4 books which became catalyst for my Spiritual Journey

It was evening driving back from Shekhzayed after meeting was just thinking of books which I read initially which was the torch of  light way forward for my spiritual journey and which still continues today. Down the lane trying to blend both life one side deep ocean and other the complex of the complexity but still surviving with the knowledge and blending goes on. Sun's orange hue keeps the sensation as the day starts with Sun tratak ( gazing) which restarted after 30 years. My every day route through Mamzar to my nest in Al Nahda Dubai I dont miss Sun saying will see you tomorrow and he never breaks his promise for yet another enchanting day where the pineal gland reveals, you are progressing my light warrior.

Those teen days we didnt had much access of knowledge where today everything is just at tip of your finger and MagicGenie of internet. We had to rely on pure books. After reading detective and Ghost stories mind was not satissfied or will never at teens. Gods and Ghost had been most demanding topics during those days. As a privellege I had been staying at my House in Kerala Palayad alone since my eighth  standard. Even though my grandmother's house was just in front my house I used to cook my own food, as I had my hunter friends as guest. As these privacy has helped in many Sadhanas and Ghost hunting. Apart from movies reading was the major activity which flared the wild quest as minds infinite creativity was put to work.

In Thalassery those days we had DC books and Authulya apart from some street vendors. For books and new cassettes Manoj and I had to go to Mangalore or Calicut so the distance was not a problem. Sometimes during vacation Bombay now Mumbai was final resort. Have read quite books but these four books were the game changer or the spark which still has the Jumanji effect. Moral of the story is never practise wthout true Guru. And when you are ready for the knowledge your Guru appears, you dont have to churn hard.

Among many books the First book will be Practicl Hypnotism by N.D Shrimali. I think this was the Bible for hypnotism. After reading I was preparing myself to go to Jodhpur to meet this incerdible man which didnt happen. I had a three year subscription of his magazine Yantra Mantra Tantra which open myriads of realm of  sadhanas. His knowledge had no scales which blew my horns and it took quite time to believe these realm of world exsisted. So the first book taught me Tratak and basics of hypnosis and of the most Surya Tratak ( Sun Gazing ) has given me glimpse of Light Warrior and connecting me to Vallalar - Ramalingam which I will blog some other day. So Sun Gazing has made to realize and experience lot of things. In those teens controling small insects like centipede was major demonstration to my friends. So the remote controll mechanism exsisted which can be taken to higher levels. And these has helped alot in Astrology and predictions later which I have stopped now a days. This book has jewells which are virtual and only under better guidance can be miracle for common people and further you explore its vast occean. This blog is not enough to explain the beauty of this book and N.D Shrimali's knowledge.

Second book was Dr. LR Chawdhri's Secrets of  Yantra Mantra and Tantra. The knowledge first book led to explore Yantra Mantra and Tantra which in turn to Yoga and Astrology. This book was part of the exploration of the previous knowledge. The malayalam movie Atharvam was visual feast to substantiate all these books and gave further mileage. The book was divided into three parts were not that much elaborate. But we have such rich heritage and vedic knowledge which is not taught to our kids or most of them explore later or some even dont explore in their life time. Its highly volatile in nature also if not handled properly may go hay wire and bring tantrums to your life. I beleive certain things should start from childhood. We should learn and teach Sanskrit to our kids. And then the basic mantras and prayer. And also Surya Namaskar, Pranyama, meditation and include other yogic practise.  Consistent practise with competent Guru can take you to blend this in life and excel in material life.

Third book was Suman Seth's Practical Yoga. My initial yoga knowledge started with this book. Very descriptive my initial pranayama and breathing techniques started with this book. Later when joined Art of Living understood prana could do lot of things and is the must for spiritual start up. Meditation and tratak mentioned in this book gave new dimension and clear picture to continue with same sets of exercises. Simple yogic pratices to the complex proved what seers have described in the older texts some known and some still hidden. Now reached to understand Thirumoolars breathing ratio which can take you to complex level in seconds. A will to explore and consistent practise with a competent Guru take you beyond time and space. The core is same in all and multiple ways to reach.

