A lot of right-wing Christians would be outraged if they read Sylvia Browne’s book The Mystical Life of Jesus because it portrays him as a prophet rather than a savior.

Browne offers her perspective, which she has acquired through not only extensive reading, but also information she says came through her spirit guide, Francine. She credits the established church for having revised, edited and more or less messed up the Bible for the massive misunderstandings about Jesus and His purpose here on earth.

Firstly, she says there was no virgin birth. However, Jesus was indeed the Son of God, but she adds that we are all sons and daughters of God. The difference is that Jesus came with a purpose, which was to pass on the message that God is not the angry, vengeful God as most believed. Rather that He is a loving and forgiving God who cares about His creations.

In this book, Browne also offers explanations for the many missing years of Jesus’ life, years that are not mentioned at all in the Bible. She claims he traveled to various places including Byzantine (now Istanbul), Turkey where he studied with the Essenes and learned Gnosticism. He also traveled to India where he learned eastern philosophies including healing and meditation.

It was after several years of travel and learning that he returned with great fanfare to Nazareth where Browne says he married Mary Magdalene during the wedding feast at Cana where He turned water into wine. Browne also gives her reasons for believing this is so, but it is ultimately up to the reader to decide what resonates as truth and what does not. In fact, she encourages her readers to discern the difference.

Whether Browne is on the right track with her beliefs is difficult to determine. She does believe Jesus is still “divine” in that He was sent here with a specific message for the people of His time. He truly was on a “mission from God” and He knew it, she says.

There is much more about the life of Jesus that Browne reveals, but I don’t want to give away everything here. You will have to read the book for yourself to learn more and to make up your own mind.

SRI ASHUTOSH MAHARAJ –“Rasleela was in reality bhavleela, completely devoid of corporeal sensations. It was the celestial, atmik form of a gopi that used to participate in ras. Far above the carnal plane, it was a divine communion between souls (gopis) and the Supreme Soul (Krishna). Krishna Leela is one manifested as many.”

SRI AUROBINDO – “The aim of education is to help the child to develop his intellectual, aesthetic, emotional, moral and spiritual being.”

SRI AUROBINDO – “The aim of education is to help the child to develop his intellectual, aesthetic, emotional, moral and spiritual being.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“…and his divine power works in us, not by our artificial processes, but by a working of Nature which is perfectly informed, all-searching and infallibly efficient.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“…and the entire being given up, as an engine is passive in the hands of the driver, for the divine Love, Might and perfect Intelligence to do its work and fulfill its divine Lila.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“…this is illimitable in potency because it is God’s capacity.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“0 Mother Durga! When we possess thee, we shall no longer cast thee away; we shall bind thee to us with the tie of love and devotion. Come, 0 Mother, Manifest in our mind and life and body Come, 0 Revealer of the hero-path! We shall no longer cast Thee away May our entire life become a ceaseless worship of the Mother, All our acts a continuous service to the Mother, Full of love, full of energy.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“A God who could not smile could not have created this humorous universe.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“All theories, all teachings are, in the last analysis, nothing but ways of seeing and speaking. Even the highest revelations are worth no more than the power of realisation that comes with them. To live the Supreme Truth, if only for a minute, is worth more than writing or reading hundreds of books on the methods or processes by which to find it.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“If this attitude of perfect self-surrender can be even imperfectly established, all necessity of yogickriya inevitably ceases. For then, God himself in us becomes the sadhaka and the siddha…”

SRI AUROBINDO –“It is only limited by his will which knows what is best for the world and for each one of us in the world and apart from it.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“Life is one and immortal. Only the forms are countless, fleeting and brittle… the form is constantly changing and in essence there is nothing to prevent this change from being progressive.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“Lore on my sumnyts of calm I have brooded With voices around me.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“Nothing must be reserved, no desire, no demand, no opinion, no idea that this must be, that cannot be, that this should be and that should not be — all must be given.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“On my summits of calm I have brooded With voices around me.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“Put yourself with all your heart and all your strength into God’s hands.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“Some give their soul to the divine, some their life, some offer their work, some their money. A few consecrate all of themselves and all they have … these are the true children of god.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“Some give their soul to the divine, some their life, some offer their work, some their money. A few consecrate all of themselves and all they have … these are the true children of god.”

SRI AUROBINDO –“The heart must be purified of all desire, the intellect of all self-will….every duality must be renounced, the whole world seen and unseen must be recognised as one supreme expression of concealed Wisdom, Power and Bliss…”

SRI AUROBINDO –“The surrender must be complete.”

www.RajKaregaKhalsa.Net Aarti of an idol is criticised in Gurbani. When Baba Ravidas Ji was asked to perform Aarti, he refused to do. He replied: Naam Tero Aarti Mujan Murare | Har Ke Naam Ke Naam Bin Jhoote Sagal Paasare | Rahaao | O Lord! (Ignorant people do Aarti (worship through waving lights, but for me) Your Name, Lord, is Your Aarti, adoration, and cleansing bath (of pilgrimages). Without the Name of the Lord, all ostentatious displays are false and useless. ||1||Pause|| (Ang 694, SGGS) When Guru Nanak Sahib Ji travelled to Banaras, the Brahman Pandits invited Guru Ji to join them to do Aarti of God. Guru Nanak Sahib Ji agreed and went and sat inside the Mandir. The Pandits stood in front of the stone idol gods and started to wave platters with lights, incense and offering place on it. When they had finished they complained to Guru Nanak Sahib Ji. “You said you would join us to do the Aarti of God, but you remain sat on the floor with your eyes closed!” Guru Nanak Sahib Ji then replied with this Shabad: Gagan Mai Thaal Rav Chand Deepak Banay Taarikaa Mandal Janak Motee | Dhoop Mal-aanlo Pavan Chavro Karay Sagal Banraa-ay Foolant Jotee | Kaisee Aartee Ho-ay | Bhav Khandnaa Tayree Aartee | Anhataa Sabad Vaajant Bhayree | Rahaao | The whole sky is (as if) the plate.
