My Revelation

 I was reading this book, recommended by one of many fun relatives

The Laws of The Spirit World
Khorshed Bhavnagari
Everything came together.
One of the reviews from Amazon"This books shows in simple language how to make spiritual progress so that we can live a more happy, positive and loving life and ascend to higher levels during this lifetime. It tells us in clear language that those people who resist changes and do not learn to forgive, love and express gratitude will have a tough time ahead. It tells us that positive and good people always receive help from higher realms even during tough times (remember Noah's Arc story?) and those who are negative perish"
The book explains that we are in Universe 3 out of 7
The Universe 3 has 7 levels.
Level 1 being the worst, and Level 7 being the best
Level1 - has all kinds of slimeballs.
Level7 - has the best of souls
Level 1 is over-populated
To move up from one level to the next, it takes 200 to 300 years.
You have a fast track version - come to earth and do good
You do good in this world, within 60 years you can move upto the next level.
You decide what good you want to do in this world.
But it is like snake and ladders
You do bad in this world (and chances are very high since you are surrounded by evil) you are bitten by the snake and you go down a level or two.
Earth gives you a chance to do good and move up to the higher level.
So how do we stay away from evil, when the world appears so real with the glitz and glamor, the money the babes you name it.

So here is my theory - that the book doesn't explain
We talk about meditating, and going to our inner recesses.
Bhagwan Ramana Maharishi talks about going to the source of the breath - who are you.
When we do that - we are in touch with our sub-consciousness, and we start receiving the messages.
There is always data coming from our sub-consciousness, this is how we behaved when we were infants. When the I/ego took over, we stopped responding occasionally to our  conscience, and ignoring it for 'wordly progress/riches'. The conscience begins fading away. When we commit a sin, the conscience guides us, and we ignore it. Do it a few times, and the conscience stops resonating within the mind. We turn into Darth Wader. 
You listen to your conscience, you can become Yoda sans the funky grammar.
So to become Yoda, we need to meditate.
How important is it?
Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi advised, knowing who we are as most important. Everything else is trivial. If we can listen to our conscience, we are doing the right things in this world to progress up.

So by thinking of WHO AM I...going deep inside us, we are obeying our conscience, and get to move up the level. Who wants to design a video game for this?

Where is your million dollar check?

A business executive was deep in debt and could see no way out. Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.

Suddenly an old man appeared before him. "I can see that something is troubling you," he said. After listening to the executive's woes, the old man said, "I believe I can help you." He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand saying, "Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time." Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.

The business executive saw in his hand a check for $1,000,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world!

"I can erase my money worries in an instant!" he realized.Nonetheless, the executive decided to put the check in his safe first. Just knowing it was there, would give him the strength to work out away to save his business, he thought.

With renewed optimism, he negotiated better deals and got extended terms of payment from creditors. Soon he could close some big sales. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

Exactly a year later, he returned to the park with that uncashed check. The old man did not appear for some time yet the business executive decided to wait for a while more. A while late the old man came along the way but seemed to be unmindful of the business executive. He stopped the old man and was about the hand over the cheque with a few words of thanks as well as share his success story.

At the same time, he saw a nurse come running up and grabbing the old man. "I'm so glad I caught him!" she cried. "I hope he hasn't been bothering you. He's always escaping from the rest home and telling people he's John D. Rockefeller." And she led the old man away by the arm.

The astonished executive just stood there, stunned. All year long he'd been wheeling and dealing, buying and selling, convinced he had a million dollars behind him. Suddenly, he realized that it wasn't the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his new found self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after. He understood that Confidence is nothing but the distant vision held positively no matter what comes in between. It comes from one's own commitment and dedication and entirely internal.

I dance ....therefore I am

And...Monday evenings, as I dance away like there is no tomorrow, I feel the hand of Shiva.
The blessings of Nataraja that just descended upon me, that blessed every pore of my body and I get immerse in the fierce Tandava....just like Shiva might have - or at least a tiny bit of semblance.

Namah Shivay...

May we all discover dance, the elixir of life



Be alive, hug and dance

When we are flowing and alive in our sensuality, the whole world appears luminous and we have a smile on our lips for the people we meet. We move into a space of overflowing energy. 

