Friends, those who are on board with Matriarchy, Female Empowerment &
Mother God, please share this article on your face books & other social
media. Thanks.
NEW BOOK “AMERICA’S MOST BEAUTIFUL MEN” WILL BE OUT SOON
Guru Rasa has added to her collection of hats that of photographer. She is taking pictures of the most amazing looking men she can find, and this is one of them. Book being planned now is “America’s Most Beautiful Men.”
A DISCIPLE’S TESTIMONY – HE TRIED OTHER GURUS BUT NONE WORKED LIKE GURU RASA. SO HE IS FOR THE TRUE POWER OF GOD IN RASA.
GURU RASA’S COMMENTS IN CAPS
i have stated my journey and seem a lot of different scenarios of spirituality from last many years. i have seen, met and interacted with many nice people and few of them were really expert. In the start, i wanted a ” True Spiritual Teacher ” then i found that only a ” Guru ” can help me and a true guru is not an ordinary spiritual teacher, but one who has attained union with God and is therefore qualified to lead others to that goal. The guru as “dispeller of darkness” (gu, “darkness,” and ru, “that which dispels.”)
RASA SAYS:
THE DARKNESS I DISPEL IS ONE OF THE CONNECTION WITH LOWER ENERGIES AND LOWER THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS. I ASSIST THE DISCIPLE TO RISE THROUGH THE CHAKRAS, TO BE BORN AGAIN, AND BEGIN THE ASCENT INTO THE SAHASRARA.
WE NEED TO SEE ONE ANOTHER WITH RESPECT IN SPITE OF OUR FAULTS – GOD IS IN US
The role of the guru is to help his disciples find liberation in God through a very personal spiritual bond formed between guru and disciple, a union of loyal spiritual endeavor on the part of the disciple and divine blessings by the Guru.
RASA SAYS:
YOU MUST INVITE ME INTO YOUR HEART. CLEAR YOUR HEART OF OTHER ATTACHMENTS, INVITE ME IN. A LINK IS FORMED, A BOND. THE MORE DEVOTION YOU SHOW ME, THE MORE OBEDIENCE TO MY TEACHINGS AND BLESSINGS, THE MORE POWER YOU GET. BECOME LUKEWARM, THE POWER MIGHT WANE. FORGET ME, THE POWER DIMINISHES. REPUDIATE ME, THE POWER STOPS.
I HAD ONE DISCIPLE COME UNDER THE SWAY OF A BLACK-MAGIC WOMAN. SHE PERSUADED HIM TO UN –INSTALL ME FROM HIS HEART. I HAD A DREAM HE HAD LEFT GOD AND WAS ON IS WAY TO HELL. I CALLED HIM AND ASKED HIM WHAT HE HAD DONE. HE CONFESSED. I ASKED HIM TO INSTALL ME AGAIN AND HE WAS REUNITED WITH GOD, HIS LIFE SAVED.
THE WOMAN WHO BEGUILED HIM WAS JEALOUS OF MY POWER, WANTED TO BE INFLUENTIAL LIKE ME, BUT SHE DID NOT HAVE THE ANOINTING. I AM TARGETED BY NUMEROUS JEALOUS WOMAN WHO WANT TO FILL MY SHOES BUT THEY CANNOT.
i want to be an ideal devotee, the perfect disciple. i met ” Rasa Von Werder ” and found her a real, true Guru. At this stage , i understand that we can love a Guru, but we cannot possess a Guru. The Guru breaks the pattern of possessing love. Whenever we seem dictating terms or becoming possessive, He/she will do the complete opposite – tighten the screw or loosen the screw, as it is needed.
