Moon -Exaltation

[Guest guest]

Hare Rama Krsna

 

Respected Ramanarayanan ji,

Namaskar.

I could not access the groups and my mail for quite some time. I have missed your valuable insights.

I have always wondered when it was suggested that one form of remedy for cursed Chandra, matula shaapa is singing. Is it when the singing is soulful and emotional and directed at the Divine( which gives anirvachaniya ananda and also is the best of performances than on a stage) that the offering becomes 'Soma Rasa' fit to be offered to the Divine?I think this transformation can best be seen in M.S's music, how the appeal and the rendering changed from being scientifically, aesthetically brilliant to emotionally touching and have spiritual connotations.. The tamil word ' layich(u)i' can be a coarse attempt at describing it.

 

Warmest Regards,

With immense gratitude,

 

Nalini

SARVAM GYANANANDAMAYAMAUM GURUBYO NAMAH ....cotd....According to a legend Soma-juice was brought to earth by an eagle(Makara navamsa) from a secret place in the world of Gandharvas. Soma is considered as the most coveted possession of the seeker-sacrificer that could be offered to the Lord. The offering makes the offerer feel fulfilled.Siva is Mahakaala. Siva adorns Moon. Moon is mana. We often say that we do not have time at our disposal. This indirectly means that we do not have the mind to go about doing the job too! Kaala daana is what is considered as the most important sacrifice. This however puts forth the condition the involvement/ offering of mana/Moon is important/imperativ e. Mana which is considered as the source of delight needs to be prepared and sufficiently baked in the kiln of askesis/tapasya and fully liberated from tamas and

rendered pliant for only a resilient system can yield the necessary 'rasa' for offering to the Lord.Gayathri is considered as the measure of Kala. Involved singing is advised while offering the Kala. The butter that rises from within when the mind is churned needs to be offered to the Lord. Exaltation of Moon hints at selfish and temporary enjoyment while refined chandra is the Soma which qualifies the jeeva to attain the gopi bhava for partaking in the exchange of 'rasa'.As usual the mail is lengthy - though in two parts. i shall stop here.Best wishes.May Mother Bless.Astrologically & spiritually yours,p.s.ramanarayanan.Vedic Astrologyandhe aling@ s.com, "sree88ganesha" <sree88ganesha@ ...> wrote:>> > SARVAM GYANANANDAMAYAM> AUM GURUBYO NAMAH> > Dear Shri Lalit Mishra ji,> > Namaste.
