Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 SARVAM GYANANANDAMAYAM AUM GURUBYO NAMAH Dear Shri Aavesh ji, Namaste. i thank you for addressing the topic 'Chidambara Rahasya' to me too. Chitta is seen from 5th bhava. In kalapurusha jataka it contains the sign Simha ruled by Sun. The karaka for 5th is Guru who stand for aakasha. The 8th amsa of this 5th bhava is scorpio/vrischika(watery). The 8th bhava is considered as the gupta/rahasya bhava. It is here we see the debilitation of chandra taking place. The stillness of the Nataraja posture which we see is not stillness in reality but it is the height of velocity. It is said that Ganga Mayya wanted to see this Nrtya. It is for this specific reason that she as swarna vilva got down from the 'jata'. Is this a secret?! Let us go further. Vilva stands for praana. The tri-dala that is offered to the Lord stands for the activity of breathing - inhalation,retention and exhalation. Chandra that we talked about above indicates the mana which in layman's parlance stand for kaala(Sani is said to be the higher octave of chandra/Moon while Guru is considered to be the higher octave of Sun). Generally when a person has mind to do a particular job he usually finds time for the same. This is purely based on the likes and dislikes. This is based on the ego. This usually leads one to wrong directions. The soma which bestows nectar/amrita(undying - a + mrita) through the doors of Kaala acts as chandra the mana of the jiva. Kaala stands for limitation while Soma stands for that which cannot be limited. Soma is that Satya/Aakash/Space which can be reached when we transcend the limitations/boundaries of kaala. From this we can understand that Sani blocks Soma. In other words Sani allows Soma to function as chandra with prescribed time limits. This is akin to the state where we find dead bodies floating( or pushed under) in undying jeeva nadi Ganga! Chidamabara Rahasya calls for this transformation of kaala chakra to dik chakra. Now coming back to the statement that chandra is debilitated in vrischika, we understand that the 8th amsa(rahasya) of the 5th bhava(chit+ambaram) allows this transcendence. What is the secret in Chidambaram? To the right of Maata Sivakamasundari we have the Lord Nataraaja. To His right we have 5 vertically lined swarna vilva(ganga). Vilva stands for prana which cannot be seen(a-drista/rahasya). Praana stands for sustenance(Ganga Mayya's heart is big indeed). 5 numbers stand for the pancha praana which are considered the prathama karakas. Praana maya kosha stands in between annamaya kosha and manomaya kosha. Using the 5th bhava if the cobwebs of manomaya kosha are dusted(through guru mantra) the unrealized ordinary breathing slows down to give the benefit of attention of the praana ganga that is flowing within. When the mind quietens the breathing steps across(transcends) the manomaya kosha making the japa now ajapa! The dance of Nataraaja is seen here in this chit+ambaram at the point of time when the ordinary breathing percolates through manomaya/sabdamaya kosha to bringforth 'PRAANANAADA'. Let me stop here as the mail is becoming lengthier. i am sorry if i had bored you. Best wishes. May Mother Bless. Astrologically & spiritually yours, p.s.ramanarayanan.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Resp Sri P.S.ramanarayanan Ji, Namaskaar, I think God has sent u so that we can learn more, It's quite right about Chidambara (Chitta + Ambar - akash or sky) , I have some confusions that i think i should ask - 1. When the mind quietens the breathing steps across(transcends) the manomaya kosha making the japa now ajapa! The dance of Nataraaja is seen here in this chit+ambaram at the point of time when the ordinary breathing percolates through manomaya/sabdamaya kosha to bringforth 'PRAANANAADA'. My experience is slight different, when mind (Mana) quietens, the chetna (consciousness) transcedence, but it's under the mother divine, unless she blesses, this transcednce is blocked, I had chanted crores of the mantras, but it didnt happen, i was curious to know what's there in the other side of the coin, what is cross the border, finally, it happened one day, it happened spontaneously..., now ajapa and japa are one and same thing to me .. I dont understand kosha theory much and i also think the prana has no importance in spirituality, prana and pranayaam is as superficial and physical as any organ of the body in the sense of the spirituality, pls. guide me more. I think koshas are the level of attachements to various instincts .. where our chetna is stuck, m not sure, telling from my experience. expecting to know more from u.. pls. tell us more. regards, Lalit.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Dear Lalit/ Ramanarayanan, Pardon my interruption, but are you sure that the "Chit" in Chidambaram refers to Chitta (mind of feelings). I would think it refers to the Chiti shakti or Kundalini shakti. I would translate the word as one whose apparel is pure energy. That is why he is described as one who is moving and one who is motionless, one who is distant as well as one who is near, one in whom all reside but the one who is out side all (creation). Of course my knowledge in matters religious is not very deep.