HAPPY DIPAWAI

Maharishi explains the Name “Maha-Lakshmi”:
Maha Lakshmi... the first syllable is Maha. Maha, great. And this great in the context of education is the characteristic of consciousness. This Maha is the goal of anyone who is not yet Maha. So, Maha goal is the meaning of the word Laksha... Laksha means the goal (Maha means unbounded, infinite, immortal, eternal, Brahm, Totality, whole). Maha is the goal of that which is not Maha. The goal of Maha is to swing in his greatness. It should be a living reality.

That the unbounded does not remain only silent. But in that silence, there should be lively all possibilities. So, the Laksha, the goal, the goal of Maha is to have many in its unified wholeness. And the goal of that what is not Maha, the goal of small is to be big and the goal of big is to swing in its own expressions. Infinity wants to flow from one end of infinity to the other end of infinity and it s flowing, it divides itself, it quantifies itself, it qualifies itself.

So it is the qualification which makes one look to the goal. Small wants to qualify itself into as big as possible. The big wants to qualify itself as the field of all possibilities from this end to that end. Maha is a goal and MI is a very, very significant word which is made of two values, MA and I. When we look to MA, naturally it is me, the first to the self, ME, even in English me, but in the Vedic terminology MI we understand as total value of all four Vedas. MA, what MA is, it s the HUM, Hummm.

Agnim-m-m. Rig, Yajur, Sama, Atharva. Then Atharva is a Hum. Hum of all the four Vedas... Agni, it s a collapse of all the progression of all the Vedas into a Hum. Â Hum means the total values of all sounds; all sounds are inherent in Hum. And in that Hum which is focused on a point, that reality of the point is then transformed into dynamism, which is represented by I.

So, Maha Lakshmi this is the total Veda, concentrated into the Hum and made dynamism. Here is concentration at a point, which then in its nature is all dynamism. Â So, in the word Maha Lakshmi we have that enormous, unbounded, total, infinite, eternal immortality expressed in all the Vedas and found located in a point. And then expanding a point in infinity, and dynamism again into Maha. So, here is the total __expression of the Veda, total __expression of pure knowledge. Along with its infinite organising power in one point concentrating and expanding. This point value, this is Maha Lakshmi...

So, the element of Maha Lakshmi is a composite of two values of opposite directions. Focal point and expanding in its nature, this is called Anyonyabhava. It has two kinds of directions, coming in, expanding and going out... So, the Laksha, the goal of expanding value is to concentrate.  The goal of concentrated value is to expand. And here is the seed of Maha. This is Maha Lakshmi, at the  point, which is both, expansion and contraction, infinite potential of the expansion element we could see along with infinite expansion of contraction element.
That means no matter where the situation is, there is all possibility, no matter at what level we are considering or at any level of contraction or at any level of expansion, here or here, at any level is Maha Lakshmi. Â There is a field of all possibilities and the field of all possibilities in each cell is a concentrated point of silence within the quality of infinite dynamism. Silence and dynamism, that means completely fulfilled of wakefulness.

Completely fulfilled because it is not devoid of anything. Infinite silence concentrated, infinite dynamism concentrated and therefore it is eternal state of fulfilment. Â It is a fulfilment of eternal value. Fulfilment of immortal value because there is a field of all possibilities and in this field of all possibilities is the element of fulfilment, infinite bliss. Infinite bliss is a quality of fulfilment and fulfilment the quality of lack of lack. Devoid of nothingness.

It is all fullness, completely fulfilled, self-sufficient infinity, eternity, capable of flowing in terms of waves, modified, qualified and still remaining unqualified at all time . Unqualified qualified fulfilment, that means it is  unmanifest total potential of all qualifications that may be thought or desired.  Maha Lakshmi is an element of all possibilities,  completely self-sufficient at any time, and any place. It is the total potential of all possibilities. In the __expression of prosperity, the __expression of growing prosperity, it is not stagnant prosperity it is growing prosperity, growing and growing and growing. Growing up to what?

Beyond the capability of growth it grows and grows and grows. This is what is materialised in the ever-expanding universe. So, this ever-expanding value of universe and in every step of progress there is a wave of happiness, wave of happiness. Progress means successive waves of happiness. Progress is always progressive.

So, Maha Lakshmi is a basic of all progress, it is so self-sufficient in its self interacting dynamics that it creates and creates and creates itself in terms of infinite variety. Â This is the progressive fulfilling Nature of Maha Lakshmi. And in this fulfilling Nature of Maha Lakshmi, because everything is growing, growing fulfilment, the progressive Ananda growing, bliss, moving around in waves and this, what we have in this is the power of Ananda, keeping everything evolutionary.

So, we say this is organising power, Maha Lakshmi is not only the element of progress but also an element of progress, which is always waves on this evolutionary direction. Â So, this aspect of Maha Lakshmi is called Durga, action principle. Now, this action principle is the characteristic of pure knowledge. Knowledge is the characteristic of Saraswati. So, this Saraswati is present in Maha Lakshmi. Durga is present in Maha Lakshmi. Maha Lakshmi present at a point and in the unbounded infinity.

So, in this what we see is the element of Maha Lakshmi, that element is present everywhere, lively everywhere, action everywhere, silence everywhere. From this angle what we see is as the whole creation is nothing other than the _expression of Maha Lakshmi...

hanumanjie Divine
Hanuman is the first amongst all devotees of Lord Rama, and is worshipped for his unflinching devotion to God. From early morning, devotees flock Hanuman temples to worship him.

Hanuman Jayanti is an important festival in the Vedic Culture. Hanuman is the symbol of strength and energy. Hanuman is said to be able to assume any form at will, wield rocks, move mountains, dart through the air, seize the clouds and rival Garuda in swiftness of flight. He is worshipped in folk tradition as a deity with magical powers and the ability to conquer evil spirits.
A pretty Hanumanjie Video:

JAI SHRI HANUMAN-jie, Divine King of all Devotees of the Sweet Lord Hâri
Jai Guru Dev
Frank & Family

The devotees will visit temples and apply tilak of sindhoor to their foreheads from the Hanumans body as this is considered to be good luck. According to the legend Sita was applying sindhoor to her head, Hanuman Ji questioned why and replied that this would ensure a long life for her husband. Hanuman then smeared his entire body with sindhoor, in an effort to ensure Rama’s immortality.
In Maharashtra, Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated on the full moon day (pournima) of the Hindu lunar month of Chaitra. A special feature of Hanuman Jayanti is that according to some religious almanacs (panchangs) the birthday of Hanuman falls on the fourteenth day (chaturdashi) in the dark fortnight of the month of Ashvin while according to others it falls on the full moon day in the bright fortnight of Chaitra. On this day, in a Hanuman temple spiritual discourses are started at dawn. Hanuman was born at sunrise. At that time the spiritual discourse is stopped and the offering of food (Prasad) is distributed to everyone.

