Walking on a path or xpanding...

Listening to a Kailash Kher's rendition of Kabir's Niharwa...so beautiful to the soul...

I am dissolving in devotion....merging into my charming Krsna...oh! I am drunk with this bliss! ..and in the height of this ecstacy i become unconscious, nothing remains just His cool divine loving presence :) leave me here I am satisfied, I am finally at rest, my heart at home...

See how you hide a treasure
Where do you hide a treasure?
In something simple so no one would guess where to find it, yes?
And then we go on a treasure hunt & then when we find it - it seems so simple!
Isn't it?
Nature has hidden a sacred treasure in something very simple
...it is our breath....
and we look for treasures and meaning of life in something deep, philosophical, complex, and we go on and on searching in the whole world...till we get tired, no? and still we don't find it! :)
Yet it is with us all the time...
Our breath
Just relax and you will find it
Deep within our breath is the greatest treasure and the most sacred secret...
Nature has given it to you!
and you will find it - when you get tired and relax! The greatest is the simplest.
Isn't it?
Then when you relax...in that present moment... you will smile :)
...in your true nature you will feel a blossoming...an expansion...
and you will drop everything...

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

What is the mind?
Only a veil.
Separating what is U
the mind seperates and divides you with a veil
Like you look up into the night sky
...that expanse of space...
and then imagine your mind coming in and covering it like a veil - a curtain limiting you, seperating you, making you finite
when the mind drops to no-mind ...that veil in space uncovers.... you become whole once again, infinite space...
do we need a mind? Or can we be no-mind all the time?

Go for TTC! I just returned...

Loved Ones,

A bunch of 17 souls have returned from TTC in Washington DC. There has been such a shift within - a great transformation - a whole new world has opened - a new life... There are not enough words to describe all the growth that took place, the knowledge, grace, compassion and much MUCH more...

Now...I am back and feeling very humbled and Emmense gratitude to hold the seat of service. To serve at the feet of my Guru...
As Gurudev is there for my growth I am there for others....

So many are inspired by the 17 who went for TTC to go for TTC. 3 that I interacted with.

See just like if you had taken the Part 1 course earlier in your life - you could added more years of better quality life to your life...just like that go now for TTC and increase that fullness in your life sooner than later.

Jai Gurudev

Some responses:

The essence of what u said came across so strong that i felt it in my bones ...current sa lagaa ...and something dissoved in me ... I guess I was thinking why I should go for ttc 2 for sometime now, given we seem to have sooooooo many teachers here - Like this isn't my choice at all .. It's an honor and responsibility that He decides ...something dissolved in me - I had an 'aho' moment - something in that simple statement - I am very humbled and feel Emmense gratitude to hold the seat of service - unblocked something in me ... My heart dissolved and my mind silenced ...Thankyou!"

"I just want to be of better service to Guruji, not necessarily teach, and decided not to do TTC. But after reading your e-mail about personal growth and how we all feel if we could have only taken Part 1 sooner, I thought that I should at least find out..."

Everything is changing...

Sometimes it is hard to accept things and people just they way they are and even harder when people change. You feel that they are not sincere, or lack truth, or that they have betrayed you. Tell me - does truth change? Truth has to be the center that is constant around which everything changes. Tell me - should love change? If the love is true then it should not change.

There is a beautiful chapter in the book, "Bang on the Door", by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar called "True Intimacy". I read that exactly when I needed to. It's amazing how God and Guru are there for you always. That knowledge was a savior for me. It's says that true love is disspassionate...it does not care how the other person feels, thinks or does. Even if the other person kicks you - there should still be compassion and dispassion. That is true love.

Jai Gurudev

May I become Dispassion - May I become Love born from that Dispassion - May I become Truth born from that Love - May I do Seva that is born from all of these.

What is about to follow are simply my personal thoughts and intuitions about the subject matter. It is not written or copied from any Hindu text therefore it should be considered as my personal commentary.

