Know thyself in right way


Always we try to know thyself. That is knowing ourself. we try to read some thing and try to implement it in our life in an effort to knowthyself process. But many times it may result in disaster, because there is no guru to correct our know thyself process. Know thyself is to know who you are really. Are you the body? are you the mind? The intellegence or life? who are you? Using elimination method you can know thyself. You are none of the above list. You are the eternal witness.

24 gurus of Lord Dattatreya


Lord Dattatreya is powerful god for Hindus.Many people worship him. He bestows special powers and the worshippers follow a different methodology when they worship Dattatreya . In a way he is the starter of the Guru culture worship , as it exists today. He belongs to Before Christ time period but he has descended on to earth in many avatars. One of those avatars lived in India around 18th century. Dattatreya is said to be son of the trinity brahma , vishnu and Eswar. The point is, Dattatreya (Avadhuta ,means great self realized master) described that he has 24 gurus , from the mother nature and he learnt great things from these gurus, for spiritual development. In other words he suggested that we should learn these qualities from the nature around us, to grow spiritually. The 24 Gurus are:the earth, air, sky, water, fire, moon, sun, pigeon, python; the ocean, moth, honeybee, elephant, the deer, the fish, the prostitute Pingala, the kurara bird (Hawk), the child; the young girl, arrow maker, serpent, spider and the wasp. More information about why he selected these , can be obtained from here There is a very pious book which describes in detail about this dattatreya and his avatars and the book is very good and useful. This is called Guru Charitra. Devotees read this regularly and get their hearts filled with dattatreya. All the stories and incidents written in the book are very interesting and makes us well desciplined as they influence our mind very much and make us long for a guru. Thursday is very auspiciaous for all the worshippers of this Guru. We find 4 dogs sitting infront of him. It is told that these dogs are the actual vedas. Guru charitra should be read once to know more details about the gurus, and desciples and how they lived in ancient years, how dedicated they are for gurus.
 

Fate theory- Fake practice


Many times if we are believing in fate, feel that all the troubles and mishaps are because of the fate. Because of the bad deeds we have done in previous lives. We argue that all this low profile of our life is just because of the unfavourable planetary position in our horoscope or God's non challance. This is the case of the people, mostly from eastern side of the globe who strongly believe that every thing is done as per the fate written . They treat them as just a puppet in the cosmic show. This is true to a great extent but some conditions apply. When some thing great happens because of our effort, then we surely forget the above theory, and claim entire success to our wisdom, planning and meticulous approach and our talents so on and so forth. We just ignore that this may also be the result of fate and we have no significant role in this cosmic drama. One good example was cited by my Guru in this context. Once there was a farmer who used rear cows and sell the milk for his livelihood. He has many cattle which graze in the nearby pastures and also enter into some private fields now and then. Once few cows entered into the private farm of another landlord . When the landlord tried to drive away them with a stick, accidentally a cow received an unintended blow and died immidiately. No one will hit a cow so harshly, but some how it died because of some unknown reason. This landlord was in trouble. Because the farmer is a quarrelsome person and he may say anything and ask any compensation for this. So , slowly the landlord called the farmer. This is the dialogue between them: Farmer: "sir, why did you call me? why are you so gloomy? what is the reason?" Landlord:" oh my friend. today some thing bad has happend. In my farm, one cow has died when i was trying to drive it away from the farm.That is the reason for my sadness. I lost my mental peace with this event!" Farmer:"Dear sir, are you a fool? Who are you to kill an animal? everything happens as per the fate. You are only a puppet. The cow consumed its life span and so it died. You are not at all the reason or cause for its death. It is your foolish ness to worry without knowing the fate theory. You learn it from me. I believe in it very much." Land lord: :"Thank you friend. I gain peace of mind after talking to you. Anyway, the killed animal is not mine, but yours. I did not know how to convey this sad news to you" Farmer: "Oh, what did you do? you have caused a great damage to me. You killed my valuable cow. How can i live without it? Who are you to drive animals and kill them? what authority you have? I will now complain this to court and ask compensation." So, this way the life goes. When loss occurs to others, it is a fate. When it happens to us, we treat it differently. If we believe a theory, we should believe it fully and completely

chinese proverb know thyself

Know thyself to know others, for heart beats like heart. This is an important proverb from china. The great command Know thyself has reached or was active in china region also, as this is a great concept from wise men and philosophists where ever they exist. So china philosophers also stressed on the philosophical concept of know thyself and provided a proverb "know thyself to know others" and an example is also given that a heart beats like another heart. If you know about your heart or any heart, you can know about other hearts. The word to know others is important. It confirms that all the entity or matter or power in one human being is the same with all other human beings. We can extend this to or derive the concept from the above that what exists, pervades all over universe is in you and in others also at the same time, in the same condition.

Heal Thyself-Queen Afua

Queen Afua is afro american and opened a healing center in New York 18 years ago and "healing" women from their troubles. She heals their bodies and claims that she heals souls also. But cleaning soul has different meanings in different relegions. Her theory is that woman's womb is the prime center of all the disturbances because one important chakra lies there. To heal a woman, this chakra in the womb has to be cleaned with some powers and efforts. She agrees that there are chakras in the human body and womb is the first of the nine dwaras (openings) defined by the Hindu philosophy. Queen Afua wrote a book Heal Thyself for Health and Logevity was sold over 100,000 copies and opened way for holistic healing of afro american women.It is also said that she saw the spiritual significance of a woman's womb in the form of the Neter (Goddess) Nut. This led to her to recognizing the womb as the female sacred center.In her recent book, "Sacred Woman: A Guide to Healing the Feminine Body, Mind and Spirit", Queen Afua writes "Arit is the original khamitic word for 'spiritual energy center' or 'gateway'. The aritu (plural) are also referred to as the chakras. The womb arit corresponds to the second chakra representing the aspects of procreation, inspiration and family Sacred Woman training. she conducts 21 day sacred womb training where she introduces to sacred food, sacred movement, sacred spaces, sacred beauty, sacred healing, sacred relationship and sacred lotus initiation. So this is another new type of healing. What ever may be the process, the mind belief, faith is the energy that concentrates on healing process. The faith supported healing power would be rised by the healers like Queen Afua. The left out problem is what about the counter part of this treatment for men who have no womb.. If you consider past history, epics , traditions, women are entirely different from men and both are not exactly equal and same. probably one is the conjugate of the other.

Lessons from failures

robin shaw
Failure is a close frined of ours. It visits us very often and expresses its oneside love. We have to analyse and know more about our this shyless friend. Robin Sharma wrote a book "The Greatness Guide" where he also discusses about the failures and the significance and importance of failures in the life. Robin sharma is one of the world's top success coaches and he will be coaching big organizations like NASA, Wyeth,Mircosoft, Nike,FedEx etc. Robin sharma is author of another best seller "The monk who sold his Ferrari". Incidentally, robert kiyosaki also dwells on the same idea of learning from failures and taking a failure as a part of success strategy.Robin Sharma says "nothing fails like success". When you succeed, you get complacency, arrogance and that starts loosing the success again. Downslide starts. Why people , after succeeding , would not try new methods. Because of fear of failure. They are afraid of loosiing what they have. But this itself is a secret enemy which push you down. He advises to constantly innovate, try new methods, improvise your methods and operations. Fear of failure prevents us from attempting a lot of things. Without attempting it, you can never have it in life. Robert kiyosaki says that only after falling down many times, we learnt cycling. Only after tubling down, we started walking. If we are afraid of these things, we can never walk nor ride a bycycle. As per kiyosaki, the present education system is such that it prevents failure, it always want to succeed. Without failures, success is not possible. A successful business man will deinitely have two to three failures behind him. Rich dad says that unless you fail in three businesses, you can not have a successful business, to be proud of. Robin sharma suggests anyone can become genius and proposes a formula to achieve it. The formula is Focus+Daily improvement+Time=Genius. You have to identify the merits in you, polish them. Focus on them, and daily improve it . In a span of 3 to 5 years, you would be a great person in that area. What is failure? Failure is not achieving what is originally meant for that operation. A rocket fails in the middle and burns in the sky. A film fails to achieve grand success. These are examples of failures in day to day life. But the deciding factor behind a failure is the motive, or objective only. If the rocket is aimed at burning in the sky, then the above even would be a success. If the film is made with a bet that it wont cross the gross collection so and so, then it is success and the producer wins the bet. So, the failure can also be a success by changing our view or the deciding factor or yardstick. A student failed in the exam. On re evaluation, he got few more marks added (fault in sub totalling) and he passed. His old answer script only passed him. Or if the examination board lowered the pass mark, then this student would pass,making his failure into pass. Here he has not done any additional work or changed any thing in the event or process. The yard stick has been changed. The motto, object has been revised. Thus A failure may be the other side of a coin. If you go on tossing, heads will definitely come.

