Mundakya Upanishad !!!

Om, and its power are underlined and detailed in Mundakya Upanishad, which is dedicated text for this one "Word", which encompasses "BRAHMA' in itself.

महाम्रितुन्जय मंत्र !!!

महाम्रितुन्जय मंत्र

It has been mentioned in RIG VEDA, one of the four pillar vedas of HINDUISM. It  is one of the more potent of the ancient Sanskrit mantras. Maha mrityunjaya is a call for enlightenment and is a practice of purifying the karmas of the soul at a deep level. It is also said to be quite beneficial for mental, emotional, and physical health.

We Meditate on the Three-eyed reality
Which permeates and nourishes all like a fragrance.
May we be liberated from death for the sake of immortality,
Even as the cucumber is severed from bondage to the creeper.

 

 

Meaning

 

AUM/OM: Absolute reality. That which encompasses the three states of waking, dreaming, deep sleep, represented by AUM, the three levels of gross, subtle, causal, the three levels of conscious, unconscious, subconscious, and the three universal processes of coming, being, and going. Absolute silence beyond the three levels is the silence after AUM.

Tryambakam: Trya means three. Ambakam means eyes. It means the three eyes of the Absolute, which are the processes of creation, existence, and dissolution, as well as the other triads, which are part of AUM. The three "eyes" means experiencing these three stages and triads at one time, from the higher, all pervasive vantage point of the Absolute.

Yajamahe: We rejoice in meditation on all of this.

------------------------------

Sugandhim: Means fragrance. Like a spreading fragrance, all of this permeates the whole of existence, while at the same time being that existence

Pushtivardhanam: Means that which sustains and nourishes all. Thus, the fragrance that permeates all is the sustainer of all beings, while also the essence of all beings.

------------------------------

Urvarukamiva: Urva means big and powerful. Arukam means disease, like the spiritual diseases of ignorance and untruth, which are like the death of Wisdom or Truth.

Bandhanan: Means bound down, as in bound down to the ignorance and untruth.

------------------------------

Mrityor: Means ignorance and untruth.

Mukshiya: Means liberation from the cycles of physical, mental, and spiritual death.

Maamritat: Means please give me rejuvenating nectar, so as to have this liberation, like the process of severing the cucumber from the creeping vine.

 



ULTIMATE TRUTH !!!

ULTIMATE TRUTH  !!!

1. Nothing is permanant except laws of nature, which is ultimate truth, that is SHIVA & this is face less/ form less/ shape less.

       - This law of nature is "Positive and Negative governs the world" i.e concept of YIN -YANG.

2. One who understands laws of Nature is YOGI, GOD, BUDDHA, KRISHNA or JESUS
    
      - There have been several thousand yogis/ enlighted beings who remained unknown or lesser known but who were equally enlighted.

3. All living species in this world are equal and govern by the same law of nature.

RELIGION !!!

How "The laws of nature"  works for humans is primary goal of religion so all religions works towards that.
- Religions make humans understnad that what is ultimate truth, how they are connected to this and how it will manifest in their lives.
- Religions around the world act in the limited sphere of humans, their body, their minds ( conscious & unconscious) & their soul.
- As human's ability to think is limited so to make them understand , to simplify religion rituals, forms of  GOD, texts, hymns, prayers, stories, important days, ways of living life, stratas in societies & several other ways were developed.

Buddha- The Last Known GOD gave us the the light of  "Ultimate truth" again and ways of life in the form of Buddhism. Though all religions are same they have been mis-understood by their re-presentation.

Most mis-understood religion ( Way of Life) has been Hinduism, while this most ancient religion taught humans not only the easiest path to understnad "Ultimate truth" but also the "way of life" to eash entity of society. How each interlink of society should work towards harmony and prosperity.People who developed Hinduism were " PARLIAMENT of YOGIS" who simplified the most complex thing in such a way that even human with zero mind can understand that.


a. There is no lag in the nature of Laws . Action = reaction ( at the same moment) , manifestation might take time to come or to understand.

b.Impermanancy is only permanant thing in this world.

