Letters full of Love to our beloved Madhukarji

2010-03-04T09:18:00.000-08:00

Dear Madhukarji!

Already since the first day of the Awakening retreat I have felt your support. Now and then you give me glances of encouragement and I feel a true friendliness when you look at me. It is as you wish to say: Come on Anders, what are you waiting for, it is so simple, it is so easy.

A thought, that maybe I was destinated to die here occurred several times, even before leaving Sweden for India. There seemed to be no fear maybe because of my strong determination to come to Arunachala and stay here in silence.

Now I am feeling better and better every day and more and more silent. When I found myself lost in thoughts or emotions, I focus on ‘who am I?’

Dear Guruji, thank you for giving me this opportunity to be here in silence under your guiding light.

Yours sincerely and devoted

Anders

***************************************

Beloved Guruji,

As a child I remember I always wanted to be with someone who shows me the truth. I strongly believed that there is nothing else to find. Things tore me away from this, yet still to drop me at your feet, where I now with “my” heart understand I have always been. You guide and lead me through every single moment, letting love shine into my heart in every tiny space I discover. You bathed me in love when my father left his body, speaking to me through the heart you took all fear from me, showed me that nothing but love is.

Thank you for polishing this most precious gift, this diamond sparkling in my heart.

I love you.

Nicole

***************************************

Beloved Madhukar,

Being in silence with you means to fly

without wind

without movement

embedded in softness and tenderness.

Described in a song:

… how sweet it is to be loved by you,

it’s like honey sometimes …

In love and thankfulness,

Silke

***************************************

Beloved Madhukarji

in deep gratitude for your being and sharing the blessings
of the Holy Mountain and Ramana and Papaji

Sannati

***************************************

Dear beloved Heart,

Love and Thankfullness
How to express (in words) a Thankfullness
which is – like a fountain – overflowing with
pure, fresh, rejoicing water renewing and
nourishing profoundly everything it touches.

And how to express a Love which is deep, radiant
and vast, expanding into infinity.

Always different, always the same, surprising,
amazing, full of humour and simplicity.

You are the source of silence, grace and love,
the source of innumerable blessings and
pleasures for our family and me. Each interaction
in and with you turns out to be a lesson in love.

Generously you bestow your grace without
measure. How to thank you – when, like we
heard in this beautiful song (Mere Gurudev)
even this Love is yours?

Best to be silent, abiding in Love and Silence,
abiding in you beloved Sri Madhukarji.

Most Happily Loving and Thanking

Yours

Rudi

Kumbh Mela

2010-03-03T04:42:00.000-08:00

Kumbh Mela (Kumbh = jug) and Mela (festival) is the greatest religious celebration of Hinduism and the greatest spiritual feast of the world. Every 12 years it takes place in four different cities in India, Allahabad, Hardwar, Ujjain and Nashik – each town having its own cycle of 12 years after which a Maha (great) Kumbh Mela is taking place. The purpose of the Mela is the “ritual bath” at a special time and special place.
For many Hindu orders the Kumbh Mela is the place of initiation and admission of disciples into the community. Celebrating Kumbh Mela (The Feast of the Jug) has its origin in the Hindu myth of creation of the “Churning of the Ocean of Milk”.

The Churning of the Ocean of Milk

2010-03-03T04:35:00.000-08:00

In the great Hindu epics the creation myth of

“The churning of the Ocean of Milk” is told.
The subject of this creation myth is the search for Amrit, the nectar of immortality (mrit = death, A-mrit = Not death) gods and demons were longing for, which is hidden in the ocean of milk unreachable for all of them. Only their churning together of the primeval water, which is said to have lasted one thousand god-years, finally brought the desired elixir to the surface.
Also this myth is the cause for the development of the “greatest bath festival of the world”, Kumbha Mela: While the gods and demons quarreled about the jug (kumbha) filled with Amrita, they spilled four of the precious drops. The places where they fell down on earth became sacred and healing towns where the festivals are celebrated until today at special times.

Gods and Demons

2010-03-03T04:14:00.000-08:00

Gods and Demons quarrelled with each other constantly and as many of them died in the fights, they asked Vishnu for help. Vishnu proposed to the gods to ally with the demons to get Amrita, the nectar of immortality, from the Ocean of Milk. So they wound the serpent Vasuki around Mount Meru as a rope and turned it into a whisk. The gods pulled at the tail, the demons pulled at the head. For a long time there was no success and the mountain even was about to sink into the ocean. Than Vishnu manifested himself as a giant turtle (Kurma) and crawled under the mountain. On his back he slowly lifted it up out of the waters and supported it.

