  • 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.

Marcus, Nick, anyone, just help him out, it's too much for one person, just help him, please. Alan, go and tell Bai to bring My handkerchief from My… I've got My pur– No, no, it's all right, it's here, with My purse have you brought it? Yes, it's here. Don't worry, don't worry! Man: Here's Your purse Mother. Shri Mataji: Have the Americans come, those who have done the Puja, have they come? Are they here? Man: Yes. Shri Mataji: Oh, they are here. Then it's all right. And, in these new centers, have you started with Puja anywhere? No, yours [speaks to a specific country/leader, maybe India – ed.] is all right, I'm asking about England.

A man speaks: He's just gone out for now.] Gavin: Any centers in Britain any new people here, right now? Shri Mataji: If you have introduced them to puja I don't mind, but if they have never been introduced to puja then you have to be careful. From their good point of view. I am sorry I had to say this, because yesterday the load was too much, you know I couldn't speak even and, lifting the Kundalini was like raising hundred donkeys on your head, it was too much.

  • Witchcraft, Religious Transformation, and Hindu Nationalism in Rural Central India

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis is an anthropological exploration of the connections between witchcraft, religious transformation, and Hindu nationalism in a village in an Adivasi (or ‘tribal’) area of eastern Maharashtra, India. It argues that the appeal of Hindu nationalism in India today cannot be understood without reference to processes of religious and social transformation that are also taking place at the local level. The thesis demonstrates how changing village composition in terms of caste, together with an increased State presence and particular view of modernity, have led to difficulties in satisfactorily curing attacks of witchcraft and magic. Consequently, many people in the village and wider area have begun to look for lasting solutions to these problems in new ways.

  • Snakes, Sacrifice, and Sacrality in South Asian Religion
    Snakes, Sacrifice, and Sacrality in South Asian Religion Gabriel Jones Abstract: Ritual sacrifice associated with snake veneration is not uniformly expressed. The snake figures prominently in the art and narrative of contemporary Saivism, Vaisnavism, Jainism, and Buddhism in addition to the myriad of popular devotional practices of rural village and peripatetic peoples of India. Drawing on the evidence within the many traditions that have accommodated or rejected the snake as a subject of veneration, this article theorizes its associated sacrifice(s) as a tripartite phenomenon reflecting divergent cultural valuation of the snake across the Indian sub-continent. Introduction Rituals devoted to the propitiation and supplication of the sarpa, as the common snake is called in Sanskrit, as well as the snake’s supernatural counterpart the Naga, have been in evidence on the Indian sub-continent for more than two millennia1. It has been suggested that snake veneration, within the vast corpus of fertility and ancestor cult practices2 permeating the South Asian pre-historic devotional landscape3, are the ritual seeds4 from which medieval iconography and devotional practice evolved5. 1 Laurie Cozad. 2004.

  • Making Waves
    INTRODUCTION MAKING WAVES THOMAS A. FORSTHOEFEL AND CYNTHIA ANN HUMES EVERYTHING CHANGES. Mystics and storytellers in South Asia have woven this deceptively simple observation into the Indic consciousness for millennia. Hindu scriptures warn that the true nature of endlessly changing phenomenal reality can be lost to us as we thrash about the crashing waves of life.Yet the Hindu emphasis on the phenomenal fact of impermanence is tempered by the promise of something substantial, enduring, and utterly liberating beyond the very flux of life, so often likened to a roiling ocean, the “ocean of samsara.”The phenomenal flux of mundane reality, staggering in its chaos and suffering, nonetheless motivates the journey to cross the “far shore,” the quintessential Indian metaphor for lib- eration. Among the premier rafts for this tumultuous crossing is the spiritual teacher, the guru, a term that, not incidentally, also means “heavy.”The word intimates the higher truth that there is something weighty, substantial, and enduring about life, a truth borne witness to by extraordinary spiritual teach- ers. Gurus assist in the journey to make the crossing—from the ocean of sam- sara to the ocean of awareness, from the changing flux of phenomenal reality to the far shore of liberation, from death to immortality.The far shore is the “site” for an ultimate ground that suffers no loss or change, understood vari- ously in Hinduism to be an enduring soul, consciousness, an unchanging Absolute or a deity with form. This book is about gurus who have crossed the far shore, but not necessar- ily to ultimate liberation.

Prabhupada used to call him "Professor Howard Wheeler" even after Hayagriva received his spiritual name. Prabhupada was also very pleased to utilize Hayagriva's literary abilities for spreading Krishna consciousness. It seemed that just when Prabhupada needed him, Krishna supplied a devotee like Hayagriva to begin the editing of Prabhupada's voluminous Bhagavad-gita and SrimadBhagavatam manuscripts. And it was Hayagriva whom Prabhupada made the first co-editor of Back To Godhead magazine in 1966. At first, I envied Hayagriva's literary talents, but Hayagriva gave me a good lesson, for which I am always grateful. Although I was involved in writing even before I met Srila Prabhupada, when I became his disciple, I thought that all writing should be given up. I thought that writing was a manifestation of false ego. I remember one day telling this to Hayagriva Prabhu in the storefront. He just laughed in his loud voice and said that as far as he was concerned, he was going to write for Krishna! At first, I walked away with my own opinion-1 would renounce writing-but Hayagriva's statement began to make good sense.
