#Hindu Funerary Monuments:
Ordinary Hindus are cremated after their #death except for the saints. According to religious traditions, they are buried, and their shrines are called #Samadhi. The term Samadhi in #Hinduism also refers to an elevated state of mental awareness. 1/ Pic - Rajesh Avhad
Death by Samadhi usually involves inhumation rather than cremation on a pyre. However, samadhi memorials may or may not contain the remains of the deceased. This ritual occurs in 3 stages- taking Samadhi, the burial of the body, and site construction. 2/
The belief is that body of a saint or guru should be preserved as a symbol of sacred power. In this context, the #Hindu memorial is similar to the #Buddhist stupa, where relics of Buddhist teachers are buried and worshipped. 3/

1-What is the #Philosophy of #Japa and why is it important for #Sadhana?

What Is Japa?

2-In this Kali Yuga or iron age when the physique of the vast majority of persons is not good,

..rigid Hatha Yogic practices are very difficult.

Siva Sutra 1.3 Yonivargah kalasariram
"The universe is the product of the energy of illusion & its classes, direct/indirect- responsible for the rise of one's body & own individual world".
That is to say, when one is limited in action/knowledge-that is called yonivarga. (1/4)
Kalasarira is the embodiment of actions. Every action impacts your knowledge, mind & thoughts leaving an impression. Kala means being bound to a particular time, space and form.

Earlier We concluded that the word Caitanya means the complete freedom of universal consciousness...
Because of the impurity (anavamala), which is limited action/knowledge, Caitanya is lost & absorbed in attachments of objects. This along w the limited ego unites with sense organs & 3 Gunas (tendencies-sattva/rajas/tamas), results in 'Universal I' perceived as 'individual I'...

3-Once there was a #King who couldn't sleep.

It's not uncommon for kings have so many things to worry about.

Most rulers even today will look for a woman, or a drink, or some amusement to divert themselves when they have #Insomnia. (3/16)

Start with #desire.

One has to begin with desiring something that cannot be achieved by desiring. But if you are aware of this fact - if you are aware of the fact that you are desiring something that cannot be desired - it helps. At any moment, you can take the #jump.
With the #mind we cannot understand anything which is effortless. Mind means effort. The faculty of the mind is to do something; it is an instrument for doing. The very faculty of mind is to #achieve something, to gain some desire.
You cannot begin with no #desiring. The mind will make this non-desiring also the desired object.

The mind will create new desire and say, “Okay, I will try not to desire.” It will say, “Really, it looks fascinating. I will try to do something so that this no desiring happens.”
