It was about famous quote of the year. It was the quote from Mr. Alexander, P.A. of then American President Ronal Regan. He has written- I feel that all of us who live in this world are plaything in the hands of a great destructive power. I think we are under the control of an evil force. Whenever it wants, it can turn the thoughts of all the people in one direction at the same time. It can change the thinking of the people of the world. I feel it is taking the people of the world on a destructive path. What a significant statement. It is the result of churning of his thought. I think he has read the words of Kabir Sahib and if it is not so, I am thankful for his statement that such a Nobel thought has come to him. Sahibji says- Maan Tarang Mey Jagat Bhulana|| The whole world floats on the waves of the Mind, it is under the direction of Mind that all anti Spirit (Anatma) work are being carried out. This is happening because no one could comprehend the networking of Mind. This Mind itself is Kalpurush. This Mind is taking everyone on the destructive path. Not knowing the Mind, all are engaged ignorantly in sinful deeds, mind compel us for such sinful acts. Engaged in devotion to Mind, they move into the mouth of Kalpurush because it does not allow anyone to take up true Bhakti- devotion of Satya Purush (the supreme lord of eternal world). Kalpurush (formless God of this universe), instead engages everyone in the devotion to himself. Akatha Katha Ya Man hi Ki, Kahe Kabir Samuzaay| Jo Jako Samza Parey, Tako Kaal Na Khay|| T h e F orm l e s s M i n d 5 1. FORMLESS MIND! While imparting Adhyatmic knowledge, worldly Sant Mahapurushas says that in this Sansar (Worldly ocean of life), Jivas are bound with the bodily-related Karmas. All the Mahatmas, Rishis, Muni, Peer, Paigambar, Auliya and Human incarnation of Devis and Devtas; they give only the knowledge on duty of action and its consequences (pleasure or pain to the Body). Due to ignorance they all say that Atma-Spirit is traped in the birth & death cycle and entangled in bondage.None of them gives the Adhyatmic- Spiritual Wisdom that Niranjan-Mind keeps all in Ignorance and under bondage. The one who gives the pleasure of Heaven-Vaikunth, Jannat, and the pain of Hell is the Lord of the three worlds Niranjan, the formless Mind. The one, who gives all kinds of fears and illusions, engages in action, and rewards its fruit is none other than the formless Mind. Mind imprisons the spark of Parampurush, the eternal Hansa-Atma and with the power of Atma, it does all Karmas (In this three worlds of Maya, Atma is the fundamental source of all abilities but it is in the control of Mind). Nirakar Mind-Kalpurush is the immortal son of Parampurush by his eternal word (Shabda Putra). However, after obtaining boon from the Parampurush, he created this three worlds, he created lives of pain and pleasure, deceptively and fraudulently against the wishes of Parampurush and becomes its Lord. By misusing the boon and by deception,including Adya Shakti he subjugate each & every Soul and with her assistance he created the three worlds of life and imprison the Soul. They(Niranjan & Adya Shakti) made Jivas out of Hans-Atmas and put them in the wombs of 84 lakhs of life forms and engaged them in the repeated Birth and death. It is for this reason; Parampurush (the Supreme Lord) cursed Niranjan saying that he will never return to Amarlok. Niranjan as Mind has 6 | S a h i b B a n d g i bound the Atmas in the bodies of life forms and entangled in pleasures and Karmas, so that, the Jivas were unable to realize their own identity & remain ignorant. There are no curses on the Hansas, they are entitled to return to Amarlok and have right to salvation. Atma on its own cannot free itself from the Mind. It is only a Satguru, who has the power to show its identity and free them from the clutches of Kalpurush, the Mind. Adi Shakti as a embodiment of Maya remains with Niranjan, the Mind as Ardhangini (one half of body). Jointly, they never let the Hansas free. Atma attains awareness of this ignorance on surrendering and receiving Naam at the feet of Satguru. In all these three worlds, Alakh Niranjan is the ruler. Alakh Niranjan with his trinity sons; Brahma who creates, Vishnu who sustains and Shiva who destroy, never let Jivas free from Maya. As a Mind, as per his desires engages all Jivas in action and he also acts as a dispenser of fruits of action. With repeated creation and dissolution, by creating Satyug, Tretayug, Dwaparyug and Kaliyug, and as Mind indulges Jivas in enjoyment, action and devotion. In the Bhakti- devotion, he remains as a goal of attainment. Kabir Sahib has given the description of the world of Alakh Niranjan in his words of wisdom ('Gyan Gudri')- Alakh purush as Mind, very cleverly, bound the Atma in the 84 lakhs of life forms. The bodies of the 84-lakh life forms are made with the five elements and three gunas (Characteristics). The benefactor of boon from Parampurush, Kalniranjan has mixed the body with Jiv (Life), Brahm (delusion), and Maya (illusion). Taking the Atma into the body, in the form of Surti –concentration (On senses) as thread and Nirati-vibration (Breathin-Prana) as a needle and with it, made a cap of intellect (Brain) and linked to the wisdom (Gyan). In the container of body, he has loaded with Kam (desire), Krodh (anger), Lobh (greed), Moh (attachment), Mada (pride) and Maathsarya (envy) and 25 properties and stitched them together. Sahib said the T h e F orm l e s s M i n d 7 Sants have to observe into the structure of body and its arrangement very minutely. Sun and Moon are in the form of eyes are present in the body. See with the grace of Satguru, look into the body, discriminate be alert and do not let it stain. Avoid slothfulness. Those who enquire on the field of Body will only meet its creator Niranjan. With a Heart in the form of Shoulder bag, with a footwear of forgiveness, with a walking stick of perseverance, with unbreakable nerve of devotion and with Surti of rememberance, walk in and drink the nectar of Satya Bhakti (True devotion). This way, destroying the agressive Kal-The Mind, you will be free from Affections and Attachments. When Satguru bestows the Alive Holy Naam, he binds the world with a chain. The disciple being free reaches the 11th door. Disciple becomes free from the five elements, Attachment, Sacrifices, Detachment and Tilak-Decoration, etc. Meeting a Satguru, Mind becomes helpful like a flintstone and you can realise fundamental creative fire (Mool Brahma Agni). Sahib asks us to clean (the body) the beggar's bedding and the stains of misjudgment with the soap of good discrimination. Sahibji says, "With a easy posture (aasan) and with the sound of patience, meditate on the seat of truth (Eighth Chakra). Satguru giving the strength of patience and the power of meditation leads the concentration from the Nabhi-centre. Taking the body as a mansion of righteousness and making a garland of Spiritual discrimination (Vivek) and as an embodiment of eternal compassion, engage in the service of Jivas. Keeping the Mind like a caged animal, make your body like Vaishakhi (a joyful occasion for all on harvest of crop, full moon day- in the month of Vaishakh-February). End the power of Mind and bring it under your compassion.

