The New Age

_

WELCOME
the
..NEW AGE !

_
Can we ever imagine the end of the world
When the New Age has just begun?
Even though all trappings will disappear,
With the Essence the world will run!
_
The calender of Maya will come to an end
The calender of Brahman to begin,
Many New Age teachers have come to tell
The past is gone, the
PRESENT is in.
_
The Age reflecting Brahman, Age of Truth,
Satya Yuga, the first of the four,
Lights up the horizon as the old yuga ends.
New seers have opened the door!

UNITED COMMUNITIES
of the
SPIRIT
_
*
For us,
_
the ancient Sanskrit blessing
_
Namaste!
_
is a perfect expression.
_
*
It translates as:

I honour the place in you
in which the entire universe dwells.
_
I honour the place in you
which is
_
of Love
of Truth
of Light
and
of Peace
_
When
you
are in that place in you

and
I
am in that place in me,
_
We are One.

Awakening the Heart . . .

_
_
. . . to. . .
transform

the
.BRAIN !

_
The coming of change that raises
Human heart to its exalted place,
Was foretold for long and awaited
By prophets across time and space.
_
The time has come and it is now !
For final changes to be wrought,
That the heart can free the brain
From nemesis it itself has brought.
_
Civilization's future is precarious
Man's ego brain has led it amok.
Unless he is tempered by humility,
Man will face self created chaos.
_
Material control of life by the brain
Will smother all life that will spring.
For life, shorn of
God's Holy Spirit,
Is, for organisms, death while living.
_
The human brain did have its time:
It was only for survival of the fittest.
Now we need a total transformation.
Tell your heart," You are the bi
ggest."
_
If the brain bows at Heart's feet,
Takes Heart as its ultimate
Guru,
Love will shower, on parched earth,
Ambrosia, born of harmony, true.
_
We have to remain true to Nature,
For Nature remains true to its Lord:
Nature brings man
God's harmony,
And so helps him move towards
God.

Practical Spirituality

_
_
A
SPIRITUAL PRACTICE
for
Everyman
_
Inspired by ancient and modern
Teachers of spirituality of the East,
Finding by practical confirmation,
That man's spiritual needs it meets,
_
This Spiritual teacher of the West,
For all seekers to share its wisdom,
Has unloaded its spiritual treasures
To walk on the high road to freedom.
_
As the end of this era approaches
And the beckoning New Era begins,
We need some guide if not a savior
To tell "Eternal Truth Always Wins"!
_
In a language popular in East and West,
With sincerity born of highest authority,
He writes and speaks for all to understand
Hidden practical secrets of spirituality.
_
Complain not that "He stole our religion",
For he has shown all religions can work,
If new teachings born of inner experience
Bring to light truths all traditions shirk.
_
Go nowhere in your search for knowledge.
" You can find it HERE and NOW", he says.
Beyond the active mind that bears the ego
The secret of wisdom of all the ages stays.
_
When man realizes this, and acts on it,
Peace must descend wherever wars exist.
The dawn of the New Age will soon appear,
And Evolution of all mankind will subsist.

India's Spiritual Secrets

_
_
_
BEYOND
THE MIND

Beyond the mind a secret lies,
A secret that is of Yoga,
Not reached by talk or by thought
Or when gripped by Moha.
_
The definition Patanjali gives,
"chitta vritti nirodha",
Emphasises that Mind alone
Is the block to Yoga.
_
On activity that is exhibited,
On desires that hide,
On what is of Past and Future,
The present cannot ride.
_
The present bears the Presence
Of which, the mind, can tire.
All mental activity It must kill,
To reveal the Eternal Fire.
_
Tarry not, Seekers of Truth !
Reach beyond the mind !
Knowledge of Truth is not had
In what the mind can find.
In_
It is beyond Space and Time,
Beyond Eternity too,
Surpass the mind to reach It
For, It is in You!

