Hi ...am pasting a transcript of the talk
before the Sounds Of Water Meditation we gathered for on Akshaye Triti day! It
is quite a fascinating read! Will send the transcript of the actual mediation
tomorrow... you may read it, or actually do it ...!
Dearest all, welcome to a very beautiful and auspicious occasion- for
each one personally, and for mother earth. Nothing I can say, no words, now
or in the meditation, can express to you the real reason for our gathering… and
so just be open to it at subtle levels - beyond the words – through your energy
fields… indeed be like water- receptive; know that like drops of water we
collect here to form a larger body of water or energy field…a sea of
consciousness… towards enabling a vital happening…
I will begin with what this meditation is really about…how it
developed… because this ‘background’ captures that inexpressible… indefinable
essence of today- Rumi calls it essence of essence; so listen meditatively... which means pay full attention, yet lightly…
not seeking so much ‘to understand’ but to listen…not grappling with questions
but allowing my images to flit across the surface of your still pool… allowing
my words to drop into the pool one by one… so that they will settle somewhere
deep within. Closing eyes will help – as the conscious analyzing mind rests in
that, and the subconscious accepting mind translates ‘words’ into their essence
within you:
Since a few weeks I kept hearing…receiving… the words “coming of the
waters”… “2nd coming of the waters” and alongside… I would see images of Shiva
(and alternately myself) sitting cross legged -receiving a flow of water- the
Ganga river -on our head. I did not think too much of all of this as I
receive realms of seeming words and images
day to day … I have learnt to let them come… pool within me…and come out
through my writings, classes, meditations, discourses. At some point I started ‘hearing’... tuning into… sounds of water;
again as I hear lots of inner sounds…
the universal Om (by the way it doesn’t sound exactly like the word Om!) …
another sound I call Shiva’s drums etc… I only observed this was different…
sounds of water yes, but not exactly physical water. I am speaking in linear
time but it was all happening simultaneously…I was also being urged to do a group meditation based on
sounds of water; at some level it was all building up… and I was sort of
wondering when to hold it as I already had two medit groups going on. I have
learnt not to ‘plan’ … to let things ‘happen’… and at some point I spontaneously wrote out the email to
announce it…looked for a suitable day… as Monday was my only free day in the
week I sort of honed into that and discovered it was Akshaye Triti …and though
oh wow… good day… even though seemingly not connected to all these words,
images sounds I was supposed to conduct… but anyways as it seemed an ideal
date…I sent out the mail…and even as I did…I relaxed! The sounds, images,
urgings within me…went into a sort of soft focus … I wondered a little about
why Akshaye triti… but even as I left the questioning… over the week… amazing…amazing input came in …both from
within… and the outer world… linking it all up in such amazing manner that this
is what I need to share before we start the meditation-as that all important
background within each of you …on which the meditation will make a deeper
significant impact:
Now... to understand the 2nd Coming of waters that we are
gathered today for- we must be aware of the 1st coming of waters!
And simply put (because we could go into this for hours…) the first coming of
the waters refers to that happening… when Source/Void/Shakti/Supreme Yin…
poured Itself/Herself out to enable the human experience…
Mythologically (When we refer to mythology we refer to a time line or
dimension different than ours, whereas history refers to our time and space
coordinate) planet Earth initially had no water; this according to me
refers to the initial human phase – which was a tangible but not yet physical
experience (big difference in the two- tangible is when something exists in
energy terms and physical is its denser projection/reflection). Again we can speak on this endlessly, so in brief and in
reference to today’s meditation … this phase when there were no waters refers
to that stage when the human experience was more mental… abstract… in the finer
subtler realms… somewhat like our dream state… not 3D… not ‘real’ as in
physical… which only occurred after the first coming of the waters- as water
bought ‘life’ as we know it; water added the substance to make this experience
physical… and thus is water so important for life in the physical realm. It was
a phase when we knew we were Gods, playing a game or having a beautiful
tangible experience of Self … The veils had not wholly developed. it was
spirit exploring itself tangibly as the primordial human known esoterically as ‘Adam Kadmon’… who remained connected
with his Godself yet explored Self through a new realm and experience! Adam
Kadmon in the language of Kabbalah literally means God-Man; it is the term for
the original template or design for the human race…
when ‘man’ was not male and female but a perfect blend of both! This according to me…is the Vedic Satya
Yuga! When man lived as an ideal! The phase of truth and empowered
beingness! Naturally- because mankind was at this point ‘God’ experiencing
itself through a unique dimension! And at some point in this experience…
exploration… we as gods or gods as man chose to play a bigger game …
explore Self in a deeper manner… experience Self through a richer realm…we chose
to wear the veils and play the game of separation! The game of duality-adharma!
But do glimpse the complete confidence of a Self that willfully enters into
such an experience; do view the complete establishment in All That it Is that
allows self to seemingly go so ‘far’ from it all to enhance it further ; do glimpse the unison that permits the
individuations and separation this deeper experience or game required…
Thus did Source/Void/Shakti/Supreme Yin… known to us as ‘water’…
symbolic of the essence ... not the physical really… symbolic of the
unconscious … symbolic of the motion/momentum …. symbolic of the very source of
all that is… pour down in the first coming of the waters- as the veils yes; but as e-motion (I in motion) too…(Before this the experience was in the
stillness of awareness realm) as Love
indeed… in its tangible physical experience … towards a richer deeper experience of Self. Indeed towards that
experience of Itself that comes ‘closest’ to its Absolute Truth -its Pure
Beingness- to the void w/o the veils experience that this was only a prelude to
… a setting of the stage… round one if you like; so that in round ‘two’ we
could move back into that original Adam Kadmon experience … of the Satya yuga
in Vedic terms…but this time physically… a true reflection of Void/Isness!
Heaven on earth indeed! Richness even other higher finer realms don’t have… What
today’s gathering/meditation is a harbinger to!
Thus ‘water’ enabled the tangible experience to become physical- the
closet reflection of the void/supreme yin beingness-thus is earth ¾ water… as
are our bodies… thus is water life force
on the physical planet! If you are with me so far...then simply put…the
Satya yuga-Adam Kadmon –the initial human experience had of course some aspect
of water –as nothing can be w/o void presence… but was more fire (water and
fire create mist/air = universal mind = Brahma) a Shiva realm experience… of
awareness … more mental… abstract; and only after the first coming of the
waters did it become humanity as we know it now- physical! (Of course as earth
experience is a blend do fire, water, air, earth, ether … all elements are
required to sustain us)
So if we view this through the YUGA’S- the initial mental realm
experience was SATYA Yuga and after the first coming of the waters did it go
into TRETA Yuga! In terms of the
western view- the genesis- fall
from Eden-or Grace- the Adam and eve story…. for we then donned the veils…
became physical beings with spirit intact in us only as kundalini…we divided
from the one yin-yang humans to separate males and females! The ‘serpent’ was
none other than void/unconsciousness/Source choosing to take the game deeper
and thus urging the feminine aspect of Self! And thus promising to remain
intact within, as the game unraveled… source placing itself in each
individuation! Eve tempts ‘Adam’… as the feminine yin aspect of the whole
‘tempts’ the masculine abstract aspect of the whole … as thus far they had
played the game on the mental (Shiva) realm of awareness! With an ‘apple’-
because it is symbolic of the material plane as apples have a five pointed star
embedded in them and a five pointed star is the yantra –template - of the
higher material plane! And if you
understand this as a Self chosen exploration… you will understand that the
seemingly declining Yugas thereafter- Dwarpa Yuga – Kali Yuga- are not really
humanity descending or becoming evil or worse as usually seen… but spirit
entering deeper into the game- its seeming trials and tribulations and learning
… indeed stages of the game picking up … till it turns back towards ‘home’ or
goal achieved… like every game does …. And that’s what today is about…this point
of turning back home… back to the golden age yes, but this time - with the
expertise harnessed through this phase-
in material ways! On the physical realm!
Not experiencing Self as the perfect human only in the abstract/mental
realm … but here and now! And that’s
why the second coming of waters!
Thus the “2nd coming
of waters” that I kept hearing…thus the Ganga pouring onto Shiva’s head that I
kept seeing… thus this ‘second coming of
the waters’ meditation that today is about… is Source again, Void again, Shakti
again- Supreme yin again… the return of the Divine Feminine! And this time not as veils- not as separation-
not towards density… but towards the end of this stage of the game to take us
back into the finer vibrations that we were and have further enhanced through
the denser experience. . . into oneness and wholeness that we were and have
enhanced through separation from the whole and as male and female
selves…(that’s why male and females ‘roles’ are getting more and more neutral …
in balance… uniting… now; initially we had to explore self as very male and
very female through those era’s where the roles were demarcated ) indeed into the higher and finer expression
of source- its abundance and beauty and love and fulfillment! Indeed not moving
away from the physical but towards its exalted state … higher plane… finer
vibrations- paradise indeed!
At this point also understand that the floods
were not the coming of the waters in this sense - they came - yes source
poured- dharma poured itself whenever the game was moving too much away from
the divine game plan…! So Atlantis…Noah’s flood etc… came in correction… to set
the game back on divine track! This is why the gods proclaim in the Vedas- “jab
jab adhrama badhega main aaoonga” (I will come whenever the equation tilts too
far away from That I am)… this is why
the treta yuga had so many avatars-
Pashuram, Krishna, Rama etc…(all avatars of Vishnu-source- void indeed * ) This is why so many texts, scriptures belong to
that era - as the game had begin and we (as individuated gods separated from
their all knowingness) needed the
guidelines, the coaching, the game plan! The Buddha’s, Mahavir, Jesus etc
were those individuated aspects- humans- who finished the game and realized
their true beingness- to aid others still playing the game! They were the
perfected humans in physical ways!
