“The Message of His life is not the Cross but the Resurrection. He was resurrected. That was one of the things He did so that now you can be resurrected. Every Incarnation is something unique. But the end of it was the Resurrection. He did it because He had to die. |

“In those days of complete chaos and anarchy, He (Jesus Christ) stood up and talked about Truth and about such things like Spirit, like ascent. I mean, they were all blind people. They didn’t know what it was He was talking. And He talked about it. There’s lot of myths that exist in the Bible and one of them is that when the Resurrection Time |

KOLKATA: Where was Jesus Christ between the age of 12 and 30 years? Though the Bible does not give credence to such theories, engineer- Did Christ visit India after his crucifixion? Is a tomb in the “Christ supposedly visited India, according to an alternative “Neither the Bible nor the mainstream gospels give credence to such “According to Hindu, Buddhist and Islamic scriptures and beliefs, “His Christianity was influenced by Hinduism as we find that the New “In Bhavishya Maha Puran, a text dating back to the second century “Scholars say it happened after Christ’s resurrection, ” said Mitra. He also noted that there were different isolated pockets that This alternative theory was strengthened after some scrolls (dating Two years before that, in 1945, some scrolls dating back to 350 AD Mitra’s film, produced by Atanu Roy of Sweet Melody, seeks to unearth “We have shot in Ladakh, Kashmir, the Silk Route, Kerala, Varanasi “There are many documents in the vault of the Vatican and the church “Assimilation of all such stories raises the question why there was German scholar H.J.

SHRI DEVI GITA Introduction: Devi gita constitutes the last ten chapters of the seventh Skandha Specifically, we are interested in discussing the Devi gita. To Setting: The setting of the Devi gita is introduced by Janamejaya’s query This sets the scene for Devi Gita and the teachings. Brief summary: In the Devi gita, following Himalayas request, the Devi proceeds to Simplicity and Profoundness: Devi gita is both simple and profound. It is different from other Similarly, the word of ‘coming’, ‘going’, ‘becoming’ cause confusion Start of chapter 33: The Devi said: “O Giriraja ! This whole universe, moving and There is no other Intelligence other than Me. Viewed practically, it O Mountain !

Beautiful story from Shriniwas: |
|
“Today I would like to share a brief summary of Shree Mataji`s tryst with a great realized ascetic, “Gagangiri Maharaj” from Maharashtra, India. |
|
My Dad was with Shree Mataji during this time and I would like to enumerate whatever he experienced there.. |
|
“This meeting happened sometime in 70s .. Gagangiri Maharaj was a great realized ascetic who stayed near a place called “Khopoli” in Maharshtra which is on the way between Mumbai (Bombay)-Pune. His ashram is located on a small hill top where he use to stay with his disciples. Once Shree Mataji expressed the desire to meet him and SHE along with few Yogis went to meet HIM. Shree Mataji finally met him and following is some of the excerpts from their conversation: |
|
Gagangiri Maharaj: Mother, I knew that you would come this particular day to give me self-realization. I have been waiting for this time since thousands of years. |
|
( then he offered Shree Mataji a saree.. He then looked at all the yogis who were there with HER) |
|
Gagangiri Maharaj: Mother, why are you giving so much to all these people. Do they understand the real worth of it? Do they understand what they have achieved so easily? |
|
Shree Mataji: You are a GURU and cannot be a MOTHER. I am the MOTHER and cannot be a GURU like you. A mother always gives everything to her children selflessly. |
|
Gagangiri Maharaj: As you say Mother. ….I was not lucky enough to have a mother like you, before… |
|
Gagangiri Maharaj: ( to all Yogis) You all are very lucky to get so much from MOTHER herself.. So understand the worth of it and grow. |
|
Unfortunately, this great soul (Gagangiri Maharaj) passed away recently on 4thFeb 2008 |
|
Well on the next morning, Shree Mataji woke up early and was sitting on the swing outside the Ashram.My Dad also had woken up by then and he observed that 2 disc like objects were revolving around Shree Mataji for almost 30-45 minutes. She then said “You can Leave” and both of them soared high in the sky with tremendous speed and disappeared. My dad then asked MOTHER about this and SHE told him that sometimes, “Hanumana and Bhairava” want to be with me. Those 2 discs which you observed were them.” |

Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions — motion, speech, self-awareness –- shut down one by one. An astonishing story. |
|
In her case the Ego-left hemisphere of our brain was completely out of order. |
|
This is a perfect example and lesson for us to understand the function of our Ego. |
