Bodhinatha's Latest Upadesha: "Detachment from Experiences; Importance of Daily Vigil" (May 5, 2013)
All experiences are good experiences, necessary to get us here. Awareness of aspects of ourselves that are constantly changing is a liberating perception, breaking our chains to mundane areas, detaching from instinctive and intellectual to go into superconscious. The greatest challenge facing youth today is the lack of relating to the devotional side of Hinduism. Daily practice, daily vigil, moves us forward spiritually. Commentary on Merging with Siva, The Master Course, Lesson 21.

Ganapathi Thunai.
When Siva said to Ganesha and Murugan, “Whoever goes around the universe first will get this mango,” Murugan immediately took off on his peacock to go around the universe, while Ganesha was thinking how to do that (He has got only a slow moving mouse). When Murugan was going around, He met Rishi Ahasthir. Murugan created Tamil language and taught Tamil to Ahasthir (so, Ahasthir was the first Tamil student). This delayed Murugan and in the mean time Ganesha circumambulated (pradakshina) Siva and Parvathi and received the Mango, and Murugan arrived just in time (teaching us that parents are the universe). The Tamil word “Murugan” means “Beautiful.” No wonder Murugan created that word to describe Him.
