Saints and Sadgurus

by pravinojha1astrosagar @ 2008-05-02 - 10:27:32

In Sanskrit, “Gu” means “darkness”, and “ru” means “one who dispels”. So, guru literally means “one who dispels the darkness.” Sadguru is that guru who dispels the darkness from all three strata of human existence – the physical sphere, the psychic sphere, and the spiritual sphere. Sadguru also means “the guru who leads one to Sat, that means ultimate truth, ultimate reality “ In other words, Satguru or Sadguru means true teacher, true guru or the highest spiritual guru. As per Hindu philosophy, the teacher(guru) is the sacred conduit to “self-realization”. In the Upanishads, five signs of sadguru are mentioned. In the presence of the Sadguru; Knowledge flourishes (Gyana raksha); Sorrow diminishes (Dukha kshaya); Joy swells up without any reason (Sukha aavirbhava); Abundance dawns (Samriddhi); All talents manifest (Sarva samvardhan). Guru Shloka."Gurur Bramha Gurur Vishnu
Gurur Devo Maheshwarah
Gurur Sakshat Para Bramha
Tasmai Shree Gurave Namah” The above Sanskrit shloka, is an important mantra & invokes the blessings of the Guru. The shloka conveys the meaning ‘Salutations to the noble teacher who is Brahma, Vishnu and Lord Mahesh(Shiva) and Guru is the supreme “Brahman’- (the Absolute or ultimate reality).”The Guru is like Lord Brahma (The God of Creation)because he creates the character in children. The Guru is like Lord Vishnu (The God of Sustenance) because he protects the good qualities in his students. The Guru is like Lord Shiva (The God of Annihilation) because he destroys the bad habits and bad qualities of his children.Lord Dattatreya is said to be the manifestation of the triad, Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Mahesh, the Guru for all. Lord Dattatreya incarnated in the form of many saints from time to time such as Swami Akkalkot Maharaj, Swami Gajanan Maharaj, etc. to transform mankind and take mankind towards the path of self-realisation, thereby establishing dharma (conduct) in this world. In Mahabharata, Lord Krishna, the preceptor of Bhagvad Gita, is also prayed as “JagadGuru.”“Vasudeva Sutham Devam
Kamsa Chanura Mardhanam
Devaki Paramanandani
Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum”Importance of Guru:Shirdi Sai Baba was a great Sadguru. He said, “The path through which one has to travel in life is like passing through jungle where there are wolves, tigers and other wild animals in the form of unending desires, ego, pride and huge mountains and deep ditches in the form of anger, passion, jealousy etc. If we take a guide (i.e., Guru) with us then there is no difficulty as he will take us straight to our destination (self-realization) avoiding wolves, tiger’s, mountains, ditches etc.”There is nobody in this world who is greater than a Sadguru and blessed is he, who gets a “Samartha Sadguru” to guide him. As Shirdi Sai Baba often said, “Our true Guru is God alone. He transcends all gunas. He is beyond all forms. He is the only one who can dispel the darkness of ignorance and light the lamp of supreme wisdom. Shirdi Sai Baba always used to utter “Allah Malik Hai”. Shirdi Sai Baba’s path is the easiest one. Constantly contemplating at His lotus feet will take us to Him. Sadguru Sai Baba is Omniscient, Omnipresent and Omnipotent and we can directly appeal to Him; cast our burdens on Him and derive all benefits from Him. As Shirdi Sai Baba often said, “Why fear, when I am here.” “Know that I am always with you, prompting you, guiding you. Live always in that constant presence.” Shirdi Sai Baba often underwent and still undergoes great sufferings to save His devotees from dangers.Parallels in various Religions of the world:While in Hinduism certain Gurus (enlightened masters) are referred as Sadguru, Mahatma and Paramahamsa etc., “Saint” is predominantly used within Christian religions as a person who is recognized as having attained a high level of sacredness or holiness.Judaism speaks of a class of (unidentified) individuals known as Tzadik. Tzadik is the Hebrew word for "righteous one", and is a title which is generally given to those who are considered to be righteous such as a spiritual master or Rebbe.In Buddhism, an Arhat or Arahant is a person who has achieved enlightenment. The Guru / teacher is respected greatly and is source of inspiration on the path to Enlightenment and is seen as embodiment of Lord Buddha. The Sufi concept of the Qutub (literally, pole, tower, lighthouse) could be viewed as analogous to the sadguru. The Qutub is the revered wise man who provides a focus for Sufi spiritual teachings they are also referred as Pir and Sarkar. In Sikhism, Sadguru is one of the many names for God. The title Guru is extremely fundamental to the Sikh religion. The core beliefs of Sikhism is belief in one God and in the teachings of the Ten Gurus, enshrined in Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy book. On the importance of guru, the first guru of Sikhs, Guru Nanak says: “Let no man in the world live in delusion. Without a Guru none can cross over to the other shore.”While there are parallels between these (and other) concepts of Guru, it is important to remember that each of these concept has specific meanings within their given religion, and not all those meanings are identical with the idea of Guru or sainthood.

Some Facts About Angels

by pravinojha1astrosagar @ 2008-05-01 - 12:40:12

Reference about angels is found in all religions of the world. The Christians call them angels, Muslims call them Farishta, and Hindus know them by the name of Dev doot. All religions believe in the existence of angels. Angels are said to be messengers of God. They are here to help us know about our divine guidance at any particular time.