With the whisk of mountain and serpent the allies went on churning the water until it became as white as milk. Suddenly a horrible poison rising from the water threatened to destroy everything. Shiva hurried to help and drank the poison Hala-hala to the last drop. Since then his neck is “nil”, that means blue, and therefore he is called “Nilakanta” (the one with the blue neck).

The churning could go on and one after another different divine treasures and precious objects surfaced from the milk white ocean. Lakshmi too, the goddess of happiness and wealth, radiant and beautiful, emerged from the milk ocean on a lotus flower and was reunited with Vishnu.

Finally the shape of a dark young man emerged from the waters, ornated with jewels and a garland of flowers round his neck. It was Dhanvantari, the god of healing and source of every healing art. In his hand he held for what all longed for – a big jug filled with Amrita, the nectar of immortality.
Gods and demons who had cooperated until now, now started to fight again (which is said to have lasted for 12 days). Greedily the demons wanted to snatch the precious beverage. In this moment Vishnu appeared in the shape of a very attractive young woman, Mohini. Gently smiling the beauty offered to distribute Amrita to all of them. Using a trick, she gave the elixir only to the gods. The demons, distracted by their infatuation, didn’t get any of it.
But one of the demons, Rahu, was suspicious bad mingled with the gods to receive a drop too. Sun and moon gave him away and as quick as a flash of lightning Vishnu/Mohini cut off his head with a disc before the Amrita (he had just swallowed) could reach his body. Therefore only his head became immortal. The lifeless body fell down to earth.
Since then Rahu is seeking revenge trying to swallow sun and moon again and again. This is seen on earth as eclipse of the sun or eclipse of the moon.

Demons and gods quarrelled about the property of the jug until finally Garuda, the mount of Vishnu, flew away with the divine elixir. Doing this, four drops of the precious content fell on the four cities where the festival is celebrated. For twelve days the gods and demons fought about the property of Amrita. For twelve days the gods staid on Mutilock (earth). 12 days of the gods are 12 years for man, this is the reason for the 12 years rhythm.
Another version says that a bird (a crow) snatched the nectar from the demons and flew away with it, taking rest at the four places.

Letter from Russia

Письмо из Омска.

Мадукар!

Благодарю за Божественную возможность обратиться к Вам в этом письме.

Я, Зимина Татьяна, посылаю Вам сердечное Спасибо из Сибирского города Омска за Ваше незримое, но очень мощное присутствие на всех сатсангах, которые проводил Николай один раз в неделю с августа 2009 года в нашем медицинском Центре Новой Медицины «Армос». За шесть месяцев занятий йогой тишины произошло значительное расширение моего сознания, появилась осознанность каждого момента своей жизни и вопрошание «Кто Я», «Кто это делает, ощущает» сопровождает меня постоянно. Благодарю за абсолютную Любовь, гармонию, мир и покой, которые Вы посылаете нашей группе. В ходе сатсанга все пространство наполняется благодарностью, радостью и каждая клеточка организма поет, а сердце наполняется и открывается Божественной любовью. И это удивительное состояние, которое невозможно описать словами, сохраняется все дольше, с радостью передаешь его своей семье, своим пациентам, всем окружающим тебя людям. А все кармические неприятности встречаешь осознанно, сохраняя спокойствие не только внешнее, но и внутреннее.. Правда, еще случаются и неудачные дни, за которые потом стыдно, когда испытываешь негармоничные состояния сознания, но это бывает все реже и реже, все меньше остается иллюзорных желаний и пустых потребностей.

Но одно сильное желание сохраняется – обрести истинного Гуру, который бы показал мне Абсолютную истину и помог мне осознать: Я есть То, обрести Абсолютную Свободу здесь и сейчас.

Зимина Татьяна и вся наша группа приглашает Вас, Мадукар, в Омск и желает встретиться с Просветленным Мастером в 2010 году в России, в Омске.

Сердечно просим Вас и дальше оказывать нам помощь и поддержку на прямом пути Соединения с Богом.

С любовью и благодарностью

Зимина Татьяна

P.S.: С Новым Годом и Рождеством. Несите Божественный свет и Абсолютную любовь как можно дольше на планете Земля.

10 января 2010.

Joy and a smiling face

2010-02-17T09:00:00.000-08:00

Dear Master Madhukarji!

I am at first time on your retreat. Near you I feel a strong stream of energy.
It goes upwards as if there’s a volcano inside of me. At this time I feel joy and my face smiles.

