My thoughts on financial markets as of 31 May 2025, Saturday: 

President Trump's appeal is pending in US Supreme Court to go back full swing in his Liberation day Traffics. He may be required to adjust the terms of the traffic's for individual countries. Question is that he may be required to slow down in implementations. Once the lower trade court blockage was known other countries some like India  had started demanding zero terrific. China complained in a different way to mean the same thing. Chinese US trade deal done two weekends ago is questionable, as both sides are complaining on different issues, the US Treasury Secretary saying the problem needs resolution at both presidents level. Will China give in to Trump? Yet to be seen. US inflation last data is close to Federal Reserve target 2 percent. If next Friday US non farm payroll data is in favour, federal reserve may be forced cut interest rate at least 50 bps in their June 2025 meeting some time third week, June 2025. Federal Reserve Chair Powell had told President Trump during last week white house meeting, that interest rate decisions will be non- political. How true will be that stand going forward?. US Dollar  eventually is expected to depreciate 15 to 20 percent in medium term through market forces, if US Treasury does not do it officially. Metals like copper, silver and gold to some extend are bottoming out and expected to move up. Silver at 40 and gold at 4000 levels in near future. Florida and some other US state governments had made gold and silver as a the legal tender. Gold and silver bar physical deliveries at Comex contract settling time is increasing, creating an artificial shortage of physical gold and silver bars. Many wealth people are moving their physical gold holdings to Singapore lockers, after seeing the physical metals movements in London metal exchange and Comex warehouses. One word of caution as shared by a good friend is that " beaten up leaders will sometimes turn very violent going forward to achieve their targets." 

Good luck in your next week trading.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 775: Shri Meru nilaya (ōṃ Mērunilayāyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother resides in Meru Mountain.

Meru has three different meanings, as mentioned in Tantra sastra. The backbone (more properly, is called spinal cord) is called ‘Meru Danda’. Meruprastara is one of the three modes of Srichakra worship. The other two are Bhuprastara and Kailasaprastara (as discussed in Nama 577, Matruka Varna Rupini, with the meaning that the Divine Mother is in the form of letters or alphabets).

Meru Mountain is the Divine Mother’s abode. In the human body, there are seven key places (Chakras) starting from Mula Dhara and ending in Sahasrara, which is in the head; There Shiva and the Divine Mother stay in Meru.

Beyond Kailasha in Himalaya Mountain range, in northern direction, the Meru Mountain is there in golden shining colour. On top three peaks of Meru are located. In them Brahma, Vishnu, and Rudra are residing there. On fourth peak above these three, the Divine Mother is residing. This is the ideology in Sri Chakram.

Sri Nagaram is in Meru Mountain. In Meru form, there are triangle structures with square yantra. Meru Danda is a human spinal cord backbone, through which the Kundalini goes through the chakras in the human body.

Rudra-Akshamala is used for Japa. The central bead of the akshamala Is called Meru. Between A to ksha there are fifty-one syllables. Akshamala is used to count these fifty-one syllables during any reciting.

Meru is also the name of nine syllabled mantra. The Divine Mother is the deity of the said mantra. So, She is called Meru nilaya. There are many possible interpretations of the nine syllabled mantra one of them is given below.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

ऐं (Aim): Represents Shailaputri, associated with the Sun and Muladhara chakra.

ह्रीं (Hreem): Represents Brahmacharini, associated with the Moon and Swadhishthan chakra.

क्लीं (Kleem): Represents Chandraghanta, associated with Mars and Manipura chakra.

चा (Cha): Represents Kushmanda, associated with Mercury and Anahata chakra.

मुं (Mum): Represents Skandamata, associated with Jupiter and Vishuddha chakra.

डा (Da): Represents Katyayani, associated with Venus and Ajna chakra.

यै (Yei): Represents Kalaratri, associated with Saturn and Sahasrara chakra.

वि (Vi): Represents Mahagauri, associated with Rahu and Sahasrara chakra.

च्चै (Chhai): Represents Siddhidatri, associated with Ketu and Ashta Siddhi.

