 "The power of affirmation changes and remolds the putty-like substance that makes up the subconscious areas of the mind. For years we have repeated sayings and statements, attached meaning to them in our thoughts and through listening to ourselves speak. This has helped form our life as we know it today, for the subconscious brings into manifestation the impressions we put into it. Therefore, to change the subconscious pattern and increase the spinning velocity of it, we must remold with new ideas and new concepts its magnetic forces. This can be done through the power of affirmation." -- Gurudeva
Our Beloved and Revered Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami

Cybertalk: Part 2 of 3: Remolding the subconscious through Affirmation. This is a two part process. The first is vasana daha tantra, writing down the past and burning it. The second part is affirmations. "I can, I will, and I am able to accomplish what I plan," is the first affirmation mentioned in the affirmation chapter of Merging with Siva. To be effective we must do three things as we say the words. 1. Think, 2. Visualize, and 3. Feel. The feel part is by far the most important.

Mr. and Mrs Subramaniam and Bhuvaneswary Sanmugalingam from Sydney, Australia, enjoyed this morning attending the Kadavul Ardra abhishekam. They have been here with their daughter Mathini Wigneswaran.
They met with Bodhinatha again to say goodbye as they are leaving the island today after their 5-day pilgrimage. Mathini shares with us that the first thing she does when she arrives at work is to read the daily Master Course lesson on email and to see the latest TAKA news. She says it is a great way to start her day
Sannyasin Shanmuganathaswami with Dr. Hiranya Gowda. Hiranya and his wife Saraswathi have been key members of the Sri Ganesha Temple in Nashville, Tennessee and long time supporters of Hinduism Today and Iraivan Temple. He and swami spent some time discussing also the possibility of opening Hindu Heritage Endowments (HHE) for various temples in the US. Previously he had distributed copies of HHE information literature to other temples in the North American Council of Hindu Temples.
Our pilgrims from Australia and Tennessee get together to do some karma yoga.
Making vibhuti prasadam packets is always a joyful and spiritual task.
Mathini at work, while also brainstorming with the Gowdas on how to raise awareness of the Iraivan Temple project here on Kauai... Mathini is on a break from her family duties. Her husband is taking care of her children while she is traveling with her elderly parents who look at this visit to Kauai as a Divine gift from Lord Siva.
Mrs. Saraswathi Gowda also preparing packets of vibhuti which will one day go out around the world carrying the blessings of Lord Nataraja to homes in distant places.

Our new team of silpis will be here in a few weeks. Meanwhile work goes on at the temple, clearing out the sand in preparation for their arrival.
The sacred rudrakshas of Kauai Aadheenam were prolific this year and have earned an international reputation as now we have some Indian tourists who come through asking "We want to see the Rudrakshas!"
The blue "tears of Lord Shiva" ready for cleaning and preparation into malas.
As one visitor aptly said: "There are many new big temples in the world, but Iraivan is special, not only for its stone carving, but because it is set in a magnificent amphitheater of an incredible natural setting in a tropical paradise. This whole place is a temple!"

Title: Conquering Fear

Duration: 6 min., 4 seconds

Today at Kauai Aadheenam; February 19th. Greetings to each and everyone. Welcome to Cyberspace Ashram.
I am sitting here with a group of four brahmacharis, a yogi, two Saiva swamis, and we are right in the middle of a 'Prasnottara Satsanga'. That means simply, 'Questions and Answers'. We would like each one to say just a word in their own language.
Tamil: Vanakkam. Naam ippoyudhu Kauai Aadheenathil irundhu pesarom. Indru oru shakti ulla naal irukka poguthu. Bhaktarmargal kovillukku vandhu indraikku darisanam kedaikkattum
Malay:
Australian English: Good day everybody from 'down under'. Greetings, Aloha from Kauai Aadheenam. We are here in the home of Gurudeva. So blessed that we get to spend time with Gurudeva every day and learn with Gurudeva and study with Gurudeva. So, hope you all tune in everyday faithfully to listen to Gurudeva's talks. Aloha!
American English: Good morning. We are at Gurudeva's feet and we ask questions everyday and he gives great answers. Always right to the point, as with all his talks. So, we hope you continue listening to the TAKA everyday and reading everything that is happening here at Kauai Aadheenam. Aum Sivaya.
American English: Hello, this is another English speaking person, enjoying the darshan of Gurudeva along with the other brahmacharis. Keep tuning in everyday. The talks get more and more incredible. Thank you. Mahalo.
Gurudeva: Well, this is very wonderful. We have heard from a Tamil-speaking yogi from Malaysia, a Malay-speaking brahmachari from Malaysia, our Australian-English accent from 'down-under' and two American young men. We are very happy to be with you today and today we want to talk a little bit about fear.
They say, "It is wise to fear what is to be feared." Like, being on top of a tall building. You don't want to get too close to the edge, a natural trepidation comes up. But there are a lot of people that fear tomorrow, and the day-after-tomorrow. They also fear yesterday, and the day-before that. They are living in fear.
How do we conquer fear? A positive plan for one's life, for the future. Don't worry about the past. You'll meet the past in the future and if you have a positive plan, you'll go right through the negative parts of that past with flying colors. A positive plan is very, very potent for a person's life. It should be written down as a mission statement. You are a important person. You have a mission in life. Write down right now, "I am an important person, I have a mission in life". Then continue writing what that mission is. It is as simple as that. You will clear your mind of what everybody wants you to do, what your mother wants you to do, what your father wants you to do, what your aunties want you to do, what your uncles want you to do, what the public wants you to do, what your employer wants you to do. You are a person too. You are an important person living on this planet and you have a mission in life.
Now, I am talking to several of you out there in cyberspace. I can feel your vibrations. I didn't intend to say these things when I picked up the microphone and started talking on the 19th of February. But this is just what came out. Write down, "I am an important person living on this planet and I have a mission to perform." Then let your superconscious mind, your divine intelligence, your intuition do the rest of the writing. Then let your external mind read back what you have written. Do this everyday for one week. Slowly, your future destiny will unfold itself and you'll be surprised. The will-power to fulfill that positive mission will come up from within you.
Also, we would like for you to share your mission once it is developed, with us at our Cyberspace Ashram, through e-mail. We will read it to the whole world that is visiting, over 59 countries now that are tuning in to Cyberspace Ashram. Let us make a difference in our life, and once you do, you make a difference in the lives of others, a positive difference.
Aum Namah Sivaya.
