Understanding Sama

Sama is a form of mysticism which burst out when the mystic has completed the stage of ascetism piety and detachment from the material world in the spiritual path and originally it was composed by the mystic in a state of haal in the truly irfani way that is gnostic stage. They arrived to this stage after subjugation of their animal passion so you may add a good 7 years or 10 years to reach to this level. Please know there is a deep secret hidden in the man's heart. When the mystic comes to a higher level he expresses himself thru his inner creativity without his knowledge. Some begin to sing on their own in a state of trance, some create art in a state of trance , in some case the body takes to automatically doing strange yoga poses etc.

Over time this sama in the form of qawwali, whirling, art, yoga became a form of art . Most are aware of this as Sufi music or Sufi art or Yoga or Geometric patterns. Most don't know the origin of how these form of sama came into existence. People assume by just listening to qawwali or by whirling or doing yoga which one learns thru their teacher is highly spiritual and you get connected to the Divine when the sama reaches the highest level. All this is false. The true essence of sama is when you have walked the path. You will your self perform these sama be it music art or yoga on your own without a teacher or a guide or any basic knowledge of it. You will be surprised at your own creativity.

Today every one is singing qawwali or whirling as a form of music and dance. Of course it's nothing more than music and dance. Origin of the sama is not what we see today. If some one else is singing or whirling or creating art work or doing yoga on his own I cannot become one with the Divine as its his creativity bursting out from within. It's his hidden wisdom busting as his mystical secret knowledge, which is theoretically known as sama.

Any form of music or creativity or Sama comes out of a mystic after the second stage. It begins in the third stage onwards and remains with him until he reaches a state of haal. Listening to others singing qawwali is nothing more than practiced music by the performer. If you sing or dance or do strange activities which is highly creative than you have reached the stage of self development and closer to the secrets of the universe

President Global Peace Mission Gulsha Begum said that there is more to it than what meets the eye. Nobody wants to solve the terrorism problem. There is a vested interest in this for political parties. The conference was organized by Divine Abode Foundation and National Human rights council for women Rajasthan.

 Gulsha Begum said that the people - have a collective responsibility in the society we are living in. This responsibility is our DHARMA. however, we must make an effort to properly understand the many factors that drive terrorism and extremism of all kinds in the modern world. Otherwise, we run the risk of never being able to properly address and eradicate this plague. There is no option but to understand this if we are serious about building a better future, one which confronts and ends this serious situation that threatens people in all parts of the globe. Ragini Chaturvedi President National Human Rights Council of India for Women ( Raj ) said Terrorist groups use religion as a cloak to cover up for their cowardly acts of violence. Their ideological fallacy reveal their hidden logic and ill-informed and unauthentic sources, which they turn to in order to justify their insatiable desire for power, control and bloodshed. These ideologies of hate and terror must be challenged and expunged. Komal Singh Journalist and Media Person at Zee Media & Zee Salam, Jammu & Kashmir said peace is most needed in Kashmir and it is important for us at this time of great sadness to stand together and process this horrific incident hovering on the people of Kashmir in a way that is fair and just.

Today values are eroding fast. There is a total decadence in social and moral value. In today's cut throat competition even the parents instruct their children that they should top in the class. The criteria for promotion in schools are marks in sciences and social sciences, but not moral science. But childhood is a very impressionable age. The mind is like soft wax, so whatever one is taught at a tender age it leaves a deep impression. Therefore Moral science must be made a compulsory in school curriculum said Nisha Shekawat Vice President Rotary Club. Dr Ananth Bhatnagar Principal of VSPS College spoke of all evil in society which is the root of all problem in the world since the religion is been distorted to suit each ones ideology. Dr Ravi Bhatnagar emphasized that most extremist are products of troubled environments and have distorted and misguided interpretations of Religion that have no basis in traditional doctrine. Their aim is to create havoc and chaos in the world. Dr Rakesh Sharma Editor Chief Indoria Samachar said so called violence in other scriptures have a suitable interpretation, though the meanings may have been distorted over time. The scriptures in their true form were revealed to humanity for spiritual elevation of mankind. Col Dr Rakesh Sharma Director Shivalik Group of Institutes said we are witnessing a phenomenon in religions where people without a sound foundation in religious learning attempt to represent themselves as religious authorities, even though they are lacking scholarly qualifications for making valid interpretations of religious law and ethics. It is this unruly attitude that paves the way for extremist interpretations of Religion that are not based in reality.Bakshish Singh Sufi Author & Researcher Vikram Singh participated. The speakers were honored with momentos and certificates after the lighting of the lamp.Shailesh Garg Atul Agarwal and Anil Khandelwal were felicitated for their initiatives as team members for Global Peace Mission.

