Adi Guru @ Bhavsagar/ Void

Shri Abraham Abraham lived between the XVIII and XVI century BC and grew up in Ur (Mesopotamia). Stories about his life are narrated both in the Bible (Genesis) and in the Qu'ran.  At that time, people believed in idols and made sacrifices to them and primitive rituals that could flow into collective hysteria; in spite of this belief, a strong faith in a only one God grew up inside him since his childhood.  An anecdote: while investigating the origin of the creation, he looked for his father's advice (he was just working in an shop selling idols) who promptly replied: “This idol created the world!”; surely Abraham did not believe his father and asked his uncle who told him: “the moon and the stars created the world”. Abraham was not quite sure if that was true, but he got an idea that there might be an almighty up in the heavens who created the world: Yahvè. And one day, finally, God talked to him:  «Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to t...

Shri Raja Janaka Seeradhwaja Janaka was a great scholar and an enlightened person. His life dates back to 8000 BC; he was the King of Mithila (the current Janakpur) and Shri Sita's father (Shri Ram's wife).  It is interesting to note the composition of his city's name, Mith+Ila : ‘Mith’ derives from Mithya, that means illusory, and ‘Ila’ means Atman. The words together mean ‘Illusion of Atman’. The result is very interesting as helping people to win over their illusions and realize their atman is just the main task of the Guru. Typo in above image : His life dates back to 8000 BC; The Ashtavakra Samhita - teachings about nondualism The Ashtavakra Samhita is an Advaita Vedanta scripture that documents a dialogue between the master Ashtavakra and his disciple Raja Janaka . It shows the basics of the nondualism (Advaita) -  “Nothing but the Spirit exists”, “The Sage is free from the pairs of opposites as it is a child” - that leads to the comprehension of the illusoriness of ...

Shri Adi Guru Dattatreya Ten times Shri Adi Guru Dattatreya has come into the world to lead humanity towards righteousness and spirituality, to establish the values of Dharma, that corresponds with building the path for the spiritual ascent of human being. Many of these incarnations manifested themselves as prophets and gave proof of great devotion and complete surrendering to God Almighty, like in the case, for example, of Abraham who was up to sacrifice his own child as God requested to him; some of them had to struggle a lot to deliver God's word (see Abraham, Zarathustra, etc), or fight (like Mohammed did) or even undergo a death sentence (as it happened to Socrates).   Other Adi Gurus could instead manifest themselves in their Divine, complete form, like in the case of Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi, the last incarnation, who clearly declared to be God, to be the one who is every thing. He pervasively and unfailingly cared to spread Love and Compassion to his devotees and to everyon...

Story Of Moses Moses is the most important Jewish prophet. He’s traditionally credited with writing the Torah and with leading the Israelites out of Egypt and across the Red Sea. In the book of Exodus, he’s born during a time when the Pharaoh of Egypt has ordered every male Hebrew to be drowned. To protect Moses, his mother sends him down the Nile in a basket, where he is ultimately noticed by Pharaoh’s daughter. She adopts him as her own and raises him in Pharaoh’s court. Even though he is free, Moses’ compassion for the slaves leads him to kill an overseer he sees beating a slave — which forces Moses to run away from Egypt. While the Passover story shows Moses’ compassion, it also depicts him as reluctant to obey God’s order to save the Jews. But a common motif of Judaism is that the things one ought to do aren’t virtues, but mitzvot — commandments and obligations. Moses is commanded to return and lead the Jews to freedom. After Moses and the Jews leave Egypt, God gives him the Ten ...

  Story Of Shri ABRAHAM Terah, the tribal leader of Hebrews died at Haran. When mourning days were over, the tribal representatives visited Abraham, son of Terah, Abraham dreamt about some loud words of Gods saying  "leave your country, your family and your father's house for the land. I will show to you, I will make a great nation. I will bless you and make your name famous that it will be used as a blessing". Accordingly, Abraham along with his wife Sarah, left and wandered through hills and valleys eating wild fruits, drinking water from streams and sleeping under trees. Sarah was doubtful about God's blessings about land and children. Abraham said, it was not only a dream but the clear voice of God. Again Abraham heard God's voice saying  "Abraham, have no fear. I am the shield to your descendants. I shall give you this land". Next morning Abraham offered fire (havan) to God, they wandered towards the land of Canaan as severe drought caused a fa...

Abraham Abraham was a Jewish leader in the 2nd millennium BCE. Regarded as the first patriarch of the people of Israel, his teachings are accepted by three faiths - Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has described Abraham as being an incarnation of the Primordial Master (eg. 1979-1202) who "had problems of talking to people who were really very, very ignorant." (1989-0524) "Abraham had a son. One son he had after a long time. And God asked him that he should sacrifice his son. His wife said, 'I also was feeling terrible that he has to sacrifice his son.' So he went down to the place where the child was to be sacrificed. He made a fire, everything and he was about to put the child on that pyre of fire when the voice came: 'This is Mahakali, you don’t have to sacrifice your child.'"
