🧵#NamamiJagadgurum Series 005

(From 1981 When Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji was Sannidhanam): The past history of the Sringeri Math proves that its Pontiffs are chosen by the will of the Divine Mother and that this pre-ordainment is no accident. Otherwise, why

should a boy in his teens go all the way and all alone, from Andhra Pradesh to Ujjain and stay with His Holiness from then on, without a day's break as student and disciple, for twelve years with no thought other than to study the sastras?

At a meeting in Calcutta he said

with characteristic humility "when I joined His Holiness, I had no thought in mind except to learn the sastras according to ancient Hindu tradition and leave the future to itself. But by the Grace of the Goddess I have been entrusted with great responsibility". And how

#Jagadguru #SriSri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji: The #Mahatmas are ever-calm and compassionate and bring about the welfare of all, like the fresh season of spring – शान्ता महान्तो निवसन्ति सन्तः वसन्तवल्लोकहितं चरन्तः

Thumb: Without me, none of the other fingers can function properly.
Index finger: I command all people.
Middle finger: I am at the centre and am the tallest.

Finally the little finger said, “I have no such unique utility or greatness as the other four. However, whenever someone puts up their hand in the Anjali Mudra🙏 in reverence to God or Mahatmas, it is me who is fortunate to have their Darshan first.”
The moral here is that 3/5

Our ancestors celebrated festivals according to movement of celestial bodies.

~Tonight—KARTIK POORNIMA, celebrated as Guru Purab.

~#Poornima— Full moon; associated with water and emotions.
~#Guru— Jupiter; associated with Yellow colour/ Teacher/ #Vishnu LET ME EXPLAIN…
2/n It’s a Lunar eclipse—when MOON closest celestial body to Earth (which science has proven causes waves in sea) is eclipsed by Earth’s shadow. Hence Moon is associated with WATER. In Odisha they celebrate BOITA BANDANA/ a boat festival today, which is related to WATER.
3/n Our ancestors not just understood ASTRONOMY but they also knew how to interpret the impact of astronomical events. Most of our Hindu festivals have a connection to MOON be it DIWALI— which falls on a NEW MOON (Amavasya) or Guru Poornima ( which falls on a FULL MOON).

How do you find true #Teacher, #Jyotishi, #Guru & #Student.

It's not easy to find Truthful Teacher, Guru & a Good Jyotishi who can guide you toward rightful, dharmik & Genuinely can give advice as this is the only relationship which carry forwarded from many birth journeys
as it has strong karma attached between both the Guru & Student from many lives of both the people, once the karma is fulfill then there is no attachment between two souls as next path is toward Moksha & Jeevan mukti. It's the desire which bound two souls via Dharma & karma
That's the reason we take birth to complete those unfinished business via either meeting a Bonafide guru, Teacher & Jyotishi because both has selfless give and take relationship toward each other one of best Example is Lord Shuru Krishna & Arjuna, vivekananda & Ramakrishna etc

I haven’t been to any college, and after failing in 11th class I never went for formal qualification.

When I thought of taking technical education at Pusa Polytechnic, I again failed. Which made me a 10th pass person, or school dropout (sounds cool these days). ImageImageImageImage
But since childhood, I have been blessed with Gurus like Shamona Ma’am, VP Singh Sir, Madhu Ma’am, Rashmi Ma’am, Joel Sir, Indrani Ma’am and so many which can’t be named.

Today on Guru Poornima day, I got an opportunity to teach 5000+ students in Dhule district to address. ImageImage
Which included those who passed 11th class, that means I was sharing knowledge to more qualified people than me.

It happened just because there were gurus in my life who taught me beyond books and I earned wisdom which I am sharing with thousands. Image

1-A constant question I receive from people is

..what is the significance of empty houses in a #BirthChart?!

Does an empty house in your chart mean, that no action will happen there?

And are these meaningless?! (1/8)

#Astrology.
2-Or does it mean that every house should have one planet?!

This is how #Astrologers look at it

Most charts have a handful of empty houses.

No chart has all the houses filled up with #Grahas. (2/8)

#AlgorithmsOfJyotish
3-Clearly, those houses that have the most number of planets in your chart

..tell you that these house significations,

..or #Bhavas will play an important role in your life (3/8)

#HappyTeachersDay2020

Perfection is a mirage. But the journey in search of perfection is a road worth traveling. Everyone from parents to spouses to children and friends, all of them have taught us something in that journey.

Continued... Long thread
#Part1 Image
Every moment is a learning experience if we keep our eyes open. Even strangers can leave with unforgettable lessons. Hence I salute everyone who has touched my life in this journey of five decades in pursuit of perfection.
#part2
I perhaps should have written this on Guru Purnima. But the idea just hadn't happened. Waiting for the next Guru Purnima is like looking for a mirage in these times. We don't have a warranty card against the pandemic. Hence it is "Happy Teacher's Day".

1-Hi!

Good Morning!

