Shree MahaLakshmi-Prapatti and Venus in 12th House

12th Bhava is the Bhava of Moksha. 

I have forgotten very interesting advice through the years - always to evaluate Grahas, taking Moon as the 1st Bhava (that is counting from Moon, not Lagna). 

And using this technique in my Navamsha, I have found with much awe, that Venus (The Graha of Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi) is in 12th Bhava in my Navamsha, that is Shreemati MahaLakshmi-Devi is The Ishwari leading me to Moksha.  

That makes pretty obvious why I have resorted to "Shree Lakshmi-Tantra" and Shree MahaLakshmi-Prapatti.

Пока не забыла - небольшое Джйотиш-наблюдение. Если мою Навамшу анализировать от Луны (т.е. приняв Луну за Дом 1), то Венера будет в Доме 12. 

Дом 12 - это Дом Мокши, т.е. очевидно, что при таком раскладе это вновь указание на то, что меня к Мокше ведёт именно Шримати МахаЛакшми-Деви (Венера - это Граха МахаЛакшмёныша). 

Murtis' embellishment for winter 2015

I have renovated my Murtis's embellishment for this winter. The idea was borne once I saw the shawl in white-and-dark-red. 

Then out of the blue the mini-Murti of Shree Jagannatha had been obtained by me (just see how beautiful this mini-Murti looks in contrast with my usual Murtis). 

This year I also obtained white Conch (Shree Krishna has been asking for the Conch very much) as well as Shree Tulasi KanthiMala (not on the photo unfortunately, but now Shree Tulasi KanthiMala is lying in the Embrace of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu near the White Conch). 

Actually Shree Tulasi KanthiMala had been obtained for me personally, but Krishna has "taken away" from me 2 Shree Tulasi KanthiMalas this year (Krishna likes to sleep, coiling and wrapping in Shree Tulasi beads).  

This year I have also purchased very interesting pearl Shree Tulasi KanthiMala (Shree Tulasi, pearl and silver), wearing It all the time now! 

Мои Муртёныши!

Да, девчонки, полностью новое оформление моих Муртёнышей на эту зиму. 

Концепт был рожден, когда я увидела бордово-белую шаль в магазине. 

Мини-Мурти Шри Джаганнатха идеально вписались в дизайн (все это совпало с тем, что я в этом году изучила ту часть "Шри Брахма-Пураны" и "Шри Сканда-Пураны", которая рассказывает именно о Шри Джаганнатхе). 

Я также купила несколько Шри Туласи-КантхиМал в ноябре. 

Моя персональная гордость - Шри Туласи-КантхиМала в серебре и жемчуге, уникальное сочетание, очень, очень женственное и девчачье, именно в Настроении Шримати Радхики-Деви (в тех Шри Кришна-Тантрах, которым мы следуем, Шримати Радхарани-Деви и Золотого Цвета, и Лунного - как "цветок Чампака"). 

Кришна тут же отнял у меня сразу 2 Шри Туласи-КантхиМалы. В одну Шри Туласи КантхиМалу я укутала Его Деревянное Мурти.

Другая Шри Туласи-КантхиМала тоже мгновенно стала моей Любимицей - дизайн с медными цветочками на каждой бусине, но Кришна жутко просил Её для Своего Айшварья-Мурти (лежащий Бхагаван Шри Нараяна, но я доложила Её позже и на фото Её нет, к сожалению). 

Ракушка для купания (Кришну просто так не помоешь, Он обожает мыться только из Ракушки) изначально была куплена просто для общего дизайна, но теперь я мою из неё МахаЛакшмёныша и Кришну. 

Больные дживы

Да, девчонки действительно очень хорошая тика про больных джив в сансаре и их "голод по плоти". 

То им мясо подавай, то сиси с писями - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.com/2015/11/modification-of-flesh-and-fat-brilliant.html

Если вдуматься, то дживы в сансаре действительно просто одержимы плотью в различных

SHE Herself removes the veil.............

The excerpt from V.V. Kaskhedikar article, very inspiring for Shakti-Sadhana. By the way, the same idea is in Shaiva-Siddhanta - only constant Shiva-Bhakti-Sadhana can destroy 3 malas (anava, karma, mala). 

"The Divine Mother is The Absolute Reality Who appears as all. 

She has deluded the world. 

But when propitiated SHE Herself removes the veil. Hence says Rishi, surrender to Her for She is your real nature. 

By ignorance you are attached to your kith and kin. 

Divine Mother is your own Real nature. She is all pervading Reality. 

Your ignorance is also Her Divine play. She is the cause of bondage and also of liberation. 

In other words, She Herself is manifesting as the contradictions of life. 

Hence Realise Her".

Divya-Prasada and The Symbology of Alwars

Excerpt from "Sathakopa's Conception of Bhakti" 

by Dr K.C. Aravinda RajaGopal

The AcharyaHridayakara explains certain points regarding the psychology of Bhakti in Sathakopa. 

Firstly, the Alwar lays great emphasis on the point that mind abandons the individual and clings to God from the first moment of the dawn of Divine Grace. 

This is the Divine sankalpa whose dawn is heralded by the stirrings of the heart towards God-devotion. 

Secondly, Bhakti has 3 prajna-avasthas. Prajna means

Sundara Purusha

I liked very much the following excerpt from "Sathakopa's Conception of Bhakti" by Dr K.C. Aravinda RajaGopal. 

Dr K.C. Aravinda RajaGopal writes about Alwars and Their Bhakti Rasas. 

Shreemati Andal-Devi revealed to us not only Shringara-Bhakti, but

Multiverse

"Infinite crores of macrocosms shine forth on the palm of Bhagavan Shree MahaVishnu Hand, like a large number of amalaka-fruits on the palm of a magician, engrossed in demonstrating his tricks. 

Infinite crores of macrocosms, along with their veils, swirl round and round, like a continuous chain of pots attached to a water-wheel (used for baling water), in each interspace between the hair-follicles of Bhagavan Shree MahaVishnu".

Winter

Winter has conquered Moscow in 1 day, because yesterday it was autumn weather without snow. Now it is -3 Celsius and everything is under snow blanket.

I have boiled up bulgur for the first time yesterday. 

It is a very good alternative to rice, as the nutrition value of bulgur is
