Giver and the Guard of Life

Naran

“PURUSHOTTAMA, BOOTHA BHAVANA, BHUTHESA DEVA DEVA JAGATHPATHE” – Arjuna praises Sri Krishna in these words.

It means, “O Purushottama! You are the one who gives life, and also the one who safe-guards life”.

The Mahabharata war is drawing to a close. Ahwattama has vowed to destroy the Pandava lineage. Uttara was bearing Abhimanyu’s child then.

As Ahwattama directs his Brahmaastra against her, Arjuna in return sends his Astra against Ahwattama.

Sage Vyasa intercedes and orders both of them to withdraw their Astras.

Arjuna obeys, but Ahwattama doesn’t, as he does not possess the knowledge of recalling the Brahmaastra. 

As the time for the delivery of the child approaches, Sri Krishna stays with Uttara and puts a protective shield around her.

But, the Brahmaastra once activated will not deactivate without taking a life. So, despite all of the Lord’s efforts Uttara delivers a still-born child.

At that time, Sri Krishna sends a message to the Universe: “If I have never spoken an untrue word, if I have remained a Brahmachari (the One who abstains from sexual intercourse) all my life, then let the child become alive”.

And Uttara’s child was given life. He made true Arjuna’s description of Him as “Bootha Bhavana, Bhuthesa” – the giver and guard of life.

This mantra, PURUSHOTTAMA, BOOTHA BHAVANA, BHUTHESA NAMO NAMAHA can be chanted by pregnant women throughout their pregnancy period to avoid still-born and/or breech delivery, and for a well-developed foetus. 

Easy Way to Reach Divine

GA

During last week, I had been diagnosed with ectopic/tubal pregnancy.

Foetus was healthy and well growing, but growing at wrong place. So, as per doctor’s advice, I had to terminate that pregnancy.

I remained sad for one two days and not only me but whole family was sad.

I know everything is happening for the best and according to all merciful supreme lords’ will. I myself have seen so many worst looking events turning into beneficial ones afterwards.

But, during the moments of emotional trauma all this theoretical and practical knowledge disappears from mind.

Is there any method or technique other than meditation to train our minds to happily and calmly accept all such events, which are beyond our control and purely according to divine will?

And how should we perceive such incidents to feel less or no grief?

Naran

Feeling less grief is not to be imposed.

Go through the emotions, which naturally surface and bow to them and come out.

When there is great distress over grief or when there is reason for grieving, weep, weep.

Weeping is easy way of reaching the divine.

Let us not feel shy for weeping. Yes, there was expectation in vain. Feel sad and weep to get over that. Weeping intensely will ultimately relieve you from the burden.

A solace is given by weeping. When you think that you can no more weep, just say, “I bow to this weeping and go beyond this state.”

Repeat within after the weeping episode, the Radha’s prayer:

“Krishna, my lord, whether thou chooses for me life or death, happiness or sorrow , pleasure or suffering, all that comes to me from thee, is always welcome”.

Rule the Chakras to Rule Your Life

Naran

The lower three chakras rule us

We have seven chakras. However, we are acting from the first three chakras, namely BASIC/ROOT CHAKRA, SWADHISTANA CHAKRA and SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA.

“I am seeking myself to maintain myself, seeking pleasure, seeking to possess, stick to confirmed events” would be our ruling behavior as long we live out of these three chakras.

However we should live out of Anahata chakra

Then what I need will never end.

Why my needs are never ending? Because what I get never satisfies me.

ANAHATA CHAKRA (Heart Chakra) is the one that changes these chakras. Only through Anahata chakra we learn to give.

Who will win eventually – all the three lower chakras or one Anahata chakra?

Sadly, success of Anahata chakra is short-lived

Obviously the three chakras will win. But even if Anahata wins how it comes down again? Let us see.

Giving and sharing are the qualities of Anahata. But now and then Solar Plexus calls Anahata, and tells that ‘You are giving liberally. That’s very good’.

The moment it tells like that, ego sets in. When “ego” predominates, giving is denied.

You are not the doer, but the divine is

The quarrel of these four chakras is watched by VISUDHI that is THROAT CHAKRA.

Visudhi means purification. The Visudhi tells the other chakras, you are not the doer, and if you let go the thinking that I am the doer, you will become very good.

When ‘I am not the doer’ thinking comes to you, there will be surrender mentality. All your thoughts will be purified; your love will be refined; then you will accept whatever happens in your life.

Purification of Chakras

Which mantra purifies all these chakras? That is the mantra:

HARE RAMA HARE RAMA

RAMA RAMA HARE HARE

HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA

KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE

Eight times we are chanting HARE, every time you chant the mantra. When you chant HARE, your selfishness will go, and self-centeredness is removed.

When you chant RAMA, arrogance is removed, and the “I” goes off. As long as you are healthy we will not let go the “I”.

“KRU” means adaptability. We can go up and down in life, but wherever we go we have to be happy. For that “KRU” will help.

SHNA means let go of everything daily. Only when you let go you will be adaptable/flexible. If you are flexible means there is no arrogance.