RASA SAYS:
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MEN, THAT SOME OF THEM WANT TO POSSESS ME PHYSICALLY AS A MAN-TO-WOMAN THING. NO MAN CAN POSSESS ME UNLESS I WANT HIM TO, UNLESS I CHOOSE HIM. THE MEN I HAVE SEX WITH AND MY FUTURE HUSBAND ARE NOT THE SAME AS DISCIPLES, ALTHOUGH SOME OF THEM MIGHT BECOME DISCIPLES AND MY HUSBAND WILL BE MY DISCIPLE, I DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH DISCIPLES ORDINARILY. UNLESS I TELL A DISCIPLE I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH HIM HE SHOULD REFRAIN FROM CHASING ME AS A MAN TO A WOMAN, AS THAT WILL PUSH ME AWAY RATHER THAN DRAW ME TO HIM.
IT MEANS HE IS LOOKING AT ME IN THE EYES OF THE FLESH.
THE DISCIPLE MUST LOOK TO ME AS GOD-ON-EARTH, THE SAME AS IF HE SAW JESUS ON EARTH IN A WOMAN’S BODY.
At the same time, a Guru is not doing anything. It is just happening through Him / Her. It is happening through the Big Mind. There is no pre-conceived plan of action. Actions are spontaneous.
RASA SAYS:
THE ANOINTING HAPPENS AUTOMATICALLY. DO NOT ASK ME TO PRAY. ASK ME TO ANSWER YOUR PRAYER. I AM GOD ON EARTH, THE SAME AS JESUS.
I understand that we should not change Guru-disciple relationship into just another relationship, like father, brother, sister, wife or close friend. It’s not like any other relationship except the relationship with Mother and its more than 1000 times. Otherwise, we will get into the same type of possessive attitude. Guru is all wisdom and love. Guru is that principle which is wisdom and love, and that is awakened in each one who has stepped onto the path.
RASA SAYS:
THE GURU IS GOD ON EARTH, NOT YOUR RELATIVE IN THE FLESH. IT IS A DIVINE RELATIONSHIP WHICH IS NOT LIMITED TO THE PHYSICAL. MOST RELATIVES ARE NOT GOD ON EARTH, THEY ARE NOT ENLIGHTENED OR SELF REALIZED, THEIR LOVE, WISDOM AND POWER ARE LIMITED, SOME PARENTS AND RELATIVES ARE HELL-BENT, THEIR EARTHLY PRESENCE CANNOT SAVE OTHERS. SOME RELATIVES LEAD US TO HELL, NOT TO HEAVEN. BEWARE OF ATTACHMENT TO RELATIVES, EVEN YOUR OWN PARENTS, WHEN THEY ARE NOT OF GOD.
i found Guru Rasa to be a person, a Guru who has no gap between life and wisdom and love, and my purpose of becoming a disciple is to bridge that gap. People have different reasons to be with a Guru but i think mine are: to have my wishes fulfilled and because it is more pleasurable (ed: do you mean happiness?). When everything looks more painful to me and i come for comfort to be a good disciple of my Guru. i want to evolve and become Enlightened. i want to know higher Knowledge. i have my goals and my vision, i want to share . I want to just obey, serve and give comfort to the Guru. i should be with the Guru because i belong to Her.
There is no choice. So the necessity for a guru cannot be avoided, because no one is so wise as to know everything about the past, present and future. All problems are new when they come. So, we require a superior to guide us. The teacher should not be one at variance with his knowledge. He or She should be the one who is not different from that which he teaches. Nowadays, we have learned people, professors, scholars who are supposed to be repositories of knowledge, but their life is different from what they preach. Knowledge becomes meaningful when it is lived, and not merely taught, or heard or read about. This knowledge cannot be obtained through mere study for oneself. It requires the grace of a Guru and Guru Rasa Von Werder is one of the best gurus. i surrender myself to the Her wholly and solely, and i hope that She takes on the responsibility of looking after the welfare of the soul of Her devoted disciple.
RASA SAYS:
A GURU IS A PERSON WHO HAS TRANSCENDED PHYSICAL KNOWLEDGE, THEY HAVE ASCENDED IN TO THE HIGHEST REACHES. SOME GURUS, LIKE MYSELF, HAVE RISEN INTO THE SAHASRARA, THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND THEY HAVE SEEN GOD FACE TO FACE AND FOUND THAT GOD IS THEMSELVES. THEY HAVE LOOKED INTO THE SPIRITUAL MIRROR.
