Love's Pearls of Wisdom - Mahavatar Babaji

Pharaoh Akhenten
Pharaoh Akhenaten is especially noted for abandoning traditional Egyptian polytheism and introducing worship centered on the Aten, which is monotheistic (One God). An early inscription likens Akhenaten to the sun as compared to stars, and later official language avoids calling the Aten a god, giving the solar deity a status above mere gods. (Our Sun is a star.)

Love's Pearls of Wisdom

by Mahavatar Babaji

Pharaoh Akhenaten of Egypt was one sent from The Divine from the Stars above you. He reinstated the ‘Oneness of God with His Creation’ into the Planetary Consciousness and Worldview. Likewise, in your time, Sri Swami Vishwananda was sent from the realms of Maha Narayana Lakshmi. He travels the world teaching you this same ‘Divine Principle of Oneness’ that Pharaoh Akhenaten taught in his time – Just Love! Hear Him, and hear also the Saints of the past. The Saints are with you within the Heart of everyman, everywhere. Take advantage of the Spiritual Energy which has accumulated on your planet in the Relics left by these Saints of God whenever you are presented with the opportunity. It is time.

NARAYANA

THIS IS BHAKTI
By Swami Vishwananda

Isn’t it beautiful to sing the name of Narayana?
Let yourself be drawn into it.
Such is the greatness of the name of God,
Whoever is singing with an open heart, whoever
is singing the name of God with faith, will be
pulled more inside of it.

See, the more you go into it, the more you lose
yourself in this Divine name.
The identity of being human disappears.
Then what stays is only the Divine
and that is what you really are.
If we remove the body, who are you?
The soul, isn’t it?

Meaning of Gayatri Mantra

Swami Vishwananda
Is celebrating Gayatri
this weekend July 24, 25, 26 at
ShRee Peetha Nilaya

GAYATRI MANTRA - ITS MEANING

AUM BHOOR BHUWAH SWAHA,
TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM
BHARGO DEVASAYA DHEEMAHI
DHIYO YO NAHA PRACHODAYAT.

Summary of the Gayatri Mantra

Gayatri Mantra (the mother of the vedas), the foremost mantra in hinduism and hindu beliefs, inspires wisdom. Its meaning is that "May the Almighty God illuminate our intellect to lead us along the righteous path". The mantra is also a prayer to the "giver of light and life" - the sun (savitur).

Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life,
Remover of pain and sorrow,
The Bestower of happiness,
Oh! Creator of the Universe,
May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light,
May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction./

Gayatri, the five-faced Goddess, has domain over the five senses or pranas, and protects these five life-forces of those who chant the Gayatri Mantra. In her role as the protector, Gayatri is referred to as Savitri.

Word for Word Meaning of the Gayatri Mantra

Aum = Brahma ;
bhoor = embodiment of vital spiritual energy(pran) ;
bhuwah = destroyer of sufferings ;
swaha = embodiment of happiness ;
tat = that ;
savitur = bright like sun ;
varenyam = best choicest ;
bhargo = destroyer of sins ;
devasya = divine ;
these first nine words describe the glory of God
dheemahi = may imbibe ; pertains to meditation
dhiyo = intellect ;
yo = who ;
naha = our ;
prachodayat = may inspire!
"dhiyo yo na prachodayat" is a prayer to God

Hence the Gayatri is unique in that it embodies the three concepts of stotra (singing the praise and glory of God), dhyaana (meditation) and praarthana (prayer).

The prayer form of the Gayatri be used to pray to Lord Shiva is called Rudra Gayatri. Similarly, one may sing Ganesha Gayatri for Lord Ganesha, Hanuman Gayatri for Lord Hanuman, and Saraswati Gayatri for Goddess Saraswati.

Love's Pearls of Wisdom - Mahavatar Babaji

Fantastic is the rising sun. Wonderful is a Himalayan cascading, rainbow waterfall tumbling into the Sacred Ganges far below. Beautiful is the Human Heart wandering through time but existing forever in the Eternal Heart of the Divine. Loveliness of a Human Face makes the Heart sing in the very young at Heart. Time is an adversary of this same lovely face. The Divine is the most beautiful, the everlasting enchantment of the Heart of Man. Remember this when you enjoy the delights of Earth the Divine has provided for you, His children. Mature into Oneness with the All. It is time.

