Ksheerabdhi mathhanam -A spiritual comparison -1



Ksheerabdhi mathhanam -A spiritual comparison -1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Ksheerabdhi mathhanam can be compared to the churning of our own manOsaagaram, in which the eternal divinity is uniformly distributed just like how butter is present in every drop of milk. 

Let us begin.

1. Kaheeraabdhi mathhanam or churning of the milky ocean - Spiritual efforts to win over our mind or to churn our mind and attain liberation. 

It can be compared to the spiritual churning (by observing austerities, vrathaas and saadhaanaas and leading a dhaarmic life) to experience the cream of  Eternal Bliss or to experience the Absolute Truth. 

2. White color of the milk - Mind filled with Saathvic qualities and a mind filled with Shubha sankalapam or optimiism.(white represents Satva Gunam.)

Minds of  all of us are originally full of goodness, Because of the accumulated tendencies of several previous lives, it gets contaminated with less pure RajOgunam and impure ThamOgunam. But the cream of immortality is spread all over the mind.

Mathhanaanantharam Maadhava darshanam. After the successful spiritual churning of the mind, we get to see LOrd Maadhava or we become a self-realized soul ever experiencing the Eternal Bliss!!

3. DEvAs and AsurAs - Positive and Negative tendencies arising in our mind. 

Mind or the whole Universe gets going on the "principle of opposites". Even the creation happens as the equilibrium of the three GunAs are tilted by Bhagavaan"s MAya. So to churn the mind we need the help of both negative and positive tendencies and has to continue until the negative forces fade out leaving the mind strong with the positive forces. In the end positive forces also are wiped out by  the eternal bliss!. The principle of "A thorn to remove a thorn and discarding of  both thorns" or KantakEnaiva kantakam. is used here. 

DEvAs represent our higher self with virtues like  Dharmam, sathyam, kindness etc where as AsurAs are our lower self  with forces like KAma- krodha-mOha-lObha-mada-maathsaryam.

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
