Karthika Njattuvela, the Solar Transit of the Pleiades strikes !


The Indian Astro Calender was proved right, as
when Karthika Njattuvela began on 10th, it heralded the rains. It started
raining at 0700 PM yesterday and rained continously for 12 hours ! I couldnt
even work on FB, because of the heavy thunder and lightning. I stopped working
on FB at 0900 PM.

Our Astro Calender says that it will start raining from
10th May and rains will intensify after 29th, when the Solar Transit of 15th
degree of Taurus or Edavam takes place.

While this is Astro Meteorology’s
perspective, Meteorlogy will say that rains are due to depressions in the Indian
Ocean or the Bay of Bengal, giving it some fancy names such as La Nina or El
Nino !

Here is a photo of paddy fields inundated by yesterday’s rains
!


One yearn for rains !


It is a very hot day today and one
yearns for the rains. The South West Monsoon will begin on 29th May, but before
that rains are expected to appear after May 10th, when the Solar transit of the
Pleiades or Karthika Njattuvela begins.

May there be plenty of rains and
may be land become fertile, Kale Varshe thu parjanya prithvee sasya shalini

The Three Definitions

The definitions of Mind, Overmind & Supermind in Aurobindonian Dialectic

Mind ( Mana )

Mind is a clumsy interlude between Nature’s vast and precise
subconscient action and the vaster and infallible superconscient action
of the Godhead. There is nothing Mind can do which cannot be better done by the Mind’s immobility of thought free stillness.

Overmind ( Vijnana )

In its power of origination and in the process of its executive
dynamis, Overmind is the vast organiser of many potentialities of
existence, a magician craftsman empowered to weave the multi colored
warp and woof of manifestation of a single entity in a complex universe.

Supermind ( Prajnana )

Supermind is the Alpha and the Omega, the instrument of all
unification, of all origination, originative, executive and
consummative in all realised and realisable harmonies !

The Lunar Calendar !










Vaisakha is the second month of the Hindu Lunar Calender.

The Full Moon of Vrishabha ( Taurus ) occurs near the constellation Beta Librae (Vishakha ) and hence is called Vaishakha. It begins from April 21 and ends on May 20.

Vaishakha… begins from today, the New Moon of April. The Sikh Harverst Festival, Baisakhi, is celebrated this month. It is the second month of the Tamil Solar Calender.

The Full Moon of Vaisakha is celebrated as Buddha Pournima or the birthday of Lord Buddha.

In Guruvayur, the Holy Month of Vaisakha begins. Pilgrims from TN, Karnataka and AP rush to Guruvayur to have a glimpse of the Lord during this Holy Month.



The 10th Rising !

In the 10th degree of Aries, the Sun is in a state of deep exaltation, Athi Uccha. This is the 10th day of Mesha, Medam. Today the longitude of the Sun is 6 degree and today is the Aram Udayam. 

So Tenth Rising, Patham Udayam of the Sun is on 23rd. On this great day, all Hindus worship the Lord as Surya Narayana, when the Sun reaches his Athyuccha Point.

Happy Patham Udayam greetings in advance to all our brethren.

Grahanam Adir adithyo
Loka rakshana karaka
Vishama sthana sambhootham
Peedam Harathu me Ravi


Patience is the greatest virtue !





Patience is the strength of the weak
Also the ornament of the strong !

Kshama balam ashakthanam
Shakthanam bhooshanam Kshama !
Many are the teachings of the wise
In ancient and in modern books enrolled
Extolling Patience as the truest fortitude
And to the bearing end of all calamities
All chances incident to man’s frail life !

Kshantavyam purusheneva
Sarvapatsu sushobhane
Thasyabhavaya bhavathi
Krodha Paramadaruna !

The patient will be extolled
As it is he who triumphs
He conquers, who endures
He who suffers, conquers !
The end of Anger is
A great disaster indeed !

Quantum Mysticism enhances Indian Wisdom !






We said earlier that the Gnostics enriched Western Philosophy with the doctrines of the East. Similarly Indian Philosophy is enriched by Mahesh Yogi’s Quantum Mysticism and Aurobindonian Supramental Dialectic. 


Three disciples of Mahesh Yogi are still centre stage – Dr Deepak Chopra, Ravi Shankar and Rishi Prabhakar. Scientists like Dr Capra and Gary Zukav support Quantum Mysticism.

Modern astronomical theories support Indian Astro Physics and Dr Carl Sagan has testified to this fact.

Dr Robert Keith Wallace, a TM er, said

“It is appropriate to recognise India as the home of the most profound knowledge and procedures for the development of Physiology.”

in his ” Neurophysiology of Enlightenment “

Nobel Laureate Dr Prigogine, another TM er, said that more and more scientists will be visiting India, as Modern Science validates Indian philosophic verities !

Mother India is the mother of us all !

Mother and Motherland are greater
Than all Heavens and Earths !
O Mother India, Thou art equal
And the mother of us all !


Jananee janma bhoomischa
Swargath api Gareeyasi
Samatha vilasitha Bharathee
Sarva Jagathi shreyasee

This is in line with Will Durant, who said

“India is the mother of us all. Through Sanskrit, the mother of
Europe’s languages. Through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in
Christianity. Through the Arabs, of higher mathematics and algebra.
Through the village community, of self government and democracy. Mother
India, is in many ways, the mother of us all. “

Greatest is Grace !

Grace us, O Lord

Daivadheenam Jagat Sarvam
Sathyadheenam thu Daivatam

Wisdom = Grace = Insurance !

Greatest is Grace
Grace is the quality of Truth
Truth is known only to Sages
Hence Sages are my Exemplars!
