Krishna saviour of cows and the weak



Lord Krishna, is the energy of the Preserver, Vishnu, which manifested on earth in the Dwapar Yug to protect Dharma. That is the purpose of an avtar. Whenever there is the downfall of Dharmayogis andrishis perform yagyas for the manifestation of the energy of preserver (aahvahan), to protect Dharma, for the sustenance of creation, and the energy responds…Krishna has said in Gita, ‘Yada Yada Hi Dharmasya Glanirva Bhavathi Bharatha, Abhyuthanam Adharmaysya Tadatmanam Srijami Aham.'

Here I would like to emphasise that Dharma is not same as religion, there being no synonym for dharmain the English language. Dharma is the lifeline of creation, that which keeps it going. The dharma of sun is to provide light and heat to earth. The dharma of tree is to purify the environment, provide shade and food. The dharma of a human being is to protect the weak, to ensure no creature in the vicinity goes without food, to raise voice against cruelty. Today man has forgotten his dharma. Crime is on its peak, there are dogs, cows and monkeys that are dying hungry, yog-gurus have turned into businessmen, vedas are being misrepresented, nature is tampered with by processes such as genetic modification and hybridization.

To quote an example - Recently, in a posh market of Delhi, a pregnant cow was injured and was bleeding profusely. A volunteer at Dhyan Ashram, spotted the cow and asked the people around to help, not one came. He made some calls and arranged for a pick up van; still nobody was willing to lend a hand to even put the injured animal into the truck. Finally, the cow died and so did her unborn baby…You visit that market right now, you will find the shops and streets decorated with confetti, hawkers have laid out stalls selling idols of baby Krishna since Janmashtmi is round the corner.

Krishna was the saviour of cows and the weak and stood up against evil. He has been called Gopala in our texts. Devotees can be seen purchasing flowers and mukuts to decorate the idols and temples, and making arrangements for ‘VIP’ darshan in mandirs…yet not one came up to save the cow that was dearest to Krishna.

Bhakti is the easiest and also the most difficult path to travel towards the destination of Moksha. WhenBhakti is felt towards Divinity then its expressions are manifold, each expression is a clear indication of the level of the sadhak and his sadhna. If you wish to express Bhakti to Krishna, then you should do walk the path shown by him. There is nothing which will please them more than this, for the various incarnations of Vishnu and also acts of Shiv are all aimed at general upliftment of the poor, saving the weak, animals or men/women, or saving the environment.

If you are not doing the chosen works of your Isht devas, then just going to religious places and decorating them with flowers and singing songs, when the exteriors are dirty and there are hungry animals and humans just outside and atrocities are being committed on them, I can assure you, will get you nowhere even close to your Isht…even if you get a VIP darshan or get to decorate your favourite temple with flowers or golden mukuts...no matter how amazing your VIP darshan was, It is fruitless.

Janmashtmi falls on the eighth day of the dark phase of the month of Bhadrapad. The day holds special significance for a spiritual practitioner as on this day it is the easiest to access the energy of Krishna for anyone who is following the path shown by him through a yagya performed under thesanidhya of Guru. It is potent day when the effect of practices like Sanatan Kriya and Ashtang Yogbecomes manifold thoughts manifest faster. If you wish to experience the power of a yagya and its ability to manifest thoughts and subtle energies, you may contact Dhyan Foundation.

MERGER OF SHIV AND SHAKTI

Shiv is the doer and may be likened to a vehicle. If you remove ‘i’ from Shiv, it becomes ‘shav’ (corpse). The ‘i’ represents Shakti, which is the fuel that energises this vehicle to perform action. 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...

The day after holi: pink, green and blue faces, rashes everywhere, body aches, cold, cough and pains occurs - thanks to catching a chill in the wet clothes or an allergic reaction to the using chemical-laced colours and other numbers of particulates that float in during holi air.

Chakra Beej Kriya: Part 1

Yog is not about twisting and turning yourself into knots and complicated postures, yog taps into the power of consciousness. As you practice yog in totality, as prescribed, you start glowing and the immunity of the body heightens, slowly you begin to exude the glow of the sun. The body that we greet in the mirror everyday is run by a higher force, which is invisible to the naked eye but very clearly visible to a clairvoyant in the form of colours and to a clairaudient in the form of specific sounds. These colours and sounds correspond to certain energy centers in the body, which control and govern various body parts and functions. Much before you identify symptoms of a disease or ailment and decide to visit a doctor, these symptoms are perceived by a yogic practitioner in the form of change in colour, texture, size and sound of various chakras. Sanatan Kriya prescribes various techniques under the topic of self-healing to access this invisible sheath of the body and through...
