The third eye is open - get to it!

The pair celebrate Sandy’s appearance day (birthday) and discuss the significance of milestones, and why it’s important to celebrate even when the world is on fire. They share traditions from each of their cultures (Keith’s Filipino and Sandy’s Danish). The conversation moves towards a contemplation on melancholy, longing, abundance and the great privilege of having access to these teaching. And maybe one day there’ll be cucumber cake.

Today’s mantra:

oṃ tryambakaṃ yajāmahe sugandhiṃ puṣṭi-vardhanam urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā’mṛtāt

(Mahāmṛtyuṃjaya Mantra - Great Death Defying Mantra from Ṛg Veda & Yajur Veda)

“We worship the supreme light, the Absolute Shiva, who has three eyes, who is fragrant and nourishes all beings. This light is the expression and communication of our life, and it is our physical, mental, and spiritual radiation and prosperity. Kindly release us from all calamities, bondage, and suffering, just as the cucumber is released from its stalk, without any injury. May our minds be absorbed into Shiva, amrta (nectar), the ocean of tranquility.”

~ Translation & Commentary by Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati
