Respected Melvin Ji,

 

A doctor should be a role model in promoting a healthy lifestyle. I am not dictating how a doctor should be. I connot fathom, why he does not practice what he preaches. The loss is his side. That is why awareness should come from within, ignorance is so great in this life, we are only aware (not in spiritual context) when it is too late. The choice of making healthy life style is ours. I cannot make judgements on the example you gave above, it isn't fair for me to him and myself, furthermore, I am not an iota knowledgable like you guys doctors. I am sorry if I offended anyone reading this. Namaste.

My dear Kshama,

My great grandfathers both on my parent`s side smoked. my grandfathers( deceased) both on my parent`s side smoked. My father who is a doctor stopped smoking 10 years ago( he`s now 80 years old). This way of life (not a habit) I do believe

is in my genes. Might as well be a corpse if don`t smoke. Shame on me if I chose medicine as my profession when I couldn`t even say no to smoking.

There`s a saying, " You practice what priests preached, but don`t follow what they do in private."

But there are way of lives worst than smoking. These are eating and sex.

And that`s another story. Haribol!

I am sorry about your experience but under the circumstances it seems there was nothing you could do. God had other plans for the patient and you were just the bystander. As they say man proposes and God disposes. So I would say just put it in your bag of experiences and transfer all that weight to God. Easier said than done, but giving advices to other people always comes easy to me.

well, i want you to advise me whatever.

sir why are you so negative.

ldont talk or feel like taht .your not that old.

and since your under krishna you can live thousands of years more if youwant .im not joking.

may you live a long life sir.

jai radhe

jai radhe, too.

the name reminds me of a very dear friend, dr jaya sri radhey.

I'm a doctor and I do take care of patients.I apologise for the confusion and I'll try to be as open as I can about myself. BUt I really want to be known as just another person so I did not write much details about my profession.

About what happended ysterday all I can say is for the past 4years I have been a sincere(almost) person being religious to my duties as much as I physically could. These last 4 years of training have taught me a lot and made me to be the person I am today. These last 2 weeks of work were quite heavy with everyday weighing up on me. maybe I was just emotionally too drained to be able to give my best. I don't know what led to yesterday. but I do feel that it may have put a spot on my unblemished impression so far. I feel I may not be able to face my colleagues/juniors who had until now looked up to me because of what I did at the end. I feel I may be leaving this place with a negative energy. The worst of all is I don't know if I would still have gone if I were to get another opportunity? SPeaks much about my dedication to my work and patients doesn't it? This incident is weighing so much on me that I am unable to fully enjoy the completion of this journey with my family. I had been looking so forward to this day. I think they are tired of hearing my complaints and feel that I am not doing justice to the present moment. I know that if this time is gone it may not come back ever for me. But I do not know how to rid myself of this weight on my chest and how to not think about what others maybe thinking of me. More to follow....

the only thing i feel this heaviness on my chest is not being able to save the life of a patient which i was supposed to do but was helpless to do so. a very anemic patient under my care should have lived if we gave her blood transfusion but couldn`t because she was a jehovah`s witness. their religion wont allow them blood transfusion.

Be very careful of fangus which is seen widely on these plants with a look out of white soft tissues attached on branches,a caution note based on health science.

my family physician father regular prunes the branches of his gumamela plants maybe looking for parts with fungal infection of the twigs and leaves( he`s a dermatologist). anyway, thanks for the feedback, hindustani.

Thank you all for the replies, I wrote a long note but it got lost in the inter-space some where.

I'll try again.

what do you specialize, confused1974? me? i`m a certified family physician and is working in this facility.(www.youtube.com/cpdrc)

Respected Dots_dashes,

 

Welcome to the forum. I cannot comment on spirituality. Being in health-care field, I do feel you should stop smoking. It does harm zillion times than hardly any good. I know it might sound cliche. Why depend on inner-voices to quit smoking, the transformation should come by YOU and backed by strong will power. There are many therapies that you could follow. Please consult your GP or doctors near you I am sure, they would willingly help you get over this habit.

