The Conspiracy Theory

Embodiments of Love!

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

                                            ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

It may look simple;

It may appear silly;

But that is how Nature conspires…..

After leaving Mumbai I was in Indore for one full year;

I had a Tamil calendar (panchangam) to show me the 1 st of every Tamil month, when I perform tharpanam-the monthly ritual offering water and sesame seeds to my departed elders

I had a thumb rule to perform on that day which states the day as Mesha Ravi, Rishabha Ravi etc.

There was no confusion;

I shifted to Ahmedabad;

I was on my routine.

One day my younger brother Balaji telephoned and shared that the Tharpanam ritual was to be done the next day;

I referred to the calendar; it suggested that day was “kanya Ravi”;

I was confused; I called the Pundit and asked why I should not perform the ritual on that particular day; he said that is should refer to the calendar and check for “ shada seethi punya kala” for Kanya month;

I was confused that now I could not decide with the help of calendar only to specify a day for that ritual; I thoroughly checked the internet; I could not find any guidance.

In my inner mind I have been searching for an answer.

Days passed by;

I had a method book for that ritual; during the marriage of my daughter my book was misplaced and has gone in somebody’s bag;

So I asked my brother to send a book from Chennai;

He sent;

I used for the last new moon day( Amavasya)

This day I had Dhanur Masa; I see Shada seethi mentioned ….

Shada seethi applicable for Midhuna Ravi, Kanya Ravi, Dhanur Ravi and Meena Ravi;

My confusion is resolved

I may not immediately have a clue as to what is the difference between the “ Ravi” phenomenon and “ shada seethi” phenomenon but I have the clarity as to when I should perform the ritual supposed to be on the 1^st of every Tamil month

Moral of the episode: Mind has the power to FIND the answer for any question, if it is genuine and sincere.

Ifs and Buts Vs Miracles—Part 2

Embodiments of Love!

My hair has grown longer. (That is the only thing that grows)

I wanted to have a haircut;

There was crowd;

I had to go to office;

So got out of saloon;

Went to the regular milk shop to purchase amul Tazaa; paid;

In front of me there was an old person with walking stick, possibly a schizophrenic, above 80 years;

He was trying to tell something;

There was no attention;

I saw him returning when I was collecting milk packets;

When I crossed, I asked him if I could get him to his house;

He again turned back;

I asked him what he wanted;

He murmured and I could make out that he was asking for milk;

I took him to the same shop;

The old man showed a cover, which is a 500 rupee note, torn miserably but laminated;

Shopkeeper refused to accept that note;

I asked the shopkeeper to give the man required milk; I paid for him;

If I would have had a haircut, I would not have come for milk this morning and probably would not have encountered the old man;

So do ifs and buts have value or no value?

Is this a miracle?

Is this not a miracle?

Ifs and Buts Vs Miracles--Part 1

Embodiments of Love!

On 18^th night, Santha’s friend asked her to name the alternative names of the Goddess of Learning-Saraswati;

We named a few;

We thought of every possible thing, taking cue from all the Upanishads, slogams and ashtotharams;

I and Santha slept thinking about Saraswati;

On 19^th morning we were watching zee Tamil, daily astrology;

That day was Chandraastama day for Thula rasi(I and Santha fall under this); 19^th was Sankatahara Chatuthy day also; 

Normaly Harikesanallur Shri Venkataraman advises to chant names of gods, special for that day; so he should have recommended us to chant the name of Ganesa;

But contrary to the regular practice, he advised us to pray Mata Saraswati; 

also he recommended us to read Sakalakalavalli Maalai of Kumara Guruparar, which venerates Goddess of learning, Mata Saraswati

Is this not a miracle?

Advaita-Non Dualism exemplified by Dualism

Embodiments of Love!

On earth 2 forces drive us:

1)    Love

2)   Fear

When we are afraid we pullback from life;

When we are in love we open up to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement and acceptance.

You might have heard the dictum—Live or Leave

Also the threats- Heaven or Hell

Please understand ONLY on earth we can find duality;

Duality does NOT exist anywhere else;

Hence it is absolute nonsense if anybody fears heaven or hell after death;

Physics students can understand this essay easily

Earth is a 3 dimensional phenomenon.

Our home is a 5^th dimension phenomenon.

There is a transition stage in 4^th dimension;

To understand let us think of a 2d world which does not exist:

Consider a two-dimensional world resembling a sheet of paper. How would you appear to the inhabitants of such a world if you tried to interact with them? The 2-D creatures would only see cross-sections of you as you intersected their universe. Your finger would look like a flat disc that grew in size as you pushed it through their world. Your five fingers might look like five separate circles. They would just see irregular shapes with skin boundaries as you entered their world.

