seeking.

Master.
- Karma.

that grace is in your life.

name.

your Master.

and taking one teaching.

ShantiMayi talks on:
-The love that fills the sky,
all of space and is always present.
-Love burns everything away.
-That what you are, is always
untouched.
-How not to react in
situations: just remain in the heart.
-You will have to come to a
space, where nothing can disturb you.
-Seeing God in everything.
-Grace working in your life.
The three kinds of grace.
It is grace that brings you
into that insightful moment, when you say: "Yes, now this is my
challenge", rather then: "I am beaten down again".
Grace is the one that always
turns the view to something very useful.
When your self-concern has
just drained out of you,
this is when grace is really
blooming like a rose.

ShantiMayi speaks on the
Lankavatara Sutra about

awakening:

“Rumi said: "Before I see
anything I see God". It is something to put in the pocket of your heart.
One has to see harmony in all things, before one can truly see. Even chaos
is a part of that harmony. And even ‘that’ which we think of as ego is a
part of that. That pure conscious awareness swallows up all these
identities completely.” ~ShantiMayi~

ShantiMayi speaks on:
-Being truly with a Master.
-How can a disciple be certain
that the Master is fully realized?
-Realizing grace in your life.
-How to find trust in God, when
you don't trust others.
-Everything in life is for you,
nothing is against you.
-What to do in difficult
situations, handling problems and pain.
Being with me doesn't mean
that you have to be at my feet all the time. With me means that you are
realizing your Self Nature and this is why you are here. Constantly
realizing that what you really wish to understand is your true nature and
that this is already there. That this doesn't have to be developed or
sought after, you can't attain it. To truly be with the Master means to
truly be with one's Self, one's own Master, one's inner Guru. One who is
developing... towards his Mastership, not just hanging around.
"I AM my own authority, I
AM my own Master and my Guru is always, always supporting it."

ShantiMayi, a spiritual teacher
born in America, attracts students from all over the world. ShantiMayi
travels ceaselessly, and she stays also with Her Master Maharajji in Sacha
Dham, India, where this interview takes place.
ShantiMayi brings us to an embrace of all Ways to God.
".....Some say (when
referring to realization) that there is nothing to be done. You can work
on it or not... However, as long as you are troubled or suffering a sense
of separation, you remain attached to your opinions and/or projections.
If you continue to harbor
resentment and/or expectation, if you compare yourself with others...
then... there is something you can do to bring the light of awareness into
cloudy uncertain areas of your life”
In this DVD ShantiMayi is
interviewed by Kali, and many issues are covered such as: gradual or
direct awakening, devotion, wisdom, Buddhism & Hinduism or why any "ism"?
The Cosmic Dance of Shiva
The three Lords of
existence:
Brahma the creator
Vishnu the maintainer
Shiva the destroyer
Playing time 1h07
Order code D06
The three visible and
invisible qualities, which seem to bring forth the appearance, the
illusion, we call life. Why do we say that life is an illusion?
Because it has the characteristic of being created, maintained and
destroyed in all of its aspects eternally. It is the Shiva quality
in us that begins to question: "Who am I, really? Is there something which
is eternal within me?" It is the Shiva in all of us, that delivers us (by
way of grace and unconditional love) into the silent and subtle
realization that we are in essence, what we are searching for.
Shiva is the destroyer, the
destroyer of ignorance.
Shakti, Shiva's consort, is
the dance of life, she is the emergence, the form and movement, she is
the energy, the illusion itself. Shiva and Shakti are eternally
intertwined, inseparable, in each of us, as the movement of experience and
the silent witness.
Vishnu is the maintainer of
life, he is the abode of prayer. It is Vishnu that gives *illusion the
feeling of *reality.
When the Gayatri Mantra is
uttered it rests between Vishnu and Shiva. "Ignite the fire of
realization", that all may know that our true nature is beyond the
illusion and within the experience at once.
ShantiMayi
* The Yogic
meaning of illusion is "impermanence".
* The Yogic
meaning of reality is "stable and unchanging".

Sitting under her tree, near the holy river Ganga, ShantiMayi speaks
about all the dimensions of the Master-disciple relationship, living
from the heart and the art of surrender.
This video contains also a beautiful Christmas celebration with
ShantiMayi’s Master Swami Hans Raj Maharajji. After this celebration
thousands of flowers are offered to the river Ganga for the blessings of
all.
“The story of ‘the bee and the
lotus’ tells how it is to be with a Master; some can see, some can not
see. But when you are willing and therefore able to see the beauty of
the lotus, then you drink the nectar, then you can feel the sweetness
inside of yourself.
This is the point, to
come inside of yourself, to realize yourself: this lotus, this nectar,
this golden heart”. ~ShantiMayi~

Finding an Enlightened Master
is a miracle. This miracle becomes even greater when that Master
ShantiMayi lives with her own Guru, Swami Hans Raj Maharajji, in Rishikesh
India. Experiencing her deep love for him and for us is a great blessing.
But as Maharajji on his turn starts speaking and singing about his own
master Sacha Baba, it is like two mirrors reflecting each other: eternity
is reflected.
This video shows all the
dimensions of the mystery of the Master - disciple relation. What are the
signs of a True Master, who is your Guru and who is not? It also
enlightens the art of surrender.
"People worry: Oh, I don't
want to surrender to the Guru, this is a very frightening thing! But it
turns the whole world into the Guru, making surrender your greatest
friend. It gives you deep relaxation and an absolute utter clarity about
life. Then, you don't mind surrendering. It is what I do not want in the
first place that I surrender away: my arrogance, my conditioned
identities, my pain and sorrow. The Guru is only asking you to surrender
your baggage”. (ShantiMayi)
The River Ganga Sutra
ShantiMayi speaks
about the blessings of the holy river Ganga (Ganges)
for this planet and
especially in her own life.

This video shows the Ganga in
different moods as well as the people living with Her.
“Ganga has a very special
place on the earth.
She has been worshipped for
hundreds of thousands of years.
Anything that gets this kind
of attention maintains a holiness.
She looks like a river, but
she is not. She is a Goddess.
I give prayers to Ganga
requesting that she supports
everything that I do (for
the whole planet).
And she says every time:
"yes, yes, yes, yes”.
So what does it mean to
worship a river or the sun or the moon? Well it just means that you are
closer and closer to God, inside yourself. Because everything is God
anyhow”.

"It's a very special time
on our planet.
Many people feel that
something is occurring in the world...a change a big change. We are
standing at the edge of a cliff and either we are going to fly or we will
just fall off.
A transformation of
consciousness is necessary and is occurring.
The foundation of this
transformation of consciousness is the Gayatri Mantra.
We know this time to be
difficult and dark and yet it is a time of awakening on earth, a grand
opportunity to touch ourselves in a way like we have never touched
ourselves before as a true and beneficial humanity, as a real global
family.
It is a time of renaissance,
another "golden age" is emerging". ~ShantiMayi~

Those graceful blessings
never, never cease to flow.
