<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: red; font-family: "inherit" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">“Gurukripa hi kevalam” is maha-mantra of
Kriya yoga and right understanding. But very few people know how to invite
grace and what prevents grace… here are few pointers to ponder over for how to
be a good recipient of GRACE.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: inherit, serif;">(1) </span>Meditate. Stay in thoughtless zone with full awareness. This is the
way to receive GRACE directly.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">(2) Practice GRATITUDE. Gratitude invites GRACE.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">(3) While being with people, operate from heart with LOVE.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">(4) Keep your awareness high throughout the day. GRACE is a happening.
It can happen any moment! So be aware!</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">(5) Practice COMPASSION. Compassion in your heart develops gamma brain
waves which is a must to receive grace.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">(6) Be simple. Be humble. Be willing to learn in every situation through
spiritual insights. </span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">(7) Be in the company of wise ones. Wise ones continuously radiate gamma
waves! (Now proven scientifically)</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">(8) Read and contemplate on scriptural understanding to get deeper
INSIGHTS.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">(9) Continuously improve your ATTITUDES through higher AWARENESS and
UNDERSTANDING.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">(10) Continuously increase your awareness and
stay in higher awareness without any expectations. GRACE happens.</span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: inherit, serif;">(1) </span>Deviating from one’s own Swadharma. Sanyasi must follow Sanyas
Dharma. Householder must follow Grihastha Dharma. Your life philosophy and
Belief system must be in line with your Swadharma. When your attitudes and life
priorities are messed up, it hinders the grace!</span></div>

not get attached to the form.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Q / A with Guruji on Naadi Shashtra –
Part: 1<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RGBS: Guruji, would you please share
your experience and research about Naadi shashtra…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: I came to know about palm leaf
naadi reading from a great Advaita master – Ramesh Balsekar when I attended his
talks at Sindhula, Mumbai. In three talks, he fully convinced me that everybody
around is psychologically programmed biological robot! Everything is as per
destiny – and that destiny is written on a palm leaf. It is a hard copy of your
destiny, written in old Tamil language, even if you can’t read it; you have to
believe it… It was a great challenge to my scientific temperament. I found a
naadi reader in Pune at that time and gave my right thumb impression on a
paper. He told me that he will find out the right leaf for me and read out my
destiny. I was thrilled and followed up with him but he could not get my palm
leaf patti for next five years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">We happened to roam around in Himalayas
extensively in 2003 and stayed in many ashrams there. In 2004 we went for 1<sup>st</sup>
Kailash Mansarover Yatra with a small group of people from Tao. After we
returned back, I got message from him that he had found my palm leaf patti and he
gave me a date for reading it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">After few formalities of checking and cross-checking,
the first sentence he made that, “You had been to a great Yatra of a
Shiva-sthali with your family” and that’s why this yog of reading your naadi
has come to you at this time.” The opening sentence was absolutely right! We
had just completed Kailash Yatra and Kailash is the Shiva-sthali he talked
about. After that he read out many incidences, names of people, situations etc.
and many such things about future. Everything was recorded and transcribed for
future readings. Many things have come true while few things had not been as
per the reading. It is 80-20. 80% true, 20% false.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Overall, my scientific mind got
tremendously attracted to this Vidya. How did he find my palm leaf patti from
my Thumb print? How he could tell so accurately about names of my father,
mother, wife and child? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">We decided to do research on this and
found another person Mr Oak from Pune who had retired from Govt. service and
doing full fledge research on naadi. We invited him to give talks at Tao and we
also visited him at Pune. Purchased his books on such research and discussed a
lot about various Naadies. After this I visited various naadi-shashtries and
came to know about various naadies such as Bhrigu Naadi, Agastya Naadi,
Vashishta Naadi, Kashyap Naadi, Kakbhusundi Naadi, Saptarshi Naadi, Shiva Naadi
etc. I got my reading from many of these naadies and there was great variation
in all readings. The range of truthfulness was varying from 30% to 80%. During
these days, we came across a great man, Kantilal Pandya at Mumbai who was a
shadow reader (Chhaya-Shashtri). It is also a kind of Naadi reading. He was far
more accurate compared to all others and his solutions to real life issues were
very effective. While doing my post graduate learning in Counselling, I also
recognized that he was a great counsellor too! I was highly impressed by this
Vidya and wanted to learn it. (Read more details of this incidence in my blog
on Nirmal Naadi.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I took about 200 people to various Naadi
shashtries to understand this Vidya in detail and to find the science behind
it. I started asking people about the efficiency of various Poojas suggested by
various Naadi Shashtries and how it helped to improve their life. I started
noting down the effects and major changes people talked about. Over all it had
been an exciting research that has changed my understanding of life in a big
way! All this understanding and further research through direct downloading of
knowledge, we have got this new naadi … now popularly known as “Nirmal Naadi”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Part: 2<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RGBS: Guruji, is there any danger of
knowing destiny in advance? Would you like to share any precautionary measures?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: Rishis were/are highly
compassionate human beings. All the help available from Naadi is always
auspicious and for betterment of human beings. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">But human errors are unavoidable. e.g.
Misinterpretation of naadi can happen because of naadi reader not having experience
and expertize in decoding the old Tamil script or disability to connect to this
knowledge to modern situations and the person concerned. A naadi reader also
has to be a good counsellor. I have seen people taking naadi reading too
seriously and have damaged themselves because of various reasons. Let us look
into all such reasons, so that we can avoid any such danger in future…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Negative strokes: Your naadi
reading will have positive as well as negative aspects of your life, which is
unavoidable. Some people are very sensitive to negative and focus on negative
and take it so seriously that they program their mind with those negative
sentences only and actually suffer with low self-esteem and poor
self-confidence. I know a case, where a very intelligent boy got negatively
programed because of naadi reading and actually stopped working for his
betterment. To avoid such things, (A) Naadi reader should be mature enough not
to give negative strokes while naadi reading and (B) the person concerned
should not take it so seriously that one gets negatively programed by such
sentences.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;">2)<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;">
</span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Positive strokes: At times
naadi reader may make some very good predictions about your future and as you
understand that whatever has been predicted about past, has come true; so
whatever is predicted about future will also come true! <b>This understanding
can lead to complacency.</b> With all such things, belief in destiny becomes so
strong that people stop learning and using their common sense. Read this case
study: A very intelligent man went for naadi reading when he was not having any
child and wanted child desperately. As per naadi prediction he was to get four
children… and as predicted the first child arrived! Now there was a choice with
couple to go ahead with it further or stop with one or two children. The
gentleman believed too much in destiny and did not bother to listen to his wife
and went ahead with further children… this kind of stubbornness about naadi
reading can create rift in a relationship or trouble the health of lady. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Immaturity and ego: There
are many cases of damages when an immature person goes for naadi reading and
not able to handle it. Here is a case study: A serious seeker went for naadi
reading and there was a prediction that he will become a great master. He
stopped doing Sadhana and meeting his master who was guiding him and actually
went down because of his egoistic behaviour and misunderstanding of naadi
reading. Actually because of his non-learning attitude and inaction he only
stopped his progress on the path!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Diagnosis and remedy are
different: Naadi reading is a process that can tell you a lot about you, your
future, your patterns and corrections you need to do in your thinking and
behaviour. So, this is the diagnosis part. After this, comes the remedy which
can be as simple as visit to a temple or it can be an elaborate pooja. Many
people do not take these remedial measures seriously and blame naadi reading
for not improving their life. It is like you go to a doctor. He sends you for
few tests and interprets the report to tell you the disease. This is diagnosis
which in itself cannot cure your disease. You need to take medicine prescribed
by doctor to heal yourself! Similarly, you need to implement the remedial
measure for proper benefits of naadi reading. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 36.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Non learning attitude: The
last but not the least is non-learning attitude after naadi reading. Many
people I have seen are so happy after knowing their destiny that they feel
there is no need to learn anything or to do anything. They believe everything
is taken care by destiny! This attitude has troubled maximum people after naadi
reading and they are only responsible for such foolish behaviour and suffer in
their life when they see that naadi reading is no more coming true as
predicted. It cannot! You still need to put efforts to make your life and
relationships work! The interesting part is no naadi reader ever tells you “not
to learn” or “not to put efforts to make your life and relationships work”, but
even intelligent people misinterpret naadi readings and behave like a mudha
(non-learner).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

“Nirmal Naadi”?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">A: “Nirmal
Naadi” is the latest addition in Naadi Shashtra. In past, there were many
Rishis who knew this shashtra. Bhrigu, Agastya, Vashishta, Kashyap… and many
more… all of them knew this secret. Rishis who reached certain level of spiritual
evolution through meditation, such secrets were revealed to them! Once known,
they wrote it on palm leaves, and those palm leaves are available even today! Also
there are many other naadies such as Brahmarshi naadi, Jeeva naadi, Saptarshi
naadi, Kakbhusundi naadi etc. All these naadies have slightly different
concepts. Those enlightened Rishis created their own methods of knowing the
“Soul Algorithm”. I had been doing “Akashic Records Reading” for many years and
found this new method which is now known as “Nirmal Naadi”. The process helps
us in knowing past-present-future of a person through knowing the “Soul
Algorithm”. It is done by logging into “Causal Body” where all the records of
the Soul are available. It takes some time, about 20 minutes, to login to
causal body to “SEE” these records. So I prefer the method of counselling in
quiet environment with plain white wall as background to see and understand the
Causal energy field of the person in front of me. As the process progresses,
“Soul’s Karmic Algorithm” is revealed and many births’ Karmic patterns are
known. Which “Sanchit Karma” has come into “Prarabdha” is known and hence “Root
Cause” of Karmic issues is revealed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">The real
effectiveness of “Nirmal Naadi” is not in just knowing the “Root Cause” but the
remedial measures which follow instantly. There are many issues which just
disappear in the “Process of revelation”! Many simple and easy to use tips are
given to come out of karmic issues, instantly! It’s like changing the
software!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Q: Most naadi
shashtries recommend elaborate and costly poojas as remedial measures. Do you
also recommend such costly poojas? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">A: I do not
recommend elaborate and costly poojas done by someone else, as this is the
point where most educated people start doubting the Naddi Shastra, even though
they are amazed at the accuracy of prediction by such methods. Apart from
doubt, “Cost factor” is another stumbling block for those who find it difficult
to perform such poojas. In “Nirmal Naadi Shashtra” remedial measures are
through your own efforts through recognition of patterns and Re-patterning is
done instantly through “Awareness” and “Understanding”. At times, I take help
of Shaktipat and Shivapat methods for instant eradication of certain
troublesome patterns of the soul. The long term approach is through awakening
of “Inner Guru” of the counselee, through “Shivapat” that helps a person to
become “Jivan Mukta” to come out of all karmic troubles over a period of time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Q:
Traditionally all naadi shashtries use “Thumb Impression” for finding the palm
leaf, where records are written. Do you use the same method?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">A: No. Palm
leaf method was used by compassionate Rishis for the souls to be born in future
needing this help! My method is different. It is similar to “Jeeva Naadi” where
there are no written records but only “Live” records! Ours is a method that
uses “Live Reading” and hence the beauty of live interactions! This way,
through “Interactions” we are actually able to delete certain karmic effects
and can do a kind of “Reprogramming of destiny”!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Q: Is your
method proven scientifically?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">A: As on today
we do not have cameras which can photograph “Causal Body” hence direct proofs
are not possible at this time. May be, in future, as Kirlian photography methods
develop to photograph “Causal Body” we will be able to prove it instantly! But,
as on now, we have used statistical method, which is very much scientific and
accepted research tool by scientific community. More than scientific proof, the
effects are seen instantly while being in the process, so most people do not
care for scientific proof, as they are happy with solutions which start working
for them instantly! In fact “Nirmal naadi” is a kind of “Karma Delete Therapy”
that also works as “Re-patterning Tool” as it is done. The very process creates
extraordinary clarity in counselee to tackle life as it comes!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Q: I have also
heard that you know “Chhaya Shashtra” – The shadow reading?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">A: Yes, I had
been in touch with a great Chhaya Shashtri Master at Mumbai. I also told him my
desire to learn Chhaya Shashtra (Shadow reading). He said, I can teach you this
shashtra only if it is confirmed by your palm leaf. So, I told him to take out
my palm leaf patti and he read out… This soul in front will have desire to learn
Chhaya Shashtra because of his past birth Sadhana but it is not necessary to
teach him as it will be revealed to him with his Guru’s Grace after three
years. With this reading, I kept quiet for three years - and yes, as it was
read, it did get revealed as a matter of Guru-Kripa while studying
Shiva-swarodaya Shashtra and doing Chhayopasana. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Q: Can you
teach us these methods?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">A: Yes, I have
taught Shiv-swarodaya Shashtra to many in four day residential retreats. Few of
them have also learnt “Chhayopasana”. Those who learn chhayopasana and practice
it regularly, such advanced Sadhakas can do shadow reading. Nirmal Naadi method
of “Akashic Records Reading” is difficult to teach hence so far I have not
taught it to anyone. But, I am doing research in this subject along with
Astrology, and soon we will have a different method of “Nirmal Naadi” which I
will be able to teach to those who understand astrology in detail along with
Swara Shashtra. Also, to learn “Nirmal Naadi Reading” you must have few basic
abilities such as clairvoyance capacity to SEE Aura, Chakras and Causal body, well
developed sense of Intuition, capacity to know “Elements” in real-time,
clairsentience ability to feel the energy, clairaudience capacity to listen to
the whispers of the beyond, and awareness of the astral realms to receive the
help from astral masters. Also, you need to do Havan (fire ceremony) on regular
basis to clear your causal body of dark patches and for its illumination. All
these things can be learnt by enlightened beings with systematic long term approach
to learning. The “Blue Print” of such learning will be revealed in land of Sri
Ramana Maharshi when we visit Virupaksha caves for meditation in June 2014 at
Thiruvannamalai and Karmakshalan Retreat at Rameswaram and Courtallam in South
India. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Part 2<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Q: How did
Rishis write naadi (on palm leaves)?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">A: Rishis
meditated and attained a state of consciousness, which is beyond time. In that <i>avastha
</i>or a state of consciousness, past-present-future are all seen as NOW! In
this state it is possible to know with your intention. Also, there are time
pockets which are not available; hence it is NOT possible to know everything.
Yet, the compassionate Rishis have taken trouble of writing for those souls who
will need it in future and they have made all those palm leaves available. What
is written is hard copy of your partial Akashic Records! My head bows with
respect and my heart is filled with gratitude for all the Rishis for their
wonderful contribution to humanity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Q: If I read
various naadies, will my predictions be same?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">A: No. All
naadies concepts are slightly different and reading also can be different, even
though few basic points will match. Every Rishi used different method to find
soul’s karmic algorithms and hence minor variations in readings are very much
possible. Also, we need to understand that beyond certain limits of spiritual
evolution, our conscious choices play a vital role in deciding our destiny. So,
even though your destiny is written in a certain manner, with your conscious
choices, you can change it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Q: What is Jeeva
naadi?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">A: Jeeva naadi
is different in the sense that it is NOT written. It is live naadi. The interaction
with Akashic records in such case is real and alive. The corrections happen as
it is read and you can exercise your conscious choices to change it further. I
prefer this type because it gives you the chance to understand and correct on
your own. All other naadies need elaborate mechanism of changing your destiny
which is very costly! Basically, in Jeeva Naadi, the soul’s karmic patterns are
recognised and that forms the algorithm of the soul’s evolution. It follows the
seven ray technology of evolution. Once the combinations of various rays with their
positive and negative attributes are known, soul can change the patterns and
adopt a new methodology for faster evolution. This way, it becomes possible to
come out of karmic effects faster. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Q: Are karmic
effects real or just the imagination of mind?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">A: Ask those
who are suffering… Is suffering real or imaginary? If you say, it is imaginary,
you are an enlightened being and you do not need naadi reading! If you are
suffering and you need to know, why you are suffering, naadi reading can be a
great help in understanding. All those who are deeply unconscious or unaware of
the awakening aspect, for them <i>“Buddhi karmanu sharini” </i>which means,
your intellectual thinking is prompted by the effects of your karma! This is a
great insight!! Your intellect is NOT an independent faculty, as you
understand. Our <i>shanchita karma</i> sprouts and becomes <i>prarabdha</i>.
Our thinking is governed by this <i>prarabdha</i>, hence we make certain
decisions in line with <i>prarabdha</i> and we enjoy or suffer! This way, Law
of Karma governs us in totality and however intelligent one may be, you still
have to enjoy your good karmas and suffer your bad karmas! There is no simple
solution to this suffering, other than the process of awakening.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Q: Is “Nirmal
Naadi” similar to “Past Life Regression Therapy”?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">A: In past life
regression therapy, a person is taken into past lives memories through hypnosis
or meditative methods. The results of knowing the past lives vary drastically
depending on the success of regression. We have many people in our group who
have gone through PLR therapy and some of them, at the best got few glimpses of
one or two past lives. If you know your past lives, it becomes easier to know
the root cause of the problem. In “Nirmal Naadi” we can understand past lives
easily and can also understand the “Root Cause” without regression. Once the
“Root Cause” is known, it becomes easier to solve the problem and come out of
troubles! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Q: What is your
approach to naadi reading?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">A: My approach
to reading “Nirmal Naadi” is different, in the sense that I am using it as a
tool for counselling and problem solving. The entire process of “Nirmal Naadi
Reading”, we can call it as “Happiness Therapy”! We focus first on knowing the
problems, second, to know the root cause of it and third - on the solutions. To
make it more clear, here are various steps of reading Nirmal Naadi:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Step-1: To know
the problems and associated suffering in current situation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Step-2: To know
the root cause of suffering by patterns recognition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Step-3: Focus
on solutions to come out of suffering.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Step-4: Re-patterning
for avoiding the same suffering in future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Step-5: Increase
the light of awareness and understanding to go beyond the effects of karmic
entanglements to walk the path of liberation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">This way Nirmal
Naadi reading can help you to understand your patterns and, re-patterning
methods are made available instantly, so that you can come out of your self-sabotaging
patterns. Once you heal your self-sabotaging patterns, your suffering ends!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Once you become
aware of your patterns and have converted all your self-sabotaging patterns
into self-evolutionary patterns, you have to strengthen your light of awareness
and understanding to stay beyond the effects of your past karmas. The moment
you lose your awareness, you are back in the field of karmic effects and the
karmic game starts!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white;">Through “Nirmal
Naadi Reading”, you can understand this game better and can focus on the
permanent solutions to drop out of the game of birth and death, once and for
all. This is called “<i>Jivan Mukti</i>” or “Living Liberation”!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Divya Drishti – Guruji interviewed by Rishi Bodhi Satva (RBS)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RBS: Congratulations Guruji for this wonderful gift of Divya Drishti to
all. It’s amazing - how instantly every one could see Aura! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: Thank you Rishi…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RBS: Would you please share with us the secrets of Divya Drishti…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: Divya Drishti is an ancient art from Rishi Culture. Many Rishis
in past knew this Vidya. Many such incidences have been recorded in scriptures.
It is done by elevating the Soul to newer dimension. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RBS: Is it Shaktipat?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: It is Shaktipat plus Shivapat and much more! In this art of
giving Divya Drishti the entire environment is influenced through the
vibrations. That’s why everyone is able to see the unseen! There were people in
the room who did not understand Hindi or English, the language spoken during
meditation. Even those people got it! Because it is not the matter of language!
It is vibrations that elevate the soul!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RBS: But then why everyone got different results?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: The vibrations were emitted equally to all but everyone has
different and unique capacity to receive! It’s like you go to ocean to fetch
the water. Quantity of water you carry home will depend on the size of the
vessel you have!! This unique capacity depends on purity of soul. That’s why we
give so much importance to “Antahakaran Shuddhi” in our Sadhana. More the
purity, more the capacity to receive these vibrations! Everyone present in the
room could see aura. Many could see colors while few purest souls could even
see Angels in the room! Purest of souls got elevated to Angelic dimension by
receiving those vibrations hence they could see angels! It all depends on the
purity of soul.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RSB: In this Divya Drishti Initiation, are there levels?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: Yes! It’s fully developed science of Rishi Culture. There are
many levels of Initiations of Divya Drishti. First Level of Initiation is to
see Aura / Energy Body. Second level of Initiation is to see Astral body or
Emotional body, also known as color aura. Third level of Initiation is to see
Astral entities with naked eyes. With fourth level of initiations you can see
Chakras with naked eyes! With fifth level of Initiations you see causal body,
karmas, past births etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RSB: Wow! Awesome!! Has it been done? I mean all these levels
experiments you have done?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: Yes! 1452 Participants have got first level of Initiations so
far and 55 participants so far have got fourth level initiations and they are
able to see Chakras with naked eyes. We will conduct “Causal Lab” soon and
fifth level of Initiations will be available to those who participate in this
experiment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RSB: Guruji, is this ability to see the unseen permanent or does it go
away with passage of time?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: Divya Drishti initiations give you permanent ability to see the
unseen. The chances of gathering dust on this ability are always there. So,
it’s the responsibility of the recipient to remove the dust from one’s own
mirror!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RSB: So how to do daily dusting?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: Participant has to keep his/her mirror clean by daily practice
of 49 HB Nirmal Kriya followed by 6 step Nirmal Dhyan. Also, being humble and
simple in once behaviors and interaction with others helps but the most
important aspect of keeping the mirror clean is the practice of Attitude of
Gratitude. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RBS: Guruji, Can “Divya Drishti” be given to anyone and everyone?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: So far I have not come across a person who does not have the
capacity to receive these vibrations of “Divya Drishti” Initiations. In general
person has to be in good health and sound mind to receive this capacity. There
are no special pre-requisites for it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RBS: Guruji, what is the spiritual significance of this ability to see
aura multiple layers?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: Aura reading has tremendous significance on the path of Kriya
Yoga. Each layer seen is more like confirmatory test of your progress in
spiritual Sadhana. The very fact that you are able to see the unseen on your
own, with your naked eyes, gives tremendous confidence to you to walk the path.
Most modern educated people have lots of doubts about spiritual practices and
the progress on the path. Not many Gurus have systematic approach and hence
their disciples are not able to know their own progress on the path (the path
of no path!). But with Aura reading, you know for sure about your progress. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">During Aura Reading Sessions we have noted that few students are not
able to see only certain color. It has got Karmic connections with past birth
issues! So aura reading is not just the confirmatory test but it is also a
diagnostic tool to know your past birth pending issues. Aura reading gives us
so many insights into our own being! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RBS: What is the ultimate that is possible with this art and science of
aura reading?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: The ultimate is to know the secrets of Sutratma! To know your
past births and your journey so far and walk your own path to enlightenment –
the ultimate adventure! Aura reading ability at the peak helps us to see the
Akashic Records and we can also read the past births of a person and solve the
relationship entanglement issues. There are so many incidences in our life
which have no logical base! Our conscious mind always gets confused and hankers
for the answers but those answers are not there in the arena of the conscious
mind. The real answers to life’s existential questions are in understanding of
Sutratma and knowledge of pending past birth issues. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RBS: Do you have systematic records of such specific issues?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: Yes, as a scientist I had been good at compiling the records for
further analysis. In fact, now I am doing research in understanding Akashic
records and connecting them to Patterns recognition technique through
astrology. I am very happy with the insights we have got so far with this
research.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RBS: What is the purpose of such research?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: This research has tremendous significance for humanity! With
this research we can find out the “Root Cause” of any specific existential
issue of life, - may it be a karmic relationship entanglement, financial crisis
or detection of cancer. Not only that, we also get insights into how to heal
those issues! In past few months we have hundreds of cases where we have seen
such miracles happening. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RBS: Can you share some basic insights from your latest research
associating Akashic Records Reading and Astrology in lay man’s language?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji: Yes! Let me refer to some specific cases in front of me right
now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">(1) Stubbornness and weight management are connected. More the
stubbornness less are the chances of losing weight! Those who are highly
stubborn in their thoughts and behavior cannot lose weight with any method. So
Re-patterning needs to be done to move from Stubbornness to Flexibility! But,
this is not easy at the level of conscious mind. Intellectual information does
not create transformation! We need to look in to past lives pending issues and
see from where that stubbornness is coming. We also need to work-out the
methods for removing such effects from past lives. Only after that we get
breakthrough! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">(2) Most seekers are not able to sustain their enlightenment because
they do not practice gratitude. It is a pattern of not practicing gratitude
that needs to be changed!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">(3) Resentment in relationships (may it be this life time or previous
life times) causes cancer. Cancer also has few other associated issues such as
irritations / Anger / Pride / Insulting behavior etc. Once we understand these
patterns and do re-patterning, miraculous remission of cancer is possible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Now, do you understand the importance such research?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">RBS: Yes, Guruji. Thank you very much for sharing these most valuable
insights with us. Thank you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Congratulations Guruji for completion of the first phase of your mission!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji:
It’s not my mission… It’s His mission! It’s Babaji’s mission, I am just an
instrument in His hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">Rishi:
So what had been the achievements of first phase?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji:
It’s not the matter of achievement! It’s all Babaji’s blessings. Thousands of
people worldwide are practicing Kriya Yoga and Meditation regularly. So many of
them have become Clairvoyants! They can now see Aura with naked eyes! Many of
them have developed the ability to see astral beings, and can even see Chakras
with naked eyes!! Some of them are even able to see causal bodies and Akashic
records!!! These abilities are more like confirmatory tests and give the
participants’ lots of confidence and empowerment to progress further. All of
them have become more kind, loving and compassionate human beings, which is
more important than their clairvoyant abilities. It’s all the blessings of
Babaji! Anybody practicing Kriya and Meditation on regular basis will become a
better human being; there is no doubt about that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">Rishi:
Are you happy with the progress of your people?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji:
Yes, with blessings of Babaji, ours is the group which is practicing Kriya and
Meditation in highly scientific manner with documentation and results are
proven repeatedly by scientists. The growth of people who practiced Kriya and
Meditation on day to day basis had been amazing. Hundreds of practitioners got
enlightened and are very happy! They are slowly getting rooted in to Shiv-vyapti
and preparing to spread the light!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">Rishi:
What is the road-map to future?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji:
One thing we must continue is “Systematic approach to learning”. All the
results produced in such a short time are because of this systematic approach
and the universal breath based training methodology which has produced amazing
results. Anyone who progresses on the path with systematic approach will get
the results. Attitude of learning is must! Also, on the path of spirituality,
one should not be “alpa-sukhi” (satisfied with little). Keep learning and keep
progressing. Divine discontent is a virtue! We are really blessed to have
amazing tools and techniques and great knowledge from scriptures from Kashmir
Shaivism, Ashtavakra Gita and Tripura Rahasya. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">Our
next phase is to get more focused on making of Masters. Masters who can teach
Kriya Yoga, Meditation, Do Shaktipat and Shivapat and help spread enlightenment
education. We will be doing lots of “Train the Trainer” programs in near future
and prepare hundreds of Masters to carry on with His mission. We also need to
systematize the certification procedure so that non-competent and untrained
people do not get in to unauthorized teaching which can be harmful to people.
All those senior seekers who are interested in getting training in how to initiate
others in Kriya Yoga, will be given systematic training and prepared in a right
manner to carry on with Guru-karya. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">It
gives me immense pleasure to share this information with you that so many
people have responded to my e-mail and SMS about doing Guru-karya, and the
inflow of confirmation continues… Now I have no doubt that we will be
progressing at a very fast pace and with blessings of Babaji, thousands of more
people will be walking the path of liberation through Kriya Yoga. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">Liberation
is easy this way because of so many confirmed milestones and ways of quantum
jump! This was kept hidden for such a long time! Babaji is helping us to open
up the knowledge to those who care for it and practice GRATITUDE. It’s a great
journey! Very thrilling and also satisfying!! 20 Years back, I had never
thought that the Path to Enlightenment can be systematized to such an extent,
that anyone who has attitude of learning can understand it so completely, in
such a short duration!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">His
GRACE is immense! All those who practice GRATITUDE will make themselves
eligible to receive His GRACE. Awareness and Understanding needs to be
constantly upgraded to grow as human being. Love and compassion are the
virtuous outcome of the enlightened state. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Guruji, would you please elaborate on phase 2 of the mission?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji:
We have been chosen by Babaji for spreading Grihasthionka Adhyatma -
Householders’ Spirituality. With unflinching support from Guruma in every
activity of Guru-Karya we have come so far. In 1860 Sri Lahiri Mahashaya had
been chosen for the same reason. We are continuing on the same lines of
House-holders’ Kriya Yoga. On this path Sanyas is NOT necessary to evolve
spiritually. You can continue to do what you are doing, it may be a Job or
Business, be with your family and as a normal householder you practice Kriya
and Meditation on regular basis to walk the path of liberation. This kind of
Spirituality is not at all against your Grihastha Dharma which also includes
your married life and your material well-being. 99.9% people on planet earth
are house-holders but 90% spirituality is promoted and dominated by Sanyasis
and Avadhootas and Aghoras and like…making householders feel helpless at times!
Every householder seeker gets this thought once in a while – A Sanyasi has all
the time and has no responsibility of household so he can walk the path of
spirituality but how can I - as a householder with a family and all the associated
responsibilities and very little time for spiritual practices - can evolve
spiritually? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">So,
we have started working hand in hand with our householder friends. Thousands of
couples have been initiated in to Kriya Yoga. They are walking the path of
“Seven dimensional Prosperity” through Kriya Yoga and many of them have evolved
in wonderful ways. They are able to manage their responsibilities very well and
also find time to do their spiritual practices. We have also introduced
“Prosperity Yoga” recently for those who are worried about their material
well-being and “work-life balance” which is very important for a householder. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">In
Phase 2 of His mission we have been directed by Him to work with couples and
families and initiate them in to Mokshadayini Kriya. This is one of the higher
Kriya (Ucha-kriya) and ideally suitable for householders with little time for
their spiritual practices on day to day basis. This path brings about harmony
in the family and helps everyone in the family to evolve materially as well as
spiritually. It is a very balanced path! Also, lots of messages have come from
Babaji for Karmakshalan Kriyas. Those of you who have attended Bali
International camp have experienced the power of Water and Fire Kriyas as
karmakshlan process. Kriya Yoga has made “Living Enlightenment” possible for
thousands of couples! The major role was played by SHIVAPAT experiences and the
CLARITY of UNDERSTANDING given by Babaji. Once that AWARENESS and UNDERSTANDING
settles in your being, Living Enlightenment is easy! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Please tell us something about the scientific research work and its importance
in phase 2 of the mission.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">Guruji:
Since childhood, I had been associated with many spiritual organisations such
as Chinmaya Mission, Ramakrishna Mission, Brahma Kumaries and many such organisations.
I had also been influenced by members of Andha-Shraddha Nirmoolan Samity. The
reason being, most of spiritual practices I saw in India, I noticed that most
of it was based on BLIND FAITH (Andha-Shraddha) and very little TRUTH. Many hotchpotch
Babas talking mumbo-jumbo spirituality wanted their “followers” to have faith
in them and their words while it never made any sense to a scientific mind. I
also saw lots of exploitation of ignorant people going on in name of
spirituality. An “Avadhoot” tantric Baba was circulating Chappaties with tea
leaves spread on it that would double in few days! (It was nothing more than a
case of fungus, scientifically speaking!!) When I started travelling out of
India, I saw similar things in Gulf countries as well. One of my students
showed me those chappaties with great reverence for a baba and she described
how it doubles in every home and she was to continue the chain of this
non-sense!! I had mixed feelings by being with her. She was well educated and
working in corporate world and yet so gullible and absolutely no scientific
understanding. Seeing all such incidences, I decided that we, as a group, must
strive for scientific spirituality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">Great
Masters are very compassionate and had been giving us wonderful knowledge. For
us there is no need to doubt it or to prove it… But, the modern world does not
believe in mere words. Modern youth – not only in India, but everywhere in
world – have started asking questions, seeking scientific proofs. Hence I
decided to cooperate with all those scientist friends who were keen on doing
research work. The first one was a Russian lady, Dr. Ludmila from
Healthholistic.com Dubai during my first visit in 2008. She had most modern
Bio-Feedback machine that worked on auric field sensors and represented the
functioning of various organs through graphs. When my scanning was going on,
she called all her scientist friends and all were surprized to see the amazing
coherence represented by graphs. Dr. Ludmila wanted to know how exactly it is
possible and I taught Kriya Yoga and Holistic Health Exercises to their entire
family. This was the beginning of our scientific work. After this during my
visit to Muscat, our friends from Sultan Qaboos University wanted to see
functioning of my heart and brain. The serious experimentation and
documentation started but that was not enough. So, we started a scientific wing
with a team of scientists to do systematic documentation of effects of Nirmal
Kriya and Nirmal Dhyan on human heart and brain. Our team is doing amazing work
and soon we are going to have a Mega Event to share the results with every one
of you and also publish it in medical journals so that future generations can
do the further research work on Kriya Yoga. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-size: 10.0pt;">In
India, we have amazing knowledge in various traditions but because we do not
have scientific temperaments and habit of documenting the results of
experiments we cannot tell the world about Yoga with great confidence. With

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Q-1: I am
practicing 49HB Kriya which I learn in L-1 two years back. I feel bored while
practicing it and I don’t think I am progressing further on the path. Please
help.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A-1: This is
normal and experienced by thousands of people practicing Kriya. Any one Kriya
you do, will give you good results max up to 48days because your body gets
saturated with prana with a specific technique and it DOES NOT add value to
your Kriya practice. “Incremental Add-on” is the essence of Kriya Yoga. It is a
live tradition. You need to learn higher kriyas and move further. Getting stuck
with any one practice is no good. It is bound to bring boredom! For you, next
step is to learn “Nadi-samhar Kriya”. You will bounce back to zest of life with
it. You will also learn to recognize your attitudes and blind spots with it. To
come out of “Blind-Spots” you need to practice “Shakti-Chalini Kriya” for 48
days. Continue learning and practicing, you will soon grow in the dimension of Light
of Awareness. Slow and steady wins the race! Kriya yoga is a very systematic
way to increase Awareness. Delta change (small incremental change) every 48
days is the essence of growing through Kriya practices. Please study
“Panch-Pakoda Principle” from 21 Points Teaching book and find your own chart
of combinations of various aspects – such as – Dhyan, Gyan and Bhakti which
needs to be added to your Kriya practice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Q-2: I
practice Kriya daily but feel more growth happening with Gyan-Yoga. Should I
continue Kriya practice or shift to Gyan Yoga completely? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A-2:
Practice of Kriya throws you in to meditation where Gyan happens! For
intellectual people, it is good to give ATTENTION to few basic qualities of a
MASTER and keep growing in to that dimension through contemplation. Gyan – Yoga
is an idea whose time has come! With the dawn of new frequency, more and more
intelligent people will get attracted to this way. I recommend you to read
Ashtavakra Geeta and Tripura Rahasya. With this new knowledge, you will grow
very rapidly on the path. Practice of Kriya is necessary to keep vitality high,
without which understanding the scriptures is not possible. Also, continue to
meditate as without meditation the intellectual knowledge can get converted in
to intellectual arrogance! Also, add Bhakti and be simple and humble and
practice GRATITUDE to sustain “Enlightened Living”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Q-3: I am
practicing Kriya and Meditation for last six months religiously. I did
experience growth but my clarity of thinking is not very high. What should I do
to increase the clarity?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A-3: As you
have learnt in L-1 & L-2; the Panch-MahaBhuta- Shuddhikaran-Process is an
important learning. Every seeker has to take care of food and nutrition to take
care of EARTH element. Drink Alkaline Charged water to balance WATER element.
Do Homa-Havan (Fire ceremonies) to increase clarity of FIRE element. Do Kriya
daily to balance AIR element and Meditation on daily basis balances SPACE
element. Now if you see, in our modern lifestyle, FIRE is the deficit factor.
Because of lake of fire element, clarity of thought is missing. Hence I
recommend that you add “Havan therapy” to your practice on regular basis. Fire
has fantastic advantages as far as the clarity of thought is concerned. It also
adds to Light of Awareness! In the new frequency, FIRE has a big role to play.
Rishi Culture always knew this secret and hence on every occasion, Rishis do
Havan to get clarity. The appropriate action is possible only if you have
clarity of thought, without which it is not possible to grow in awareness. So,
I highly recommend that you add “Agnihotra” practice on working days and do
full-fledge Havan on weekends when time permits. Once the deficit factor is
taken care, you will start enjoying balanced lifestyle! God Bless You!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

attended L-1 last month and practicing Kriya regularly. I am experiencing high
levels of sexual excitement. Is it because of Kriya? How do I handle it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A-5: Once
you start practicing “Panch-Mahabhuta- Shuddhikaran Process” you gain positive
health and start enjoying life in all dimensions. For a young man like you, it
is normal. Focus more on doing your day to day activities with higher awareness
and practice meditation daily. Also read good books and be with people in
healthy environment. Watching – witnessing you transcend the urge! Try it!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Q-6: I have
started enjoying Kriya and meditation since last month L-1 course, but my spouse
is dead against spiritual practices and creating troubles for me whenever I
seat in meditation. How do I handle this challenging situation?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A-6: This is
the most difficult question to answer! </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> I recommend that you come
as rejoicer with your spouse to next L-1 course. House-holder’s spirituality is
to be practiced together for harmonious living. When husband and wife – both
walk the same spiritual path, the conflicts are lesser. Also, learn to respect
uniqueness of your spouse as much as your own uniqueness. Continue to practice
“Detached Involvement” especially while at home. Be more loving and caring!
Give enough attention and I hope, your spouse will not have objections to your
meditations! If you have right attitude, every disturbance helps you to get in
to expanding awareness! Don’t worry. In any case, you will get used it in three
years of married life!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Q-1: I had
been doing Kriya and Meditation for last six months regularly. I have become
aware of my emotionality but I am not able to control my emotions 100%. Please
bless me to come out of negative emotions such as fear, anger, jealousy and
guilt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A-1:
Practice “Attention” of all that is happening. The moment you are attentive to
an emotion, it rises to the peak and then withers away! Get in to such attentive
mode all the time. This is the beginning of “Emotional Awareness”. With this
you will be able to recognize your “Trigger Points” (What triggers your
emotionality?) You will also become aware of your “Emotionality Patterns’. Once
you have the awareness of these things, you only need to practice “Emotional
Awareness” and “Emotional Regulation” to reduce it and come out of it
completely. You can also do re-patterning to substitute a positive pattern once
you know your negative pattern. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">It all
starts with “Attitudinal Corrections” to look in to our own “Blind Spots”. Most
people do not grow because they do not have right set of attitudes. This world
needs attitudinal training in a big way! Training in emotional intelligence is
the next thing. Learning is growing. Learning and practicing is the solution.
You are asking – “Please bless me to come out of negative emotions…” My
blessings are always with you but only blessings will not help you. You have to
learn and implement what is being said. It is said, “Blessings of Mahavatar
Babaji is showering all the time!” We need to raise ourselves to get it. We
raise ourselves to such heights by learning to increase our Awareness and
Understanding. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Q-3: What
is the difference between Attention and Awareness? Are they same and
interchangeable or have different meaning? Also, what is the difference between
Sakshi and Drishta? What is consciousness? Is it same as Atma? It’s all very
confusing. Pl clarify…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A-3: Yes!
For a beginner it is all very confusing! If you read more books of many Masters,
it will be even more confusing as all Masters have used these words in their
own ways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">So let us have
clarity. Attention is a “Quality of higher-Self” capable of throwing Light and
illuminating the field. Say, for example, your leg is moving unconsciously. The
moment you give attention to it, its field is illuminated and as a result it
becomes known to you. Awareness is real YOU, you can call it awakened atman.
(Un-awakened Atman is Badhaatma – bonded soul - normally called Jivatma). When
awareness becomes aware of itself, it is known as awakening – Buddhahood –
Enlightenment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sakshi
mean Sa-Akshi meaning one with eyes or the one who is seeing! Seer in you is Sakshi!
It’s active awareness of thought. Active Drishta is Sakshi. When you start
watching the watcher, Sakshi gets converted in to Drishta. Drishta is passive
awareness. When awareness becomes aware of itself, trio of “Drishta – Drishya –
Darshan” disappears! This is enlightenment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Consciousness
is the substratum on which the game is played. You can consider the game of
illusion as movie, various Jivatmas as actors acting in the movie. The
consciousness is the curtain on which the movie is projected. Hence everything
else is changing except the curtain of consciousness!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Word “Atma”
is used in common language in Indian culture. It is to be understood as Jivatma
when it is shrouded by various belief systems and hence bonded and not free.
Here, it is called as Jivatma or Baddha-atma. When it gets released from its
karma, it merges in to higher-self known as Paramatma. This is a good landmark
but not the end of the journey. From here onwards one needs to walk the path to
Monad by tracing Sutratma and through Antahkaran shuddhi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Q-4: I had
been to many Gurus and had blessings of them as many Gurus visit Dubai. Even
after receiving all their blessings, most of the time I am confused and I don’t
seem to be growing on spiritual path. Why is it so?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A-4:
Meeting various Gurus and getting their blessings is good. Masters blessings
are always good. But they do not work equally well for all as your Karma will
define your life journey. Masters blessings are like ocean! Everyone will
receive according to the size of your pot. How much can you carry in your pot?
Even if your pot is bigger, it will not last forever. So, you may feel good for
some time, but it will remain temporary. Hence only Master’s blessings cannot
create the change or transformation you are looking forward to. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">You need
to walk your path. It’s your own journey! It’s better to be in touch with a
Master with whom you click well and the one who is available to you for
personal guidance. Today, most popular Gurus have become so big, they do not
meet anybody! They are not even available to their disciples who are also their
teachers! And this is not for criticism of anybody. Because of the size of the
organizations, it is practically impossible for them to meet their own people! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Be wise.
Know for sure that “Everything that glitters is not gold!” Take your own
decisions. Don’t get trapped in to “Cooked up - promoted Stories” by such
groups.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">One of the
real ways to know the Master is through Science. Today modern science is
developed to the extent that even “Enlightenment” can be proved in a
laboratory! Pseudo teachers will start trembling the moment you talk to them
about taking them to laboratory. And those who are smart to protect their hypocrisy
- will say, “I have nothing to prove!” (Really they have “nothing” to prove!) Scientific
spirituality is always a better option. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Another
way to know a pseudo teacher is they ask for faith in them at the beginning! A
real Guru will say, experiment! A real Master does not ask for faith. The true
faith will happen as a by-product of your experimentation with meditation
through your own experiences. If the methodology is right, you will grow in
AWARENESS. If you are not growing in awareness, it’s time to look within. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Shaivism, Tripura Rahasya, Sri Vidya, Ashtavakra Geeta and all such scriptures
talk about spiritual practices which are for developing Awareness and
Understanding. Many teachers who are Mystics (But not the Master) – They have
their own experience, and some capable Mystics can also transfer their
experience through Pranapat / Shaktipat but as they do not have the way to help
you to increase your AWARENESS and UNDERSTANDING hence you cannot get benefited
much by following them! In “Masters Training” this is the first topic. Read

