Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Namaste Dear Ones, During yesterday's Chandi, as Swamiji was offering the usual prayer in Chap. 13, the thought came that the prayer covers much more than the physical temple, its inhabitants and families. When we join in the cyber worship, our homes are transformed into the Devi Mandir, and as such Swamiji is in each home offering these blessings so that all persons, family, friends or anyone visiting our Mandir are recipient of the blessing, along with the family lineage. And in viewing our bodies as temple, He is too in the temple of our heart our hearts blessing each one of us . Beloved Maa always says every home is a temple, how blessed are we. This thought caused me to return to the Chandi in the afternoon paying close attention to the business man and the King. The business man seems to suggest the body under separate or selfish "I"ness while the King can be seen as Knowledge of the Intrinsic Nature of Goddess which can only be received through the grace of pure devotion. Jai Maa Jai Swamiji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Namaste, Concerning the physical temple, it has become apparent that when practicing sadhanas such as the Chandi, ordinary speech then transforms into the coherent mouth peice of the Chandi, and just like a physical temple or the Devi Mandir, there is a sacred architecture expressed in the beauty, polarity and symmetry of the protein, nucleic acid, lipid and carbohydrate macro-molecules that form the building blocks of our cells, tissues, organs, organ systems etc. The golden ratio of 1.618etc. is often used in the construction of physical ancient temples such as Thirupathi, or the parthenon, or the great pyramid of Giza. Interestingly, as many researchers have duely reported, it seems we find this ratio, and fractal geometric principle elucidated by the structure and size of our neurons, microtubles, and right down into a strand of DNA in the nucleus of a cell, 34 A in diameter and 21 A in length which provides us with 34/21= 1.619047619, numbers in the fibbonacci series that approximate the golden ratio which mysteriously, like pi, or e, or plancks constant, may continue ad infinitum. It seems intuitively the process of the Prakriti/Nature of matter approximating the infinite qualities of the Purusha. Right down to the symmetrical, geometrical beauty of the proteins, and DNAs, that design their form and functions in terms of cell physiology, our cells may have been the inspiration for the temple architecture in which we perform worship, as metaphorical extentions of our the same principles of bodily form and function perhaps as a reminder that each individual is a " cell " functioning in part of a larger macrocosmic that comprises the divine.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Jai Maa!!! This post has opened new vista in our collective thinking, as we ponder into the greatest wonders of the Creator, Prakriti/Purusha and the everlasting entities in our conceptual world. If I recall correctly, the ideals of home construction, locations of the home altars, Homa Kunda, Garbha Griha of the temples from the North and South were usually dictated by older sutras. Some might have gone by the waysides, but many have continued to bless us all in the form of Vaastu Sastras, and the Chinese Feng Shui, in some form or the other. The classic Golden Ratio has been explained by many sages and mathematicians, and are still unresolved mysteries of our universe. But needless to add, the modern re-look into biochemistry, cell growth patterns, DNA chains and the energy flows have all one thing in common- Without HER wish and desires, NOTHING moves or happens. We might try and smash the atom, run up vast array of accelerators, fly upto the moon, stars and the endless space, study the intrinsic qualities of all living and extinct janmas, but what are we?- mere tools in the glorious hands of that Divine Power and in that mode I surrender to the call of the Mother. Just as Ramaprasad sang, "Sakkhali Tomar Ichha...." Much love and respectfully, babu krishnan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