HAVING A DEGREE, EVEN ONE OR MORE DOCTOR DEGREES, IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE ON EARTH, DOES NOT TRANSLATE INTO SPIRITUAL SALVATION. ONLY RISING THROUGH THE CHAKRAS MEANS EVOLUTION.
WHEN YOU JOIN WITH YOUR GURU, THE GURU LENDS YOU THEIR POWER SO YOU CAN ASCEND THROUGH YOUR CHAKRAS AND FIND YOURSELF, SO YOU CAN BE LIKE THE GURU, WHO HAS FOUND GOD WITHIN HERSELF AND WORSHIPS HERSELF AS GOD.
THIS IS NOT BLASPHEMY, THIS IS TAUGHT BY THE GREAT BUDDHISTS AND YOGIS FROM THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
GOD IS WITHIN, WHEN WE REACH ENLIGHTENMENT WE CONNECT WITH THE GOD WITHIN US.
i feel inside me that the relationship is deeper than all other relations like man and wife, friends or father and son. The wife can live without the husband, and the husband without wife, but with the true guru and disciple, who share a pure love, the notion of duality disappears and a unity takes place. This is not the same type of love that exists between family members, but something much greater and longer lasting. The relationship is neither rational nor emotional, but of a psychic nature. The spiritual interaction between a guru and disciple takes place without any disturbance to the mind and the guru’s presence is always felt. The moment the disciple thinks of the guru, his mind quiets down and communion takes place. The main duty of the guru is to help remove the darkness of avidya (ignorance) by guiding the evolution of the spiritual aspirant. Guru teaches all kinds of physical, psychic and spiritual planes, and helps the disciple to follow the correct path. The duty of the disciple is to serve and obey the guru and to learn from his teachings, gain from his knowledge and so become self-purified.
RASA SAYS: THE GURU IS SENT TO YOU BY GOD, AS GOD, GOD APPEARS IN THE FLESH WHEN YOU FIND A GURU – IF THE GURU IS LIVING. IT IS EXTREMELY RARE TO FIND A GURU ON EARTH, IN THE BODY OF A PERSON. BUT IF YOU ARE SINCERE, IT CAN HAPPEN. BE GRATEFUL. MOST OF MY GURUS WERE DEAD, BUT I DID HAVE TWO THAT WERE LIVING. ONE HAPPENED WAY EARLY IN MY CAREER, IN THE 70′S, THE OTHER WAS LATE IN MY SPIRITUAL CAREER, IN THE 2000′S. BOTH WERE FEMALES, AND THERE WERE STRONG DIFFICULTIES WITH THEM (JEALOUSY FROM THE FIRST, AND GREED, AND THE SECOND, MISUNDERSTANDINGS).
HOWEVER, I LOOKED BEYOND THE FLESH AND TO THE GOD THAT WAS INSIDE THE GURU AND I EVOLVED FROM THEM.
i suggest that a guru is necessary for those people who want to follow the spiritual path and it is important that the relationship is formed correctly. When the guru’s guidance is of a pure nature, the disciple will never fail, unless he leaves the guru due to lack of interest. He may also get discouraged and leave, not understanding the true nature of the guru’s help. The guru watches, instructs and warns his followers in many different ways and on different levels of consciousness. With pure love and constant awareness of his disciples, he is always guiding them.
RASA SAYS:
I DO NOT USUALLY GET PHYSICALLY INVOLVED WITH MY DISCIPLES, BECAUSE THAT WOULD TAKE AWAY FROM MY WORK. I AM A TEACHER. I TEACH BY EXAMPLE AND THROUGH WRITINGS. IF I GOT PHYSICALLY INVOLVED WITH MY DISCPLES IT WOULD EAT UP MY TIME AND ENERGY FOR THE WORK. AFTER ALL, EARTHLY PROBLEMS ARE MULTITUDINOUS, THEY NEVER END. I CANNOT GET INVOLVED.
