Thread of Love

‘Rakshabandhan’ literally means a relationship that protects. In the traditional Bharatiya culture this sacred relationship existed between a brother and sister. It is celebrated on the auspicious day of the full moon in the month of ‘Shravan’.

On this day the sister ties a thread around the wrist of her brother symbolizing the protection from all harm or danger. The thread is sanctified by the prayers and love of the sister for her brother. The brother in turn blesses the sister to live a happy life full of abundance and to be always available to protect the honour and dignity of his sister.

The sister’s prayers are considered powerful and assume significance as she represents the divine feminine principle. The female is worshipped in the Bharatiya culture as the creator that gives birth to life. Her blessings carry the purity and power of the creative energy of love and life.

The energy works as a protective shield around the brother (or the masculine principle) through the sacred thread or ‘rakhi’ as it is called. The masculine principle represents the sustaining aspect of life. The grateful brother provides gifts that carry the energy of abundance and welfare of the sister.

This sacred ritual of ‘Rakshabandhan’ is to honour, propagate and sustain the divine feminine and the providing masculine principle of life. To ensure that this symbiotic energetic chain is unbroken, the masculine aspect guards the honour and dignity of the feminine aspect and the feminine aspect protects the life of the masculine from all dangers.

On this auspicious day of ‘Rakshabandhan’, may every brother and sister remember, remind and renew this energetic relationship of love. May this day be celebrated in its true spirit with gay and abandon.

Love, Light and Blessings to my Sisters and Brothers 🙏

Jeevanmukta or Liberated Being

Jeevanmukta’s are not abstainers or recluses. They are free from the binds of attachment to a particular way of life. They enjoy and participate in all the abundances that nature offers.

They associate with everything since they see the one in all. On their own they may prefer a particular way but they are not against anything. They are simply detached.

They are happy at all times and detached to both likes and dislikes. Just as the lotus blooms in its full glory unmindful of the muck around it and spreads joy to one and all. So does a liberated soul.

Detachment is not avoidance or abstinence. Detachment is enjoyment without getting entangled or trapped.

A detached person is not averse to fun or participating with family and friends. He or she is equanimous in all situations and at all times and as such is unaffected by the binds of karma.

He or she is ever vigilant to perform the allotted dharma or duties and follows the path of truth. They are lovers of life. They spread love and joy to all they are connected with.

They constantly discriminate between the temporary and permanent, the untruth and truth, the unreal and real. This power of discrimination comes only due to their detached way of life.

So, the vedantic way of life is not anti-enjoyment. It actually lays down the path for true, uninterrupted and permanent joy, happiness or bliss.

May this wisdom and correct understanding spread in all corners of the Universe.

Love, Light and Gratitude,

The Trinity

O’ Wise Teacher what are the various aspects of God or Godhood? Please share.

The Teacher explained “There are three aspects of God or Godhood. These are creation, sustenance and change.

As the name suggests the creation aspect requires immense creativity. Only a peaceful mind can create something new and innovative. The ancient wisdom calls the creation aspect as Brahma depicted as seated on a lotus flower. A constant and uninterrupted state of peace characterizes Brahma carrying on the pure work of creation. Lotus represents purity and awareness. Such tremendous peace attracts purity and wisdom as it’s mate which is referred to as Saraswati.

The sustenance aspect is the one that sustains life after birth and is for a long period of time. As such, it is characterized by patience. The ancient wisdom calls the aspect of patience as Vishnu. It is depicted as resting on a thousand hooded snake in the ocean of Samsara. The snake represents both a protector as well as the negativity in which life or Samsara operates.

The vast ocean represents the endless nature of the world and also signifies the atma which is eternal. Thus, it requires great patience to deal with the negativity, lessons and experiences of life. Such phenomenal patience attracts abundance as it’s mate represented by Lakshmi.  Abundance or Lakshmi is always found at the feet of Patience or Vishnu.

The dissolution gives way to change which is the only constant of life. The ancient wisdom refers to it as the Shiva aspect. It is characterized by detachment born out of discrimination. Change management requires discrimination between right and wrong. Implementing change requires detachment.

