Dear I love India:

What is so special about Navratri or be it any other days. See, whole 365 days is same. The name and forms are created by people in Hindus as an object or point of concentration initially outward. Actually, there is no such form. No matter whatever thapasya one does or no matter aradhana one do, u will not be able to see any five handed god or ten legged god anywhere in the whole universe because no such form ever exists. Even if it comes like one wishes by luck after doing so much of tapasya or aradhana, it will disappear in a moment resulting in sadness or miseries again after that. At max, they will be able to give some happiness related to this world, which is also momentary.

If one has to see the god, it has to happen in one inside whereby one has experience always. To see means, to experience.

God simply means power or chaitanya. The origin of this power is from parabrahmam. This parabrahmam's power is installed in various idols. Idols may be many, but the power in all idols is only one. If there is no power in a idol, it cannot be called as God.

"Antarmukha Samaradhya Bahir Mugha Su Durlabha"

She is one who resides inwardly...Antarmugha. You wont find anywhere outwardly even if you put ur legs up and stand...Bahir Mugha Su Durlabha...not even a chance of finding outward.

The same way "Chit Agni Kunda Samboothayeye Namahah" "Chit Agni" It is the fire which is present inward.

You can call that power devi, vishnu, shiva, ganesha or be it anything else...all is same only.

See, 99.99% of people are conducting festivals, merely doing sadhana etc..outwardly always. it is not that one do not do anything....one may do, but for why one should do anything?...for what purpose i am doing? what I am going to get by doing this? All such questions should be asked. Since no such form ever exist...why one is searching outside?

When the origination point of whole universe is from us inwardly, i mean through mind and when even the whole world is an illusion where everything happens and gets destroyed, where so many things come up and disappear like a dream and whereby all three states comes and goes.

I would like to ask two simple questions:

1. Where is this world or universe when you are in deep sleep? Is this not something which everybody is experiencing?

2. Is sun raising daily and is sun setting daily? Is it not an illusion? When the earth revolves around the sun, we are experiencing or seeing with our eyes as sun rising daily and sun setting daily. When the sun goes to other part of earth, we are experiencing night. So, is sun rising and setting happening?

The same is with Moon and stars in the sky. Is the Moon and stars disappearing daily? We are able to see it in the night when the sky is clear, but does it set at day time? Due to Sun's powerful and bright rays, we are not able to see it in morning time, that's all. It is the same case with each and everything in this whole universe or mind.

Many things seem to be real and that is the magic of this universe, but when we go near it, we can find that it does not exist at all and we will feel disappointed.

I have also met many mahans....but many of them told me, that they have not seen such gods outside anywhere. The forms are created so as just to understand us.

There is no such god in form of mahavishnu or shiva etc., but their power only remains. For e.g. Rama came to earth by taking a form by his own Ichha Sakthi and Rama left the form in Sarayu River after his duties are over here for what he came for and entered into maha samadhi. The same is with Krishna. The same is with each and everybody of us. We all are in a body, but the body is not us and we also have come for some purpose or the other here and we will leave the body at appropriate times whether knowingly or unknowingly. This keeps on happening almost endlessly.

So what we should understand here is Rama and Krishna are not bodies, but the ever present power or called as electricity one can say.

Vishnu Saharasanam says this clearly "Avayya Purusha Sakshi Kshetranjo Akshara Eva Cha"

Avayya means who does not have different forms or He who is always same.

Purushaha-means one who resides within- Pure Vasthati Ithi Purushaha- Puram means body or object in which that power resides. Hence, called as Purusha.

Sakshi-He who is the witness of every thing that happens.

Kshetragna-He who knows the body

Akshara-He who does not have death. Na Ksharaha-Akshara or called as Brahamam, something which is always stagnant, something which is beyond time, space and nature.

Kshetragna and Akshara are one only- Eva Cha.

[Narayan]

All meanings are referring inwardly only in one and all the festivals are meant to find us who are we only. God does not need any festivals or something from you. He is more happier to remain without any festivals in silence always and without nothing.

This is the significance...she will be really happy for you if you really seek him/her in you..

Dear Numbskull,

I think you have completely missed the point why I am placing my links here. The ads that display on my blog are not for my benefit, I have not got a penny out of it, and I don't desire any. By Lord Krishna's grace, I am earning quite well. Also, the ads are placed by adsense, which I can't control. I got an offer from them worth $100 for putting ads and it expires tomorrow, and I dont wish to use that because I am not the one who is going to run after money.

I am not sure of your background but a .com website is a commercial website, as per the definition. A non-profit organization will have domain name of .org.

My soul purpose is just one, people's benefit. And I am aware that if you set out to do something, someone will feel bad! Every one has had critics, be it Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi or Mother Teresa even!

