#MountKailash, located in the remote western region of #Tibet, is one of the world's most revered and mysterious mountains.

Standing at an elevation of 6,638 meters (21,778 feet), this striking peak is uniquely shaped with four steep faces that resemble a pyramid, making it visually distinct from other mountains in the #Himalayas. What makes Mount #Kailash so special, however, isn’t just its dramatic appearance but its profound spiritual and cultural significance across multiple religions.

#Sacred Significance
Mount Kailash is considered a sacred site in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and the ancient Bon religion. In Hinduism, it is revered as the abode of Lord Shiva, where he resides with his consort, Parvati, in a state of perpetual meditation. Devotees believe that Mount Kailash is the center of the universe and a direct connection between heaven and earth.

In Buddhism, Mount Kailash is seen as the home of Demchok (or Chakrasamvara), a deity representing #supreme #bliss.

Pilgrims believe that completing a kora, or a circumambulation, of the mountain brings good karma and purifies the soul. Tibetan Buddhists undertake this kora in a clockwise direction, while Bon followers circle it counterclockwise.

For #Jains, Mount Kailash is known as Ashtapada, the place where their first Tirthankara, Rishabhadeva, achieved spiritual #liberation. In the #Bon religion, Mount Kailash is regarded as the seat of the #Sky #Goddess #Sipaimen and a place of immense power.

Pilgrimage and Kora
Every year, pilgrims from around the world travel to Mount Kailash for the challenging kora, a 52-kilometer (32-mile) circumambulation around the mountain. This journey, often done at an altitude of over 4,500 meters (14,764 feet), is believed to be a transformative spiritual experience. Completing just one kora is thought to cleanse negative karma, while completing 108 koras is believed to lead to enlightenment.

Geographical and Environmental Importance
Mount Kailash is the source of some of #Asia's most important #rivers, including the #Indus, #Sutlej, #Brahmaputra, and #Karnali (a major tributary of the #Ganges). These rivers are vital water sources for millions of people across South Asia. The region around Kailash is also rich in unique flora and fauna adapted to the harsh Tibetan Plateau environment.

Forbidden Peak
Climbing Mount Kailash is strictly forbidden out of respect for its spiritual sanctity. Over the years, climbers and explorers have requested permission to ascend, but the mountain remains off-limits. This restriction has preserved its natural state and mystique, as no human has set foot on its summit.

A Place of Mystery
Mount Kailash is shrouded in mystery and local legends, including tales of rapid aging for those who attempt to climb it, and reports of an unusual energy field around it. The mountain has a pyramidal shape, which some believe may be an ancient man-made structure or a center of #cosmic #energy.

Conclusion
Mount Kailash stands as a powerful symbol of #peace, reverence, and spiritual aspiration. Its allure lies not only in its beauty but in its status as an untouched spiritual beacon, attracting pilgrims, #mystics, and adventurers from around the world. For those who witness its grandeur, Mount Kailash is more than a mountain—it’s a deeply sacred place that inspires humility, awe, and spiritual reflection.

Prof. #RobertTemple | A New #Science of #Heaven | Origins Conference
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AbTU9MBre0

The talk begins with an update on #Esna #Temple Project in #Egypt which Robert has been funding. In the main part of the talk Robert shares new knowledge from the most recent advances in a little-known area of science and how this matches many accounts surviving down the ages from #mystics, meditators, people who have survived near-death experiences, inspired sages and shamans, and experiences from dreams and trance states. Robert takes the view that it is reasonable to be sceptical, but can understand how these altered states may have been used in the past to access awareness of the elusive and apparently immaterial ‘Other World’ by shamans and seers over the millennia. Scientific progress is now sufficiently advanced to enable a world of the spirit to be described and explained in a rigorous fashion for the first time. The advances made in the plasma physics in recent years provides a mathematical and physical basis to describe the #soul, or #spirit. These advances make it possible to understand ghosts, for complex plasmas can pass through walls and emerge the same on the other side (Indeed, they can pass through each other and survive intact as well). The ‘Other World’ is material, but it is a different kind of #matter.
#Plasma
Prof. Temple is author of a dozen challenging and provocative books, commencing with the international best-seller, The Sirius Mystery. His books include The Sphinx Mystery, Netherworld, The Crystal Sun, and The Genius of China. He is visiting Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and previously held a similar position at an American university. For many years he was a science writer for the Sunday Times, the Guardian, and writer for Time-Life, Nature and The New Scientist. He is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and has been a member of the Egypt Exploration Society since the 1970s. With his wife, Olivia, he is co-author and translator of the first complete English version of Aesop’s Fables. He has done archaeometric dating work and exploration of closed sites in Egypt and his research into historical accounts of the Sphinx is the first comprehensive survey ever undertaken. http://www.robert-temple.com

