21st Century_ Advancment and Repurposing of the Cosmic Design

(this is Work in Progress... I am working on this.. so please do not forward)
All this begun, when....
I was wondering what is happening in our times? Why the digital world? Why the need to connect and network? Why do we want to communicate? Why hope should prevail fear? Why the Quest for Divine should precede the attachment to the gross? why were there these thinkers, philosophers and Gurus? Why some of them chose a life devoid of conveniences (material comforts and luxuries)and adopted a esoteric lifestyle? It appears so difficult to me and so natural and normal to them...

What is the purpose of my existence in today's time? What is my role? What is the role every aspect of this creation plays? Why is it that i craved for the ultimate from the time i was born? and yet i had been in activities which had no direct relevance to it? Why inspite of doing nothing "religious" or socially "correct", all of a sudden, i am in the middle of a "spiritual" life? Why did i hear those voices?in my head? and BELIEVED i was born for a purpose? Everyone is.... Whats the big deal about it? Why did i meet my spiritual guide.. and at the time i met him, not earlier not later? Why did i even want to meet him? Why is my life the way it is and not the way i demanded it should be? Why is this generation the way it is? Why has the change in time created this difference? How could i accept it? Why did i make a choices i did? Why did i adopt such a life style? Why did i want to be different?  Why did i not choose to be the same as everyone else and do the regular stuff? Why am i not married? settled? having a husband, family, kids and you know... all the rest... Why do i want to preserve and transmit? When i had craved for a child.. i knew that it was only because i wanted continuity and progression.. Why was i not granted one child and instead granted a sea of humanity?  Why was i passionate about the Universe? And then met so many like minded., read works, saw films of those who ventured and attempted to answer these questions... I always was attracted (and so are many many others)  to these questions and dwelt on them. Philosophy and baffling mysteries of existence.Why this and why that...  and millions of other questions.....

People think i am crazy, too "intelligent", intellectual, weird,  high thinking and all that... They had these questions in their mind and chose not too dwell on them and rather be ignorant and choose the gross. No, no dont get me wrong... I dont think they are any less "intelligent" etc. Just that they were destined not to make these choices.

All along i keep wondering and taking unusual turns and getting amazed all along by the revelations.

The quest has been the same through ages.
It shall go on and on.. Every generation will adjust, adapt and advance it.
Technology serves it's prurpose for the same.. The blueprint is there at the base of human cosciousness. Every aspect of the manifest and unmanifest.. keeps reminding us.
Every generation finds way of preserving it and transmitting it to the next generation.

Even if all the documents get destroyed the blueprint is all pervading and remanifests.
In all that we do... Be it technology, management, movies, toys, texts, music, any art form, science, religion, war, anything.... the cosmic design is the ruler... Neither we can create nor destroy... We just serve IT's purpose in all we do.
Going from Gross to Subtle.

When transmission was discovered through wire and then it became wireless.... One day the need for the gross medium will become redundant.. people will be connected by the subtle consciousness.. Each at varying degrees, as per their evolution and needs. Each as per their tuning

You may find the video below, highly interesting.. Think it is 16 part video.. take your time...
What the bleep do we know? Down the rabbit hole. part 1

Why Yoga ?

While all the paths in Life are a path of Yoga,
Why should i learn the Science of Yoga?

Because i want money.
Because I want Healthy and beautiful Body.
Because I want to do what the superstars and super models do.
Because I want to be accepted.
Because i want to have a great sex life.
Because i want to be successful in my profession.
Because i want to be popular.
Because i want to be famous.
Because i want people to love me and accept me.
Because i want to feel great about myself
Because i want to feel great about being alive.
Because i want to enjoy the goodness of life.
Because i want the strength of body, mind and spirit to face the difficult phases of life.
Because i want to be stable and sturdy.
Because i want peace of mind.
Beacuse i want to be like those popular Guru's :)

Maybe some of these are your needs, some wants.
Maybe they are the luxury you can afford, now that one has already got all other material, emotional and mental comforts and yet .... there is that something more one seeks.

All this is as true of life, the need for spiritual evolution.

Yet... coming back to the basic question, What is it, that i seek?
Is it.... That which I am? That which is my true nature? That which is glory of existence?

Sat Chit Anand! Wow.. Why, of course i could ask that too.. no one has stopped me......

In the times where we can choose the packages we need for internet surfing, mobile connection, gift offers... we choose that which gives us the maximum benefit. What one can afford.

Sooo...  then... what can i afford? How much do i need? How much divine currency do i have??
What are the offers of Parabrahman, from which i could choose :)


Yoga offers and enables us to achieve that which is beyond the matter. It has far more to offer... I think, than one can imagine and dared to even imagine.

So then, What do i need/want/desire? Can i achieve it through the path of Yogabhyasa / Yog Sadhana???

Whatever i seek is fair. It only depends on my preparedness, to accept what i shall receive.
Hmmm.. so Yoga could prepare me, make me a worthy recipient of the boon. (And.. that's just the beginning)
Get prepared! Choose your sadhana! Do it!

Om Prem!

Path of the Heart

the path to the heart is easiest. it is about love, compassion, serve, give and take. yes to accept what is given with love. they are the offerings divinity has made to us.
Even the Divine loves us, it also worships us and gives us. You have to learn to accept and see the divinity in the offerings of life.

God is, because Man is. They worship each other.

we were born of love, of sharing and union of divinity. we were born to love, with love.
we were born as loving, tender and kind beings. In a child one sees nothing but purity and innocence. No ego, no selfishness.
The smile on a child's face breathes life into us. Their tears draws out the compassion within us. Their needs make us givers in a selfless way.
They are embodinent of purity and divinity.

It is that natural to us, right from the time we were born.
Yet with time, and the so called education, we forgot our true nature.

Science connected me right back to where i belong. In Quantum Physics, Astronomy and Chemistry i could read the subtle message of the divine. Study as we might, experiment and research, they all fell apart, because there was something that modern Science could not explain. LIFE! When the paranormal sciences and studies of the subtle energies became a need, people turned to the Spiritual Science or studies of the Tantra. Tantra is not exclusive to a particular section of any of the human race. It was studied all over the world at various times.

Love, the base of it all. How to explain for the Quest for the Divine? The only explanation is only human being has been given the ability to seek it.
The Light can be seen only in the purest state. Do you remember what you saw when you were born? Do you remember what you felt? Do you remeber the mother and her warmth?
Can you go back there to "see" and experience Life once again?
What is the way?
We pray
Show me the way from Illusion to Truth,
Show me the way from Darkness to Light,
Show me the way from Death to DeathlessNess !!

We do want to experience it once again.

Love within and without.
Divinity within and without
Light within and without !!

When we experienc e the unity of Life, when we loose fear of death.

Bade Gurji in his Mahasamadhi showed us how death never did us apart. He became a part of us. The light wiuthin us. The Love within us!

In the Dark age of Kali, the way to live, is the way of Loving and Serving Life! Bhakti Yoga, Kirtan and Mantra!

Om Prem!
