Sri Maha Pratyangira Devi, a form of the Divine Mother, devours the negative karmas and answers prayers swiftly for a sadhaka or devotee that holds pure intentions and is walking the path of Dharma. People who are experiencing a lot of negative forces in their life benefit from performing this puja by making an offering to the Mother. The puja removes pain, fear and suffering from a persons' life, forming a shield of protection. Being a manifestation of the Pratyangira Mother's energies and being Her ardent devotees, Swamiji and Amma perform this puja personally for the person and their family.
The ancient Siddha Masters perfected the path to salvation, and in the process, have given out a vast knowledge of teachings and practices that allow anyone attain moksha in this lifetime. Sri Mahavatar Babaji comes from this tradition of Siddha masters as does Sri Agastya Maharishi. Siddha Masters are those who have not only attained enlightenment, but can awaken the spiritual energy in their disciples that allow them to reach these supreme states of consciousness. Siddha masters have been guiding Swamiji and Amma with their teachings.
Sri Maha Laxmi Devi, an aspect of the Divine Mother, brings abundance into a person's life. This abundance is in various forms such as wealth, prosperity, knowledge, relationships. The Divine Mother’s Abundance Puja creates an energy vortex using sacred geometry to draw cosmic energy from within and without the participants. Through this portal, the Divine Mother, rishis, sages, yakshas and other ethereal beings are present astrally to bless and transform the consciousness of the person performing the puja. The seeds of the desires of the person are planted the fertile cosmic field so that they can then take root and flower.
Ekatvam’s mission is to be a beacon of light in this world, guiding true seekers on their path. In doing this Ekatvam must honor the purity and love of the Divine in the form of guides and teachers. Swami and Amma are walking the path of serving the Divine Mother. This path has blessed them with darshan and direct teachings from many revered masters. Each one of these teachers has come to Swamiji and Amma from the same source, the one Source.
The saying, practice makes perfect, holds true in many instances in our modern world. Spiritual practice or sadhana aligns with this saying. In order to fulfill our desires for enlightenment, for salvation and truth-realization-- Sadhana is needed.
From the outside a gurukul may initially look to be just a school where shishyas or students study spirituality under a Guru. Literally Guru means dispeller of darkness and Kul refers to his domain, from the Sanskrit word kula, meaning extended family. It is a place where the shishyas reside together as a family, as equals, irrespective of their social standing, age or race. Delving deeper, gurukul living is an important part of the spiritual growth of any seeker.
No matter who you are or what you do in life you can benefit from a Guru when you are travelling on the spiritual path. We all begin as lost wanderers in the ocean of life. We seek purpose and fulfillment. We accumulate karmas, which are binding. Until the karmas are exhausted, our soul endlessly goes through the cycle of life, death and rebirth. It can be never ending, without proper guidance, without Divine guidance. On our own we seek fulfillment in wealth, in status, in relationships, but ultimately we must realize the illusory quality of these pursuits. It is only through a Guru, through Divine guidance, that we find true purpose and true fulfillment.
Dear Beloved Divine Souls,
To help in Amma and Swamiji's work in spreading the Divine Mother's love and energy to as many people as possible, Ekatvam is in need of people to come forward and contribute their seva.
The act of charity is written about in many ancient texts and divine masters teach about the benefits of this noble action. Its influence on spiritual growth is not to be underestimated. A true donation, a noble act, is giving without expectation. For the spiritual and ethical person, the chance to give selflessly is the chance to do the work of the divine. It is only through divine grace that we have the ability to give from our hearts.
