What are Maha Vaakyas?

Categories: Ancient Wisdom and Meditation

In the Vedic texts, we have what are called “Maha Vaakya”. Maha means great and Vaakya means statement. So, literally it means great statement. What they hold are simple phrases which have great wisdom within them.

These "Maha Vaakyas" hold true since time immemorial. If we were to consider this from a more modern perspective, then we could think of them as aphorisms which have amazing wisdom- that are expressed in a few simple words.

These Maha Vaakyas s are considered so powerful and potent that it is said that one could merely meditate on the wisdom of these sentences and attain deeper spiritual understanding on the inner workings of oneself and ultimately understand the workings of the entire universe- the cosmos!!
There are many such Maha Vaakyas, one such famous one being- Aham Brahmasmi. This concept of Maha Vaakyas is not limited to the Vedic era- there are many modern-day aphorisms which have deeper meaning such as “As above, So below”.
​ 
Any spiritual aspirant should really endeavor to meditate and reflect on these powerful statements. This will allow them a deeper understanding of the mysteries of life and the ways of the Divine.

Living our life from "Our Center"- conducting our life as a "living meditation"

We tend to think of fortune as a wheel. We also tend to think of time as a wheel. The reason being, we are all very familiar with the cyclical nature of time and aware of its ups and downs. But, what we do not realize is that though various part of the wheel goes up or down as the wheel moves, the center of the wheel is always stationary.

​It moves from one place to the other- BUT does not experience the “up-s and down-s” and does not feel the turbulence that the rest of the wheel experiences.
Though negative turbulence seems to create imbalance, strongly positive situations can also many a times make us feel imbalanced.

Have you noticed how winning an award or praise can make you re-live that in your memory and then ‘puff you up” with pride. And while you are feeling prideful, your attention gets diverted and instead of focusing on the task that brought you recognition in the first place, you tend to overlook some crucial aspect and then fall from grace!

Center yourself and live your life from this center. The word meditation comes from ‘medi’ which means center.  When we live life from our center, we are constantly in meditation- even while being fully active and conducting various tasks.

This is what Yoga is all about.

​It is not just simply twisting and turning your body into impossible shapes but to center yourself in such a way that you can be doing the most mundane or profound thing in your life, but you feel centered and while you are conducting your day as a “living meditation”, you feel truly alive and connected not just with your surrounding but with all of nature and all of life itself. 

Then you experience Yoga. Yoga is not about doing something, it is about a way of being- being in union. Unison with all and everything.

    Our Journey to "Oneness" 

    It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments. 

    But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

    Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...
     
    ​What else will you find here??

    Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and  insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you. 


    These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism. 

    It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

    Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to  a "real  life" level!!

    Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who  have families,  careers,  material goals & ambitions  and so on... the ones  who cannot simply extrapolate what  typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.  


    Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time. 

    Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.   
    ​

    Do let me know of your experiences.

    I would love to read about them and promise to respond as much as possible.
