We are in a phase of intense inner Awakening and churning. It may not be pleasant journey for all, but is necessary. We are after all in the transition to a period of Truth and Purity. Naturally for this to manifest, the existing dirt and darkness has to be cleansed and we as individuals have to evolve Spiritually.
The present phase is different for each individual. For some it is very tough and for some it is smooth progress. The period reflects our inner state and the results of our efforts. The more we embrace the Spiritual values and manifest them, the easier it becomes.
Spiritual progress is not easy and cannot be achieved with haste. It takes constant effort over many years. The events and situations manifest in our life for a reason. They help us to understand our inner nature better so that it can be addressed. Blaming life, the circumstances or trying to avoid the issue is not going to help us move past them. We have to make sustained, sincere efforts.
Plenty of guidance and assistance is available from the Divine and the Rishis to help us, at every possible occasion. It is through our efforts that we connect to these and avail them.

The past month has been amazing. Many wonderful and important energies were released during the past two eclipses in July and from ParaBrahama. It continues into this month as well. The coming Solar eclipse will expose more truths and hidden aspects— both individually and globally. They also bring answers to many queries as well as open doorways to our inner prayers.
Irrespective of how busy we are, let us find time for our Meditation and Sadhana. Balancing the demands of our busy life with our Spiritual aspect is important.
In the coming months, we shall have the presence of many Divine Personalities on the Earth. Let us make efforts through our Meditation to connect to them and absorb as much energies as possible.
These energies will cleanse various inner aspects of ours as well as our blocks and issues. They will heal and repair as well as build on the energies and Light present within. The energies also build up hope and Light within, as we battle our way through this period.

All of us go through periods of stress, some more than the others. Very few are able to tune into their Inner Peace and be in that state. It is almost as if Peace is becoming a “luxury” rather than the norm. This also begins to reflect on our positive state of mind and calmness.
The Rishis have devised a simple technique help us with this. This technique can be practice anywhere especially when we are stressed and want some calm and peace. It can also be practiced systematically when we want to work on the inner aspects of Peace.

On this day, the function of Raksha Bandhan is also celebrated here in India which is the occasion of strengthening the bonds between a brother and sister. The Rishis mention that we can also use the occasion to protect ourselves from the darkness and negativity and indulge in Peace, Harmony and Light.
