WHAT IS THIS BHAVASAGARA?

This is the symbol or this is the reflection of whole entire universe that is created. All this universe is created by Brahmadeva. He is the one who is the creator… of this world, who created this beautiful universe. In that, especially He created the Mother Earth.



He has placed the moon and sun on both the sides of this Mother Earth. They represented to you the Mother Earth within us. It is the Kundalini, the Mooladhara.



Now this universe is existing within us. That is the Bhavasagara. This Bhavasagara exists in many stages in its evolutionary form and today it is Kali Yuga in this Bhavasagara.



I would say it is a dawn of Satya Yuga, at the end of Kali Yuga, in this Bhavasagara. It is placed in the centre of the Nabhi Chakra and around it moves the centre of Swadisthana. The Nabhi chakra, as you Know, is governed by Shri Lakshmi as the power of Shri Vishnu and the Swadisthana moves around it, which delimits our own personality and which creates all these different stars within us or the planets within us.



H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 7th February 1981

So a guru has to be the mother, he must have the qualities of the mother

Within us as you know, in all of us there lies the principle of Guru. It’s very interesting to notice the Guru Principle being drawn beautifully round the Nabhi chakra. We never see any chakras connected with the Guru Principle.




You see Nabhi, and around is the Bhavasagara. So this Bhavasagara which is the Ocean of Illusion cannot be the Guru.



So there are hidden chakras within this Bhavasagara within us, which are to be awakened and to be brought to light, to be manifested. As you can see that the limits of this principle are done by the movement of the Swadisthana chakra. ...


As you start growing into more creativity, the more people you create. And the central point of this one [Guru Principle] is the Nabhi in the center, which is like a big pivotal point on which the whole of this movement takes place.




Nabhi chakra as you know, you get it from your mother to begin with. So a guru has to be the mother, he must have the qualities of the mother – not the modern mothers, but in the real sense of the word: that a guru has to love her children and has to have strength and courage to correct her children. And the earnest desire should be to put the children onto proper lines to guide them and to help them to rise.




So the first nourishment comes to us even when we are in the womb of the mother, through the mother; and so you are the mother though you may be a man or a woman, but in quality you are the mother. And whatever you think or whatever you do has an effect on the child. The way you behave, the way you talk, the way you live, everything has a bearing on the development of the child.


H.H.Shri Mataji , Guru Puja 1989

This place is called as Bhavasagara

It is the ocean of illusion in which we live. And we are the seekers….

If we are in the ocean, our ship should be seaworthy.

Then any kind of illusion is not going to deter us if we are seaworthy.

But seaworthy means we must know if there is a fog, how to move in right direction.

We should know how to overcome all the hazards of all kinds of storms and all the knowledge should be built-in within us.

And that built-in knowledge is this dharma.

It is a religion within you – not without, but with in you.

To cross this Bhavasagara

So when we read about the Devi, about Her incarnations, how She came on this earth to save Her bhaktas, people who are trying to ascend, to cross this Bhavasagara, how She worked hard, how She fought the devils, how She fought, She killed the demons single-handed, She took upon Herself the responsibility of making the people cross the Bhavasagara. Guru gave you the strength, taught dharma, but She’s the one who brought you out.



Even those who were dharmic could not do it because of the demonic pressure. She’s the one who fought single-handed with Her powers of destruction. In Her love for you She fought, She brought you to this level. And then She took a milder form of incarnation. Even during the time of all the gurus She took the form of, as you know, Janaki was the daughter of Janaka. Then Fatima was the daughter of Mohammed Sahib and Nanaki was the sister of Nanaka. In those forms, these Powers sustained and nourished the Guru Tattwa and later on or sometimes simultaneously They incarnated in milder forms to help human beings to rise.




So today is the day of thanksgiving. As Guru Puja is a day of thanksgiving to your Guru, the One who has counsel you, the One who has told you about the truth, the One who has taught you the truth and has given you Realization. And the Devi Puja is a thanksgiving where single-handed, just like a very loving mother, under Her sari She’s protected you, fought for you, fought with every enemy that is around, every sort of problems that existed and ultimately brought into Sahasrara level and then gave you Realization. It’s a real thanksgiving to the Mother. So we can say Navaratri’s like a Mother’s Day where you give thanksgiving to Her, which was just relentless, continuous working for Her children.

