Сhaturmasya 2026
Strict and fair energy that gathers you, returns you back to yourself. You have to realize where you end and another starts, whose dreams you're chasing, whose feelings you feel, and whose life you live. Then stop being not you. Reclaim yourself.
It's actually part of the global trends, individualization and awareness.
Being aware of what you are and what you are like - and being only that.#Сhaturmasya #GlobalTrends #mindfulness #mindset #life #motivation #India #hinduism #inspiration #awakening #change

Marco Rubio: Time for civilization to fight the darkness
It is helpful to clarify the situation by terming this particular socio-political abomination of promoting borderlessness, Wokeism, Islamism, no proper security but persecution for citizens of states hosting mass illegal migrants, and two-tier policing as a form of the ‘Far Left’. -
THIS #MONASTERY HAS #NETFLIX 💎
My life has become much simpler.
I live with #Peter and the pups.
There are fires to light, meals to eat, rooms to clean, bills to pay, bodies to care for, and all the ordinary things that come and go.
Three times a day, I stop and practise.
I sit down.
I breathe.
I return to the body and to stillness.
More and more, the rest of my life takes its place around that.
Not practice as preparation for something else.
Practice as the whole of a life.
I sometimes think of myself as a #monk living in the world.
I have no robe, no formal vows, and no monastery.
This one has Netflix, two small white dogs, and a man called Peter who thinks A Course in Miracles is woo-woo.
But the direction is clear.
I am no longer looking for another teacher, system, country, experience, or improved version of myself.
I spent much of my life searching.
I travelled, followed teachers, joined communities, read #books and looked for something that might finally explain me to myself.
Now the search has become unnecessary.
A Course in Miracles says that I did not create myself.
If I did not create myself, I am not responsible for creation.
I do not have to force #reality to behave according to my ideas or make the universe look the way I thought it should.
I can stop trying to manage what I did not make.
That is an enormous relief.
“I need do nothing” no longer sounds passive.
It sounds sane.
It does not mean lying around while the roof collapses.
It means I do not have to manufacture reality, defend an identity, or improve what God created.
I can live the life in front of me.
I can breathe, love Peter, rub the #pups’ backs, keep the fire going, and write what is true.
Perhaps that is what overcoming the world means.
Not defeating it or escaping it.
Simply no longer asking it to provide what it cannot give.
The world can still be funny, beautiful, irritating, tender, and absurd.
But it is no longer home.
Practice is home now.
Breath is home.
#Stillness is #home
And this ordinary #life is enough.

My Final Hurrah!
Just published on Amazon my 20th book (I hope this will be my last book) “Summa Iru: My Formal Renunciation and Farewell to the World“. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H87DDNRM)
Just a few hours back I published on Amazon another book “Advaita Vedanta through Name-and-Form Analysis”, which was written largely with the help of Claude. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H84F82HS)
About the Book: “Summa Iru: My Formal Renunciation and Farewell to the World“
“It is time I ended the ignorance in myself.”
With these words, a writer, poet, and lifelong student of Advaita Vedanta announces his formal withdrawal from the world — effective July 16, 2026, his 62nd birthday. Not a retreat from failure, nor a flight from grief, but the logical terminus of a life spent reading, thinking, debating, and writing about one thing: the ending of ignorance, which is the ending of the seeker himself.
Summa Iru is the author’s twentieth and, by its own declaration, final book — a parting document composed in the months before silence. It gathers the last poems (“Without Her By My Side,” “The Me Time,” “I The Stranger,” “The Last Act”), the last aphorisms (“Even God disappears when you are silent”), and the last philosophical exchanges of a man tying up loose ends before going incommunicado.
Between the poems runs a sustained meditation in the tradition of Ramana Maharshi and the Ashtavakra Gita: Why does psychoanalysis fail where self-enquiry succeeds? Why is renouncing desires mere symptom-treatment while the disease of ignorance festers? What did Ramana mean when he said the future is already fixed — and that the best course is to remain silent? How does summa iru — “just be still” — dissolve the questioner along with the question?
The book also records something rarer: the texture of leave-taking itself. Letters declined. Friendships gently closed. A reply to a friend asking for a small favour: “Sorry dear, I have retired from all work and all relationships.” The ache of unrequited love examined without flinching and traced back to its root — the unworthiness we feel sitting alone with ourselves, forever seeking the other who will transport us away from our own insignificance.
Drawing on Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj, the Ashtavakra Gita, J. Krishnamurti, Buber, Kant, Camus, and the ghazal tradition, this is comparative philosophy written not from the armchair but from the departure gate.
