Lesson1 | Phase 7
Introduction To Prosperity Ritual
(Lord Satyanarayan Ritual)
Mantras alone do not do wonders for the chanters. The chanter is required to develop required emotion, imagination (bhavana) and feelings towards the deity that he is following (which can be Guru or any other divine energy).
Man cannot have the imagination of the divine energy without giving a form to it. So based on the divine energies and their duties, the deities appear in various forms of human bodies. To awaken bhavana (good and pure feelings, emotions) towards the divinity, the external rituals are done.
Rituals put in action. The meaning of ritual is to unite your mind, body and emotions. That’s when the mind and intellect get cleaned. The external actions (rituals) when they generate good emotions, then you will start generating good intentions, good thoughts towards all people and situations in the world.
In India many people chant various mantras and they also do various rituals but those rituals do not pay them any benefits because, their intentions behind the rituals are not usually right. Their intentions would also be wrong and they do all those rituals out of attachment towards their personal life. Rituals yield best results when rituals are GIVEN BY THE GURU. Guru’s intentions behind the given rituals play a major role, when the disciples do the rituals. At the call of the Guru, all divine energies would assemble to serve the humanity through his disciples. Guru’s intentions are always about elevating his disciples and the humanity. Those intentions not only elevate the disciples in terms of soul and mind but also materialistically in their lives.
With love and kindness towards all the disciples, Guru guides the disciples in doing some rituals that would help them in all aspects of their lives. Many people chant the mantras but they do not carry any emotion, good imagination and feelings in their actions. Bhavana and emotion is essence of every action of human. That emotion only generates the ENERGY behind the actions.
In order to generate these emotions, instead of giving COMPLICATED MANTRAS in the Satyanarayan Ritual, I give you all THE ESSENCE OF THE BHAVANA (imagination) so you can imagine in common language and experience as if you are communicating with the invoked divine energies in the ritual. You will experience that love, devotion, bhavana and emotions towards all deities in the ritual.
So instead of giving complicated mantras I present the INVOKING METHODOLOGY of deities in the ritual OUT OF LOVE in the ritual. When you invoke out of love (plus with the intention behind the Guru), the divine energies would literally be present in your house during the ritual.
So, do not see these words as regular language. Even Veda mantras uttered without this great bhavana (imagination), the feelings would not reach the divine. So the essence of all mantras is the BHAVANA (our feelings and imagination) which will only reach the divine. Without those feelings, love and imagination, mantras uttered are just dead ones and mechanical ones. They do not actually bring the divine energy to your ritual place. That is the reason why all doers of rituals do not get any benefits. Mechanical ritual worships do not get any benefits. So even if you are using your own mother tongue or in English
In this month, I will give you all required information about the ritual so you can prepare well for the ritual in the next month or phase. This phase duration is going to be just 30 days as this month would present all the information about the ritual. You can continue practicing the required kriyas and mantras (you can refer to the next lesson in a consolidated way). You are all busy going to offices and businesses. So I am not making you run in your spiritual practices. Once you know the background, you will prepare for the ritual after 30 days. I will give two options to do the ritual, one happens in short cut (which takes 30 minutes) and the other that can be done as it has to be done (takes 1 hour). As usually I do not enforce anyone in doing anything. If you are interested you can do the ritual on your as given in the lessons. Some of you Indian families know how to do this ritual (which they do usually with the help of a priest). So if you prefer it that way, you can go for it. If you do not find any priests etc and if you have faith in the procedures given in the lessons, you can follow this. If you do this ritual with your life partner (without forcing them) you can do. Else, you can do this ritual on your own. But if it is done with the life partner and the children it would be great (without any force)
So you will know in this phase about …
- Knowing about the ritual
- Stories of Shree Satyanaryana Ritual – You also have a download format of this, which you can download and print or keep it on your digital devices
- Technical Understanding the Yantra (there are two formats of this one is a small one and the other one is a bigger one you will have to print this)
- Things needed for the ritual – you can download this checklist and prepare for the ritual next month.
In the next phase, you will be given the ritual with audio and video based directions. In the meantime, if you are interested, you can digest the whole ritual related information into your system and prepare with all the materials needed for the ritual.
