wheel of time

 Wheel of time, Kala Chakra

A circle means coming back repeatedly to the same point

But one can choose to evolve in the circle of time

Hearing to the winds, the pancabhutas can give omens

The flow pattern of water; the blowing of wind etc.....

Ofcourse one needs wisdom to read the fundamental elements, be the wisdom

sri-bhagavan uvaca
kalo 'smi loka-ksaya-krt pravrddho
lokan samahartum iha pravrttah
rte 'pi tvam na bhavisyanti sarve
ye 'vasthitah pratyanikesu yodhah

Loka ksaya - the deterioration of world of matter begins at creation

Create something with a timer to decay and destruct - thats the nature of this world

There a decay timer and destruction embeded, which is ticking right from birth

Some astrologers can get power to read the settings on this span timer

Its a growth towards decay......

Pratyanikesu - one should not be on the opposite side of the Lord

Competing and opposing the Lord 'pratyanikesu yodhah'

Lets not become a opposing warrior

What to do in human life?
There are many options - pursue wealth, fame, position, power, luxury, joy with friends etc....But Bhagavatham has total different take on objective of life......
The human life, however, is an opportunity to get out of this repetition of creation and annihilation. It is a means whereby one may escape the Lord’s external potency and enter into His internal potency.


Moving from external to internal energy is the goal of life - which can award one suprsidati
Anukool sakti Sri Radha is the internal energy
There is death and there is pleasure

A death case and the life of inmates of funeral house

Oliver sachs - car accident - bad dream; elses life


horror movie, drugs - 

one thing, one power, lucky to touch it

Touching the source - stone - surface - clear and opaque - river

floating in river - water moves - take you - thoughts - drift - mind

Maniratnam, Raavanan and Ramayana

-
Last week the movie Ravanan got released in multiple languages – Hindi, tamil, telugu. Its a ManiRatnam magnum opus scripted around the character of Ravana – the ten headed villain in Hindu epic Ramayana. Its about exploring the ten different characters in the same person and how they interact, conflict each other. Is it like a multiple personality disorder? I don’t know – haven’t seen the movie. There is a recent spate of movies based on our holy epics. If Rajneeti by Prakash Jha was a take on Mahabharatha, Mani’s version is inspired by Ramayana. In fact this is a first take on Ramayan being used as base for modern day story telling. Mani has to be credited for his creativity and for going in the direction of unexplored waters. What are these epics? Are they just stories, fables or reality? What makes them holy?

Jadananda and cidananda

-
Recently went on a spiritual vacation to Navadwip. Spiritual vacations are little austere to the material body. We adjust with simple accomodation and pilgrim food. This austerity helps us to be rich in cidananda or conscious pleasure. Can Jadananda and cidananda coexist? I think before going to this question we need to understand the significant difference between the two. Jadananda is the ordinary pleasures of this world. Jadananda is the feeling of happiness derived from the interaction or friction of sense objects with the senses. When there is friction between good food with the taste buds of the tongue, jadananda is generated. Similarly all material gross pleasures are born out of friction. Jadananda is of 2 types - the gross and the subtle. The subtle Jadananda is experienced when we deal emotionally by giving meaning to material identities. Ananda due to the interaction between father and daughter is one of the examples.

Avatar the movie and Bhagavad Gita

Viewing James cameron's Avatar on 3D is an amazing experience. The fact of building an alter ego which is fit to live among the Navi community and being able to control that with the present human body is an amazing concept. It all started with the matrix series where you could enter the matrix using a similar setup. What is building an alter ego? Is it giving rise to another individual to satisfy unsatiated desires, which is possible in the alter ego. Websites like 'Secondlife.com' is a very poor version of the alterego