We can find the third explanation in Tantra rajya, Chapter 18. It is said that there are sixteen daily deities and oceans surrounding them, with Meru at the centre; the Divine Mother is residing in it. Surrounding the Meru are fourteen worlds, their presiding devatas and above all these, Brahman as akasha. This is part of a description of the Srichakra and the human body.

The Bhuprastara has Vishnu and eight other yogins, Kailasprastara with the daily (nitya) deities are all modes of the Srichakra worship. As the Divine Mother has made the Meruprastara Her abode, She is called ‘Meru nilaya’.

The Divine Mother resides in Meru Mountain

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 774: Shri Mahati (ōṃ pāṭalīkusumapriyāyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is the greatest.

She is big or huge in any measure. All universal beings had come from the Brahman, (the Divine Mother), as such, She is much bigger to accommodate all of them. Acceptable flowers come from different sources. The basis for such flowers is the trees where they come from. The basis for all invaluable universal beings and things is the Divine Mother.

Naradara’s vina is called Mahati. The sage uses his vina while he is constantly chanting Narayana’s name. The Divine Mother is in the form of Naradara’s vina.

The Divine Mother excels in everything else in size, value, greatness, in possessing wealth, multifaceted prowess and occupying the highest position in the universe.

Mahati is the one who can measure everything in this universe. “The standard to measure anything by,” says Saukamuni.

Also, the Divine Mother is fond of playing the vina, like Saravati Devi.

The Divine Mother is very big or huge in any measure.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 773: Shri Patali Kusuma priya (ōṃ pāṭalīkusumapriyāyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is fond of Patali (pale red/rose Angel’s Trumpet flower).

She is fond of Patail flowers, which are pale red in colour. There is a saying that Shiva likes this Patali flower. This goes without saying that Patali is liked by Her spouse and by Her.

What cannot be got by others is easily obtained by the Divine Mother with Her capability and strength. She is fond of Patali. When this flower is offered, with real love, She is satisfied very much. People cannot reach Krishna in simpler terms. Yet his younger friend Kuchela gave Him with love a handful of oats. Lord Krishna took those oats. What is achieved with love is closeness to divinity.

The Padma Purana says,” Sankara (Shiva) is fond of Bilva leaves; His spouse Goddess Parvati is fond of Patali flowers.”

 The Divine Mother is fond of Patali flowers.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 772: Shri Duradharsa (ōṃ durādharṣāyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is difficult to control.

Nobody can win over the Divine Mother. She is eternally the Maha Shakti, the Divine Mother. There are no asuras who can win over Her. Aggressive and cruel asuras think that there is no one to win them over. They got their strength from the Divine Mother; they assume arrogantly that they can win over even the Divine Mother. At appropriate times, She will win them and rule over them. This power of the Divine Mother is fully described in the Devi Mahatmyam, in the destruction of Madhu and Kaitapa, Chand and Munda, and Shumbha and Nishumba.

No one can go against Her. Those who have Her blessings are fortunate people. Those who try to go against and discord Her rules will fail.

The Sruthi says, “The Self is not attained by the feeble.” Only an upasaka with extraordinary mental strength can win the Divine Mother over. This takes constant worshipping over a very long period.

The Divine Mother is difficult to control.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 771: Shri Duraradhya (ōṃ durārādhyāyai namaḥ)

Worship of the Divine Mother is extremely difficult, in fact, next to impossible. This is particularly true for those with bad or poor devotional attitudes.

The Divine Mother’s worship requires unity and purity in thought, words and action. The body, mind and intellect need to be pure and unison (Tri-krama Shruthi). Our five senses will drift as well as our mind. Those who cannot control their mind and their five senses become slave to their own five senses. They may not use their life purposefully. Although physically they are human, they do not live as real humans. Such people will not worship the Divine Mother properly. Even if they try to worship due to some temptations, they will have difficulties. Such people need to learn humility to move to a higher level. Then only they can have easier worshipping of the Divine Mother.