Energy, by its very nature is delight. You may have had the experience of having had a really superb night of sex with a lover, and then becoming aware, of how the next day, you are as if floating on air. Your steps become buoyant, you feel abundant and generous, you want to kiss the world. The whole of nature appears to be sparkling and even normally mundane jobs become light and playful. The fact that this happens at all simply proves that this state of being, this natural high, is available. Being naturally high is part of the body’s resources, which can be accessed at any time. This ‘high’ gets woken up by good sex, but is not dependent on sex in order to happen. 

Another example of this overflowing state of being is with children. Children, when very young are magnetically attractive, simply because they are on a natural high, in tune with existence and floating in a sea of love. Still another example is that of animals. When you look into the eyes of a cat or dog you may see the quality of joy or peace, which awakens the same quality in you. Pets can teach us how to enter into a relaxed and easy state of being. As individuals, we can learn how to awaken our dormant sensual aliveness so that it becomes a constant bubbling up of joy and fulfilment. 



We can become orgasmic and in love with life on an ongoing basis. The way to activate this is to allow ourselves to be really sensual. Let orgasmic, sexual energy spread all over the body, and into each action of life. When watering the garden, become one with it. Dance with the trees swaying in the breeze. Become the warmth of the sun kissing the flowers. Become the bee, drinking nectar. Become the butterfly. Savour the smell of the rich earth. Fall in tune with all of nature and dance with it. When taking food, bring awareness to it. Sense the origin of this food. Feel the journey it has taken to reach your plate. Taste each bite. Sense how it moves into your body and how it is being digested and absorbed. Listen to your body as the food is taken in. Is your body happy and delighted with your choice or miserable? In this way we learn to love and respect the tremendous harmony of body functions and to treat the body with the utmost care. Your body will return this caring attitude by reverberating with pleasure, like a cat purring in the sun. When sitting silently anywhere, for example on a beach, or on a bus, just bring awareness to your breath. Let the breath activate pleasure all over the body. In a natural flowing state the simple act of breathing brings a constant inner massage which is very pleasurable. Breath is life, so within it is contained all the secrets of how to be fully vibrant, ecstatic. 


We were born to dance. The body loves joyous exercise. The lymph flow in the body cannot move unless it is activated by physical activity. The best forms of physical activity are those which bring a lot of pleasure, such as walking in nature, swimming in the sea, dancing etc. Freeform dance is an easily accessible way to free inhibitions, open the flow of vital energy and enter into inner ecstasy. Give yourself the gift of joyous exercise and you will soon find that you are naturally orgasmic a great deal of the time. Touch is an essential ingredient in the awakening of sensual pleasure. The skin is an organ in itself, and how you treat it will have a great impact on how you experience the world. Hugging and cuddling is one of the best ways to activate pleasure and well being. People can learn to hug more as a natural form of greeting others. The art of hugging is to really feel and be present with the person you are with. Breathe together for a few moments and really allow your whole body to be in contact with the other. People are very afraid of hugging because in many cultures it has sexual connotations. However, this is an attitude, which can easily change. It is actually a very natural and deeply needed expression in all phases of life. The quality contained in orgasm, which is an ecstatic let go into a space beyond time and mind can be applied to everyday life as well. When you laugh a great belly laugh, it has an orgasmic quality in it. This totality of expression can be brought into many areas. Just try drinking a cup of tea in an orgasmic way. Dance naked under the full moon, making love with the moon and stars. Experiment with bringing that quality of celebrative and total let go into all kinds of areas of your life and discover how the world mirrors it back to you. For it is how you as an individual are inside, that is reflected back to you from the outside. 

Sensitivity means both your response to stimulation of the senses, and a heightened awareness of yourself and others in personal relationships. When your sensitivity is awakened, your experience of life is enhanced in all dimensions. Through your senses you see, hear, feel, smell, and taste the world around you. And also through your senses you can enter into a subjective experience of happiness and orgasmic pleasure. If your senses become dull, you are more likely to become sad and depressed. As you enhance your sensitivity, you discover spontaneous delight, your inner and outer world sparkle with aliveness. Each sense organ functions like a swing door. In one direction it opens to physical pleasure or pain, while in the other, it opens to an expansion of the soul and spiritual awareness. The more you expand your sensory awareness, the greater is your spiritual awakening. In love play with or without your partner, focusing on the different senses can expand your capacity for sensual awakening, both physical and spiritual. In this way you enhance your total life experience to its maximum potential. Each sense can give pain or pleasure. 