soon going to announce weeklong retreats on Ashtavakra Geeta, Tripura Rahasya,
Kashmir Shaivism and Sri Vidya. Pyramid Ashram at Kalyan is now ready for this
type of intense learning. High intensity learning is NOT for masses. It is only
for those who are sincere seekers and want to learn and grow. Those who do not
expect to grow only with blessings are ready for such learning experiences. If
you believe that only Master’s blessings will do it for you, you are mistaken. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The real
meaning of the “Blessings of the Master” is when you are with a Master you
start learning and growing in Awareness and Understanding and that is the way
you absorb the blessings. It has more to do with YOU and the situation of
“Intense Learning”. A real Master will create an environment and motivate
disciples to walk the path. The way there are no free meals in the same way
there is no ready-made enlightenment! Enlightenment is guaranteed if you walk
the path of Awareness and Understanding. All the scriptures are talking about
this only. Because you do not read scriptures, you do not understand this.
Weekend teachers themselves do not have time for scriptures hence they are not
capable of giving such clarity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">As a
student in my Sadhana years, I have asked this question of “Blessings” to many
great Masters personally. (J. Krishnamurti, Swami Chinmayananda, Swami
Dayananda Saraswati, Osho Rajneesh, Kiran Swami, Sant Amitabh, Vimala Thakkar, Dada
Gavand, Ramesh Balsekar, Ranjit Maharaj, Pilot Baba, Gorakh Baba to name a few)
because the most popular sayings of Kriya Yoga is “Guru Kripa hie Kevalam”.
Now, if only Guru-kripa is going to do the job, why should I do Kriya and
Meditation and learn the scriptures? All the Masters said, “You need to do your
bit to prepare yourself!” And that’s the point!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Q-5: What
is the difference between Shaktipat and Shivapat? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">A-5:
Shaktipat is “Energy Transfer” from Master to Disciple. At lower level it is
Pranapat. It elevates your Prana-Shakti and you gain health. At times, few Shaktipat
Masters open the chakras with Shaktipat but the real Shaktipat awakens the
Kundalini and it is rare! Masters who can handle Kundalini awakening of
individuals are rare and those who can do such experiments at mass level are
rarest!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Shivapat
is NOT “Energy Transfer”. Shivapat is all about Master sharing his own
Enlightenment with the disciples by instantly raising them to newer dimension
of awakening. Shivapat experience will take you to higher levels of Awareness
and will help you walk your own path in true sense. Through Shivapat
experiences when Master shares his Enlightenment, disciple gets it as Satori
experience! Satory experience is a glimpse of enlightenment. It becomes
permanent when you listen to words of the Master and remain in the higher
understanding which is your own! All of you who have attended Aura Workshop
have seen the magical effects of Shivapat. How instantly it elevates your
awareness and the effect is you actually start “seeing” with two eyes! In
genuine spirituality there is no component of imagination. All those who focus
on “Third Eye” they are not seeing, they are hallucinating! When Kundalini
rises up to third eye; one starts hallucinating. It’s only when the wisdom eye
opens, hallucinations stop! This is proven scientifically and also
statistically. And the most important point here is - unless your awareness grows,
you will never be able to differentiate between what is real and what is
hallucination. Most seekers today are caught-up in “Mind Games” because they do
not have right methodology of “Awareness Development”. Path to liberation is
not through the hallucinations of third eye; it is through awareness
development with understanding. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #002060; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">All those
who are running after “Experiences” let us have right understanding of this
very experience. The very nature of “Experience” is such that it cannot last
forever! Hence do not hang on to your old experiences. What you are hanging on
is only the “memory” of that experience and not the real experience! In fact,
hanging on to the memory of an experience becomes hurdle to have further
experiences! Consider all experiences as passing phase! All experiences belong
to the “Experiencer”! And who is the experiencer? Ego is the experiencer! When
you have no more experiences, that is the real experience (Anubhuti)! No
experience is sustainable. Only Understanding is sustainable. Learning the
scriptures is necessary to develop the understanding. Only those who have
systematic learning approach and do appropriate Sadhana grow on the spiritual
path. This way you develop your “Experiential Understanding”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

presence is a blessing of life. In the presence of the Master the growth is

message! Gurudev Dattatreya helps the disciple Parshuram on the path to

If a Vishnu’s avatar needs a live Guru, what about you and me? Other Vishnu’s

Recently I came across a miracle. I saw lot of ash flowing down from a
photograph of a spiritual Master. Being a scientific minded person, I keep
thinking about it as I know that to every miracle there is an underlying
structure. The moment we know the science, it is no more a miracle. But in this

is a science called “Teleportation” where an article travels through the
“Sub-Space” and hence its movement is not seen by naked eyes. Scientists have

the modern times, Swami Vishuddhananad Dev knew it and he used to demonstrate
such things and many other miracles through “Surya Vigyan”. It is a science of molecular
modification through use of sun rays and subtle elemental control. Pandit

incidences in his book “In Secret search of India”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

me narrate this incidence which happened in front of 100+ scientists from world
over in a conference at Bangalore, two years back. A spiritual master called a
person from audience and made him sit on a chair facing audience. Then master
went behind him and rubbed hands on his head to take out a crystal ball. I was
in the front raw and photographed this event. The Master was none other than
Rev. Alex Orbito, a Philippines based popular Psychic surgeon and the person on
whose head he created the crystal ball was none other than Ex. CBI Director Dr.
D. R. Karthikeyan, the one who investigated the Rajiv Gandhi case and he is now
a legal advisor to Indian government. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

are Tantriks who have demonstrated it too. They use “Pishach Siddhi” for such
purpose. They have a team of “Pishach” (ghosts) under their control and they
help to do such tasks. It is possible to see the movement of such subtle bodies
by clairvoyants and also by modern Kirlian cameras. This method seems to be the
most popular these days as most cases are of this type. A tantric can order his
“Team” to carry the ash from one place and put it at another place. It can be a
photograph or it can be on your head too! A friend from Dubai recently narrated
one such his experience in which ash started flowing from his crown chakra when
he was with a Tantrik master in south India! Somehow my friend saved himself
but most gullible audience gets influenced by such Tantriks and they get
exploited. At times, those who get exploited don’t even know! Few consider such
experience as “Spiritual experiences” and start promoting such experiences on
their blogs and groups to impress the novice spiritual seekers through
glamorizing them as something special! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and watch. With development of modern science, everything is becoming clear! Modern
Kirlian cameras and “Aura videos” are helping us to segregate genuine from
fake! Another point to note: Genuine Masters demonstrate in front of scientists
while fake ones hide the name of their tantric masters! Think… and you will
become clear on this point.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

meditation - as your mind becomes subtler, you can get special powers called

spiritism. If you are an intellectual or scientific minded person, better focus
on Vihangam Marg (The way of a Bird) by reading books of Vihangam Marga Masters

With modern scientific equipment, it is possible to look into the activity of
mind through MRI scanning of brain. There are many methods. In sleep labs too
it is possible to know the activity of certain points in brain. So, it is
possible to prove the state of non-thinking in laboratory by monitoring the
brain wave activity. Scientists say, “If one can stay in a state of
non-thinking for about 40 minutes at a stretch, God spot situated in brain gets
activated and person gets special experiences” Scientists are working to know
the activities of certain points in brain (associated with pituitary and pineal
glands) and trying to correlate the brain mapping with it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

normally seen in everyone. In certain cases scientists have seen C40 and C200
waves. These are not localized at certain points in the brain but they are coherent
oscillations of 40Hz or 200Hz seen across the brain. These non-localized gamma
waves are indicative of extraordinary state of meditator when thoughts are not
there but awareness is highest. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Namaskar!<br />
<br />
<br />
Today’s topic is 36 Elements of Kashmir Shaivism.<br />
<br />
When I started reading Kashmir Shaivism the first thing that struck to me was that it was like diamond coming in my hands. The diamond has many facets. In Kashmir Shaivism if we see, the different facets throw light on to different aspects of objective world as well as subjective world. That is how it makes your understanding complete. So we have got this diamond in our hand and all the new facets are coming in front of us every time when Sir is speaking. That is how the understanding is becoming complete. Now we will start with today’s topic of 36 elements.<br />
<br />
When we speak about 36 elements, they are basically the fundamental building blocks of creation. Shiva decided to create the Universe from his Iccha Shakti, It is Lord Shiva’s will, so it is independent and unlimited. It is Shiva’s Svatantrya Shakti. Thus out of his independent will, he decided to create the Universe because he wanted to experience what is it to be in various forms of creation - and through them, have the enjoyment of different experiences. So he decided to create the Universe. When he thought of that, the first thing that happened was he started expanding. When we say Shiva, it is Param Shiva - the Supreme Subjective Consciousness which is all pervading and absolutely inert. From any inert thing, the creation cannot emerge. So the first thing that started was Shiva started expanding. When he started expanding Shakti came out of it. Shiva is the first element in Kashmir Shaivism and Shakti is the second element. Now Shiva and Shakti are inseparable. Shiva is the consciousness aspect and Shakti is the bliss energy aspect of the same thing. They are together and unless they are together further things cannot happen. Only Shiva or only Shakti alone is incapable of creating anything. So Shiva started expanding. From that emerged Shakti. In Shakti Shiva is very much there. It is the expanded Shiva.<br />
<br />
Shiva decided to have this Universe and how this Universe will be? It is the reflection of Shiva in his own nature. It is not that the mirror is different and the object is different and the object is getting reflected into that mirror. No! Shiva himself is the mirror and he decided to reflect the Universe in his own nature. So in the process of expansion Shakti came. To make the understanding of 36 elements easier we can see it this way - it is actually the process of creation of anything that gets created. Whether it is the creation of Universe or creation of any other thing like you are starting a factory or it is a creation of the movie, any process of creation goes through this. To make the understanding easier let’s take an example. When you think that I want to start a factory does the factory manifest on its own? No, there is a process through which it goes and the work happens in phases. The work does not happen overnight. The first thing is the will that you have to start something, then you start getting the knowledge of what all possibilities are there. When you have the knowledge then you start thinking that if I have to do then how will I do? In creation when it is going to start it goes through this.<br />
<br />
In the same way Shiva decided that if the Universe has to come into existence, then there has to be energy which will work for him. From Shiva, the energy of consciousness Chit Shakti emerged Shakti which is the energy of bliss and they are in bliss. Chidanada they were in that blissful consciousness state; but again for the universe to get created what was needed was Iccha Shakti, the power of will to create the Universe. Iccha Shakti is not translated as power of desire. It is the power of will. It’s the inner will which is Iccha Shakti. From his nature first what he created was Iccha Shakti. If he has the will to do something only then that thing can happen. If that inner will is not there then that thing will not happen. First Shiva created will in the form of energy of will, power of will which is called Iccha Shakti. Thus the third element was created which is called as Sadashiva – the power of revealment of Shiva. It says “I am the Universe”<br />
<br />
From that he further expanded and created Gyan Shakti that is the Energy of Knowledge. The fourth element got created, which was Ishvar - the Power of Concealment of Shiva. If you want to create something unless you have the knowledge how will you proceed further? So it is the Gyan Shakti, the Energy of Knowledge that is created. Now Shiva expanded into that, he did not create it, he expanded into that aspect of creation and there he says, “This Universe is Me”. <br />
<br />
So first came Shiva, then the second element Shakti, third Sadashiva, fourth Ishvar. That is From the Pure Subjective Consciousness, Paramshiva, first emerged the Energy of Consciousness, Chit Shakti. Then it expanded into Energy of Bliss, Anand Shakti. Further it gave rise to Iccha - the Energy of Will. Further Shiva moved and created Energy of Knowledge. which is the Gyaan Shakti, the Energy of Knowledge. You may have the knowledge but will the things happen? No, unless you start working on it things cannot happen. For that what you need is Kriya, the Energy of Action. There are lots of big project we see. If they remain in the mind will the manifestation happen? It cannot happen. So you need to have the plan of action. Thus came the fifth element Shudhhavidya, the Energy of Action of Shiva. Now the next phase starts. These are the five Shuddha tattvas, <br />
<br />
Here the action has not yet started, the plan has just manifested in the mind of Shiva. It has not yet manifested in the objective world. Shiva is the Subjective Consciousness, it has decided to experience what it is to be in a body and he wanted to experience the creation, So the Objective Consciousness is the objective world and Shiva is the Subjective Consciousness. From there it is coming down now. Till now all these were the Pure elements. <br />
<br />
If we have pure gold and when we try to make ornament out of that pure gold, we first have to add impurity and only from that impure and hardened material the ornament can be made. And this process is applicable in creation of anything if you want to have a sustainable creation, when the impurity is added the action starts. A pure element is an inert element. It does not act. When the impurity is added to it, the action can be started. So further to these first five pure elements starts the next phase.<br />
<br />
It is actually a phase. I will tell you about a further chapter of The Secret Supreme, which is about Shadadhvan which tells about different phases and different paths and how in each phase this work is carried out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPmDzRS4IiXK29Sb3Y_u51Lb_BDrhEuWuUJNKRggz5yfLkzVrUwZOTi97UUoKhrDKcO12kO6B35Y0DuIKJBiFJwP5Ogg0wK0qtpUg9ZDUaJUCePTMbxl6QZNI9FBfpHHAkV-jykybwLjA/s1600/DSC05625.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPmDzRS4IiXK29Sb3Y_u51Lb_BDrhEuWuUJNKRggz5yfLkzVrUwZOTi97UUoKhrDKcO12kO6B35Y0DuIKJBiFJwP5Ogg0wK0qtpUg9ZDUaJUCePTMbxl6QZNI9FBfpHHAkV-jykybwLjA/s320/DSC05625.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Next phase is he wants to become a Jiva. From here the phase of adding the impurity begins. Here Shiva has all the unlimited powers and with those unlimited powers, he will not be able to become a Jiva, that is a Limited Being. So in order to bring Himself into a limited form, what he does is he first creates the veil of Maya – the illusion. So the next element is the element of Maya, the power of illusion. Why is it needed? If you are unlimited how will you become limited and experience it. Illusion has to be created. With the unlimited power of will that is Svatantra Shakti he decided that he wants to become limited and he wants to experience it - so this veil of Maya! Thus by coming under the veil of Maya and wearing five jackets of limitedness, the five Kanchukas, now Shiva becomes Purusha which is the limited being. How does he become that? <br />
<br />
The first thing is the limited aspect of creativity. Nature of Shiva is Sarvakartutvam that is unlimited creativity. He can do anything that he wants to do and His Svatantrya Shakti is such that there is nothing to oppose it. Whatever he wants to do he can do it. Here first aspect of limitedness comes. Limited being can do something but that will be limited because Shiva has created this veil of Maya under which Shiva thinks that only limited things can be done. But it is Shiva only. All through these 36 elements this aspect has to be kept in mind that it is the Shiva who is descending. That means all these basic 36 elements are not separate from Shiva. Shiva himself is descending through these 36 elements. <br />
<br />
The first aspect which comes is the limited aspect of creativity that is Kalaa. When we say “Chandra ki Kala”, it is a phase, a part of moon. Normally Kalaa word, we use in context where we mean any art form. But these art forms also why we started calling Kala? It is because it is the limited aspect of entire creativity. That is why we call music as Kalaa, dance as Kalaa because it is just one part and not whole! Thus from here only this word Kalaa has got attached to performing arts. So Kala is the limited creativity. Let us take the analogy of starting a factory or a film production. You can have limited products. You cannot produce unlimitedly. <br />
<br />
Proceeding further on the analogy that I gave you if you start thinking, you will understand the further aspects and you do not have to mug up the elements. You have decided to create, it is going to be limited creation, so you have to know in that limited aspects what all things could be created or how to create them. So the third element Vidya tattva comes into picture - the limited power of knowledge in the sequence of Pure-impure elements. Here Shiva’s capacity is Sarva-jnananatvam – all knowing! From that Sarvajnananatvam, coming under the veil of Maya he decides that I can know only limited. So the aspect of limited knowledge - Vidya tattva emerged. How are these limitations felt? You always feel that I want to know this I want to know that too. Only learning this is not sufficient; let me learn that too! Ultimately you feel that there is a limitation on what all you can know. Why does one feel that way? It is because under the veil of Maya and in the effect of Vidyaa tattva it is the Shiva who is saying that I can know limited. So whatever I can know will be limited. So this vidya tattva keeps on telling you that you will know limited.<br />
<br />
These are the Shuddha-ashuddha tattvas or the Pure-impure elements that we are discussing. First is Maya under which the five Kanchukas or jackets come. The first was Kalaa tattva, after that was Vidya. <br />
<br />
Now the third is the Raaga tattva, the limited attachments. Purna madaha, Purnamidam, Purnaat purna mudachyate. Purnasya, purna maadaya Purna mevaavashishshyate – a Wholeness, completeness! That is Shiva’s real nature which is Purnatvam - completeness. But when it comes to limitedness it says that something is lacking in me. If I get this I will become complete. Something lacking in you, this feeling is given by Raag tattwa, the power of Limited Attachment! You cannot attach to infinite things. This limited attachment makes you think that I have only limited things and if I have this I will become complete, this purnatvam of Shiva has got converted into Raaga tattva which is the limited aspect of it.<br />
<br />
From this the next thing that comes is Kaal. Shiva’s nature is Nityatvam. Shiva is eternal. That eternal being when it wants to come into that limited aspect, it will be for a particular duration and that is from where comes the Kaal tattwa which says that today I am sitting here, yesterday I was there and tomorrow I will be there. Aspect of today, tomorrow, yesterday came from this Kaal tattva because of this limitedness of time. Otherwise Shiva is eternal! Tomorrow, today these aspects are not there and that is where this aspect of aging also comes into picture. If there is Nityatvam will there be concept of aging? It won’t be there because we are eternal. But we say, “I am 47 years old or 54 years old or whatever! Aging came from the limitedness of time which tells you that you can live only for a limited span of life. That is why when Sir Keeps on explaining about the immortal Masters, it is this aspect that they have gone beyond, that is why they have become immortal. They don’t have the concept of 54 years old and all that. They are eternal, their existence is eternal. They have crossed this aspect, they have gone beyond Maya and they have beyond this tattva also. <br />
<br />
On the basis of same analogy, you have decided to create say a factory. For the same limited aspect now you have got the knowhow. Further you decide only these products can be manufactured. Next is this much time is required for the production to come into existence. Next is where it will be? It cannot be everywhere, it is limited thing that is going to come up, so it will have a particular place and that is Niyati, the destiny – the limited aspect of Space. This is the limited aspect of Shiva which tells that it is the limited aspect of space. Sarva-vyapakatvam is the quality of Shiva which means all-pervading. From there it has come to the tattva which is the limitation that is Niyati. That is why we say that I wanted to go there but I could not because I cannot be at two places simultaneously. I can be only at one place at any given time. The Jiva when it comes into the body says that I will be at one place at any given time. That is how the Niyati Tattva came. These are the Shuddha-ashuddha tattvas. Thus coming under the veil of Maya and wearing the Panch kanchukas of Kalaa, Vidya, Raaga, Kaala and Niyati now Shiva has become Purusha, the Limited Being.<br />
<br />
Purusha is the ego which is connected to subjectivity. It has still some connection with Shiva; it has not yet entered the world of pure objectivity. You can say that these Pure-impure elements were the management level. Earlier Shuddha tattvas or the Pure Elements was the director level. Now comes the production level where Purusha and Prakriti are there. There Shiva and Shakti they were inseparable, here there is Purusha and Prakriti. Purusha responds to Prakriti and Prakriti takes charge of the creation. The first five elements are Shuddha elements, the next seven elements are Shuddha-ashuddha elements with veil of Maya with five Kanchukas which the Purusha wears.<br />
<br />
The phase of Impure Elements begins now. Now the creation enters into the actual objective world. From here Shiva through Prakriti tattva starts manifesting in the objective world. When you want to make something you have to know what are the ingredients required, what are the things that are required for the project. There comes the aspect of ashuddha tattvas, the 24 impure elements from where the objective world is created. It is the pure subjectivity which through this process is experiencing objectivity. Through Prakriti now Shiva has now started its further phase of creation. Here we will start from the lowest tattva. <br />
<br />
In the process of creation also you see it always comes this way. First the idea is conceived at, and then the plan becomes ready in mind. There you come from higher level. But when the actual manifestation has to happen you have to start collecting the ingredient which is the lowest phase off the ladder of creation. In these 36 rungs of ladder, the lowest rung is that of Earth element. Panch Mahabhutas or the Five Great Elements come on to the lowest five rungs. Panch mahabhuttas are the Earth, Prithvi tattva – that which gives rigidity or solidity. Then Jala, Water – that which gives fluidity, followed by Agni or Tejas tattva - Fire – which has two aspects, lower heat aspect and higher light aspect. Next is Vaayu tattva - the Air and last Akaash tattva - Ether or Space element. These are the Panch Mahabhutas. Why are they called as Panch Mahabhutas? We call this world as “Bhautik Jagat”. From these Panch Mahabhuttas this world is made up and that is why it is called “Bhautik Jagat”- manifested world. <br />
<br />
These Panch Mahabhuttas have association with Panch Tanmatras, the residence of the five sense perceptions. We can say Tanmatras are the abodes of sensations.<br />
<br />
Tanmatra associated with space or ether element is Shabd. Rather than going step by step into these things let us first have overall view of the whole thing. We have panch Jnanendriyas – the five sense organs of perception and Panch Karmendriyas – the five organs of action. Panch Gyanendriyas what do they do? Constantly the inputs are coming to them. They are sensing the inputs and these inputs have reflection in your consciousness and they are stored as psychic impressions in your memory. How does this process happen? The outer reflection of the Shabd tanmatra is in the ether, space and the inner reflection of that is in the ears. Gyanendriya which is associated with the shabd tanmatra is Shrotra or ear and the element which is associated with the shabd tanmatra is Aakash or ether. <br />
<br />
This way if you correlate you will understand the whole thing. Next is the air element, for air element Sparsh or the touch is the tanmatra because it is the movement of air which creates the sensation of touch. Air is the element, touch is the tanmatra and it is reflected in Gyanendriya or organ of cognition on Tvak or skin. Next is fire. Why are you able to see me or why am I able to see you? It is because of the light. If the light is not there we won’t be able to see. So the form which we see is because of the light. That is why Fire or Agni is the element, Roop is the tanmatra. The Form that you see is the tanmatra and with what you see, eyes or Chakshu is the Gyanendriya. Next element is Jala or Water. For water the tanmatra is Rasa or the taste and the Sense organ is tongue or Jnanendriya is Rasanaa. Many times we say that the food there is very tasty because the water there has a taste. It is different. So it is the water that gives the taste and that is why Rasnaa or the tongue is the Gyanendriya. This tongue is always kept wet by saliva. Whatever you eat if that does not melt into the saliva you will not be able to taste anything. Tongue does two jobs that is of speaking and second is of tasting. Last element is Prithvi - Earth, Ghrana or the nose is the Gyanendriya and Gandha or the smell is the tanmatra. When we say that there is a flower and the fragrance of flower is coming, actually what happens is that the molecules of that flower travel and reach the nose and only then can we smell. If you understand the correlation then you don’t have to remember the tanmatras and Gyanendriyas.<br />
<br />
Now we have this picture of Panch Mahabhuttas and Panch tanmatras and Panch Gyanendriyas. In between from lower side after five elements and the tanmatras come Panch Karmendriyas or the five Organs of Action. When you have the perception at the same time the action also has to be there otherwise if there is no movement in this world you will not be able to have different perceptions. There come the organs of action or Karmendriyas. These Panch Karmendriyas are Vak, Pani, Pada, Payu and Upastha. Vak or the tongue is the first karmendriya. Again Vak means Speech and is related to tongue. If you see further chapters there these things are explained that basically the five energies of Shiva – Chit Shakti, Ananda Shakti, Iccha Shakti, Gyan Shakti and Kriya Shakti, these five energies are percolating up to the lowest element Earth and they are creating this entire universe. For your own reference what you can do which I did and my understanding became complete, I made a table for all these things. Right from Akasha element to earth element write the associated tanmatras and in the first column you write the five shuddha shaktis - Chit Shakti, Ananda Shakti, Iccha Shakti, Gyan Shakti and Kriya Shakti. Then you will see how these are created from those five energies. These tables I will give you soon. <br />
<br />
The first karmendriya is Vak which is the tongue, Pani or hand which is the Organ of Giving, the job of hands is to give or Aadaan. Pada means leg and movement, vihar or moving around is the job done by legs, Payu is the Organ of Excretion. Upastha is the Sex organ and its job is procreation.<br />
<br />
Panch Mahabhutas, Panch tanmatras, Panch Karmendriyas and Panch Gyanendriyas make twenty tattvas. Now four more impure elements remain in which uppermost is Prakriti. Under Prakriti is the Ahankar tattva or the ego, under which is Buddhi tattva or the intellect and under that comes Manas or mind. and the twenty fifth tattva of Purusha goes above and comes under Pure-impure elements. If you start seeing from Ananda Shakti, all these are made up with the help of Gyan Shakti. Kashmir Shaivism is all about experiencing, it is not just about knowing intellectually. There is one more chapter in ‘The Secret Supreme’ which tells you that there are two types of Gyanas, one is Paurusha Gyan and other is Bauddha Gyan. Bauddha Gyan is the intellectual knowledge and Paurusha Gyan is the experiential knowledge, only experiential knowledge is not sufficient. With experiential knowledge you will be liberated - but after death! And what will happen is if you have the experiential knowledge and don’t have the understanding of it, the bauddha knowledge of it, slowly you will start forgetting and the knowledge will fade out. Unless you give the expression and tell others about it that knowledge will fade away and you won’t have anything to tell for the next generation and that is why always experiential knowledge has to be accompanied by the intellectual or the Bauddha knowledge. But only intellectual knowledge if you have that is not going to liberate you and will not serve any purpose. With that the ego becomes strong and you keep yourself away from actually experiencing all these things. That is why Kashmir Shaivism all the time stresses on the practices and the intellectual understanding of the experiences. Through practices you will be experiencing something and those experiences if you want to express to others you have to have proper terminology. <br />
<br />
When Kashmir Shaivism came in my hand I thought that in TAO too many programs have happened and through those programs we had so many experiences; but those were tit bit experiences, some experience here, some experience there but when the entire Jigsaw puzzle comes in front of you, you start understanding which is the missing link. This Kashmir Shaivism is the map which unfolds the entire jigsaw puzzle with each and every piece in it to understand.<br />
<br />
We were talking about Purusha, Prakriti, Buddhi, Ahamkar and Manas. Manas, Buddhi and Ahamkar together are called as antahkarana. ‘Karana’ in Sanskrit means organs and ‘antah’ means inner. These are the three inner organs. Manas does the job of Sankalpa nirmana, it is a thought creating factory, whether it is necessary or not. When I look there I think that this is the chart. Is it necessary to think that? No, but mind will go on doing its job ceaselessly; constantly it will go on creating thoughts. It is Manas which creates the thought so it predominantly contains Kriya Shakti and it is manifested from Gyan Shakti. This correlation you can find in the chapter on Matrikachakra in “The Secret Supreme”. So if you get the knowledge of how these thoughts are generated, then through that you can understand the Manas tattva. Manas constantly creates thoughts; but for taking any action these are referred to the higher agency of Buddhi tattva or intellect. For knowing what is right and what is wrong. There should be some agency which will tell you what is right and what is wrong for that the reference is buddhi, the intellect. The intellect tells you right or wrong, the discrimination aspect. Next comes the ego or Ahankar tattva. Purusha again is the ego but is associated with subjective consciousness; here Ahankar is also ego but associated with the objective world. Ego says I like this or I like that and these tags are put by the ego which is associated with the objective world. It also creates the separateness. I am different than others. Predominant Iccha Shakti when combined with Gyan Shakti creates ego. How does the ego work? “I want” to do this. It is your limited Iccha Shakti and that too in ashuddha tattvas from that comes the ego element, the Ahamkar tattva. If you have the knowledge or Gyan of that or understand how your will is trying to operate through you in limited way, then you understand the Ahankar tattva.<br />
<br />
Next up on the ladder is Prakriti tattva which is predominant Ananda Shakti. It is the natural state of object which is created but because of further things which add the impurities, in the process that nature is lossed and that is why Prakriti tattva is also known in English as nature. The nature of any being is to be happy, but here again in limited sense. If you understand that then you understand the Prakriti tattva which functions in the sphere of impure elements. On the higher twenty fifth rung of the ladder, next to Prakriti tattva comes the Purusha. Purusha and Prakriti they are together and inseparable. So there are 24 ashuddha tattva, Shuddha-ashuddha tattvas are seven – Purusha with the covering of five Kanchukas with one blanket of Maya. The five Kanchukas you do not have to mug up, just try to understand, it is the limited creativity which is Kalaa tattva, limited knowledge is Vidya tattva, limited attachment is Raaga tattva, limited time is Kaala tattwa and the final is the limitation of space, Niyati. Sarvakartutvam, Sarvagyanatvam, Purnattvam, Nityatvam and Sarvavyapakatvam, they are converted into limited aspects of kalaa, vidyaa, raaga, kaala and Niyati. These are the five Kanchukas and Purusha wearing these five Kanchukas and the blanket of Maya is the limited being. So when we start understanding, then we enter from Shuddha tattvas to Shuddha-ashuddha tattvas, experientially how do we start understanding these things? <br />
<br />
Experientially when you start feeling the limitation, like you say I am here but I could have been there. then when you start pondering over that, when you meditate upon that then you come to understand that it is the limitation which is being felt by the Jiva. I have the unlimited choice of being anywhere at any given time but because of the limitedness of space that I feel, I choose to go to one particular place at any given time. That is how Niyati functions. When we start understanding the limitedness of our being and accept it because as long as Shiva is operating through the body this limitedness is going to be there, when you understand this through practices or through inner understanding then you come to a point from where you can enter into the experiential aspect of Shuddha tattvas. If you keep struggling into the limitedness you will remain into Shuddha-ashuddha tattvas. That is what limitedness takes you to, the Shuddha-ashuddha tattvas. If you want to go to the Shuddha tattvas from there you have to accept this limitation and then go beyond. <br />
<br />
There are different practices, different upaya or means of realization like Anvopaaya, Shaktopaaya, Shambhavopaya, etc. Sambhavopaya is at Iccha Shakti levels, Shaktopaya is at Gyan Shakti levels and Anavopaya is at kriya Shakti level. when you start practicing all these things you start experiencing these aspects, your limitedness, you go beyond the veil of Maya and from there one experiences Shiva through these 35 elements, Shiva is the 36th element. So Param Shiva through these 36 elements became Jiva and now through the limitedness of the Jiva he is experiencing what it is to be limited and he again wants to go back and experience His real nature of unlimitedness. Again he goes up the rungs of ladder and climbing these thirty six rungs he again becomes Shiva. <br />
<br />
In Kashmir Shaivism there is description of descending paths and ascending paths. In Kashmir Shaivism this is known as adhvan. There are six paths through which this process can happen and these six paths are such that there three higher paths are from the angle of subjective consciousness, from Shiva’s angle, those are called as Vacakadhva path. Vacaka means the one who sees, who observes, who creates. Shiva is the one who observes, who creates, who sees and these are the paths seen from this angle. Vacya means that which can be read, which can be observed, so it is the objective world. This entire Trika Shaivism philosophy is based on Trika, the three. What are the three? They are the observer, the means of observing and that thing which is being observed, the object. The paths which are from the angle of observer are called vacakadhva path and the paths which are on the object side they are called as vacyadhva path. <br />
<br />
There are three vacyadhva paths one is called as bhuvanadhva, the path of worlds. Yogis in their meditation experienced that there are 118 worlds. That is - how we have our world, we have our solar system, we have our galaxy, the same way there are 118 such worlds. If one traverses these 118 worlds then one can reach the level of creator, the Shiva. That is one path which is called bhuvanadhva path which goes through the worlds. The second path is called as tattvadhva path. Through these 36 elements which are described above, from earth or Prithvi tattva to Shiva you can go in ascending order and you can experience the subjective consciousness. This is the path of tattvas which is called as tattvadhva path and the third path is kaladhva path. As I told you in the beginning, the creation happens in phases. Take for example the ashuddha tattvas or Shuddha-ashuddha tattvas you cannot go on experiencing one by one because they are all interconnected and their interplay is going on all the time. If you can understand the entire phase of creation of the ashuddha tattvas it will be easier. <br />
<br />
So came the subtlest of objective paths, kaladhva path which says that there are five enclosures in which these 36 elements are enclosed and the creation happened in those enclosures, in those kalas, in those phases. The last stage of creation is called as Nivritti kala. Nivriti is the word that tells you where the full stop is put and you come out of that activity. That is indicated by the word nivritti. So under nivritti kala comes only the earth element. When everything manifests completely and Shiva decides that it is time to put a full stop and come out or to become nivrita. So in the nivritti kala comes only earth element that is the grossest, so the experience of that can take you to the further higher subtler aspect of understanding. Next phase is called as Pratistha Kala. Pratistha means that which comes into manifestation or Pratishtha means to establish, the phase in which establishment happens is Pratishtha. In Pratistha kalaa 23 elements i.e. from water element to Prakriti come. That is where the gross manifestation happens. If you understand these you go beyond that. <br />
<br />
Next kalaa is vidya kalaa. Purusha, Panch Kanchukas and Maya they come under Vidya Kala, in this kalaa comes the knowledge which tells you how the creation in the objective world is going to be. If you want to understand the Shuddha-ashuddha element, together you can understand if you know this vidya enclosure, vidya kalaa. Next is Shanta kala. These are four Shuddha or pure elements except Shiva. Those are Shakti tattva, Sadaashiva, Ishvar and Shuddha Vidya, these four tattvas. The associated energies created by Shiva in which Shiva himself has expanded. those four they are not actually working. If you see in the whole creation these four energies are not actually participating, those energies are silently working and making the manifestation happen. If they start actually participating, then there will be no one to watch how the game is going on. These energies are passively involved in the creation. That kalaa is called as Shanta kala. Shanta Kala consists of Shakti tattva, Sadaashiva, Ishvar and Shuddha Vidya . e. Kriya Shakti, Gyan Shakti, Iccha Shakti and Ananda Shakti. <br />
<br />
Finally comes the innermost core, Shantatita kala, the one that is beyond Shanta also. It is the basis of the entire creation. it is the Chit Shakti or the Shiva element which comes in Shantatita Kalaa. If you go in phases like this, understanding the tattvas and their role in creation becomes easier. Amongst three Vacyadhva paths, bhuvanadhav is the grossest path. if your awareness has to travel through all the 118 world, how much time will it take to experience and understand and what level you must reach to for understand these things. Bhuvanaddhav is the grossest path, subtler than that is the path of elements, tattvadhva path. But still it is gross, it is about knowing each element, rather than that if you can understand the entire creation in phases, if you know the working of the enclosures, you can cross and go directly into the higher levels, kalaaddhva is still subtler path from which the Jiva can realize what Shiva is.<br />
<br />
If you start reading,you will see the Sanskrit words chosen for describing all these things are so beautiful and apt. if we start understanding the meaning of the Sanskrit words, then half the job is done. Then Kashmir Shaivism is not that difficult. Second thing is we have all experienced these things some time or the other through different workshops which are carried out by Sir here. That experiential knowledge is there in the background. So when this further knowledge of paths and malaas and upaayas comes, you can actually relate to those things because you have the experience. That is how this beautiful diamond which has come in our hand i.e. the diamond of Kashmir Shaivism, we all must go into the depth of it, into the vastness of it, Shiva is unlimited. Whatever one can experience one must experience and the Mastery is that the Shiva has come down to the level of Shiva so he goes on understanding and goes on ascending from the lowest element to the highest element, the Mastery lies in again coming down to the lowest element and your awareness is able to settle in any of these states. Are you comfortable in any of those states keeping your awareness. That is what Mastery is about. <br />
<br />
When we come here and start talking, have we really understood, are we able to communicate that to others, this we understand and we start going deeper into our own self. The swadhaya begins. Your own chapter opens up and through that you start understanding these things. When that happens i.e. when your own chapter opens and this understanding starts flowing out then it becomes your own understanding. Then you don’t have to search for the words, you don’t have to mug up the things, nor do you have to refer to anything and Kashmir Shaivism gives ‘n’ number of ways of understanding these things. States of Pramatri or the perceiver, the states of being, stages of Turya, Malaas, Upaayaas from every angle you can see. You come to know where exactly you are and where next you will go. Not only that, why it is called as Master’s scripture is that when one becomes the Master one has to help the disciple, while helping that disciple if you know what level Shiva is experiencing through that disciple it becomes easier to lift that disciple to the next level from where the journey becomes much faster. A beautiful diamond has come in our hands and we must make the best use of it, go to the depth of it.<br />
<br />
Dwarahat Shibir is waiting for all of us for beginning of practical aspect of it, when I read all this I knew why Lakshman Joo Maharaj is the last person to give this oral tradition. It is so difficult to understand. But that Master was so great that he compiled all this knowledge in English. Otherwise if this would have been in Sanskrit and I don’t think anyone of us would have been able to understand that. It was because of his disciple John Hughes who spent the prime time of his life with Maharaj ji and that too as early as when his first child was two years old, he went to Maharaj and he stayed with Maharaj. Then he compiled all these things in English. Because such great Masters had such great disciples and they had done such great work, all these things could reach to us in palatable form. This knowledge is so subtle that even if you read it in English also, you still feel that you are reading in Sanskrit. But through Master like Sir, we are getting it in a ready to serve manner. The knowledge if taken at the intellectual level is not graspable you have to go through the experiencing part of it and there the Master will put you into the situation where you will experience it. Such Masters unless they are there we will not be able to understand the scriptures even if it is put in the silver platter and gold platter and given to you, you will not be able to eat it unless there is someone to tell you how you can digest it.<br />
<br />
Thank you Sir, Thank you Lakshman Joo Maharaj and Thank you to all the earlier Masters who have given this way of scientific spirituality to us. It is a real scientific way of understanding. If A does this, this way and if B does this, or C does this the same way, let it be A, B or C or anybody as long as they do it in that scientific way, they will experience these things because it’s a proven science. Here in TAO we have always been following the path of scientific spirituality. This is the ultimate scripture of scientific spirituality which has come into our hand that will give proper understanding to all the budding Masters. Thanks to all of you, thanks to all the Masters. Om shri Guruye Namaha.<br />

