Jesus: Hello. Did you call me?
Man: Called you? No. Who is this?
Jesus: This is Jesus. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.
Man: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.
Jesus: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.
Man: Don’t know. But I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic. It’s rush hour all the time.
Jesus: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Man: I understand. But I still can’t figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
Jesus: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time,by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
Man: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
Jesus: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
Man: why are we then constantly unhappy?
Jesus: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy.
Man: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
Jesus: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Man: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.
Jesus: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Man: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
Jesus: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.
Man: You mean to say such experience is useful?
Jesus: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
Man: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can’t we be free from problems?
Jesus: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
Man: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading.
Jesus: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.
Man: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
Jesus: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Man: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
Jesus: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.
Man: What surprises you about people?
Jesus: When they suffer they ask, “why me? When they prosper, they never ask “Why me” Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.
Man: Sometimes I ask, who I am, why am I here. I can’t get the answer.
Jesus: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
Man: How can I get the best out of life?
Jesus: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Man: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
Jesus: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.
Man: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the day with a new sense of inspiration.
Jesus: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don’t believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.
Man: Thank you so much.

“Right from the beginning of creation, man witnessed many transcendental happenings. Sometimes he was able to read the thoughts of others, he witnessed somebody else’s predictions coming true, or he may even have seen his own dreams manifesting into realities. He pondered over the fact that some people could write inspiring poems of compose beautiful music whereas others couldn’t; one person could fight on the battlefield for days together and another person couldn’t even get up from his bed. So he wanted to discover why everybody seemed to be different.
In the course of his investigations, man came to understand that within every individual there is a special form of energy. He saw that in some people it was dormant, in others it was evolving and in a very small minority of people, it was actually awakened. Originally, man named this energy after gods, goddesses, angels or divinities. Then he discovered prana and called it prana shakti. In tantra they called it kundalini.
What the various names for Kundalini mean
In Sanskrit, Kundal means a coil, and so kundalini has been described as ‘that which is coiled’. This is the traditional belief; but it has been incorrectly understood. The word Kundalini actually comes from the word kunda, meaning ‘a deeper place, pit or cavity’. The fire used in the ceremony of initiation is kindled in a pit called kunda. Similarly, the place where a dead body is burned is kunda. If you dig a ditch or a hole it is called kunda. Kunda refers to the concave cavity in which the brain, resembling a coiled and sleeping serpent, nestles. (If you have the opportunity of examining a dissection of the human brain you will see that it is in the form of a coil or snake curled up upon itself.) This is the true meaning of kundalini.
The word kundalini refers to the shakti or power when it is in its dormant potential state, but when it is manifesting, you can call it Devi, Kali, Durga, Saraswati, Lakshmi or any other name according to the manifestation it is exhibiting before you.
In the Christian tradition, the terms ‘the Path of the Initiates’ and ‘the Stairway to Heaven’ used in the Bible, refer to kundalini’s ascent through sushumna nadi. The ascent of kundalini and ultimately, the descent of spiritual grace, are symbolized by the cross. This is why Christians make the sign of the cross at ajna, anahata and vishuddhi chakras, for ajna is the center where the ascending consciousness is transcended and anahata is where the descending grace is made manifest to the world.
Whatever happens in spiritual life, it is related to the awakening of kundalini. And the goal of every form of spiritual life, whether you call it samadhi, nirvana, moksha, communion, union, kaivalya, liberation or whatever, is in fact awakening of kundalini.”

![ದೀಪಾವಳಿ ಹಬ್ಬದ ನಂತರ ಬರುವ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಹಬ್ಬ ತುಳಸಿ ಹಬ್ಬ ಅಥವಾ ತುಳಸಿ ಮದುವೆ. ಕಾರ್ತಿಕ ಮಾಸದ ಶುಕ್ಲ ಪಕ್ಷದ ದ್ವಾದಶಿಯಂದು ಈ ಪವಿತ್ರದಿನವನ್ನು ತುಳಸಿ ಮದುವೆಯನ್ನಾಗಿ ಆಚರಿಸುವರು. ಅಂದಿನ ದಿನ ರೇವತಿ ನಕ್ಷತ್ರದ ಯೋಗವಿದ್ದರೆ ಇನ್ನೂ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠ.
ಉತ್ಥಾನವೆಂದರೆ ಏಳು ಎಂಬರ್ಥ. ಶ್ರೀಮನ್ನಾರಾಯಣನು ತನ್ನ ನಿದ್ರಾವಸ್ಥೆಯಿಂದ ಹೊರ ಬಂದು ತನ್ನ ಭಕ್ತಾದಿಗಳಿಗೆ ದರ್ಶನ ಕೊಡುವನೆಂಬ ಪ್ರತೀತಿ ಇದೆ. ಆ ಭಗವಂತನು ಹಾಲ್ಗಡಲಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮಲಗಿದ್ದು, ಅವನನ್ನು ಸುಪ್ರಭಾತ ಸೇವೆಯ ಮೂಲಕ ಎಬ್ಬಿಸುವುದರಿಂದ ಈ ವ್ರತವನ್ನು ಕ್ಷೀರಾಬ್ಧಿ ವ್ರತವೆಂದೂ ಕರೆಯುವರು.
ಕಾರ್ತೀಕ ಶುದ್ಧ ಏಕಾದಶಿಯಂದು ಪ್ರಾತಃಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಂಭದಾನವನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿ ಉಪವಾಸ ವ್ರತವನ್ನಾಚರಿಸಬೇಕು. ಅಂದು ಸೋಮವಾರವಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಉತ್ತರಾಷಾಢ ನಕ್ಷತ್ರವಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠ. ಅಂದಿನ ರಾತ್ರಿಯಂದೇ ವಿಷ್ಣುವನ್ನು ಎಬ್ಬಿಸಬೇಕು. ಹಾಗೆ ಎಬ್ಬಿಸುವಾಗ ಈ ಕೆಳಕಂಡ ವೇದೋಕ್ತ ಮಂತ್ರವನ್ನು ಹೇಳಬೇಕು.
" ಇದಂ ವಿಷ್ಣುರ್ವಿಚಕ್ರಮೇ ತ್ರೇಧಾ ನಿದಧೇ ಪದಮ್।
ಸಮೂಢಮಸ್ಯ ಪಾಗೇಂಸುರೇ।। "
ಮಳೆಗಾಲದ ನಾಲ್ಕು ತಿಂಗಳುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಳೆಯು ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಜನಜೀವನ ಅಸ್ತವ್ಯಸ್ತವಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ. ಇಂತಹ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಸನ್ಯಾಸಿಗಳು ದೇಶ ಸಂಚಾರವನ್ನು ಮಾಡದೇ ಒಂದೆಡೆಯಲ್ಲಿ, ಚಾತುರ್ಮಾಸ್ಯ ವ್ರತವನ್ನು ಆಚರಿಸುವರು. ಆ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಶ್ರೀಮನ್ನಾರಾಯಣನು ನಿದ್ರಾವಸ್ಥೆಯಲ್ಲಿರುತ್ತಾನೆಂದೂ, ಚಾತುರ್ಮಾಸ್ಯ ಮುಗಿಯುವ ವೇಳೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅವನನ್ನು ಎಬ್ಬಿಸಲು ಸುಪ್ರಭಾತವನ್ನು ಹಾಡುವರು. ಅದು ಸಂಕ್ಷಿಪ್ತವಾಗಿ ಹೀಗಿದೆ.