Jai Sri Hanuman-jie Namah

Sri Hanuman wird in ganz Indien verehrt, entweder allein oder zusammen mit Sri Rama. Jeder Sri Rama-Tempel trägt auch Symbole von Sri Hanuman. Hanuman war der Avatara von Lord Siva. Er war der Sohn des Windgottes und Anjani Devi. Er wurde auch Pavanasuta, Marutsuta, Mahavira, Bajrangabali oder Pavankumar genannt.
Hanuman war die lebendige Verkörperung der Macht von Ram-Nam. Er war in seinem Wirken absolut selbstlos und wunschlos, ein wahrer Karma Yogi. Er war ein großer Devote und ein außergewöhnlicher Brahmachari oder Zölibatär. Er diente Sri Rama mit reiner Liebe und Hingabe, ohne irgendwelche Früchte dafür zu erwarten. Er lebte nur, um Sri Rama zu dienen. Er war einfach, bescheiden und weise. Er besaß alle göttlichen Tugenden. Er tat, was andere nicht tun konnten: er überquerte mit Hilfe von 'Ram-Nam' den Ozean, verbrannte die Stadt Lanka, die den Dämonen-Königen gehörte. Er überbrachte das Gewürzkraut 'Sanjeevini', um das Leben von Lakshmana zu retten. Er führte Sri Rama und Lakshmana aus der Unterwelt, nachdem er Ahiravana getötet hatte.
Hanuman war voller Hingabe, verfügte über Wissen, Geist für den selbstlosen Dienst, lebte im Zölibat und in Wunschlosigkeit. Er prahlte nie mit seinen Tugenden oder seiner Intelligenz.
Er sagte zu Ravana: "Ich bin ein einfacher Botschafter von Sri Rama. Ich bin hergekommen, um Sri Rama zu dienen, seine Arbeit zu verrichten. Ich bin hergekommen, weil Sri Rama es mir befohlen hat. Ich bin durch die Gnade von Sri Rama furchtlos. Ich fürchte mich nicht vor dem Tod. Ich begrüße ihn freundlich, wenn er während meines Service an Sri Rama über mich kommt."
Sri Rama sagte selbst zu Hanuman: "Ich bin in deiner Schuld, oh mächtiger Held. Du hast wundervolle übermenschliche Taten vollbracht. Du forderst dafür keinen Lohn. Sugriva wollte sein Königrein zurück haben. Angada wurde zum Kronprinzen gekürt. Vibhishana wurde König von Lanka. Doch du hast niemals um irgendetwas gebeten. Du hast die wundervollen Perlen, die du von Sita bekommen hast, fortgeworfen. Wie kann ich dir meine Dankbarkeit zeigen? Ich werde immer in deiner Schuld bleiben. Ich gewähre dir ewiges Leben. Alle werden dich, wie mich selbst, ehren. Dein Bildnis wird an der Tür meines Tempels einen Ehrenplatz erhalten und immer zuerst verehrt. Wann immer Geschichten über mich erzählt werden oder über mich gesungen wird, wirst du immer zuerst besungen. Du wirst in der Lage sein alles zu tun, selbst wenn ich dazu nicht in der Lage bin.
Auf diese Weise pries Sri Rama Hanuman, nachdem Hanuman aus Lanka zurückgekehrt war, nachdem er Sita, Ramas Frau, gefunden hatte. Hanuman fühlte sich in keiner Weise erhoben. Er fiel in tiefer Verehrung zu den heiligen Füßen von Sri Rama.
Sri Rama fragte ihn: "Oh mächtiger Held, wie hast du den Ozean überquert?" - Hanuman antwortete in seiner einfach Art: "Durch die Macht und Ehre deines Namens, oh Herr." - Wieder fragte Sri Rama: "Wie hast du Lanka in Brand gesteckt? Wie konntest du dich selbst retten?" - und Hanuman antwortete: "Durch deine Gnade, mein Herr." Welch' tiefe Demut verkörperte Hanuman!
Viele Menschen wollen sich etwas für ihre Taten verdienen. Einige wollen nichts, doch sie können sich nicht dem Ruhm widersetzen. Einige wollen nichts, doch sie brüsten sich mit ihren Taten. Hanuman stand über allem. Darum ist er der ideale Karma-Yogi und ein unübertroffener Bhakti. Sein Leben ist ein Beispiel für Karma-Yoga. Jeder sollte versuchen, dass Beste daraus zu machen, indem er dem ehrenwerten Beispiel von Hanuman folgt.
Sein Geburtstag fällt auf den Tag von Chaitra Chukla Purnima, dem Vollmondtag im Zeitraum März-April. An diesem Tag verehre Sri Hanuman. Faste an diesem Tag. Lese die Sri Hanuman Chalisa. Verbringe den ganzen Tag mit Japa von Ram-Nam. Hanuman wird sich aufs höchste geehrt fühlen und dich bei all deinen Unternehmungen mit Erfolg segnen.

Alle Ehre gebührt Hanuman!

Alle Ehre gebührt seinem Herrn, Sri Rama!

Deutsche Übersetzung:
Das Shrimat Bhagavatam, von Shri Bhagawan Veda Vyasa
niedergeschrieben, sagt folgendes über Ihn:

Der Herr, in seiner Inkarnation als Shri Dhanvantri heilt sehr schnell alle Krankheiten aller Lebewesen, ganz alleine dadurch, dass Er die Strahlkraft/das Esprit selbst ist und nur durch Ihn erreichen die Dewas ein nahezu unendliches Leben. Dies macht ihn unter anderem so berühmt. Er bekommt von jedem Yagya/ved. Opfer immer einen Teil ab und Er hat das Vedische Heilsystem begründet, die Wissenschaft vom langen, gesunden & erfüllten Leben, die Ayur-Vedische Medizin des Universums.
Übersetzung von Frank Lotz
- Bhagavata Purana 2.7.22

Er ist der Schutzpatron aller Ayurveda Ärzte & Ayurveda-
Therapeuten und Ayurveda- Systeme.
Er ist eine bedeutende Teilinkarnation von Maha-Wishnu,
dem Erhalter aller Lebewesen und Ursprung allen Seins.