THE DISCIPLE MUST UNDERSTAND THIS AND LOOK UPON ME LIKE A SAINT IN HEAVEN, TO WHOM HE/SHE PRAYS. THE SAINT DOES GREAT THINGS, BUT SHE IS NOT ON THE EARTH GETTING INVOLVED WITH YOUR PROBLEMS.
Even if the guru is far away, it does not matter. A mother continues caring for her child even if he is on the other side of the world. In the same way the guru’s guidance is both present and necessary at all times.
RASA SAYS:
MOTHER/CHILD RELATIONSHIPS HAVE TO BE PHYSICAL AS WELL AS EMOTIONAL (with small children), AND A HUSBAND/WIFE HAVE TO BE TOGETHER TO MAKE IT WORK (in most cases). BUT THE GURU/DISCIPLE DO NOT HAVE TO BE PHYSICALLY PRESENT FOR IT TO WORK; IN FACT, PHYSICAL PRESENCE CAN GUM UP THE WORKS, CAN CONFUSE THE ISSUES, WHEN THE DISCIPLE STARTS LOOKING ON THE GURU IN A PHYSICAL WAY OR THE GURU GETS TOO PHYSICALLY ATTACHED TO THE DISCIPLE.
i am so proud to be Her disciple and She is here to help and to bring the Power, Anointing, Healing, Transformation, Bliss, Blessings, Protection from God Almighty. Her special role has been the Empowerment of Women. i feel so honor that She appeared in my life, i feel a fortunate human being who has God call to me for “the Kingdom of God” – to all great things. i feel more spiritually special and capable. i believe that Rasa is from God and of God, and has the Power of God. i never put any requirements on Her, i dont want to serve her in person (ed: unless she asks?), dont want to live with her nor seek her for physical presence. i respect the Power that is in Guru Rasa, who is from God, not an ordinary person. She is so special, i have to learn many more things on this spiritual journey. My Christmas gift is my submission to Guru Rasa. i want to receive Guru Rasa Power her Anointing as Her disciple. i love Her, my time and attention for Her. i have to read more Her teachings are on the websites and blogs.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!…..John Alia
RASA SAYS:
THANK YOU JOHN, AND TO ALL MY DISCIPLES, FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES, LOTS OF LOVE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015!
GURU RASA VON WERDER 12 28 14
YOU DO NOT WORSHIP MY MODELS, YOU WORSHIP THE GOD REPRESENTED BY MY MODELS. MOST MODELS ARE NOT GOD REALIZED, NOT ENLIGHTENED, NOT SAINTS, NOT AVATARS. THEY DO NOT DESERVE WORSHIP AS INDIVIDUALS, BUT THEY CAN BE SYMBOLS OF GOD; ONLY THAT. YES, GOD IS IN THE ATOM OF ALL LIFE, BUT UNLESS A HUMAN IS GOD REALIZED, THEY DO NOT DESERVE WORSHIP AS INDIVIDUALS.
IT MAKES ME LAUGH TO SEE HOW CONFUSED, REMARKABLY DISORIENTED AUDIENCES GET BY READING OR SEEING A THING, AND ONE ASSUMES THEY HAVE COLLEGE-AGE ABILITY WHILE THEIR QUESTIONS PROVE THEY ARE NOT EVEN IN HIGH SCHOOL, THEY ARE THE LEVEL OF KINDERGARTEN, AND YOU DON’T EXPECT GROWN MEN AND WOMEN TO BE THAT DUMB, BUT THEY ARE.
I HOPE I HAVE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTIONS DISCIPLE K AND YOU ARE TO CONTINUE WORSHIPING ME, SENDING ME TITHES AND PRAYING TO ME, AS THE EMBODIMENT OF MOTHER GOD. I AM GOD ON EARTH, NOT ONLY A SYMBOL.
FROM A DISCIPLE OF LONG STANDING TO RASA:
Most gracious and powerful God – First, I confess to being behind again on payments and humble ask Your forgiveness. I have been studying Your newest site. I saw somewhere that You said that both men and women were to worship Shiva (Your male models) by placing food near him, gifts or giving him money. Did I read that right Mother? How does that apply to me?
respectfully, DEVOTEE K
HOW DO I WORSHIP? SHIVA? SHAKTI?