That is the reason why Shiva is represented as a meditator or a yogi. Such detachment attracts protector as a mate represented by Parvati. The protector mate or Parvati, out of love, is ever ready to carry out the task of protection from evil in its various forms of Durga, Kali, Shakti, et all.

To the devotee who prays to any or all of these aspects can experience its energy both in the form and formless representation.”

I was stunned by the revelation of the Master.  On the eve of Guru Purnima, I pay homage to my Teacher, Master and Guru for selflessly sharing his infinite wisdom with all. I bow down to thee in reverence. I pray that you bless me to become an image of you. On this sacred day, I offer myself to you as ‘guru dakshina’. May there be Universal Love, Universal Light and Universal Joy in every corner of this Universe.

Love, Light and Gratitude,

God Only

O’ Wise Teacher please share what happens when an individual experiences heightened level of awareness?

The All Knowing Teacher revealed “As the consciousness grows and the awareness expands significantly the individual experiences a connection with the Divine or Universal Consciousness. As the awareness grows the connection grows and soon it becomes a constant.

The individual experiences an unknown presence. This presence is gentle, reassuring and loving. Even though the individual is alone he or she doesn’t feel lonely. They feel secure, protected and in control.

The presence also communicates with effortless ease. The communication is in the form of intuition or inner promptings. On following the inner promptings the individual experiences opening of unexpected doors. They find solution to vexing problems. They discover a new and a more patient way of dealing with life situations. They feel they have so many more options than before.

The individual is no longer anxious about the correctness of his or her actions as he or she realises that these promptings come from the source of creation. As such he or she experiences fearlessness. Their reactions and responses become more controlled. Unfathomable peace descends.

The individual experiences that he or she is at the right place at the right time, everytime. He or she understands that everything is happening for his or her higher good. He or she feels confident at all times and unconditionally surrenders to the wisdom of the Divine Consciousness.

The individual awareness eventually takes it to a point where he or she realises that nothing but the Divine Consciousness or the Universal Consciousness exists. He or she realises that everyone and everything is God. His or her own individual consciousness merges into the infinite Universal Consciousness. The One becomes All.”

Thanks to my incredible Teacher I understand my experiences better and I realise that I am on the path of merging with the infinite consciousness. I am and shall remain deeply indebted to the wisdom and guidance of my Teacher, Master and Guru without whom I couldn’t have progressed on this journey of love and oneness.

Love, Light and Intuition,

The inner calling – Only Love is Real

It’s time to remove and throw the garb and don the new robe of ‘The Shining Self’. The time of pretending and playing along is over. The soul is rejecting the old, complete detachment from the ways of the past. The covert operation of change is to be revealed to the world soon.

We are being asked to move from undercover to frontline roles as the Creator is heralding the new world of love, peace and wisdom. The eagles are out and flying high. It’s time to arise form this long stupor and rightfully claim the divinity that we truly are.

We are children of God. We are part of the one single Unitary Consciousness. We come from this Oneness and we shall merge back in the same. No birth no death – we truly remain. This body is a temporary garment assumed for the present times and task. We are light bodies fully aware and conscious of the reality of Universal Consciousness.

I am hearing both loud cries and shouts of joy at the same time. It’s just noise to the ears – undistinguished, detached and having no relevance in the New Order. It’s really not a New Order, its how it has always been and we are re-discovering our true state of Being (internality)!

We had got caught in between in the state of doing (externality). The body is just an apparition that we call as real; it becomes scary as breath stops. We maybe living in flesh but we are already dead if the spirit is gone.

All relationships are illusory except for relationships of heart. The heart only knows the language of love. Love does not need words to express it – best understood in silence. It travels through vibrations of intentions and actions.

If your intention is pure, authentic and heartfelt then love will be received by the other-self irrespective of distance, time, body and space. For only ‘Love is Real’. Love in action is authentic only if the action is selfless based on the principle of ‘Giving’. For a pure heart chant the name of God and engage yourself in loving service.

