Multiple messages in a day

When one is in a spiritual path, the journey is not always in the same pace. There may be many lessons at one time, and then there is a quiescent period when we have to assimilate and incorporate the lessons learned.

Recently I have been on a speedy journey, too many things coming my way and there was a sort of self doubt and the thought whether I am having enough support from the Universe, and also, if I am on the right path.

On 15- 11- 15 (look at the numbers), during my sleep, thrice I was shown a series of numbers, with the instruction to remember them and to write them down on waking up. In half awake state I repeated the numbers many times in my mind and on waking up, wrote them down. The numbers were 111, 157, 531, 1. I was curious what it meant.

I wrote down the alphabets represented by the numbers and tried to see whether they made any sense. It was an exercise in vain. Then I searched for the meaning of those numbers. And there I got the message, which answered my thoughts that were troubling me recently.

111

Number 111 is a powerful number of manifesting and manifestation. Number 111 symbolizes the principles of spiritual awakening and enlightenment, high energy,

inspiration and intuition, self-expression and sensitivity.  It is a message that the Universe is very aware of your persistent thoughts and ideas as these are manifesting quickly into your reality.

111 also encourages you to assist and inspire the human race via your natural abilities, relying upon your inner-wisdom and intuition to guide you.  Be an inspirational guiding light to bring illumination to others and to help raise spiritual awareness. Trust that the Universe support you in your ‘lightwork’.

157

157 is a message that the choices and decisions you have made and the changes you are contemplating and undertaking are very positive and will be of benefit to you in many ways.  Your positive thoughts, beliefs and optimism will manifest great success, happiness and fulfilment in your life.  Keep up the great work you have been doing, and stay happy and optimistic within as this will be reflected in your life.

531

531 is a message from the Ascended Masters that you are fully supported and encouraged to make the necessary life changes that will bring you into alignment with your life purpose and soul mission.  Give any fears or feelings of anxiety to the Universe for healing and transmutation, and have courage and confidence that all is going according to the Divine plan.

531 suggests that your thoughts, feelings and impressions are being infused with Divine guidance, and you are being aided and assisted with the life choices and changes you are making.  Trust that these changes are for your highest good and are in-line with your soul purpose.  You are surrounded with love and blessings.

531 can also suggest that a new door will open for you soon.  Trust in the process of life.  Do not worry about not knowing what is coming up next for you because when that door opens, you will KNOW that it is the right one for you. Be free to be yourself and express your truths.

1

Number 1 is a reminder that we are all connected.  It also encourages you to take up challenges with total faith and trust in yourself and the Universal Energies.

The light coming on

In the morning while I was driving the car, suddenly the cabin light came on and after a few seconds, it switched off by itself. It has never happened before or after that.  I remarked to my husband, it is giving some message to me. Now I know that it was an indication that the Universal forces are with me in my endeavors.

The falling picture stand

While doing my routine crystal gazing, I saw a dark face. I was not sure whose it was, then thought it must be Tirupathi Balaji. So I was noting it down on the calendar, when one of the picture stands on the adjacent table fell down, on the table itself. I lifted it up and when I saw the face, realized that this was what I saw on the crystal. It was Shri Uvassagarham Parshwanath. Lord Parshvanath preceded Lord Mohair by 25O years.

Even during the period of Bhagavan Mahavir the faith and devotion for Bhagavan Parshvanath was wide spread. The masses strongly believed that remembering the name of Bhagavan Parshvanath was the panacea for all troubles as well as the means of success. This was the reason that in Bhagavan Mahavir’s time Bhagavan Parshvanath was popularly known as "Purushadaniya".

So that was one special day when I got several messages that cleared many doubts.

Reiki, my spiritual Guru

During B K Shivani’s talk in Belgaum, she told that as a continuation of the function, at the Brahmakumari’s centers in Belgaum, they will conduct 7 days Rajayoga meditation course after a day. The timing was 7 to 8 am and 7 to 8 pm. I felt like attending the course, but the timing was not convenient. It was announced that if a different timing was sought, one could talk to the sisters at the center and they will arrange it.

