Guru Purnima

By

A guru has the phenomenal potential of taking you beyond, not just from the pains and miseries of life but beyond yourself. In Vedic philosophy the highest place and regard is given to the energy called guru. The guru is not a physical being; guru is the energy, considered even higher than para brahma, the Divine Consciousness.
For a sadhak (practitioner), guru is the Divine incarnated. Guru’s shakti (force) is not limited, as the energy is anant (endless) and akhand (expansive). A shishya should always consider the word spoken by his guru as a mantra. Only those who are blessed can see beyond the egoistic perception of the limited senses and not use the mind to make the mistake of assessing this energy, for what is unlimited cannot be assessed by a limited mind.
Guru Purnima holds the highest place in the yogic philosophy, for it is the day when the guru’s force is at full bloom and is very easily accessible. Just like full moon when the moon’s magnetism is at its height, similarly on Guru Purnima a guru’s glow is at its height and merely being in your guru’s presence can have amazing effects on your evolution and inner world.

MERGER OF SHIV AND SHAKTI

By

Shakti is the force of the physical world. Shivratri is the night of merger of Shiv and Shakti making a complete whole. Shiv and Shakti pertain to manifest creation and arise from the unmanifest. The journey back to the unmanifest can be carved only through their complete merger which is the ultimate purpose of yoga and Sanatan Kriya . A practical example of merger of Shiv and Shakti is the institution of marriage where the merger of male and female leads to manifestation of a new life. If there is a mismatch in this merger of male and female, or Shiv and Shakti, the marriage remains incomplete. This imbalance is evident in the progeny who will exhibit anti-social and undesirable behaviour and traits. The rishis of yesteryear explained how incompleteness sets into the child in t...
