Diśi – direction 

«O enemy of Kaṃsa! All the Brahmās, accepting Your order to create, create all the new universes. All the Śivas destroy all the old universes on Your order to destroy. All Your expansions in the form of Viṣṇus, protectors of the universe, carry out Your order to protect the newly created universes. All the masters of the universes in all directions are awaiting Your order» (Sri Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu,2.1.108).

Brahman, Prajapati or whoever primordial Being ,superior to the whole of creation, gods included, gives the commands to operate this wheel of existence. The direction is established by Him. In Him is the source and secret of life.

You start the month with the idea of ​​resting some more perhaps because you had to work and have not yet been able to enjoy holidays. Or maybe because you are tired of fighting against the unexpected, the inconveniences of life that hold you back in your projects. You can learn something from every experience and perhaps you can learn to flow with life, adapt to circumstances without stressing yourself too much and understand that it is not you who is being questioned, but only your idea that life should go just in one direction.

IN PRACTICE

Pashcimottana-āsana, western pose

It is not so much for the direction that I propose this āsana, as for its sense of abandonment.

Awareness exercise

Every night, remember an obstacle, even the slightest one, that you had during the day. How did you deal with it? Did you get nervous, did you struggle with it? Or have you taken note and 

objectively evaluated if you can or cannot do something to solve it?

Mantra of the month

«Ashta dikpalaka»

(the mantras for the directions, difficult to repeat, but listened to every now and then and watch the video to see the various directions and deities that preside over them).
