Brahman Reside In Us



Brahman resides in all beings and is universal so why the question of who is superior? The energies that are stilled in idols that we worship are invoked by all of us and are a part of our Atman, the Brahman that resides in us. Balancing this energy with what is within you should not be the cause of turmoil or pain for others.

We are enveloped by a cloak of ignorance that feeds our ego and only when we will open our eyes to the brilliance that is in us will we understand and realize Brahman. The person who ties his thoughts to that which is beyond the ego, that which is Brahman, loses his ego.
Lord Shani
 Shiva, Shani, Vishnu, Krishna, Durga......they are all one and the same, facets of the very same Brahman, incomplete without the other.

"Tat Twam Asi.......by knowing the SELF (Self-realization) we will be able to recognize the entire Universe because of the fact that the Universe cannot exist without the presence of Brahman.
 
The Self is within all things and there is nothing that doesn't come from Him.

“This invisible and subtle essence is the Spirit of the whole universe. That is reality. That is truth."

Shani Dev: The Mighty Deity

Shani is our teacher, but most of us avoid the lessons he is trying to teach us, because the truth hurts.
Shani reveals our primary fears yet if you embrace him and take on his positive aspect he gives you the strength to face them. We don't want to deal with what he is always trying to get us to learn. There is
basically no way to avoid Shani's lessons. So, the sooner we embrace what it is that we need to learn, the
more at peace we will be.
Lord Shani Dev Puja
Through Shani we meet our limits and touch reality's cold hard face. We are initiated into the consequences of our karma through the realm of time and form. Shani teaches many spiritual lessons, the most important being humility. There is no room for " I ". He "restructures" our lives and grounds us to the basics in order to achieve our desires.

Lord Shani's Arrival to Ft Myers, Florida

There isn't always a reason to why something happens or how it is done, it doesn't matter why or how it was created, all that's important is the knowledge that he puts in you while the task is being done and that you were his instrument. The hurdles and issues that sprouted were in fact Shani's teachings, his lessons of truth, and he also gave us the strength and perseverance to complete the task.
Lord Shani
 Did we ask anything from Him? Yes, His blessings and he gave us immense courage to withstand adversity and grow strong spiritually.
Spiritual Havan Kund

What does spiritual growth mean?
Emotional and material detachment? Or when your inner being becomes one with Him?
When you believe that all that happened was meant to happen in this way and He ordained it. There was no other way.
He did not want it any other way, despite all your efforts and you are at peace because you know it.
Close your eyes away from all the distrust and commotion and see Him, realize that he resides in you and shines through you, if others don't see that, it’s their misfortune.
