Vishwa Vandita Nirmala Mata - Bhajan

 

Meaning and Interpretation of the Bhajan “Vishwa Vandita” 🌹

14 October 1992

In this divine discourse, Shri Mataji explained the meaning of the bhajan “Vishwa Vandita” in English. The following is a professionally refined English translation of the Hindi text.

This song was composed by a very famous music director, Shri Ravindra Jain, who directed the music for the television serial Ramayan, based on the great Indian epic. He was visually impaired. I do not know how it happened, but he met Me only three times, and then he composed this song. He says that among the many names of the Divine Mother, Adi Shakti, the first name is Vishwa Vandita, even though it is not included among Her thousand names.

The word Vishwa means “the universe,” and Vandita means “worshipped.” Thus, Vishwa Vandita means “the One who is worshipped by the entire universe.” I wholeheartedly agree with this name because it is a fact.

Sarva Pujita means that everyone worships Her. Sarva means “everyone,” and Pujita means “worshipped.”

Brahma Swaroopini means that She is the embodiment of the all-pervading Brahma Chaitanya, the Divine Consciousness.

Now, this is a new name. Yoga Niroopini is not included among the thousand names. It means that She explains, reveals, and demonstrates the nature of Yoga.

This, too, is a new name that does not appear among the thousand names.

“Shubhadam Varadam Namo Namah” means that She is the One who bestows auspiciousness and grants blessings. Varada means “the giver of boons or blessings.”

You know the meaning of Namo Namah: it means “I bow to Her in reverence and worship.”

Jagat Janani Nirmala means that She is the Mother of the entire universe.

Moola Prakriti Akhileshwar Ki means that She is the primordial nature, or original creative power, of Akhileshwar, the Almighty God.

Parashakti Parameshwari means that She is Para—the Supreme Power, transcending even the power of the Almighty God.

Vishwadharini Mangalakarini means that She sustains the entire universe and brings auspiciousness and well-being to all.

Once again, “Shubhadam Varadam Namo Namah” means that She bestows auspiciousness and blessings. All right.

Now, Sahaja Yogini Nirmala means that She Herself is a Sahaja Yogini. She attained Yoga through the Sahaja method, that is, spontaneously and instantaneously. She is the Sahaja Yogini.

Nirashraya Sarveshwari means that She is independent of any support or dependence. Yet, She is the Goddess of all that exists—the Supreme Sovereign of everything.

Premamoorti Bhakta Vatsala means that She is the embodiment of love and has profound affection for Her devotees and followers.

Premamayi Mateshwari means that She is filled with love and is the Divine Mother of all mothers. Mateshwari signifies the Goddess or Supreme Mother of all mothers.

Bhakti Pradayini Mukti Pradayini means that She bestows devotion and grants liberation. Bhakti Pradayini means the One who gives devotion, while Mukti Pradayini means the One who grants spiritual liberation.

Once again, “Shubhadam Varadam Namo Namah” conveys the same meaning: She is the bestower of auspiciousness and blessings, and we bow to Her with reverence.

Now, Pragat Saguna Nirguna means that She, who is formless and beyond attributes, has manifested in a perceptible form. Nirguna refers to the formless, attributeless aspect of the Divine.

Riddhi Siddhi Ki Dhatri means that She is the bestower of Siddhis and Riddhis.

Siddhis are spiritual powers through which one can give Self-Realisation to others, help heal people, and manifest the full potential of divinity.

Riddhi, on the other hand, refers to the attainment of contentment, peace, joy, and spiritual prosperity. It signifies progress and growth in these qualities.

Saumya Sarala Mahamana means that She has an exceptionally gentle, simple, innocent, and noble personality. Mahamana means that She possesses the greatest and most exalted mind.

Patanjali Gunapatri means that She possesses all the qualities described by Patanjali.

Ghat-Ghat Vasini literally refers to one who dwells in every vessel. However, in this context, Ghat refers to the human heart. Thus, the expression means that She resides in the heart of every person.

Atma Vikasini means that She expands, develops, and elevates the Spirit within us.

Once again, “Shubhadam Varadam Namo Namah” conveys the same message: She is the One who bestows auspiciousness and blessings. We bow to Her in deep reverence.

Mother Mahakali imparted Knowledge to Shankaracharya

 

This episode between Adi Shankaracharya and Bhagwati Adyashakti (Mother Kali) is one of the most authentic and supernatural tales of the union of Advaita philosophy and the principle of Shakti. This story took place on the sacred land of Kashi (Varanasi).❤️

❤️Adi Shankaracharya established 'Advaita Vedanta' in India. His clear view was—"Brahma Satyam Jaganmithya Jivo Brahmaiva Naparah" (Only the formless Brahman is true, this visible world is illusory, and the individual soul is not separate from Brahman). Shankaracharya was at the highest peak of the path of knowledge. He believed that all forms, shapes, and divine plays of the world were merely the play of Maya.

