Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Dear Friends! I appologise to all of You, if my post about Guru subject sounds a little bit aggresive, but my point is, that in my experience I have seen a lot of people being wrongly initiated and mislead, so they had to suffer long and unnecessary ordeals, just because of some ignorant elders, and siddhis they use, in form of same old stories about original successions, lineages,etc. That's religious politics, and I have deepest respect for those few ones who managed to find true lineages and therefore the truth in essence.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 My Friend Guru is Guru he is just like a flower which has lots to offer and we are always like a honey bee searching for nectar. It is irrelevant that he is great or average or he might mislead we should get the best out from him and move to another. If we don't like we can move to some other flower (Guru). Guru (Teacher) is very important in any one's life. It reminds me of a story and if you have time read it, its based on a mantra Sanskrit form " Om Mani Padma Hum " mantra of Avalokiteshvara Tibetan form " Om Mani Peme Hung " mantra of Chenrezig ______ The True Sound of Truth An old story speaks about a similar problem. A devoted meditator, after years concentrating on a particular mantra, had attained enough insight to begin teaching. The student's humility was far from perfect, but the teachers at the monastery were not worried. A few years of successful teaching left the meditator with no thoughts about learning from anyone; but upon hearing about a famous hermit living nearby, the opportunity was too exciting to be passed up. The hermit lived alone on an island at the middle of a lake, so the meditator hired a man with a boat to row across to the island. The meditator was very respectful of the old hermit. As they shared some tea made with herbs the meditator asked him about his spiritual practice. The old man said he had no spiritual practice, except for a mantra which he repeated all the time to himself. The meditator was pleased: the hermit was using the same mantra he used himself -- but when the hermit spoke the mantra aloud, the meditator was horrified! " What's wrong? " asked the hermit. " I don't know what to say. I'm afraid you've wasted your whole life! You are pronouncing the mantra incorrectly! " " Oh, Dear! That is terrible. How should I say it? " The meditator gave the correct pronunciation, and the old hermit was very grateful, asking to be left alone so he could get started right away. On the way back across the lake the meditator, now confirmed as an accomplished teacher, was pondering the sad fate of the hermit. " It's so fortunate that I came along. At least he will have a little time to practice correctly before he dies. " Just then, the meditator noticed that the boatman was looking quite shocked, and turned to see the hermit standing respectfully on the water, next to the boat. " Excuse me, please. I hate to bother you, but I've forgotten the correct pronunciation again. Would you please repeat it for me? " " You obviously don't need it, " stammered the meditator; but the old man persisted in his polite request until the meditator relented and told him again the way he thought the mantra should be pronounced. The old hermit was saying the mantra very carefully, slowly, over and over, as he walked across the surface of the water back to the island. sacred-objects , summa iru anama <typhon777 wrote: > > > Dear Friends!

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Dear Sophia! You have to understand that in western countries the subject of guru has been introduced by "the Beatels" when they came back from India together with Maharishi (who at the end of his life in Belgium had his own type of money, no $, no euros), and his TM system of meditation. In the 70' same thing happend with Osho and his system of teachings, and then there were Hare Krishna. In the 80' Sai Baba teachings reached west. By the end of 70' americans started using 'guru' methods (pure bullying of people),in such an aggresive way that if you went there on 'so called' menagment lessons, you were all put in one big room, and the "menagment guru" would humiliate people to such an extent, that if you decide to leave the room, you would be considered a weak person and a looser. Are the westerners so souless and brainless people that they need somebody to humilitate them in order to achieve something? Inquisition of catholic church is milk and honey if you compare it with 70' buissness menagment technique introduced to the world by americans. Then by the end of 80' and in the begining of 90', "age of aquarius" became main spiritual topic together with quartz method of healing. Now, when we all know that we are not living in the "age of aquarius", and that it was just another spiritual propaganda, so what's next? Todays menagment lessons, became so popular, that people are paying ridiculous amounts of money just because they think that they are going to learn a magic formula for getting rich. There in no a single atom of spirituality in western way of thinking, since most of them all want one single thing, and that is MONEY. I have spent my adult years in living in Amsterdam (I had to run away from ex Yugoslavia, because they wanted me to go to war and kill people, for what? for nationalistic pride?), in the most utopic society on this planet earth, where everything is allowed, all main religions of the world are accepted by society, ( I'm talking about Amsterdam, not Holland ). The secret of Amsterdam (even the common Amsterdamers don't know that) is that they have largest esoteric library of western grimmoires and sacred books from the renaissance period. They knew facts about precession of equinoxes, they were aware of astronomical knowledge, and at the end western people were the first ones to make a map of the world. The problem of the West is that even the freemasonry (which is based on kabbalistic dogma) teachings are based on Holy Bible, and from todays point of view some of their lectures sound ridiculous, and are out of date. These days, only true western teachings are ones based on genuine Kabbalah, since it combines unortodox teachings