SEMA - The Whirling Path to Spirituality & Divine Oneness


A Loving Atma Namaste!

WHAT IS THE LEGACY OF MEVLANA CELAEDDIN RUMI?

The Whirling Dervishes
The "dance" of the Whirling Dervishes is called Sema.
Sema is a part of the inspiration of Mevlana as well as part of the Turkish custom, history, beliefs & culture.
Sema represents a mystical journey of man's spiritual ascent through mind & love to "Perfect."

Turning towards the truth, his growth through love, desert his ego, find the truth & arrive to the "Perfect," then he return from this spiritual journey as a man who reached maturity & a greater perfection, so as to love & to be of service to the whole of creation, to all creatures without discrimination of believes, races, classes & nations.

Sema is part of the inspiration of Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi (1207- 1273) as well as of Turkish custom, history, beliefs & culture. From a scientific viewpoint we witness that contemporary science definitely confirms that the fundamental condition of our existence is to revolve. There is no object, no being which does not revolve & the shared similarity among beings is the revolution of the electrons, protons and neutrons in the atoms, which constitute the structure of each of them.

As a consequence of this similarity, everything revolves & man carries on his live, his very existence by means of the revolution in the atoms, structural stones of his body, by the revolution of his blood, by his coming from the earth & return to it, by his revolving with earth itself. However, all of these are natural, unconscious revolutions. But man is the possessor of a mind & intelligence which distinguishes him from & makes him superior to other beings. Thus the "whirling dervish" or Semazen causes the mind to participate in the shared similarity & revolution of all other beings…

Otherwise, the Sema ceremony represents a mystical journey of man's spiritual ascent through mind & love to "Perfect." Turning towards the truth, his growth through love, desert his ego, find the truth & arrive to the "Perfect," then he return from this spiritual journey as a man who reached maturity and a greater perfection, so as to love & to be of service to the whole of creation, to all creatures without discrimination of believes, races, classes & nations.

Sema consists of seven parts.

The first part: The dervish with his headdress (his ego's tombstone), his white skirt (his ego's shroud) is by removing his black cloak spiritually born to the truth, he journeys & advances there.

At the onset & each stop of the Sema, holding his arms crosswise he represent the number one, & testifies to God's unity. While whirling his arms are open, his right hand directed to the skies ready to receive God's beneficence, looking to his left hand turned toward the earth, he turn from right to left around the heart. This is his way of conveying God's spiritual gift to the people upon whom he looks with the eyes of God. Revolving around the heart, from right to left, he embraces all the mankind, all the creation with affection and love… It starts with an eulogy "Nat-I Serif" to the Prophet, who represents love, and all Prophets before him. To praise them is praising God, who created all of them.

The second part is a drum voice, symbolizing God order to the Creation: "Be."

The third part is an instrumental improvisation "taksim" with a reed "ney." It represents the first breath which gives life to everything. The Divine Breath.

The fourth part is the "dervishes" greetings to each other & their thrice repeated circular walk "Devr-i Veled," with the accompaniment of a music called "peshrev." It symbolize the salutation of soul to soul concealed by shapes & bodies.

The fifth part is the Sema (whirling). It consists of four salutes or "Selam"s. At the end of each as in the onset, the dervish testifies by his appearance to God's unity.

• The first salute is man's birth to truth by feeling & mind. His complete conception of the existence of God as Creator & his state of creature.

• The second salute expresses the rapture of man witnessing the splendor of creation, in front of God's greatness & omnipotence.

• The third salute is the transformation of rapture into love & thereby the sacrifice of mind to love. It is a complete submission, it is annihilation of self with in the loved one, it is unity.

This state of ecstasy is the highest grade in Buddhism, defined as "Nirvana" & in Islam "Fenafillah."

However, the highest rank in Islam is the rank of the Prophet, he is called God's servant first & his messenger afterwards.

The aim of Sema is not unbroken ecstasy & loss of conscious thought.

At the termination of this salute, he approves again by his appearance, arms crosswise the Unity of God, consciously & feelingly.

• The forth salute Just as the Prophet ascends till the "Throne" & then returns to his task on earth, the whirling dervish reaching the state of "Fenafillah," return to his task in creation, to his state of subservience following the termination of his spiritual journey & his ascent.

He is a servant of God, of his Books, of his Prophets & all his creation.

At the sixth part Sema ends with a reading of the Quran & specially of the verse from sura Bakara 2, verse 115,

"Unto God belong the East and the West, & whither over ye turn, you are faced with Him.

He is All-Embracing, All-Knowing."

The seventh part is a prayer for the repose of the souls of all Prophets & all believers.

Let there be Universal Patience, Tolerance & Flexibility!

Loving Blessings be with All!




Whirling before their Sufi Master in the twilight ...


Mevlana Celaddiin-i Rumi is a 13th century philosopher and mystic of Islam who is known throughout the world for his exquisite poems and words of wisdom. The name Mevlana connotes to "our master" while Rumi relates to "the land of Rum", or Anatolia, which is where he lived.


Mevlana was a Muslim, but not a Muslim of the orthodox type. His doctrine advocates unlimited tolerance, positive reasoning, goodness, charity and awareness through love. To him all religions are more or less truth. Looking with the same eye on Muslim, Jew and Christian alike, Mevlana's peaceful and tolerant teaching has appealed to men of all sects and creeds

Exploding with Creativity!


