Meissa or Mrigasira, the Head of Orion !

The Head of Orion was called by the Rishies as Mriga Sira. Mriga means the beast and Sira means head. Mrigasira is known in Malayalam as Makiryam ! 

Those born under Mriga Sira ( when the Moon tenants the constellation of Mriga Sira ) were found to be egotists and calumniers ! Ahamkaree paradweshee mrige bhavathi manava. 



Makiryam is Meissa ! 

Blogging is Marketing !







My main blog site, www.eastrovedica.net was not functional for 4 years. Now I got it back and is blogging daily.


Blogging is fun. Blogging gives you satisfaction. I realised after I blogged on my blog site and my 32 blogs on Blogger, that my impressions are going up ! More bandwidth for my sites and blogs. Only that blogging takes a lot of time, but that cannot be helped.


So blogging is the way. Blogging can take you from obscurity to omnipresence !

Chatayam Njattuvela !







In Kerala, the hot season has begun. The sidereal month of Aquarius or Kumbha started on 13th Feb and Kerala is about to reel under a heat wave. Last year the death from sunstrokes was > 100 !


On 19th, Chathayam or Sathabhisha Njattuvela started and so we are ready for a hot phase. Kumbha Choodu and Meena Choodu are famous, as the earth becomes scorched due to lack of rains.


Some summer rains can come, but they cannot sustain ! Till Edava Pathi or the Half of Taurus, we cannot expect major rains ! So a very hot season indicated till Vrishabha or Taurus !

My trip to Thriprayar





It was a blissful experience, meeting the Lord at Triprayar, during Triprayar Ekadasi. He was seated on elephant back. There were 22 elephants and it was a great festival!


This Ekadasi is the 11th Lunation in the Dark Half of the lunar month of Karthika.



Guruvayur Website !





Amongst the Four Yogas, Bhakti Yoga or Bridal Mysticism is revered.


BM reduces Ego ! In B M, the statement is “I am Thine” and not ” I Am that I Am” !


So we have stated a B M site for students, who want to learn spirituality. Guruvayur4u


This site deals with the esoteric meaning behind Mythology. Mythology is allegorical, the depiction of eternal verities through stories. 

Guruvayur4u


                                           


Without Bridal Mysticism, without Bhakti Yoga, can any one actualise the Absolute Self ? No !


So we started a Bhakti Yoga site, www.guruvayur4u.com. This site deals with devotion to the Guru or the Master.


Even though Self Actualisation is a selfish desire ! Just hear what the worldly, layman told the Yogi


While the masses are sunk in Ignorance
You want to scale the Eternal’s peaks !
To immerse yourself in Bliss transcendental
Isnt thy desire selfish to the core ?

Regarding the controversial book, The Hindus, An Alternative History by Wendy Doniger

The Exoteric and the Esoteric are
different. Those who study the Exoteric miss the Wisdom of the Esoteric. Just
giving a superficial opinion that religious traditions are mere amalgamations
of many practices exposes the author’s ignorance of Esoteric Wisdom ! She has
not understood what Henry David Thoreau said ” The English sense has toiled, but
Hindu Wisdom never perspires ” or what Annie Besant said ” After a study of 40
years, of all the great religions of the world, I find none so scientific, none
so philosophic, none so systematic as the great Religion we know by the name of
Hinduism” !


Physicalists and literalists cannot
understand the Eternal Law, the Santan Dharma !
Neither the Esoteric nor the Exoteric !

The Song Revealed to the Discriminative Intellect by the Self

That which was revealed to the discriminative intellect
Revealed by the Absolute Self
Intuited by the Master Mystic, Vyasa
And other Masters of yore
The conferror of Advaitic Wisdom
The true Mother Divine
Composed of eighteen chapters glorious
O Mighty Mother celestial
We bow to Thee !




Parthena Pratibhoditham
Bhagavata Narayanena Swayam
Vyasene Gradhitam
Purana Munina Madhye Mahabharatam
Advaitaamrita Varshineem
Bhagavateem
Ashta Dasa Dhyayinieem
Amba tvam Anu sandhadami
Bhagavat Geethe
Paradvesineem

The Geetha is verily our Mother, a Lamp lit by the Lord, the Science of the Absolute and  the Scripture on Yoga. The Lord milked the 16008 Upanishads ( allegorically depicted as His wives ) and the quintessence thus got is this Song Celestial or Bhagavat Geeta. 



The Self is Rider
The body intellect
Mind the reins
And chariot  human body !

Atmanam Radhinam Viddhi
Sareeram Ratham eva Cha

Buddhim thu Saradhim Viddhi
Mana Pragrahameva cha !



The Fivefold Pranic Energy !

This is the Fivefold Pranic Energy. Prana, Apana, Samana, Vyana and Udana.
We have the statement ‘ Pancha Prana Prabhavanti Tasmat”, that is the Fivefold
Pranic Energy started from Thee.





 Prana is the breath of life and moves in the upper parts of the body. It
brings the Universal Life Force into the physical system and distributes
itself.



The second, Apana, is the breath of Death. for it gives the Vital
Force out of the body.





The third, Samana, regulates both these
forces. Equalises and maintains equilibrium





The fourth, Vyana,
distributes vital energies throughout the body.





 The Fifth, Udana,
moves upwards from the body to the crown and is a regular channel between the
worlds of Matter and Spirit !