Es gibt die berühmte Legende aus den Puranas, der Geschichtsschreibung der Menschheit, des Quirlen des Milchozeans zu Anbeginn der Schöpfung, wo der Schutzpatron des Ayurveda Shri Dhanvantri der Welt diesen Heilschatz aus den tiefen des Ozeans hervorbrachte, zum Wohle der Gesundung aller Lebewesen. Hier von mir in aller Kürze nacherzählt aus der Shrimat Bhagavatam:
Die Geburt Shri Dhanvantris und Amrit Kalash (Essenz aller ayurvedischen Heilkräuter & Symbol der höchsten Vedischen Heilkraftpotenz).
Amrit Kalash - Nektar der Unsterblichkeit -. Dies ist eine Nahrungsergänzung die schon seit Anbeginn der Schöpfung bekannt ist und die jeder Mensch zu sich nehmen sollte. Die Entstehungsgeschichte des Amrit Kalash wird bis zum heutigen Tage in allen mythologischen Schriften und Traditionen in Asien erwähnt und überliefert: Es war im Anbeginn der Zeit, als das Universum sich noch nicht voll ausgeformt hatte, trafen sich Dewas/Götter und Asuras/Dämonen, um den Nektar der Unsterblichkeit zu schaffen, weil ihnen dies eine himmlische Stimme auftrug. Um den Milchozean zu quirlen, benötigten sie einen überdimensionalen Quirl. Nach langer Beratschlagung entschieden sie sich, dafür den größten Berg des Universums zu benutzen – den Berg Meru. Damit der Quirl nicht im unendlichen Ozean versank, brauchten sie eine Stütze. Der höchste Dewa im Universum (was die Christen Gott, die Moslems Allah, die Juden Jehova nennen) Vishnu nahm die Form einer Riesenschildkröte an, die Weltenschlange Vasuki diente als Seil, mit dem der Quirl bewegt wurde. Vasuki wand sich um Meru, am einen Ende zogen die Götter, am anderen die Dämonen, um den Quirl in Bewegung zu bringen. Zuvor jedoch wurden alle bekannten Kräuter und Heilpflanzen aus dem ganzen Universum zusammengetragen und ins Welten- Meer geworfen. Als sie anfingen, das Meer durchzumischen, entstand tödliches Gift in Form von aufsteigendem Dampf. Alle Dewas und Asuras fielen ohnmächtig um und vielen in ein tiefes Koma – bis auf Shiva & Vishnu. Shiva zog das ganze Gift zusammen & fing es in einer Schale ein und trank es bis auf den letzten Schluck aus. Sein Körper wurde zwar lila, aber das Gift konnte ihm nichts anhaben. Nach dieser Tat belebte Shiva die „fast“ toten Dewas/Götter und Asuras/Dämonen wieder. Viele Dinge entsprangen dem Weltenmeer, auch die höchste Dewi Shri/auch Maha-Lakshmi genannt, bis schließlich ein wunderschöner Dewa (Shri Dhanvantri hat in seiner Urform vier Hände: In der einen hält Er ein Muschelhorn zur Beseitigung der Krankheiten/wegblasen, in der 2.ten das Feuerrad/den Sudarshana zum Abhalten von Krankheiten, in der 3.ten das Amrita, das zur Unsterblichkeit führt und in der 4.ten die Lehrbücher des Ayurveda), mit einem Kelch in der Hand erschien. In dem Kelch befand sich Amrit Kalash, der Nektar der Unsterblichkeit.........
Dhanvantri oder Dhanvantari genannt ist der Urvater des Ayurveda, d.h. aller Heilsysteme im ganzen Universum. Sein Name bedeutet: „Erretter aus dem Schoß des Todes“ und Heiler aller Krankheiten“.

Etwas über das Amrit Kalash
In den letzten Jahrhunderten war für die Menschheit die Rezeptur von Amrit Kalash nicht zugänglich. Als Maharishi Mahesh Yogi 1980 anfing, die einzelnen Elemente des Ayurveda wieder zusammenzufügen, kam er mit einem der berühmtesten indischen Ärzte zusammen. Doktor Balraj Maharishi hatte die Rezeptur von seinem ayurvedischen Lehrmeister erhalten, der diese wiederum von seinen Vorvätern & Lehrern erhalten hatte. Seine Familie war über Generationen Hüter des Ur- Rezeptes.
Ihm wurde übermittelt, falls er eine Person kennenlerne, die das gesamte ayurvedische Wissen der Menschheit wieder zugänglich machen will, solle er an diese die Rezeptur weitergeben. So geschah es. Maharishi Mahes Yogi übertrug Doktor Triguna, dem wohl zur Zeit berühmtesten Arzt Indiens, die Aufgabe, die Herstellung von Amrit Kalash zu übernehmen und zu überwachen. Er war jahrzehntelang der Präsident des „All Indian Council of Ayurvedic Doctors“ und ist heute noch Leibarzt des indischen Staatspräsidenten.
Amrit Kalash ist für Geist, Körper und Seele kräftigend, reinigend, beglückend und verjüngend. Man nimmt es morgens eine halbe Stunde vor dem Frühstück und abends eine halbe Stunde vor dem Zubettgehen. Amrit Kalash kann noch mehr: Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen haben ergeben, dass selbst schwerste Krankheiten günstig beeinflußt werden und den Heilungsprozeß fördern. Nach amerikanischen und japanischen Studien ist es ein Mittel, das im größten bisher bekannten Umfang freie Radikale abtötet. Es hat die 500 bis 1000-fache Wirkungsintensität als Radikalfänger als Vitamin C .

Meine Empfehlung, lesen Sie das Buch von Frau Dr. Pirc „Den Alterungsprozess rückgängig machen.“ Es ist das umfangreichste Buch (kurz & bündig) mit wissenschaftlichen Forschungsergebnissen über Shri Dhanvantri Geschenk an die ganze Menschheit, das Amrit Kalash.
Mein bescheidenes Wissen zur Ehre gereicht an die Lotsfüße von Shri Dhanvantri an seinem Geburtstagsfest, den 10.11.2004 in Sundern im Sauerland/Surenland, „dem Land der Dewas“

Jai Guru Dev

Dear spiritual friends,
Shri Ganeshas Divine Birthday is today

Today the world rejoices in celebration Lord Ganapaties (Shri Ganesh) divine birth!