#Xavier-Reyes-Ayral on the Passing of Pope Benedict: Are the Chastisements Upon Us?
Are we nearing the End Times?
Many prophesies have pointed hearers back to the #Third #Secret #of #Fatima and the possibility of the martyrdom of a pope.

Inner Sound Meditation is A Required Course, Not An Elective One, in Sant Mat - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

Forget Not the Way of the Sound Current

Initiation In Earlier Times... and Now

Swami Ji Maharaj Opened the Floodgates of Initiation

Thanks to the innovations of Guru Arjan Dev, Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar, Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, and Soamiji Maharaj of Agra, the Path of Initiation into Inner Light and Sound Meditation (Surat Shabd Yoga) has gradually become progressively more and more available to an ever-growing percentage of humanity. "Satsang shall spread far and wide in future." (Last Words of Soamiji Maharaj) "After Swami Ji Maharaj, the floodgates of initiation opened up and many people would be able to get the initiation." (Baba Ram Singh) And the Sant Mat spiritual classic and scripture known as the Anurag Sagar (Kabir's Ocean of Love) predicts that as this Kali Yuga age continues to unfold, the Path of the Masters will be far more well-known and followed than it is at present. But at every step and in each generation of time, Masters have had to intervene and reboot the Path whenever it begins to go off course, "falls into the mouth of Kal", the negative power, the gnostic demiurge or false god, in other words, eaten by illusion, eaten by time. Soamiji Maharaj of Agra once said of spiritual paths: "Without Bhakti [love], they are all hollow and sham, outer husks without a kernel." It is the inner "kernel" or "seed" of Life we’re really after, not developing attachments to institutions or organizations, or going through the motions of holidays, traditions, and rituals, well within the confines of the grinding wheel of fate and transmigration.

One issue with the old Sant Panths of past centuries has been, they divided initiation (deeskha) into two parts: the first initiation into Simran of Sacred Names and Light, the second into the Sound Current. All well and good if practiced, but... if most never get to apply for the Sound initiation, that's a problem. That's a spiritual crisis, if almost nobody receives the initiation into the Sound Current. Eventually, over the course of time, the Way of the Sound Current becomes only the experience of a handful of devotees. In some paths, knowledge of the Sound Current, the Word, the Logos, has been lost altogether. The Masters have always taught that the Path of the Sound Current, the Audible Life Stream, the Shabda, the Naam, is intended for all the true disciples, is a required practice for all, and not an elective practice only for some small minority. Maharshi Mehi said: "Surat Shabda Yoga is the practice of transcending the mind and entering the level beyond the mind, that is, the level of Oneness. The vehicle for this inward journey is Sound. The way to employ Sound and to understand its use is the practical application of Surat Shabda Yoga. This is also known as Nadanusandhana. Surat Shabda Yoga as a means to attain the Unbounded State is an integral and indispensable aspect of the Sant Mat tradition. Any tradition devoid of this essential aspect is not true Sant Mat." (Philosophy of Liberation) So Satgurus such as Sant Tulsi Sahib, Soamiji Maharaj, and Sant Darya Sahib of Bihar would incarnate and reboot the spiritual Path here in this material realm (Pinda Desh), the Ocean of Samsara (World of Changes), so that souls would continue to make spiritual progress following a Living Path of Moksha (liberation, salvation) free of the outer husks of rites, rituals, and earthbound traditions dominated by maya (illusion). "As long as the discipline of the Sound Current is preserved unadulterated, the line of succession will truly continue. But when it is mixed with outer rituals and display of external garbs, My Sound Current will part company. My Divine essence will depart, and the souls will go into the mouth of Kal. I shall then come to this world, and shall proclaim the teaching of the Sound Current again. Proclaiming the teaching, I shall found the line of succession. And emancipating the souls, I shall take them to my Abode. For aeons I have been coming, and imparting the teaching of the true Sound Current." (Sant Dariya Sahib, sounding here more like the cosmic figure of Kabir, Adi Guru of Sant Mat)