Maya-Illusion

sarpa rajju bhranti is a very famous example in the ancient philosophy to know thyself process. Sarpa rajju brhanti is from sanskrit which means, mistaking a rope to be a serpent (sarpa) because of illusion . one day one king woke up from his sleep and used to shout " Know thyself" "know thyself". Queen could not understand what he means and asked why he is shouting know thyself . The king did not answer but continued to shout know thyself first. he is not stopping to shout know thyself. Then the prince and princess approached the king and asked "father, why are you suddenly shouting know thyself. what is your intention. who should know whose self? should i know myself now ?" The king did not answer but shouting like a mad man, know thyself know thyself, and also murmuiring know thyself to him. The philosophy teacher of the king was sent a word about the peculiar condition of the king. The teacher is a wise man. He came and saw the condition of the king. He asked the king "oh king what you want?".The king shouted " know thyself". The priest cum teacher, thought for some time, and answered that "i knew my self". The king stopped his shouting and with surprise asked how did you know yourself? The priest said, "oh king, i know am just I. But in my dream i forgot about me and was thinking that i am some thing else. When i got up from my dream, i knew myself. Thus i knew . The king understood what the priest meant, and stopped shouting know thyself and started to learn the methods from the wise priest. Thus he got self realization through knowing himself. We all are in a dream. We assume that to be us, which is not we. You have to come out of that dream to know thyself. Sarpa Rajju Bhranthi (The illusion of rope and serpent) When we are in dim light like twilight, we see a rope laying on the ground and assume it to be a serpent. We dont see a rope but we see a serpent in that , though in fact rope only is there. When our mind gets the signal of serpent, shivering,sweating starts.we shout, cry for help. A wise friend brings a lamp nearer to the illusionary serpent and proves that it is not yet all serpent but a rope. Then we get up from the illusion,. our body comes to normal. Now where is the serpent that caused the trouble? Has it come into the rope, and gone after a while? no. Entire issue is just because of seeing a non existing thing in the existing thing. Maya , illusion is like that. What is the reason for such illusion. The contaminated mind. It first will not see what really exists (the rope). Then it sees what is not existent in the really existing thing (serpent). It also then creates shocks and waves and creates more illusions like it is moving, it is hissing , it has stripes etc. This is a very good example of the illusionary world.Only the wake up call from guru (the lamp in this case) can drive the illusion and help us to see the truth.