Many people deaden their senses in response to traumatic experiences or conditioning that inspire fear of being truly alive. The message from the body and soul is: Fulfilment is possible if we are willing to open up and expand our sensitivity on all levels. Our natural state of being is bliss. Allowing an expansion of sensory awareness will lead you slowly but surely toward a life where even a simple act such as breathing becomes ecstatic.

Formless Shiva


The final Monday of the Shravan month.
Interesting weekend - as I took a long plane ride to the east coast to attend a wedding.
And I continued reading FACE TO FACE WITH SRI RAMAN MAHARISHI - Enchanting and Uplifing Reminiscences of 160 persons.

And I came across this - page 68
Once someone enquired of Bhagavan as to what he would request if Lord Shiva appeared before him on His bull prompting him to ask for a boon. Bhagavan is reported to have said, "Do not try to deceive me. He has no form. I don't want to be tempted by your questions. He is the formless Self in all"

And I wondered - that period when Bhagavan went into deep meditation. What really happened?
What was his consciousness doing?
Was he just blissful in his consciousness and chose to shut out the world?
Or was he still seeking?

I would love to find out.
And I actually emailed the ashram a while back - if they had a recording of his voice.


So going back to the form...
If he is the formless, and I hold onto the form. 
So who is the SHIVA with the matted hair, and with the trishul?
What does Bhagavan know that he called Shiva as formless.
So to be formless is to be God?

And...I ...and you, and everyone carries Shiva with themselves?
And why is Jesus Christ so popular then? Or Krishna for that matter?
And doesn't that give me a chip over my shoulder to be carrying Shiva with me.
And I dwelt on SHIVA being part of everything.
The world - being Shivness

And - as Bhagavan has said - The eyes would never know what it looked like, but for the mirror.
The consciousness would never know what it looked like, but for the world. The world is the mirror for the consciousness. And I haven't digested that. How did Bhagavan gain these insights - by deep meditation alone? When did he really read all those books, Vivekachudamani etc. if he held a mehfil every single day?

But we look at the mirror and think that the mirror is true and everything else is false.

The Harbinger of good times...

Some realizations after a blissful weekend @ Harbin - this below is what I expressed somewhere. This was a  workshop - about getting in touch with our inner awareness.
*******************
Thank you all you beautiful people for such a blissful weekend.

I had a strange realization after all the thinking (always wondering what door is opening up in my path - and why did it open up? Perhaps too much thinking)

I am sometimes totally out of my comfort zone and a *very* wise man recognized that and acknowledged that yesterday silently to me, and appreciated the "plunge" that I was willing to take for the transformation and the openness. How important has that been for me??

But the final though of wisdom that emerged for me while driving earlier this morning:
what is the compelling reason that got me back to Harbin again? And let me see if I can summarize it here
- It is to find the inner consciousness, that is constantly beating, but shut out by the worldly noise. (I felt that on many occasions this past weekend, during the Yoga, dances, in the hot springs...
- And to feel the love and spread the love; that sometimes we tend to suppress from our daily world. We are all in this world to only love and spread the love; our sole purpose.

And Harbin is very conducive to both; feeling the stillness from which directly emerges the love. The love that emerged unabashed and gushing forth at our tunnel of love during closing circle. That was a magical moment. ... It was so magical to see that love gush forth in all its splendor towards each and everyone in the room - I am still reeling with the sheer authenticity and purity of that. Never thought I had it in me. I just feel so much love for all humanity, living beings, nature, God - everything has a magical beat to it and I feel truly blessed to be living this life.

And having experience that - it is for me to now continue to function in this outside world - keeping those tenets close to me; and that will ultimately turn the world into a place that it was always meant to be.

I was at a meeting Monday, the day after I got back from Harbin - and my conversations were still happening from my heart space - my persona was so much relaxed, it was all about giving, and forming that relationship - coz at the end of the day, that is all that mattered. It was a unique feeling to converse from the heart - devoid of any prejudices, or judgements - but just pure and simple love. That simplified it very much!

Harbin is indeed a harbinger of the world that will be one day, when the collective humanity has figured out how to stay in the consciousness and co-exist magically and peacefully.

Harbin is one spiritual pilgrimage that every soul needs, again and again - to truly make the world special. I have made a mental resolve to be there every quarter to be constantly reminded of these core tenets of proper living.