For readers of Advaita Vedanta, spiritual memoir, and contemplative poetry — and for anyone who has wondered what it would actually take to stop.
The author will not be available for comment. That is rather the point.

“In her magisterial book The Great Partition, Yasmin Khan offers a sobering conclusion: The Partition of 1947 is also a loud reminder, should we care to listen, of the dangers of colonial interventions and the profound difficulties that dog regime change. It stands testament to the follies of empire, which ruptures community evolution, distorts historical trajectories and forces violent state formation from societies that would otherwise have taken different—and unknowable—paths. Partition is a lasting lesson of both the dangers of imperial hubris and the reactions of extreme nationalism. For better or worse, two nations continue to live alongside each other in South Asia and continue to live with these legacies.”

## Mahabharata
When I wanted to listen to the Mahabharata I simply went into my podcast client *Antenna Pod on Android* and searched for `Mahabharata`
I then got a hit to which I subscribed immediately. I didn't even need to go to the website that I linked below, my clients simply fetch the ***RSS feed*** which I shall also include in the sources
I shall dwell only **briefly** up on the content of the Mahabharata here. Instead of a full story, I shall point you to Wikipedia feeds regarding this beautiful ***Epic***
## The Mahabharata is so vast that the physical books cover the *entire length* of a living room!
**Artie** has also talked about the Mahabharata, in her podcast. She has studied the subject at the *University of Canada* and she has been studying at the time of her recording, the Mahabharata for 25 years.
Artie drew the same conclusion as I have**You will never be able to remember everything about the Mahabharata just what is important to you, in your life...**
I have screenshots of my podcast reader ready but chose not to include them, because it doesn't matter what you use in order to listen to the ***Stories of the Mahabharata***. What does matter is that if you're interest is sparked, you can listen to it, but most important you should actually **read *the Mahabharata***.
I don't need to tell you that reading something yourself, is more powerful than listening to an audiobook or a podcast
*I'm certain you've also read Stephen King's Christine, just like me, in just a couple of hours and have experienced how reading a great book forms in your mind. I'm also certain that you know The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge by heart❤️ just like I do.*
Naturally I'm kidding; those are my experiences though and they have formed incredible synapse connections within my brain system and my Atma
You don't need to read the Stories of the Mahabharata in Sanskrit, it is probably translated in whatever language you speak natively.
I enjoy listening to the podcast as a supplement to the actual books. I am a multilingual individual and thus can enjoy this Epic and multiple languages.
The statistics of the Mahabharata are astonishing
* 100,000 I repeat 100,000 Shlokas
* Stories within Stories **Bhagvad Gita** e.g
* ***16 million and Mahabharata***
* **16 million snakes** fall from the sky in the beginning
* **16 million people die** in the **massive war** that erupts at the climax of the Epic
* These statistics are iterated and reiterated by **Artie** in her podcast
* Arti approaches the Mahabharata from a point of view of **science and literature** not as Holy Scripture## spawn
When the Mahabharata begins, snakes fall out of the sky. Snakes, many of them. If you want to hear that level of beginning you should listen to the podcast of ArtieThe Stories of Mahabharata by Shudipta Bhoumic, is a treasure to listen to, even while you are riding in traffic. He has the incanny ability to talk about the Mahabharata in a very comfortable form and manner, only a scholar on the subject can do
Note;
The **Bhagavad Gita** is an **excerpt** of the Mahabharata
* The Gita is short
* teaches you about Dharma
* while the War is coming close
* you learn how to life as a warrior and a Dharmic Atma
* is a Epic within an Epic
* **People have learned the Bhagvad Gita by heart** (it;s short irt the Mahabharata)For the rest I advise you, to go on your own Mahabharata Discovery Mission. I've given you some of the tools that I use
## Have fun!

Spirituality & Religious Studies @spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com@spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com ·Apotheosis
This is also called divinization or deification. It’s from the Latin deificato, meaning “making divine.” This is the glorification of a subject to divine levels & commonly, the treatment of a human being, any other living thing, or an abstract idea in the likeness of a deity.
The original sense of apotheosis relates to religion & is the subject of many works of art. Figuratively “apotheosis” may be used in almost any context for “the deification, glorification, or exaltation of a principle, practice, etc.” So normally attached to an abstraction of some sort.
In religion, apotheosis was a feature of many religions in the ancient world. Some that are active today. It requires a belief that there’s a possibility of newly created God’s, so a polytheistic belief system.