Mahavatar Babaji

Behind All Our Action is God's Grace

Behind all our actions, behind all that is happening, there is God's Grace. And if we start seeing it in this way, we will be very happy.

Swami Vishwananda

People Show the Face of their Own Within to You

Letter From Mahavatar Babaji:
“Shame on you”, people sometimes say. Shame embodies humiliation, embarrassment, indignity, infamy and dishonor. My friends the mistaken identity heaped upon you by others is their own within, which is showing its face to you. Do you see? You cannot be shamed about anything others perceive in you as they say, “Shame on you,” unless you “own” it from within yourself. Be free of others’ criticism and infamy. Words like these are poison to the mind and emotions. Why do we take on others' criticism and own it for ourselves? This happens when we feel separation from the Divine and our separation from the person who is criticizing us.

In these situations of life what is one to do to free one’s self from these negative thoughts and feelings? Love is the answer. Love yourself, love the person criticizing you and realize your oneness with this person and with the Divine, the All. Love the quality within this one, who is criticizing as your very own self and with love forgiveness comes for the other person and yourself. Offer criticism, shame, and infamy to the Lord. He will happily take it and transform it into Love. Be loving always and with everyone, and in time, liberation will come to you through the Grace of the Divine.

I am Babaji and there are some who read this blog, who today feel shame. I am here. Remember to “Just Love,” as your Teacher reminds you often. He says this with the Divine Love that your Master portrays and radiates with every smile, every Darshan and every spiritual event that he so graciously plans for you. Be Love, for that is your nature, in essence.

JUST LOVE: Mahavatar Babaji & Sri Swami Vishwananda

Kriya Masters Assist Practitioners From Darkness Into Light

What Kriya Practice Can Do for You and the Earth
By Mahavatar Babaji

In the beginning was the word; the word OM. From the sound OM, all creation came into being as the Divine willed. From OM came Light and from Light came the material manifestation of the cosmos as you know and view it.

Your physical bodies contain a Light Body which man does not ordinarily see, or is even aware that it exists most of his waking life. I speak about this in my book that Utpalavati [Jean Peterson] and Jagadish [George Tsatsos] have released this week. You can read more about this Light-Body, this Love-Light in this book in the near future*. Many of your nightly excursions in the Light Body happen when you are sleeping. Some of these, man remembers in those dream-like experiences which seem more real than waking life.

This God-given Light Body is who you are in essence. When one does Atma Kriya or any of the types of Kriya, the Light Body becomes activated in such a way that it keys into, or connects into, the light system of rays of light which are everywhere in and around the Earth and throughout all creation. This is commonly called "the Earth Grid." Everything is energy in essence and energy never disappears or is annihilated. Therefore, when one is committedly doing his Kriya, one is connected into this grid of Light which is Creation, Itself. Everything and everyone is connected through this Love, this Love-Light.

The darkness that is the Kali Yuga in which you are in the stages of completion, although it may not seem so to many, obscures this One Light similar to a veil on a woman's face. Everyone glimpses this light from time to time. Atma Kriya, with practice and commitment and with the assistance of the Master's energy and Love-Light, assists one to connect into and become one with this Creative Light which is the Oneness of Creation. When one is in attunement with a Master, one is connected into this Love-Light. It is a natural process of God's Will. This attunement happens, and one may feel and experience it with Swami Vishwananda and myself during Atma Kriya practice. Together, we are committed to the souls of the ones who practice Atma Kriya and our energy is freely available to one and all.

During Kriya, much healing of humanity and the person practicing Kriya takes place and the wholeness is once again realized, the Oneness. You may picture Kriya like a circle that encompasses all creation, no beginning and no end—One. It is an illusion that man had made that he is disconnected from the Oneness; it is simply obscured from him through centuries of incarnations born into the darkness wherein man has not allowed the Light to penetrate to the degree of Oneness. Light and dark exist simultaneously, and whether one perceives light or dark, depends upon where one places his focus, his Love-Light, his true nature within his heart. Light and Dark are both God, for The Divine is Everything and in reality there is no separation. Separation is an illusion. In the Oneness everything exists and it is one's focus that creates his experience. The mind of man has the free will to choose darkness or light, or any or all of the opposites of duality that exist on Earth and in a human-mind-body.

Through Kriya practice, one becomes a Light Station or like the Light in a Lighthouse which sailors can see the light on the darkest night. In contemporary times instruments have been designed which tell the captain of the ship where he is located and shows him any obstacles that may lie ahead in the path of his ship. Atma Kriya goes beyond even the light in the Lighthouse window and a ship’s instruments capabilities. Kriya practice connects one into the Greatness of the Oneness, The Divine Itself. As Swami Vishwananda often asks his students in Satsang, "What do you have when you have God?" The answer is always: Everything!" This is so! Kriya assists one in Realizing this great truth!

Practicing Atma Kriya helps heal the person practicing Kriya and the Earth in this way of connecting back into the Love-Light which is The Divine Itself. From that, one becomes more and more his Light-Body-Self and the darkness of anger, hate, greed, envy, lust, seeking power and Earthly success, and such characteristics, disappears into the Light. Thereby, the person and Mother Earth are healed from the pain and suffering man has created in the Kali Yuga. The more people who committedly practice Kriya, the more each person and the Earth are healed. Practicing Atma Kriya affects all of creation, because all of creation is One, in essence.

I bless you All in the name of Kriya and its ability to heal and create Oneness in an unbroken ray of Light from one person to another and another until all Realize Oneness, The Divine. Amen and OM.

I am Babaji, the champion of all humanity.

*An announcement and information about Mahavatar Babaji’s new book (two volumes) will be placed on VBV soon.

Three Little Monkeys

Mahavatar Babaji

Rise in the morning sun.
Retire in the night starlight.
Betwixt & between,
Be like the three little
Monkey brothers who
Hear no evil,
Speak no evil and
See no evil.
Let the Divine Light
Of the Sun and Starlight
Shine through you
In all that you Hear, Speak, See
And Do.

THE PRAYER

Surrender to The Lotus Feet - To God's Love

In Spirituality, the word surrender means the surrendering of one’s mind to the lotus feet of the Lord. –Sri Swami Vishwananda

Surrender to God’s Love

Mary's Messages from Medjugorje

SURRENDER TO GOD'S LOVE
Lyrics

If you knew how much I love you
You would cry tears of joy
And if you knew how much He loves you
You would sing words of joy

Each of you who grows far from me
In my heart I feel the pain
So give your heart to your loving Mother
Feel the joy begin to reign

Dear Children
I call upon you to surrender to God above
Little Children
I call upon you to surrender to God's love
To surrender to God's love

When your life has led to darkness
And your heart is in despair
Just give your fears and worries to me
And surrender through your prayers

Only God will bring peace to you
Through your prayers from your soul
And let your mind dream of Heaven
And surrender all control

Dear Children
I call upon you to surrender to God above
Little Children
I call upon you to surrender to God's love
To surrender to God's love

And if you knew how much I love you
And if you knew how much I love you
Children if you knew how much I love you
You would cry tears of joy

Dear Children
I call upon you to surrender to God above
Little Children
I call upon you to surrender to God's love

Thank you for responding to my call

BHAKTI SOUNDS

The mind is always running towards music. That’s why, when you are very tired, let’s say when you return from work, you put on very soft music and sit and relax. Wherever there is sound, the mind will run towards it.

Love's Pearls of Wisdom - Mahavatar Babaji

The sun sets on the horizon as we view it while sitting in padmasana on the banks of the Great Sacred Ganges River in India. Does this mean that the sun has disappeared forever from view in the part of the world which now lies in darkness with the night starlight above? Around the globe the Creator has designed the sun to rise each morning in the 24 hour period of darkness and light. This natural law of nature demonstrates for us that much of Creation, Itself, is hidden from view of the five physical senses. Therefore, let ye be ones who look within the humbleness of the human Heart wherein the Lord has deemed that you may know the Divine Love with all Its Creative Force and power.