Continuing our #Dialogue on #Gems and #GemTherapy, today we shall dwell on the next two #GemStones.

#YellowSapphire and #Diamond. (1/13)

#Upayas
2-Yellow Sapphire is D highest quality Gemstone used 4 #Jupiter.

Substitute Gemstones for Yellow Sapphire are Yellow Tourmaline, #Citrine, Yellow #Zircon and #Topaz.

In my view, I have seen that Yellow Sapphire is one of the most widely prescribed Gemstone. (2/13)

#Remedies
3-Being related to #Jupiter it is bound to activate within you – the #Energy of the #Universal #Guru.

Out of the four #Vedic #Purusharthas, of #Dharma, #Artha, #Kama and #Moksha, Yellow Sapphire well and truly stands for #Dharma.

Let’s continue with the same with the discussions on some more #Shakti #Mantras! (1/21)

#mysticalastrology
2-Let’s begin today with #Klim

Klim – pronounced as #Kleem is about the wonderful, seductive #God - #Krishna

#Klim is blissful and full of #Ananda – because Krishna is #Bliss (pure #Ananda!) (2/21)

#गुप्तज्योतिष
3-#Klim also relates to #Sundari the #Goddess of #Love, #Beauty and #Transcendence

#Klim activates #Desire, #Love and #Attraction

In #VedicAstrology #Klim is used to invoke #Venus and sometimes #moon. (3/21)

#Belief_Faith_God_and_Me this is a subject , which to me is very personal and i do not dwell or share it with others; to me it is sacrosanct and it is not meant for a debate and/or a discussion; however a damn good tweet by @chittukuruvi4 got me thinking and hence this; this is
2. not going to be a long one and neither is it about religious practices as prescribed; i have always been a person who goes by what my heart says rather than the peanut brain of mine; my great grand parents/my grandparents and my parents had belief/faith and above all practised
3. what is said in our puranaas/ithihaasas; their belief and faith was impeccable, but they were also pragmatic - they have never imposed themselves on any of their siblings; my experience i have noticed - whether it be my grand uncles/aunts, my own aunts/uncles and my cousins..

1-We have been talking about #Mantras and their place in the #Vedic #Tradition.

Today, let’s dwell on the #Shakti Mantras – quite perhaps the most #esoteric and #Powerful entities in their own right. (1/19)

#गुप्तज्योतिष
2-A word of caution here.

Shakti Mantras are like an Atomic Bomb

They are extremely powerful

..and should be practiced with due consideration, initiation and guidance by your #Guru and under your full #Intuition. (2/19)

@ijyotish @shashankupadhy_

#astrologicalnuggets
3-Fundamentally, Shakti Mantras are extremely powerful, mono or single syllabled mantras.

In the higher Yogic practices they have a special usage. (3/19)

The first full moon (Pournami) after the summer solstice in the month of Aashadhi is when the #Guru(#Adiyogi) first decided to enlighten his disciples & bestowed the Sapta Rishi's( 7 sages) with yogic understanding . Hence it is celebrated as #GuruPurnima . +
3/7 * Meaning of GURU *
Gu - Ignorance
Ru - Elimination
So a Guru is hailed as someone who imparts education & transfers the pearls of wisdom attained over years to his/her students thereby removing ignorance. Our life is incomplete without a Guru. +

Two young disciples were walking in the forest when they came across a beautiful young lady sitting beside a narrow river and crying piteously.

When questioned, she said, she had crossed the river from her village on the other side to pluck flowers with her friends. They had gone back but she developed cramps in her legs and could not swim back. They promised to get help but no one came.

“Can you please help me cross?” she begged.

“No” said one, “we are celibates. Our Guru has said close contact with females is bad for our spiritual progress.”

A disciple was with the Guru for thirteen years. He thought he was a true seeker and practised his Sadhana meticulously.

Or so he thought.

#SriMSpeaks
He also accompanied the Guru wherever he went and enjoyed the special attention showered on him for being close to the Guru.

But the disciple still felt that the exalted Divine experience, he had read of, in various scriptures had not yet been revealed to him.

One day the Guru suggested that they go for a quiet walk by the seashore, just the two of them. They walked close to the sea and watched the waves.

📣 HILO sobre cómo puedes ganar en dólares desde casa (sin necesidad de cuenta gringa). Recomiendo leer desde la PC porque es más cómodo abrir los hilos, links y demás material que encontré. 📚 Sirve si estás dentro o fuera de 🇻🇪. Espero te sirva. 🙏
Ten algo claro: TODO el mundo puede trabajar por internet. No hay que tener una Macbook o dos postdoctorados. Puedes ser adicto a LoL o vender nudes. Allá tú. 🤷 Pero de eso no sé, así que les contaré sobre trabajos tradicionales, como redactar o diseñar.
No es el QUÉ hagas, sino el CÓMO. 💡 Así no seas profesional, te recomiendo prepararte con cursos o talleres (hay MUCHOS gratis online). Por nombrar algunos (ver imagen):