"I will make the souls firm in the Shabda of the Gracious Forgiver, Sat Purush. Such souls will be Sahaj [on a natural Path]: pure and content. They will do the devotion of the soul, and they will be the abode of pure qualities. By doing the Simran of Sat Purush they will sing the praise of the Immovable Naam. I will send the souls to Sat Lok... Spreading the Nectar of Naam I will awaken the souls. O Dharam Rai [negative power], listen carefully. I will humble your arrogance. By doing the practice of devotion, they will get the passport and I will connect them with the Naam of Sat Purush. The Negative Power can't come near such a soul, and he will bow down to them when he sees their union with Sat Purush." (Anurag Sagar, Kabir's Ocean of Love)

In Divine Light and Sound, Sat Naam Saheb,

Only the LIVING PRESENT is Ours - The Teachings of Sant Kirpal Singh

"As there are landmarks on earth, so there are landmarks in Time. The past and future are like sealed books to us: the one is in the limbo of oblivion, while the other is in the womb of uncertainty. It is only the LIVING PRESENT that is ours, and we must make the best use of it, ere it slips away through the fingers and is lost forever. Human birth is a great privilege and offers us a golden opportunity. It is for us to make or mar the same, for it is given to each individual to forge his or her own destiny as best he may.” (Kirpal Singh, Standing at the Crossroads of Time)

Kirpal Singh was a spiritual master, prolific writer, publishing scores of books over the years, quoting from most every world scripture, mystic, poet, philosopher, and great master that has ever existed spanning the centuries, very much embodying this same curiosity and inclusive universal spirituality we find present in the teachings of the masters of each generation, of each century.

For those spiritual seekers desiring to be introduced to an advanced school of mysticism and spirituality like Sant Mat, the numerous writings of Sant Kirpal Singh that have been published in English will be extremely helpful.

"Human birth is the highest rung of all creation. It is really a rare blessing which you have got. This has been given to you for attaining Divine Realization and spiritual Perfection. It is a supreme opportunity for striving and obtaining a sublime experience of All-Consciousness. It is to be utilized for this great purpose. The various religions and faiths are so many methods evolved for fulfilling this great purpose of human life. This is the one common basis of all religions. You have been put on the way and given a conscious contact with God-Power residing within you. You have to develop it by regular practice from day to day. To attain this Goal purify your nature by living a good life. Manifest truth, purity, love, selflessness and righteousness in your life and activity. Give up all hatred, eradicate egoism and anger. Eschew violence, pledge yourself to love, sincerity, humility, forgiveness and non-violence. Abandon war. Abandon lust for Power. Fill thy heart with compassion, mercy and universal love. Let the Law of Love prevail amongst you, which should be radiated to all nations and races. Let true religion of heart be the ruling factor of your lives. Love God, Love all, serve all and have respect for all as God is immanent in every form. Preach the Gospel of Oneness. Spread the message of Oneness and live a life of Oneness. There will be peace on earth. This is the mission of my life and I pray it may be fulfilled." (Kirpal Singh)

O Traveler! Seek the Path That Lies Within You — Padavali 52, Maharshi Mehi

O traveler! Seek the path that lies within you,
You and your Beloved are in the same body;
Your Beloved is pervading everywhere, but not being perceived,
Those initiated by Guru are able to recognize Him within their bodies,
O traveler! If you wish to go alone on the path of the Lord,
You look for the path within and do not delay;
The four spheres of darkness, light, sound and soundlessness –
They all lie within the fort of your body,
You stepped down to the darkness, but your beloved is in the sphere of
soundlessness;
Now you again go back to the sphere of soundlessness through the tenth
door,
Pursuing the inner light and practicing the yoga of sound,
Listen to the orchestration of sounds and closely watch the dazzling light,
And go along the path where the five Naubats resonate,
Mount up as you get drawn towards them;
Never think that there are other means of going to the sphere of
soundlessness,
Without the Yoga of vision and the Yoga of sound.
Mehi says, that going along this lone path,
Is the secret path to Divinity, as shown by the saints,
Catching the most subtle one amidst different sounds,
Go along the solitary path, lying within your body.

