Teachings

Dear Initiates, Seekers and Friends,

Divine Heart Center wishes you a Happy Easter.

Easter is the dawn of new beginnings. Today, one must firmly resolve to resurrect the sleeping Christ within one's third eye. Let the egg of your spiritual aspirations be hatched by the radiance of Divine Grace, so that you may be re-born in the Divine world of eternal existence, consciousness and bliss.

All the best,
Shailesh


 

Met with Cullen Jones and Alana Nichols at an event today. They shared their inspiring stories.

Cullen almost drowned at an amusement park while he was a kid. The next day his mother enrolled him in swimming lessons. African Americans die of drowning more than people of any other race. This is alarming. Cullen's mother taught him that he had "10 minutes to pout" whenever things didn't go in his favor and then start working again to achieve his goals. He continues to follow this advise today.

The other day, per my wife’s demand, we went to watch the 3D animation movie “Tangled”. “Tangled” is based on the old fairy tale of Rapunzel.

While the literal meaning of the Sanskrit word “Namah (नमः)” is “not me” i.e. “not my ego-self”, there is a hidden Yogic relevance to it.

“Nam (नम)” or “Namah (नमः)” is a reversal of Sanskrit word for mind, “Man (मन)” or “Manah (मनः)”. I have written earlier that the English word “man” has its root in the Sanskrit word “Man (मन)” or the mind.

Chanting “Namah (नमः)” in a mantra, e.g. in “OM Namah Shivaya”, reverses the outward flow of the mind (towards the senses), inwards (towards the purified intellect). This is the goal of Yoga.
