Light To Earth

Everything that happens on earth elicits a response. The choice is ours to respond with fear or understanding. With kindness or hatred. Bring light to your heart before you respond, and with that bring light to earth

Maharishi Om - Vedic Mathematics (or a Calculated Guru?)


Maharishi Om is well versed on many subjects but his talks are rarely if ever shared in public.
These rare talks are given to individuals and small groups in the house where he stays across from the Ambaji Mandir. On one particular day he began a talk that started with our place in society then went on to finances and Vedic Mathematics. Some of the things he said went right over my head, nevertheless I took down every word. Here follow the words of Maharishi Om that I captured in my notebook on that day.

"We are affected by each other. We are social. There is no escape, we have to be a part of society.
War never stops because there is a reaction to action. So we try to avoid those actions which affect our peace and destroy others peace.

Every individual soul has the capacity to be advanced in a positive way. Life experience makes you advanced. Similarly you have the possibility to be negative, it depends on mental direction or mental shift, constantly keeping your mind in a good direction.

If you want to achieve something you have to constantly explore. All at once you will discover the ways to get to your goal.

Don't keep all your apples in one basket. Don't keep all of your investments in one place. diversify them, but all in safe places. People put all of their money into their house and then when the house (value) goes down there is no money for retirement. Some people put their money in the stock market
then September 11TH came and they lost everything, because their money was not in safe places.

Understand the undervalue or overvalue. A person might wonder (when contemplating an investment), 'How can I find out what my profit will be?'
Look at the face value and quantity of the total shares and divide the number of shares/ short stocks with the total yearly company net earnings. Now you can see what you will get per share in profit. Check the stock value. What price is it at now? How much income will you get on that investment, at that price?  People know this, but they do the opposite. They don't listen to Guruji because they believe in speculation or gambling, not in Vedic Mathematics. Those who are calculated, it does not mean that they are bad people. They may be wiser then others. You can use your calculations in the right or the wrong way. It totally depends on the mind, the intellect and the thoughts, how you process them or calculate them in a direction so they will either give negative or positive results or profit, or loss or gain.

You are in charge of your destiny. That includes your financial destiny.

Temptation. Be aware of those thoughts which can cause loss or harm to your life. ('They' will say this is again calculating.) Calculation is not wrong. Calculating forecasts the future, and all big government corporations and businesses hire people with extraordinary capabilities of calculating forecasts, it is called economic forecasting. You can be a good forecaster it only requires great focus and a knowledge of math. That keeps your head cool if you become a Vedic mathematics forecaster, or if you gain knowledge about mathematics.

If you are a good mathematician you can account for your actions as well, but the majority of people want to hold others accountable, not themselves. Their math focus is on others not on themselves.

Knowledge is always good. Not knowing something is called ignorance, because you are acting on something you do not know

Turbulence comes in life, but the majority of the time you are stable. You are stuck when your focus is only on apprehension, not on comprehension. (For example; What thought triggers another thought?) If you think a negative thought it will bring in a chain of negative thoughts. Bring in nice thoughts. Generate them. There is an energy with each thought and emotion.
Every thought is a word. Every word has a sound. Sound has a vibration, either positive or negative.

Knowledge is infinite. Never stop exploring. Everyone can always learn something. The most important things in life are intention and attitude. If you have pure intentions you will be happy, because you have pure intentions not to hurt anybody. You should know when your positive becomes negative for others,  ('I should not bring that in conversations of business or relationships'...). That is conflict management. Why bring up issues that make other people upset? If you have less conflict, you will have less pain.

There are many aspects of understanding. Understanding of truth makes you happy.

Assumption and possibility are not the same. If a cat is coming, and a bird is in the nest not using his wings, instead is praying, that will not help the bird. Get out of the way. That is the solution.

You should have only belief in truth, not in self or others.

You should not believe in something which is beyond possibility, and you should not believe,  'I am perfect'. There is always the possibility of imperfection. You should not believe in having full confidence about everything. You can do some thing about somethings, that is a possibility, the opposite is not. Find out about those things which you do not know. Inquire. That is only possible with Vedic mathematics, calculating the end result of your thinking process."

Maharishi Om On the subject of war

The subject of war became a running thread through the conversations I had with Maharishi Om on my last visit to see him. He spoke of the necessity of being aware of the political state of our world and of the potential for war that is at hand. He spoke of Islam in less then flattering terms and often brought up the clashes in Syria. We read a long article on Russia's weapon sales to Syria.