Astronomy and Spirituality Have Much in Common

Long ago, Giordano Bruno wrote of an infinity of worlds and life in the cosmos: "He is glorified not in one, but in countless suns; not in a single earth, a single world, but in a thousand thousand, I say in an infinity of worlds." As was often the case with the western mystics, he was burned at the stake for sharing his revelations, his "heresy". Such has been the fate of numerous gnostic souls and other mystics. Around that very same time but further to the East in India, Guru Nanak also sang that there are countless earths, spheres, moons, suns oceans, living creatures and beings, millions of skies above skies: "Many millions are the skies and solar systems. Many millions are the moons, the suns and stars. Many millions are the sources of creation and continents. Many millions are the jewel containing oceans. Many times has the universal expanse occurred." And rather than being condemned for his intuitive insights, Guru Nanak is considered to be one of India's greatest spiritual masters and saints. His Morning Prayer (Jap Ji) is sung and recited as sacred scripture by millions.

Today on this Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast we explore the similarities between the empirical, scientific path of astronomy and the intuitive way of the mystics, how both explore space, inner and outer, during the dark hours before the dawn, how both have a lens they use to focus with in order to gaze into realms of subtle light from beyond what is normally perceived, and tune the cosmic radio dial listening for faint signals or sounds coming from beyond the cosmic static. The bigness of the "known" cosmos keeps on getting bigger! Actually, it is our awareness that's growing, seeing more and more of That Which Is. I find astronomy and mysticism have much in common. Like Galileo discovering new worlds through the lens of his telescope, mystics have been trying to tell humanity for eons of something quite similar. The reason why the contemplative state of being is still hidden from most of us is that, unlike Galileo’s telescope, in order to look through this particular lens, the third eye or inner vision, we mustn't be stuck always focusing on the outward sensory impressions, but go in the opposite direction: into Inner Space during contemplative meditation. Look through the lens of the third eye to access the world of within. Tune the inner radio dial, listening for the subtle inner sounds coming from beyond the silence.

"If your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of Light." (Yeshua) "With the Divine Eye, which is purified and surpasses the human, a bhikkhu surveys a thousand worlds." (Buddha) "Within this earthen vessel are bowers and groves, and within it is the Creator. Within this vessel are the seven oceans and the unnumbered stars. The touchstone and the jewel-appraiser are within. And within this vessel the Eternal soundeth, and the spring wells up. Kabir says: 'Listen to me, my Friend! My Beloved Lord is within.'" "The Light of one soul is equal to that of sixteen suns!" (Kabir) Rumi says, "We are stars wrapped in skin -- The light you are seeking ... has always been ... within."

IMAGE (Public Domain, Courtesy of NASA): "Stephan's Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope reveals Stephan's Quintet in a new light." And with this image there's also an "ultra deep field" of almost countless distant galaxies.

In Divine Love, Light, and Sound,

There are several techniques described, the specific details of which are taught to students at the time of their deeksha (initiation) into the meditation practice:

1) developing a daily routine, the habit of meditating at the same time or times each day; 2) proper posture so that one is truly focused at the Third Eye and remains alert and awake; 3) Manas Japa (Simran), a mantra repetition of a sacred word done mentally; 4) Manas Dhyan, the technique of mentally visualizing a form of God or one's teacher; 5) Drshti Yoga, the technique of focusing upon an Infinitesimal Point (Inner Light Meditation). This Point will eventually blossom into inner Light or visions of Light. One gazes into the middle of the darkness or the Light one sees while in meditation. Think of the Infinitesimal Point as being like a laser pointer or cursor keeping one focused. One passes from scene to scene and vision to vision always looking toward the center; 6) Nada Sadhana (Surat Shabd Yoga, Inner Sound Meditation), the practice of inner spiritual hearing; and, 7th) reaching the State of Kaivalya, Oneness with the Supreme Being in the Pure Conscious Realm. The ultimate goal is to merge into the upper level of Kaivalya known as Sabdatita [Sabtatit] Pad – the State beyond the Sound, the Ultimate Reality of God in the Nirguna or Formless State, also described with terms such as Anami (Nameless), Anadi (Soundlessness), and Ocean of Love.

