Nile, Me, and the Messages

Spending three nights on the river Nile during cruise was a great spiritual experience for me. While in Sudan for a professional visit years back, we stayed in a hotel overlooking River Nile, and it captivated me then too. On October 13, 14, and 15, I was sitting in our cabin, and looking at the river Nile, absorbing the energy and doing my meditation.  


I'll take off the dark energies

On the first day of meditation, I got a comparison of  river Ganges and Nile. The white frothy water of Ganges had filled me up with bubbling positive energy. Nile told me, "I am different. I am dark water, will remove darkness from you, by taking off all the unwanted energies". I could literally feel that happening. 
Later I came to know from the internet that 59% of the water that reaches Egypt originates from the Ethiopian highlands via the Blue Nile. White Nile and Blue Nile are two tributaries of the Nile that flow from the south into what is referred to as the Nile proper, the longest river in the world. 

Lord Hanumanji and Manasa Devi are here

That was the second message, I thought, 'What?' Then the revelation slowly dawned. I had seen baboons carved in stone during the tour.  They are some of the world's largest monkeys. In ancient Egypt, baboons and monkeys often played a significant and mysterious role in religion and elsewhere.This somehow seems strange, as there are certainly no native monkeys or baboons to Egypt. However, it is clear that prehistoric Egyptians of the fourth millennium BC were familiar with monkeys, including the imposing and dangerous baboons and the African long-tailed monkey. Since that time, they have held a permanent place in ancient Egyptian religion as one of the more important animal forms into which the gods might be transformed. So yes, representatives of Hanumanji are present in Egypt. 

Manasa devi is the snake goddess who is worshipped in India in some regions. Mansa is regarded as the sister of the Nāga (serpent) Vasuki. She is also believed to be the daughter of Lord Shiva in his human incarnate. Manasa devi is said to be the mind daughter of sage Kashyapa and kadru. I do chant her mantra since some time. Manasa devi in Egypt? Then it struck me, I had seen medusa in some carvings in Egypt.

Medusa is generally described as a human female with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Those who gazed into her eyes would turn to stone. She was beheaded by the Greek hero Perseus, who then used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield.

Some suggest that the origins of the character Medusa may be rooted in the Egyptian Cobra Goddess Wadjet. Depicted as a snake-headed woman or a cobra she was associated with the land as matron and protector of Egypt; of kings and of women in childbirth. Thus my intellectual mind was satisfied from the revelations during meditation!
