Moon Mind & Abhimanyu

By Sri Chiraan 2009/06/20

Moon indicates mind in astrology. Moon also indicates ability to attract near and dears. Moon indicates royal favours and cheers from subjects. Moon also indicates hasty decisions. Moon indicates able ruler and his heirs. Moon is the dynasty. Moon also indicates manes.

Abhimanyu was the incarnation of moon. Abhimanyu was Angad in his previous life in Ramayana. Arjun was Vali. He carried forward his runanubandha even in this life. 

Due to extreme devotion Angad had in Rama, Abhimanyu became very dear to Krishna.

When mind is firmly fixed in the Lord Ram, then no evil can even enter your mind, or disturb your gait / goal and resolution. Although every type of evil is ever engaged in disturbing / moving the tranquil of the brain and mind. Such a mind when fixed in Rama becomes firm just like Angad put his step firmly on the ground taking the name of Lord Ram. None in the court of Ravan could even move it leave aside uproot it. All the demons [various sins, evil thoughts] tried their best to move Angad’s feet but without success.

A firm resolute mind is only possible when it is fixed unconditionally towards Ram. Your mind automatically purifies, and achieves the great feat. Even under hostile circumstances it fears not to convey the message of RAM.

Abhimanyu learnt great Vidya by Lord Krishna in the womb. Lord impregnates mind with multitudes of capacity. Abhimanyu was dear to all the Pandavas. Abhimanyu represents half knowledge .

With half knowledge one can never come out of delusion [padmavyuha] called life. Logic cannot help in gain victory over senses. Neither it helps solve mystery of life. When mind is not fully equipped it keeps revolving in padmavyuha.

When such a mind is not accompanied by [Bheema, Yudhisthir, Nakul, Sahadev], i.e.. perfect knowledge & devotion towards divine, Dharma [do’s and don’ts], good neeti and conduct.

Though it can successfully tackle problems of life but cannot overcome it. When such accompaniment fails due to interference owing to lust [Jayadrath], it is severally attacked by jealousy [Karna], ego [Ashvaththama], sense of dejection [Kripa], greed [Duryodhan], perverted knowledge [Dushyashan], and confusion [Shakuni] all aided by atheism [Drona].

Such an unprepared mind is afflicted severally by these, and there is no hope whatsoever about escape from such a situation. One gets lost into such delusion named chakravyuha. One ends up with his head hit by the mace of [Kushashtra], son of Dushyashan [perverted knowledge gives birth to delusive scriptures and beliefs].

Such Chakravyuha can only be successfully tackled by Arjun [shravan, manan, dhyana] directed by Lord Krishna in body, which is purified by the presence of Hanuman .

Always engage the mind in the practice of meditation of Lord, else one will get stuck in the chakravyuha of life, never to come out of it afflicted by shadvairy [six enemies of kama, krodha, lobh, mada, moha, matsarya]. Never leave the company of dharma, gyana, neeti and suvartan.

What is Karma?

By Sri Chiraan 2009/03/27

It is often most used term KARMA! But exactly what is Karma? 

Karma is the actions left behind by the soul. Actions from manasa vacha kaya!!!

All these karma are interaction of 24 tattvas in the universe. Our bodies are made of 24 tatvas.

1. Avyakta
2. sookshma prakriti [satva rajas tamas]
3. Mahat
4. Ahankar
5. 5 panch gyanendriya [chakshus, shrotra, ghran, tvak, jivha]
6. 5 panch karmendriya [hasta, pada, payu upastha, vaak]
7. 5 panch tanmatra [roopa, shabda, gandha, sparsha, rasa]
8. 5 panch bhoota [tejas, akash, prithvi, vayu, jal]

Gayatri [24 syllables] represents these 24 tatvas, its japa energises these tatavas. Human body [infact entire creation] is made of these jada tatvas. When the world interacts, there is exchange of these tatvas from one body to other, and one element to the other. Thus there arises a need for equilibrium of this tatvas both in micro and macro levels of creations [pindanda and bramhanda]. This exchange of sookshma tatvas, and its debt and credit are termed as Karma. Creation and its sustenance, and destruction is process of bringing the cosmic balance of this tatvas.

Thus we are born in the same city where we would have performed in our previous lives; we use the same utensils that have been recycled from previously used materials. etc etc.

As we think, act, and speak a huge amount of tatvas are used and expended forming a anubandha. This are deposited as karma [sanchita, agami, prarabdha] as huge as mountains beyond Lokalok parvat. As the bramhanda is covered with 24 layers of Tatva [kharpar] like a coconut shell. The bookkeeping of these karmas are in the very nature and also inside our bodies in the form 72000 nadis. A look at a person’s astral bodies gives a picture perfect view of his karma. Astrology only reconfirms this Karma through mathematical calculations and planetary motion. So Planets are only indicative phenomena, real karma is our deeds, and is present in our own bodies.

When we have excess of Papa karma, our antah karana is heavy and sagged due to presence of excess tamo guna and we are unhappy. Tamo guna is slow in movement and hence our thoughts move slowly and man is brooding. A visit to a temple removes this tamo pradhan akaash from the mind and replaces with the satva pradaan antahkarna, we feel a sense of calmness and relief and our burdens are lightened. So we say we are at peace after visiting the temple.

Such is the greatness of Lord Vishnu that even if one bows to him in arrogance or ignorance or through haughtiness or jokingly or with cunning attitude, Papa[sins] accrued in 100 births vanish.

Shattyenapi yatkrutam namaskaram shata janma papam vinashyati.
