Gist of Stotram: Oh Mother Annapurna! Residing in the city of Kashi (Body) grant me the grace of Spiritual Knowledge and Freedom from Worldly desires to make my MIND MEDITATIVE!!

Commentary:

Maa Sharda descended on earth to feed Lord Adi Shankaracharya and his 4 disciples – Head of school of thought of Vedas – Sage Padmapadacharya, Sage Sureshwaracharya, Sage Hastamalaka and Sage Totakacharya. Totakacharya was very feeble minded. Lord Shankaracharya was teaching “Para-Vidya” to his 3 disciples and Totakacharya (Head of School of Thought of Vedas – Badri ka ashram) has gone to take water. Other 3 disciples were mocking Totakacharya that he could not understand a bit of what Lord himself was teaching as he was not conversant of Sanskrit. Totakacharya has immense love and faith for his Guru Lord Adi Shankaracharya. By the grace of Shankara, Totakacharya started speaking Sanskrit and immediately composed famous Totakashtakam in praise of his Sadhguru Lord Adi Shankaracharya himself. All other 3 disciples become speechless to listen the famous Totakashtakam from the mouth of Sage Totakacharya.

Maa Annapoorna is residing as “Brahmand Mandodari” in the city of Kashi (Body) and with her grace you can attain Spiritual Knowledge and Freedom from Worldly desires and anyone MIND can become MEDITATIVE.

Coming to the commentary of MEDITATIVE MIND- A Meditative Mind has nothing to do with Yoga or Asanas or Pranayama etc. They are the aids to achieve MEDITATIVE MIND. You can practice “SURYA-NAMASKAAR”. It is most beneficial in this Yuga atleast for Bharat irrespective of what caste, color, creed etc. you belongs to. Father of Yoga- Maharshi Patanjali who systematically arranged Yoga to achieve NIRVIKALPA SAMADHI is not for the people of BHARAT. We are the land of PURANAS and KARMA-YAGYA BHOOMI. PATANJALI YOGA is not for BHARAT as of now. This school of thought and “Kriya Yoga” propagated by Self Realisation Fellowship founded by Paramhansa Yogananda in 1925 is for western people. Yes! I am right. Different school of thought of Yoga is prevalent in different times depending upon the suitability of time and space and race as a whole.

In a spiritual person, awakening can happen while reading any spiritual books at the base of spine, afterwards at the heart centre and finally sahashrartha. You will feel the vibrations in your spine and head. This is a sign of Spiritual Realisation for BHARAT and race as a whole.

During the reign of King Chandragupta Vikramaditya (Bharat used to be called – SONE KI CHIDIYA) and 3/4th of the world was under the direct rulership of King. King Chandragupta

Vikramaditya is reborn as Sadhguru Mahayogi Pilot Baba and has descended from Himalayas and working for spiritual harmony and peace of world. This is the same era as was during King Vikramaditya times. You don’t need rigorous asanas and pranayama. Just can practice – Surya Namaskaar , It is more than enough. For Bharat – People can meditate with open eyes as of now. Praying for self-grace and attuning your ego to SELF can make your MIND MEDITATIVE. Just leave this scoundrel “Ego” – You will become MEDITATIVE right now and realisation will flow in due course of times. No double doubts, No second thought – Perfect truth.

To understand ego – You can analyse anything related to Name, Fame, Sex, Antecedents of family lineage, Power, Money and anything attached to BODY etc.. Analyse it and rigorously reject all the propensities of BODY. You will become MEDITATIVE right now … Right at the moment. Not a second delay. But warn you! MIND will recoil back to old grooves, and you have to be on alert all the times atleast for 10 months till the time it becomes engraved in your grooves of brain.

It is for both a sweeper and king. Meditative Mind has nothing to do with what work or actions you perform. Just negate the body and feel that I am the SELF or AATMAN. This is the foundation of beginning of Yoga for Bharat as of now as a race. slowly-slowly, as a race we will advance and whole Bharat will be doing Yoga as a unified one body. This is the need of times.

Warning: As mind will always run in old grooves – It is advisable not to sleep for more than 4-5-6 hours. As minimum as possible. It will keep you alert and on the go. You gives the chariot of your Mind to SELF. This is the need of time.

Just be on alert all the times and whatever feed comes from all 5 senses (Gateway of Knowledge) try to assimilate and keep your goal always high that I have to be realised in this mere birth. This is the real time pointer.

Read books only from those people who had certain realisation. Those who babble from Mind analysis, save your energy there.

Swami Vivekanada condensed epitome of contemporary Bharat in 19th century has told to his disciples – Why I read so many books. Vivekananda was a perfect celibate by birth. He used to study the first and last page of the book and used to come to know the whole purpose of book.

He has eye span of 1 page. It means from the power of celibacy – at a time he not only used to see few words or lines but whole page. He had a memory of infinite capacity. He often used to take books and return book to librarian next day. Librarian startled how this man is reading so thick book in one day – Vivekananda alias Narendra asked you test me out – Librarian asked arbitrarily from a middle page. He not only told all the contents of page but told the page no. too word by word. Vivekananda told in later years in America to one of Professors, that all these powers are very normal in Bharat who practice unbroken celibacy for 14 years. Swami Ji was both a Philosopher and Yogi.Concludingly, when whole BHARAT will do Yoga as a unified body. A sweeper will come to know what is running in the mind of others and meditated upon. Similarly , For a king too. No difference.
