Types of Surrender...


How many types of surrender are there ?

Surrender is of six kinds.

    1) Accepting things favourable for devotion.

    2) Rejecting things unfavourable for devotion.

    3) Maintaining the conviction that God will certainly protect us.

    4) Maintaining the mentality that GOD alone is one’s sustainer.

    5) Offering everything to the Lord.

    6) Humility.


Each of these six types of surrender is further divided into three categories : Bodily, mental, and verbal.

[Yoga] - The Yoga of Sorrow



Arjuna's sorrow in the Bhagavad gita is symbolic of all humar suffering. It is out of sorrow and suffering that man becomes interested in philosophical matters and begin his spiritual journey. This may not happen universally, but in most cases it does.

Our experiences repeatedly prove that sorrow is the inseparable companion to man, his eye-opener, his true teacher of philosophical truths, without which perhaps he would remain spiritually ignorant.

Suffering puts our egos in their place and forces us to turn to God for help, just as Arjuna, the great warrior turned to Lord Krishna for help and guidance. In the following first four essays we will analyze and discuss the spiritual significance of Arjuna's suffering and its outcome in the light of the teachings of the Bhagavad gita. The remaining essays also deal with the problem of suffering from other perspectives.

You are not the Body -You were never born & you'll never die



What is meant by birth and death? To assume a body is birth and to cast off the same is death. It is out of delusion that man experiences the dualities of birth and death. When we inhale with the sound 'So', the life principle enters our body and when we exhale 'Ham', it goes out. Every moment, this process of inhalation and exhalation reminds us of our inherent divinity - 'So-ham' (I am God). So long as there is life-breath, the body is considered to be Shivam (auspicious). Once the life-breath ebbs away, it becomes Shavam (corpse). Both birth and death are related to the body and not to the life principle. Man experiences birth and death because of his body attachment. He will be released from the cycle of birth and death only when he gives up body attachment and surrenders himself completely to the Will of God.

[Yoga] - Meditaion Chakras, Kundalini and Consciousness

Charkras are centers for our consciousness; they are wheels for the train of life. By concentrating on them, I can make them strong and healthy. Everything emanates from the center and goes back to the center. When a point extends it becomes a circle. When I extend my center i.e. my consciousness, then my inner space spreads out in a circle inside me and out of me it spreads into my surrounding. When I grow in my qualities, my surrounding also grows in its qualities.

There is nothing special to do. Just be silent, centered in yourself, watching the Mandala, see the movement, remember the text and be aware of your feelings, of your thoughts. Chakra are commonly described, as above, as energy centers in the spine located at major branchings of the human nervous system, beginning at the base of the spinal column and moving upward to the top of the skull. Chakras are considered to be a point or nexus of metaphysical and/or biophysical energy of the human body.
Seven Energy Circles defined below:



The following primary chakras are commonly described:

1. Root (Sexual)-Chakra (Muladhara >>lower body)
2. Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana >> Reproductive parts)
3. Solar Chakra (Manipura >> Navel)
4. Heart Chakra (Anahata >> heart)
5. Thought Chakra (Vishuddha >> throat)
6. Mind Chakra (Ajna >> eyebrow or forehead)
7. Crown Chakra (Sahasrara >> top of head)

KUNDALINI: Kundalini is the life-energy, the vital-force, the holy spirit, the universal power. This power is everywhere. It functions in the chakras and is always flowing up and down through all chakras. Through concentration on its flow it can become so strong and healthy that it never loses its power. Most of this power we don’t use, it is sleeping.

CONSCIOUSNESS : When I understand my life, when I am able to use my energy in the right way, then I will be like a star, clear and bright, shimmering and pure.
“The star shines in the night and gives happiness. I am a star in my world.”