c. Every thing is changing that is "Law of nature" . For us reality is WAVE, but in actual it is combination of thousand Particles which comes into existance and next moment dies & second moment next particle comes into existance & it looks like as it did not die at all. So Any thing that you see is not the same that you see last moment and it will not be the same that you would see next moment. There was no beggining & there will not be any end, it is continuity that is " ultimate truth"

d.Body is mean to the end not an end intself..

e. Human form is only form where you can understanad the "Laws of Nature"  and other living species can only feel "Laws of nature" so you are lucky that you are humans as by understanding the "Laws of Nature" you can act accordingly which is other wise not possible.

f. If there is any worthy goal in life, it should be " Control your "MAN", a part of mind that is completely satiated in the senses & it is aspect that prevents you to undterstnad the "Ultimate truth" and even if you have understand it, it prevents you to act according to "Laws of Nature"
and Resutl i one who have not nderstood the laws of Nature would suffer and would never acheive happiness. And Happiness is the only aim of any living species.

g. Suffering and Happiness are again feelings but they are temporary or permanant that is understanding. In human form you get a chance to understand  them. IN nut shell in human form you get a chance to understnad happiness as concept and then you are free from the feeling of suffering as after that there would not be any feeling at all.

h. Not to have any feeling is " Ultimate aim of living species" or unstated aim of life because it need to be understood first before experiencing. Other aims are first experieced and then undestood & in that process understanding becomes biased.

Personality Pyramid.

Personality Pyramid is image of comlete person. It signifies the priority an individual should set for maximising potitive energy in his/ her life.

Youth is backbone of any country's success. Whether it is independence fight in India, led by freedom fighters such as Netaji, Bhagat Singh or Gandhiji, it was the youth who led the movements. Super power US was also built on the shoulders fo youth such as edison, Ford, Alfred Sloan, Bill gates, Steve jobs etc. This is pivotal for any country to focus on its youth to build a country of orginal ideas, entrepeneurship &  leadership. But this is easier said than done. With changing technology and social structure, there are several things that influence youth in more ways than we think. Religion is loosing its steam, as more or more scandals sre popping up, in the corridors temples of morality. Positive aspects of religion are easily forgotten now a days.

Hinduism is one of the ancinet religion in world. Being ancient does not mean, it should be blindly followed. But without understanding it in totality, it is often misunderstood. Worship of Idol is considered insane, rituals are considered unfair means developed by "Pundits" to male money, Sacrifices of animals is considered inhumane & language in which its sacred texts are written is understood by only 0.0000000001% world population. So logically people go for " READY TO FOLLOW" simple religions such as Islam & Christianity, whcih expounds few but most important aspects of any relition, which of course are part of Hinduism.

Here I am dwelling upon one important aspects of any religion, personality. How human must develop its personality which is beneficial for his/ her success and its country's success and peace of universe.

Science of OM !!!

The Science of the Divine Syllable    

The triliteral monosyllabic divine word, OM, philologically considered, covers in its triple ‘mora’, the entire ground of sound-phenomena, and acquires the distinction of being the only scientific syllable in all languages. As a transcription in time-limits, in all Nature, and through the human voice, of the timeless mystic resonance inherent in the  primeval functionings of the Infinite, it gains the prerogative of being the only natural, real, original, sublime and synonymless Name of the infinite Divinity, as against all other names of the Deity, whether in Hinduism, or in other world religions, that are found to be manmade, qualified, characteristic, derived from the attributes of the Divine, apprehended by an approaching, adoring and aspiring human intelligence. 

Philosophically, OM is not so much a descriptive synonym as the very constitutive essence and organic self-expression of the indestructible Reality, Akshara.  Cosmogonically and cosmologically, OM is the archetype of creative Power, the Logos,  not as conceived by Philo, but as envisioned and experienced by the luminous Soul of the  ancient Seers. It is the creative and revelatory Divine Word, the inconceivably subtle  elemental sound-structure, self-formed of light, Tejas. It is full of the primordial and  ultimate Energy that forms, sustains and reabsorbs billions of universes, and that is immanent in all that is manifest, as rhythm, reason, law, sound-continuum-cum-light continuum, analysable in a sequence, as the first and fundamental Thought, a Will, a Selfconscious Entity, a great Self-organising Consciousness. 