Fourth book has been high voltage for many and still has done the same for many. Your belief is your world. What have you have experience and conceive is total product of your outcome. Yogananda's book I dont remember how many times I have read this book and gifted to real seekers. It was 25 years ago I read this book and made clear that this things can happen and richness of Indian Spirtuality. All eminent people who have tried to explore things beyond senses have visited India in search of the knowledge and attained their state so called completeness. Many have stayed in this country exploring and buillding the indepth knowledge and some have spread them across the universe. Kriya yoga was the one I got interested and tried to find and in those days first you had to do it by postal, where they will send you details by mail and tests for longer period and finally the practical will happen which I believe at that time was 3 years.  After long period of 25years I got the opportunity to learn Kriya Yoga from Dubai. All things come to you when exact time arrives. 

. So only one thing to say you can read alot to understand the subject but definetely need a guide who has gone through the paths. Guru is required if you dont want to waste time. And experiences whicn you have are solely yours. Your faith is your God. Things do happen beyond dimensions. Thanks for your precious time. All the best. Thanks for all the Gurus who exsists in different plane's

Ma Varahi & Kashi

When Landed in Varanasi airport Shankar was there to pick us. After hectic travel from Kochi to Varanasi via Hyderabad just dived to bed as early morning planned to touch the land of Kashinath where dusk sets in and the moon rises, Ma Varahi starts Her day, protecting Kashi in the tranquility of the night. Ratri Devata, who is the protector and Kshetra Paalika of Kashi was unfolding miracles. Ma Varahi's  grace us to explore Kashi. Day time is protected by Kala Bhairava, in this temple we tied a black thread which  protected us from bhooth and pretha. The priest like people sit to chant mantras and drive away the ones which has been with us earlier and black thread to protect us in future.

I had chanted Lalitha Sahara Nama lot of  times and continues to, also guided a lot to chant. Mother had always showed her glimpse in many human forms. All the crises had sublimated before her name and continues to unwrap the knowledge which lingers as experience some of which still remain undisclosed as comprehension needs the same dimension else will be termed as a psychological imbalance. 

Still today writing after Panchami of Ashada Navarathri, Ma's presence is felt within. Her grace is felt when the faith remains unwavering. From LSN  Kirichakra-ratharoodha-danda-natha-puraskrita mentions about her. Maa Varahi is the charioteer of the Kiri Chakra. Kiri means the light of creation and also it means boar. Chakra means cycle of creation, preservation and destruction. The yogi/seeker who is sincere, devoted and loving gains access to the chariot Kiricakra gains the light of knowledge of the Self. This implies the attainment of moksha from the cycle of birth and death.  It also means that the seeker leads a life unaffected by the maya(illusion) of the cycle of creation, preservation and destruction around them. She is also called Dandanatha as she holds the staff of justice. She is known as Dandini, the commander in chief of the Shakti’s for Sri Tripurasundari.

Me entering into Srividya was step by step process. Everything started with a Agasthya Mantra  which I got all out of a Blue Moon. Never Knew what it was, kept on chanting till today which slowly revealed what I am heading for. Lalitha chanting came in after meeting Sheefechi. Later understood what Agasthya mantra was doing and taking me to Srividya. Ma Varahi was leading her own way. In the Sri Vidya tradition, worship of Matangi(Saraswati) and Varahi (Lakshmi) are observed with love and reverence as they guide the spiritual seeker to the highest science, knowledge of the Self.

She is Agnya cakersvari who rules e agyna cakra. Sadhaka to raise the kundalini up to agnya cakra ,  Devi's blessings is required to move further to the sahsarara, which is the grace of the divine mother through the Sri Guru.

Sri Maha Varahi Devi, the boar faced sakthi, emerged out of the five flowery arrows of Sri Lalitha. She was made the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.Her chariot the kiri charka.t was pulled by 1000 boars, and the charioteer was stambhini Devi. So worshipping Her will give you stambhan vidya.  Her chariot had all the devatas of the devaloka, especially Sri Dhanvanatri- the God of physician and the Asvini duo – the physician of God’s. So again her energy can cure any disease. The combo effect of warfare and healing. 