Position in Human body :

QUALITY

The Void is the center of our own mastery. As the Kundalini energy enlightens this area we become our own Guru. The word Guru means weight or gravity, and this grounded state is

one of the primary ways that we remain in balance in the midst of our turbulent existence. When the Kundalini rises and fills the Void, our Attention is led out of the confusion and illusion, and into the awareness of the higher Reality. In this way we can take control of our own evolution without relying on external forces, eventually our own introspection will provide the answers and keys during our meditation. In a lot of cases the key will be to recognize a solution to our problem resented to us externally, but as we become our own master we are able to discern the right from wrong, the Truth from fiction.

The other side of this coin is, of course, the principle of the disciple. It is as important for us to recognize Truth in a humble and open minded way as it is to give advice with a gravity of a Master. The greatest Masters throughout the ages have been the most humble disciples of God. In this way they surrender their ego to the Divine and are able to teach with absolute authority, even when directly challenging the established wisdom of the time. Since the Void is directly connected with the Nabhi Chakra, it is no coincidence that the principle of Dharma is a fundamental

aspect of this area. All of the great Masters and Prophets who have taken their birth on the earth to guide us, have made Dharma (or righteous conduct) a key tenet of their teachings. We can only become better beings by not abusing ourselves or debasing others; in other words, by living properly and in accordance with the laws of nature.

TRADITION

All of the great Prophets who have come to act as role models for the human race and to give knowledge of the higher Reality are associated with the Void. The primordial Deity is Shri Adi

Guru, and the great Prophets such as Abraham, Moses, Lao-Tse, Janaka, Guru Nanak, Mohammed Sahib, Sai Nath of Shirdi, Zaratustra, Confusius and Socrates are simply embodiments

of this Primordial Master. It is they who have taught us the ways of righteous living that maintain codes of conduct by which anarchy is avoided. The disciple principle also resides within us in this area, and this principle has been represented on the earth as Luv and Kush (the children of Shri Rama and Shri Sita), as Markendaya, as Adi Shankaracharya, David, John the Baptist, Buddham, Mahavira, Kabir, Michaelangelo, Kalil Gibran, William Shakespeare, William Blake and others.

The role models or “beacons to the path” have taken birth all over the world. In a lot of cases they have had to reincarnate specifically to undo the wrong done by their earlier followers who have begun to stray from the teachings. For example Mohammed Sahib came onto the earth to teach Dharma to a barbaric peoples of the time, who in turn tortured his life. As a result, out of disgust, he vowed that “this is the last time a Prophet will come.” But when he saw how his compassion

was thrown to the dogs he incarnated as Guru Nanak to teach Hindu-Muslim unity. Nowadays of course his own followers are haters of Muslims and vice versa. In a similar way Shri Adi Shankaracharya returned as Kabir to try and lead his followers away from ritualism and idol worship which they started practicing so indiscriminately.

GROSS PHYSICAL ASPECT

The Void is the gap between the Kundalini and the vagus nerve of the parasympathetic system. It represents all space and time from the beginning of creation to the peak of our evolution in human awareness. It is the vacuum which separates our awareness from the Absolute while we are still in the unen-lightened state. The Void is actually created by the outermost circular movement of the Swadisthana around the Nabhi Charka, and it contains the two centers relating to the Sun (Surya) and Moon (Chandra).



CONDITION OF THE VOID

We can tell when we are disturbing the Guru principle within us by the upset to our digestive system. This can manifest as nausea or any other symptoms emanating from the stomach area. If for instance we are witness to any Adharmic activity or indulge in abuse of our physical or subtle system we can easily determine the effect on our system by the feeling that we experience in this area. Nervous tension in our stomach or butterflies before an exam or test are simply expressions of our Mastery Principle being challenged.
Similarly we are able to discern false teachings from Truth by responding to the condition of the Void. The combination of vibratorial awareness and signals from our Void area can be a powerful pointer to the legitimacy of any practice whether it be spiritual or material. We learn to become atuned to our subtle system in this way and eventually can respond rapidly to avoid that which will do us harm and to open up towards that which will be of benefit to our being. The Guru principle within us is a very powerful force for our benevolence, but we must learn to recognize the signals.

CLEARING THE VOID

Using the Elements:

• Footsoak in a bowl of hot water with salt in it.



• Using a candle around the Void area.

Affirmations:

• Mother, I am my own Master.
