		<title>Brahman?</title>
		<link>http://www.hinduwebsiteforums.com/post?id=4879563</link>
		<description>Greetings everyone! I am very interested in Hindu philosophy or the Vedic philosophy per say. One of the major concerns within the hindu thoughts is the concept of Brahman and I am want to write a paper on the concept of brahman in the western thought compare to the actual concept of Brahman within the Hindu scope. The reason I am posting is because although I already have an idea of Brahman but I need a direction. In another words what is the best methodology to pursue this topic? What material(books,articles, etc.) should I look at? I know that I should obviously began with the Rg Veda due to its old age but then what? where do I go from there? Someone please help me!!!  &lt;p&gt;Forum: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hinduwebsiteforums.com/?forum=84069&quot;&gt;Hinduism&lt;/a&gt;

		<title>Religion is part inspired, part human and part fiction</title>
		<link>http://www.hinduwebsiteforums.com/post?id=4854772</link>
		<description>Our religion is a mixture of that very consciousness which represents us and which characterizes us. Part of our religion is inspired by the highest wisdom to which we can ascend in our moments of pure inspiration. A part of it is product of our intellectual labor. There are also elements of our imagination, which somehow gets mixed up with the basic teachings and comes to be recognized as the main teaching. Let us call it wis(h)dom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;A great deal of misunderstandings that arise from our religions comes from this area. Let us admit that our knowledge is a mixture of both light and darkness. This is true not only in respect of our religions, but also science and humanities. We cannot arive at truth all the time. We cannot perceive it correctlhy all the time. We cannot explain it accurately all the time. The wisdom is to live with such an understanding and humility and witout the certitude that what we know may be or may not be correct all the time. If you think you know God or if you think you are sure of what He is, then you probably do not know Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jayaram V &lt;p&gt;Forum: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hinduwebsiteforums.com/?forum=84069&quot;&gt;Hinduism&lt;/a&gt;

		<title>Is Religious Hatred In the Name of Religion Justified?</title>
		<link>http://www.hinduwebsiteforums.com/post?id=4851445</link>
		<description>The purpose of religion is to make man morally, socially and personally more responsible, dutiful and considerate towards self and others. Every religion teaches how important it is to cultivate virtues and practice morality. The scriptures emphasize the need to overcome desires, cultivate detachment and transform oneself so that one would be either eligible for a place in heaven or progress towards salvation. Every religion tells us how necessary it is to surrender to God, cultivate humility and let go of our worldly concerns and attachments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;But what do we do mostly in the name of religion? Even after all the progress we have made, we bring out the worst of our behavior to show our resentment and anger against people of other faiths. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;The conservative elements in every part of the world do not like communism or socialism, but they want everyone to follow the same religion! How is it that when we know that every entity in the world is made out to be distinct and unique, we do not want the same with regard to the religions we practice? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;We know that the world is not created to be uniform. This is well evident in every aspect of our lives. Even we are not the same individuals at two distinct points on the time and space continuum. Diversity is the essential nature of God's creation. Then why should we have one religion for everyone? Who are these people who want to tell you which religion is better for you? What do they know about you or your connection with God? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let no one tell you what religion you should follow. Let your soul make the decision. Let it not be influenced by considerations that are of no consequences to your moral, mental and spiritual aspirations. Don't change your religion because somene wants to give you money or a job or someone wants to send your son or daughter to America. Don't sell your soul for money or material. If you are insincere and selfish in your current religious practice, you will be insincere and selfish in your new one also. Religion will not take you near God. It is your commmitment to your salvation, which will.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rationally speaking, your birth into a particular religion is either an accident or the will of God. If it is the former, then you don't have to worship any God. If it is the latter you have to respect the will of God and accept what has been given to you, perhaps as a part of your spiritual and moral development. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let us agree and acknowledge that religion is a tool for our self-transformation, not an end in itself. No one is going to reward us for fighting battles in the name of God. If God has given us all an individual will to exercise our discretion, it goes without saying that he also want us to use it intelligently to choose our our religious paths. So follow your heart and worship God according to your spiritual inclinations and your heart's silent aspiration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jayaram V &lt;p&gt;Forum: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hinduwebsiteforums.com/?forum=84069&quot;&gt;Hinduism&lt;/a&gt;

		<title>getting off the wheel, but not blissing out either</title>
		<link>http://www.hinduwebsiteforums.com/post?id=4799287</link>