If I start describing the benefits of worship and mantras this blog is not enough. Well we moved through Kashi visiting temple of deities each had their story and grace. For me Ma Varahi had sparked the light which I am still carrying. Its all indvidual inner journey where you get glimpse of these Shaktis. Aum Shiva Shakthaikya Ruppinne Namaha. Aum Shri Mathre Namaha. You search ends when you know what you are looking is within you and what ever you see outside  is the inner wave. Thank you for reading  Sudeeyam.

Kashi - Ma Varahi bless us

As I mentioned in early blog. After Global Village Season 2016 we had decided to go to Kashi and Pashupathinath Nepal. The actual journey started from Mookambika, as said to meet Shiva I should start from Devi as she is Shiva njana pradayani, a verse from Lalitha Sahsra Nama. Only Devi can guide you to Shiva or provide you the knowledge to reach Shiva. I have written here it in simple words but the has great meaning in depth. Thanks for the devine energy for being with me to explore, experience and express.

As usual, Mookambika gives the divine energy to drive ahead. I visited and took her blessings. The next day morning by Parsuram Express we started our journey first to Thiruvananthapuram to Pazhavangadi Ganapathi, then to Sree Padmanabha and to Atukkal Devi temple, which was my old circuit during 1993 frequently visited place including British Library. These temples I will do exclusive blog as they have played vital role in my praying.

We hired a cab and went to Rameshwaram day 2. For the first time, I was visiting there did all the rituals and washed my soul. I had been thinking about Sri Shankaracharya from Mookambika and same continued when reached Rameshwaram. Before leaving Rameshwaram visited Dr.A.P.J Kalaam's house now a museum opened to all. Though about some graceful stories which has divine effect in Sir APJ's life to be a proud gift to India.

Our next destination was Madurai Meenakshi. We reached there at 1pm and was there till evening as 

these places had their own glimpse of Srividya deities. Iam not elaborating as the topic is reaching Kashi. From there to see Bhogars Palani Murugan. We reached Palani around 8p.m . Went top hill and had darshan of Murugan. The air itself had the divine essence and lot devine stories reeled through mind screen giving magnanimous frame of Murugan the Lord of War. After taking his divine blessing set towards Guruvayoor, Mammiyoor, Vadakkunathan, Parmelkavu.

Vadakkunathan is place where my friend Sreejith did Shayana Prathikshanam for me, before his love and his priceless deed to rescue me from my Prarabdh Karma, nothing can replace.  Vadakkunathan 

temple has lot of tales to tell. After our prayers we set to Kochi for flight to Varnasi via Hyderbad.

When dusk sets in and the moon rises, She starts Her day, protecting Kashi in the tranquility of the night. So goes the story behind the Goddess of the night (Ratri Devata) who is the protector and Kshetra Paalika of Kashi. Ma Varahii grace us to explore Kashi. Reached Varnasi at Night. Aum Namaha Shivay. To be continued...

Vadakkumnathan to Kashi Vishwanath and Pashupathinath Nepal

It was 2017 June 24th in the land of Kashi, one of a dream for a quite a long time, have come true. Holy Ganges scooped with divine mantras sanctifying my universe within, all emotions getting drenched and could feel the liberation set forth for new journey.

KASHI
Kashi Vishwanath Temple is one of the most famous Hindu temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is located in Varanasi(ancient KASHI), Uttar Pradesh, India. The Temple stands on the western bank of the holy river Ganga and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, the holiest of Shiva Temples. The main deity is known by the name Shri Vishwanath - Ruler of the Universe. The etymology of the name Vishveshvara is Vishva: Universe, Isha: Lord; Vara: Excellent means Supreme Lord of the Universe the Parabrahman or Parameshwara as its synonyms.

The Temple has been referred to in Hindu scriptures for a very long time as a central part of worship in the Shaiva Philosophy.

 During the religious occasion of Shivratri, Kashi Naresh (King of Kashi) is the chief officiating priest. It is also the 5th richest temple in India.