In summation… the first coming of the waters refers to the
deepening of the human game- the veils- the separation etc; and the second
coming of the waters that we celebrate today refers to this stage coming to a
close towards its more exalted stage….round two if you like!

Now I will speak about how this all connects with Akshaye triti! Why
this meditation could take place on no other day than this! How it all pieced
together within a few days…from eureka’s I received from within and random
lines spoken by others or from news paper clippings… triggering each other…
till the larger picture of today’s mediation unfurled.
Firstly, AKSHAYE TRITI is about material abundance and fulfillment!
And indeed both the fist and second coming of waters is about this material
experience of Self and the exploration of its abundance in tangible ways! Also
of course … by invoking ‘water’ through its sounds (vibrations are the purest
‘form’ of anything with form) we are invoking ,getting in touch with Source/Void/Shakti/… the womb…the pool… the source
of all abundance! We are bringing it alive within us.
Secondly, today is known as Ma Akshaye = Ma symbolizing this Yin bounteous source; and Akshaye literally meaning
infinite expansion; thus today, Akshaye triti, symbolizes the infinite
expansion of abundant source; today symbolizes the infinitely expanding
experience of ‘That’ abundance, which source chooses to explore in tangible
material ways; thus every year this day celebrates abundance and its tangible
and physical expression …and this year… today… Akshaye triti and this sounds of
water mediation celebrates the move towards its richer deeper finer expression
and fulfillment!
The third thing to strike me was that Akshaye triti is when the Sun and
Moon are supposedly both shining at their peak! And but of course- because
this symbolizes the conscious awareness (Shiva- sun) of all that he/it is
(Shakti moon); or Shakti (pure beingness/unconscious) becoming aware of all
that she/it is in the eyes of Shiva-in the medium of awareness! And thus they
both shine in full glory today on earth! The physical planet! In awareness of
this bounty …and abundant beingness!
Even as all of this was unraveling within me…a friend told me that
traditionally they pour water on their shivaling’s from Shivratri upto Akshaye
triti! This sort of brought together for me, in subtle ways, all that I was
receiving …and then hey presto I read a discarded newspaper few days later than
its published date… and it mentions that Akshaye triti is when the Ganga poured
on Shiva and the start of the Treta yuga! More so, it’s the birthday of
Parsuram, a Vishnu (Void/source*) avatar … who (amongst other things) had saved
the earth from drowning in the waters! Immediately I connected this as
symbolizing that as the first waters (void/source) had ‘poured’… and humanity
(or gods playing the abstract human game) were flung into the game (willfully)
of separation/veils…Vishnu (source itself) had to step into bring its/his game
into a playable balance… to save it from
drowning… being ‘rained’ out!
I found it amazing that while I had known of Akshaye triti for quite a
few years now, also done Akshaye triti meditation …all of this information…
came only now! Indeed last year we celebrated Akshaye triti with an out of
the blue Narayana session… and
always wondered why! While I knew
Narayana symbolized the Whole … Brahman…ever expanding and that seemed to fit-
it is only this year that Akshaye triti and Narayna’s link appear everywhere in front of me -even a
pandal outside a friends house showing
this scenario! I now understood that Narayana also symbolized this awareness of
‘his’ abundant beingness in different forms and thus is he remembered today! Krishna’s (again Vishnu avatar *) butter from
the pot actually has the same connotation… the sweet… rich taste of the
physical experience of sources abundance and bounty! Akha teej was being celebrated on a T.V show called balika badhu…
and again I got the same eureka- ‘girls’ celebrating their physicality through
dress, jewels, gifts and food!
Thus is Aksyaye triti a good day to buy jewels and gold! Thus is it a
great day for anything physical… shifting into homes, marriages etc! For it
actually celebrates the physical experience of divine abundance! And this
year, today… it celebrates more... it heralds
the beginning of a new phase of this physical experience- towards a deeper, richer, finer expression… we have
done with round one and its learning… and are readying for round 2… heaven on
earth…paradise indeed. And this is what
we have gathered here for today….to enable that for self and humanity…to create
a sea of consciousness here akin to Shiva and receive the second coming of the
waters! So
Note: The reason for the * every time
I mentioned Vishnu as Void/Shakti is because to me, and I later discovered that
this is also mentioned in some of the Vedic interpretations- Vishnu is actually
the Supreme yin force/Void… depicted as male in an era when God couldn’t
feminine! To me, in brief, Shiva represents the yang awareness God aspect; and
Vishnu the Yin beingness void aspect.
Meditation transcript is the next post after this!
