Causeless Joy.....

I am really very grateful to my beloved Amma Bhagavan for giving me lots and lots of experiences which are transforming my life...the latest in this list after the freedom from thoughts, and the feeling of a higher self or the divine consciousness in me, is the Causeless Joy or the Ananda.

There is an abundance of joy almost all the time within me. I can feel it all through and I am enjoying every moment of my life. There is no real reason for this newly felt ananda in me, it is there, it is just coming on its own. Each experience is much greater than every others. Waiting for many more like these

Thanks again dear Amma Bhagavan for such experiences. What can I do really to show my gratitude for you? Anyone interested in going to the Oneness university to get out of such problems and experience the divine, if you need any help, please let me know and I will do my best to help you.

Let us all Pray and give Deeksha for Japan

This is the message from Sri Bhagavan:

"Japan would soon overcome the present crisis and emerge stronger in all spheres of human endeavour.

The crisis would also help Japan emerge as an Awakened nation. Prayers are going on at the Oneness temple to help the victims of the crisis as well as for the liberation of those who left us.

Oneness deeksha givers in Japan should, with the help of deeksha liberate people from the traumas caused by the crisis. One can feel the tremendous love of people from all over the world for the very lovable Japanese people."

Deekshas for a favorable resolution of the situation in Japan

occurs at 6 am Japan time [This would be 2:00pm PDT - and of course recommended to send deeksha any time]

The greatest gift I ever received.....

Way long back in September 2003, when I happened to visit Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma, I asked personally that I need them as my Antaryamin.....

Today, after the Mukthi Utsav, as promised in the course, I can feel that a higher self or the divine consciousness ( in my case, I know and believe it is Sri Bhagavan) has settled down in my heart. I can see that there is someone with me all the time and above it, he loves me to the greatest extent, he helps every moment of my life whenever I ask him for something. My request could be as small as getting a bus right away to very big ones as well.

This is the greatest experience I have ever had in life. I do not see there can be anything much greater or bigger gift than having the divine with you all the time loving you, helping you, becoming your friend and a close inmate.

Bhagavan, I am waiting for that moment when I not only feel your presence in me but also will be able to hear back what you speak to me......

Guys, I request everyone to attend the Mukthi Utsav, spare 2 days of your life and believe you will be happy life never ever before. All gratitude to Amma and Bhagavan for helping us with such great things in life which are not possible without them.

At the Lotus Feet of My Amma Bhagavan,
Vamsi Grandhi

Mukthi Utsav - an amazing course

I attended the Mukthi Utsav on Feb 24,25. I have been attending several events since 1996 including the Mahadeeksha and its level 2. Frankly, the amount of grace and power I witnessed in this course is way over any of the courses I attended earlier. This Mukthi Utsav is really amazing. I have burst into peels of laughter atleast a couple of times. My mind is totally peaceful. The flow of thoughts inside has reduced to abt 5% or even lesser from what it was previously. Moreover, now the thoughts which come to me are not disturbing me as they used to earlier, which is of much more importance. I feel Amma Bhagavan right with me all the time. It is a real amazing experience. The deekshas (for those new to deeksha, it is nothing but a blessing given where the blessing giver keeps his hand on the head of the devotee and prays to the divine to fill the devotee with divine grace) given as part of this event are really strong and powerful. I have seen everyone dance in joy and hug each other in love. By the time, we were leaving on the second day, everyone was really happy and were in causeless joy.

Few of my friends know that now, I am in the middle 3 very important decisions which will make my career all through my life and a minor mistake can make me repent all through my life. Believe me one of my friends asked me how I am able to sleep. Frankly, if I am at peace because thoughts and mind are not actually disturbing me. I am really greatful to Amma and Bhagavan certainly for helping me through this tough time.

On how the course goes, it has very less teachings say abt 30 - 40% and most of the time is for prayers, meditation and deekshas. So, you will find yourself in great states when are part of meditation and deekshas. Just have a passion in you to get Jeevan Mukthi, that will suffice.

I would say everyone should and must attend this event. There can be no bigger boon than this course for all of us. Should you require any information on the course, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I will be more than happy to help you.

shocked at the level of corruption in our country

All of us might have heard of hundreds and thousands of crores of rupees going corrupt. Even I did, but still I felt that no body is directly impacted because of this, though all of us are impacted in indirect ways.

Recently, I have heard of another incident which was really shocking me. As part of the NREGA, the labourers are getting some 120 odd rupees today. Of this, our great government officials eat up 10 rupees everyday. Aren't these people become like blood sucking parasites? They are not just eating up the money from the rich and well to do, even from the very poor who earn a hundred bucks a day.

Is there a way we can get rid of this corruption? Pondering over all these, I felt that corruption can be eradicated only in the top down approach. When the politicians act with integrity then only can we expect the bureaucrats to behave so, and so to the lower levels of the government.

If you happen to go to any villages and ask any small or medium farmer, their woes are so sad. Never do the government officials act in a manner which is good for their farming. Neither do the governments at center and state. We do not provide proper support prices for our agricultural produces. The prices are high in the city markets due to the number of intermediaries in between. There needs to be a transformation all these, else we have a risk of losing agriculture totally. The number of people migrating to cities is already very high.

As a part of being in the Loksatta and Loksatta Sanjeevani, several programmes are being organised to get rid of this corruption. Many rallies are organised, letters sent to government offices, RTI ( Right to Information Act) used to find out how the government offices are functioning, etc.

On the spiritual end, we need to transform and flower the hearts of people that they are all the one and empathetic to the problems of others.

One good thing IT is bringing to the country is transparency. Projects like e-seva, moving all PF accounts into online mode so that all the transactions can be done quickly, UID are really bringing in more transparency in our country.

