Bhakti Yoga Dictionary on Visrambha Visrambha - lit. vigita means ‘completely devoid of’ and srambha means ‘awarness of his majesty or greatness’ i.e. complete intimacy without feelings of inferiority or worship. (1) loosening, absence of restraint, confidence, trust, intimacy, love. (2) In his Locana-rocani commentary on Ujjvala-nilamani (14.108) Jiva Gosvami has defined visrambha as the feeling of complete identification with the beloved such that one’s identity is not separate from that of the beloved. In his Ananda-candrika commentary on the same sloka, Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura has defined visrambha as deep faith, devoid of formality. Visrambha impels one to think that one’s life, mind, intelligence, body, and possessions are one in all respects with the life, mind, intelligence, and body of the beloved.

THEO THEO Greek root meaning "god" combines to generate many creative ideas: THEOCRASY -- Mixed worship of the gods; intimacy with the gods. THEOMACHY -- Opposition to divine will; Fighting with the gods. THEOMORPHOSIS -- Transformation into a divine shape. THEOPANAX -- The all-healing god. THEOPHANY -- The showing of divinity in mankind. However, the Neoplatonists meant man recognizing his own divinity showing in himself. THEOPNEUSY -- Divine Inspiration. Another Neoplatonic idea. The inspiration, though divine, is one's own Higher Self. THEOPOEIA -- Godmaking. THEOSIS -- God impulse. Theos is the god's personality or character as opposed to Daimon, a divine power or entity.

Bhakti Yoga Dictionary on Sakhya Sakhya - love or attachment for the Lord which is expressed in the mood of a friend; one of the five primary relationships with Krsna which are established in the heart when the sadhaka has attained the stage of bhava or prema. One of the angas of sadhana-bhakti; the worship of the Lord while one is in the stage of sadhana in the mood of being a friend of the Lord. Although Sri Bhagavan possesses all opulences and majesty, a bhakta who thinks of the Lord as his friend and endeavors to please Him in this way exhibits this mood of friendship toward the Lord. In the summer season, thinking that his worshipful Lord must be suffering greatly from the heat, the sadhaka will fan Him and offer Him sandalwood and other fragrant and cooling substances. When one does so, he demonstrates a mood of friendship toward the Lord. The difference between dasyam and sakhyam is that sakhyam is imbued with visrambha-seva, the mood of intimacy, free from any formal restraint. This is one of the nine primary angas of bhakti.

Social Studies Dictionary - Erickson's Stages of Psychosocial Development Definition and meaning of Erickson's Stages of Psychosocial Development Erickson's Stages of Psychosocial Development - [Psychology] In contrast to Sigmund Freud's psychosexual theory of development, Eric Erickson developed a psychosocial theory. Freud traced early childhood development through a series of stages during which the child learned to control sexual and aggressive urges. The stages include the oral, the anal, and the genital. During the phallic stage boys and girls vie with their parents for the attention of the parent of the opposite sex. In boys this is the Oedipal conflict and in girls it is the Electra Complex. Freud argued that boys often identify with their mothers and girls with their fathers because they see it as a way to be closer to the opposite-sex parent. Erikson recognizes a child's sexual and aggressive urges, the focus of Freud's theory, but Erikson considers the need for social approval to be just as strong. Erikson also views development as a lifelong process. There are eight interrelated stages in psychosocial theory, all of which are organized around a person's ability to direct needs, desires and talents in ways which are socially acceptable and which further feelings of self-confidence. The eight stages include: Trust v. Mistrust (ages 0-1); Autonomy v. Doubt (ages 1-2); Initiative v. Guilt (ages 2-5); Industry v. Inferiority (ages 5-Puberty); Identity v. Role Confusion (Adolescence); Intimacy v. Isolation (Early Adulthood); Generativity v. Stagnation (Middle Age); Integrity v. Despair (Later Adulthood).

