God is Immortality and Death🔗

THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

I am the ritual, I am the sacrifice, I am the offering, I am the herb, I am the mantra, I am the clarified butter, I am the fire,

POWERFUL COGNITION

Everything that we see is Paramaśivaśakti or universal energy.

I am the oblation. I am the supporter of the universe, the father, the mother, and the grandfather. I am the object of knowledge, the sacred syllable "OM", and also the Ṛg, the Yajur, and the Sāma Vedas

Divine energy fills and overflows in all the places.

POWERFUL COGNITION

When we worship some idol or form, we actually worship the formless energy behind that idol.

I give heat. I send, as well as withhold, the rain. I am immortality, as well as death. I am also both the Eternal and the temporal, O Arjuna.

POWERFUL COGNITION

God is energy and He fills all space and is omnipresent.

Krsna says in specific terms what He is. He is the creation of the act, the actor, and the action. He is the fire to which the sacrifices are made. He is also the offering, and He is the sacrifice as well. He is the seer, the seen, and the seeing, all in one.

He tells Arjuna that everything has come from Him. Everything that we see is Paramaśivaśakti or universal energy. We are all Brahman. Divine energy fills and overflows in all the places. This is what Krsna says in these verses. Whatever name we may give It, It is present everywhere. When we worship some idol or form, we actually worship the formless energy behind that idol.

‘First start meditating on the form, then you can go to the formless.’ Our mind is like a drunken monkey, jumping from here to there. We need a form to bring our mind to the present. Once we master this, meditating on the formless becomes easier. Meditating on the form should only be a starting point. We should understand that we are worshipping through that idol and not the idol itself. Actually, it is religions that give shapes and forms to this divine energy. Thousands of years ago, our sages have clearly said in the Upanisad that everything is energy and everything arose from energy. Now it has been proven scientifically that there is ether even in a vacuum. This energy is all- pervading. Only recently has science understood this truth. We now know with the help of powerful tools that 99.99% of an atom is empty space with continuous vibrations. Each and every body is filled with energy

Today science says, 'Everything is filled with energy.' Our enlightened masters expressed it this way, 'God is energy and He fills all space and is omnipresent.' This energy can only change form; it cannot be destroyed. You see, when we switch on a light, electrical energy is converted into light energy. In the same way, universal energy is everywhere. Once we realize this great truth, we see that everything around us is the same as us. When I say everything, I mean everything is Krsna, everything is Brahman.

VALUE OF LIFE

MATERIALS NEEDED:

PROCEDURE:

Ask each child to discuss what they value in their life a lot. Ask them the reason why they value that specific thing. Encourage the children to visualize and think about their value of life and draw that picture.

Energy is in everything around us, even when we do a picture of our visualization, we are putting energy into creating our reality, or giving life to the picture.

THE DAY

PLANTS LOVE & ANGER

Fill the cups a little more than half with earth. Have enough cups so that each child will receive 2 cups. 1 cup with the word LOVE written on it, and 1 cup with the word ANGER. Both cups should also have the children's name written on it, so they can differentiate and take care of their own cups.

Talk about positive and negative energy. How positive energy gives us strength and negative energy makes us sick and ill. Studies have proven that plants have feelings too, that when they are subjected to anger, they do not grow well, but when they are showered with love, they flourish. So this is a bit of an experiment that we will try out.

With these cups, we will put the mustard seeds inside and put just a bit of water every day. Now with the cup of LOVE, we are going to say all sorts of positive things, direct positive energy towards it, and talk to it, and they can even name their plant if they like. With the ANGER plant, we are going to direct all our anger towards. Talk to it negatively, when you are feeling upset go and discuss it with your plant, shout at it! And over the period of 2 weeks, keep observing how the 2 plants grow. The love plant will flourish, and the anger plant will wither or show stunted growth.

Encourage the children to hold Vaakyartha Sadhas on

"When I say everything, I mean everything is Krsna, everything is Brahman."

How does this relate to their school? Their parents? This lesson?

God is energy and He fills all space and is omnipresent.' This energy can only change form; it cannot be destroyed. You see, when we switch on a light, electrical energy is converted into light energy. In the same way, universal energy is everywhere. Once we realize this great truth, we see that everything around us is the same as us. The divine is omnipresent around us, in form and formless form of energy, therefore, when we cognize this truth, we are able to consciously connect with God in various dimensions of our life.This energy is all-pervading. Each and every body is filled with energy