Similarly, a hyper-being who lived in the fourth dimension would have a cross-section in our space that looked like a bunch of skin blobs.

A 4-D being would be a god to us. It would see everything in our world. It could even look inside your stomach and remove your breakfast without cutting through your skin, just like you could remove a dot inside a circle by moving it up into the third dimension, perpendicular to the circle, without breaking the circle.

This is the point where we enter after leaving the physical body;

A hyper-being can effortlessly remove things before your very eyes, giving you the impression that the objects simply disappeared. The hyper-being can also see inside any 3-D object or life form, and if necessary remove anything from inside. The being can look inside our intestines, or remove a tumor from our brain without ever cutting through the skin. A pair of gloves can be easily transformed into two left or two right gloves. And 3-D knots fall apart in the hands of a hyper-being, much as a 2-D knot (a loop of string lying on a plane) can easily be undone by a 3-D being simply by lifting the end of the loop up into the third dimension.

Decisions are taken here guided by beings from 5^th dimension;

Another terminology is being Judgmental

Because of duality and polarity everything has an opposite; human beings grade everything based on an impression which again is the result of our personal ethical or religious scale of good and bad

We will talk more as we have to leave for Lok sakti express; I will have to report for duty on 9^th after a week

Miracles -Different Dimension

Love that has no definition-Pramukh Ji, my Love

Embodiments of Love!

On 5th we celebrated Ganesh Chaturthy in the traditional way; something is special this year; after marriage function on 4th Sep 2016 ( of my daughter Gayathri) my brother Balaji, his wife and daughter Meera were with me;

We were actually tired and we were not in a mood to have special Pooja; at the most we desired a payasam( sweet pudding) as an offer to Ganesha but Meera wanted to celebrate in the traditional way recalling our earlier combined family; immediately my wife and brother’s wife along with Meera geared up and made Modhak for Ganesha; also they wanted Pooja to be done by me and my brother Balaji; accordingly Balaji directed and I performed; it went of very well.

Miracle is yet to evolve

On 6^th I and Santha planned to go to Mahalakshmi temple as a thanks giving to Goddess of Mumbai;

I called Manju Ji, wife of my beloved friend and revered person Shri Jagdish Soni; she said she had brought Ganesha home and Ganesha needed a grand Pooja as the neighbor who normally performed Pooja has not turned up this year after the demise of Shri Soni Ji; she suggested I came with my wife and perform Pooja with a prayer for the upliftment of her 2 sons; immediately my wife Santha got into action and made Modhak and appam;

Here the miracle is the Modhak; she made the flour mix approximately; it exactly yielded 11 nos, which Hindus consider auspicious; this modhak is the ghee fried version against the steam boiled version made on 5^th; appam was new offer; we purchased all Pooja items and visited Soni’s family…performed a grand Pooja; there neighbor girl was made to do the Pooja as per my direction. Wonderful.

You may wonder what the miracle here is;

A flash back:

On 6^th morning, we were watching Zee TV-daily astrology by Harikesanallur Shri Venkataraman; he told that THULA rasi people (I and wife are Thula rasi people) should pray Ganesa strongly so that the missile targeting our head may get away with the helmet and Lord Ganesha was our Saviour forever; so Ganesha translated our Mahalakshmi visit into another Ganesh Pooja

Is this not a miracle? For us it is a STRONG yes.

Note: Manju Ji’s love for Ganesha made me think of her for Mahalakshmi temple visit which turned the events culminating in the Pooja of Ganesha at Manju Ji’s house

Love that has no definition-Pramukh Ji, my Love

Embodiments of Love!

I have a great connection with Shri. Pramukh Ji Maharaj, who passed away on 13^th August 2016

When I spell his name I feel I am writing about my friend

Pramukh Swami Maharaj (born Shantilal Patel; ordained Shastri Narayanswarupdas; 7 December 1921 – 13 August 2016) was an Indian guru and Pramukh, or president, of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha, an international Hindu socio-spiritual organization.

I saw the administrative head of BAPS Shri Mahant Swamy in 2013 I think;

Serene Atmosphere!

Peaceful talk; he gave private audience; he gave a framed life size photograph of Shri.Pramukh Ji Maharaj.

I have special connections with Gujarat and its people.

Gujarat is making me a full person.

I need to contribute more to this land; may Shri. Pramukh Maharaj bless my wish!

Father or Mother?

In all the birthday parties I venerate mothers and motherhood;

One comment was: Father also is important; share a few things about father also;

I spoke to my girlfriend; she said her father was a god.