Ayurveda Ayurvedic Dictionary on Sex and Relationships Sex & Ayurveda Sex has always been an issue of dichotomy. An integral part of our lives and essential for the continuation of the species, it is far more than just a technical necessity. While social structures in India are quite strict on this, the study of sex - from both its physical and psychological perspectives - has been practiced here from ancient times. Unlike in the west, where this is a fairly recent phenomenon and they are yet to find the proper line of distinction between sex in general and pornography in particular. On the other hand Maharishi Vatsayan's Kamasutra is yet unparalleled as the most comprehensive documentation ever on the practice of sex. Unfortunately, its classic treatment of the act and the art has often been misrepresented. The ancient Ayurvedic text of Charaka Samhita provided complete sexual solutions over 3000 years ago And the time-frozen, stone-carved, erotic sculptures in the temples at Khajuraho and Konarak leave millions of visitors utterly awe-struck by their sheer beauty, elegance and variety. An undying testimony to how intrinsic sex was to the daily lives of people in ancient India. The importance of sex in our lives has remained quite unchanged. The crucial points to be kept in mind in relation to the same being: · Sex is an integral part of our daily habits (Dinacharya). · Night and after two hours of dinner is the ideal time for intimacy, as it is kapha time. · An absolutely satisfying sexual union, when developed over time, bestows you and your partner with health and vitality. · For best results, each of the partners should be physically, emotionally and spiritually involved with the other. · Touch, smell, food, music and ambience play a vital role in developing, increasing and prolonging intimacy. · Perverted or unsatisfying sex has adverse effects on your mental and physical health, as it aggravates your vital energies (doshas) and reduces immunity. An aggravated vata will make you more emotionally vulnerable and fear-prone, increased pitta will move you to anger and even frustration and enhanced kapha will make you more possessive. · The frequency of sex depends on your constitution and seasons - kapha types indulge in sex more frequently than your vata & pitta types thanks to the extra stamina they possess. · Vata types might find satisfaction in changing partners. While the difficult-to-quench-their-desires pitta types are usually in quest for more intensity. For more and better sex therefore, one can practice Vajikaran therapy (virlification) - that part of Ayurveda which enhances male fertility and potency. However, any misuse of the same may open up a deluge of emotional and psychological complications. Use of similar medication (aphrodisiac supplements) instantly induces sexual pleasure and excitement, increases sexual stamina and promotes fertile seminal secretions.

Dictionary on
St St. Germain, the Count of. Referred to as an enigmatical personage by modern writers. Frederic II., King of Prussia, used to say of him that he was a man whom no one had ever been able make out. Many are his "biographies", and each is wilder than the other. By some he was regarded as an incarnate god, by others as a clever Alsatian Jew. One thing is certain, Count de St. Germain - whatever his real patronymic may have been - had a right to his name and title, for he had bought a property called San Germano, in the Italian Tyrol, and paid the Pope for the title. He was uncommonly handsome, and his enormous erudition and linguistic capacities are undeniable, for he spoke English, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russian, Swedish, Danish, and many Slavonian and Oriental languages, with equal facility with a native. He was extremely wealthy, never received a sou from anyone - in fact never accepted a glass of water or broke bread with anyone made most extravagant presents of superb jewellery to all his friends, even to the royal families of Europe. His proficiency in music was marvellous; he played on every instrument, the violin being his favourite. "St. Germain rivalled Paganini himself", was said of him by an octogenarian Belgian in 1835, after hearing the "Genoese maestro". "It is St. Germain resurrected who plays the violin in the body of an Italian skeleton ", exclaimed a Lithuanian baron who had heard both. He never laid claim to spiritual powers, but proved to have a right to such claim. He used to pass into a dead trance from thirty-seven to forty-nine hours without awakening, and then knew all he had to know, and demonstrated the fact by prophesying futurity and never making a mistake. It is he who prophesied before the Kings Louis XV. and XVI., and the unfortunate Marie Antoinette. Many were the still living witnesses in the first quarter of this century who testified to his marvellous memory; he could read a paper in the morning and, though hardly glancing at it, could repeat its contents without missing one word days afterwards; he could write with two hands at once, the right hand writing a piece of poetry, the left a diplomatic paper of the greatest importance. He read sealed letters without touching them, while still in the hand of those who brought them to him. He was the greatest adept in transmuting metals, making gold and the most marvellous diamonds, an art, he said, he had learned from certain Brahmans in India, who taught him the artificial crystallisation ("quickening") of pure carbon. As our Brother Kenneth Mackenzie has it: - " In 1780, when on a visit to the French Ambassador to the Hague, he broke to pieces with a hammer a superb diamond of his own manufacture, the counterpart of which, also manufactured by himself, he had just before sold to a jeweller for 5500 louis d’or". He was the friend and confidant of Count Orloff in 1772 at Vienna, whom he had helped and saved in St. Petersburg in 1762, when concerned in the famous political conspiracies of that time; he also became intimate with Frederick the Great of Prussia. As a matter of course, he had numerous enemies, and therefore it is not to be wondered at if all the gossip invented about him is now attributed to his own confessions: e.g., that he was over five hundred years old; also, that he claimed personal intimacy "with the Saviour and his twelve Apostles, and that he had reproved Peter for his bad temper " - the latter clashing somewhat in point of time with the former, if he had really claimed to be only five hundred years old. if he said that "he had been born in Chaldea and professed to possess the secrets of the Egyptian magicians and sages ", he may have spoken truth without making any miraculous claim. There are Initiates, and not the highest either, who are placed in a condition to remember more than one of their past lives. But we have good reason to know that St. Germain could never have claimed "personal intimacy " with the Saviour. How ever that may be, Count St. Germain was certainly the greatest Oriental Adept Europe has seen during the last centuries. But Europe knew him not. Perchance some may recognise him at the next Terreur which will affect all Europe when it comes, and not one country alone.