		<description>I am not a Hindu but I probably could fit right in with the crowd. I've been trying to learn the deeper secrets of existence for years, read many books on the subject, and I'm at the point where I see I'll probably have to do meditation to go any further.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;A book summary is probably in order here..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Charan Singh: Light on Sant Mat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Lee Carroll: Various channeled books by Kryon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Barbara Brennan: Hands of Light, Light Emerging&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Neale Walsch: Conversations With God 1, 2, 3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Robert Monroe: Journeys out of the Body, Far Journeys, Ultimate Journeys&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Many others&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Monroe books are probably the clearest and most lucid western books on ideas of the astral body, and also probably the mystical ideas related to Hinduism itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have done some of the Monroe Hemi-sync audio-guided meditations, and I have managed to get to the point where the strong internal vibrations start, which is where astral separation apparently begins...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;But my living arrangements aren't very supportive of going any further with the humming and breathing exercises. Due to finances, for the past decade I've lived at home with a very Catholic mother that doesn't like such unChristian things, and the rest of the family thinks its weird, so nothing has been happening for about ten years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm slowly working on building up my finances to build a place of my own, which will have either a sound isolation room or an isolation float tank, or maybe both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;=======&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;I take a somewhat different direction with the whole reincarnation thing, which I consider to be the more empowered approach. There is this idea that everything is God, and the we are all a part of God, and potentially creating this experience in this moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;What is to prevent a part of God choosing to create its own reality, distinct from the rest of this stuff? The power of God appears to be unlimited, and it would appear that we too are also unlimited in our capability. It is only our present human existence that makes us seem limited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;I accept that there may be some sort of governing spiritual or mystical contract related to this world that prevents it from being corrupted by certain aspects of God wanting to change the game in progress. Monroe's books make a suggestion that some sort of governing contract may exist for souls intending to incarnate here, which must be accepted to participate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;However to make an allusion to computer games, it seems possible for God to make a copy of this universe and allow changes to the copy while leaving this one to run unchanged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Or just go off and create an entirely new reality using concepts or physics that are irrational, don't make any sense, and have no foundation in reality except for the will of the Creator to make it seem real. Here again I would point to computer games, where the simulated reality of most 3D games is just a simple mock-up with no substance behind it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Personally I am really looking forward to a &quot;Matrix-like&quot; computer VR simulation becoming possible, but I also fully recognize that this physical reality I experience now may also be a VR simulation running on the Creator's computer, or running within the mind/body of Creator itself, dreaming itself to be individualized atoms, forming a universe, spawning conscious beings..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;========&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;My question here, basically, is that if we are a part of God, and God is a part of us, and the purpose of existence is for God to experience itself..... then it would appear that the Creator would be willing to indulge me in my desire to go completely off the wheel and start a project of my own, create new subsouls out of myself just like God did when it created us, and so forth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;God appears to be capable of unlimited division and infinite action, and so perhaps we can take up the role of Creator ourselves if we so choose. It would appear the Creator doesn't care what we choose to do, but will willingly help us to experience it, because it is empowered through us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;The main problem is that aspiring to become a &quot;sub-Creator&quot; is probably considered egotistical and vain by most spirtual thinkers. You're supposed to be worshiping the Creator, not aspiring to directly become God. This sort of thinking might go so far as to be heretical or a sign of delusional thinking requiring medication, so I don't talk about such things very much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Though it would appear the original Creator itself had to be egotistical to create anything in the first place. It had to be aware of itself and its &quot;aloneness&quot; in order to be able to contemplate the idea of being something other that just itself. Otherwise it would still just be floating within its own infinite bliss for all eternity and none of this could have ever come into existence in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why not? If we truly are to be made in the image of the Creator, why can't we be allowed to accept that role and just see what else can be experienced above and beyond this repeating existence? If it's possible to go completely off and try doing something new, I want to find out if that is possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;=======&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am aware that potentially nothing new can be experienced, and the belief that everything that can exist already exists in every form possible and impossible. I am also aware that the Creator may exist outside time, and so may be in multiple states of awareness simultaneously, in Oneness, dual, and infinitely subdivided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also there is probably nothing new to learn because all we really need to do is re-member and re-unite with the Creator, and we can instantly know and become one with everything. Though it seems like this is what leads to the cycling of forgetting in the first place. We are bored with knowing all and so choose to forget... everything. Bam, back in the baby stroller again. I think God may have a serious