God is the Ocean of Love.

The John the Baptist Vegetarian Podcast: https://youtu.be/rBM34Cm4laE
The mention of John the Baptist eating "locusts" in the New Testament originally referred to locust beans, also known as carob beans....not bugs. Some describe "Saint John's bread" or "manna bread" as being made of locust bean flour, also known as carob flour, turned into a kind of Middle-eastern flat bread.

Thankfully, there have been honest, loving, radiant, Godly beings that have graced this planet with their enlightened compassion. They work with those who seek the Path of the Masters and successfully practice Surat Shabd Yoga (Inner Light and Sound meditation) in a way that is almost identical to the Ideal spiritual path described by Swami Ji Maharaj of Agra, Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, and Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar, with a rich mystical approach to meditation practice, travelling quite far along in their journey back to God. These initiates have very real experiences commencing with their meditation practice.

"The true gurus live a simple life and morally upright lifestyle; they stay away from the pomp and show of the display of power. For example, they do not have expensive cars and opulent ashrams. They do not show favoritism among their followers... They do not consume prohibited foods (alcohol, animal products, etc...), nor do they instruct their followers for their consumption... They do not pretend to be in Samadhi nor do they put on a public display of fasting. They do not cling to a particular caste and do not favor religious customs. They do not care about their appearance nor try to impress others through their outer appearance." (Swami Vyasanand)

"Another common misconception is that prophets, saints and mystics search for 'new' truth. Rather, what they do is to simply remove the layers of dirt -- of accumulated misinterpretations -- that have corrupted the truth. Then the living teacher will bring forth the very same truth in a new light. The original truth must repeatedly be presented to suit the current age." (Swami Santsevi Ji Maharaj)

"One wishing to reach one's home should seek the Satguru’s shelter. This will help one pursue the pathway leading to one’s true home." (Maharshi Mehi)

"Feed your heart in conversation with someone harmonious with it; seek spiritual advancement from one who is advanced. If you seek to know God, sit at the feet of the Saints." (Rumi)

"All Scriptures, Sages, Saints and Mahatmas have laid great emphasis on devotion to a Master, because without devotion all our spiritual practices take us only half-way and do not bring proper results." (Hazur Baba Sawan Singh)

"The teachings of all Saints are essentially the same. They speak of the 'Kingdom of Heaven' which is within. They show the path and impart instructions to attain it. They do not claim to teach something new or different from what other Saints have taught. Tulsi Sahab declared that he was giving the same teachings as those of Kabir Sahab, Nanak Sahab, Dadu Sahab and other Saints. Tulsi Sahab, for the first time, used the expression 'Sant Mat' or 'The Teachings of the Saints' to stress the basic unity of the teachings of all Saints." (entry for Sant Tulsi Sahib in, White Paper on the Religion of Sants and RadhaSoami Faith)

God is the Ocean of Love.

In Divine Love, Light and Sound, Radhasoami, Peace Be to You,

The Odes of Solomon: Mystical Songs from the Time of Jesus, by James Bean: https://sant-mat.medium.com/the-odes-of-solomon-mystical-songs-from-the-time-of-jesus-by-james-bean-bb994ab10893

This mysterious collection of ancient psalms known as “the Odes of Solomon,” written in Syriac, a dialect of the Aramaic language, has been described as “some of the most beautiful songs of peace and joy that the world possesses.” These mystical poems and prayers remind me of Rumi and other Sufi poets. Sometimes I refer to the Odes as ‘the would-be book of New Testament psalms’, and I find the Odes to be a very spiritual book, one of the very best examples of an apocryphal writing that got misnamed, misfiled and misplaced somewhere along the way...