The actual journey started from Kollur Mookambika. Mother had been always guiding me to the realm of Shiva as she is Shivajnanpradhayani, one who leads you to Shiva. It was a mystic start to my divine journey which turned my life and made sense to my 25 years of spiritual exploration. All started with Agasthya mantra and connections to Lalitha Sahsranama through Sheefechi a true divine mother. And chanting of Gayathri for 13 years and till now had opened many doors but things started gearing up after Lalitha Sahsra Namah - LSN chanting. Getting Srividya initiation from V.Ravi Guru gave new dimension in 2015. Within months I had 2 Mahamerus in my house one I purchased and other one I just accompanied to buy an ordered Golden Mahameru and in the end, I had to carry it and was to pay later to save one omy of friend's changing mind.

But this entry of Meru had tales where at one end the wealth and connections it brought and tales of the low tide which has been recovered half and sure to full-blown move for the crest. Well, now its time for gathering all data for permutation and combination. The result being Sudeeyam where masters of universe meet and guide us to light and we say Tamasoma Jyothir Gamaya ...... Thanks to all wonderful Souls who have been in my past life and this life to power up my visions and lead n share knowledge to liberate. In subtle Masters were guiding for this magic journey.

Lalitha Sahsra Namam 3 Learning Basics

I had initially great struggle in learning Lalitha Sahra Namam. When first I got it was in excel sheet with meaning. The Sanskrit words where so hard I tried to learn the whole thing at once which was one of the mistake made and I quitted several times. As Rome was not built in one day I started first playing audio in my car or used headphones and listened whenever I get chance to. And took 4 lines per day all together its 183 lines. Some may find it very easy who knows Sanskrit. And most of Indians its quite easy.  

Don't ever go for the benefits blindly. Do it without expectation. As the grace will come without stress and need. Then you will think then what is the purpose. Do it regularly and selflessly to  see the gradual development. Sometimes you never realize the change happening only people around you may notice the divine grace.  You may witness miracles but again don get stuck cause it will be like snake and ladder game where you again go back or some times quit the game as you may never come across ladder only snakes welcome you. 

Slowly gradually take your own time to evolve. You may come across lots of people who will come to help you. Your thinking patterns will change, there will paradigm shift. Devi with her 640 million ( 64 crores) yoginis will be helping and guiding us to a new realm. Sri Yantra or Sri Chakra or its 3-dimensional figure Mahameru which has been always a mystery for me could be decoded to some extent after learning and by her grace, you can learn everything. I dont want write my experiences as mind may restrict the possibilities of different outcomes and advanced feeling. In this path you never know what gifts and surprises you have ahead.

You can involve your partner and other family members and do a group chanting.What I have seen initially all your Karmic residues get churned and will make your life tough and will settle with time based on your prarabdh karama or previous life deeds. Once again one to one it will differ so dont consider or read others experience cause Devi has unique package for you
Do respect all feminine aspects, whether its person or animal when you do the chanting and hereafter.
This is the basic way to  start with. Let Devi enlighten you and shower her grace to all.  Once you are on track Devi herself will get you guides and guidance.  I believe  mother will not delay  to shower her devine grace to you all in one or the other way.

Benefits of chanting Lalitha Sahsra Nama

Hanuman Immortal 1

Lalitha Sahsra Namam 2 Benefits

|| Aum aim hreem shreem  shree mathre namaha ||

|| Loka samastha sukino bavanthu ||

Lord Hayagreeva is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu with the head of a horse and a human body of brilliant white colour, worshipped as "Jnanaswaroopa”, embodiment of all spiritual growth,knowledge and wisdom. Mahanavami of Navarathri and Sravan-Pournami are considered special days for the worship this deity. This year Navarathri - 29th Sept to 8th Oct 2019.

Our sages and seers are supposed to have derived their spiritual insights and extraordinary powers by the grace of Lord Hayagreeva. Lalitha sahasranama ,the thousand names of Mother Lalithambika is considered to have been taught by Him to Agasthya rishi. Pleased with his austerities, Lord Vishnu appeared before him in the form of Hayagriva. Agasthya asked for a boon that he may be told a way to liberate the people from ignorance and their sensory delusions.

