Ma’s Teaching in Her own words
This body tells of one sovereign remedy for all ills: God.
1. Trust in Him
2. depend on Him,
3. accept whatever happens as His dispensation,
4. regard what you do as His service,
5. keep satsang,
6. think of God with every breath, and
7. live in His Presence.
8. Leave all your burdens in His hands and He will see to everything; there will be no more problems.
All this, which is His creation, is under His dispensation, in His Presence, and is verily He Himself. In whatever state He keeps anyone at any time, it is all for the good, for verily everything is ordained by Him, and is of Him. Relative happiness, which is happiness depending on anything, must end in grief. It is man’s duty to meditate on God Who is peace itself. Without having recourse to that which aids the remembrance of God, there can be no peace. Have you not seen what life in this world is? The One to be loved is God. In Him is everything--Him you must try to find.
To a human being the most noble, irreproachable line of conduct should alone be acceptable. It is a matter of great rejoicing if anyone strives to mould his life upon this pattern. Only actions that kindle man’s divine nature are worthy of the name of action, all the rest are non--actions--a waste of energy.
Any line of behavior that fails to quicken the divine in man should be eschewed, no matter how enticing it might appear; but any that helps to awaken man’s inherent divinity must be resolutely adopted, even though it be seemingly uninviting. Man’s calling is to aspire to the realization of Truth, to tread the excellent path that leads to Immortality.
What appears delightful to the senses later develops into a hotbed of poison, generating inner turmoil and disaster, for it belongs to the realm of death.
In whichever direction you may turn your gaze you will find One Eternal Indivisible Being manifested. Yet it is not at all easy to detect this Presence, because He interpenetrates everything. As a King is known by his majesty, as fire is known by its heat, so the Unmanifest reveals Himself through the world of manifestation. The analysis of the substance of all created things, if carried sufficiently far, will lead to the discovery that what remains is identical and equally present in all creatures: it is He, it is That, which is styled as Pure Consciousness.
If in the midst of the diversity of the world of appearances you make a sustained effort to do all your work as a faithful servant of the Almighty Father of the Universe, love and devotion for Him will awaken in your heart. As the confining prison walls of the ego are broken down, you will become more and more persistent and wholehearted in your pursuit of Reality. Then all the manifold pictures you perceive will merge into one single picture and all your divergent moods and sentiments will be engulfed in the one great ocean of Bliss.
1. First of all it is necessary to become acquainted with Him Whom you wish to invoke. Constantly think and talk of Him, look at his pictures, sing His praises or listen to sacred music, visit places of pilgrimage, seek solitude or associate with the holy and wise, so as to become familiar with Him.
2. When this has been achieved, you may call Him “Father” or “Mother”. Some relationship of this kind has to be established with Him, because people of the world do not feel affinity unless their bond is defined in such a manner. You are accustomed to ties of kinship in worldly life; this is why you have to bind yourself by some sort of relationship in the spiritual field as well. Even though at the start you may not feel deep devotion, learn to invoke Him unceasingly and with perseverance by repeating His Name, or by any other method, until gradually He will fill your heart. However, prayer, meditation, alms offered in His Name, and so forth, are necessary even after the bond of love has been forged, so as to keep it unimpaired. In this way the awareness of Him will become your second nature and never leave you to your last breath. This is what is termed communion with God.
3. Listen! Do not let your time pass idly. Either keep a rosary with you and do japa; or if this does not suit you, at least go on repeating the Name of the Lord regularly and without interruption like the ticking of a clock. There are no rules or restrictions in this. Invoke Him by the Name that appeals to you most, for as much time as you can--the longer the better. Even if you get tired or lose interest, administer the Name to yourself like a medicine that has to be taken. In this way you will at some auspicious moment discover the rosary of the mind, and then you will continually hear within yourself the praises of the great Master, the Lord of Creation, like the never ceasing music of the boundless ocean; You will hear the land and the sea, the air and the heavens reverberate with the song of His glory. This is called the all--pervading Presence of His Name.
4. Silent japa should be engaged in at all times. One must not waste breath uselessly; whenever one has nothing special to do, one should silently practice japa in rhythm with one’s breathing. In fact, this exercise should go on continually until doing japa has become as natural as breathing.
5. It is of great value to read sacred texts and books of wisdom. Speak the truth. Bear in mind that God’s Name is He Himself in one form; let it be your inseparable companion. Try your utmost never to remain without Him. The more intense and continuous your efforts to dwell in His Presence, the greater will be the likelihood of your growing joyful and serene. When your mind becomes vacant, endeavor to fill it with the awareness of God and His contemplation.
6.The Supreme Father, Mother and Friend--verily God is all of these. Consequently, how can there be a cause or reason for His Grace? You are His, and in whatever way He may draw you to Him, it is for the sake of revealing Himself to you. The desire to find Him that awakens in man, who has instilled it into you? Who is it that makes you work for its fulfillment? Thus you should try to arrive at the understanding that everything originates from Him. Whatever power, whatever skill you possess----why, even you yourself----from where does everything arise? And does it not all have for purpose the finding of Him, the destroying of the veil of ignorance? Whatever exists has its origin in Him alone. So then, you must try to realize your Self. Are you master even of a single breath? To whatever small degree He makes you feel that you have freedom of action, if you understand that this freedom has to be used to aspire after the realization of Him, it will be for your good. But if you regard yourself as the doer and God as being far away, and if, owing to His apparent remoteness, you work for the gratification of your desires, it is wrong action. You should look upon all things as manifestations of Him. When you recognize the existence of God, He will reveal Himself to you as compassionate or gracious or merciful, in accordance with your attitude towards Him at the time--just as, for example, to the humble he becomes the Lord of the Humble.
7. Through breath energy, Consciousness pervades Matter. Everything that is alive breathes. When breath stops, you die. Physical life depends on breath. Through Prana, matter becomes alive. Desires and wandering mind make the breath impure. Therefore, I advise the practice of concentration on breathing combined with taking any one of God’s Names. If the breath and the mind become one--pointed and steady, then the mind expands to infinity, and all phenomena are included in that one all--inclusive point. If you think of God with the breath it will purify the prana, the physical sheath and the mind. If you breathe while thinking of God’s Name, you will feel the call of His grace.
The Self, or God is unknowable to the ordinary intelligence, but He is not unknown to us as the life--breath. If one uses the rhythm of one’s breathing as a support in meditation, this increases one’s power. Therefore, one should daily sit in a meditative pose in a solitary place and turn the mind inward, and repeat the mantra in rhythm with one’s breathing, without straining, in a natural way. When through prolonged practice, the Name becomes inextricably linked with the breath, and the body is quite still; one will come to realize that the individual is part of the One Great Life that pervades the Universe.
I say to you that I am a little child and you are my parents. Accept me as such and give me a place in your hearts. By saying “Mother”, you keep me at a distance. Mothers have to be revered and respected. But a little girl needs to be loved and looked after, and is dear to the heart of everyone. So this is my only request to you: to make a place for me in your hearts!

