The Spiritual Revolution
Check: do you feel cool?
In many times of the history, many people had to fight for their freedom or they had to sustain a revolution for their emancipation. These revolutionary movements have been important because they allowed humanity to go ahead in its evolution.
But, strange enough, this freedom and this welfare, that we have struggled so much to gain, are not giving us a real long-lasting happiness…

Shiva Tattwa
Shri Shiva
In Indian tradition, the Spirit is represented by Lord Shiva, the God who lives on mount Kailash, completely immersed in deep meditation and beaming with joy.
He is completely detached.
He is humbly dressed and does not care of mundane things. Even when He married His beloved Parvati, He went to the party riding a bull, followed by any kind of funny people (with one eye, without nose, etc).
He is so detached and pure that everything in His presence is automatically purified.
This eternal and divine principle (in Sanskrit is called Shiva Tattwa) is reflected inside us in the form of Pure Spirit.

Pure Love
Pure Love is not something that can be seen.
It can’t be shown.
It can’t be shared.
Pure Love is not exciting and not even a dreamer.
It is not something that fills the mind of memories or hopes.
Pure Love delicately enlightens our being, fills every gap and expands to infinity.
Pure Love is silent and through the silence let us know everything, inside us, outside us… beyond every discrimination.
Nothing does to be known or to be appreciated.
Pure Love not even love.
Exists.
Exists, only exists and enjoys of its existence.
Prayer to the Divine Mother Bhavani
Oh Divine Mother!
Father, mother, husband, wife, children or friends
None of them belongs to me eternally.
Knowledge, intellect, mind and will power are not eternal.
Oh Mother of the Universe – You only are my Saviour, my eternal shelter.

What is life?
A moment of life
It is interesting to notice that the words of ancient sages are still valid in modern times. It’s because we are walking the same path that takes us from our human level to a higher level of spiritual realization.
Patanjali is one of these sages that collected his lectures in the book “Yoga Sutra“. In the second chapter (Sadhana Pada) he describes which are the afflictions that disturb our awareness (read below).
The Love of the World

Commonly we are used to think that love is a feeling we can exchange with animated world: people, animals and even plants.
If we give love to a person, we expect that this love will be returned by that person. Many people probably experienced the same with their pets or eventually with the plants they taking care of.
But I have recently experienced that this law can be extended to the whole world.

If we just could silent our mind for a moment, we could realize the infinity of messages that Nature sends to us.
There is one song of Pocahontas, the famous Disney’s animation, that touches me particularly, as it perfectly describes the state of communion with Nature and the beauty of being part of it.
Pocahontas is an American Indian girl, daughter of the chief of the her village.
Tree of Religions

All the religions of the world are the branches of a unique universal religion, that joins all the people of the world and allows their spiritual ascent.
In the past, many prophets and divine incarnations had come to this world, to teach us how we can keep us righteous and lead a saintly life so that we can finally reach the ultimate goal to become one with God, to reach our enlightment. These masters took birth in different times and in different places; they had to speak different languages and use different symbols to allow people of their time to undertand.
Anyway their teachings are all equally important for us, because they care of different aspects of our spirituality. For example, Shri Jesus taught us the importance of forgiveness, while Shri Krishna taught us the importance of pure detachment.

Often, taken by our numerous interests and duties, we forget that the simplest things in our life are those that give us the biggest joy… like Tagore tells us in this sweet and lovely story between a child and his mother.
Silence… sound… music
Sarasvati playing veena
It came the time, a timeless time, when from the silence the first sound was generated, the primordial sound: OM.
OM is the sound of the primordial energy (the Adi Shakti) that created the whole universe and whose residual, called in Sanskrit Kundalini, resides in the sacred bone of every human being.
Therefore it is also the sound of the Kundalini.
It is the sound that is at the bases of every mantra. In Sanskrit, manana means to meditate. A mantra is that which is uttered in meditation. It is the phonetization of vibrations into specific sound which has a direct effect on the inner being.