Those who cannot control their mind and five senses are not eligible to reach the Divine Mother easily. Those with wavering minds cannot satisfy the Divine Mother. She is full of everything within Herself. She does not have any desire to have anything more. So, She is not easily satisfied with the things offered to Her. When devotees offer to Divine Mother their purity of mind, love and affection and kindness, She gladly accepts them.

Devotion should be constant and solid. It is such worship that bears fruit of maturing towards Brahman. Only unconditional and sincere devotion will become steadfast. The Divine Mother is hard to be worshipped by those who are fickle minded. Devotion arising from temptations will be wavering and fruitless.

In Soundariya Lahari (slogam 1) Adi Sharara says that the Divine Mother is worshipped by Brahma, Vishnu Shiva and all other devatas. Only those who have some punya will even be able to worship Her.

The Divine Mother is difficult to worship for some lower-level people .

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 770: Shri Priya vrata (ōṃ priyavratāyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is fond of vrata (austerity practices.)

She is pleased with Her devotees’ austerities. The body-based soul attached to worldly things should leave away its attachments. Only then, is the soul said to use its current birth purposefully. One should undertake austerities according to his conditions. When humans discard the things which they like best, this discarding will be the key to such austerity. They need not discard such things which they do not like, because they will be cheating themselves.

Shri Rama was pleased with Sathya vrata. The Divine Mother is pleased and fond of correct vrata from Her sincere devotees. They are the ones suitable for Her kindness.

The body, five senses and mind are to be controlled and surrendered to the Divine Mother or other Divinities by controlling the food and processes followed by humans. The Divine Mother likes such vows to control the mind of Her devotees.

Bhaskaracarya quotes Bhavishyottara Purana as authority here. All vrata made to any God or Goddess please Shiva and Sakthi, the creators of the world. There should be no distinction here, because the whole world is made up of Shiva and Sakthi.

The Divine Mother is fond of vrata taken by Her devotees.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 769: Shri Yajma rupa (ōṃ yajJṇarūpāyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is in the form of sacrifice.  yajma is sacrifice; also, it denotes Vishnu; the Divine Mother is in the form of Vishnu also.

She is in the form of sacrifice and rites. The Divine Mother, Shiva and Vishnu are in Yajma rupa. Shiva created the sacrifice through rites for the souls when they separated from Brahman. Rites and sacrifices are ideal means for maturing souls to reach Brahman. When the fire is lit in the Yanja Kundams and rites performed in it, is the sacrifice. Those burnt in the fire are not destroyed but they reach the subtle level; they mix with the air to be the food for the plants nearby. Fire can bring the lower-level soul to high maturity.

Souls in human bodies, having been through several births, use their five senses to seek happiness in this world. Such happiness turns into sorrow soon. So, such soul is caught in samsara sagara or the birth and death life cycle. Souls can use the human body’s five senses for prayers to divinity. The bodily heat, when considered as jnana Agni and fed with sacrifice, soul becomes a good Yoga Murthi.

Souls realize and see part of the Lord due to the divine scheme. Souls mature and improve. Whatever is heard, felt and smelt can be helpful for the soul’s maturing process. The worldly system of rites is aimed towards souls achieving divinity. If somebody plucks the flower for prayer purposes, it becomes yajna. The Divine Mother, being yajna Herself; She converts the devotee’s prayers to yajna.

There are five types of sacrifices: 1) Deva sacrifice is to offer to divinity 2) Petru’s sacrifice is to offer to forefathers. 3) Brahma sacrifice to offer to Guru and teachers 4) Manusha Sacrifice is offered to other humans 5) Bootha sacrifice is offered to animals, trees etc. Through these sacrifices, we worship Devas, forefathers, gurus, humans, and animals. Those who get our offers or sacrifices are higher than us. Offering to crow and water the plant are Bootha sacrifices, which must be offered with sincerity. We should not think that we are just helping to quench their hunger but must consider that divinity has come in those forms to accept our sacrifices. Then it becomes yajna, which helps to eliminate ahankara within us. The Divine Mmother is involved in this whole yajna process.

