Wishing all my blog readers a very Merry Christmas and Happy holidays! May the spirit of Christmas always fill our hearts and Souls! Now to the post. Wishing everyone Happy holidays!

The story of Jesus Christ depicts how a Master through his own life shows the world how to live a life. Many times in our rush to do something and become something we forget a major part of living. When this part is lost, our life becomes too mechanical and robotic. We have discussed this many times in our posts. Living from our heart. Heart is the place where our inner divine resides. When we just live from our mind, this deep grounding to something greater than us is lost. Many Masters have w

Hello all, Namaste! I want to let my blog readers know about my new website- swaroopa.net. Very simple id, not the complicated blog id address. Now to the post. Last week, we were discussing how belief and faith are two very different concepts. Many times we as humans end up thinking it denotes the same thing. For belief the guidance comes from outside and for faith the guidance comes from within. But does that mean we should only listen to our within and ignore every thing that is happening outside? When a tornado is coming to hit us, should we take shelter or not? So, the outer reality also is very important. This is where the concept of Gaia comes. The Earth mother! In many cultures and religions, the Earth is treated as a mother, Goddess or an entity. As I know Hinduism more, let us look at Hinduism. In the current Hinduism, Earth is depicted as Bhoomi or Bhauma devi. She is thought to be kind, compassionate and all loving.  She is considered the consort of Vishnu, the pre

Hello all, Namaste!   I want to let my blog readers know about my new website- swaroopa.net. Very simple id, not the complicated blog id address. Now to the post. Last week we discussed how we have to break the box of our own ancestral, social, cultural and familial conditioning to become truly who we are. No, it is not easy. These patterns we carry through life times or if it is in the family through centuries. Many times we don't even know whether a thought process is our own which we acquired through our experiences or whether it is coming from an ancestor who lived a few centuries ago.  Subconscious mind: Many of these are subconscious in nature. The only way as a person we can access the subconscious mind is through feelings, meditation, dream or sleep. In that dream and sleep are out. Yes, we can dream. But we cannot choose what to dream, when to dream or how to dream. We cannot control it. Now, sleep. We can sleep and lie down. But we have no control over, when we s

Hello all, Namaste!   I want to let my blog readers know about my new website- swaroopa.net. Very simple id, not the complicated blog id address. Now to the post. Last week, we discussed how we need to break the box of familial and social conditioning to keep ourselves free to live from our Soul's authentic perspective. Is it an easy task? No, the mind would try to interfere many times. As we have discussed before, the subconscious mind is a power house. Anything that is etched into it sometimes takes decades to be rewired. We as a human comes with deep conditioning even from our own ancestral DNA.  Ancestral patterns: It is not necessary, our ancestors were a fantastic bunch with impeccable characteristics. They have gone through deep and desperate circumstances. Many times they had to fight elements, nature and wild animals. At that time extreme aggressiveness would have been an asset to save the clan or the family. But that anger and rage would have gotten etched into o
