Generally, more than our parents its our grandparents to whom the grandchildren are even more dearer. They see a reflection of their younger selves in the grandchildren.

They try to help and guide the grandchildren to the best of their knowledge and abilities. We can say that they are our guiding spirits and are God's special gift to us. Our grandparents lead us from darkness towards light with their constant love and kindness.

Their experiences are the foundation, on which they instruct the grandchildren to become better and able citizens of the world.

I consider my maternal grandmother as one of my Guru's. She is the one who has revealed the secret of AdityaHrudayam to me. It has provided me with many gifts and given me knowledge which I cherish the most.

On my fathers side, my paternal grandmother as far back as I can remember was always immersed in Dhyana(Meditation). After attending to her daily activities, whenever we see her, she would be lost in Dhyana. She is the one who has opened the door to the mysterious innre world inside each and everyone of our selves. I consider her also as my Guru, the one who has given me the key to Dhyana(Meditation).

This knowledge I owe to my dear grandmothers. I wish to share & spread this knowledge to all our fellow citizen of the world.

Anyone who knows the AdityaHrudaym will become free from misery and gain happiness here in this life and also in the next.

 

Dear Devotees,

 

Please accept my humble obeisance’s. All glories to Sri Surya Narayana!!

 

Today, lets discuss about how we unknowingly do not see or acknowledge the importance and significance of our Bhagavan in our day-to-day activities even though he is always there among us and guiding us though unseen by us.

 

Bhagavan is our most dearest friend and in fact, he is actually our only true relative in the complete sense.

 

How many countless births have we not taken though the millennia forgetful of the presence of the Lord. Yet, Bhagavan out of his infinite love for us guides us though each and every birth day in and day out mostly unseen and completely unacknowledged.

 

He follows us, with the hope that one day we will realize his love for us, but that day seems soooo long in coming, mostly it will be another millennia before atleast one of us will realize and know him atleast partly.

 

To know him is easy enough, then why do we take countless births to realize him? This remains a mystery for all of us. One reason for this, is we are bound up in the matrix of our dearest Maya. Our sense of our self and our relation to our world.. We seem to love ourselves and our personal possessions and so called relatives more than the provider of our every breath, every need, every want and every desire.

 

Sastra’s and our Vedas recommend that all we have to do is simple surrender to our Bhagavan. And that will be more than enough for us to get liberation from the mysterious entanglements of Mayadevi.

 

From our first breath to our very last, we are entangled in the web of Maya, and this has always been the case from countless births.

 

Even though we get to realize this only in a human birth, even when we are given this golden opportunity to realize the goal of life, we ignore and continue in the silly games we have been playing for millenia.

 

The same old story, retro fitted, nothing new.

Going though the same cycle of samsara.

 

Birth, Dealth, Old Age and Disease.

Birth, Dealth, Old Age and Disease.

Birth, Dealth, Old Age and Disease.

Birth, Dealth, Old Age and Disease…..

 

We can never seem to be able to break this cycle.

 

In our previous births in the animal, birds and beast forms we have no choice at all in this matter. We just go through the motions, we have absolutely no choice.

 

It’s only in the Human form of life, which is like a Golden Gate to Freedom that the chance to use the Key to open the lock of the Cycle of Samsara is given to us. This chance w may not get for another millennia, but we being completely foolish, think what is the use of this Key? We do not need it. We are quite happy with what we have. Myself, my wife, my dear children, my grand children, my great grand children, my relatives and so on are provided for.

 

We see no use for the Key. I can do the same again in my next birth and I can again maintain my family, myself being my lord and master can again and again provide and maintain my family myself. How needs this Key? By my strength and good Karma, I can do everything all over again, and maybe I will be better next time. This thinking is the way of the foolish. And we unfortunately fall in this category.

 

The way out is NOW. Now the exit from Samsara is open and only in the Human birth. We might luckily momentarily realize this in theory. But in practice we again and again seem to fail. Maya is extremely strong.  As an anology, Maya is similar to the gravitational force that will not allow a single objects to escape from it. Great has to be our effort and discipline before we can break free from her.

 

Then we break out of the Matrix, when we surrender completely to the Lord from our heart and soul with our every breath. Sharanagathi is so easy and yet requires enormous disciple and unbounded love for the Lord.

 

When our love for the Lord and all living entities approaches the love that Bhagavan feels for each and every one of us that is when we are in sharanagathi. Then is when we can break free out of the matirx.

 

Lets pray to our Lord that it happens at the earliest. In reality, after we get this knowledge it will take us atleast another 100 births before we can really approach that level of love for all our fellow beings and for our Bhagavan. But lets hope and pray that we try to get there now and at the earliest.