Thank you Jee for creating such an ateeee uttam workshop!
Ateee Sundar - that touched the inner recesses of the soul of everyone present, making us all softer, gentler, loving individuals as we merge back into the world.

Soundarya Lahiri - Amazing rendition by Unnikrishnan Kb >


Sloka from Soundarya Lahari - Dedication to my Guru | Upload Music

Hi all, I always wanted to sing something for my Guru, C Narayanan Namboothiri. He was a turning point in my life. He redefined me as a person and singer. I did my Carnatic lessons from him for around 8 years. Was almost like a gurukula system. I cherish everything what I have with him.

Legend : Soundarya Lahari meaning waves of beauty consists of two parts viz. Ananda Lahari meaning waves of happiness (first 41 stanzas) and Soundarya Lahari (the next 59 stanzas). It is believed that Lord Ganesha himself has etched the Ananda Lahari on Mount Meru (Some people believe that Sage Pushpa Dhantha did the etching). It was read from there by Sage Goudapada who taught it to Adi Sankara. Adi Sankara himself added the rest of the 59 stanzas and completed it.

Sloka:
Shivah shakthya yukto yadi bhavati shaktah prabhavitum;
Na chedevam devo na khalu kusalah spanditumapi;
Atas tvam aradhyam Hari-Hara-Virinchadibhir api;
Pranantum stotum vaa katham akrta-punyah prabhavati;

Meaning :
Lord Shiva, only becomes able.
To do creation in this world along with Shakthi
Without her, Even an inch he cannot move,
And so how can, one who does not do good deeds,
Or one who does not sing your praise,
Become adequate to worship you
Oh , goddess mine, Who is worshiped by the trinity.

My guru gave me this tune. Thank you Sir for everything.

Valmiki's account - all fact (not fiction)

by Saroj Bala, The Pioneer
The author Saroj Bala is in IRS, Commisioner of Income Tax posted at Delhi.