In Harivamsa and Padma Purana, Vishnu’s sacrificial form is described. His feet are the Vedas; His hands, the materials of oblation; His face, the sacrificial firewood; His teeth, the posts to the sacrificial animals; His eyes are day and night; His ear ornaments are Vedanta and His mouth, the ladle for offering the oblations to the fire. His nose is the ghee, the melted butter; His voice, the sound of Samaveda; His head, the Brahmana conducting the sacrifice and His hair is the rules of sacrifices, which are countless. His nails are the austerities; His motions are countless; His knees the sacrificial animals. His organ of generation, the homa and dhatus; the elements of His body are fruits. His heart is gift and His blood, the soma, the ambrosial drink. His mental speed is the oblation to the gods and to ancestors, the mantras the rites. His gait, the different poetical meters. His seat, the Guhyopanisad and His shadow, the wife (to participate in the sacrificial ceremony). This is the form of Vishnu Sacrifice. This is truly the Divine Mother’s form.

The Purusha Skuta has a similar description of divine sacrifice.

The Divine Mother is in the form of sacrifice.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 768: Shri Dyuti dhara (ōṃ dyutidharayai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is full of light and splendor. Her aura of light is shining with various colours.

The Divine Mother has all the brightness within Her. She is living in every universal being, Her brightness shines in every being. If earthly stones are well polished, Sun’s rays falling on the polished surface will give out basic red, green, yellow and blue colours. We can also see these four colours reflected from well grown wooden plates, gold, silver, tin and other metal surfaces. Early morning dew on grass reflects Sun’s rays into various colours. These are all the Divine Mother’s brightness reflected as colours.

The Divine Mother has Kanti, which is bright light. When humans have satisfaction, their bodies and mind reflect the brightness to attract others, like to the Divine Mother’s Kanti or bright light.

The Divine Mother is full of bright light and splendor.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 767: Shri Ojovati (ōṃ ōjōvatyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is full of vitality and shines like Ojas.

Ojas means powerful light, vitality of life, strength, greatness, and radiance. All these are the great aspects of the Divine Mother.

For those having an honest life, grace comes automatically. If such grace is shining in their eyes, that can be called Ojas. In such people, good body structure and grace can be seen. This mental clarity and blessed Jothi or light within themselves come only to those having an honest life. With Ojas, the person gets the Divine Mother’s blessings. The things which they desire come freely to them. The Divine Mother is in Ojas (vitality state), Herself eternally.

In the human body, the seven Dhatus (Spata Dhtus). These are called Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Asthi, Majja, and Shukra/Skula. These are Plasma, Blood, Muscle/flesh, Fat, Bone, Bone Marrow, and Reproductive fluid or Seman. In a healthy body the Sapta dhatu are present in right measures to create Ojas.

The Divine Mother is full of vitality (Ojas).

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 766: Shri Japaa puspha nibhakritih (ōṃ japāpuṣpanibhākṛtayē namaḥ)

The Divine Mother has a form like a red hibiscus flower.

The Divine Mother has a deep reddish complexion like a hibiscus flower. She functions as the universe. She is in all universal beings.

There is greatness in flowers being used for the Divine Mother. The flowers blossom one day and will wilt the next day. We worship the Divine Mother with such flowers. The poets and great sages enjoyed the divine nature of the flowers. When a devotee sees a reddish hibiscus flower, he is reminded of the Divine Mother and is happy. Showers of the flowers are used for praying to the Divine Mother.

She has the hibiscus flower redness in Her body structure. Red has many grades or varieties; the Divine Mother’s colour is seen in all such red varieties.

The hibiscus flower or China rose is used for Japa. In meditation verse for Shri Lalitha Sahasranam recitation, the Divine Mother is described as “Sinduraruna Vigraha”, with the meaning that Her body is red like saffron.

According to Baskaracharaya, the name may be taken as Ajapapuspanibhakrtih and then split into two names, ajapa and puspanibhakrtih. Any mantra or portion of the mantra that is not  voiced is called ajapa. The name means the Divine Mother is in the form of that mantra.  Puspanibhakritih indicates that the Divine Mother is the one whose body is as soft as a flower.

