now, due to ill health in family, and also have to arrange finances for my daughters impending marriage a few months away.You know how difficult it is In India to marry ones daughter, and is a elaborate affair which needs all types of attention. Thank you for your patience for reading this long mail. best wishes, Bhaskar.