 

 

I have studied cases similar to your experience pertaining conscious and unconscious mind and some erratic behaviours. I think again you should consult a doctor, relate your experiences well. He might refer you to the proper channels. The treatments are many, one of them is behavioural therapy.

 

 

Sometimes we are confused what we are actually going through. Seek medical help first. Nothing to be scared. It is a quite common problem. I would like to apologize if I offend you anyway by my suggestions and for me offering cliched comments. Thank you.

there`s a pulmonary doctor i know who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. 2 years ago they admitted me in the icu due to a heart attack. i was smoking right before the attack came.

so, tell me. how can you cure a way of life?

that was in the movies you saw. not from the book srimad bhagavatam.

Oh? Lord Krsna as Lord Caitanya is in the topmost mood of devotion to Krishna in the mood of Srimati Radharani. In this mood He does not only show us the mood of surrender but the most intimate aspect of that mood.

 

It is the the same message as Krishna gave in the Gita.

wrong. it was krsnah who surrendered to srimati radharani by becoming lord caitanya. not the other way around.

Well, we are still debating (I guess).. But you're welcome of course..

what if i don`t meet your standards?

Maybe he is not a 'doctor' in the sense of a 'physician'. E.g., I’m also a 'doctor (Phd)', but in the sense of a 'neuro-scientist'..

you`re funny, primate. he/she said worked in the hospital(try going over his/her resume). the phd doctor is you primate having defended your thesis on conscious chaos. made ranjeetmore more confused.

Greetings to all devotees,

I am a new member to this site and stumbled upon it when I was looking for spiritual guidance. I am child of the scientific world where I can reason almost any thing .The thing I could not reason with today was the fact that I willingly missed my work where my inner voice kept propelling me to go. I am a doctor by profession and today was my last working day at the hospital. I knew I should have gone but didn't. For most it would not have been a big problem as I have seen my seniors in the past years do that. But I could not reason with my action. And every karma gets rewarded duly with punishments/reward.I am now so disturbed by my action that I feel that all the hard work and possible punya that I had attained by doing my duties sincerely for the past 4years have been washed away with this one action. The guilt is so great that I feel may not be able to enjoy my own graduation for which my family and I had worked so hard. I pray someone here might be able to guide me how to atone for my sin. I feel I am already being punished by it as I do not feel a sense of completeness after my resiency finished.

I grew up in a household my father and mother were always focussed in my education and the spiritual part had been ignored. I believe in the supreme and the karma yogi way of life however I doubt everything that I hear. I am unable to reconcile myself to the idea of following one God like krishna or shiva or devi as when I read their mahimas I am unable to reason with their actions. I have been an irregular follower of Sri Sai Ram over the years. I know God has helped me throughout this hard journey in everyway and whenever I asked or even not asked for. But I feel I need a stable strong one course where I can align who I am with Him. I don't know if I made any sense here but just writing in ths spiritual forum is giving me some relief. If I get a reply I would be really blessed.

Thank you for reading this post

Confused

hi, confused1974. i`m a doctor,too. i`m a catholic ( can`t abandon my family). i`ve been a member of this congregation exactly 9 years now. if you will stick to this forum, we can assure you that you`ll never be the same as before 9 years from now. the processing is slow and yet it`s guaranteed to satisfy your spiritual need to evolve. i know because i`ve been there before. mind you, i`m not that person who`d say, " hi! confused1974. you`re just starting to be on your way while i`m on my way home." nope, i`m not that kind of person. even if i`m going home and meet you while you`re on your way ignore you. i`ll make a u turn if i have to just to keep you company without ado as you journey towards life ahead. there are no promises because promises are made to be broken. yet i know you`re not alone because your " inner voice" is always there to guide you whenever i decide to stop (i`m old) and let you proceed ahead without me to keep you company. hare krsnah always.

