Ek-mukhi + Kali Baba

 

Dear all,

 

Ego is the biggest mental block.... I have seen in the past month

that everybody writes

their experiences ...nobody has mentioned anything like a Guru, etc.

without

whom you can't progress much also as per the scriptures reading

mantras from

books is useless...it has to be learnt from a learned person. To

give an

example, as DDji had rightly pointed out that Sanskrit is not just

words each

word has so many meanings...chanting of beeja mantras are

rampant...it is okay

if the person knows the grammer part and understands the beeja

mantra...to cite

an example the beeja mantra "kring" has four distrinct sounds and

each has a

meaning.. ka = kali, ra= brahma, e= mahamaya and the ng (called

anuswar in

sanskrit) = dukha-haran so the beeja mantra kring means "hey

mahamaya kali, the

one who has brahma shakti, get rid of problems"..... anyway before

sitting down

for japa (to be effective) there are lot of things to be done, which

in a few days will take a few mins, like Panchshudhhi - Atma-suddhi,

sthan-suddhi, mantra-suddhi, article - suddhi and Deva-suddhi....it

goes on and

I am not a teacher but a student who takes guidance from his

gurudev...

 

As I said earlier reading mantra from books described as follows:

 

"Pustake Likhitanna mantraanavalokya japet tu yaha

sa jeevanneva chandalo mataha swa chabhijaayate"

 

if a person does not know ista dhyan, kulluka....then he / she is

wasting time

in japa... perhaps this is the reason that DD said he is still

learning though

he is highly learned...

 

Before mantra japa kulluka should be performed and should be seated

on one's

head... for example the kulluka for Lord Shiva is "Om Hrom"....what

is the

meaning of these? Well I really don't have time to explain.... one

has to go far

deep, backwards...!

 

When I sit for japa as per the time given by gurudev... within 30-40

repeatation

I can see Gandharvas moving around playfully... leave aside japa of

4-16 mala

(each mala has 108 beads).... if one is performing japa properly

he / she will

feel fresh after even 16 malas of japa, in my case I can see the

halo of anyone

or object for about 30 mins or so...before or during japa one should

be so pure

that even sneezing, gulping of saliva, etc. is not allowed... it is

better to

stop and start again...

 

Anyway, I have probably written too much for my own good....

 

Jai Maa Kaali!

Namaste and Pranaams Jamini,

 

Thank you for your highly esteemed opinions. Would appreciate if

you would suggest ways to test rudraksha if you happen to know. It

would be wonderful if you could educate us here. We sincerely would

love to learn.

 

Would also appreciate if you refrain from assuming that people being

botanists being not likely to be devotees. This is a very broad

statement of assumption. In India alone, there are many botanists

who are also devoted to Lord Shiva as well as other deities.

 

Once again, thank you for your views.

 

Om Namah Shivaya

... when people talk of x-raying the Rudraksha and at the same time

regard it highly...I wonder what we are coming to... if there is so

much doubt then the person is supposed to be a botanist and not a

devotee of Lord shiva.. umpteen number of tests can be carried out

to determine the uniqueness of each bead...

 

 

but people hardly have any time these days.. all we want is short

cuts.. it is better for us to pick up a piece of stone from Mount

Kailash and wear it...which not equal to Sri Saligram but some kind

of mark from the abode of Lord Shiva...