Q. What are the vacakadhva paths.<br />
<br />
A: The explanation comes in the third Chapter of Matrikacakra. The path which is from the subjective consciousness side is Vacakadhva Path. We say that the vedas have come in which way ? The seers saw them first, then they came in the syllables, then the words were formed and then the mantras were formed and out of the mantras came the Richas and thus Vedas. vacakadhva path is exactly that. The subtlest of that is called as varnaadhva, verna means the syllables the alphabets, the next is padaadhva which is the path of words and next to that is mantraadhva is which is path of sentences. These are the subtler paths. To traverse on to that we need subtler knowledge of all other things that is why it is known as vacakadhva path. Matrikacakra chapter if you read these explanations have come that ‘a’ and ‘aa’ are Shiva and Shakti. We will do this chapter later on because if the power point presentation is given then the understanding will be much easier. <br />
<br />
Here I would like to share one experience that I had. In 2002 or 2003 when we used to have Shakti Sadhana at Solegaonkarji’s terrace. We used to have the regular Navratri sessions where all the nine days we used to have Tavariyaji’s excercises followed by meditation.That was Shakti sadhana. It used to be early in the morning. At sunrise time we used to be there on the terrace. Around that time the exercises were over and we were just breathing on twelve cycles rhythm of Tavariyaji. Suddenly I happened to open my eyes. I saw the rising Sun and I went on seeing because it was so beautiful and automatically after some time my eyes closed. That state was a beautiful meditative state. My eyes closed and in front of the closed eyes I saw the reflection of Sun on the inner screen and on that screen I saw the entire manifestation of Aum. How the Aum comes into existance and that is the secret of creation which I understood when I read matrikacakra, till then I was thinking that it is one bindu which split into two dots and the two dots started spreading. The entire description is there, how these different shaktis, the first shuddha elements, they are not created energies, they are called as swellings of the heat of Shiva. They are actually Shiva’s expansions only. How that happened, I have actually experienced through that Omkar. But I had not understood the meaning of it till I read matrikacakra. When I read matrikacakra I understood that. That is also one of the paths to understand the creation. It needs different kind of experiences and more of elaborated academic study of all the scriptures also.<br />
<br />
Q . How can one go about understanding experientially the Manas, Buddhi and Ahankar tattvas. Should one go in sequence or how should one proceed?<br />
<br />
A: these three together form antahkarana, three inner organs and that is why I told you about understanding in phases. Here also you have to understand three things together. As I told you Manas is the constant factory where the thoughts are manufactured, those thoughts when they go to Buddhi and refer to it, the good and the bad part of it and all, memory is created, the impressions, the word used in Kashmir Shaivism is not memory, it is impressions, impressions are stored and that makes the ego and when buddhi says do this or do that it is the discriminating intellect which gives the options that this is good action and this is bad action; but Ahamkar depending on the karmamala decides what is to be done in that particular moment or what the Ahankar thinks is right and wrong in that moment. If we start understanding first the working of mind, how these thoughts are created, then it becomes easier to proceed further. That is why practice of Chakrodaya and Ajapa gayatri is given in Kashmir Shaivism, if we start practicing that, we start seeing the thoughts. Otherwise the Manas element is the chaotic area where seeing it becomes difficult, where understanding it becomes difficult but if we start practicing Chakrodaya and ajapa gayatri and start getting into the sandhi aspect of it then we can go into the sandhi of thoughts as well from there we can see how buddhi and ahankar is connected to manas and understanding all three together this way will help you transcend it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="viadeoBlog">

</div></div>Prem Nirmalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08769929628662296212noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4744024568609425266.post-90620254461477770802010-09-17T10:09:00.000-07:002010-09-17T10:09:10.588-07:00Trika Shaivism: Malas and UpayasNamaste!<br />
<br />
Today we will discuss few basic aspects of Trika Shaivism also known as Kashmir Shaivism. First let us understand the meaning of the word “Trika”. The word comes from the three energies of Lord Shiva. The first energy is called Para Shakti; the second is Para-Apara Shakti and third is Apara Shakti. Para Shakti means the subjective energy. Para-Apara Shakti means the cognitive energy and the Apara Shakti means the objective energy. During the last talk on 30 States of Being we understood that a common man who is in Jagrut avastha is lost into objectivity and becomes one with the object and the subjective energy is just not there. That aspect represents Apara Shakti. It is pure objectivity. Gyani who is in absolute state of consciousness, fully aware represents Para Shakti, pure subjective energy and a seeker, a sadhak, on the way, who is walking the path of spirituality, sometimes getting glimpses and coming back to the world of objectivity, that is mixture of both Para-Apara Shakti and that is cognitive energy. So, you must understand three levels of energy of Lord Shiva - Para Shakti, Para-Apara Shakti and Apara Shakti, subjective energy, cognitive energy and objective energy. The word “Trika” means these three energies and these three energies are ONE only. It is Shiva only. That is the real meaning of the word “Trika”.<br />
<br />
In Apara Shakti that is objective energy, there is sadness, agony, there are troubles, there is experience of pleasure and pains, there is duality and the individual soul called Jiva is caught into the wheel of birth and death and that is why all the troubles are there at the level of Apara Shakti, objective energy. The root cause of this is ‘Mala’ – the impurity. The impurity of avidya which comes from the Mayiya mala makes the individual soul, Jivatma associated with sansara and it gets caught up in the circle of birth and death. That is the fundamental and basic trouble of the world. Lord Buddha said that there is Dukha in sansara, there is misery in life. The reason for this is that the person is caught up in the objectivity. That is the root cause of Dukha, the misery of the sansara.<br />
<br />
In Kashmir Shaivism it is said that you have to use the cognitive energy, the Para-Apara Shakti and move towards the Para Shakti, the subjective energy. If you reach the subjective energy by taking help of the cognitive energy, you can drop out of the wheel of birth and death, you can go beyond the Dukha, the misery of sansara and you can become Jeevan Mukta. This is the meaning of the Fundamental word “Trika” and the “Trika” system gives you the proper map of moving from the objective energy to subjective energy by using cognitive energy. All the great Masters of the world are in a way talking of the same thing but in different language that is why we do not understand. Why I love Kashmir Shaivism is because everything is so very clearly defined, it’s a proper shastra, a proper map where every individual is taken care of. In certain Master’s system only certain type of people are taken care of. In another Master’s system another type of people are taken care of, in Kashmir Shaivism everybody is taken care of. You will understand at what level you are, what type of person you are and what type of sadhana is required for you and accordingly you move faster.<br />
<br />
Your individual sadhana will depend on what your capacity is, at what level of awareness you are and that will decide what type of sadhana you should do and the beauty of our Indian Scriptures is that they start from the highest and then they come down. If you don’t understand then you come down. Patanjali also talks about Samadhi right in the beginning and if you don’t understand then you come down. If you are a capable person and if you are at that height, you need not come down.<br />
<br />
So in Kashmir Shaivism also, you start with Sambhavopaya. Sambhavopaya is for those people who have the highest level of awareness. Those whose awareness is high, they can go for Sambhavopaya, it is also known as Icchopaya because it is based on Iccha Shakti and in this Sambhavopaya you attain to God consciousness without doing anything. There are no efforts required. Only requirement is you should always remain into that thoughtless awareness of I consciousness, the universal I consciousness, in the “I am”- ness. If you remain into that the individual “I” consciousness, ego dissolves and with the Grace of the Master you attain to liberation or Jeevan Mukta State. Without you doing anything, it happens. Only requirement is that you are able to sustain that thoughtlessness and you should be into that awareness of I am ness, the universal consciousness and with the Grace of the Master, instant Jeevan Mukta state is available. <br />
<br />
In this upaya, Sambhavopaya, you really don’t have to work. Master has to work a lot. It is the Master’s Grace that liberates you. The last step, liberation happens as a Grace and that is true. In this body also the liberation happened because of the Guru’s Grace. That last thing you can’t do on your own because if you are the doer, the ego is there. The total annihilation of the ego happens only with the Master’s Grace. Guru kripa hi kevalam! If you don’t like the word Guru Kripa say Ishwara Kripa, say Grace of Lord Shiva, whatever you like, but it is Grace and not your individual doing. So at the level of Sambhavopaya you don’t work because whatever you can do you have already done, your level of awareness is high. You have learnt to sustain the thoughtlessness and you are aware of that thoughtlessness. First you are able to maintain your nirvichar stithi, the state of thoughtless mind, you are consistently able to maintain that and you are aware in that, for example in deep sleep state also you are thoughtless but there your awareness is not there. Here the requirement is you are able to maintain the thoughtlessness but you are also aware of that thoughtlessness. If that is possible for you then that is very high level of your ability. If you have that high degree of ability of maintaining that I consciousness then you are fit for Sambhavopaya. You need not do anything, only requirement is that you are there in the presence of the Master. In the presence of the Master Grace happens; instant liberation happens. That is called Sambhavopaya, the first type of upaya for the highest level of seeker.<br />
<br />
The second level of upaya for the medium category people is called Shaktopaya. It is based on Gyan Shakti that is why it is also known as Gyanopaya. Sambhavopaya is based on Iccha Shakti and Shaktopaya is based on Gyan Shakti. This is for the medium category people, those who are seekers, those who have done lot of sadhana and those who have not reached to the level of maintaining thoughtless awareness continuously but they are getting glimpses occasionally, those are the people at the level of Shaktopaya. A Shaktopaya criterion is one-pointedness. At least you are able to contemplate on thought given by Master and you are able to focus on to the gap between the two thoughts. That is the minimum requirement. If you can see the Gap between the two thoughts then you are at the level of Shaktopaya and that one pointedness of seeing the gap between the two thoughts is the requirement for the Shaktopaya. If you can do so, here your efforts are higher, Master cannot do because you have to learn with your own practice and come to a point where you can sustain your thoughtless state with awareness that is called thoughtless awareness. If you can sustain the thoughtless awareness then you have come to the level of Sambhavopaya, then Guru can work. Then Guru’s Grace can liberate you instantly. But you have to come to that. So, at the Shaktopaya level you have to learn to capture the gap between the two thoughts. If you can do so you will get into the transcendental consciousness or God consciousness with your practice of capturing the gap between the two thoughts. As you go deeper the gap will widen, over a period of time you will be able to sustain your thoughtless awareness. When you are able to sustain your thoughtless awareness, just with the presence of the Master you will be able to catch the flame and the liberation happens instantly. So Shaktopaya will lead you to Sambhavopaya. Liberation will happen only with Sambhavopaya.<br />
<br />
Those who are not able to get into that also then we have one more upaya called Anavopaya. Anavopaya is for the people who have no capacity to capture the gap between the two thoughts. They cannot see the thoughts. The aloof attention, sakshi bhava is not yet developed, so they cannot recognize the gap between the two thoughts. They cannot even see their thoughts because the separation has not happened. Lot of work needs to be done. This is also known as kriyopaya because it is based on kriya Shakti. Here lot of work needs to be done by the seeker because it is based on Kriya Shakti and here the Karma mala is very high, so you have to do lot of karmakshalan first. Then you will become little lighter and you will come to the level of Sakshi Bhava, aloof attention and all the practices whether it is watching the thoughts or watching the breath, inhalation and exhalation or mantra, or focusing your attention on some part of the body, specially the chakras, pranayam, all these practices are part of Anavopaya. It starts with Chakrodaya dhyana; you watch your inhalation and exhalation, take help of breath to increase your awareness, at least you come in the present moment as you do so and while doing as you grow into awareness you will be able to catch the turning point of the breath. If you can catch the turning point of the breath, sandhikal jagrukta, with lot of practice you will be able to capture the gap between the two thoughts. If you can do so you have come to the level of Shaktopaya. Then you have to get rooted into that gap and you have to practice how to sustain that thoughtless awareness. If you can sustain that thoughtless awareness you have come to the level of Sambhavopaya and in Sambhavopaya you have to do nothing. You have to just sustain that thoughtless awareness, in the presence of the Master, the flame jumps and instant Jeevan Mukti, the final jump happens. That is the Grace of Lord Shiva.<br />
<br />
These three upayas are there. Anavopaya is based on kriya Shakti, Shaktopaya is based on Gyan Shakti; Sambhavopaya is based on Iccha Shakti. So there are three Shakti levels and three upayas and depending upon what type of person you are; what is your ability of maintaining that thoughtless awareness, you should choose one of these upayas. If you are able to sustain thoughtless awareness you need not do any of the practices, that is the fundamental of Kashmir Shaivism. It comes from top and it goes to lower levels. So everybody need not work hard on doing Chakrodaya dhyana and all. You are already able to maintain your thoughtless awareness so there is no need to do Chakrodaya dhyana. You have crossed that level long back. If you are able to maintain your aloof attention then the basic processes is not necessary, mantra is not necessary. What will mantra do if you are already able to get into sandhikal jagrukta? Then mantra is not for you. Then don’t cling on to the mantra. Some people they do that. You have already crossed that level. You don’t need that. <br />
<br />
So, depending on what type of person you are, you get the sadhana and every person gets individual sadhana. That is why these three upayas are there and it comes from the top. If you are at Sambhavopaya level you don’t need, if you can’t manage then there is Shaktopaya level. If you have read the books of my Master Shri Dada Gavand, entire philosophy of Shri Dada Gavand is that of Shaktopaya and he does not move from there. He does not come down to Anavopaya at all. He simply talks of watching the thoughts with aloof attention, recognize the gap, go on doing that, increase the gap and it will happen. He does not come down to the level of breath also. There is no Anavopaya in his philosophy. There is only Shaktopaya, Shaktopaya and Shaktopaya. But that is for only one type of seeker and it is for this reason that most of my friends are not able to understand him. You may try hard but you will not understand his philosophy because he is operating only from Shaktopaya. Those who are at the level of Sambhavopaya, they don’t need to do that also. Just be in the presence of the Master and it happens instantly. You just have to be grateful, share the silence and say bye-bye. You may meet again or you may not meet again but the job is done. But the whole world, most of the people exist at the level of Anavopaya. That is why you have to start with watching the breath.<br />
<br />
I wonder if the people are at the level of Anavopaya because many people can’t even watch the breath. When they watch the breath for the first time, they say ‘Oh I am breathing’. Even breath awareness is a big thing for an ordinary person. Even with your breath awareness immediately you will come to the present moment. Power of Now, you will understand. You don’t understand the Power of Now also because that is breath awareness that is Anavopaya. All yogasan, pranayam, all that you are learning is Anavopaya only. Because you can’t practice Anavopaya you have to do yogasan. Yama, Niyama, asan, Pranayam is for those people who cannot practice Anavopaya. Ashtang yoga prepares you for that and makes you a sadhak. To become a sadhak you must do these basic practices of Yama, Niyama, asan, Pranayam, Pratyahar and then you are fit for Anavopaya. Quite a long way to go, but it is not as difficult as you understand.<br />
<br />
If you are initiated and you do what you have been told to do, you can go through the whole thing in 40 days. That is called Grace of Lord Shiva. If you practice what have been given in initiations, everybody is given different initiation; it is like magic for you. If you do that, even 40 days are enough. Otherwise even 40 births are not enough. That is the power of initiations. That is why in Dwarahat Shibir only those who are initiated are allowed. But what I am seeing right now is that those who are initiated are also not practicing it properly because sometimes the time is not there, or they have forgotten what they got in initiation because you are not supposed to write, you are supposed to practice daily. So those who have doubts, they can meet me today after the session and get it clarified… but do it. Only then you will walk the path. You have to be sincere about the sadhana.<br />
<br />
There is one more upaya if you don’t like these three, if you find them difficult, there is one more way and I like it most because there you have to do nothing. Watching your breath is difficult, when you are travelling in train and people are pushing, how can you watch your breath? Watching the breath is difficult. Anavopaya is difficult and lot of hard work is there. <br />
<br />
So the fourth type of upaya is called Anupaya. Anupaya means no upaya. You don’t need any upaya, my dear friend, because you are already Shiva. Whether you know it or not what difference does it make? Why do you want to do all these things? You do it to realize your Shivattva, that you are Shiva. But you are anyway Shiva. If Shiva wants to realize the Shivattva Shiva will realize. If Shiva does not want to realize Shivattva, Shiva will not realize. Why should you bother? Be happy. It is called Anandopaya and it is based on Anand Shakti of Lord Shiva. That is the higher level. Lower level is Kriya Shakti; that is the fifth element from the top; that is Anavopaya. Fourth element from top is Gyan Shakti; that is Shaktopaya. Third element from top is Iccha Shakti. That is Sambhavopaya. The second element, that is Shakti, in fact that is the bliss that is Anand Shakti. That is Shiva’s Shakti; that is Shiva only but that is in the form of Shakti but both are one. That is called Anand Shakti. Based on that Anand Shakti, it is Anandopaya. <br />
<br />
You stay in the state of bliss because you are Shiva. You don’t need to do anything. You need not go through Anavopaya and all that. It is not for you. You are much evolved beings. You have crossed the level of Iccha Shakti. Many of you don’t have Iccha of doing sadhana which means you have crossed that level. Shiva in you does not have any Iccha of doing any sadhana which means you have gone beyond that level also, that’s a level of bliss that is the level of Ananda, and you need Anandopaya which means doing nothing. Just enjoy your blissfulness, enjoy your beingness. In that beingness, there is joy, there is Ananda, there is bliss and that bliss is called Anandopaya. Swami Harish Madhukarji has said ‘Sada anand me jeena’ that is the ultimate sadhana. He is talking of Anupaya. People did not understand, with long face they listened. Where is Ananda here? If you are living life with a long face, you can’t even enjoy your job. Where is the Ananda? There is Dukha here, what Buddha talks about. Anand means enjoying all the time, there is no seriousness anywhere. There is only the bliss. In a state of being there is bliss and the example that I normally give is the example of Anupaya because I work a lot on Anupaya. The wave and the ocean are the same. What wave needs to do to become the ocean? Nothing! Wave only has to understand that the wave is the ocean. That is all. Have a cup of tea, enjoy, dance, sing and be happy. You don’t need to do anything really. Wave is the ocean. With that understanding live happily, enjoy your life like a normal person but you are rooted into turyatitta, you are a Gyani. You are at the level of turyatitta. Sarvatobhadra – everybody is Shiva. What do you need to do? Nothing! Recognize Shivattva in everybody and be happy. There is only Shiva and nothing else. That understanding keeps you in the bliss state and that is called Anandopaya. That is the ultimate that is possible where nothing is to be done. These are the basic four upayas in Trik Shaivism. We will do five minutes of meditation and allow this knowledge to seep into your system and be very sure which upaya you need and be honest about it so you start walking on the path.<br />
<br />
------------------------------------ After five minutes of meditation -----------------------------------<br />
<br />
Now we will go into the details of Malas. Mala means impurities. In Kashmir Shaivism we talk about three different types of impurities - Gross type of impurity, subtle type of impurity and the subtlest type of impurity, the Para type of impurity. The gross type of impurity (Sthula Mala) is karma mala. It is the grossest of all because action is involved. The subtle type of impurity is Maiya mala. It is only perception not the action and the subtlest type of impurity, the Para aspect comes into the picture is Anavamala. The individual jiva is anu, small. Shiva has come below the blanket of Maya and is wearing five jackets or Kanchukas, limitations. Because of all these limitations Shiva’s unlimitedness is lost and he has become small, jiva, anu. So the Anavomala is there, that is the subtlest of all.<br />
<br />
We need to understand the fundamentals of the malas, the impurities the essential aspects of it. Listen carefully. It looks very simple but if you understand from the higher level, you get the essence of it. The first five elements – Shiva, Shakti, Sadashiva Tattwa, Ishwara tattwa and Suddha-Vidya tattwa, these are called the five purest energies. These five purest energies could not create the world. The manifestation could not happen so Shiva used his Swatantra Shakti and with this Swatantra Shakti he created the magic power in the form of Maya Shakti so that he can come under the Maya and enjoy the diversity of being many different beings. Because Shiva wanted to enjoy the diversity of becoming Jiva, he had to play the trick, he has to use his Swatantra Shakti, create Maya Shakti and then come down under his own Maya Shakti to forget his infiniteness and become the Jiva. So the universal energy which is owned by the Universal being Shiva is called Swatantra Shakti and universal energy owned by individual being, Jiva is called Maya Shakti. Both are same only but that is the trick of Lord Shiva. He used the Swatantra Shakti and he created the magical power of Maya Shakti and then he came down under that Maya Shakti to become the Jiva.<br />
<br />
Now where are these Malas? The Malas are not there in the Swatantra Shakti. The malas or the impurities are there only in the Maya Shakti or elements below Maya Shakti. They are not there in the Swatantra Shakti. How do we differentiate between these two? The Swatantra Shakti has got the Swatantra, the freedom of going down from the Shiva element to Earth element and has got the freedom of going up from the Earth element to Shiva element. So Swatantra Shakti is free to be at any element and experience at all levels. It can go up and go down and is free to do whatever it wants to do. That is the power of Lord Shiva. Maya Shakti because of its impurities has the binding effect on Jiva. That binding effect on Jiva does not allow him to go up. So Jiva always remains under the effect of Maya, it goes down but not up. That is the magical power of Lord Shiva. And that is why for a baddhatma, for a Jiva it is so very difficult to breakthrough this Power of Maya because it does not allow you to go up. It only allows you to go down from where you are and that is how this Jiva is caught in this circle of birth and death. Until the Grace of Lord Shiva happens he cannot breakthrough the circle of birth and death on his own. It is only the Grace of Lord Shiva. So, on its own there is no possibility of getting the breakthrough.<br />
<br />
You may wonder why Shiva played this trick. There is a reason and that is the whole essence of the whole Kashmir Shaivism philosophy. Shiva played this trick to become Jiva and forgot its own essential nature, the Swatantra Shakti, his own universal beingness because he wanted to experience this joy of re-cognition of his own Swatantra Shakti. So, to experience that joy of recognizing one’s own Swatantra Shakti first he had to forget and then he had to recognize, so he enjoys. Shiva is Shiva only. It’s only for that joy of Re-cognition, realizing, re-knowing, it’s like knowing that you are Shiva; that was the joy Shiva wanted. That is why the whole game of sansara. First come down, forget, suffer as a Jiva, go into the circle of birth and death, do a lot of sadhana and then re-cognize that I am Shiva only. The game is over. It is leela, Shiva’s leela. Come down, forget, be a badhatma, be like a fool and do sadhana and re-cognize that you are Shiva and enjoy. Just for that re-cognition of that Shivattva Shiva played this trick. But to play this trick the element of Maya is wanted and the impurities belong to Maya and not to Swatantra Shakti. These impurities bind you and they do not allow you to go up, they allow you to go down only. <br />
<br />
So the grossest impurity is karma mala, the subtler impurity is Mayamala and the subtlest of all is called Anavamala. So we have to start understanding from Anavamala. Shiva used his Swatantra Shakti to create the trick and created Maya Shakti. First he created the Mahamaya. It does not come into the 36 elements but there is the element of Mahamaya. Mahamaya’s daughter is Maya that is the sixth element from top. Only under Maya he could create the limitations so the panch kanchukas come into the picture and under the effect of panch kanchukas comes Purusha. That Purusha with the help of Prakriti created the grosser twenty four elements or twenty three elements if you consider Prakriti as twenty fourth. This is how the manifestation happened. Without these impurities, manifestation cannot happen. <br />
<br />
How to understand this? You cannot make ornaments with pure gold. For gold to transform its form; to come to the form of ornament you need to inject some impurity into the gold and then you can make ornaments. Like that pure energy, Universal energy of Lord Shiva called Swatantra Shakti cannot manifest. Of course, it is the same energy that is manifesting but impurity is wanted and that impurity is injected at the level of Maya because it is the Maya Shakti that is able to come down. You can come down only under the effect of Maya, otherwise it is not possible. So the subtler aspect of Mala is Anavomala. How that anavomala has happened? It is because of the panch kanchukas, the five jackets that Shiva wears. After coming down below the blanket of Maya, Shiva puts on the five jackets. Those five jackets are limiting. <br />
<br />
We will go into the details of these elements next Thursday. Today you just understand the basics. So under one blanket (of Maya) there are five jackets. After these five jackets he created Purusha. So Shiva is converting itself into Purusha and that Purusha has all these limitations. Shiva has become small in the form of Purusha. Purusha is not virat, Purusha is small, it is called anu and that is why this Anavomala. Effect of Maya and the panch kanchukas is the mala. Now this mala is not real because it is not really at the level of action. Action level is only the karma mala, real mala, this is only the perception error. You believe that you are under the effect of Maya so it is there. If you believe that you are Shiva, you understand that the wave and ocean are one, immediately that is Shiva. It is only at the level of perception. With understanding you are released. Even if you are released, at the physical level you cannot have the infinite physical power, you cannot have infinite time, all those infinite energies are not available and even if you experience turya you will not be able to sustain turya because your capacity to sustain is lost as you have become anu, you have become small. So this Anavomala is the root cause that does not allow you to sustain that thoughtless awareness. The other day many of my friends were asking me that we have understood conceptually, I can see the thoughts, I can see the gap, the gap is there for sometime but suddenly we don’t know what happens, it is not sustained. You are talking about sustaining for 45 minutes here we cannot even sustain for one minute. Suddenly something happens and it is lost. Why is it happening and who is doing it? Don’t worry. It is only Shiva who is playing the trick, playing the trick under the effect of Maya through this Anavomala. Because you are anu, you find it difficult to sustain yourself in thoughtless awareness. That is the perception error that has come. It is the Anavomala that does not allow you to sustain your thoughtless awareness for 45 minutes. If you can, you will become Shiva and you will be out of the effect of Maya and that is the sadhana. That is the sadhana to come to the level of sustaining thoughtless awareness for longer duration. That is the sadhana the Jiva has to do to become Shiva. So this is the subtlest of all called Anavomala.<br />
<br />
The subtler aspect, the middle aspect is called Mayamala. Under the effect of Maya you cannot see the things the way they are. This is another perception error. It is because of this Mayamala you see yourself as different, your brother as different, your sister, your wife, your husband as different. You don’t see them as they are because all are Shiva, all are one. From where does that perception error come? That duality enters because of Maya. That is called Mayamala. It is an impurity, a mala. It is because of that impurity, that duality comes into picture, advaita is lost and dvaita comes into picture. For Dvaita Maya is required. Only under the effect of Maya you feel you are different and the other person is different and duality is there. Actually it is not there. This is called perception error. So what is the way to come out of this thing? Remove this perception error, see Shiva, God in everybody and you are out of it. That’s all. That is why so much of importance is given to this understanding, and then you really don’t need to do anything. It is just a perception error. It is like there is darkness and there is a rope. You think it is a snake and you fear. What do you need to do to protect yourself from the serpent that is not there? It is just a rope. This is called perception error. Under the effect of Maya you feel you are different and other person is different. It is just a perception error. You really don’t need to do anything. Moment we put on the light, you see that it is a rope, the fear is gone instantly and then you laugh at it saying like a fool I have been afraid of a rope. Actually it is a rope and not a serpent. It was just a perception error. This also is perception error and it has entered into our system because of what is known as Mayamala. It is the Mayamala which creates this perception error and creates the duality.<br />
<br />
Anavomala and Mayamala, Anavomala is the subtlest, Para and Mayamala is the subtler aspect of it and both are perception error. The real trouble which is the grosser aspect of Mala is Karma mala because action is involved. In the other two it is only the perception. Perception error can be corrected in the presence of the Master just by understanding. If you keep yourself awake and understand, then it is gone instantly. You really don’t need to work because it is not there. You just need the light, just get rid of the darkness and serpent becomes the rope. It is rope only, it is only the perception error, and you need the light to recognize that.<br />
<br />
But karma mala is not like that. Karma mala is actually the grosser aspects of your own doings. Once the Jiva comes under the effect of Maya, ego building happens and that ego has its own power, however anu, however small, it has its own doership and under that doership he does the karmas and karma mala is real at that level. It is gross. If you have killed somebody you have to undergo the effect of being killed. If you have hurt somebody you will have to necessarily undergo the effect of being hurt by others. Law of karma is amazingly true under the effect of Maya because the actions that you do are real. In Kashmir Shaivism we do not consider this sansara as unreal. This sansara is real, your action is real. So action, karma mala is also real and is at the grossest level that needs lot of cleansing. That is why karmakshalan is so very important. Without karmakshalan, in reality, tangible changes do not happen. <br />
<br />
Few years back, in 1996 I understood this without Kashmir Shaivism. Kashmir Shaivism came to me only in 2007 but in 1996 this understanding happened to me with the Grace of Lord Shiva and from then onwards I started creating the technology of Karmakshalan. This was the insight I got in 1996 that unless you remove the effects of karma mala the real growth of sadhaka cannot happen. That is why so many people do so many practices and they do not get the results. There are so many sanyasis who wear saffron robe and do their kriyas and prayers, why everybody does not get breakthrough? Why only few people get breakthrough? The reason is unless you go through karmakshalan, because it is a real impurity, gross level impurity, you have to unburden yourself of it. That is why these three sciences become important, the science of Seva, the science of Meditation and the science of Antahkarana. <br />
<br />
Science of Seva is at the level of Karma mala, it is the grossest of all, so at the grosser level you have to serve humanity unconditionally, that seva aspect, the unconditional seva, you go out of the way and help. The person may even talk ill about you and still unconditionally you serve humanity. That is the way you will delete your karma. Karmakshalan kriyas are there, sadhanas are there, talking out, and many other ways of karmakshalan are there. That is a must because it is actually there, it is real. Unless it is deleted that perception error cannot go that easily because you are actually caught up in grosser level of mala, the impurity; karma mala. That is the reason, even if you listen for hundred times that wave is the ocean, you may give lecture on wave is the ocean but still from inside it will not click. The perception error will remain because it is not intellectual. Karma mala is real because it is at the level of action. Of course from the ultimate view point it is not real, nothing is real that is vedantic point of view. But in Kashmir Shaivism if Shiva is real then Shiva’s creation which is sansara is also real and your karma is also real and your karma mala is also real and that is the reason why you cannot recognize Shiva without deleting your karma and this sounds more logical, more genuine, more closer to the truth as it is experienced. That is why karmakshalan is so very important. Once the karmakshalan happens and you are little out of this binding of karma, then be with the Master your perception error can go and the growth can happen very fast on the path of spiritual journey. Without karma delete exercise perception error cannot be removed. So science of service comes into picture to delete your karmas.<br />
<br />
Then science of meditation comes into picture. If you keep watching your thoughts, your thoughts will subside and you will be able to capture the gap between the two thoughts and when you get rooted into thoughtless awareness, that is the time you are out of the bindings of Mayamala. That is why Shri Dada Gavand’s Philosophy of Shaktopaya and that is the way to come out of Mayamala. And Anavomala, that anu, smallness aspect is there as long as you are there in physical body. Even if you are rooted in tattvatitta, even a Gyani has his own limitations because of the body. That is gone only at the time of death of the Gyani. When the Gyani dies that last limitation is gone, he becomes universal in the true sense but as long as the body is there, the bodily limitations exists even with the Gyani. For example a Gyani person like Shri Ramana Maharshi also will feel hungry. That hunger is felt by the body because that is the need of the body. Gyani will also go for urination or toilet because that is the function of the body and the body level limitations will remain but Gyani will not have unnecessary fears, he will not have unnecessary worry, undue thoughts, that aspect will not be there because the perception error is not there. But nevertheless the body is the anu, the binding aspect is there and only at the time of death it is gone, with this we complete the chapter of impurities - the Malas.<br />
<br />
Next Thursday we will go into the details of 36 elements, at every level we will understand from Earth element to Shiva element and from Shiva element to Earth element. Swatantra Shakti says that you should be able to go up and you should be able to come down and go to any level at your will. That is the beauty of Kashmir Shaivism and that is meant for grihasthis. Kashmir Shaivism is the ideal Map for grihasthis because anybody can practice. You don’t need to take sanyas, you don’t need to drop out, practices are very simple and you don’t need to give too much of time. It is more of practices and lot of understanding. You don’t have to slog and this map has simpler aspects, the limitation of caste, creed, color, gender, sex is just not there. It is universal and it is for everybody. Every human being can follow Kashmir Shaivism. It is for all. It is kind of Universal understanding, Universal religion, Universal practices. It is for all and absolutely for grihasthis because here sansara is real. If you say brahma satya jagat mithya then you feel like going away from jagat, going away from sansara and you take to saffron and become a Swami or sadhu or a sanyasi. There is something wrong in that understanding and it becomes right and correct understanding because of this very beautiful map of Kashmir Shaivism. Even sanyasis can practice, everybody can practice, it is for all.<br />
<br />
Kashmir Shaivism has four schools of thought even though all four are one only they are all under Kashmir Shaivism but the approach is little different, they are focusing on some particular aspect. The first school of thought is known as Pratyabhijna system or school of thought. Pratyabhijna system says that the world, the sansara is not unreal; it is not mithya even though Pratibimbavadah is there. There is a real moon and then there is the reflection of the moon in the lake water. The reflection is not the moon because the reflection is there it is indicative that the moon is also there. This is called Pratibimbavadah, but the reflection of the moon is in the lake water or you see your own reflection in the mirror, it is not in that sense. Here the understanding is, the reflection of the energy of Shiva is within the consciousness of Shiva only. The Sansara or the creation is not like the reflection of the moon in the lake water, it is the reflection in the consciousness of Shiva only that is why it is true and not mithya and they say that it is not the mirror; it is like the two cups reflecting, so reflection is within oneself. So Shiva’s energy is reflected into the consciousness of Shiva and this reflection is not untrue, the reflection is true. If Shiva is true, that Chaitanya tattwa, the truth is there and this is also the truth because the creation of Shiva cannot be untrue. So Brahma satya, jagat also satya. That is the major difference between the vedantic understanding and Kashmir Shaivism understanding because the reflection is in the cup form, it is called visarga (:), the two dots. The upper dot is called Shiva and the lower dot is called Shakti and the Shakti creates the sansara and the reflection happens in the consciousness of Shiva only. This system of understanding is called Pratyabhijna School of thoughts.<br />
<br />
The second aspect is called Krama school of thought. Krama means sequence, step by step, one by one. There is time, there is space, and there is form. You have to use time, space and form and you have to go systematically, kramawise, sequentially you have to go and you have to do sadhana for going out of this krama which means going beyond time, space and form. But this is a system because you are caught you have to start from where you are and then you have to go beyond. You are normally caught into time, space and form, you go beyond this the time becomes timeless, the space becomes spaceless and the form becomes formless and you get absorbed into that niraguna, nirakara, the ultimate God consciousness but you have to start from where you are. That is the krama system, a new way of looking at it.<br />
<br />
Then there is Kula system. Kula means individual family, there you have to recognize your individual energy that is the Jiva part of it and then you have to recognize the Universal energy that is the Shiva part of it. So you start from your Kula, your own individual energy, do sadhana and see from the Shiva’s point of view, the Universal energy, and you are absorbed into the God consciousness with that understanding. That is the Kula system, the third one.<br />
<br />
The fourth one is called the Spanda system. Ultimately you can come to the level of Devi, Shiv-Shakti aeikyarupeni that is where the experience is. That experience is the effervescent silence. That effervescent silence is not the dead void. That effervescent silence has the vibratory aspect where the vibrations are not there. This is little contradictory but it is so! If the vibrations are there it is not called spanda, it is called Spandana, that ‘na’ is negating the spanda, that Spandana is vibration. But before the vibration becomes the vibration what was there? Whatever that is that is called Spanda. Kinchit kalata is the first sutra of that school, about to vibrate. It has not as yet vibrated, it is about to vibrate, potentially vibrating, started vibrating. Where is your thought before it becomes the thought? So you have to go one step further. Like that what was there before the void, the dead silence? Before the dead silence there is effervescent silence, so you have to go deeper. That effervescent silence is the Shakti, bliss, Anandopaya comes from there. Experience of that is the experience of Spanda, Kinchit Kalata, about to vibrate, beautiful school of thought that is called spanda.<br />
<br />
These four schools of thought are there and all four focus on different aspects but they are very much the part of Kashmir Shaiva darshan. Same philosophy is looked from different angles by different Masters and that is the beauty. It is a very rich system. So Kashmir Shaivism has got all these four systems. In 2007 also I talked on Spandakarikas, this year we will cover up all. There are beautiful scriptures that are available. In December when you have 8 days residential retreat we will elaborate more on this, get little more glimpses from each school of thought and see overall how beautifully the Kashmir Shaivism flower blooms in your consciousness. Shiva recognizes Shiva and feels ecstatic! The whole game ends there. So if you want to end your game Kashmir Shaivism is the beautiful way. <br />
<br />
We stop here. Next Thursday we will discuss 36 elements. Thank you very much.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="viadeoBlog">