Thank you for your silence and peace.

With love,
Rita

Letter to the Master

2010-02-16T08:45:00.000-08:00

Beloved Master,

Thank you for the days in Goa, which I was allowed to spend with you. You radically have shown to me how much EGO is still existing inside of me, and which conditionings keep me imprisoned.
I especially want to thank you for your grace, one word, which until then was only a word for me, and now it is something beyond all description.
In our meeting I felt free for the first time, and much more for which there are no words.
There was only this moment ….how wonderful or also mysterious.

Thank you thank you thank you

Your devotee

Heart-warming Letter of Love from Siberia

2010-01-27T06:44:00.000-08:00

Madhukar!

I thank you for the divine possibility to address to you in this letter.
I, Zimina Tatiana, send to you hearty thanks from the Siberian city Omsk
for your invisible but very powerful presence in all meetings that Nikolay
carried out once a week since August 2009 in our medical center ARMOS.

During 6 months of practicing Yoga of Silence my conciousness expanded significally, I have now awareness of every moment of my life, and inquiery
“Who am I?”, “Who is doing, feeling?” is constantly with me.
I thank you for the Absolute Love, Harmony, Peace and Silence
that you are sending to our group.

In the meetings all the space is filled with Grace, Joy, and every cell of the body is singing and the heart is open and full of Divine Love. And this wonderful state that I cannot describe lasts longer and longer. With joy I give it over to my family and my patients, to all the people surrounding me. And all karmic difficulties I meet in Awareness, in external and internal peace. Of course, I still have unlucky days also for which I feel later ashamed. I feel sometimes inharmonic states but this happens more and more seldom, less illusory desires and empty needs are remaining.

But one strong desire is alive – the desire to find the True Guru who will show me Absolute Truth and help me to see: “I am That”, to find Absolute Freedom here and now.

Me, Zimina Tatiana and all our group invite you to Omsk, Russia and
desire to meet an Enlightened Master in 2010.
From all our hearts we ask you to give us your help and support further on the Direct Path of unity with God.

With love and thankfullness
Zimina Tatiana

PS: Please bring Divine Light and Absolute Love so long as possible to the planet earth.

Tatiana

Sinking into Self

2010-01-26T03:23:00.000-08:00

Greetings to everybody from our beautiful retreat Mystery of Oneness with Madhukarji in sunny Goa, India!

To let you all take part in the graceful Satsangs here in our ocean breezed pavilion,
we transcribed for you this beautiful dialog from 19.01.2010:

"Sinking into the Self"

Guest: First, I like to thank you for giving us all this love.
Once you gave me this advice: I should inquire who I am.
And when I go into silence, I use this question all the time to stop my thoughts. And then sometimes, pictures are coming after a while from my mind. My question now: Is the mind creating such pictures, such illusions? Or where are these pictures coming from?

Madhukar: Certainly from the mind; certainly without mind there are no pictures, there is no manifestation, without mind there is no universe. Universe is mind.

G: One or two times as there was nothing, I became afraid. There was absolutely nothing, like black light.

M: Who gets afraid when there is nothing? You say there is nothing, who gets afraid then? If there is nothing nobody would be afraid. And, has the nothingness ever been afraid? No, the nothingness never. Who is afraid?

G: It is me.

M: It is the mind. If it is you, you have to find out who?
It is offered to you. Something is offered to you: manifestation. Something is offered to you: you call it black. Something is offered to you: fear. But who are you? Who are you ordering the plate, taking the plate, eating the plate, refusing the plate? Who are you?

G: This I do not know!

M: It is courageous to admit ‘I do not know’. Most man at your age, your position, your lifestyle, do not admit ‘I do not know, who I am’.

G: How can I find out, who I am?

M: By being here, at the source of everything. By sinking into the source, sinking with ‘s’, not with ‘th’. You pronounce it the same. Sinking, thinking. Everybody thinks. Nobody sinks, Sinking in the Self.

G: I will try this.

M: Do not even try, also at the source of trying there must be something.

G. So I will do it.

M: Like Socrates, you have arrived at this understanding ‘I do not know’, I do not know who I am’. And he did a lot of thinking before. Then he realised: I do not know who I am. But he was not afraid, not even afraid to die. He wanted to prove, his people, that he is not afraid. He knew: I am not the body. The body, which we all enjoy so much. And also the body which is suffering.

G: It is like we hold on to the small things we have.

M: What do you have? Nothing.
I hold this handkerchief; it is useful for the sweat, the tears and to fan away the flies. But actually, do I own it? No, it is cotton, some atoms, it is earth, and it will dissolve again to the very same, atoms. Even smaller parts, it is actually nothingness, useful nothingness.

