Sharanagata Mantra Blog: February 14th 2008
~~OM~~ Inspiration on Taking Refuge Sri Ramakrishna demonstrated the meaning of devotion and achieved the epitome of its success to such an extent that it could be defined only by one word. In the Bengali language it was termed Vyakulata, sincerity, deep sincere longing, so intense that one can think of nothing else. Sri Ramakrishna speaking on surrender says, "In this world of objects and relationships we want to surrender our soul. This is God's desire. He has placed us in this world of objects and relationships. What can we do? We want to surrender it all to God, even our own souls. If we do so, there is no more confusion or conflict. Then you will see that He is doing everything. Everything is God's desire." -- Ramakrishna: the Nectar of Eternal Bliss ******

Chandi Sadhana 2008: Kilakam~~OM~~
***** We continued our discussion of the Chandi Path with the Kilakam (The Praise That removes the Pin). In verse 3, Markandeya Muni says, "by means of the mantras of this hymn, they (whoever recites the Chandi) attain the perfection of indifference to each and every object of existence." What is this perfection of indifference? Swamiji explains that this perfection makes us one with everything. We accept everything. We become the witness with no personal attachment, no personal agenda of our own. Another expression that Swamiji uses to explain this state of indifference is "Udas". Das means servant. U means Circumstances. Udas makes us indifferent to everything. That is, we are the servant of circumstances, we accept what is and try to make it better." Swamiji adds, "Without tapasya we can't do it. We can't attain that kind of indifference where we are one with everything. And Markandeya Muni says, "The person who constantly recites, clearly removes the pin and becomes and attained one. That person joins the retinue of the Goddess and becomes a celestial singer." -- Kilakam ***** Follow these links to useful resources on the Kilakam:
