Moon and Mind

Well I came to know certain thing about moon and its effect over mind. Most of the people would have heard word of mouth infos something like "During full moon and new moon days the lunatics behave weird and they will be uncontrollable" I was thinking that may be something mystic to do with ghost and spirit stuff, but few months before i came across some facts and found that the Moon has certain effect on human body. How?.





We all know that moon has a gravitational pull and compared earth it is less, that is why during full moon days and new moon days the tides are violent in the sea shores.Why water? its because of its liquid property the gravitational force is visible but actually it has effect on all the matter. why only on full moon and new moon days?. The Moon revolves around the earth in an elliptical orbit so the moon comes closer to the earth in orbit every 15 days approximately. When the moon is between the sun and earth is also closer to the earth along the orbit, it is new moon day. when earth is between sun and moon it is full moon day. Since moon is closer in distance to the earth , the gravitational pull of the moon is high during that time.

What happens because of this?. The moon pulls the particles in earth. the easiest on to pull is water/fluid so it pulls it up. That is why the tides are violent!!. Now imagine our earth water content. The exact percentage of water (on Earth) is 71.11% ,and the exact percentage of land (on Earth) is 28.89% . is making water to go violent if this is the case with earth what about our human body, which is made up of 65% water. so there is an obvious effect of moon's gravitational pull over human body. Actually our whole body has effect but we realize only in our mind, its because our body's effect affects the mind. Our human brain becomes completely restless and will be hyper active since we are normal being we think that we are excited because of some incidents happened recently but we forget that we are the one who make the incidents to happen because of the hyper activeness. That is why the word "Lunatic" comes from "Lunar" Since it is restless all the talents and creativity comes out in many forms. But you have to see carefully that it has equally negative effects also one can get hurt so easily during this time, I even monitored some news channels and found that during these days the crime rate is comparatively high. The mind becomes so sensitive to both good and bad , so its better to always stay in good things so our full moon day goes productive and positive.

The enlightened masters say that when you meditate without any food during theses days as in + or - 2 days continuously then the peace and the glimpse is guaranteed. Also in Indian culture, 3 days before new moons day is observed for fasting and meditation. Not only that, Moon plays a vital role in Womens life. a Woman's Menstrual cycle is linked with Moon, it regulates the menstrual cycle, can trigger ovulation and fertile times, as the moon changes its phases Women cycle also changes its phase, Most of the modern menstrual problem or mental problem occurs because they are not in sync with the moon phase due to usage medical drugs to postpone or make it early.



Moon not only controls our mind but it controls the whole earth to run stable,Science says that life in earth is because of the moon. We have always seen that in the medieval age or earlier people were honest,kind, without jealous , without corruption, all these effects are because of the moon.



The Moon was earlier closer to earth and gravity of the moon was strong, and was controlling the mind of people to be calm and peaceful. That is why in the ancient culture such are Egyptian, Greek, Indian we see significant respect for the moon. Every time as the time moves the Moon is moving away from the earth, and also the rotation time changes causing a drastic change in climate, mind, and the entire environment.



In the Yoga there is a worship of Moon called "Chandra Namskar" means Moon worship

Sound Vibrations and Origin of Languages

Many researches have been going on how languages were originated, but researchers have not reached to any conclusion so far. Well, they have been suggesting the similarities in various languages, like Latin and Modern English, Sanskrit and Other Indian Languages and even simlarities in Sanskrit and English. But the origin of basic languages like Sanskrit, Arbi, Latin is still unknown. What is language, many words constitute to form a language. and words are the different sound vibrations, which I have already discused in my previous posts about Kundalini  lie in our body itself on the lotus petals. Sound vibrations have nothing to do with any specific religion and thesr are same for every human body and consciousness. That is why these languages are also called the divine languages (Dev-Vaani),



Petals On Chakras

Each Chakra has a particular number of petals with a Sanskrit alphabet on each petal. The vibration that is produced at each petal is represented by the corresponding Sanskrit letter. Every letter denotes the Mantra of Devi Kundalini. The letters exist in the petals in a latent form. These can be manifested and the vibrations of the Nadis felt during concentration.

Muladhara Chakra

Svadhishthana Chakra

Manipura Chakra

Anahata Chakra

Vishuddha Chakra

Ajna Chakra

The location of these Energy Centres in our body has already been descibed in one of  my Previous Post

The number of petals of the lotuses varies. Muladhara, Svadhishthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha and Ajna Chakras have 4, 6, 10, 12, 16, and 2 petals respectively. All the 50 Sanskrit letters are on the 50 petals. The number of petals in each Chakra is determined by the number and position of the Yoga Nadis around the Chakra. I will make it still clear. From each Chakra a particular number of Yoga Nadis crop up. The Chakra gives the appearance of a lotus with the Nadis as its petals. The sound produced by the vibrations of the Yoga Nadis is represented by the corresponding Sanskrit letter. The Chakras with their petals hang downwards when Kundalini is at the Muladhara Chakra. When it is awakened, they turn towards Brahmarandhra. They always face the side of Kundalini.

Kundalini Yoga - Scientific Theory

We have brain cells called neurons, there are 2 billion neurons in our brain. But actually we don't have neurons only in our brain we have 6 more energy centers in our spinal cord, these energy centers are made up of neurons, if we see, collectively all these 6 energy centers have 2 billion neurons, i.e., we have 4 billion neurons in total. But these energy centers are not used by us.

In kundalini sadhna we can activate these energy centers and can use them collectively.

There are 7 chakras (energy centers) Mooladhara, Swadishthana, Manipura, Anahat, Vishudhi, Ajnya and Sahasrara Chakra. These chakras represents Earth, Water Fire, Air, Sky, Individual Consciousness and Cosmic consciousness respectively. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet (VIBGYOR)colors of these chakras respectively.

