Resolutions

“The last stretch was the hardest; the ever increasing fatigue worked against us. We frequently stopped to fight against the pain in our legs and to get our breath back. Some of us thought about going back but we carried on until the final  step up to the mountain top, which revealed to us the summit crater and the views. SIR RUTHERFORD ALCOCK. From the book THE IKIGAI JOURNEY”

My infinite salutations at the feet of  Master. Today we completed the 14th day yagyan and entered in to the 15th day of Sri sukta sadhna.  So i am not going to elaborate on the story Guru ji told today morning as most of you are known to this story.  It is the story of Mahabharat.  How Shantanu got married to satyavati and how Pandu  Dhritarashtra and Vidura ,the learned  one were born.  Sage Veda Vyasa’s contribution was immense.  And Vyasa himself was a Sri Vidya upasaka and he is immortal.  No body knew where he vanished after some time. But what we do know is to honour him we celebrate Guru Purnima which is also called Vyasa Purnima. 

                  We got another message also from sage parashara’s   story. Though Parashara was a maharishi and he wrote Vishnu purana and many more texts, somewhere he tried to avoid his death and for that he had to suffer a bit . He was old and fragile and was attacked by the wolves when he was going through a forest with his disciples.  His disciples could save themselves by running   but Parashara could not make it. Nature is always more powerful than we think.It takes care of everything in due course. 

                      What gave me inspiration today to write? Of course grace is there.  It is grace only. But what just came into my mind is our resolution. The vow or sankalpa we took on the first evening of our sadhna.  I think it is one of the best thing in the sadhna.  I mean in any sadhna.  Its so powerful. It is a realization,  a practical and logical realization we experienced while walking the sadhna path  along with our ever kind and compassionate Swami..It is a challenge.  Every day is a challenge. We have to do it. We have to sit at some particular time and we have to do chanting with our focus and bhakti. We  have to get up early by 4 a.m and get ready to go  to yagyan stahla we can not skip one day . Because we have given our words to Nature. We haves given words to Mother Divine and to our Guru. The entire lineage is watching in their subtle form. They are the witness. Giri ganga is the witness. We have taken the resolution.  What could be more beautiful than it?  People  who are not accustomed to harsh cold weather are also facing the challenge. Some got sick. Some got allergy in their skins. But with the protection and love and warmth of Swami. Our beloved Master we know we will do it. Resolution is so important in life. Only resolutions can give birth to Albert Einstein  or sachin Tendulkar  or vivekanand or Mary com or others…it can change the graph of life. It is our VAK SUDHI WHICH CAN BRING OUR VAK SIDHI. Resolution will and can make wonders. It will make us disciplined and balanced. 

                   So are you preparing  yourselves  to make more resolutions after  going from here?  Think about it. What is the thing you want to do and still are not finding time to do! Is it to meditate for 10 minutes? Is it to start practicing kundalini by referring to Master ‘s book ? Is it to call your old parents if they dont stay with you and make the call every day even if  you  are so busy? Is it to quit smoking or to get rid of pornography books or images or videos? Is it to walk every day, bask in the night sky every night.What would be your resolution? Is it to write a book? Is it to be more kind and not making things complicated? Choose yours delicately. As for me I have already chosen mine. I will focus more on my piano.  I will start learning Fur Elise of Bethoven. Thank you Guru ji for everything you teach us. Thank you is not enough but after working on us for so many years tirelessly day and night .  After giving us so much time from your precious time and loving us unconditionally,  we will  never do anything which will cause pain.  Please be in our mind and heart always. Be that Saraswati and sit in our throat. Be that Gayatri and sit in our mind. Be that manifestation… Make us pure like you. Make us sincere and make us that fighter. 

                As it is said by you and many more enlightened souls.. it is never too late to make another resolution.