A Loving Atma Namaste!

"Time is an invention. NOW is a reality.

So much creativity is happening from the simple reason that we have withdrawn ourselves from past & future.

Our whole energy remains blocked, either in the past or in the future.

When you withdraw all your energy from the past & future.

A tremendous explosion happens. That explosion is creativity."

Happy Autumnal Equinox!


A Loving Atma Namaste!

Happy Autumnal Equinox!

According to Wikepedia:

An equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the center of the Sun being in the same plane as the Earth's equator.

The term equinox can also be used in a broader sense, meaning the date when such a passage happens. The name "equinox" is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because around the equinox, the night and day are approximately equally long.

It may be better understood to mean that latitudes +L and -L north and south of the Equator experience nights of equal length.

At an equinox, the Sun is at one of two opposite points on the celestial sphere where the celestial equator (i.e. declination 0) and ecliptic intersect. These points of intersection are called equinoctial points: classically, the vernal point and the autumnal point. By extension, the term equinox may denote an equinoctial point.

A Loving Atma Namaste!

"Love is the first ingredient in the relief of Suffering"

This morning we read that tomorrow on the 23rd of September is the "Feast of Padre Pio"

He was canonized on 16 June 2002 & is considered one of the greatest saints of the Roman Catholic Church.

There are saints who have been known for "healing, for "reading" souls, for levitation, bi-location, Stigmata, the "odor of Sanctity" (i.e., the smell of Roses & Violets), & for understanding languages they do not know.

Padre Pio had all of these attributes & more.

He meditated on the Presence of God through the Lord Jesus Christ.

He said, "I am for everyone"

For today, May Loving Blessings be with Everyone!

Milarepa



Trial By Tower-Building

Milarepa's Encounter with Marpa

The road that led to Milarepa's receiving the Teaching of Marpa the Translator was long and difficult, for Milarepa had a dark past to purify. Having perpetrated a great deal of black magic in his youth, he had come to repent of his terrible deeds and begun to search for a Teacher who would help him to practice the true Dharma. Following the advice of two lamas, Milarepa set out for the monastery of Drowo Lung ("Valley of the Birches"), where he hoped to find the renowned Marpa, a personal disciple of the Great Master Naropa. Milarepa was immediately enthralled by Marpa, as he later told his disciples:

"On hearing the name Marpa the Translator, my mind was filled with an inexpressible feeling of delight, and a thrill went through my whole body, setting in motion every hair, while tears started from my eyes, so strong was the feeling of faith aroused in me. I therefore set out with the single purpose of finding this Guru, carrying only a few books and some provisions for the journey. All along the way I was possessed by but one idea: 'When shall I set eyes upon my Guru? When shall I behold his face?'"

On his journey, Milarepa frequently asked passers-by where the great Marpa theTranslator lived. He could find no one who recognized the name until finally one man replied that he knew of a man called Marpa, but he did not know of anyone called Marpa the Translator. Having reached the pass called "Ridge of the Dharma", from which he could see the monastery of Drowo Lung, Milarepa continued on his way.

At last he reached a field where he inquired of a child about Marpa. The child responded, "Do you speak of my father? If so, he bought gold with all our wealth and went to India with it. He brought back many books studded with precious stones. Usually he does not work, but today he is plowing his field." (2)

Milarepa thought it odd that the lama would be working, but he continued walking until he saw a tall monk with large eyes plowing a field. The sight of him filled Milarepa with joy, and he remained motionless for a moment. Then he asked the monk where he could find the house of Marpa the Translator. The monk scrutinized him and then asked, "Who are you?"

Milarepa replied that he was a great sinner come from the Upper Tsang to beg for the Teaching from Marpa. The monk said that he would arrange for Milarepa to meet Marpa and that meanwhile he should plow the field. Milarepa happily took up the plow, and the man went away.

After some time, the child to whom Milarepa had spoken earlier returned to invite Milarepa to his house to serve the lame Marpa. Milarepa finished his work in the field and followed the boy to his house, where he found the same monk he had seen earlier now seated on two cushions covered with a rug. Milarepa was confused and wondered where the lama might be.

When the man explained that he was Marpa, Milarepa immediately bowed at his feet, offering himself completely in service to Marpa. Then Milarepa made a complete confession of all his sins. Marpa responded, "It is good that you offer your body, speech, and mind. But I will not give you food and clothing as well as the teaching.

I will give you food and clothing, but you will have to ask another for the teaching. Or, if I give you the teaching, look elsewhere for food and clothing. Choose between the two. But if you choose the teaching, then whether or not you reach Enlightenment in this life will depend solely on your own striving." (3) Having come for the Teaching, Milarepa chose to look elsewhere for food and clothing, and thus began a series of trials in the service of his Master.

First, Milarepa went begging throughout the valley for food and cooking utensils. Upon returning to the lame's home, Milarepa dropped his heavy load, startling Marpa, who pushed at the sack and told Milarepa to take his evil magic away from him.