The Abrahamic religions of Christianity, Islam, & Judaism don’t allow this. Though many recognize minor sacred categories such as saints. They’re created by a process called canonization. In Christian theology, there’s a concept of the faithful becoming god-like, called divinization or in Eastern Christianity theosis.
In Hinduism, there’s some range for new deities. A human may be deified by becoming regarded as an avatar of an established deity, usually a major one, or by being regarded as a new, independent deity (usually a minor one), or a mix of the 2.
In art, an apotheosis scene usually shows the subject in the Heavens or rising towards them. They’re often partnered by a number of angels, putti, personifications of virtues, or similar figures.
Especially from Baroque art onwards apotheosis scenes may show rulers, generals, or artists purely as an honorific symbol. In many cases, the “religious” context is classical Greco-Roman pagan religion, like The Apotheosis of Voltaire, which features Apollo. The Apotheosis of Washington (1865) sits high in the dome of the United States of America Capitol Building is another example. Personification of places or abstractions are also shown receiving an apotheosis. The classic composition was suited for artistic placement on ceilings or inside domes.
Before the Hellenistic period, imperial cults were known in ancient Egypt (pharaohs) & Mesopotamia (from Naran-Sin through Hammurabi). In the New Kingdom of Egypt, all deceased pharaohs were deified as the god Osiris, having been identified as Horus while on the throne. They were sometimes referred to as the “son” of other various deities.
The architect Imhotep was defied after his passing away. Though the process seems to have been gradual. This took over 1,000 years, by which time he had become associated with medicine. About a dozen non-royal ancient Egyptians became regarded as deities.
Ancient Greek & Roman religions have many characters who were born as humans but became gods. Like Disney’s Hercules. They’re usually made divine by 1 of the main deities, the 12 Olympians. In the Roman story of Cupid & Psyche, Zeus gave the ambrosia of the gods to the mortal Psyche. This transformed her into a goddess herself.
In the case of the Hellenistic queen Berenice II of Egypt was deified like other rulers of the Ptolemaic dynasty. The court dispersed a myth that her hair, that was cut off to fulfill a vow, had its own apotheosis before becoming the Coma Berenices, a group of stars that still bear her name.
In the Greek world, the 1st leader who granted himself diving honors was Philip II of Macedon. At the wedding to his 6th wife, Philip’s enthroned image was carried in procession among the Olympian gods. Such Hellenistic state leaders might be raised to a status equal to the gods before death, like Alexander the Great, or afterwards, like members of the Ptolemaic dynasty.
A heroic cult status that’s similar to apotheosis was also an honor given to a few reversed artists of the distant past, such as Homer.
Up to the end of the Roman Republic, the god Quirinus was the only 1 the Romans accepted as having undergone apotheosis, for his identification/syncretism with Romulus. Syncretism is the practice of meshing together different beliefs & various schools of thought. Eventually apotheosis in Ancient Rome was a process whereby a deceased ruler was recognized as divine by their successors. This was usually done by a decree of the Senate & popular consent.
The 1st of these cases was the posthumous deification of the last Roman dictator Julius Caesar in 42 BC by his adopted son, the triumvir Caesar Octavian. In addition to showing respect, the present ruler often deified a popular predecessor to legitimize himself & gain popularity himself & gain popularity with the people.
A vote in the Roman Senate, in the later Empire confirming an imperial decree, was the normal official process. But this sometimes followed a period with the unofficial use of deific language or imagery for the individual. This was often done rather discreetly within the imperial circle.
There was then a public ceremony, called a consecratio, including the release of an eagle which flew high. This represents the ascent of the deified person’s soul to Heaven. Imagery featuring the ascent, sometimes using a chariot, was common on coins & in other art.
The largest & most famous example in art in a relief on the base of the Column of Antoninus Pius, showing the emperor & his wife, Faustina the Elder, being carried up by a much larger winged figure, described as representing “Eternity,” as the personifications of “Roma” & the Campus Martius sit below, & eagles fly above. The imperial couple are represented as Jupiter & Juno (or Zeus & Hera).
The historian Dio Cassius, who said he was present, gives a detailed description of the large, & lavish, public consecratio of Perinax, emperor for 3 months in 193, ordered by Septimius Severus.
At the height of the imperial cult during the Roman Empire, sometimes the emperor’s deceased loved ones (heirs, empresses, or lovers) like Hadrian’s Antinous were deified as well.