The Live broadcast of Ganesh Puja via Internet is on Sunday at 14.45, by Holland time (CET).
www.maharishichannel.in

Divine Enlightened One,

Live broadcast Ganesh Puja is on Sunday at 14.45, by Holland time.

I wish you really great Ganesh birthday, May The son of Shiva and Parvati, The Great Lord of Success bring you all success and destroy all evil and obstacles fro your path to Enlightenment and to highest fulfilment in every area of life.

Because this very special day of Ganesh the aspect of the Cosmic Creative Intelligence which helps in removing obstacles and hindrances is most lively in nature, may you with Ganesh blessings enhances your ability to remove obstacles in
all areas of life and increases your intellectual clarity and success in achieving all your goals.

Significance of the Ganesha Form

Ganesha's head symbolizes the Atman or the soul, Self, which is the ultimate supreme reality of human existence, and his human body signifies Maya or the earthly existence of human beings. The elephant head denotes wisdom and its trunk represents the sound symbol of cosmic reality. In his upper right hand Ganesha holds a goad, which helps him propel mankind forward on the eternal path and remove obstacles from the way. The noose in Ganesha's left hand is a gentle implement to capture all difficulties.

The broken tusk that Ganesha holds like a pen in his lower right hand is a symbol of sacrifice, which he broke for writing the Mahabharata. The rosary in his other hand suggests that the pursuit of knowledge should be continuous. The laddoo (sweet) he holds in his trunk indicates that one must discover the sweetness of the Atman. His fan-like ears convey that he is all ears to our petition. The snake that runs round his waist represents energy in all forms. And he is humble enough to ride the lowest of creatures, a mouse.

How Ganesha Got His Head

The story of the birth of this zoomorphic deity, as depicted in the Shiva Purana, goes like this: Once goddess Parvati, while bathing, created a boy out of the dirt of her body and assigned him the task of guarding the entrance to her bathroom. When Shiva, her husband returned, he was surprised to find a stranger denying him access, and struck off the boy's head in rage. Parvati broke down in utter grief and to soothe her, Shiva sent out his squad (gana) to fetch the head of any sleeping being who was facing the north. The company found a sleeping elephant and brought back its severed head, which was then attached to the body of the boy. Shiva restored its life and made him the leader (pati) of his troops. Hence his name 'Ganapati'. Shiva also bestowed a boon that people would worship him and invoke his name before undertaking any venture.

However, there's another less popular story of his origin, found in the Brahma Vaivarta Purana: Shiva asked Parvati to observe the punyaka vrata for a year to appease Vishnu in order to have a son. When a son was born to her, all the gods and goddesses assembled to rejoice on its birth. Lord Shani, the son of Surya (Sun-God), was also present but he refused to look at the infant. Perturbed at this behaviour, Parvati asked him the reason, and Shani replied that his looking at baby would harm the newborn. However, on Parvati's insistence when Shani eyed the baby, the child's head was severed instantly. All the gods started to bemoan, whereupon Vishnu hurried to the bank of river Pushpabhadra and brought back the head of a young elephant, and joined it to the baby's body, thus reviving it.

Ganesha, the Destroyer of Pride

Ganesha is also the destroyer of vanity, selfishness and pride. He is the personification of material universe in all its various magnificent manifestations.
The Grand Ganesh Chaturthi Celebration

A life-like clay model of Lord Ganesha is made 2-3 months prior to the day of Ganesh Chaturthi. The size of this idol may vary from 3/4th of an inch to over 25 feet.

On the day of the festival, it is placed on raised platforms in homes or in elaborately decorated outdoor tents for people to view and pay their homage. The priest, usually clad in red silk dhoti and shawl, then invokes life into the idol amidst the chanting of mantras. This ritual is called 'pranapratishhtha'. After this the 'shhodashopachara' (16 ways of paying tribute) follows. Coconut, jaggery, 21 'modakas' (rice flour preparation), 21 'durva' (trefoil) blades and red flowers are offered. The idol is anointed with red unguent or sandal paste (rakta chandan). Throughout the ceremony, Vedic hymns from the Rig Veda and Ganapati Atharva Shirsha Upanishad, and Ganesha stotra from the Narada Purana are chanted.

For 10 days, from Bhadrapad Shudh Chaturthi to the Ananta Chaturdashi, Ganesha is worshipped. On the 11th day, the image is taken through the streets in a procession accompanied with dancing, singing, to be immersed in a river or the sea symbolizing a ritual see-off of the Lord in his journey towards his abode in Kailash while taking away with him the misfortunes of all man. All join in this final procession shouting "Ganapathi Bappa Morya, Purchya Varshi Laukariya" (O father Ganesha, come again early next year). After the final offering of coconuts, flowers and camphor is made, people carry the idol to the river to immerse it.

The whole community comes to worship Ganesha in beautifully done tents. These also serve as the venue for free medical checkup, blood donation camps, charity for the poor, dramatic performances, films, devotional songs, etc. during the days of the festival.

During this great celebration day it is aucpicious to meditate, participate in Ganesh Puja, worship Ganesh. Take fresh spiritual resolves to receive blessings Lord Ganesha for inner spiritual strength to attain success in all your undertakings.

Don’t forget not to look at the moon on that day; remember that it behaved unbecomingly towards the Lord. This really means avoid the company of all those who have no faith in God, and who deride God, your Guru and religion, from this very day.

May the blessings of Sri Ganesha be upon you all! May He remove all the obstacles that stand in your spiritual path! May He bestow on you all material prosperity as well as liberation!
Enjoy this lovely quotes of Maharishi!

"Naturalness is the basis of effectiveness.
If one poses to be something else, one loses the charm of naturalness.
The result is that one accumulates stress.
We do not think of life – we live it.
We do not think of ourselves too much.
We do not think of others too much..
We just behave in a natural way.
Don't make moods – wonder what anyone thinks of us.
We do not live life on the remarks of others.
What others think of us is not our concern – it is their concern. …
It is important only that we radiate life.
Every individual must be a joy to himself, to his family and to his society."

" The establishment of dharma in God's creation is his Own work.
He does it. He does it again and again, either trough the automatic arrangement of His government,
He Himself remaining behind the scenes,
or by taking a body and coming to be active in the affairs of world."

