The Ego Friendly Banter

I WANTED TO OFFER YOU SOMETHING simple but deeply powerful in return for joining me on the channel. Thank you so much.

Please receive this offering with an open heart.

🙏🏼♥️🌸

This mantra doesn’t need chanting, effort, or understanding but ONLY SEEING.

“OM HANU PHASHA BHARA HE YE SVAHA”

It’s from the sutra Pagpa Chu Lung Rolpai Do, known as the “Just by Seeing” mantra. The Buddha said that simply looking at this mantra purifies 100,000 eons of negative karma.

Below, I’ve shared an image of the mantra and Lama Zopa Rinpoche, who preserved and spread this practice. He carried it everywhere, on a hat, on his doors, so that even a glance could become a moment of purification.

Let this mantra work quietly within you.
Just see it. Let it bless you.

Love,
P

P.S.- When I shared this last time, I had only 50 people with me here. Guess it will be a ritual now on, for every couple hundred subscribers, I’ll share the post again as a reminder.

For those interested, here are the primary books I’m drawing from for the Tara series. A few additional sources are mentioned in the description of the first video.

I may not share everything from these texts, as the focus of this series is on channeled teachings and shadow work. That said, each of these works offers valuable insight into her nature. Even a basic understanding of the mechanisms through which she operates reveals something magical & endearing.

This image is for reference only, as most of my collection is on Kindle.💚

Na Jaanaami Daanam Na Ca Dhyaana-Yogam
Na Jaanaami Tantram Na Ca Stotra-Mantram |
Na Jaanaami Puujaam Na Ca Nyaasa-Yogam
Gatis-Tvam Gatis-Tvam Tvam-Ekaa Bhavaani ||3||
- Bhavanyastakam, Adi Shankaracharya
“Neither do I know Charity, nor Meditation and Yoga,
Neither do I know the practice of Tantra, nor Hymns and Prayers,
Neither do I know Worship, nor dedication to Yoga,
You are my Refuge, You Alone are my Refuge, Oh Mother.”

She is Brahman in the act of becoming, breathing itself into form as mind, matter, sensation, and world. Nothing exists outside this movement. Every particle, every thought, every silence between heartbeats is consciousness mid-gesture. To bow before Devi with this understanding is to see that the perceiver, the act of perceiving, and whatever is perceived are all one motion, the Mother briefly turning to recognise herself through the instrument of YOUR awareness. I keep on talking about this on the channel that what the tradition calls māyā is not illusion in the dismissive sense, it is more like a spell of forgetting, the consciousness that has become so absorbed in its own forms that it no longer recognises itself as the one doing the appearing.

Navratri is the gradual lifting of that spell. Most potent days to immerse oneself in the wisdom of primordial feminine principle, Shakti. Take out time to connect with Her in any frequency or form you feel drawn to. Let Her do Her magic! 🪄

Hi all,
Hoping 2026 is treating you all well so far. Here’s an amazing meditative video with praises to 21 Taras. If done with right intention, daily sadhna of this can be extremely beneficial & MIRACULOUS. You’ll feel the vibrations all over within & outside of your body within few repetitions. Do it with an open mind.

I am wondering if I should make a series on all emanations & how they can help us. Guess, she will let me know when it’s time to do it.

Until then, happy meditating!
Love,
P

The Ego Friendly Banter

An ancient hymn I recently translated on my blog:
lettersfromshirdi.com/2026/01/06/bhramarashtakam-e…

These verses use the black bumblebee as a powerful metaphor for the deluded human soul trapped in saṃsāra. Through vivid, and tragic images of the bee’s futile pursuits, mistaken attractions, and inevitable suffering, it illustrates the folly of attachment, the deceptiveness of sensory pleasures, and the pain caused by ignorance and fate. It evokes deep compassion for all beings entangled in the illusions of saṃsāra, ultimately pointing toward the need for discernment, contentment, and liberation. This was the first poem I read from the book & decided to translate entire collection just because of it. I have mentioned my reflections as well!

Love,
P

HOW TO PRACTISE TO REMAIN AS THE SELF?