Sandhya vandana

A Trust worthy process to purify mind Ancient saints, gurus discovered a very very powerful mantra which can purify the mind and the body of an aspirant to help him in the pursuit of self realization. This is called sandhya vandana (worship of time) or Gayatri worship. This was an esoteric worship which was not available a century ago to all. Here are the Details about this worship
To know thyself, the body and mind should be pure and ready to receive the knowledge. Knowing thyself is none other than receiving knowledge about yourself. knowing ourself that we are nothing but the pure, eternal atma and the eternal witness without doing any thing and without receiving the fruits of the efforts. The truth is that we are already that brahman or atma or eternal god. But we donot know it as we are fully covered with illusions. When you purify yourself with some kind of efforts like meditation, relegious studies, listening to discourses your mind gets purified and your body also gets purified because of some types of rules (celebacy, vegeterianism , non violence etc). In India, another method is prescribed for quick, sure purification of the body and soul to make oneself ready to receive the knowledge or teaching about his self from any guru. This is called Upanayana or initiation in to relegion with Gayatri mantra. This mantra is very powerful and surely purifies and protects those who recite it sermoniously.In other words it shows a sure path to
know thyself. This is confirmed by one and all gurus and saints.\nThis is practised , actually, 5 times a day and now a days it reduced to 3 times a day. It has to be performed at sandhyas. Sandhya means the joining time of dawn and dusk. It is also performed at mid day , noon. The mantra is also simple to recite but very very powerful. People recite from 108 times a day to 1000s a day.\nSince the time has three types of qualities , satva, rajas, tamas the purification by this sandhya vandanam (gayatri mantra purification) is required. The time from 4 am to 8am and evening 4pm to 8 pm is considered as the time with satva (pure form) quality where as the time from 8 am to 4pm is considered as rajas characteristic (dynamic, forceful,emotional); lastly the time from 8pm to 8 am is decided as tamas (sleepy, lethargic) type and only sleeping is prescribed in this. To save ourselves from the continuous trapping of events in these periods, we are cautioned to perform this gayatri worship through the sandhya vandana. In olden days, only few people are declared to be eligible for getting initiated in to this . Now a days, it is identified that this is a powerful, trustworthy mantra to protect ourselves and to help in knowing ourselves. So, all people from all countries are learning this and practising this. Though the olden days method of worship contains some complicated mudraa (some types of actions), presently the method simplefied in to purifying the body with a good bath and reciting the basic mantra for 10 minutes atleast. Olden method used to take atleast 1.5 hours of time each time it is performed.The aspirants who are sincerely trying to pursue know thyself.

Adi Sankara's Rich contribution to Indian Philosophy

Sankaracharya contributed a lot to the Indian philosophy and a brief review on his approach and contributions for knowing ourselves. His Bhaja govindam verse is just direct wake up call for our know thyself quest.
Sankaracharya was a monk, (sanyasi ),philosophy guru, mystic saint from south India who changed the course of worship, understanding of the scriptures and the meanings of philosophy. He lived only 32 years. But , within a span of 20 years of time, he worked so much , the entire Indian philosophy gained lot of health, breathed fresh air and logical approach to customs and rite reached its peak. He started or supported the advaita philosophy (non dual) and made every body to agree to it and surrender to it because of his great intelligence and knowledge. As truth also is non dualism, every body should accept it. However the dualism is also correct (dwaita siddhanta). How can two things , each contradicting the other , can be true at the same time? Yes, that is the greatness of God. Gods creation and his mathematics are different from our maths.For example, in our maths, 1+1=2, but in God's mathematics, it is 1+1=1, 1+1+1+1=1 ; The figure one implies existence. What ever existing will exist for ever, it wont change. The famous sloka from Upanishads, if you remember " Poornamadah, poornamidam, poornasya poorna maadayate..." (That is complete , this is complete, if you subtract THAT from THIS THAT only resides.
So, in such mathematics and Maya creation, dualism and non dualism exists, both try to explain HIM. He is explained by these two and many more also. But , from our point of angle, non dualism stands good for greatest logic. Non dualism says, that there exists only one thing that is supreme Brahman. Nothing else other than that and it is not second to anything, and no second to it also.
This great principle was spread across the country by Adi (The first) Sankara acharya and from then on it is the basic principle to test or to explain any theory.Adi sankaracharya was born in kerala , around 300AD in a village called Kaladi. He took sanyasa at the age of 7 and there on he was wandering across the country, defeating many pundits in the philosophical arguments. He made many great scholars as his disciples , because of his great philosophy and also because of his personal greatness. He established many centers in India to spread this Philosophical education . These are link Shaolin temples in china, spreading martial arts. Each center will have highest order monk heading the activities. Kanchi peetha, sringeri peetha, joshi peetha etc. Sankaracharya (Sankara) wrote wonderful books , commentaries on many Upanishads and epics and these are basis for reference for the contemporary saints and gurus of present day.
One important thing from Sankara , we have to note is: He noticed that neither the pure bhakti worshippers are attaining moksha or salvation nor the pure philosophers . He created many stotras, or god praising songs for worshipping different gods. he indirectly suggested that one should purify his mind and body with these stotras, psalms and walk on the path of self realization through philosophy. Because , nirvana, or salvation comes only through supreme self knowledge. "jnanad eva tu kaivalyam". (salvation only through supreme knowledge). The great contemporary philosopher sri sundara chaitanya mostly depends on the reviews, commentaries provided by Adi sankaracharya to explain any critical issue in the religion, philosophy. Thus the great mystic saint sankaracharya contributed very much for mankind for their self realization, to help them to know themselves.