G: But I am...

M: Before you said: ‘I do not know’ who I am. But now you say: ‘But I am’. You see? Immediately you cheat yourself, believing you know. The mind cheats yourself… mind always pretends to have knowledge. The moment, the instant you inquire, no knowledge is there, and even all the mindstuff is of no use, only illusion, enjoyable illusion. For some it is suffering, for some it is joy.

G. Yes, when I am here, in this moment now, I really do not know nothing. Ok, the mind sometimes makes me... I do not know...
I really have to be just here, then it is really easy.

M: What is this result of your practice?
That you are here! Why you use practice, if you are here anyway?

G: I am not always here.

M: Where do you go?

G: Sometimes I go into the past, sometimes in the future.

M: Great, others try to invent time machines, to go backwards in time and to travel into the future. You do not need a time machine. You are mastering that…
(silence)
Anyway, in your case, you have a double name, isn’t it? Two names, no? Hans-???

G: Jürgen.

M: Hans-Jürgen.

G: Yes.

M: Let Hans live in the past and Jürgen in the future. And that who you are, let it be here. Now.. That is happiness.

G: So I need a new name.

M: No, why a new name? Who is this: ‘Now I need’ ? Who is that, who says ‘I need’ ?
‘I’, you told me before, does not know anything. So what this ‘I’ says is nonsense. Now ‘I’ presumes again ‘I need’...
That was the first when you arrived in the now?

G: This was not I.

M: So now in this instant, before the ‘I’ arises, what is here?
(silence)

Good, good.

New video on youtube with Madhukarji!

2009-12-23T01:32:00.000-08:00

Hello everybody,

a new video with Masterji can be seen at youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axPJRpFN45U

It was recorded in the retreat "Sommerlust" in Kitzbühel (Austria) in august 2009.
For a better understanding, Anders transcribed the video for us:

Madhukarji: Here is a letter from Anders.
Anders: Dear Madhukarji! Dear Madhukar!
Being here with you and all the beautiful people is a blessing.
This is as grace already entered my life and I can feel safe, that grace
will guardian my life.
Words cannot convey what I meet here in Satsang.
We use words as peace, happiness etc, but I feel what is taking place, what reveals is a mystery.
When I see you turn into a godlike, smiling golden, ancient appearance
it is impossible to judge what is taking place.
It is as if I have always been there with you in that silent dimension. Sometimes I have a tendency to forget what you can ´t tell me
but I believe that I somehow get it anyway.
The other day when I was invited to you,
it was as a magical mystery tour and only watched you working
was beautiful, master does the work.
Yesterday evening in Satsang something told me that you cannot be
defined in words, because there are no limitations, no borders.
Thank you for your grace. I love you. Jag älskar dig. Anders.

Madhukarji: Tack så mycket. Thank you. Lucky man, lucky man.

New video with Madhukarji on YouTube - What is Grace?

2009-11-30T04:49:00.000-08:00

Dear friends,

A very precious video from the sommer retreat in Wilderswil
with Madhukarji has been uploaded :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRvUTEaQNwk

Master answers the question: What is Grace?

Fragender: Es gibt eine Frage, die mich stark beschäftigt:
Was ist denn Gnade?

Madhukar: He asks, he says he is very busy with the question; asking: What is Grace?
Grace is when you are not busy with anything and you are very satisfied.
And you are home wherever you are,
when you are aware of this wonder.
Grace is sitting here in satsang. That is Grace.
Waking up from illusion. That is Grace.
Drowning in the ocean. That is Grace.
Being in love with Sophia- wisdom- that is Grace.
Eating lousy pasta and not getting very angry, that is Grace, also.
Do you understand now better? Yes, better. Better, because Grace itself is formless and we cannot define it.
We cannot define. So, is Grace also kissing you?

F: Ja. Nicht immer. (Yes. Not always).

M: That is your interpretation, which is not true. Grace is always here. Always embracing you. Only you turn away sometimes.
You dream not living in Grace.

Om Shanti!

Madhukar in Vital Magazine

2009-11-22T07:40:00.000-08:00

This message is actually for our German speaking friends...

But to let everybody know: Today I bought a life-style magazine called "Vital", in which there is a beautiful article about Yoga of Silence with Madhukarji on the Andamans in March 2009.

Amazing pictures by Darshana Borges and lovely written by Christine Mühlenhof.

The experience report has the headline: "It is always NOW".

So true..... :)
