SRI VIDYA MEDITATION The traditional Indian Schools of Philosophy that are known as darsana or realization are Advaitha, Dvaitha, visishtadvaitha, Nyaya, Vaiseshika, Sankhya, Yoga, Purva Mimamsa, Vedanta and Saiva Siddhanta. The Hinduism has, within its fold, various traditions like Ganapatyam, Kowmaram, Saivism, Saktism, Vaishnavism and Sowram. The Ganapathya expresses the ultimate truth, as the creator the Lord Ganesha the cause of creation. The Kowmaram understands the life as winning over the evils. The Saivam explains the concept of five elements and the path of meditation. The Saktism defines the process of energy. The Vaishnavism is the theory of protection. The Sowram is worshiping the solar energy as the Supreme Being. But, Sri Vidya is the equalized approach and a holistic philosophy of all these concepts. It is also called as Brahma Vidya, which is the non-dualistic - advaitha philosophy, Athma Vidya the great realization of the Athma. Maha Vidya that it is the great one and Sri Vidya which is the ultimate knowledge that one could realize. What is Sri Vidya? Sri Vidya is the philosophy of Global Oneness. It is a sect, cult or a fellowship which is mentioned by a Sanskrit word Sampradaya that arises from Saktism which is a branch of Hinduism. Sri Vidya is based on the oneness of the Universe and calls it as the Mother Goddess- Lalitha, who is the unified form of Siva and Sakti- the male and female energies. It is intended to furnish a right method of philosophical enquiry into all the subjects and objects of human knowledge, including the process of reasoning. It is a non-dualistic approach. It is a method for attaining peace, concentration and Godliness. It is a theory and practice of becoming, which is the real transformation form unreal to the real. There is a traditional path of Sri Vidya, which is nothing but attainment of realization through personal penance and rituals. They also worship and meditate upon the Sri yantra and the Goddess. They separate themselves from the real world thinking themselves as the people of high purity. Some other people from tantra cult try to attain all the earthly treasures through tantric practices or left oriented techniques of tantric worship. There is a strong misconception towards tantra cult regarding the adoption of certain rituals related with the usage of Mamasa (flesh), Matsya( fish), Madya (wine), Mudra (gestures), and Maiduna ( fornication). In the light of vedantic realization the word mamsa has been explained as the sacrifice of earthly attachments, the Matsaya denotes the unrest of mind and mastery over such senses, Madya means the nectar emerging from the top of the head and coming down through the inner tongue while practicing kundalini yoga, Mudra are the meaningful communications with the divine energy and Myduna denotes the unification of the male and female concepts within oneself. But after twenty years of my saintly hood and practice of Sri Vidya I realized that I have been directed by the Great Mother Goddess to develop our consciousness of Sri Vidya by not only performing rituals but as a process of transcendence in the present time and space through meditation and selfless service for which I am in need of writing texts explaining the new dimension. Thus evolves the Sri Vidya meditation. Sri Vidya meditation leads to global unity, peace and happiness. It is an integral philosophy beyond all the discriminations of all classes, castes, creeds and religions. We the human beings, animals, birds, creatures, living and non-living things, devils, demons, evil and holy spirits… all are the children of the Great Mother Goddess. There is no two. All are one. It is not only a form of religion but way of life. We realize the true love of the Mother through Sri vidya. Our philosophy is Sri Vidya. The deity is Sri Lalitha. The holy text is Sri Lalitha Sahasranama. The path of attainment is Sri Vidya meditation and the way of life is selfless service. The ethics of Sri Vidya is truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence. The people who follow Sri Vidya way of living should study all other faiths and should respect them. They should lose their identity in the ocean of humanity. They should sacrifice their ego for the sake of well being of the global society. Sri Vidya meditation is a specially designed method to re - program your mind towards conscious being. You have to only spend a little time daily, but those minutes will make a remarkable change in your life. It has three parts and they are 1. Purification of mind 2. Spiritually charging the mind by Sri Vidya energy 3. Stabilization of the Sri Vidya energy If you practice the above spiritual meditation regularly in the early morning for 27 days there will be immense benefits. You will be blessed with good health, well-being, intellect, character, wealth, social status, spiritual bliss and universal peace. The eight-fold benefits of meditation can be attained. 