Deified people were posthumously given the title ‘Divus’ for men & ‘Diva’ for women to their names to signify their divinity. Traditional Roman religion distinguished between a deus (god) & divus (a mortal who became divine or deified), though not consistently. Temple & columns were erected to provide a space for worship.
The imperial cult was mainly popular in the provinces. Especially in the Eastern Empire, where many cultures were well used to deified rulers, & less popular in Rome itself, & among traditionalists & intellectuals.
Some privately, & cautiously, ridiculed the apotheosis of inept & feeble emperors, as in the satire The Pumkinification of (the Divine) Claudius. This is usually attributed to Seneca.
Numerous mortals have been deified into the Taoist pantheon. Examples are Guan Yi, Iron-crutch Li, & Fan Kuai. Song dynasty general Yue Fei was deified during the Ming dynasty. He’s considered by some practitioners to be 1 of the 3 highest-ranking heavenly generals. The Ming dynasty epic Investiture of the Gods deals heavily with deification legends.
In the complicated, & variable, conceptions of deity in Buddhism, the achievement of Buddhahood may be regarded as an achievable goal for the faithful. Many significant deities are considered to have begun as normal people, from Gautama Buddha (the original Buddha & the creator of Buddhism) downwards. Most of these are seen as avatars or re-births of earlier figures.
Some significant Hindu deities, in particular Rama, were also born as humans. He’s seen as an avatar of Vishnu. In more modern times, Swaminarayan is an undoubted & well-documented historical figure, who’s regarded by some Hindus as an avatar of Vishnu, or as being a still more elevated deity. Bharat Mata (Mother India) began as a national personification devised by a group of Bengali intellectuals in the late 19th century. But now it receives some worship.
Various Hindu & Buddhist rulers in the past have been represented as deities, especially after death, from India to Indonesia. Jayavarman VII, King of the Khmer Empire the 1st Buddhist king of Cambodia, had his own features used for the many statues of Buddha/Avalokitevara he erected.
The extreme personality cult instituted by the founder of North Korea, Kim Il-Sung, has been to represent a deification. And continues to this day with the current leader. Even the nation is admittedly atheist.
In Christian theology, instead of the word “apotheosis,” they use the words “deification” or “divinization” or the Greek word “theosis.” Pre-Reformation, & mainstream theology, in both East & West, views Jesus Christ as the preexisting God who undertook mortal existence. Not as a mortal being who attained divinity. A view known as adoptionism. Adoptionism is an early Christian non-Trinitarian doctrine that holds that Jesus was born a mere human being. But Jesus was later adopted by God as His son, usually at Jesus’ baptism or resurrection, rather than being divine from eternity.
It holds that he has made it possible for human beings to be raised to the level of sharing the divine nature as II Peter 1:4 states that he became human to make humans “partakers of the divine nature.”
In John 10:34, Jesus referenced Psalm 82:6 when he stated: “Is it not written in your Law, I have said you are gods?” Other authors stated: “For this is why the Word became man, & the Son of God became the Son of man: so that Man, by entering into communion with the Word & thus receiving divine sonship, might be made God.” Accusations of self deification to some degree may have been placed on heretical such as the Waldensians.
The language of II Peter is taken up by St. Irenaeus, in his famous phrase, “if the Word has been made man, it is so that men may be made gods.” It becomes the standard in Greek theology. In the 14th century, St. Athanasius repeats Irenaeus almost word for word. In the 5th century, St. Cyril of Alexandria says that we shall become sons “by participation” (Greek methexis). Methexis is “group sharing,” where the audience actively participates in the performance.
Deification is the central idea in the spirituality of St. Maximus the Confessor. For whom the doctrine is the result of the Incarnation: “Deification, briefly, is the encompassion & fulfillment of all times and ages.”
The Roman Catholic Church doesn’t use the term “apotheosis” in its theology. This is equivalent to the Greek word theosis are Latin-derived words “divinization” & deification” used in the Latin tradition of the Catholic Church.
The concept has been given less prominence in Western theology than in that of the Eastern Catholic Churches. But is present in the Latin Church’s liturgical prayer.
Despite the theological differences, in the Catholic church art depictions of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in art & the Ascension of Jesus in Christian art do share many similarities in composition to apotheosis subjects. As there are many images of saints being raised into Heaven.
Anthropolatry is the deification & worship of humans. It was practiced in ancient Japan towards their emperors. Followers of Socinianism were later accused of practicing anthropolatry.

The BJP May End up Tying Itself in Knots By Attacking Udhayanidhi Stalin