SHIVA IS THE “MASCULINE” FORM OF GOD THE SYMBOL OF GOD IN A MAN, BUT HE IS CREATED BY “SHAKTI”, MOTHER GOD, “DURGA” MOTHER GOD. HE IS AN EMANATION OR CREATION OF MOTHER, THE WAY A MOTHER CREATES THE BODY & PENIS OF THE BOY, AS I EXPLAIN ELSEWHERE.
MANTRAS ARE PRAYERS TO THE MASCULINE IMAGE OF GOD – LORD SHIVA AND HIS LINGAM OR PENIS – BUT THESE ARE SYMBOLS, THE INDIVIDUAL MODEL IS NOT WORSHIPED FOR HIMSELF. IT IS INAPPROPRIATE TO WORSHIP SOMEONE WHO IS NOT GOD REALIZED. YOU RECEIVE THEIR ENERGY, YOU RECEIVE THE LOWER ELEMENTS THAT ARE NOT REALIZED, NO EVOLVED. WORSHIP HAS TO BE GOD CENTERED. IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS NOT GOD CENTERED, THEN THEY DO NOT DESERVE WORSHIP, THEY HAVE NOT EARNED IT, THERE IS NO GOD CONSCIOUSNESS THERE. IF YOU GIVE THEM WORSHIP YOU MIGHT GET THEIR ENERGY FROM THE LOWER CHAKRAS.
THOSE WHO FEEL CALLED TO WORSHIP MOTHER GOD THROUGH SHIVA AND HIS LINGAM CAN DO SO. I HAVE POSTED WAYS PEOPE DO THAT, IN INDIA IT’S CALLED “PUJA” AND MEANS FLOWERS, CANDLES, MONEY, FOOD, PRAYERS AND SO ON; SHOWING RESPECT AND LOVE SYMBOLICALLY. IT WOULD BE FOR SOME WOMEN AND MEN, BUT NOT ALL, JUST AS EACH RELIGION DOES NOT SERVE ALL BUT APPROPRIATE FOR SOME, OR DURING SOME PARTS OF THEIR LIFE. FOR INSTANCE, I AT ONE TIME WAS A JESUS/MARY WORSHIPER, CATHOLIC SAINT WORSHIPER, THEN I BECAME MORE OF A YOGI WITH YOGI GURUS, SO NOW I AM GURU RASA, AND THE LAST PART OF MY JOURNEY, AND MY LAST GURU, RAMANA MAHARSHI, BROUGHT ME ITO NONDUALITY, WHERE I KNOW I AM GOD, AND THERE ARE NO MORE GURUS FOR ME.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT RELIGION, WORSHIP, DEVOTION ARE BASED ON MORE THAN ONE THING. THERE IS THE SPIRITUAL PART OF US, THE MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL PART OF US. AND THESE COMPONENTS CHANGE.
WHEN WE ARE KIDS WE ARE DEPENDENT ON OUR PARENTS AND THE GOOD ONES GET OUR WORSHIP – THEY STAND AS REPRESENTATIVES OF GOD. BUT AT SOME POINT WE ABANDON OUR PARENT/GURUS, EVEN REBEL AGAINST THEM, SO THAT WE CAN FIND OTHER GUIDES AND EVENTUALLY BECOME INDEPENDENT GURU-SELVES.
RELIGION IS NOT EASY TO UNDERSTAND – IT IS COMPLICATED. LAST WEEK I HAD A HINDU BOY REPEAT TO ME WHAT IS A CLICHE IN HINDU TERMS – HE THOUGHT HE WAS BEING SO SMART, BUT I TOLD HIM TO PISS OFF, DON’T CALL ME, AND WALKED AWAY FROM HIM.