Our audio begins with an overview, followed by an audio description. NARRATOR: This 10th Century stone sculpture features an image of the Buddha rendered in exquisite detail. The array of heart-shaped leaves and branches at the top of the object represent the Bodhi Tree, under which the Buddha-to-be sits in meditation on the threshold of enlightenment. The sculptor imbued this Buddha-image with both humanity—using details like the softly rounded belly—and spirituality. There are many signs pointing to the Buddha-to-be’s special qualities. Curator Forrest McGill. FORREST MCGILL: He has a lump on the top of his head and that symbolizes his extra insight. And then on the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet, he has special symbols and both are marks of a special kind of a being who’s more advanced, more powerful, than a regular human being.

  • Durga Kills the Buffalo Demon the God Brahma Granted a Boon To
    Marsha K. Russell Introduction to Indian Art St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, Austin, TX Durga Kills the Buffalo Demon The god Brahma granted a boon to Mahishasura, the buffalo demon, that no male could kill him. Thinking he was invincible, Mahisha led his demon army in a great battle with the gods and defeated them. Indra and the other gods ran to Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu and told them about the tumultuous battle and their defeat by the demons. From the anger of the gods a great energy emerged and took shape as the beautiful Goddess, Durga. All the gods gave her their weapons; the mountain god gave her a lion for her vehicle. Durga is therefore more powerful than all the gods together. The gods reminded her that they are male and cannot defeat the terrible Mahisha, and asked her to conquer the buffalo demon. She agreed, and the gods shout and cheer in anticipation of victory. Mahisha heard the clamoring of the gods and sent his troops to investigate. They returned to tell the king of the demons about the magnificently beautiful and alluring Goddess they saw riding a lion. Enticed by their description, Mahisha asked Durga to marry him, but she refused him. The angry Mahisha then sent his troops to battle Durga’s army. The Goddess’s army defeated the demon troops, so Mahisha and Durga were left alone on the battlefield. Mahisha ran to kill the Goddess’s lion. Enraged, Durga threw her noose over the demon, but Mahisha had the ability to change his shape at will.

They don't care about all these things while the Saint is alive; but when the Saints leave this world, their incredible power and their teachings which change the lives of many people impress the people of the world, and only then-when the Saint is gone-do the people of the world start thinking about them and devoting themselves to them. So that is why, according to the understanding of the people, stories are told about the Saints. It is very difficult to find out much about the Mahatmas of the past-their birth, their place of birth, their parents, their early life, etc.

    11. The Story of Creation I. In the Beginning QUESTION ABOUT THE CREATION Dharam Das said: Now, my Lord, tell me where the Plane of Immortality is. Describe all the planes to me-and make me, the thirsty one, drink the Nectar. Where does the soul live and where is the residence of Sat Purush? What does the soul eat there and where does this Sound come from? How did Sat Purush create the planes, and why did He desire to create them? Tell me about the creation of the three worlds-describe everything to me and hide nothing from me. How was Kal Niranjan born and how were the sixteen sons born? How were the four kinds of created beings spread and how were the souls thrown in the hands of Kal? How were Kurma and Shesh Nag born, and how were Matsya and Varah incarnated? How were the three gods born and how was the starry sphere cre- ated? How was this body created? 0 Lord, tell me the Story of Creation, So that all my doubts may go away, and my mind may become content. HYMN 0 Satguru, graciously tell this servant of Yours the Story of Crea- tion. 1. IN THE BEGINNING 19 Throw light on me with the nectar of Your words so that the fear of Yama may be destroyed. Understanding me as Your slave, tell me every single thing and describe it. 0 Satguru, I am convinced that what You tell me will be true! COUPLET Your words are true and very dear to me.

Abstract Aghoreshwar Mahaprabhu Baba Bhagawan Ram Ji, a well-established saint of the holy city of Varanasi in north India, initiated many changes into the erstwhile Aghor tradition of ascetics in India. This tradition is regarded as an ancient system of spiritual or mystical knowledge by its practitioners and at least some of the practices followed in this tradition can certainly be traced back at least to the time of the Buddha. Over the course of the centuries practitioners of this tradition have interacted with groups of other mystical traditions, exchanging ideas and practices so that both parties in the exchange appear to have been influenced by the other. Naturally, such an interaction between groups can lead to difficulty in determining a clear course of development of the tradition. In this dissertation I bring together micro-history, hagiography, folklore, religious and comparative studies together in an attempt to understand how this modern day religious-spiritual tradition has been shaped by the past and the role religion has to play in modern life, if only with reference to a single case study.
