Question Of The Week
Q - What are Akashic Records?
A - The Akashic Records are understood to have existed from eternity. Just as we have various specialty libraries (e.g., medical, law), so also there are various Akashic Records (e.g., human, animal, plant, mineral, etc) encoding Universal Lore. Most writings refer to the Akashic Records only in the realm of human experience but the fact is that all phenomenal experience as well as transcendental knowledge is encoded in these records.
Do send us your questions via the comment section or through live interaction with Vanamali Mataji on Instagram.
The Hindu Way of Life
In the context of Navadha Bhakti, which refers to the "Nine Types of Devotion" in Hinduism, "Daasyam" is one of the nine forms. Daasyam means "servitude" or "service". In the Daasyam form, the devotee sees themselves as a servant of God, dedicated to performing acts of service and duty as an expression of their love and devotion. This form of devotion emphasizes humility, dedication, and the desire to serve the divine in a manner that reflects deep respect and commitment.
Reflection of the Week
Being kind often leads to more constructive and meaningful interactions, ultimately fostering a sense of correctness in the way relationships and communication are handled.
Ayurvedic health tip of the week
Fear and Healing
Oftentimes, your fear is your mind's external manifestation of the deep desire to live. Your fear can be a reflection of you wanting to be alive. If your fear is thereby trapping you, keeping you limited, and making you feel stuck - explore what lies underneath your fear. Get to the core of it, which oftentimes is the very desire to live. Once you can access this pure sentiment, you will begin your healing journey.
