I just came back from an exhilarating experience. Divine Baba allowed me to step through the Door to Heaven.
Today, is a Hindu holy day called Ekadasi, it is a time of worship and veneration of Lord Vishnu, the aspect of God involved with preservation, protection and maintenance of the universe. Lord Vishnu is part of the Hindu trinity of Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva. Lord Krishna is also an incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
Last night, my dear friend Veena informed me that there was going to be a big Vishnu puja for Ekadasi at the Manav Hindu Mandir in Suntree, FL. I was about to take a nice relaxing bath and really had no intentions of going out the next day. I listened as she explained the significance of the puja and the holy day of Ekadasi. She sounded so enthused and ebullient, I began to feel slightly persuaded. Then she revealed something that really caught my ear and interest. She said that during this Vishnu celebration there is a door that the people can go through and enter into the Presence of God or Heaven. That alone was a tempting invitation. But there was something more.
I'm quite unfamiliar with the Hindu religion. None of my Indian friends were Hindus. I attended one Hindu wedding reception, but not the wedding. As I read, I found a certain parallel with all religions. That is that when groups of believers get together and repeat the holy words either through chanting or singing they become more bonded and sometimes, enter trances that allow them to see visions that have been presented to them since childhood.
The brain sees what it wants to see. I'm so glad that Hindu visions are quite benign.
In today’s secular environment the two worlds of science and spirituality are alien worlds, distinguished primarily by a deep-seated antagonism in which the principles of spirituality and the pragmatism of modern science exist face to face in a peren
Our culture has taught us to believe in many ideas which aren't actually real. Exposing these illusions allows us to recover the power to live our lives according to our deepest desires.