WHAT WAS IT THAT IRRITATED ME? THIS BOY OF 20 SAID TO ME, AFTER I TOLD HIM I WAS A GURU,
“I DON’T NEED A GURU. EVERYONE, EVERYTHING IS A GURU. THE SUDENTS AROUND ME ARE GURUS, MY PET DOG IS A GURU, MY EMPLOYER IS MY GURU, ALL OF LIFE IS MY GURU.”
HE ALSO GAVE ME SOUNDBITES ON LUST AND PRIDE – A THOROUGHLY ANNOYING BOY, NOT READY FOR PRIME-TIME RELIGION AND NOT WORTH MY TEACHING EFFORT.
EVEN THOUGH THE BOY WAS RIGHT, AS ALL THESE THINGS DO TEACH US, THEREFORE, THEY ARE OUR GURUS, HE WAS USING THIS DICTUM TO TELL ME HE DID NOT NEED AN INDIVIDUAL HUMAN, INCLUDING MYSELF, TO GUIDE HIM. IN THIS SENSE HE WAS REJECTING THE GOD STANDING BEFORE HIM (ME) AND TELLING ME THAT LIFE WOULD TEACH HIM BY HIMSELF, HE NEEDED NO INDIVIDUAL.
THIS IS THE TALE OF THE BOYS AND GIRLS WHO SAY,
“DON’T TEACH ME – I WILL DO IT MY WAY,”
AND THE MAJORITY OF THESE CASES DO NOT BECOME A SUCCESS, THE PATH OF DOING IT THEIR WAY IS FAILURE OR AT BEST, MEDIOCRITY, BECAUSE THEY REJECT THE HELP THAT GOD BRINGS THEM IN THE WAY THAT GOD BRINGS IT. IN A SIMPLE AND LONG-KNOWN TERM, THEY HAVE PRIDE, THEY CANNOT HUMBLE THEMSELVES. THAT IS WHY I TOLD HIM TO PISS OFF. NO HUMAN CAN RECEIVE THE HELP OF THE GURU UNTIL THEY THOROUGHLY AND TOTALLY HUMBLE THEMSELVES. THEY CAN HAVE THE IQ OF EINSTEIN, BUT WITHOUT HUMILITY, THEY CANNOT LEARN. SO LET THEM FALL BY THEIR OWN WAY, THEY DID IT TO THEMSELVES.
NOW TO YOUR LETTER:
FROM A DISCIPLE OF LONG STANDING TO RASA:
Most gracious and powerful God - First, I confess to being behind again on payments and humble ask Your forgiveness. I have been studying Your newest site. I saw somewhere that You said that both men and women were to worship Shiva (Your male models) by placing food near him, gifts or giving him money. Did I read that right Mother? How does that apply to me?……………………respectfully, DEVOTEE K
RASA SAYS:
DEVOTEE K, THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU MUST READ ALL OF A THING, NOT PART OF IT, BEFORE YOU THINK OR ESPECIALLY BEFORE YOU ACT. I WROTE MANY ARTICLES. YOU NOW GO TO ONE EXAMPLE WHERE PEOPLE WORSHIP SHIVA – AND I GAVE MANY PICS OF THEM DOING SO – WITH THE PUJA DEMONSTRATED.
THIS PUJA IS FINE FOR THEM AND THOSE WHO FEEL A LEANING TO WORSHIP MOTHER GOD THROUGH SHIVA – IT IS ALRIGHT FOR THEM – BUT HOW DOES IT APPLY TO YOU?
SECOND OF ALL, I DID NOT SAY TO WORSHIP MY MODELS – YOU ARE BEING SILLY.
THE MODELS ARE MODELS. MICHELANGLO USED THE SAME MODEL FOR JESUS AND JUDAS, BY THE WAY. THE PICTURE OF CHRIST WAS FOR CHRIST TO BE WORSHIPED, NOT THE MODEL WHO STOOD FOR HIM.
NEITHER ARE MODELS OF HOLY MARY TO BE WORSHIPED, THEY STAND AS MODELS, THEIR BODIES REPRESENT OUR HOLY MOTHER TO BE WORSHIPED. I THINK YOU CAN SEE THAT QUITE CLEARLY?