Chagrined, Milarepa felt he would have to be careful, because his Teacher seemed to be of an irritable nature. He took his sack of food and utensils away and returned to offer the lame a copper cooking pot as a gift.

Marpa received it, and then instructed Milarepa to use his knowledge of magic to bring hailstorms upon two nearby regions and to cast spells on the mountain people who were attacking his disciples. Milarepa performed these tasks, though not without remorse for his actions, and returned to Marpa for the Teaching.

Marpa declared Milarepa to be a great magician, but refused to give him the Teaching in reward for evil deeds. He told Milarepa to heal the mountain people and restore the crops that he had ruined with hail. Again Milarepa obeyed his Teacher, but still Marpa would not instruct him. Instead, he instructed Milarepa to build a tower that the lama could give to his son. Upon receiving the plans, Milarepa began a round tower on the eastern crest of the mountain.

About halfway through the project, Marpa proclaimed that he had not fully considered the tower and that it was not right. He told Milarepa to tear it down and return the earth and stones to their places. Milarepa did this and then, on Marpa's instructions, began a semicircular tower on the western crest of the mountain. Again, halfway through the tower Marpa declared that the building was not right and that Milarepa should return the earth and stones.

Next day Marpa took Milarepa to the top of a mountain to the north, and, explaining that he had been tipsy when he issued the last instructions, asked Milarepa to begin again, this time on a triangular tower. The disciple pointed out that it was wasteful to tear down a tower in the middle of construction, and he begged Marpa to consider carefully if he was certain of what he wanted. Although Marpa firmly declared that this tower would not be torn down, Milarepa was only one-third done when the lama came to ask Milarepa for whom he was building the tower.

Milarepa explained that it was the lama himself who had asked for the tower. It was to be a gift for Marpa's son. Marpa said that he could not remember giving such orders. He must have been crazy. He wondered if he had lost his mind.

"'I clearly remember suspecting it would be like this and respectfully asking you to think about it carefully. You replied it was fully thought out and that this tower would not be demolished,' replied Milarepa." (4)

Marpa asked who was his witness and suggested that perhaps Milarepa was building the triangular tower as a magic triangle with which he would cast spells upon Marpa. And the lama angrily demanded that Milarepa demolish the inauspiciously-shaped tower and replace all the stones, after which, Marpa declared, he would give him the Teaching.

In despair, Milarepa replaced the stones. By now he was suffering from sores on his shoulders, which he showed to the lame's wife, Dagmema, begging her to help him obtain the Teaching. Seeing the state Milarepa was in, Dagmema went to Marpa and asked him to have pity on Milarepa. The lama told his wife to bring Milarepa before him, which she did.

Now, at last, Marpa began to instruct Milarepa, but only by expounding on the Triple Refuge, a general Teaching. He did not yet divulge the secret Teaching. Instead, he talked at length about the trials that his own Master, Naropa, had undergone in order to gain liberation. He made it clear that for Milarepa also the way would be very difficult. Marpa's instruction renewed Milarepa's faith and readiness to carry out his Teacher's requests.

After several days Marpa took Milarepa on a walk to another plot of land, where he told Milarepa to construct a square white tower nine stories high. This, he said, would never be torn down. Marpa reiterated that when the tower was completed, Milarepa would receive the secret Teaching.

Milarepa suggested that it would be wise to have the lama's wife as a witness. Marpa agreed and began to draw on the ground his plans for the building: When these were complete, Milarepa invited Dagmema to witness the agreement that was about to take place.

Milarepa reminded them both that he had already built three towers, which the lama had caused him to destroy because he had been, at Marpa's own confession, tipsy or crazy or not quite sure of his plans. Now he was asking Milarepa to build another tower, with a promise to expound the secret Teaching when the work was done.

Dagmema said that she was happy to witness the agreement, but was uncertain of her value as a witness because the lama was not a reasonable man. Also, this plot of land belonged jointly to Marpa and his cousins, and a large tower would undoubtedly bring about a quarrel. Marpa repeated his promise and told Milarepa that he could either accept the demand or leave.

Because of his great desire for the Teaching, Milarepa began to lay the foundation for a square tower. While he was putting up a wall, three of Marpa's disciples brought a large rock and placed it as a cornerstone.

When Milarepa was ready to start the second story, Marpa came to inspect the work. He immediately noticed the large cornerstone rock and asked where it had come from.

When Milarepa explained that the disciples had brought it, Marpa exclaimed that it could not be used. Milarepa must return it to where they had gotten it. In order to do this Milarepa had to demolish the building once again.

Then, no sooner had he returned the rock than Marpa told him to retrieve it and use it, after all, as a cornerstone. Milarepa submitted to all this and labored on until the tower reached the seventh story, by which time he had a large sore on his back.

At about this time another disciple came to request an initiation from Marpa, and Dagmema, feeling this to be an appropriate time, encouraged Milarepa to ask again for the Teaching. And so once more he approached his Teacher, but Marpa threw him out of the house. Milarepa wept the whole night and Dagmema came to console him and to encourage him not to give up.

The next morning Marpa himself came to Milarepa and told him not to continue with the tower. He said that if Milarepa would only build a shrine room at the base of the tower surrounded by a covered walk with twelve columns he would give him the secret Teaching.

