What is an Oracle of Krishna? (Oracle & Divination series)

3/1/2021

0 Comments

 
The Bhagavad Gita shlokas are time immemorial!! The Bhagavad Gita, which is also called as the Song Divine is an extremely special Vedic (Hindu) spiritual text as it is a direct teaching by one of the cosmic avatars- Lord Krishna. 
​
The Bhagavad Gita can be queried like an oracle to obtain answers for pressing questions. I.e. we can “divine” the meaning of situations and make predictive forecasts and/or indicate energies that surround a given situation.   
Picture
The received answer, which is a shloka (or verse) from the text, can be guiding or predictive, depending on the question and deciphering ability of the person asking that question. 

Way to access the oracle:
Ask your question and ask Lord Krishna for guidance, then open The Bhagavad Gita and see which shloka on the page facing you, ‘calls’ to you. Then read the details of that shloka. It will provide you immediate guidance or directive for your question or situation.

Next, reflect on the above shloka and see what specific meanings come up for you. What are some interpretations that resonate with you. Reflect on how you can extrapolate the meaning and utilize its added guidance for your current life situation.

What is a Flower Oracle? (Oracle & Divination series)

2/23/2021

0 Comments

 
Flowers have been used since time immemorial to convey emotions and feelings. There are different flowers for each occasion. 
​
In fact, during Victorian times, there was a fully developed ‘language of flowers’ which was used to convey secret messages. Also, as we know, in the Vedic tradition, specific flowers are offered to a particular deity or during a specific prayer offering.

​So, basically there have always been specific meanings associated with the Flowers. 
Picture
In addition, flowers have also been utilized for a long time as an Oracle- i.e. as a way to tap into one’s own psyche for spiritual evolution and also as a divination tool.

Option 1:
You could ask a question and then see which flower comes to you in your mind’s eye as an answer for your question.

Option 2:
The other option is to write a name of a flower on an index card and then shuffle these bunch of cards. You could then ask a question and then pick out a card which ‘feels’ right for you.
 
Then you can look up the meaning associated with the flower you received as bearing the answer to your question.

You can check the Flower Messages category for description of several flowers that are typically used in Flower Divination.

​As we all know, crystals are believed to have many healing and beneficial energies. They have been used for beauty and healing since time immemorial.

​You can absorb the beneficial energies of crystals in many ways- typical uses are to have them around you in your immediate space like on your work desk or as a room décor-piece. You can even wear them as jewelry.

One of the simple ways to imbibe the wonderful crystal energy is to simply hold some of the smaller crystals in your hand and feel deeply to absorb their beneficial energies. 

Crystals have also been utilized for a long time as a divination tool. One can ask a question while holding a pouch of crystals and then pick out the one which feels ‘right' and interpret the answer.

Spiritual Significance of Pine Trees (Nature Message series)

2/2/2021

0 Comments

 
Pine trees have varied cultural signification in different parts of the world. Mention of these trees have been found in the bible and other ancient texts, reinforcing their symbolic importance throughout various cultural and religious beliefs. 
​
The lush evergreen pine trees are known to last even through the icy cold temperatures. They produce pinecones which in turn produce the pine nuts which provide a variety of nutrition and is part of many staple recipes of ancient traditions. Do note that the spiritual significance for Pine Trees, is different than for the Pinecones.
Picture
So, coming back to pine trees, we find that in some cultures like the Native American cultures, pine trees represent wisdom and longevity. In some of the other cultures, they represent fertility and life. Pine trees are also known as the symbol of peace and of eternal love. 

The fresh pine scent is known to invigorate us and simply hugging or being in the vicinity of a pine tree or walking thru a pine forest, is believed to increase our intake of prana (or Chi, Ki) life-force energy.
​
One of the famous Pagan tradition, where people used to decorate the pine or fir trees with decorations to celebrate the birth of the Norse God- Frey, at the end of the year, is incorporated in the modern-day celebration of Christmas; where we typically decorate the pine or fir trees to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
So, if you receive the pine tree as a message from nature, then it indicates that you are getting ready for new starts. New meetings and relationships will be fruitful. Whatever you start now or any new relationships you now develop (or revive existing relationships), then they will have a sense of permanence to them.

Good health, strong vitality, and the ability to regenerate oneself and work one’s way through tough times and emerge a winner are all signified by the evergreen pine trees.

Eternal love and overall goodness are promised when one receives pine tree as a nature message.

Spiritual significance of the Pomegranate fruit and tree (Nature Message series)

1/28/2021

0 Comments

 
Pomegranate has been associated with spiritual significance and natural messages since biblical times... probably from even before that!! The lush pinkish-red insides of the fruit compare very well with blood- that which carries the very life-force (Prana, Chi or Ki) in our body.