Ontologically, in its ‘mora’-less, syllableless, nameless, soundless aspect, OM is the  Transcendent Unmanifest. By this very uniqueness of its native double status, it  overcomes the hurdles of the dualistic principles in Platonic and other cosmogonies, and  yields itself, by its intrinsic and extrinsic scientific character, as the only foundation for  an integral philosophy of life and action. 

Therapeutically, several and repeated experiments in its vibrations have conclusively  proved its curative, sedative and healing effects. Psychologically, the incessant mental repetition of this creative Word, results in the wholesome and personality-integrating  physiological effect of a deep track made in the brain, effectuates a sublimation of the  conational substance, a transmutation of mind’s crude energies, and, in consequence,  exerts an awakening and formative impact upon the inner life. Psychically, advanced Yogic students, by virtue of a subjective mastery over the repetition of OM, release rhythmic internal vibrations and regulate the irregular flow of the vital force, the unsteady and disharmonious vibrations of the five sheaths, restore a rare poise and balance to the mental functions, and seek to hit the plexuses and awaken 

the powers coiled in them. Parapsychologically, astrally and supraterrestrially, the ancient Sages of contemplative  perception and living beatific experience, who have had the advantage of conducting by extra-scientific faculties, special investigations in the psychological, psychic, occult and  spiritual potentialities of the mysterious and mystic sound embodied in this sacred syllable, discovered that when intoned in accordance with the prescribed rules, and potentiated by the purified heart, it unfolds the Consciousness-Force inherent in itself. It  can not only radically transform the entire man at each of his conscious and unconscious levels, and render active in him the Power of the Superconscient, but also aid him, – through the non-material and extraordinarily subtle waves ensconced in its produced vibrations, – to affect, or influence, the inhabitants of other worlds, touch and quicken the heart of the Deity, and move It to flood him with Its Grace. Musicologically, it constitutes the substratum of all the seven notes, and in one of the  preceding higher gradations of its own self-manifestation, it presents itself as the primal 

music of the spheres, subtler than the one of Shakespeare’s grand conception, and sweeter than the celestial music ‘acoustically perceived’ by the poetic genius of Milton, audible only to the inner audience of the perfected Yogis. 

Transcendentally, it represents itself as ‘Nada-Brahman’, the Melody Absolute, claiming for its devotees such supreme Indian Beethovens as Tyagaraja. 

Methodologically, it commands, all for itself, an independent school of sound-mysticism, ‘Natha-Yoga’, plays a pre-eminent role in the scheme of Vedantic thought, in the systems of Yoga, in the Tantra Sadhana, and finds the Upanishads repeatedly eulogising it. 

Great seekers after Truth meditate upon it, for an assimilation of its deepest significance, and its most comprehensive meaning, which were, tradition has it, difficult of description, even for such great sages like Brihaspati and Vasishtha. The sacred Books of Truthrealization speak of OM in a series of metaphors such as a bow, an arrow, a ship that conveys the soul of man into the Bosom of the Eternal and the Infinite, which it itself is. The Science of Mystical Syllables and Divine Sounds    The first manifestation of God is Ether or Sound. Sound is the quality of Ether. Sounds are vibrations. They give rise to definite forms. Each sound produces a form in the  invisible world. Combinations of sound create complicated shapes. The text-books of science describe certain experiments which show that notes produced by certain instruments, trace out on a bed of sand, definite geometrical figures. It is thus demonstrated that rhythmical vibrations give rise to regular geometrical figures. The sacred books of ancient India, on the subject of music, tell us that various musical tunes, ragas and raginis, have each a particular shape. For instance, the Megha Raga is said to be a majestic figure seated on an elephant. The Vasanta Raga is described as a beautiful youth decked with flowers. From this, it is clear that a particular raga or ragin when accurately sung, produces aerial etheric vibrations which create certain characteristic shapes. 

In the contemporary world, this view has received corroboration from the experiments carried on by Mrs. Watts Hughes, the gifted authoress of Voice Figures. She delivered an illustrated lecture before a select audience in Lord Leighton’s Studio, to demonstrate the beautiful scientific discoveries on which she has alighted as the result of many years of  patient labour. 

Mrs. Hughes sang into a simple instrument called an ‘Eidophone’ which consists of a tube, a receiver and a flexible membrane. She finds that each note assumes definite and constant shape, as revealed through a sensitive and mobile medium. At the outset of her lecture, she placed tiny seeds upon the flexible membrane and the air vibrations set up by the notes she sounded, danced them into definite geometric patterns. Afterwards, she used dusts of various kinds. Lycopodium dust was found to be particularly suitable. 

