MYSTERIES & SYMBOLICS
sacred objects
Swami Ajay : “ It has been found that although Bhajans are being sung all over the world, there has been no success in rebalancing the negative energy and the positive energy. In France, we did several Yagyas to activate the Energy of this country and we had the vision of spreading the Lingam throughout the territory. Swami's vision regarding the propagation of Lingams was very great, but people ignore it. When Swami started materializing Lingams and giving them to people, it was to bring energy.
So Baba started to materialize several Lingams for people from Europe and all countries. People have carried these Lingams to their countries, all over the world: to America, to Italy, to France, to England... Swami gave no explanation when He materialized these Lingams, He let people free to decide how they were going to maintain the Lingams. God knows what He Himself put in these Lingams. In each country, there is an object that brings Energy. You carry this Energy; wherever you go with this Lingam, this Energy will spread to every corner of the land. And then, people like us also materialized Lingams. It doesn't matter that they are materialized... You can think that we bought these Lingams and did Yoga to keep them inside, if you will. People may talk like that but it's not true.
They are very precious objects, because they have been blessed and the Energy is in them. You will bring these objects alive through your belief. We are sure to have Lingams all over the world now who can do the job.
From November 23, 1993 until now, I have assumed the responsibility of doing Swami's work. Between December 8, 1993 and 2015, in all, between 2,800 and 2 950 Lingams all over the world: in India, France, England, Reunion Island, Rodrigues, Seychelles, Maldives, South Africa, Australia, Malaysia... Several Lingamswere placed in the world. It doesn't matter if people think it's faked. We are sure what these Lingams have in them and we can tell Swami that they are all already scattered all over the world.
Even if the person throws the Lingam into the ocean, the Energy works in the ocean. If the person throws it in another place, it is still on this planet and it is to do its work as Energy. We take advantage of this object, but the object is not interested in the person. You can put the item anywhere, it will still work.
At first I didn't know it, I had to learn all this. When I realized how extraordinary it was, I started doing other things, with Swami's Grace. "
This article is dedicated to materializations. For more on the spontaneous divine manifestations of Amrita and Vibhuti, please see This 1993 article below:
Swami Ajay materializes sacred objects of all kinds, including the seeds of Rudrakshas and Lingams, in addition to Vibhuti and Amrita. When he started his international work, he also decided to prepare traditional objects such as Yantras, which are not necessarily materialized but are filled with energy for a precise work. To find out more, you can read the satsangs from the 2014, 2015 and 2016 european tours which address the subject.
Swami Ajay : " Sacred materials play a great role in our life and in the world : Mantras, Tantras, Rudrakshas, Lingams, Saligrams, blessed objects, blessed statues... These are objects that have energies. They have a role to play for us and they help bring balance to our world. These objects do not only exist in France, but also in several countries. These objects have no negative energy, they are always 100% positive, daily and moment by moment. So these objects are playing a big role in our world, at the level of Energy. All this is scattered all over the world and brings good energies. We use objects because the capacity of human beings does not allow us to bring enough good energies. We have to use material supports, because we can't manage to have a balance between good and evil. Evil is stronger than good... We can't get through this stage, otherwise we wouldn't see everything that's going on in the world right now. It's normal. Our goal is to obtain at least a balance, using several supports. You are all here to serve this purpose. We are working very seriously, making an effort. Our vision is to protect certain countries, certain islands or certain parts of the continent which are truly dedicated. Several Masters work in this direction. They go to several countries and they put something there to provide protection... "
In order to protect and help European countries, Swami Ajay materialized many special Lingams which were consecrated : one for Portugal in 2000 and one for France in 2001, during the very first Yagyas. He then materialized three more a few years later, including one that no longer works (explanations provided). These stone eggs called Mohinis were sealed on marble supports, thus becoming 'Shivalingam'.
Complete explanation : In the shape of an egg or a column, they are the concretization of the force of Shiva. If placed on a pedestal, the Lingam (egg) which is called Mohini then becomes a Shiva Lingam. If the Shiva Lingam is an object of worship in a temple, it is Achaal Lingam. That is to say, it is sealed and cannot be moved. If the Shivalingam goes from place to place to bring His strength and His beneficial energies there, like the three Shivalingams of France and Belgium, it is called Chaal Lingam.
Lingams are the concretized form of the unique energy (Shiva), which becomes creation through its Shakti (dualist energy). The One become many... thus, the Lingam is the emergence of the 5 principal elements ; the Formless taking on form. The Lingam is the essence of all names and all attributes of God which is why it has an oval form. In an egg, the entire creation is contained. The visible object materializes the formless, which is not visible and has no attributes.
Swami Ajay explains : “ When a Frenchman whom I had met in India came to Mauritius to attend Mahashivaratri, I explained to him that Yagyas would one day be performed in France; not just one Yagya but many Yagyas.
He asked me what he could do and I answered him: “For now, take a lingam and do the Abisheka on this Lingam, in France” .
It was important that a Lingam should enter France, because he is my ambassador. Before coming, we had to send someone to prepare the ground. The Lingam does not need a passport or visa to come to France, it does not take up much space and it is not necessary to buy a plane ticket for it. Through this Lingam, the Energy was sent to the country! If the person does not pray or do the Abisheka, the Energy will still work. So when the first Lingam arrived in France, this Energy started working.
Then, other Lingams came to France. "
" It is not necessary to bless a Lingam!
Once it has been given, enjoy the Lingam during Abisheka... because a Lingam is already beyond all blessings. There is so much Energy in a Lingam that there is no need to give it to someone to have it blessed and recharged. This energy is always there for the Universe, for the village, the house and the surroundings. When you perform a ritual on the Lingam, it allows you to use this Energy. If you hold the Lingam in your hand, and pray for it to help you, thanks to your belief the energy can flow into your physical body, into your Aura and into your mind. Because at that time, the Energy will activate. This will protect you, bring you more good inside. There is no Feminine Energy or Masculine Energy in a Lingam. There is only one thing, it is the Paramatma, it is God who is without attribute.
God is all, He is Omkar, the primordial sound, the Word of God."
LINGAMS AND SALIGRAMS
BHAJAN HALL'S SHIVALINGAM
" When one is able to calculate, then one knows which Shivalingam is appropriate from the 1008 Names of Shivalingams. In Mauritius, it took us 18 months to prepare the Shivalingam for our Bhajan Hall... It is small and made of crystal, but it took us a lot of preparation time: for the Bhajan Hall, for the village, for all the constituencies of Mauritius and for the three islands. We took on the responsibility of doing the Abisheka every Monday. We use a device that rotates the Shivalingam automatically, from 6:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., and at the same time it gives much of Energy. With an auspicious Shivalingam, very well calculated for a certain place, whether one makes prayers or not it doesn't change anything. We take advantage of this Energy; it is always running, 24 hours a day, because it is there to protect the place. The rest of the Shivalingams are for devotion and it works. "
from the Sai Chakra website, by Thierry Laurent
" You may or may not know the story of this photo. This lingam was manifested during a discourse that Swami gave to the students of Whitefield's University. Many people have been healed by putting their bodies in contact with this photo. An Indian doctor, Dr. Doraisingham of London, resuscitated a child by placing this photo against his body. Sai Baba explains : “ wherever one keeps this picture, blessings, healings and miracles will take place."
