INVOCATION OF VINAYAKA

T

“ I invoke Shri Ganesha whose hands are five, whose face is

that of an elephant, whose single tusk is that of a crescent

moon. I place the lotus feet of Shri Ganesha, who is Shiva’s

Son and who is the embodiment of Jnana, in my intellect”.

SHRI MATAJI ON SWARUPA OF SHRI GANESHA

“This chaitanya has many aspects . In Shri Ganesha, specially, it is auspiciousness. Everything that emits vibrations (Chaitanya) is SHUDH and whatever does not is not auspicious. So whatever you worship or accept has to be auspicious. Every shape has a coefficience and all the shapes do not necessarily give vibrations. We take Shri Ganesha as granted. We do not understand that we have to awaken Shri Ganesha within us. There is Shri Ganesha already existing In you; as innocence and it cannot be lost, Shri Ganesha is an eternal being.

To keep this Ganesh always shining within us, is to remember that you were made in the same pattern as Shri Ganesha.

His kundalini, his pure desire is on his stomach. It is significant to understand this. It means that he need not have to conquer the temptations of Mooladhara. He is also beyond temptations of food, power etc. Because His stomach represents absolute abandonment and freedom. He is not worried about his looks. Shri Ganesha accepts it. The head of the elephant suggests that HE is not like a human being who develops ego & super-ego. He is all the time one with the Divine. He accepts his body, his head, & everything that he is made of. He is what He is because He is a satisfied soul. The Kundalini on the stomach shows a completely self contented, satisfied personality of Shri Ganesha. When you have all the powers with you, you know you are powerful. Then you don’t hanker after all these things & you dont make an impression on others.

As you are created in the same image of Shri Ganesha you have to understand that you have to accept whatever God has given you.

PRAISE OF SAKTHI

T,

“All the Devas know Her,

All the Tapas and penances are for her,

The Five Gods work as directed by Her.

I, Thirumoolar , do not know how to liberate myself ,

without knowing Her.”

Verse 1053...

LOVE THAT IS SAKTHI AND SIVA ARE ONE

T,

“The ignorant one’s say that Shiva & God’s love, that is Sakthi are different. Little do they realise, that it is God’s love, that is Shakthi , who will take us to God & when we realise that GOD IS LOVE (ANBE SIVAM) then we will be immeresed in Sivananda State.”

Verse 270

NOTE:

Thirumoolar’s statement that “Anbe Sivam” or GOD IS LOVE is a famous one in SAIVA SIDHANTHA PHILOSOPHY.

What Shri Mataji Has Said on “LOVE “

“Love is the principle behind all creation, all vibration. We say “GOD IS LOVE’ and ‘LOVE IS GOD’ because in its depth, we cease to be. In true love, there is no ‘I’ and no ‘YOU’. There is simply the merging of the SPIRIT. In this state, we experience the human unity, its true oneness of life”.