Know Thyself Plato

Know then thyself"--Plato.
Plato is a great greek philosopher and he gave the dictum after all his pursuit of knowledge
Know ourselves: It is now possible to be keenly aware of the parental and social forces which make us who we are. we are conditioned by these and our thinking is bound by these. This prevents our freedom for knowing ourselves.Proper good deeds and actions absolve us from these and pave way to know ourselves.
Know thyself suggestion from zarathrustra Zarathustra is, of course, the name of the founder of the ancient Zoroastrian faith.He suggested vigourously everyone to pursuit the riddle know thyself. If you know the self every thing is known. So one has to get a new conception of Man. Man finds himself, as it were, in a universe without God. He is on his own, he is alone. So Man has to try to understand himself afresh. He can't take ready-made any conception, any idea about himself. He can't simply accept what the Christian tradition tells him about himself. He just finds himself here, here and now, and has to ask himself 'Who am I? What am I?' He finds himself in the midst of the starry universe, he finds himself standing on the Earth, surrounded by other men, with a history behind him, perhaps with a future before him, and he has to ask himself, and ask only himself - nobody else because there's nobody else to tell him - he has to ask himself 'Who am I? What am I?'. This itself is the knowledge pursuit of know thyself.The answer to the question of who am i is the answer for know thyself command. Now that all the old definitions are gone, Man has to define himself, has to define himself anew, has to discover himself, to know himself. And this in fact is what Zarathustra has already done on the mountain. He has thought, he has meditated perhaps, contemplated perhaps, for ten long years, and now he knows what Man is. And this is the message that he now brings to humanity. This is the insight that he now brings to humanity.

Pujya Asharamji

Pujya Asharamji is a popular guru presently and his teachings can be seen in samskar tv almost daily. He is very learned and pious saint and knows a lot about self realization. More than that he got command over scriptures. He is very famous to offer tips to cure the diseases from ayurveda or other karmas. He tells how to cure paralysis defects through changing habits, how to get good sleep with mantra etc. His face shows his power. Some details about pujya asharamji. Param Pujya Sant Shri Asaramji, endearingly called 'Bapu', is a Self-Realized Saint from India. Pujya Bapuji preaches the existence of One Supreme Conscious in every human being; be it Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh or anyone else. Bapuji represents a Confluence of Bhakti Yoga, Gyan Yoga and Karma Yoga. Bapuji's original name was Asumal. Asumal listened in childhood to stories of Ramayana, Bhagwavata and other scriptures from his mother.Six year old Asumal was very brilliant in studies When Asumal saw that school education could be used merely for the purpose of winning bread and fulfilling worldly enjoyment, he became disenchanted to education. Nevertheless he continued going to school. Whenever there was any time to spare, he would go to a lonely place and meditate After his father's demise Asumal's discrimination towards life intensified Asumal kept postponing marriage for two & half years. Eventually, his family fixed up a date for marriage. He did not want to be entangled in the bondage of marriage so he ran away from home eight days before marriage. Members of family & friends started searching for Asumal, they found him in Ashok Ashram of Bharauch & dragged him back to home. Asumal was married to Lakshmi Devi. Swami Shri Lilashahaji Maharaj. He had to wait for 40 days in the Ashram to get the glimpse of Gurudev. There he stayed and served his SadGuru with true devotion. He waged war with so many troubles. He used to take just Moong Dal as food, sleep in a small
4.5 feet room. SadGurudev made Asumal go through several hardships for another 30 days & then finally Asumal was blessed. Swami Shri Lilashahaji Maharaj asked him to go back to home & continue his spiritual practices at home. He left his home and started doing intense spiritual sadhana on the banks of river Narmada at Moti Koral Swami Lilashahji blessed Asumal with ultimate knowledge, thereafter Asumal became merged in samadhi for two and half days. Sadhak Asumal was transformed into Swami Shri Asaramji Maharaj by the golden touch of SadGurudev (master). Asumal got enlightenment. From there onwards, he is teaching and showing directions for the people who want enlightenment. His ashram is in ahmednagar, gujarat, india.