<br />
The topic of the evening is 32 states of being. This is in continuation with what we discussed last Saturday on 4th Sept 2010 in the lecture series on Kashmir Shaivism and this will be good preparation for our Dwarahat Shibir. We have decided to go to greater heights in understanding Kashmir Shaivism in Dwarahat. We need to understand few basics of Kashmir Shaivism to prepare ourselves for Dwarahat Shibir. This is the third topic in the series. The first topic was seven states of Turya; the second topic that we discussed last Saturday itself was different types of Kundalini awakening and today is the third topic ’32 States of Beings’. In Dwarahat our job will be to experience these states. That is why we need a residential retreat. Knowledge sharing can happen in lectures like this. But experiential understanding comes only through certain practices; that is why we need residential retreats. In Dwarahat Shibir we will try to arrange the practices of Kashmir Shaivism in such a way that you actually experience these 32 states of being. This is considered to be secret knowledge and one of the rarest of knowledge because not many people have idea about 32 states of being. So be very attentive and listen carefully, how these 32 states of beings are to be experienced.<br />
<br />
In general most of the scriptures are talking about five states of being; it is called individual subjective body that experiences various states. In Hindi it is called ‘Avasthaon ka Gyan” and it is supposed to be a very secret topic. So these basic fives states of being that we normally understand and we do experience also the common names for these states are the first is Jagrut avastha (wakeful state), second is swapna avastha (dream state), third is sushupti avastha (deep sleep state). Common man experiences only these three states. That is why the common man’s version beyond the three is the fourth; that is called Turya. In Sanskrit Turya means the fourth. So that is the fourth state of being and there is something beyond fourth that is turyatitta. So these are the basic five states of being – wakeful state, dreaming, deep sleep, Turya and turyatitta.<br />
<br />
Now we will go into greater details of understanding each of these states. Let’s go into the details of the first state, Jagrut avastha, the normal wakeful state. In the Pratyabhijna system of Kashmir Shaivism, Abhinav Gupta has given the name to the state as bahirvrutti because our attention is out, it is in the objectivity. Bahirvrutti is the indicators of this state. So when there is vividness of objectivity, we are caught up in the objective world in this state and the subjectivity is totally lost or ignored. So it is a complete objective state. Here the individual subjective body travels in the world of objectivity and it becomes the object and it ignores the subjective consciousness completely. That is the reason there are various names in Kashmir Shaivism we are going to discuss at a later stage. What we call as Jagrut avastha is “absolute unawareness of subjectivity” because you are completely in the objective world and you become one with the object. So Jagrut avastha and jagruk avastha are totally opposite of each other. In Jagrut avastha you are lost into objectivity, in jagruk avastha you know your conscious awareness. You are aware of your consciousness or you are conscious of your awareness. Whichever way you understand but you know your true self. There is awareness of your true self in Jagruk avastha. But the awareness of the true self is completely lost in Jagrut avastha. So what we say Jagrut is basically total unawareness of the real sense. That is the normal state, first state. <br />
<br />
The second state is Swapna avastha, dreaming state. Sankalpa nirmana is the name given by Abhinav Gupta. Here the vividness of the objectivity is shaky and unsteady because it comes and it goes. So the vividness of objectivity is there but it is not as steady as it is there in the normal wakeful state. It is very shaky and unsteady. In this state the individual subjective body travels in the cognitive world of samskaras and impressions. All the samskaras and impressions that are there they come forward in the dream state. All these impressions are of the objective world and again it becomes one with it and loses consciousness of the subjectivity all together. So here also the conscious awareness of the true self is not there, you are lost in the objectivity but here it is the cognition of the impressions but the subjectivity is not there. This is called the dream state.<br />
<br />
The third stage is sushupti, deep sleep and Abhinav Gupta’s word for this state is Pralayoupamam, if you understand in Kashmir Shaivism the word Pralayakal is used for sushupti where everything is lost, you are completely ignorant of the objective world. Everything of the objective world is lost. So Pralayopamam is a very beautiful word which indicates sushupti. Vividness of objectivity is gone completely because you are absolutely ignorant of the objective world in deep sleep. In this state the subjective individual body travels in subjective world without being conscious of that and becomes one with unconscious subjectivity. So the objectivity is not there, conscious awareness of subjectivity is not there. It’s a complete unconscious, unaware state of being. That is sushupti.<br />
<br />
The fourth state is Turya avastha. Super observation is found by some observing agency. That is the description which means somebody is observant, observation is there, aloof attention is there. Individual subjective body travels in absolute subjective consciousness and it becomes that subjective consciousness. This is exactly opposite of the first Jagrut avastha. In Jagrut avastha individual subjective body travels in the objective world and becomes one with the object. That is totally unaware state. In turya avastha individual subjective body travels in absolute subjective consciousness and it becomes that subjective consciousness which means it is fully aware state. You are totally aware and observant of everything that is happening around, which means you are aware of your subjectivity. That is called the fourth state. <br />
<br />
The fifth state is Turyatitta - beyond the fourth. Objective individuality is dead and is found full of life in totality. Individual objectivity is dead completely and fullness of life in totality is there. That is turyatitta. Individual subjective body established in the subjective consciousness completely, fully established not moving from there. In turya also it is there but it is still moving, while in turyatitta it is completely established in subjective consciousness hundred percent. That is called turyatitta avastha. <br />
<br />
These are the five basic avasthas – Jagrut avastha, swapna avastha. Sushupti avastha, turya avastha and turyatitta. These are the basic five states of being as discussed in Vedanta, as discussed in Kashmir Shaivism. Definitions vary a little but overall concept is the same everywhere because these are the five states in which your being can exist. All of us are experiencing this. First three are experienced by everybody. Those who are developed in sakshi bhava, aloof attention, they understand what turya is. When you go deep into meditation, in the state of non thinking, in the state of no-mind that is turyatitta, when you are firmly established in no-mind which is not that easy, is called turyatitta avastha.<br />
<br />
Beyond these five, the most secret knowledge starts from here. The basic five avasthas are known. But the real secret knowledge starts from the sixth state. There are many states created because of the various combinations of these five states. Now let us discuss how the four states of an individual that is jagrat, swapna, sushupti and turya are found in each of these four states. Each state is found in other four states. Leave aside turyatitta because that does not come into this, it is not even discussed as a state. It is beyond that. But these four states are available in each other and that creates a very beautiful combination of states of being. Let us get into details of each of these states in a very detailed and systematic manner.<br />
<br />
The first combination that we discussed is the jagrut-jagrut avastha, wakefulness in the world of wakefulness. In this state the state of complete objectivity is there which means absolute unawareness and the word used in Trik Shaivism is abuddhah, absolute unawareness. Nowhere close by to buddhahood, absolute abuddhah. That is total unawareness of your subjective self because you are absolutely lost in the objective world.<br />
<br />
The second interesting combination is in Jagrut-swapna which means dreaming in the state of wakefulness. You may not understand at the first glance of it but it is quite common. It is called day dreaming. Most of the people do day dreaming, lost in thoughts and impressions. A very strong thought possesses you and you are lost into that thought or you are fanaticizing or imagining something about the future or you are caught up into very special memory of the past, but you are lost. That is called Jagrut-swapna avastha. And the word of Trik Shaivism is Buddhah avastha. This Buddhah avastha you do not equate with Buddhahood in English. There is a big difference there. The original words of Kashmir Shaivism are very apt because that Buddhahood in English is not Buddha avastha. But why this is called Buddha avastha you will understand as we progress.<br />
<br />
The third interesting combination is Jagrut-Sushupti. You may wonder how that is possible but it is very much there. Deep sleep in the state of wakefulness, it looks contradictory but it is not so if you understand the meaning of Jagrut-sushupti. If you understand the meaning of the word Jagrut-sushupti it will not sound that contradictory. Here you are not aware of objective world, you are not aware of impressions and you are not aware of subjective self also. It means that this is the state of unawareness but as you move towards this you are moving closer towards the silence state. Even though you are not conscious of your true self but because you are not into the state of subjectivity, you are not into the state of objectivity it is definitely closer to your Buddhahood. You are inching towards your Buddhahood and it is the first state where the positive word is used called prabuddha. Prabuddha is not Buddhahood but you are closer to Buddhahood you are moving towards that because here at least the objectivity is not there, you are not caught up into objectivity; you are not caught up in impressions, sanskaras, memory. It means you are closer to yourself that is why this avastha is called as prabuddha avastha. Many public speakers use this word in Hindi ‘yeh prabuddha janata’. Literal meaning of that is a person who sleeps while listening to the lecture that is Jagrut-sushupti that is prabuddha. The literal meaning is quite interesting but that is the meaning of the word prabuddha. Anything where the word Buddha comes you think it is buddhahood, it is not. There are so many layers. You are approaching there but there are many junctions on the way before you reach Buddhahood. So prabuddha is definitely closer to Buddhahood. You are on the way but not very far off from the Buddhahood.<br />
<br />
The fourth interesting combination that comes in Jagrut avastha is Jagrut-turya. The fourth state is the state of wakefulness that is called Jagrut turya. Here individual subjective body travels in objective world and at the same time resides in self consciousness. It means you are aware of your true Self and you are also moving in the world of objects because you are Jagrut and in turya both. This is full of awareness state; the real aware person will stay into this state. That is why it is known as suprabuddha. It means that you are closer to Buddhahood. You are in the conscious world of objectivity and also conscious of your true Self. So you are suprabuddha in this state. So these are the first four combinations.<br />
<br />
Now we will discuss the combinations possible with swapna avastha. In swapna state, the state of dreaming when you travel only in the states of impressions, the four states of Jagrut, swapna, sushupti and turya are to be found. Swapna avastha is not only the dreams, actually when you are lost in your memory that is also swapna avastha. You are caught up in images, impressions that is also called swapna avastha. Madness is swapna avastha and intoxication also leads to swapna avastha. The person who is drunk, he is in the state of swapna. The whole thing looks like a dream to that person. So swapna avastha comes into all these categories. So, let us go into the details of it. <br />
<br />
The first combination consists of Swapna-Jagrut. It is a very interesting thing. Now you will understand day dreaming, astral travel and all these things. There is a very particular name for everything. Swapna-Jagrut means wakefulness in the world of dreaming. Many people ask how you can be wakeful in the state of dreaming. Either you are wakeful or you are dreaming. Those who are meditators, those who are astral travelers, those who understand lucid dreaming will understand very clearly that this possible. It is very much possible but here you have to understand the meaning from the Kashmir Shaivism point of view and not from common point of view. In Kashmir Shaivism Jagrut avastha means fully unconscious. Understand this. If you remember that you will have no problem in understanding further things. Jagrut means fully unaware state because in Jagrut avastha you are lost into objectivity. Here it is Swapna-Jagrut. Jagrut means you are lost, unaware and that unawareness is there in swapna avastha. Here the individual travels in the waves of impressions and objectivity. There is a wave of swapna that comes and it goes, again it comes and that is called in Trik Shaivism ii is called gatagatam, which means it comes and it goes. That is the state of Swapna-Jagrut. Dream comes, dream goes, little bit of awareness is there to the extent to know that gatagatam is happening. <br />
<br />
Second combination is Swapna-swapna, you are dreaming in the state of dreaming. In this state the individual travels in the waves of impression without the least awareness of their connections to one and another. What is dreaming in dreaming? You get a dream of a cat and then immediately there is tiger and there is dog and the awareness is just not there so you don’t understand also why this dog is converting in to tiger and the tiger is converting into lion and the lion will convert into the tree, even that awareness is not there. It means an absolutely unaware state you are dreaming in dreams. Here the consciousness is absolutely dispersed and the beautiful word for this dispersed consciousness is suvikshiptam. Vikshiptam means dispersed, higher degree of that is suvikshiptam, absolutely dispersed consciousness. Even the minimum awareness that this is happening is not there. That is called suvikshiptam.<br />
<br />
The third combination of swapna avastha is Swapna-sushupti, deep sleep in the state of dreaming. It is a beautiful combination, please be attentive to understand these things. Individual travels in the world of thoughts and impressions, naturally it is a swapna avastha so you are travelling into thoughts and impressions, becomes little aware of subjectivity on and off which means now you are slowly moving towards awareness but here awareness is on and off, sometimes it is there, sometimes it is not there. You are dreaming and then you are getting into the deep sleep, again you are dreaming and then getting into deep sleep and there is a little bit of awareness so that you know that this is happening and that you know in an indirect manner not in a direct manner. That is called sangatam. This beautiful word sangatam has come because here at least little touch of consciousness is there to the extent that you know. But this is also passive knowing, there is no full bloom consciousness of this but passively little bit touch of that consciousness has happened which gives you little bit of awareness that dreaming to deep sleep is happening, that recognition is there. It is indirect recognition, passive recognition, under current of the recognition is there.<br />
<br />
The fourth combination of swapna avastha is called Swapna-turya, the fourth state in the state of dreaming, the consciousness of dreaming that ends into Samadhi. Those who know lucid dreaming, those who know astral travel, if you are aware of your dream, when you are dreaming you are conscious of your dreams and you are conscious of your dream ending means you are entering into sleep with conscious awareness and the sleep with conscious awareness is Samadhi. That is why entering into sleep state with awareness is the best experiment one can do which will lead to ultimate state of Samadhi. Here you are conscious of your dreaming and you are conscious of when your dream ends, when your dream ends you are into deep sleep but you are conscious which means it is a Samadhi state and you get touch of Samadhi but it is on and off, that does not last long. Then from there onwards you go into sushupti. But because the awareness is there the beautiful word of Kashmir Shaivism here is susamahitam. Here you are full of awareness but that awareness is not sustained awareness.<br />
<br />
The next stage is various combinations in sushupti avastha. <br />
<br />
The first combination in sushupti avastha is sushupti-jagrut, wakefulness in the state of deep sleep. Again this sounds contradictory but it is not so, try to understand. In sushupti-jagrut avastha you lose all impressions and thoughts and remain in absolute void called shunya avastha. Here you are not aware and you do not taste the joy which means bliss is not there. But here you are not into the state of objectivity, you are in the void, you are in shunya avastha and when you are in shunya avastha at that time you don’t know about it. When you are in deep sleep you are fully ignorant of the sleep, only when you wake up then you can talk about that state, that I was asleep and I observed nothing but this statement you make when you wake up from the sleep, you cannot make this statement when you are in deep sleep because you are in the void state, shunya avastha, and you are absolutely ignorant. That is called sushupti-jagrut. You are not jarut in sushupti. Only when you wake up you talk about it. In Jagrut avastha you are talking about sushupti that you did not notice anything. In Trika Shaivism the beautiful word given to this state is Uditam which means full of rising. It means now you are becoming aware and you start rising towards Shiva, the ultimate state. The very fact that you know you are not aware, is a good beginning of rising. But this awareness is there only when you wake up and not when you are asleep and it is called Uditam. You have now started waking up to the fact that you are unaware. That is a good beginning and that is why it is called Uditam. <br />
<br />
The second combination in sushupti is called sushupti-swapna avastha, dreaming in the state of deep sleep. While in sushupti there is absolutely no awareness but in this state there is some cognition of some impression remaining in that subjectivity. Even though the impressions are there, the cognition of the impression is also there, it means little bit of awareness is there though not much and you know that it is there. That is called sushupti-swapna. In the previous state there was absolute unawareness, here there is little more awareness in sushupti, only because it is sushupti-swapna, because you are becoming aware occasionally, little bit of awareness is there. Some conscious awareness in the background, passive awareness tells you that you are in the state of sleep or you are in the state of dreaming if at all there is an impression. That state is labeled as vipulam and this is the most nourishing state. You get nourished. Awareness that you are travelling in the world of subjective consciousness gradually becomes stronger and stronger. You are nourishing your awareness in this state. That is why it is known as vipulam. It means now deeper level of awareness is possible to grow, it is possible to make it stronger from here onwards that is why it is known as vipulam, nourishing your awareness.<br />
<br />
The third combination is sushupti-sushupti, deep sleep in the state of deep sleep. If you understand these combinations, as you go further your awareness increases. Here very subtle awareness or passive awareness, that this is a world of subjective consciousness remains in the background in uninterrupted continuity. You are in deep sleep but some passive awareness tells you that you are in deep sleep but there are no impressions, there is no mind in that state. It means that the ripples in the field are gone completely and this is what we normally call as deep peaceful sleep where agitation is just not there. This state is known as shantam which means peaceful because objective world is not there, impressions are not there, and thoughts are not there. It means there is nothing which is disturbing the field of pure potential, of pure awareness but here awareness is not aware of itself but it is undisturbed that is why it is known as shantam, peaceful sleep. It is called sushupti-sushupti.<br />
<br />
The fourth is sushupti-turya. This is a very beautiful combination. The fourth state in the state of deep sleep; here individual subjective body is travelling in subjective consciousness. The objectivity is lost in any case. In deep sleep the objectivity is just not there but the subjective consciousness has arisen now and you are travelling in the world of subjective consciousness. Objectivity is lost completely but subjectivity has awakened that is what that sushupti turya avastha is. Turya means that awakened state is there. Here you are travelling into subjective consciousness, you are aware of that in continuation in background and experience bliss of the state. In earlier level the bliss was not there only passive awareness was there, now conscious awareness is there, active awareness is there and that is why the bliss is there. This state sushupti-turya state is full of bliss. It means that you are fully aware of your deep sleep, in true sense this is Samadhi avastha and it is full of bliss that is why it is known as suprasannam. It’s a state of bliss. You actually experience the state of bliss in sushupti turya, because it is sushupti the objectivity is completely gone. Because it is sushupti turya, you are fully in the state of subjectivity and because you are fully aware that is why you experience the bliss and this bliss is the bliss of Samadhi. So sushupti turya is full of bliss but not fully aware of that bliss. That is the only difference, in the higher levels you become aware of that bliss. At this level you are full of bliss but you are not fully aware of that bliss. Awareness is there that is why the bliss comes but you are not fully aware of that bliss which you are enjoying because it is still sushupti. It is a very beautiful combination.<br />
<br />
The best of the three are these – turya-jagrut, turya-swapna, turya-sushupti. There is a very interesting combination of what is possible and what is not possible. <br />
<br />
The first in the last three is turya-jagrut. Consciousness of turya is not vividly manifested. Turya is there but Jagrut means unawareness which means consciousness of turya is not vividly manifested. Here the consciousness of turya is in subconscious state which means not developed yet, not conscious yet but it is there at the level of sub consciousness. So beyond the span of the mind that is there and the Sanskrit word for that is manonmanam. Turya-jagrut is beyond the state of mind but in that beyond you are not fully conscious because that has not still manifested but you are not in the mind. It is moving towards beyond the mind but not fully conscious of it. You are unconscious of it. That is the turya-jagrut avastha. The mind has taken rise in mindlessness but the awareness of that is not there. Mindlessness is there because it is turya but it is Jagrut which means unaware of that. So the mind has risen to mindlessness but you are not fully conscious of it. That is turya-jagrut.<br />
<br />
Second combination is turya-swapna avastha. Consciousness of turya is little more vividly manifested. So in this state the consciousness of turya is stronger compared to the previous state. Here unlimitedness of the self is there that is why it is known as anantam because you have started experiencing the un-limitedness aspect but it is not very strong, it is milder version of that, so this is the state of unlimited being. <br />
<br />
The third combination in turya avastha is turya-sushupti. Here the consciousness of turya is most vividly manifested and consciousness of turya is strongest in this state, Un-limitedness of the self. But still even though you are unlimited yet there exist here all the limitations of the universe. It is not a totally unlimited state even though unlimited of self but the limitations of the existence are felt as existing and the word given to this is sarvartham. It is a beautiful state but you can’t say that it is ultimate. Limitations are still there and you have to cross these limitations also and there is a much deeper aspect of this.<br />
<br />
When you go beyond four there is what you call turyatitta. The turya-turya combination is not there, it is turyatitta, beyond the four. This is the state of absolute fullness of self. Here that conscious awareness is not at all shaky. Here you are absolutely established into that awareness, fully established, that is turyatitta. You find this state not only in Samadhi but also in every activity of the world. If you find that peace only in Samadhi, only when meditating but it is lost when you come out of meditation, then that is not turyatitta. If you are fully established, your state of meditation, your state of full awareness is not lost when you come out in the active world, it means that you can do your normal activity and your full subjectivity is there. It means that you are fully established into that conscious awareness, that is turyatitta and that is the aim. Fully established into that and that subjectivity is not lost as you are doing the normal duty in outside world. This is definitely much better state one can aim at. This should be the aim - turyatitta. That state is just not lost whatever you may do. Now if you have reached this state there is no need to do yoga, because yoga has some future, future in the sense there is some ambition, there is some achievement, you want to achieve something. The state of yoga come from yuja, joining, but here it is already joined so now yoga does not come into picture. Here you don’t have to sit for meditation, what are you going to gain by sitting for meditation and what is that you have lost? You are already established into that. So now yoga, meditation and all that loses its significance, beyond this state and not before that. To go beyond this state you all have to get into all these things. This is the state what Masters say ‘nowhere to go, nothing to achieve’ because you are already that, what you are and you are fully into that so that there is nowhere to go, there is nothing to achieve that is turyatitta. Fully established in the Self and that is not lost even when you do your normal mundane activity. Turyatitta is a wonderful state. <br />
<br />
We will now understand five different states as perceived first by common man and second as perceived by yogi and third as perceived by Gyani. See how these three different level people perceive the same state in three different manners. There is a very beautiful understanding of Trika Shaivism. This very understanding can put you in the state of understanding of where you are stuck, at which level you are and where you need to go further. Everybody goes to a level and then you don’t know what is the further level and then your progress does not happen. If you know what is there ahead, you move faster. That is why this understanding is very important.<br />
<br />
Common man says Jagrut avastha but Gyani says it is ajagrut avastha. See how the meaning of word changes. There are layers of understanding. What a common man calls Jagrut, a yogi will say pindastha which means becoming one with whatever you perceive. You are in the objective world and you are absolutely ignorant of your subjective reality, you are one with the object. But then Gyani will understand it differently. Gyani is the one who is established in turyatitta. It means that his Samadhi is not lost when he does his mundane activity in the world. From Gyani’s point of view it is sarvatobhadra. Bhadra means goodness, auspiciousness, sarvato means everywhere. Gyani perceives everybody as Shiva, ajagrut Shiva but nevertheless they are Shiva. Sarvatobhadra, everywhere there is only auspiciousness, everywhere there is divine, so Gyani sees that divinity everywhere. Common man may not understand but from the view point of Gyani, common man is full of divinity even though he is unaware of that divinity because he is in Jagrut avastha and Gyani is in turyatitta avastha. From that avastha if you look at Jagrut avastha, it looks full of divinity because that is the truth, even though the common man is unaware of that but the Gyani knows that everybody is Shiva. That is why this beautiful word Sarvatobhadra. You see divinity everywhere! In this state, Gyani feels that the being of Shiva has expanded his body of consciousness in names, forms, space and times. For a Gyani even a stone is full of divinity, tree is full of divinity, birds are full of divinity, animals are full of Divinity, Sarvatobhadra - everything is full of divine, there is only Shiva. There is divine auspiciousness everywhere. Everything is divine that is Sarvotobhadra. So what we say Jagrut, yogi says pindastha, Gyani says Sarvatobhadra. See how the meaning changes as your state changes, your understanding changes, and meaning of the state changes to such a great extent. Gyani travels in absolute consciousness and that consciousness is not lost when he does the normal activities. That is the beauty of the turyatitta states.<br />
<br />
Now let us understand Swapna avastha from three different angles. What a common man says as dreams, yogi looks at it in a different manner. It is not just dreaming. Here you are established where you are. When you are dreaming you are established in dreaming and at that time you don’t know, only when you wake up you know that you had a dream. In dream you are lost in it means that you are established in the dream. From the view point of understanding by a yogi the beautiful word for that is padastha, you are established there. But the swapna avastha if you see from the view point of Gyani, all objects of dreams are existing in their own self, the self is much bigger, all the other objects of the dream that you see are existing in the beyond, in the true self, it is called Vyapti from the Gyani’s point of view the dream state is a state of Vyapti because all the thoughts and impressions and objects that you get in the dream is also Shiva, only that is true self. So everywhere it is there. It is Sarva-vyapta; that is why Vyapti word is used. It is in the Self only and Self is not affected by the dream, by the objects of the dream, the impressions and all, that Vyapti is very much there. A person who is established in turyatitta does not get dreams (the way a common gats dream, but if at all he gets dream, he understands that it is in his Self), please understand that, but this is the view point of Gyani for the dream, so it Vyapti only.<br />
<br />
Sushupti state from the point of view of a common man is deep sleep. Pralayopamam. This definition is very beautiful, everything is lost, you have forgotten your name, your relatives, your bank balance, there is no objectivity whatsoever. Everything of the objective world is lost, you get into Shunya, void. You have lost subjectivity also because in the deep sleep you don’t remember your subjectivity. That is common man’s understanding. So there is no objectivity, no impressions because you are not even dreaming. In the dream world the impressions are there, in sushupti there are no impressions. There is only absolute silence, it is called Tasnimbhava. It is a nourishing state where you are in deep sleep where there are no impressions and there is no cognition whatsoever of the objective world and that is why you feel so fresh when you have deep sleep. It is nourishing. Your being is rejuvenated that is why sleeping is so very important. If you do not get deep sleep you will not feel rejuvenated next day morning. But when you get proper deep sleep where no disturbances are there, it is a very nourishing state and that nourishment is wanted. That is why it is called Tasnimbhava, the nourishing state. But this is common man’s understanding.<br />
<br />
Yogi understands sushupti avastha at a different level. Here you are established in one’s own self or consciousness because you are not into the objective world; you are not into impressions which means Self is established in itself even though the Self is not aware of itself but the Self is established in itself because you are not into the objective world, you are not into impressions, that is why the word used is roopastha, You are established into that, in your swaroopa. So you are established in to the Self in sushupti avastha from the yogi’s angle. It is called roopastha, established into one’s own form. <br />
<br />
But a Gyani will look at it in a different manner. Gyani looks at sushupti as Mahavyapti. The earlier word was Vyapti; here it is Mahavyapti – the great pervasion. No limitation of objectivity or impression is there. Gyani is fully aware in that state and the limitation comes because of objectivity or impression. Objectivity means normal Jagrut avastha, outside world, impressions mean the swapna avastha from where the impressions arise. Here because there is no Jagrut avastha, no swapna avastha, only sushupti but fully aware which means Mahavyapti. The Self is pervading everywhere. What a wonderful way of looking at sushupti. But that is how Gyani looks at sushupti – Mahavyapti, Self pervading state, the Self is pervading everywhere without any limitation of objectivity or impressions. This Mahavyapti is also Mahasamadhi. Fully established into that, absolutely no ripples but fully conscious of that state. So Gyani’s sleep is Mahasamadhi. There is absolutely no objectivity or impressions. There are no ripples in that field but the field is filled of fully conscious awareness. That is Mahavyapti, we should aim at that. These are the states worth praising; all other states are on the way, not getting stuck at any of these states but going to the ultimate that should be the end, that is why we are discussing this in different ways.<br />
<br />
In Dwarahat Shibir we will understand proper methodology of getting into these states and practicing it. This is the understanding part. The real thing is practicing certain spiritual practices and meditation techniques of Kashmir Shaivism, getting into that and knowing first hand, that this is so. With the aura workshop, astral travel workshop, lucid dreaming and all, most of you have now understood and many of these states you have already experienced. But there is a methodology by which in one day’s time you can experience all these, it is not that you need a very long time. Only you have to understand the methodology of experiencing these things with conscious awareness. There are processes for that, there are meditational techniques for that; do those things and immediately you will have experiences. There are many people who sleep with open eyes during the lecture. When they close the eyes only then I come to know that they are sleeping. Some people they sleep with open eyes, they are in Jagrut sushupti avastha. Some students are expert in that. Their eyes are open but devoid of objectivity, eyes are open but no subjectivity. So you see, you do have experience of these things, not that I am talking something imaginary! Many of you have experienced during lectures these states. If the lecture becomes too heavy you get into one more state, it is called sushupti-sushupti. But if you are listening with meditative awareness, you get into turya-sushupti. Various combination of turya is possible right during the lecture. You get into all these states right in front of me! <br />
<br />
In Dwarahat shibir we are going to practice this. Discussing part I am doing here because we need projector. For right understanding, you need repetition also. I have just talked about it once and I don’t expect you to register all these. If you register all this then you are Gyani, then you don’t need it. But you know that there are various combinations possible. In this field repetition is a must. When you keep on repeating you keep going deeper and deeper. But when you understand experientially everything is realized. That is why meditational practices are wanted. Information sharing to certain extent is good, not much of that is wanted. It has to be combined with the meditational practices so that you experience these states. Once you have that experiential understanding, your job is done. So we have to go through this experiential understanding of these 32 states of being. If you have understood these 32 states of being experientially your job is done. This is the reason, why we need residential retreats. In our 8 day retreat we are going to experience 36 elements and 32 states of being. If you experience these it means that you are in Gyani state. If you experience and understand all these things then it is the ultimate that is possible. Then you can go up to the level of Shiva, from earth element to Shiva, all the 36 elements you can travel but that is not considered to be an expertise in Kashmir Shaivism. In Kashmir Shaivism they say that the expertise is when you come down from Shiva to earth element and you do normal activity like an absolutely ordinary person but you have not lost that state. That is called expertise! You can go up and you can come down or you can go to any of the levels and you are still the same person and nothing is lost. That is called fully established into turyatitta and it remains even when you do your normal activity like an ordinary person. That is the Mastery in Kashmir Shaivism. Going up is one aspect but coming down is another aspect and more difficult aspect. <br />
<br />
We have lot of glamorization going on in the name of meditational experiences. They say that person gets into a trance state; according to Kashmir Shaivism he is not mature that is why he is getting lost in the trance state. In Kashmir Shaivism mature state is going to the Shiva level and you are fully conscious and you come down like an average person, doing your normal activity and still you are into that, you are not lost into trance state. The bliss is there and you carry the bliss as you do your normal activity. That is called Mastery. Getting lost into trance state, not able to recognize people because you are into that subjective reality is kaccha-pucca! It means that you have not properly understood. If you have understood it properly and if you have practiced it properly then you can go from Earth to Shiva element and you can come down from Shiva to Earth element and nothing is lost. That is the beauty of Kashmir Shaivism! <br />
<br />
36 elements and 32 states of being, all these things are to be experienced from within that is why Dwarahat shibir is going to be a landmark in our growth and understanding because experiencing all this is what we are going to do. All this preparation is going to be necessary for that and those who are going to miss Dwarahat Shibir, for them we have planned eight days residential Shibir on Kashmir Shaivism during December end. All these explanations will be given and then practices will be there. Everybody will be able to come to that highest level, the level from where you cannot fall back. From the level of Turya you can fall back but from level of turyatitta you cannot fall back. Everybody has to go to the level of Gyani. Yogi can fall back, Gyani cannot fall back. If somebody falls back, he is not considered as Gyani. Gyani is fully established in “Awareness and Understanding” that is never lost. Falling back is impossible. That is state of attainment otherwise you get a glimpse and you come down again, you get a glimpse and you come down, you can’t carry that as you are working. It is about absolute awareness of the Self, even for some of you breath awareness is difficult to maintain when you are working. When you are meditating you can have your breath awareness, if you are regular meditator, otherwise even that is difficult. But you can start with that. As you are working, as you are talking, as you are listening doing your normal routine work become aware of your breath, that will be the beginning of that. These are not just theoretical states, these are all practical states, it is possible to live life like that and there is no end to that. You can go much deeper in each state. That is what we are aiming at.<br />
<br />
Let’s understand the fourth state, the Turya state from the view point of common man. Common does not understand anything more than Jagrut, swapna and sushupti. That is why the word itself is the fourth. What is that? The word turya has come from the view point of common man. It is something more than what one does not know that is why the Fourth. But the Yogi uses the word Roopatita. The meaning of the word Rooptita is – as this state has crossed the touch of oneself and is establishment of one’s own Self. Sushupti is Roopastha, established in one Self but there is a touch of that thing. Here it is Roopatita, it is beyond that. It means that your self is really established, that is what turya is. But Gyani will understand Turyatitta from different angle. Prachaya is the word used by Gyani which means multitude. Entire universal existence is found collectively as undifferentiated in the state of totality. This is the way turya is understood from the view point of Gyani. All undifferentiated energy is one only; that is what Prachaya is about. Diversity, multitude is all one. All different types of energies gain power from this state. Even though different energies manifest in different manner but they are one. That multitude is there but because they gain their power, the real power, the essence comes from there only, that is Shakti of Shiva only and Shiva is all pervading that is called Prachaya, the multitude. This is the understanding of a Gyani. <br />
<br />
Penetration of all energies simultaneously, not in succession (i.e. one by one) but simultaneously that is what turya avastha is - Penetration of all the energies happening simultaneously. They are all together without distinction because all the distinction disappears in turya avastha. It is an un-manifested field without any ripple of objectivity, without any ripple of impression, so all becomes one! There is another view point also to look at the same thing it is called savyapara. It is the energy aspect what we discussed. All energies get their power to function in turya that is why from Gyani’s point of view it is also known as Savyapara because all the energies get power from that. There is one more way of looking at the same thing from the Gyani’s point of view. This is un-manifested and un-agitated field of consciousness, there is no objectivity and there are no ripples, it’s an absolutely un-agitated field of energies. The multitude of energies become one and absolutely un-agitated, one more beautiful word from the Gyani’s point of view is anamaya – un-agitated field, pure field, full of consciousness, full of bliss but no objectivity, no impression, that is that beautiful field. This is way Gyani will look at Turya avastha.<br />
<br />
We need to discuss one more thing that is turyatitta. From the common man’s point of view turyatitta it is beyond the Fourth. There is no understanding that is why the words have come like that. Even the fourth is not understood so turyatitta is something which is not understood and is beyond the fourth. Instead of calling it as fifth it is said beyond Fourth. That is turyatitta as per common man’s understanding. Yogi does not understand and if he starts understanding then he becomes a Gyani! So there is no word for turyatitta by Yogi. But Yogis have knowledge. They know that something is possible through their intellectual understanding and inference or using the power of imagination or using the power of language that something more can be described or through guesswork, they have given a name which is none of their experience but still they have given the name – satatoditam. It means the state which has no pause, no breaks. It is like a stream of oil which is different from that of the water. It means that continuity of the state is there. It means that the Yogi is doing some guesswork, imagining. One gets the glimpses at the level of Yogi but if somebody is all the time there that is satatoditam. It is not the experience of the Yogi, if Yogi gets the experience the yogi becomes Gyani.<br />
<br />
From Gyani’s view point if turya is known as Prachaya, turyatitta is known as Mahaprachaya. It means unlimited and unexplainable supreme totality. It is unlimited, it is unexplainable but it is multitude which means Supreme totality, everything is there into that. That is called Mahaprachaya. Turyatitta avastha from where the Gyani is, from his point of view it is Mahaprachaya – total unexplainable reality, every multitude is there, everything is included, everything is Shiva only, that understanding is called Mahaprachaya. That is the ultimate that is possible.<br />
<br />
By now you would have understood that Yogi sees from objective point of view while Gyani sees from Subjective point of view! That is why so many different words to describe similar states but as it is seen from different point of view, they are considered as different states.<br />
<br />
Who is a Master? - One who has actually experienced these states and through one’s own experiential understanding, who has the capacity to explain to others, one who the capacity to take others to this and helps one sustain that even when one come down, from where one cannot fall. That is the definition of a Master in Kashmir Shaivism. How difficult!! You must have experiential understanding, you must be able to communicate and explain to others, not only that you must be capable of taking them and putting them in to experiential understanding, so that the knowledge transfer is at experiential level and explaining to them how to sustain it so that they do not fall when they go back to the sansara again. Now you understand why so much importance is given to Kashmir Shaivism?<br />
<br />
As a Grihasthi you have to continue doing your normal work, it is not that after enlightenment you drop out and go to the jungle. Your family members will not allow you to go! Even if you go they will find out and bring you back. Better to learn Kashmir Shaivism and even with all these things you are not lost. That is the real Mastery, if you are going away from sansara if you are opting for Sanyas, you cannot become the Master. Being a Master means experiencing all these things and doing your normal duty as you are doing that now and not losing that state, that is a real Mastery and that Mastery comes by actual experiencing of 36 elements and 30 states of being.<br />
<br />
Is eight days a long time for this? I think eight days is nothing! With this we complete this topic.<br />

But, YOU the reader, if you have no experience of Kundalin awakening and if you read this chapter, it will not make much sense! On the contrary, it can create misunderstanding due to the words used... as intellect can grasp these words! So, be careful while reading this and don’t jump to conclusions! If you do not understand, please ask. I am available. Shivoham, Prem)<br />
<br />
Now we will go into great details of types of Kundalini awakening experiences that one has. All of you had different experiences. In our chakra workshop Level II that is Chakra & Kundalini workshop, all of you learnt to see the chakras with naked eyes and with kirlan camera we captured the Kundalini awakening process of 45 people, 25 people in the first batch and 20 people in the second batch. It is no more unknown and is very much known and proved through camera. It is seen by everybody. But you must understand what Kundalini awakening is. What type of Kundalini awakening you had? What are the different types of Kundalini awakening experiences? All these things become important.<br />
<br />
I never talked about these things because if you did not have experience and if I told you about these things you would start imagining about these things. That imagination will actually hinder your growth on the path. All these things are discussed after you have had the experience so that so that you understand the experience. Understanding of the experience has to happen afterwards. First you must have the experience and then you understand the experience because that understanding is experiential because you have already experienced. If we discuss these things without you having any such experiences at the most it will become a concept for you. Some of you may start imagining it, some may start visualizing it and all that will actually become hindrance on your path. That is why this is not to be discussed before. These things are to be discussed only after the major experience.<br />
<br />
There are three types of Kundalini awakening experiences. The highest form is called Para Kundalini. The middle form is called Chid Kundalini and the lower form is called Prana Kundalini. Para Kundalini cannot be experienced in the physical body by the Yogi. Para Kundalini is the ultimate Kundalini that gives rise to the Universe. It is a Universal Phenomena, it is not a local phenomena. It is not a human phenomenon. Para Kundalini is what we call Kundalini of Shiva. It is Shiva. Kundalini and Shiva are one. That Kundalini gives rise to the Universe. In Kashmir Shaivism there is lot of importance given to Visarga. Visarga is the two dots. The upper dot is called Shiva and the lower dot is called as Shakti at the highest level of tattwas. If you come down one level lower, the upper bindu is Sadashiva, the lower bindu is Isahwara that is third and fourth element. Sadashiva has the power of revilement, that which reveals. Ishwara has the power of concealment that which conceals. Visarga also represents the power of revealing and the power of concealing. It is because of these powers at the Para Kundalini level that Shiva created the Universe and is lost into the Universe. So the Universe is created and revealed but Shiva is concealed, it is because of the Para Kundalini. When the dissolution of Universe happens the Universe is concealed but the Shiva is revealed. This game at the Universal level is happening because of Para Kundalini. More than this cannot be said about Para Kundalini. Yogi cannot experience Para Kundalini in the physical body at all. It’s too huge. If at all it is experienced, it is by highest kind of Yogi at the time of death where you are into that Universal self and leave the body. Only then Para Kundalini is experienced at the time of death, otherwise it is not. <br />
<br />
You need to do the practice of Ajapa Gayatri properly, get into the awareness of sandhikal, the turning point, the threshold point; whatever word you use, all mean the same. You get into the sandhikal of your breath then you get into the sandhikal of your thoughts. When one thought ends and the second thought begins there is a sandhikal, the junction, the threshold. You have to become aware of that Gap. You can use the word gap for that sandhi. As you go on practicing Ajapa Gayatri, your breath becomes slower and slower and at one moment it will stop. You keep watching your thoughts, at one moment your thoughts will also stop, then you have only GAP throughout. When you become steady in the gap, suddenly the Kundalini Shakti gets into the Muladhara, you keep watching , it straight moves to third eye, you may just breath out and it moves to Sahasrara and opens your Brahmarandra and you start experiencing the Jagadananda, universal bliss. This experience is called as Chid Kundalini. This can be perfect description of enlightenment experience because when you get into the Jagadananda, the dissolution of ‘I’ is complete in this process. The mind gets dropped. You are steady in the no-mind state. But in this state, the no-mind state, there is no void. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG3aQevulpvwnWrRpKWP7m2F5hH_1XspXKQ8iznLBvTkWBU01_j2yCNdWuQLWhdXw4u_Br1rM5RWiv3U25PM7MbszRpQ-VCyZP57IiSmDAxtoxBYU1KI-ZNZwtD8efxd3Iv7VXKjuUkRk/s1600/chidkundalini.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" l6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG3aQevulpvwnWrRpKWP7m2F5hH_1XspXKQ8iznLBvTkWBU01_j2yCNdWuQLWhdXw4u_Br1rM5RWiv3U25PM7MbszRpQ-VCyZP57IiSmDAxtoxBYU1KI-ZNZwtD8efxd3Iv7VXKjuUkRk/s320/chidkundalini.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>There is a huge confusion going on with meditators. If you do Buddhist meditation you get into Shunyata. Shunyata is the state of non thinking. In English we can call it as Void. But in the state of Void you cannot experience Jagadananda, universal bliss. In the Void there is no bliss, it is just a void. This is where Kashmir Shaivism Practices are far more superior. Here enthusiastically you are refreshing your awareness every nanosecond and capturing your turning points. In the same way, you go on increasing your awareness; you go on refreshing your awareness every nanosecond and capture the Gap. Even when you become steady in the Gap, you go on refreshing your awareness every nanosecond. There is no thought but refreshing of awareness is there, in that refreshing of awareness you will stumble upon, at one point, where the awareness becomes aware of itself. There is absolutely no thought but awareness becomes aware of itself and there is a great vibrancy. That vibrancy brings about ecstasy. It is the effervescent silence not the dead void, that is the experience of Chid Kundalini. <br />
<br />
These experiences happen only to those Yogis who are not having any attachment with the material world, they have already transcended materiality. Most of the grihasthis that I have seen so far, the record shows they get into the aspect of Chid Kundalini. The Grihasthi is already comfortable with the sex aspect as he is a married person, already comfortable with money aspect, then you have lost interest. This experience of Kundalini is thousand fold higher in ecstasy compared to the sexual orgasm and with this experience you are no more interested in small worldly pleasures because you have experienced such a high level thing that these minor things will not attract you. For a Grihasthi it is very easy. For a Sanyasi who has never experienced sex in a proper manner, in a right kind of relationship, it will be very difficult. For a person who has not enjoyed money it will be very difficult. That is why not many Sanyasis are successful on the path of spirituality. Their desires are there and those desires make them Swami Scandalananda. Now do you understand why I am promoting grihasthiyonka adhyatma? Grihasthi is far more solid on the path of spirituality. Those temptations are not there, you have enjoyed. You have enjoyed enough, you are finished with it. Then you can have the experience of Chid Kundalini. But those people who have spiritual experiences and are also materialistic they are on the way. Those people, if they do these practices they will get Prana Kundalini experience, the third category.<br />

How the Kundalini pierces all the chakras and gets to the third eye, from Muladhara to third eye, the kind of piercing that happens is called ‘Vedha’. Vedha means to pierce through. There are different types of Vedhas and that defines what kind of Kundalini awakening experience you had. People who are initiated systematically in the Kriya Yoga and Kashmir Shaivism, you go by mantra and at every level there is a different mantra. Aham aham idam,idam is one mantra. Idam aham is the second mantra. Aham is the third mantra, which means I am. If you go on contemplating on ‘I am’ and Kundalini rises as you go deep into meditation, from the Muladhara it rises and goes to the navel, pierces that and comes to the heart, pierces through the heart comes to the throat, piercing through comes to the third eye. This kind of Kundalini experience is known as Mantra Vedha because you are practicing and contemplating on the Mantra ‘I am’. Many people who are seriously following Ramana Maharshi’s path, contemplating upon who am I, they stumble upon this and suddenly Kundalini awakening happen. Your contemplation on who am I will result into I am that and that will lead to Mantra Veda and many people had this kind of experience.<br />

