Gita and Bhuta shuddhi thru sudarshan kriya

-
 Gita chapter 7
focus on Jnana, vijnana
complete knowledge
nothing left to be known

Value of this knowledge?
leads to highest siddhi
even sidhas have not reached
thats the pinnacle promise

what we see around
are his energies
the inner spirit
is his superior energy

Spirit and matter
the summum bonum
are his energies
but we are born to illusion

4 kinds of people who surrender
4 kinds who dont surrender
some surrender to anya devata
but be intelligent!!!

be focussed
dont waste time
human life is limited
invest in devotion to Sri Hari

bhuta shuddhi thru yoga and pranayama
earth and air purification
bhumi apa anala vayu kham
5 element purification is needed

before worship of transcendence
Sudarshan kriya is one way
there are other yoga practices
surya namaskar achieves bhuta shuddhi

Earth - vyayam and joint rotation
air - pranayama
Omkara and mantras - ether
fire and water included by default

yoga takes care of Bhumi
Pranayama and mantra meditation - vayu and kham
apa and anala are sandwiched between
yoga+pranayam+meditation -> a complete package for bhuta suddhi

simplest shuddhi
when you dont have time
perfom nadi shodhan
achieves balance - samatvam
Samatvam yoga ucyate

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