Maharishi on the Bhagavad Gita,
Chapter IV, verse 8

* * * *

" Everything is possible by taking recourse to the infinite organizing power of Natural Law.
And that can be naturally achieved through the natural dedication to the "switch-on" source of Guru Dev.
Everything is possible with the blessings of Guru Dev,
because he was the embodiment of the total Light of God,the total Constitution of the Universe.
Everything is possible at any time for everyone, in a natural way,
just by taking recourse to that, the Constitution of the Universe. "

Maharishi
http://press-conference.globalgoodnews.com/archive/october/05.10.19.html

Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam discovered the qualities of Ganesh in the brain stem.

The aspects of the brain stem associated with Ganesh control the inputs
and outputs of the brain and its general level of activation and deactivation.
This explains why Ganesh is not only the remover of obstacles but also
promotes success.

Divine Enlightened One,

Dear spiritual friends,
Shri Ganesha

Today the world rejoices in celebration Lord Ganapaties (Shri Ganesh) divine birth!

Divine Enlightened One,

Live broadcast Ganesh Puja is on Sunday at 14.45, by Holland time.

I wish you really great Ganesh birthday, May The son of Shiva and Parvati, The Great Lord of Success bring you all success and destroy all evil and obstacles fro your path to Enlightenment and to highest fulfilment in every area of life.

Because this very special day of Ganesh the aspect of the Cosmic Creative Intelligence which helps in removing obstacles and hindrances is most lively in nature, may you with Ganesh blessings enhances your ability to remove obstacles in
all areas of life and increases your intellectual clarity and success in achieving all your goals.

Significance of the Ganesha Form

Ganesha's head symbolizes the Atman or the soul, Self, which is the ultimate supreme reality of human existence, and his human body signifies Maya or the earthly existence of human beings. The elephant head denotes wisdom and its trunk represents the sound symbol of cosmic reality. In his upper right hand Ganesha holds a goad, which helps him propel mankind forward on the eternal path and remove obstacles from the way. The noose in Ganesha's left hand is a gentle implement to capture all difficulties.

The broken tusk that Ganesha holds like a pen in his lower right hand is a symbol of sacrifice, which he broke for writing the Mahabharata. The rosary in his other hand suggests that the pursuit of knowledge should be continuous. The laddoo (sweet) he holds in his trunk indicates that one must discover the sweetness of the Atman. His fan-like ears convey that he is all ears to our petition. The snake that runs round his waist represents energy in all forms. And he is humble enough to ride the lowest of creatures, a mouse.

How Ganesha Got His Head

The story of the birth of this zoomorphic deity, as depicted in the Shiva Purana, goes like this: Once goddess Parvati, while bathing, created a boy out of the dirt of her body and assigned him the task of guarding the entrance to her bathroom. When Shiva, her husband returned, he was surprised to find a stranger denying him access, and struck off the boy's head in rage. Parvati broke down in utter grief and to soothe her, Shiva sent out his squad (gana) to fetch the head of any sleeping being who was facing the north. The company found a sleeping elephant and brought back its severed head, which was then attached to the body of the boy. Shiva restored its life and made him the leader (pati) of his troops. Hence his name 'Ganapati'. Shiva also bestowed a boon that people would worship him and invoke his name before undertaking any venture.

However, there's another less popular story of his origin, found in the Brahma Vaivarta Purana: Shiva asked Parvati to observe the punyaka vrata for a year to appease Vishnu in order to have a son. When a son was born to her, all the gods and goddesses assembled to rejoice on its birth. Lord Shani, the son of Surya (Sun-God), was also present but he refused to look at the infant. Perturbed at this behaviour, Parvati asked him the reason, and Shani replied that his looking at baby would harm the newborn. However, on Parvati's insistence when Shani eyed the baby, the child's head was severed instantly. All the gods started to bemoan, whereupon Vishnu hurried to the bank of river Pushpabhadra and brought back the head of a young elephant, and joined it to the baby's body, thus reviving it.

Ganesha, the Destroyer of Pride

Ganesha is also the destroyer of vanity, selfishness and pride. He is the personification of material universe in all its various magnificent manifestations.
The Grand Ganesh Chaturthi Celebration

A life-like clay model of Lord Ganesha is made 2-3 months prior to the day of Ganesh Chaturthi. The size of this idol may vary from 3/4th of an inch to over 25 feet.

On the day of the festival, it is placed on raised platforms in homes or in elaborately decorated outdoor tents for people to view and pay their homage. The priest, usually clad in red silk dhoti and shawl, then invokes life into the idol amidst the chanting of mantras. This ritual is called 'pranapratishhtha'. After this the 'shhodashopachara' (16 ways of paying tribute) follows. Coconut, jaggery, 21 'modakas' (rice flour preparation), 21 'durva' (trefoil) blades and red flowers are offered. The idol is anointed with red unguent or sandal paste (rakta chandan). Throughout the ceremony, Vedic hymns from the Rig Veda and Ganapati Atharva Shirsha Upanishad, and Ganesha stotra from the Narada Purana are chanted.

For 10 days, from Bhadrapad Shudh Chaturthi to the Ananta Chaturdashi, Ganesha is worshipped. On the 11th day, the image is taken through the streets in a procession accompanied with dancing, singing, to be immersed in a river or the sea symbolizing a ritual see-off of the Lord in his journey towards his abode in Kailash while taking away with him the misfortunes of all man. All join in this final procession shouting "Ganapathi Bappa Morya, Purchya Varshi Laukariya" (O father Ganesha, come again early next year). After the final offering of coconuts, flowers and camphor is made, people carry the idol to the river to immerse it.

The whole community comes to worship Ganesha in beautifully done tents. These also serve as the venue for free medical checkup, blood donation camps, charity for the poor, dramatic performances, films, devotional songs, etc. during the days of the festival.

During this great celebration day it is aucpicious to meditate, participate in Ganesh Puja, worship Ganesh. Take fresh spiritual resolves to receive blessings Lord Ganesha for inner spiritual strength to attain success in all your undertakings.

Don’t forget not to look at the moon on that day; remember that it behaved unbecomingly towards the Lord. This really means avoid the company of all those who have no faith in God, and who deride God, your Guru and religion, from this very day.

May the blessings of Sri Ganesha be upon you all! May He remove all the obstacles that stand in your spiritual path! May He bestow on you all material prosperity as well as liberation!
Enjoy this lovely quotes of Maharishi!

