Pranams, swaminiji,
please accept my heartfelt thanks , inexpressible admiration , and inexplicable awe that i have been silently feeling at the monumental series of magnanimous presentations on temples and sculptures, in the speaking tree, ie in the web world ,

i can not really guess the amount of sustained efforts, mental and physical, and sacrifice,
not less than a tapasya over the years, not less than the efforts of shilpis
on this not often traveled path of spirituality, ie of capturing the ''solidified'' divine glories on the eye of camera, by physically being in the vicinity there,

surely it is an adventure rich with discoveries, sharing with the world, for now and for long future for historians, students, artists, architects, and spiritual seekers, opening the eyes for a world , a very little of which was only known thru casual reading in the class rooms and magazines, or heard by word of mouth . now it is made available to see on the pc screen. just clicking the key board., great gift , readers are lucky for this galore of great gifts, thanks once again

स्वस्ति ते अस्तु | शुभं मंगलम् ||

I invite you to write the “Foreword” to my books, some general, some Coffee Table Books, that will cover these Temple Architecture eventually.

Yes, the research started around in 2007 with ‘Dilwara Jain Temples’, Mount Abu. I have almost covered everything except the Khajuraho group of monuments.

My contribution is not insignificant, but not very significant also. My USP is however, that I answer all the questions of my readers, which is not available in other private blogs, dedicated website/s, or the books. As I progress in this series, I will bring in comparative tables, comparative sculptures/style, as I have marked without being a professional art historian. Kindly be with me.

I may have to quickly decide some portions to go for print, since there is no end to research and beefing (bad word) up the content

Imposter =
''a person who pretends to be someone else in order to deceive others, especially for fraudulent gain.''

Swaminiji, in view of your assignment on ''foreword'', firstly i will be indicating my full profile and photo, to let you know and assess seriously on my eligibility to write foreword on such important documents

but , in all humility and respect , the truth is i changed my name to ''Devarishi Vasanth'' as per my inner call, which was long due, i did it in face book, it will continues...........but i felt that in st previous name should continue , so reverted back, my name vasanth is not hidden nor changed

above post is to express my genuine appreciation on the tremendous effort invested by you on the topics ,.. na bhootho na bhavishyathi ....in the speaking tree, , but my intention is not to sneak in clandestinely .i am not seeking any gain

kindly do block me again without hesitation, if you feel so . i respect your decision without ill feeling or regret .

but my experience indicates that profile and biodata greatly bias the conversation,
my style does not change, but with a different name m responses are received well. hence i go with multiple ids , but my intentions are pure, pl trust me,
i always emphasize on ''what is said,'' not one ''who said''.........so i like to be anonymous , and rebuild the broken relations, thus i have gained back the lost friends

probably this may be my last talk, unless you favour me with a pardon
my apologies for taking your valuable time ,

best regards, i remain
yours sincerely

vasanth, rishi vasanth, devarishi vasanth, walking towards brahmarishi vasanth, stop not till the goal is reached

prayer to thee

pl forgive my arrogance
pl make me into a good sadhaka
pl help me with your kind blessings

I am seeing your response immediately
how did you listen my silent calling I wonder

as I see your lotus palm rising gently ,
and slowly showering thy grace on my head
my whole being is filled with thy grace,
is becoming cool and blissful

you are so far physically
but you are so near as my mother

you are watching me
you are correcting me every second, when faltering

you have given me the internal direction
to write this prayer in my meditation

you have arranged wherewith alls
to send this prayer to you

you are behind the universe,
running the entire show perfectly,
with unmistakable precision

if I see any mistakes,
it is my own sanskara causing it

you are my mother, for a motherless me
you are my father, for a fatherless me

your name is enough to me to fall at your feet in surrender
your kindness is radiating on me,

humility is increasing, sins are melting,
slowly surely I would become enriched in purity
to be able to call my self a humble son of yours

I am falling at your divine feet,
praying again and again ,
weeping at this moment, with tears

amma
pl pl pl forgive my mistakes,
and bless me

guru essential

guru essential | Meditation Blog on Speakingtree.in

guru essential

time is very important factor in
life. 
one must get enlightenment earliest in
life , at very young age
............guides/paths/means/books/media/
can be any,
but effectiveness, ''proof of the
pudding'' is vital. 


 
if one gets that true wisdom, he is
lucky. 


true wisdom enables one to
live gloriously , a masterly life,
with no trace of doubts , without any
further help


such a person will not need
any scriptures,
but on the
other hand he will be in position to validate all scriptures in the
 light of his true
wisdom , 




guru may not teach directly himself 

but he creates / trains preceptors,/ who will be
able to provide the essential brief understanding and most important, the
experience of ''self realization''
 

this can also happen thru any media audio video ,
but if it is interactive it will greatly help to give total clarity, on the
path and practice 


once
internally lit, one becomes so much self sufficient that all knowledge / wisdom
/ virtues start sprouting from within, not needing any guide any further 


he becomes truly un-dependent.
without a right guidance, time will be
wasted, life long efforts go wasted, unrewarding

Thanks for nice frank rendering on a very worthy topic

Losing totally ourselves in Him; forgetting every other thing – even the contents of the prayer is the best sort of prayer.

this is the state of samadhi
in this state, sidhis will happen, wishes get fulfilled , this is the ideal basis for real prayer

Even Person Committing Criminal Acts/ Irrational Acts Invokes God
nothing wrong , all are children of god
they have to return to the lap of god,
the sinner too is eligible for redemption

Only some Days Assigned for Serious Bhakti.

the idea is to have regularity and persistance in the spiritual journey , till it becomes a 24 hour living prayer

Comparison / Competition in Prayer

examples are for inspiration , to progress and excel , but one has to compete with oneself excelling, the previous levels, not get compromised with small gains

naa alpe sukhamasthu
there is no joy in small little gains

When prayers not Answered.

it's the indicator that more intensive sadhana is required to gain more purity of the body mind system

''total belief / faith / right attitude''
are not the prerequisites, but the right sadhana to reach a stable samadhi in action is the requirement
in this state , desires get fulfilled, prayers will be answered instantly, in this state
yatheenam brahma bhavathi sarathi,, god obeys the orders of the devotee .

Some have more accessibility to our Lord?

accessibility to our Lord is proportional to the degree of purity of body mind nervous system, by birth or by intense sadhana.
by default, man is born as sinner, with all remnants of sanskars, past actions/ heriditary, hence need is there to be reborn as dija, twice born, by gaining the glimpse of the absolute , of course with master guidance

if not all the hidden potentialities go wasted, man ends up as ignorant suffering life long as a consequence

Questions asked: Then there are people who ask unreasonable questions to make the prayers and its results and to fill the people with more doubts about it all.

hence guidance from true master is a must

Since He is our Creator and we are made in His mould.,
things will happen at its own pace, as per his design ,

Have you seen your God in person?
no, he cannot be seen in a person, or as a person
since the visible whole universe is his aakaar,
so if i see an ant , i see it as god
if i see an elephant, i see it as god

What is His form?
all forms are his
no form is his too
since he is all as saakar
he is nill as niraakaar

God is Omniscient
so, he knows my need and greed, my good and bad,

god is Omnipresent.

so he is present in me , in my every cell, every part, in my mind, in my thoughts,
he is present as me

since he knows, since he is present as me
he does what is required and when is required, with or without my prayer, or asking, or suggestion, or request, or command or demand, without waiting, without expecting any thing from me