Also, I am just putting links here, most people are matured enough to decide which link to click or not. It's there choice.

Lastly, I am not advertising my blog here, I am just trying to share my knowledge, and help people! LOVA is not just for discussions but also for sharing knowledge. And I have mentioned LOVA in my profile on my blog too.

I can't disgrace my Mother, my Guru and the Lord by trying out something commercially. They have taught me to work for others, that's why I am writing this blog.

regards,
V.

Dear Numbskull,

I was not hurt, not at all. But I do feel bad when someone suspects my intentions. Believe me if I am writing that only to help people. If someone reads my blog and tried to change his life positively even by 1% my job is done! Also, the ads are placed by google and not me.

Thanks a lot for your wishes, and I would surely like to continue. Also, if you need any help in understanding of Internet feel free to ask him, I am a Computer Engineer. I might be able to help you.

Another thing, I recently started to explore Medical Astrology. The purpose here is to find the possibilities of diseases in one's chart and then suggest solutions (remedies). I think you can help me?

Dear Narayanan,

I completely respect you for your ideology and I don't have the audacity to negate that. Actually after reading the stuff that you wrote I felt that I deserve some guidance from some seniors out here. I really wish that Vaughanji, Srikanthji, Revribhavji, Astroboyji, Astrodufferji or Saindhaviji guide me on this. If they say(after reading my blog) that what I am doing is wrong then I will surely stop doing this. I give you my word!

Thanks a lot for your inputs, I appreciate that!

regards,
V.

Please clarify, I did not understand what is meant by Pramaadam? If I am not wrong Prmaaadam is a Sanskrit word meaning 'negligence'! Please explain me the context.

Respected I love Indiaji:

"If they say(after reading my blog) that what I am doing is wrong then I will surely stop doing this. I give you my word!"

I never said what you are doing is wrong. Why you are taking it negatively? Please take everything positively rather than creating impressions yourself that what you are doing is wrong.

I guess since this is an open forum, everybody can write out here whatever they know, but why should one take anything negatively?

Whatever I know I wrote, that's all. I am not a big buff...I am still a small child....I still also have a lot and lot to learn, that's how I look at it.

Whatever you wrote of Navaratri is to do some dosh nivaran and to get this, that etc. I am not criticizing you in anyway, maybe it seem to suite you more right now.

But, to me, God is a different proportion altogether..so, I wrote from that perspective only.

Narayanan

Dear Narayananji,

I am not taking anything negatively and that's why I said that may be I am digressed so I need some guidance. Also, I know that it is an open forum and everyone is free to talk what they want to. That's why I said that I respect your ideology. You have certain perception and you explained that, I am good with that sir! No problem.

thanks a lot again,
V.

[Narayan]

Respected I love Indiaji:

"You have certain perception and you explained that, I am good with that sir! No problem."

First of all, please and please kindly avoid calling me sir. I am not sir..... I am an ordinary person like anybody else in this earth. Moreover sir, I am not even anywhere near you. So, please dont call me sir.

I do not have any perception of my own, but my base is Sruti and Smrithi of Adi Shankara or you can say eyes of Parameswara. I see things by standing on vedas which is the strong foundation laid by Adi Shankara and great sages and Maharishis and which is the base of Parameswara himself.

Lalitha Sahasranama is not written by me if you have mistaken I love indiaji It came from discussion between great sages and Maharishis of Hayagriva and Agastya.

The same is with Vishnu Sahasranama. It has come from the mouth of our great ancestor, Bhishma who is a great great devotee of Lord Mahavishnu.

The same is with Bhagavad Gita, Upanishad, Srimad Bhagavatam, Narayaneeyam, Manisha Panchakam, different sastras, granthas etc.etc.

"Bhagavanapi Viswa Atma Atma Samsathakaro Vibuhu" This is one statement from Gajendra Moksha chapter whereby it clear defines as to who is "GOD" "Viswa Atma" who descends down from time to time "To uplift other souls who is related to him"

All these things are literally stating Mahavakya of "Thatavamasi" indirectly in a crisp tone.

The problem is that we have an outer perception of things and the real meaning of it is not correctly understood and that's where problem lies.

So sir, you may please not mistake me. I have no standing of my own. Instead I stand on my holy guru's grace, his views, I stand on our holy sages and Maharishi's feet, my father Parameswara and mother Parvathi's views as they are virtually everything of mine.

Sir, is it possible to have one's perception especially when one is relying on him so so much that she/he cannot remain separated from him? For me, whatever I am today is just by his utmost mercy and karunya...nothing else. I am even having food given by him, wearing cloth etc..given by him only. Nothing is of mine. Tell me, how can I have my own perception?

To accept something or not is up to each and everybody of you, but if we are not going to accept what great sages and Maharishis has said, then what can we accept?

Narayanan
