2024 Predictions

This week’s unedited notes:

The year of Anger and how it plays out; also, Ancient Secret to Hatha Yoga flexibility and a few Vedic verses explored

Upcoming year predictions are self-evident from watching the news and taking a step back. [as well as jyotish]. 2024: Our planet’s year of Anger, chaos, and conflict in all areas of life will continue throughout the year and well into 2025 BUT it is a clearing out process for good times to follow.  The world will then wake up to natural law, wisdom, and in-sight.  It is amazing to witness the degree to which mass mentality is so easily manipulated.  Yet the grassroots of humanity are always closer the Mother Nature.  Wisdom will emerge.  Just hang in there for now!  Think if it as a tint in the color of the water of the ‘fish bowl’ that will clear.  So, watch your anger!

Global events will be evaluated based upon one’s bias.  Think about it.  What happens in Ukraine, Israel, elections, climate change, borders, etc. etc. 

Whatever happens, half the world will see it as great, the other half will see it as disaster.  But the big picture is that we are in the phase transition.  That is a time when things bubble up in chaos as we have been seeing.  But after the chaos of 2024/2025, we will be on the right course.  Time and Mother Nature will let us know what that right course is.  

Hatha yoga secret to flexibility revealed.  

Tight muscles are about the nervous system, not the muscles!

Check it out:  

Panditji and Lakshmi will be attending a world peace havan in Varanasi, India in January.  I was invited to attend but my Mount Soma duties require me to stay at home.  ‘Would have loved to be able to attend.

Brahma Sutra:  Essential Knowledge “Now, the desire to know Brahman”

Notes:

Dedicated to all sincere and humble seekers

athato brahmajijnasa…”now the desire to know Brahman”

everything gravitates to the Absolute.. i,e. evolution either drifting or Knowledge inspired

srisomesvara.org  click 3 bars to right of ‘select page’ to make a donation

“The higher we are placed, the more humbly we

should walk.”

CICERO 

I was recently approached at the temple by a very kind and respectful young Brahmin gentleman. He spoke of his longing for true Knowledge. This touched my heart and compelled me to reflect deeply. I have been a teacher my entire adult life.  I have learned a great deal about people and how they receive or reject Knowledge.  The road of the teacher of deep knowledge is long and often leads to heartbreak.  How can a student remain steadfast along the path?  Where to begin such a limitless journey?  What are the pitfalls along the way?  Where and why along the way do so many spin out on tangents?  The simple answer it that a persons karma brings them to the Knowledge, and their karma takes them away.  This podcast is one more attempt to help.  It is humbly dedicated to all sincere seekers. Perhaps it will be the first of an unending series.  Or perhaps it is yet another in the lifelong unending series.

meditation..  experience vs knowledge

TM or youtube channel how to meditate

Veda traditionally not chanted for meaning but rather for repetition… meaning changes at various level of consciousness.  experience/knowledge

7 heads 7 levels of intellectual understanding

“practical” application

“You must train your intuition—you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide.”
INGRID BERGMAN

However “Intuition” rooted in Chit [Conditioned subconscious, programming, personal childhood ‘issues’, stress, etc.] is not true Intuition

Ancient Secret “cell phone” to the Gods

this weeks unedited notes:

The “physics” of Is-ness: Transforming the “Dark Ages”

first day of waxing moon is called “no moon” day.  not a day to start new projects but good to worship ancestors, etc.    then the next two days are “new moon” days.  the second “new moon” day is auspicious and good day to start new things: Shiva Moon

political motivations are often very different than that of the voters

Is-ness = Consciousness…the only thing that is… isn’t a ‘thing’

Agama Shastra “cell phone to Heaven”…  entry… invite Gods to enter..  there is an Agama Shastra for each deity,  

yantra: all actions of havan create a ‘machine’, a yantra, 

mantra: emergence of deity between yantra and tantra of havan 

tantra [2 meanings one for humans e.g. meditation, one for gods receiving influence of the havan]

fish bowl effect:  kali yuga:  we are all swimming around in the same fishbowl.  who is not affected?

“The greatest chapters in history always begin with risk, and the same is true with the chapters of your life.”
MARK BATTERSON

risking nothing is a great risk.  everything is a risk.  nothing ventured, nothing gained. we are always traversing the unknowable. risk is the nature of the unknown.   the only true knowing is knowing you know nothing

futility of debate:  to talk another out of their feelings is to impose denial… better to help them explore what they are feeling,  The light of awareness is the true healer.

Unification of Paradox; The Art of Decision Making; What Really Does/Doesn’t Matter; How to be Great

Mai Pen Rai…  Thai: it doesn’t matter,  nice motto for the soul 

Horizontal and Vertical unification/integration

The Art of decision making: everybody makes decisions constantly even the choice to not decide is a decision

Memorial Day

Warrior/Leader, Life on the Line

baby/bathwater;  the anchor and the waves; connotations

it is not necessarily about reflecting and mourning all day long.  but take a moment as a family to address it, its value, its meaning.  that more than a huge lecture will instill values in our children.  touch their heart and then let them figure it out for themselves.

loving your country in kali yuga

be the person you would like to believe you were in a past life.