Serve wholeheartedly strangers and known alike – ultimately we belong to the same One Family. Serve, for you have been blessed by the God-self to realize the divinity in all and not out of any dictum or for any recognition. Away from the world of ego and achievement find your true self that is a humble servant of the God-self. Humility is the key.

The realization of the reality of the true self and reclaiming our inherent divinity is not an achievement of the I-self but an act of grace of the Almighty. He chooses the timing, event and place. His ways are mysterious and uncertain. It is not an easy path if you are conditioned and tied up to the ways of the external world but if you surrender to the lord who resides within your heart, then he will guide you like a shepherd.

However, like the sheep you have to yourself travel the path to greener pastures. He will get you to the door but you must open the door yourself and move beyond. You have to discard fear that stems from ignorance and trust the God within and move into the world of existence, awareness and bliss (Sat, Chit, Anand).

This world does not exist on any other physical reality but here and now. Hear the chant of the divine name forever in the recesses of your heart. Give up the heavy load that you are carrying of expectations and attachments and freely experience the light within.

As you become comfortable with your reality share the message of divine love with all your brethren. Love yourself first! Live the life that exemplifies your Master’s message and inspire the Universal Family to live in Love and Abundance.

Come Join me on this path of love, abundance and joy unlimited

Love, Light and Gratitude,

Young Ones As You Fly

O’ Beloved Teacher please share some wisdom with the youth of today?

The Teacher was radiating youthful exuberance on this day as he shared. “Hello! My Young Friends! I want you to know that Age is just a number which has no relevance to your real Self. Your understanding and growth does not depend upon the number of physical years but in your Openness to Explore the truths of Life. So do not hesitate to gain your own insight and Experience the world First Hand.

Your willingness to Adapt and Accept the situations of life that you get exposed to determines the speed at which you shall grow. So do not resist situations, Accept them and Adapt yourself. Don’t try to Change others, only change Yourself. As you Change the World Changes automatically.

The Hard Work or effort you put in determines the Success you Achieve. Only Effort is in your hands not the Results. If you remember at all times “To do your BEST and leave the rest in the hands of God or Universal Consciousness” you shall experience the unseen hand of God guarding and guiding you always. You will find that you become passionate about everything you do. But the effort has to be the BEST.

Shortcuts in life come back to haunt you. So, avoid the temptation in the first place as experience has taught us that one has to pay or work twice over in the long run. You are however, welcome to experience this truth yourself.

On the way you will experience hurts and betrayals as they are an essential part of your growth. At such times be generous and forgive all those who have hurt you. Don’t hold things against them. Forgive, forget and move on. You will feel light and free. Forgiveness is a Magic Mantra.

Always remember that God created you as a perfect being and as an image of itself. So accept and love yourself unconditionally. Love yourself before loving others. When you love yourself then loving others comes naturally.

Situations never appear perfect but they indeed are. Our ignorance and lack of understanding makes them imperfect. So don’t wait for the right moment, do it NOW. Each moment is PERFECT.

To AGE means to Adapt Grow and Evolve. This is what the journey of life is all about. All the tough situations in life are like exams designed for our growth and evolution. Welcome challenges as they are an opportunity to GROW. Remember that no matter how tough the situation appears we always Overcome it.

Be Cool and Confident. Don’t put heavy stakes to life. It’s is a beautiful journey. For every problem there is a solution. It is not important to have all the answers just have the right questions. The answers always appear when the question presents itself.

Don’t be in any hurry to find a life partner, the right one is waiting for you. The Soulmate will reveal itself at the appropriate time and you will know it when that happens.

God does not interfere in your life. You are grown up and responsible for your decisions. You have to now give meaning to your life as we all must. God provides for all your needs but not all your desires. However, God has unlimited wisdom to share with you.

Only wise experience happiness and joy in life. Scarcity is only in our thoughts. In love there is only Abundance. Abundance comes from Giving and not Taking. So whenever you have a choice Give and nature shall bring abundance in your life.

Love fully and unconditionally. Don’t Judge simply Love. Love will bring Trust, Collaboration and Compassion. Be Happy and Joyous always. Celebrate each day as if its your birthday. Happy Birthday!”

In Gratitude I remain,

Love and Light,

Vikas Varma
