Mastering the Nature!

 

Mastering the Nature!

The ultimate dream of everyone is to be “ALL POWERFUL”.

And today, let’s see the path that takes us towards being “all powerful” one day!

Being ‘all powerful’ means being the Masters of the phenomena of Nature.

Everything in the World has to feel puny in front of the fury of the Nature.

Imagine, we can master such “A Nature”??!!

Wow – that is everything and be all!

And Swami Vivekananda says “The whole universe is a mass of change. But there is One who never changes, and that is God; and the nearer we get to Him, the less will be the change for us, the less will nature be able to work on us; and when we reach Him and stand with Him, we shall conquer nature, we shall be masters of these phenomena of nature, and they will have no effect on us”

If you can’t believe then look at Jesus Christ – he woke up from death! That is having control over the nature.

Many such are examples that our various Gurus have shown us. Share if you know any of such examples.

But, above all, every healing that you do to overcome your weakness, exhibit your divine nature, connect with your soul takes you nearer to Him and in that lies your secret to overcome your fate slowly and steadily – bye and by.

So stop not till you reach your desired goal!

Keep working on yourself!

Keep doing sadhan!

Develop clarity of thought, patience, trust and faith with healing!

Grow fearless day by day!

Sadhan for August 15th – Our Guruji’s Birthday!

 

Sadhan for August 15^th – Our Guruji’s Birthday!

Every Guru who has come to help the mankind has been only one since ages and will be so till eternity – to guide, teach and help the mankind to heal at its karma and to raise their consciousness to Super-Consciousness! Be it Aurobindo, Ramana Maharshi, Vivekananda, Jesus Christ, Parmacharya, Mahavatar Babaji, Adi Shankaracharya, Raghavendra Swami, Kabir, Guru Nanak, Baba Gariban Nawaz (and every other Guru of any sect) or our beloved Guruji Dr.Mikao Usui.

Dr. Mikao Usui’s birthday is on 15^th August. Every year we do some sadhan to thank him for giving us the knowledge of Reiki which has transformed the lives of millions of people in this World!

This year also let’s do some sadhan to commemorate his birthday!

Let’s chant “Mrutunjaya Mantra” that aids in healing our delusion and making us immortals – 108 malas.

The time we have is till this month's end – August 31^st.

Those who don’t have time or patience and can do less. They too are also welcome to do the same.

Those who can do more are welcome to do the same.

Just, give me your count of malas at the end of the month.

We are not competing with anyone – so don’t feel bad for doing less than others. We are doing this for our Guruji – each one of us is chanting as a form of thank you to show him our gratitude – that’s all!

Thank you can’t bring stress – if it does, then it is not thank you with love – it is filled with ego and arrogance. Drop that! Let’s just thank him with all our heart and love.

And those who may do exceptionally well also don’t let arrogance or ego get to you. Just be aware of it. Do this and enjoy the process. And then let our gratitude fill us with happiness through this month.

Some of you will not openly share the same in blog – I know that – even you – do it – it is between you and Guruji – for whatever reason, you don’t want to express in the blog – that is also fine by me.

But, if you could work on that reason that stops you from expressing in blog – well, that would be ‘sone pe suhaaga’ – a cherry on top of the cake!

Grace healings - for Guru pournima celebrations!

 

Grace healings - for Guru pournima celebrations!

Sending reiki for 7 days to all those who wished on  “Guru pournima”

Guru pournima is just not about wishing each other. Let it not be just one more verbal ritual!

This auspicious day and every auspicious day let’s remember to CONNECT to the primordial source – and Guru is the easiest one to connect to the source as we can relate with him for various emotional and personal reasons!

Be connected to your Guru – whoever it is – Ramana, Mahavatar Baba, Baba Ghariban Nawaz, Jesus Christ, Buddha – be it any Guru – get connected to your favourite or your Guru through the day – don’t seek anything of this World!

Just be in sadhan – just to be in his company all through the day.

“Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all other things will be added unto you” – Mathew 6:33

“Just give up everything and surrender unto ME. I’ll take care of you and protect you from all the reactions to sinful activities” Lord Krishna in Bhagavath Gita

Time to rest!

 

Time to rest!

When is it time to rest?

When your body, mind and spirit seem to give up, know it's time to rest. 

If you go on even when the entire system says "I can't" you may never reach where you are struggling to go. STOP is the sign you must read and follow. 

It's OK to rest for in rest you calm your nerves and a calmer mind sees the solution that is right in front of us.

A person desperate for things to go his way will only lose the people he has in life now. He also messes up the energies in such a way that he creates more hurdles in the path of his desire-fulfillment. 