from all basic religions of the middle-east. If you understand egyptian religion, you will see that ALL western religious systems are merest copies of egyptian belief system. Egyptian Animism was, is and always shall be motherhood of all spirituality. My point is that Westerners are too materialistic, while Orientals are too much supperstitious, from my experience. The other day I was watching on National Geographic chanell episode about tsunami, and I remembered that at the time tsunami strike (I was at Sri Lanka in a beach house 20 meters from the ocean) I wasn't affraid for one second ( I ended up holding a tiny branch of a tree ), and when it ended, that was the moment when the emotions kicked in. I lost everything, I mean absolutely everything. Fear is an emotional illusion, and with our senses we are all emotionally attached to the world we perceive. The truth is not out there, the truth is hidden inside, in our heart. A friend of mine was a few years ago in Bangalore, and as you know, Sai Baba chooses every time one person from the ashram to talk to him personally. What Sai baba told my friend was " follow your heart ". I think that I have made my point. What do I personally think about Sai Baba and his western devotees? It's like selling ice to the eskimos. But that's just me and my opinion on the topic of the greatest guru of all times, no strings attached. best wishes & kind regards Vjenceslav sacred-objects@ad .comannethakurDate: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:36:37 -0700 Re: : the greatest guru of all times nAMASKAREVERYONEWELL, I JUST HAVE ONE THING TO SAYno matter what we all think of Satya Sai Baba he said one thing once i shall never forgetand that wasOf all of the many thousands of people that have come to him to ask for things , this and that, no one ever asks for LiberationNow that sums it all up I thinkmokshsophia dalle nyc Discover the new Windows Vista Learn more!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 MOksha all friends in this group I think this discussion is wonderful I really do. We all always need to come back with reminder of bottom line.What are we really here for in this incarnation? what is it we truly seek? Sometimes getting back to basics is a good thing. HOw much is liberation from the endless cycle of 84 lakh really what we seek? or are we still caught up in thinking we can dnace with desire for material transitory phenomena and give lip service to the truth/ anyway i am enjoying this and i thank everyone for expressing their thoughts. all i know if the suffering i see all around me in all things although in the ultimate truth is non existant is very real to those suffering whether in a nimal or human incarnation. now if having a guru or any practice that can lead one out of the continual sanskaras that create that suffering is available and useful than all due haste should be made to avail oneself of that. it helps no one nor does it serve ones true self to denounce the use of a guru who may impar t true wisdom we are not in a position to judge. certainly not. the so called gurus that rip people off i cannot imagine what karmas they are making for themselves the insane spiritual arrogance in t hat regard would be laughable if not so serious as to bum trip a sincere soul . if people want transitory material things and go to guru for such that is of course their business. those who seek the truth have responsibilty to speak it and have compassion for themselves and every one else. The individual self, deluded by forgetfulness of his identity with the divine Self, bewildered by his ego, grieves and is sad. But when he recognizes the worshipful Lord as his own true Self, and beholds his glory, he grieves no more.â€2 These two paragraphs are a perfect summary of the entire Gita. Arjuna is the bewildered and sorrowing atma, the individual self, and Krishna is the divine Paramatma, the Supreme Self from which the atma derives its very being and existence. Forgetful of its true nature as part of the Infinite Spirit, the finite spirit passes through countless experiences that confuse and pain it, producing utterly false conclusions that compound and perpetuate the confusion and pain. Only when the perspective of the Divine Self is entered into, can its troubles cease. We can also think of Arjuna as our lower mortal self, and Krishna as our higher immortal self. Krishna and Arjuna thus represent both God and Man and our own (presently) dual nature as mortal and immortal. Keeping this perspective before us, the ensuing dialogue which forms the Gita is to be seen both as God’s communication to human beings and the communication of our own divine self with our human self–liberation of the spirit (moksha) being their sole intention word Swami Prabhavananda renders “sacred field†is dharmakshetra–the field of dharma. Dharma usually means the right way of thought and action, but it can also mean the accurate expression of one’s own dominant character, for dharma also means “quality.†This entire world is a dharmakshetra, a field upon which we act out the character of our inner makeup–i.e., the quality of our emotions, mind, intellect, and will (not our ultimate being as spirit). We as individuals are each a dharmic field, expressing the actuality of our present level of evolution. humanity as a whole is frightened very frightened hence the continual grasping any religion any guru any practice that does not lead to the truth has much to answer for it is a very tragic state of affairs for many thousands of years. let us be about our business of truth thankyou all for speaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Moksh everyone Hmmmmmmmm.It may or may not be that Satya Sai Baba is authentic I have never met him I know people that are Indian and were raised in india as his devotees and still stick with him i know people the opposite.Whetehr or not he is authentic and lied through his teeth about bestwoing / granting /openign the door to liberation for someone is a serious matter as any some such lying guru At the same time those who seek material evaporating illusions and are willing to pay faux gurus for it ( actually the visual i just saw in my head is pathetic) is just that pathetic. but then they dont