Everybody knows and feels that he exists. There cannot be any time when a person feels, "I do not exist". Hence the main inherent attribute of the Self is 'Awareness of existence' or 'Awareness and Existence (Chit and Sat)' - ie. 'I AM'. As there is no doubt in anyone's mind about one's being or existence, it should be possible for one to practise daily for some time to remain merged in the feeling of "amness" or "existence" to the exclusion of all thoughts, just like a new born baby.

A baby which is just born has no vocabulary of any language and so cannot think of any object. One has to think in one language or other. So a child just born cannot have any thoughts. It can only feel. When once its basic need of hunger and thirst are satisfied, the only feeling the child will possibly have is the feeling or knowledge of being or amness.

The knowledge that someone or something else 'is' or exists (say, my neighbour or a pot) is an indirect knowledge derived through my senses like my eye and established by the conditioning of my mind which has learnt about what is a pot and how it looks like,
etc. On the contrary, the fact that 'I AM' is a direct knowledge which has come to me instinctively directly from the very EXISTENCE and not through my senses.

Hence if a person manages initially to sit for a
few hours daily directing his attention (through
imagination) to the spiritual heart and get merged in the feeling of "amness" or "BEING" or "I AM" like the newborn child, he is sure to get Self-Realisation.

One condition is that he should not think or repeat "I AM" like a Mantra. Secondly, he should not add any more qualifications to "I AM" - like, 'I am a man', 'I am 40 years old', 'I am an Engineer', etc.

A new born child cannot add or think of such
epithets. One of the recent philosophers of repute, late Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj of 'I AM THAT' fame has claimed that by adopting the process of 'I am' as directed by his Guru, he had attained Self realisation (enlightenment) in three years' time. This method of remaining in one's being or Self is nothing but another version of the other method of enquiry as to, "Who am I ?” advocated by Bhagavan Ramana.

Ramana Maharshi has said that, "Even if he thinks constantly I-I, one will be led to that place", ie. the source of 'I' or mind. This method has also been advocated by Ashtavakra as an instant 'Moksha capsule' .

"Bereft of the body-sense, if you can remain
resting in your Self alone, you will, here and now, become blissful, peaceful and free from bondage."

According to Ramana Maharshi,
"There is nothing so simple as being the Self. It requires no effort, no aid. One has to leave off wrong identity and be in one's eternal, natural and inherent state."

(TALKS with Sri Ramana Maharshi, Talk No.101).

May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
may the clarity of light be yours,
may the fluency of the ocean be yours,
may the protection of the ancestors be yours.

And so may a slow
wind work these words
of love around you,
an invisible cloak
to mind your life.

John O’Donohue, Echoes of Memory 🌸🙏🏼♥️

I wish everyone a very happy, abundantly prosperous new year wrapped in grace & miracles which keep reminding us of the light we carry & embody the same light as it also carries us. May we follow our path & purpose which might sometimes be “just being”. May we be humble students & teachers of life. May we all love truly, madly, deeply, unconditionally & be love itself, all while remembering to fill our own cups first before sharing from our depths. May we all heal at the deepest levels across all specs of time & space.

Extending my Guru’s blessings to everyone here & all those who will be joining here in 2026 (& after of course). You all are loved. You all are held.

Sending much love & contentment,
P

Blessings! Blessings! Blessings! ✨

⚠️

PLEASE NOTE:

After energy work or deep inner healing, it’s very common to feel low on energy and emotionally sensitive, and this does not mean something has gone wrong. It just means your system is resetting. Earlier, your body and mind were running on stress, control, and constant alertness. When that switches off, energy drops temporarily, just like feeling tired after finally relaxing. At the same time, emotions that were pushed down like sadness, anger, fear, tears, or emptiness start coming up because the body finally feels safe enough to release them. Your nervous system shifts from “survival mode” to “rest and repair,” and that repair takes energy, so fatigue is normal. The emotions may feel intense, but they pass on their own if you don’t overthink them. The main mistake is assuming “something is wrong” and trying to fix it; that only brings stress back. If you understand this phase as healing and settling, the system naturally stabilises into a calmer, more balanced state.

What helps during this phase (keep it simple):
• Do less for a couple of days; don’t push productivity.
• Eat warm, grounding food and take slow walks.
• Rest, sleep, hydrate well.
• Notice emotions without analysing or judging them, let them move through.

Love,
P
