LIVE event: guru nānak candra grahana bhajan

You’re invited to a guru nānak jayanti special live🔥event🕠during Tuesday evening’s moonrise🎑eclipse: bharani🌟candra🌝grahanā, sanctified by 4 aspects, including 3 special trainees from vi-śākhā: 🌞

1. ourSelf🕉️, 

2. our🧠intellect🟢 & 

3. our🤍sustainability of life🫁breath=love💗along with 

4. our🧙🏿‍♂️mysticism⚕️, in their immediately-imaginative neighbourhood of svāti, 

5. all together aspected by our🪐patience too, 

6. in turn aspected borderline by our🔴perseverance in solitude. 

It sure is a party like no other & your host (yours truly) will be eagerly awaiting your company!

Countdown to meet & merge online, exactly the way the🌏body , the🌝mind & the🌞soul are aligning on a straight line during the upcoming total lunar eclipse with the🧬body’s shadow on the🫶mind, temporarily blocking the light of🕉️ourSelf, blanking the full🌕mind & thus creating a wonderful opportunity for🧘🏻‍♀️sādhanā of the highest effectiveness… Ciao soon.

2022🪔dīp-āvali’s🌌solar☀️eclipse🌥️🌚is followed by ❤️‍🔥dév🪔dīp-āvali’s🌌lunar🌝eclipse🎑exactly a fortnight later, as is typical of🌑lunisolar🌕eclipses every year, hyper-fertile for spiritual practices@sādhanā of all kinds. Recollect that🪔dīp-āvali🌌was significant for those of us on the paths of spiritual🧙🏿‍♂️wisdom@jñāna-yōgā & skilful🧎🏻‍♀️technique@rāja-yōgā🧘🏻‍♀️. Complimenting it synergetically is ❤️‍🔥dév🪔dīp-āvali🌌. Commemorated grandly by our passionate rājasik guṇās@dévās in vārāṇasi@kāśi🔥, ❤️‍🔥dév🪔dīp-āvali🌌 is significant for those of us on the path of BMI-dissolving🫠emotional🥹devotion@bhakti-yōgā & tirelessly-selfless💪action@karma-yōgā, amplifying that typical quality of every pournami🌕, further power-amplified by the total lunar eclipse. No wonder then that guru nānak, who particularly emphasised bhakti- & karma-yōgās, was born on a 🔥dév🪔dīp-āvali🌌 553 years ago.  What a terrifically-potent combo, sirji, ma’amji, boys & girls⁉️ Let’s not miss it. Simply📿chant🗣️along with me for an hour.  

GUIDELINES for maximising spiritual impact: 

1. We’ll be online soon. So please have an early, light & raw🥗lunch, that too only if necessary, resulting in a reasonably empty stomach condition at least from 2:00🕑PM IST onwards until the end of our chant around 6:30🕡. 

2. Your health permitting, please try to sit upright with a nearly vertical spine. 

3. Be seated as still as is feasible for your BMI throughout the chant. 

4. Depending on your own stability & comfort levels, hold either the vyāṇa mudrā (join tips of the pointing/index & middle fingers to the tip of the thumb, keeping the little & ring fingers straight) or the ādi mudrā (thumb within fist) throughout, with both your hands, though I’ll be using a rudr-ākśā📿rosary in my right🫱hand. 

5. After 107 chants, I’ll slow down just for the 108th to let you know that it’s the last count before we shift so that you don’t need to worry about counting. 

6. Sync with my chanting pace & be loud enough yourself to make every cell of your body reverberate with the sacred sounds. 

7. Let the mind gently witness the specific points in the subtle body that are indicated in the conformal mapping in the above picture, which will also remain in my background during the live event. You may touch or reach out to the corresponding points on your physical body to enhance stability but continue to hold the mudrā even while you do this. 

8. In the first half, we’ll chant each of the 8 lines of the bhajan separately (108 times each) to familiarise ourselves with the corresponding subtle energetic spots as indicated. 

9. In the second half, we will chant all 8 lines combined as a set 108 times, shifting attention to the corresponding subtle energy spots, thus shifting from concentration or dhāraṇā to deconcentration or dhyāṇā & balanced intellect or samā-dhī. 

Let’s all together travel

1. from the pinnacle of purity:sat-tvā: literally, the truth that thou art@the subtle pituitary-pineal 3rd eye ājñā👁️cakrā 

2. to the physical ceiling & metaphysical gateway of the ♾️-petalled subtle fontanelle: sahasrārā, 

3. followed by the kārmik getaway of the mātṛu-pitṛu, conformally mapped to a spot above the head & 

4. finally, the ultimate realisation of the guru-gāyatri, in a region beyond space-time 

with a 4-stage🚀sounding rocket for liftoff & transport, namely the innocuous-sounding 4-line bhajan. 

Zoom into the serially-numbered & subtly-mapped zones of the thumbnail pic to imbibe deep inner insights into the bhajan well before we catch up with our oneness. 

See if you can imbibe the lyrics, which we shall utilise as a potent vehicle for our joyride🎢, nay ecstatic🤩bliss-ride rather:

“śambhō-śaṅkar umā-mahéśvar, 

gauri-priya sadā-śivā |

gaṅgā-dharam̐ hr̥ṣikéś-varam̐, 

āūm̐-kāram̐ vāhé-guru ||”

For those who’d like to practice chanting well before the LIVE event, an audio of the bhajan (with 108 chants) can be shared on request. 

We shall all together chant the above 108 times during the total lunar eclipse arising & rising in bharani nakṣatrā from 5:49 PM to 6:19 PM on Tuesday, November 8th 2022 in namma béṅgaḷūrū, with only slight variations in timing elsewhere. But we’ll start our live event@5:30🕠IST itself, 19 minutes prior to🌝moonrise. Try to be on an empty stomach at least from 2:00🕑PM onwards to maximise the spiritual impact of the kunḍalini⚕️rise, all through the😇greasy🥹grace🙌of Mother🌬️Nature & her astronomical🌌extravaganza.
