NIRVANA EXPRESS


Now a new book has been published called The Nirvana Express: How Indian spirituality found home in the West. I haven't read it yet but been reading reviews and for sure it is interesting book:

Mick Brown’s exploration of Indian enlightenment in the West, and the adoption of yoga as a tool for or healthy living and spiritual salvation, may feel a bit incomplete, but it’s eminently readable


Brown also tell us about the attraction Buddhism had in the West, about Westerners who embraced  Indian spirituality, about Mehar Baba, about Jiddu Krishnamurti (who broke many hearts when he dramatically turned from a young guru to an anti-guru), about Paul Brunton, whose classic, A Sear ch in Secret India (1934), earned the saintly Ramana Maharshi innumerable Western followers, and the disgraced ‘boy God’ Guru Maharaj Ji (Prem Pal Singh Rawat) whose claim to spiritual greatness fell apart after he secretly married an American air stewardess.


The fact is that Indian spirituality has found a welcome home in the West. Yoga and yoga mats are part of everyday life for a vast number of Westerners, and doctors increasingly recommend meditation to manage stress. Words like mantra, guru and karma have entered the common lexicon and popular culture. Self-help authors improvise on the Vedic repertoire even if they disguise their sources. A litany of spiritual teachers from India helped this evolution over a long period of time. Perhaps, the bad boys of Indian spirituality, too, contributed their bit.

  POHJOLAN VALO Olen kirjoittanut seuraavan kirjoituksen ryhmään Suomen Galaktinen Liitto noin vuosi sitten jossa se otettiin hyvin vastaan. Laitan sen nyt tähänkin ryhmään.  Kaikkien on hyvä tietää asiasta sillä Pohjolan Valo ennustuksen on pelätty aiheuttavan sotaa. Tässä palanen historiaa jossa kerrotaan myös Uus-natsien Pohjolan Valo agendasta ja siihen liitettävään satanismista.  Pohjolan Valo ennustuksesta ja Kalevan kansasta aina silloin tällöin puhutaan facebookissa ja muualla somessa. Ihmisten pitää tietää mitä sillä oikeasti tarkoitetaan ja tässä käyn läpi sen merkitystä. Kerrotaan siis että Blavatsky olisi sanonut kreivitär Watchmeisterille että valo tulee suomesta ja tämä olisi sitten kerrottu Pekka Ervastille. Jos asia todella olisi niin tärkeä ja paikkaansa pitävä, siitä aivan varmasti olisi jätetty Blavatskyn tai Alice Baileyn tuotantoon edes jonkunlaista mainintaa, mutta ei ole muuta kuin suusanalinen huhu. Olen lukenut Blavastkya ja Baileya jo 20 vuoden ajan ja tässä t

 CERN I posted this  about CERN: https://bluelotus01.blogspot.com/2024/03/arent-going-to-tell-you-this.html Here is some more info from different sources. I don't belive in biblical prophecies, but I publish this anyway: Since CERN is reactivating on April 8th, I figured it would be a good time to remind you all that what these freaks over at CERN are doing is not for the greater good of humanity. They are bringing demonic entities over from the other side! The show Stranger Things has a ton of predictive programming involving CERN and the spiritual side of what they are doing. The fact that their logo has a 666 that's clear as day should be reason enough to realize that CERN is working for the enemy. Remember, everything that is happening right now is Biblical! This is a spiritual war. Unfortunately, the majority of the masses aren't in the slightest bit conCERNed about what these wicked people are up to. The spiritual attacks will ramp up so as always, keep putting on the

  NORTHERN LIGHT I have written the following article for the group Finland's Galactic Union about a year ago, where it was well received. I'll put it in this blog now too. It's good for everyone to know about it because the Northren Light prediction has been feared to cause war. Here is a piece of history that also tells about the Northern Light agenda of the Neo-Nazis and the Satanism associated with it. The Northern Light (in finnish Pohjolan Valo) prophecy and the people of Kaleva are talked about every now and then on Facebook and elsewhere on social media. People need to know what it really means and here I go through its meaning. It is said  that Blavatsky would have told the Countess Watchmeister that the light comes from Finland and this would then have been told to Pekka Ervast. If the matter was really so important and true, it would certainly have been mentioned in the works of Blavatsky or Alice Bailey, but it is nothing more than a word of mouth rumor. I have