Valmikis' account is stunningly accurate...Go on, read it and convince yourself beyond any doubts!
The facts about Ram...The story of Shri Rams' life was first narrated by Maharishi Valmiki in the Ramayana, which was written after Shri Ram was crowned as the king of
Ayodhya. Maharishi Valmiki was a great astronomer as he has made
sequential astronomical references on important dates related to the
life of Shri Ram indicating the location of planets vis-a-vis zodiac constellations and the other stars (nakshatras)
. Needless to add that
similar position of planets and nakshatras is not repeated in thousands
of years. By entering the precise details of the planetary configuration of the important events in the life of Shri Ram as given in the Valmiki Ramayan in the software named "Planetarium" corresponding exact dates
of these events according to the English calendar can be known. Mr
Pushkar Bhatnagar, of the Indian Revenue Service, had acquired this
software from the US. It is used to predict the solar/lunar eclipses and distance and location of other planets from earth. He entered the
relevant details about the planetary positions narrated by Maharishi
Valmiki and obtained very interesting and convincing results, which
almost determine the important dates starting from the birth of Shri Ram to the date of his coming back to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. Maharishi Valmiki has recorded in Bal Kaand, sarga 19 and shloka eight and nine
(1/18/8,9), that Shri Ram was born on ninth tithi of Chaitra month when
the position of different planets vis-a-vis zodiac constellations and
nakshatras (visible stars) were: i) Sun in Aries; ii) Saturn in Libra;
iii) Jupiter in Cancer; iv) Venus in Pisces; v) Mars in Capricorn; vi)
Lunar month of Chaitra; vii) Ninth day after no moon; viii) Lagna as
Cancer (cancer was rising in the east); ix) Moon on the Punarvasu
(Gemini constellation & Pllux star); x) Day time (around noon). This data was fed into the software. The results indicated that this was
exactly the location of planets/stars in the noon of January 10, 5114
BC. Thus, Shri Ram was born on January 10, 5114 BC (7121 years back). As per the Indian calendar, it was the ninth day of Shukla Paksha in
Chaitra month and the time was around 12 to 1 noontime. This is exactly
the time and date when Ram Navmi is celebrated all over India. Shri Ram was born in Ayodhya. This fact can be ascertained from several
books written by Indian and foreign authors before and after the birth
of Christ - Valmiki Ramayan, Tulsi Ramayan, Kalidasas' Raghuvansam,
Baudh and Jain literature, etc. These books have narrated in great
detail the location, rich architecture and beauty of Ayodhya which had
many palaces and temples built all over the kingdom. Ayodhya was located on the banks of the Saryu river with Ganga and Panchal Pradesh on one
side and Mithila on the other side. Normally 7,000 years is a very long
period during which earthquakes, storms, floods and foreign invasions
change the course of rivers, destroy the towns/buildings and alter the
territories. Therefore, the task of unearthing the facts is monumental.
The present Ayodhya has shrunk in size and the rivers have changed their course about 40 km north/south. Shri Ram went out of Ayodhya in his
childhood (13th year as per Valmiki Ramayan) with Rishi Vishwamitra who
lived in Tapovan (Sidhhashram). From there he went to Mithila, King
Janaks' kingdom. Here, he married Sita after breaking Shiv Dhanusha.
Researchers have gone along the route adopted by Shri Ram as narrated in the Valmiki Ramayan and found 23 places which have memorials that
commemorate the events related to the life of Shri Ram. These include
Shringi Ashram, Ramghat, Tadka Van, Sidhhashram, Gautamashram, Janakpur
(now in Nepal), Sita Kund, etc. Memorials are built for great men and
not for fictitious characters. Date of exile of Shri Ram: It is mentioned in Valmiki Ramayans' Ayodhya Kand (2/4/18) that Dashratha wanted to make Shri Ram the king because Sun,
Mars and Rahu had surrounded his nakshatra and normally under such
planetary configuration the king dies or becomes a victim of conspiracies.
Dashrathas' zodiac sign was Pisces and his nakshatra was Rewati. This
planetary configuration was prevailing on the January 5, 5089 BC, and it was on this day that Shri Ram left Ayodhya for 14 years of exile. Thus, he was 25 years old at that time (5114-5089). There are several shlokas in Valmiki Ramayan which indicate that Shri Ram was 25-years-old when
he left Ayodhya for exile. Valmiki Ramayan refers to the solar eclipse
at the time of war with Khardushan in later half of 13th year of Shri
Rams' exile. It is also mentioned it was amavasya day and Mars was in
the middle. When this data was entered, the software indicated that
there was a solar eclipse on October 7, 5077 BC, (amavasya day) which
could be seen from Panchvati. The planetary configuration was also the
same - Mars was in the middle, on one side were Venus and Mercury and on the other side were Sun and Saturn. On the basis of planetary configurations described in various other chapters, the date
on which Ravana was killed works out to be December 4, 5076 BC, and Shri Ram completed 14 years of exile on January 2, 5075 BC, and that day was also Navami of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month. Thus Shri Ram had come
back to Ayodhya at the age of 39 (5114-5075). A colleague, Dr Ram Avtar, researched on places visited by Shri Ram
during his exile, and sequentially moved to the places stated as visited by Shri Ram in the Valmiki Ramayan, starting from Ayodhya he went right upto Rameshwaram. He found 195 places which still have the memorials
connected to the events narrated in the Ramayana relating to the life of Shri Ram and Sita. These include Tamsa Tal (Mandah), Shringverpur
(Singraur), Bhardwaj Ashram (situated near Allahabad), Atri Ashram,
