Clear Your Mind

Krishna's Gita


KRISHNA’s GITA
(excerpts)

 "Whoever among devotees dedicates all acts to Me with no other thought, whoever meditates on Me, serves Me, worships Me, remembers Me; know that I am always with him, ever providing for him in this world and the next; I bear the burden of his yoga-kshema. Do you hear Me?" asked Krishna, patting Arjuna again on the back and imparting courage to his drooping heart.."

This most sacred sentence is as the navel to the Gîtâ body. The navel of Vishnu was the place where Brahmâ took birth; this sloka is the navel or place of nativity for those who thirst for brahma-jñâna. If this
 sloka is followed in practice, the entire Gîtâ can be understood." 

“The devotee can tie up the Lord with his prema; by eka-bhakti that overpowers his egoism. When man is full of this type of bhakti, the Lord will Himself bless him with everything he needs; His grace will fulfill all his wants. Remind yourself here of the promise made by the Lord in the Gîtâ: yoga-kshemam vahâmyaham, I carry the burden of his welfare."

“The words yoga and kshema used by the Lord mean: yoga, acquisition of something desirable; and kshema, the preservation of what is thus acquired. The discipline by which you can preserve it is: Ananyâh cintayantah, exclusive meditation on the Lord. That will cleanse the mind; it will make you a bhakta. The bhakta is recognized by these things; he talks of the Lord; he sings of the Lord; he sees only the Lord; he works and spends his leisure with the Lord."

“The Gîtâ ddescribes genuine dhyana as: "Those persons who adore Me without any other thought and feeling."

Rushing Through Life

Rushing through life causes you to miss the full experience of the moment. As man travels the road of life, he often tells those around him of his troubles and his wishes for the future. His mind is so engaged in trouble and his future that he is not focused on those around him. And, in turn, those around him are in their minds thinking of their own troubles and future events and only half listening. In this way one seems to always be waiting for his life to happen and the present moment slips by without one fully alive within it.

Let us more and more search for the understanding that the present moment is all we have. Let it be honored as your most precious life’s blood. Be joyous in the moment. Be rightfully focused on where you are in the present as to your thoughts and your actions. Surrender every moment to The Lord and join Him in co-creating a life of Divine Love expressed as God within everyone and everything.

I wish for you all a glowing, glorious life filled with present moments of joy and wonder that life has been freely given to you to know God who is Love expressed in everything in creation. Let you be creatures of habit of being fully alive in the present radiant, glorious moment that is life, Itself !

May God bless each and every one of you,
In His Holy Name,

MAHAVATAR  BABAJI

What Do We Have To Offer God

Our planet and all its creatures were created through love and are sustained by love and will go back to love. May everyone on Earth experience that joy, happiness and oneness with God! My mission is to assist people in realizing the divinity within them. What we all have to offer God is to seek Him; He has everything else.

Sri Swami Vishwananda - Happy Birthday 13 June 2014

HAPPY  BIRTHDAY

SRI  SWAMI  VISHWANANDA
JUST LOVE

Sri Swami Vishwananda­
Happy Birthday 13 June 2013

Love is His Mantra and it fills His Divine Heart.
Opening the Hearts of everyone to this Divine Love
Is His mission sent from The Lord, Himself.
Teachings of all spiritual traditions flow
From His lips freely and are offered upon
The altar of hearts for experiencing
Divine Love and Devotion

His Heavenly, beautiful smile and
The beauty of His face cause one’s heart
To seemingly skip a beat, at times.
When one kneels in front of Him, one can feel:
“Truly, as surely as I have looked upon His face,
I have seen the face of God !”

When He places His chandam blessed thumb on one’s forehead
And His hand behind one’s head in Darshan blessing
As one looks into His eyes, which embody eternity,
One feels Divine Love and the Heart
Opens to receive what He is giving — Just Love.

If one surrenders everything to Him, by the
Grace of God, one reaches liberation through
Many lifetimes on the spiritual path, which
Bring you to this grand opportunity.
Don’t waste this chance, but rather embrace
Him in your heart and fly
Into the dimension of Love’s freedom
Carried upon the mystical wings of
His Celestial, Magnificent Love.

Swamini Vishwalakshmianandama

Take a step
And I will help you get there.

"Babaji" Just for Fun

BABAJI

Songwriters
Davies, Richard / Hodgson, Roger

Begin Video of  Song Below and then read the lyrics as you listen.

All of my life I felt that you were listening
Watching for ways to help me stay in tune
Oh, Lord of my dreams, although confusion
Keeps trying to deceive,
Oh what is it that makes me believe in you?
Oh I know, I know, I know, I know.

