One of the most significant aspects to this collection of quotes by the Sages is that in addition to pointing out that everything is a dreamlike illusion, the also point out in many of their quotes that upon Self Realization everything disappears. They also state that realizing that the world, etc. is an illusion is essential for Self Realization.The type is Palatino 15 for crisp clear easy reading.This book contains all of the quotes in Chapter (Step) Two from the book The Seven Steps to Awakening. Everything is an Illusion is Book Five in the Self Realization Series. One purpose of the Self Realization Series is to put just one category of quotes into a small book that has the advantage of making it easier to focus, meditate on, grasp and have insight into just one subject at a time. That makes the approach simple, easier and less complicated. The idea is to stay focused on just one subject until you have received everything you need to receive from that one subject. Most people go on to the next subject without ever having learned to apply to their lives the subject they are studying now. The Self Realization series of books are portable practice manuals aimed at helping sincere seekers of Self Realization master one Key to Self Realization at a time.The six titles in the Self Realization Series are: 1.Self Awareness Practice Instructions. 2.The Desire for Liberation.3.The False self.4.Inspiration and Encouragement on the Path to Self Realization. 5.Everything is an Illusion.6.How Not to Get Lost in Concepts.

  • Ranjit: I Saw Him and He Conquered Me
    QUESTION :The first time you met Siddharameshwar Maharaj, at the age of twelve, how did you know that he was your Master? Ranjit: I saw him and he conquered me. That's the main point. Since my birth my thoughts have always been on the side of the gods – Lord Krishna, Rama and other gods in Hindu mythology. I was praying with all my heart from the age of six. I was very much engrossed in worshipping Lord Krishna with very much devotion. I would go to temples and go on pilgrimages. All my family members were also worshipping along with me. At that time, my health was very weak and I was fasting and doing many, many things. There's one extra month that comes in India, it's called Krishna Purushottama, Lord Krishna's month. During this month I was not speaking, even when I was having my meals. I just want to say that during this period I was doing so many things. Later on I got into an accident. I was walking together with my father and a cart conductor ran over my leg. The bones were broken in three places. It was completely bandaged. Also, at the time my mother was pregnant, so my neighbour took charge of me. She was a very religious minded old lady. In the end, I lived with her for twenty years. And as she was very religious minded, more of these kinds of thoughts came upon me. Her nephew was working in a solicitor's office where the managing clerk was named Mr.

  • Maharaj R and Vernon a the Way of the Bird
    The Way Of The Bird Quotations of Ranjit Maharaj Commentaries by Andrew Vernon 1 January: The Illusory Nature of the World 1.1 "The world is not true." The world is not external. Perception of the world happens spontaneously in the Self, against the unchanging background of reality, like the dream that occurs in sleep. You are that Self, not an individual, but you have forgotten about it. In fact, the individual person that appears to have forgotten is also happening spontaneously as one of the characters in the dream of life, while the Self rests peacefully in its own completeness, like Vishnu sleeping on the cosmic ocean. If a world appears, there is consciousness of it; if nothing appears, there is no consciousness of it. The world that appears could be a dream world or it could be this waking world. The appearance and the one who perceives it arise together and are not separate. Both the dream world and the waking world disappear when you are deeply asleep. If they were true, they would remain. 1.2 "The body is dead at this moment." The body is like an appliance that works when electricity is connected to it and which ceases to function when the power is disconnected. The body itself, like the appliance, is an inert thing-it doesn't have any life of its own. The life that animates the body is a power that transcends the sense of individual existence. What is the nature of that power that gives life to all that lives? That power is pure knowledge or universal consciousness.

  • Remembering Nisargadatta Maharaj
    Remembering Nisargadatta Maharaj I was sitting with a visitor recently, looking at a new book on Nisargadatta Maharaj that consisted of photos and brief quotes. I knew some of the people in the pictures and narrated a few stories about them. This prompted a wider and lengthy discussion on some of the events that went on in Maharaj’s presence. After she left I felt prompted to write down some of the things I had remembered since I had never bothered to record any of my memories of Maharaj before. As I went about recording the conversation, a few other memories surfaced, things I hadn’t thought about for years. This, therefore, is a record of a pleasant afternoon’s talk, supplemented by recollections of related incidents that somehow never came up. Harriet: Every book I have seen about Maharaj, and I think I have looked at most of them, is a record of his teachings. Did no one ever bother to record the things that were going on around him? Ramakrishna had The Gospel of Ramakrishna, Ramana Maharshi had Day by Day, and a whole library of books by devotees that all talk about life with their Guru. Why hasn’t Maharaj spawned a similar genre? David: Maharaj very rarely spoke about his life, and he didn’t encourage questions about it. I think he saw himself as a kind of doctor who diagnosed and treated the perceived spiritual ailments of the people who came to him for advice. His medicine was his presence and his powerful words. Anecdotes from his past were not part of the prescription.