I did not want to be interested yet he persisted in telling me about the violence going on in our world. I am a  meditator,  a yogini, war does not  have a place in my life. I didn't want to know, but it was my Guru bringing it to my attention. He told me there had to be an awareness about the potential for war that is at hand.  I guess he thought people were not paying attention, obviously I was not.

Back home a brief glimpse at the news shouted out at me like never before. Turkish Islam, Hezbollah, Syria, Istanbul, Afghanistan even Santa Monica, California. The unrest was palpable.

The next time I visited Guruji  he continued in the same vein, "The possibility of a Third World War started on Sept. 11, 2001. Check the data, how many war related deaths since 9/11?" I did a quick 'google' check  even though  the idea seemed daunting and there were innumerable war related death statistics worldwide since 2001.

The real war scenario he said, is that on one side there is Syria, Iran, Iraq, Russia and China, and on the other side, Saudi Arabia, (in the 2ND person), Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt, Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon. {Saudi Arabia supports extremist Sunni Muslims, Iraq, Iran and Syria support the Shiite Muslim}
While America, Britain, France, Israel- watch. 'They may or may not join. They are involved. They offer 'humanitarian' support, some say they are supplying weapons.
Has World War 3 already started? These countries are sending soldiers and weapons, they do not announce it, but it is a reality.

Guruji spoke of  the Nostradamus, predictions for our time saying Nostradamus predicted there would be a  big disaster in the middle east and in Africa. Nostradamus foretold there was a possibility millions would be killed.

Then Maharishi Om said, "Human beings are not evolved in the arena of peace. At home they fight among family members and neighbors, there are many differences based on language, ethnicity, color and religion. Human beings are divided as never before. Differences are high. Big corporations and governments are fighting over resources. The people should be aware of this, they are entrapped. They should avoid violent discussions, move to safer areas. Some places are safer then others- with less crime rate. Even though there is plenty of food and natural resources are available, people are still dying of hunger because of mismanagement and business people will suffer due to their mismanagement."

Guruji only wanted me to be aware and to bring awareness to others so that we do not enter into war blindly, ignorantly. Be Awake and Aware! that is Maharishi Om's motto. When we are aware of the  existence of the  possibility of harm we can at least prepare to move out of it's way.

Maharishi Om also spoke to me of Lord Krishnas' tactics in battle. In the stories of the great epic, Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna retreated more then once, he pulled back from war in order to save lives.

That Memorial Day weekend  and subsequent  days with my Guru have expanded my world view and have given me a new sense of care and concern for my world family. May we one day all live in harmony with one another.

Mother Consciousness



My holy children

I Am always and forever your Holy Divine Mother.

Turn to me when your heart is heavy. I will dry your tears I will give you a reason to smile. You are my precious children, my love. When I look at you I see all of God's glorious manifestations.


I have dreamed you into existence. I have created you from my own cells and the soil of the earth. I have carried you in my body. I have birthed you. I have breathed life into your soul. I have set you down upon the earth and I have watched you grow. I will always guard and protect you.

Mother cares for the well being of all.

The word  'Mother' can be said to be the most adored word on earth.

The word mother in every language means the same thing, my haven, my protectress, my guide.

The Holy Divine Mother of the Universe is love.
The Holy Divine Mother of the Universe is love that is given.
The Divine Mother Consciousness is the Holy home to all hearts.
The love of Mother is the safe harbor to the soul of humanity.

Divine Mother Consciousness is the New Consciousness of life.
Where there is love, compassion and mercy Mother is present.

Divine Mother lives in the present moment.

To dwell in the heart of Mother be kind. Mother loves her children's kind expressions towards one another.

Turn your gaze to Mother and she will shower you with love and affection.
Her love is personal, direct, intimate. Her heart is on fire with infinite Divine love for all of creation.

Open your heart wide to the joy and bliss of your Mothers' love. Let her pour forth all of the love she has in store for you.

She will shower you with  rays of Universal consciousness that will awaken you from your deep slumber, so that you may live in light.

Awaken now my children! Awaken to the love and light that is yours. Mother waits silently beside you. I am your Mother, I am always close by. If you fall I will help you up and nudge you to carry on. No need for tears my child. I have cried for you.

Be at peace. Be joyful. That is what Mother loves to see. Mothers' heart is overflowing with love for her children. You are never alone.