If we do kundalini sadhna and activate these chakras, we can see colors of them, and when all the chakras are activated all the colors combine and make white color, so we can see white light within.

As we know sun provides us energy necessary for life in form of white light. But after completion of knudalini sahdna we can see white light within, it means now we don't need sun's energy to survive. So if one starts living at his own, it means he is not dependent on any other external factor for survival. (so the person is eternal) Or in Kundalini sadhna it's the state of "Samadhi/Bliss". The one who attains it, may say "Aham Bhramasmi" or "I Am The God".

Mysterious Kabbalah....Last Part 4

Malchut

One of the deepest teachings of Kabbalah is also one of the simplest: that the world is not what it seems. As we have already explored, that which we experience as the world is actually a veil for the Infinite Oneness, the only thing that really is. Refracted through the various lenses of the sefirot, this "light" is the true structure of what is happening right now.







But what about what seems to be happening right now? A computer, a table, a person reading — are these illusion, maya in the words of another religious tradition?





In the Kabbalah's understanding, the manifest world is also Divine, but it is — using the mythic language of the theosophical Kabbalah — in exile; in a state of apparent separation; in need of unity.





There's a wise teaching that while the mind may know that all is one, the heart still experiences two. You and me; here and there; now and later — or before. And so the heart experiences a yearning which is sometimes sweet, oftentimes holy, and other times bitter and tinged with pain.





This yearning is also part of our reality. Our experience of separateness is part of our reality. And that which is present is not mere illusion: it is the Presence of the Divine, the shechinah, the tenth sefirah, also known as malchut, sovereignty.





Malchut completes the chain of the sefirot. If we imagine the first three sefirot to be an idea arising in the mind, the second three to be the stirrings in the heart as it weighs and evaluates it, and the third three to be the qualities of action that bring it into being, then malchut is its actual being; its manifestation. Yesod has gathered together all of the energies of creation — and then it creates. Malchut is the result.





In short kabalah tells us process , how will is converted in to the actions through thought and emotions. Jagatmithya Brahmsatya. (The world is illusionary “I” am the truth). Or “Ahambrahmasmi”.





This very short guided tour of the sefirot is only one of many which could have been offered. Consult another Kabbalah site, or book, and you will receive a completely different perspective. Such is the nature of the Kabbalah and its symbolism: expansive, open to interpretation, and rooted in a thousand years of polysemous texts. I have focused on the mythical, psychological and theosophical aspects of the sefirot. But I might just as well have focused on the astrological, or even the magical. Of course, another fundamental teaching of the Kabbalah is that interpretation is infinite. We are grounded in sacred text, in this exploration, and hopefully the roots of the tree are strong; but the branches extend far up and away.





The tree of the sefirot itself is only one of many symbolic structures in the Kabbalah, and to learn Kabbalah in an authentic way requires a serious playfulness, a willingness to delve deeper and deeper into these fascinating images and myths, to see where both the historical and personal truths reside.

Mysterious Kabbalah....Part 3

Netzach, Hod, and Yesod



In the Kabbalistic schema, netzach and hod balance into yesod. If tiferet is the heart center, bringing together the various emotional energies to the core of inner balance, yesod is the sexual organ, bringing together the various productive energies to the place of generativity. Recall that all sefirot have anatomical correspondences: hesed, gevurah and tiferet are right arm, left arm and heart-center; netzach, hod, and yesod are right leg, left leg, and sex organ.





In some charts of the sefirot, yesod is simply the phallus, and in many Kabbalistic texts, it does function in this way. But the situation is actually more complicated. Sexually, yesod is the conduit between male and female energy, and as such includes both male and female genitalia. Think of it in terms of generation and procreation. Yesod is where the energies come together — the Kabbalists did not have an idea of "genetic material" as we do, though it maps on quite well — and are united into manifestation, which is malchut — the last sefirah which we'll get to next. For a man, this can be understood as bringing together all the energies and projecting them out into the world. For a woman, it might be understood as bringing together all the energies so that their manifestation can be birthed

Mysterious Kabbalah....Part 2

Hesed, Gevurah, and Tiferet



The second triad in the tree of the sefirot is that of hesed, gevurah, and tiferet, or lovingkindness, judgment, and harmony. This triad is probably the easiest to understand. But to make it simpler I advise you to take the first three triads as Brahma, the creator, the second triad as Vishnu, the operator and the next three triad as the Shiva in formless state (or the shivalinga) the state just before the manifestation and the last sefirot Malchut as Ganesha. Always remember Brahma Vishnu and Mahesh are not the three different Gods but these are the three different attributes or characteristics of one God.





The dynamic relationship between hesed and gevurah can be expressed in terms of human relationship. We might suppose that all we want in the world is more hesed, more lovingkindness, and a person should try to cultivate and express as much of it as possible. Often, that may be true. But imagine a relationship in which one partner is always full of hesed, doing everything for the other partner, not caring for his/her own needs, and trying, all the time, to help, nurture, feed, support, guide, provide for, and generally love the other. Quickly, such a relationship will become dysfunctional. Eventually the other partner will form a dependence on the first one, or will feel smothered, or will yearn for self-expression and some degree of self-sufficiency. A relationship in which separateness is completely lost is not a healthy relationship. So even in the case of two lovers, gevurah — restraint, holding back — is necessary.



As I mentioned above these three triads can be easily understood as Lord Vishnu, who is the operator or the palanhar, but he is also having the kaalchakra in one hand meant for the judgement to maintain the balance that is the balance between love and judgement. Usually, what our world needs is more hesed, more lovingkindness; more extension of the self to help and nurture others. But not for the sake of hesed, but for the sake of tiferet — harmony, beauty, compassion — the place of balance between hesed and gevurah