Doing nothing is so far away from Being Still. Being still is being restful. Know the difference! And act accordingly to get the right results. 

Now, what does resting mean if not lazing around through the day? 

Because Swami Rama says "Intense work is rest".

Resting is not about physically lazing around or hopping on to some exotic place in the name of a break or vacation. No, it is far from it. 

Rest is for the mind. Rest for the emotions. Rest is stilling our inner chatter. And that rest when given, the person gets connected to the 'soul consciousness' and that gives energy worth 'hundreds of elephants'. Then that person can accomplish many things of this World effortlessly and in no time. 

Just look at Lord Buddha, Adi Shankaracharya, Jesus and many such stalwarts. They disappeared from the World for quite some time. 

Lord Buddha went away to meditate for 6 long years to become enlightened. 

Jesus left home around 13-14 years and came back only when he was around 30 years of age.

Everyone goes within and takes so many years to get connected to the soul. Then all the work they did was monumental. Jesus Christ preached for just 3 years and look all around you - that is the impact of work well done! People after 2000 years of his leaving his mortal body are also ready to forgo everything in his name!

Adi Shankaracharya left his body at 33 years of age. And yet, no one could touch anywhere near his body of work to date. 

We can't go to some mountain or forest and lose our 10-20 years of life. But, we all can take 10-15 days of rest - that is, being in complete sadhan for a said period and gain from it - periodically!

So take time to go into intense sadhan from time to time to rejuvenate yourself. Do it to become fresh from within to have a better and fresh perspective. Do this to gain energy to do much work effortlessly!

Points to ponder:

• When nothing seems to work, take a break!
• When things don't seem to work, take a break!
• Take a break is not about taking a vacation, it is taking break from running around things and how people and things should happen in your life.
• Take a break of running around this World. Take time to visit yourself. Take time to still your mind!

Christmas 2023

Christmas 2023

Come Christmas all one can think about is cakes, carols and Christmas tree. But, is that all it is about?

All these acts of festivities are the body of the Christmas. But what about the spirit of the festival?

And did you know that Christ was not born in December? December 25^th was celebrated to celebrate the winter solstice and to celebrate the birth of the Sun God. Later when Roman empire got baptized it changed this day when days would start getting longer as the “birth day of Jesus”. So, you see, a tradition doesn’t necessarily reveal or reflect the “Truth” after all! And to think, we fight all wars in the name of religion and traditions? Think about that!

To get to know the spirit of any religion or tradition we need to look into the person who started it. Know his spirit and find out what are the characters that shaped his essence. Jesus was driven by character traits of – forgiveness, being sensitive to the poor and needy, belief in the Almighty and working as an instrument to fulfill the command/desire of the Divine. He didn’t have any personal agenda to cater to. He forgave even the people who nailed him to death. His heart bled for the suffering and he would do anything to alleviate them of their suffering.

Now, when we eat the cake, are we also looking at these qualities that define Jesus? Are we invoking the Christ within us? Only if we do, is the real celebration of Christmas. It doesn’t matter which religion you follow. It doesn’t even matter with which name you refer to your God. But, Rigveda says “Aano bhadro krtavo yantu viswatah” meaning “Let noble thoughts come to me from all directions” – This is a Vedic Mantra from Rigveda 1:89. 1. So let’s live our Seer’s desire to receive good from all directions.

And is not forgiveness, working for the downtrodden, and being instrument of the Lord basis of our Sanatan Dharma?

May be we can’t imbibe all these qualities in toto in our lives, but we can have them as our road map. We can work towards them, one step at a time. And as Reiki Sadhak’s we have our techniques to develop these qualities. So this Christmas, let’s do them.

Let’s do charity – at least to one person (not to your maid or driver). Let’s do it to someone unknown to us – even just one packet of food (even fruits will do if you can’t cook). If you have a kid at home, let it be done through their hands. Let’s teach them young the concept of sharing with the needy.

You can also give your old clothes to the street children.

Now with the winter that is killing many, donate at least old blanket to one person.

All the suggested options are doable by one and all. I am not asking you to do it in lakhs. So everyone can do this! If you are on facebook/social media site, post your pic donating and start a “Share to care challenge” or "Christmas spirit challenge" . Ask others to do the same and ask them to post their pics too….this way each one doing charity even to one person we can make a huge difference in real time.

Meditate on “surrendering to Reiki/God” one minute a day.

Kuch alag karthe hai, is saal….let’s do something different this year – let’s bring home Christ this year!!!