Bhakti versus ( all other known paths)
All paths have 1 goal . To realize infinite.
Man is made up of body and soul.
It is obvious that as one goes towards that infinite, changes occur at body and soul level.The change is simulatenous and must happen ,if at all ,it happens in either sphere of body or soul
All paths focus indirecty or directly on body level changes which leads to soul level changes
for eg. Controlling breath leads to control of mind which leads to awareness of self which leads to atma gyan
Bhakti focus directly on soul level. Infact it focus on soul of soul level whereby changes at soul level and at body level are natural consequences
This makes Bhakti the most natural way of progression.
The essence of Body is soul
The essence of soul is formless super soul (Bhram/Parmatma)
The essence of formless super soul is formful super soul ( Bhagvan)
The essence of formful super soul is pure divine love (hlandini Shakti)
So we ,being part of this essence of essence, a drop of this , excites , alerts us at all levels
Hence devotion of this pure divine love is the most natural way.
I am not elaborating as my blog is a substitute of my personal notes meant for my understanding and reference.I am not supposed to publish to the world as i am not qualified to write on this topics for other consumption.

My country : India
Great is the nation which got its independence not by violence but with non-violence.
Great is the nation which had a great saint as its father of nation
Great is the nation which has an ancient history when other nation were not even formed
Great is the nation which is the center of universe
Great is the nation which was in past called "Golden Bird"
Great is the nation where all branches of knowledge where developed to the extent that no further development was possible.
Where is that great nation gone?
Where is that non-violence power gone?
Where is that great saint gone?
Where is that pride in our ancient history gone?
ah.
Great is the nation which had a great saint as its father of nation
Great is the nation which has an ancient history when other nation were not even formed
Great is the nation which is the center of universe
Great is the nation which was in past called "Golden Bird"
Great is the nation where all branches of knowledge where developed to the extent that no further development was possible.
Where is that great nation gone?
Where is that non-violence power gone?
Where is that great saint gone?
Where is that pride in our ancient history gone?
ah.

