If sins are the diseases, then how can we cure them?

In this blog, in a post - "what is hell?", we saw what are diseases.

If diseases are due to the sins, then what are the remedies told in puranas and are they relate to the diseases?

Following are the 3 remdies told in puranas -

1. Theertha yatra - Going to different temples which have water body near by. When we travel to the temple hoping for the best, the mind gets focused and we breath fresh air. When we take bath i the water body, the body heat is reduced. (as per sidha, body heat is the reason for 70% of the diseases). We go to the temple and pray, so the mind is more focused. Walking around the temple gives accupressure treatment to the foot.

2. Fasting - Not eating anything for a day and pray. So mind is focused and the internal organs are cleared. Regular fasting creates a cycle of cleaning the system.

3. Dhaana dharma - Means charity. When we start giving things or money, the mind feels good about ourselves. Even the people who get those things might bless us. Also we see people in lower level of society might make us feel better about our problems. etc.

So the above three can save us from Naraka or cure our diseases.

Accupunture is a Tamil word

 Accupunture is a Tamil word

Accu is a letter in tamil uyirezhuthu or part of vowels. Accu is the last letter after 12 vowels. Uyirezhuthu means letters of life and meyezhuthu means body letters. Uyirmei ezhuthu means combination of life and body letters.

 

Accu has two dots below and one dot at the top. This letter has dots and accupuncture is working with dots. This letter is also called as ayutha ezhuthu (letter of instrument or weapon)

Punchure - punch means five in tamil and sanskrit. i.e. five elements. 

So working with points through instruments  (accu) and 5 elements (punch) is accupunchure. So it is a tamil word.   


Tamil and Accupunchure
12 Life letters & 12 internal organs (lungs and large intestine, heart and small intestine, kidney and urinary bladder, liver and galbladder, stomach and spleen, pericardium and tripple warmer)
1 Instrument letter with 3 dots & working with needles on dots
5 Elements (wood, fire, metal, water, earth)

Five Elements

Wood - space and Metal - Air. If we look at the Indian Yogic system (chakras) , the colors vary a bit. Air-Blue, Water-Green, Wood-colorless, Fire-Yellow, Earth-Red. 

Why the screens attract us a lot and why our words are very powerful?

The Mind

Input: The mind works with the input of 5 senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body). Out of these the eyes and ears are at the top. So what we see and hear make a major input to the mind. That is why media has so much impact on the society.

Output - The 5 output from every human being are- (words, hands, legs, anal hole, urinary hole). Out of these the top most output organ in our body is mouth/tongue and so the words are very powerful. That is why we are unable to forget the words of others.

So we need to watch our eyes and ears to take care of our input and watch our words to take care of our output. May be it conveys the same message of Gandhiji's monkeys.

In the same way, we cannot control the input and output of the people with us and we cannot hold on to their output, it could be because of a wrong input ot them. Inputs and outputs keep changing and so the people. 

Like water the life is flowing and the inputs and outputs of people are also flowing/changing. Means people are changing. We cannot live like rocks.

Without changing the inputs output cannot be changed. 
For example, kids are watching violent cartoons and they behave violently with the relatives & friends. Without preventing them from watching the violent cartoons, we cannot expect them to change.

JaiGurudev!

Learn about you - Self test

Chakras indicate the mindset in us. In other words some qualities in us. The negative ones push us down towards the red and the positive ones pull us up towards the white.

These do have colors and indicate the emotions also. Please do not feel bad if you have negative qualities. These are due to some blocks. We can do "Hari Ohm" or chakra meditation (in Art Of Living) and clear the blocks.

To know more about this -

Sathva is the Guna which leads to bliss. Rajo (active) and Thamo (dullness) can never lead to bliss. Ananda or bliss or being one with the soul/athma is the ultimate goal of life. Let us see where we stand.

JaiGurudev!

Dev and Devil

Dev means God and Devil- Dev+il = Without God (il - in Tamil means no or without)
People keep saying that they worship divine, but unfortunately they are worshiping the devil.
We will see how - From olden days few birds and few animals were considered divine.
For example - 
Animals -

1. Horse, even though it is a pure vegetarian animal. It can run faster than any other animal. Also it was grace and majestic. Very helpful to man till today.
2. Elephant, In spite of being a vegetarian, it is very powerful. Helpful to man.
3. Cow - It gives everything of it to be used by the man.

