1-Swami #Sivananda used to say this about #Mantra and #Japa #Sadhana

“Do not bother yourself about #Matra, #Para and #Pashyanti, etc.

Do #Japa of your #Ishta #Mantra mentally with its meaning and right #Bhava.

You will realize the spiritual benefits. (1/13)

2-Why do you waste your time counting the pebbles on the bank?

Take a dip immediately in the Ganges and enjoy the bath” (2/13)

#संस्कृतिबोध Image
3-All Mantras have equal potency or power.

It is not quite accurate to say that

... Om Namo Narayanaya is superior

...to Om Namah Shivaya or Radhesyam or Sri Ram, and so on. (3/13)

#सनातनशुद्धरूपसेविज्ञान Image
4-You can attain God-realization by doing Japa of any Mantra.

Valmiki attained God-consciousness by repeating even Mara-Mara!

Some people think that Om or #Soham is superior to Om Narno Narayanaya, or vice versa. This also is not quite accurate. (4/13)

#MysticPrayers Image
5-The state gained by doing Japa of Om or Soham can be attained by doing Japa of Sri Ram or Radhesyam also

You must have the Bhava that Atman, Isvara, Devata, Mantra are one. (5/13)

#DialogueswithGod Image
6-With this Bhava you will have to repeat your Guru Mantra or Ishta Mantra.

Then alone you will have Mantra Siddhi or God realization quickly (6/13)

#भगवदसंवाद Image
7-The Japa of a Mantra can bring to the practitioner

..realization of his highest goal

.. though he may not possess knowledge of the meaning of the Mantra. (7/13)

#Consciousness Image
8-Such a mechanical Japa may take a little more time in realization

..than when it is practiced with a knowledge of the meaning.

There is an indescribable power or #Achintya #Shakti in the Mantras. (8/13)

#चेतना Image
9-वंशीविभूषितकरानवनीरदाभात्

पीताम्बरादरुणबिम्बफलाधरोष्ठात् ।

पूर्णेन्दुसुन्दरमुखादरविन्दनेत्रात्

कृष्णात्परं किमपि तत्त्वमहं न जाने॥ (9/13)

10-I know not any other reality than the lotus-eyed #Krishna,

...with hands adorned with the flute,

..looking like a newly laden cloud in lustre, (10/13)

#KnowTheGreatestReligion. Image
11-..wearing a yellow silk garment,

..with his lips like a ruddy Bimba-fruit,

..and with his face beautiful like the full-moon. (11/13)

#मंत्रशक्ति Image
12-With the Grace of #Ganesha and #Gayatri I am now taking up personal consultations

Those seeking a personal consultation - please send a Direct Message.

Money thus generated, shall be given to charity. (12/13)

#Astrology. Image
13-Preference will be given to those, with acute issues.

May #Goddess #Saraswati guide this little effort of mine with her own hands.!

Om Tat Sat!

Shubham Bhavatu! (13/13)

1-What is the #Philosophy of #Japa and why is it important for #Sadhana?

What Is Japa?

Japa is the repetition of any Mantra or Name of the Lord. (1/15)

#AstrologicalRemedies. Image
2-In this Kali Yuga or iron age when the physique of the vast majority of persons is not good,

..rigid Hatha Yogic practices are very difficult.

Japa is an easy way to God-realization. (2/15)

#AstrologyRemedies. Image
3-Tukaram, Dhruva, Prahlada, Valmiki Rishi, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa -

..all had attained salvation by uttering the Name of God. (3/15)

1-One of the most important houses in the #BirthChart is the 5th House

In #WesternAstrology, the 5th House is the House of the #InnerChild – signifying #Creativity, #Play and #Leisure.

#Astrology. Image

1-To define God is to deny #God.

You can give the definition to a finite object.

How can you define limitless or the #Infinite Being

..who is the source and ultimate cause for everything? (1/15)

#संस्कृतिबोध Image
2-If you define God you are limiting the limitless one, you are confining Him with concepts of mind.

God is beyond the reach of the gross mind,

..but He can be #realized through #Japa and #meditation

..with a pure, subtle and one-pointed mind. (2/15) Image
3-#Manasika #Puja (mental worship) is more powerful than external Puja with flowers, etc.

Arjuna thought that Bhima was not doing any kind of worship.

He was proud of his external worship of Lord #Shiva.

He offered plenty of Bilva leaves. (3/15)

1-A constant question I receive from people is

..what is the significance of empty houses in a #BirthChart?!

Does an empty house in your chart mean, that no action will happen there?

And are these meaningless?! (1/8)

#Astrology. Image
2-Or does it mean that every house should have one planet?!

This is how #Astrologers look at it

Most charts have a handful of empty houses.

No chart has all the houses filled up with #Grahas. (2/8)

#AlgorithmsOfJyotish Image
3-Clearly, those houses that have the most number of planets in your chart

..tell you that these house significations,

..or #Bhavas will play an important role in your life (3/8)

1-How does #HouseInterpretation happen in #Astrology?

Practitioners opine about two schools of thought.

From the #vantage of the house as well as that of the #planet or #Graha. (1/10)

#Astrology. Image
2-When a #Graha occupies a particular #House

..D area signified by that house is experienced through the ‘Flavour’ #Personality and #attributes of that very Graha.

Let’s say someone has his or her #Mercury in the #Ascendant or the first house (2/10)

#AstrologicalThread. Image
3-This means that for that person to find his or her very bearing or consciousness

...in the world and to be confident about himself,

...or coming ‘into his own’ –

..he or she needs to work on his #communication – an area clearly governed by Mercury. (3/10) Image