The chakras can be seen by the camera, they can be seen by the naked eyes also. How much percentage of chakra is open on the scale of 0 to 100, the software gives the percentage also. Fully opened is 100%, half opened is 50%, it can be anything between 0 to 100%. There is software that defines all these levels, it defines energy levels, and everything can be measured now. Science itself has grown. I don’t say that it has grown to the ultimate extent but these subtle bodies experiences, chakra experiences are very much measurable, and they are quantifiable. <br />
<br />
There is another type of Kundalini experience that happens called Nada Vedha. In Nada Veda you experience and listen from inside various sounds. The sounds are called Nada. Nada Yogis know in great detail how to create this experience of Kundalini awakening known as Nada Veda. Few of my friends including myself, all of us, we had this experience when few years back we went to Bihar School of Yoga. There was an American gentleman who was an expert in music, he was playing the basic notes on the harmonium and he went on playing for almost half an hour and we were meditating just listening to that Nada. Suddenly quite a few people in the group had this Kundalini awakening experience, known as Nada Vedha. You listen to the sound and it moves one after the other and when the chakra opened you listened to the sound of that chakra. It’s called chakra swara. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8rCAH-eCPBhDRvXgNo7WZw9lJ4y7gIY9aaioP9_GRhxHyf-l02UzNjM9EogRHwMjT4zYQ8FuDF4ooOCfpkyVzk0os7hGAXPWBLMhs8pmgmSgHnTy6PLpD0xtAWY0V8WebbtYNFL7xQm8/s1600/kundalini+rising%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" l6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8rCAH-eCPBhDRvXgNo7WZw9lJ4y7gIY9aaioP9_GRhxHyf-l02UzNjM9EogRHwMjT4zYQ8FuDF4ooOCfpkyVzk0os7hGAXPWBLMhs8pmgmSgHnTy6PLpD0xtAWY0V8WebbtYNFL7xQm8/s320/kundalini+rising%255B1%255D.jpg" width="253" /></a></div>Swara means sound. Every chakra has its own sound and that can be heard from inside. When the Kundalini awakening happens and starts rising from the Muladhara you have the sound of the creature cricket. As it moves to the Swadisthan you get the sound of cricket but intermittently. When it comes to the Manipur you get the sound of thundering. When the Kundalini pierces and further comes to heart you get the sound of Dhol, (Drums) actually it is the sound of your heart, and you actually listen to the sound; that is what Nada Vedha is. You actually get the sound very clearly. When it moves to the throat chakra you get the sound of conch blowing. When it pierces the third eye you get the sound of the bell. You may wonder who is ringing the bell, it’s an inside sound. That’s chakra swara. When it pierces the third eye and your Sahasrara opens you get the sound of flute, basuri. They say that Krishna’s basuri is all the time available. It is a fact. It is all the time playing but you listen to that only when the Sahasrara is pierced through the Kundalini. You actually listen to the sound of flute, omkar nada, they are actually heard. Quite a few of us heard it, it just happened. Everything just happened in half an hour. Amazing! This is Nada Vedha and a Nada Yogi who knows how to play the musical notes perfectly well they can induce it through music.<br />
<br />
The experiences all depend on what kind of desires, intentions you have while doing sadhana. If you have the intention to experience the universal reality you will get the first kind of experience by using the mantra aham or contemplating on who am I. that is the experience of mantra Vedha. Nada Veda experience will happen to those people who have the desire of uplifting humanity, those who have bodhisattva characteristics. Such people are real missionary people. Their only mission is to help people, teach, they are the great teachers. Their job is to teach to uplift humanity, to help other people; they get this experience of Nada Vedha. That desire will bring this experience. It will happen naturally. Whatever is your real intention accordingly you will get Kundalini awakening experience. <br />
<br />
Those people who are attached to the comfort, joy, and who want peace of mind, normal grihasthi people want this. If you do the practices that we will be doing in Dwarahat, if you are very much keen on having peace of mind you get Bindu Vedha. What happens is you get into the thoughtless state and suddenly the energy seeps into your Muladhara and it starts moving upwards opening each and every chakra as if a fountain of semen is moving up, that kind of energy is there. Here the ecstasy is comparable to sexual energy but thousand fold more. It is not comparable but to put it into words that is how it is described. Bindu Vedha, the semen energy, the sexual energy moves like a fountain and you experience what is thousand fold more powerful experience then what one can get in sexual ecstasy. That is called as Bindu Vedha.<br />
<br />
The fourth type of experience, the people who have this desire or intention of having healthy body so that they can work without fatigue, they can do their job and complete their job without, fatigue, more powerful, there the energy moves like energy and their experience is of energy only, you feel ecstasy all over the body, energetic experience is called Shakta Vedha, you experience Shakti. You feel ecstasy all over the body in the form of energy. That is called Shakta Vedha.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZC2Nz2XT3ik5cgYL_M7u4WrB2Vp3OXXt7AyIkx6wAh8pgQu_q3sCkHXoDu4V8e-SW2bnJLsJP-mmtwQiTqatGhmgWQT7iChza4thRE-K6XD4JPTcfJAglyO_6Y5cPL8mQ4FXpFNsCjVc/s1600/serpent+kundalini+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" l6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZC2Nz2XT3ik5cgYL_M7u4WrB2Vp3OXXt7AyIkx6wAh8pgQu_q3sCkHXoDu4V8e-SW2bnJLsJP-mmtwQiTqatGhmgWQT7iChza4thRE-K6XD4JPTcfJAglyO_6Y5cPL8mQ4FXpFNsCjVc/s320/serpent+kundalini+.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>The fifth experience, most of the Indians who had many lifetimes in India and had walked the path of Kundalini Yoga, we have this perception of Kundalini as a serpent and we have this idea which is our traditional idea that Kundalini energy is sitting in the Muladhara as a serpent with three and a half turns coiled. Its potential is in the Muladhara. When you do the meditational practices that serpent moves up and the tail of the serpent remains in the Muladhara. It moves up opening every chakra, comes to the third eye and opens the Brahmarandra and moves up. That kind of Vedha is known Bhujang Vedha, the piercing by the cobra and many people have heard the hissing sound. When the Kundalini awakening happens cobra makes a hissing sound in the sushumana nadi and you have the feeling as if the cobra has awakened and has moved through all the chakras. That is called Bhujang Vedha. <br />
<br />
Those who stay with the Master and somehow they desire to be the Master, it is like an induced desire, they start secretly contemplating on that, one day also become the Master. They also do this job of uplifting humanity. Intentions are good but they are not talking about it, secretly they have this intention in their being, it means they are destined to become a Master in the future. Those people also will have Kundalini awakening, they will also hear the sound of the black bee and the Kundalini awakening happens. That kind of sound is heard from insides and as the chakras are pierced through it is called Bhramar Vedha. So, in many different ways Kundalini awakening happens.<br />
<br />
These are the basic six types of Kundalini awakening. Basic experience is same, perception varies depending on your desire or ambition or your intention, all mixed. On what kind of Kundalini experience you will have, you have no control. It is decided by your being depending on the kind of desires, ambition or intention. With this the basic discussion on the various types of Kundalini awakening ends. <br />

But if you have prana Kundalini experience you don’t have to stop there. There is lot more ahead. Prana Kundalini experience cannot be labeled as enlightenment experience because the desire is there, the thought is still there. So, one has to walk. You can have the experience of prana Kundalini. As you go deeper you become free of desires. You will have Chid Kundalini experience. It is not that if you have one you cannot have the other. In fact I had the experience of Chid Kundalini first by being with Dadaji. Today 4th September is his birthday. His methodology will induce Chid Kundalini experience. Only when we went to Bihar school of Yoga because of the Nada Yogi, Nada yoga happened it was beyond my control. Not that I wanted it but it happened. That was the effect of music. But I experienced what Nada Vedha is, the sound of every chakra, known as chakra swara, everything was experienced and I was not alone, quite a few other people also experienced the same thing. So, it is not that you can’t have multiple experiences. In fact you can have different kinds of experiences at different times and that is what gives you the richness of experiences. So don’t stop at any particular experience. <br />
<br />
Pass through Prana Kundalini experience, as a grihasthi you are more likely to pass, then when you came to age of retirement like me, you will have Chid Kundalini experience as then the basic desires are not there but that will be still labeled as self realization and enlightenment experience and the game does not end with that. That is the main point of the discussion today. There is a more detailed, unknown approach to the whole thing which is normally not given by the Masters. It is not that the Masters did not know but these things were never discussed in any circle because Masters did not get batches of enlightened students. Now that we have so many enlightened people we need to discuss the knowledge of what is beyond enlightenment. From Atma Vyapti to Shiv Vyapti is beyond enlightenment knowledge. It’s a very important aspect for further sadhana. Your sadhana does not stop with the experience of enlightenment. There is lot more. <br />
Those of you who have read autobiography of Shri Dada Gavand ‘Intelligence beyond thoughts’, at the age of around 39 he left home and he went to Sajjangad. In a small hut he was meditation for few months, about 3 to 4 months and the awakening happened. According to our terminology what happened to him was Chid Kundalini experience, which is also enlightenment experience, awakening experience. He could have come back and enjoyed life happily in Thane. But he did not do that. He came down, met his mother at Thane and J. Krishnamurty at Madras and went to Mahabaleshwar and stayed there for 14 years. You may wonder once the enlightenment happened what he had been doing in the jungle of Mahabaleshwar for 14 long years. That is the journey from Atma Vyapti to Shiv Vyapti and all Masters do it. There is a long way to go. Many seekers have this understanding, which is false; they feel that enlightenment is an end. It’s not an end but beginning of one more journey, much longer journey, from Atma Vyapti to Shiv Vyapti. From enlightenment to Sadashiva state it’s a long journey and how to walk that path there is a proper, 15-step methodology to do that; that is what we are going to discuss in Dwarahat Shibir.<br />
<br />
Those who do not have enlightenment experience they will really feel sleepy at Dwarahat because this knowledge will not make any sense to them. That is why we are very particular of who will join the Dwarahat Shibir. There is a beautiful methodology which is available. That is what we are going to discuss in Dwarahat. I wanted to create a background for Dwarahat Shibir so that you understand that there is lot more further things to learn. Second thing that we are going to focus upon in Dwarahat Shibir is this technology of enlightenment, all the enlightened Master, how you can help your students to get enlightened. That is the technology which I want to discuss there and with a special focus on change of vehicle.<br />
<br />
In TAO circle enlightenment happens so easily to so many people! Just one or two programs and in ADP everybody catches this. The reason is very simple; the Mastery of the technology, the change of vehicle happens without you knowing it; that is what is producing the result. So if you want to spread enlightenment to your students which you have to do, that is the Guru-rina you have to pay, you will not get moksha without that. You will have to help your students to get enlightened. If your students get enlightened you are debt free. You have to pay this debt which is called Guru-rina and that is paid only when your students get enlightened. How to do that, that technology I want to discuss in Dwarahat Shibir. It is going to be quite a tough job and you need to prepare yourself psychologically and be ready with that.<br />
<br />
For Dwarahat Shibir, Level - 1 is compulsory because you cannot learn kriya yoga without it. Swara Yoga is compulsory because minimum you need to have is the tattwa gyan. You must experience the five elements and must have experiential understanding of how this body is made up of panch mahabhuttas. You must be tattwa gyata, tattva gyani. It means you actually experience where earth element, water element, fire element, air element and space element is. Body is made up of Panch Mahabhuttas. You must experientially understand what the meaning of panch mahabhuttas is. There are five basic elements in Kashmir Shaivism beginning from the bottom earth, water, air, fire and space, if you don’t understand that in Dwarahat you are not eligible. We will be taking off at a much higher level. These experiences you will have in Swara Yoga workshop which almost everybody had and those who did not have and missed somehow they can attend Swara Yoga workshop. <br />
<br />
You need to have the basic understanding of the practices of Kashmir Shaivism meditations, the right kind of meditations. These meditations will be given to you in ADP workshop, awareness development program. Those who have not done,it is compulsory because I will not be teaching all this in Dwarahat. Dwarahat will be much higher. Those who have missed must compulsorily do ADP workshop without which you will not be allowed to attend Dwarahat Shibir. I will be happy to do Dwarahat Shibir with five people but those five people have to be fit for that. If you are not fit for that then you are not allowed to attend that because then I will not be able to talk. If you are not ripe enough, what can I talk about these higher level things? So I want to prepare all of you who are honest and sincere, you must do it, it is compulsory so that I don’t have to start with the basic of what are the 36 elements. So you must be well versed with these basics and be ready for the Shibir so that we go to the greatest height that is possible and I don’t want to deprive the ripened student here who are ready for that just because of some newcomer. That will be sacrilegious. Why should I deprive those who are ready just because of the newcomers who are not sincere about learning? They should drop out for the benefit of others. That is why I have been so strict about Dwarahat Shibir.<br />
The methodology that we are practicing is so perfected, everybody gets experience but the conditions are that you must learn systematically. Attitude of learning is a must. TAO as an institute and Prem Nirmal as an individual is not for masses. My mission is not mass mission. My mission is two-fold. The first mission given by Mahavatar Babaji to me is to initiate coupes into kriya yoga. That is to promote Grihasthiyonka Adhytma, householder’s spirituality. I have been given this task by the master that is why I am doing it. It’s my rina and I have to pay. Second is enlightenment and beyond enlightenment knowledge that is Atma Vyapti to Shiva Vyapti that is the major mission. Masses have no understanding and they are simply not interested in enlightenment. These things are not for masses; these are only for sincere, honest, spiritual seekers. Only those people can walk this path. <br />
<br />
I welcome those who are sincerely, honestly interested in walking the path of spirituality by being a Grihasthi. I do not give any sanyas diksha. I promote only grihasthi dharma and I give diksha only to the grihasthis. That is the mission. 99% people in this world are grihasthis, somebody has to do this work. Those who are serious, sincere, honest I welcome you all with my open arms, open heart, come study systematically and attain to the ultimate that is possible in the human body.<br />
<br />

Namaste!<br />
<br />
The topic of the evening is Satori, Atma Vyapti and Shiv Vyapti. In the first part we will discuss seven levels of turya. But, before that let me talk about the background as to why this program was announced. In the last couple of years because of this wonderful combination of kriya yoga and Kashmir Shaivism so many people in TAO had life transforming experiences. Many of you had these experiences during karmakshalan camp, almost everybody had these experiences in Awareness Development Program and everybody had these experiences in the Tripura Rahasya Camp, seven days long residential camp. Many people discussed those experiences with me, lot of feedback arrived and we have thick file, which is a compilations of all these experiences. <br />
<br />
For a seeker any experience of this kind gives a good jolt to the system. It’s a big shock to the mind, so you enjoy. Because the entire science of Atma Vyapti and Shiv Vyapti is unknown to the seeker in the beginning you do not know what kind of experience that was. Any life transforming experience for that matter is a fantastic event in your being and you can’t describe such experiences in words. If you try to describe in words, you will find that whatever you talk is nowhere near to your experience, so you fail to describe. That is the reason we don’t know what that experience was, where we stand on the path, whether that is the final experience or there is something more than that, all this confusion starts. <br />
<br />
Prior to any life transforming experience you have no confusions because ignorance is bliss. At the most you have some concepts, some imagination of life transforming experience like Satori or Atma Vyapti. Enlightenment, Self Realization, all these are words and concepts for you in the beginning and you are happy because you know them intellectually, you have read and you have heard but you did not have it in your own consciousness so there is no confusion. Real confusion begins when you actually have the experiences and then you wonder what that experience was. Any life transforming experience is a big event, how to understand what that was? This is the background.<br />
<br />
In last 14 years of TAO more than 100 people had enlightenment experience right here. Right from my first or second workshop people started having these experiences, so many of them. So I thought that time has now come to discuss in a very systematic manner what are the different kinds of experiences you can have when you do sadhana in a very sincere manner. Our methodology of kriya yoga and Kashmir Shaivism is really producing results. Initially when we were talking about “Buddhas by batches” all of used to laugh! But today Buddhas by batches is a reality. In every batch, many participants get enlightenment experiences. It has already become a reality and it is not a laughing matter. It is a matter to celebrate, to rejoice! This happened in the times of Buddha also, 2500 years back. When so many people around Buddha started getting enlightened other people who had no idea of spiritual experiences they were wondering and many people started criticizing Buddha that may be your Bhikhus are hallucinating, how can these many people get enlightened. Buddha’s answer to that in Pali was ‘Ihi Pasiko’. ‘Ihi Pasiko’ means you come and see. You look into the eyes of those disciples and see, they also attained to Buddhahood. My answer also to all those people who are wondering is the same ‘Ihi Pasiko’. Come and see so many Enlightened Beings are there. It is an amazing happening on this Planet Earth. <br />
<br />
But my friends here we must understand what different kinds of experiences are there and what kind of experience you had so that you understand and don’t get stuck there. Because the life transformation is such a big jolt, you may stay into that for a very long time and you may not walk further. You may not actualize your fullest potential and this can happen and it is happening to many and that is the reason we announced this evening program for all our budding Buddhas so that you do not get stuck with that one experience. There is a long way to go. It’s an eternal journey and there is nothing like final experience. Of course there is a kind of finality in spirituality but as far as the journey is concerned it is an eternal journey. Nobody should get stuck at any particular experience and that is the reason we need to discuss. <br />
<br />
As we discuss various aspects you start pondering in your own being and you will understand what happened to you and you will understand that quite a few things happened to you. My methodology of guiding people systematically to enlightenment is now so perfected that many of you will realize that you had series of experiences. As we discuss, you start meditating, you start pondering, and you start relating to the words that I speak. To all my friends where these experiences happened, you will understand and those who did not have any experience will not understand abc… of what I am talking, so please excuse me. There are quite a few new people here. But we wanted this program to happen before Dwarahat Shibir. In this shibir we will go to very high level peaks in our journey and if you are not well versed with the basics you may not feel comfortable in Dwarahat Shibir. That is why all those people who are coming to Mahavatar Babaji’s cave on 2nd October 2010 I wanted all of them to attend this program because this program will prepare you for something which is much higher. There is no end to this journey. How far we can go? It’s an infinite journey. This evening program will also prepare you for Dwarahat Shibir.<br />
<br />
Now let’s start with the first experience that everybody gets, when I say everybody it means even those who are not on the path, they also get. Only thing is that it is unknown to the world that it is also Samadhi but it is not called Samadhi, it is called Satori. All of us, everybody gets Satori experience under certain conditions. What are these conditions? We have many friends who go for trekking regularly. For example you prepare yourself and you start trekking and you go uphill. It is a difficult task and you manage to trek for four to five hours continuously at a stretch and when you come across a difficult terrain, your attention also is very high, you are very vigilant because if your feet slip you may go down in the valley or river. So your attention goes very high when you are trekking and you are not worried about what is there in the future, you have to see your next step. <br />
<br />
This time we went to kedartal, we used to just see the next step, forgetting where we had to go. Every step we had to be vigilant because if your next step you do not put properly you will go into Ganges. So trekking automatically increases your awareness of the moment. It is a must and it is an uphill task when you go up in the mountains. After five to six hours when you reach the peak of the mountain suddenly you will see that panoramic view and you will get that ’aha’ feeling. In that feeling there is an experience. That experience is called satori. It stays for few seconds only, five to ten seconds and it is lost and then you are back to normal. <br />
<br />
Same Satori experience can happen when you are very hungry. When you get a good meal and if the food is tasty you really feel contented and at the end of it at one particular point you have that ‘aha’ feeling. It is as if you got bliss on your full body. Those who are food lovers they get it. That is Satori experience. You just be with the nature, meditate, suddenly you come to that euphoric feeling, you get satori experience. If you love beauty and if you capture a good scene; even photography can give you Satori experience. If you are a meditator and a photographer you can get Satori experience while doing photography. If you look into the innocent eyes of a child and you get absorbed into the scene, ‘aha’, that is Satori experience. You look at a beautiful face and you get that ‘aha’ feeling, that is satori experience, all that gives you the glimpse where objectivity is lost because you are fully absorbed into that scene is Satori experience, but this happens unknowingly. You are not fully aware of your subjectivity; only objectivity is lost because you are absorbed into the scene. That is why these experiences do not become life transforming experiences. They are just like touch and go. You get something that is why these trekkers they go repeatedly, they don’t know what they get. But they get the Satori experience that is why they are attracted to repeatedly go for trek. For those five to ten seconds you work so hard. But that is the beauty. <br />
<br />
But these experiences do not stay with you for long, they are fleeting moments, they are for few seconds at the most. You go to the same place again; you may or may not get these experiences. You had a wonderful experience once and you take your friends and you want to go to same place again. You may not get the same experience because it does not create the satori experience the second time. First time everything is unknown so you are enjoying. Second time it is known so you relate to the scene from the memory and that does not give you satori experience. It means that it is not meditative awareness. <br />
<br />
Here we are not discussing Satori experiences as spiritual experiences because technically Satori experience is a glimpse of Samadhi. It is like an early level of Samadhi where the mind stops for few seconds naturally because of that ‘aha’ feeling. But nevertheless according to the definition, it is the glimpse of Samadhi and is called as Satori. Many people who attend Vipasana Program, they keep watching their breath for 10 days and at one moment they have that ‘aha’ feeling. You experience something and that is no-mind, which is Satori experience. So meditators also get Satori experience. But we need to understand what a full fledged spiritual experience is. Satori is just a glimpse it is not a full fledged life transforming experience. All those who had Satori experience, you will not see them transforming. You will have just a happy memory of that trek, or that beauty or that photograph. You want to relive that moment by seeing that photograph again. You get that joy but when you see it repeatedly even that joy is lost. Those who have too many photographs of too many treks they don’t even bother to see. What is there to see? This is because the same thing does not give joy second time. That is why Satori experiences are not lasting experiences and they cannot be labeled as Self Realization or Enlightenment experience. That is something different. So let’s move further.<br />
<br />
The real experience happens when you capture the junction point, after you sleep when the dream state starts. When you sleep, your wakefulness goes away; you get in the hynogogic state, after hynogogic state of five to ten minutes you get into sleep, which is more or less deep sleep. After about 90 minutes or so you get the first dream. When you are just about to get the dream there is a junction point between deep sleep and dream state. If you become aware of that state, that junction point, that sandhikal it is called first level of bliss. That is also the first level of turya. There are four states of consciousness and in Kashmir Shaivism there are five.<br />
The first state is called jagrat avastha. You are normal, conscious and awake right now. You are in Jagrat avastha. Second level is when you are dreaming, swapna avastha and dream less sleep, deep sleep that is sushupti avastha – where you are totally ignorant, you have forgotten everything including your name. This is deep sleep state. If your awareness goes up and if you start dreaming and you know you are dreaming means you are aware. Otherwise during the dream state you are not aware that you are dreaming. The dream is real for you but if you do kriya, if you are initiated into kriya properly, you do kriya regularly and you do Chakrodaya meditation – watching your breath and capturing the turning point that is the greatest secret of spirituality.<br />
<br />
If you do Chakrodaya meditation very soon you develop the awareness of the junction between the deep sleep and dreams. When the dream stops you again get into deep sleep and there is a junction. When you wake up from deep sleep state to wakeful state there is a junction. When you get into sleep from wakeful state to deep sleep state there is a junction point. If you become aware of every junction, in that junction point, in that sandhi, in that turning point, in that threshold point, in that connecting point you get bliss that is the bliss of Turya, that bliss which all of you have experienced, anybody who attended ADP this is guaranteed. During ADP your awareness goes to that extent and 100% everybody experiences. That is technically known as first level of Turya.<br />
<br />
Turya has seven levels. Turya is just not beyond Jagrat, swapna and sushupti as it is understood normally by the sadhakas. Turya, as you go deeper has many layers and that is why your experiences differ. So this is the first level of Turya, first level of bliss. Technically in Kashmir Shaivism they call it Nijananda. Its ananda, bliss, labeled as Nijananda. It is bliss of the self. ‘Nija’ means self. It is ananda of the self. In the turya state you experience your own self and that is called Nijananda. Even that cannot be considered as Enlightenment experience. I am just trying to explain to you what exactly the meaning of the word enlightenment, self realization is because there are so many stages and at what state exactly it happens. These are the passing stages, stepping stones, no doubt you experience bliss but that bliss is of different kind and yogis get bliss of different kind, Shiva’s bliss is of different kind and there are so many different levels of bliss. You have to understand that it is an eternal journey and there are so many different types of experiences. You start recording in your personal diary your own experiences you will understand the differences.<br />
<br />
As you progress on the path and you practice meditations of Kashmir Shaivism, you practice Ajapa Gayatri and you go deep into it; the practice which we did in ADP shibir, most of the time we were doing Ajapa Gayatri. When you do Ajapa Gayatri meditation your breathing will slow down naturally and you get more and more into sandhikal the junction points. At one point your awareness increases to such an extent that you start feeling giddy. Your body is not accustomed to handle that high voltage power of awareness. If you are a non vegetarian eater or if your eating habits are not proper or if you are not doing your kriya regularly; your pranic levels are low. The moment you get to that height of awareness which is created because of the practice of Ajapa Gayatri meditation of Kashmir Shaivism you start feeling giddy very early. In that giddiness if you maintain that awareness even that giddiness will pass away but during that giddiness phase also you are in Turya avastha. But it is higher level of Turya, a little deeper level of Turya, you are giddy but you are still enjoying the breath, you are still getting into the turning point. There is bliss. The giddiness is of the body but your being is enjoying that bliss but because of giddiness we call it as nirananda – devoid of infinite bliss. Bliss is there but because you are feeling giddy you are not able to breakthrough that phase it is called Nirananda – devoid of infinite bliss. This is second level of Turya. <br />
<br />
All those who meditate know that at one point you feel uncomfortable in meditation and from there you come out. Most of the time that discomfort zone is decided by your cellular vibrancy. Those who do kriya yoga because of the power of yoga your cellular system is pretty good and is prepared, so you pass this second level of turya without much difficulty. But those who are not doing kriya yoga, I meet thousands of meditators world over, many meditators have described that at a particular level they feel saturated, they feel they have had enough and then they come out of it. That is normally at the level of Nirananda. Because you have not done kriya, your pranic levels are low then your physical body is not prepared for that higher level, so you turn back from there and further sadhana is not possible. That is the reason anybody who came to TAO the first thing that I do is increase their cellular frequency which is not possible by doing imagination meditations, visualizations. You can’t. <br />
<br />
You have to have oxygenation of the body. When you oxygenate your body, your cellular frequency rises. So kriya yoga is absolutely fantastic methodology. What you achieve by 45 minutes of kapalbhati or bhastrika Pranayama, you will achieve with three minutes of kriya. That is the power of kriya yoga. That is why I insist that before you seriously go deep into spiritually prepare your body. That is a must. That is why in ashtang yoga so much of importance is given to yama, niyama and asan, pranayam. All these first four limbs of ashtang yoga – yama and niyama which is basically setting your lifestyle and creating that attitude and asan and pranayam is basically to make your body supple and increase the cellular vibrancy. Pranayam is basically to oxygenate your system. When the oxygen saturation level of the blood goes high you become capable of handling that higher awareness. If your system is not fully oxygenated your body cannot handle higher awareness and that giddiness will come very early. <br />
<br />
There is another thing to this. If your body is not oxygenated even gyan will not come to you that easily. What I am talking now, everyone is getting differently. It all depends on your level. Suppose your oxygenation levels are low you will feel sleepy. These topics of Turya can put you into Turya avastha or into deep sleep. It will be decided by your own cellular frequency. That is why with kriya yoga the breakthrough became so rapid. Every camp produces few Buddhas, few enlightened Masters because it is a real technology. If you do kriya your cellular frequency goes up along with that you do right kind of meditations. I have to use this word right kind of meditation because in the world there are thousand different types of meditations and out of that 900 meditations are of imagination. So I have to really make it a point about doing right kind of meditation. Meditation must increase your awareness; any meditation that increases your awareness is the right kind of meditation. Any meditation that enhances your mind games is a wrong kind of meditation. All imaginations and visualizations should necessarily be avoided if you want to walk the path of enlightenment. <br />
<br />
Please don’t misunderstand me, I am not against visualizations. Visualization is good for preparing your day, prioritizing your day, planning your day, it is a manifesting technology. Manifesting is good if you want to achieve your sales target, business target, it is absolutely fine, and I am not against that. But visualizations, imaginations, mental constructs, mind games are no way helpful on the path to enlightenment. Be very careful because in the New Age circles most of the people are promoting this, those types of meditations are absolutely useless as far as your walking the path of self realization is concerned. They are very useful for business growth, theirs as well as yours, more of theirs and less of yours! So be very careful my dear friends. <br />
<br />
If you practice Chakrodaya you will start becoming aware in a real sense. The more aware you become and you go on upgrading your awareness you will naturally capture the turning points of the breath. You go on inhaling, inhaling, and inhaling, at one point your inhalation stops and the exhalation starts. That point is called as sandhikal. That is the sandhi, the joining point, the junction point, the threshold point. You must become aware of that. Then you go on exhaling and at one point exhalation is over and your inhalation starts. That is the turning point, sandhikal. You go on updating your awareness joyously and again capture the turning point. This meditation is known as Chakrodaya dhyana. We will go into greater details of each technique of Kashmir Shaivism by actually practicing it in Dwarahat Shibhir. Every meditation we will practice for longer durations so that you become absolutely thorough with the basics. <br />
<br />
If you do so daily, regularly your awareness will go on increasing. Then from here you will go on to the next level of practice which is known as Ajapa Gayatri meditation. In Ajapa Gayatri meditation same thing happens but your breath becomes slower, you become more relaxed, you become more subtle and you go on getting into that joyously every nanosecond as you inhale, throughout. You capture the turning point with great enthusiasm fully aware. As you go on exhaling you are fully enthusiastic, refreshing, renovating your awareness and then come to the turning point and joyously capture it. There is a great joy. If you do this right kind of meditation you will be able to capture the junction point in your sleep. In the day time you don’t do this meditation then you go to sleep, only in the morning when you wake up you will realize you had slept. Only while having your tea you will understand that you missed the junction point. Only those who meditate throughout the day, only those people can capture the junction point during sleep, not otherwise. It’s not easy. This bliss business is not easy. You have to work for it. <br />
<br />
As you go deeper, there are many levels. This is called sleep awareness. Do these practices in daytime and also while sleeping and you enter the sleep. You will start understanding the junction points in the sleep. This means that your awareness is now strengthened and the stronger awareness only can capture the junction point. That is called Turya. As you go deeper with this Ajapa Gayatri practice your awareness will become so deep that at one point of time in your sleep you start getting nightmares. It is part of the process. As you go deeper into the third level of turya you will feel as if you are not able to move your body. This happens when normally your astral body moves out. Your physical body becomes very heavy and even if you try you can’t move your limbs and you start wondering what has happened. The feeling maybe as if the ceiling has collapsed on you. You feel suffocated, you feel choked up. If your right nostril is functioning at that moment you feel that your house is on fire. You listen to some horrible sounds, you have some horrible visuals. <br />
<br />
All your past samskaras are coming up because you have started seeing from the higher dimension. And this is a necessary phase. As your sleep awareness increases at one instance you will go through these horrible sounds and horrible forms experiences like as though the house has collapsed or the house is on the fire. All these experiences happen for sure. Those who have gone deeper into meditation these things happen.<br />
Here you come to these horrible forms and horrible sounds but you continue. How to continue? You have to endure. The word in Sanskrit for endure is titiksha. Here comes titiksha. <br />
<br />
Last Thursday I explained to you the basic quality of a seeker. I will just go through it rapidly. First is attitude of learning. Those who do not have attitude of learning, systematic approach to learning they are not fit to be my students. I want only those students who are willing to work and learn systematically. That is the only way, there is no other way. That is a quality to become a student. Then you have to become a disciple. There is a difference between a student and a disciple. Disciple means your viveka has to bloom like a flower. Viveka means sense of discrimination should start functioning. You must be able to differentiate between what is truth and what is untruth, what is permanent and what is temporary, that aspect you have to understand. <br />
<br />
Second point after viveka is vairagya. Vairagya does not mean taking sanyas, running away from your home. It means detaching yourself from the fruit of the karma. The third aspect we talked was about the six wealth. The first wealth is called sama,- equipoise, balanced mind, not getting carried away, stithapragnya. Second quality is dama – controlling the senses not getting into the temptations. Temptations will be there but you are capable of holding on to your senses and not letting go and falling prey to the temptations. Yama, niyama, asan, pranayam. Pratyahar. Pratyahar aspect will do this. Pratyaahar means moving your senses back so that you don’t get lost into the temptations. Pratyahar has to happen for this. The third wealth is called titiksha. <br />
<br />
When the going gets tuff you have to endure, this aspect comes after Nijananda and Nirananda. The third level of Turya is known as parananda. Here titiksha becomes very important. You will not be able to endure this state; you will come out, sometimes screaming and shouting, full of perspiration you may wakeup from your sleep. This phase is a difficult phase. Most seekers if they are not guided properly can return back from this stage and you forget your experimenting of getting into high awareness during sleep state. Here comes the importance of titiksha, enduring without expectation and going ahead with full enthusiasm, lot of love and gratitude. All this put together in one word is titiksha. You have to endure with lot of enthusiasm without expectation. That is what you need to pass through this. <br />
<br />
Fourth wealth is called Uparati. Uparati comes in a technically correct way only when you maintain this high level of understanding. That is uparati according to me. There are many explanations but in Kashmir Shaivism terminology when we are talking, you have to maintain that high level of understanding. When that high level of understanding is coming, you go to sleep you can’t have the wealth of uparati. You have to learn, understand, only meditation is not enough, my dear friends, you will miss the point. With only meditation you will become ponga pandit. You will not become a Master. Dhyana and Gyan both go hand in hand. For that Gyan aspect you have to have that uparati, higher understanding and you should be able to sustain that higher understanding. That aspect is very important. That is the fourth wealth. <br />
<br />
Fifth wealth is that of shraddha. You are now getting into the unknown world, if you don’t have shraddha, you can’t walk into the unknown. From here onwards it is unknown you don’t know what will happen and you can’t know because you are exploring the unknown. There is no way to know. The only thing with which you can walk further is shraddha. The sixth wealth is called samadhan. Whatever happens and comes to you in a given session you should be happy with that. You don’t have to compare what happened to you and what happened to others, if you have that comparison aspect, criticism aspect, judgmental aspect you will miss the point. So samadhan – whatever came to you, whatever experience happened is prabhu-prasad. You have to have that attitude and have samadhan, contented with whatever happened but that divine discontent continues so that you walk the path. Don’t become alpa sukhi that is not samadhan!<br />
<br />
What is happening with many people in Mumbai, less in Mumbai, more out of Mumbai is that there are alpa sukhi people. Just a little glimpse they get and they are very happy and they don’t walk the path further. You have tremendous potential, you have to learn, and you have to walk further. You have to actualize your fullest potential, which is far off. Don’t become alpa sukhi. Samadhan means being happy with whatever happened now but you are willing to walk the path with more enthusiasm. That is samadhan aspect. These are called six wealth and third pillar. The fourth pillar is that of being a Mumukshatva. Not just a jigyashu. Jigyashu means curious or little inquisitive. Like, let’s see what is happening in TAO attitude. Jigyashu cannot go very far off. Little bit of inquisitiveness, little bit of curiosity will not take you far off. You have to become Mumukshu which means absolutely sincere, honest seeker, walking the path of moksha, having that divine discontent, moving further. It’s an eternal journey that is called Mumukshu. These are the four pillars, four basic qualities of seeker. <br />
<br />
So at the level after Nirananda your titiksha is really checked. If you have not learnt the basics and you move further you have to come back. If you don’t have systematic learning approach, you take shortcuts but as you move further you will have to come back because your basics are not clear. You have not done Level I properly which means you have not understood titiksha. You will have to come back from Level IV to Level I. you can’t progress that way. It’s called Chippiyawala baba, he makes a sound with the fork which he carries, walks three step further and two steps backwards. Sometimes two steps forward and three steps backwards and you wonder whether he is moving from there or not. He keeps walking but more or less in the same region. Many spiritual seekers are like that. They go two steps further and three steps backwards, sometimes three steps further and two steps backwards. You wonder whether you are actually walking the path. More or less you remain there. That is why systematic learning approach, learning in a proper manner is very important. <br />
<br />
So when you understand the real meaning of titiksha and you endure these horrible forms and the terrible sounds and the nightmarish experiences, your awareness will now become more powerful and you will really experience the bliss of breath and that bliss, the third level is known as Parananda, it’s the bliss of breathing. Parananda means you have gone beyond the normal early levels. You have now crossed your bhooth loka, pretaloka, pitru loka. Now your astral travel will go to much higher loka. Don’t think that this is your imagination. Your subtle bodies are actually experiencing in different dimensions and this is the place where your samskaras come into picture. All your past samskaras which also includes your fears, deep rooted fears, fear of unknown, your childhood fears all these will come up. You have to face them and as you face them they will disappear and then you will get into tremendous ecstasy. That ecstasy is called as Parananda. It’s a difficult phase and titiksha comes into picture. If you don’t know what titiksha is, it will be a very difficult phase for you. This is called third level of turya.<br />
<br />
The fourth level of turya as you move further from here, even during the wakeful state or during the sleep state you will see as you move further that at one point of time your breath gets choked up, as if you are no more breathing. When your breath gets choked up what meditation will you do, because the breath is not there and that becomes very fearful and the ego comes back! Then what to do? This is the level where your initiation comes into picture. When you are initiated in a systematic manner there is a live transmission of mantra and something more which you may not understand when you are initiated. But any Master who initiates, knows the secret of Turya. If you are initiated in a certain manner this is the level at which the initiation will start functioning. Your breath is not there but your synchronization of the mantra with your breath remains. Even if your breath is gone your mantra remains and that mantra will save you from the further fears of the unknown. Mananat trayati iti mantraha. That is why the mantra is associated with the breath in the initiation and it will protect you at that level. <br />
<br />
If you continue with the mantra, breath is not there, you will get into different kind of ecstasy, that ecstasy is known as Brahmananda. What is happening here? Why the choking up is happening? It is a very beautiful phase. How the ego annihilation happens you will understand with the seven levels of turya. At one particular point where the choking up happens, it’s like a death situation for you. In fact it is more than the death because your individuality gets lost and you become universal being. But when your individuality is lost it is like death, in fact more than death. At this level the breath starts whirling at lumbika sthan, it is the pit where the four holes meet behind the soft palate. There the whirling of the breath takes place and you may yawn and at that moment, you feel as if you are getting stroke. Your face can become crooked and you may experience death. In fact it is not death, it is more than death. <br />
<br />
With the death of body ego does not die. Here the death is not of the body but is the death of the ego. If you continue with awareness, at that level of awareness your ego will die. It is as good as facing the death. What you have faced earlier is much more than death. You face your death. Sometimes actually the face becomes crooked during these moments which other person can see and you feel as if you are leaving your body. That is a real death experience. Actually you are not leaving your body but in the process of meditation this is the point where the ego feels absolutely suffocated and annihilation of ego happens and individuality is lost. You become universal being. That is why Brahmananda. Your become part of Brahmanda. Your individuality is lost and you become the universal being. This level can be labeled as enlightenment, not the prior levels. All are life transforming experiences, all are blissful experiences but this is the level where the annihilation of ego happens. This can be considered as enlightenment. <br />
Brahmananda is the minimum level you have to come to where annihilation of ego takes place. Beyond that the whirling breath suddenly gets into the Muladhara and the full body becomes vibrant and absolutely joyous, that point is known as Mahananda – the great bliss. From here onwards the Kundalini Shakti automatically moves from the Muladhara in many different ways and it comes to third eye and you start understanding everything and it is a real experience. These are not imaginary experiences. If you do Chakrodaya dhyana, if you do the practice of Ajapa Gayatri and there are quite a few associated practices which you will learn in Dwarahat Shibir, you actually get these experiences. Almost everybody goes through similar kind of experiences. Some phases may be longer, some phases may be shorter but nevertheless you will pass through all these phases and you come to the automated process where the grace takes over, you don’t need to do anything. Up to this you have to continue with your practices. Beyond this it is the grace of existence, Master, Ishwara, life whatever. It is grace which is not in your control. These are the levels of Turya. <br />
<br />
Initially you went with the breath and at one moment your breath stopped but you continued with the mantra. At one moment your mantra gets dropped because the mind is not there, if there is no mind where is the mantra. Mind becomes subtle and converts itself into consciousness, awareness. When the mind is gone completely definitely the ego annihilation happens. Before the mind goes you have to pass through the troubles that are of the ego. Once you continue and come to the stage where the mind is not there, breath may start because that is the need of the body, choking up is gone and you start experiencing the bliss of consciousness, that is Chidananda. That is the experience of Samadhi called Chidananda. This is the sixth level of turya. If you turn back before that it means you are not actualizing your full potential, you have to go ahead. You have to go deeper and deeper into turya and you will come to these different levels. You have to go to the level of Chidananda. From here onwards you can’t fall. You have to go the level of Sadashiva and you will not fall. <br />
<br />
Last year more than a dozen scandals happened in India. All the TV channels and newspapers were full of scandals of all the Babas. Many people asked me this question, can an Enlightened Master do this kind of thing? No, Enlightened Master cannot do this, but then what is enlightenment? If you have crossed Chidananda level you can’t fall. But if you have just entered the turya and you are blissful, but that bliss is not the real bliss, it is not deep. From sixth level of turya that is the level according to the tattwas you are crossing Sadashiva. If you cross that, from there onwards you can’t fall back. Until then falling back danger is absolutely high and let me tell you that out of 100 people who get enlightened 95 people fall down. <br />
<br />
You actually feel the awakening is there, the bliss is there but that bliss does not sustain over a period of time, it goes away and then you wonder what happened to you. It means you have fallen down and it actually happens and the risk is very high. That is why this preparation is necessary. You have to understand what level of turya you have gone to, from which level you can fall back, from which level you cannot fall back. The level from where you cannot fall back is called the level of Chidananda, the sixth level of turya. If you have gone up to fifth you can fall back. Your enlightenment will be lost. Understand this. This happened to many. So if you think it has happened and you don’t walk further, you can fall back. You have to cross the level of Chidananda, the bliss of consciousness. If you experience that once this knowledge will become part of your system, and the understanding will not allow you to fall down. So, all those Masters who did all that nonsense were not real Masters. They had experienced the bliss to certain levels; they had not gone beyond Chidananda level.<br />
<br />
Anybody who has gone beyond Chidananda will not do so; there is no falling back from there. Shastras say so. Kashmir Shaivism has a very detailed description of this; you cannot fall back from that level. If you want to become a strong, genuine, real Master, not for the world but for your own growth you must look into these things and walk the path, go beyond this. There is something more than this also. Until this, whatever happens, all these levels are called Nimilan Samadhi in Kashmir Shaivism. These six levels are the part of Nimilan Samadhi. All are samadhis only. Patanjali describes Samadhi in different manner, in Kashmir Shaivism all these levels are levels of Nimilan Samadhi.<br />
<br />
Beyond that also there is a level. In the last one what happens is you get the bliss and the breath has started now. The breath blocked, the mind stopped, annihilation of the ego happened, all that is Nimilan Samadhi. Beyond that if you are able to sustain your awareness, bliss remains, ecstasy, joy remains. In that if you open your eyes you see everything around you are joyful, the joy remains and it does not go away with open eyes. Then again you close your eyes and you experience the same joy within. This opening and closing sometimes happens with when you exhale you go out with your eyes open, when you inhale your eyes close you experience your inner bliss. You experience the inner bliss with closed eyes and you experience the outer bliss with your eyes open and it keeps happening for sometime. Inside outside there is same bliss that is called karma-mudra. Krama - alternately this happens. This state of inside outside same bliss, with closed eyes also blissful, with open eyes also blissful, this level of bliss is known as Jagadananda, now you are expanding. This is the level where you have expanded awareness because you actually exist inside and outside this is the experience which happened with many of you in the ADP program. That is the experience of Jagadananda. <br />
<br />
Once this experience happens, it is permanently registered in your consciousness; you can’t fall down from there. That is the reason so much of motivation was given to come to this level. Once you experience Jagadananda, your consciousness registers that. It will not be easy to go down from there onwards. Major changes start happening in your life. Once this understanding comes you will not enjoy gossip, you cannot go down to the lower things, you will anyway not eat non vegetarian food, many things will just drop off from your system because this is such a powerful experience which get so deeply registered in your consciousness that the real changes will start happening in your life, it will be felt by you and seen by others. This is the real life transforming experience where the effects will be seen by others also. Now the permanent changes will come. Anything before this is impermanent. You can go back and you will forget about everything. Nothing will sustain. But with jagadananda experience, it is sustainable. You have to go to the level of Jagadananda. Karma mudra you have to pass through. This, in Kashmir Shaivism, is known as Unmilan Samadhi. This way all the seven levels of turya you have to experience.<br />
Many people read the scriptures and they understand and they discuss. Many Masters give discourses, those are recorded, transcribed and those chapters are discussed amongst the disciples and the whole lot feels that they are walking the path of spirituality. It is not so. This can be the biggest pitfall on the path. You are not walking the path when you start understanding these things intellectually. You are walking the path only when you do these practices and you pass through these experiences. Otherwise you may be hallucinating with your concepts and the intellectual understanding may not allow you to walk the path in reality. <br />
You are walking the path in reality only if you are passing through these experiences and that experience will give you the experiential understanding of the scriptures. Otherwise you will get into the intellectual understanding and you may miss the point completely and it will give you intellectual arrogance. So your sadhana part and your experiencing part have to go hand in hand with understanding aspect, both are supporting each other. Awareness has to increase through meditational practices with right kind of meditations and you have to have the understanding of this so that they both are helping each other for you to move and you have to come to a level where you can’t fall back. That is the way to experience seven levels of turya. We will have few minutes of meditation now so that you allow this knowledge to seep into your system. In meditation you remain aware from inside.<br />