Connie Shaw talks about this event in her book "Mary's Miracles and Prophecies" of which here is an excerpt:
" On May 5, 1991, Bhagavan Shri Sathya Sai Baba materialized a golden egg, which has many names and is rich in symbols. Baba has declared that the Hiranyagarbha lingam (the golden-hearted lingam) contains the entire universe in microscopic form. It is a manifestation of the Trinity Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva (of God as Creator, Preserver and Destroyer). It is also the atmic consciousness (the Holy Spirit) - like the thread running through a string of pearls. It is the spiritual heart. "
In the Museum of Religions in Puttaparthi, there is a quote from Swami referring to the lingam (lingams in general) as “the cosmic seed of Creation". After Baba materialized it, he declared that it was a great blessing to all who had this picture and it should be in every household. Swami's energy will pass through this picture and perform miracles. This is the first time anyone has heard Baba speak like this about a photo.
Dr. M. Doraisingham, whom I have never met and who sent me this photo from England, also sent me a one and a half page letter in which he tells me the following story: “Baba was standing on the dais of the auditorium in front of the Assembly gathered for the Summer Courses. He had just materialized the Golden Lingam and He asked Professor Sampath to hold the lingam for a moment so that Baba could examine the cultural program of the students. Professor Sampath is the Vice Rector of the Shri Sahtya Sai Institute of Higher Studies in Puttaparthi, South India.
He was literally transported. During the hour that the Professor had to hold the lingam, a heat invaded him and he fell into a state of divine ecstasy. After the cultural program was over, Swami played a little prank on Professor Sampath. He touched the professor's pocket as if removing some dust. Later, while they were driving together, Baba asked the Teacher to return the Golden Lingam to Him. In the grip of strong emotions, the Professor hastened to return it to Swami, he searched everywhere… in his shirt pocket, in his trouser pocket, on the seat of the car – but he did not find it. Eventually, Baba laughed happily and declared that He had returned the Lingam to where He had taken it. "
Dr. Doraisingham continues: “ Swami says that He created the Universe for His own pleasure and of His own will from the word AUM. Here again, He proves this fact by the materialization of a microcosmic universe in a few seconds with a simple wave of the hand and by His sole Will. This is the incredible power of our Supreme Lord Sai, whose Glory we cannot apprehend. But thanks to such an example, we can have a glimpse of it…"
Dr. Doraisingham also said on June 7, 1991, while on his way to darshan to see Baba, he came across a mother holding her deceased child in her arms. The child had just fallen from a crowded van onto the roadway and died instantly. The doctor had received the photo of the Golden lingam a few moments before and he placed it against the child... He chanted Om Sai Ram several times, prayed to Baba and massaged the child's heart and abdomen. The deceased child came back to life thanks to the energy of Sai that emanated from the Photo. The next day, during an interview with a friend of Dr. Doraisingham, Baba confirmed the incident.
Baba made the doctor stop, treat the child with the photo, and then told Professor Anil Kumar, " The child was already dead, by then" .
It is also said about this photo: Meditation on this Lingam (Hiranyagarbha: Matrix of Golden Light) brings strength and light,
because this photo is filled with the power of the Word (OM or AUM),
Thought and Love of the Avatar (Sathya Sai Baba).
HIRANYAGARBHA LINGAM
Swami Ajay : " You live in a very intelligent country. For us Mauritians, it is very expensive to come here. When someone is very sick, the hospital or the doctor tells us to come to France. To send one of our children to study medicine in France is very expensive. As soon as our child is two years old, we need to start saving. You're in luck ! Always look at the positive. I visited the hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, it is impeccable. The care, the devices and the kindness that you have... We don't have all that at home. It will take twenty or thirty years for Mauritius to reach this level.
It's not possible to be perfect, but you have advantages that save you a lot of money. You have received enough education to be able to reason, to think before you speak and to be able to eliminate the difference. We have a bad habit of comparing children and making differences between them: “My child is smarter than this other one. And then, we continue: “This human is better than that one”, “My country is better than the others”, “My money is stronger than this foreign currency”.
Because of all these comparisons, humans started arguing for power... now when I hear that “this Shivalingam is prettier than that other Shivalingam”, that really hurts me... Even at home, we don't find this type of attitude. How can the country be called intelligent when its people talk like this? … For every mother, her child is the king of this world. Every mother loves her child. Try to make your heart become like a mother's...
You must not judge or make differences. Moreover, if you do the abishekam on one of the Shivalingams, all the others are worshiped at the same time: there is no difference in the essence that animates all these Lingams. It is divine energy that has taken many forms.
Everything is fine... Everyone, in their planet, in their country, is pretty. There is no difference in Shivalingams. We did this for the country because we don't have much time. You think you have plenty of time. But we are doing everything very, very quickly and rushing, on the contrary. So respect all these Shivalingams. If you are lucky enough to receive a Shivalingam, do the Abisheka and pass it around to another place.
Do you receive the Trilokeshwaranath Lingam? You are lucky because He has to want it, otherwise it won't happen.
Why was this done? - It's so that France really benefits.
We started by creating only one Shivalingam, but we realized that the country is big. For me, it was not important to do several Shivalingams, but I see that time is passing. With the Yagyas and all that we do, we cannot make the energy progress... You may not be accountable to Swami but I am. You have no mission, you are with me... but I have. The mission is on my shoulders and I am forced to accomplish it anyhow. If the three-day Yagyas stopped, I would have to try to accomplish my mission differently, with a 15-day or 20-day Yagya. I do not have a choice. Its very important.
I don't come to France just to do a ritual, no. It's a mission that Swami gave us, just as in Mauritius. I simply hope that my physical body will allow me to complete all these things.
Everyone has their own way of communicating with God. You must respect everything you have in your country, always think well of your country, without making differences. Everything we do, we do for the great good. "
THERE ARE NO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FORMS
Mohinis (sacred eggs. The word "Mohini" means "hypnotizing, beautiful") materialized by Swami Ajay for European countries are placed on marble stands, thus becoming 'Shivalingams' . We call them "Chaal Shivalingams", "Chaal" meaning "mobile, moveable", which can be moved and can travel.
