prakash , prayer , and power of prayer

In the afternoon when I was taking tea, I called my son and told him that today onwards we shall start reading the books together so his reading speed increases. And suddenly he was very happy when I said him so.

I asked him why he was so happy when I had said so. He told me that in the school in the morning he had prayed that he needs to develop capacity to read fast. And God had listened to him as I told him that I shall start reading books with him. He was very happy with the effect of his prayer.

Life is a lovely mystery, it unfolds each day with more love and love and love provided we love it.

a very good sms I had received
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL .... [*}

DRAUPADI AUNTY, meditation, spiritual life...continued

so I had started going for meditation and I was not knowing how is it helping me, but I was feeling good. I was getting more confident and relaxed and most important being truthful was easy and simple. Thus the spiritual journey had started.

But I was very possessive about the time spent on the weekends. My saturdays meant to be keeping awake till two , three or four in the night. And many times I used to go to sleep early and at those times friend H used to wake me up and we used to talk or roam.

So sunday morning group meditation was a question that how shall i be able to manage that. So when AUNTY used to say , Jitesh you are coming to the satsangh on the sunday!, I used to say yes but internally it used to be that i wont be going. But the seed of change was such that even after keeping very awake till late in the night also I used to have fresh feeling for group meditation and I used to be there.

For almost two years it used to be half an hour meditation session with AUNTY wherein she used to sit in meditation and I used to sit in meditation. And result was fantastic I was transforming into a person who was getting better to the self or inner being.

There are many persons who had got initiated with her help into meditation on heart as she was trainer since the year 1975. And thus I felt like putting few words about her. As she had been the instrument of nature to bring spiritual seed into many persons yet she was a simple housewife who had brought up her children , who had taken care of her home. And comes one day her earthly journey is over.

Her one dialogue I shall like mention here, ' samay bahoot kimati hai .'

DRAUPADI AUNTY, meditation, spiritual life

She went to the divine home yesterday. I had first met her in the year 1996.

My age was 23 years at that time. It was a time with strong spirits and was a time of a search. I was into excess of everything. It was a time chanting GAYATRI MANTRA for forty five minutes. It used be two hours of gym. It used to be six hours of college. It used to be meeting all classmates saying hello to all in the college. It used to be movies almost four a week. It used to be giving tutions to school children for two hours for five days a week.[ tutions means i used to get good nashta and tea which at that time outside would cost 10 rupees. And money earned from tutions was sufficient for the four movies a week.] And it used to be watching the dreams with the eyes open. My friend R suggested that I should learn meditation. My first reaction was, 'why should i learn meditation from any other person, when my way of life was sufficient enough to teach me meditation.' One fine day I had a thought that lets learn it as I came from a rural place and it was a feeling ," I have come to the city and I should fill myself up with whatever I can, if I do not get the chance to be again in the city than I shall loose the chance of learning.'
So I told my friend R that lets go the place he had suggested where I can learn meditation. He took me to this place DRAUPADI AUNTY'S home. A very simple lady , she did not know english, her knowledge of language was HINDI language. When I went to her for the first time she gave me a small booklet which informed what to do in the meditation and group meditation and individual sittings with trainers. It was half an hour meditation session in which she sat with the eyes closed and I too sat with the eyes closed. She had asked me to sit with the feeling that i have divine light in the heart but my mind was absolutely roaming sometimes and sometimes looking for the divinity in the heart . Thus there happened three introductory meditation sitting with her. She was a trainer in a spiritual organisation where meditation on heart is taught.

smiling back , are they understanding?

when i teach in the classroom, the students they look real serious. i feel happy as i think that they are listening to me and learning. but this last week during the lecture it was real fun as i asked my students ,' what exactly they do in the class', do they wait for the lecture to get over and keep on smiling with me. And the answer in reality , they did not give the answer just all of them smiled back.

the symptom it aggravates than it goes off - is it a principle of homeopathy

homeopathy is based on an empirical principle but it follows a philopsophy to treat the patient. Now it is not always true that every time the symptom should aggravate than it shall go off. in homeopathic science we say the symptoms go out of the body from within outward , from top to bottom. so in some cases the symptoms of patient sometimes aggravate and than the state of comfort comes.
but the reality has one more of the side too. As for application of the homoeopathic medicine a very keen observation is needed and also good analysis of the patient is needed. After that often the logic of application of medicine is needed by the doctor. many times the aggravation it comes either because the medicine selected by the doctor is not right or the medicine has not acted at all. Again in that the source of homoeopathic medicine also matters and how was the medicine stored in the clinic or the homoeopathic pharmacy. but it gives a good cover to the doctor as he can always say ,' with homoeopathic medicines there is first aggravation and than the symptoms disappear.'

there is one more reason of the aggravation of the symptoms. as many a times the patient who visits homoeopath has already been on various therapies and anti allergics , pain killers, anta acid tabs etc. now when the patient removes his anti allergic or medicines of the kind and tries to depend solely on the homoeopathic medicine the symptoms are going to get aggravated naturally. As the patient was stable because of the above compounds. now when the patient takes homeopathic medicine it often takes three days to few weeks before it shows its results. so here again the logic that homeopathy medicine first increases the symptoms and than removes the symptoms. Ideally in such conditions the main stream medicines should be reduced gradually and homeopathic medicines should be increased gradually.
the above logic is true also in very chronically ill patients, because there condition in reality is not real or rather what we see their condition is a suppressed condition .now abstinance of their main stream support medicine is naturally will increase their problem. but than their symptom picture will gradually correct the symptoms and correct the body internally.
in reality homoeoapthic medicines are very safe and effective. whenever homoeopathic medicines are taken on the onset of the symptoms ,the diseased condition does not develop at all.

viral infections are better treated with homeopathy. idiopathic disorders are better treated with homeopathy. allergic problems can be better treated with homeopathy ... etc. in the next post we shall talk where homeopathy works and where it should not be tried.