1. Purification of your mind Why we need mind purification? The mind is like a crystal clear pond. The purity is spoiled even because of a small disturbance. There are three possibilities for the contamination of our mind. Our sub-conscious mind has records of our ancestors in subtle form. This has to be completely erased. Then only we could feel the brightness of our life. Secondly, many evil vibrations created by others contaminate our thoughts. We are unable to realize the real light of our life due to this disturbance. Thirdly, we meet with many miseries in our life as the out come of our selfish deeds. These sorrows, depression, failures, fear and anxiety are some of the forms of impurities loaded in our mind. Sri Vidya meditation directs to purify our mind by removing the impurities. There is a stream of thought, one thought following another in succession. These thought forms are the spontaneous output of the mind, coming into existence and becoming non-existent at the same moment without the control of the thinker. One should learn to streamline these thought forms. This could be achieved only through cleansing of Manipuragha Chakra, which is explained in the course. 2. Spiritually charging your mind Human mind has two concerns. One is material and another is spiritual and one cannot exist without the other. The mind learns and realizes easily about the material world, which is sensible through the five senses organs. But, the question is that how to understand the spirit? There is an inner light, called self or spirit. The more you approach the real light of self, the more darkness of delusion vanishes. The inner light has to be ignited or induced with the help of spiritual practices. That is nothing but a fearless stage, with boldness and tremendous love. The vast majority of the people do not understand the meaning of this reality. What is the use of searching for the spiritual power in the outward journey? It can be attained within us. Sri Vidya meditation teaches you to charge and energize your inner mind with the help of sacred syllables. After this stage one can trace the presence of the spiritual energies in and around. The doctrine of the Sri Vidya meditation postulates that our body consists of exactly with the elements as those of the Universe. What is in the Universe is there in the body as well; and what is there in the body is there in the Universe as well. In other words, by correlating the centers found in our body to the countless stars and planets in the Universe, it may be concluded that the Universe and the body are one and the same. The connectivity between the Universe and us is all- important. If we lose the signals we may not be able to live properly. Sri Vidya meditation enables us to realize the inner self and identify the same with the Universal abundance. 3. Stabilize the spiritual mind power It is due to our ignorance; slowly we lose the connectivity or the charge of the spiritual energy. In order to stabilize the invoked energy we have to learn certain techniques and processes. Many of us think that spirituality is related with certain God or Goddesses, caste, creed or religion. In fact spirituality is nothing to do with religion. It is the realization about the abundant invisible energy dwelling all over the Universe. Human beings are the complex creations of body, mind and spirit. The first one is the physical manifestation and the rest are subtle. There are “Nine” stages of existence; Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Sky, Conscious mind, and Sub - conscious mind, Super conscious mind and the Supreme Being of Universal existence. These stages are there in the human (body) as (energy) centers. The life forces that make us alive and dwells from the toe to head through these energy centers are connected with the Supreme Being. The spiritual life energy flows from the Supreme Being end enters through the human body, through the conscious mind center in the body. But due to other reasons the connectivity is disconnected. That is the reason for all our sufferings. Sri vidya meditation helps us to stabilize the spiritual mind power and to spread the same to others. After the said steps you will be taken to the next position of a 27 days practice of Sri Vidya meditation. Before trying to start Sri Vidya meditative techniques, it is necessary to understand the mighty Kundalini energy found (hidden and inherent) in our own body. It is Kundalini, the serpent power (female energy) of mother Goddess, in the form of a snake, coiled in three and a half a turns, awaiting to wake up at root chakra to reach and unite with the ultimate male energy at the Crown. Kundalini means an energy in the form of a coiled snake in three and a half turns. Kunda means coiled, Kundalini is also called or known as "Bhujangini", Serpent power. Three coils represent the three-root character Sattva- Truth, Purity or equilibrium. The non-moving nature of the Universe. Rajas - Kinetic power of the universe. The moving nature if the Universe, Tamas- The power of Inertia, the lower of the three gunas, the constituents of Prakrithi, or material nature, the neutral nature of the Universe. Half a turn- represents the beginning status of Vikritis the modification of Prakrithi or material nature. This indicates the transcendence of the soul from ignorance to great light of realization. There are six basic energy centers namely: - Earth center, Water center, Fire center, Air center, Sky center, Conscious mind center, and Sub - conscious mind center, Super conscious mind center and The Supreme Being of Universal existence which is beyond the body, mind and spirit consciousness. The large expanse over the head is known as Supreme Being of Universal existence. Let us now see in detail the abodes and characteristics of all the above centers. -SWAMI SRI JAGANNATHA: © SRI LALITHA PUBLICATIONS |