crack cocaine habit, except with this it's the blissing out that results in the cycling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think the way off the wheel is to accept that yes I COULD bliss out. But I don't have to. And it isn't required. And not only is it not required but I most likely have already done it before millions of times. Billions maybe. And I've also forgotten it all before, too. Billions of times maybe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Perhaps I can choose a third path. To not bliss out and forget, but to remain individuated for as long as I possibly can, get off the wheel, assume the role of direct creator of my own experience, and do it all linearly, which of course will take forever. But we have that choice apparently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;It appears there's no hurry to get back to God and bliss out, since in the state of no-time, God is already at one with everything anyway. There is absolutely no need to repeat the bliss/forget cycle again, unless you really want to do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;==========&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;I also acknowledge these are just theories based on ideas I have read in books, and which have been told to me. I don't have any personal experience with these things, either mystically or physically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;I've tried to learn to see auras without much success. I still don't seem to be able to physically levitate by force of will alone, though I am able to do it frequently in my dreams, hovering several feet off the ground. I keep trying to remember how exactly I do it over there so I can do it here, too..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;===========&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm also halfway a total realist. This physical being writing this message may simply end up dying, rotting in a box, and the consciousness evoking these thoughts may simply dissolve into nothingness when the neural net in this flesh degrades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;These people who think they are astrally traveling could be deluding themselves, and the whole God-seeking thing that drives this search for higher meaning, could just be due to a random DNA encoding mutation in how organic brains accidentally evolved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Unknown, I still have insufficient data to make any conclusions either way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;But I would like to find out more about personally experiencing the mystical stuff, if possible, and if the mystical contract governing my existence here will allow for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;=======&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;So here we are, back at the humming and breathing exercises problem..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Forum: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hinduwebsiteforums.com/?forum=84069&quot;&gt;Hinduism&lt;/a&gt;

		<title>Reason for being Vegetarian</title>
		<link>http://www.hinduwebsiteforums.com/post?id=4796065</link>
		<description>Give me some seconds and Ill give you 1 great reason for being vegetarian. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;While fish is the most important dietary supply of the long-chain omega-3s eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, that have been shown to be crucial in supporting brain health, low intake of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in vegetarians won't adversely affect mood, as outlined by a new study (Nutr J. 2010;9:26. DOI:10.1186/1475-2891-9-26). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;A study team from Arizona State University conducted a cross-sectional study to compare the mood of vegetarians who never eat fish with the mood of healthy omnivorous adults. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;An overall total of 138 healthy Seventh Day Adventist adults living in Arizona and California (64 vegetarians and 79 non-vegetarians) were enrolled in the study and completed a health history questionnaire, food frequency questionnaire and two psychometric tests, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale and also the Profile of Mood States.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Vegetarians had significantly lower mean intakes of eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and the omega-6 arachidonic acid; they had higher intakes of the omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid and the omega-6 linoleic acid. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Seed oils are the richest sources of -linolenic acid, notably those of rapeseed (canola), soybeans, walnuts, flaxseed (Linseed oil), clary sage seeds, perilla, chia, and hemp.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;However, the vegetarians also reported even less negative emotion than omnivores in psychometric tests. Mean total psychometric scores were positively related to the mean intakes of eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid , and inversely associated with alpha-linolenic acid and linolenic acid intake. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;The research team noted there is also the chance that vegetarians may make better dietary choices and could generally be healthier and happier. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you'd like to give it a try, this is an example of vegetarian recipe based on Italian cuisine &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Italian Spaghetti with Zucchini &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ingredients: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; * 17 oz. Spaghetti &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; * 24 oz. Of thin sliced zucchini &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; * A half cup of walnuts oil &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; * Some basil leaves &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; * 2 tablespoons of yeast flakes &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; * Salt and pepper &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;In a skillet or frying pan heat the oil and when hot, add garlic and zucchini. Raise the heat and stir often to complete their cooking. They should be golden and crispy outside and tender inside. Cook the pasta, drain and saut in pan with zucchini, basil and yeast.