" ಉತ್ತಿಷ್ಠೋತ್ತಿಷ್ಠ ಗೋವಿಂದ ಉತ್ತಿಷ್ಠ ಗರುಡಧ್ವಜ।
ಉತ್ತಿಷ್ಠ ಕಮಲಾಕಾಂತ ತ್ರೈಲೋಕ್ಯಂ ಮಂಗಲಂಕುರು।। "
ಚಾತುರ್ಮಾಸ್ಯದ ಕೊನೆಯ ಹಂತದ ಏಕಾದಶಿಯ ರಾತ್ರಿ ಒಂದು ಕುಂಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಉದ್ದಿನಕಾಳಿನ ಪ್ರಮಾಣದ ಚಿನ್ನದ ಮೀನಿನ ಮೂರ್ತಿಗೆ ಪಂಚಾಮೃತ ಅಭಿಷೇಕ ಮಾಡಿ, ಪೂಜಿಸಿ, ಅಂದು ಜಾಗರಣೆಯನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿ, ದ್ವಾದಶಿಯ ಬೆಳಗ್ಗೆ ಮತ್ತೆ ಪೂಜಿಸಿ ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣರಿಗೆ ದಕ್ಷಿಣೆ ಸಮೇತವಾಗಿ ದಾನ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು.
ಅಂದು ಧಾತ್ರೀ ದೇವಿಯ ಸ್ವರೂಪವಾದ ನೆಲ್ಲಿಯ ಮರವನ್ನು ಪೂಜಿಸಿ, ಧಾತ್ರೀ, ಶಾಂತಿ, ಮೇಧಾ, ಪ್ರಕೃತಿ, ವಿಷ್ಣುಪತ್ನೀ, ಮಹಾಲಕ್ಷ್ಮೀ, ರಮ್ಯಾ, ಕಮಲಾ, ಇಂದಿರಾ, ಲೋಕಮಾತಾ, ಕಲ್ಯಾಣೀ, ಕಮನೀಯಾ, ಸಾವಿತ್ರೀ, ಜಗದ್ಧಾತ್ರೀ, ಗಾಯತ್ರೀ, ಸುಧೃತೀ, ಅವ್ಯಕ್ತಾ, ವಿಶ್ವರೂಪಾ, ಸುರೂಪಾ ಮತು ಅಬ್ಧಿಭವಾ ಎಂಬ ಹೆಸರುಗಳಿಂದ ಅರ್ಚಿಸಬೇಕು. ಕೆಲವು ಮನೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತುಲಸೀ ಮತ್ತು ಶ್ರೀಮನ್ನಾರಾಯಣನಿಗೆ ವಿವಾಹವನ್ನು ಮಾಡುವ ಪದ್ಧತಿಯೂ ಇದೆ.
ಭಗವಂತನಿಗೆ ಪುರುಷಸೂಕ್ತದಿಂದಲೂ ಮತ್ತು ತುಲಸಿ ದೇವಿಗೆ ಶ್ರೀಸೂಕ್ತದಿಂದಲೂ ಅರ್ಚನೆ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು. ತುಲಸಿಯ ಎದುರಿಗೆ ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣನ ಪ್ರತಿಮೆಯನ್ನಿರಿಸಿ ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಂತರಪಟವನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದು ಮದುವೆ ಮಾಡಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ. ನೆಲ್ಲಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಾತ ಪಿತ್ತಗಳನ್ನು ಶಮನ ಮಾಡುವ ಶಕ್ತಿಯಿದೆ. ರಕ್ತದೋಷವನ್ನೂ ನಿವಾರಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿಯಿದೆ. ಅದರ ಹಾರವನ್ನು ತುಲಸೀ ಮತ್ತು ನಾರಾಯಣನಿಗೆ ಹಾಕುವುದು ಪದ್ಧತಿ. ಪ್ರಾತಃಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಪೂಜೆಯನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿದರೆ, ಸಂಜೆಯ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ತುಲಸಿ ವಿವಾಹವನ್ನು ಮಾಡುವರು.

The Vedas deal mainly with the subject of the three modes of material nature. O Arjuna, become transcendental to these three modes. Be free from all dualities and from all anxieties for gain and safety, and be established in the self.
भावार्थ : हे अर्जुन! वेदों में मुख्य रुप से प्रकृति के तीनों गुणों का वर्णन हुआ है इसलिए तू इन तीनों गुणों से ऊपर उठ, हर्ष-शोक आदि द्वंद्वों से रहित तथा सुरक्षा की सारी चिन्ताओं से मुक्त आत्म-परायण बन। (२.४५)](https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/s403x403/1000234_543377455739015_2089898312_n.jpg)