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Resp Sri Chandrashekhar Ji, You are both a great astrologer and a sanskrit scholar, also like a guru to me, i have leant a lot from u as well as from Baqaya Sir. So, it will be a stupidity for me to argue anything with u, however, i want to express what i understand and visualize, pls. correct me where i m going wrong, I also request Aavesh Sir to tell me where i m wrong. One universal chetna or conciousness is infused in every particle of the world, u can feel it both at micro and macro level, this is the one to which u said premodial energy, this energy is a living energy unlike what some schools say "Jar", all is chitanya to a sadhaka , she is my mother divine. Within the body, same is available in various forms, before the state of uninion with univesal chetna, we only feel this energy or chetna in fragmented manner, this is the leela of lalita, same energy works like kundalini and chitta shakit of mind, mind's chitta is a node to universal chetna, this is how we think, how we receive thoughts, how we get inspirations from the grahas etc.., when kundalini and chitta unites, we get a feeling of getting mingled into universal energy. once or twice it happened to me, so all i want to tell is both the interpretitions are correct, difference lies in the angle wherefrom we loot at it, top to bottom or bottom to top. What is in shastra, may be Sri Ramanarayanan ji may tell us. What is yet to discover is how brian, oxygen, thoughts and soul is interlinked in body, this is what krishna left for others, this is what buddha didnt understand and this is what aadi shankra has not explained. i dont know about other enlightened branded names who spend their life in doing seminars but cant discover anything new, this is the one of the biggest challange in spirituality. regards,Lalit.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Dear Lalit, I can understand what you mean. But there is certainly a distinction between Intelligence and consciousness. One is the chitta and another is the chit. or at least that is what I think the words mean. By the way the energy in Kundalini, also called Chiti Shakti, is distinct and apart from what is called Chetana. I am sure you have read Lalita sahasranaama wherein much is told about this aspect.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 SARVAM GYANANANDAMAYAM AUM GURUBYO NAMAH Dear Shri Chandrashekhar ji & Shri Lalit Mishra ji, Namaste. i am happy to receive the responses from you in this regard. i also appreciate the efforts taken to translate ambaram as apparel and chit as chiti sakthi. May i write a few lines!!!? Swarna vilva, Ajapa Nrtya, dynamic stillness(Nataraja),the sabha/assembly, presence of Lord Govindaraja in lying posture, presence of Shri Aanjaneya in standing posture, presence of Shri Yogeswar Patanjali and Shri Vyaghrapaadar,the dance by MaaKaali, the temple structure, the poojaris/pandits/brahmanas of the temple are all some of the various special features among others in the Chidambaram Temple. An explanation for these special features will call for an effort to write a book. The chiti sakthi brings forth the role of Mother. Siva the epitome of stillness/existence and awareness indicates the Sat and Chit while Mother the epitome of awareness and energy indicates the Chit and Bliss. This wonderful combination of SivaSakthi Ayikya Swaroopa/Sat-chit-aananda swaroopa, results in the cosmic dance which gives the dual effect of stillness and dynamism separately and together too! The dwadasa divisions of the zodiac is directly linked to this cosmic dance. The sabha or assembly gives hint about the space divisions. This indirectly gives hints about the role of Guru(aakasha). If we stop with the explanation of 'chiti sakthi' we may be in a position to undertstand the space divisions and 'chidambaram'. We need to move further in order to understand the rahasya portion which has the intention of explaining the concepts of time and time divisions. The 5 vertical lines Swarna Vilva which is kept behind the screens and claimed as rahasya indicate the 'panchanga' or the 5 limbs of time. Time is invisible and eternal and is directly linked to the breath/swara. The other meaning of tri-dala vilva(other than the one given in the previous mail) is the tri-kala(past, present and future - identified as 9,1 and 5 in the space divisions). How do we understand Nataraja as SivaSakthi Ayikya swaroopa? How do we understand the principles of dynamic stillness? Here in comes the importance of the quietude of 'chit'. In order to understand the space divisions we need the co-operation of the energy of 'chit' and the blessings of Guru. From the aakasha/ashareera(beyond the limitations of body)the help is extended through 'diksha'(Guru mantra). This mantra of the Guru has the highest potency to trace space within the realm of mind/chit. This means acceptance of Guru and extending reverence is called for here. Immense faith on the Guru and clear conviction brings forth the required platform in the manomaya kosha for the breath to transcend. This means the manosarovar will now contain the flowers of awareness and reverence. Now the breeze flows across. Breathing/the existential kriya (chiti in action)gains enough motivation to move ahead. The place where the transcendence takes place is where the dance called as 'ajapa' is born. Why should this ajapa dance be