This influence is supposed to begin at birth. Astrologers consider that a person's date of birth has a powerful influence on their character type. Astrologers generally divide the year into 12 date ranges, each one corresponding to one of the 12 signs of the zodiac. Many believe that by finding out someone's star sign they will then be able to gain knowledge which will be useful for them in their dealings with that person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Astrologers draw up charts interpreting the movement of these heavenly bodies and then interpret these charts in such a way as to assign meaning to their various constructions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Although it may be dressed up with pseudo-scientific language, ultimately there is little correspondence between the constructions of astrology and the observations of scientific astronomers. The formations and concepts of astrology predate scientific knowledge concerning our Universe. They put the earth at the centre of the Universe, and all stars and planets are imagined to be moving around on the inside of the surface of a something like a spherical ball through various portions of the sphere known as &quot;houses&quot;. The technical details vary fromone tradition to another. But as we will see, once you believe in astrology, the technical details don't matter at all - the results are basically the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Astrology has been an important part of many a non-Christian religion. Certainly the Egyptians and Babylonians practised it. Today witches of all forms believe in it and guide their activities according to its principles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Astrology is an occult system because it claims to reveal a secret and mysterious esoteric knowledge to those who have been initiated in its systems and teachings. Down through the years there have always been people firmly convinced that our lives on earth are mysteriously influenced by the celestial bodies - the moon, the planets and the stars. It has been estimated that up to 1 billion people on earth today &quot;believe in or follow astrology to some extent&quot;. Many of the rich and famous of this world consult astrologers, convinced that the knowledge they gain will help them be successful in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;The real power of astrology is not merely in the horoscopes which are published in so many modern newspapers and magazines. Every day these horoscopes contradict each other in so many ways - and indeed, most professional astrologers complain that these columns are vastly oversimplified at best and &quot;utter nonsense&quot; at worst. No, the real power of astrology comes into play when someone goes to a professional astrologer for advice concerning their life and the decisions they must make. The astrologer may be able to come up with many amazing insights concerning the person's character and things that have happened to them in the past. This is attributed to knowledge gained through the charts. When many things are revealed about an otherwise unknown person, amazement and credulity are often the results. People drop their defenses and begin to believe very much in what the astrologer says. If he explains this power in terms of the stars then this may be believed without question. Before long a person can become dependant on the advice and counsel of professional astrologers for every major decision. The power of suggestion and possibly other powers may then become involved in powerfully influencing that person's life. Pretty soon all the events in a person's life - good and bad, may be interpreted in the light of the astrologer's pronouncements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Astrology teaches a worldview which is basically pagan in orientation. It is basically a form of divination - an attempt by occult means of gaining special knowledge, especially concerning the future. Belief in astrology is promoted wherever the occult arts are promoted. God condemns divination and the reason is simple. The power of the occult is not from the stars, the tea leaves, the candles, the material elements used. The source of occult knowledge and power is personal and it is spiritual. The spirits involved in it are those that lead a person away from loving trust and dependence upon God our Creator. God therefore views these spirits as evil. They mix a little truth with their lies. Another name for these evil spirits is &quot;demons&quot;. As unacceptable as it sounds to many ears - those who get involved in any of the occultic arts, including astrology, are opening themselves to become channels for demons.The concept of astrology dates back to ancient times. Beliefs about astrology vary across different regions and cultures. In general, astrology can be classified into two broad categories, namely, natural and judicial. Natural astrology involves the charting of planetary positions, while judicial astrology is based on the study of the effects of celestial bodies on human life. On the basis of regions and cultures, astrology is categorized as Western, Indian and Chinese. Western astrology is said to have been practiced, for the first time, by the people of Babylonia, from where it spread to other countries. In the 4th century BC, it reached Greece and soon after, Rome. Between 7th and 13th century BC, the Arab population began to believe in astrology. Within the next few centuries, the Mayans, the Aztecs and other cultures and civilizations also developed new forms of astrology.

