Vedas empower women

Last Friday on 8th March, many people around the globe celebrated International Women’s Day. Look at the world around you, women are empowered by their prevailing presence in courts, corporate powerhouses, parliament, entrepreneurs, scientists, writers and social activists – they are everywhere! As a housewife, a mother – they are the strongest in raising a whole family. There is a big difference in the Western world of feminism which is about fight for equality, however, women in ancient India had enjoyed the equal status with men. They were educated and even trained in the art of warfare by choice. Tell you honestly, it is only when I become a living Hindu that I truly feel empowered as a woman. Before that I had suppressed this dimension of me being conditioned by the parents and society. It was only by the grace of my Guru, His Divine Holiness Bhagawan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam (fondly known as Swamiji) that I discovered the power of Divine Feminine Consciousness. When he awakened this dimension in me, tremendous healing happened in my inner space. I become the embodiment of Shakti, Devi Durga (Cosmic Mother). Last Friday, I facilitated an impromptu session for a group of almost 30 Chinese devotees where I brought understanding to this aspect of Vedic tradition, then I took them through a healing process by invoking the presence of Shakti – Divine Mother.

Ability to trust before I jump!

This year after my return from the last retreat in India with my Guru – Paramahamsa Nithyananda (fondly known as Swamiji), it felt like so many things had happened in my life in the last 10 months! From losing the financial security to deciding to move on to a totally new life with a complete unknown in the future, the only thing that gave me the courage and strength to keep going was the trust in my Guru as I took the jump into the path of unknown in my life. To tell you honestly, to take the jump into the unknown requires tremendous courage. Without trust, it is impossible to take that leap of faith. Whenever there is even a slightest doubt, be very clear, we will never take the jump and even if we were to take the jump, it will not be total. If the jump is not total, we will only be badly bruised!

I discovered that once I had taken the jump, wherever I landed would be the right place. All these trials and tribulations that I underwent were nothing but tests from life and the surgery I meant to go through as part of the metamorphosis in becoming Sadashiva (Super Consciousness).

False security is the biggest danger in life

Are you centred only on logic?
Do you feel accumulation of wealth gives you tremendous security?
Do you always plan precisely your whole day routine?

If your answer is a ‘YES’ to any one of the above questions, you are a person living in the length dimension. Length dimension means anything with a systematic logical flow, a repeated flow with the same logic every time. Whatever is known in the Universe, 99.99% is logic. But the Universe comprises both the Manifest (Vyakta) and the Unmanifest (Avyakta) components. The unfortunate thing is our society can only grasp the length dimension which is rooted on logic. Hence, the collective unconsciousness in society creates an imaginary security using the illusionary concept of electronic currency and the zeros in the bank balance. With electronic money, you may be better secured but not absolutely secured. This is because relative security is not real absolute security. People who are constantly striving for security in life with money will find themselves cheated by life as all it takes is an accident to wake them up and they will realize that they are living in illusion. Security and wealth are the false security which makes human beings not seek the true security in life. The false security is the biggest danger in length dimension.

In Vedic tradition, money is not Lakshmi (a Hindu Goddess who represents the energy of wealth, fortune and abundance), using money so that you allow it to flow as currency is Lakshmi. Hoarding the money is known as Kubera wealth that neither allows you to enjoy the wealth nor others can enjoy the wealth. Instead the flow of currency is Lakshmi wealth where you treat money cheaply by sharing generously and allow Lakshmi to follow you. Fundamentally, the absolute wealth is the number of hours you are intensely alive in a day without being affected by your hormones or other external factors. That is real security because you are not touched by anything external, you are centred from within!