I wanted to prove a point: turned to the Vedas;

Rig Veda: 10:90

Purusha Suktham

In this the original being-PURUSHA is without gender;

You need to read paragraph 7 first and then from 1 to 6 with meaning

सहस्रशीर्षा पुरुषः सहस्राक्षः सहस्रपात् ।
स भूमिं विश्वतो वृत्वात्यतिष्ठद्दशाङुलम् ॥१॥

1.1: The Purusha (The Universal Being) has Thousand Heads, Thousand Eyes and Thousand Feet (Thousand signifies innumerable which points to the omnipresence of the Universal Being),
1.2: He envelops the World from all sides (i.e. He pervades each part of the Creation), and extends beyond in the TenDirections ( represented by Ten Fingers ),

पुरुष एवेदं सर्वं यद्भूतं यच्च भव्यम् ।
उतामृतत्वस्येशानो यदन्नेनातिरोहति ॥२॥

2.1: The Purusha is indeed All this (Creation) in essence; That which existed in the Past, and that which will exist in theFuture,
2.2: Everything (i.e the whole Creation) is woven by the Immortal essence of the Great Lord (Purusha); by becoming Foodof which (i.e. by getting consumed in Whose Immortal essence through surrender) one transcends the gross world (and becomes Immortal).

एतावानस्य महिमातो ज्यायाँश्च पूरुषः ।
पादोऽस्य विश्वा भूतानि त्रिपादस्यामृतं दिवि ॥३॥

3.1: The Purusha is Greater than all the Greatness (which can be expressed by words),
3.2: His One Foot has become all these (visible) Worlds, and His Three Feet rests in the Immortal World of theTranscendence.

त्रिपादूर्ध्व उदैत्पूरुषः पादोऽस्येहाभवत्पुनः ।
ततो विष्वङ् व्यक्रामत्साशनानशने अभि ॥४॥

4.1: The Three Feet of the Purusha is raised high Above (in Transcendental Realm), and His One Foot becomes the Creationagain and again.
4.2: There, in the Creation, He pervades all the Living ( who eats ) and the Non-Living ( who does not eat ) beings.

तस्माद्विराळजायत विराजो अधि पूरुषः ।
स जातो अत्यरिच्यत पश्चाद्भूमिमथो पुरः ॥५॥

5.1: From Him (i.e. the Purusha) was born the Virat; (the Virat came into being) from the presence of the Shining Purusha(Who remained as the background or substratum of Virat);
5.2: He (i.e. the Virat) created the Earth, by manifesting Her from His own being as substratum.

यत्पुरुषेण हविषा देवा यज्ञमतन्वत ।
वसन्तो अस्यासीदाज्यं ग्रीष्म इध्मः शरद्धविः ॥६॥

6.1: With the Purusha as the (Sacrificial) Fire, the Deva (the Shining One, referring to Virat) continued the Yagya (Sacrifice of creation),
6.2: Spring was (created as) the clarified Butter (of that Yagya), Summer was (created as) the Fuel (of that Yagya), andAutumn was (created as) the Havis (Sacrificial offering of that Yagya).

तं यज्ञं बर्हिषि प्रौक्षन्पुरुषं जातमग्रतः ।
तेन देवा अयजन्त साध्या ऋषयश्च ये ॥७॥

7.1: The First Divine Men were created as the Holy Water sprinkled with the Kusa Grass in that Yagya (Sacrifice of Creation).
7.2: The First Divine Men were the Sadhya Devas and the Rishis, Who were created by Him, the Deva (the Shining One, referring to Virat), Who performed the Yagya. (These Rishis were not human but divine Rishis like Saptarshis created directly by Virat).

Here Vedas call the first creations as PURUSHA…..this PURUSHA has no gender connotations…

So veda does not distinguish between male and female

So is mother important?

Let us see Taitriya Upanishad—Chapter 3 Bhrigu valli

प्राणो वा अन्नम् । शरीरमन्नादम् । प्राणे शरीरं प्रतिष्ठितम् । शरीरे प्राणः प्रतिष्ठितः । तदेतदन्नमन्ने प्रतिष्ठितम् ॥ २ ॥

Life, verily, is food, the body the eater of food. In life the body is set; life is set in the body. Thus food is set in food.

स य एतदन्नमन्ने प्रतिष्ठितं वेद प्रतितिष्ठति । अन्नवानन्नादो भवति । महान्भवति प्रजया पशुभिर्ब्रह्मवर्चसेन । महान् कीर्त्या ॥ ३ ॥ 

Whoso knows that thus food is set in food, he is settled; possessor of food and food-eater he becomes. Great he becomes by progeny, by cattle, by spiritual luster; great by fame.

Dear Readers…..my conclusion based on the above declaration of Bhriguvalli….when I am in the womb mother only feeds by default

When I am born she only feeds

When I feel hungry she only rushes.

Should I not venerate her?
