Conquering anger

A devotee at kauai adheenam master course suggested beautiful technique for conquering hatred that one might have with ppl close to us when they behave instinctively.

I tried it on someone who was really irritable and it really worked. The tantra is simple, place a flower against a smiling photograph of the person irritating you and mentally say "I love you". The irritation goes away like a miracle and in its place love born out of understanding appears. It works like magic - try it out.

Thanks to padmaja patel for sharing this beautiful technique of quelling the instinctive mind. One should note that anger is of the lower chakras (vitala) and love and understanding is of the higher chakras of anahat and visuddha and by practice of this simple and elegant technique we are in effect achieving the goals of our existence on earth - living and loving fellow men by staying in touch with oneself and functioning in the higher chakras.

The way of the realized ones

It's amazing the way realized souls live and speak ... Just read this from Himalayan Academy website

Chellappar never spoke in the third person. He spoke always to himself and in the present. He never did or said anything to benefit or reform others. Everyone who was present before him learnt to take in whatever suited him. It was only after many days that the truth would become apparent. There was no third person or second person that he saw in his life, for him to speak to a third party or to address another. He dwelt in himSelf and spoke to HimSelf and that Self was the Universal Self. He never played any drama, or enacted miracles.

"He was floating in this lighted world of Oneness-Sivosarvam --and everyone called him mad. He had no followers and kept no account of his activites--no money, no possessions, no conventional behavior. He was a spark of divine radiance. He lived and moved as an ordinary humble man with eyes, ears, hands and legs like any other passerby, and thus did he pass away into Supreme Silence.

(Tamil Script)

Bliss :)

Simshumbisi 


Thoughts are blobs, small bubbles which pop up before they either remain and vanish there in the mind or are converted into words or actions. We are often not conscious of the thoughts which we are about to say. Generally we do not wait to see if the thought that appears - which is about to channel out into a sound from the throat is going to be beneficial for oneself and for people around or not.

Just went through a situation where I was able to focus on the things that mattered most to me though there were many thoughts and reactions trying to appear in the Strata of the mind, subconscious mind. That brings an interesting possibility - the power to choose which thoughts are important and which aren't. Which needs to be delivered, which needs to be dissolved, and which needs to go out on paper with a pen - and then get into fire during the Maha Vasana Daha Tantra.

If the mind can concentrate and choose and focus on what really needs to be done - it leads to a situation where the mind is calm and at bliss even if the surroundings are in chaos. For this to function effectively in the long term - and anytime on demand - its important to practice regular meditation so that - at will the sadhaka can enter the Simshumbisi State - described in the Shum language. One feels all spine in this state, seen from the third eye - it looks like a column of light litting up the spine and branching out at the top and the bottom.

Being in Simshumbisi it is very easy to recognize thought blobs - and decide whether they are important - whether they need to be acted upon - or not. Jai Ganapathi.

Karmic Energy


Off late im able to observe the flow of karmic energies between myself and the people I interact with, it can give me a signal in advance whether the flow is going to be harmonious or not and based on that take action. I dont know since when but this perception of the flow of energies has just appeared and has been helping me to keep the pranic flow harmoniously in many meetings with people.

Aum Namah Sivaya !

Blessings in disguise

Thanks to my toothache I'm now able to get up early everyday and work on my master course lessons. I had trouble getting up every morning early despite the alarm on my HTC. Used to snooze it every time.

A wisdom teeth has started giving me problems every day early morning. Severe pain when I'm asleep but goes away once I wake up and brush my teeth. Will take it as a symbolic blessing from lord Siva to make me consistent.

Time to beat inconsistency

Was watering the plants in the garden at my home, remembered a relative of mine venky mama who has hired a Mali (gardener) to maintain the garden at his place. His garden is beautiful when compared to mine. In mine the plants are almost struggling to stay alive everyday as my watering them has become irregular :) thx to my inconsistency :(

The thing I still need to learn from ppl like v. Mama is that consistency is the key. One of the biggest reasons which differentiate a mediocre from a top talent is simple - the latter has very clear goals imprinted well in his subconscious mind and works consistently to get there whereas the former is irregular in pursuing goals sometimes working hard sometimes losing focus on the goal gaining the same on something else etc.

In the past few weeks I am not living life the way I want to live. I have violated some yamas and niyamas. My master course studies have not been regular to my satisfaction, my habits are not falling in line with the principles of Hinduism, I'm facing failure. Though I am doing well in my job, I know I'm more than what I am currently. It's time I fall in line with the yamas and niyamas now, set clear goals, prioritize the same, set consequences if I fall out of line and beat inconsistency .... and beat karma itself......
