Spiritual Significance of Indian Rangoli

Spiritual Significance of Indian Rangoli imageSpiritual Significance of Indian Rangoli

Like the rangoli is so colorful, let’s fill our life with the colors of virtues! 

The color of virtues!

Even a simple Rangoli looks so beautiful… Similarly, even a simple spiritual smile on the face (without any make-up!) looks very beautiful!

Making the rangoli is more enjoyable than just looking at it… Similarly, happiness lies in the journey of life (i.e., every moment!), rather than just at the destination (i.e., when we achieve!) 

Some rangolis contain shapes of flowers, birds & animals… Hence, having true love & respect for all living beings on this planet

We need to be careful not to put our foot on the rangoli… Similarly, let’s never upset anyone’s happy & beautiful state of mind!

Many have a hobby of making Rangolis… Similarly, let’s make it our hobby of spiritually serving & benefitting others!

Many are experts at the art of making rangolis… Similarly, let’s become experts at the art of living life!

Designing a beautiful Rangoli!

Many love designing rangolis… Similarly, let’s design our most beautiful life, through the power of spiritual knowledge & meditation!

Making a rangoli first involves making the outline, & then filling it with colors… Hence, spiritual knowledge provides us the outline (i.e., direction) to our life, and then meditation empowers us to implement the same (i.e., fills our life with virtues!)

Today, there’re readymade rangoli designs available… Similarly, there’re many readymade meditation commentaries available, for having easy experiences in meditation!

Even Rangoli stickers are available today, which remain stuck for long… Similarly, let’s remain combined & connected to our Supreme Father God always!

Making a rangoli is a patient exercise… Hence, let’s patiently decorate our life with divine virtues!

Other Points

The outline around the rangoli makes the whole Rangoli look so much better… Similarly, the outline around our body is the aura (i.e., energy body, which is created based on our quality of thoughts).. Hence, let’s ensure a sparkling aura always, by creating & maintaining only the most elevated thoughts!

Rangoli making is a creative exercise… Hence, let’s always remember the key to creativity is a silent mind… Hence, let’s ensure the same by avoiding putting in anything negative, and only putting pure information inside us! 

Conclusion (Spiritual Significance of Indian Rangoli)

Hence today, let’s design our most beautiful life, by filling it with the colors of virtues… And this not only keeps us very comfortable, light (& makes our aura powerful), but also comforts & benefits everyone around… Indeed, let’s become so powerful, that we constantly maintain the experience of these virtues (e.g., smiling face, sweetness, etc) in our life, hence becoming instrumental in bringing the divine land Satyuga once again! 

Om Shanti!

The word rangoli rightly contains the word rang i.e., colors… Hence, you might also like to read my messages on the Indian festival of colors, Holi:

The Art of Earning Wealth + Blessings | Happy Dhanteras Wishes

The Art of Earning Wealth + Blessings | Happy Dhanteras Wishes imageThe Art of Earning Wealth + Blessings | Happy Dhanteras Wishes

Earning wealth is a very important aspect of life… Hence today, let’s learn the art of earning wealth + blessings!

The dynamics of earning!

The physical body requires food, house, etc (& we also have many other needs)… Hence, we definitely need to earn money to fulfill these needs!

And while working earns us physical wealth… Our way of working determines the energy we earn, which significantly influences our state of mind throughout the day! 

Indeed, since wealth is physical, it can only give physical comfort (or temporary pleasure)… Hence, let’s also earn the subtle wealth of blessings alongwith, to remain very light & full of happiness the whole day!

And the one who earns blessings, automatically earns lots of physical wealth too!… Suppose an apple vendor recommends you not to buy from him today (because apples are not fresh)… Although he made a loss that day, we’ll (apart from giving lots of blessings) always go to him in the future, resulting in profits for a lifetime for the apple vendor… Hence, the one who earns blessings, earns physical wealth much more than his normal capacity!