These experiments are immensely significant and we need to appreciate the richness of the inner world.<br /><br />In the western countries, in past few hundred years lots of scientific experiments have happened leading to modern technological development, industrial revolution and so on. We must appreciate the usefulness of the modern technology (because of which you are able to read this!) but we must also understand that Industrial revolution, nuclear energy and modern technology have its own side effects in the form of destruction, if not used properly.<br /><br />The decisive factor is the human values which are directly connected to the evolution of consciousness. There is very thin line between need and greed. It is the greed of the human mind that has created trouble with the modern technology and not the technology itself. <br /><br />In the east, few people could scale great heights in consciousness…Examples: Patanjali, Astavakra, Krishna, King Janak, Buddha, Mahavira… (The percentage of this is very small) but the eastern masses remain more or less poor materially. Even today in most eastern developing countries the poverty levels are very high in villages and many suffer the lack of basic amenities. <br /><br />In the west, because of technological development, the material affluence could add to comforts of living but most people are hungry and thirsty of inner happiness in the midst of plenty in the material world! <br /><br />In a way east and west both are half and unhappy. The time has come to create a “Total Human Being” on this planet who is materially happy and spiritually happy too! My word for material affluence is “Billionaire”. It does not mean having Billions as bank balance but it represents material comforts for masses… It means availability of basic necessities of life without struggle, for everyone without any discrimination. And I choose “Enlightenment” as my word representing the peak of spiritual evolution. So, I use “Enlightened Billionaire” as a phrase for “Total Human Being” who is happy in material world and also happy in spiritual world. This is the ultimate potential of every human being on the planet earth. <br /><br />“Enlightened Billionaire” phenomena is happening on planet earth since more than five thousand years. King Janak was the first enlightened billionaire in the recorded history. He was king who got enlightened while discussing with sage Astavakra. Lord Krishna was “Enlightened Billionaire”. Absolutely kingly, rich, affluent materially at the same time his consciousness was awakened. He was “Enlightened Master” who was absolutely life positive who said yes to every aspect of life including material comforts, love and romance, peace and war and all types of yoga and everything. That is why we say Krishna, a purnavatar! He said yes to everything, that is enlightened billionaire. He is truly “Purna Purushottam” (Complete Human being and best amongst all). He convinced Arjuna do his duty of fighting for his rights, for establishing dharma. <br /><br />Siddhartha was a prince with all the material comforts but wanted to know the ultimate truth. He left his palace in search of truth… He got awakened and became Buddha! He understood the importance of walking the middle path and he promoted the same. <br /><br />When the consciousness is developed, the affluence is used for establishing Dharma. Riches are used for well-being of humanity. This is a wonderful attitude of “Enlightened Billionaire” which is most wanted on planet earth today. India has seen many industrialists with this approach. JRD Tata was one such industrialist who had human well-being as his core value. In modern India, Narayan Murthy and KC Shroff belong to this category. And there are many such enlightened billionaire, known and unknown… all over the world. <br /><br />In traditional oriental culture, sadhus, swamis, renunciates, lamas, saints… say no to material world and this aspect of renunciation (tyag, Vairagya, udaseenta) has been overly glorified. “Brahma satya, jagat mithya” (Consciousness is truth, world is illusion) is wrongly interpreted. The eastern cultural conditioning promoted by sadhus and swamis is you get enlightened only if you renounce the world. This is the general perception that masses have. Hence all those interested in spiritual evolution, even today, opt for dropping out from householder’s responsibilities and become sanyasi / monks. Because they do not earn their bread, they remain dependent on either their organization or some senior Swami who has resources to feed these monks. Sanyasi beggars’ days are gone. Modern spirituality is affluent -enlightened, and that is the concept we are starting. In the modern days even sanyasis need to work and earn their bread. <br /><br />We will understand through a story from Panchatantra (Andhe langade ki kahani....) (The story of Blind and lame); why people are not happy in this world… <br /><br />Once upon a time, there were two beggars. One beggar was blind and the other was lame. Both used to beg in daytime in town and at night time they would go in to the forest to rest. Once it so happened that the forest caught fire and all the villagers were worried that both the beggars will die as one was not able to see and the other was not able to walk. The blind beggar was feeling the heat of the fire, the lame beggar could see the fire but because he could not walk he was not able to run away. Suddenly both the beggars got the idea! The blind was not able to see but he could walk and his legs were strong. The lame person could see but could not walk, so they struck a deal. The blind person should carry the lame person on his shoulders. The lame person could see so he will guide the way, the blind person cannot see but could walk so he can run on the guided path. In this way both escaped from the fire of the jungle and had the blessings of life! <br /><br />Indian stories are not ordinary stories. They have tremendous spiritual insights in them. A materially affluent person who says “yes” to the material world is more like a blind person. He can walk because the resources are available but he can’t see because he doesn’t have the eyes to see. A sanyasi who says “yes” to spirituality develops the eyes, the vision to see, so he is able to see but to walk he needs the support of the resourceful person. That is why all the sanyasis are supported by the king or affluent person. A blind man cannot see and the lame cannot walk, so they have to associate. Always the humanity remained half and never became full, complete and that is the evolution that is required right now on the planet earth. Each person has to become integrated whole, total human being. A materially affluent person is blind; a spiritually rich person is lame. Both are half but when both of them come together, within you that is “Enlightened Billionaire”, only then you become complete. Monks and nuns are avoiding the material world; material world people are avoiding spirituality. Both are half and they both have to become total. Say “yes” to material world and say “yes” to spiritual world and be an Enlightened Billionaire and that is the ultimate that is possible. You will actualize your potential to the fullest! <br /><br />The time has come now for eastern countries to come out of this cultural conditioning and change the mind set. We have to re-arrange our life and change the mindset which says yes to affluence, which says yes to enlightenment - both. That is the real, total, complete human being. And, it is possible… for enlightenment one need not say no to material affluence. On the contrary the time has now come where material affluence and enlightenment has to go hand-in-hand to have that completeness in human aspect. Now the time has come when more & more people will have to lead by example – that affluence & enlightenment go hand-in-hand, and that’s the only way to live life in the modern era.<br /><br />Enlightened Billionaire is a one who will say yes to enlightenment and yes to affluence, richness, and resourcefulness. So we need to work on this aspect, change our attitudes, and change our mindsets. Don’t get carried away by the Enlightened Beggars (begging for material wealth) or Billionaire Beggars (begging for spiritual wealth) – both are beggars – understand this. We don’t want to be beggars; we want to be like King Janak, Enlightened Billionaire! Tremendous affluence outside, tremendous richness inside. That is the way to live life. We need to change our mindset. We have to come out of old mental patterns / engrams / conditioning / samskaras / psychic impressions… whichever word you understand! We have to create the new mindset where spirituality & affluence go hand–in–hand. <br /><br />To create enlightened billionaires on planet earth is a very big challenge. They have to work and be materially comfortable on their own and also simultaneously do spiritual practices for enlightenment. The right use of scientific technology we have, can make us materially affluent and the right use of spiritual technology that we have will make us rich spiritually form inside, at the level of consciousness. That is the way, more and more people can become enlightened billionaires!<br /><br />“Enlightened Billionaire” is a “REVOLUTION” of tremendous significance. Because we will be creating the new path on which millions more people will be walking in the future. We have to be the living example of this. We have to become what we are foreseeing. We have to be the change we want to see in the world! And we have to lead by example – We have to first create this possibility for us and we have to live life that will inspire thousand others! Our LIFE has to create the confidence and feeling in others, that yes, it is possible! <br /><br />If you see what is happening today, in general, most people are saying yes to material affluence, but they are not saying yes to enlightenment! They are not growing in consciousness. So, it is still poverty consciousness - they are not into the enlightened consciousness. Only the enlightened consciousness can be the prosperous consciousness.<br /><br />A major shift has to happen from “poverty consciousness” to “prosperity consciousness”. That is the main point! We have to work on our understanding through the spiritual technology and parallelly we have to work on our material affluence with right use of modern technology. This combination has the potential to create disease-free, healthy, wealthy human being. Selecting any one at the cost of other will mean that you are diseased & you cannot be happy. You will see all over people are not happy because either the consciousness is not developed or basic material needs are not met. <br /><br />So, we take a stand in favor of “Enlightened Billionaire”. We stand out. We take courageous step of saying “yes” to material well-being and “yes” to enlightened consciousness. This is the fundamental on which we will be working in “Enlightened Billionaire” workshop. “Enlightened Billionaire” is a 13 point program created by Prem Nirmal and promoted worldwide. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgza0fx6oJxvp5IKS-uiLd9CkIYfZTiM0e7_4SsZYnPVfNjByX8qU7gJ5kLCoauksRftXoNnBlDiWR8AuCrDBYD7ODiBTjAhzpxyJy3ENNynnOsiT3ofHowjDWZu6rWjmQbiwtQEYXGm_I/s1600/n586488689_1703457_7604%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgza0fx6oJxvp5IKS-uiLd9CkIYfZTiM0e7_4SsZYnPVfNjByX8qU7gJ5kLCoauksRftXoNnBlDiWR8AuCrDBYD7ODiBTjAhzpxyJy3ENNynnOsiT3ofHowjDWZu6rWjmQbiwtQEYXGm_I/s320/n586488689_1703457_7604%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465009114984283282" /></a><br /><br />We all are one in spirit.

That is the meaning of the word ascension. All the enlightened Masters have talked about the biological effects of the process of enlightenment without fail. Almost every Master has talked about it. The reason is even though they have not used the word DNA activation something of that sort happened to them. If you read Mary Lutyens’ book “The Open Door” the process of Awakening of J. Krishnamurty, you will see that there are lots of paragraphs were these biological effects or the effects on the brain, effect on the physiology, all these things have been described. U. G. Krishnamurty also talked about the same thing, all the effects which were biological in nature and it’s a fact. My Master Dada Gavand also explained what happened to physiology, he has mentioned that even the face cut changes; physiology changes to that extent. And it is my experience also. My face also changed a lot after the process of awakening. <br /><br />So there is an aspect of DNA activation. It happens as a bye-product of enlightenment. We need to understand from the scientific angle. If we consider the human body it has various organs, various systems and various subsystems. We go little deeper and come to the end of it which is a cell. It is a cellular thing. Inside the cell there is nucleus. If you enlarge with an electronic microscope the nucleus of the cell to a very large extent that is to the extent of the football ground then you see chromosomes. The chromosomes are the cashew shaped particles inside the nucleus. If you further enlarge, inside the chromosomes you see the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) normally represented in the biology books as two strand double helix structure. That is what is known as DNA. In the simplest language you can consider DNA as the basic blueprint of life. All the development that happens at every level including the physical, mental, emotional and causal… the blueprint of the entire thing is in the DNA. It means that all the coding is available inside the DNA and it is the DNA that decides how your life will go. Because each individual is programmed in a certain manner and that programming code are in the DNA that is why each one is so very unique. <br /><br />You see millions of people but you never see look alike because the DNA programming is different. Even if there are twins they are not 100% look alike even if they look alike, if you see the psychological attributes, their emotional attributes they are very much different. It means that our DNA coding makes us absolutely unique and that uniqueness has to be respected. We are all unique people and it is said that God does not like carbon copies. Who programmed the DNA? You can say that God programmed the DNA. But if you don’t want to use the word God you can say nature programmed it, a still better word is a source programmed it. In software language you can say that it is a source code because the source has programmed it and this programming has got your entire past and entire future as well and it has near infinite data. You can say almost infinite data because we don’t know how much, that is why we use the word almost infinite but it has to be limited but we do not know how much, that much information is there and modern science still has not been able to penetrate through all the secrets of DNA. <br /><br />Genetic scientists and other scientist are still working on it but still it is just a beginning compared to the information which is there inside the DNA. What modern scientists understand is a small part of the whole thing. A noble prize winner scientist has been working on it and when he went on expanding to see what is there inside, what was found was there were certain elements inside were active. But what they found was that there was a much bigger chunk and portion of DNA which was not active. They did not give any other name but the scientist talked that there is something called junk there. That is how the “Junk” word was used for the first time in DNA research. They used the word junk because that was non active portion of DNA but they saw that it does transfer and what is that is still unknown. Because it is not active that is why the word junk was used. <br /><br />As the research progressed the scientist made a statement that only 3% of the DNA is active and 97% is junk DNA. They started giving percentage also but still this is old stuff. As the research progressed they understood that the entire humanity has two strand double helix DNA and that makes us three dimensional creatures. But if you see 100 years back great spiritual scientist in theosophical society like Madame Blavatsky, P W Lead beater, Annie Besant, they were fantastic clairvoyants the world has ever seen. Amazing quality of clairvoyant ability they had. They had the ability to see the molecules with naked eyes. Scientist never believed and chemistry developed much later. But the molecular structure was seen by them with naked eyes and they had put it on to the paper. As chemistry developed after 20/30/40 years the scientists proved that whatever they had talked was right and they were having good idea of DNA activation as well even though the scientific terminology was not used by them but there were lots of indication that they knew this aspect without labeling it as DNA. What they have understood, the scientists will also understand or it would be right to make a statement that the scientists are now in the process of understanding what spiritual Masters were talking about 100 years back. Scientists are finding out these things. <br /><br />Because our DNA decides how capable we are, how evolved we are, as more and more percentage of DNA is activated a person goes higher and higher up in the evolutionary ladder, that is the fundamental understanding of evolution and DNA and there is a direct connection. How this DNA activation happens that is the basic secret which is not known to the world but it has been always been known to the Enlightened Masters and it is not a new thing. J. Krishnamurty had fantastic understanding of these things even though he did not know the language of DNA, whatever he talked was indicative of these things. <br /><br />All the theosophical Masters and Enlightened masters talked about strengthening the auric field around the physical body for well being and vitality. That is the first subtle body around the physical body. So the first level is if you have stronger aura your physical well being is maintained, and that is the basic requirement for a healthy body. The second subtle body is the astral body, what we call as colored aura. All the Masters have mentioned that your astral body should quieten down. It means that one should not get carried away by emotions. When we get carried away by the emotions, the scientific proof is it reflects as various colors in astral aura. If you see the aura of the Enlightened Master you see more of white, they don’t get carried away by their emotions. So the astral body has to quieten down. The next subtle body is the mental body. Average person’s mind keeps chattering which means that the mental body is active all the time. As you go deeper into meditation your mind will stop chattering. Beyond enlightenment it becomes difficult to make the mind chatter. Disassociation happens so much that sometimes the person needs to put efforts to associate with the mind and talk. It is for this reason that most of the Enlightened Masters after enlightenment keep quiet. Even talking requires too much of effort and they find it difficult to relate to people. That is why most of the people become quiet. 95% of the Enlightened Masters on the planet earth today are not talking the reason for this is that it becomes difficult to manage. Over a period of time when the enlightenment becomes stronger and you get rooted into that state it gains the capacity to manage the mind, to manage the memory then you manage to talk but it is difficult. That is why Masters keep quiet. <br /><br />So, strengthen the aura, quieten the astral body, quieten the mental body and there is one more aspect, the major chunk is the causal body. You have to remove the karmic debris from your causal body which is known as causal body cleansing (Karmakshalan). All our karmic entanglement is also related to our DNA that is how you meet people of certain kind, you enter into relationship entanglement of a certain kind, and these are all karmic. The karmic entanglement unfolds because of DNA. When these three bodies (Astral, mental and Causal) are cleaned and your understanding of seven body system happens which is experiential in nature, and you develop the awareness of the seven bodies. That is the way to activate the DNA. DNA is the guiding blueprint that tells you what to do. That is how development happens in the outer world. <br /><br />So the biggest chunk is in the form of causal body and the causal body cleansing is a major aspect of DNA activation. As you clean the causal body it activates your DNA. When your causal body is cleaned, further aspect of DNA opens up. It is not that it opens up all at a time. Now the scientist have started understanding that even though we have physically two strand double helix structure but all the Masters have understood is that basically what we have is a twelve strand double helix structure. Then why is there the difference of 10 strands? The difference is there in the understanding of scientist for a very fundamental reason that those ten strands are not physical. If it is physical then it can be seen by the electronic microscope but they are not in the physical. They are etheric. It means that they are in the subtle dimension and not in the physical dimension. But all the clairvoyants who are able to see the aura, see the astral body, see the mental body, see the causal body, they understand that these subtle bodies are influencing it. Same is the case with DNA. <br /><br />All the spiritual Masters understand how the ten strands are activated and as the DNA activation is more the person evolves faster. It is done by the cleansing of the sukshmadeha… The astral body, mental body and causal body. These are the fundamental things. Now that we have the basic understanding of DNA activation how do we do it? It is very simple. Many questions have come on the group also and people ask me how does Nirmal Kriya work and how does it lead to enlightenment? <br /><br />Let us understand the process as to how Nirmal kriya leads to enlightenment and also DNA activation so that ascension happens. Total technology of Nirmal Kriya we will discuss today. The first aspect is if you see that in Nirmal kriya all breaths are not equal. There are short breaths, there is a medium breath and there are deep-long breaths. These different types of breaths are to match the different types of frequencies of the chakras. So in the seven breaths you are pumping in the Prana into the chakras and it helps the chakras to open up. That is the fundamental thing. Theosophist Masters understood more than 100 years back that the humanity is stuck with the two strand double helix structure which is parallel to operating from Muladhara, Swadisthana and Manipura. Even as on today most of the people who are not meditators, if you see they operate from the basic three chakras only. When your energy moves from Manipura to Anahata you start loving people unconditionally and that is the most beautiful aspect. You don’t see a major percentage of population into that. Major percentage of population is competitive in nature, they will kill each other. There is no unconditional love. This quality is missing for the major percentage of the population. Very few people have managed to come to that level of understanding where they share unconditional love for the entire humanity. There are thousands of such people but if you see the overall percentage of population of humanity it is very small. <br /><br />When we do Nirmal kriya, the seven breaths are such that all the chakras open up and this is scientific in nature. We have 45 people data where we have captured this opening of the chakras on the camera and the process of Prana kundalini awakening can be now captured in the camera which I keep showing in every seminar and scientific congress and it has become popular and it has become accepted methodology by scientist, so scientific community understands. Kriya at the first level is strengthening your aura and opening your chakras. As you do more kriyas and the upper chakras open up, the color of your aura changes. All the photographs definitely show that the color of the aura changes after you do the kriya. It means that guaranteedly Nirmal Kriya cleanses your astral body and it quietens. So you gain control over your emotions and you don’t react to the situation. <br /><br />A common man reacts to the situation. An evolved person does not react to the situation. He will watch and have understanding and will respond in the right manner and that is maturity that is evolution. This will happen when the astral body becomes quiet. The normal stimulus will not arouse your emotions and you will not get carried away by the normal situation. You will stop reacting and you will start responding. As you do kriya and meditation, more kriya literally throws you into the state of meditation where your chattering mind stops. Let me share some deeper secrets of Nirmal kriya. How does it happen? In Babaji’s kriya yoga as it was given to Lahiri Mahasaya, there are two words which are very important. One is that the kumbhak is never to be performed, there is no kumbhak anywhere in the kriya but it is been said that if you do kriya properly “Kevali Kumbhak” will happen naturally as a bye-product of kriya. When you do so much of oxygenation by breathing process you come to a point where your body no more needs it. So suddenly your breathing stops and it happens automatically. That is why it is known as kevali kumbhak which means holding of the breath or arresting the breath and that happens naturally. That is the meaning of the word kevali kumbhak. Automatically it happens. One more important word used by Lahiri Mahasaya is sthiratva. Sthiratva means the steadiness or the poise that you get after the kriya. That is meditative awareness. Sthiratva means steadiness and the only steady thing is the consciousness, mind can never be steady. Immediately you become conscious of consciousness. That is the process of enlightenment and the mind stops, the breath stops and emotions stop and in that you remain aware because when you do so much of kriya you awareness increases. You can’t immediately sleep after the kriya. Many people who practice kriya at night they started complaining that they were not able to sleep. When you are in so much of high energy and in that state of high energy when you try to go to sleep, you will not get sleep. It means that guaranteedly after the kriya you are not sleepy, you are not breathing, you are not thinking and that is the state of kevali kumbhak which brings about sthiratva. <br /><br />In that sthiratva DNA activation happens naturally. This is because your aura is strengthened, your astral body is quietened, your mental body is quietened and the very process of kriya is Karmakshalan, it reduces your karmic burden. As you do more and more of kriya your causal body becomes clean. When these bodies become clean, proportionately the DNA activation increases. So few more etheric strands are activated. <br /><br />If you do kriya properly you start seeing the aura suddenly and it has happened to thousands of people world over. Even those who have not learnt the aura reading technique they have also told me that just by doing kriya and meditation they started seeing aura and hundreds of people have reported this. So if you do kriya properly your aura becomes stronger and with etheric strands activation you get clairvoyant abilities and you start seeing aura, astral body and it has happened to thousands of people world over. It is a natural bye-product. You are doing the DNA activation by doing the kriya. You go deeper and you develop the understanding of the entire process and let me tell you that at present it is the biggest missing link in our current evolutionary ladder. <br /><br />The missing link is that our vigyanmaya kosha has not developed enough. It means that our understanding has not developed enough. That is the reason why we are not able to sustain those magical qualities which are the bye-product of our DNA activation. The magical qualities that we are talking about are the clairvoyant abilities, telepathic abilities, ESP, mind reading, psychogenesis all these mystical things that you consider magical, are the natural bye-products of your DNA activation. As you do more and more of kriya, you go on strengthening your etheric body, you go on cleaning and quietening your astral body, your chattering mind stops and your causal body cleansing happens through the process of Karmakshalan. This very process does DNA activation. As more of etheric DNAs are activated which the scientist consider as junk, as that activation happens you start gaining the clairvoyant ability, telepathic abilities, seeing aura and chakras, mind reading ability, psycho kinesis ability and tremendous amount of healing ability. Magical healing from chronic diseases happens with DNA activation. Remission from cancer happens by DNA activation. A blind man can start seeing with the DNA activation. All these words though they sound magical are nothing but the natural bye-product of DNA activation. So if all the 12 strands of double helix structure are activated that is all the 10 etheric strands of DNA are activated what will happen, that is the meaning of the word ascension. <br /><br />When all these are activated you go to the higher bodies known as Divya Deha. What is the meaning of the word Divya Deha? Divya Deha is strengthening of the aura, astral body becomes white and there is no color, mental body also has no color and the causal body becomes clean. It means that the causal body is fully illuminated that is what is Divya Deha and that is ascension. That Divya Deha has the quality of immortality and if all the 12 strands of the DNA are activated, that is the process of ascension and that is the process of immortality. Then in the five dimensional structure you do not need the physical body. You go there with the Divya Deha and that is ascension and beyond 2012 to 2028 different people will ascend in different manner depending on how much DNA activation has happened. <br /><br />Minimum requirement is that your Anahata should be open. With the lower three chakras you cannot ascend. If your energy has moved from Manipura to Anahata and you become loving and you start sharing your unconditional love, unconditional forgiveness for all those who have done harm to you; that is the quality of Anahata. You drop out of competitiveness; there is no enmity with anybody; that is the minimum quality. When the mass ascension happens such people will be easily absorbed by that light beam that will lift the people from three dimensional world to put them in five dimensional world and it will further activate the DNA in half an hour time which will take you to the fifth dimension. This is the first type of ascension. The second type of ascension is of those whose Vishuddhi chakra is fully activated, they are the Masters of space element and they can go in meditation faster, they can quieten the chatter of the mind faster, they will be able to ascend on their own. It means anybody who can stay in the state of non thinking for about 45 minutes will ascend on their own. Nothing is to be done. Those whose third eye has opened perfectly well and whose Sahasrara is also activated, it means that their pineal and pituitary gland are perfectly activated those people will be absolutely comfortable in the fifth dimensional world and no process is required to be done by the ascended Master. <br /><br />They are the ascended Masters and they can go there but there is a magical quality in that. They can come back to the third dimensional world manifest their physical body, do what the need be and disappear in the fifth dimension and come back and appear. It means that these people can travel between the third dimension and fifth dimension. These are not imaginary things and Mahavatar Babaji is doing this thing even today and he has been doing it for many years and there is a total history to that. Many people do not understand that Mahavatar Babaji is the name of the consciousness; it is not the name of any specific body. When such a great consciousness which cannot be bound by the physical body, when it takes the human body, that very human form is a limitation and that is why we call it Ansh avatar. Ansh means small portion of that consciousness is available in that human form. The total consciousness cannot come in the human form because that very human body is a limitation. But Mahavatar Babaji can appear in any body. he has the capacity to create any human body at will, that created body is called Nirman Kaya, you can call it as fabricated body but it is not fabricated in a factory but one which is fabricated with their yogic power, they create the body and with that body they do work in the third dimension, the moment the job is done the third dimension body disappears. <br /><br />All the ascended Masters are working like this and thousands of people on the planet earth have seen this magical quality which we call Mahavatar energy. What is working now is called Mahavatar energy, which can come in the vision as Mahavatar Babaji or it can come in any particular body. My first encounter with Mahavatar Babaji happened in 1996. He was in physical form in a beggar’s body but the communication was happening at telepathic level. My wife was standing next to me. I was seeing that physical body but my wife could not see. It was Nirman kaya and the three dimension proof of it is… after giving me the message and the blessings he asked for money. He said that give me something I want to enjoy Chinese food. I put my hands in the pocket and whatever note came in hand I gave to him and it all disappeared in the air that is what my wife saw. I saw him taking it. That was the physical proof. There are people who have received something from Babaji and they have kept it. One person got a locket from Babaji. The Masters do this to remove doubts from your conscious mind. Your conscious mind does not have the capacity to understand this and so a doubt arises. To remove this doubt the masters do some magic in the physical reality, in the three dimensional reality so that you have no doubt about it. <br /><br />But all the ascended Masters have the magical quality of coming down to the three dimensional reality, the physical world, helping the humanity to ascend and disappear. Thousands of people today on planet earth have been guided by Mahavatar Babaji to the extent that many people don’t even know that they are been guided by Mahavatar Babaji. They say that some yogi came and taught us this. They don’t know who that yogi is because Babaji is working through many yogis and there are many Masters and thousands of people are been guided and they are all helping us to activate our DNA. <br /><br />Nirmal Kriya it is not a breathing exercise. The breathing exercise is a very small portion of kriya. But as you do meditation you understand kevali kumbhak, you understand sthiratva, you understand the quietening of the astral body and mental body and you understand the cleansing of causal body. This entire process is the process of DNA activation that leads to ascension. In short enlightenment process, ascension process and DNA activation they are all similar process which is the process of evolution to go higher up on the ladder. That is how the secrets are. Humanity has got a fantastic chance to activate all the DNAs and ascend because as we are approaching 2012 our solar system is approaching the Sirius star which is the fifth dimensional star, it’s a scientific reality and we are not talking of some mumbo jumbo hotchpotch spirituality. The vibratory levels of the earth are going up. Earth also has its DNA activation. Earth is a living, throbbing planet and it is alive. It has its entity also. Earth is not a dead planet. We have a relationship with the Mother earth and we are the children of mother earth. How to understand this in simple language? <br /><br />If a child is inside the mother’s womb all the emotions of the mother are experienced by the child, the child gets influenced by mother’s emotions during pregnancy. Whatever the mother thinks influences the child. It means the mother’s etheric body and stronger aura makes the child healthy. Mother’s emotional body will create the emotional body of the child. Mother’s mental body will create the mental body of the child which means whatever vibrations are there on to the mother will definitely reflect on to the child. It is a known fact. Take this as an analogy. Now what happens to the mother earth at the DNA activation level, at the vibratory level, because we are connected whatever is happening to the consciousness of the mother earth, as far as the DNA activation of the planet itself is concerned we are sharing everything. So as our planetary system - solar system - including the mother earth is moving to the high vibratory Sirius star, five dimensional star, whatever changes are happening to the mother earth are happening to us directly because we are sharing the bond and because our solar system is physically moving towards that state this is a time where ascension is not voluntary. This is the time where ascension is mandatory which means compulsory. You have no option because the entire solar system is physically moving towards the fifth dimension. It is kind of spiral which opens up and becomes bigger and bigger and comes to a certain level of evolutionary ladder. Everybody on the planet earth will have to learn to increase their vibratory levels. <br /><br />So far we have learnt the methodology at the mental body level. Visualization, imagination was useful processes few years back. Those processes prepared us and we could anticipate. Now those processes are no ore useful. In fact all the mental constructs are obstructions to your ascension. Mental constructs is the garbage in the mental body and that garbage needs to be cleaned. So the old methodologies are no more useful. <br /><br />You have to understand the entire process of enlightenment that is Nirmal Kriya. The word ‘Nirmal” means no impurity. “Nir” means negation and ‘Mal’ mean impurities. Where are the impurities? The impurities are in astral body, mental body and causal body. These are the three bodies where the impurities are there. As you do Nirmal kriya all the three bodies are cleaned up so you become nirmal, pure, impurities are gone and when the impurities are gone it is called “Nirmal Syhiti” where the DNA activation happens and if the DNA activation happens the higher qualities of the fifth dimension comes to you naturally. That means the Nirmal kriya leads ultimately to DNA activation and this is a simple scientific fact. All those who are doing it regularly they are experiencing that lot of cleansing is happening, karma cleansing happens, miraculous cure from fears and phobia have happened in hundreds of recorded cases and miraculous recovery from cancer has also happened. Scientists are now analyzing this data as to how it happens. DNA activation will lead to this kind of miraculous recovery. Scientists, now know about it and only thing that was missing was simpler process to do that. <br /><br />Nirmal Kriya is the simplest process for DNA activation. It is so simple to do, practical and does not take much time. You can do alone or you can do in a group there is no compulsion of any kind. You don’t need any gadget. Once you have learnt it properly, you can do it on your own. Then when you do it the cleansing will happen. The more the cleansing happen the DNA activation happens. So this is a very simple practical down to earth methodology of DNA activation. But what is more important is that Nirmal Kriya should not be treated as a breathing exercise. Some people are making this grave mistake. Nirmal kriya is not a breathing exercise, my dear friends. You start as breathing exercise but it is the process of enlightenment which cleanses the three bodies, strengthens your aura, cleanses astral, mental and causal bodies, and leads to DNA activation which leads to ascension. So in a way Nirmal Kriya is a process of enlightenment. If you do the breathing mechanically, it will not work. There are many people who have talked to me. Even today I got an email from Hyderabad saying that I was enjoying kriya and suddenly today morning I did not enjoy the kriya. Did I do something wrong? If you are using Nirmal kriya as a mechanical device of breathing, it does not work. <br /><br />The missing links are two. One is the ‘Understanding’ that I am giving which is a part of the kriya. Many people do not understand. They think that breathing is the kriya. Breathing is not the kriya. This “understanding” is the major chunk of kriya which develops the vigyanmaya kosha. If your vigyanmaya kosha is not developed ascension cannot happen. It means that understanding is compulsory. You cannot side track understanding in ascension. You have to come to this level of understanding and this simpler aspect was communicated through Panch Pakoda concept. The first Pakoda is karma yoga and everybody does that. Second is kriya yoga and you are doing it. Third is dhyana yoga and that also you are doing. Most of the people today on the planet earth are doing Dhyana yoga. But the fourth Pakoda is Gyan Yoga but that is not happening because there are not many Masters who are giving this understanding. That understanding is the necessary aspect of Nirmal Kriya. That is what is developing the vigyanmaya kosha. Without that ascension is impossible so that is the first missing link. <br /><br />And the second missing link is awareness development. Unfortunately nobody is teaching these things. How to develop awareness which leads to ascension? But before you can develop your awareness this basic understanding has to be there. Just by doing breathing exercise nothing much can happen. You can strengthen your aura. So physical well being is there for even those who are doing it mechanically but rightly. They will have physical advantage but they will not ascend. Breathing exercise cannot lead to ascension. So don’t treat Nirmal kriya as breathing exercise. That is a grave mistake some people are making. It is the process of enlightenment, ascension and DNA activation. It happens by strengthening your aura and cleansing your astral body, mental body and causal body through the process of understanding and awareness development. Without this ascension is not possible. We are trying our best to promote the understanding and awareness aspect. But because the people in general on the planet earth are still not ready for this. People fail to understand developing of the vigyanmaya kosha. That is the understanding aspect. Not many Masters know how to clean the casual body. It is only the grace of Babaji that we got Karmakshalan vidhi. So you can clean the causal body and the moment the causal body is clean, it is fully illuminated, if it is fully illuminated it means that you have ascended. Ascension means going out of the clutches of karma. So your causal body has to be cleaned. All our troubles are karmic and once those troubles are gone the fears and phobias are gone, remission from cancer happens as it is all karmic. That is why this methodology is so very important. <br /><br />I meet many scientists. Last time I was there in the scientific congress where the scientist from world over came. They are keen on understanding how it happens. Today’s talk tells you in a very simple language how DNA activation happens. What is Nirmal kriya? It is not breathing exercise. It is much more and those who are avoiding the understanding and awareness development will not get the benefit of Nirmal Kriya at all because that is part and parcel of kriya. So teachings are important and along with the teachings Gyan yoga has to be there, that is what will open your understanding. Your vigyanmaya kosha will start strengthening and that will help you to sustain your awareness. Without this understanding neither the awareness development can happen nor can it be sustained. These are the basic secrets of DNA activation. <br /><br />Shivoham, <br /><br />Prem Nirmal<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="viadeoBlog">

