Suresh John Introduction

[Guest guest]

Thank you Suresh,

This example is most sensible.

I have been doing somewhat of which you speak.

One round (108) of Japa with Om Namah Shivaya mantra a day in the morning.

I have chosen the Lord Shiva as my Ishta Devata as I feel drawn to him most of all.

I do play devotional music when I can in my home and in my car I chant along. I do not have a Shiva lingam and I am not familiar with the practice of offering water. Can you recomend a way I can do this devotion, please ?

Thank you for your kindness and shared wisdom.

Namaskar, John.

OM NAMAH SHIVAYA,

 

YES IN KALIYUGA,

LIFE OF MODERN MAN IS VERY SHORT,

MAN HAS TO EARN, SO THAT HE CAN LEARN TO UNITE WITH GOD.

HE HAS TO ACHIEVE ALMOST EVERYTHING WITHIN A SHORT SPAN OF LIFE,

 

YOUR QUESTION IS ,HOW IS IT POSSIBLE ?

A DEVOTEE SHOULD BE LESS RITUALISTIC AND BE MORE SPIRITUALISTIC

IN APPROACH TO GOD.

 

BHAKTI, PURE DEVOTION, BECOZ BAKTI CROSSES ALL DO'S AND DONT'S

 

GOD IS PLEASED WITH A DEVOTEE,

EVEN IF HE OFFERS A SINGLE PETAL, A LEAF TO GOD OUT OF

PURE DEVOTION.

 

IN BHAKTI WHAT YOU DO AND OFFER TO GOD OUT OF LOVE,THAT ITSELF

BECOMES A RITUAL.

 

TRY YOURSELF AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS !!!

 

JUST OFFER PURE WATER ON SHIVALINGA EVERY MORNING,

PLACE A SINGLE FLOWER, A BHEL PATRA

CHANT OM-NAMAH-SHIVAYA 5TIMES AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE YOURSELF.

 

THE MORE AND MORE YOU GET INVOLVED IN RITUALS, THE MORE AND

MORE YOU GET ENTANGLED, THEN THE RITUAL ITSELF BECOMES A BARRIER

TO THE GOAL OF REACHING GOD.

 

IN HINDUISM THERE IS SO MANY WAYS TO REACH GOD,

BUT ULTIMATELY YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE ONLY ONE ROUTE,THAT SUITS YOUR

LIFESTYLE THE BEST.

 

WHETHER IT IS LORD SHIVA, MOTHER DURGA, LORD GANESH,LORD VISHNU,...

 

CHOOSE ONE ISTHA DEVATA, TRY TO REACH HIM ONLY,

 

REGARDS,

SURESH