Earning blessings also has numerous other benefits:

  • This dua (i.e., good wishes) acts as a powerful shield of protection 
  • Builds our stock of elevated karma, hence creating the most illustrious fortune 
  • Goes with the soul, hence also ensuring an illustrious destiny in our next birth

How to earn blessings?

It doesn’t require any extra time… Indeed, even just sharing smiles, sweet words & co-operation; earns us lots of blessings from all!

While doing business, it’s possible for both the parties to benefit.. Hence the easiest way to earn blessings is to look for their benefit also, in addition to just our benefit! 

Working with peace & love (rather than with stress, anger, giving sorrow to others, etc)… Also earns us very good vibrations from everyone around!

An elevated state of mind!

All the above becomes natural, when our state of mind is elevated… Hence for this, let’s devote atleast few minutes of time daily, for listening to spiritual knowledge & meditation!

This is a very small investment, considering the immense benefits from blessings… And, we actually end up saving much much more time than that given!

Conclusion (Happy Dhanteras Wishes)

Indian culture gives a very high position to wealth, by equating it with Goddess Lakshmi… Hence, it’s only this wealth (i.e., earned with complete honesty & by giving happiness to others), which can be equated to Goddess Lakshmi!… Hence, let’s keep earning this true Lakshmi (i.e., wealth + blessings) at every step, which keeps our state of mind elevated as well as benefits others, hence helping bring the divine land Satyuga once again!

Om Shanti!

Since Dhanteras comes on the 13th Day (of the Hindu month Ashwin), you might also like to read on the lucky number 13!

Spiritual Significance of Diyas

Spiritual Significance of Diyas imageSpiritual Significance of Diyas

Like the diya is a flame on earthen vessel, even we’re souls in this physical body!

Hence, we’re spiritual diyas… Glowing in the experience of peace, love & joy!

Sparkling the light of soul-consciousness!

The flame is very bright, sparkling & beautiful… Hence, when we remain in the experience of our original virtues inside, even our face starts sparkling with joy!

Thus, to remain in the constant experience of peace, love & joy (i.e., to keep this diya shining always!)… Let’s:

  • Keep ourselves full of the oil of spiritual knowledge… Which keeps fuelling the awareness that we’re originally very pure, divine souls! 
  • Keep our wick of purity erect… Since purity is the mother of peace, love & joy! 
  • Even if fast winds (or storms) of situations & people come… Let’s remain full of stability & peace!

It’s considered inauspicious for the diya to doze off… Hence, let’s ensure full awareness & attention on our thoughts, to keep this flame of soul-consciousness lit always!

Indeed, when this diya starts remaining lit always… Our every day will become as happy & joyous as Diwali!

Connecting to the ever-shining flame God!

The diya needs to be lighted from an external source… Hence, let’s connect to the ever-shining flame God (who lights the flame of all!), to light our flame of soul-consciousness!

Indeed in Diwali, there’s one big lamp using which many small lamps are lit… Hence, God is that Deepraj (King of Lamps) who lights the flame of all of us Deepranis!

And when our flame is lit, we can light other diyas too… Hence, let’s ignite the flame of true peace, love & joy in all!… Thus, creating a rosary of diyas (i.e., Deepavali!) 

And when everyone’s flame is ignited, the world outside gets transformed into Satyuga once again!

Diya means Giving!

The word diya means to give… Hence, let’s keep giving to all!

Although diyas are available in many different shapes & designs, their flame is the same… Similarly, even though we may be different in terms of age, gender, position, etc, originally as souls we’re one!… This awareness makes it very natural to keep giving love & respect to all!

Even the most beautifully designed but unlit diya seems dull compared to an ordinary but lit diya… Hence, let’s enhance our inner beauty of virtues, rather than just focusing on external looks!

Meditation Commentary (Spiritual Significance of Diyas)

In this earthen vessel (body)… I the diya… Sparkling in the experience of purity, peace, love & joy..

God Himself has said… Like me, you’re full of divinity & joy… Brightening my happiness even more..

He’s full of bright light… Of love… Filling me with His divine energy… Recharging my battery… He’s my dear Deepraj.. 