Prarabdh is also destroyed at the time of God-realization
The verse below reveals the truth that , at the time of God realization, the remaining fate ( prarabdh) of a selfless devotee is also burnt up by the Grace of Krishn.
icchä-vaçät päpam upäsakänäà
kñéyeta bhogonmukham apy amusmät |
prärabdha-mätraà bhavatétareñäà
karmävaçiñöaà tad-avaçya-bhogyam ||169||
( Read Brihad Bhagwatamrit 3/169)
So i hope now the matter is resolved conclusively.

Nartanu Guru-Sangh by Kripalu Maharaji : Read Everyday Series
Nartan Guru-Sangh
Govind Radhe
Prem pipasa teeno lakysha dilade
To achieve our God-Realization Goal, three things are essential
1. Human Body (due to kripa of God , one gets this)
2. Knowledge of Goal and way to achieve ( due to kripa of Guru one understand this)
Think what you did that you got human body
Think what you did that you understood the goal. how many scripture you read yourself?
3. Prem Pipasa ( longing for God is the responsibility of individual)
Mumksha/lalsa/tadpan/bookh
This pipasa depends on vairgya.ie the knowledge that this world is not ours.
"This wife,parents,friends,society,money are not for soul.They are for the body."
This knowledge should remain stable 100% all the time.
Think of death when you will go alone. Think in solitude when you will go alone
no one will be with you. only your karma will go and you will get result of your karma
how will we feel that time.
you will have to practise constantly and 1 day it will become stable knowledge.
Then prem pipasa will arise.Right vairga will arise.
The stronger prem pyas ( thirst) the closer we are towards our goal.
This is your responsibility only
God did his work by grace giving you human body and giving you guru
Guru did his work by giving you knowledge of goal which you wont have understood even in millions of years .. in few mins he explained you
Now its your turn
Bhakti karna/ sadhana karna/ man ko lagana.
Neither God nor Guru can do this for you
If God could have done this, then there would not have been this universe.
See God has 1 power called satya sankalp. ie he just have to think and its done.
he doesn't have to do.. it just will happen by his thinking alone.
he will have to just think.
shristi ho ja.. hogayi
praleya ho ja.. hogaya
raksha ho ja..
sarira ho ja..
nirakar ho ja..
this quality is also with saints. 100%
but neither God nor saint have been able to do what?
that all souls get promoted to golok by sankalp
if some saint does this sankalp, then our work is done freely
why to spend time , efforts along with sadhaks, why to write books etc
just think and its done..
So God and Saint cannot do this. We will have to do this.
we have been sitting thinking Guru or God will do this for us for 100, thousands of years
We will have to leave this foolishness and we will have to do it our self
Jiva will have to do it. Jiva will have to walk upwards. not downwards.
So this prem pipasa , we will have to increase
so we have 1 mind and there are 2 things
God and World
Nectar and Poision
we can take only 1 .
and we cannot stay without adapting 1 of them.
since we have eternal natural thirst to satisfy ourselves
so going in right direction, get the right thing
Remember 1 thing about this human body always
Next moment we may get to live or not.
Don't think what is my age as of now.
can you see from eyes , people are dying at all ages any time.
Think for yourself as well
this is the biggest surprise that we don't think about our own death
hence don't procrastinate the devotion. Do it now.
prahlad says do bhakti in childhood itself. who knows whether we will get youth?
Think again and again these 3 points
Think again and again about world and get vairaga
Only with constant continuous efforts will it happen.
if you don't do , you will roam around in 84 lac species
jiva is independent in doing karma BUT he is not independent in its results.
he will have to bear all consequence.