However, he was so deeply absorbed in the worship of the attributeless, formless Brahman that he regarded the importance of the manifest form, appearance, and Shakti (Durga/Kali) as secondary to Brahman or merely an effect of Maya. He felt that knowledge alone was complete and that taking refuge in devotion or Shakti was only for beginning seekers.

The Incident in Kashi: Shankaracharya Without Shakti

Once Shankaracharya arrived in Kashi with his disciples. There he was preaching the Advaita doctrine. One day he became extremely ill (according to some texts, he had a severe fever, while according to others, he had become extremely weak due to continuous arduous spiritual practice and travel).

His body had become so weak that he sat down on the steps of the Ganges and was unable to take even a single step. His disciples had gone some distance away at that time to fetch water and medicine.

Just then, an elderly woman passed by. She had a vessel of water in her hand. Shankaracharya said to her in an extremely feeble voice, "O Mother! Could you give me a little water? I do not have the strength to get up and go to the water."

The elderly woman (who was actually Mother Kali/Bhagwati herself) stopped there and said with a smile, "O ascetic! You are yourself a great knower. If you need water, then get up and take it yourself."

Shankaracharya said plaintively, "Mother, you can see that I do not have the 'power' to get up. Without Shakti, I cannot even move."

A supernatural smile appeared on the elderly woman's face. She said, "O learned ascetic! Just think— you say that Brahman alone is everything and that Maya or Shakti is nothing. Then why are you unable to move even a finger today without 'Shakti'? If Brahman is everything, then why are your knowledge and your body lying lifeless without Shakti?"

There was not merely ordinary speech in the woman's words, but the echo of a cosmic truth. Shankaracharya's eyes opened. He understood that this was no ordinary woman.

At that very moment, the elderly woman revealed herself in her true supernatural form. In one hand she held a skull bowl, in the other the gesture of blessing, and her face radiated infinite compassion—she was Mahakali herself.

Mother Kali imparted knowledge to Shankaracharya:

Shiva and Shakti are one: Just as the heat of fire cannot be separated from fire, in the same way the manifestation of the attributeless Brahman (Shiva), that is, its active energy (Shakti/Kali), cannot be separated from it.

The distinction between Shava and Shiva: As long as consciousness is still, it is Shiva. When that consciousness becomes dynamic and creates, sustains, and dissolves the universe, that same consciousness is called 'Shakti'. Without Shakti, Shiva too is like 'Shava' (inert).

Soundarya Lahari and the Acceptance of Shakti

This encounter with Mother Kali ended the remnants of Shankaracharya's intellectual ego and the misconception that Shakti was merely an illusory Maya. He bowed his head at Mother Kali's feet and asked her forgiveness. At merely the touch of the Mother, his body became energetic again.

It was only after this divine event that Adi Shankaracharya came to regard not only the path of knowledge, but also devotion and the practice of Shakti, as part of Advaita itself. He composed great works on Shakti such as the famous 'Soundarya Lahari' and 'Kanakadhara Stotra'.

The very first verse of Soundarya Lahari bears witness to this event:

 शिवः शक्त्या युक्तो यदि भवति शक्तः प्रभवितुं।

न चेदेवं देवो न खलु कुशलः स्पन्दितुमपि॥

Meaning: Supreme Shiva is capable of creating the universe or performing any action only when united with Shakti (Mother Kali/Parvati). If he is without Shakti, he cannot even make a single vibration (move).❤️🙏❤️🙏

Growing in Sahaja Yoga through self realisation and Meditation

 

Growing in Sahaja Yoga through self-realization and meditation

Dear All, Jai Shri Mataji

From time to time excerpts of Shri Matajis Talks are being sent to you, though I have been out of circulation for the past two months or so. I term these as teaching points of the Divine Mother because they are very significant for our spiritual growth in Sahaja Yoga and because they are from the Divine Mother Herself we have to imbibe them through meditation. Hence we should not only read them but also include them in our meditation and experience the results. It is in this context that when I was ill with the Tantric attack in 1997 and Shri Mataji called me to Delhi and taught me how to establish "Shri Ganesha Tatwa" by cleansing the Mooladhar and seeking the qualities of Lord Ganesha given on the four petals of Mooladhar. This is how I learnt that when we can express our pure desire to the Divine Mother and seek qualities of a particular Diety/Chakra those qualities are established, by the Grace of the Divine Mother, over a period of time. However there is a certain intensity of Tapasya involved and those who wish to grow, will have to give time for deeper meditation and ask for the qualities they are seeking.

Do Read and imbibe the instructions given in the excerpt shown below.