Markandaya Ashram (Markundi), Chitrakoot, Pamakuti (on banks of Godavari), Panchvati, Sita Sarovar, Ram Kund in Triambakeshwar near
Nasik, Shabari Ashram, Kishkindha (village Annagorai), Dhanushkoti and
Rameshwar temple. In Valmiki Ramayan it is mentioned that Shri Rams' army constructed a
bridge over the sea between Rameshwaram and Lanka. After crossing this
bridge, Shri Rams' army had defeated Ravana. Recently, NASA put pictures on the Internet of a man-made bridge, the ruins of which are lying
submerged in Palk Strait between Rameshwaram and Sri Lanka. Recently the Sri Lankan Government had expressed the desire to develop Sita Vatika
as a tourist spot. Sri Lankans believe this was Ashok Vatika where
Ravana had kept Sita as a prisoner (in 5076 BC). Indian history has
recorded that Shri Ram belonged to the Suryavansh and he was the 64th
ruler of this dynasty. The names and other relevant particulars of
previous 63 kings are listed in Ayodhya ka Etihaas written about 80 years ago by Rai Bahadur Sita Ram.
Professor Subhash Kak of Lousiana University, in his book, The
Astronomical Code of the Rig Veda, has also listed 63 ancestors of Shri
Ram who ruled over Ayodhya. Sri Rams' ancestors have been traced out as: Shri Ram, King Dashratha, King Aja, King Raghu, King Dilip and so on.
From Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Bengal to Gujarat, everywhere
people believe in the reality of Shri Rams' existence, particularly in
the tribal areas of Himachal, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and the
North-East. Most of the festivals celebrated in these areas revolve
around the events in the life of Shri Ram and Shri Krishna. The events and places related to the life of Shri Ram and Sita are true
cultural and social heritage of every Indian irrespective of caste and
creed. Therefore, it is common heritage. After all, Shri Ram belonged to the period when Prophet Mohammed or Jesus Christ were not born and Muslim or Christian faiths were unknown to the world. The
words Hindu (resident of Hindustan) and Indian (resident of India) were
synonymous. India was also known as Bharat (land of knowledge) and
Aryavarta (where Aryans live) and Hindustan (land of "Hindus" - derived
from word Indus). During Ram Rajya, the evils of caste system based on
birth were non-existent. In fact, Maharishi Valmiki is stated to be of
Shudra class (scheduled caste), still Sita lived with him as his adopted daughter after she was banished from Ayodhya. Luv and Kush grew in his
ashram as his disciples. We need to be proud of the fact that Valmiki
was perhaps the first great astronomer and that his study of planetary
configurations has stood the test of times. Even the latest computer
softwares have corroborated his astronomical calculations, which proves
that he did not commit any error. Shabri is stated to be belonging to the Bheel tribe. Shri Rams' army, which
succeeded in defeating Ravana, was formed by various tribals from
Central and South India. The facts, events and all other details
relating to the life of Shri Ram are the common heritage of all the
Indians including scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, Muslims,
Christians, etc. Prophet Mohammad was born 1,400 years ago. Jesus Christ was born 2,000 years back. Gautam Buddha was born 2,600 years back,
whereas Ram was born 7,000 years back. Hence, discovering the details
relating to Shri Rams' life would be lot more difficult as destruction
caused by floods, earthquakes and invasions etc., would be far greater.
But, should that stop our quest for learning more about our cultural
heritage? As Indians, let us all take pride in the fact that the Indian civilisation is the most ancient civilisation today. It is certainly more than 10,000 years old. Therefore, let us reject the
story of Aryan invasion in India in 1,500 BC as motivated implantation.
In fact Max Mueller, who was the creator of this theory had himself
rejected it. Let us admit that during the British Rule, we were educated in the schools based on Macaulay school of thinking which believed that everything Indian was inferior and that entire "Indian literature was
not worth even one book rack in England." If there were similarities in
certain features of Indian people and people from Central Europe, then
automatic inference drawn was that the Aryans coming from Europe invaded India and settled here. No one dared of thinking in any other way.
Therefore, there is urgency for the historians and all other
intellectuals to stop reducing Indian history to myth. There is need to
gather, dig out, search, unearth and analyse all the evidences, which
would throw more light on ancient Indian civilisation and culture. There is need for the print and the electronic media to take note of these
facts and create atmosphere which would motivate our young and educated
youth to carry out research and unearth true facts about the ancient
Indian civilisation and wisdom and would also encourage them to put
across the results of their research before the people fearlessly and
with a sense of pride!



Welcome to the spirituality blog






This blog is an offshoot of a website that I had conceived as a result of the spiritual grace and resultant inspiration during Shivaratri Y2K (http://www.jyotirlinga.com) on the joy of Shiva Bhakti and my quest for spiritual progress. Not finding the time (yep, bad excuse!), this blog suits me fine in quickly adding content... my spiritual forays and thoughts - helps log them too. My spiritual journey started with Hinduism and it's simple stories/ teachings as far back as when I was a 2nd grader, with Lord Shiva and has now found convergence with Advaitism / Duality. The Advaitism gurus like Bhagwan Ramana Maharishi, Nisargadatta Maharaj; they have provided that spiritual boost of energy in many lagging moments and have tremendously influenced me ... little baby steps at a time... that will hopefully all lead upto a final crescendo. The merits of satsangh are many!