Mahavatar Babaji

Mahvatar Babaji Tells a Story of Divine Intervention

Once, long ago in your time, there was a young girl living in a Himalayan village in India. There were wild tigers and elephants living there. One day an elephant came into the village in a wild rampage. It seemed as if the disturbed elephant had been driven mad by some unseen force. The villagers scattered and ran as fast as they could away from the terrifying beast.

A young village girl, Taramata was her name, stood by the Sacred Ganges River that lay just beyond the edge of the village. Tara means Star in Sanskrit and mata means gift of God. So, this young girl’s name tells the story that the girl came from the stars as a gift from God to the world at that time.

As the elephant continued to run wildly around the village,Taramata calmly knelt down on the banks of the Great Ganges, folded her hands and prayed to Divine Mother to bring calm to the elephant’s heart and to her people. Suddenly the skies opened and a Great Light could be seen by all, spinning in silver luminescence toward the Earth. This light stopped in front of the young girl, Taramata, who could see clearly the form of the lovely Divine Mother Lakshmi standing inside the silver circle of light.

The Divine Mother told the nine-year-old girl: Your Divine Destiny is to become the Guru and healer of your village and throughout India and the world by Divine Decree and Grace. Every day come to this place and I will be with you within yourself and I will teach you what you need to know to help your people attain God.

This wild elephant suddenly stopped running madly around the village and walked slowly and calmly toward the silver circle of light. He majestically bowed at the feet of the Divine Mother who stood inside the silver light. Mother Lakshmi reached a gentle and lovely hand out toward the elephant and touched him on the head in blessing. The elephant calmly walked back into the forest as Mother Divine had healed the madness that had possessed the elephant.

Maha Lakshmi said to the young girl, Taramata: Beloved child of God let it come to pass that you become a light of Love and Truth to your people and the world. You will lead many to The Divine through your Divine Love and calmness of heart and mind. And so it was.

My students, friends, devotees and disciples of contemporary times, be calm always and it will avail you much on your spiritual path. From within a calm and peaceful mind and Heart, God will be revealed!

Looking For Thee - New VIdeo Dedicated to Swami and Mahavatar

We all are here because of our spiritual path, because of our spiritual way, this way to the heart, this way to realization, God-Realization. Most of you probably know that the main aim, on the outside, is to know thyself, to realize the completeness of who you are in Reality. In this search, you make many travels to India, travels to America, travels everywhere, but all this searching on the outside has a limit. We are on the search and the search brings us to fun places. We meet different people, but still we are incomplete. We say, “God I have left heaven to realize it here. Whatever I’m doing, I’m doing it for Thee. Wherever I go, I’m just looking for Thee."

Dedicated to ParamGuru Mahavatar Babaji

& SatGuru Sri Swami Vishwananda - Following Poem.

Life Is Like A Lemon Tree

Three coins in a fountain may
Grant you three wishes,
Or so it is said.

One remembers the thriune of the three wise men,
Who came to Jesus, the Christ, that night of nights…
Back then when a great light came to Earth
As a bright star was observed in the Heavens.

Run for your lives the masses say,
As they strive for their daily bread.
How can life be equal
And God be loving and fair,
When rich and poor and happy and sad,
Some terrified by war
And some wallowing in wealth and power
Live side-by-side in this illusionary world?

The three wise men might say:
Cover your eyes and ears to that called illusion
And look to the heart instead.
For many lives we all have lived:
We have been rich and poor,
Lovely and not so fair,
Powerful and down and out,
Penniless even…
Lying in the gutter of human embodiment,
One life a rich man we become,
The next a pauper’s son,
Then perhaps even a lordly king or two
Wearing the royal purple robe.
Entitlement is the name of that game.

What have we attained in the end?
Only the love we have embodied and given,
And God, through Grace,
If we have attained Him by the end!
As Satguru Sri Swami Vishwananda says:
"When one has God, one has everything!"
None of the illusionary world do we take with us…
When from this world we go.

We teach our children as we live the example
And not from what we tell them is so.
Our children walk the same path as everyone,
They learn and live life as they go!

Life is like a lemon tree.
If life showers us with sour lemons,
Then with God’s Grace,
Let us accept God’s gift of the lemons
And let us make the sweetest of all lemonades
While upon this Earth of man.
