The Essence of Indian Spirituality

The rich tradition of Indian Spiritual Wisdom can show 'us' human beings :-the path out of the present world wide crisis/ phenomena : whether social, economical, or political  disintegrations ...
Sri Aurobindo : the great Maharishi/Yogi- seer poet who retired from an active political life into his ashram in Pondicherry for the realization of the highest Spiritual Truths with the yogic-discipline Sadhana of The Divine Mother...who embodies the Divine Consciousness-Force -Bliss for the realization of  Supreme Truth.....
" In the Sri Aurobindo Centre, Delhi, some Sadhaks organise The Study Circle :-they do readings and discussion of the basic ideas of Indian Thought from authentic sources, thereby giving a glimpse of the inner spiritual reality , as given by the writings & various disciplines of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo..." ( fact read in AHANA newsletter 2001year ? article  by Anil Vidyalankar )
Since The beginning of the Age of RAMAYANA and MAHABHARAT,, some great spiritual rishis and seers  such as  Brahmarshi  Sage Vashishtha and Sage Vyasa evolved , enlightened beyond the Time- Space Continuum  to manifest the Eternal Truths,reflecting, embodying , disseminating, sharing the Ancient wisdom of The Vedas...into the very core of language, thought, philosophy ( अध्यात्म) and Life- Sciences as an Integral and inseparable part of the sublime manifestations of  Satya in the forms of Rita, experienced as सत-चित - आनंद !!!*
In the words of Sri Aurobindo : " The whole universe is a manifestation of  Satya The Truth, in the forms of  Rita, the Primal Energy ....परा-शक्ति  या आद्या-शक्ति  ...!!! The Absolute manifests itself in two terms, a Being and a Becoming. The Being is a fundamental Reality; the Becoming is an effectual reality, which becomes the dynamic power and results, a creative energy and working out of the Being...."
Maharishi- Aurobindo's yogic-sadhana is also reflected in His epic -mantric -poetry SAVITRI : in which He gives to Humanity the  Symbolic -Visions of a greater Humanity aspiring for  Divine Life upon this Earth.:- one can visualise  or experience the Sun-lit Truth-Light visions- " I saw the Omnipotent's flaming pioneers come crowding down amber stairs of birth,  I saw  them cross the twilight of an Age, The sun-eyed children of a marvellous Dawn....Their tread one day shall change the suffering s of this Earth, And justify the light on Nature's face...."*

ps : The above extracts have been inspired/  from the books bought from the SHABDA & VAK bookstore of Sri Aurobindo Ashram. This blog is an attempt to Integrate personal, subjective & objective experiences as also gathered from the workshops  attended  in The GNOSTIC CENTRE, Bijwasan.!!!*( years 1997-98)
This blog is just another - work ; to cleanse, purify & enlighten soul's intellectual  faculties so that  my family & -friends also receive Knowledge -light & grace of The Divine Mother , including even from my parents' Guru -Ashram in Rishikesh- Tehri-Garhwal, :- The Vashishtha Gufa: where Sage/ Swami Purushottamananda meditated/  did yogic-sadhana to realise Para brahma consciousness....!!!* Upto this day, meditations and yagya- havan-home are performed by parents' ashram devotees & sanyasins , who illumine, enlighten many aspiring souls on the religious & spiritual path of Self-realisations....!!!*
These words of wisdom in no way undermines my experiences of devotional bhakti & sudarshan kriya learnt in the ashram of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar of  ART OF LIVING organisation ( years 1999/ 2000).
