Sites of interest

Babaji with pink roses by Karen C.

Had a few sites found lately of interest, one rated contemporary Guru's, and one not so contemporary) i found it useful and concurred concerning most I knew, but disagree about Catherine Ingram, altho I sat with her once only, I was not impressed with her.

ignorance in brahman?
there is one brahman, brahman is oneness, it is consciousness itself. consciousness does not have the capacity for ignorance. nor does it have the capacity for knowledge. consciousness does not have the capacity of differntiating between right/wrong, knowledge/ignorance, truth/false. consciouness only watches, only observes, utterly unaffected.

brahman is not a freaking circle. ignorance is not outside nor does it cover that circle. ignorance is only within the maya of brahman. maya and brahman are one anyways. ignorance, knowledge, all dualities are no longer dualities in brahman. there is only oneness. there is no from, neither is there formlessness. there is no knowledge, niether is there ignorance. there is only brahman. in the maya, all these work out. there is ignorance in maya since there is duality in maya. there is niether ignorance nor knowledege in brahman b/c there is non-duality in brahman. there is just brahman, no opposites.

brahman does not produce imperfection. the world, first of all, isnt imperfect. evil and good, dualities, create a type of perfection. just b/c there is suffering doesnt mean there is no perfection. jeez. just b/c u suffer doesnt mean the world is imperfect. maya is perfect, this creation is perfect, people are perfect, no matter what happens, no matter how they act. everything is perfect as it is. n00b. brahman does not produce, stupid professor, brahman just watches. maya produces, maya has evil in it, no one wants to say that, why fucking not?? its called expanded perspective. obviously maya has parts. maya has parts - good/evil, dualities, but it as a whole, a total, is one. maya comes from brahman. maya is brahman. maya is non-differnt from brahman. maya is a superimposition. nothign more. maya is like wetness of water. hahaa. go sri ramakrishna!

people like him are idiots. arguing against advaita, using dvaitic arguments against shankara.

"all vedantins have an achilles heel" - achilles heel - the boy was shot in the heel b/c it wasnt covered by the water of immortality when his mom dipped him in, so he died, even though he was immortal. "every assertion, fact, has an acchilles heel" - no it does. advaita does not have an acchilles heel, come talk to me, i will shoot u down. weakness?!? advaita does not have a weakness. there is fear, insecurity, doubt etc in anything dvaita. advaita transcends all this.

Shruti smriti purananamalayam karunalayam|
Namami Bhagavatpada sankaram lokasankaram||
I salute the compassionate abode of the Vedas, Smritis and Puranas known as Shankara Bhagavatpada (at the feet of the lord), who makes the world auspicious.

go adi shankara, u are the man of men, u are the original awesome advaitin cuz u rock.

my hindu phil teacher is a n00b. not a newbie - b/c that means its tolerable. n00b.

where i got my creative outpouring from

"The significance of Mother worship to a real sadhaka (spiritual aspirant) is to feel that he and his universe are nothing but media for the manifestation of one all-pervading Power - the Power of God (Maya), the Power that is one with God. Not merely to understand intellectually, but to realize in each and every one of his cells that he lives and moves and has his being in the divine Power that is both immanent and transcendent. All spiritual endeavors of a true devotee of Shakti aim at the realization that his self, including his body, mind and spirit, is an instrument through which the great Mother produces the song of life - a song infinitely varies in tunes and melodies."

-Great Women Of India, pp. 79-80.
-Quoted in the book Kali, The Black Goddess of Dakshineswar

a creative outpouring

ya... i remember reading that this was a site for a creative outpouring. i realized that i randomly had one of those on dailyom, so im just gnna cut and paste it here.

the point of shakti worship, is to realize that maya is all and that maya does everything and that the worshipper is nothing but maya's play, maya itself, everything is maya, the worshipper is part of maya, does not have a will of his own; and this is TRUE! but then the vedantin would say, why try for that? why not realize that our true self-nature is brahman itself!! and then the shakti worshipper would say, oh man, where is the bhakti in your life? i love Ma... my divine mother is maya itself. i have realized what u have realized but i have added the wine of divine love in my life and now i reel about intoxicated! you just remain in the dry bliss of knowledge.

i'll add where i got it from later.. kali's book is in my dorm room, and im at home right now.