Over the years, Swami Ajay has prepared 5 Shivalingams whose vocation is to move and distribute divine energy everywhere, including 1 for Portugal and 3 for the Franco-Belgian territory. Lingams are welcomed from house to house by devotees who wish to receive divine energy and participate in its work. They can organize rituals in groups or at home... Thanks to these annual journeys, the energy of the Lingam can spread everywhere. These Shivalingam make it possible to catch up on time spiritually, to stabilize and balance the energies in addition to the Yagya. Swami Ajay explained in 2015, during the Spring Yagya : “ Every Shiva Lingam has a name according to his qualities, the country, the place. Since the Mohini was materialized in Europe, we calculated the energy from this continent and its ocean. "
CHAAL & ACHAAL SHIVALINGAMS
THE SHIVALINGAMS IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM
💫 Jyothirshwaranath Lingam : for Belgium and the North of France, up to Paris. The Mohini of this Shiva Lingam is associated with Shiva and Vishnu together. Its goal is to travel as much as possible, to visit as many places as possible to spread Graces there.
JYOTIR = divine light
SHWARA = Vishnu, form that brings us light in the world.
NATH = "Lord", referring to Shiva who protects this light for all mankind. These two forms (Shiva and Vishnu) are inseparable and represent two aspects of one God, the Great Light.
💫 Trilokeshwaranath Lingam : materialized during the 2012 Yagya in Belgium for the center of France from Paris to the Rhône-Alpes region. It was sealed on a marble stand during the 2013 Yagya in Portugal. It carries the energies of BRAHMA, VISHNU and SHIVA, which protect the three Lokas, the three worlds.
TRILOKE = represents the 3 planets (*) and 3 forms are responsible for it (the trinity).
ESHWARA = the form of SHIVA who is responsible for the 3 planets (lokas).
NATH = "the Lord, God himself".
TRILOKESHWARANATH Lingam = God, or the energy that came to protect our 3 planets and all the beings that are part of them. He is there to protect and give His grace. He is also the form of BRAMHA, VISHNU and MAHESH, the form of the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer ; the equivalent of the only God, One and Trine in the west.
The 3 planets or the 3 lokas: Mrityuloka, Pathaloka and Swarloka.
These three worlds interact with each other and are intertwined. They are spiritual states that are defined by vibrational level, and are represented as physical worlds. They are sometimes compared to Western concepts of heaven and hell, although they are quite different…
- Mrityuloka, Pritthviloka : material world where we are living, and which we can perceive through our 5 senses. Also called "mortal world". It's a world of transition : we incarnated, we live and then we go. Pritthvi means "the Earth" and Mrityun is "the planet where one dies".
Shiva explains to Narada : " It is time for individual souls to go towards the Earth, where one dies: Mrityunloka. Because they have duties to complete. We shall send them all on Earth so that they complete their karmas, and then they shall leave their bodies and come back to me. "
- Pathaloka : underground world, pathway to arrive on Earth. Every human being goes through it in order to be born and incarnate. According to sacred texts, Ahiravan (brother of Ravana) was in charge of the underworld. After Rama destroyed his brother Ravana and his son Ahiravan, it was Hanuman's son who took up the responsability of this planet.
- Swarloka : we can compare it to the Paradise but it's not an accurate description. The Swarloka is actually the home of the Devas, the great energies, the ministers of God (saints and angels). This is where all decisions are taken... and as the Angels are invisible to our eyes but their presence can be felt, this world also is pure spiritual intelligence in contact with God. The feet of these Devatas are located 3 feet upwards.
💫 Maheshwaranath Lingam : created for the South of France. Materialized by Swami Ajay during the first Yagya in France in 2001, in the Gard, at the Château de Terargue. It was then sealed on a marble base.
MAHESH, ESWARA = Shiva.
SHWARA = place where he does his work, the Prithivi Loka
MAHESHWARANATH Lingam = the form SHIVA took to come and protect us on this earth.
Swami Ajay's Satsang during Yagya 2018 : "Three Shivalingams are currently traveling in France and they have required a lot of sacrifices to achieve them.
A Shivalingam is an object of devotion that people in India do not share. It is sealed in a temple most of the time and people have to move around. There are not many devotional objects in France that relate to the work I do and for energy. We did Yagyas with devotees so that the energy spreads and protects France, and we created the Shivalingams. Few people know the rituals and despite this, the energy remains in the Shivalingams because we have sealed Mohinis on it. The Mohini is an extraordinary power... It is very rare that someone can materialize a Mohini because it requires a lot of sacrifices, strict diet as well as control of one's thoughts, actions and abstinence. Two to three months in advance, your body and your heart must be pure because you do not know when the Mohini will materialize, only God decides. The Shivalingams have to go everywhere and I hadn't thought France was so big. Thus, while traveling, we have materialized many objects including Rudrakshas. This seed has some energy but it fades over time... That's why we also materialized the lingams. The person had to want one, I wasn't offering it, it had to be their choice. Then, the Lingam left for France, with its energy. It is important in my work ; when I go into deep meditation, each lingam is a light bulb, a star that I see and it allows me to come to you. If it weren't for that, it would be impossible to come without the help of a master... His presence would be mandatory to exit and re-enter the body, but thanks to the lingams, it becomes easy. The Yantras also make it possible to do astral meditation without the presence of a master.
Thus, I come if a person calls me for a health problem or by devotion, but it would be wiser to call God.
The Mohini has an energy that diffuses, even when it is locked in a box or a place. It restores the energies present at the place and even those encountered while traveling by car, hence the importance of several Shivalingams. One day you will understand why all this was done; through the events, you will discover the power of these objects. These are the places, which we recharge. What you're doing now is having fun, singing bhajans, cleaning up the place… but all of that will matter later. This is for the future and for mankind. The Shivalingams must travel! ... Keep the Shivalingams moving - for one day they will become motionless. There will be a fixed place with the Shivalingam at one place and the yantras will be controlled from that place as it now exists in Mauritius. Then it will be up to you to come to the Shivalingam. Currently, you're lucky it's traveling. All of this will happen at the appropriate time. "
In 2017 : “ A Mohini is a bank that contains all types of Energies for the four oceans; it really works 24 hours a day. So we made the effort to bring in the Mohini to make up time, but it's a very serious commitment. People have the right to say it's wrong, because they don't have enough knowledge and they are afraid, but they also love their country and their planet. However, we are obligated to do the work that God has given us. So we brought in this Mohini and stuck it on the Shivalingam. People who believe are doing their duty. It was thought out in order to circulate throughout the country. When people come for the Shivalingam, they make it travel and the Energy of this Mohini can spread everywhere, in the train, in the bus or the car and in many places. The Energy of this Mohini goes very, very far, because we have very little time. Before major natural disasters happen, we try to make certain places safe. We do what we can, but we don't know the Will of God. We must pray, and that's what we do.
