Seeing the Deepam on TV is NOT Darshan!

Seeing the Deepam on TV is NOT Darshan

 People should realize that seeing the Deepam on TV or the Internet, is not darshan.
 This is like telling Arunachala: "I'm too busy to come to You. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm just going to look you up on the TV or Internet."Even if not said in so many words, this is the implication; no ifs or buts about it.
 So, this idea of watching the Deepam on TV or the Internet, and concluding that one has gotten the darshan, should be given up in its entirety.
 Arunachala and the most blessed Deepam Jothi should be seen with one's naked eyes, without glasses or contact lenses getting in the way of the Jothi and your eyes, said Sathguru Venkataraman.
 The great blessing of this human birth is that we can see the Arunachala Jothi with our naked eyes. So "get" this blessing by seeing it with your naked eyes in Arunachala... on the Karthigai Deepam day and all subsequent days the Jothi flame is lit at the top of the Arunachala Hill.
 Even if you don't get the darshan of the jothi on all 10 days, at least get it on the 4 days (after Karthigai Deepam) mentioned in the next post.


 Ohm Arunachala Shiva, Arunachala Shiva, Arunachala Shiva, Aruna-ShivOhm.