Milarepa began to build the covered walk, and Dagmema brought him food and drink to comfort him while he worked. When Milarepa was nearly finished another of Marpa's disciples came to request an initiation. Again, Dagmema encouraged Milarepa to ask for the Teaching, and she provided Milarepa with gifts to offer Marpa.

When Milarepa went before Marpa, the lama asked what gifts his disciple had brought. When Milarepa placed the gifts before his Teacher, Marpa rebuked him, saying the gifts were already his possessions.

Again, he threw Milarepa out, and again Milarepa despaired. Dagmema came to console him, but he spent the whole night weeping. When the lame came the next morning he told Milarepa to finish the covered walk and the tower, after which he would give Milarepa the Teaching

By this time, Milarepa had large sores on his back, from which pus and blood were oozing. He showed himself to the lama's wife and pleaded with her for aid.

When she saw the condition he was in, Dagmema went to Marpa and begged him to be merciful, explaining how terrible the wounds were and how diligently Milarepa had labored. "I have heard about sore-backed ponies and donkeys before this, and seen some, too; but never before he I heard of a sore-backed human being, much less seen one. What a disgrace it will be to thee if people come to hear of it!" (5)

Dagmema then brought Milarepa to her husband and showed Marpa the sores on Milarepa's back. Marpa examined the wounds carefully and declared that what Milarepa had undertaken thus far was nothing compared to the trials Naropa had undergone in order to gain the Teaching. He admonished Milarepa to be humble and to continue his work on the tower. Then he made a pad to protect the wounds so that dirt would not infect them. But secretly Marpa shed tears when he saw how diligently Milarepa carried out his every order.

When the sores became inflamed and Milarepa was unable to go on working, he rested and was served by Dagmema with food and drink. Marpa however, soon declared it was time for Milarepa to return to work.

Dagmema continued to conspire with Milarepa to obtain the Teachings for him, even going so far as to enact a little play in which she pretended to restrain Milarepa from leaving. Marpa, however, was unrelenting in his demand that Milarepa finish his work, and Milarepa saw that he had no choice but to continue.

Some time later Milarepa was mixing mortar for the shrine room when another of Marpa's disciples came for an initiation. This time Dagmema gave Milarepa a beautiful turquoise that she had kept secretly for years. Milarepa took it and offered it to Marpa, who asked how Milarepa had come by it.

When he replied that Dagmema had given it to him Marpa sent for her immediately. Dagmema explained that her parents had given her the turquoise at the time of her marriage in case she should ever need it, and she pleaded with Marpa to give Milarepa the Teaching.

Marpa, however, tied the turquoise around his neck and declared that if it belonged to his wife, it also belonged to him. Without further ado, he threw Milarepa out of the house for bringing no fitting gift. Milarepa again despaired and wept through the night.

Next morning the lame sent for Milarepa and asked him if he was angered by Marpa's refusal to give the Teaching. Milarepa replied, "I have faith in the lama, and I have not uttered a single word of rebellion. On the contrary, I believe that I am in darkness on account of my sins. I am the author of my own misery." (6)

When the lama told him to get out, Milarepa was miserable. This time he decided to leave without saying a word to anyone, and he packed his books and started down the road. When Dagmema saw that he had gone, she went to Marpa and told him. The lama wept, prayed for Milarepa's return, and then sat motionless.

Milarepa, having remembered Dagmema's kindness, returned at that moment to thank her. She brought him before Marpa, who declared that if Milarepa would only complete the remaining three stories of the tower he would give Milarepa the Teaching. But Milarepa felt it was useless, and he prepared to leave again.

Dagmema, seeing his intentions, told him that she would find a way for Ngogpa, one of Marpa's disciples, to initiate Milarepa if he would stay a little longer and pretend to work. Milarepa was overjoyed at the possibility and stayed. Meanwhile, at the first opportunity Dagmema took two of the sacred treasures given to Marpa by Naropa and forged a letter from Marpa to Ngogpa, who lived a little distance away.

These Milarepa took to Ngogpa, saying he had been sent by Marpa to receive initiation and instruction. The lama, thinking it a direct order from Marpa gave Milarepa the initiation and told him to meditate in an abandoned cave on a nearby cliff. Milarepa walled himself in and began to meditate constantly. However, because Marpa had not assented to his initiation, Milarepa experienced no inner signs.

In the meantime, Marpa had nearly finished the tower for his son himself. He sent a message to Ngogpa, under whose instruction Milarepa was meditating, inviting him to come to the consecration of the tower. And he told Ngogpa to bring along a "certain evil-doer" who belonged to Marpa.

When Ngogpa showed Milarepa the letter, Milarepa admitted that Marpa had not sent him, and he asked for permission to go to the consecration with Ngogpa as his servant. When the day came, the lama gathered all his worldly goods, except for an old goat with a broken leg, and told Milarepa to proceed ahead of him.

Approaching Marpa's home, Milarepa met Dagmema and asked her to bring refreshments to welcome Ngogpa, who would arrive soon. She sent Milarepa to Marpa to make the request, but Marpa, who was sitting on his terrace, would not look at Milarepa. Prostrating, Milarepa made the request, explaining that Ngogpa was arriving with all his wealth.

