The Five Names of God: Simran Words - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast - A Satsang Without Walls

In many branches of Sant Mat we have a five-name (panch naam) mantra (five simran words). These are sacred names of God associated with the first five planes, heavenly realms of creation. From the glossary of Sant Mat we read: "Simran means Remembrance: repetition of names or thoughts; in Sant Mat, the simran of worldly thoughts is controlled through the Simran of the Five Charged Names, repeated by an initiate throughout the day, and when sitting for meditation, as a means of collecting the thought-currents at the Third Eye Center. These Divine names are also used as passwords of sorts to higher planes, and provide protection from Negative Power influences." (Repeat the Name)

Today: all about the Five Names of Sant Mat, their proper use as an essential technique to concentrate at the Third Eye Center and go within according to Hazur Baba Sawan Singh, Sant Garib Das, from the Satsang Discourses of Sant Ram Singh, as well as there is discussion about the origins and history of the Five Names dating back to the Kabir-Sant Dharam Das line of Masters. Also explored: the Five Sufi Names, and about the importance of the Most High name Radhasoami used by Sant Garib Das (Anmol Vachan) and Swami Ji Maharaj (Sar Bachan Radhaswami Poetry). In Sant Mat mysticism there are not five or seven deities but one God, the one Lord of the Soul  manifesting at the various levels of creation. As Guru Nanak has said in his Morning Prayer (Jap Ji): "There is One God, Truth is His Name." (One Love)

Simran is described as a Bhakti practice to be done in a spirit of love and devotion, with passages on this from Sant Tulsi Sahib and Kabir. (God is Love)

Mention is made of a mystical Jewish Gnostic sect of antiquity referred to by scholars as the Sethians who also had a five-name mantra approach, only using five Hebrew names, which are to be found embedded in certain Nag Hammadi and other texts. Recommended are two books that compare contemporary Sant Mat with mystical Judaism including Kabbalah. The program concludes with selections from the mystical poetry of a mysterious figure called "the Master" and "the Teacher of Righteousness", mystic verses found in the Psalm Scroll of the Dead Sea Scrolls mainly about the experience of Divine Light, but one might also notice references to reincarnation, the liberation of the soul, the Third Eye, and spiritually hearing the Divine Word or Spiritual Sound. Note: practices associated with contemporary Sant Mat were also known in earlier times by followers of various cousin mystical movements and schools of spirituality that have existed over the centuries. Even ideas that became associated Christianity and Gnostic movements such as seeking out living masters or living ones (Odes of Solomon, Gospel of Thomas), vegetarian ethics, humane treatment of animals (scriptures attributed to Enoch and Isaiah), initiations, baptism in rivers of living water, a new covenant (Dead Sea Scroll texts), genesis interpretations that include a lesser demiurge figure and a sophia wisdom figure (Septuagint, Apocryphon of John), the view that the soul needs to ascend through a series of heavenly regions (Book of First Enoch, Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice, Ascension of Isaiah, Ginza Rabba) are ideas developed during the Second Temple period of Judaism. Continuations and interpretations of Judaic ideas were adopted by many sects and spiritual movements during the first and later centuries AD. (Education For a More Peaceful Planet!)

What Is Jappa or Gap Meditation?

"Getting in the Gap" is a book by author and spiritual teacher Wayne Dyer centered around meditation. The book aims to help readers achieve a greater sense of inner peace and connect with their spiritual selves through the practice of meditation.

One of the key ideas in the book is that by focusing on the space between our thoughts, or "the gap", we can quiet our minds and connect with our true selves. Dyer provides guidance on how to cultivate this practice through different meditation techniques, such as breath awareness and mantra repetition.

Overall, "Getting in the Gap" is a well-written and accessible guide to meditation that can be helpful for both beginners and more experienced practitioners. Dyer's writing is clear and engaging, and he provides practical advice and exercises to help readers develop their meditation practice.

That being said, some readers may find the book to be overly simplistic or lacking in depth, particularly if they are already familiar with meditation or have explored other spiritual practices. Additionally, some readers may find that Dyer's focus on positive thinking and self-help concepts can be somewhat repetitive or formulaic.

Overall, I would recommend "Getting in the Gap" to anyone who is interested in exploring the practice of meditation or looking for guidance on how to connect with their spiritual selves. While the book may not be groundbreaking or particularly original, it provides a solid introduction to meditation and can be a helpful resource for those looking to deepen their practice.

The Sitting Month “Zuo Yeuzi”

by Alysse 

What is Zuo Yeuzi?

Zuo Yeuzi is the act of confining oneself in the home for 30 days after delivery. Zuo Yeuzi is a form of traditional Chinese postpartum recovery. There are many types of postpartum confinement in different cultures. In Japan it is known as “Sango no hidachi” and Korea it is known as “Samchili”. In Latin American countries it is known as “La cuarentena” and in India it is known as “Jappa”. In the different cultures the postpartum confinement can last anywhere from 30 to 100 days. This has been practiced for years to have the new mother heal and get to know her baby (ies).

What are the restrictions for Zuo Yeuzi?

The new mom would be confined to the bed with her baby (ies) and her mother or another family member would take care of the house and meals.  The new mom is to stay warm and to only eat warm foods and drink hot tea. She is not allowed to bathe or shower as this may chill her as she is drying off. There are no visitors permitted, reading and watching TV is also a no go.

Can Zuo Yeuzi fit in your lifestyle?

Now Zuo Yeuzi can be quite strict. There are ways you could practice without following all of the rules. Instead of being confined for 30 days you could try 2 weeks with or without all of the restrictions. You may decide to not have any visitors for a bit after baby is born to allow time for bonding and getting into a schedule. Perhaps having a family member or friend come over and help with house chores or making meals for a while so you can spend much needed time getting used to being a mother either for the first time or again, spending time cuddling or nursing baby and resting, after all birth can be a very tiring experience. Instead of going without a bath or shower you could blow dry your hair right after to keep you from getting chilled.

If you would like to know more about Zuo Yeuzi, Or any other changes you could make to have Zuo Yeuzi fit into your lifestyle. The book ‘Zuo Yeuzi An American Mothers Guide to Chinese Postpartum Recovery’ is a great resource.

In All You Do: Simran

Whatever you're doing -- giving or taking, laughing or playing, singing or eating -- keep repeating the Name. With your every action keep calling God. Alone or with others, fighting or grinding grain, moving or sitting -- keep calling him. At the end, when leaving your body, keep saying his Name, says EKnath.

-- Sant EKnath of Maharashtra
