moon of rising consciousness

There are no 2 different forces in the world.
Only the directions are different.

Quite like climbing up or down a flight of stairs.
Both heaven and hell are on the same stairs.

Occasionally, a few people turn back and find their heaven - when their life energy retracts inward and rises upward.

It all depends on orientation of one's mind.
Violence is downward flow.
Non-violence is upward.

- Violent minds harbour uneasiness - OSHO.

Bhrgu to Varuna : O great one, whatever is this 'Truth' ?

Varuna replied,
It is food
it is prana, the life force
it is the seeing in eyes 
it is hearing in ears
it is mind, it is speech
In intensity, cognize Truth
Intensity is Truth

Bhrgu became intense.

moon of BhAdrapada

Just as water finds it's own level, Uma - Hymawathi gravitates towards the Divine - quite by her own nature.

That is the meaning of the word 'Uma Hymawathi'.

Flowing and abiding in the state of Maheshwara, with little effort.

There are references to King Aryaraja - 300 BCE - who used to worship a lingam of ice, in Kashmir.

Rajatarangini - Book VII, Vrese 183 - refers to Amareshwara or Amarnath.
Queen Suryamathi, it is believed, offered tridents, bAnalingams and other sacred objects to the temple, in 11th Century CE.

Rajavalipataka of Prajna Bhatta has detailed references to the cave Amarnath pilgrimage.

nAga panchami

Samskrit words Sarpa and Naga are synonyms for snakes.

Sarpa means a serpent - a  single headed snake.

NAga means, a snake with many heads.

As one knows, a human mind is a multi faceted entity. It is hived, has many attributes, partitions and layers. 'NAga' therefore, is metaphor for 'mind'.

An outwardly oriented mind, is a snake with raised hood and trailing body.

An inwardly turned mind  is engrossed in the self.
A many headed snake, with its hood of attention, turned around.
Such a NAga  is seat or couch for the self.

-Swami Chinmayananda Saraswati