Describing the shapes of the notes, a reporter speaks of them as remarkable revelations of  geometry, perspective and shading. ‘Stars, spirals, snakes, wonders in wheels and imagination rioting in a wealth of captivating methodical designs’, such were what were shown first. Once, when Mrs. Hughes was singing a note, a daisy appeared and disappeared, and ‘I tried’, she said, ‘to sing it back for weeks, before at last I succeeded’. Now she knows the precise inflections of the particular note that is a daisy, and it is made 

constant and definite by a strange method of coaxing and alteration of crescendo and diminuendo. 

After the audience had gazed enrapt at a series of daisies, some with succeeding rows of petals and some with petals delicately viewed, they were shown other notes, and these were pansies of great beauty. ‘How wonderful, how lovely’, were the audible exclamations that arose in the late Lord Leighton’s studio, and exquisite forms succeeded exquisite forms on the screen. The flowers were followed by sea-monsters, serpentine forms of swelling rotundity, full of light and shade and detail. After these notes came others, and there were trees, trees with fruits falling, trees with a foreground of rocks, trees with sea behind. ‘Why’ exclaimed people in the audience, ‘they are just like Japanese landscapes’. While in France, Madame Finlang’s singing of a hymn to Virgin Mary ‘O Ave Maria’ brought out the form of Mary with the child Jesus in her lap; and again the singing of a hymn to Bhairava by a Bengali student of Benares, India, studying in France, gave rise to the formation of the figure of Bhairava with his vehicle dog. Thus, the repeated singing of the name of the Lord gradually builds up the forms of the  special manifestations of God, the Deity whom you seek to worship, and this serves as a focus to concentrate the benign influence of the Being which, radiating from the centre, penetrates the worshipper or the singer The Eternal Word – OM    

OM is essentially mystic, and therefore, wholly non-sectarian. The people of all religious denominations, and particularly the seekers after the divine Truth, have always, through the millenniums, used this word of divine Nature and Power, with immense spiritual profit. 

The mystic seers of the ancient times received many revelations on the sacrosanct form and the ontological implications of the character of OM. 

They conducted prolonged experiments in its vibrations, and made many researches in the spiritual effects it exerts, the diversity of utility it permits, and the benefits it confers.

Om -The Universal

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . . All
things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."-JOHN 1:1-3. AUM (OM)
of the VEDAS became the sacred word AMIN of the Moslems, HUM of the Tibetans, and AMEN of the
Christians (its meaning in Hebrew being SURE, FAITHFUL). "These things saith the Amen, the faithful and
true witness, the beginning of the creation of God."-REVELATIONS 3:14.

Main Steps of Yoga....

The YOGA system as outlined by Patanjali is known as the Eightfold Path. The first steps, (1) YAMA and (2)

NIYAMA, require observance of ten negative and positive moralities-avoidance of injury to others, of

untruthfulness, of stealing, of incontinence, of gift-receiving (which brings obligations); and purity of body

and mind, contentment, self-discipline, study, and devotion to God.

The next steps are (3) ASANA (right posture); the spinal column must be held straight, and the body firm in a

comfortable position for meditation; (4) PRANAYAMA (control of PRANA, subtle life currents); and (5)

PRATYAHARA (withdrawal of the senses from external objects).

The last steps are forms of yoga proper: (6) DHARANA (concentration); holding the mind to one thought; (7)

DHYANA (meditation), and (8) SAMADHI (superconscious perception). This is the Eightfold Path of Yoga

{FN24-6} which leads one to the final goal of KAIVALYA (Absoluteness), a term which might be more

comprehensibly put as "realization of the Truth beyond all intellectual apprehension."

"Which is greater," one may ask, "a swami or a yogi?" If and when final oneness with God is achieved, the

distinctions of the various paths disappear. The BHAGAVAD GITA, however, points out that the methods of

yoga are all-embracive. Its techniques are not meant only for certain types and temperaments, such as those

few who incline toward the monastic life; yoga requires no formal allegiance. Because the yogic science

satisfies a universal need, it has a natural universal applicability