Breaking into an apparent rage, Marpa shouted, "What! Who gave me a reception when I came plodding home with the load of the precious teachings on my way back from India? When I brought home the precious gems of the quintessence of all the four divisions of Buddhist Doctrine, did so much as a lame bird come out to greet me or receive me? And must I, a great translator, go and receive Ngogpa just because he is bringing me a few straggling cattle?"' (7) So saying he refused to greet the lama.

Milarepa left to report this interchange to Dagmema, who came with Milarepa to greet the guests. Meanwhile, a great many people had arrived to celebrate the occasion. After Marpa sang a chant, Ngogpa offered his gifts. As a test of the lama's devotion, Marpa instructed him to go back after the lame goat and bring her to him. The lama did this, and Marpa gave initiation and instruction to him.

Then Marpa asked for a full accounting of how Ngogpa had come to give Milarepa instruction. Marpa appeared to be so angry at hearing the story that Dagmema locked herself into a temple. In the depths of despair, Milarepa decided there was nothing to do but kill himself and hope to be reborn worthy of religion. Ngogpa however, restrained him, explaining that to take one's life is the greatest sin.

At last Marpa's rage abated and he sent for Dagmema and Milarepa, who came, still fearful, into his presence. Marpa received them calmly and began to explain at last what he had been up to all this time. He had been testing Milarepa to purify him of his sins, and, although it was understandable that Dagmema, moved by womanly compassion, had sought to comfort Milarepa, her forging of the letter was going too far. Now, however, if they would bring him the sacred objects, he would indeed initiate and instruct Milarepa.

Marpa explained the nature of his anger, saying, "Although my anger rose like flood water, it was not like worldly anger. However they may appear, my actions always come from religious considerations which, in essence, conform to the Path of Enlightenment. As for the rest of you who are not yet immersed in religion, do not let your faith be shaken." (8)

Marpa went on to explain that if Milarepa had only completed nine great trials, he would have been assured of freedom from rebirths. However, the ordeal he had undergone was sufficient to undo the karmas of his sins. "Now, I receive you and will give you my Teaching, which is as dear to me as my own heart. I will help you with provisions and let you meditate and be happy." (9)

Milarepa wondered if he was dreaming. Joy swept over him and he and the others prostrated themselves before Marpa, in whom their faith had been restored and made strong. Preparations were made for the ceremony, and the following day Milarepa was initiated. Afterward, Marpa placed his hands on Milarepa's head and told him that from the first moment of his approach he had known that Milarepa was destined to be his disciple and that he would prove fit to receive the Teaching.

He went on to speak of Milarepa's own future work:

"Each time that I cruelly drove you out from the ranks of the disciples & overwhelmed you with grief, you had no bad thoughts against me.

This signifies that your disciples will have first of all the zeal, perseverance, wisdom, & compassion necessary for every disciple.

Next, not desiring the wealth of this life, they will endure meditation in the mountains through their ascetic discipline and energy.
So finally, through inner experience, spiritual energy, wisdom, & compassion, they will all become perfect lamas.
The transmission of this teaching will be like the waxing moon—so rejoice!"

"Cease negative actions, Cultivate positive actions, & Tame your mind.”


A Loving Atma Namaste!

"Cease negative actions, Cultivate positive actions, & Tame your mind.”

- The Lord Buddha

During the renovating of The Teachings on Buddhism according to Master Choa Kok Sui for the Jaipur courses this past weekend, we compiled & included a number of stories Master had related to us & to various groups over our many years together.

When we were speaking about Milarepa - one student, Ani - shared a wonderful story about Milarepa & His Teacher Marpa.

This story stirred in us so many recollections about Master telling a similar version of the same story.

Thought you might also enjoy sharing this information about a Great Buddhist Saint!

Loving Blessings be to All!

- Extracted from "Milarepa's Initial Realizations"

I have understood this body of mine to be the product of ignorance, composed of flesh and blood & lit up by the perceptive power of consciousness.

To those fortunate ones who long for emancipation it may be the great vessel by which they may procure Freedom.

But to the unfortunates who only sin, it may be the guide to lower & miserable states of existence.

This our life is the boundary mark whence one may take an upward or downward path.

Our present time is a most precious time, wherein each of us must decide, in one way or other, for lasting
good or lasting ill.

One who aims only at his own individual peace & happiness adopts the lower path (Hinayana) ...

But he who devotes the merits of his love & compassion to the cause of others belongs to the higher path (Mahayana).

In meditating on the Final Goal, one has to discover the non-existence of the personal Ego, & therefore the fallacy that it exists (i.e. because everything in the universe with name & form is basically illusory in nature)

To realize the state of non-existence of the personal ego, the mind must be kept in quiescence.

In that state, thoughts, ideas, and cognition cease and the mind (Awareness) passes into a state of perfect
tranquility so that days, months, & years may pass without the person perceiving it; thus the passage of time has to be marked for him by others.

The visions of the forms of the Deities which appear in meditation are merely signs attending the perseverance in meditation.

They have no intrinsic worth or value in themselves.

All the efforts put forth during this path must be made in a spirit of compassion with the aim of dedicating the merit of one's efforts to the Universal Good.