The question, "Do you have to born a Hindu to be a Hindu", has no relevance to spiritual life because being a'Hindu' is not the goal of a transcendentalist.

 

To realize oneself as the servant of the Supreme Self is the supreme spiritual goal.

 

Krishna tells us to abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender to Him.

but that last statement " surrender " was made before the advent of lord caitanya. i am more interested what krsnah said thereafter. lord caitanya is krsnah.

primate and bhaktajan, why is it that it`s always you two debating. why do you always leave me out of the picture.three is no longer a crowd but a company.

Why are you annoyed Sant? Melvin is a true lover ...accept him

you are very funny, ronin.

aren`t we all hindus in the 1st place even if we were not born in india? the culture in goloka vrndavan in the spiritual sky is hindu. the reflection she gave the planet on earth when it fell got in contact with matter. the one reflection that passed through the screen/filter reached that part on earth we call india. so its just a matter of time to realize that those who were not born in india they, too, were hindus after they have shed off matter.

thanks but why sir may i ask

i`ll be 52 years old on november 3. life is short. the average life span of human beings is 65. there`s a difference of 13 years before i turn 65. what if along the way i won`t reach 65?

whatever i am is due to gods grace.

i am sorry i know i should learn to grace what god has given me but you can call me marginal self realised and that but not a pure devotee.not now.

a bhakt is one who wants to serve the lord.thats it. when i truly get that realisation please then i wouldnt mind.after the 9 types of bhakti truly come to me due to lords grace then .

i probably won`t be there when you achieve that one. so, before i depart to dreamland without coming back, at least, you will remember me for calling you one once.

this is disgusting.

i dont fit in the qualities of a devotee.

sir stop it.

im not

but i will be one day hopefully.

if you realise what i do you wont call me one.

and stop defaming the devotees by calling me one.

my request.

so, sant, i will call you a marginal self-realized pure devotee of God. if this still disgusts you, i am just quoting what lord caitanya said to sanatana goswami. if you still wont accept it, then you probably have`nt been rewarded for the devotional work you`ve been doing 7 hundred plus replies ago.

oh well, we can not please everyone.

1. Importance of flowers in puja ritual

 

There are subtle frequencies of deities active in the atmosphere. These frequencies are attracted towards certain flowers. These frequencies are then emitted back into atmosphere and are then known as ‘

pavitrak

’. Before we come to the topic of spiritual benefits of offering flowers, let us first see the difference between frequencies and

pavitraks

.

 

• The subtle principle of deities attracted to a flower from space is called frequencies while the same deity principle when gets emited into atmosphere is called as
  pavitrak
  .
  
  
• The frequencies are subtle most and comparatively more unmanifest (
  nirgun
  ) form of deity principle while a
  pavitrak
  is the subtle and manifest form of the same deity principle.

 

Let us now see the subtle drawing of a Hibiscus flower

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• The Ganesh principle present in the universe gets attracted towards the central space of the red coloured Hibiscus flower and is emitted in the form of circles.
  
  
• The Ganesh principle which is absorbed by the stem of the flower gets emitted through the petals in the atmosphere.
  
  
• The stamen of the flower absorbs the Ganesh principle present in the atmosphere and emits the particles which donate vital energy or
  pranshakti
  .
  
  
• The Hibiscus flower is of
  raja-sattva
  nature. As a result divine energy (
  shakti
  ) and divine consciousness (
  chaitanya
  ) are emitted from its petals.

 

Thus this subtle drawing must have made it clear to our viewers as to how the frequencies of deity principles are attracted towards flower and how through the medium of various parts of flower the same deity frequencies are emitted in the atmosphere in the form of

pavitraks

. Thus it is quite clear that the emission or projection of deity principles and

pavitraks

is a process taking place at a spiritual level. The effect of this process is multifold. One of this is reduction in the strengh of

raja-tama

principle present in the atmosphere.