It means that as long as you are under the effect of karma and as long as you are in the wheel of birth and death ascension is not possible. What is the hindrance to ascension? The hindrance to ascension is your karmic load. Unless you know how to finish off your karmic load, your kitty of sanchita which is full, ascension cannot happen. That is why we give so much of importance to karmakshalan vidhi. I have seen the effect of karmakshalan on many. Before karmakshalan they are not able to understand. After karmakshalan they are able to understand. This is so because there was some heavy karmic load, you can say a karmic stone, on their intellect, which was not allowing them to understand. Once that karmic load is gone the same person is now able to understand. That is the magic of karmakshalan. <br /><br />Akashik records are in the causal body, karana deha. Causal body is around your physical body somewhere around 8 feet (and it can be bigger or smaller, developed or underdeveloped depending on how evolved you are). How does a clairvoyant know whether the person is evolved or not? The clairvoyant sees the causal body. If the causal body is well developed in the sense that it is well illuminated, there are no black patches, then that person is evolved. If it is fully illuminated, there are no black patches in his causal body then that person is considered to be enlightened, Ascended Master. That illuminated body in Indian context is Divya deha. Divya deha means the causal body is fully illuminated. That is ascension. How to create Divya deha, the light body? The light body is poor translation of Divya deha. Divya means much more than light, it is not only light, it is radiating, it is not only radiating, it is spiritual aura with all its qualities. This is the meaning of the word Divya. <br /><br />When your causal body is fully illuminated you have got into Divya deha. Many people say that this Divya deha is also Vajra Kaya. Vajra means strong, that which cannot be destroyed. Naturally that Divya deha, light body cannot be destroyed. It means you are immortal, that body becomes immortal, you are into Vajra kaya, immortality and that is true. The path to that is the cleansing of the causal body and the debris in the causal body are your karmas. That is why so much importance is given to karmakshalan. The whole world, the entire humanity is caught up into the karmic effect of birth and death. That is why the soul comes back so many times. It is because our karmas guide us. All intelligent people try their best but still they suffer because they have no control over their prarabdha. We suffer or we enjoy because of our karmas. Good karmas give good results and you enjoy. Bad karmas give bad results and you suffer but you are very much under the grip of karmas. Ascension means to go out of the grip of karmas. So you have to learn karma delete exercise, understand and do, so that you can come out of the effect of karmas. When you come out of the effect of karma fully you have got Divya deha and that Divya deha is nothing but ascension, when you are no more under the effect of karma. Why is it a big deal? The reason for that is very simple. <br /><br />Let is understand in short the seven body concept. First body is the physical body, anamaya kosha, second is aura about two inches that is called pranamaya kosha, third is the emotional body, the colored aura, (BHavanamay Kosha) it is also called astral body. Fourth is the mental body (Manomaya Kosha) the thought body where your thoughts are seen. Fifth is the causal body, karana deha. Sixth is the cosmic body from where comes ‘Aham Brahmasmi, tattwam asi’, this comes from the experience of the causal body and the seventh one is the nirvanic body, the total dissolution from where you don’t have to come back. Nirvana – no desire. It means there is no coming back. You don’t need the physical body, there is total dissolution and that is ascension. <br /><br />Let us understand where the trouble in ascension is. Our three bodies, the emotional, mental, and causal bodies are highly polluted. They are polluted not only because of our actions. They are polluted because there is lot of thought pollution, emotional pollution in the environment. For eg when you are traveling by train you are feeling absolutely fresh but the thought pollution and emotional pollution is there in the train, you will pick up that and by the time you reach your office you are polluted, you are irritated. You are picking up this negativity and you remain under the effect of karma. So your causal, mental and emotional body needs to be cleaned by removing all the negativity, the karmic debris, the thought emotional energy debris from these three bodies. That is a big job and there is lot of work to be done. <br /><br />How do we do it? It is very simple. Do lot of Nirmal Kriya. So your Prana Shakti will get awakened, do it with gratitude so that you are ready to awaken your Anahata. If you don’t practice gratitude your energy will not move from Manipura to Anahata. That is why gratitude is absolutely a must. With that do meditation and you settle in a state of non thinking. You must get into pure silence with total awareness. That is meditation. Your mind should not chatter. There should be no thoughts and you must keep the mind absolutely quiet. That is meditation. In that meditation you are cleaning your emotional and mental body. Thoughts and emotions become quiet which means your third body and the fourth body cleansing will happen. If you do it for sufficiently longer period as daily sadhana practice on a regular basis increasing your time then you will not be unnecessarily excited emotionally in your day to day life. Your mind will not chatter unnecessarily. If you keep quiet, you sit silently. If you have to talk you have to use your mind and that is perfectly fine. That is called total mind control. You become the Master of your mind. If you want to use the mind, use the mind properly or tell your mind to shut up. Your mind should not chatter. That is called mastery of the mind. Then your mental body gets cleansed. <br /><br />So your emotional body gets cleaned first, no hatred, and no jealously, no competition. You see Shiva in everyone. Your emotional body becomes quiet. You are meditating so your mind becomes quiet. Now you are ready for karmakshalan. Karmic debris are still there. Your causal body is not illuminated. Then you do karmakshalan. It is a proper methodology and you all have gone through it and you understand it. People who have not undergone this karmakshalan vidhi will not even understand these things. World at large does not know how to come out of karmic effects. They don’t understand what karmakshalan vidhi is. No Master is giving this. Nobody knows about it. It is just the grace of Babaji that we got this methodology. Not many people know about it. When you do karmakshalan your causal body becomes clean and fully illuminated. That is the way to build your Divya deha. <br /><br />Your causal body starts getting illuminated. If there is karmic debris there is a black patch. If that karma is deleted it becomes illuminated. When your full causal body gets illuminated you are into Divya deha. It means your ascension has happened. Emotional, mental and causal body is clean. So you are fully illuminated. That illuminated person has already ascended because there are no karmas and you are not in the effect of karmic cycle of birth and death. You have gone out of that and you have ascended. Ascended person will not necessarily disappear. That is a rare kind of ascension. Ascended person will do his job and live life like a Jeevan Mukta. Keep doing your job, help humanity, have healthy relationship everywhere, no hatred, no jealousy, no competition. Even if people misunderstand have compassion, explain the same thing many times, and remove their misunderstandings because they are under the effect of karma. Their pragya (intelligence) is not developed so from that level they will definitely misunderstand, it is expected. Buddhas are compassionate, repeatedly going back, making people understand and slowly lifting them. That is the job of a Buddha, making people understand that only meditation is not enough, understanding, awareness development is wanted. Ascension will happen. We need to do these things because from December 2012 onwards as earth moves towards the photon belt, vibrancy of the planet earth will go up and you have no choice. Ascension is mandatory, don’t think that you may or may not. This whole thing may continue up to 2028 and beyond. Whole humanity will have chance to ascend enmass because the entire planet earth, including our solar system is coming to the fifth dimensional space. The movement of our solar system in the space is not just circular but spiral that opens up as it moves upwards and we are coming to a level where the whole solar system will enter the fifth dimension. <br /><br />Let us understand what this fifth dimension is. Right now we are in third dimension where time and space are fundamental and even though they are relative we consider it as real. The time is real for us. Space is three dimensional. Movement in space takes time that is the fundamental of third dimension. That is the Einstein’s theory of relativity. From the “Kriya-Kundalini Yoga” point of view, if the Muladhara, Swadisthan and Manipura chakras are open you are in third dimension. When your energy moves from Manipura to Anahata and Vishuddhi you are in the fourth dimension. When you move to Agnya you are in the fifth dimension. Before you can ascend your Anahata has to be opened. It means that the Babaji’s teachings of “Unconditional love, unconditional forgiveness” are the most important aspects and great lessons to be learnt. Only then your energy moves to Anahata. You have to learn to operate from Anahata only then ascension is possible, not otherwise. <br /><br />When the entire humanity starts working from Anahata the negativity will go. All the negativity is in the below three chakras. Insecurity of basic needs is in Mooladhara. Hatred, Jealousy etc. is in Swadisthan. Ego, competition, ambition are in Manipura. Whole humanity is stuck with basic three chakras. If everybody starts operating from Anahata there will be only love, forgiveness, no competition, only harmony which means negativity can go away from the planet earth. So your emotional body will become clean naturally. If there is no hatred, competition, jealousy, anger, fear what will happen? What if it is not there in the environment also? Your emotional and mental body will become clean and with your wish to let go of your karmic cycle of birth and death, with understanding… you are out! So the ascension will become that easy. As we go beyond 2020 by 2028 almost everybody will ascend. Many ascended Masters will be able to go to the fifth dimension and those who are fully aware will also have the capacity to come back to the third dimension, work and help others and take them to fifth dimension. They will become the guides for third dimension. Our job at TAO is to create thousands of such guides who will go to fifth dimension and are capable of coming back to third dimension, helping others and taking them to the fifth dimension. You need Masters. But before we can do that our emotional and mental and causal body cleansing has to be done. <br /><br />We have to develop understanding and awareness and settle into that state. As the earth moves into the photon belt and the vibrancy rises you have to remain conscious. You should not become unconscious because of the high energy photon belt. If you remain conscious then the ascension has already happened. Your physical body may or may not remain; it may get transcended in a new Divya deha. But you will have that capacity that with awareness you come back to the third dimension and manifest your physical body as you want. You can work and again disappear. Mahavatar Babaji comes, manifests the physical body, gives the knowledge and disappears. I did not create this Nirmal kriya; he came and gave me in Divya deha. The first time he appeared to me he was in Nirman kaya (body fabricated with yogashakti, for temporary purpose). He can come, appear, talk, give knowledge, give message and disappear. <br /><br />So it is possible to go from one dimension to other dimension. That is ascension. There are many Ascended Masters and there is huge cosmic game plan and the great Masters are helping us to ascend. There is tremendous movement there. Lots of preparations are happening. As we are moving towards 2012, as we are moving towards the fifth dimensional star called Sirius, we will have a new system which we cannot even imagine. It will be two or more suns system. We are only one sun system now. As we move, we may have two suns or more and we can’t imagine because we are too much accustomed to this. But when the entire solar system is getting into new dimension those who are aware will go out of the clutches of karma with the right understanding, instantly. But you must be willing to understand. But if your understanding is not developed, the one who is not willing to understand, who is not willing to learn… these people will remain and even if the planet earth does not exist in the three dimensions as it is, we can’t imagine what will be there, these people will still remain in the karmic circle. They may be on this earth or they may be on some other three dimensional earth. <br /><br />The Masters have mentioned that everybody will not understand. There are some people who are simply not willing to understand, attitude of learning is missing, and are not willing to put any effort for higher learning. Those people will remain under the karmic effect. Those who are clean, whose astral body, mental body, causal body are relatively clean with simple understanding and awareness development they will suddenly get into the illuminated body with simple practices like karmakshalan vidhi. It is the grace of our Masters, what we call Mahavatar energy. Mahavatar energy is functioning in a very big way on the planet earth now. It is guiding humanity for ascension. There are many energies like we call Krishna as the energy of Purna avatar. We say Purna avatar when we speak of Krishna as a person, but when we speak of Krishna as a consciousness or Christ as a consciousness we call it as Krishna consciousness or Christ consciousness or Buddha consciousness, They are Purna avatars. Complete perfected enlightened beings. They have done their job on the planet earth. <br /><br />Now one step higher than that is the energy of Mahavatar energy. What has happened so far is the work of Purna avatar. What is happening now is the work of Mahavatar. What is Mahavatar? When the source level energy comes down and starts guiding humanity and that guidance is not necessarily in the human form. The guidance may come in the form of intuition to you for your personal growth. The guidance may come as astral travel, out of body experience, the guidance may come to you as the channeled message or the guidance may come to you from an enlightened Master. Enlightened Masters can pick up the Mahavatar energy directly and it is available to thousands of people. I have met people who have discussed with me that they have received messages from Mahavatar Babaji. There are lots of people who have learnt different kriyas from Mahavatar Babaji. It is the energy which is working and guiding thousands of people on the planet earth. If you are keen, if you are honest, if you are available, if your intentions of helping humanity is genuine you can become part of that energy instantly. It is so much available. Your emotional, mental and causal body has to be clean so that you can attract the grace of the Masters, you can connect to that Mahavatar energy directly and that Mahavatar energy is guiding all of us. <br /><br />There is one more subtle aspect to this. Yukteshwar Giri, Master of Swami Yogananda is an ascended Master and he is working from Hiranya loka. Loka is a particular frequency locale in scientific terminology. We are in Bhuloka, it is also known as mrityu loka because whosoever is born will die. Bhuloka is not the loka of immortality. Fifth dimension is immortal. So those who transcend and go to fifth dimension they become immortal. Hanumanji, Markendaya Rishi, Aswathama, Kripacharya are all ascended Masters. They were in third dimension but with their capacity they went to fifth dimension and they have become immortal. So immortality is not in the third dimension, it is in the fifth dimension. Those who transcend and go to fifth dimension they become immortal. They can appear, do the job and disappear. This is mrityu loka, the body is bound to die. But they manifest their body like Hanumanji can manifest the original body, do the job, appear and disappear. There are people who have met Hanumanji, Aswathama, kripacharya and Mahavatar Babaji in different bodies as he manifests different bodies. He can come in any body, give you the message, guide you and disappear. That is the quality of fifth dimension. If your consciousness has gone to fifth dimension you get that quality. <br /><br />So this is Bhuloka. Bhuloka is the earth dimension. Bhuvarloka is the lower astral. Higher astral is called swargaloka. Higher than that is called Hiranya loka which is fifth dimension. There the karmic effect is completely gone. In swarga you enjoy the fruits of your karma, but this upper astral is part of the karmic cycle, when you complete that you go to Hiranya loka. The word hiran is used because Hiran means golden, there the light is golden and eternal and there is no day and night and it is eternally lit, immortal beings are there. That is the fifth dimension. There you have to complete your astral karmic work and from there you go to the causal loka, Mahar loka. Mahar loka is more like Hiranya loka. If you do more penance you start going to higher lokas that is jana, tapo and satya loka. Beyond that is the akshar loka, nirakshar and mahashunya or mahasurya or paramdham loka. Paramdham means from where you cannot come back. This is how the process of ascension happens. You go into subtler worlds and then completely disappear, merge into the existence. That is the process of ascension. <br /><br />Then what about the Akashik records? They are there in all the akashas. All the akashas need to be cleaned so that the records get deleted. When your files are deleted completely it is called ascension. This is the right understanding of ascension and Akashik records. For a common man it boils down to coming out of competitiveness, hatred, jealousy and negative emotions. It means coming out of negativity. That is the first fundamental. Emotional negativity, mental negativity, causal negativity, one has to come out of all these and move into unconditional love, purity of mind, moral character, right behavior, right talking, right thinking and then non thinking, complete silence. There should be no chattering mind. That is the way to prepare your self. Simultaneously you have to do lot of meditation so that you can understand. Develop your understanding and awareness and ascension will happen. That is the entire science of ascension and Akashik records. <br /><br />Thank You!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="viadeoBlog">

Ascension means to go to <br />high frequency realms where you are not affected by your karma. In <br />those high frequency realms you are not part of the cause and effect law of <br />nature. Those who drop out from the wheel of birth and death, those who drop out <br />from the karmic effect of the natural law of cause and effect, such people are <br />known as Ascended Masters. <br /><br />Ascension means to go beyond the circle of birth and death. There are two types <br />of ascensions. One is the etheric ascension, the person physically disappears <br />into the high frequency realms and the best example is Tukaram. The second type <br />of ascension is called spiritual ascension where in the physical body you live <br />like a Jeevan Mukta and lot of work can be done on the planet earth. This is a <br />far more important aspect of ascension. All Jeevan Muktas are Ascended Masters. <br />They are in physical body but they are ascended. They are no more part of the <br />karmic effect. What we are discussing in this series is total technology of <br />ascension. How everybody can come to a level where you can drop out from the <br />circle of birth and death. If you can come out of the karmic effect you can come <br />out of the karmic bondage. This is what we are discussing. <br /><br />In this context we have to understand akashik records. Clairvoyants are able to <br />see various subtle bodies around the physical body. More than 100 years back a <br />great team of spiritual Masters came together under the banner of theosophical <br />society. Madame Blavatsky, C W Leadbeater, Annie Besant, they were all great <br />clairvoyants and all of them were capable of seeing the subtle bodies. Around <br />the physical body there is etheric body called aura that is the second body. <br />Around that there is colored aura called astral body. That is the third body <br />also known as emotional body. All our emotions reflect as particular color in <br />astral body, astral aura or colored aura. Around that there is fourth body <br />called mental body where all our thoughts are seen. The thoughts have form, <br />texture and color and they can be seen in the mental body. The fifth body is the <br />causal body, karana deha. Causal body has all your karmic files, all your karmic <br />records, not only of this birth but the karmic records of all your previous <br />births. All these things are there in the causal body and all the clairvoyants <br />are able to see your karmas in your causal body. Beyond that when you drop out <br />from these things there are two more bodies called cosmic body where the <br />expansions are felt. That is the body from where the yogi utters Aham Brahmasmi, <br />I am the Brahman, I am the cosmos. Tattvam asi, you are also that; that is <br />cosmic body. Where the total dissolution happens, there is no coming back that <br />is called nirvanic body. Nirvana means "no desire". When you are left with no <br />desire whatsoever, you are in the nirvanic body, where other bodies are totally <br />clean and there are no further desires. After the death that divine spark <br />because it has no desires, there is no body required and it is gone forever, <br />ascended. That is the meaning of ascension, there is no coming back on the <br />planet earth. <br /><br />Clairvoyants had always been able to see these things and now that the <br />technology and science is developing with modern kirlan cameras, aura chakra <br />scanning, PIP photography they are able to see the second body, the pranamaya <br />kosha, the third body called astral body or emotional body where you see the <br />aura they are able to capture in the camera. They are able to see the chakras <br />also. They are not seen but are simulated in a way which is quite closer to how <br />the clairvoyants would see the chakras. So the technology has been developed to <br />this level already and it is becoming quite popular. In next level of technology <br />with cameras you will be able to see the mental body and causal body. The <br />scientist will very soon develop this technology where you will be able to see <br />the karmas and get the karmic records printed, you will get hard copy. Like the <br />horoscope you have aurosope, seeing your aura colors they give you the printouts <br />regarding various aspects of your life. Similarly you may have karmascope which <br />will give you details of karmic effects you are suffering from etc, if the <br />technology develops to that level. So the clairvoyants have always been able to <br />see and these people have helped the scientist to develop the technology. The <br />scientists are now developing new sensors where they are able to capture very <br />fine frequency vibrations. That is what these subtle bodies are. The higher up <br />you go, it becomes subtler. If you can capture that subtle, computers can <br />reproduce on the screen. That is what technology is all about. So technology is <br />becoming more and more subtle. So you are able to capture subtler things. That <br />is one aspect. <br /><br />Where are these bodies? For this we need to understand a concept. In the <br />physical space there are lots of subtle spaces. Each body is in that particular <br />corresponding space. This space is not ordinary space. Time space dimension is <br />the physical space. In the physical space there are subtle spaces known as <br />sukshma akasha. So when you see the aura, in which layer of akasha do you see <br />the aura? Prana akasha. There is Prana but why everybody is not able to see? But <br />In this institute (TAO) there are more than 1200 clairvoyants. Probably this is <br />the world's biggest group of clairvoyant ever on the planet earth. So you can <br />see the pranamaya kosha. There is a special space in which you can see. <br />Everybody does not see. It is very easy to see. It is very close. It is almost <br />physical. In fact in Indian scriptures anamaya kosha and pranamaya kosha are <br />considered together. J. Krishnamurthy talked about aura as heat of the physical <br />body and it is very true. <br /><br />In which space do you see colored aura? There is a space in the space. In side <br />the physical space there is subtle space that is astral space. In the astral <br />space you see colored aura. If you develop the subtlety to go to the astral <br />space then you can see the colored aura. In aura workshop everybody is not able <br />to see the colored aura immediately. It takes quite some time because your <br />ability to see has to increase. It has to become more subtle. Only when you come <br />to that level you capture the colored aura otherwise you will not be able to <br />capture. So there is a space inside the space, you have to capture that. Your <br />eyes have to develop the capacity to see the subtle and this is the <br />physiological process. With your two eyes you see. <br /><br />There is one more space which is called mental space where your thoughts are <br />hovering right now. If you can detach yourself and be a witness, sakshi; you can <br />see your thoughts. Those thoughts are in your mental space, chitta akash and the <br />clairvoyants can see directly. Thoughts are seen around the physical body, in <br />the mental space. Every thought that you have has its own form, texture, color <br />and till the time it moves, the thought movements can also be seen by the <br />clairvoyants. That is why mind reading becomes possible. We have developed the <br />habit of manifesting in this world twice. First you manifest in your mental <br />space, then you work hard on that, put lot of efforts and you manifest that in <br />the physical space for example, architects visualize the building in the mental <br />space first. Then he starts working on it and puts in onto the paper, then the <br />builder starts building according to the plan and the building comes up in the <br />physical space. Everything in this world is created that way only. So, first you <br />create in your mental space, put lot of efforts, and then you create in the <br />physical space. This is a known phenomenon of manifestation. It is because of <br />this that the creative visualization became very popular in the new age because <br />that is the way you can manifest. So as a manifestation technique, creative <br />visualization became popular world over and even today it is a very popular <br />thing. Whatever you want you create in the mental space, then you put lot of <br />efforts and then it gets created into the physical space that is the process of <br />manifestation. It is called chitta akash, mental space. <br /><br />Beyond that there is karana deha, causal body. In that space all the karmic <br />files are there, they are in the causal-aura. The causal body is much bigger <br />about 8 feet around your body and in that causal body you see the karmas, karmic <br />files, karmabij. All karmic records are there in that body. To understand this <br />causal body concept there is a beautiful story in our scriptures. It will make <br />lot of sense now where we are talking of different spaces. There is concept of <br />Chitragupt in our puranas. In the story format they say that when a person dies <br />he appears in front of God, after death. God has his accountant who keeps all <br />your records and that accountant's name is Chitragupt. A Chartered Accountant <br />will understand what trouble that guy must be having, how much stress and <br />tension he may be facing. There are millions of people and each and everything <br />that you do including what you do in the bathroom, the records are kept by <br />Chitragupt. Just think what staff he must be having, how big his office must be <br />and what must be his tension. So many people die and every time the file has to <br />be produced but it is said this process is going on for last thousands of year <br />in a very meticulous manner. Chitragupt has never failed even a single time. <br /><br />All the records are maintained in a very proper manner and based on those <br />records you go to different realms called swarg (heaven) or narak (hell). But <br />there is nothing like that. They are all different frequency realms. If you have <br />done good karmas you go to higher realms called heaven, if you have done bad <br />karmas you go to lower realms called narak that is hell. There is nothing like <br />hell. It is a lower frequency realm. Who is this Chitragupt who keeps the <br />record? <br /><br />There is a scientific understanding of this story. Whatever we do is captured by <br />our own self that is consciousness and the memory of that remains in our <br />consciousness in the form of images. Let's make this simpler. In modern <br />scientific way you keep huge records like NASA maintains huge scientific records <br />in what is known as microfilming. So also our consciousness has small pictures, <br />there is a microfilm and those pictures remain in our consciousness that is <br />called chid akash and that memory is called chid akash memory. Mental space is <br />called chitta akash, consciousness space is called chid akash smruti which means <br />your consciousness has its own memory and that memory follows the law of <br />microfilming, so every time you do something your karmic file picture is been <br />taken and that picture remains in the consciousness. There is no hard copy, <br />there is soft copy only. Now a days even ordinary offices do not have hard <br />copies. <br /><br />So all the soft copies are there in your chid akash, your consciousness and that <br />memory is there in the form of microfilm that is why this word Chitrgupt has <br />come, chitra means picture and gupt means hidden and it is hidden in your <br />consciousness. They are hidden pictures, hidden at the level of consciousness. <br />Chid akash smruti means your consciousness has its own memory. The hard memory <br />does not go to higher realms, it goes away when the body is burnt. Whatever <br />experiences are there, those files are zipped at the end moment when the person <br />dies and those zipped files get into the software bundle called sukshma deha, <br />the subtle body. The physical and pranic bodies are here only, the pranic body <br />dissipates in 13 days, goes back to the Sun. Astral, mental and causal, (the <br />upper two bodies you need not consider), the three bodies is your sukshma deha, <br />where all your zipped files are there. Depending on the frequency of this bundle <br />called sukshma deha you will go to the particular realm in the astral world. <br />This process has been described by the scriptures as the Jiva going to swarg or <br />narak. In the story format this technology has been explained by our puranas for <br />a common man to understand. <br /><br />There is a proper technology if you understand how this bundle goes to the <br />subtle lokas and those lokas are the different frequency locales. What we call <br />lokas in scientific terminology it is known as different frequency locales and <br />that is how we have to understand. There are different realms or bands of <br />frequency. Depending on the vibrancy frequency of the bundle, sukshma deha, the <br />subtle body will go to that particular band that is the natural law. There is no <br />person called Chitragupt. It is just a natural law. Your own self has the memory <br />and your own self, based on the quality of that bundle will get attracted to a <br />particular band based on the principle of "like attracts like". There is no God <br />and there is no Chitragupt. It is only you, the consciousness who decide. Your <br />awareness is the God and your Chid akash smruti is the Chitragupt. Both are in <br />you only. There is no God and no Chitragupt sitting up there and there is no up <br />and down. It is only different frequency locales where you get into. That is the <br />technology which you have to understand in a proper manner. So there are various <br />akashas and in these subtle akashas, subtle frequency aspects of the <br />consciousness are there. This is the good background now to understand the word <br />akashic records. <br /><br />Akashic records are the zipped files in the causal body. Your causal body is <br />eternal. Ever since the divine fragment separated from divinity and developed <br />ego is called Jivatma, from that point until you once again merge with the God, <br />everything of that is available in your causal body. Those records are known as <br />akashic records. Many people think that akashic records are somewhere up there <br />in the sky. That is myth created by the words. Akashic records are in the subtle <br />space, that particular frequency space which we call causal body. All the <br />records are there and clairvoyants can read them straight and then you wonder <br />how he knows about you. He is reading your akashic records. Let me explain this <br />in a simpler way. There is a big file. All your karmas and everything are there <br />so you can just go through the file and read. There is something called sanchita <br />karma which is like a bank balance of all that you have done so far. Out of that <br />something pops up and it starts bothering you or you enjoy if it is a good <br />karma. That karma which is presently bothering you or you are enjoying is called <br />prarabdha. That prarabdha is there because you have done something and <br />accordingly you get fruits of it. <br /><br />Entire humanity has got caught up in this law of karma. Anybody who goes beyond <br />this law is called Ascended Master. That is what ascension is all about. <br />Ascension means to go beyond the effects of law of karma. Then the question that <br />arises is how we got into this law. The root cause of all the troubles, the <br />cause behind the cause is in the causal body. Ultimately everything can be <br />traced down to the karmas. Because you did certain karma, now it has become <br />prarabdha karma so you have to suffer and you can do nothing when you are <br />suffering. Life is going beautifully, everything is going very well and suddenly <br />one karma from the sanchita pops up in prarabdha, you feel little uneasy and you <br />go to the Doctor and the Doctor asks you to go to hospital for complete check up <br />and after doing all the checks cancer is detected. With that report the whole <br />life changes. It was there in the zipped format but now it started manifesting <br />in the physical body. The cancer was all along there in the causal body, only <br />when it comes into prarabdha it reflects into the physical body. Similarly all <br />the karmas are there and are carried by us and wherever we go all the subtle <br />bodies are there with us all the time. That is what clairvoyants are able to <br />see. Manifesting aspect happens because of the prarabdha and that is why Indian <br />astrology has become so precise. At what time which prarabdha will bother you <br />and in which way, this can be predicted because your stars will decide. Which <br />sanchita karma will become prarabdha and what kind of fruits you will get is <br />predictable because those fruits will be decided by the dashas and antar-dashas <br />of the planets and that is how prarabdha gives you the fruits. It is beautiful <br />technology available to those who understand. <br /><br />It is a science of possibilities because there are probabilities. Nobody can say <br />that it is 100% true. This is so because your awareness has the capacity to <br />change that, as the time for ascension is fast approaching since the planet <br />earth is getting ready for ascension. We have high frequency vibrations on the <br />planet earth now, so if you put little more efforts from your side and if you <br />understand the technology of ascension, ascension has become very easy and mass <br />ascension has become possible. The vibratory frequency of the planet earth as it <br />is going closer to the photon belt is going higher and higher, all of us can go <br />out of the clutches of karma and all of us can ascend together. It means that we <br />can drop out of the clutches of karma. <br /><br />For the Ascended Master all the karmabij - that is the seeds of the karmas - are <br />roasted. They are roasted in dhyanagni and gyanagni. Dhyanagni means fire of <br />meditation and gyanagni means the fire of awakening, the fire of awareness and <br />not informative knowledge. The roasted seeds when they are planted they will not <br />germinate. That is the way to ascend as all your sanchita karmas will be roasted <br />and nothing can germinate which means you go out of the clutches of karma. If <br />there is nothing in sanchita nothing can pop up and bother you. So with this <br />technology you can go out of the effect of law of karma. If you do so you are <br />called Ascended Master. All the ascended Masters have gone out of the effect of <br />law of karma. <br /><br />So the akashic records are in the subtle akash. There are many layers and you <br />are a multi dimensional being. Your physical body exists in physical akasha, <br />your pranamaya kosha is existing in prana akash, emotional body exists in astral <br />akasha, mental body exists in mental akash, and causal body exists in karana <br />akash. So there is subtlety of the space, akashic sukshmata. The space becomes <br />subtler and subtler and we exist in all simultaneously. So we are not one <br />dimensional beings, we are multi dimensional being, every body is a multi <br />dimensional being. So when a person dies only the physical body is gone, other <br />bodies are there and that is the software which gets a new hardware. That is how <br />we are caught up into the karmic cycle of birth and death. <br /><br />Ascension means to break away from this habit, to roast all the seeds of karma <br />which is there in the kitty of sanchita and come out clean so that nothing can <br />germinate. Then there is nothing left and when there is nothing left there are <br />no compulsions for you to come again which means your ascension has happened. <br />That is the technology of ascension and that is how it is connected to the <br />akashic records.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="viadeoBlog">

Be wherever you are and lead a normal “Grihasthi” life. Do your normal duty with responsibility, as a family member, employee or Businessman...No renunciation! No escapism in name of Sanyas!! Only life positive approach!!!<br /><br />2) Learn to live life purposefully! Consciously clean your life by removing the “clutter” and “conflicts” from every aspect of your life. Set your things right to spare some time for yourself. Know your Life Mission and work passionately through every action to fulfill your Life Mission.<br /><br />3) Be simple, be humble and cultivate “Attitude of Learning”. Learn at every possible opportunity. Prepare “Things to do List” and prioritize daily morning. See how they are aligned to your Life Mission. Through out the day keep your awareness on your mission fulfillment so that at the end of the day you feel really happy. <br /><br />4) Consciously imbibe and practice the qualities such as Friendliness, Assertiveness, Positive Attitudes, Courage and Unconditional Love and Forgiveness to all.<br /><br />5) Be vegetarian. Eat only when hungry and as per the needs of body. Once in a while give rest to your digestive system! Come out of your addictions, if any, at once.<br /><br />6) Become aware of your “Emotional Luggage”. Practice “Nirmal Kriya” followed by Meditation and be completely out of it. <br /><br />7) Spare some time to look deeply into your “Childhood Conditionings”. Write down whatever flashes in your mind. Meditate to “SEE” if your behavior is governed by those “Childhood Conditionings” which do not exist today. Once in a while, enjoy solitude to look deep within. Watch every aspect of your thoughts and desires to understand your mind. Let your “Insights” guide you to change your “Behavior”. While in samsara, enjoy your normal routine with higher “Awareness” free of all past conditionings!<br /><br />8) Look at your “Relationships” in an objective manner. If you still have any relationship that is bothering you, practice “Appreciation”, “Gratitude”, and “Unconditional Love and Forgiveness” and start enjoying life to the fullest! Learn to relate with people without any expectations, to live life conflicts free.<br /><br />9) Reduce your dependency on allopathic medicines. Learn to heal your self with Kriya and Meditation, by increasing your cellular vibrancy.<br /><br />10) Have thorough understanding of Law of karma. (As you sow, so you reap). Practice “Karma-kshalan Kriya” in water and by side of fire, as much as possible to come out of the clutches of past karmas completely.<br /><br />11) Be regular in your sadhana of Holistic Health Exercises, Kriya & Meditation, to shade off your karmic load faster! <br /><br />12) Be with nature, in silence, as much as possible. Enjoy Satsang and Group Full Moon Meditations in pure natural surroundings. <br /><br />13) Strike the balance between material & Spiritual…Live in Abundance - consciousness with your being rooted in Meditative Awareness. Be an “Enlightened Billionaire” like King Janak!! <br /><br />14) To enjoy your life to the fullest, learn to consciously bring about the changes in your life, the way you want, through contemplation and meditation. Have the spirit of enquiry. Listen to all concerned but take decisions of your life only as per your inner voice. Do not be a part of “Spiritual Slavery”. Walk the path of “Scientific Spirituality” and be a light unto yourself!<br /><br />15) Live your life – Moment to Moment – with Joy, Enthusiasm, Love and Gratitude for Existence. Carry the Silence with you in whatever you do and let every act be in awareness, to be in the natural flow of cosmic rhythm.<br /><br />16) Read good books / Scriptures, listen to the words of wise ones, attend satsang to be with living Masters and get wisdom.<br /><br />17) Practice watching your breath and witnessing the flow of thoughts daily as much as possible. Become aware of number of thoughts per minute. Also become aware, how witnessing reduces number of thoughts per minute. Go deeper…and enjoy silence!<br /><br />18) Walk the path to Enlightenment by witnessing your thoughts. Get rooted into the gap so intensely that you dive deep into silence to disappear completely! Fulfill the purpose of your life in this very lifetime!!!<br /><br />19) With daily practice, strengthen your wings of “Awareness” and “Understanding” through Meditation, right reading and being with Spiritual Masters.<br /><br />20) Appreciate all, criticize none. Walk your own path… be a Jivan Mukta!<br /><br />21) Live your life with Love, Appreciation, Surrender and Gratitude and live in freedom, be a Jivan Mukta!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyTTmRY6ZbPZJuEpTOmAGK6cO8tDTVe14FlqzSjQjl-b3YN-Z5IIagwyzQzJgurVFjdowr1tqC8LuPs6zaJLCjVGBt6tsgMTsATdUttbDo4IQmiljYN4OnJDa0na7bQi3hB5nJ54HL6VI/s1600/DSCN5263.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyTTmRY6ZbPZJuEpTOmAGK6cO8tDTVe14FlqzSjQjl-b3YN-Z5IIagwyzQzJgurVFjdowr1tqC8LuPs6zaJLCjVGBt6tsgMTsATdUttbDo4IQmiljYN4OnJDa0na7bQi3hB5nJ54HL6VI/s320/DSCN5263.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464443696544366402" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="viadeoBlog">

</div></div>Prem Nirmalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08769929628662296212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4744024568609425266.post-55541096441046211402010-04-26T01:11:00.000-07:002010-04-26T01:51:16.658-07:00What is Awareness?WHAT IS AWARENESS? <br /><br />Awareness is a state which emanates from the divine part within us. It is the perception of the now, of the present moment in all of its reality. In a state of awareness, we are not necessarily thinking - we are just being there, doing what we are doing, walking, working, talking etc. Experiencing and perceiving everything with clarity and objectivity. <br /><br />When we are aware we are simply in the moment, using all our senses, perceiving everything that is around us and within us. Time seems to stand still. We start to experience happiness and awaken our true intelligence because we feed our divine aspect, our consciousness, that which we generally completely neglect. <br /><br />ARE WE REALLY AWARE? <br /><br />We may think we are aware, how could we not be...? What we do not realize is that our awareness is only a fraction of what it could be and, although a natural state, it takes will and effort to remain in awareness, in a state of perception. <br /><br />Imagine a simple thing like walking home from work. Which would be the most typical scenario for us: <br /><br />a) Walking, being aware of ourselves within our environment - that may encompass other people, trees, cars, buildings, sounds, smells etc. etc. <br /><br />Or <br /><br />b) Walking home in a hurry, thinking about what we are going to cook for dinner or how unfair our boss or colleague was at work today, etc. Totally unaware of what is around us. <br /><br />It is most likely for us to be in scenario ‘b'. This is the way we have learned to behave. We normally know little or nothing else. The majority of us are lost in thoughts and would not know what is happening around us, unless we suddenly heard a loud sound or came across a dangerous situation. <br /><br />Our moments of awareness come and go randomly and, when we are aware, we are still only half so because we are not experiencing the full potential of Awareness. <br /><br />INCREASING AWARENESS <br /><br />Most people have at some time in their lives experienced briefly a measure of their potential. During a moment of peace and tranquility, perhaps while in the wilderness people can experience sensations of peace with the environment - with the world. Walking in the woods, enjoying the play of sun rays falling on the blades of grass dancing with the wind! And the Awareness is activated and you enjoy the bliss of the moment! But if your mind is active, these times, instead of “being”, the “exception” can become our normal state! <br /><br />Athletes have exercised their bodies so that they are more developed than those who don't. So too we need to exercise our awareness to make it stronger. A muscle not used wastes away - it is the same with awareness. The more we use our awareness the greater our capacity to use it grows. <br /><br />This is not all however. We also need to get rid of all the negative states we have within to truly open up our awareness. It is these negative emotions and thoughts that cloud our awareness and make us almost asleep during our waking moments. Observing within we can see all these states and can understand and gradually eliminate them. This increases the amount of consciousness that we have while at the same time decreases the subconscious. This brings about a lasting increase in our level of awareness. <br /><br />A person with full awareness is a person who is leading a very spiritual life and has none of this anger, jealousy, fear, hate etc in their lives. They are not distracted by those random thoughts which just seem to come upon us without purpose; they have mental and emotional discipline. <br /><br />REASONS FOR AWARENESS <br /><br />We activate the divine part within us, our consciousness; this provides the basis for spiritual and psychic growth and development. <br /><br />Latent faculties within such as clairvoyance, telepathy, intuition, ESP etc, have a chance to be activated. <br /><br />True intelligence is awakened. <br /><br />We conserve our energy. <br /><br />Directing the awareness within at the same time as we perceive the external world, we can observe thoughts, emotions and feelings; this enables us to achieve self-knowledge and to change. <br /><br />We can practice self-observation without being quickly re-absorbed into the mind. <br /><br />We can be in the correct inner state for any event or situation that we go through. <br /><br />Our sense of Awareness gives us a connection with other people - with the world. If we feel that connection with the environment then we would not pollute it. <br /><br />If we all had that union with other people we would not start fights or wars. Anyone who is seeking a more spiritual life needs to become more aware. <br /><br />PRACTISING AWARENESS <br /><br />Look at the place that you are in, use your five senses to perceive it, then at the same time look inside at thoughts, feelings or emotions, you will notice that these change the perception of reality which you perceive with your five senses, they color it or even make it disappear. <br /><br />Now observing these within, come back to the observation of the place you are in. You need to do this with everything that appears within, again and again, so that you perceive where you are clearly, without that perception being altered by thoughts, emotions or feelings. Learn how to watch inwardly and outwardly at the same time. <br /><br />You can do this with any activity during the day, try it when for example you are punching the keys on your computer, you will notice how it takes an effort to be aware of what you are doing and how little time is spent actually being aware in the normal course of a day. <br /><br />To increase this properly and ultimately unite the consciousness with the Divine, producing bliss, you will need to do further practices which are explained during Awareness development Program. <br /><br />Author of this article, Prem Nirmal regularly conducts “Awareness Development Program” for those who are interested in self growth and self mastery. Prem says, “Awareness is the ultimate key to unfold the secrets of your conscious Self, the deepest recesses of your being and let you know, who you are!” Awareness activation is the ultimate adventure you can take up to explore your Self. The process lets you understand your unconscious habit and behavioral patterns and relieves you from such patterns to know your real Self. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxjCXsNWuqsxGBi02Q7vto0qTEpGgJshiupOZZHmdoYSmmFXbz7-iK-2aDBMUEliM73Z3UQADT8ipwkDVkMeYwtOM47_HozFW5d1gxoHC56K4x6iSg0bVLWBo36kGeQWBelNZYQ-Bp9iw/s1600/DSCN5270.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxjCXsNWuqsxGBi02Q7vto0qTEpGgJshiupOZZHmdoYSmmFXbz7-iK-2aDBMUEliM73Z3UQADT8ipwkDVkMeYwtOM47_HozFW5d1gxoHC56K4x6iSg0bVLWBo36kGeQWBelNZYQ-Bp9iw/s320/DSCN5270.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464365808979737906" /></a><br /><br />To know the author of this article, visit www.premnirmal.com <br />Are you interested in more such Articles and Inputs? Visit www.eesworld.org <br /><br />For those of you who are interested in academic aspects and scientific research, here are the additional inputs. <br /><br />Wikipedia definition of Awareness: <br /><br />Awareness is the state or ability to perceive, to feel, or to be conscious of events, objects or sensory patterns. In this level of consciousness, sense data can be confirmed by an observer without necessarily implying understanding. More broadly, it is the state or quality of being aware of something. In biological psychology, awareness is defined as a human's or an animal's perception and cognitive reaction to a condition or event. <br /><br />Awareness is a relative concept. An animal may be partially aware, may be subconsciously aware, or may be acutely aware of an event. Awareness may be focused on an internal state, such as a visceral feeling, or on external events by way of sensory perception. Awareness provides the raw material from which animals develop qualia*, or subjective ideas about their experience. <br /><br />Also used to distinguish sensory perception is the word "awarement." "Awarement" is the established form of awareness. Once one has accomplished their sense of awareness they have come to terms with awarement. <br /><br />Popular ideas about consciousness suggest the phenomenon describes a condition of being aware of one's awareness or, self-awareness. Efforts to describe consciousness in neurological terms have focused on describing networks in the brain that develop awareness of the qualia* developed by other networks. <br /><br />*Qualia mean subjective quality of conscious experience. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI91qVSZw34Wjj44GvzE81O0AF3YIwVd0DzrxokgtO5H0LkCm42SuJL6YqWLrGEXsazYNy6c5l7o5y2gi43EgCUoX8DqmebHAqRhlhNuZrOnXVlFyKAb0WuqJIbOqmlp5QntTX5eOTYrA/s1600/a586488689_1703456_7126%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 222px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI91qVSZw34Wjj44GvzE81O0AF3YIwVd0DzrxokgtO5H0LkCm42SuJL6YqWLrGEXsazYNy6c5l7o5y2gi43EgCUoX8DqmebHAqRhlhNuZrOnXVlFyKAb0WuqJIbOqmlp5QntTX5eOTYrA/s320/a586488689_1703456_7126%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464357884209412978" /></a><br /><br />Meditation...Meditation...Meditation...<br />Meditate so deeply that you disappear completely!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="viadeoBlog">