I am not able to do sadhana?
I don't get tears in the eyes
I get bored after some hours of bhajans/kirtan
I am lazy in doing sadhana
I am careless in doing sadhana
Tell me what should i do?
Ans: Remember in love there is no effort. You don't have love for God. That's why its becoming an effort for you and you have to "do" sadhana. you have to put "efforts" in doing roopdhyan.
OK I don't have love . you are correct. so what?
So just cry out to God, God give me love so that i can remember you without efforts. Ask and you shall get it.
But i try to cry and still i don't get those emotions. I do ask God to give me love. What to do?
If you cannot cry and that means you lack affinity towards God. So start with including God (your gopala or your thakur or your lala or whatever name you like in daily activities)
How do include him in daily activities?( Madhurya bhao will not be explained here)
1. How to include him while taking bath? ( Dasya bhao)
A. look after bath you will do aarti of him. this body belongs to him and its his property. So in service to him, we serve his property properly this body. Keep it clean and good.
B. Ask him to take bath quickly while you prepare breakfast ( Vatsalya bhao)
2. How to include him when i cook food ( lunch/dinner)? ( Vatsalya bhao )
See he is watching you as you cook. he is eagerly waiting for the food . he like a small child is even banging his thali on ground making noise and saying you give me food ma.. i am so hungry . i cannot wait. i want nice tasty food. ma please add some tasty masala as well.. like this u can include him
3. How to include him while traveling to office? ( Sakha bhao)
Dress him formally. make him wear suit and tie and shoes and what not. Best dress attire that can exist , make him wear. He is your office colleague and working with you and right now see ,he is in the cube just behind you.
See he is looking at you always and not working. scold him if needed so that he does some work and allow you to work as well. check occasionally if he is working or still looking at you and if you see him looking at you.. scold him or complain to Kishoriji(Radhaji). She will take care of him.
At lunch time, you and he can eat together. So call him and then open your lunch and have it together
Also you can go out for sometime along with him in lunch time.
You can ask him any problems you face during work. If he is not busy with his work, he will help you . but don't expect his help . He has lots of natak if you start giving him bhao ( importance).
Finally before going home, check if he is coming with you and wants to sit little longer. I would suggest you come along with him to home. you will have some company till home.
This way you include him
4. how to include him while cooking for dinner?
explained earlier
5. How to include him at sleep time? ( vatsalaya bhao)
tell thakur. u sleep now.both of us have to go to office tommorow morning. we will talk in morning now. if you want we can talk in dreams .. but pls sleep now. he likes to listen to story of RadhaKrishna. So to make your thakur sleep, tell him a few leelas from bhagavatam.
ok i understood how to include him .
Good. Now include him and after some time, once you have developed affinity with him 24 hrs , you can then start including yourself in his leelas directly which are described in bhagavatam.
Also remember the fact always.
Tell me what fact?
You will be dead after some time. No one will come to save you except Guru/Thakura. Whatever is yours , will be taken away from you. So you will be alone. Get used to this fact now. Think over it all the time. This job, this spouse, this child, this parents, this world, this body.. , this satsangi ( yes a satsangi is just another person who has just understood something about God in similar way like you that's it. nothing much. he is just a wave and will dissolve like others unless he realizes God and becomes a saint ).
am i all alone?
you are not alone. There is Thakura and Guru with you and ofcouse your karma sanskars are walking behind you like snakes. SO the fight at death has your biggest enemy as karma sanskars ( most of them are bad) and your only weapon against them is spiritual sanskars/your thakur/Guru. So ask thakur.. where will we go after i die.. Lets go where ever you like thakur we stayed all this life together now lets stay together where ever you like ..

How to recognize a real saint
1. A real saint mind being always engrossed in God (radhakrishna) keeps emitting love vibrations all the time. So anyone can associate with such a saint and experience the love vibration. How long to associate depends on the reception ability of the person. The more dirt is in his mind, the more time he needs to associate to recognize the love vibrations consciously.
2. The dinve love vibrations sometimes crosses the inside and gets expressed on outside body. These are called astha sattavic bhav. One may get to see this in a real saint somemtimes.
3. When one receives the love vibrations, he will start crying automatically with tears in his eyes. That way you can know that you have received love vibrations

