This intelligence isn't just about knowledge but involves a profound understanding of the human condition, grappling with themes of life and death, freedom, and constraints. It's about reconciling the paradox of feeling both bound by life's limitations and at the same time, sensing an inherent freedom within these boundaries.

A key aspect of existential intelligence is recognizing and embracing the limitations as a path to liberation. This doesn't mean resigning to constraints but understanding and using them as stepping stones to personal growth and self-realization. It's about finding meaning and purpose within the confines of our human experience, acknowledging that while certain aspects of life are beyond our control, we have the power to give them meaning and context.

Liberation Within Limitation

What is the meaning of life? This profound question has perplexed humans for millennia. Yet the answers remain elusive, shrouded in mystery and philosophical debate. However, a new perspective is emerging, one that cuts through the complexity to reveal life's hidden purpose.

Life's essence can be distilled into one word: "you." The creation of "you" is the primary aim of the cosmic intelligence that underpins existence. Therefore, realizing the phenomenal possibility embedded within each of us becomes fundamental.

This self-realization demands continuous growth and exploration into the unknown terrain of our inner worlds. It requires the courage to embrace difficult situations that crack open the limitations of our identities. As Guruji provocatively states, the first child must be scaled and then continuously hit. Why? Because it forges the inner strength and fiery pride needed to live a fully awakened life. One where we are no longer scared of going out into the world, but rather, proudly embody our innate purpose.

So what is that purpose? To become the amazement of creation itself. To unleash the immense potential sleeping within us. To savor the sweet nectar of a life triumphantly lived. The answers are within. We need only dig deep and discover.

Aim of Human life

The conscious and subconscious minds are intricately linked, yet distinct facets of the overall mind. The conscious mind consists of our awareness of external interactions with the world and our concept of self. It is constantly impacted by the outside world. In contrast, the subconscious mind stems from our fundamental awareness of our existence. It operates independently of external factors. While distinct, the subconscious plays a key role in shaping conscious thought through ingrained beliefs that filter experiences.

Aligning the conscious and subconscious is critical for harmony in both aspects of the mind. The subconscious mind has immense capabilities, but its cooperation depends on the awareness and feelings present in the conscious mind. Essentially, the conscious mind guides overall direction, while the subconscious has the power to support or derail it. Purifying both sides by focusing on core awareness can enable this alignment.

With alignment between these two powerful aspects of mind, true bliss and inner peace can be achieved. Self-awareness helps balance external and internal disturbances to the mind. Maintaining this bliss then enables spiritual growth. Fundamentally then, self-knowledge and management of the conscious and subconscious minds enable harmony between our infinite inner capacities. This brings blissful awareness untainted by the outside world.

The key relationships covered are the formation of the two aspects of mind, the interaction between conscious and subconscious minds, and how harmony between them facilitates bliss and spiritual growth through heightened self-awareness.

The Dasa Mahavidya, or the "Ten Great Wisdoms," is a group of ten Hindu goddesses, each representing a distinct aspect of the divine feminine power or Shakti in Hinduism. These goddesses are revered in Tantric and Shakti traditions of Hinduism and are considered manifestations of the Supreme Goddess or Devi. The concept of the Dasa Mahavidya holds immense theological, cultural, and philosophical significance and is central to various spiritual practices.

Each of the ten goddesses in the Dasa Mahavidya has a unique identity and symbolism, representing a wide spectrum of divine femininity. Godessess Kali, Tara, Tripura Sundari (also known as Sodashi), Bhuvaneshwari, Chinnamasta, Bhairavi, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi, and Kamala. Kali, often depicted as the fierce form of Goddess Parvati, symbolizes time and change. Tara, akin to the Tibetan deity Tara, represents compassion and protection. Tripura Sundari, embodies the perfection of 3 worlds, while Bhuvaneshwari personifies the cosmos or the physical universe.

Dasa Mahavidya is not only about worshipping the divine feminine but also about understanding and embracing the different aspects of life and existence, ranging from creation and sustenance to transformation and transcendence. This profound aspect of Hinduism highlights the diversity within the divine and emphasizes the importance of embracing all aspects of life and existence.

A Guru provides direction and purpose in life. Without proper guidance, it is easy to get lost amidst the chaos of the modern world. A Guru serves as a moral compass, lighting the path towards truth and meaning. By following the teachings of an enlightened master, one gains clarity regarding their duties, responsibilities, and the ultimate aim of their existence. A Guru sets the seeker on the right course, allowing them to lead a values-based life aligned with their higher purpose.

A Guru accelerates one's personal growth. Learning exclusively through books, online courses and self-study can only take one so far. A Guru goes beyond mere academics - they transmit wisdom through their presence and energy. Years of spiritual discipline allow them to unlock inner domains of consciousness within their disciples through a look, a touch or just by being in their vicinity. By surrendering to their guidance, the seeker can achieve in months what might have otherwise taken years. A living Guru also customizes their teaching methods to the unique needs of seekers, optimizing their transformational process.