Lord Buddha

Lord Buddha is one of the greatest prophets, avatars that lived , walked on this earth. His teachings, his preachings show us the way to come out of the birth and death cycle and from the fangs of the sorrow.He took birth in India, in the state of Bihar and he was a prince. His destiny of becoming a great monk could not be avoided despite the precautions taken by his father, a great emperor. How he got sudden urge to know th perfect truth? He has seen an old man, a sick person, a corpse and an ascetic on his way one day, first time. These entities and their sequences created ripples in his mind and started questions about the entity of the universe and creation, meaning of the life here. We all see all these scenes in our life but we are never bothered about the creation and the meaning of the life. The avatars who had a purpose behind their life only will have such great mind to get caught by right things.Buddha suggested eight fold way to get rid of this birth cycle and the sorrow. He found and preached that desires are the root causes for the sorrow. He has shown the way for nirvana. Buddha is a great saint, prophet and avatar. As some one suggested , he is not light of asia, but he is the Light.

God Listens?

All the devotees pray when they face troubles. Non devotees too pray for help secretely when they are in dangers, mishaps and difficulties. Thus with a belief that some unknown protector of the universe listens to our prayers pray God . But the question is god does listen to us? The concept of God listens true?. God definitely listens to every thing. He listens to even the whisper of an ant. But will he give what we want is questionable. God created the world, universe with his objective and maintaining it with it. God wants us to know ourselves. He prescribes self realization through hard work and efforts. But what we do? we pray him for our love, marriage, children, health and every thing. God arranges our marriage for his devine purpose. But , meanwhile, with anxiety we pray him for a particular alliance . If that alliance is within his plan, that marriage takes place. then we think he listened to our prayer. We pray for offsprings. But , whether we pray or not he gives offsprings to many and many to further this creation. But we think we are blessed with children. No harm in thinking like this, but the truth is God will not change his objectives for our prayers.

Know thyself through intellegence

What is intellegence? who is intellegent? We keep on using this term intellegent in our day to day life. We treat a student intellegent when he gets good marks. We treat a persona intellegent if he can see some of the things which we can not see in that matter. An intellegent person will be careful also.So, in the computer language we can define an intellegent person as a person with lot of data about the things he is dealing, and judicious logical approach to select right decision. Who is good man? A good man never harms others without a major reason. He helps others also. so a good person has lessor selfish motifs and has urge to love others by helping them to the extent possible. He believes in universal love and brotherhood. He may be a theist or atheist. But he need not follow any relegion or scriptures to support his thinking. The inbuilt conciousness will guide him. However, he should have a bit pure soul to have a pure conciousness. Whatever we think good for others may not be really good for them. But who will tell or judge what is good. Only learned , wise men can do it. Mostly, pure souls, saints are the top order good men.

Know Thyself- Spirituality through Self Realization

Tyagayya is a telugu devotee and worshipped relegiously Sree Rama and had nirvana from his musical worship of God. He is a karana janmudu which means, a person took birth with a purpose. All his life , he was composing excellent lyrics, songs on God Rama and dedicated to Him only, denying the riches offered by local king asking to dedicate songs to him and to compose songs on him. Tyagayya is also called as Tyagaraj, tyagaraja Bhagavatar and he is the maestro in karnatic music. All the karnatic musician respect him and treat him as their guru and sing definitely his compositions in every concert. Tyagaraju lived in the years of 1847, well in our age. He got the darshan of God Rama which means he has seen God with his eyes. He was given the great celestial Music book Swara arnavam by Narada. From reading it he learnt most esoteric music lessons and composed on Lord Rama kritis which means lyrics and dedicated to God. He was a very serious God worshipper and daily he used to repeat the name of Lord Rama thousands of times. He got power because of the recitation. He got help from Maruthi, or anjaneya or monkey God in getting the darshan of rama. He learnt music from another music scholar sonti venkata ramana. Tyagaraja bhagavatar lived in present tamilnadu state ,near kaveri river. Five of his compositions are called pancha ratnas and all the music scholars of karnatic music sing them in tyagaraja aaradhana utsavas, that is the annual celebrations of tyagaraja. He has shown one way to please God through music. He has devine blessings in composing these songs, so they will be there forever.
