Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Pranam: If one dreams of a different time and place, and the "sins" commited in that time and place and those acts directly relate to impulses and preocupations (with the same sinful act) in the current incarnation, is it reasonable to believe that this is an actual rememberance of sins created and karmas aquired by the jiva (is jiva correct in this context?) in that previous life? If this is the case, then what is one to do with these so called rememberances? Sin as I understand the term can not be undone, does this so called rememberance add to the original karmic debt that was incurred by jiva at that previous time? Or is the weight of the debt increased or decreased depending on the "mindset" of the dreaming self? My assumption is that it has to be dealt with, even though those impulses have not been physically acted upon in the current incarnation, they have been commited by the jiva in the previous life. Assuming that all the above is accurate, how then does the current self dispose of the matter once and for all? I appologize if this is unwieldy or obtuse but I'm having a hard time getting my head wraped around it. I believe my "gut" gets it, but the head is a different matter. Thank you for your learned consideration. I thank God Shiva for his mercy. Om Nama Shivaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Dear Sri Ed, I am answering your question from my own limited perspective. Other learned scholars on the list can perhaps provide a better answer. In the Vedic culture the name of the Lord occupies a very important position. So personally, I consider 2 mantras to be very important - Gayatri mantra and "Om Namah Sivaya". By regular mental (maybe verbal to begin with) chanting of these mantras, it is my firm conviction that both negative and positive karmaphalas can be avoided. Note that when we don't have sense of doership, we don't even reap anything due to our "good actions". All actions get burnt in the fire of knowledge. This knowledge is ofcourse rare and difficult to get. It may take several births but the goal or end result is extremely simple and right here. That goal in my understanding is that I am not this body, mind or intellect. I am that awareness , that consciousness because of which this body/mind/intellect function. Awareness never performs any action - it is here and now and attributeless (nirguna). So my personal advise is to forget about past, just chant the holy name of the Lord everyday, at the same time , same place, with devotion and faith. regards, Om Namah Sivaya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Namaskaar Ed So we meet again..... lol. There are a number of ways of looking at this question Scriptures divide Karma into three kinds: Sanchita (accumulated), Prarabdha (fruit-bearing) and Kriyamana (current) karma. All kriyamana karmas become sanchita karma upon completion. From this stock of sanchita karma, a handful is taken out to serve one lifetime and this handful of actions which has begun to bear fruit and which will be exhausted only on their fruit being enjoyed and not otherwise, is known as prarabdha karma. In this way, so long as the stock of sanchita karma lasts, a part of it continues to be taken out as prarabdha karma for being enjoyed in one lifetime, leading to the cycle of birth and death. A jiva cannot attain Moksha until the accumulated sanchita karmas are not completely exhausted. Now according to theory we are both constantly exhausting while replenishing our Karmic stock, sins are of two types - physical and mental and both of these types of experiences are stored in our Astral body in the form of energy pictures. When we reincarnate and we perform sadhana, we achieve a state of either high energy or stillness. What happens is that these energy pictures become enlivened to "teach" us lessons that are not resolved in our consciousness. Our subconscious mind projects these to help us to eradicate the burden that it carries. By purifying the conscious and subconscious mind we achieve a state of oneness with divinity and all. If one dreams of a different time and place, and the "sins" commited in that time and place and those acts directly relate to impulses and preocupations (with the same sinful act) in the current incarnation, is it reasonable to believe that this is an actual rememberance of sins created and karmas aquired by the jiva (is jiva correct in this context?) in that previous life? Yes it is, as the energy picture is triggered when a Samskara or Vasana in the mind resonates with the experience at hand. Jiva is correct in this context If this is the case, then what is one to do with these so called rememberances? You can learn a lesson from the memory and resolve not to to act in a similar way as you did in a prior lifetime or you can choose to let it just float out of your consciousness if it is trivial. At any given point your brain is processing approximately 100 million messages per second of which only about 10-20 get selected at any given time. There fore your subconscious mind stores a lot of junk information too. Which is why it is important to be careful of how you program the mind with what thoughts. Sin as I understand the term can not be undone, does this so called rememberance add to the original karmic debt that was incurred by jiva at that previous time? No it doesn't, you commit the sin - once unless you choose to repeat your mistake of the past. Or is the weight of the debt increased or decreased depending on the "mindset" of the dreaming self? My assumption is that it has to be dealt with, even though those impulses have not been physically acted upon in the current incarnation, they have been commited by the jiva in the previous life. Assuming that all the above is accurate, how then does the current self dispose of the matter once and for all? Ok you cannot dispose of this matter in large