We at wasco make our endavour to celebrate this divine concept of wellness in oneness by practicing vedic phylosophy, astrology, soul to soul tranmission of powers, tantra healing through traditional yantra - mantra and bhakti. We need to hear your queries at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:wasco@worshipper.com&quot;&gt;wasco@worshipper.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;In quest of identity and destiny man discovered philosophy and religion. In search of realization of philosophical truth and religious summum bunum of life Lord Shiva expounded scientific and mystic tradition known as Tantra. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tantra forms the esoteric basis of all religion and provides sound philosophical foundation of spirituality. We at wasco  presents an indepth analysis and reflection of the root concepts of Tantra such as Kundalini, Mantra and Yantra. Tantra provides an esoteric and physiological significance of  tantric Sadhana. Tantra believes that poison that kills a man when scientifically cultured by physician it becomes the elixir of life. bhog when sublimated, it opens the door for salvation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tantra is a happy and harmonious blending of enjoyment (Bhoga) and salvation (yoga).  It is an intuitional science. The Canonical literature of Tantra is written in Twilight language (Sandhya Bhasa). Its apparent meaning is quite different from the real meaning. Only those who get initiated by a proper Guru in Tantra Sadhana understand the mystic significance of different symbols and esoteric practices.we should never misuse the word tantra ,we take help of tantra only for remedial measures in astrology not more than that. Upanishads are manuals of higher sadhana for advanced and initiated aspirants. It delineates the ancient path of kundalini awakening in its original and pure form before the proliferation of modern yogic literature. This form  elucidates a unique combination of kundalini yoga and vedantic upasana. It discusses the nadis, prana vayus, chakras and kundalini shakti, and also provides detailed descriptions of ajapa gayatri and pranava, which are older vedic and upanishadic meditative techniques of enlightment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;So ultimately if you are in search of spiritual enlightenment, you must first seek to discover what your soul purpose in life is. Your soul purpose is the reason you are placed on earth, or can be better understood as what you should strive to accomplish during your life. Once you know your soul purpose, you can then seek spiritual enlightenment to discover the best path to reach that goal. In short, you soul purpose in life is the finish line or what you hope to leave behind, while spiritual enlightenment can be the map or direction you should take or understand in order to finish. Spirituality is not an affection towards God but it is a mutual aggrement between super divine with the pertual soul and it's metaphase eternal embrassment. Between the soul and Divine God there exists bodily stage which totally depends on the theory of Karma in which soul performs good or bad tasks and according to its performance god decides that it is perfect for salvation or not. When we chant mantra the effect is not mere carried by our body but it is simultaniously related with the soul. The soul transmits the power of mantra  the subdued energy of mantra then reaches the god and then the god in return embrasses the soul with his super divine desired powers. Our sole purpose of healing through mantra is based on this philosophy that in todays world no mantra, no yantra, is working when practiced by ordinary person an ordinary person can just do prayers.Unless authority like us performs puja, anushthan, mantra meditation, then definitely it provide immediate healing for which we take special charges because in Kaliyuga all mantra are already blocked by lord shiva but  the person who knows it can open the key of that perticular mantra , it takes years to open a single mantra through continious sadhanas. Because mantra needs removal o curses which are already there affecting the power of mantra .We have to first remove those curses from that mantra then we can chant that mantra and get beniefits of the energy generated by mantra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Most people are blessed with certain gifts or abilities that can help point in the direction of your soul purpose. For example, many people are healers while others are doers. Some people have a soul purpose to help others while some will have the ability to design plans so others can be helped. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your soul purpose may simply be to raise a family so that your children go on to make a difference in the world. No one can tell you your soul purpose. It is something you must seek to discover through internal reflection and self discovery. In essence, your soul purpose is whatever ability you have to accomplish something with your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Once you have discovered your soul purpose, you can then seek spiritual enlightenment to assist in your journey. Spiritual enlightenment is a basic understanding of powers higher than yourself and how those powers can be of help or aid in the journey to reach or attain goals. Spiritual enlightenment is not a moment in time where things suddenly become clear and the path is laid perfectly in front of you. Spiritual enlightenment is a process that happens over years of searching and studying to find the correct life map of the way that things should be done. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Spiritual enlightenment is not simply a guideline of what direction you should go but it is a guide in a way to how you should live your life. Spiritual enlightenment is a process of discovering which things you believe are good to do in life and the way you should live your life. It will help you understand how to deal with people and situations and be able to feel like you did the right thing in the end. This can be discovered through prayer, meditation, and studying in books or with other people. This should be a learning process of what you do in your daily life that makes you feel good about your actions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;In short, you must figure out your soul purpose in life and then discover the way to fulfill it while not sacrificing your own soul. If you fulfill your goal, but in the end you can't stand who you have become along they way, you may regret the journey. Using spiritual enlightenment to fulfill your soul purpose will insure that in the end you can live with the steps you took to accomplish the goal. If you are in need of spiritual guidance, there are many ways to locate healers that can assist with finding your way. Spiritual guidance is used to find new ways to heal sicknesses, especially those that deal with the psychological and emotional areas of the body. There are many different types of healers available today. Some of the more popular techniques and beliefs used by healers are homeopathy, ayurvedic treatments, allopathy, and Hekma. While healing through spiritual guidance has not been practiced extensively, it has been proven to be effective in treatments for physical, mental, and emotional ills.Healers often use spiritual guidance from the holy books of the Bible, Qur'an, and the Torah. These three religions use healers to treat sickness and disease. While spiritual guidance may mean different things to people who practice different religions, the basics are usually the same. We at wasco provide answers to your queries related with remedial astrology and with the help of tantra, mantra and divine yantras. You can contact us on  &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:worldastrocureorganization@ibibo.com&quot;&gt;worldastrocureorganization@ibibo.com&lt;/a&gt; and experiance superdivine yantric healing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; According to Shastras, Yantras are divided into Seven types which are used accordingly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sharir Yantra :- There are six chakras in the body, through which Kundalini is awakened. These are specific Yantras for each Chakra which are worn or used accordingly. Each Yantra carries seperate mantras which if recited indicates different gains. These are called Sharir Yantras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dharn Yantra :- As the name indicates, these Yantras are worn on different parts of the body for specific use. They bestow the results when used accordingly. There are several such Yantras and methods. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Asan Yantra :- Such Yantras are kept under Aasna at the time of Sadhana. These bears fruits early than other Yantras These are Yantras which are placed in temples, in the foundation of houses, used as Devas as mentioned earlier. Such Yantras are kept under every Deva for early good results. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mandal Yantra :- In this the Sadhakas are made to sit in the shape of Yantras itself. Nine persons take part in it. One sits in the centre, four persons in four directions and others recite other mantras. The Sadhana with this Yanra bears fruit early.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pooja Yantra : - We have earlier indicated that Tantras are installed in temples and Pooja is performed. Actually these Yantras are of a different devas. Such Yantras are installed in many ways namely:-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;While installing the idols of Devas, the Yantras are written in digits and accordingly while performing pooja, the names of respective Devas are recited. The Muslims write 786 which is a digital Yantra for the word &quot;Bisam Allah&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;In Yantra, the name of Deva is written in the centre and pooja is performed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Some Yantras are prepared while writing the mantras, in such case, we write full mantras some where, at other place the first words of mantras are written, whereas in other cases we write Beej mantras only.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;On some yantras the photos of Devas and Devi etc are pasted or drawn and pooja is performed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;In Such yantras colours are used in the pictures of Devas etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Chhatar Yantra:- The above yantras enuomerated at Serial 1 to 5 are writeten at the place where you sit, on at the roof top, on the Skull etc and are Called Chhatar Yantras. These yantras are kept under turbon, hat, or in a Cloth which is kept always with the man as towel etc or be kept in a pocket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Darshan Yantras:- These are yantras, which are if seen by the Sadhaka, he is benefitted. Or the place where these are installed or worn, blesses the native with Success. In India there are places where purified yantras are installed and those places are very powerful to mitigate the rtroubles and evils of the people if pooja is performed there. In temples of Jagan Nath Puri, Ishairon Yantra and in Shri Nath Dwar is installed Sudarshan yantra etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;The world is composed of Five elements Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Sky. In Yantras where lines are used with the basic concept of Bindu or point, all these elements are used particularly Earth, Water and Fire. Yantras are rectangular and of Water element are round whereas that of Fire are Tringular. Five or more sides Yantras are too used.