The Divine Mother

pureheart — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 14:00:12 +0000

The Search for the Divine Mother by Gwenael Verez

This book looks at our religion and spirituality from a historical viewpoint.

Many traditions attach great importance to the feminine dimension of the Divine. It is She who is said to give liberation, spiritual rebirth, that is to say Union with the Self. The most significant example is the knowledge of the Kundalini in India.

We may wonder why the Western religions have attributed an exclusively masculine, patriarchal character to the Divine. Several thousand years ago, was not the only form of Divinity, the object of veneration, feminine and maternal?

What is responsible for this neglect, this confiscation? Has the original message of these religions been distorted to the point that we are today unaware of the Mother-Goddess?

And could the Age of Aquarius, which is said to mark a change of consciousness on a spiritual level, perhaps be the moment where humanity is able to re-discover this awareness of the Universal Mother?

This book offers answers to these topical questions.

Chakra #7: The Sahasrara, Silence and Integration with the Divine.

pureheart — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 23:05:52 +0000

In the Sahasrara, the whole instrument is integrated. Each chakra has its place here. When Kundalini reaches Sahasrara the lotus petals open and enlightenment (samadhi) takes place. You may feel a flow of cool vibrations from the fontanele bone area on top the head. Putting our attention on this chakra can help us experience mental silence – the true meditation.

Chakra #6: The Agnya Chakra, Forgiveness

pureheart — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 19:10:41 +0000

The Agnya Chakra, sometimes called the third eye, is placed at the centre of the brain. When Kundalini passes through the chakra, our thought waves elongate so that the space between two thoughts grows wider. As the petals of the chakra open, silence blossoms in the centre and spreads outwards, pushing the thoughts to the periphery of your awareness. In thoughtless awareness, you actually feel this beautiful silence which is at the heart of creation. Just like the vibrations, this expansion of silence is a wave created without percussion. Absolute and therefore beyond causality, all you can say is that it is.

Chakra #5: The Vishuddhi Chakra, Diplomacy & Collective enjoyment

pureheart — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 05:13:03 +0000

The Vishuddhi chakra has sixteen petals, each with different qualities and functions. On the physical side, it looks after throat, arms, face, mouth, teeth, etc., so they must all be taken care of. For instance, protecting yourself from the cold, avoiding tobacco, taking proper dental care, and so on. This is particularly important for your vibratory awareness, as the nerves which register the vibrations in the hands pass through this centre.

Chakra #4: The Anahat (Heart) – Compassion & Security.

pureheart — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 04:51:02 +0000

The Anahat (Heart) is the home of Self, Soul, Spirit, Atma, all one and meaning the same. Time and time again Her Holiness Shri Mataji has told us: ‘You are nothing but your eternal Spirit.’ This centre has to be treated with the greatest respect and understanding. Pure love, which enlightens all, is the true quality of the Heart.

Chakra #3: The Nabhi – Satisfaction & Wellbeing.

pureheart — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 11:47:13 +0000

Kundalini passes first through the Nabhi chakra, piercing it from side to side. Through vibrations, after realisation, we gain real understanding of why and how a pure and righteous life should be led. We truly realise the need for Dharma. Thus wisdom grows within.

Chakra #2: The Swadisthan – Creativity & Pure Knowledge.

pureheart — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 09:28:12 +0000

The quality of Swadisthan on the right side is creativity, i.e. truly inspired thoughts, ideas and actions. The quality of Swadhistan on the left side is pure knowledge, i.e. the truly discerning and discriminating power to see the innate nature of things at a new stage in our awareness called vibrational awareness.

Chakra #1: The Mooladhara – Innocence & Wisdom.

pureheart — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:41:10 +0000

The fundamental quality of this first Chakra, the Mooladhara, is innocence, which forms the basis of every righteous (dharmic) character. This innocence is the type of quality, which is evident in babies and small children. It represents action without motive or desire for gross personal gain.

The 3 channels and Chakras.

pureheart — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 22:45:54 +0000

The effect of mental silence on health and behaviour.

pureheart — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 02:17:00 +0000

Interview with Dr Ramesh Manocha (MBBS, BSc[med], PhD) about the effect of mental silence on health and behaviour. Dr Manocha has scientifically studied the phenomena associated with the state of consciousness called thoughtless awareness, an experiential phenomenon particularly associated with the practice of Sahaja Yoga meditation. The session also features a talk by Shri Mataji from 1976.

The Spiritual Subtle System.

pureheart — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:58:02 +0000

The Subtle System is a network of channels and centers of Divine energy within us and it looks after our physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual well being.

When the fetus is in the mother’s womb, a channel of Divine energy passes through the fetal brain to enlighten it. This Divine energy gets reflected into channels and centers of Divine energy. In Sanskrit language, these channels of energy are called Nadis and centers of energy are called Chakras.
