"Your vehicles are ever restless. Every vibration in the vehicle produces a corresponding change in consciousness. Is there any way to check these vibrations, to study the vehicle, so that consciousness may be still? One method is the repeating of a mantra. A mantra is a mechanical way of checking vibration. Instead of using the powers of the will and of imagination, you save these for other purposes, and use the mechanical resource of a mantra." -- ANNIE BESANT

Talk on Dec 11, 2008
Disciples must do what the Guru says, as the Guru knows the chain of number of births (as said in Gita, ‘sootre maniganaa iva’) Tremendous power is descending today, the day of Dutta Jayanti.
As the planet moves close to the rasis, it gets the vibrations of 12 rasis. ( Rasi chakra does not move, the rasis are stable) The picture of Druva nakshatra, Vishnu Padam, earth (Brahma padam) and Rudra padam being in one straight line today on Dutta Jayanti, shown on screen) We are effected by these vibrations and ‘Shankha nada’ leads us. The right conch which is called Dakshinavarti Shankha directs us towards peace now. (sham – peace giving, kham – sky).
Our physical body is the prototype of entire universe. The powerful down flow of cosmic radiated energy is directed towards north. Even our body with 1: 1.6 ratio, ie., one body with 6 chakras called 5 series is balanced at north-east direction ( eesanya). As Samatwam yoga utchyate and Laabha laabhou jayaa jayou , the positive and negative vibrations are perfectly balanced at this point.
All Gods/Dashavataras exist in our body literally (pictures shown on the projector screen)
Dutta is not a physical Guru but the power that descends today. SURRENDER to that power.
Daily Gita Sadhana – Action plan :
Arjuna Vishada yoga says ‘ I don’t know what to do, im in the middle hit by the roga/disease.
Sankhya yoga : 2nd chapter tells you where to go and you get solution miraculously by surrender.
(Ch 2: 7) Karpanya Doshopahata swabhavaha…: tells us to surrender completely.
(Ch 3:10) saha yagna praja srushtwa…: explains the yagna way of life and that you are born with the yagna. Three sacrifices of your life are Time, Money and Talent, Samaya, Amsha and pratibha. If you know how to sacrifice these three, your desires will be fulfilled.
(Ch 3:11) – Devaan bhavayatanena… parasparam bhavayantaha…: this is the formula for yagna. If an amt of Rs 1 lac to be collected for a cause, it becomes easily possible if 1 lac people contribute Rs 1/ each. Contribute your time, money and talent in this view of yagna.
(Ch 4:5) Bahunime vyateetani…: Karma varies with the knowledge of relationship. We listen where there is a karmic link. We have a karmic link with Lord Krishna, so we listen to him.
(Ch 4:24) – Brahmaarpanam, Brahma havihi …: this shloka should be chanted before eating. Sun, earth, planets and stars are all moving at a speed of 1,60,000 km/day. As we are on planet earth, we are all moving towards the Brahma Padam with the same speed.
(During the talk, Dr RK took the example of Rajni Kant’s movie as very popular, someone from audience mentioned that it was his birthday on that day; 12th December).
