Impossible becomes possible

10/19/09


Disciple: Guro, in Bhagavadd Gita, Lord Krishna says:
 
 
Bahoonaam janmanaam anthe                  
Jnaanavaan maam prapadyathe             
Vasudeva:  sarvam ithi                               
sa mahathma sudurlabha:    

ബഹൂനാം   ജന്മനാം  അന്തേ 
ജ്ഞാനവാന്‍  മാം  പ്രപദ്യതേ 
വാസുദേവ:   സര്‍വം  ഇതി
സ  മഹാത്മാ  സുദുര്‍ല്ലഭ:
                    
                     
"After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare. " (Prabhupaada's translation)
 
Guro, I have no knowledge of anything and how do I know how many more janmaas I will need or will I ever reach Him? Do I still have to go through endless janmaas to be blessed with an attitude of complete surrender?
 
Guru : 

"Dear disciple, Please do not be worried about thinking Bhagavaan's two words, "after many janmaas". Please believe that this is  your "saadhya janma" or the life given to you for realizing Him. Believe that this is the last janma and it is absolutely possible to become a realized soul in this janma itself. In fact, believe that you have lived thousands of "saadhana janmaas"where you did "saadhanaas" or penances and good karmaas or practised spirituality to be blessed to have this intense desire to know Him.
 
So you have no time to waste, put all your effort to reach Him. He is very near you stretching His hands to save you from this endless cycle of births and deaths. Be brave and walk with sajjanaas because this certainly is your "saadhya janma" to achieve your goal. Make the
seemingly impossible task, possible by believing in Him."
 
Disciple washed the feet of his guru with tears of joy and walked towards his final goal!

Shathaabishekam

6/21/08 When is Shathaabhishekam celebrated? When it should be celebrated? We have heard about different versions of when it should be celebrated, when you complete 84 years, or when you complete 81 years and 10 months or when you complete 83 years 4 months. Shathaabhishekam is celebrated when a person sees 1000 full moons lives through 1000 full moons in his life. Since it is a mathematical calculation, there should only be one answer. Then how are we having all these three answers? (It really does not matter when you celebrate, but out of curiosity to know the reason behind the celebration, I did some research and I thought some people may share my curiosity. Of all the explanations I read I liked the one given below.)   Here is a convincing explanation based mainly on a question -answer series in Bhakthapriya magazine published by Guruvayur devaswom. For clarity, I am trying to express it as mathematically as possible.   Number of full moons in one year = 12   So n

16 names of Lord Vishnu

16 names of Lord Vishnu 4/26/08 These are 16 names of Vishnu to be remembered at different occasions. It is said that sabda (sabda), sparsha (touch), roopa (form), rasa (taste), gandha (smell) and the positive energy or vibration coexist with words. Repeated chanting of each word with bhava creates different results in our body since effort to utter each word uses different muscles and brings different effect in the saadhaka. Chanting can be done like in the naamaavali: Om Vishnave Nama:, Om Janaaardanaaya nama:, Om padmanaabhaaya nama: etc. We will try to analyze the meaning of each name. May be Vishunsahasranama interpretaions will help us. . When taking medicine think of Vishnu Before eating think of Janaardana Before going to bed think of Padmanaabha During marriage think of Prajaapathi During fight or controversial situations think Chakradhara When you are away from home or NRIs like lot of us think of Thrivikrama At the time of death try to think of Naarayana When you are wi