To hear them well we have to be receptive towards them, for that we have to tune in to their frequency by concentration and by letting of one’s ego.

However, angels do not interfere in the free will made by God. Therefore, they will not interfere or suggest anything if you don’t seek their help. We will guide you about your angels so that you can take their help at the moment of crisis so that you do not struggle alone in life.

The love of angels towards you is unconditional. They are heavenly beings hence they are very powerful. They are around us to assure that God’s love answers all questions and they are there to help us out of our challenges. They also deliver timely messages, remedies, and life saving measures to help us feel protected and contended in our lives.

There is no limit to angel’s healing power. They can help us heal our relationships, career concerns, finances, housing issues, and any other challenges that are troubling us.

They exist to praise God and bear the message and task for which God sends them. They appear to people of all religions, or even to people who follow no religion. God sends his angels to them also. This is because God has unconditional love towards his children.

About Sensitive Children

by pravinojha1astrosagar @ 2008-04-29 - 09:54:30

The terms, "Indigo" and "Crystal" were given to because they most accurately describe their aura colors and energy patterns. Indigo Children have a lot of indigo blue in their auras. The Crystal Children have opalescent auras, with beautiful multi-colors in pastel hues. This generation also shows a fascination for crystals and rocks. Hence, they are called crystal children.

Indigo Children

They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it)
They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others don't share that.
Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell the parents "who they are."
They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).
They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.
They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don't require creative thought.
They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (nonconforming to any system).
They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward; feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially.
They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did").
They are not shy in letting you know what they need.
Indigos have a warrior spirit, because their collective purpose is to mash down old systems that no longer serve us.
To accomplish this end, they need tempers and fiery determination.
Those adults who resist change and who value conformity may misunderstand the Indigos.
Sadly, when they are medicated, The Indigos often lose their beautiful sensitivity, spiritual gifts, and warrior energy.
They don't have the ability to dissociate from their feelings and pretend like everything's okay . . . unless they are medicated or sedated.
They are often mislabeled with the psychiatric diagnoses of Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

The Crystal Children

The first thing most people notice about Crystal Children is their eyes large, penetrating, and wise beyond their years. Their eyes lock on and hypnotize you, while you realize your soul is being laid bare for the child to see.
The Crystal Children are blissful and even-tempered. These children are largely forgiving and easy-going.
Crystal Children's spiritual gifts are also misunderstood.
Specifically, their telepathic abilities which lead them to talk later in life.
Many of the Crystal Children have delayed speech patterns, and it's not uncommon for them to wait until they're 3 or 4 years old to begin speaking.
The trouble comes about when the Crystals are judged by medical and educational personnel as having "abnormal" speaking patterns.
It's no coincidence that as the number of Crystals are born, that the number of diagnoses for autism is at a record high.
The diagnostic criterion for autism is quite clear. The autistic person doesn't talk because of an indifference to communicating with others.
Crystal Children are quite the opposite. They display an unprecedented level of kindness and sensitivity to this world. An autistic person wouldn't do that!
If we shame the children with labels, or medicate them into submission, we will have undermined a heaven-sent gift.

Past Life Regression: By Anand Sagar Pathak Counselor

by pravinojha1astrosagar @ 2008-03-30 - 08:38:36

Have we taken birth earlier in this World? Who are we? Why are we? These are the basic questions that has to be understood by any soul that incarnates in this world. Many faiths believe that we take numerous births in this universe till the time our soul reaches its zenith and we take salvation.

It is however believed that Sadguru’s (spiritual masters) are unborn in this world, they just assume their body by use of their yogamaya for the betterment of their devotees and for the purpose of doing the work in the world as per the direction of God. Normally, a Sadguru never gets emancipation from this world as he has to come on this world again and again for the betterment of his devotee and to guide them to Mukti. Hence, a Sadguru is by nature a Mukt Aatma (free spirit), having the completeness of Vairagya and Virakti i.e., they are free from the world even when they are in the world. When I see the lotus feet of my Sadguru Shri Sai Nath of Shirdi I feel grateful to him. It is only because of his grace that I am able to bring the secrets of spiritual healing for betterment of people.

How do we use the grace of God or Sadguru in resolving our life problems?

Sometimes back I had a conversation with a saintly person who did a reading for one of his disciple.

His disciple was a lady in middle age (some 45 years of age) who was unmarried, without a family and love. When he asked the reason why this lady was suffering? The saint got a reply from his masters that this lady did not take care of her husband in last birth, rebuked him and never offered any food to him, her husband cursed her, and because of this curse the lady is not getting married in this life.

The observation here is that a person can have a bad marital life because of some curses that the soul is carrying from past life.

So the first step of our guidance is to see what has happened in the past life (this can only be done by the grace of Sadguru and angels) and see what can be done to solve the problems from its origin.

The second step is to help the soul release the guilt, unforgiveness and ideas that are not letting the person enjoy his / her marital life.

Here, there is a huge difference as knowing of guilt and feeling of guilt attracts heavenly punishments but releasing the guilt with the grace of Sadguru and angels helps in freeing the soul from excess karmic imbalances. This is called detoxifying the soul.

The angels and Sadguru can help in bringing loving thoughts of hope, love and compassion in life and can help in releasing hopelessness, faithlessness and other negative aspects. The net result is that a person can have a good life after his healing.

Hence, our approach is to heal the problems by using time tested methods of spiritual healing and angel guidance.