given so much importance? It is because only here we can understand the concept of space and space divisions. In other words this 'ajapa' is the indicator or mark for us to understand the activated 'chiti sakthi'. As already said the Swarna vilva speaks about the concept of time and time divisions which are collectively called as 'panchanga'. Guru represents the space divisions while Sani represents the time divisions. The time taken for both these planets to come back to their original starting points of their journey(maintaining the distance between them in tact) is 60 years. Though these two planets treat each other neutrally Sani has the capacity to debilitate Guru. In order that the role of Guru is not lost sight of these 60 years are called as 'jupiterian' years. The pachakadi sambandha is worth remembering here. Breath+awareness+reverence = Prana. This means that Prana is the universal set containing breath as subset in it! It was addressing this prana(rudra aaradhana) that King Kowsika transformed himself into Sage Viswvmitra. The quietude of chitta/chit/mind plus the beatitude of ajapa nrtya are the required qualifications/conditions which enable one to understand the concept of space and time divisions which forms the basis for further revelations. Pancha kosha is the panchavati(5 trees)where the Rama-Sita-Lakshmana reside. Let us pray to Sage Agastya to bless us also. i think you will agree that the concept of Guru and reverential approach to Guru, the Guru prasada viz., mantra and quietude of chitta/mind are essential for understanding and facilitating the mainfestation of 'chiti sakthi'. i am extremely sorry for the length of the mail. Best wishes. May Mother Bless. Astrologically & spiritually yours, p.s.ramanarayanan.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Resp Sri P.S. RamanarayananJi, Thanx for showering ur knowedge on us, I w'd request you to elaboate this mantra of u - " Sani has the capacity to debilitate Guru " . Pls. elaborate it sothat we can understand the reasoning behind Guru's debilitation in capricorn. Recently people have started taking Saturn as a spiritual planet, i was also thinking like others but now i think, saturn is more a planet that inspires people to become cunning and cheat sothat they can get punishments in future, is that a reason why Guru gets debilitated in saturn's sign. Also tell us pls, what impact there will be for a person whose saturn is exalted/debilitated in 9'th house of his chart, i mean in the seat of the Guru, and pls. also let us know that what if Shasha Yoga is formed in one's lagna, how the person will be. It's a good opportunity to learn some key things from u. on the other part of time etc... i w'd say a sadhaka knows there is no importance of time, time dosnt exist for him. I know it.. but i enjoy being a part of time that gets elapsed .... regards, Lalit.

However understanding Koorma avatar can help a lot in understanding the role of Sani. Meanwhile the group members and gurus of the group may please consider explaining as to why a graha gets exalted in one rasi and debilitated in other rasi. i am sorry if i had caused trouble in asking this. i shall join later.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Dear Ramanarayanan, This is a beautiful interpretation of the Lord as Natraj. I had one thought as to whether the 5 lines on the Vilva Patra do not refer to the Lord's five faces and in turn the five Maha bhootas and could there be a relation to the space behind the curtain which is shown to the devotees as the Chidambara rahasyam, as it will then be revelation of creation of the Universe itself of which the five mahatatwas are a major part. This is perhaps the Rahasya that is one has to see beyond the idol to understand the true for of the Lord within whom the entire space resides. If my memory serves me right the Lord's Linga in Chidambaram is in Akasha form, as it is in different forms at different places. If that be true then the Idol of Natraj maybe referring to the dance of creation of the Lord as He who is formless expresses himself as the creator of this Universe of ours, by conjoining as Shiva with Shakti. Of course, as I said earlier, I am not an authority on things religious and could be entirely of track. So if I am wrong, I am sure the learned, in matters religious, will pardon me. Take care, Chandrashekhar. sree88ganesha wrote: SARVAM GYANANANDAMAYAM AUM GURUBYO NAMAH Dear Shri Chandrashekhar ji & Shri Lalit Mishra ji, Namaste. i am happy to receive the responses from you in this regard. i also appreciate the efforts taken to translate ambaram as apparel and chit as chiti sakthi. May i write a few lines!!!? Swarna vilva, Ajapa Nrtya, dynamic stillness(Nataraja),the sabha/assembly, presence of Lord Govindaraja in lying posture, presence of Shri Aanjaneya in standing posture, presence of Shri Yogeswar Patanjali and Shri Vyaghrapaadar,the dance by MaaKaali, the temple structure, the poojaris/pandits/brahmanas of the temple are all some of the various special features among others in the Chidambaram Temple. An explanation for these special features will call for an effort to write a book. The chiti sakthi brings forth the role of Mother. Siva the epitome of stillness/existence and awareness indicates the Sat and Chit while Mother the epitome of awareness and