 

The negative energies present in the atmosphere get distressed due to the deity principle

pavitraks

projected by the

sattvik

flowers. Their

tama

component dominated energy or what we call as black energy is either reduce or gets destroyed. In short the

sattvik

flowers fight with the negative energies present in the atmosphere by emitting frequencies of deity principles. Such flowers when brought into contact with a person suffering from the distress of negative energy then the negative energy which has entered the person subsides.

 

To understand this topic clearly will have to first know the distinction between ‘Negative energy’ and ‘black energy’. There are some distressing energies in the atmosphere which trouble us. They are subtle in nature. They are called ‘negative energies’. The energy of deities is known by the terms such as

chaitanya

(divine consciousness), bliss(

ananda

) and

shanti

(peace) while the energy of negative energies is known as ‘black energy’. The deities are

sattva

predominant while the negative energies are

tama

predominant!

 

A deity looks after our welfare whereas negative energies does us harm. When a person is severely affected by the negative energy distress, his control over his mind, body and intellect is reduced and that of negative energy is increased. This affects the thoughts, emotions etc of the person. Such an affected person when come in contact with an atmosphere predominant in

sattva

component then there is friction between the positive

sattva

atmosphere and negative energy. This can manifest in various forms. This may be in the form of a simple thought of leaving the place or a violent reaction. Sometimes these destructive thoughts can become manifest on a physical level. Under such circumstances the negative energy may manifest grossly in the form of sudden burst of anger, shouting, throwing of objects and not only this, it may take any form of destruction such as plundering and breaking of surrounding things.

 

This must have definitely introduced you to the topic of distressing or negative energies. So let us move back to the original topic where we are going to see the effect of

sattvik

flowers on negative energies.

 

 

 

 

 

Let us see the effect of hibiscus flower on the woman suffering from distress of negative energy in the subtle dimension with the help of a subtle drawing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Shri Ganesh principle frequencies present in the universe get attracted to the Hibiscus flower.
  
  
• The attracted frequencies get converted into
  shakti
  and
  chaitanya
  and are emitted in the atmosphere.
  
  
• The emitted energy is of destroyer type that it reduces the covering of black energy generated by the negative energy around the woman.
  
  
• There is formation of
  chaitanya
  in the heart of the woman as a result of emitted
  chaitanya
  .
  
  
• The subtle particles of destroyer form of energy are projected in the atmosphere.

 

This subtle drawing must have helped you to understand the importance of

sattvik

flowers. When we offer such

sattvik

flowers to a deity during

puja

then the deity frequencies are emitted from the flowers on a large scale. This not only benefits the worshipper but also makes the surrounding atmosphere

sattvik

.

 

 

 

 

sant, we call the hibiscus flower " gumamela ". she comes with a variety of colors, red ones, yellow-orange, orange, yellow,etc. my father dr. mario c. mabalay, a dermatologist, pathologist, and family physician has turned our front lawn into a jungle of gumamela plants. i always wondered why. now, i know. thanks!

lord caitanya did`nt want of any of these, did he? but it came in droves. what did he say to sanatana goswami regarding his wealth? what did he say to his beautiful wife? what did he say to his followers when they came? did he threw them away?

i hope this will end the issue to quote lord caitanya,

" O almighty Lord, I have no desire to accumulate wealth, nor do I desire beautiful women, nor do I want any number of followers. I only want Your causeless devotional service birth after birth."

because they will just come to you without asking?

my brother and friend, sant, is a self-realized pure devotee of God.

people don`t have to be cruel and ruthless. a straight forward yes or no would suffice. people want some answers. like going inside a gov`t agency, the tax department. there were so many there asking questions from a corrupt employee. when my turn came all i wanted was an answer if i was qualified to be given a tax refund. neither did he said no or yes. he just stared at me. do i have to say this again that indeed money talks?

and finally did you get a guru ?

yup, my dear sambya. the vani i found inside every page of the book srimad bhagavatam