After creating the first Shivalingam it was found that the country was very big.
One Shivalingam could not cover all of France in one year. We tried to make up for time by creating a second Shivalingam. A lady wanted the second Shivalingam for France. She came to Portugal, she had the support prepared and we stuck the second Mohini for France on it. This Shivalingam does not work in France, it is another Karma, nothing can be done. (It's not listed above.) It's because of ego, the person wanted to keep it for herself. So, we created a third Shivalingam, with another type of Mohini. Now, there are therefore two Shivalingams functioning in France; you have to make the effort to propagate them. Do as you want, for me it's important that it works. It is a Mahabharata, Truth must triumph... Now, the Shivalingams have been given a name and they have to be spread all over the place. Despite the presence of these two Shivalingams, I saw on the map of France that the Shivalingam does not go to certain areas because they are uninhabited. It is important to take into consideration the places where there are no inhabitants and to put Energies there, which will always help to protect the earth. This is the work that we started to do. We need your help... Tomorrow, if we see that the Shivalingams are not working, they will turn around… There are other dimensions where we can intervene, but we cannot do it right away. We let you take the first step, if we see in the future that it does not work we will use other solutions.
Either way, we have to do something for this planet. I don't know why I'm telling you all this now, but God put something inside of us to talk about all this. "
Swami Ajay : " Why do humans take a bath? It is to cleanse the body, which will never be clean anyway because it is made from the earth and the 5 elements. In the same way, the Abishekam serves to cleanse our heart of all its impurities. You can use a variable number of ingredients (3, 9, 11, 12, 21 or 108). During a Maha Abisheka, each ingredient is served 108 times, or even 1008 times. These explanations are found in the Vedas. An Abishek is a conversation between Atma (the individual Self) and Paramatma (the Universal Self). By throwing the rice at the beginning of the ritual, the Atma asks God, who is here in the form of Shiva, the authorization to do this Abisheka. As Shiva kept the poison which was to destroy the world in His throat, we do the Abisheka to calm the fire that he has in him : the milk is used to cool His throat. Then, we wash Him: the water represents His bath. The saffron is offered to ask Shiva to become as he was before he swallowed the poison, and to remove all our obstacles. Rose water is His perfume... We do all this to ask God to help us in becoming like Him. Do not necessarily seek to reproduce the ritual as it was done in Mauritius or in a center in France; it is always better to act according to what our heart says. What matters is devotion...
The depth of our devotion can never be measured. Devotion is very, very deep. Devotion to God is a commitment. Devotion is a conversation with him. It is the desire to do. Devotion is really great. An Abishek is a form of devotion. These are moments that we seek to communicate with the form. Because he is always there… He is waiting for us with open arms : when his children will come to speak with Him ?
Why do rituals exist ? – it's just so that we manage to take the time to always be with this form. God is everywhere and his energy manifests everywhere, but we do not see him. We can feel that it is there : in nature and in every corner of our universe.
When we have a form in front of us, there is the energy which comes to manifest itself in this form. It gives us a certain opportunity to communicate, to talk and to spend some time with God. It is there, in this form. And it's our devotion that manifests itself in all these little gestures that we make. Devotion manifests itself in the form of worship... The devotion manifests itself in the form of a sacred bath. Devotion is manifested in the form of offerings…
The devotion manifests in the form of " prostrating oneself at the feet of our lord ". It's the desire to do someting... As soon as we really have devotion, it can change and improve our way of living.
It can eliminate all the obstacles that exist in our life.
Devotion, in other words, is love for someone. When we see the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, it's devotion ! When we see Hanumana's devotion to Rama in the Ramayana : this is devotion. It's love ! When you see Meera's devotion to Krishna, it's love… when you really see Sudama and Krishna's devotion to each other, it's love. When we see in the Ramayana, Shabari's devotion to Lord Rama, it is love.
THE SACRED BATH : ABISHEK
Devotion in Sanskrit is called “ Bhakti ”.
« Bha » in sanskrit means « Bhagawan » - God.
“ akti ” is love. This is also called Prem, a pure and selfless love.
So, " where there is love, there is God who is ever present. " But love is very, very deep, once again. Devotion and love always go together. Then, the practice of devotion (Navavidha Bhakti) is of nine types. When we do a ritual, it is a way of putting into practice the nine types of devotion. "
- European Tour 2015
Shri Sathya Sai Baba : " To sanctify human life, the nine types of devotion ( Navavidha Bhakti) are really essential.
We have: shravanam (attentive listening), kirtanam (devotional song), Vishnusmaranam (contemplation on God), Padasevanam (service at the feet of God), vandanam (obedience), archanam (worship, offerings), dasyam (servitude), sneham (friendship and relationship with God) and Atmanivedanam (complete self-surrender to God).
Man can sanctify his life by this process : sravanam, mananam, nidhidhyasanam (listening, contemplating and recapitulating on what one heard).
You will not gain fulfillment in your life by simply having darshan, sparshan or sambhashan of holy and noble souls. (That is: seeing the physical form = darshan. Touching the feet = sparshan. Discussion = sambhashan. These are three graces that we enjoy when a pure soul is close to us, but that is not enough. It also takes sincere effort as Baba explains:)
You will only gain peace and quiet if you have these three . "
“ Rudraksha ” can be translated as the eye of Rudra, or the tear of one who removes all suffering and pain. It is the seed of a tree found in India. There are several kinds : with different colors and different number of faces. Shiva is often described as a terrible form, or as the " God of Death ", especially in the West where the forms of God are misunderstood. This is an incorrect interpretation of the word 'destroyer' : when the world comes to an end, he destroys it as it was begotten because death is only a new beginning. Shiva is above all the One who destroys evil, bad tendencies and the pains or afflictions of mankind. It is a form described by attributes that humans can apprehend. Many other names of Shiva refer to compassion and tranquility... "Bholenath" for example means "The Lord of the people, the one who is simple and accessible."
Swami Ajay explains : " When I understood how energy and materializations work, then I thought of creating other objects. These objects are going to have a communication with the solar energy, with the energy that exists in this world and this can act in the form of a protection of our planet. In Mauritius, the Rudrakshas were shared with all the devotees who came to the Yagyas. These seeds of Rudrakshas are presently in this world, they also have a job to do with the Energies. These Energies are there to protect our country and the earth. "
RUDRAKSHA BEADS
Excerpts form the book « De Sai au Soi » on Rudraksha : "In Hindu symbolism, this seed has great importance and the fact that it is materialized must considerably increase its power. Mr. R. Lowenberg moreover mentions the testimony of an Australian who received a Rudraksha during his first interview with Swami in November 1979, in his book entitled : "The heart of Sai" ...
