Dissecting Nirguna Definition

In the shlokas or Bhagavadgita or Lalita Sahasranamam we can often find mention of 'trigunas'. Now I will go in details about this. Guna in Sanskrit means trait. There are three. Sathva (truth, honesty, softness), Rajas (ego, power, aggression, manipulation, tact) and Tamas (evil, cruelty, horror).

Amongst the three, 'Sathva'or 'Sathya' is most revered!!! Our national symbol endorses 'Sathyam eva jayathe' (!!!!???)

In the mythical texts and verses we often find that GOD defined as Nirguna. That means GOD has none of the 'gunas' or  has all the three!!! The Goddess is defined as 'guna ateeta' and 'nirguna' and 'thriguna athmika'. Meaning Goddess is beyond these three traits, she is not attached to three traits and she contains these three traits..!!! Complicated isn't it? As we normally perceive, sathva is most favored guna of the God, verses should have called GOD as Sathva Guna Bhagavan! It is not so.

Guna's are 3 kinds of energies and they formed along with nature. These are tools of supernatural power and managed with balance and equilibrium of all the three!

Our general understanding is 'truth prevails in the end'!. It is not true. Who has seen the end? When one guna revers to its extreme, it becomes its own weakness and gets killed by other Gunas!!! For example: Let us take sathva. If extremity of sathva, without tact makes it too mild/weak and it easily gets manipulated by Rajas and Tamas. ex: harmless, nonaggressive deers get killed by Tiger (aggression and tact).

ex Rajas: When extremity of ego, aggression and manipulation reaches, it gets declined with a smallest weak link. ex: A small wound on tiger gets infected by flies and it dies a long, painful journey to death. 

So extremity of any guna leads to its own death or downfall. But gunas never die. They only get subdued. Thats why our verses defined God as Nirguna Bhagavan! Therefore, the learning for humans is to not to allow the development of any guna to its extremity!!!! So no guna is superior or inferior. The growth of a guna to its extreme makes it more weak than strong!!!

Creator of these tools (gunas) is not the tool himself, not attached to them, he contains them and uses when needed. Hence the definition of nirguna, thrigunatmika and guna ateeta!

Nirakara, Nispruha, Nirguna Ithi Bhagavantah!.. God is shapeless, detached and a-trait!

Get your wishes granted!

Do you have some die hard wishes? Highly desirable dreams? Are you able to do something to achieve them? Are you already doing some efforts towards it? If your answer is 'yes' for all of these then try this to realize them faster..

Look around you, what people are struggling for, what could be their dreams..wishes.. if you know at least some, analyze if these wishes are honest, fair and legitimate. If your judgement does ok, sincerely pray for their grant with no jealousy.

If you did that, you will notice that your honest, fair and legitimate dreams getting realized faster with negative energies getting subdued gradually..!!!

Disclaimer: Please experiment before believing it. It you have to experiment, please check if you really have an honest, fair and legitimate obsessive dream that you tried/trying to achieve.

...If you dont know where you want to go.. any road will take you there..!!!

Mantra Pushpam - Praise of Nature!!!

Yopam pushpam Veda...!! Pushpavan prajavan pashuman bhavathi..!
Agnirva apahm ayatanam...!
Vayurva apahm ayatanam..!
Aapohvai vayo rayatanam..!
Yah evam veda..! yo upam ayatanam veda...ayatanavan bhavathi!!!

Agni (fire), Vayu(gases/air), Aapah (water), Pathah (motion/movement), Chandramasah (planet), parjanya(particle cloud),
nakshathra (star), samathsara (time)

My husband sent me an audio clip of Mantrapushpam recently. It was circulating in whatsapp groups.
It triggered an interest in me to write about it in this blog. Because I would have heard mantrapushpam over 100 times since I was young. Every Vedik puja at home concluded with it. Thanks to whatsapp... It is reaching those who could not otherwise heard it..!

