There is a rare jyotish combination on December 8 from 3-4:30 am. It is said in the Vedas that if all the following are present, it is extremely auspicious. If a Rudrabhishekam is performed at that time, it will on a subtle level clear karmic obstacles and problems that don’t seem to clear otherwise. Problems in life that have no identifiable cause will simply melt away. It is very difficult to find remedies to address karma all the way to this subtle level.
These are the factors:
1) The Vedic month is Margashira Maas, which is a Vishnu month. Lord Krishna said in the Bhagavad Gita that this month is the top for evolution. There are full Vishnu qualities this month.
2) Moon is in Ardra Nakshatra (area around a star in Gemini) on December 8. It is a Shiva Nakshatra. On December 8 from 3-4:30 am (a daily time period called Brahma Muhurtha), you can see this red fiery star in the northeast. It is very unusual to ever be able to see that star.
3) It is a Monday… the day of Shiva.
It would be very good if you would meditate during this early morning time… 3-4:30 a.m. EST on December 8. The benefits should be wonderful. The Age of Enlightenment is blossoming!
To share something personal, I was planning to ask Pandit Prasad if he would perform with me a Rudrabhishekam before he left to India on December 8 (he and Lakshmi will be visiting family). I did not know why. It was just a strong and recurring feeling. Then out of the blue, Lakshmi sent an email to me with a request to attend the Rudrabhishekam.
Dear Maharshiji,
Namaste
Thank you for sharing the information about this highly spiritual combination and also your own personal feelings/intuition – shows the strength of your divine connection.
Wish you a very happy thanksgiving. This is also a perfect time to say ‘Thank You’ for all the knowledge and wisdom you share. Thank You very much!!
Jai Guru Dev!
Looking forward to meditating with the group from a distance. Thank you for Rudrabhishekam idea and bringing it to fruition, it’s amazing how the Nature works when you align with it.
So can we take a Rudrabhisekam on that day?
We all have little intuitions throughout our lives… The real art is not in having them so much as it is in how to hold them. what to do with them….
It is best to explore them by putting out feelers and seeing what comes back…
To take them as gospel is not so wise…
To ignore them is also not so wise…
Feel your way…
See what comes back…
Adjust accordingly…
The best thing to do on that day is meditate with the group at the specified time… wherever you are in the world. Alternatively, you could listen to a recording of the Sri Rudram. If you do not have a recording, you may be able to find one online or perhaps someone can provide a link and post it here as a comment.
You can always attend a Rudrabhisekam somewhere, but that is a separate matter.
Happy Thanksgiving!
So…I knew that Lakshmi and Pundit were leaving for India on the 8th. Interestingly, something about that date has been “in my head” for awhile now, and I don’t think it’s that they are going to India. When I read your blog, I felt a definite stir (for lack of a better term) in my cells, like I understand on some level beyond just my intellect that what you wrote about is profoundly important. I can feel a kind of joyful sensation deep inside, as if I know in some way the truth about what you have said.
I only write this anonymously because I feel kind of weird to share it. Maybe I just have a vivid imagination.
Anyway…I will certainly be joining in on that meditation.
Thank you for everything, dear Brahmarshi.
If Karma is a self created opportunity “to see with love what we once saw with fear” then its seems that with the Rudrabhishekam’s help things will become clearer but not removed. I’ve thought that Karma remains until we learn to view it differently. I’ve thought that to simply clear Karma without understanding would not be a help to me. Don’t problems always have a cause even if we can’t pin point the origin? So could perhaps “problems” actually increase in order for the lesson to better reach home inside us? Just wondering. I’ll be meditating. Thanks for the heads up. John
December 8 time correction
Regarding the previous blog about December 8, the time is actually 4:30 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. Asheville, NC time. On that day, morning meditation at Mount Soma will begin at 4:30 a.m. and will be two rounds. All who practice Surya Ram Meditation are welcome to attend. Note: Several have asked to attend the ceremony in the temple. Panditji made it clear that this would not work. It is like an arrow, the tip should be at one point. Multiple points blunts the tip. However, what is important is to be part of the arrowhead. All are welcome to join in by meditating while the group is meditating, wherever you are in the world.
John,
There is a great deal to be said the clear this up for you. I am not so sure it can be done in a blog comment. Perhaps it could be done in a blog so i may do so. Best if you would attend a class sometime and ask. It would be good to see you.
JOHN, I JUST CAN’T LEAVE IT AT THAT. SORRY IF MY PITHY RESPONSES ARE NOT SUFFICIENT BUT IT MAY POINT IN A DIRECTION FOR YOU. WARM REGARDS, MAHARSHI
If Karma is a self created opportunity “to see with love what we once saw with fear” NOT REALLY… THIS IS MORE MISLEADING THAN ACCURATE
I’ve thought that Karma remains until we learn to view it differently. NOT SO
I’ve thought that to simply clear Karma without understanding would not be a help to me. NOT SO. MOST KARMA IS CLEARED WITHOUT SIFTING THROUGH THE OLD GARBAGE.
Don’t problems always have a cause even if we can’t pin point the origin? YES
So could perhaps “problems” actually increase in order for the lesson to better reach home inside us? THIS IDEA TOO IS MORE MISLEADING THAN ACCURATE.
Thanks for the response. I would love to see a blog on this of course.
Until then I hope my mis-perceptions can at least provoke their opposite in me. It may be my best hope.
John
How does the past exist in us now?
