Meditations on Transcendence

  Recognize the divine within and see, In every heart, the spirit free. With wisdom's light, let illusions fall, Embrace the truth, the essence of all. सर्वात्मानं स्वयं विज्ञाय, हृदये सर्वेषु आत्मा मुक्तः। ज्ञानेन प्रकाशे मोहं त्यज, सत्यं आलिङ्ग्य, सर्वस्य सारं। Illusion melts away when you see that the owner behind the illusory energy is Satya 'reality' truth

Vasur Vasurmanah Satyah Samaatma Sammitah Samah      | Amoghah Pundarikaksho Vrishakarma Vrishakritih           ||12||   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In shadows cast by ancient lore, Where dharma’s light once brightly bore, The form of Vrusha, pure and grand, Emanates truth across the land. Through avatars in myriad guise, Their essence melts the darkened lies, As layers peel, the soul stands bare, In proximity, the mind grows clear. The siddhi found in dharma's light, By avatars’ grace, dispels the night, Their stories told in simple prose, Unveil the truth beneath our woes. Apara dharma, transient thrall, Through sense and matter’s heavy pall, Dissolves when hearing tales divine, Of Vrusha’s deeds, the heart aligns. In daily rites, through sacred sound, Where Vrusha's virtues do abound, We cleanse the layers that obscure, To find the essence, pure and sure.

 Inverted trees, roots up high,  Tolerance like a tree, let the storms pass by, Water the roots, feel the growth inside, Vrikshasana strong, stand tall with pride. Sacred groves, where the divine resides, Bearing fruits of wisdom, let love be your guide, Balance, strength, from earth to sky, Spiritual growth, reach for the light, don't be shy!

 **The Symbolism of the Tree in Spiritual Growth** The tree, with its profound symbolism and universal presence, serves as a powerful metaphor for spiritual growth across various traditions and teachings. From ancient scriptures to modern practices, the tree exemplifies strength, endurance, and the interconnectedness of life. Here, we explore why the tree stands as such an exemplary model for spiritual growth. One of the most striking references to the tree in spiritual literature is the concept of the inverted tree, or "urdhva mūlam," as described in the Bhagavad Gita. This image depicts the tree with its roots upward and branches downward, symbolizing the eternal connection to the divine and the temporal world. The roots represent the unseen, spiritual foundation, while the branches signify the manifested universe. This metaphor underscores the idea that true spiritual growth originates from an internal, divine source. Another profound example is the notion of tolerance, il

 A person, Purusha, a reservoir true, Of eternity, knowledge, bliss profound, In these sacred waters, bathe anew, For in this pool, true solace can be found. Seek not beyond, for here your journey ends, Like rasogulla in sweet syrup lies, Take a dip where divine essence blends, In satchitananda, where joy never dies. In the Gita, Krishna's words do shine, "Tam eva viditvāti mṛtyum eti," Know Him alone, transcend the mortal line, No other path to liberation be. In divine sound's embrace, find your rest, In satchitananda, you are truly blessed.

Discovering the Supreme: A Journey with Sri Krishna As a humble part of the grand cosmic play, I find myself blogging about the Supreme Person, Sri Krishna. Life often poses the question: What to do? How to make existence truly nectarean? The answer is deceptively simple: elevate your energy. According to the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, energies are classified into two types: Mohini Prakriti and Daivi Prakriti. Mohini Prakriti offers fleeting, discreet joy. It’s the artificial, simulated pulse of happiness that many chase. In contrast, Daivi Prakriti is the realm of continuous, unbroken joy. Here, being itself is bliss. For those who aspire to make human life successful and meaningful, Daivi Prakriti is the way forward.  The Gita teaches us that "Prapadyante" – surrender – is the key. This act of surrender is the doorway to love, stripping away the ownership mindset. In surrender, you become His, and in feeling His presence, Daivi Prakriti flows through your veins.

In the Flow of Time In life's fierce storms, we stand, Facing failures, unplanned, Yet our hearts keep the chant, Bhajan of the Lord, we can't recant. Time's vast ocean, it does sweep, The world, in its currents, deep, Control it? We can't even peep, Yet our spirits, strong, we keep. Adversity must be faced, With resilience, firmly placed, Spiritual tools, we embrace, Transcend the worldly, with grace. Turn hardship into sacred fire, Perform bhajan, hearts aspire, Profit doubly, lift higher, In atma's growth, never tire. See the good, though waves are tall, In adversity, find the call, With eyes of sastra, we see all, Tolerance, our guide through it all. "duḥkheṣv anudvigna-manāḥ sukheṣu vigata-spṛhaḥ vīta-rāga-bhaya-krodhaḥ sthita-dhīr munir ucyate" (Bhagavad Gita 2.56)