There is a need of mentally praying & wishing for blessings on others so earnestly that one's mind processes also transcend thought.

Just as the mere name of food does not satisfy the appetite of a hungry person but he must eat food, so also a man who would learn about the Voidness (i.e. Universal Awareness) must meditate so as to realize it, not just learn of its definition."

Celebration of Guru Purnima



A Loving Atma Namaste!

Monday 26 July at 1:37AM is Full Moon Day,

But today & tomorrow it is also the important Celebration of Guru Purnima.

What is Guru Purnima or Guru Poornima?

These are days of Intense Devotional Spiritual Sadhana. - with our full attention directed to our Beloved Spiritual Teacher - our Guruji, Master Choa Kok Sui.

Significance of Guru Purnima
"The full moon day in the Hindu month of Ashad (July-August) is observed as the auspicious day of Guru Purnima, a day sacred to the memory of the Great Sage Vyasa - who may be looked upon as the supreme preceptor of mankind. He even taught Lord Dattatreya, who is regarded as the Guru of Gurus Sage Vyasa, was born the son of a fisherwoman.

He classified the accumulated spiritual knowledge of the Vedas under four main Works - Rig, Yajur, Saama & Atharva. To him goes the credit of composing the authentic treatise of Brahma-sootras (sometimes called the "fifth Veda) which explains the background of Vedas.

He also wrote the eighteen Puranas, the stories of great heroes & saints.

And he "steped down" lofty spiritual & moral precepts to the level of common understanding.

One of the greatest of epics of all times - The Mahaabhaarata is also a priceless gift from Vyasa. It embodies the immortal Song of God, the Bhagavad Geeta, the devotional story of Sri Krishna.

"The Guru" or Spiritual Teacher in the Hindu tradition is looked upon as an embodiment of God himself.

This is because it is through his Grace & Guidance that one reaches the highest state of Wisdom & Bliss.

In the tradition of Master Choa Kok Sui, the Guru is known as the "Wish-Fulfiller"...

This is a good time to begin with renewed vigor our Spiritual Lessons & Practices. In the past, wandering spiritual masters & their disciples used to settle down at a place to study & discourse on the Brahma Sutras composed by Vyasa, & engaged in weighty Vedantic discussions.

The Role of the Spiritual Teacher, the significance of Guru is revered on this day by remembering their life and teachings.

The relationship between the Guru & the Chela or Disciple is considered very sacred.

This relationship is purely spiritual in nature & is independent of the physical age of the two.

It is based on maturity of Gyan (Spiritual Knowledge) & Shrada (Spiritual Practice). The only awareness that a Disciple should foster is:

‘I should be uplifted spiritually’. Simultaneously, the Guru harbours only one thought: ‘May this Disciple be uplifted’

In India it is sometimes said, "Do you realize now the sacred significance & the supreme importance of the Guru's role in the evolution of man?

Guru Poorinma commemorates this ancient concept of the Guru, adores it & pays homage to it again & again, thereby reaffirming firm belief in & allegiance to the Guruji.

This is done through various Spiritual Practices, including the recitation of the Guru Gita:

Guru Gita

Salutations, Adorations, Prostrations to Guru,
Guru is Brahma, Guru is Siva, Guru is Vishnu,
Guru is Father, Guru is Mother, Guru is real Friend.
Serve him with all Bhava, wet with Bhakti,
He will teach you Brahma Vidya, show the Divine Path.
Service of the Guru is a great purifier."

- Swami Sivananda

Let us Meditate upon our Beloved Guruji, Master Choa Kok Sui & Do Service in His Name on this Guru Purnima! To "Do Service" during this period fetches substantial grace of the Guru for spiritual progress.

Let us "Light the Lamps of Guru-Tattva" Now & "Spread the Teachings"!

"My salutations to the Guru who is Brahma, Vishnu & Maheswara (Lord Shiva). The Guru is Parabrahma incarnate"

Om Namo Atma Master Choa Kok Sui Om!

Together with you at His Lotus Feet!

Loving Blessings be with All

"Principle of Evolutionary Creation"


A Loving Atma Namaste!

Creation is not a one-time process.

The process of Creation is continuous, directed & evolutionary...

The proper term that should be used is 'Evolutionary Creation'.

Why not just take a break & relax a bit?


A Loving Atma Namaste!

Sometimes students ask what inspires this soul to work so hard constantly creating projects, teaching & constantly Doing Service in His Name ...

Why not just take a break & relax a bit?

Tonight as we were listening to one of His favorite songs ... Somewhere in Time ... it came to us that the Internal Strength that guides, nurtures, protects & stimulates us to "Follow (only) His Simple Instructions" in spite of all of the mountains of obstacles placed before us by those who would prefer for us to fade away into silence ...

Is the astounding degree of His all encompassing, pervasive personal Love ... expressed to these ears ... over & over again ... so many countless times.

Very simply it filled & continues to fill us up in each hour with each Breath of this life ...

It is this Energy ... of His ...

It is the incalculable number of His Great, Great Blessings ...

Which never fail to ignite & which now daily reignite such a deep & all encompassing Love ...

The Passion of & for the Teacher ... has become a Passion for the Teachings. Truly the Teacher & the Teachings are One!

Loving Blessings be with All!