"Naturalness is the basis of effectiveness.
If one poses to be something else, one loses the charm of naturalness.
The result is that one accumulates stress.
We do not think of life – we live it.
We do not think of ourselves too much.
We do not think of others too much..
We just behave in a natural way.
Don't make moods – wonder what anyone thinks of us.
We do not live life on the remarks of others.
What others think of us is not our concern – it is their concern. …
It is important only that we radiate life.
Every individual must be a joy to himself, to his family and to his society."

* * * *

" The establishment of dharma in God's creation is his Own work.
He does it. He does it again and again, either trough the automatic arrangement of His government,
He Himself remaining behind the scenes,
or by taking a body and coming to be active in the affairs of world."

Maharishi on the Bhagavad Gita,
Chapter IV, verse 8

* * * *

" Everything is possible by taking recourse to the infinite organizing power of Natural Law.
And that can be naturally achieved through the natural dedication to the "switch-on" source of Guru Dev.
Everything is possible with the blessings of Guru Dev,
because he was the embodiment of the total Light of God,the total Constitution of the Universe.
Everything is possible at any time for everyone, in a natural way,
just by taking recourse to that, the Constitution of the Universe. "

Maharishi
http://press-conference.globalgoodnews.com/archive/october/05.10.19.html

Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam discovered the qualities of Ganesh in the brain stem.

The aspects of the brain stem associated with Ganesh control the inputs
and outputs of the brain and its general level of activation and deactivation.
This explains why Ganesh is not only the remover of obstacles but also
promotes success.

When is Janmashtami?

Janmashtami 2009 is today, 1he 13. & 14. of August 2009

Janmashtami celebrates the birth of one of the most famous Gods of Hindu religion, Bhagwan Krishna, on the eighth day (Ashtami) in the month of Sravana or Savana. Lord Sri Krishna was born on the 'Rohini' nakshatram (star). It is generally celebrated in the month of August-September according to the Christian Calendar. Legend has it that Sri Krishna was Born on a dark, stormy and windy night to end the rule and atrocities of his maternal uncle, Kansa.

Position of Stars at the time of Birth
It was only on the eighth day of the second fortnight, in the month of Sravana when, the moon entered the house of Vrishabha in Rohini Nakshatra (star) that Lord appeared. According to Barhapatyamana, the month of Sravana corresponds to the month of Bhadrapada Krishnapaksha. Lord was born in the year of Visvavasu, appx. 5,227 years ago.

Celebrated for over Two Days
Janmashtami is celebrated for over two days as “Rohini” nakshatra and Ashtami may not fall on the same day. The first day known as Krishnashtami, as the birth of Bhagwan Krishna falls on the eighth day after Raksha Bandhan, which generally falls in the month of August. The second day is known as Kalashtami.

Welcome the Lord at Midnight
It is only at midnight between the first and the second day that birth of Sri Krishna took place. The actual festivities begin during midnight in this 48 hour period. The celebration reaches its peak at midnight, with the birth of Lord Krishna, with lot of hymns, arti taking place and blowing of the Conch (shankh), rocking the cradle of Lord. The idol of lord is bathed with Panchamrit (A mixture of milk, ghee, oil, honey and Gangajal). The Panchamrit is later distributed as Prasad to the devotees along with other sweets. While some Fast on the first day and break it at midnight for others the fasting continues for both days. The period coincides with rainy season.

Birth of Lord Krishna

Janmashtamiis celebrated to welcome and enjoy Lord Krishna's birth. The birth of Lord Krishna took place when the various planets were in auspicious places. It is said that God chooses a particular time, as to when he will take birth as a human and the planetary systems are adjusted accordingly.

Auspicious Nakshatra (Constellation)
Around the time of Bhagwan Krishna's birth, Rohini Nakshatra was predominant as it is considered to be quite auspicious. This is so because it is under the supervision of Brahma, the creator of Universe. Sri Krishna was born in the month Of Sravana more than 5000 years ago.

Born in Dwapur Yug (Iron Age)
According to some scholars, Krishna was born on Wednesday,the eighth day of second fortnight in Sravana month in the year of Visvavasu around 3227 BC, also known as Dwapur Yug. July 19th 3228 BC to be more accurate. He lived for 125 years and disappeared on February 18th 3102 BC on the new moon night of Phalguna. His death was the onset of the current corrupt age known as Kaliyug.

Universal Happiness of all Forms of Life
From the time, Devki conceived Sri Krishna, she began to glow and exude divine light. The prison walls glowed with the aura of the new born infant. Atmosphere of peace and happiness prevailed all over, Forests were all green and full of trees with all kinds of beautiful flowers, rivers were all swollen due to joy, peacocks began to dance in sheer joy, people in all villages started being happy.

Objective of Krishna's Birth
The main objective of Lord Krishna's birth was to free Mother Earth from the wickedness of demons. Playing an important part in Mahabharata (legendary battle in Kurukshetra) and propagating the theory of bhakti and good karma were other important objectives.

Events Before The Birth of Sri Krishna
The people of Mathura were extremely unhappy with the wicked king Kansa who put his father, king Ugrasen in prison and declared himself the king of Mathura. It was to put an end to his evil ways and other demons that Lord Vishnu decided to take birth on Earth in human form. According to Akashvani (heavenly voice) at the wedding of his beloved sister Devki, Kansa got to know that the eighth child of his sister will take birth to kill him. So, in turn he rushed to kill his sister. Kansa gave up the idea of killing after being assured by Vasudev that he will handover all his children to him. He put them in Prison. Kansa killed all the six infants as soon as they were born. The seventh child (Balram) was saved due to divine intervention, when he was transferred from Devki's womb to that of Rohini's (other wife of Vasudev).

Events During the Birth of Lord Krishna
Lord Krishna was born in a prison cell in the captivity of King Kansa. He took birth in divine form with lotus like eyes,his palms bearing the signs of a lotus and discus. He had a swastika sign on his sole. Wearing a yellow colored silk cloth, adorned with precious diamond earrings and a crown made of emeralds. Soon after the birth, a chain of events astonished Vasudev,when he saw the gates of the cell flow open and all the guards fast asleep. He immediately thought of Nand ,his close friend in Gokul and decided to handover his child to him in order to save him from the clutch of Kansa.

River Yamuna Bows To The Feet of Sri Krishna
The night of birth was witnessed by heavy rains which led to River Yamuna being in floods. As soon as the feet of Lord immersed in the river, the flow became normal and Yamuna made way for the Lord. Sheshnag, the serpent formed an umbrella to save the new born baby from rain.