When you hear this chanting it creates some kind of vibration. For a neutral mind, it is positive vibration. I dont know otherwise. This mantra has no GOD's reference. It simply praises the nature and nature's elements. If it has no religious reference, why do we conclude Vedik rituals with this? For creating positive vibrations!!! It also says, the one who knows (yah evam veda), upam ayatanam (this knowledge?) veda (knows), acquires that ..Knowledge( ayatanavan bhavathi).!!!

So, what is that knowledge? It is about elements of universe. Here is my interpretation of Mantrapushpam..!
Fire creates gas(air?), from gas the water, from water the movement (magnetic field?), from movement the particles, from particles the planet and stars, and these consistent changes create definition of time..(change creates concept of time)!!We also know that water and movements created life.

Now it also says, one who knows this acquires knowledge.! What is that knowledge? How universe is created? In my interpretation, what one knows, s/he can influence it and manipulate it.. or takeover it!
So if I  know how to create massive fire, it creates a big bang, water, gases, collision of particles, attracted particles become planets, due to their weight they start slowly moving (circulating) creating a galaxy..!!!??? If I created it, I own it..!!!

Well,, mantrapushpam compares universe to lotus. Lotus is multi layered, has a centre and connected to centre with support of a stem and it floats on the water..! I could not connect similarity of universe to lotus.
I recall a budhist chant.. Aum mani padme aham! .... I am the lotus..! If universe is like lotus....I am a small part of that universe...a part of infinite energy..So is everything.. every one..a part of energy!..
Feels intriguing, isn't it?

My Digital Diary - dd/mm/2055

I woke up at 5 and my personal Yoga instructor from Banaras had already checked in my TV screen and doing her warm up.
As soon as I entered my hall the smart TV switched auto on and Yoga instructor wished me good morning and said I am little late.
"I told her I was late because I had a barbeque party a day before. She told me that she already checked my sugar, bp and calorie cut "
of previous day and suggested I do some more of carb-yoga today. My body tag had smart chip which synchs these data into her mobile app.
I had my breakfast and switched on my domestic help...yea.. you read it right...he is a robo.. He does good cleaning without any cribbing.
Water was just not enough for the day. I decided to skip my shower and do with foam wash instead. These double recycled water is so expensive you see.
My electric car is inside garage. I took my mobile out and did remote command to open my garage and take the car out.
Well electricity is so expensive ever since the cars are electric. I went on to drive a little to a charger station and there was a
salon with discount on spa services by Robots. Station had only customers..it was remotely managed.
My mobile just pinged and I saw an alert saying the frequent caller is around 2 KMs away.. I just rang the number.. it was my sister..
She said she was just coming to me since she found my daily calender free of events in her mobile app. Well we went to home to find
no groceries. I ordered a fast delivery pizza for lunch and it got just dropped by pizza drone exactly in 20 mins 30 seconds at my balcony.
"I was about to get in, there was another package drone delivered from flykart - the online shopping company..My sister took the "
"geo coordinates of my balcony last time.. and I knew it now ..why.. She wanted to give me a surprise gift..She said, she jumped a signal "
today and chased by a drone traffic cop to deliver her the fine.. But she just had to make a thumb impression and chose the bank.. the traffic
"drone flew away..She told me, her son recommends to buy the shares of drone making company that had launched sky dabbawallas. "
Mumbai dabbawalas are long gone to history because of drone dabbawalas.. Now they work in fastfood restaurants.
My doctor was online and wanted to check my weight. He said I just dont need to lose weight but in take calcium.. He lives in USA..but consults
tele-consultation on my smart screen TV.. It is a 3D enabled device with two way relay and he has no problem doing tele-consultation. He said he might need a personal diagnosis ..I didn't want to take chances..and called my insurance company
"Ever since stem cell recreation started, My insurance agent told me that cancer is no more under critical illness. I told the doctor, same thing..
..He agreed, cancer is like cold and cough now..Oncology hospitals treat patients on OPD "

Well..life has become expensive for senior citizens..! It was never easy though! Equities of India have souring facevalues for good scripts.. and too many new companies..Brick and morters are only handfull.. I told my sister..
It is time to sign off the day!..Did I say it is already night..Night is still long for the youngsters in this city!!!
