Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 If you feel like that immediately after praying...it is a different story. If you pray in the morn and feel feverish and pains in the eve, then either it is work place (Airconditioner/climate control) induced or from the symptoms, might be a strain of malaria or similar illness. , mohan padmanabhan <mohankp23 wrote: > > om, > > i am glad my application to be part of the movement was approved. thanks to sri tripurasudari matha's kindness. > > with some reading and suggestionsand advice from a person conducting poojas on devi bhubaneswari matha, and 'navavarna pooja', i have been doing 'khadagmala " japa for the last two weeks. > > however, i find that i seem to feel pain in my joints and feverish, especially, for a short while in the evening. i shall be grateful if somebody could enlighten me on this. > > i remain in devi's footsteps, namaskaram > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 When I went to see Mother Meera, I hoped in part that being in her presence would help alleviate pain. Of course, it did not, but it made me more aware of it. Afterwards I got her book " Answers I " and read her perspective on suffering. In many ways I feel she is insensitive and not helpful. But this one quote I thought rang true: Q: What is your attitude to suffering in the body? A: Pain belongs to the body, so it must be accepted. I suppose one could go in a multitude of directions with that. For me it re-evokes the common sense. While my attitude may change many many things, my body is a part of this life and will have its own experience. I cannot pray my way out of everything. Sometimes I must rest, I must eat, I must accept medical care when needed. Especially as a regular person, with job, home, family and a deeply flawed practice, I need to take care of myself as a regular person must. I cannot stop in flu season and spend 8 hours a day meditating and reading scripture. I have commitments and responsibilities. I may admire those who devote their lives to spiritual practice, but that is not my life. It helps if I improve my spiritual practice, because my attitude in general is better. But that doesn't relieve me of having this human body with all its pleasures and pains. namaste, pr , " ganpra " <ganpra wrote: > > If you feel like that immediately after praying...it is a different > story. > > If you pray in the morn and feel feverish and pains in the eve, then > either it is work place (Airconditioner/climate control) induced or > from the symptoms, might be a strain of malaria or similar illness. > > , mohan padmanabhan > <mohankp23@> wrote: > > > > om, > > > > i am glad my application to be part of the movement was approved. > thanks to sri tripurasudari matha's kindness. > > > > with some reading and suggestionsand advice from a person > conducting poojas on devi bhubaneswari matha, and 'navavarna pooja', > i have been doing 'khadagmala " japa for the last two weeks. > > > > however, i find that i seem to feel pain in my joints and feverish, > especially, for a short while in the evening. i shall be grateful if > somebody could enlighten me on this. > > > > i remain in devi's footsteps, namaskaram > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 hi, tks for the quote. i have been thinking about it and i can think of the great saint ramana maharishi, who 'endured' pain. namaskar mohan prainbow61 <paulie-rainbow wrote: When I went to see Mother Meera, I hoped in part that being in her presence would help alleviate pain.