Exchange of the Babies
Vasudev kept his child next to fast asleep Yashoda and took the baby girl lying with him back to Mathura. The baby girl is believed to be the sister of Lord Vishnu.

Disappearance of The Divine Child
On hearing the news of birth of the eighth child of Devki and Vasudev, Kansa rushed to the prison-cell and lifted the baby girl to kill her despite pleadings from Devki. However, instead of hitting the stone, the child flew up in the air and announced that the annihilator of Kansa was born and in safe hands.

Krishna later grew in Gokul and finally killed his maternal uncle, King Kansa.

All Glories to Bhagavan Lord Gopala Hâri

Krishna Janmashtami, 4 of September 2007

Dieses Jahr wird Lord Krishnas Geburtstag 2 Tage lang gefeiert, wegen des
Mondstandes und eines anderen astrologischen Aspektes (Krishnas Nakshatra: Rohini)!

Die Geburt des Herrn der Welt (von Frank Lotz nacherzählt)

Die Geburt Des Herrn der Welt

Niemand könnte vom Geheimnis der inneren Lila etwas ahnen, leuchtete das göttliche Spiel nicht von Zeit zu Zeit auch auf Erden auf. Es geschieht dann, wenn die ewigen Gestalten der Avataras "herabsteigen".
Unter Avatara versteht man das "Herabsteigen" Gottes aus dem unendlichen Reich der Freiheit in die Welt von Zeit und Raum der Maya, ohne dass das Wesen Gottes sich dabei in irgend einer Weise substantiell veränderte. Es handelt sich nicht um eine Inkarnation oder Fleischwerdung. Gott unterliegt in keiner Weise den Gesetzen der Mayawelt, auch wenn Er in Sie herabkommt, noch benötigt Er eine fleischliche Hülle. Das wird von den Schriften über die Avataras ausgesagt.

Krishnas Lila Tanz mit seinen Gopis. Original-Bild aus Franks neuem Buch!

Jubel und Gesang durchhallt die festlich geschmückten Gassen der uralten Königsstadt Mathura. Eine junge Braut aus fürstlichem Geschlecht wird laut gepriesen. Sie heißt Devaki, die Göttliche. Das Volk drängt sich in den Straßen. Frohe Rufe jauchzen zu Devakis goldenem Wagen empor.

Sogar Kamsa, der gefürchtete Machthaber Des Reiches, ist heute freundlich gestimmt. Um seine Schwester an ihrem Hochzeitstag gebührend zu ehren, hält ER selbst die Zügel der Rosse Des Hochzeitswagens. Da, als der Zug sich eben in Bewegung setzt, und die Muschelhörner und Donnertrommeln schon freudig zu tosen beginnen, vernimmt Kamsa eine Himmelsstimme, die sein Herz tief erschreckt. Die Stimme höhnt ihn: "Oh du Narr! Der achte Sohn aus dem Schoß dieser Braut, die du nun geleitest, wird dein Vernichter sein." Kamsa, der auf dem Wagen steht, zögert nicht. Augenblicklich läßt ER die Zügel der Rosse fahren, wendet sich um, ergreift Devaki bei ihren Haarflechten und will Sie mit seinem Schwert erschlagen. Nur mit Aufbietung all seiner Geisteskraft und Überredungskunst gelingt es dem jungen Gatten, Vasudeva, den vor Erbitterung und Furcht bebenden König Kamsa ein wenig zu beruhigen und ihn von seiner übereilten Handlung abzuhalten. Allerdings muß Vasudeva, um Devaki zu retten, ein furchtbares Versprechen ablegen. Er muß geloben, jeden Sohn, den Devaki ihm gebären wird, sogleich nach der Geburt an Kamsa auszuliefern.

Doch Kamsa konnte von diesem Tag an keine Ruhe finden, und so ließ ER zuletzt Vasudeva und Devaki in einen Kerker sperren, damit Sie vor der Geburt Des achten Sohnes nicht zu fliehen vermochten.

Krishnas Geburt

So begab es sich, daß Devaki und Vasudeva angekettet, in einem Gefängnis auf die Geburt Des Gotteskindes warteten. Es heißt: Der Glanz, der von Devaki ausging, erleuchtete das ganze Kellergewölbe. König Kamsa war bestürzt, doch ER wagte nicht, die Schwangere anzutasten. Haßerfüllt und von Unruhe gejagt, wartete ER die Zeit AB, DA Sie ihren achten Sohn gebären sollte, um dann das Neugeborene zu töten, das seine Herrschaft und sein Leben bedrohte. So, wie die Bhaktas stets in tiefer Liebe über Bhagavan nachdenken, so sann Kamsa unausgesetzt über Ihn, voll Haß. Ob ER nun saß oder lag oder stand oder aß oder herumging, immer dachte ER an Bhagavan. Und ER sah, daß die ganze Welt von Ihm erfüllt war.

Dann kam der Tag heran, DA der Höchste Herr beschlossen hatte, im Erdenlande zu erscheinen. Um Mitternacht, in der tiefsten Finsternis, DA offenbarte Sich der lebendige Gott, so wie der Mond, der am östlichen Horizont aufgeht. Der Leib das Neugeborenen erstrahlte in der dunkelblau leuchtenden Farbe der frischen Gewitterwolken in der Regenzeit. Das überaus wundersame Kind hatte vier Arme, in deren Händen es eine Muschel, eine Lotosblüte, das Zepter der Weltherrschaft und das Feuerrad hielt. Es war in ein goldglänzendes Gewand gehüllt und Seine Haarfülle wurde von einer Krone zusammengehalten.

Voll unfaßbarer Freude badete der Vater das Kind im Strom seiner Freudentränen. Furchtlos betete ER: "O Du höchster Schöpfer! Um die Welt zu schützen und zu segnen, steigst Du herab. Du, der Du unbegrenzt von Raum und Zeit bist, kommst als Avatar in mein Haus. Du, mein Herr und Gott."

Auch die junge Mutter war von Staunen überwältigt, auch Sie pries Ihn als ihren Herrn und als Schöpfer aller Welten, doch zugleich war ihr Herz von sorgender Mutterliebe erfüllt. So flehte Sie zu Krishna, ER möge Sich nicht in Seiner majestätischen Gottesgestalt offenbaren, damit nicht Kamsa, der Schreckliche, ihn erkenne und sogleich ermorde.

