Your life-mission is absolute dedication of all your faculties to the Lord, and not to be
curious to know how He is to make use of you. It is not for nothing that He has hidden from our
view His higher purposes. Our little mind cannot reason out the meanings of events which He
brings to pass. So He does not take off the veil nor need we be curious to know. Surrender
yourself to Him completely. He has already chosen you and He will give you commissions from
time to time. Carry them out unselfishly and

my knowledge of ayurvedam yoga

He has not the idea of Bhokta, Bhoga and Bhogya (enjoyer, enjoyment and enjoyable).
The eating of a mango will not produce any Samskara in him. He will not think again at a certain
time, “I ate a delicious mango at Mr. Raman’s bungalow last year”. He has not the Kama
Sankalpa. He is free from the Bhav, “Aham Bhokta” or “I am enjoyer”. He is aware of the
hunger. He is aware that hunger is the Dharma of the Pranamaya Kosha and that something or
the other should be thrust inside the stomach to appease t

Salutations to Lord Krishna, the Supreme Lord, who is the Indweller of our hearts, who is Existence Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, Bliss
Absolute,
who is the Soul of this universe, who bestows Immortality on His
devotees,
who is the source for everything and who took a human form for the
benefit
of the gods and His devotees, to destroy wickedness and to establish
righteousness.


I bow to that Para Brahman, the Supreme Self, from whom is born this mysterious universe, by whom alone it is upheld, and in who

« In The Vortex » is an energetic instrumental put together while toying with ideas leftover from « Informaëlstrom » and « Leftoverturned. »

The intent here was to communicate the experience of feeling enthusiastic and determined despite being faced with a demanding or overwhelming challenge.

The title refers to Esther Hicks' concept of the vortex, or to be more precise, to the experience of being in that vortex, a state of mind characterized by purposeful joy and focused forward motion.

Mental Tensions

Mental Tensions

Mental tension is the cause of the crimes in the world. Many diseases are also due to psychological imbalance, nervous strain and hypertension. In order to feel relaxed, some people, now-a-days, take tranquilisers, smoke marijuana or use LSD drugs but this does not provide them with a lasting relief. Rather, these things have harmful effects on man's mental faculties and they make him a slave of the urge to take them again and again. It has now been demonstrated that the best cour

This is an age-old question, as old as the world itself. The great Bhishma shed tears when
he was on his death-bed. When questioned why he cried, he replied that the Pandavas were great
devotees of the Lord and always abided by the laws of Dharma. Above all, the Lord was
constantly with them in the form of Krishna. And yet they underwent so much of suffering.
Some wicked persons do flourish in this world of hypocrisy, but it does not mean that
they are free from suffering. The really good souls do no

Don’t be afraid. Remember the saying, “Even this will pass away”. Write this on a piece
of paper in bold types and fix it on the wall in your room. Difficulties and troubles are
Agamapaya. They come and go. Read Verse 14 in Chapter 2 of Srimad Bhagavad Gita.
Become a hero. Stand firm as a rock. Live in the Centre. Live in Om. Live in Truth or Atma.
Nothing can shake you. Difficulties will make you more strong and endow you with more
endurance. Mysterious are His ways. Say, “Thy will be done”.

There is improvement. Your mental images are strong and steady now. Remember that
there is no barometer or thermometer to read your spiritual progress in the spiritual realm. You
are now giving only half of your mind to God. Collect the dissipated rays and give the full mind
to God. I assure you, “You will realize Him this very moment”.

At other times I feel that I am the Atma which is changeless and pure. I am looking for your Kripa which will certainly take me out of this ocean of troubles. Any instructions?

You are in the struggling stage. You are doubtless progressing. You will soon be
established in your real Svarup. Fear not. Plod on. Persevere. Don’t look back. March on
boldly. The goal is very near. Be a Sakshi of all your actions. You are Asanga, Akarta
(unattached, non-doer). Thou art that Immortal Atma!

However, it is claimed that saints like Sai Baba
and others, who have attained Moksha, do help and guide those devotees who seek their
blessings. How can we explain this apparent contradiction?

Realized souls, who wish to help the devotees even after they give up their physical
bodies, retain their astral bodies (Sukshma Sarira) for the sake of their eagerness to help those
that are in need of their help. But Jivanmuktas, generally, do not retain their astral bodies just in
order to help the aspirants

Observe Mouna for a couple of hours daily at any time that suits you. Try to speak little
at other times. Avoid unnecessary conversations. Don’t talk harsh words and obscene language.
Talk sweetly and gently. You must have perfect control over speech. Control over speech means
control of mind. The organ of speech, Vak Indriya, is a great distractor of the mind. Mouna
gives you peace. It removes anxieties and quarrels. It develops your will power. It conserves
energy. It reduces the force of Sankalpa

Nations often interact on a basis of mistrust as well.It is as if people don't feel they have enough time to trust; they don't have the time it takes to develop that level of trust.

You must be frank and as simple as a child. Then only you will get the divine light. You
will grow spiritually. Even if it is a horrible crime, you must admit it before a Guru. Then only
you will get his sympathy and protection. By admitting your faults before others, you remove the
effects of bad actions. It serves as a Prayaschitta or expiatory action.

Nobody can give me a satisfactory answer.If men kill each other, it is sin; they need not. But, animals cannot live without killing the other animals for food. What do you say? We are anxious for your opinion.

God’s love for the created universe knows no bounds; He cannot be held responsible for
the experiences of created beings. God does not punish or reward anyone in a personal way; it is
one’s own actions, sinful or good, that works as the cause of experience here.

Importance of a Sadgurudev

Every one has his own understanding level on each segment of material life where we most of the situations directly face and interact so the results come accordingly which we accept willingly and unwillingly both but since we see the results of happenings by our gross eyes thus we find no options except taking them as they come.
Whereas in spiritual life on finding truth of divine knowledge and about God which are much hidden and the base to believe is one’s own experiences on the sector he wor

Concentration increases by curtailing your wants and desires, by observing Mouna for
two hours daily, by remaining in seclusion in a quiet room for one or two hours daily, by
practicing Pranayam, by prayer, by increasing the number of sittings in meditation in the evening
and at night, by Vichar, etc.

How can I control my anger?

Q: How can I control my anger?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Anger comes out of your love for perfection. Create some space for imperfection around you. Make a list of all the things you consider to be wrong. Then have people around you do everything on that list! When you get angry, just observe that sensation. Observe how your teeth are clenching and how the mind becomes. Take a few long deep breaths and see if it changes. However, I have no experience, since I myself have never had this problem. So my