Hayagriva tells Agasthya the story of the incarnation of Lalitha Maha Thripura Sundari and describes her sports. He then describes the city of Sripura, Her abode, the greatness of Her Mantra, the panchadasakshari, the essential oneness of Sri Yantra, Sri Vidya, Lalitambika and Sri Guru, and initiates Agastya into the Sahasranamas of Devi’s attendant deities. Though he described every thing so far, Hayagriva did not mention any thing about Lalitha Sahasranama. On repeated questioning of the anxious student, Agastya maharishi, Hayagriva first explains the reasons why Lalitha Sahasranama is so divine and sacred, and why it can be imparted only to the highly potent and exalted and that the reasons why it was not imparted in the first place.

This hymn was composed by Vasini and Vak Devatas -the other deities of speech, for the good of the world, according to Lalithambika’s wish. Devi said, “ Chant this hymn to obtain my favour. Those who chant it are dearest to Me. I will grant all their wishes.”

Lalitha Sahasranama is the Powerful Remedy to Cure all sort of problems in our Life and will give Bliss to the Devotee,who is regularly chanting. The benefits are endless by listing it will restrict the magnamanousity but to create a threshold energy I take the liberty to list some of them.

Please Chant atleast twice in a Week,Particularly on Friday/Tuesday. And on full moon day.

By Keeping one hand on the Fore head of a Sick Person,and if We chant “Lalitha Sahasranama” with Sincere and True hearted devotion, that sick Person, will be Alright.

Under the Holy grace of Shiva Shakthi -some of the benefits of regular chanting of Sree Lalitha Sahasranamavali is listed below;

1] This is the most favored form of prayer to Goddess Lalithambika and it is also very secret and powerful than any other forms of Tantra or Mantra.

2] Regular chanting of Sree Lalitha Sahasranama is as beneficial as visiting religious places, taking bath in a holy river, offering food, offering materials. It is an indirect blessing to those who cannot do these kind of offerings to God.

12]Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam is the form of prayer that any one and every one can chant at any time and every time. It does not matter if one could not complete it. Because each of the namam in itself is powerful and will provide all sorts of benefits. It depends on what you wish and how you go about it.

13]It is said that chanting the name of Lord Siva once is as good as chanting the name of Mahavishnu a thousand times. And chanting the name of Devi once is as good as chanting the name of Siva, a thousand times. And of which Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam is the most important one to Sree Lalitha Devi herself.

14] It is very beneficial if all members of the family unite and chants Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam once in a day in the evening or whenever time permits. A family that prays together stays together. It will bring about unity, peacefulness, clear mind to perform and by thus prosperity.

15] In homes where Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam is chanted regularly there will never be any shortage of the basic necessities of life. This is the reason why the ancient Gurus would instruct their desciples to chant Sree Lalitha Sahasra namam even after initiating them into the mantras of other deities such as Lord Krishna, Lord Rama and other Gods and Goddesses.

16] It is also to be noted that by religiously chanting Sree Lalitha Sahasra namavali, we are seeking the blessings of Sree Lalithambika, who is also called Kalima, Durga ma, Devi, Parasakthi, Bhagavathi etc, who in turns is the universal mother. And how can a mother ignore her children when they are in distress or duress or troubles of any sorts? So keep utmost faith in her and start chanting.

17] If we contiously chant 30 days you will have Vak siddhi where Saraswathi Devi will reside on your tongue. And if you continue for 180 days Goddess of Wealth & prosperity Sri Lakshmi Devi will recide in your house.

18] Each one of the namam by itself is a powerful weapon for many sorts of day-to-day problems.

Lalitha Sahasranamam can be chanted in many different ways. In Stotram form, all 1,000 namams are separated into stotrams of a few namams each and recited in this way. In mantra form, each namam is said individually, preceded by “Aum” and followed by “Namah”. When chanted in mantra form, the endings of each namam are generally changed to “e” or “yai”. Mantra form is commonly used to recite Lalitha Sahasranamam during archana. In the homam form, homam is conducted by ending each namam with Swaha: Homam is the most powerful form of offering and considered as the most revered solution for all problems of the man kind.

If we can do archana of the thousand names of the Divine Mother daily with devotion, we will grow spiritually. There will never be lack of life’s essentials, food and clothing, in a family that chants the Lalita Sahasranama with devotion.”

We cannot list the benefits as its countless and price less dont restrict you mind.