Gehorsam erfüllte Krishna die Bitte Seiner Mutter und erschien nun als ein gewöhnliches Menschenkind. Der Vater nahm das Kind auf seine Arme und wie durch ein Wunder fielen die eisernen Ketten, die Vasudevas Fußgelenke fesselten, von ihm AB. Die schwere Türe Des Gefängnisses öffnete sich von selbst, und die Wächter vor den Toren waren in einen tiefen Schlaf versunken.

Durch die regenbrausende Nacht trug der Vater seinen Sohn zum Strome Yamuna hin. Es wird erzählt, daß ein Löwe den Vater, der das Kind trug, begleitete und daß die tausend-köpfige Schlange Ananta Sesa Krishna als Schirm gegen den Regen beschützte. Die rauschenden Wellen der Yamuna teilten sich vor Krishna und trockenen Fußes überquerte Vasudeva zwischen den aufgestauten Wasserfluten das Flußbett. Er gelangte ungefährdet zum anderen Ufer und betrat Vraja, das Land der göttlichen Lieblichkeit.

Das Reich der Kuhhirten lag in tiefem Schlaf. Die Hirten schliefen, die Kühe schliefen, Nanda, der König schlief in seinem Haus. Yasoda, die Hirtenkönigin, schlief an seiner Seite. Eben hatte die junge Frau einer Tochter das Leben geschenkt. Doch in traumschwerer Müdigkeit war sie nicht imstande gewesen, zu erkennen, ob das Neugeborene ein Knabe oder ein Mädchen sei.

Sanft legte Vasudeva das Krishnakind an die Brust der schlafenden Yasoda, nahm das neugeborene Mägdelein auf seine Arme und ging den langen Weg zurück quer durch den Strom bis zu den Toren des Kerkers.

Krishna und Yogamaya, das war der Name dieses Mädchens, waren immer schon enge Vertraute gewesen. Sie hatten sich schon lange vor ihrem Erscheinen überlegt, wie sie den Plan, die Plätze zu tauschen, ausführen könnten. Und so geschah alles, was nun folgte, ganz nach ihrem Willen.

Kaum war Vasudeva mit dem Mädchen im Kerker angelangt, schlossen sich die Türen und die Ketten legten sich um seine Fußgelenke. Nun begann das Mädchen zu schreien. Die Wächter schreckten aus dem Schlaf. Auch König Kamsa fuhr auf. Von Haß und Furcht erfüllt, stürmte er in den unterirdischen Kerker des Palastes hinab. Trotz des herzbewegenden Flehens seiner Schwester Devaki, die ihn bat, das kleine Mädchen zu schonen, riß er das Kind von ihrer Brust, packte es bei den Füßen und schleuderte es mit dem Kopf voran an die Felswand des Kerkers.

Zu seinem Entsetzen löste sich die Gestalt des Kindes, noch bevor es die Mauer berührte, vor seinen Augen in Nichts auf, wurde unsichtbar. Und von allen Seiten des Weltalls scholl ein Gelächter auf ihn zu: "Du Tropf, du glaubst, den Höchsten Herrn greifen und vernichten zu können? Ich bin Gottes Maya, von Ihm gesandt, um dich zu täuschen. Krishna ist in Sicherheit. Weh dir, König Kamsa, du wirst deinem Verderben nicht entgehen!"

Krsna, der Ursprung aller Avataras, erklärt hier auf Erden in Seiner ewigen Cit-Gestalt:

"In Yogamaya eingehüllt, bin Ich nicht jedem offenbar. Die Toren können Mich nicht verstehen, den Ungeborenen und Unwandelbaren." (Bg 7.25)

Krsna spricht hier von der Yogamaya, nicht von der grossen Maya der Welt. Die Yogamaya ist eine der ewigen Seinsweisen der Cit-Sakti, die Spielleiterin des göttlichen Lilas; jene Kraft Gottes, welche die Dramatik der Lila gestaltet und ins Grenzenlose steigert.

Der Wohnort jedes der Avataras ist eine eigene Unendlichkeit in Vaikuntha, dem unendlichen Cit-Reich, das immer und überall ist. Von dort steigen all die verschiedenen Avataras mit ihren ewigen Gefährten herab. Doch in Wirklichkeit steigen sie nicht herab. Denn in der Welt des unendlichen ewigen Seins gibt es ja kein oben und unten, kein aussen und innen und kein vorher und nachher (Bhagavatam X,9.13). Es wird in der Welt der Maya bloss ein Schleier weggezogen. Der überall und ewig seiende Gott und Sein unendliches Reich und Sein Spiel leuchten dann für eine kurze Weile auch im Bereich der Maya auf, der das pervertierte Schattenbild der ewigen Wirklichkeit ist.

Wenn ein Avatara zur Erde oder in eine andere Welt hinabsteigt, so nimmt Er Sein ewiges Reich mit Sich. Der Boden, den Er betritt, das Haus, das Er bewohnt, sind dann - solange Er anwesend ist - nicht mehr Erde, Lehm oder Stein, sondern Vaikuntha (cit-sakti), das Land ohne Begrenzung, wo Zeit und Raum nicht die Herren, sondern die dienenden Helfer der Lila sind.

The Masters of the Vedic Tradition have been exponents of reality from earliest ages. In each new epoch, they have propounded the enduring truths of practical living and have set out those standards by which men's lives may attain the highest achievements and fulfilment, generation after generation. On 29 July Maharishi paid homage to his Master, Shri Guru Dev, His Divinity Brahmanand Saraswati Maharaj, Jagatguru Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Badarikashram, Himalayas.

Maharishi attributes all his achievements to Shri Guru Dev, His Divinity Brahmanand Saraswati Maharaj, Jagatguru Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Badarikashram, Himalayas—most illustrious embodiment of Vedic Wisdom in the eternal tradition of Vedic Masters: 'All the differences and dissensions of various castes, creeds, and Sampradayas dissolved in his presence, and every party felt itself to be a thread in the warp and woof of society.... Such was his universal and all-embracing nature.'
(Maharishi speaking on Guru Dev to the first teachers of Transcendental Meditation four decades ago.)

Describing his first meeting with Shri Guru Dev, Maharishi once said: ' As a thirsty man arrives at a well, so I arrived at the feet of my Master. The quest of a perfect Master was there. The first sight of his personality was enough to make me surrender at his feet. He was the most highly revered sage in India and was held as the embodiment of divine consciousness . . . .'