  • Qualia of God: Phenomenological Materiality in Introspection, with a Reference to Advaita Vedanta
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PhilPapers Open Theology 2017; 3: 257–273 Phenomenology of Religious Experience Open Access Olga Louchakova-Schwartz* Qualia of God: Phenomenological Materiality in Introspection, with a Reference to Advaita Vedanta DOI 10.1515/opth-2017-0021 Received March 14, 2017; accepted April 26, 2017 Abstract: Applying Michel Henry’s philosophical framework to the phenomenological analysis of religious experience, the author introduces a concept of material introspection and a new theory of the constitution of religious experience in phenomenologically material interiority. As opposed to ordinary mental self-scrutiny, material introspection happens when the usual outgoing attention is reverted onto embodied self-awareness in search of mystical self-knowledge or union with God. Such reversal posits the internal field of consciousness with the self-disclosure of phenomenological materiality. As shown by the example of Vedantic self-inquiry, material introspection is conditioned on the attitude ‘I “see” myself’ and employs reductions which relieve phenomenological materiality from the structuring influence of intentionality; the telos of material introspection is expressed by the inward self-transcendence of intentional consciousness into purified phenomenological materiality. Experience in material introspection is constituted by the self-affection and self-luminosity of phenomenological materiality; experience is recognized as religious due to such essential properties as the capacity of being self- fulfilled, and specific qualitative “what it’s like”(s). Drawing on more than 5000 live accounts of internal religious experience, it is shown that introspective attention can have different trajectories, producing, within a temporal extension of material introspection, different spatial modifications of embodied self- awareness and a variety of corresponding religious experiences.

    NAMES OF TRAINS Agniveena Express 2341/ 2342 Howrah – Asansol (ER Howrah division) In Bangla it means “The Fiery Lute”. This is the name given to the collection of poems by the celebrated Bengali poet, musician, revolutionary and philosopher, Kazi Nazrul Islam. He was born in Burdwan district in 1899 and died in Dhaka in 1976. He is the national poet of Bangladesh, and also honoured in India.

She took over reigns of the kingdom after the death of her husband and father-in-law. She moved the capital to Maheshwar south of Indore on the Narmada River. She also built temples and Dharamshalas (free lodging)at sacred sites outside her kingdom, at prominent religious places like Dwarka, Kashi Vishwanath in Varanasi, Ujjain, Nasik, Parli Vaijnath and Somnath. The city of Indore is sometimes called Ahilyanagari in her memory.

Kennedy University Arielle S. Warner Institute of Transpersonal Psychology ABSTRACT: A model of psychosomatic mysticism (PM) is pro- posed that reintroduces the body into transpersonal psychology. The argument for PM develops links between transpersonal psychology and neuroimmunology and includes scientific notions of the mind as embodied not just in the brain but more widely throughout the body, as well as the comparative analyses of perspectives on the body in various spiritual traditions. PM is used to examine how transpersonal psychology can integrate the body, thus meeting the goals of the cli- nician, the standards of the researcher, and the emerging needs of psychosomatic medicine. The core principles of PM are explicated, such as: 1) decentralized consciousness, 2) structural phenomenol- ogical correlations between the psyche and the body, 3) in-depth un- derstanding of energy as intentionality, and 4) the possibility of actu- alizing cosmic awareness in the individual psyche.

  • Research Paper History Shivasharana Philosophy on Emancipation of Women in Karnataka

Professor and Chairperson, Department of History, Gulbarga University, Chincholi Gulbarga: 585 106, Karnataka ABSTRACT Women were suffered from secondary and subjugated position since medieval period in India. Though Government has made policies for achieving caste and gender equality, still equality is not achieved. Against this background, it is highlighted that there was caste and gender equality of all people in Karnataka in 12th Century as the people were following Shivasharana philosophy. The Shivasharanas (Philosophers) have written literary verses (Vachanas) to communicate their ideas and they were also practiced the equality among different castes and gender. Even there were Shivasharaneyas (Female Philosophers), who were contributed towards Vachana literature. There were discussions in Anubhava Mantapa related to life experiences, especially related to meditation, devotion, work, Dasoha (serving food), etc. Females were equally treated with male and participating equally in the discussions of Anubhava Mantapa. It shows that the contributions of Shivasharanas for the emancipation of women in 12th century are much appreciated. KEYWORDS : Introduction: preached by the Shivasharanas is quite unique, for spirituality is the In the history of humanity, woman has been as important a factor as starting point for any transformation to take place.
