Benefits of Group Full Moon Mediation

It is very important that we follow the full moon discipline and every month, individually or in group formation, do our meditation and attend group services if possible. The group service is more beneficial for the general public than individual observation of the full moon. The reason is that in individual meditation it is possible that one can draw more energy than he is capable of using or operating with, and this causes over- stimulation within his vehicles. But in a group formation the evoked energy is distributed evenly, and everyone is benefited according to his or her evolution. If we miss observing one or two full moons, we lose the benefit of those full moons and do not develop harmoniously, just as a melody missing two or three measures becomes incomplete. But if we follow each full moon year after year we benefit harmoniously from all twelve or thirteen elements that reach us through our discipline and meditation. Each full moon provides a different chemical element, and those chemical elements must be received and assimilated if we expect a harmonious development in our nation and right relationship with the greater Life.

Overcoming our Karma

People have the opinion that karma cannot be changed. This is not true. Karma can be changed, although you need to spend more energy than the amount of energy you used to create the karma. For example, a true change in your motives, a true renunciation, a true penance, a real decision to change our conduct, a real and deep dedication to a deep humanitarian cause, a heroic and sacrificial act can transform your life, minimize your past karma, or even totally annihilate it.
You can overcome your karma by raising the level of consciousness and working hard to repair the damage you did to others . You can increase your beauty, goodness, light , joy and freedom and overcome a certain amount of your karma. Striving towards the summits of beauty and freedom breaks heavy layers of your karma.
Spreading the knowledge of karma wherever you go can takes away a certain amount of your karmic taxations. Meditation and prayer help you reduce to a great degree your disciplinary karma. Your karma can be lightened if you never encourage people to increase their karmic debs, Your karma can be reduced to a great extent if you do not join or associate with people who are full of hatred, separatism, selfishness and greed.
It is possible to expand our consciousness to such a degree that we become aware of our karma and cooperate with it in full measure. It is also possible that once we reach the stage of knowing our karma,and if absolutely necessary, we can change our karma through our fiery thoughts.
Karma can be changed through spiritual striving through fiery thoughts, and through transmuting our consciusness. Such a change is introduced or induced not because of fear, not because of personal interests, BUT BECAUSE OF A DIRE NEED FOR SACRIFICIAL SERVICE. This does not mean to break the law but to meet the law in a different way.
THE DECISIVE FACTOR IN YOUR KARMA IS NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, IS NOT WHAT YOU HAVE M BUT WHAT YOU DID AND WHAT YOU ARE.

Why should we not share Inner Teachings With Everyone?

That is the quality of a lot of people. They have nice, they have good hearts, but you cannot teach them much. People who are not sufficiently intelligent enough cannot be taught the inner teachings.You can teach them japa and bhajans, you can teach them Bhakti Yoga. Through bhakti yoga they can evolve, but they inner teachings cannot be given to them because they get confused.

There is also a saying , "Do not throw pearls to swine". It means do not throw the pearls of wisdom, the priceless teachings to pigs. What do pigs symbolize? Pigs can bite, they can be violent, especially during the mating season.Swines or pigs symbolize people with unregulated emotions or unregulated desires; they represent people who are enslaved by their lower nature. The lower nature consists of their instincts, lower emotions and thoughts.

You cannot teach such people the higher Teachings. That is why they need purification and charactr building. This is why the Rishis or Avatars did not reveal the higher teachings to the public, because they could not understand them. The Teachings could not be given to them, so they were told stories instead.