"Sai Baba turned to a young American and materialized a seed of Rudraksha; He held it up to show that it had no hole to put it on a thread. He then took it between his thumb and forefinger, blew on it - and the hole appeared. I don't remember what He said to the young man. Then He asked me: "How is your health ? " I was still wiping my tears and had difficulty speaking. I ended up saying, "Very well." He smiled and patted His stomach, saying: "No, not so well, not so well." He turned to the others and said, "He can't hear very well either." He said He was going to give me something to improve my general state of health, made a circle with His hand and created another Rudraksha seed, this time with the hole. He gave it to me and said that I should put it in about a teaspoon of water every day, drink that water, and it would improve my health. He also said that I would always have His Love and His blessings… Then He spoke to another man, materialized a gold japa mala for him and put it around his neck. He concluded the interview by telling us that He will see us all individually later.
At that time, I did not know what a Rudraksha was. A few people explained to me that its health benefits are only a secondary aspect and that the deeper meaning of a Rudraksha is that it promotes spiritual unfoldment. I was told that the Rudraksha is the berry of a tree and it is very sacred in India. The story says that Lord Krishna, to assist man in his spiritual evolution, created the tree of Rudraksha and that whoever had a seed would be greatly helped in his spiritual development. It was also explained to me that Rudraksha is a Sanskrit word, which means “the eye of Shiva”, the destroyer... Destroyer of the ego. When Mr. Gavila saw the Rudraksha seed, his eyes filled with tears and he became very excited. He said: “Oh! Arthur, the rudraksha is a most sacred thing ! to have one is very exceptional, but to receive one created by the Lord Himself is beyond anything."
I can still hear him say those words – He spoke so wonderfully, it was a very beautiful experience. "
It is through the European tour that Swami begins to propagate the Yantras, these metal plates with beautiful engraved designs. He suggests that Europeans receive one of these sacred plaques for their personal sadhana but also for their house, their land and even for the car. The Yantras play a role of protection and purification, bringing a lot of sacred energy and allowing to raise the invisible vibrations which impact the quality of life and the atmosphere felt. When used for prayer, they act as a support that channels energy and gives a point of concentration. They create a very powerful energy field and are used to protect the country.
A Yantra is a prayer support from the hindu tradition and is usually contained within an overall square structure, with various sacred geometric shapes. It is a visual support used in meditation, just as the Mantra is a vocal support. The ones prepared by Swami Ajay are of several types : for the house, for the car, for children, for the field… and personal.
Swami Ajay does not just hand out a Yantra or a Mantra to those who ask for it, he prepares them according to the specific needs of each person. Each Yantra is therefore adapted and unique, in this sense. Swamiji calculates the auspicious energies for the person, according to his needs, and assigns a prayer. The Yantra is then associated with a personal Mantra, or with a table of Mantras (which forms a Tantra). A prayer associated with a prayer support gives a symbol that allows us to evolve.
The Mantra is a mystical oral formula, based on the repetition of sounds said to be beneficial for the body or the mind. It can be in the form of a positive affirmation like " I believe in God " or in the form of one of His names, for example: “ Om Namah Shivayah ”. The Mantra has the power to influence the person who utters it and his environment, thanks to the vibration of sound and its resonance, while the Yantra generates a beneficial aura. The Mantra thus activates the Yantra.
The Yantra is the physical, visual support. There are several kinds of Yantras with different graphics and materials. They can be purchased commercially, but it is better to let a master choose the Yantra that best suits our own energy and needs. The quality also differs according to the suppliers and Swami himself chooses, in India, the people with whom he works to ensure the reliability of Yantras, perfumes and other spiritual objects. The Yantras prepared by Swami Ajay are engraved on gold plated metal plates and are supplied in a plastic envelope, which should not be removed, to protect the quality of the inscriptions.
Tantra is the symbolic part that opens energy doors. The jewels that we wear are Tantras, the Carpet that we place in a prayer room is a Tantra, as well as the photos of our grandparents or our children... It is a symbol that accelerates the energy, devotion, and purifies the environment. When they are in the form of colored drawings made on the ground (Rangoli), the Tantras make it possible to stabilize the aura of the place and the country. They create a link of direct communication with the Divine.
The word "tantric" has quite a different meaning that needs to be set apart. It means to "return, reverse" a good energy into a negative one. It is reversed to gain powers or favors... It always ends up bringing darkness and suffering. For example, the Nazis used the Swastika (peace symbol) as their emblem by tilting and turning it upside down. They not only returned the drawing, but its very essence.
MANTRA + YANTRA = TANTRA
The prayer associated with a support creates a symbol, a strong image.
THE YANTRAS
Swami Ajay : “ The Yantras were brought in and calculated how they could help the planet, while helping people in many ways. In Mauritius, we started giving four Yantras per person: the Yantra of the house, the Yantra of work, the personal Yantra and others. But we started running out of quality Yantra.
Because of the trade, the Yantras did not remain of good quality. So we continued with the most important ones: the house Yantra and the personal Yantra. In the case of Personal Yantras, you can take them with you wherever you go, in the bag. They do not only protect you, but also all the places where you go...
Consciously or unconsciously, it works. Whether you know it or not, it does its job !
The Yantra of the house must remain always in the house.
It is good to place the Yantra facing East, to activate the rays of the sun and bring this energy into your home, to protect it and keep it in good energy. The Yantra also protects the exterior of the house, your village or your city, and almost everywhere, depending on the distance it can cover. We've already sent 2,000 to 3,000 Yantras everywhere. We're sure there are items that work everywhere. »
THE USEFULNESS OF YANTRAS
Swami Ajay particularly recommends the use of water as a container of energy. (One can put a glass of water in front of oneself and pray). He insists on the role of visualization and concentration during prayer. It is also used by athletes, musicians and the military, because mental work is just as important as physical work to prepare oneself...
Swami Ajay explains visualization: " When you make this effort, you are taking a step towards God. If you take this step really well, God will take a hundred steps towards you. If you want to help someone during a Yagya or a prayer, visualization is important : otherwise your mind will not allow you to have enough concentration to get in touch with the energy. For example, if I want to make a Mantra for France, I prefer to visualize the President because power is in his hands. I see that he thinks well, that he detaches himself from the people who put pressure on him and that he is grateful to the country. Evil is happening everywhere now, but the time is propitious, because it still allows us to think well. There is plenty of room for the truth to still triumph. If someone around you is not behaving well, visualize that they are well and smiling at you.