Birds -

1. Eagle/Garudan  - Many unique qualities of it has made it divine. Wild and peaceful forms of Garuda shown above.
2. Peacock - For it's beauty etc. 
3. Parrot - For it's innocence and talking ability etc.

In the same way mostly the insects were considered the lowest form of life. Also few birds and animals for some of their qualities considered evil.

1. Bat - It eats and shits though the same hole.
2. Black Cat - They are coward, but get their work done.
5. Owl - Since it is awake at the time when the devils are awake.

Dog - It can be there at the entrance of the house, but should never be allowed inside the house. Because chandala will get in the house. It does have sex in open place and it is too much interested with its territory etc.
 


It is really to be wondered, why people worship the devils???

Batman, spiderman instead of Hanuman.
Especially all the cartoons which are watched by the kids are full of devils only. 
We need to really think where are we going.About which we think too much, we get those qualities. So if we think about such low level animals, we will get their qualities.

JaiGurudev!

Why the body has to be burnt? what happens after death?

Why the body has to be burnt?

In recent researches in America have proven that the people living near by to the graveyard get very strange diseases due to the contaminated ground water by the buried bodies. From the buried bodies, the worms etc get into the ground water and that water goes to the houses in the nearby area. So the people in the surrounding area get diseases, sometimes incurable. So it is proven that burning is better than burying. 

Life after death is a mystery. But Hindu mythology has a very clear scientific explanation about this. Before that a brief overview on pancha bhuthas and their effect on the body and mind.

From the land the body has come and with the land it grows. After death goes to the land.

If the mind goes behind the senses, it will pull us down like the water. (Ichcha shakthi)

If the intellect controls the senses, it will keep us up like the fire. (Gnana Shakthi)

Like air our vibration (love or hatred or fear) spreads. (Kriya Shakthi)

The life becomes like an invisible baloon with the karma or impressions imprinted in it.
Heavier the baloon, it stays down and lighter goes up.
The ultimate goal mentioned in Upanishad is to dissolve in sky or space, i.e. no impressions.


We can say Gnana indriya as input and karma indriya as output.  
What we hear comes out as speech.
What we see, guides our legs.
What we do, guides our hands.
What we eat, comes out as shit/malam.
What we smell/Vasana, guides our body.

Beware - 
Today the modern technology (TV, internet and cellphone), ties the top 3 senses. The only output is pressing the remote control/keyboard.

We have no awareness on what we eat and what we do with our body as well.

Below are the steps mentioned as Pancha Agni in Upanishads.

1. The jeevan/life goes to aakasha/sky
2. It gets down to clouds
3. Comes down as part of rain and On the land becomes part of plants
4. Becomes part of the man's body who eats the plants
5. Then through the sperms, becomes part of women as a new life



The above steps happen only if the body is burnt. Because 60% of our body is water.
So when it is burnt the probability of it becomes part of air and going up to the sky is high.
Also, the thing made of pancha bhuthas get mixed with pancha bhuthas properly.
1. Agni - Burning the body
2.  The gas - to the air and space
3. Ashes - To the water and the land

If the body is buried, the body is given to only one bhutha, i.e. land alone.

So the body is eaten by the insects of the land.
The probability of the Jeevan becoming one such life is high.

JaiGurudev!                          

Sai Baba

Sai Baba the saviour
In stead of finding fauls with each other and pointing fingers to each other, we need to see how we can cross this together.

We can pray for our muslim friends to come to the path of Sai Baba. He was the common man for many religions.

1. Saibaba's origin is not known clearly. people say that he is a muslim.
2. He chanted both Bhagavath Gita and Kuran.
3. He did many miracles and does now also.
4. He never earned for himself. Ate only the food given by others. Lead the life of a brahmin as said in Vedas.
5. Shiridi is the place where his body was buried.

Major principles -
1. If you are unable to do yagnas, it is OK, come together and sing or praise the lord on every Thursdays.
2. If you are unable to do homas, it is OK, bring few things, it will be done by me, in my temple. There is a permanent yagna happens there.
3. If you are unable to do charity, it is OK, give food on Thursdays in my temple to all. Give money to the temple.
4. If you are unable to do pujas, it is OK, come here and see the aarathi every day. Like in Churches burn two candles.
5. If you are unable to do service, it is OK, don't harm others and love everybody around.

