It is said that if someone is not able to find a proper Guru for any reason what-so-ever, then such a person can take refuge in   Lord Dakshinamurthy. 

He is one of the forms of Lord Shiva. Keep in mind that there needs to be deep communication, not just by us earnestly asking our questions and seeking answers- but by also truly listening to the Divine answer.

Narmada Jayanti (Wisdom Byte series)

2/7/2022

0 Comments

 
Shukla Paksha Saptami in the Vedic lunar month of Magha is known as Narmada Jayanti.

Devotees pray to the auspicious and divine river Narmada for peace and prosperity.

Narmada is considered as one of the key holy rivers of India. In the Vedic tradition, much spiritual importance is given to rivers in general, and these holy rivers in particular- as water not only sustains life, but with its ability to retain memory, it also helps to carry and maintain records of our karma and messages.

Narmada Jayanti is celebrated with a lot of devotion in Amarkantak (in current day Madhya Pradesh, India), which is considered as the origin-source of this Narmada River.

​Shukla Paksha Ashtami in the Vedic lunar month of Magha is known as Bhishma (Bheeshma) Ashtami.

Grandsire Bhishma from The Maha Bharat (great Indian epic) is believed to have left for his heavenly abode on this day.

After Pandavas won the war and even though he was laying on a bed of arrows, he chose to wait until this day, so that with the advent of spring with Vasant Panchami and the Sun's transit in the northward direction with Ratha Saptami, it would be an auspicious time to let go of his human-incarnation.

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
