Greetings Brothers and Sisters,

 I noticed something and wanted to get your advice if this is a coincidence or

something else.

I do a few hours of japa. I don't do it regularly. It's more like once a few

days. I've noticed rain coming down the day after of my japa days. I've been

doing it for a month now and its consistently happenning and seems too much of a

coincidence to not notice.

 

Is there some significance to this? Or is it just a simple coincidence?

Bob

Powerful Tantric sadhakas have noticed the same phenomenon during monsoon

season in India!

Namaste:

 

Your own personal synchronicities are quite interesting, but I wouldn't read

much into it. Certainly I'd avoid *trying* to making it rain while doing

japa - Maa knows the planet needs us to stop messing with the climate! :)

 

In all seriousness, I too have noticed unusual occurrences that match up

with my irregular practice. Whether it's simply a psychological phenomenon

or the Divine trying to tell me something is a great mystery. Maybe it is

best to leave it that way?

 

Jai Maa.

If one says japa in the rainy season, it will rain, of course. Rather than

the japa affecting the weather, have you thought about it in the opposite

direction? That perhaps the weather has affected your desire to do japa?

That is far more likely.

 

Assuming that we are directly affecting global weather patterns with our

practice is a trick of the ego. Better to remain humble and remind ourselves

that the world doesn't revolve around us and our practice.

There is a specific procedure for praying for rains, which I have watched done

by adept priests. This includes standing in neck deep water, doing varuna japam

and also performing certain yagnas to pray to the rain gods. The procedure is

done when there is a long dry spell and agriculture and other trades suffer due

to want of rains. It is not that a single person does some japam and heavens

come splitting down on our heads.

 

If it be so, a one thousand crore pranaams to such a saadhak.
