  • 2007 January SIDDHI and SIDDHA
    SRI RAMANA JYOTHI JANUARY TO DECEMBER - 2007 January SIDDHI AND SIDDHA : The power to subvert natural law through tapa is known as siddhi. When a tapasvin acquires siddhi , he comes to be known as siddha. Any human being can become a siddha if he can overpower the urge to respond to sensory stimuli. Once a siddha, a human being can do whatever he wills. According to Tantra , only men have the biology to ignite tapa and acquire siddhi. Only human male has control over his reproductive organs. Plants, animals and women shed their seed during pollution, heat and menstruation whether they want to or not. Hence they cannot retain rasa. Unfettered by the cycle of nature, a man can restrain his sexual urges, retain rasa , ignite tapa and acquire siddhi. – Devdutt Pattanaik SUBLIMATE DESIRES : Forced subjugation of desires can prove dangerous. In subduing desires, we allow them to make our subconscious mind home to unfulfilled desires. This, in turn, leads to mental distractions. The Lord says in the Gita , “Abstinence from food can keep sensual objects at bay, but not the desire or attachment to them.” The Ashwagosha says: “Your celibacy is of no avail if you are adulterous in mind”… Lure of senses increases with every additional consumption of sense-objects. Desire is like an internal chain reaction, which keeps repeating without a break. Fulfillment of one desire leads to many others. In fact, we do not consume objects of pleasure; rather it is the sense-objects that consume us… The solution to the problem is neither subjugation of desires nor free low of desires… It is normal human tendency to forego an inferior object when given a superior object.

  • Helena Roerich
    HELENA ROERICH In the difficult days of world upheavals, of human disunity, of the neglecting of all the higher principles of Being, which are the only true givers of life and which lead to the evolu- tion of the world, there must be heard a voice calling for the resurrection of the spirit and for the bringing of the fire of achievement into all the actions of life. And, of course, this voice must be the voice of woman, who during mil- lenniums has drunk the chalice of suffering and humiliation and has forged her spirit in the greatest patience. Helena Roerich elena Roerich (1879–1955) was a prominent Russian thinker, enthusiast and writer whose H artistic heritage represents a very distinctive phenomenon in Russian and global scientific and philo- sophical thought. The principal work of her life – the books on the Living Ethics, dedicated to the issues of the cosmic evolution of the mankind, and her episto- lary work, closely related to her books, laid a firm foun- dation for many cultural and spiritual movements that were developing in the 20th century. Helena was born on the 12th of February 1879 in Saint Petersburg, in the family of Ivan Shaposhnikov, an architect who taught at the Institute of Civil Engineers, and his wife Yekaterina (née Golenischeva-Kutuzova), grand-niece of the great Russian field marshall Kutuzov. Since early childhood, Helena displayed remarkable abilities. By the age of six she could read and write in three languages. In adolescence she took serious in- terest in literature and philosophy. In 1895 she gradu- ated from the Mariinsky Gymnasium with honors and Nicholas Roerich.

  • Mary in Esoteric Teachings
    Chapter 7. Mary in Esoteric Writings Chapter 7 Mary in Esoteric Teachings hapter 7 explores how Mary is portrayed in modern esoteric teachings. The primary mission of Mary’s Palestinian incarnation was to give birth to Jesus, but she went on to attain C adeptship in the same lifetime. After her passing Mary made the rare transition from the human to the angelic kingdom, literally to reign as Queen of the Angels. She now serves as Mother of the World, with special concern for women and children. Mother of the World, by Russian artist, ex- plorer and peacemaker Nicholas Roerich (1924). Esoteric teachings on the World Mother build upon the rich religious traditions of South Asia and ancient Egypt. Contrasting views have emerged, which ultimately may be absorbed into a larger synthesis. One view is that the Mother is a being or entity, possibly a divine manifestation, and the historical Mary was one of several avataras sent to Earth on specific missions. The other is that the World Mother is a position or office in the Planetary Hierarchy, and Mary is the latest of a series of individualities to hold that office. Esoteric Teachings What is Esotericism? Esotericism, in its most general sense, is simply the study of the inner, less obvious aspects of reality—contrasting with the literal, tangible, outer appearances of things. The Nicene Creed af- firms belief in God, creator “of all that is, seen and unseen”; esotericism focuses on the unseen. Aside from church buildings, pews, hymnals, and organizational structures, much of Christianity is esoteric. The Eucharist is the supreme example of an esoteric reality.

    Text of Resolutions passed by the General Council of the Theosophical Society Freedom of Thought As the Theosophical Society has spread far and wide over the world, and as members of all religions have become members of it without surrendering the special dogmas, teachings and beliefs of their re- spective faiths, it is thought desirable to emphasize the fact that there is no doctrine, no opinion, by whomsoever taught or held, that is in any way binding on any member of the Society, none which any member is not free to accept or reject. Approval of its three Objects is the sole condition of membership. No teacher, or writer, from H. P. Blavatsky onwards, has any authority to impose his or her teachings or opinions on members. Every member has an equal right to follow any school of thought, but has no right to force the choice on any other. Neither a candidate for any office nor any voter can be rendered ineligible to stand or to vote, because of any opinion held, or because of membership in any school of thought. Opinions or beliefs neither bestow privileges nor inflict penalties. The Members of the General Council earnestly request every member of the Theosophical Society to maintain, defend and act upon these fundamental principles of the Society, and also fearlessly to exercise the right of liberty of thought and of expression thereof, within the limits of courtesy and consideration for others. Freedom of the Society The Theosophical Society, while cooperating with all other bodies whose aims and activities make such cooperation possible, is and must remain an organization entirely independent of them, not committed to any objects save its own, and intent on developing its own work on the broadest and most inclusive lines, so as to move towards its own goal as indicated in and by the pursuit of those objects and that Divine Wisdom which in the abstract is implicit in the title ‘The Theosophical Society’.

    Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi Volume II 23rd August, 1936 Talk 240. D.: The world is materialistic. What is the remedy for it? M.: Materialistic or spiritual, it is according to your outlook. Drishtim jnanamayim kritva, Brahma mayam pasyet jagat Make your outlook right. The Creator knows how to take care of His Creation. D.: What is the best thing to do for ensuring the future? M.: Take care of the present, the future will take care of itself. D.: The future is the result of the present. So, what should I do to make it good? Or should I keep still? M.: Whose is the doubt? Who is it that wants a course of action? Find the doubter. If you hold the doubter the doubts will disappear. Having lost hold of the Self the thoughts afflict you; the world is seen, doubts arise, also anxiety for the future. Hold fast to the Self, these will disappear. D.: How to do it? M.: This question is relevant to matters of non-self, but not to the Self. Do you doubt the existence of your own Self? D.: No. But still, I want to know how the Self could be realised. Is there any method leading to it? M.: Make effort. Just as water is got by boring a well, so also you realise the Self by investigation. D.: Yes. But some find water readily and others with difficulty. M.: But you already see the moisture on the surface. You are hazily aware of the Self. Pursue it. When the effort ceases the Self shines forth.
