A Miracle - Divine Presence

A Miracle – Dr Padmasubrahmanyam on her informal chat with Lt. Col. Ashok Kini

 

My dance performance at New Delhi on September 10, 2003 at Kamani Auditorium was a memorial programme for the great Kathak Maestro, Pandit Durgalal. On 15^th September, I had the honor of meeting the President of India to request him to participate in the Birth Centenary Celebratins of my father Director K. Subrahmanyam to be held in Chennai in April 2004. My eldest brother Balakrishnan, the Managing Trustee of Director K. Subrahmanyam Memorial Trust and his son Kannan who is my colleague in the Trust Board were with me.

 

As we were in the office of Lt. Col. Ashok Kini (Comptroller) for fifteen minutes before the President’s appointment, he spontaneously congratulated me for my performance on 10^th. We were quite surprised, as we thought that he could not attend the concert. In fact, the seat we had kept for him was un-occupied. In his own characteristic style, he had come quietly and taken a seat in the 8^th or 9^th row and enjoyed the show in full.

 

After congratulating, he said that he almost went into a trance, the moment I started the programme with “Argala Stotra” (the preliminary prayer for reciting “Devi Mahatmiyam”, consisting of 700 verses). As we were well aware of his rather silent background of mystic experiences, I was not too surprised at this reaction But what followed was something which stunned all of us. Very casually, Sri Ashok Kini said he saw mw on the stage, wearing a particular kind of long necklace, which in fact I was not wearing. His vivid description of the ornament on me was close to what I had offered to Goddess Kamakshi at Kanchipuram almost two decades ago, through the Divinity in human form, Pujyasri Mahaswami, the Centanarian Saint of Kanchi Kamakoti Pitam, who occupied that spiritual throne as the 68^th Sankaracharya.

 

It was my ardent wish at that time to make a pendant with a large single Green Jade stone for Goddess Kamakshi. The inspiration was from seeing such an invaluable pendant on Goddess Kamakshi at Kollur. When I went to Canada, I bought a palm size single green stone in the shape of a maple leaf (the national tree of Canada). On my way back, I had some concerts in Dubai, where I wanted to buy gold just enough to set the gem. My admirers there wanted to join me and contribute for that jewel. This made it possible to have three rows of pearls and other gems for the pendant with some additional gold. Finally it became a unique beautiful long necklace for the Universal Mother. I went to Kanchipuram and left the jewel with the Motherly Saint with a devotional request to Him to adorn Kamakshi Amba with that ornament by his holy hands, at His convenience. I had no desire to be even present for that event. I prayed for the sake of all who joined in this effort. We drove back to Chennai that night.

 

Nest early morning, there was a call from Kanchi Matam, informing that Pujya Mahaswami was asking us to reach there the same evening. We came to know that he had initially decided to go to the Kamakshi Temple at 5-00 AM and as the entire retinue was ready, he suddenly changed his mind and asked them to send the message to us. As he was observing silence, he had shown hand gestures to mention my name i.e., showing Lotus for Padma, followed by “Vel” (spear) for Subrahmanyam. We reached Kanchipuram in the evening and walked behind the Saint towards the temple. He did not enter the temple, but went into a street house in the Sannadhi Street (not far from the Gopuram) and sat in the front veranda We did not understand what was happening. It was Vijayadasami Day and we could recognize the Lalitha Sahasranamam book in his hands. It was amusing, because, he does not at all need the book; it was probably meant for us to understand that he was chanting the 1000 names of the Mother. The timing was unbelievably precise and perfect. As he left the book down, Goddess Kamakshi was brought form the temple right in front of that house. There was the traditional Nadaswaram band with all the prarphernalia of the procession with scores of devotees.

 

The Mahaswami gracefully got up, went out with his “yoga danda” and stood still, right in front of the deity, with his unique (laser beam ?) look. That exact times seems to have got frozen in my mind’s eye. After that “stillness”,  he beckoned us to come near him. He took the jewel from the box and placed it around Mother’s neck most dainitfully by his right hand thumb, middle and left fingers. It got settled on the slot, as though the length was pre-measured. Then he stood still again, touching the jewel with the tip of his Yoga Danda, After a few seconds, he gave a merciful gracious glance at me and also showed the sign of blessing through his hand gesture.

 

When I finished narrating this episode, Lt. Col. Ashok Kini had horipulation; for, the jewel he saw on me on the stage, was akin to that which was offered to Goddess Kamakshi two decades ago. I swore that I was wearing only a ruby studded traditional mango shaped “kundhan” jewel and not the green one with pearls that he had so surely visualized. It was another occasion for us to realize that there are things which are beyond normal human rationale. The links are too mystic in nature, that we decided to accept it with devotional humility as an unforgettable enjoyable experience beyond words. The presence of our Universal Mother and Universal Guru needs self experience and not mere verbal description; for, sweetness has to only tasted and explained.

 

Sri Ashok Kini is surely a blessed child of the Supreme Mother.

 

 

BRAHMGYAN - SANDHYAVANDAN

BRAHMGYAN - SANDHYAVANDAN

Acquiring Brahmgyan is the aim of every human being. And the easy way to achieve this is Sandhyavandan. The best time to perform this Sandhyavandan is during cusp period, either 5 times a day or 3 times a day. If one does the Sandhyavandan, in 14 years one can get attuned to Brahmgyan. Other benefit which comes to us by doing Sandyavandan is washing off our sins of previous births and to lead a meaningful, fruitful and blissful enlightened life. In other words, to get divinized. Nowadays, the new generation is running along with the time or thinking ahead of the time. This will lead them nowhere, except for creating a desire of unbound success, which if not achieved would be disastrous for their lives. They don’t find time to understand the need for Sandhyavandan and other related rituals connected with it. To win over the time, one has to enter into the time. To enter into the time, one must understand the time. To understand the time, one has to be with the time. And to be with the time, one has to synchronize one’s breath with the time. In simpler words, we perform Pranayam and Japa i.e. chanting of divine Mantras either given by the Masters (enlightened ones) or Mantras which praises the Celestial Beings.

 

If you are an Indian born, you are lucky that your system will get attuned to the Divine vibrations very fast than others because the Panchabhootas of your physiology are from the Divine land of Bharata which is reverberating Divine influence since time immemorial. The reason for this is that our Panchabhootas are consisting of the vibrations of many enlightened bodies. So it is easy for one to search for other end of Divinity when you have one end in your hand. What I mean to say is that you are required to get only attuned to Divine Consciousness (Paramatma).

 

All our actions come from our thoughts. And our thoughts are influenced by the movements of the planets which are close to earth. So performing Sandhyavandan and thus praising the Celestial Beings makes one with pure thoughts and pure actions. In other words, one performs good deeds.

 

There is no use of doing Sandhyavandan if a person has unclean body and bad thoughts. Hence it is very important that cleanliness of the body and the mind be given utmost importance.

 

Sandhyavandan purifies the inner body and the soul and increases the inner power and robust mental health which ultimately allows one to concentrate onto the Divine. Pranayama will improve the health and increase the lifespan by keeping the body balanced. A person who performs Sandhyavandan regularly shows more love and affection to fellow human beings.

 

Whether you are a Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist or Jain, remember the one God with one Faith and perform the Panchakaal or the Trikaal Sandhyavandan with full devotion. This will undoubtedly increase the self confidence and will help one to lead one’s life peacefully and with contentment so that one can live in harmony with the family. When there is harmony in the family, there is order in the nation. And when there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world.

Jai Jai Gyan.
