 guḍhaṁ paraṁ brahma manuṣya-liṅgam — Paraṁ Brahma, hidden in human form.

Isn’t this a wonderful thought? Guḍham means hidden, concealed; Paraṁ Brahma is the Supreme Reality; manuṣya-liṅgam means appearing in the form or sign of a human being. The Supreme comes among us in disguise, wearing a manuṣya-deha, a human body. He does not necessarily announce Himself. He walks among us, speaks with us, laughs with us, lives apparently ordinary lives. For some, He remains a mystery. For others, saṁśaya, doubt arises: How can the Supreme be here? How can the Infinite appear finite? But perhaps that is the beauty of the disguise. When we look merely with the eyes, we see only the human form. When we look with awareness and love, the same human form can become transparent, and something deeper begins to reveal itself.

So, just chill. 😊 Saṁsāra need not be a frightening place. Think of it as a vast cosmic simulation in which we encounter beings whose true nature we cannot always recognize. There may be devas, angels, sages and extraordinary beings moving among us. And sometimes, perhaps, Paraṁ Brahma Himself may be roaming around among us, hidden in plain sight. We may fail to recognize Him, and that is okay. The mystery is part of the līlā. We don't have to fear every unknown thing; we can simply remain aware, loving and attentive. Because who knows who is standing before us? The Infinite may be wearing the costume of the finite. Paraṁ Brahma may be in disguise. Isn't that wonderful? ✨

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.

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?

Bliss channel thru Rasamayi Sewa

-
 **"When you invoke and offer pure devotional service, it immediately opens up a channel where amṛtam flows from the Lord to the devotee's heart. One gets an experience of beyond time, beyond past, present, and future, into the eternal present."** In the Hegelian sense, the devotee in *bhakti* transcends the finite, moving beyond the subjective self into an absolute union with the Divine. This *amṛtam*, the nectar flowing from God, represents an *aufhebung*—a synthesis wherein the devotee’s individual consciousness is both negated and preserved within the divine essence. Time as a dialectical construct dissolves here; past, present, and future are negated in favor of the eternal present, a pure unity of Being and Becoming. This state embodies Hegel’s Absolute Spirit, an all-encompassing reality where finite worship and infinite love converge in eternal, unbounded devotion.