Love and respects

EXCERPT

Why Don’t we grow in Sahaja Yoga

When people get Realization, they do not understand that they have to now grow. And why they don’t grow? Because they do not ask for these energies. A person who is a Realized soul, if he says that, “I have to have more compassion. My compassion is not all right. My concern about others is not all right. My generosity is not all right. I’m exploiting others. I’m exploiting their love.” Then this energy starts moving, giving you that greater dimension of love and compassion. But, if you do not want to be growing in your awareness, then She says, “All right, he is a half-baked Sahaja yogi, let it be.” She doesn’t supply that energy which is stored within you. I told you, three into seven, that is twenty-one, raised to power 108 (the energy that we have within).

So what a storage you have within yourself.

But because of your mundane style of thinking and asking — in the beginning, when I started Sahaja Yoga people used to ask for, say, jobs or for, ‘My mother is sick’ or a father is sick or they would ask for money or something like that. So these wants are not pure wants. As we know in economics, they are not pure wants. They’re impure wants, because they are never satiable in general.

So this Kundalini that is your Mother, She is there to supply you, nourish you, to look after you, to make you grow by giving you a higher personality. Higher personality, wider personality, deeper personality. Now, we think if somebody is well read, then we think he is a higher personality. Sometimes a person who is rich, we think he is a higher personality. Sometimes we think a person who is very hard working is a higher personality. Sometimes we think a person who is, I mean, some sort of a confusion about religion or something, we think he is a higher personality. Our ideas about higher personality itself are wrong. People are higher because they are spiritually evolved – otherwise, they are not..... Nobody respects them.

The Effect of Vibrated Water on the Growh of the Plants

 

Prof. Dr. Felix KREISSLER from the university of Hannover/Germany and Prof. Kurt ZUCKRIEGEL from the University of Agriculture in Vienna/Austria, have reported on the contamination of barely-fields between Hannover and Vienna. Every year the farmers have to use tons and tons of manure to fertilize the farms, in order to keep the increase of the harvest at about 5%. The most successful increase in Vienna is about 5-7%.

A large number of scientists are reporting in alarming statements about  the dying forests in Europe. USA and Canada. Most  of the scientists have given up further research in this matter, because they cannot understand it. We have difficulty to understand a living process. A great portion of our knowledge is based on dead matter. We are able to produce daily thousands of cars, but no one can create on small living cell;

We all know how the ozone-layer in the atmosphere is dissolving and what danger that is to humanity, but our politicians are busy with themselves and have no time for all of us.

We scientists should not be egotistical about our technical achievements – what we praise as a great success today can turn into a great danger for humanity tomorrow – see our arsenals of atomic bombs, chemical weapons and so on.

In contrast the philosophy of SAHAJA YOGA offers a cheap, simple and easy solution for all these problems. The teachings of SHRI MATAJI NIRMALA DEVI make it possible not only to understand the living process and deal with them but also to solve many problems of the developing countires.

VIBRATIONS are a living thing as Shri Majaji Nirmala Devi explains, “they think and act”. The action of vibrations can be compared to the action of a magnetic field on iron. Just as iron atoms react to a magnetic field, in the same way earth. Water, flora and fauna- including human beings – react to the vibrations that flow from Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. It has been scientifically proved and accepted that this vibrations radiate from Shri Majaji Nirmala Devi herself as well as from her photograph.

As you know the connecting angle of the water molecule is 105 degrees and 28 minutes between the Oxygen and the Hydrgen. This angle is very stable and does not change under the influence of physical experiments of pressure, temperature and the like. The capacity of this angle is to dissolve various chemicals in the water. As vibrations are a living thing, our understanding is that through the action of vibrations on water-molecules this connecting angle gets changed to improve the dissolving capacity of water, positively and negatively for chemical substances.

Everyone that practices SAHAJA YOGA can experience that as the vibrations flow through his body the body-temperature cools down. If vibrations have the same effect on water then also water should cool down when vibrations are applied. That means that cool water as it is well known, has more capacity to dissolve an oxygen than warm water. This extra oxygen at the roots of plants enables better plant-growth.

Every atom spins at a certain speed and within a certain distance from each other. Therefore also every atom in water spins at a certain speed and within a  certain distance from each other.

Our interpretation of the action of vibrations on water is that vibrations.

1. Change the speed of the spin of the atoms and
2. Bring the atoms nearer to each other.

That means that the connecting angle within the water-molecule remains unchanged, bu. a strong, negative field is created through the nearing of oxygen to hydrogen, which in turn gives water the capacity to dissolve (normally undissolvable) elements such as NH4 and other nitrogen containing elements. This is the reason why vibrations give to plants such a nice green color. As we know from many experiments, it is the nitrogen that gives to plants the dark-green color the more it is applied.

For the scientifically hard-minded researcher our interpretation would certainly need further verification. However for us the most important-thing is that this vibrations really exist and how they act is shown in the attached graphics. We leave the research of what actually changes in the water through vibrations to other scientists. For us it is important to research, how we can use this tremendous potential to solve many of our current problems’ not only in agriculture, but throughout the flora and fauna of our planet.