Ayurveda Ayurvedic Dictionary on Diagnosis Diagnosis Indian medicine names three main causes of disease – 'overuse', 'disuse' or 'misuse’ of faculties; 'errors in judgement'; and influence of seasonal changes. According to Ayurveda all human diseases can be classified into the seven broad categories, namely: 1. Genetic (Adibalapravritta) · Consists of ailments as obstinate skin diseases, hemorrhoids, diabetes, tuberculosis and asthma that arise primarily due to defects in the sperm (sukra) of the father – when it is called pitrija or the ovum (sonita) of the mother – when it is termed matrja. · Undigested food, abnormal behaviour, addiction of any type and stressful situations affect the reproductive elements of both the male and female, resulting in a defective foetus. 2. Congenital (Janmabalapravritta) · Caused essentially due to nutritional disorder (rasakrita) and unfulfilled cravings of the mother during pregnancy (dauhrdya) · If diet and / or conduct of the mother aggravates vata, the foetus might end up with deformities as kyphosis (hunchback), blindness and dwarfism; increased pitta may cause alopecia and yellowish pigmentation of skin; and enhanced kapha might result in albinism. 3. Constitutional (Doshabalapravritta) · Arise out of any dietary or behavioural disturbance brought about by an imbalance in any one of the three vital physical energies (Tridoshas) or the three vital mental energies (Trigunas). · Thus constitutional disorders are of two types: somatic (Sharirika) & psychic (Manasika). 4. Traumatic (Sanghatabalapravritta) · Undergoing any trauma causing experience – external or internal – leads to this. · External trauma is induced by injuries inflicted by sharp instruments and bites of animals or venomous insects. · Stress and overstrain lead to internal trauma. 5. Seasonal (Klabalapravritta) · Brought about by changes in the nuances of seasonality. · Sometimes the body fails to adjust itself to the sudden and abnormal climatic changes – extreme cold might lead to frostbite and rheumatic disease. While extreme heat may cause sunstroke or fever. 6. Infectious and Spiritual (Daivabalapravritta) · Either born out of natural calamities as lightning, earthquakes, floods and the invisible, malignant forces of nature. · Or contacted through sexual & physical intimacy and sharing of food, plates, bed, clothes, towels and cosmetics with effected friends & relatives. · Or as a result of sheer jealousy. 7. Natural (Swabhavbalapravritta) · Even the healthiest of people are struck by hunger, thirst, sleep, death or senility. · Brought about by functional, organic and natural changes in the body. In Ayurveda, physicians try to assess the symptoms of these diseases as much as the nature of ailment and its root causes (nidana). This is of utmost importance in ensuring correct choice of remedial & preventive measures for treatment of the disease. For otherwise, even after therapy, one might not get the desired response and there would remain a chance of recurrence. The early signs and symptoms (purvaroopa) provide useful warnings and the opportunity for taking necessary action before a disease can assume dangerous magnitudes. The main signs and symptoms (roopa) reflect the true nature and intensity of the disease. Another oft used method of diagnosis is exploratory therapy (upasaya) which uses diet, medicines and routines to detect diseases otherwise difficult to diagnose. Acting either against the cause of disease or the disease itself or producing relief. For example a swelling that is alleviated by an oily & hot massage, is obviously caused by an imbalance of vata.
