Resurgence and regeneration in Katargama; Pilgrimage to Sri Lanka-III

from Spirit in Life Discourses · host spiritinlife

Today is a very special day for us. 20th May is the eighth anniversary of Spiritinlife weblog. This is a delicate post, it is extremely detailed and extended too. It is regarding the immense thought and mind powers the ancient Indian sages possessed and how we can also acquire them to a great degree by syncing our mind with their will or intent by developing our intuition power through silencing and calming our minds by meditating regularly. Your immense patience, sufficient time and one pointed attention is a compulsory requirement for getting to the core of this exclusive post. One humble request to you-kindly send no responses on email or short messages on phone regarding this post and other upcoming ones on the blog henceforth. All the comments, questions & answers and inquiries should be made on the blog post itself. They should be discussed and explained in abundant length many times until you are assured of the content's thorough incorporation. Thanks. Preface This landmark blog-post has at last arrived. It was very much awaited and has taken immense perseverance, time and energy and has filled me up with both- great upsurges and gentle gushes of joy, thrill and many surprises as it was taking too long to be approved and validated by revered Shri Bogarnatharji and other celestial sages, our revered Masters. I have worked on this exceptional post untiringly for several days and was pondering where it will go or turn after all. Initially, there were just 3 parts in it-A, B and C. However, on 13th May I was absolutely still in my demeanour and was reading the page of ‘In search of Ultimate Peace-III’ very intently after which deep calmness and quietness of the afternoon pushed me into extremely fascinating conversation with Shri Bogarnatharji. I could comprehend what he spoke to me on that today is without any doubt an extension of our exchange of words which took place two years back and are documented in the same post. It was his wish that I make a fourth division of this marathon post and place on record our conversation of 13.05.16 afternoon even if the number of words exceed 12,000 plus! Hence this post has 4 parts-A,B,C and D now; the last section has my chronicled excessively useful, direct telepathic conversation between him and me. Therefore, it is mandatory for all of you to read the above said post. Part A as you can see is the preface without which your traversing on this long track would be confusing and self-defeating. A start up and preface will take you gently in the flow and depth of this exclusive post. This blog post is altered and unlike others. Today is the first time I am adding audios on the blog. They come in Part B. Prior to that, I had put up a few videos made out from the blogpost’s paragraphs. A change in the pattern of presentation was essentially waiting to take place any time since there are so many posts and so much has to be read by the readers. I am sure this new addition with audios in the post, which is last in series about the pilgrimage undertaken to Sri Lanka by us of late, will help you to enhance your absorption and understanding abilities of its grave content and wideness of subject. Many of previous posts are linked and if connected well with each other by you, it will definitely give you the most wonderful results. This post was not premeditated; adding audios on the blog was very spontaneous. Audio recording was done on a trial basis. For the first time I allowed my lectures to be recorded for a few people on this pilgrimage. However, as I began to speak there, the amplified dynamic spiritual vibrations prevailing in the place influenced me and I felt a powerful current overpowering my perennial self-restrain. The up welling of our gentle synergy goaded me to share my indwelling, dormant spiritual knowledge full of powerful eternal principles, codes and philosophies with the audience. The restrain seemed too frail to win then. Instant surrender was the call of the hour and I took it as my devotion and small offering to the Divine. There have been very few posts in recent times; this post will make up for the vacuum. Out of the 4 parts, Part C is the background and my commentary which will help you to navigate easily and connect to the elaborate explanation which this post requires. This post was created to listen to the audios but without my commentary and references and lengthy explanations, the objective would not have been met. Here I would like to recall what Swami Kartikeyan had told me some time back in my late night meditation. In Divine Moments with Swami Kartikeyan - III “My graceful and supple times with none other than His Holiness Shri Swami Kartikeyan Swami on this fateful day was a true blessing. My lifelong urge and keen interest in understanding the covert, underlying unlimited powers of our dynamic and untapped thoughts were brought to the fore and expounded in great depth with perfect acumen by revered Swamiji. My unflagging craving to learn more from these celestial Masters was partially satiated and appeased in my meditation on 18.02.15 morning and thereafter in the approaching days too, when he was overly gracious to teach me these following mysterious, unapproachable and unknown facts and principles of thought power. And it was on this promising day that for the first time he disclosed to me so kindly something personal about himself; it was about his undisclosed personality and special qualities that he is still retaining till this day. He revealed to me what his area of specialty was. He had perfected all the hidden and unknown power of thoughts with the kind grace of omnipresent God! He has infinitely powerful thoughts in his individual presence and he calls this quality-Sankalpa Shakti, the power of materializing one’s thoughts.” Swami Kartikeyan and Swami Shivanandji who are constantly in alignment in mentoring and tutoring me day and night are quite similar in some ways as per my constant mental association and my own obervation of them. They both have mastered the subject of mind control. Therefore, it does not come as any surprise that as we were going towards Katargama in the bus, the same subject cropped up naturally. When the gentle divine energies of the place overpowered me in the bus to make me let go of my perennial restrain, I quickly gave in since I knew that Swami Kartikeyan and Swami Shivanandji are in unison and they want me to explain in detail about the nature of our mind-the makeup and structure of our mind, its modus operandi and characteristics which were well researched long time back and the holy ancient scriptures backed me up. Commentary During the Bangalore Workshop that I held in December of 2015, I had reiterated several times to the participants mainly to Paripurna, a few very pertinent points to follow. It was–Do not allow your mind to scatter; be in control of it. Keep your mind always in tune with the Universal Mind of the Guru. If it scatters, bring it back to its center and take it inwards. I remembered about this given specified advice. In Sri Lanka, I ensured to reinforce it several times until the learners thoroughly understood the fact that the mind really wanders. On 10th March 2016, we were on our journey between Colombo and Katargama in a bus. I explained a few paragraphs on mind and thought power from a book "Lord Shanmukha and His worship" by Swami Shivanandji brought by one of us. We also had a few posts on thought power on Facebook in the month of Dec 2015; it was titled ‘Rishikesh trip’, dated 15th Dec’15. I elaborated on that further during the journey. I had expressed and commented that- Our mind is a vibration in the Cosmos. The mind is made of Consciousness of Spirit, it is a part of God. The mind is fluid, which means it does not stay and station in one place. Like wind, it moves from one place to another. Mind is nothing in itself. It demands and needs a substratum, a support on which it can rest and thrive on. The support or feed it takes from are our thoughts of sansara or world. Atma is thoughtless. The sansara or the world is reflected in us because of our own ego and desires. The mind has the power to delude us. Delusion is caused by ego and desires which perceive the transitory world in different manners. Senses delude us, desires delude us and our ego deludes us. To my satisfaction, Paripurna remembered everything what I had explained to him in Bangalore and like a good disciple, he asked me the next obvious question in Katargama temple on 10th March-“Ma, how to always stay merged with the mind of the Guru?” I nodded and gestured to kindly wait since such delicate and complicated topics of discussion cannot be discovered and explained in a dash and haste by anyone. I therefore, availed the next most appropriate opportunity, the morning of 11th March and continued from that point. My lecture on that question is recorded in the audio with the title 'Morning talks on the hotel room patio'.