Tajuddin Baba

TAJUDDIN BABA,
Crown of the Prophet
_
_
No one could understand him.
_
No one had any idea who he really was!
_
No one knew that
Taj was the Crown!
_
Several British ladies were chatting,
drinking their Friday afternoon tea at the country club
when suddenly they saw a naked Indian man
walking across the tennis courts.
_
Outraged by this shocking spectacle
and thinking the fellow must be insane,
they summoned the police, who arrested him,
then had him sentenced to be locked up in a lunatic asylum.

This "lunatic," however,
was wonderfully strange and different.
A crowd would gather outside the walls of the asylum
awaiting his blessing!
_
A separate entranceway was erected to the asylum
just so people could see this lunatic!
_
Why?
_
Was he really mad
or were the people who committed him mad?
Why would people seek the blessing
of this particular madman?
_
It was the wine
it was the wine he alone had!

Although the British considered this Mohammedan mad,
they must have been the maniacs,
for they did not recognize him.
_
He was an owner of a spiritual wineshop.
He was the Taj of India
the Crown of Islam!
He was Tajuddin Baba, a Qutub
– a pivot of the universe –
an axis of cosmic forces.
_
This Perfect Master opened his wineshop
in a mental asylum and the people who flocked to him
became intoxicated and divinely mad.
_
If this Mohammedan was not mad,
why would such a man have had himself
locked up in a madhouse?
_
Ordinary people cannot fathom this mystery.
Had he not come for the mad themselves?
For those lost in the madness of this world?
This Qutub's sixteen years in that asylum
were a phase of his inner work.

" I Await You, Here and Now ! "

_
_
HERE.
I AM !

_
Within, without, but beyond the brain,
Formless, shapeless, with you I remain,
You can feel me. Here I am!
_
Beyond Time and Space but in the heart,
Beyond universes but in your every part,
You can feel me. Here I am!
_
Not revealed to your cunning thought,
Not caught in your cold logic brought,
You can feel me. Here I am!
_
When your eyes are both made whole,
Bringing out the feeling of your soul,
You can feel me. Here I am!
_
True feeling will make it all too sure,
That we two are always together here,
Soul! Feel Me! Here I am!

The music the divine soul sings
Comes as song from the heart,
That speaks in so many tongues,
For scripture to play its part !
_
Music makes sound very sweet,
As currency for holy thought,
Soothing well all hurt feelings,
Enabling Peace to be bought.
_
Giving language universal power,
To be of use to one and all,
Music brings all hearts together,
Breaking every dividing wall !
_
With varied melody and harmony,
With lilting meter and rhyme,
With suggestive intonation
Characteristic of race and clime,
_
Making every song a prayer,
Calling for the Spirit's Grace,
Man's heart leaps to Heaven,
Bringing Rapture to earth's space.
_
Crossing every language barrier,
Uniting hearts with one emotion,
Bring together hearers and singers,
With the magic of its love potion,
_
To cleanse all hearts with fondness,
Music stirs song to a potent potion:
And fills all the worlds with peace,
Turning hate into loving relation !

Sri Vinod Agarwal Ji

Born on 6th June, 1955
in the Northern Indian city of Delhi,
Vinodji developed an inclination
and an amazing acumen
for the bhajans and kirtans
at a very early age.

_
At the age of 7, in 1962 he migrated to Mumbai
with his family.

_
As a child
Vinodji was quite inclined towards religious epics.

_
Like the parents of many other great saints
Vinodji's parents were adorned with the hearts
that were blessed with purity, nobility
and great reverence to teachers and saints.
_
Being firm believers of Lord Krishna and Raadhaaji,
his parents encouraged bhajans and kirtans
and invited saints and gurus at home.
_
Gradually by the age of 12
Vinodji started singing
and
learnt harmonium instinctively.

_
His wife has been his backbone
with unconditional support

and seldom accompanies him
in his programmes.

_
His father encouraged him during childhood
and up to the age of 18

to visit voluntarily people and get them involved
in kirtans amidst criticism.

_
Non stop radha madhav kirtan,
janmashtami, shivratri etc.

gave him stamina
to conduct uninterrupted long

sankirtan programmes
.