Call to action against terrorism and extremism in Ajmer Peace conference

Ajmer Peace conference concluded with volatile discussion in a packed ground  on peace interfaith dialogue, Religion, Spiritual and call to action against terrorism and extremism in the world. 

President Global Peace Mission Gulsha Begum said that there is more to it than what meets the eye. Nobody wants to solve the terrorism problem. There is a vested interest in this for political parties. It  is very true that some people and organizations to satisfy their political gains and with vested motive interpret and support violence in their own way, thereby causing chaos in the world, eg. ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Kashmir issue , Naxalites etc . This is our country and these issues have to resolved by the people. awareness among the people is necessary to come out of fear and participate in such events.  Apart from individual duties, we - the people - have a collective responsibility in the society we are living in. This responsibility is our  DHARMA. Army is authorized to protect us at any cost, even if it means killing our enemies and foiling their vicious plots. Similarly, Lord Krishna told Arjuna to fight the Kauravas, since they were the aggressors, and according to Vedic injunctions, murderers and aggressors should be punished. So why is the government hanging on to some old outdated constitution rather than moving along with the present scenario where terrorism will be eradicated from the face of the earth. If we wish to tackle this problem, however, we must make an effort to properly understand the many factors that drive terrorism and extremism of all kinds in the modern world. Otherwise, we run the risk of never being able to properly address and eradicate this plague. There is no option but to understand this if we are serious about building a better future, one which confronts and ends this serious situation that threatens people in all parts of the globe.

The audience joined the open discussion by stating that the present Lord Krishna was the government and there is no such efforts to eradicate terrorism which is decline in dharma on earth and establishing virtue.

Worshops

When we truly embark on the mystic path we come to understand that Religion is just the basic level and the second level teaches us the diverse religions of the world and at  the third level all Religions fail and  all the Religions, practices and it's beliefs is discarded . In the fourth level a seeker is disarmed of all his Religious beliefs and it's manifestations. The fifth level onwards one begins to start stepping towards reality of all Science, History, Philosophy and Mathematics. The Sixth level teaches us to discard Science, History, Philosophy and Mathematics since this is again distorted and a illusion. The seventh level you see the truth behind the veil. This level is the true test of every being. If you pass this test you have escaped the matrix of Illusion and if you fail you end up empty handed and back to earth to be preaching on God, Religion or become a saint or prophet or to be Worshipped on earth as GOD himself….

Summary of Global Peace Conference held on 16-01-2016 at Hotel Merwara Palace, Ajmer Rajasthan

Distinguished Delegates, Guest. Ladies and gentlemen. The final conclusion extracted from all the renowned scholars and spiritual leader in the discussion is as follows.

We Must go through Spiritual way and bring peace without conflict and confrontation through the mystical way. There is no need to discuss political issues at all we must talk through spirituality and address humanity.

The clear message of its solution lies in love not in hate. We must be polite and go positive through the sufi  way to counter hate and intolerant elements rather than being possessive and aggressive.

It is through self-knowledge that human consciousness reaches its highest form and establishes complete harmony with the transcendental order.

We need to be fearless when we counter the growing trend of the conflict and invite secular personalities to work towards the mission of Global community.

We need to identify the people who work for the people and not those who work for their own purposes.

There are two kinds of people who work for Peace. One who works for his personal development and the other who work for the development of Society through Spiritual , moral values and ethical standards.

Fear is the one key element to give us the sufferings and the vision of all forms to fill the gaps between the worldly desire and the unknown regions of Humanity.

Follow-up conference should take stock of what the participants have done towards these conclusions is also been suggested by few members.

This was the conclusion of the conference