So Let us all pray and spread his message of love and unity.Jai Sai Ram!

Who is AntiChrist?

 The 6 major sects of Sanadhana dharma as preached by Shankara are -
1. Ganapathyam
2. Koumaram
3. Souram

4. Shaktham
5. Shaivam
6. Vaishnavam

1. Ganapathyam - worship of Ganapathy. Ganesha Purana

2. Koumaram - worship of Kumaran. Skandha purana. Tarakasura mentioned below was killed by Kumara.

3. Souram - worship of suryan or sun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N9qTDFQeVA


The other 3 methods talked more nowadays are Shaivam, Shaktham and Vaishnavam.
And have undergone a lot of misunderstandings.

4. Shaivam - Worship of Shiva.

Shiva is also known as Rudran or one who gets angry easily.
Shiva is also the God of awareness or meditation.
Shiva is also known as the God of destroyer who destroys evil etc. 

Advaitha is accepted by Shaivam.
This can be misunderstood very easily that I am God.
This misunderstanding leads to ego and in-turn asura guna.
That's why Ravana is known as Shiva bhaktha but was a Rakshasa.
  

"Naan kadavul" - I am god
There is a sect in Kaasi called Akori who follow vaamacharam. This left hand practice uses all bad things to achieve some Asura sidhis. 
Killing others, using females, drinks or drugs, fishes and food are used for getting sidhis (anima, mahima etc). 
They do not know that these can never ever go near mukthi or moksha. Poor people to take the wrong path. They have got into wrong path and have spoiled their life and cause lot of problems for others too. One can never become God with such bad methods.

It is pathetic that in Tamil Nadu, this movie was given many awards whereas even in Andhra, "Arundhadhi" movie was widely viewed.
Arundhadhi movie is not dubbed in other languages except the South-Indian four languages, why??? 

We know in many ways the Islam is close to Shaivam.

http://www.harekrsna.com/philosophy/associates/demons/siva/tarakasura.htm
lines to be noted in the above link are -
1. This man’s head was shaven, his clothes were faded and he carried a wooden water-pot in his hands.
2. There is no svarga (heaven) and no naraka (hell) and that both heaven and hell are on earth. You will not believe that rewards and punishments for deeds committed on earth are meted out after death.
3. Their teachings were convincing and they had many converts.
4. The demons gave up revering the Vedas, they stopped worshiping Shiva’s linga.
5. While the celebrations were going on, the shaven-heads religious teachers arrived. What are we supposed to do now? they asked. Brahma and Vishnu told them to go and live in the desert. The last of the four eras was kaliyuga and in kaliyuga, evil would reign supreme. When kaliyuga arrived, they were to come back and begin their teaching afresh.

It talks about the Goddess, Kaali being under the control of Asuras.

Interpretation of 666 to Bismillah.

These sites make us clear that the terror actvities are the nature of asuras 1. Killing others (jihad), 2. Namaz (increasing their energy), 3. Eating non-veg food  4. Controlling females etc.
Their population is exploding like anything in all over the world.  

Friday is the auspicious day of Shukra who is the Guru of Asuras. Shukra knows mritha sanjeevini vidhya to give life to the asuras who were killed.
Tarakasura was killed by Lord Karthikeya/Kumara. So his sons Tripurasuras don't like Kumara. Also they don't like Krishna, because Shukra charya lost his eyes because of him. That is why the chadari is used for the dress of females.




 The six important duties of Brahmins are -
1. Chanting Vedas 2. Teaching it to others & make others to chant vedas
3. Doing yagnas or havans 4. Teaching it to others & make others to do havans
5. Giving dhanams to others 6. Getting dhanams from others
Today none of the brahmins is able to do all these duties except Guruji Sri Sri Ravishankarji.
 

Shaktham is worshiping the feminine nature of everything. The mother in every female to be respected. But unfortunately today the females are exploited to the maximum extend possible.

Vaishnavam is worshiping Vishnu or the lord who protects. Story of Krishna is very close to Christianity. Service or Karma yoga and Sankeerthanam or praising the lord are common in both.

 Purpose of Life:- Dhakshinacharam is the right hand practice of worshiping the divine in the divine way. Those follow it sincerely will be saved by the divine. Not to eat non-veg food is the first principle. Coming over the body consciousness and feeling one as a part of the divine will lead one to mukthi. Mukthi is the aim of life.