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Triangular Yantra when is of raised lines indicates Lord SHIVA'S Yantra and when is of Carved lines denotes of BHAGWATI Yantra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;These Fire elements Yantra indicate specific use, which are to be memorised by the Sadhaka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Prithvi Tatva:- These Yantras bestow contenment, comforts, ambitions and success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jal Tatva :- These Yantras bless the native with respect, Love, Contentment, removes restlessness, Smoothness, affection in life and wisdom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Agni Tatva:- These Yantras are helpful in gaining respect, success, avert failures and troubles etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Vayu Tatva :- These Yantras stand for difficulties, disrespect, unintelligence, etc and they increase such instinets and attract the users to vices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Akash Tatva :- These Yantras are useful for creating affection, education, Love for all, removing worries, and success in efforts for spirituality in solitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;In Mohammdan practice, Yantras has been divided into Four types, and known as Atshi, Badi Abbi and Khakhi which corresponds to Fiery (Agni), Airy (Vayu), Watery (Jal) and Earthy (Prithvi) respectively. In Hindu and other religions these are used for specific but for same purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Agni or Atshi Yantras are written on paper, Bhoj Patra, old clothes, China wares etc. these Yantras are put in Fire or burried near hearth place or Fire place etc. They bless the the native with success and help in overcoming the diffculties of life and for controlling dreams etc. These should be written facing East, sitting on one knee and near the Fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Badi or Airy yantras are those which are bung with a tree or are placed at a height where they should remain in motion.

It represents Devi Lalita Tripura Sundari or Kamakshi Devi or Shodasi Devi or Shakti. The outer 3 lines, called the 1st Avarana, represent her feet, the inside 8 petal lotus, called the 3rd Avarana, represents her nabhi or naval and so on. There are 28 Devies placed in specific places on the 3 lines - or her feet. The other Avaranas also have different Devies placed at different specific locations. While doing Tantrik worship, where each of these Devies are individually worshipped with mantras and by offering flowers or Akshintas etc., it is more convenient to worship a Yantra than a picture or an idol. The same is the case with Hanuman yantra, or Kubera yantra or Navagraha yantra etc. - with variations in deities, numbers, locations and beeja mantras etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the olden days people used to draw a yantra at the pooja place, on the ground or on a wooden board or metal piece, with rice flour or wheat flour or sindoor. This was very convenient but while doing pooja it can easily get erased. A longer lasting method was to make a yantra by engraving the yantra on a copper or brass plate. The rich class used silver or gold plates. They had to go through all this trouble because in those days there was no paper or printing. The metallic materials are used essentially to enhance the longevity and the visual presentation. In some cases for certain specific purposes yantras made of gold, silver etc are prescribed. Today, for regular normal worship the best is to get a good printed yantra and laminate it.  If the purpose of your buying a yantra is simply to hang it at the pooja place, or wear it, or do a simple worship with a stotra or mantra, then you are better off buying a picture or an idol of that God than a yantra, because, for example, the photo of Lord Shiva is more familiar to you and invokes more bhakti feeling than His yantra. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;However, If you want to do a proper Tantrik worship (which gives quicker and better results), by ritualistically following all the anganyasa, karanyasa, mudra, avahana, pratisthana, offerings, rituals and worship the various places of the yantra with the prescribed beeja mantras, then a yantra is more useful. For proper Tantrik worship you have to do the pratisthana yourself and by following all the rules do a 100,000 times mantra japa within 44 days (one mandala). Normally people do 125,000 times mantra japa in 48 days - the extra number to take care of any mistakes in pronunciation or counting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Even if you cannot do a full ritualistic pratisthana etc, at least you must worship 108 times daily with the prescribed mantra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now a days a lot of self proclaimed Mantriks, Tantriks and web pundits are promising the sun, moon and the stars to gullible people with all kinds of nonsense. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; This website does not support any black magic practices as we prepare divine yantras according to the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt; specific requirement of specific person our soul purpose is to heal that person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;our high special yantras are kailash yantra, kuber yantra , kartavirya arjun yantra, swarnakarshan bhairav yantra, shree yantra, maruti yantra, baglamukhi yantra, all yantras are made with high care and elegance .