<br />
Namaste! <br />
<br />
A very hearty welcome to all of you to the sacred learning space called TAO. Today we will discuss something very interesting! How do we get knowledge? Our Rishis were known as Mantra Drashta. All the knowledge that we have today was a revelation to them. When they used to meditate, they got direct knowledge and that is how it happened. Nobody wrote the Vedas. Vedas are revelation. Quran was not written by anybody. Mohammed Prophet was an illiterate but it was revealed unto him. In meditation knowledge happens. Many things have been revealed to the Rishis. For examples most of our shastras it is said, are written by Maharshi Ved Vyas. The tradition says that Vyasji spoke and Ganapati wrote it down. And there is a mention of this in many shastras. In Mahabharata when the war was on Sanjay could see everything as one sees on TV. Sanjay was gifted of this vidya by Rishi for temporary period. That means this vidya could also be transferred like how we give internet cable connection! Also there is truth in it. For example, If I can see certain things and if I have the capacity to transfer it, you will also see and I have done that with more than thousand people here. It means that you cannot deny the fact. For example aura reading capacity, if I have it I can transfer it and you will also read and this has been done with more than 1200 people.<br />
<br />
People never believed that chakras can be seen with naked eyes because nowhere in the world this has been done. I used to see but even my near and dear ones did not believe and when the resistance to believe is there, criticism is very high. But I took a chance, a very courageous step. I developed the technology and everybody saw. It is about the developing the technology and training methodology by which you can transfer the technology. As I have been a technologist all along I have been doing it, developing the technology and transferring. What I was doing for electronic technology now I am doing for spiritual technology. But my system is fine tuned to do these things. The things which are not normally understood, simplifying the same and making people understand the same is what training is all about. It makes you understand and not only understand, even the capacity is transferred. If you are sincere and honest about learning you can receive that knowledge and thousands of people have received it and you cannot deny it. That is what we need because we have a belief system.<br />
<br />
Everybody believed in the beginning that chakras cannot be seen because world over chakras have been only visualized. Nowhere in the world is there any institute or class where chakras are shown with naked eyes. They say close your two eyes and your third eye will open and you will see. This is all a mind game. All this nonsense is happening world over but this is not the truth. We have this technology because of which many things have been simplified. We did all this for our ultimate aim which has certain milestones. Now why these milestones are there let us understand. Many of our old friends also have not understood certain things.<br />
<br />
Basically the technology was developed for creating the confidence in you about me. You will not believe my words unless you experience something extraordinary. For a modern mind to believe something is impossible. But when you start seeing you gain confidence because you see and not because I tell you. When I launched my first aura workshop people laughed at me saying that there is no such thing as aura. People will not see it and people will be after you and will beat you. These were the words of my close friends and near and dear ones. I gave money back guarantee and people saw the aura and nobody took money back. Some people do not have confidence in themselves so they will not have confidence in anybody else also and it does not matter how close you are. The problem with human mind is it will not believe. How to change that mind? The only way to do so is to give a strong experience to that person, which that person cannot deny. If you are seeing something you are seeing it, you cannot deny that. You see aura with your own eyes and you see it repeatedly and you see it in my presence and you go home and there also you see and you know that it is not mesmerism. There is a proper technique and if you learn that you see it. Similarly there is a technique for seeing the chakras. If you understand the technique you can see it, it's no big deal. It is just a matter of learning systematically. Those who have time and attitude of learning, which is a very rare thing, can learn systematically. People ask me over phone how to see chakras!! You come and attend the program, have sincerity of spending time with me and you will see. This cannot be told over the phone.<br />
<br />
But there are people who say that they have heard that I have some power and that after putting my hand on their head they will be able to see chakras. My putting hand on your head does not mean anything, you have to learn. These are all games of human mind. Lazy people want to avoid learning; they want to avoid working on themselves. They don't want to study, they don't want to learn, they don't want to experiment, and they want readymade results. This is happening world over and I am not for that.<br />
<br />
Yesterday we discussed about target audience. My target audiences are people who are interested in learning. I don't want people who expect miracles because I don't have any miracles. I have only science, methodology, and technology. It looks miraculous, nowhere in the world these things are there but I do not consider it as a miracle. I consider it as a science because there is repeatability. If there are 50 people, if one sees, second also sees and all of them see. If one in 50 cannot see then it is the person's problem, not mine. But if only 2 can see and 48 cannot then it is my fault, it means that the technique is not working. If majority of people can see and understand then it proves that our methodology is right.<br />
<br />
In 1991 I met my Master, Sri Dada Gavand, self realization happened in this body in 1992, in less than a year it happened and the scientist within was working because that is the ultimate that is possible in training technology, can you transfer that which is the rarest of rare and the ultimate that is possible? That was the aim with which TAO started. In 1992 it happened and in 1997 we started TAO. The purpose was ultimately to create a technology where self realization can happen to people in a guaranteed manner. If it is a science then it should be repeatable and if it can happen to one it can happen to another person also. That was my aim. I talked about it with many great Masters, even they laughed at me saying that it is a rarity and it cannot happen. When I started aura workshop most of the Masters said that it cannot happen. But I proved that it can happen. Seeing chakras was rarest of rare and people laughed at me again but everybody saw chakras. <br />
<br />
Enlightenment can happen to everybody and that also happened and everything is now proven. I feel very happy about it, of course it took 14 long years to happen. I have been continuously working with people around. Some people were mesmerized by other Masters and they went away! Like attracts like is the principle. Those who are learning types will stay with me. Those who don't want to learn they will not stay with me because I will not entertain them. Whatever we are practicing here is absolutely pure scientific spirituality. There are no miracles, there are no tantric siddhis, and there is no mesmerism, nothing of that sort. Simple, honest spiritual science is all that is there. Because of high degree of focus we became successful in creating self realization in so many people. It is the absolute rarity on planet earth and never this has happened, producing Buddhas by Batches! I remember when I used to talk about Buddhas by batches, I used to laugh and people also used to laugh but now "Buddhas by batches" can happen and you cannot deny because it happened to you!<br />
<br />
What we are doing here is the purest of pure scientific spirituality and when we say scientific it means it has repeatability and all my programs have degree of science which talks about repeatability and it is possible to repeat. If it happens to one it can happen to all. How we do it is very simple. The whole methodology of self realization, which is rarest of rare on planet earth, being a trainer I just cut it down to small sets which makes it easier for a common man to understand. In the first two days of `Art and Science of Holistic Living' you learn kriya yoga. You get systematically initiated into kriya. That initiation is a big thing. You can learn kriya from anybody but that is not called initiation. Initiation is a totally different thing. Initiation means that you get connected to the Guru Mandala, the Astral Masters who start guiding you. Today I have technology which has made even that a simple thing now. Now my research is how to make it simple, how to make it risk free, how to make it perfect so that everybody who come is benefitted irrespective of that person and that person's capacity. My aura reading methodology is like that, irrespective of your personal capacity you will see aura. That is what technology is. You buy TV; you just plug in and start. That is what science is. My methodology is like that. If you come, if you listen, if you have attitude of learning, if you do what I tell you to do, you will get instant results because it is science and it does not depend upon whether you are graduate, under graduate, no matter what. If you are a learner, if you have right set of mind, if you have right attitude you will get ultimate that is self realization. That is why we started TAO, 14years back in1997.<br />
<br />
We want to make this scientific technology available to as many people as is possible. But it will be only for those who are seriously interested in learning step by step. My entire technology I have put into 21 days. The first two days `Art and Science of Holistic Living' you learn how to do kriya, you get kriya initiations. Second level is also of two days `Power of Super-conscious Mind' which completes your jigsaw puzzle of what is enlightenment, what is law of karma, how it works, what is spiritual science, how it work, all your questions get answered in two days time. The biggest aspect of Level II workshop is understanding of "Blind Spots" and knowing the methodology of how to break through blind spots, how to remove the blind spots. That is the biggest aspect, the core aspect of Level II workshop. You will understand your blind spots and you will get the methodology to remove your blind spots. If you are serious, genuine, if you work hard on that, the methodology is proven because thousands of people have been benefitted but if you don't work, it doesn't work!<br />
<br />
That is why I say repeatedly that I have no miracle, you have to have attitude of learning willingness to work with me, spend 21 days with me. After Level-2, there is 5 days residential shibir which is `karmakshalan' Shibir. That is a big breakthrough. Small issues related to destiny which trouble you, with karmakshalan, cleansing of the system happen. Fears and phobias just disappear. We had a 54 years old lady who had hydrophobia. With karmakshalan hydrophobia disappeared. Such results are produced because you do kriya and not because I do something. I simply create environment where that magic can happen. In fact it is not a magic or miracle but it is a science and the science has been very properly understood and we created a system where it works wonder. Now karmakshalan is done in a much better way as it is fine tuned and a much better level of understanding is there. Five days is for cleansing the subtle bodies. If you cleanse subtle bodies properly and if you are willing to go for higher understanding where you have to listen; understand and meditate over what has been said and you have to settle in that understanding for which many people don't have the attitude. If you have the attitude you get full result. Suddenly life changes, business which was in losses earlier suddenly improves in spite of same person and factory. Thousands of relationship issues have been sorted out. The tussles in relationships suddenly disappear for no reason. This is so because they are karmic tussles and if the stone of karma is removed then issues are resolved. It looks like a miracle but it is not a miracle it is a science. One who understands that will be benefitted. This is all about doing. Attitude of learning is the main thing.<br />
<br />
After that there is ADP (Awareness Development Program) shibir for five days. In that your awareness increases. This is supposed to be the most difficult of all. No one knows how to do it. What awareness is also difficult to define. I have written a full article on that. It is there on Yahoo group, on facebook. People ask what kind of awareness whether it is computer awareness, AIDS awareness, swine flu awareness. It is nothing of that. This is so because we always think of awareness related to something. We are not talking in that context. Here we are talking about your own awareness that makes you conscious being, that awareness needs to be developed. That is where the break through happens and that breakthrough is a very important aspect of life. I had been doing research to find out how to make this possible. <br />
<br />
The whole thing was a big promise to my Master. I knew my Master had all the knowledge but he was not getting a person who could receive that. I offered myself 100% to do whatever he wanted. I told him that whatever you tell I will do. I will not counter question, I will not argue but help me in self realization. He helped me. For three months he explained to me the methodology and with three more months of meditation it happened. It was my promise that if I understood that, then I will spread it to whole world. Without understanding the gravity of that statement I had made that statement. How difficult it is I am realizing now. After 14 long years it happened to some people. But it happened and we want to make it happen in a much bigger manner. I want to do the experiment with a batch of 50-60 people who are willing to walk with me for 21 days. We can create Buddha by batches and we have already done so. There is nothing new about the whole thing. It has already happened to so many people. Those who spend 21 days with me, walked with me, it happened to them. It is not a big deal. It is a matter of understanding. The entire technology is available and proven. If I am talking something new you may doubt but whatever I am talking is already proven.<br />
<br />
The last seven days is for Tripura Rahasya the ultimate breakthrough where everything is understood. One who has understood Tripura Rahasya may go to any corner of the world, it does not matter. This is so because he has understood and whatever is to be understood is only one thing and one who understands that, has understood everything. One who has experienced the advaita has understood everything, nothing remains. There are many other things also after that but it is an eternal journey. But this is a major milestone. <br />
<br />
Whoever has understood Tripura Rahasya will not have to come again on planet earth, it is a way to Moksha. You drop out of the wheel of birth and death and that is the real thing. The knowledge for this has come from Trik Shaivism or Kashmir Shaivism. It is Shiv Sadhana but was developed in Kashmir that is why it is known as Kashmir Shaivism. ADP is all about Trik Shaivism secrets and Tripura Rahasya is in continuation of that and while understanding Tripura Rahasya Enlightenment happens. It is a matter of understanding. It happened to everybody who attended the camp. <br />
<br />
So now very confidently I want to start a new phase of TAO. Those who have attitude of learning and determination to walk the path of spirituality, come, spend 21 days with me and see the miracle happening. I don't have any magical powers, hypnotism, mesmerism, tantric rituals. I have only simple spiritual science and the core aspect is only two words `awareness' and `understanding’. They are the two wings of the bird, eagle. When these two wings are strengthened that person will fly. Seeing the chakras and the aura is all about confidence building, now there is no need to do that. Now we have 21 days program. There is nothing that can be deleted from this program as all things related to confidence building have been removed. Now all this is proven and I don't have to show aura to create confidence. If you have confidence then you come and join 21 days program. This is what is happening at TAO now. Right now my new research is into all types of Samadhi. Next winter we will do a camp in Bhimashankar where all those who have attended Tripura Rahasya can attend and how to experience each type of Samadhi as is mentioned in Patanjali Yoga can be understood. <br />
<br />
But we saw that attitude of a common man takes time to change. Taking out time for these things is difficult. All the programs are priced at low cost compared to any other program anywhere in the world. So price is not an issue. But the problem is setting aside 21 days for this even though these 21 days are spread over a year. This is the back ground I have created before the presentation of Sri Vidya. This is done because people get carried away by what I am doing. Everything is done with focus on to the ultimate and that is self realization, enlightenment, moksha. We got this human body only for that and the aim for all is only one whether you know it or not. We have to do this before 2012 and that is why we have less time. There is lot of scientific data that is been revealed about the upheavals that will happen in the coming days, before it grips you, you have to awaken to this higher knowledge. The physical body will anyway die whether it goes in 2012 or 2020 or 2050 it does not matter. <br />
<br />
There are people who know about physical immortality. I know a person who is living for many hundred years and I have met him. But normally a physical body will die. But there some people who are physically immortal. They can disappear and appear in the physical body. They have gone to the higher levels and they are all Ascended Masters. They have gone to fifth dimension and they can manifest in third dimension and that is how physical immortality works and it is a big subject in science which scientist are doing research on and you will get lot of data on net on this subject. This is a reality. If you can convert your body into light body you can disappear into fifth dimension and you can come back in the third dimension, have a physical body at will. There are such people and I have met them… they are really miraculous…. Mahavatar Babaji can come, manifest the physical body, talk to you, there are physical proofs of meeting and then he disappears. Those are the Masters who can create the body at will. This also is a fact. Thousands of people all over the world have this experience with Babaji. If we see these things from scientific angle then we will not understand this as science is very limited. Newtonian science is very limited and it can't prove all these supernatural things but it is possible.<br />
<br />
In TAO we are not doing any program which is based on supernatural. We are doing normal programs. Enlightenment is birthright of everybody and everybody has the capacity to get enlightened because there is only one criteria and that is human body. Whoever has human body can get it. There are no other criteria like whether you are educated or not. Ramakrishna Paramhamsa, Jidu Krishnamurthy, Albert Einstein all were enlightened beings and they were not educated. So there are no other criteria and an only criterion is human body. So there are no criteria who can attend my programs. Only human body and attitude of learning is the criterion. Human bodies but with no attitude of learning will not get anything from me.<br />
<br />
Where does Sri Vidya come in all this? To set your life and solve your household problem we have holistic prosperity and it is essential. For a householder it is a must. For a sanyasi who has left everything and is not concerned with family, it is not required. But that is not our way. Our way is of grihasthi dharma. Handling our job and householder' s responsibility and also social responsibility we have to attain to Moksha, which is a far more difficult job. But we have been successful in doing it and it is enjoyable also. All those who attended the shibirs know that there was not a single moment which was troublesome. This is so because of the technology. Such a wonderful opportunity is available; many new people who come to TAO do not understand that we are very serious experimenters on the path of enlightenment. Those who are learning oriented should go for this 21 days program and do it systematically. But what is required is time and little bit of money for creature comforts at resorts… for doing all this and to get that we have Sri Vidya. If you have no background then there is problem. We should not deviate from our main aim. For the last 14 years I never deviated from my aim even for a second. The focus never shifted. All the time went in creating confidence otherwise this was available 14 years ago also. The ADP shibir that happened, actually TAO started with ADP program only, 14 years back. But nobody understood it then! Now everything is standardized in the form of 21days program… just walk the path!<br />

Some people get into their trap and think that they are the Gurus. It goes without saying that they aren’t. The Guru is the one who is capable of taking the disciple on the path of Moksha. <br /><br />Shree Samarth says that all those people who teach us about innumerable things including our teachers of various disciplines and our parents are thought to be The Gurus but again they are incapable of leading us to the Moksha. The Guru is the one who preaches about the knowledge of the Parbrahma, removes the darkness of the lack of this knowledge and helps in unifying our soul with the Parbrahma. After birth the life in the body seems to be detached from its creator, the Parbrahma. Maya is responsible for distancing the soul from the Parbrahma by putting innumerable obstacles of the visible. The Guru bridges this gap. One is totally engulfed by the feelings of the body and mind which constantly yield grief. The Guru shows the way to overcome this attachment with the body and the mind. One by himself is unable to get detached from it because of the lack of the knowledge of the correct path. <br /><br />All of us, the rich and the paupers are running after the desires and lust which are unending but we can’t stop running after them by ourselves as we are unaware of the means to stop their powerful flow, the Guru knows it and bares it all for us. Lust and desire originate from lack of knowledge and lead to devious deeds which become a reason for another birth, the Guru imparts knowledge which breaks the further sequence of events. Guru goes step by step, he first tells you the knowledge in words then tells the hidden meaning of them i.e. the Parbrahma which is all pervading in us, which is in fact your own self, so the Guru finally makes you realize that It is in You! You are bound by form, mind, space, time etc. whereas the Parbrahma is boundless. The Guru turns you into the Parbrahma just by his preaching, puts an end to all your grief which only he can do as his powers are backed by his Herculean worship through which he can get anything done by his mere words which are so mightily powerful that they can enter your microform and even change everything inside you that requires modification in order to reach out to the desired goal. <br /><br />Can any modern science do it? The answer is quite evident and emphatic, No! Such are the profound powers of the Guru’s words. The knowledge about the Parbrahma which is hidden inside the Upanishads is fed to the disciples by the Guru in quanta which are digestible according to their capacity as is done by the mother while feeding her infant. The knowledge of the Parbrahma may it be derived from the Vedas, religious scriptures or the Sages, Saints or Rishis is the same and so is that of the Guru. The Guru removes all the doubts, behaves as he preaches and always talks the truth i.e. the Parbrahma and nothing else. He is not the person who will talk anything which comes to the mind without giving it a second thought; in fact he does talk through his mind where only the Parbrahma resides. When we say that he is not bound by anything it doesn’t mean that he lets go his mind rather contrary to it he has by immense efforts learnt to control his mind and directed it towards the Parbrahma forever. Those who don’t teach the disciple how to remain in Sadhana and how to control the organs should be immediately shown the door.<br /><br />He is the Guru who explains the real knowledge, imparts the ultimate knowledge and tells the ways to control the organs. In reality there are many people who call themselves as Guru but use their position to get money from the disciple, behave in the way the disciple would like for meeting their ends, keep their disciples happy for providing everything to satisfy their desires and lust. These people aren’t just the Gurus but are scoundrels in the Guru’s garb. Shree Samarth is so candid that he has used choicest expletives for these people. These people can even extract money for treating seriously ill patients without the knowledge of medicine which results in the loss of life and money. They should be abhorred and despised. Because of these types of people we rather go away from the path of spiritualism and to that of the selfishness. Therefore while choosing the Guru the disciple should indeed be very careful and submit to only the real one who is Parbrahma personified from deep inside and in day to day behavior is like the staunchest Sadhak. Lack of either of these qualities isn’t helpful to the disciple to pursue the chosen goal. <br /><br />Shree Samarth ruefully asks us to abandon those so called Gurus who involve the disciples in the experience of the distorted abstract because their knowledge is limited to that only. The person who is nothing but the religious science, ultimate knowledge about the self and all the attributes of the Atman himself personified is the real Guru and those aspiring for Moksha should submit to him. Some people have the oratory to describe the hypothesis of non duality exquisitely but are terribly attracted towards the organic pleasures; such ones aren’t the type we should be looking for. Here Shree Samarth implies that oratory is the expression of the intellect whereas living according to the preaching of the Vedas doesn’t stop at the intellect only but requires total submission and dislike for the body mind intellect conglomerate, if one doesn’t have the first it doesn’t matter but one must have the second for the chosen goal. On the other hand some people have the art of making their subject highly interesting with apt examples which the audience likes to hear but without the knowledge of the Atman this art is rendered hopeless. <br /><br />Some have the habit of telling about the impossible things made possible by the Saints, Sages and Rishis and the audience is spellbound by such things and unfortunately their attention is diverted to them thereby forgetting the real power of the Great Men which lies in their knowledge and perception of the Atman; to such an extent that they refuse to accept anyone else who doesn’t indulge in such cheap things like a Saint, Sage or a Rishi. In this business such oratory is ultimately detrimental to the whole cause. The outcome of such teaching is horrendous. The Sadhak thinks that all the Great Men of yore had all these powers without which the knowledge of the self is futile. This leads to further strengthening of the belief that I am the body and the mind which murders the cause of spiritualism and thence the bliss it was to accrue and rather throws the Sadhak into the unending ocean of grief. <br /><br />Shree Samarth again tells that one can meet the God only after voidance of the path of deriving pleasure from the visible and such highly intelligent people without the knowledge of the Atman only mislead the Sadhak and therefore are deplorable to say the least. Such people despite their knowledge of everything else but the Atman lived and died for themselves which is miserable and pitiable and therefore to avoid such a plight one shouldn’t follow their teaching. It is very rare indeed to find a person who doesn’t have even an iota of desire or lust. He is the real Saint. His thinking is totally different from the common man’s. He always talks about the omnipresent God. If you see him anywhere, anytime, in any circumstance, in any given position you will always find that he will never think or talk about anything else but the God. It is well nigh impossible that he will ask for something. (The nuance of this is, He is in total unification with the God all the time all the while and in all contexts is God himself but poses as a human and this being so we should ask ourselves, “Does the God ask for anything?” ) God is the unending source of happiness but one misses the path towards him because of being enveloped in the body mind intellect conglomerate. A Sadhak may achieve lot of strength and powers through his Sadhana but if he uses those powers for the sake of the body he also misses the path. Shree Samarth says that those who ignore the unending bliss and instead go in for such strengths and powers are fools because there is nothing which yields grief like desire and lust does. Any desire apart from that of unification with the God is a sure invitation for problems and grief leading to the downfall of the persons who are desirous of the other things. When the body dies all these powers and strengths also die. Such a person not only loses them but also the God because he had never wanted him. It then implies that the Guru who is without any desires, lust and is absolutely firm about the real self, the Atman which he has experienced himself is the only one who can take you beyond this illusory visible. <br /><br />The chief attribute of the Guru is that he should have the purest knowledge of the Parbrahma, eternal bliss, the capacity to remain in the Samadhi all the time although for others he may seem to be doing the daily chores and be in a state of utmost peace with himself without forfeiting his own real self. He is Vairagya personified, is not involved in anything, is highly pure in his behavior which is in strict accordance with his real knowledge and does everything which he preaches. Despite being in possession of all these attributes he always listens to the religious discourses and is highly interested and involved in the spiritual deliberations going on anywhere. Because of this lifestyle of his the doubts of the disciples around him are immediately removed and their intellect turns into unflinching faith in the Guru which is highly helpful not only to the disciples but to the society on the whole. Shree Samarth says that the disciples therefore should recognize the Guru by these attributes and also by the fact that he is there where all the nine types of worships are continuously being followed and highest importance is given to the path of Sadhana. He tells again and again that a worshipper will get bliss wherever there is pure knowledge of the self deep within purported by unhindered worship. Only knowledge won’t help if it is not accompanied by behavior in accordance to that. The spiritualism which is not based on worship and the implied behavior is of no use. If the discipline of the Karma is lost then there is a horrendous, incontrollable expression of all the despicable deeds leading to sins galore. The Guru is required to set these things right and to take care that nothing ever goes wrong in any minute aspects of worship, Vairagya, the correct karmas, and Sadhana so that the disciples don’t lose out on anything. The Guru knows that most of his disciples are common men with meager abilities and hence tells them everything stepwise so that they can digest, understand them and then put them into practice. For the best implementation of this the Guru himself has to show the disciples everything done by him as an example to be followed. When the Guru has to care for so many people he has to have different paths of Sadhana and he does have them. He knows that spiritualism without Sadhana may last for a while but will finally desert you and hence very prudently does Sadhana himself thereby subtly demonstrating to the disciples that they also should never deviate from this path.<br /><br />Shree Samarth destructively criticizes those so called Gurus who take everything for granted and who don’t do what they preach. In short he says that the Guru has to be more careful than the disciples while treading on the path of spirituality. Corruption is rampant in spirituality also when it is pursued without worship and karma. Shree Samarth says that in view of this one should be most careful while submitting before someone thinking that he deserves to be the Guru. He says that many a times one goes by the outward appearance of a person which so commonly conceals the inward impurity and therefore he is liable to be deceived, thereby the whole cause is lost. When the Guru doesn’t deserve to be a Guru on any count, following him and his ways is like following the demon to the hell.<br /><br />Shree Samarth says that there are many types of people in this world who pose as Guru just because they teach something but the real and the only Guru is the one who is capable of taking the disciple to the status of Moksha. He is full of all the virtues which he acquires with relentless Sadhana and has immeasurable kindness towards one and all and especially those who live a troubled life.<br /><br />END OF SECOND SAMAS<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="viadeoBlog">

</div></div>Prem Nirmalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08769929628662296212noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4744024568609425266.post-46985602694330734482010-04-15T03:33:00.000-07:002010-04-15T03:35:07.088-07:00ATTRIBUTES OF THE DISCIPLEFrom DASBODH - THE THIRD SAMAS – SHISHYALAKSHAN <br /><br />ATTRIBUTES OF THE DISCIPLE<br /><br />If the disciple is unable to find the Guru, his life is futile whereas if the Guru doesn’t get the proper disciple he also is constantly on the look out for one. The Guru after finding the disciple has to work really hard to improve him. It is always highly desirous to have the right person as the Guru and the correct one as the disciple otherwise the whole cause is lost.<br /><br />The Guru after accepting the disciple blesses him completely and forever. The Guru is having the knowledge of the Parbrahma and is very kind but if he gets a useless disciple all his efforts go waste, it is akin to a rich and great man having a scoundrel as his son! For this reason thence the Guru and the disciple should almost be, in today’s parlance, “Made for each other”. In this case the disciple’s life is made without much effort from the Guru. The Guru is happy that he imparted knowledge to the proper person and the disciple is happy because he got to listen to the real knowledge from a really authoritative person.<br /><br />Shree Samarth says that even if both of them are the correct persons but they fail to have a dialogue about the real knowledge of the self or the Atman then it is of no use either. Furthermore even when the disciple is convinced about the preaching of the Guru but is unable to maintain the Sadhana the same fate awaits him. Shree Samarth further states that this yield of the spiritualism has to be very industriously obtained and then maintained for the fear of the loss of it which is the greatest loss if anything lost in this Maya can be termed as a loss.<br /><br />The Sadhak should continue the Sadhana even after getting the ultimate knowledge of the self, through the blessings of the Guru; as slight negligence may allow the Maya to intrude and subsequently divert the Sadhak from his hard earned path. Therefore Shree Samarth says that pursuance of spiritualism is a comprehensive way of leading one’s life. The parts within this way are companionship of the Guru, Saints, Sages and Rishis, virtuous deeds and strict adherence to the religion whereas Sadhana, desire for the real knowledge and worship are its outer parts. The Atman reveals itself where both of these bloom fully. Absence of any of these leads to chaos where the disciple can’t be held responsible because it is the solemn duty of the Guru to improve the disciple even if it requires a total metamorphosis in the disciple’s interior as well as the exterior for the Guru is capable of anything imaginable and even beyond that. Shree Samarth says that the converse isn’t true at all. By this he subtly suggests that howsoever great the disciple may become he can’t and shouldn’t aspire to become the Guru. Shree Samarth says that in the Guru-disciple relation Guru is the major player as he is the one who is responsible for the development of the disciple. <br /><br />Now he tells how the disciple should be. The main attribute of a good disciple is that he should have total faith in the Guru and whatever he does or says. The disciple should be calm in any given situation, humble, pure at heart, in possession of high moral character, ethical values, Vairagya, should realize his mistakes and never commit the same again, should be utterly faithful, highly industrious, able to concentrate on the abstract, very courageous, charitable, devoted to spiritualism, without jealousy, an avid reader of all the religious philosophies, virtuous, careful in everything, intelligent, thoughtful, independent, full of love, lovable, able to behave according to the demands of the situation yet never leave the path shown by the Guru, able to discern between what is good and what is not and behave accordingly, a troubleshooter, brave, having conviction in his thoughts and deeds, a great Sadhak, worshipper of the God, able to survive any physical and mental strain, a friend of everyone, student of the knowledge of the Parbrahma and should have total belief in the existence of the God. All his senses should be concentrated and directed towards the Guru constantly with a feeling that the Guru is the only person who matters for him and whatever he does or tells is for the good of him which makes the mind of the disciple readily moldable by the Guru to acquire the ultimate knowledge of the self or the Atman or the Parbrahma.<br /><br />He should not be a materialistic person or a very rich one. He should have experienced grief in his life and known what it is to lead life despite the unbearable grief. There is a reason why Shree Samarth says this. The very rich live life without much thought going into it, because, that is hardly ever demanded in their life. They have only experienced happiness and haven’t seen the naked realities of life which any grief presents with. Who then in such a position would want to tread on the path of spiritualism relinquishing the happiness (Or so they think!) they already have? They most commonly say, “The ultimate bliss? What I am in today is the ultimate bliss, you don’t agree because you don’t have it!” It is almost futile to change the mindset of these people which is like hitting your head over a hard rock in the hope that the rock would break! On top of that it has already been mentioned that the disciple has to totally submit to the Guru and serve him with all the possible means, physically and mentally. The rich always consider service to others as a sign of weakness or it is below their dignity. That is why Shree Samarth said what he did about such people. The case of the people who have experienced almost all types of grief in his family life and who is suffering from physical illnesses or mental stress and strain is the ideal one to pursue spiritualism, the reason being he knows that whatever he did in this visible illusory world yielded nothing but grief and therefore is left with no options than to pray the God and have fullest faith in him and accept whatever the God sends his way with utmost gratitude. Continuous sufferings lead to Vairagya. He firmly knows and believes that this life is nothing but a huge set of problems and is unwilling to overcome them by the already applied means for they proved to be utterly futile and therefore he is mentally well prepared to accept spiritualism as the way for solving his problems may be out of desperation but he is the right and ripe fertile land where the seed of spirituality can grow into a big tree. Such people very readily and utmost faithfully cling to the Guru and follow him to the hilt. They know that they have already reached the bottom and any happening would take them upwards as there is no place to go down and when they see and experience the Guru’s persona and virtues they are convinced to the hilt that he and only he can change the course of their lives which were otherwise destined to doom. The total belief in the Guru now turns into unforeseen faith which really does wonders for them not necessarily materially with which they are already disillusioned but spiritually and they really don’t care because the ever eluding happiness finally comes their way with the blessings of the Guru. Some of the disciples lose their faith due to some reasons and most of them have to undergo all the grief of this visible life and ultimately die with it. Therefore the one whose faith is unflinching is the real disciple who deserves to attain Moksha. Such a disciple’s mind gets the ultimate bliss with the blessings of the Guru and becomes capable of acquiring the best type of Mukti that is the fourth one. He is never attracted towards the material life anymore. <br /><br />Some very unfortunate disciples think that the God is greater than the Guru. They fail to realize that the Guru is The Parbrahma whereas the God is one step below. This failure of recognition is on account of being bound by the body mind intellect conglomerate as the disciples think that the Guru is a human being who may be even poorer than himself and he can’t be greater than the God who in popular perception is the creator and possessor of all the wealth. They just don’t know that the Guru or the Parbrahma is the creator of everything including the God! The Guru being the Parbrahma is indestructible whereas the Gods are subject to destruction at the end of the epoch. Some people just don’t ever know that Gods aren’t everlasting whereas the Guru is. Shree Samarth says that those who equate the Guru and the God should be considered dubious ones as they prefer to cling to their illusions. The fact is we create God with our imagination and worship whereas the Guru being the Parbrahma the Gods also can’t exactly know the abstract form of the Guru which even the Vedas and Mother Shruti failed to describe. Shree Samarth thence dogmatically says that the Guru is greater than the God the measure of which is beyond any proportion. There is nothing beyond the Guru but there is Guru beyond everything created by Maya including the God. The one who is blessed by the Guru is not subject to any other powers and these very blessings make him imbibe the knowledge of the Parbrahma through which he gains the capacity to consider anything else as a nonentity. The disciple gets to know about the real self in reality and gets the knowledge of the Atman which bares itself for him. With this knowledge he sees only the Atman inside and outside him also. He finally becomes blissfully unaware of the visible created by the Maya. This is the real affluence of the disciple because he has unflinching faith in the Guru. His mind before he met the Guru was burning with all that he had to endure which is totally pacified by the preaching of the Guru. He has so much faith in the Guru that he is not at all perturbed even if the whole universe is set to turn upside down. The Sadhana told by the Guru when followed in its entirety endows the disciple with indescribable powers by which he can even dictate the Gods. He is metamorphosed to a totally different entity who is utmost pure and highly pious in all the aspects.<br />He becomes the candidate for the Moksha by right. <br /><br />Those who behave contrarily are treacherous disciples and meet their destined gruesome end. These people are the wise and literate fools. They want organic pleasures and follow spiritualism for just showing off, they make only a gesture of submitting to the Guru for getting publicity. They know nothing of the micro thinking of spiritualism as they are only interested in the macro. They become slaves of their own desires and lust. For such people Shree Samarth gives a humorous simile, if you apply the best perfume to a pig or sandalwood to a buffalo they would just fail to recognize it! It is therefore futile to teach such people even the basics of spirituality. Shree Samarth gives so many other similes to stress this point. Finally he says that if a person clings to his wife and says that he has accepted renunciation as the way of his life he is making a fool of himself rather than impressing others which he thinks he is doing! Shree Samarth says that such wise literate fools can’t even imagine that there is tremendous happiness in being close to the God and thus they remain happy in whatever state they are just as the intestinal worms are in the excreta! He further says that one who is a slave of the organic pleasures and is in fact very happy to take care and serve the prostitutes can’t teach others the importance of moral character. If these people try to pursue spiritualism it is beyond their reach yet they go on waxing eloquent about it and Shree Samarth despises them all. <br /><br />Can’t the Guru help such people? He can, but for that these ones should feel repentant about their deeds. Then they feel that they should really and totally submit to the Guru who then on realization of their honesty blesses them and then these people can become freed of their sins if they follow the Guru’s advice. Those who betray the Guru get the worst kind of the hell as it is the greatest sin. Shree Samarth says that this repentance should be for ever and not a temporary one otherwise the whole cause is lost. <br /><br />Shree Samarth then describes other types of disciples who haven’t been able to get over the material and organic pleasures but are wise enough to hide them from others. They are intelligent and therefore are able to do all the things forbidden in spirituality yet can teach others what it is! Shree Samarth describes them in all the details and finally says that they are the worst kind of disciples and don’t deserve to be disciples of the real Guru. Those who are still enveloped by the body mind intellect conglomerate, under the illusion of the Maya, without a trace of Vairagya, without worship and Sadhana, not ready to change themselves, jealous of others, greedy, full of desires and lust, miserly, full of vices and untruthfulness, scoundrels and those who are happy in others time of grief are kept totally away by the God. They realize their mistakes and misdeeds at the time of death when nobody cares for them and leave them at the mercy of the almighty because of their earlier deeds.<br /><br />Shree Samarth says that those disciples who are not at all having these vices and in fact despise them have a great faith in the God and the Guru and their mind is utmost pure which helps them in attaining the knowledge of the self or that of the Atman. They know that if they cling on to this life it can yield only grief and therefore although doing all the deeds necessary for leading a normal life their soul is detached from those deeds and is always in unison with the Atman. Shree Samarth says that the ones who feel that those who live this life with all the material and organic pleasures without knowing the facts are fools and those who know the facts yet still prefer to overlook them are the wise, literate fools. He finally says that leading a happy family life is a normal thing absolutely acceptable to the religion but it should be after a certain period when he has experienced most of the pleasures with a detached manner if not from without but from within which is the crux of spirituality.<br /><br />END OF THE THIRD SAMAS<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="viadeoBlog">

Acceptance: Accept things, beings, and situations as they are! No need to resist anything…Just flow with life and whatever it brings, have total acceptance of everything that life brings with its flow. You will save lot of your energy that otherwise goes in resisting! With this you will see that suddenly things start changing! Your unconditional acceptance of everything as it is; brings about the magical transformation!<br /><br />2. Attitude of Learning: Cultivate attitude of learning and learn from every possible situation! Our soul has chosen to come to planet earth to learn lessons. If you do not understand what lesson you have to learn in present situation, sit down and meditate! You will get the spiritual insight into current situation and the lesson needed to be learnt. Learn from everybody, including children! Sometimes, children teach us the biggest lessons of our life! Learning is growing! <br /><br />3. Unconditional Love – Unconditional Forgiveness: If you have faced insults, ridicule and are harboring any guilt or revengeful attitude, unconditionally forgive yourself and also forgive the person who has done harm to you. Offering unconditional forgiveness to everyone around including oneself is the best way to purify our heart. Only pure heart can love unconditionally. Love yourself; love everyone in your life. Love everything that is there in existence! With unconditional forgiveness and unconditional love, one understands that existence is whole, complete and perfect the way it is!<br /><br />4. Be focused in your life: The wavering and wondering mind which is more like monkey may not allow us to focus on the right thing at right time and hence we land up in troubles. We need to learn to keep our focus on the job at hand, keeping our value system intact and alive. Every time your mind wavers, take a deep breath and come back to your point of focus! <br /><br />5. Understand “Panch Pakoda” Principle well and implement it:<br />• Karma Yoga: Do your duty diligently, earn money and help family in right way.<br />• Kriya Yoga: Do kriya regularly to increase your cellular vibrancy and Prana Shakti.<br />• Dhyan Yoga: Kriya throws you into meditation. Dive deeper and deeper into meditation, so deep that you disappear completely!<br />• Gyan Yoga: With meditation your mind becomes subtle to understand that “EGO” exists not!<br />• Bhakti Yoga: Name of GOD is the best way to sustain enlightenment!<br /> <br />6. Practice Prosperity consciousness in all seven dimensions of life:<br />• Physical: Health is wealth<br />• Mental: Peace of Mind is Prosperity<br />• Emotional: Positive Emotions for Inner well-being<br />• Social: Enjoy better Relationships…<br />• Spiritual: Be happy for no reason!<br />• Financial: Enjoy safety and security but understand the difference between NEED & GREED.<br />• Time: Do you have time to learn and grow and enjoy life?<br /><br />7. Be in the company of wise ones as much as possible: The essence of first few chapters of “Tripura Rahasya” (The most loved scripture by Sri Ramana <br />Maharshi) is this. By being in the company of wise one, you start seeing your “Blind Spots” and with the help of wise one you learn to come out of those blind spots. Company of wise one is the blessings of life! <br /> <br />8. Practice Kriya & Meditation regularly: This is the best thing to do and simplest of all. Make it a part of your life on day to day basis. Never miss it for a single day! Walk the path of purity and avoid outside dependency in your spiritual practices. Remember, dependency can invite exploitation. <br /><br />9. Strengthen your wings of Awareness and Understanding: Practice ADP methodology you have learnt. Practice “Sandhikal Jagrukta” more and more through practice of “Ajapa Gayatri” Meditation. Practice it with every breath! This will continuously increase your awareness. Read scriptures and attend the Satsang with spiritual masters’ whenever possible. Go on increasing your understanding as much as possible and go on internalizing it. <br /><br />10. Do your best and leave the rest to God: Do all that is possible for you, see that there is no lethargy in your system but when you hit the pillow, surrender to Lord! Do not carry your worries and anxieties to your sleep. Relax well and tackle each day as it comes, with great joy and enthusiasm! <br /><br /><br /><br />Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. ~ Mahatma Gandhi <br /><br />A wave on the ocean develops the notion that I am different from the ocean! The fact is that they had never been separate! So what does a wave need to do to become ocean? Nothing! Wave is ocean, all the time! Only the misunderstanding has to go. That’s all. “Ego” is the biggest misunderstanding. Right understanding is realization. ~ Prem Nirmal<br /><br />The thought of oneness is the real thought, which is sure to purify the inner self and put one on the royal road to Divine worship and lead him to the destination of self-realization. A seeker of truth, who wishes to reach the high altitude of communion with God and break the fetters of worldly woes, should develop the intellect of equanimity and banish the habit of controversial discussions from his mind. ~ Mahatama Mangatram<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="viadeoBlog">
