Grape Juice protects the Heart !


It is said that a glass of grape juice keeps the Cardiologist away.

The resveratrol present in the seeds and skin of grapes and the flavonoids are responsible for this phenomenon.

Grapes , whether it is green, red or black, do reduce B P.

The antioxidants present in grapes removes free radicals ! Grapes is undoubtedly a divine fruit !

Astro Meteorology is right !




Despite criticism that Thula Varsha or the North East Monsoon is far away, she is dot on time. It rained heavily in Trichur yesterday. It rained heavily in Madras the day before.

Tamil Nadu receives more rains than Kerala in this North East Monsoon phase. In Kerala rains are less this year, with the result we have unwanted power cuts. 

We hope it pours heavily again. If not Kerala is in for more power cuts. 


The N E Monsoon has a direct bearing on the economy, as Mr Monsoon is the Finance Minister of India !

The Absolute is equal and equanimous !







The world is overcome, aye, even here

By such that fix their faith on Unity

The sinless Brahma dwells in Unity

And they in Brahma



- Geetha



Ihaiva thairjitha sargo
Esham samyo sthitham manah
Nirdosham hi samam Brajma
Thasmad Brahmani the shithah

This is becoming a Sthitha Prajna, one whose Consciousness is established in the Absolute Brahman.

About Samam Brahma( The Absolute is equal and equanimous ) , Aurobindo said " We are confronted by a mighty Energy of infinite Existence and infinite Activity, pouring itself into limitless Space and eternal Time, before whose balance the grandiose product of aeons seems seems nothing but the dust of a moment. This mighty Energy is an equal and impartial mother and in the mighty term of the Geetha, Samam Brahma !"

Bhagavan Patanjali and Yoga Sutras









In His Yoga Sutras, Patanjali spelt out the principles of Cosmic Union.



Transcending the three relative states of Waking ( Jagrat ), Dreaming ( Swapna ) and Dremless Sleep ( Sushupthi ), there exists a Fourth State of Consciousness ( proved conclusively in Dr Keith Wallace's PhD Thesis " The physiological effects of Transcendental Meditaton", UCLA. 1975 and published in the Scientific American ).

This Fourth State is known in Sanskrit as Thureeya. Transcendental Consciousness is Thureeya and Cosmic Consciousness, the Fifth State, is known as Thureeyatheetha in Yogic scriptures.

Bhagavan Patanjali was an incarnation of the Lord. The Lord in His Bounty, incarnated as Patanjali to reveal to humanity the Wisdom of Yoga Sastra.

Later, Aurobindo integrated all the four systems of Yoga - Bhakti, Jnana, Karma and Raja - and called it the Integral Yoga.


In the early hours of morning, I meditate
On the Absolute Self, which alone exists
Which is of the nature of Being-Knowledge-Bliss
Which is the end of our evolutionary journey
Which transcends the relative states triune
I am that partless, undifferentiated Brahman
And not this assemblage apparent
Of matter envelopments, bound by Nescience !

Pratha smarami hrudi samsphura atma thathvam
Sat Chit Sukham Paramahamsa Gathim Thureeyam
Yad swapna jagara sushupta mavethi nithyam
Tad Brahma nishkalam aham na cha bhoothasangha ! !

The divine objective of the Fourfold Yoga




The object of our Fourfold Yoga is self-perfection, as Yoga is the Art of Conscious Self finding !

We are the centers and knots of Divine Consciousness, as this world is a movement of Brahman in His own being. The Universe is one of the rhythms of Brahman, His play with His own conscious delight, with the infinities of existence and the splendours ofKnowledge. He alone exists in se, free, absolute, eternal and perfect, He who is self ruler ( swarat ) and all ruler ( samrat ). We are the self multiplications of that conscious Delight, thrown into being to be His playmates in the eternal Vrindavan, which is the Universe. This world is merely a formula, a rhythm and a symbol system expressing the Lord to Himself in His own self consciousness. We are like Him, in our outward being, terms of that formula, symbols of that system and notes of that rhythm and in our inward Being, one with His eternal essence, with Absolute Being-Knowledge-Bliss, with Sat Chit Ananda. Let us lead forward the Lord's movement, play out His play, work out His formula, execute His harmony and express Him through ourselves in His grand system, by His Grace. This is our joy and self fulfillment and the culminating point of the Evolution of Consciousness of humanity.

We have to work out perfection and accomplish harmony. But we find that here we are confronted by the negative qualities. Ignorance, imperfection, gried, limitation, matter etc are merely the first terms of that formula. We have to reinterpret the formulary to find out the inner esoteric meaning. Why the negative qualities, when He has been defined as Positive ? These negative qualities are merely the initial discords of that Grand Musician's harmony.

Our aim is to construct perfection out of imperfection, to find infinity out of limitation, immortality in lieu of death, Bliss out of this sorrow of the temporal, Self Knowledge out of this welter of Ignorance and to discover Spirit out of this ocean of inconscient Matter.
The noble objective of the Fourfold Yoga, therefore, is to work out this divine end for ourselves and for our brethren, so that this Earth becomes a Paradise of Bliss.

Kabbalah, the Western Yoga



In the West Mysticism still exists as Gnosticism, Free Masonry, Rosicrucianism etc. Most of the English poets or philosophers we quoted belong to these philosophic groups.

Gnostics are vegetarians, they indulge in Meditation and Prayer and believe in Reincarnation. Gnosticism is based on the Kabalah or Jewish Mysticism. Philip Gardiner states that Jews are Indian philosophers. They are known in Indian Philosophy as Kalanis. Judaism and Hinduism are similar. Old Testament is same as Vedas, Kabalah same as Yoga etc.

Gnosticism, Sufism, Zen, Kabbalah - all these are nothing but Yoga.

Says Albert Pyke about Gnostics

' The Gnostics derived their ideas from Plato and Philo, from the Zend Avesta, the Kabbalah and the sacred books of India and Egypt and thus introduced into the bosom of Christianity all sorts of cosmological and philosophical speculations, derived as they are from the doctrines of the Orient and which the Neo Platonists adopted in the Occident".

Hegel, Marx, Sir Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin, Dante, Goethe, Milton, Bacon, Shakespeare were all Gnostics or Yogis. The origin of Free Masonry, which is based on Gnosticism, which is based on Kabalah, is Vedic.

The Hebrew Religion is a Vedic religion and it has its origin in the Vedas. Jesus was a Reformer. He came to modify. Mohammed took the principles of Judaism and Christianity and founded Islam. Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism etc are all derivatives of Hinduism. Hence all religions are based on Vedic teachings, Aham Brahmasmi and Tat Tvam Asi.
