Guru Gita 140 Japa facing Agnicone bring attraction (Vasya); Vayu cone ruin enemies. Japa facing Niruthi cone or Eshana cone for knowledge. Shiva says… doing Japa facing Agnicone is used for Vasya - attraction. Japa facing Vayu cone ruin enemies. Facing Niruthi cone and Eshana cone give knowledge. A yogi must be able to pass into, and continue in, the superconsciousness, regardless of multitudinous distractions never absent from this earth. Whether in the buzz of insects or the pervasive glare of day-light, the testimony of the senses must be barred. Sound and sight come then indeed, but to worlds fairer than the banished Eden. ( From Autobiography of a Yogi.)

✦ Story behind this post

My grandmother traced ancient Tamil Brahmi script with trembling fingers, teaching me stories carved into stone centuries ago. In Srivilliputhur's temples, she whispered teachings that connected us to something greater than ourselves. Those patient lessons became my greatest treasure, rewarded not by praise but by understanding blooming within my heart. She showed me how wisdom flows from teacher to student like sacred water through generations. Every glyph I learned was a bridge spanning time. Her guidance illuminated paths I'd never see alone. Now I pass these teachings forward, knowing our heritage thrives when we honor those who came before, building community through shared memory.