We are Together with you at His Lotus Feet!

"What can we do" about the massive Gulf Oil Spill?"


A Loving Atma Namaste!

Due to our heavy schedule this body has seen few news broadcasts or newspapers ...We had heard about the Gulf Coast Disaster, but did not know very much about it.

This past weekend .. while "way down under" ... in Australia ... ...students asked, "What can we do" about the massive Gulf Oil Spill?"

It appears that both oil & Gas are being released - from all the way down to the core of the Earth.

According to what we have been told, this critical situation could cause a possible explosive rupture to occur in the sea floor.

This morning during Meditation the following thoughts come to our mind:

According to the Teachings & Technology of our Beloved Master Choa Kok Sui ... by using Subtle Energy... A PLACE or PHYSICAL LOCATION ... just like the (human) body "may be healed" ...

We suggest that Pranic Healers - globally - begin to use our Advanced Energy Technology in a very practical way. For those individuals who are practicing Healing, why not use Pranic Healing to "HEAL" the spill ...

Why not?

Is it too big? If we don't try ... we will not exercise our Spiritual Muscles & we will not grow!

Remember, almost Nothing is impossible for us!

When we have "faith" the size of a "Grain of Mustard Seed" ... we can "move" Mountains of obstacles - even bigger than the Himalayan Mountains!

Let us try collectively to "Practice Diligently" ... for the Benefit of our Beloved Mother Earth!

Lets take on the Oil Spill as a PROJECT for the benefit of Beloved Mother Earth.

We know that when regular Spiritual Practice or Sadhana is done, the Crown Energy Center of a practitioner becomes highly activated. According to Master Choa a highly developed Crown Energy Center is needed to "Produce Rapid" & even "Miraculous Healings" in many instances.

When Healers & Meditators are Practicing 24/7 ... it means that we become capable of taking on even very big projects - like this one!

Already countless individuals including healers & people from many traditions are working on this location.

Why not work diligently together - to "heal" the area of gushing oil & gas?

Let us use Energy & work together to help to SEAL the hole energetically.

Let us begin Practicing The Planetary Meditation for Peace ... (also know as The Meditation on Twin Hearts) & consciously use that Energy ... to Bless the disastrous Gulf Oil Spill with rapid healing ... with containment.

Let us Bless & Bless & Bless this massive problem ...

Let us Project constant Healing & Blessings to the gaping rupture that is allowing the oil & gas to spill ...

Let us join thousands of other people globally ...

who are praying to contain this environmental disaster ...

Clearly control or at least partial containment is needed in order to minimize the disastrous effects on Mother Earth ...

We know that when gathered together in great numbers ... the Power of Energy Work is magnified.

Let us Invoke, Pray & ASK for Divine Guidance, Help & Protection to do this job!

Please Invoke, Pray & Ask to be guided to use the Energetic Tools we have been so gifted to receive ... in order to facilitate the objective of containing this serious condition that reaches to the very core of our Beloved Planet Earth ...

Let us send Powerful Streams of Loving Energy into the area of the Spill ...

Let us Invoke, Pray & Ask for Divine Intervention to come in the form of containment the gushing oil & gas.

Let us work together as a group ... as a group channel ...to Spread the Loving Energy & Blessings of this Meditation throughout Mother Earth ...

Directing the Energy particularly to the Gulf Area where this event is taking place.

Let EACH meditator to the greatest extend of their effort ...

Align themselves with Master Choa Kok Sui,
with Mahaguruji Mei Ling ...
with All of the Great Great
Ones, Holy Gurus, Holy Masters, Angels, Archangels & Spiritual Helpers,
with the Spiritual Elders of Planet Earth ...
with the Planetary Logo ...
& with The Supreme Being ...

to Bless Mother Earth & all of humanity with Divine Power to resolve this critical issue.

Let us collectively Invoke, Pray & Ask for the Supreme Being & the Great Great Ones ... to bring about a positive & rapid solution to this serious problem...

And ... Let us collectively send the Energy of Loving Blessings to our Divine Beloved Mother Earth!

Let us ask for Mother Earth be Healed Physically ... Emotionally ... Mentally & Etherically ... Let us Pray for Mother Earth be Purified!

Let us ask for the Subtle Bodies of Mother Earth be Healed, Balanced & Purified!

Let us ask for our Beloved Mother Earth be Fully & Completely Healed on ALL LEVELS ...

Let us Invoke for Mother Earth be Soothed of her Pain Sorrow & Suffering!

Let Invoke, Pray & Ask for Mother Earth be Healed!

Let us Invoke, Pray & Ask for Mother Earth be Divinely Blessed!

Please send YOUR Blessings be to our Divine Beloved Mother Earth ... NOW! NOW! NOW! So Be It!

Please join this Project ... this group effort directed toward Healing of our Divine Beloved Mother Earth!

May Loving Blessings be with All!

KOLKATA

Kolkata served as the capital of India during the British Raj until 1911.

Since the year 2000, an economic rejuvenation has led to a spurt in the city's growth.

Kolkata has long been known for its literary, artistic and revolutionary heritage.

As the former capital of India, Kolkata was the birthplace of modern Indian literary and artistic thought.

