The Power of Faith

Leave a comment

Awareness that you are searching  for…the deliverance from all the so called inflictions and challenging circumstances  you are experiencing…

Its all in the Space that you occupy. If  the Earth element catches  fire, its remains become ash.  If water engulfs earth everything decays.

The more you resist and pull the greater is the entanglement.
True liberation is from the clutches of ego in ignorance.


What does it take to the awareness of letting go completely? The ability to see beyond the temporary illusions of attachment takes profound faith.

For faith is all there is.Without it nothing is.

Interestingly I wrote this  contemplation  while reading  ‘Gajendra Moksham story & Stotram .

Here is the story below

Gajendra Moksham is one of most spiritually significant stories in the Srimad Bhagavatam A story of divine  intervention and  total surrender.

The story is set in Mount Trikuta, where Gajendra, the majestic king of the elephant herd went to drink water from the lake and pick up the lotus for worship. There Makara a powerful  crocodile clasped his leg… it’s said for 1000 years a fierce tug of war ensued . Inspite of Gajendras strength as he was in the water  which was the crocodiles element  he began to lose his strength.

The Realization

While family and friends  tried their best to help  in time they too couldn’t release him . As he grew exhausted trying Gajendra  realised that his physical  might nor his kin could save him.

And then in total surrender in faith he lifted a lotus flower towards heaven and offered a soul stirring  prayer to God Vishnu. But instead of asking for life he asked for ultimate  liberation from the clutches of ignorance.

God Vishnu hears sincere plea and with his (divine discus) Sudarshana Chakra swiftly  severes the crocodiles head and pulls Gajendra  to safety and grants him Moksha (salvation)

This  is a story of complete trust in the power of faith and divine grace.