Finally, a Guru provides counsel and comfort in difficult times. When faced with failures, losses or uncertainty, the Guru’s perspective and reassurance give strength to keep going. By having unflinching faith in their disciple’s potential, a Guru inspires hope. Their very presence radiates peace and joy that lightens the heaviest burden. The unconditional acceptance and love of the Guru are a refuge for the seeker in a confusing and hostile world. Once the Guru's grace descends, no adversity can unsettle the disciple's equanimity and confidence.

Why do you need a Guru?

The Pancha Koshas, often referred to as the "five sheaths", encompass the different aspects of human existence, as per the Vedantic philosophy of Sanatana Dharma. These koshas are Annamaya Kosha (the physical body), Pranamaya Kosha (the energy body), Manomaya Kosha (the mental body), Vijnanamaya Kosha (the intellectual body), and Anandamaya Kosha (the bliss body). Each layer represents a different dimension of human life, from the most tangible physical form to the most subtle state of bliss and spiritual enlightenment. The journey through these koshas is seen as a path to self-realization, where an individual transcends the physical and mental constraints to experience the ultimate state of bliss and unity with the divine.

The Chakras, on the other hand, are energy centers within the human body, crucial in the practice and understanding of Yoga and Tantra within Sanatana Dharma. There are seven primary chakras, each located at a specific point along the spine, from the base to the crown of the head. These chakras are Muladhara (root), Svadhisthana (sacral), Manipura (solar plexus), Anahata (heart), Vishuddha (throat), Ajna (third eye), and Sahasrara (crown). Each chakra is associated with different aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. The practice of yoga and meditation often focuses on awakening and balancing these chakras, leading to a harmonious state of being and spiritual awakening. The alignment and balance of these chakras are believed to be essential for physical health, emotional stability, and spiritual growth.

Together, the Pancha Koshas and Chakras form a comprehensive framework in Sanatana Dharma for understanding the multi-dimensional nature of human beings. They provide a roadmap for spiritual growth, emphasizing the importance of balancing and harmonizing every aspect of our existence. The interplay between the koshas and chakras outlines a holistic approach to well-being, encouraging individuals to nurture their physical, mental, and spiritual health. This integrated perspective is fundamental to the spiritual practices and philosophies within Sanatana Dharma, guiding practitioners towards self-realization and enlightenment.

Pancha koshas and Chakras

Sanmarga Srividya, generally means the "right path" or "true path." In a spiritual context, it refers to a path that is powerful, direct, and most efficient.

A significant aspect of Sanmarga Srividya is the awakening of the Kundalini energy. This dormant spiritual energy, believed to reside at the base of the spine, is awakened and guided through the chakras (energy centers) to achieve higher states of consciousness. Sanmarga Srividya emphasizes a balanced and holistic approach to life, integrating spiritual practice with ethical living, service, and compassion.

Sanmarga Srividya integrates these three elements as tools for spiritual growth. Tantra involves esoteric practices, rituals, and ceremonies. Mantra refers to sacred chants or syllables used for invocation and meditation. Yantra is a symbolic representation, often the Sri Yantra, used as a focus point during meditation.

However, there is always more to that which is understood without experience.

How can we master our Destiny?

The concepts of singularity and duality in existence, as represented by Advaita and Dvaita philosophies, can be understood through their distinct interpretations of the universe, the self, and the divine.
<ol>
 	<li>Advaita (Singularity): Advaita Vedanta embodies the idea of singularity in existence by advocating the philosophy of non-dualism. This perspective sees the universe as a unified whole, where the individual self (Atman) and the universal essence (Brahman) are fundamentally one and the same. In this view, the apparent multiplicity and diversity of the world are perceived as an illusion (Maya). The ultimate reality is singular – a seamless, indivisible oneness. The journey in Advaita is towards realizing this fundamental truth, where individual distinctions dissolve into the universal singularity, leading to spiritual liberation.</li>
 	<li>Dvaita (Duality): Dvaita Vedanta, on the other hand, exemplifies the concept of duality in existence. It posits a clear and eternal distinction between the individual soul (Jiva) and the supreme God (Brahman). In this dualistic framework, the universe is real and not an illusion. It is a dynamic interplay of distinct entities – the individual souls, the material world, and the supreme God. Each entity has its own unique and unchangeable nature. The path of spiritual progress in Dvaita involves recognizing and honoring this duality, ultimately leading to a harmonious relationship with the divine through devotion and recognition of this eternal separation.</li>
</ol>
In summary, while Advaita presents a vision of existence as an undifferentiated singularity where all distinctions are seen as illusory, Dvaita upholds a view of the universe as fundamentally dualistic, with a clear demarcation between the divine and the individual soul. Both these philosophies, in their respective approaches, seek to explain the nature of reality and guide individuals on their spiritual paths.