Mothers' tears come only when her children suffer. Then her heart is in pain.
When Mothers' heart is in pain even the earth suffers. All is connected my children.
The heart beat which is Divine Mother is the cause of life. Her breath is the pulse of the Universe. It is all one. The unity of all creation beats in the heart of Divine Mother. The universe is alive with her breath and heartbeat. She is the whole and the one. All is inside of her. She is the cause and the reason for creation. Because of and through Divine Mother all has come to be. She is in all things and all beings. Know her through laughter, through  joy, through  hope and aspirations. Praise her with  success and  achievements. Love her through the care and comforting you give to the ones who suffer.  Save the holy souls who have lost their way, from fear and sorrow, from depression and mental illness. Know she is the protector and guide.

Mother is here.

Mother is always with you.

Loneliness is a word which says, I have no Mother, horror is a word which says Mother is not here to see me do these terrible things, no one can see.

Mother sees.

Know that, 'Mother is here and is always with me'.

I Am the Holy Divine Mother of the Universe. I Am here with you.

I Am always with you.

I Am always your Mother

Let us all be Divine.

 Mother is here.

 Maharishi Om Speaks on The Eternal Om


Our spiritual lives begin with our first breath. At that moment a commitment is made to us by the Divine. Divine says 'I am always with you'. The Divine says to the newly born, you do not have to do any thing consciously, yet life will be breathed into you everyday, every moment. As long as the body is alive there will be breath, and so it is. We can live an entire lifetime busying ourselves with the mundane not even noticing that we breathe. We Breathe! It is a phenomenal occurrence yet so often it happens unconsciously in humans.

There are many, many secrets wise sages and ancient yogis have uncovered about the power of breath control, bodily control, and mind control. They have taught us through example that we can be the rulers of our own existence. We do not have to live unconsciously. The secrets they have shared over time on breath control alone are mind boggling. The  evolution of humanity is at hand here. The attainment of higher states of consciousness can be had through breath control. All Mahatmas (great souls) know this. They also know that  the time to share the secrets of evolution has come.  Knowledge can no longer be kept secret. Knowledge is being given now to those who are ready to receive it.

Maharishi Om shared with a small group recently, such knowledge with the intention that it be further shared. It is a practice using the breath and the primordial sound of the Eternal Om that can awaken consciousness.

I was fortunate to be among the group  to whom Maharishi Om spoke on the subject of the creation energy of the universe and the Eternal Om.  What follows are the highlights of his talk...

Maharishi Om/ Eternal Om

There is an infinite energetic pulsation which permeates the Universe. This energy is responsible for all manifested things. Matter originates from this energy. God's particles originate from this energy. All planetary formations come from this energy. This Divine energy is the source of all living creation. This energy is the life force of all that is. Its' sound is energy, its' sound is the Eternal Om. This is the primordial sound of the universe.

Chanting 'Om' connects you to your own true source within. Reciting 'Om' in a rhythmical way calms down sensual urges and takes you deep within yourself  where inner peace resides and where  vibration  is positive. Positive vibes come from this rhythmic chanting which give a feeling of fullness, wholeness, a feeling of being complete.

The Eternal Om energy connects consciousness to Natural Law.

Rhythmic chanting of Eternal Om merges consciousness into collective consciousness.

The rhythmic, silently chanted Om takes one to the bliss state of consciousness. One established in this blissful state experiences ananda and shanti, bliss and peace, self contentment (peace with self). Bliss, peace and great satisfaction are experienced.

A long inhalation while chanting Om in silence and continuing chanting Om in silence while holding the breath as long as possible can generate Divine energy. Repeated practice causes ones' self to merge into Supreme Self or Unity Consciousness.

Using the same long inhalation/ exhalation while chanting Om out loud, just before dawn, on an empty stomach, facing east, for 24 minutes causes one to become free of sickness and possibly self realized if the practice is done with dedication and without missing a single day for six months. By practicing continuously without missing a day, one can merge self consciousness with other planets.

The person who practices this gains power, understanding and knowledge of nature, planets, birds, animals, their wants, their message.

During the dedicated six months of practice, one should repeat each night before sleep, while lying in savasana (corpse pose):

I AM THAT

I Am not This Body

I Am Separate From This Body

This Body is a Vessel

I Am Energy

Repeat these affirmations once, then sleep. You will feel like an observer of your own dream, you may have out of body experiences.

You will become higher then the trigunas (highest states).

Become like a lamp that does not flicker.

This is the essence of OM