IF ANYONE ACTUALLY WORSHIPED MY MODELS – LOL – THEY WOULD RECEIVE THE IMMATURITY AND THE DAMAGE WITHIN THESE MODELS – MOST OF THEM ARE IN BAD SHAPE INSIDE – AND THAT WOULD BE THEIR REWARD FOR THIS WORSHIP. THE THING WE LOVE IN A DEVOTIONAL OR WORSHIPFUL WAY BRINGS THE QUALITIES OF THAT PERSONA INTO OURSELVES.
SO DISCIPLE K, YOU ARE TO WORSHIP GURU RASA VON WERDER, NO ONE ELSE, UNTIL YOUR INNER SELF TELLS YOU TO MOVE ON, AT THE TIME YOU HAVE RECEIVED ALL THAT YOU CAN FROM ME – WHICH WOULD BE FOREVER, LOL.
AND YOU DO NOT OWE MY MODELS ANY MONEY OR PUJA OR EVEN RESPECT, EXCEPT THANK THEM FOR THEIR BEAUTY AND GIVE IT HOMAGE BY A GLANCE, – THAT IS IT.
HOW MOTHER GOD DESTROYS DEMONS
HINDU VERSION
The Gods and Goddesses, this tale explains, are the positive entities within our being, with the ultimate being Mother God or Almighty God, (within our Sahasrara) – the highest energy center in the middle of the brain (known as “the blue pearl” in Siddha yoga). Here She is pictured as Durga, but She also changes herself into Kali. Never mind – as long as it is Mother God, it is Almighty God.
The lower “forces” or personalities within us – those which are not illuminated with grace, are seen as DEMONS. (Good analogy!) In Christianity these are often called VICES, or sinful, negative habits which destroy or harm others and most of all, ourselves. So we have the “boss” of demons centered as our EGO, then there are greed, anger, and lust…..
the greatest demon against Mother God is often seen as a Man-Bull, which seems to me like a fitting symbol for Patriarchy. It is the Patriarchs which veered away from worship of Mother, and put themselves in her place, creating a Man God in their own image and likeness. Consider how “bull headed” men are, when they are evil.
HINDU PARABLE
The following is a brief adaptation of the story as appears in the Devi-Mahatyma.
The Devas, such as Self-discipline, Universal Love, Selfless Service and Courage were being routed by the most fearsome demon they had ever beheld, Mahishasura (Egotism). Ego disregards the promptings of the Devas and claims all he sees for his own, living only for sensual pleasure and self-glorification, aided by lesser demons like Greed, Lust, and Anger.
The divine beings ran to the greatest of all the gods, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, to plead for help. But when the Big Three realize whom they are up against, they exchanged worried glances. “This job is too much for the Three of us,” they agree. “In a case like this, there is only one recourse.” And sitting down for meditation, the gods concentrate their mental energy on her, the Supreme Goddess. Her response is instantaneous.
At that very moment as Greed and Lust are trampling the world, an extraordinarily beautiful woman rivets their attention seated quietly near a mountaintop.
“She’s incredible!” they pant. “Ego must possess her!”
Males, however, cannot defeat Mother God – No lie can live forever – And if this demon is ego that also must eventually die
(This also sounds like the typical male, who wants to possess women and gets pissed off when a ravishing woman rejects him. Men frequently take revenge against such situations.)
And indeed, when Ego hears about her ravishing beauty, he sends his henchmen to her with a proposal.
“Submit to Ego and all the wealth of the world will be yours!” the demons announce to the mysterious woman. “Become his slave and we will serve you forever!”
(This sounds like Satan appearing to Jesus in the forty-day fast FINAL TEMPTATION,
“I will give you all the Kingdoms of the World and their glory, if you will BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP ME!”)
(And Our Lord gets rid of him totally by saying,
“Begone Satan, it is written that you shall love only the Lord thy God and him alone shalt thou serve.”)
Smiling ..shyly, she responds,
“Oh my, that’s a very attractive offer. But – silly me – I took a foolish vow when I was a little girl that I would only marry the man who defeats me in battle. I’m afraid I cannot accept your master unless he conquers me.”
