Learn Lalitasahasranama easily by chanting or singing along with this audio. Shree Matre Namah.The famous Lalita sahasranama Stotra can be found in the Brahmanda Purana. It was given to the great Rishi Agastya by Lord Hayagriva, an incarnation of Lord Vishhnu. Agastya was dismayed with the ignorance and the pleasure seeking lives of people and worshipped Devi Kamakshi at Kanchi, one of the most revered Devi Shakti peethas, for a solution to uplift the masses. Lord Hayagriva appeared before agastya and advised him that the worship of the Devi with the Lalita Sahasranama stotra is the best way to attain both spiritual and material upliftment

Is stillness sterile? Many of us are experiencing ourselves in a forced stillness in the lockdown period and feel un purposeful and unproductive. For eons, we have believed in the capacity and intention of action to achieve a state of fullness and viability. At this standstill of time, where most of us are restricted in our movement, interactions and more, the mind is bound to slip into a self critical state of being a useless nobody with nothing great to do or aim for either. The paralysis of action is a grappling enigma for the egoic mind which has its identity erected out of a urgency of purpose. So how is one to cope with this futility of purpose and goal while we all go through the hibernation season for humanity? A keen acceptance and complete inner surrender is the key. To see the world situation with a certain indifference is a mandate. Might sound uncompassionate to many but when one falls in the meditative and allowing space of self surrender, one sees clearly that it was merely an ego aggression to offer to make a difference to what truly is unfolding. At this point, stillness takes over. This stillness should not be mistaken for a sterile end point but is a collosum to a mighty beginning. As one hibernates and performs inaction, one gears up for mindful action in the most appropriate way. Can we prepare ourselves before a launch in this stillness or are we too unstable and unready for it? It's a great opportunity to do some deep reflections, and have the banana cake you have always wanted to.. Give up the bait of action and allow the try self to shine from within in this sacred altar of stillness and soberity. Allow... Allow...

Gongyo is to recite the Lotus Sutra and chant Daimoku in front of the Gohonzon. The practitioners of Nichiren Shoshu have been carrying out the practice of Gongyo since the time of Nichiren Daishonin and Nikko Shonin. We recite the first part of the Hoben (“Expedient Means”-2nd) Chapter and the entire Juryo (“Life Span”- 16th) Chapter of the sutra and chant the Daimoku – Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo – to the Gohonzon. Practicing morning and evening Gongyo allows us to purify our lives, establish a happy life condition, and create our own desirable futures. Performing Gongyo every day without fail is a critical aspect of our practice. We perform all five silent prayers in the morning and three silent prayers (the second, the third and the fifth silent prayers) in the evening.

A lifetime is lived in searching for love, then living it out followed by the last step of transcending it. It's a full circle of occurance which each soul passes through. The seeking ...exhilirating and enticing keeps the juices flowing and the butterflies fluttering around in the stomach. The shadow of a faceless lover keeps appearing as an invitation to dissolve in the beloved's call for union. On arrival, one finds himself facing a mirror which keeps reflecting one's own shades of persona, feelings and being. In this association, one experiences the plethora of human emotion that's available and is distracted from the real search of the true self. The maaya of emotion keeps the attention and awareness outward focussed and is on the mercy of the tossing turning of the lover. The sweet melody of this love song is too good to decline and the landscapes of emotions too welcoming to ignore. The trap is all set and the ignorant one falls into it...sometimes even when one is too aware to see it..still the succumbing to love is allmost impossible. Nobody really knows why...Maybe it is a part of the plan of growing up or awakening. Swooning to the erotica of love and high on it's pangs... One forgets the impermanance of the association. When death, suffering or distance suddenly jolt one from the dream, it comes to a knowing that the ephemeral and fleeting nature of relationship cannot be tagged alongside eternally. It must end some day and leave behind a wound..a wound that scars, aches , bleeds and silently shouts out for balm and succor. In the lonely woods of a lost love, one wanders from tree to tree searching for familiar signposts and finds himself lost in the maze of memories. This phase also eventually does end as does everything else and one arrives at a point of reflection where one has transcended the myth of love and can no longer return to it's sweet enticement. at this point of Transcendence, one continues to participate and yet know it's illusion and bigotry. The alchemic revelation of love finally ends at it's Transcendence and passing over.