We went early morning the next day and told the sister there that we would like to get a time slot of 6 to 7 am. She asked me for my phone number and told she would inform me when it was arranged. I didn’t get any call and I took it that the Universe is not approving. As I go by the signs of Universe, it was ok with me.

During those days, we were watching the TV programme ‘Reporters’ and then it ended. So we just started listening to ‘Awakening with Brahmakumaris’, which was a talk show with BK Shivani. Then after two three days, I saw ‘Learn Rajayoga meditation sitting at your home”. Wow! I couldn’t believe it for a moment.

So from 3^rd November 2015 we are watching the Rajayoga meditation program daily. I was surprised that many of the things BK Shivani tells I have already been practicing. And who was guiding me? Reiki. I have come to realize that even though I learned Reiki basically to take care of physical problems, it was leading me on through my spiritual path. That it was doing it so systematically, I realized only on listening to BK Shivani’s talks.  When we prepare ourselves, things just fall into our laps. Even after experiencing it multiple times, it still amazes me!

Holy plants appearing by themselves

In childhood I used to find Lord Shiva very fascinating, though I didn’t know the reason. But my mother told me not to worship Shiva, as according to her, ‘Shiva is “Kshiprakopi” in Malayalam. It means He can get angry very fast. She told that during the puja rituals if we commit any mistake, it can have dire consequences. I listened to her advice.

As I started advancing spiritually and started getting messages from the Universe, I saw things differently and started worshipping Shiva. At a later stage I started doing Havan for Him too. Whenever we visit any ancient Shiva temple, I would buy small Shivlings. I feel I’m bringing some positive vibes of that place by doing this.

Two such Shivlings I kept on a pedestal in our green house and daily morning I put sadabahar flowers on them. 

Recently I saw three plants growing on the walls near to the Shivlings. It is interesting to notice which these plants are.

The Peepal

One is a peepal plant. The peepal or Bohdi tree is sacred to the Hindus and Buddhists. Apart from religious significance, the leaves of the tree have been used for curing and treating a variety of conditions. In every temple you can see peepal trees.

Most plants largely uptake Carbon dioxide and release oxygen during the day (photosynthesis) and uptake oxygen and release Carbon dioxide during the night (respiration). Some plants such as Peepal tree can uptake Carbon dioxide  during the night as well because of their ability to perform a type of photosynthesis called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM).

Many harmful bacteria found in the air can affect mentally and physically, but when the air touches the leaves of the peepal, the harmful bacteria are destroyed.

The Peepal tree also has astrological connotations. The tree is closely linked with the planet Jupiter. Jupiter being the most rewarding planet in astrology, its presence is always regarded as both rewarding as well as graceful.

The Peepal tree is believed to be Lord Shiva’s abode. It is believed that both good and evil souls reside in the Peepal tree. The greatness of the worship of this tree lies in the fact that whosoever worships the Peepal tree gets a reward equal to worshipping Lord Shiva. Peepal tree worship alone has the tendency to overcome all planetary afflictions.

Sadabahar (Periwinkle)

Periwinkle is a symbol of eternity and of being, of life force; it is a harbinger of spring. The evergreen glossy tough leaves of the periwinkle can withstand both freezing temperatures and heat, so that’s why this plant is a symbol of eternity.

It is known as ‘Sadabahar’ meaning ‘always in bloom’ . The purple sadabahar flowers are so full of energy and I love placing them on the Shivling every day. These flowers symbolize benevolence, gifts from the heart and charms that delight the spirit. They are in tune with the crown chakra.

Thumbappoo plant

Lord Shiva’s favorite flower is said to be thumbappoo. Thumbappoo is a very small flower in pure white. Thumba plant is very common in Kerala and it is used in some ayurvedic medicines. Thumbappoo has a main role in the floral decoration (atha poo) of Onam festival. It is also used in 'Karkkidaka vavu bali tharpanam'(a ritual offered to the ancestors).

Interesting to see that the thumba plant grew, leaned towards the Shivlings and gave flowers(Feb 2016)