Experiences Attributable to Spiritual Devotion
In Bhakti yoga certain observable bodily changes may take place. They are described in Narada's Bhakti Sutras, and there are also references to them in the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Srimad Bhagavata Maha Purana, and various other religious works of the Hindu tradition. They are known as the ashta sattvika vikara, or the eight purifying changes. These devotional symptoms do not appear in all yoga practitioners, but neither are they particularly uncommon. Because many people experience them spontaneously in the company of a spiritual master; or when chanting or singing devotional songs, or from mystical experiences that occur in sadhana, from religious ceremonies, or even from reading scriptures or the lives of saints, it is important for yoga teachers and practitioners to understand them. They also can be seen among aspirants in a variety of spiritual paths including some shamanic traditions, where they are often interpreted as evidence of voluntary possession by a deity or benign spirit.
But according to yoga, the ashta sattivika vikara occur because the emotions of devotion interact with certain pranic flows in the chakras of the subtle body and begin to purify the body-mind complex. Each of the five lower chakras controls the manifestation of energy into one of the five states of matter: solid, liquid, luminous, gaseous, and pure space. When emotions arise, they interact with the energies of these five centers, and the result is physical expression of an emotional state. When the emotions of love or longing for God or spirituality arise, the resulting expressions are considered positive because they purify the subtle nerve channels, or nadis.
The concentration of prana rotates every hour among the five lower chakras. The first of these ashta sattvika vikara is called stambha, meaning "stunned." It occurs when devotional feelings arise while prana is concentrated in the solid or "earth" element, at the muladhara chakra (at the base of the spine). The body becomes still and cannot move, and the mind and breath may be temporarily inactivated as well. If the prana is concentrated in the liquid or "water element" at the svadhishthana chakra when a strong devotional feeling arises, another of the ashta sattvika vikara, called ashru (weeping), can occur. It is said that the tears of devotion are cool and come from the outside corners of the eyes, unlike tears of anger or bitterness which come out of the center of the eyes or the inside corners. Ashru is seen often in ashrams where there is a great deal of devotional sentiment; people find themselves spontaneously crying without understanding why.
When the prana is concentrated in the manipura chakra, where the luminous or "fire element" resides, two expressions of purifying change are possible. One of these is called baivarna - the skin can radically change from one color to another, and the devotee may feel quite tired. The other is sveda, or sweat. Great heat can be created in the body, causing copious, spontaneous sweating, "as if," in the words of Baba Hari Dass, "the person just stepped out of the water." When the prana is concentrated in the anahata chakra, the seat of the gaseous or "air element," a variety of changes can happen: spontaneous rapid breathing or trembling, called kampa; or blocking of the voice so that one cannot speak and only hoarse sounds come out (svarbanga); or pulaka, when the hairs on the scalp prickle or stand up, goosebumps arise on the skin, and there is a feeling of joy in the heart. When the prana is concentrated in the vishuddha chakra (located at the base of the neck), an experience called pralaya can take place. The body faints, and if standing, it may fall to the floor. Other bhavas, such as unconscious dancing, singing in ecstasy, chills, and release of mucus from the throat and head, can sometimes be observed; about these, Baba Hari Dass has written: "These are natural processes of purifying the body, mind, and nerves. Ancient yogis recognized that intense sattvic emotions were inherently strong in only a few, rare people, and so they developed other means whereby anyone can purify the body and awaken kundalini, for example, through the practices of hatha yoga (pranayama, shat karma, mudra, etc.)."

Kripalu Maharaj Lecture Summary 29 OCt 2007
Memory is weak nowadays of people. They forget quickly. Hence its important that they keep revising/reviewing mentally what all they have listened. ( Manana karna)
Review like ok he said this and then this and then this.
Slowly the knowledge will become stable.
Unless you have achieved God, dont think you have learnt or understood completely.
I have told you many times that Radha-Krishna is sitting in your heart and noting all your ideas. still you all forget.
Be alert like a new driver driving a car. This sanskar has lots of crowd to evoke bad thoughts in you. Be alert always. A second of careless then lead to accident and death. same way a second of careless may make us do very big pap ( bad karma)
Maharaji then gives example of a cow.
I saw a cow sitting outside yesterday. She was chewing food and also constantly using her tail to fan her body so that mosqitios dont sit and bite her.
Imp points
-----------
1. Constantly keep on putting efforts without a gap of second.

Guru
1. To those who are constantly devoted to serving Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me ( Gita 10-10)
2. "Those who investigate the nature of this world with their own
efforts manage to lift themselves up even without the help of a
guru. The self (atma) is one's real guru and guide, and man is
fully capable of arriving at his own good by both direct
perception and inference." (Shrimad Bhagavata Purana: 11.7.20)
3. One must deliver himself with the help of his mind, and not degrade himself. The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well. ( Gita 6-5)
4. (Swami Vivekananda)
"You cannot teach anyone, but somebody may learn from you."
(Swami Vivekananda)
One who is ready to learn can learn from anywhere. The Sanskrit
word for 'university' is "Vishva-Vidyalaya", Vishva connoting the
world and vidyalaya meaning a temple of knowledge, offering the
whole world as a potential teacher before us.
However, don't try to become a python overnight, but do always
keep in mind the highest goal of life - attaining the immortal
through the mortal (human body).
5. Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī states in this connection, gurv-anusaraṇe pravartaka ity arthaḥ: the knowledge acquired by one's own perception and intelligence leads one to appreciate the value of the representative of Lord Kṛṣṇa