Babaji, Oh won't you come to me?
Won't you help me to face the music?
Bring it out so we can sing it out
Help us to find it before we lose it.
At night when the stars are near
And there's no one to keep you from coming here
And there's no one to shield me before your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know? I tell you.

I can see it's not too good to me
To be afloat in the sea of glory
Babaji, oh how you comfort me
By showing me it's a different story
Your light in the dark is real
And I know that you know it is how I feel
When I see the reflection that's in your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know?
Oh, Oh, can't you here me? Oh, Oh.

Babaji, have you a song for me
To tell the world of it's guardian angel
Well, bring it out so we can sing it out
Oh must you always remain a stranger
At night when the stars are near
And I long for delusion to disappear
Then I see the reflection that's in your eyes
Is it time, is it time, is it time
Is it time, is it time, is it time, is it time to know?

Oh, Oh, I said calling you, "Babaji, Babaji"
I said calling you, Babaji, Babaji, 
Oh, Oh, Sing, Babaj, Babaji.
Oh can you here me, Babaji, Babaji?
I told you, calling you, Babaji, Babaji,
Calling you Babaji, Oh, Oh, Oh.
I said, Babaji, Babaji, Babaji
Sing, Babaji, Babaji, Babaji; Babaji, Babaji Babaji.

Your Words Came True

Mahavatar Babaji and Sri Swami Vishwananda behind Babaji
Laksman's Photo of Babaji at
His home in Mumbai, India
Divine Swamini Vishwalakshmianandama,
(Was taken aback when I read he addressed me as “Divine,” but then I remembered—we all are Divine ! -Swamini Lakshmi)

Laksman from Mumbai, India emailed this interesting email today:

Jai Guru Dev! Your Words Came True

Would like to share with you a few interesting events which have taken place in the past few days:

1. I have here a bed room Hall apartment. In one of my rooms, I have a big photo of Mahavatara Babaji, 3 ft by 2 ft. in Kodak Metallic Photo finish ( have attached the photo ). I have taken much care to see BABAJI looks so lively and verily, I shared this with you earlier. He is my guardian forever, and also head of my family, who loves, directs, cares, and protects all of us.
The room is covered on one side with big Glass-sliding windows. Beyond the windows, in the parapet wall, my wife keeps some plants in pots.  Interestingly, in the last two weeks, we noticed some unusual visitors – initially we used to see a beautiful nightingale with a red tail, making a unique noise. In the last week we saw a nightingale couple as if they had come to pay  their obeisance to Babaji through the glass windows. First, I thought I was just imagining, (aftermath of reading your article last week). (Link: http://virtual-babaji-vishwananda.blogspot.com/2014/05/mountain-peak-experience-with-mataji-in.html ) I saw both my wife and daughter were also enjoying the birds without knowing its subtle significance. I asked my daughter to take a picture with her I-phone, but she could not capture them as they flew away. I have been waiting for the past 4 days to see both of them. Somehow I was not lucky to have them captured.

2. Today when I was in my living room, watching the TV, all of a sudden my wife pointed her finger towards the sliding-glass windows near my PUJA altar. We saw a beautiful nightingale trying to enter through the glass windows. We were just watching it and it flew away. Since I had been working in my computer in the other room, I went back to check my mobile for any missed calls. Surprisingly, there were 2 missed calls from my Atma Kriya Teacher, Ratnadevi. Earlier, I had asked her if it is possible, I would love to speak to SatGuru Sri Swami Vishwanandanaji. She called me to say Guruji is around (Guruji is in India and I am in Mumbai, India), she would connect me to Him. Her calls came in at the same time we were watching the nightingale.

She connected me to GURUJI ! I SPOKE TO GURUJI! I HEARD HIS LOVELY VOICE! I WAS THRILLED WHEN HE CALLED ME, LAKSMAN! He recited OM NAMAO NARAYANA in my right ear!

He said to ask him if I had questions! When Guruji was so close to me I had nothing to ask. During our talk, I asked Guruji whether he would visit Mumbai (Guruji is now on the east of India and I am in  Mumbai , on the west coast). Instantly, Swami’s reply came. He would be in Mumbai the day after and Guruji said He would call me when He is in Mumbai so that I could meet HIM in Mumbai! He also told me that he will take my number from Ratnadevi !

Incidentally, today I have completed reading the book JUST LOVE ! This has coincided my completing the book and I got the gist of the book in its real sense:  “THE ESSENCE OF EVERYTHING IS JUST LOVE – THAT MESSAGE I GOT TODAY FROM THE EPITOME OF LOVE [Swami's call].“ I am still in my dream as I just could not believe the chain of events that have taken place.

Namaste,
Laksman With love, gratitude

Although Laksman was not fortunate to capture a picture of his Nightingales, here is one that is particularly beautiful. Nightingales have different colored feathers in different parts of this world.