Have you met the Christ today?

Where is He?

Me, My Guru – on validity and existence of pain of a Master

 

Me, My Guru – on validity and existence of pain of a Master

“What bothers or pains you Guruji?”

“It is hard to obtain human birth, harder to live like a human being, harder still to understand the ‘Dharma’ and yet the entire life is exhausted in living in unrighteous way and chasing things which are ephemeral!” replied our Guruji looking into the distance.

This was the pain Jesus suffered when he saw people fall in character all around him. This was the pain Adi Shankaracharya experienced when he saw Vedic philosophy degrade to a level of superstitious rituals and wrong ways of living. This was the pain Buddha felt when he saw people suffering on the cause which didn’t exist. This was the pain of Swami Vivekananda which drove him to be workaholic creating ‘Ramakrishna Mutt’ and spreading the Vedic philosophy and its essence to the general public at large.

‘Being detached’ or being ‘sanyasi’ doesn’t mean go away from the world. But understand the difference between right form of work and chasing right kind of things of the world. There is suffering always – only one suffering is real and the other imaginary. The imaginary can be done away with developing clarity of thought and being in sadhan. To choose to work towards ‘other kind of pain’ – that of being unable to see fellow humans and creatures suffer is optional!"

We were silenced by her answer!

Me, My Guru – on being hurt and hurting

Me, My Guru – on being hurt and hurting

“Guruji, what do you do when you are hurt? Why do you keep it to yourself when others hurt you? Don’t you feel like lashing out on them?” asked me being really angry on someone in my life. I had complained about others couple of times and she had given answers that made me look either stupid or wrong. So this time I chose the different path to bring out an answer that cooled my senses. I asked her to explain her stand. Little did I expect her to start a story there?

“Once a woman who had committed adultery was brought out in public place and everyone who had gathered there were to stone her to death. That was the punishment meted on such ‘woman who had committed adultery’ in those days in those tribal clans. Just then Jesus Christ intervened and sought an explanation for the whole commotion. When he was explained the situation and the punishment, he said “Let one who has never sinned throw the first stone at this woman”.

One by one they left and the woman was spared of that gruesome punishment. Jesus looked around and asked “has no one condemned you?” to which that woman said “no one has” and then he replied “neither do I. Go forth and live a sinless life”.

I can hold others responsible for their acts the day I don’t commit any sin – be it even anger even in my thoughts!” saying so my Guru left.

Contd.....

On love - Bhagavatam

.......contd.....

When you go through the life of Jesus, there is missing period from his 13 years to 30 years. Nothing is said about it. He left home at 13 and comes back to home around his 30^th year. When he returned he was ‘Christ’.

More than 25 years of study, travelling and intense meditation made him ‘Christ that he was destined’ to be! He didn’t become one overnight. He worked hard – real hard for such long time to reach that level. 

Behind every ‘great person’ lies his years of struggle, pain, failures, suffering and uncertainty. Yes, none of these great people knew their ‘tomorrow’ and hence their decisions were not ‘sure’ of success. Yet they braved their ‘decisions’ and when they turned successful, people called their decisions and actions right. Take any life  - be it of Buddha, Swami Vivekananda, Gandhi, Baba Amte, A.P.J.Abdul Kalam, Mother Theresa or Ramana Maharshi (I am not explaining or giving pages from their lives assuming you all know about them. If you don't and want, please seek and i'll give few examples from their lives too!). Be it in political field, intellectual, materialistic or spiritual field – behind every ‘successful person’ were two compulsive attitudes – sheer hard work and perseverance!

Coming to Krishna, his winning over Kamsa was also due to his courage, years of hard work (in the field of martial arts and yoga) and the belief that ‘he was right’ and was fighting against ‘wrong’. Purity and right intention itself becomes such

a great energy, shield and power by itself that you become invincible. Just imagine – how a puny, semi-naked man with bare hands and a smile on his lips called Gandhi could face the Mighty Throne of British Empire! So, what’s surprising that Krishna had a smile on his face always – even when facing most powerful of men and his enemies?

So instead of putting aside his character of ‘acts of God’, know them as principles to live up to, character and attitudes to be picked and examples that lead us towards our dreams!”

“But Guruji, we don’t want to face people as powerful as Kamsa!” someone said.

“Did she mean us to?” replied some other voice.

“But then do we have such uncles is the question?” said another voice.

“No. Our relatives and enemies are simple small time thugs and thieves” added a voice from behind.

Everyone laughed. Each one of us was associating this sentence with someone we disliked or one who hurt us a lot or irritated us a lot!