get it do they? the greatest illusion of all time and the so called gurus that perpetuate the delusion and suffering this is such a spiritual travesty .because it is these so called gurus that know they are making some nasty karma in fooling poor souls that are suffering. really disgaceful indeed really thoroughly disgraceful for authentic gurus such as Alstrup speaks of i do believe exist although rare. I must say i sincerely sincerely hope we each one of us have come or will come under the grace of suh and hasten our departure off the wheel of 84 lakhs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 i just found this in another group may i post? God's Devotees Have Exclusive Dependence on Only God (June 24, 2008 Posted by: " sadhak_insight " sadhak_insight sadhak_insight Tue Jun 24, 2008 8:59 am ((PDT)) :Shree Hari: 24th June, 2008, Tuesday Aashaad Krishna Shasthi, Vikram Samvat 2065, Mangalvar " He who is desireless (wanting nothing from anyone), who is at all times immersed in Me, calm and quiet, free of aversion (hatred), and with an equal vision, I at all times follow such a great Soul, so that a speck of dust from his lotus feet, rubs off on Me whereby I am purified. (Srimad Bhagavat. 11:14:16). A devotee of God, that desires something from God, is in essence desiring worldly things, because it is only to acquire those things that He is worshipping God, and not for the sake of God Himself. But God is so very generous, that He also considers them as His devotees. (Gita 7:16). Question: In the Gita, those devotees who desire wealth and material prosperity are also called generous by God, " Udaaraah sarve evaiteh " (Gita 7:18), Why? Answer: Even in those devotees are desiring wealth (arthaathi bhakt) from God, in their eyes God is main (primary), whereas the wealth is secondary. Therefore God has said " Caturvidhaa bhajante maam, " (Gita 7:16). Besides God, they do not desire wealth from anyone else. But he who is not a devotee, he who is worshipping God for the sake of satisfying his material desires, cannot attain spiritual upliftment and auspiciousness. As he has not considered God to be the end (saadhya), rather only considered God as the vehicle for fulfilling his desires. His main goal is money, and God is that machine producing equipment. Such an individual leaves God after fulfilling his desires (i.e. God is secondary to him). One woman's husband fell sick. Someone advices her to pray to God to cure her husband's sickness. She prayed exactly as instructed and the husband was healed. Later the husband was once again ill, and she prayed again, but this time the husband died. The woman took the God's idol (statue) and threw it out. Those who pray to God in this manner, cannot attain salvation. But a devotee, who is exclusively depending on God for even his material needs, is still loving to God. The reason is that he is depending on no one else but God as the source for fulfilling his desires. In other words, he has faith, trust and dependecny on only God, and prays to only God for acquiring those things. God not only fulfills the desires of such devotees, such as Dhruv, but in addition, he makes them desireless. From " The Bhagavad Gita - Sadhak Sanjivani " in hindi pg 821 by Swami Ramsukhdasji.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 moksh and then we have the following What is happening on the July 17th Full Moon? Grace Light is coming and God is answering your prayers. This has not happened in several hundred thousand years and is heralded by many Saints of Southern India. This is the time that God, of not one religion but of all religions, in the form of light, is entering and making significant changes on the individual, body and mind level. Grace Light is the light of god. It is invisible to the human eyes but visible to sages, prophets, messiahs, angels and other high beings. Grace Light has incredible intelligence and energy to do anything and everything. It is the almighty power of god. Once it is transmitted into a person the Grace Light will do its work in a miraculous way. It will transform the body, mind and the soul. On the body level there will be significant changes in terms of healing diseases and enhancement of energy levels. The mind will receive greater intelligence to develop different parts of the brain. Grace Light will also positively influence your prosperity and gradually eradicate poverty. Grace Light is golden in color. Gold itself is divine. It is indeed the real money, not the dollar or pound. The divinity of gold is acknowledged by all of the siddha enlightened masters. They found many secretive applications of gold: it can give you longevity, remove karma, create prosperity, save life, etc. Swami Ramalingam had the ability to create 1000 karat gold through his yogic powers. Incidentally the planet that controls gold is Guru (Jupiter). Baba has designed two rituals to appropriately use the July 17th Full Moon. We can receive both material and spiritual blessings on this full moon. To attract wealth towards you through on this divine moon, we are energizing 22K gold coins at the most powerful vortex for Lakshmi. These coins will be empowered with the Grace Light and material prosperity infused in them by Goddess Maha Sundara Lakshmi at Arasar Koil. Maha Sundara Lakshmi contains all 64 Lakshmis within her. Possessing these coins will help attract wealth towards you through divine means. To purchase For each set of gold coins purchased, we will also sponsor the feeding of 10 people on your behalf at Mettukuppam. Mettukuppam is a special energy vortex where the great saint Swami Ramalingam in 1874 transformed his physical body into light and ascended to heaven on a Full Moon day. Much of Swami Ramalingams miraculous transformation was documented by the British. It was his deep prayer that every human should experience Grace Light. The quickest way to access divine grace is to feed a famished person, starving for food and water. To purchase gold coins and feeding Guru Purnima offerings : 27 Gold Coins (1/2 gram each) (Includes S & H) $ 1400 9 Gold Coins (1/2 gram each) (Includes S & H) $ 600 Feeding 54 people at Mettukuppam - Grace Light Ascension Site $ 108 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