​Blood has been associated with power and sacrifice since time immemorial and so it is not very surprising that pomegranate, a fruit that resembles the color of blood and also the inner cells of our body- with its unique inner construction- has many spiritual and esoteric associations!
Picture
Pomegranate is one of the healthiest fruits that one can eat. In addition, it has many powerful antioxidants as well as the required necessary nutrients and hormones to improve sperm quality and libido.  In this regard, the pomegranate fruit works as a potent aphrodisiac! 

Not to mention the lush and colorful insides of the pomegranate fruit, which are filled with multitude of individual seeds- reminds one of the abilities of ‘a seed’ to re-grow and re-generate. Throughout several olden cultures, pomegranate has been associated with fertility, eternal life, and love. It is also believed to indicate resurrection- i.e., rejuvenation of life (after death).
​
Because of this, the pomegranate fruit has long been associated with richness and fertility.  In addition, given the many health benefits of the pomegranate fruit, it signifies overall good health and vitality. 

So, if you receive the pomegranate fruit or the pomegranate tree as a message from nature, then they indicate love, romance, good health, and wealth- the entire complete package of happiness and wellbeing.

Florigraphy- The language of Flowers was understood even during the medieval times

8/19/2020

0 Comments

 
​Floriography is the language of flowers, which was an Victorian-era means of communication.

In this, various flowers and floral arrangements were used to send coded messages, allowing individuals to express feelings which otherwise could not be spoken. The language was most commonly communicated through Tussie-Mussies, an art which has a following to this day.
Even though the nuances of the language are now mostly forgotten, red roses still imply passionate, romantic love and pink roses a lesser affection. Similarly white roses suggest virtue and chastity and yellow roses still stand for friendship or devotion.

Also some of the other commonly known meanings for flowers are sunflowers, which can indicate either haughtiness or respect and Gerbera (Daisy) can mean innocence or purity. The iris, being named for the messenger of the gods in Greek mythology, still represents the sending of a message. A pansy can signify thought, daffodil signifies regard, and a strand of ivy signifies fidelity.
Picture
​In this way, communicating messages by using flowers was something that was frequently done during medieval times.

Now, do keep in mind that   Florigraphy is a special interpretation of what messages a particular flower should communicate. These do not necessarily have a direct co-relation with how flowers can be used to communicate natural-energy messages. Flower Divination is an entirely different approach to understanding and interpreting Nature-Wisdom (i.e. messages from the natural world).

How flowers are used in oracle wisdom... their divination-interpretation is completely different from Victorian Florigraphy and is something that has been practiced by many ancient cultures since time immemorial!!

Charting our own life-path: how various oracles and intuitive divination methods can help us lead a successful life

7/9/2020

Categories: Comfortable Living, Conscious Living, Nature Guidance, and Oracle And Divination

Even though we are on a spiritual path, most of us still have everyday jobs and duties. Unless you are living the life of a monk in a monastery, you probably are someone, who needs to earn an income and take care of your family.

​Folks like us, who live an everyday life have to also interact not just with friends and family- but also with many other people in the outside world, who may be living successful lives but could be unaware of their connected-ness to others and this cosmos!
 
This is exactly the reason, why I provide several helpful information that can help us in living comfortably! If you have not still seen our videos or read our articles on Comfort & Spiritual Living, then be sure to check them out.

Charting our own life-path: how various oracles and intuitive divination methods can help us lead a successful life
As we know, all days are not the same. Certain days just seem to go smooth where things seem to flow in a nice manner and then there are other days where getting even the simplest thing done seems like a big achievement! 

Intuitively derived energy readings can help us to understand- what kind of energies are most probable for the day. 

The best time to utilize an Intuitive Guidance is when you need to understand "more" about a situation- for e.g. you are scheduled to attend an interview. In this case, an intuitive guidance can help you to understand more about the situation. How can you create a better impression or is there something that you need to do, so as to ensure a higher chance of success.

​Intuitive guidance can sometimes also give an indication to the outcome of the interview (i.e. if you will receive an offer /not), but it is not advisable to know that in advance, since then you will not do your best but your actions will be clouded by your knowledge of the outcome- if it is positive, you may take things for granted and thus invite failure and if  it is negative, then you may lose hope and not put your  hundred percent effort and turn around a losing situation to  a successful one.
​As people who are on the path of Conscious Living (i.e. those who choose to lead an aware and meaningful life)- we should not believe in some ‘destiny’ and succumb to fate but believe in taking appropriate action in accordance to the situation and energies surrounding it.   

After all, we live in a dynamic and living Universe, which responds to our actions and accordingly brings situations and transformations in our life!

The more you are living a conscious and evolved life, that much more, you will be able to govern how your life and life events unfold.
​
So now the question comes up, how do we ‘divine’ about any situation or event in our life? Stay tuned… I will cover that shortly in the coming posts…

    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.