Puspa may also be interpreted as Puspaka, the vehicle of Kubera, which can go anywhere at will. It has no barriers whatsoever. The Divine Mother has a form that can go anywhere like Puspaka. Her form is indeed one that is subtler than the subtlest and grosser than the grossest.

The Divine Mother has a body like a red hibiscus flower.

My thoughts on Silver price movements...23 May 2025

• Next to gold, silver is a precious metal. In addition to jewelers, it has many industrial application also. 
• Some used silver, less than ten percent, is recovered from discorded equipment. Current annual mining of silver lacks behind the demand by about 200 million Troy ounce per year, (one Troy oz is equal to 31.101 grams). 
• In pricing terms, traditionally one oz of gold bought about 70 oz of silver. Now that ratio is 100 to one, which will have to correct back to 70 to one range, meaning silver price has to move up by  at least 30 percent. Gold currently is trading about 3300 USD per troy oz and silver about 33 USD per troy oz. 
• some analyst compare the silver supply short fall to recent years short falls of Iridium industrial material, which had more than tripled in price in very short time. But this silver price multiplying can happen only after uncertainties due to erratic US traffic calls are done with, global war efforts cool down and global economies start moving up without other head aches like inflation, stagflation. 
• Chinese industrial demand will play a major role in determining the silver price movement. Many investment gurus like Jim Rogers had been calling to accumulate silver for medium to long term price gains. Patience like in any other asset holding is  needed to capture the silver price multiplying gains. 
• One problem is the storage costs due to physics size of silver compared to gold. Some financial institutions like UOB bank in Singapore charge around 0.64 percent in troy oz terms per year for silver stored with them. 
• If you have deep pockets, then consider silver investments for medium to long term. On commercial astrological basis, there is an identified correlation to Planet  Venus movement to silver price movement. If are able to identify correctly the effects of planet Venus movements and it's cross effects with other planets, there can be easier wins with silver buying. 
• I personally had experienced silver price jumping from 5 USD per troy oz to 50 USD per troy oz due to US Hunt brothers cornering global silver inventory. Back in late 1970s while my product line in my GE job in Singapore was using large quantities of silver, I had been tasked to reduce silver usage in my product lines, especially in electrical switch applications.
•  Another reason for silver price increase is silver mining costs are increasing in recent years. Silver mining like any other metal mining,  needs long term heavy investments. 
• Good luck investing in silver.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 739: Shri Laya kari (ōṃ layakaryai namaḥ)

From Nama 684 to 741 the glories of the Divine Mother are discussed.

The Divine Mother creates and maintains the rhythms of the cosmic dance of the entire universe. She causes absorption and the dissolution of the mind to eliminate duality.

The Divine Mother creates the dissolution of the mind. Widely spread universe is called ‘Andam’ and the human structure is called ‘Pindam’. Both have matching linkages. To the level, humans can control their minds, maturity comes in. In true understanding of Para-Brahman, one’s mind getting absorbed is called Layam. Those who wish to reach Para-Brahman, must dissolve their minds through meditation.

When there is a proper linkage between Ragam, Talam, Bhavam and Niruttam, it becomes Lalita Kala. This Layam can take the soul to ultimate Para-Brahman. We see the universal movements and the sounds created by them are perfectly matched. If a human is good at understanding this perfect match in the universal movement and created sound, it is the Divine Mother’s grace to him. He enjoys the Divine Mother’s Lasya and Shiva’s Tandava dances. The universal movements as understood by matured souls is called the Divine Mother’s Lasya dance. All the universal souls’ knowledge and joyful movements are forms of Shiva’s Tandava. The Divine Mother’s and Shiva’s dances are interlinked. Yogis and devotees enjoy such effects within and outside. When there is discipline, we see that there is bliss or ultimate joy for the souls. The Divine Mother as ‘Layakari’ creates such discipline within and outside for Her devotees. Such happy action is happening always for Her devotees, with Her grace.

