Kamo akarshin manyur akarshin namo namaha

Again and again, one considers one's body as oneself.

Again and again, one considers one's mind as oneself. 

Fear creeps into the mind, and one becomes fearful.

Unconscious impressions - Vaasanas - surface and one thinks one is a sinner. 

Desires arise, and one thinks one is lecherous. 

Amid all this flux of the mind; if one can see, one is not the mind, . . . that is a transcendence; and  a reality

To see all blemishes of  mind as one's own blemishes - that is agyana, ignorance, forgetfulness, virtuality. 

- A drop of eternity,      Amrita Bindu Upanishad,     August 11, 2022

Jyesht-abisheka


Consecrated metal alloy idols, get discharged with people's footfalls. 

And they are recharged once a year, with abisheka rituals - when the 13th full moon and Earth transit the Jyeshta-Mula interface. 

- as held in idol worshipping Agama traditions.
