moon of incest - Mrgashira

Ajitha Shashidhar :
Do you have any favorite character from Indian culture, mythology or history?


Stan Lee:
I've always found Brahma to be a personal favorite, for his role as a creator of everything in the Universe.

Also, I find the creation and power of Brahmastra super-weapon, exciting.

Amara Simha ceded defeat in debate, to Sancara. And soon slipped into depression.

Gathering all his literary works, he started a small fire. And fed it with his manuscripts, one after another.

Sancara heard of this, and rushed to the spot.

'Whatever has come upon you? In the name of religion, how can you deny the world of your intellectual contribution?,' he chided. 'There will always be as many streams of thought as  there are varieties in mankind.  Comparative study of differing manuscripts can only bring more clarity,' he counselled. 

But it was too late. All but one of the manuscripts, were consumed.

Nama-linga-anushasanam survived death by flames, and shines as Amara Kosha - eternal cache.

Knowledge is always of the past. Knowing is always here and now.

Past must cease, for present to be. And knowledge must cease, for knowing to be.

Knowing is alive.
Knowledge is dead.
Weda means knowledge.
Wedas cannot reach Supreme Consciousness.

So in India, we have a very strange word - Wedanta, going beyond wedas.

Knowing enlivens, knowledge is dead - Osho

A bee is referred variously as Bhringam, - the buzzer - Bhramaram, - the whirler -  Madhupam - nectar guzzler.

When used as metaphor for movements of five senses and mind, Sancara chooses the word Shat-pada - the six footed.

In his six-versed poem of Shatpadi, he prays for both Shanti and Danthi. Tradition eulogises Shankaracharya as, Shanti Danthi Boomnam.

Joy Of Being

If you can sing with love and dance with love . . .
- an ordinary activity as whirling out of love - 
. . . joy and celebration are enough to reach the innermost sanctum of existence.

Sheltered are the choice-less;  wretched are result seekers

The word Guru means heavy.

Guru is a heavy cloud, that waits for your thirst - to pour down.

Guru is a flower, heavy with perfume - waiting for you to sense it.

Guru is heavy with energy and the unknown.

Guru is heavy with the Divine - heavy like a woman pregnant.

Guru is a ripe fruit, waiting to fall - heavy.

Guru is ready to pour down - only your thirst is needed. A thirsty earth is needed.

- The Great Teaching,
Tantra: the supreme understanding - Osho
