Nine poem garland for Swamini Svatmavidyanandaji for Navratri . 3. Fry those Thattai Oh, Mom! Fry those Thattai Oh, Mom! Fry those Vedanta circular Thattai The ignorant body is the rice flour The innate consciousness is the lentil flour The nonstop mind is the water  Pepper and salt together forms the life Likes and dislikes disappear altogether Doubts and refusal destroy in mananam Prayerful devotion brings out the flame  Shastra oil is ready to fry the flour  Vedanta Shravanam removes the duality Nididhyasanam removes the habitual orientation  As the water evaporates, the Thattai floats That golden fullness is self-evident Fry those Thattai Oh, Mom! Fry those Vedanta circular Thattai   (Chandogya Upanishad Class by Swamini Svatmavidyananda July 10 2021) Chandogya six 15      

Nine poem garland for Swamini Svatmavidyanandaji for Navratri . 2. A stethoscope and a scalpel   The stethoscope that is in the neck Hears the beats of the heart  The rumblings of the intestine  The musings of the lungs   The preoperative exam begins  The blood work, The stress test The X Ray The Echocardiogram  The Body and mind is prepared    The Guru is the surgeon  The ignorance is the cataract  The Upanishad is the scalpel  The preparatory work begins    The Karma The Dharma The Yoga The Pranayama The meditation The Satsang  The body mind complex is ready   The operating room is ready The Vedanta classes begins  Stories unfold Jokes are told   Mind is relaxed in the anesthesia    Fear is extinguished  Faith is established  Shraddha is reinforced  Devotion is strengthened    The Upanishad is unfolded  The scalpel is used...

Nine poem garland for Swamini Svatmavidyanandaji for Navratri 1. The clearing of the eclipse    The triguna forms of Maya That creates a beautiful rhythm  The cosmic dance of Nataraja Who never misses a beat     The shadow of raga and The shadow of dvesha   Obscure the inner light to Create a temporary eclipse    The avarice nature of rajo guna The fearful sorrow of tamo guna Together murk the water   That hides the inner light   The objectivity of the sattva guna The accommodative inner self  The compassion clears that murk There shines that bright Brahman (Panchadasi Class by Swamini Svatmavidyananda June 9 2021)
