Subject: Full Moon Enhances Your Qualities...

One poornima or full moon night some 2,500 years ago, something tremendous happened. After almost eight years of intense sadhana, Gautama Siddhartha had become so weak that his body was almost at the point of death. He came to the swift-flowing Niranjana, a large stream with knee-height water. He tried to cross the river, but halfway, his body became so weak that he could not take another step. But he was not the kind to give up. He held on to a dead branch and just stood there.

It is said that he stood like this for hours. Suddenly, he realised that what he had been seeking was actually within. "So why struggle? All that is needed is absolute willingness, and it is right here. Why am I searching everywhere?" Once he realised this, he found that little extra ounce of energy to take the next few steps, walk across the river and sit down under the now-famous Bodi tree. He sat with the determination that, "Unless the ultimate happens to me, I will not move. Either I will get up enlightened or I will die in this posture." And in one moment, he was there. If it becomes the only priority, one moment is all it takes.

In his own silent way, Gautama changed the world forever. His flowering on that full moon day, 2,500 years ago, has made a significant change for spiritual seekers, whoever or wherever they are.

Any poornima is significant. For one, the full moon has a certain aesthetic quality which improves your receptivity. If you look at anything beautiful, your receptivity to that object increases. The moment you look at anything that you consider ugly, your receptivity to it goes down. Another aspect is, on poornima, the planet is in a certain position in relation to the moon. The vibration and feel of the moon is very different when it is full. And its magnetic pull is also different at that time. It is working upon the surface of the planet which is exposed to the moon. When there is such a natural pull, since your spine is vertical, there is a tendency for your energies to move upward. That means, blood and prana, the fundamental life energies, flow in a different way. Just as tides rise higher on that night because of the moon's gravitational pull, your blood is also being pulled up and the circulation of blood increases in your brain.

This upsurge of energy enhances your qualities, whatever they may be. If you are mentally imbalanced, it will make you even more imbalanced. If you are meditative, it makes you more meditative. If you are loving, it makes you even more loving. If you are fearful, it makes you even more fearful. The same happens with other qualities in you too, but most may not be sensitive enough to notice it.

For seekers, especially those on the meditative path, it is more conducive to meditate on those nights because without an upsurge of energy, without a heightened sense of energy, there is no question of awareness. When there is a heightened sense of energy in your system, what you call awareness will come naturally to you. So we just want to make use of this natural phenomenon which is occurring on that night. So poornima is giving you a free ride of energy and awareness

The 5 Day Art of Silence Course with Sri Sri will be followed up by a GRAND Gurupurninma Celebration with Sri Sri. Since Vedic times, the first full moon in July is considered an auspicious day known as Guru Purnima. It is a day to honor your spiritual teacher or guide, and to feel gratitude for the beautiful wisdom that has come your way, and the great tradition of teachers. While it is a traditional "day of the master," Sri Sri notes that it is really the day of the student; a day to look back and see how you have progressed, express gratitude, and set a vision for the year.
