  • Ascetic Yogas the PATH of SELF-REALIZATION Robert Koch Robert Koch Was Initiated As Sri Patraka Das at the Lotus Feet of H.H
    Sri Jagannath Vedic Center, USA Drig dasa August 23, 2002 Ukiah, USA © Robert Koch, 2002 – Published in Jyotish Digest 1 Ascetic Yogas THE PATH OF SELF-REALIZATION Robert Koch Robert Koch was initiated as Sri Patraka Das at the lotus feet of H.H. Sri Srimad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in March, 1971. He lived in India for 6 years till 1983, studying Jyotish and has received certificate of commendation for spreading Hindu astrology in the USA, from the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, in 1999. Web site: http://www.robertkoch.com n the first Canto of the great Vedic Purana Srimad Bhagavatam, there is a very interesting and instructional conversation that took place between a bull personifying I Dharma, or religion, and Bhumi, the mother earth in the form of a cow. The bull was standing on one leg, suggesting that that one out of four pillars of religious principles (represented by each leg of Dharma, the bull) was still existing, and that in itself was faltering with the progress of Kali-yuga. The four legs of the Dharma are truthfulness, cleanliness, mercy, and austerity. If most or all of these legs of Dharma are broken, or if 3 out of 4 Dharmic principles exist very rarely, in human society, then we can be confident that Kali-yuga – the age of quarrel and darkness – is well upon us. Given that there are some rare souls existing who speak and live the Supreme Absolute Truth, as is found in various Vedic literatures, the remaining leg of truthfulness still exists. Such persons are characterized by complete self-control, or the ability to detach themselves from the relative world of the senses and the objects of sense pleasure.

  • Hindu Energies Package Descriptions
    HINDU ENERGIES PACKAGE DESCRIPTIONS Ashta Lakshmi Ashta Lakshmi assists you to make energetic connection to Lakshmi and her Divine Blessings . Goddess Lakshmi means Good Luck to Hindus. The word 'Lakshmi' is derived from the Sanskrit word "Laksya", meaning 'aim' or 'goal', and she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity, both material and spiritual. Lakshmi is one of the mother goddesses and is addressed as "mata" (mother) instead of just "devi" (goddess). As a female counterpart of Lord Vishnu, Mata Lakshmi is also called 'Shri', the female energy of the Supreme Being. She is the goddess of prosperity, wealth, purity, generosity, and the embodiment of beauty, grace and charm. Lakshmi is the household goddess of most Hindu families, and a favorite of women. The Lakshmi Form: Lakshmi is depicted as a beautiful woman of golden complexion, with four hands, sitting or standing on a full-bloomed lotus and holding a lotus bud, which stands for beauty, purity and fertility. Her four hands represent the four ends of human life: dharma or righteousness, "kama" or desires, "artha" or wealth, and "moksha" or liberation from the cycle of birth and death.Cascades of gold coins are seen flowing from her hands, suggesting that those who worship her gain wealth. She always wears gold embroidered red clothes. Red symbolizes activity and the golden lining indicates prosperity. Lakshmi is the active energy of Vishnu, and also appears as Lakshmi- Narayan - Lakshmi accompanying Vishnu. Ashvins Kumaras Founder: Ramon Martinez Lopez. The Ashvins or Ashwini Kumaras (Sanskrit: अश्विê 4; aśvin-, dual aśvinau), in Hindu mythology, are divine twin horsemen in the Rigveda, sons of Saranya (daughter of vishwakarma), a goddess of the clouds and wife of Surya in his form as Vivasvat.

  • Srividya Upasana Rahasyam
    Srividya Upasana Rahasyam SRI RAJARAJESHWARI KRIPA Srividya Upasana Rahasyam file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/sbalijepalli/Desktop/Srividya%20Upasana%20Rahasyam.htm (1 of 35)4/19/2005 5:44:02 AM Srividya Upasana Rahasyam Shakta school holds Advaita as the ultimate reality in an equal perspective and of the same ideal as of the monastic Vedanta. This is evident from the sacred and mysterious monosyllable (Pranava) attributed to each thought and consisting of the corresponding seed-letters (Bijaksharas). The Pranava of Vedic thought is AUM. Correspondingly, the Shakta and Shaiva schools use ‘Hrim’ and ‘Aham’ respectively. Since all the Pranavas end in the Bindu, it is natural that the Bindu is the material cause for all the factors. It is the unconditional Brahman or the all- pervading Supreme Truth from which emanate all the conditional entities. Paraa- Bindu is the immeasurable entity into which this entire manifestational phenomenon finds repose. This power of creation and absorption, quite inseparable from its holder Shiva, is called Shakti. The magnificence, grace and beauty of this primordial Power make up eternal bliss. In consequence, there is a latent agreement among all mankind and this truth must be the one we seek. Accordingly, religions in general are at one with each other. Each has a philosophy antagonistic to the special dogma of the other. The Vedic Rishis have already declared, “The Brahman is surely different from the known, and again, it is above the unknown – such was the utterance we heard of the ancient teachers who explained it to us” (Kena 1.4). Shiva is the transcendent self, the divine power of conservation and Shakti is immanent, the divine energy of pulsation (Spanda).

  • Vaibhava Lakshmi Vrat
    Vaibhava Lakshmi Vrat We at Dipika have been receiving various requests to compile an article on this very popular vrat as there are still many questions which have not been not answered adequately, hence this is our offering to the public to make this scared puja of Mother Lakshmi widely and simply available... Vaibhav Lakshmi is one of the manifestations of Mother Lakshmi (Goddess of Wealth) in Hinduism. Ashta Lakshmi means the Eight aspects of Mother Lakshmi, symbolising eight sources of wealth viz Adi Lakshmi (The main goddess), Dhanya Lakshmi (Granary wealth), Dhairya Lakshmi (Wealth of patience), Gaja Lakshmi (Elephants, symbols of wealth), Santana Lakshmi (Wealth of progeny), Vijaya Lakshmi (Wealth of victory), Vidya Lakshmi (Wealth of knowledge) and Dhana Lakshmi (Monetary wealth).The Vaibhav Lakshmi Vrat is a popular fast among Hindus (especially women) who observe this vrat for either 11 or 21 Fridays. There are many kathas of miracles or benefits which people observed when they did the Vaibhav Lakshmi Vrat. This Vrat confers to the observer ªHappiness, Peace, Riches and Prosperityº. Desires of people observing this vrat are fulfilled immediately. But if the desires are not fulfilled, then one should observe this Vrat in intervals of three months. Then the fulfilment of desires will definitely be answered. Friday represents Venus (Shukra) as per Vedic Astrology. Venus is a planet that bestows one with all the physical comforts, luxury, glamour and much more. In Hinduism Mother Lakshmi is worshipped on Fridays for the same significance. Many observe this pious Vrat at least once a year so that any obstacles in their lives, be it: service, examinations, marriage, illness, business etc will be removed.