quantities, if you do it is usually very painful as this is what comprises of your physical body. What you can do is to transmute the energy into light and offer it up to the divine. This is why purity system (saucha) is essential as it helps to reduce the amount of negativity how to do this is as follows You can perform Sandhya Puja as its purpose is to rid you of sins committed by absorbing divine light. The more intensively you perform, the better your chances of correcting the problems in your consciousness. You can use a high energy source such as Havan or crystals to assist in the reprogramming of your conscious and subconscious mind and transmutation of the negative energy into light. (this is a very detailed discussion which I cannot go into right now ) Here's a secret ALWAYS THANK GOD FOR WHAT GOD HAS PROVIDED AND ASK FOR GUIDANCE, LET YOUR INTUITION ASSIST IN GUIDING YOU. Learn to trust your instincts, you will make errors at first but when you fine tune your intuition you will be surprised at how accurate it becomes.. Say thanks even when things are not going the way you want them to and see what happens. I hope I have answered the questions adequately. I am sorry if I am not clear but these are difficult to explain without going into a lot of detail. Om Namah Shivaya Best Regards PAndit Devindra Maharaj Finding fabulous fares is fun.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Namaskaar I have not read this but don't think it is true either, the way laws of God work is they don't stop at certain times, they work 24/7-365 days per year ! God is the only being that can determine whether or not to include something My advice is try not to engage in activity that is known to be wrong for non sensical and petty reasons, if it is absolutely required then and only then should you pursue this course. For example if someone is trying to harm you physically or spiritually, thinking good things of him will only result in you getting harmed, by thinking negatively (expressing anger or violence) you can avert harm to yourself ! Self defense is no offense !

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Dear Sri Mahadevadvaita, Thank you for taking the time to respond. It is interesting to note that I have been chanting the Panchakshara regularly. I have faith in Mahadev's mercy and have no doubt that as I examine this life and the countless other existences that go into making up "this self" that the dross will be burnt away leaving only the truth.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Pranam Sri Devindra Maharaj; Meeting again, yes as if by design lol... /"When we reincarnate and we perform sadhana, we achieve a state of either high energy or stillness. What happens is that these energy pictures become enlivened to "teach" us lessons that are not resolved in our consciousness." /Yes and this is precisely as it seemed. The dream or remembrance as I prefer to call it was like what you describe as "energy pictures" with this self watching that self as the doer. The most profound feeling of regret and remorse occurred that it woke me up. It's a shame that Jiva didn't know then what it knows now... More importantly I am in a better position to consciously be aware of a small piece of what has brought me to this point, to know with consciousness, to be aware with consciousness, and to let go in consciousness. / "Ok you cannot dispose of this matter in large quantities, if you do it is usually very painful as this is what comprises of your physical body. What you can do is to transmute the energy into light and offer it up to the divine. This is why purity system (saucha) is essential as it helps to reduce the amount of negativity"/ If I'm understanding this correctly then all of the actions of Jiva in previous existences go into the makeup of the "current" physical self? So is it right to assume that a gross, licentious, avaricious, insatiable previous life would produce a heavy and sluggish lazy body type in the current form? Is this why so many saints seem to be of slight physical make up, because they have burnt up the accumulated dross? Then the body, though unimportant in the great scheme of things does represent the symptomology of the accumulated whole? If this is the case, then this is the root of diseases and infirmities as well as the positive physical attributes we carry? /"how to do this is as follows: You can perform Sandhya Puja" /Thank you, I will begin trying to learn this/. / Most thankful regards, Ed. I thank God Shiva for his mercy. Om Nama Shivaya. // Dev Maharaj wrote: > Namaskaar Ed > > So we meet again..... lol. > There are a number of ways of looking at this question > > Scriptures divide Karma into three kinds: /Sanchita > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanchita_karma>/ > (accumulated), /Prarabdha > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prarabdha_karma>/ (fruit-bearing) and > /Kriyamana <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriyamana_karma>/ > (current) karma.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Dear all, I feel, the accumulated actions (sins or virtues) do contribute to the current active physical make up ( defects, diseases, beauty, etc) of the personality. Currently, I have some skin disease on my left leg, near the foot. Though it is a chronic one (for the last 5 years), it is not very serious, and probably gradually healing. According to the psychic reading given by my Guru, it was related to past lives' sin of not attending to parents properly, abusing and beating them. In a next life, that sin resulted in a serious disease leading to blood gangrene. I was told that I had ended my life, unable to bear that pain. But the karma was not fully exhausted. The remnants are seen now. Me and my brother were twins, and we shared this burden together. He had a similar problem of skin disease few years ago, which is now completely cured.