For the country too, visualize that everything is going well. If you visualize your family, yourself, your family members and the country, things will change. In Mauritius, we wanted to make a change at the political level, in order to avoid a certain problem. This change was practically impossible to achieve because the government in place was very powerful financially. It was almost impossible to beat this force. Moreover, the opposition had few finances and no big plans. We said a lot of prayers for a month before the elections. We did yagyas especially for this change and we asked Swami to help us on His birthday.
We have sixty candidates, that is to say three candidates per constituency. The opposition party thought it would not have a majority, its candidates were not sufficiently qualified and they did not really plan to enter the government. However, the result was amazing! The opposition got sixty candidates elected and the old party didn't get a single one!
This is the power of prayer when we practice visualization! "
- Excerpts from PRASADAM 2017
IMPORTANCE OF VISUALIZATION
Swami Ajay: " The architect of God's name is “ Vishwakarma ” and it is he who asks Shiva that all this procedure of Creation should be written on paper. We have to keep track and transform it into an object so that this energy is always preserved somewhere. And with the help of Vishnu, Bramha and Shiva, they created a golden plate where they put all the qualities that exist in the Universe, the Pathal Loka and also in Paradise. And it became a Yantra. They put everything that exists, all the forms like Sarasvati, Gayatri, Varuna the rain, Suryya the sun… the 5 elements, the 7 rivers, the 7 musical notes… all of that to preserve that energy.
And then Lord Vishnu explains: " this Yantra will always remain on the Earth to protect and bring this energy, to balance this energy on the Earth. Its importance will be full in the Maha Kalyuga. ” (current era).
In the Maha Kalyuga, when it is difficult for truth to maintain itself, this Yantra will be used to bring positive balance into the planet. Now there are several types of Yantras ! There is the Kuber Yantra… there is the Indra Yantra. There is the Varuna Yantra. There is the Bhumi Yantra. There is Vastu Yantra. So God also explains that people who are not going to have knowledge and who are going to do something on Earth, after a certain time they will realize that there are mistakes that have been made. There, at that time, they can use their Yantra to fix the errors.
And along with the Yantra, they also created “Tantra”. The Tantras are symbols, like the ones you can see when you go to Puttaparthi : old ladies draw rangolis before Swami's arrival with the colored sand. Or during the festival of light, we make drawings on the ground. There are several names we use for this, one of them is Tantras : these are drawings that we use for the purification of our environment. To strengthen the energy of our aura. The aura of the country, the aura of the universe, the aura of the ashram.
And God… when Swami comes in his darshan, he gives his darshan through that energy because there are all the elements communicating with him, together. There are all the devas who come to see the presence of an Avatar on Earth. Because they have always experienced God above… but they have never seen God who incarnated in the form of an Avatar.
They ask themselves : how does he act when he comes down on Earth ?
The tantra opens all the doors of the devas so they can gain access to Earth. Without tantras, they cannot come. A tantra is the airport where the plane can land. Because without that, he won't know exactly where to land ! 'Tantra' is about protecting our environment.
It brings family unity, prosperity, happiness, satisfaction. It eliminate all negative energies. "
THE CREATION AND ROLE OF YANTRAS
" To be always ready for God, mother Sarasvati decided to create the mantras. They are made so that when we recite them, we always remain very close to God. One can feel that the Atma communicates with the Parama Atma. A mantra, when recited, is permission to communicate with the Lord... It's his name. And reciting the mantra is talking with God.
In total there are : Yantra, Tantra and Mantra, which they created for humanity.
It's all very, very huge, profound and great. Even when you start reading the sacred texts, especially in today's world, it's not really easy to explain. You have to be very precise, there are so many little details. It's a way of conversing with God, it's love... So they used all of that. But all this is not by obligation. It is with the desire to do so, with the thirst to know more, the thirst to know God. This Shivalingam, in other words, is a Tantra. All the words that are uttered honestly are a mantra. And all lies become "tantric". It's up to us to decide and make the right choices : God gave us everything and he adapted everything. "
PREPARATION OF THE YANTRAS BY SWAMI AJAY
Swami Ajay: "Now I shall explain to you the Yantras that were given to people during the european tour and prepared in Mauritius. To do this, you gave me your informations : first and last name, date of birth and where you live – as normally there are several types of Yantras. But we can't really prepare the exact Yantras according to your informations, because the planetary system is changing, especially now. It changes very quickly... But we are really looking for the Yantras that are appropriate for you. If we cannot find this Yantra according to your name, then we prepare it according to your date of birth. And sometimes, we see that the date of birth does not correspond… If God asks you : “ what is your address ? " then you are not going to answer that it is in France. We do not speak of the body but of the Atma... So, where is your residence ? … You come out of a planet… and you have your master, already assigned. Someone sent you to Earth. Who is the person who sent you to Earth ? In which airport did you land ? Which plane did you take ? Where is your visa ? Where is your passport ? Are you a tourist ? What is your status and why are you coming ? What did you come to do on this planet ? … When the baby comes, we go at the hospital with our wife who is going to have her baby, we stay and really wait for the proper time with our little notebook. Initially, it was for all people... but over time not all people wanted to keep this tradition going. But we, brahmins, do it. When the child is born, we don't waste time. We ask : "the child was born at what time ?" and we note it precisely. It's important, because afterwards we'll have to do the ceremony for this baby.
Returning home, we take out our sacred book : there is a book for ten years, a book for twenty years, 25 years, 50 years, 100 years and 500 years. We open and really look at the time the child was born. To which planet does it correspond? Now if we see that the child was born between two planets, it means that the energy is not as favorable as we would like it ; one has to do a ceremony to put the child on one or the other planet.
Then the child belongs to this planet. Then we calculate, this planet is controlled by who? So, his master will be Indra, for example.
There is the master, and there is the associate master : “ Swami ”, which is another master like Lakshmi , for example.
And for this hour, his favorite God is whom ? – it is Vishnu.
And the day of Lord Vishnu, which day is it ? it's Wednesday.
He came from which direction ? - North.
Oh, so that means his side is north. The day he will build his house, it will face the north. His office too, should face northward.
And the color of his clothes ? – the color of his day corresponds to a precise color : orange, red, yellow…
so let's say it's white. The days when he sits down for a prayer, he will always wear the color white. And then there are ceremonies to do.
In Mauritius, we do ceremonies for the sacred rope for the boys because we are not sure for how long we will live. But this quality of education is leaving, it does not exist much. We still manage to do it though. We make the effort. So we do sacred rope rituals, for example... But at the age of 10, it is up to the parents to take on the responsibility of doing this ceremony for their son. This ceremony is done for the son by purifying the physical body with saffron. Five priests are brought in who represent the five elements. And if there are not five priests, it is a priest who does it but with other things as well. We do the ceremonies for 3 days. After the ceremony, we make the prayer of our house. We also have wedding ceremonies. All these ceremonies that we do are to stabilize this physical body and the 5 elements. It's not just for boys : it's also for girls. Each will have a different ceremony. And tomorrow if this child needs, he can help other people. If there is someone who is deceased and it is necessary to do the ceremony for his funeral, then he is authorized to do that. Because he has already done everything ; he is allowed to continue this ritual for other people, for society, for humanity. And tomorrow, if he goes somewhere else and he wants to get married, it's not necessary for him to do the rituals. Because he has already done everything at the age of 10, he can get married. On the contrary : he can do these rituals for the girl he loves ! That's the beauty of it. He can do it himself instead of bringing in a priest. He performs this ceremony himself, he explains how to perform this ceremony, and at the same time he is getting married.
This is for boys. Now, for girls too, it's at 10 or 12 years old.
For the girls, what we do is once again purification. As for the boys. Girls, they are considered as Lakshmi. And in Mauritius, especially at home, in our family we really consider girls as happiness, as a great gift. That's a lot of grace. And that changes a lot of things… But there is still this trend that persists in mentalities : “ it's good to have a son to be heir ." However, I don't know here but in Mauritius it is mostly girls who take care of their parents, more than the boys. So we also do this ceremony for the girls : we call the 5 priests and we give knowledge of the five vedas : the four vedas + upanishads. And this girl who received all that, if tomorrow she wants to help her mom or anyone with the rituals, it's possible ! If she went to another country and she wants to get married, she is free to marry someone because the ceremony is already done. It is not necessary to redo it because the ceremonies are already done. On the contrary, she can help her husband to do other ceremonies before she gets married. This was just as to explain birth and birth rituals to you.
The Yantras too are almost the same. When you give your name and your date of birth, we try to see what it corresponds to who you are, what your energy is. And me, personally, I have never done anything approximately. We have to be serious… And you know, when we do something that is not good, in return we will receive things that are not good. I know that, I have experienced that. You reap what you sow. Since my childhood I experience all this. It is not necessary for God to come and tell me : " why are you doing this ?" - I reassure myself. I know what I'm doing and I have nothing to reproach myself for. If we tell lies to someone, we will be lied to later. But as long as we give something good, there is only good that comes our way. What is also important is that we do not expect anything in return. But automatically, the good manifests itself since one has done good. We planted a positive seed : the fruits will be satisfactory. Now, if you plant negative seeds, the fruits that come out of them are not pretty. And it gets karmic ! Every action has a consequence - and we forget. Then we ask questions like: “ we do so many prayers, so many Bhajans, why we have problems ? Why is God giving me trouble ? " But you forgot ! and especially when you promise something to someone, you have to keep your promise. Think twice before telling someone you're going to do something for them. If you tell him " I'll be there tomorrow " and you can't come, you'll have to complete that later. The person will wait for you… It's a form of karma that you have to pay back afterwards. Sometimes when I fail to prepare the Yantra from the name, it is because the way your name is spelled does not match the meaning. The name is good, but it doesn't correspond according to the planetary system. So it happens sometimes. For example in French we have: “ Rémi ”. But the R and the 'e acute accent' do not exist in our sacred text. To search, we must remove the accent: " R-em-i ". But there, “ Remi ” doesn't match your name… and you have to look for other things. So we take the date of birth, but sometimes it's not even the real date you were born because there was a mistake. But we have to be sure about a Yantra... That's what's taking us a bit of time. And if we see that it doesn't work out with the date of birth, we look at where you live. And we try to see the country and the ocean. Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Arctic Ocean and Atlantic Ocean ? … it is according to the energy of this ocean. And it often matches your home address. So we try to calculate all that and we arrive at a Yantra that corresponds for you. This is for personal Yantras.
Personal means it's for you. It always stays with you like I said, in the bag. Or for children and students, it can stay in the bedroom. In this Yantra, we put qualities : “protection, realizing, evolving, grace, harmony, intelligence, knowledge, education…" - it means that all these qualities exist in this Yantra to help you to get this grace, the grace of these qualities. And then, we put a mantra that is suitable for you. And it's possible that if someone sees your Yantras, they will say : “ but Swami Ajay is wrong because it is not good to write '21 times or 108 times'. ” ... that's true. Normally one should always recite 108 times. And whether it exists in the sacred text or not, that I don't know. But, 21 times, why did I write it? … Because it happens that one has no time to recite 108 times. But at least do 21 times ! Instead of not doing, do less. That's why we wrote "21 times or 108 times". Otherwise, some people see 108 times and they say : “ one hundred eight times ?! … Swami, can't we do less ? A hundred and eight times Swami… and on Sundays too ?! Before eight o'clock ???"
So much I heard this and it tired me so I said : "how can we do? ..." - then we decided to write: 21 times or 108 times. No constraints, you are free. So : “ 21 times or 108 times with water ”. It means : pray with a glass of water in front of you. But we didn't put the word " glass ", because we won't know if you're using a bottle or a glass... so we put only : “ water ”. For example, if you visualize Lourdes, you leave and you take its water… it is already water. Water stabilizes the energy of prayer. You can then drink it, share it with your family or make tea, coffee, juice with this consecrated and sacred water. It integrates into you and purifies the water contained in your body. Your prayer is coming true. "
PERSONAL MANTRAS
Swami Ajay: “ God is not interested with Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam. He is interested in humanism, belief, energy, values… Because the energy of our body, all of us, is almost the same. The color of our blood is red. We are the children of one father and one mother : God. So this Yantra only recognizes human energy and deep intentions. If you are unable to recite the mantra, you can pray your own way. If your favorite God is the Blessed Virgin Mary, you continue to recite your prayer of the Virgin Mary in front of this Yantra. Are you used to saying your Jesus prayer? continue to make your Jesus prayer in front of this Yantra. It is important that you are sure of what you are doing. If you know other mantras, you can do other mantras. If you only know the Gayatri mantra, you can do the Gayatri mantra! It all depends… but the moment you put this Yantra in front of the glass, you focus on your prayer. Concentration matters a lot. It's important to positively visualize everything you want to do and accomplish. "
" Your master is here to give you all the explanations of life ; not only for Mantras. Its very important. When you come to the interview, you are given Mantras, but it also takes a lot of time to calculate. It's not done roughly, you have to be sure of what you're given. We also make the effort to give you a little of the meaning of the Mantras. The meaning of Mantras is very deep. There is an explanation for each letter of the alphabet that makes up the Mantra. The letters grouped two by two bring other explanations and for three letters united, there are still other explanations, etc. The same word is different for each person. If you compare your Mantras, you may find that other friends have had the same Mantra as you. For example, three people had "Om Gam Ganapahaye Namaha", but the explanations given are different. This is normal, because the practice is different for each of them. We know what we did !
From your date of birth, I calculate with Swami's Grace how we can help you evolve. We have very little time. When you sit in front of me, you explain your problems to me... but before you finish your explanations, you already start talking to me about your child. Then, before you finish explaining your child's problem, you start telling me about your grandson. Before you finish, you move on to your friend's problem. It's as if a doctor is consulting a person, and at the same time he must diagnose all his family who are not there! It's very complicated, but we still make the effort to do what is necessary. We listen to you patiently. In my case, in relation to Swami, I want to do things right. So, I try to give the correct meaning of the Mantras, so that you have an idea of what you are doing. Mantras are not everything, it also requires your personal effort, your belief. As a priest, one can complicate everything. There are many who do. But it is not because the prayer is complex that God will be happy... The simplest Mantra is the easiest to receive God's Grace.
There are trillions of Mantras (Mantras, Maha Mantras, Rudra Mantra, Bheej Mantras, etc.), but not all Mantras are applicable for everyone. Mantras are given to people according to their evolution, because there is a small engine at the level of our physical body; you have to start by preparing it, getting it used to it, before starting it. This year, I changed the way of proceeding a little because we don't know what may happen in the future. Times are changing, anything can go wrong at any time. So, we took precautions for the new people who come to get a Yantra: we provided them with a small table so that if something happened on my side or on their side, they could still continue their Sadhana. You are given these Mantras because they are cleansing Mantras. You are then left to practice, clean and get used to it. Do not think that you will be given the solution to all your problems and that everything will be solved immediately. Not everything can be settled. You only know the problem, but you don't know how it came about. When you are given a Mantra, you have to know which doors are open at the level of your chakras. You have to start by closing these doors with Mantras, before you can solve the problem of your physical body.
As long as the gates of your Aura are open, nothing can be fixed, because while one problem is being taken care of there are more to come.
You are given Mantras to make all Auras in your physical body correct. We do a complete check-up; we look at what works well and what does not work well; we open or close certain doors. When we see you again, we are sure that everything is working really well. When problems are fixed once, they cannot come back a second time, if you stay in the right direction. Because the base is really solid and we know your base. By adding these practices to the other Sadhanas you do, it helps you in your evolution: the help you give to others, the prayers you do, the Satsangs you attend, the Bhajans you listen to at home... When you come back the next time, we look at you, we feel your energy and when we see your Mantra, we know who you are. At that time, we don't need your name, or your date of birth, nothing. We know who this Mantra is for: they give all the information. At present, we are here just to feel what you have done. For a few minutes, we feel and we listen to you. I check if what you say and what I feel is the same. I won't tell you that you're not telling the truth, if you lie to me. I respect you and I'm not saying anything. I begin to prepare your Mantras; so I know straight away if something is wrong. For us, what is important is to help you progress. Even if you lie. If we see that you are devoted to your child, we will encourage you to help him. It works like this. "
“ How will you know if you are progressing? - There are four stages in our life: single life, married life, life of detachment and life of renunciation. If you are in married life, for example, see if your couple is doing well and continue your Sadhana. It's important to feel peace inside and not have confusion. Sometimes you may find that certain situations are heavy and difficult. If all the efforts you have made on your side have failed, now is the time to leave everything at the feet of God, at the feet of our Lord. In this case, it is He who takes everything in hand. As long as you think you can fix the problem on your own, He won't get into it. He is always there, He is waiting for you… He cannot interfere with your Karma. He lets you work. But when you can't find a solution, God takes care of your problem and He takes care of you. What is certain and what you must always keep in mind is that God will never let you down, because He is always there. He is our Father, our Mother, the Holy Spirit, our Master; He is Everything.
He is permanent for us, He alone knows why he sent us to earth, because we have forgotten everything. He knows what we have done in the past, but have already forgotten. He knows what awaits us in the future and what is good for us. You can ask for anything at any time, it's desire. But He knows when is the propitious moment for you, to realize your desires and if it is good for you or not. Even if you have to wait for the right moment, He never lets you down. Yes, it takes time and it hurts, but you came to fix it all. Try as much as possible to protect yourself; try to stay cheerful, have a nice expression and be correct. It's important to keep smiling, despite the ups and downs of life. As long as you are happy, you can bring that joy to others and your Lord within you is also happy. When you are unhappy, He inside is unhappy. It takes a lot of effort.
Again, the problems will still be there. Even if there are problems at home, in the family, accept them with the help of your discrimination. If not, what is the difference between you who came to the Yagyas and the people who stayed at home? If you're like them, it means you haven't been taught. The best thing, many times, is to keep quiet and think positively. You can fix many things with positive thinking. Through your sadhana you can do many things. If you're on bad terms with your neighbor, think he's smiling and talking to you. You will see what will happen in a few months. It's not just a 'miracle', it's effort meeting Grace. In all your Mantras, we have already written: Grace, Protection, Evolution, Transformation. You need to have the will, the desire and the love to do it. If you are unable to do your Mantras in the morning, you can do them at another time. It is advised to do them in the morning, because from four o'clock to eight o'clock, God gives us His Grace even if we do not recite the Mantra correctly. These schedules are always positive. But, after eight hours, it's positive and negative. It takes more effort, because there is a struggle between these two energies. There are traffic jams, everyone is awake.
The Mantras you have received only take you fifteen minutes in the morning. You can also do the work of your house while reciting these Mantras.
Rather than doing your Mantras for fifteen minutes while sitting, you can do them for half an hour while walking. You will receive the Energy of these Mantras, which will spread everywhere. When you do the Mantra or your prayer in the morning, your physical body is recharged with Energy. You will be safe all day. If something karmic happens, it will be mitigated and simplified. Then your day will go well and very calmly. Make a habit of reciting the Mantras in the morning and the obstacles will move away. "

" There are many names but the Energy is one: it is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This Energy always brings good to yourself and to others.
Lingams can have several colors, it is Shiva and Parvati, which does not mean male and female; it is always our Lord, unique without a second, but who takes on forms. All the Lingams that are here bring good to our Universe. All of us have come to this event not only for ourselves, but also to represent all of mankind, the country and the entire Universe. God can take the form of a lady as well... Vishnu incarnated several times in female form but that does not mean that He is a woman or a man. Parvati incarnated several times in the Form of Shiva, just to test Rama's devotion.
So, one cannot know exactly, but the Energy is always the Paramatma.
Paramatma is our Lord, the Creator, Destroyer and Preserver. He is everything on this earth, He has no left or right energy, no feminine or masculine energy. The Lingam is also beyond all that. Make the most of your Lingam during Abisheka and keep your Lingam on you, it is not necessary to have it blessed. "
