The Hindu gods and goddesses do not represent the worship of
false idols, as is sometimes thought. The Hindu knows that God is present in
everything, but His (or Her or Its) vastness is usually too much for the
limited mind to comprehend. Therefore, why not pick a particular attribute of
God and focus on that?
Of the months, the most auspicious is Margali, the period from the fifteenth of December until the
fifteenth of January. To the gods this is brahmamuhoorta,
the hours just before dawn which are most favorable for meditation. So Margali is a very special, holy time;
all during that month the devas are
in meditation.
When a particular mantram
is repeated, you develop that vibration within you. That vibration attracts a
form of the Divine Aspect and, indirectly, the form is created within your mind
to suit the quality which you expect. When that quality becomes more and more
impressed upon your mind, you begin to perceive it outside as well.
“When Hindus go to meet a sage, a swami or a saintly person
they bring a lime. It symbolizes an offering and, at the same time, has a
beneficial medicinal effect on the system. When you sit for along time in
meditation a great deal of heat is produced. Bile secretion develops. The lime
juice cools the system and serves as a remedy.”
….I also recommend strict celibacy to strengthen the immune
system. (Again something Gurudev told me.)……….