It is MOSTLY a spiritual battle, a battle against our minds and souls, and evil cannot defeat Truth, while we keep our Faith
(Aha, a woman has rejected his ego! She says she will not submit unless they battle. She is not afraid of him – this incurs his wrath!)
Mahishasura is enraged at this reply and sends his generals with their heavily armed divisions to take the mysterious beauty by force. As the demons reach out to grasp her, however, the delicate maiden begins to grow.
(What a great analogy! We are living in the very day when woman HAS GROWN. He had her reduced for a while on the physical, but She has risen, She is displaying her awesome power, and he already knows, She has defeated him!)
An extra eye swells from her forehead, numerous arms sprout from her trunk, and fangs erupt from her howling mouth. Swords, spears, cudgels, and whirling discuses with very sharp edges-every conceivable weapon appears in each of her numberless fists. The tawny rock on which she has been sitting unfurls into an enormous, razor-clawed, ravenous lion.
Her God IS God!
“I think we bit off more than we can chew,” Fear mutters under his breath as he leads the suicide charge against Durga, the Mother of the Universe.
The enemy the Ego has unwittingly engaged is the Chit Shakti herself-the purifying power of Supreme Consciousness. The Ego has finally confronted the Higher Self-and it is mighty!
(What human and their demons, can stand against the Mighty, Invincible and Infinite Power of God? God annihilates the ego, the wicked. All that is not on the same level as God EVAPORATES in her Mighty Presence, it ceases to exist, it is no more, because it was all DELUSION and SHAM. God is Truth. Lies disappear before her.)
The Divine Warrioress thwarts her foes with powerful mantras, the sword of discrimination, the bow of determination, and the bludgeon of persistent yogic practice.
(Like St. Paul’s:
The full quote as outlined in the King James Bible, is from Apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians 6:10-18: (10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. (11) Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (13) Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; (15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: (18) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
……………………………
A fierce and grisly battle ensues in which Egotism expends every means at its disposal to overcome the spiritual force within as it reasserts its innate sovereignty.
The fighting is portrayed in detail, including Mother Durga’s famous battle with Rakta Bija (“Red Drop”): each time a drop of his blood, spilled in battle, touches the earth, it leaps up as a new warrior. The Divine Mother transforms herself into the gruesome Goddess Kali, who swallows every drop of blood before it reaches the ground. To the casual reader this is a grotesque episode, but meditators will instantly recognize the analogy: in the struggle to control one’s thoughts and desires, they seem to replicate magically and maniacally. Only by catching them before they have the opportunity to take root can this endless cycle be stopped.
Eventually, the all-powerful demon Mahishasura(Self-Delusion) lurches into battle, transforming himself from one shape into another as he attempts to elude the Universal Mother.
Indeed many of us have experienced this shape shifting .as, for example, brash egotism sublimates itself into spiritual pride. He is in the form of a half-man/half water buffalo when the Divine Force finally overcomes him. Indian religious art is replete with paintings and sculptures of the calm, benign Mother Durga slaying the buffalo demon Mahishasura.
At one point the Universal Mother projects millions of goddesses from herself, including Brahmani, the Goddess of Prudently Applied Intelligence, Vaishnavi, Goddess of Wisely Used Material Resources, and Varahi, the Goddess of Desire for Spiritual Perfection. Ego cries out,
“This is not fair!” and the Goddess reabsorbs her emanations, leading to the climatic scene in which Ego and Pure Spiritual Awareness stride forth to battle each other-alone.
Shakti is MOTHER GOD – She is the Divine Principle Dominant over all things – In this religion the male worships the Female as the way to attain God within himself – Enlightenment, Self Realization
In this final confrontation the great demon Mahishasura is slain.
When the Ego perishes, order is restored to the universe and harmony returns to nature. Indra and the other Gods regain their place in heaven (i.e., the mind and senses, in service of the Divine, resume their functions).
Thanks, Hindu saint who wrote most of this, with my comments.
