knowledge session of rajashreeji


Some excerpts of what Rajshree Didi spoke on March 10,2014
1. Like a GPS, it shows u the path.It makes u the path clear.Though there is still traffic jams & all.
2. Likewise when u r clear with ur purpose with why u are doing. When there is clarity,U move on, even though problems exists & things have not changed.
3. Many times you know its wrong yet u do it? How to stop & avert this tendency?
4. You know u like what the small mind does. Because many times your logic works, reasoning wins!
5. & with that attitude u keep moving & at times get lost in that ambition to win your small mind.
6. That is vasana, that binds you back with misery.
7. To overcome Vasana, one out of ten times, you say a no to it. Start with this.
8. You know observe the wall. If there is a crack how will the water flow?
9. It flows thru the cracks & soon there is a continuous flow & water gets directed to it.
10. Same is with the mind. Vasanas are those cracks. If you let them be, it widens & concentrates!
11. You have to fill the crack with cement.& stop the water flow at some point
12.You have to say no to those vasanas that bind you to misery.
13. Through awareness & understanding you can overcome the vasana with Purushartha – SelfEffort!
14. So KarmaYog & BhaktiYog both are there. You have to do & you have to relax
15. You have to sing & you have to surrender.
16. You have to relax & stop running around in the mind!
17. Trust in the innocence ( bhola bhaav) of the present moment..
Bholenath..thats Shiva..
18. If the creator created all this without any purpose…how will we ..the creation have any purpose!!!!!..
its just his daydream!
19. You want to know the how & the why. You just relax & Be. Be in this moment & Move with the confidence that everything is alright :)
20. Die every moment – that small mind that keeps hankering to misery & bondage ,
to let Life spring up & align itself with a greater cause. To not get stuck up again in misery :)

SOME excerpts from meet with Rajshree Didi , March 11,2014
1. Whenever you meet Guruji,  your mind should be stable & clear without any turbulence. It should not be like he is coming & making you calm. You should be ready to learn or experience his presence.
2 . Have at least one “Guru brother, Guru friend,companion” who will be there to keep you on path.
3. Come out of & drop all patterns to be free.
4. Having anything is your choice.  Your friends, positions,food.
You choose you reap.
5 . Behind everything there is intelligence working,  there is even mismanagement.
6. It’s that intelligence which is carring us n everything . Like wood log in river flow.
Once again remember…
Our consciousness is like water & body is like log..
Its about merging with the big consciousness & getting out of our small minds!

rudrabhisekham


Dear Guruji, what is the real meaning and importance of Rudra Pooja? And what happens to the people or the place?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: 
Rudrabhishek is an ancient chanting which was downloaded from the Aakasha (space). When the ancient sages and Rishis sat in meditation, they heard, and what they heard, they started transferring to other people.
The effect of Rudrabhishek is it creates positive energy and removes negative vibes. And a lot is said about the Rudrabhishek. When Rudrabishek happens nature flourishes, nature becomes joyful, happy. 

Main thing is the vibration, that is it. If you ask me, ’Do you know the meaning of all the chants? I will say, ’I also don’t know.’ It’s the vibration of the chants that is important and then the meaning. 

There are two parts, the first part says, ’Namo, namo, namo, namo!’ 

Mana, means mind. The word mind in English comes from Sanskrit word Mana

Nama is the reverse of the mind. The mind going to its source is called Nama

When the mind goes outside to experience the world, it is Mana. So Nama. is the mind going back to its source. 

When it goes to its source, what does it find? Everything is made up of one consciousness. 

Now, what do the scientists today say? God Particle – by which everything has been made. Thousands of years ago the Rishis said the same thing, that everything is made up of one thing, and that they called Brahman. – that which is neither male nor female. It is nothing but a Tattva. Tattva means principle.
A great principle by which everything is made of, they called it Bramhan. And when thatBramhan becomes personal, it is called Shiva Tattva – the innocent Divinity; that is in everything. That is why we say, ‘Namo, namo!’

In the trees, in the greenery, in the birds, even in the thieves, and in a dacoit, everywhere, it is the same one principle. 
Then, the second part will say, ‘Chame, chame, chame, chame.’ You have heard this, isn’t it?! This means, everything is in Me.

Me’ in English comes from the Sanskrit word ’ Ma’, which means Myself

Ma Ma’ means ’ For Me’, ‘In Me’. So, everything is in terms of ; myself;. The second part is everything is for me and everything is in terms of me. 

Even for numbers they say, ‘Ekaachame’, which means, one, two, three, four, they are all my form; Myself. Like that, ‘Sugamchame’, happiness for me! 

Abhayanchame’, fearlessness, happiness, health, all the good things in the universe, let them all come to me, and they are all part of me. That is it.
And as this is being chanted, usually milk and water runs through the crystal, drop by drop. This is the ancient method. It is done with water or in fire as well. 

What they do is they keep a fire and they put different herbs for the different chants.
Or you allow a string of water to keep falling on a crystal and you listen to this chanting – this is the ancient method. 

And done on Mondays it is even more special. Monday is the day of the moon and the moon and mind are connected. Mantra, mind, moon, they are all connected somewhere. So, in India, it is a tradition, they have this chanting going on in the Ashrams. So in our ashram also, every Monday, we have this. 

All the five elements are used in pooja. Pooja means honoring all the elements, born out of fullness. So, fire, water, incense sticks, fruits, flowers, rice, whatever nature has given to us, those things are used and the chanting goes on. 

There is a lot of depth and meaning to it. You can go and do some research on it, more and more things will come out. 

Mainly, it creates more positive ions, more so when people are meditating. 

Just doing it as a ritual is not that effective because it is said that the Veda Mantras are effective when people are awake from within; for them, these mantras have more meaning. So, they help you to go deep into meditation.

vishnu's posture

vishu bhagwan day dreaming surrounded by beautiful sea and lakshmi devi pressing his leg!!! it is not just mere a picture ,its deeper meaning is that vishu is the higher self(pure awarness) and he has won over his carnal desires(which Is denoted by the snake) and thus he is in bliss (which is denoted by sheer sagar ie ocean of bliss) and pressing his feet is laxmi ( on material front is money) so this chilling is actually posible when one identifies with the higher Self (with in) and that is only posibble by winning over ones carnal desires and thus chill out in life as then you need not worry abt food ,clothing,shelter (basic needs which money can buy) and get drowned in the ocean of bliss (which is witnessed within oneself when  mind merges in the universal heart).And this is liberation- (jeevan mukti) being liberated and witnessing it at the same time.