I have often wondered how the highest knowledge and the most superior intelligence that conceived the Vedas could have existed thousands if not millions of years ago. If Ram chandraji himself was the first human avatar, i.e. about 1-2 millions years ago, the Vedas already existed, so they are much older than even that! If man before Ram chandraji was primitive then how could these Rishis have so much intelligence and knowledge, that too far superior than what we have today. According to Hinduism the Vedas are immortal they always existed and that the first yuga was the most pure, the Sat Yuga in which all human were of the purest form. This is contradictory to science. If these Rishis are from an age much earlier than Ram then what form were these Rishis? They could not have been humans. If they had such knowledge, no species on earth had a nervous system evolved enough to carry this intelligence. Could it be that these Rishis were not in physical form? Could it be that these Rishi were Siddhas - another energy form of enlightened souls? The Vedas are called the Shrutis - that which is not conceived by the mind but that which comes from consciousness directly. If the Rishis were not human then the Vedas were not conceived by the mind, if they were enlightened being could it be that they channeled this eternal truth some of which is now in the Vedas? That truth could have later been conveyed in the form of Sanskrit mantras to enlightened humans when the human nervous system had evolved enough to carry it. Also, these Rishis or Siddhas existed in different parts of the world, California (Kapilla Rishi), in Nova Scotia (Nava Kosha), in Germany, Mesopotamia, Afghanistan, Indonesia, etc. A number of references in our ancient texts refers to places elsewhere in the world. Mt. Meru is in the middle east and some of the other places along the Tigris and Uphretis (where man first started farming), also the Soma plant referred to in the Vedas is found in the middle east and Afghanistan.
These Siddhas or Rishis are eternal and still exist today. In the Yoga Vasistha, Ram chandraji is given the highest knowledge by Rishi Vasistha. It could be that Vasistha may not even be a human but a Siddha and Rishi Vasistha is still there today and will be there till the end of creation. Although it may seem strange to us today, I think that in earlier ages Hindus accepted other forms as a part of existence and not something super natural. Even enlightened souls today would consider the same and are in fact able to see and communicate with other forms in existence.
Hindus worship every aspect and form in creation, that is why everything created by the Divine, permeated by the Divine is considered a part of the Divine and not separate from it. That is why every form is worshipped. In Hinduism we have so many Devi Devatas, Rishis, Siddhas, and many other forms (including energy forms that may not even be visible to the human eye) are mentioned in our text. All co-exist and are part of Divinity. It is strange that modern man refers to non-earthly forms in existence as extra terrestrials, something alien and other things super natural. In Hinduism these may be considered Devi-Devatas, Rishis, Siddhas, and other life / energy forms and not something extra ordinary. Amazing! :)

Divine Love is that Love which has the Urge 2 Merge with the Divine.

Humans and civilizations have spanned over tens of thousands of years. One of the first species of the human lineage, as science stands today, appeared on earth between 1 - 2 million years ago. That time when the first humans evolved, other older breeds still existed, one that was more ape like, then there were dwarfs and the first tall straight standing man (homo erectus) and later the homo sapiens, of whom we are direct decendants. This consciousness has traversed so many lifetimes, 10,000+ or more in various forms. The human nervous system is the fully evolved one that can carry the fullest potential of consciousness.

The evolution on the physical plane as discovered by Darwin bears close similarities to the evolution of consciousness in Hinduism as the avatars of Vishnu. Life started in the sea, the first avatar being a fish (Matsya), then an amphibian, the tortoise (Kurma), followed by the first mammal the boar (Varaha), the half man half animal (Narsimha), the dwarf (Vamana), the cave man (Parasurama), the first man (Rama), the best avatar Krishna :), Buddha is believed to be the next but there is no sacred text on this, the final one is Kalki, an avatar yet to come at the end of the Kali yuga.

It is very interesting that a man made bridge of rocks was discovered by a NASA satellite connecting India and Sri Lanka. The bridge has been dated as being around 1.5 million years old. As we know from the Ramayan, Sri Hanumanji and his army built a bridge of rocks between India and Sri Lanka for Sri Ram to cross over to Lanka and rescue his wife from the King of Lanka Ravan. Sri Ram is the first full human form of the Vishnu Dus Avatars, and Hanumanji was still ape like. It is very intriguing that modern science and ancient Hindu scriptures do match up. As stated above the first humans did start evolving around 1-2 million years ago while the species with ape like form may have still existed. So it is quite possible that Hanumanji was from an earlier descendant of man and Ram chandraji from the first human species.

Later I will write on the mysteries of the ancient wisdom, the origins of the Vedas (Shrutis), and how can such intelligence be carried by primitive man who we believe not mentally evolved....