energy indicates the Chit and Bliss. This wonderful combination of SivaSakthi Ayikya Swaroopa/Sat-chit-aananda swaroopa, results in the cosmic dance which gives the dual effect of stillness and dynamism separately and together too! The dwadasa divisions of the zodiac is directly linked to this cosmic dance. The sabha or assembly gives hint about the space divisions. This indirectly gives hints about the role of Guru(aakasha). If we stop with the explanation of 'chiti sakthi' we may be in a position to undertstand the space divisions and 'chidambaram'. We need to move further in order to understand the rahasya portion which has the intention of explaining the concepts of time and time divisions. The 5 vertical lines Swarna Vilva which is kept behind the screens and claimed as rahasya indicate the 'panchanga' or the 5 limbs of time. Time is invisible and eternal and is directly linked to the breath/swara. The other meaning of tri-dala vilva(other than the one given in the previous mail) is the tri-kala(past, present and future - identified as 9,1 and 5 in the space divisions). How do we understand Nataraja as SivaSakthi Ayikya swaroopa? How do we understand the principles of dynamic stillness? Here in comes the importance of the quietude of 'chit'. In order to understand the space divisions we need the co-operation of the energy of 'chit' and the blessings of Guru. From the aakasha/ashareera(beyond the limitations of body)the help is extended through 'diksha'(Guru mantra). This mantra of the Guru has the highest potency to trace space within the realm of mind/chit. This means acceptance of Guru and extending reverence is called for here. Immense faith on the Guru and clear conviction brings forth the required platform in the manomaya kosha for the breath to transcend. This means the manosarovar will now contain the flowers of awareness and reverence. Now the breeze flows across. Breathing/the existential kriya (chiti in action)gains enough motivation to move ahead. The place where the transcendence takes place is where the dance called as 'ajapa' is born. Why should this ajapa dance be given so much importance? It is because only here we can understand the concept of space and space divisions. In other words this 'ajapa' is the indicator or mark for us to understand the activated 'chiti sakthi'. As already said the Swarna vilva speaks about the concept of time and time divisions which are collectively called as 'panchanga'. Guru represents the space divisions while Sani represents the time divisions. The time taken for both these planets to come back to their original starting points of their journey(maintaining the distance between them in tact) is 60 years. Though these two planets treat each other neutrally Sani has the capacity to debilitate Guru. In order that the role of Guru is not lost sight of these 60 years are called as 'jupiterian' years. The pachakadi sambandha is worth remembering here. Breath+awareness+reverence = Prana. This means that Prana is the universal set containing breath as subset in it! It was addressing this prana(rudra aaradhana) that King Kowsika transformed himself into Sage Viswvmitra. The quietude of chitta/chit/mind plus the beatitude of ajapa nrtya are the required qualifications/conditions which enable one to understand the concept of space and time divisions which forms the basis for further revelations. Pancha kosha is the panchavati(5 trees)where the Rama-Sita-Lakshmana reside. Let us pray to Sage Agastya to bless us also. i think you will agree that the concept of Guru and reverential approach to Guru, the Guru prasada viz., mantra and quietude of chitta/mind are essential for understanding and facilitating the mainfestation of 'chiti sakthi'. i am extremely sorry for the length of the mail. Best wishes. May Mother Bless. Astrologically & spiritually yours, p.s.ramanarayanan.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Dear Ramanarayanan, You have asked a question that is very relevant and I do not know why asking of the question should trouble anyone. I am sure you have a lot of answers that give umpteen explanation of why a graha gets exalted on some rasi or other. These vary from saying that a king gets strong in house of the army general to explain Sun's getting exaltation in Aries to every other flight of imagination. Only there is no uniformity of application of the theories across planets. My personal opinion is that the grahas are at their brightest when in those rasis where they are said to be exalted and dullest in the rasis where they are said to be debilitated. I know that I invited being ridiculed for this opinion, but let me assure you that I am not alone in this view and that there are astronomical reasons for the aspects of planets too, though they are explained allegorically. Take care, Chandrashekhar. sree88ganesha wrote: SARVAM GYANANANDAMAYAM AUM GURUBYO NAMAH Dear Shri Lalit Mishra ji, Namaste.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Yes it must be as simple as said! Thats the reason The Moon is never 'dull' when gets to Vrishabha rashi! It must be avoiding Amavasya-Shukla Pratipada day with Vrishabha rashi. Yes, when The Sun is very bright in summer and in Mesha for North Hemisphere it should be consider as 'bright' for South Hemisphere as well although it may be winter from them!