Home/Om/Womb:  The Lords of Moksha

Current Events:

Kaivalya;  Samhita; Kumbabishekam; Ultimate Tech

This weeks unedited notes:

Eternal Wholeness of the Totality; Veda/Nature/Cosmic Tech/Liberation

“Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.”
ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Kumbabishekam and Pandits

Temple first day when they started chanting

5 Havan Kunds going at once.  Thrilling Booming Reverberation of Transcendental Wholeness permeating the earth, the air, and to the very depth of our being 

physiology… when yo finally get enlightened you will realize how ridiculously physiological it is”

purification

Make it a yearly event!?

volunteers were all so great, focused, selfless ,,  

“see job do job avoid the misery” painting, flowers, mowing, rooms, kitchen, etc, etc.

ladies singing bhajans brings to me a sense of my eternal inner home with exquisite childhood memories of family weekend get togethers.

———— 

Samhita Value, permeates everything in space and time

Undefended means innocence just simple innocence

You have to have experienced everything before you get enlightened

The witness with a capital W is Samhita. Wholeness.

The world is a wholeness 

“Somewhere out there some group that knows this because it is Truth”

World needs an axis to exist.

That is why there is always a north and south pole, completing the Samhita Value

The Yugas:  Role of the rakshasa value. An axis has two poles: The time value of Samhita…  Healthy relationship with.

Current Events: 

As the phase transition to Sat Yuga continues, things in the news are getting more and more ridiculous.  Just remember it is the nature of the transition to an Enlightened Age.  No worries.  Everything will be fine.

Ancient Secret: How We Created and Sustain Our Current Situation

The global mind, The frame, Patanjali, karma, perception, and prana

Life is all about the frame it’s all in how do you frame it?

Every interaction is a long-term goal every thought 

we do not really perceive.  we project onto

Existence too is all about framing… vastu, set theory, field theory… how the universe was created and sustained… all done with mirrors…

What is a set theory? What is a field?:  the field you project is the reality you create for yourself…  every experience then confirms for you what you believe to be true… the color glasses you are wearing. Set theory.  Filed Theory

’You gift is also your challenge’  Like many people, my gift is that I see the good, the divinity, in others.  My challenge then is that I overlook their shortcomings until they come back to bite me.

free will  or predetermination?

karma + prana = The Mind

How to heal the planet… the Ancient Secret revealed.

My favorite Willie Nelson song:  

Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground w/ lyrics

“Circumstances don’t make the man, they only reveal him to himself.”

EPICTETUS

“Know how to listen, and you will profit even from those who talk badly.”

PLUTARCH

Blurring or conflating Vedic studies with religion, is a big mistake    The Veda is the vessel that holds all fields of knowledge all of life all of existence

diversity of thought,  communication/communion vs polarization..judgement vs understanding… friendship

1/3 of 18-25 year olds believe in higher power.  my question:  higher than what?  what do they mean by a ‘higher power’.  I believe it is not what I mean by higher power.  I too do not believe in what they mean by it.

Real World Jedi Knights of the Universe

Today we take one step further into the depth of understanding of how the universe works.

The song “imagine”:  It might read like a grade B sci-fi movie

”Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.”

ARTHUR ASHE

”We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.”

CHARLES KINGSLEY

Archery in the Veda.  Multiple Levels

Yajur Veda,  Dhanur Veda,  Martial Arts, Archery,  Yoda in Star Wars..Jedi Knights.  Highest level of Archery and martial arts lies far beyond physical combat

But Pandits are Brahmins

Krishna was a Kshatriya—embodiment of the Knowledge—“Bridged” Brahmins with Kshatriyas you might say,

the story/trajedy of Angkor Wat

Leaders are Kshatriyas,  warrior, ruler, leader, king.  tip of the arrow.  Builder and maintainer of the enlightened city. 

Tip of the arrow. Positive attracts Negative. Its not the role of the Pandits.  Building a Shiva Temple.  Building an Enlightened City.  Huge challenges.  Not comprehended even when explained… “I get it syndrome”.

 Your Ugadi reading follows below.  You need to know the sign (according to jyotish) the Moon was in the time you were born to read the following chart.  If you do not know what that Moon sign is, anyone with basic jyotish knowledge could help you determine that.  The numbers on the left in the column below are the jyotish moon signs (1=Aries, 2=Taurus, etc.).  The next numbers in order are Income, Expenses, Honor, Dishonor, and Lucky Number.

TOMORROW (SUNDAY) EXTREMELY AUSPICIOUS DAY

Tomorrow (Sunday, September 13) is a very auspicious day. There is a jyotish planetary configuration that has not occurred for 200 years and will not occur for another 200 years. All the planets, except Venus, will be in their own signs or exalted etc. Panditji suggests that you light a little ghee lamp or candle in front of a picture or murthi (statue) of Mother Divine and say a little prayer to Her on that day.  Meditation on that day will be particularly beneficial.
