Self Enquiry/आत्म विचार/आत्म ध्यान - Timely Shot in the arm

Namaste, Wanted to post a worthwhile thing before taking an indefinite break from this space and lo! this link was dropped-in by a friend unasked.

Those who are spiritually inclined & striving to liberate themselves forever, no matter what stage of evolution they are, will be deeply inspired to go for THAT with renewed clarity & vigor. At least so i hope! http://sri-ramana-maharshi.blogspot.co.uk/2008/06/robert-adams-again.html Pranāms to my परम गुरू रमणमहर्षी _/\_

Unique Configuration in Narendra Modi's Chart

Image
31.12.2016 मित्रों.... नमस्ते :-) Last micro-post of this great year of "overhauling" for Bharat to remove many of stinking garbages of 7 or more decades! I am not sure if any one in astrology has observed/mentioned/discussed one "Unique" and rarely found curious phenomena in Shri Narendra Modiji's chart. Finally i thought of putting it here for interested readers on this last day of this Year of multiple Surgical Strikes! In NaMo's chart, as many as 4 Grahas, are "Exactly on the very boarders of Rashis". 3 Grahas, namely Sun, Mercury and Mars are on 1st degree of Sign(s) and Shani is on the 30th Degree of a Sign. Following are exact details: Sun - 0 Virgo 33' Merc - 0 Virgo 46' Shani - 29 Leo 40' Mars - 0 Scorpio 56' Refer this picture : This has to be one of the few exceptional astrogical features which, i am sure, have contributed to the phenominal destiny of this unique son of Hiraben and (Swargiya) Damodar...

Narendra Modi's Birth day - a crucial clue to Astrologers!

30.12 (My Guru Ramana Maharshi's birth day as per English calendar) A few times over past 4 years, i tried to satiate my curiosity to see the opinions, analysis of various astrologers around the world on Narendra Modi ji's astrological chart. As expected, Vedic Jyotish (Hindu Jyotish Shastra) practitioners have relied upon few different "timings of his birth" available on internet and various other sources. Most are considering 17.09.1950 is the date though. However, what surprised me is that there are a few, who actually considered different dates too (i.e. different day, Month, year or all of them). meaning they considered 'other than' popularly accepted 17.09.1950. We astrologers have an inherent weakness. (This weakness has large share from the enormous complications in this Shaastra of Vedic Jyotish). We can effortlessly justify any chart for any event/personality. To give an idea, we can royally fit a Narendra Modi in a real chart of Manmohan Singh...

॥ Satsang-6 ॥ Ribhu Geetā Ch.26 (Recommended by Ramana Maharshi)

Salutations to सच्चिदानंद ब्रह्म. Relatively lesser known Ribhu Geetā is the sixth section of Shiva Rahasya - the ancient treaty which carries teachings of Ishwar (Shiva) imparted to his devotee Ribhu. Like Ashtavakra Geetā, Ribhu Geetā too is the purest Advaitic form of teaching which carries the highest and sublimest spiritual knowledge given away by none other than Shiva himself. This treaty was later freely translated into "Tamil verses" by a highly reputed Vedic scholar by name Bhikshu Sastri who was also an accomplished scholar in Tamil. He translated the work under the name of Ulaganatha Swami and the work carries of 1924 verses in total. It is evident from various records that Shri Ramana Maharshi strongly recommended recital of Ribhu Geetā (along with Ashtāvakra Geetā) as a strong support for Spiritual Sadhana. He was of the opinion that recital of 26th chapter (Tamil version) is especially powerful which can lead to spontaneous abidance in the SELF (Aatman/...

॥ Satsang-5 ॥ Ashtāvakra Geeta audio link

Namaste, अष्टावक्र गीता documented in 20 chapters, is one of the few crowning glories which describes pinnacle of spiritual development in Vedic culture. This highly popular treaty amongst seekers of various paths, is the discourse between अष्टावक्र ऋषी and जनक राजा covering varieties of spiritual topics such as ways of attaining Liberation, nature of Brahmn (Atmā/Self), nature of Self realized gyāni, internalized experiences of the Gyaani etc... Giving few verses here: The start of the treaty is with King Janak asking a question and reply of Rishi Ashtāvakra. 1) कथंज्ञानमवाप्नोति कथंमुक्तिर्भविष्यति । वैराग्यंचकथंप्राप्त मेतत्ब्रूहि मम प्रभो ॥ [KathamGyānamvāpnoti KathamMuktirBhavishyati  VairāgyamchKathamPrāpt MetatBruhi mam Prabho] ( Janak said- How can knowledge be acquired? How can liberation be attained? How is renunciation possible? Tell me this, O Prabhu.) 2) Rishi Ashtāvakra replies (and with this verse the 1st chapter of AV Geeta begins) मुक्तिमिच्छसिचेत्त...

Lost Home! -Childhood memories of a Kashmiri Hindu woman...

Writer: Suveni Kaul ‘Kashmir’, as this word flash across the mind, what comes alive is my very vivid childhood. So vivid, that even after 25 years, I can still feel the warmth of the winter sunshine, smell those bright roses of spring and hear the rustling of the autumn gold….Everything, after the winter of 1990 in my life is like a blur. Life just went on fast-forward and years have gone by like days yet Kashmir is tha place where time for me has eternally stopped.... Life in Kashmir for me, oscillated around the banks of the river, ironically called, ‘Doodh Ganga’ (milky Ganga). It was anything but ‘milky’. It was always muddy, yet very much a living, breathing river. Over the ‘Doodh Ganga’, hung a rickety old wooden bridge, which sometimes gave away during heavy rains. On one side of this river, was my unassuming home, which my father had built with scant resources, at the young age of 25 to put a roof over the head of his family and his ageing parents. And on the other...
