Ma Kali- The First Mahavidya (Wisdom Byte series)

10/20/2021

The word Kali indicates time, which Ma Kali represents as the very first of the ten wisdom goddesses (Dasha Mahavidyas), what needs to be understood is that Kali also means “that which is carefully measured out”.

Any work of creation is accomplished by the conglomeration of carefully measured out smaller bits (of work, of efforts, of actions and so on) and this is what Ma Kali represents.

Thank this Rishi for Umbrella and Sandals... (Wisdom Byte series)

6/13/2021

According to legend Rishi Jamadagni was once very angry with the Surya dev (Sun god) for making excessive heat. As the rishi was also a warrior, he shot several arrows into the sky! This scared and terrified the Sun god and he appeared before the sage asking for blessings and forgiveness. The Sun god offered two items which would help mankind to deal with his immense heat.

One of the items was sandals or footwear and the other was an umbrella. Both of these items help us to protect ourselves from the harshness of the weather and the extreme heat of the sun.

Vedic Wisdom

Categories

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.