Layam can be described in many ways:

1.   Attracting someone with different views and feelings and to make him accept our mindset approach

2.   Making Tala (beat) for the dance and music

3.   One form disappearing in another form

4.   Someone in Mukti or Liberation stage merging with Para-Brahman.

The Divine Mother creates all such Layams for Her devotees. It is said that an ancient sage Bharthar through the Divine Mother’s grace, saw singing and dancing as separate forms of art or kala. He used these to reach the Para-Brahman or get Liberation. The Divine Mother is celebrated as Lasya Priya and Layakari.

Laya is a special state of the mind. It is the absorption or dissolution of the mind in the object of meditation, forgetting all surrounding objects.

The melting of the mind experienced with the mutual dissolution of pitch and rhythm in music is known as Laya. ‘Sruti (pitch) is the mother and Laya (rhythm) is the father’s is a well-known saying in musical parlance. It is believed that Laya state in music arises from the Divine Mother grace. It is noteworthy that many of the celebrated musicians are the Divine Mother’s devotees. Worship of Brahman-as-sound is an important form of worship/Upasana, which is still practiced in India.

The Divine Mother causes the absorption of the mind.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 765: Shri Shuddha (ōṃ śuddhāyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is the purest. Her purity does not have even a trace of avidya (ignorance).

She is eternally pure. Universal beings either have pure or non-pure state; they even have changing forms being pure or non-pure. The soul loses its purity with its attachments in universal life. For a living being to lose its purity it must be in an environment and be agreeable to non-pure conditions. Cow’s milk is considered pure; ganga water is considered pure, but when both are mixed, they lose their purity. The body-based soul, due to its ignorance loses its purity. Due to ignorance, instead of focusing on Brahman, the soul joins with often ignorant beings to lose its purity even more. The Divine Mother Herself is there forever and there is no second nature in Her. She is ever pure, always gracefully blessing others without any mistake and trace of error.

As a result, there is no ignorance (mala) and worries due to confusion.

The Divine Mother is the purest.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 764: Shri Svargapavargada (ōṃ svargāpavargadāyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother bestows time-bound heavenly Bliss (Swarga) and eternal Blissa (Apa Varga).

All worldly pleasures are inevitably associated with fear and sorrow. Happiness without any such attachments is termed as heavenly bliss. These two types of happiness accumulate punya and papa (merits and demerits).

Even the ones in heaven must revert to universal life when their punya or credit balance is depleted. So, for those souls, happiness in this world and in heaven have an ending. However, Divine Mother can bestow ultimate happiness to souls (internal bliss). The matured soul or sage on reaching Brahman enjoys eternal happiness. He is not caught in samsara, the birth and death cycle again.

Depending upon one’s Punya level, heaven grants happiness with variations. There is no sorrow mixed with this happiness. Whatever deserved is got. When Punya balance is depleted, the soul cannot stay in heaven. That represents happiness with an ending.

Apavargam is an endless happiness in Brahman. Due to Punya and Jnanam, the soul leaves the body and reaches heaven. Due to its accumulated papa the soul returns to earth after consuming the merits of punya. Over many cycles of birth and death, the soul attains eternal salvation (Brahman). The Divine Mother grants both these types of happiness to devotees based on their maturity.

Swarga is heaven, the place of happiness, a pleasant resort, gained through merit. Apavarga is Liberation which is eternal. The Divine Mother gives both the temporary heaven and eternal Liberation.

The highest state that can be reached by sacrifice (yoga) and other rites is the transitory heaven. Some religions consider heaven as the ultimate state to be reached. The Sanatana Dharma, the system of eternal tenets that is Hinduism, treats heaven only as pleasant interlude. Heaven can be attained only through the accumulation of much merit.

However, the mind will not be satisfied even after reaching heaven. That mind itself must be dissolved. That is called a-mani bhava, the absence of mind, that is Liberation. The Gita (IX.21) says, “Having enjoyed spacious world of heaven, they return to the world of mortals when their merit is exhausted; thus, following three Vedas, desiring objects of enjoyment, they attain the state of samsara, the cycle of birth and death”. For them, the cycle of birth and death does not end. The aim of Jiva is Liberation, and the Divine Mother is the one who confirms that.

The Divine Mother grants moksha and Liberation.
