  You are what you want to become. Why search anymore? You are a wonderful manifestation. The whole universe has come together to make your existence possible. There is nothing that is not you. The kingdom of God, the Pure Land, nirvana, happiness, and liberation are all you.

   

  

  
  

KWAN YIN

 

From Secrets of Creation Revealed:

 "After arriving at the Nirvikalpa state, man realises for the first time that his whole existence as a physical body as well as an individualized consciousness is unreal, evanescent, and ephemeral. He then knows for certain that the individualised body aspect and the individualised consciousness aspect are composed of mere dream stuff of the Primary Consciousness, the only Absolute Reality behind all the worlds of phenomena.

When He (Primary Consciousness) imagines or daydreams, He creates a dream stuff composed cosmos, which to us is the waking cosmos and of which we all are a part. Thus we all are His day dream. The cosmos is not composed of a so called real physical matter. On the contrary it is composed of Primary Consciousness alone albeit Primary Consciousness in His formful mode."

Paramahansa Yogananda

 "It is the Spirit of God that actively sustains every form and force in the universe; yet He is transcendental and aloof in the blissful uncreated void beyond the world of vibratory phenomena. Those who have attained Self-realization on earth live a similar twofold existence. Conscientiously performing their work in the world, they are yet immersed in an inward beautitude"

TANTRIC SPIRITUALITY

 

Tantrik Spirituality

 Devi Manasa is worshiped in devotional tradition as a compassionate Divine Mother associated with protection, well-being, and the fulfillment of sincere aspirations arising from the heart and mind. While her name is often connected with “manas,” meaning mind, devotees symbolically understand her blessings as guiding human desires toward harmony, wisdom, and positive outcomes rather than fulfilling every impulse without discernment. Revered especially in Bengal and eastern India, Devi Manasa is believed to grant protection, prosperity, healing, family welfare, and inner peace to those who approach her with faith and humility. Her sacred association with serpents represents hidden wisdom, transformation, and the subtle energies of life and consciousness. Devotees pray to her not only for worldly hopes but also for clarity of thought and emotional balance, believing that under her grace the mind becomes purified and desires align with righteousness, leading the seeker toward fulfillment, contentment, and spiritual growth.

SHAKTI

 

UNKNOWN

 

 Primal Power that is the dynamic aspect of Brahman, the Prakriti–Divine Creative Energy– that is inseparable from Purusha–the Supreme Spirit. God the Father is Unmoving Consciousness, whereas God the Mother is Moving Consciousness. The entire field of creation is Mother, the Father being the Transcendental Witness of Her manifestations. The Mother is the Divine Ladder which we ascend to the Bosom of the Father. Prakriti proceeds from Purusha, the Holy Spirit “proceeds from the Father.”

KALI

 

Māyā/ Kāli

Māyā, the mighty weaver of the garb, is none other than Kāli, the Divine Mother. She is the primordial Divine Energy, Śakti, and She can no more be distinguished from the Supreme Brahman than can the power of burning be distinguished from fire. She projects the world and again withdraws it. She spins it as the spider spins its web. She is the Mother of the Universe, identical with the Brahman of Vedānta, and with the Ātman of Yoga

S. Radhakrishnan.

 

Hindu cosmology is non-dualistic. Everything that is is Brahman. Brahman is the eternal Now, and in eternity there is no before or after, for everything is everywhere, always. To use the words of Pascal 'it is a circle the center of which is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.'

OM used to come to Ma Sadgamaya, Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya, Mritar Mamrutam Gamaya

" OM Lead me from falsehood to truth, from darkness to light, from death to immortality."

Though One, Brahman is the cause of the many. Brahman is the unborn (aja) in whom all existing things abide. The One manifests as the many, the formless putting on forms. (Rig Veda)

They all emphasize that the universe has to be grasped dynamically, as it moves, vibrates and dances. ..The Eastern mystics see the universe as an inseparable web, whose interconnections are dynamic and not static. The cosmic web is alive; it moves and grows and changes continually. In Indian philosophy, the main terms used by Hindus and Buddhists have dynamic connotations. The word Brahman is derived from the Sanskrit root brih - to grow- and thus suggests a reality which is dynamic and alive. The Upanishads refer to Brahman as 'this unformed, immortal, moving', thus associating it with motion even though it transcends all forms.' The Rig Veda uses another term to express the dynamic character of the universe, the term Rita This word comes from the root ri- to move. In its phenomenal aspect, the cosmic One is thus intrinsically dynamic, and the apprehension of its dynamic nature is basic to all schools of Eastern mysticism.