Kolkata Residents tend to have a special appreciation for art and literature; its tradition of welcoming new talent has made it a "city of furious creative energy".

All Kolkatans have an artist's ardor tucked away somewhere in the corners of their hearts.

Small wonder, then, that the City of Joy is sprinkled with countless havens for art aficionados.

Kolkata has also played an important position in the expansion of modern Indian art.

Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) is the capital of West Bengal and the second largest city in India (after Mumbai).

If Bengaluru is the Seattle of India, then Kolkata is the sub-continent's New York.

Kolkata is indeed a happening city and when it comes to entertainment in Kolkata, the city of joy has a lot of choices to offer.

Kolkata Residents are very talented people and have an artistic flair.

Kolkata is in fact very famous for its cultural activities then be it theatre, music, dance, art or poetry.

AIRPORT

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (IATA: CCU) connects Kolkata with the world.

WEATHER

Kolkata, the city located in the eastern part of India has a sub-tropical climate. It is situated on the Gangetic delta and is very close to the Bay of Bengal. As such the Kolkata weather is heavily influenced by the sea. Kolkata experiences three major seasons of summer, monsoon and winter.

The summers are quite hot in Kolkata, the temperature reaching the maximum of 41°C in the month of May. From March to June it is summer in Kolkata. The southwesterly monsoon winds flow during summer in Kolkata. Humidity is high during summer. Sometimes a bit of shower takes places in summer accompanied by dusty violent winds, which are called 'Kal Baishakhi' by the local people.

Metta Meditation - The Meditation on Loving Kindness




Our Beloved Guru Dev Master Choa Kok Sui

In Buddhism The Meditation on Loving Kindness is called Metta Meditation.

Metta is achieving the State of Mind & Being that emanates unconditional 'Loving Kindness’ to every person & every Sentient Being.*

Metta is the first stage to achieving Compassion

(i.e. purposeful acts of Altruism, of "purposeful acts" of reaching out to others in selfless concern or caring for their Well Being)

When a practitioner can genuinely achieve & maintain these qualities as a mode of operation in their lives … coupled with Wisdom (or intellectual & intuitive understanding) ...

It brings the great gift of Inner Peace & Tranquility …

This is a stable state of Loving-Kindness coupled together with Compassion.

Metta is 'passive’ & while Compassion – As a more advanced state - is more ‘Active’ …

In a recent article we read:

"THE PRACTICE OF METTA BHAVANA OPENS UP THE CHAKRAS & THE ENTIRE BEING -- TO FULLY COMPREHEND & To BE ONE WITH THE OBJECT - OF THE METTA BAHAVANA.

IN THE INITIAL PHASES WE EXTEND LOVING ENERGY FROM THE HEART CHAKRA TO ALL BEINGS – WHOM WE LOVE.

GRADUALLY WE EXTEND LOVING ENERGY TO OTHERS WHOM WE DO NOT KNOW … FROM THE CROWN CHAKRA

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO SUFFUSE THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WITH THE ENERGY OF LOVE FOR ALL ...

UNTIL LOVE REACHES THE STATE OF BEING ALL THINGS.

METTA BHAVANA IS BEAUTY,
IT IS WISDOM,
IT IS TRUTH,
IT IS COMPASSION.

SOME SAY THAT METTA IS PASSIVE & COMPASSION ACTIVE.

BUT OTHERS SAY THIS VIEW BRINGS US SLIDING BACK INTO A REALM OF DUALITY.

THIS STEMS FROM THE WESTERN MIND’S TENDENCY TO COMPARTMENTALIZE THINGS & STATES OF BEING & CONSCIOUSNESS -- WHICH DEFY LABELS.

THUS METTA FLOWS & WITH IT FLOW COMPASSION, BEAUTY, TRUTH, WISDOM.

IN THIS RIVER OF COMPASSION ONE DIFFERENTIATES & CANNOT DISCERN WHICH FLOWS FASTER – BECAUSE ALL FLOWS & SO DO WE …"

According to Master Choa Kok Sui,
The meditator concentrates on the Crown & Heart Energy Centers while the hands are raised outward with the intention of radiating the Compassionate Healing Energy of Buddha Avalokiteshvara through simultaneously chanting the Mantra Om Mani Padme Hum …

When a person Practices the Meditation on Loving-Kindness, Divine Energy flows down, filling him with Divine Light, Love & Power ...

And the person becomes a channel for the Divine Energy.

During the Meditation on Loving Kindness ...

Both the Mantra Om & the Mantra Om Mani Padme Hum are chanted.

A person with a sufficiently activated Crown Chakra must know how use it in order to Achieve ILLUMINATION.

Concentration should not only be on the mantra OM

– but especially on the INTERVAL between the two OM’s…

It is by concentrating on the Light & on the MOMENT OF STILLNESS BETWEEN the two OM’s that Illumination may be achieved…

When the mind & the emotions are still it is possible to achieve “Illumination” or Divine Bliss & to experience one’s Buddha Nature.

May Joyful Sadhana be yours!

Loving Blessings be to All!



*Who are the Sentient Beings?

Any creatures which are able to “see” & “perceive” things…

Living Beings of “Awareness” or “Consciousness”… “Above or Below”

Loving Blessings be with All!
