Kaarthika Deepam In Front of Shiva Linga.

Deepam is Nothing but, Lord Arunachaleshwara.

 

Girls, Women old people all Lighted the Deepams.

 

Before Sri Ramana, all Are Equal.

 

Three Generations Together.

Now we are having our own limitations -

all living Separately.

In their cocoons .

in their own worlds.

let us Rebuild the relationships to Live together.

At least re-establish the Contacts.

don't be Drifted by Mechanical Money Making Madness.

Ignoring all types of relationships.

 

According to Scriptures,

Lighting of Deepam in the Month of Karthik, 

in Lord Shiva Temple during evening time 

will wash away all our Sins.

 

Old Women Lighting the Deepams.

Incense sticks are used to Transfer Light 

From Main Deepam

to Other Deepams. 

No Match Boxes.

 

Poojas, Devotional Songs, Bhajans all are first Steps.

There are different rituals in different Customs.

But all leads to One.

 

These are necessary for People Like Us.

As we are not Saints.

Cooking and Serving both are Different.

Proper Serving makes meaning to Cooking.

People at all ends to be taken care of.

 

Elderly Women Content with Food.

These women are Poor in wealth,

Rich in Love and Dedication to Sri Ramana.

 

These women Recite the Mantra

Arunachala Shiva, Arunachala Shiva, Arunachala Shiva,

Arunachalaaa.

for Hours in Deep Dedication to God.

 

It is a Surpirse for Us , 

even Young kids are Fascinated by Sri Ramana.

 It is all gods Guidance.

 

It is character which is Important, Not Education.

God will give livelihood to Everyone Educated or Not.

_________________________________________

During Self-Inquiry you will Experience

Different types of Thoughts

Coming up in Mind.

That is Correct.

Whatever is there inside,  that is coming out.

Unless it comes out how you will destroy it.

Those Thoughts will come out on their Own

for getting suppressed in the  Step by step process of Self-Inquiry.

Ultimately the Mind will be destroyed through this Process.

Then you will remain ceaselessly in Your True State of Atma.

Humans are under the illusion that all their happiness is due to Wealth.

They are under the wrong impression that

If wealth grows their happiness will Grow.

But in reality it is not correct.

In Deep Sleep, all Your Wealth, All Your Assets and  Liabilities,

All your Relations,

And Including Your Body -  Nothing will be there.

But You will experience total relief in that delightful State.

So Our happiness is not in Out side world.

It is there inside us, in a concealed State.

You have this Option and Possibility of knowing your

True self in a Awaken State, Not in sleep.

We have to put in efforts in a wakeful state,

in this earth, in this birth, to experience the True Self.

The Experience about Your True state of Atma .

------- Sri Ramana Maharshi.