Will keep this flame lit the whole day today… Irrespective of anything outside… The power of God’s love is with me always..

Will keep sharing His love with all… Creating Satyuga again..

Om Shanti!

Concluding Thoughts – Celebrating Navratri Always | Happy Navratri Festival Special Wishes

Celebrating Navratri Always | Happy Navratri Festival Special Wishes imageCelebrating Navratri Always | Happy Navratri Festival Special Wishes

This is the last post of our ‘Spiritual Significance of Navratri‘ series

In this series, we’ve explored the spiritual significance of Navratri, Dussehra, Shiv Shaktis & then each specific Shiv Shakti… i.e., Maa Durga, Ambe Maa, Maa Saraswati, Santoshi Maa, Maa Kali, Maa Parvati, Gayatri Mata & Goddess Lakshmi!… And also Jwala Devi, Naina Devi, Khodiyar Maa, Sheetla Mata, Kuldevis, Chamunda Maa & Bahuchar Maa!

Every festival (utsav) brings a lot of enthusiasm (utsaah)… And God says every moment of your life is a festival i.e., a life full of joy & enthusiasm!

Hence, like we enjoyed the Raas Garba these 9 days… Similarly:

  • Let’s keep dancing in supersensuous joy always… i.e., the dance of the mind! 
  • Like we perform such harmonious group dances… Let’s ensure the same harmony in our relationships, by adjusting with everyone’s sanskars!

And to remain happy always, we just need to invoke our Shaktis (i.e., powers) within, by meditating for atleast few minutes daily!…(To make it easy, have specially created a playlist of some really wonderful & simple Rajyoga Meditation commentaries, for you!)

Indeed, this ensures we also inculcate the same qualities as our Maa (i.e., Mataji) in ourselves!

Further, like many perform a havan at end of Navratri… Similarly:

  • Like we sacrifice jowar, sesame & ghee in the fire… Let’s create a thought to God that this body (which is tall like jowar), mind (subtle like sesame) & wealth (i.e., ghee) is yours… This makes us very light & free, hence automatically making us fulfill responsibilities better! 
  • Like we sacrifice all remaining ingredients at end of Yagya… Let’s sacrifice all our weaknesses together at end of this Navratri! 
  • The physical fire actually represents the fire of meditation (Yog Agni), which burns all weaknesses within!

Conclusion (Happy Navratri Festival Special Wishes)

Hence, in this dark Kaliyuga night (ratri), let’s emerge the new (nav) awareness of being a Shiv Shakti [i.e.,, a Shakti (soul) combined with Shiv (Supreme soul)] … To remain full of divine virtues & powers, hence gradually finishing all the weaknesses within… In other words, when we inculcate God’s spiritual knowledge within us (like Maa Saraswati & Gayatri Mata), it automatically emerges the power to finish all weaknesses (like Maa Durga & Maa Kali), hence making us ever-content, ever-loving & ever-giving (like Ambe Maa & Santoshi Maa)… Indeed, we get transformed from humans to deities (like Goddess Lakshmi), and the world outside from Kaliyuga to the divine land Satyuga once again!

Om Shanti!

As part of our series on ‘Spiritual Significance of Navratri

Spiritual Significance of Bahuchar Maa

Bahuchar Maa is shown seated on a cock 🐓… Which wakes up everyone early & then goes to sleep itself… Hence, denoting becoming victorious over this weakness, of preaching something else & practising something else!

And is shown:

  • With scriptures in hand… Denoting a truthful soul i.e., whose thoughts, words & actions are in harmony!
  • Giving blessings… Hence, in such a truthful state, our good words have a lot of power… Hence, benefitting others immensely i.e., are blessings in the true sense!
  • With a sword 🗡️ & trishul… Hence, instantly finishing any wrong thought that may arise, to ensure the most elevated thoughts always!

