Essence of the Story of Holika

Image
  ESSENCE OF THE STORY OF HOLIKA There is a famous story associated with the 'Holi' festival: A demonic king, Hiranyakashyap, wanted everyone to worship him. But his son Prahalad was a devotee of Lord Narayana, the king's sworn enemy. Angry, the king wanted Holika, his sister to get rid of Prahalad. Empowered to withstand fire; Holika sat on a burning pyre holding Prahalad on her lap. But it was Holika who was burnt, Prahalad came out unharmed. Hiranyakashyap symbolizes one who is gross. Prahalad embodies innocence, faith and bliss/joy. The spirit cannot be confined to love material only. Hiranyakashyap wanted all the joy to come from the material world. It did not happen that way. The individual jivatma cannot be bound to the material forever. It’s natural to eventually move towards Narayana, one's higher self. Holika stands for the past burdens that try to burn Prahalad's innocence. But Prahlad, so deeply rooted in Narayana Bhakthi could burn all past impressions

"A time will come when science will make tremendous advances, not because of better instruments for discovering things, but because a few people will have at their command great spiritual powers, which at the present are seldom used. Within a few centuries, the art of spiritual healing will be increasingly developed and universally used." Astronomer, Man, Mind, and the Universe  -Gustaf Stromberg, Mt. Wilson Healing is an energy treatment, “no-touch” healing system based on the fundamental principle that the body has the innate ability to heal itself. Energy Healing utilizes “life force,” “energy,” or "prana" to accelerate the body’s inborn ability to heal itself.  'Prana ' is the Sanskrit word for life force. It is called ‘chi’ in China and ‘ki’ in Japan. Thousands of so-called miraculous healing stories have been documented with the use of  Energy Healing, including the full spectrum of physical and psychological conditions: headaches, flu, fever, ulcers,

How to practice affirmations?

  To practise an affirmation:  First, sit calmly with spine held straight. Still the restlessness in the conscious mind; shut out all devastating negative thoughts. Quite the fanciful subconscious mind. Invoke the all powerful super consciousness by meditating deeply.  Then make your affirmation firmly; aloud or in whispers, or mentally. Repeat it over and over. Whether uttered aloud, whispered, or mentally expressed, each repetition of the affirmation should be impregnated with ever – increasing devotion and concentration. One’s Foremost Affirmation should be for realization of oneness with God; and thereafter, for wisdom and bliss, then for harmony, then health, and then for true happiness and success for all mankind. The moment the phrase reaches the super consciousness and the inner and intuitive conviction of the soul, volley of cosmic energy will shoot down through the spine and into the body. The vibration of that current will heal the body, mind and soul – electrocuting physica

Affirmations are superior to the customary form of prayer.  Affirmations are statement of all -powerful truth. By means of affirmations, he can apply universal laws of creative vibration to acquire anything he seeks. Words are vibrations of thought. Thoughts, in turn, are vibrations of power and energy. Thought is the force that powers the complex cellular mechanism of the body, as well as the machinery of human destiny and the entire cosmos. Thoughts are responsible for all the Chemical, nervous, and metabolic functions and psychological reactions of the body. But even strong words or commands, such as “wake up!” are ineffective if uttered feebly, without vigorous force. In an affirmation one should say the words with force of conviction and also seek to feel deeply the meaning of the thought behind them. The thought then will go deeply into the conscious mind, then into the subconscious and finally into the super consciousness. When it registers in the super consciousness, it moves t
