The Elders sat in the back of the Chinese Restaurant
And passed the pipe
The moon watched from the round window
The eldest of the old.
I saw no reason to worship the young.

Bhagavan On The Antaryamin
Bhagavan on the Antaryamin:
Q: Who is god? Is God one or many?
Bhagavan:
"God is both the manifest and the un-manifest. The un-manifest God is unknown. The manifest God is known, as presence as light or as a form. God also manifests in places and icons, God also manifests through miracles, God manifests as the antaryamin, God also manifests in human beings as avatars. These are the expressions of God."
Q: What is the Antaryaminand how does the Antaryamin awaken in us?
Bhagavan:
"We often use the word God, but God means different things to different people. But actually we can define God as your higher sacred self, higher intelligence, or higher consciousness.
Sometimes you might have seen hundreds of birds flying like one bird. Have you seen this? So, actually you can know that the whole group has got a single consciousness, but the individual bird will follow the consciousness of the whole pack. Sometimes you will find one or two birds dropping out and again they get back to the main flock. If we say that the individual bird is you, then that full total bird consisting of all birds is the Antaryamin. It can be called God or higher intelligence etc. So when we say you have the Antaryamin or that Antaryamin is awakened , what it means is you are the part, are in touch with the whole. In the flock of birds, if one bird drops out of the group, two or three birds come out and help that bird to go and join back. Only then the whole thing can function. So as long as the small bird is following the big pack, you can say the small bird is following the will of the group or the pack. So if you have the Antaryamin and can talk with Him, then, ‘You’, the part is following the will of the whole or the Divine will. So it is not enough if you are willing to follow the Divine will, you must know what the Divine will is, what the will is of the higher consciousness, without which you are like a bird fallen of the pack.
You are in fact an orphan. The Antaryamin is the Whole, and to have the Antaryamin means you are in touch with the whole. The whole of human consciousness put together is more than the individual’s consciousness. It is not 1 + 1 = 2 but it is 1 +1 = 4. That is what is “Synergetic emergence”. Hydrogen and oxygen fuse to form water, whose properties are totally and fundamentally different from hydrogen and oxygen. This emerging consciousness is called God or Cosmic consciousness. And this cosmic consciousness is what is the Antaryamin.
The Antaryamin is you inner guide and your supreme friend who can guide you and protect you. Today many a time you are in conflict. What is right and wrong? what is good and bad? You unable to decide this. Even when you decide, many times you regret your decisions. But when the Antaryamin is awakened, you will exactly know how to respond to every situation of life. At every step you will have someone to guide you, on whom you can trust and who accepts you exactly as you are. And also when you have the Antaryamin, enlightenment is very easy.
So until now we have seen what is the Antaryamin and why do you need an Antaryamin. Now I will tell you how the awakening of the Antaryamin actually happens. Basically in our society, the kind of schooling, education and life style one has, you are not allowed to experience and express your emotions. You are quite suppressed. That is why some have difficulty in getting in touch with their Antaryamin. So once you have got in touch with your suppressed emotions and if you invite the Antaryamin with your whole heart, it will awaken in you in the way it chooses or in the form you desire. To have the Antaryamin is the natural state of Man, it is your birthright; it is just like breathing or digesting. In the Ancient days everybody was in touch with their Antaryamin. There were tribes in Africa a hundred years ago, who where in direct communion with their Antaryamin. They lived a wonderful life. All that you must do is, from your heart, with emotion, with great feeling and with a bond, a liking, you must invite the Antaryamin and then it will awaken in you. It is not at all difficult. You think it is difficult and have all kinds of wrong perceptions. The Antaryamin is not bothered about what kind of a person you are. The Antaryamin is your friend and so doesn’t judge you or condemn you. All it wants is that you invite it with a feeling and a bond.........."

The Awakening of the Antaryamin
Life is full of wonder and totally Divine. You do not need to understand-only live. You kiss the grass in the garden because there is grass in the garden.
And then the time comes when the gratitude is so great it overcomes you, the heart becomes very Light. You become it. You bow to your own divinity and laugh. Heaven has met Earth. Inside they are no longer at war.
Gratitude, she is the great annihilator of suffering. The bearer of enlightenment.......

Aug 6, Prayer and Mantra To Set Right World Finances
Recently I learned a mantra from Siva Baba. It is to set right finances of the world. For those who do not know of Siva Baba, he is a great master from the Siddha tradition of Tamil Nadu. Some know him as "Guruji" from Wayne Dyer's book, "Manifest Your Destiny." Many years ago I helped to coordinate some events for him in Phoenix. A master of manifestation, he helped the people in a very big way. Few in my life have ever been kinder to me.
I use mantras that I have learned for him almost daily as do many of my students. They are tremendous tools and extremely powerful.
I do not know what will happen with the chanting of this mantra so will be gathering with some friends to see. I do know that praying for others does strengthen the Karma Maya Kosha or karmic energy body and helps you to cultivate positive karma and that may in turn positively impact your own household's finances. Just to perfect 1 Kosha only can lead to enlightenment.
So if you would like to join us (expected group is 800 so far) from wherever you may be we welcome you!
Global Prayer and Mantra to set right World Finances.
Aug 6, 5:44 AM Phoenix Time or Sunrise Wherever You Are
In a little over a year our national debt has increased from $10.626,877,048,913 in Jan of 09 to $13,301,637,817,151 as of Aug 3, 2010. Other countries are in serious economic trouble as well, as are many households. Mystics have repeated told that not much can happen unless the Divine steps in. So as a group we will ask the Divine and recite a mantra for this specific purpose.
Here is the format:
Get up beforehand and shower or bathe. If not possible wash your hands and face.
Face East (where the Sun is)
If you are not outside then light a candle before you.
Simply pray, "Lord, please step in and set right the finances of the world. You must do this now."
Chant the mantra "Om Brzee Namaha 108 or better yet 1008 times if time allows.
Sometime during the day give some money away to someone or to a charity and/or pay off a debt.
We will do this practice and then watch for signs. You can email experiences to me at dharma@vedicshamanism.com .
Hope to connect with you on the 6th!
Namaste,
Dharma Dharini