Conclusion (Spiritual Significance of Bahuchar Maa)

Hence today, let’s realize the main reason for disharmony between thoughts & actions is lack of power to implement the right… Hence, let’s remain connected to the Supreme, to remain full of spiritual power (enabling us to remain in the constant experience of peace, love & joy!)… Which automatically makes our actions too flow in the right direction… Hence, this truthfulness in our thoughts words & actions becomes instrumental in bringing the 100% truthful land Satyuga once again!

Om Shanti!

Chamunda Maa means victorious over the demons Chand (denoting the seemingly attractive vices of lust, greed & attachment) & Mund (denoting the ferocious looking vices of anger & ego)… And is shown:

  • As old-aged… Hence, when we consider ourselves a soul (which is ageless), we can win over all the vices (i.e., remain in the constant experience of peace, love & joy)! 
  • With an owl🦉 Which remains awake in the night… Hence, denoting waking up slightly early to practise powerful early morning meditation, which makes it very easy to win over vices! 
  • With a damru (drum)… Hence, remaining alert & active (i.e., keeping full attention on our thoughts), to ensure no waste of negative thought starts growing in our mind! 
  • Creating fear… Hence, let’s become so pure & divine, that negativity fears coming in front of us!

Most other features of Chamunda Maa (e.g., fierce nature, skull-necklace, corpse at feet, etc) resemble Maa Kali

Conclusion (Spiritual Significance of Chamunda Maa) 

Hence today, let’s consider ourselves a soul & remember the Supreme… This fills us with the divine power of purity, peace & joy… And like darkness cannot exist where there’s light, similarly vices & sorrow cannot exist in the light of our original virtues… Hence, making us victorious over vices in an extremely easy manner, thus helping bring the divine land Satyuga once again!

Om Shanti!

Spiritual Significance of Kuldevi & Kuldevtas | True Meaning of Kuldevi & Kuldevtas

Kuldevi & Kuldevta means we belong to their Kul (dynasty) i.e., such divine souls were our ancestors… Hence:

  • Proving there was a time in history, when such 100% pure & divine deities lived on this planet… Hence, proving the existence of Satyuga
  • Even Kuldevi had children… Proving that in Satyuga, even childbirth was with 100% purity, i.e., through the power of thought!
  • Since every family has a different Kuldevi (hence, lots of Kuldevis in total), it indicates there was a whole population of divine souls in Satyuga… i.e., the entire population was 100% pure & divine!
  • Since our ancestors were so divine, even we have divinity (i.e., the complete experience of purity, peace, love & joy) hidden inside us… Hence, let’s remain in awareness of this divinity within, to emerge it’s experience once again!

Conclusion (Spiritual Significance of Kuldevi & Kuldevtas)

Hence today, let’s take inspiration from our elevated past, & emerge the divinity within once again… By just remaining in the awareness ‘I’m a Divine Soul, child of the Ocean of all Virtues & Powers’… This makes all aspects of life very easy & natural, also benefitting others around… Hence, making us instrumental in bringing the divine land of deities Satyuga once again!

Om Shanti!

Sheetla Mata denotes the virtue of sheetalta (coolness)… And is shown:

  • With a broom… Hence, only when we clean the mind from negativity, we can remain ever-cool! 
  • With a fan… Hence, a soul cool from within, automatically keeps sharing this coolness with all! 
  • With a pot 🍯 of healing water 💦… Hence, our sharing of coolness heals the hearts of all, freeing them from past hurts, pains, etc
  • Worshipped to cure diseases (like smallpox)… Hence, when we remain cool from within, those vibrations automatically protect & heal the body from numerous diseases! 
  • On a donkey, named Jwarasur (which literally means, The Demon of Fever)… Hence, keeping our mind cool, makes us victorious over diseases!

Conclusion (Spiritual Significance of Sheetla Mata) 

Hence today, let’s inculcate the virtue of coolness, by connecting to the ever-cool God! … And this coolness within automatically keeps benefitting our body, work & relations; making them elevated & easy to manage… Hence, life starts coming in our control, & this coolness also keeps benefitting everyone around… Hence, under God’s elevated guidance, we become instrumental in bringing the divine ever-cool land Satyuga once again!
