The Cosmic Mother

The Vedic rishis have created different kinds of techniques, methods and paths to connect with the Cosmic Consciousness/Cosmic Energy. I can say the sweetest, most authentic and beautiful path for connecting to the Divine is Maatru Bhava, as a mother.

Our Masters have done so much research in the inner world that they have created millions of paths. The variety of Gods in Hinduism reflects this abundant research and development in the inner world. In the West there had been tremendous energy spent in the research and development in the outer world. Our Masters have so much of thirst for inner fulfillment and ultimate experience. The Vedic tradition offers millions of paths to achieve the ultimate experience.

The path of relating with Existence in the form of mother is such a sweet divine path, I can say that this is the easiest path and straightaway you can start connecting. Everyone can connect. Even if you have not lived with your mother, you will carry the feeling, the beautiful memory or the idea of mother child relationship.

Even if you have never lived with your mother, you would have enough ideas about mother-child relationship. We can connect with the Divine in the form of mother and child relationship. This is called as Maatru Bhava in Sanskrit.

The first strong relationship any human experiences is mother. This is the first strong relationship and stays forever. Turning these samskaras, that relationship, that mood towards the ultimate is the Maatru Bhava, connecting with the ultimate by relationship as a mother.

There are so many other bhavas such as dasa bhava, maatru bhava, vatsalya bhava etc.But the maatru bhava is such a powerful method. It is the complete path. It can lead you to the enlightenment or the ultimate experience by itself. So first enter into the Maatru Bhava. Then whatever you chant, whatever you do, will take you to the deeper and deeper spaces where you can experience the true divine energy, the true mother energy.

You have 3 levels of mother. One is the physical mother who gave you the body. The second is the mothers of your mental set-up. The mental set-up you carry is given to you by many like your friends and family. Ultimately, the mother of your being, Parashakti and the Master lead you towards enlightenment.

The Master who leads you to enlightenment and the cosmic energy is your ultimate mother.

First connect with Mother who has given you this body and then you will connect to the mother who has given you the space to sit,energy to see, and above all the energy to celebrate that you exist.