So, ultimately what is the need of the hour? The need of the hour is energetic youth who are well educated, willing to learn the problems of the people and work towards resolving these issues. You need not be a politician or a bureaucrat to work on these. If you really have the wish and will to do it, think and you will find many ways in which you can contribute...........

Life is Relationships : How and Why?

"Many of our life problems (health, marriage, problems of materialistic nature, business, problems with children, and diseases from dependence) have connections with a family in which we live, with a family in which we grew up as well as family from which our parents derived.

We receive from our ancestors not only the color of our hair or tendency toward epilepsy, or heart diseases, but also a variety of psychological stresses, traumas and pains among which many are on the level of secrecy. Since long ago people have experienced one feeling, which they transformed into saying ". When grandparents eat sour grapes the grandchildren's teeth turn numb”

Person suffering chronic illness, often comes from a family where there are many "unfinished businesses" in the past.

Fore example: Family who's members has serious emotional problems, serious conflicts within members going on, or just a lot of feeling of guilt, fear and resentment. Sometimes, those conflicts and entangling are on unconscious level, and person is not aware of it. If those conflicts and problems are not addressed, health, if achieved, is just an illusion, short term experience.

MOST SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS come from difficult relationship between people.

But, for most people, dealing with those problems is not easy. Being married with a "wrong" person, being divorced, being unable to communicate with your kids ... finding solution to similar problems seems very difficult for many people! It takes a long time to learn, to adjust, to forgive, and to tolerate.

Unfortunately, people who need changes the most, those who are seriously ill, are just too ill to realize it. Most sick people are just too sick to even try simple and easy things like water cure, liver cleanse, juicing, lemonade diet....

Family and Subconscious plays a big part in our health. When we are talking about subconscious, we are talking about past.

"Beside the color of our eyes or tendency toward epilepsy, from our ancestors we inherit various kinds of feelings, tragedies, traumas, tempers, tresses, misfortunes. We also inherit the terror and fear of living in poverty, hunger, insecurity, etc (nevertheless of our temporary status)."

"Families have numerous levels on which they exist and on which they function in the same way as each of us individually. There is a difference between the visible (so called manifesting) level of family's relationship and the level of hidden feelings, games and positions (so called latent level). The pathological balance frequently exists on exactly this hidden level, which, after long-term stagnation of energy, creates sickness or pathological process to that family or to their members."

"Today we are aware of the fact that any serious emotional trauma that happened in the past to you (or your parents) can have a significant effect on the continual state of your health.

People can also strongly suffer from emotional trauma inherited from parents who lived with hidden and unsolved rejection, with concentration camp or refugee drama or ancient separation during birth.

All this pervades the descendents and brings them in an emotional state, which they don't remember experiencing at all. We can frequently see how, in families, children reflect their parents, as if they are looking in the mirror. The characteristics that they have taken from their parents or some distant ancestor may include the tendency toward depression, fear, self-criticism, lack of conscience, self-rejection, etc. It is therefore very clear that the emotional trauma is the main reason for bad health."

"Unfinished businesses within family can block and take away the family energy. These can be various family secrets about family's conflicts, murders, war sufferings, rapes, religious intolerances, adultery, frauds, plunders, betrays, etc."

Solution:

"By finishing the unfinished business a lot of life energy can be released."

"Secrets and lies within a family are very important, because secrets, hidden thoughts and feelings are those that produce the unfinished business and knots. Very often almost whole family energy is spent to keep some secret on the safe place, so the members of the family hardly have strength for anything else in their life."

Soul is a part of us, which connects our body (material aspect of our existence) and our spirit (our connection with spiritual). Soul is a part of us that is connected to emotions and in this way it knows all truths from the beginning to the end. It is not like mind which analyses, interprets, judges, synthesizes and babbles, babbles, babbles, etc It's medium is not a word but a picture.

A lot of things that determine our lives, happiness and health belong to those latent levels and it processes beyond the level of our consciousness. Not only does there exist a large subconscious part of us connected to our individual lives from the beginning until present moment, but also there exist a large part in that subconscious that is filled with various important elements from the whole evolution, from prehistoric human until today. As in some unimaginably big computer, tidily in our subconscious we have sorted files that possess all the emotionally important information from the prehistoric days until today.

This is known as collective subconscious.

Beside individual and collective subconscious, in subconscious part of us there exist one more "sector" in which are placed files that possess something that is called familiar subconscious. This is something that we inherit from our ancestors through our genetics. These are furthermore those "programs" in our lives that are often, automatically and unconsciously happening and determining our destiny. Therefore we, beside the color of our eyes or tendency toward epilepsy, inherit various kinds of feelings, tragedies, traumas, tempers, stresses, also the pain of midwife whose children are dying while giving them birth, the misfortune of their mother to whom they forbid to marry the love of her life, we also inherit the terror and fear of living in poverty (nevertheless of our temporary status).

"That is why we often notice within family, for example, five generations of lawyers or seven generations of doctors or four generations of alcoholics, suicides, schizophrenics, divorces, etc."

"If the children are the ones whose problems are involved, then the adequate people should work for them in the therapy as their parents or very close relatives."

It is important to learn what is right and what is wrong, in relationship with people. It is important to regret doing things that are bad. It is important to forgive to those who regretted. It is important to forgive to yourself. It is important to learn from mistakes. It is important to love your parents, your ex partners, your present and your past partners, your children, born and unborn, alive or dead.

It is important to do good to people. It is important to do good to your own children. It is important to support your children. The best that a parent can do for their own children is to love the other half, the other parent. How do you show love to your children? By showing them that you love the other parent! Lack of this love may cause imbalances that will be felt through generations.