The yoga of relationships is a ever available playground where we can practise the concomitant occurance of need, presence and awakening. How can two lovers possibly awaken together without renunciating the passionate longing for each other? Sounds like a maze but a conscious practise of awareness is all that's needed. Identity traps are the biggest things that seize our attention in the deepest of our associations. We remain trapped as being who we are to the other and allmost terrorizing the other to be similarly so. Because even if one of us looses the garb of identity, his nakedness begins to threaten the ruin of their relationship. It's like a death knell as how could you possibly romance a nobody. The whole illusion of the shared palace of the relationship stands shattered in the face of such calamity. Who will we be when we can't even be ourselves anymore..it's scary and death like. We want to be enlightened...sure but we would like to still hold on to our closest ones too. It sounds paradoxical and strange. But surely it's possible to co exist in deeply loving ways to our dear ones and still not fall into the trap of belonging any place. This is possible when both the participants are honestly seeking an awakening and have a will to move in tandem and awareness. It's easy to get lost in the dramas of relationships when one comes from a place of deep identifications of one self and other. The perpetual trial to tailor make relationship according to these identities with it's likes and dislikes becomes the main agenda and the real idea of evolution from the mundane attachment is forgotten. The same relationship that heals, solace's and supports becomes a binge of pain and pleasure alternating itself cyclically..it becomes a trap rather than an open sky of freedom and oneness. So if you are lucky and have someone who wishes to awaken with you while you both are in love...it's a precious and rare blessing of a lifetime. Go all out, practise the yoga of relationships with compassion and awareness and knead yourself into a true oneness of being

Yoga nidra (Sanskrit: योग निद्रा) or yogic sleep is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the "going-to-sleep" stage, typically induced by a guided meditation. There is evidence that yoga nidra helps to relieve stress. An ancient technique from India, it has now spread worldwide.Yoga nidra is a state in which the body is completely relaxed, and the practitioner becomes systematically and increasingly aware of the inner world by following a set of verbal instructions. This state of consciousness is different from meditation, in which concentration on a single focus is required.In yoga nidra the practitioner remains in a state of light withdrawal of the 5 senses (pratyahara) with four senses internalised, that is, withdrawn, and only hearing still connects to any instructions given. The goals of both yogic paths, yoga nidra and meditation are the same, a state of meditative consciousness called samadhi. It is among the deepest possible states of relaxation while still maintaining full consciousness. In lucid dreaming, one is only, or mainly, cognizant of the dream environment, and has little or no awareness of one's actual environment.

Every truth contains within it a paradox of opposites and it's complete acceptance is the way to ingrain it...wholeness passes through a sequaelae of pain and inner opening ...a fracture of the familiar and the conditioned...and that's the fire one has to pass through to fly in the open skies... If I have any dream it is to live our lives in open and honest truth of love and the self... in this grand vision for ourselves and others; we will set ourselves free and eternally in the deepest love possible between any humans.. we can choose to remain trapped in what we have arrived at or keep moving deeper into oneness and the self and love.. the double edged spectrum of truth is a pinch of spice and sugar and is not readily available to an unripe mind. The door opens when one is ready and in surrender. The egoic identity cannot surrender easily to enter this home with no walls as it stands stupefied in the absence of recognizable efforts what it is used to. Truth is easy and difficult both as it is too subtle to grasp and too easy to intellectually understand. However with patience, silence, acceptance and conscious effort...we embody it's paradoxes and gracefully live it's spectrums. Only willingness to remain open and in surrender is needed to enter this realm of the apparent opposites.

We are often assailed with doubts and dillemas. The fickle mind plays out it's drama of being the master and having a authority to make choices for us. That itself is a big illusion as all is unfolding as it should at it's own pace and grace. But the mind asserts it controls occurances by making wise and meaningful choices. That assertion keeps the ego alive in its Glory of being in control. Doubts are the tools of the mind and trigger in us dis satisfaction, anxiety and insecurities. However, doubts can be used as a vessel which can hold within it the wisdom waters of knowing. When we have doubts, we probe deeper, we meditate on our experiences and sculpt perceptions and understandings. Doubts sharpen the longing and inflame the passion to know. The ambiguous nature of doubt opens us to the possibilities of discovery. Thus...doubts may be used well to our evolution and to deepen perception and amalgamation of experience. Don't fret when you have doubts. Own them and let them lead you home...to being more of yourself .

Aloneness... The prelude that always leads to Oneness There comes a definite time in one's journey beyond which one has to travel alone. No matter whom or how deeply you might have loved, have been accompanied or the sacredness of your beliefs, you find yourself much too far away from such familiar locale. A common mistake at this point would be to identify this as a solemn kind of loneliness which has a melancholy undertone to it. And then try harder to fit in...amidst the familiar and the comfortable. Alas.. some changes are ir reversible and rather there is never a going back to the same old patterns of consciousness. This realization could be scary as one finds himself too too far away and is grieving at the loss. The compass no longer guides to definitive end points, the paths lie fractured and one has no friends to share the fear and grief. How ever..if one prevails in this pause and looks without donning the coloured glasses of old conditionings, he will be able to find peace with the new conscious awakening that's unfolding. At the end of the lonely dark tunnel, the awakened world of unity awaits where one will know all to be his self only. But do you have the guts to go on travelling through the black hole of aloneness to arrive at the iridiscent light of oneness and love? If yes, know that you are essentially alone as you have never been and keep moving...one step at a time.
