Guruji's teachings
Ten short lines to repeat each day, shared on Guruji's blog. They cover the body, forgiveness, gratitude and love.
Posted on Guruji's blog by Vira Chandra, from the teachings of Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati (Guruji). Originally published at amritananda-natha-saraswati.blogspot.com on 7 November 2016.
1. My body is a temple. All parts of my body are made by Goddess and are divine. They are seats of all powers: manifest and latent. They are the real Sakti Peethas.
2. Sex is sacred. It is the source of life. Genitals are sacred. I worship them as Siva and Sakti.
3. Sri Chakra is located in all the female genitals at the clitoris. It has been called the Jewel in the Lotus. It is most sacred, and secret, yet known to everyone. I worship the Sri Chakra, a circle of devotees to connect me to the source of cosmos.
4. Whatever whatever sins I committed, I did in a state of ignorance. Then I was in a hypnosis. Now I am awake. This awakened being did not commit those things. I do not feel shame, nor will I punish myself for what I was. Past is past, gone for ever. I forgive myself, as I forgive all others the wrongs they did tome. Now I can laugh at my mistakes, and others ignorance. Is a five year old less than a ten year old? All are evolving. I don't have to hate ignorance. Darkness cant be where light is.
5. I love myself. I deserve love. I deserve riches. I deserve joy, happiness, health. I have them. I share them. I will see people's happiness.
6. I will think of Goddess always. In my sadness, in my pleasure. More so in my pleasure, because that is when I tend to forget Her.
7. My mother, father, guru, guests, relatives and friends, and all help me; I express my gratitude for their help every day mentally and through actions. I will serve them with compassion.
8. Even my enemies have life; and life is Devi. So I respect them, forgive them, and try to look at their point of view and make friends. If I can't do it, I will love them all the same, do not reject them, but maintain a respectful distance. My love does not expect that they should love me in return. It has no conditions attached. I share because I like sharing. That is all.
9. Expressing love through thought word and deed are the sure means for unlimited abundance, health, and pleasure. It is my birth right to enjoy these good things of life.
10. In every outgoing breath, my anxieties and worries are getting out. With every incoming breath, peace is coming in. I am happy here and now. I have plenty of energy flowing through me. I am enjoying bliss, energy, wealth, love and pleasure independent of external circumstances.
Mark those that appeal to you. Repeat them every day and make them your own. You will see your life change in perceptible ways.
From the teachings of Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati (Guruji). Original post: "Daily Affirmations", 7 November 2016, https://amritananda-natha-saraswati.blogspot.com/2016/04/daily-affirmations.html. Posted on Guruji's blog by Vira Chandra.
Affirmations like these are a form of inner worship. The first lines treat the body itself as the temple, which is a core idea in Kaula practice. You do not need to go anywhere else to begin.
The lines on forgiveness and gratitude fit the path too. Kaula practice asks you to see the Goddess in all life, including people who trouble you, and to keep some distance when you need it.
The breath line is a simple way to start a sitting practice. Outer worship such as yantra, homam or deity puja can then rest on a calmer mind.
They are ten short statements posted on Guruji's blog. They cover the body as a temple, forgiveness, self-love, remembering the Goddess, gratitude, respect for all life, and breath.
The post ends by saying to mark the ones that appeal to you, repeat them every day and make them your own. It says you will see your life change in perceptible ways.
The text says past actions were done in ignorance, like being in a hypnosis. Now you are awake, so you do not punish yourself. It asks you to forgive yourself and others.
It says even enemies have life, and life is Devi. So respect them, try to see their view, and love them without expecting love back. If you cannot make friends, keep a respectful distance.
