Secrets of Kundalini

(CAUTION: Please note that this chapter is uploaded only for those friends who had experiences of Kundalini. 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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There are different types of Prana Kundalini experiences. 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.

In prana Kundalini it necessarily moves from different chakras, all the chakras open up and that is what is captured in the camera. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chid Kundalini experience can be labeled as enlightenment experience. 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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Thank you very much.

Satori, Atma-Vyapti and Shiv-Vyapti - Part-1 (Seven levels of Turya)

(Please note that this chapter is uploaded only for those friends who had experiences of Turya. But, YOU the reader, if you have no experience of Turya and if you read this chapter, it will not make sense! On the contrary, it can create misunderstanding due to the words used... as intellect can misunderstand 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)

Namaste!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

ENLIGHTENED BILLIONAIRE

“Enlightened Billionaire” It is translation of Original Hindi word "Aishvaryavan Muktatma".

In the eastern countries in past few thousand years tremendously significant experiments have been done by Yogies, Sufies, Rishis, Lamas… All these experiments were within oneself, to awaken the consciousness, to enrich oneself in the inner world, the spiritual world. These experiments are immensely significant and we need to appreciate the richness of the inner world.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

“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!

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.

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.

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.



We all are one in spirit. Divinity is represented in many forms and that makes this world beautiful. I love you all. Om Prem.

Ascension and DNA Activation

Ascension means to go beyond the karmic effects, to drop out from the law of karma, to drop out from the wheel of birth and death. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shivoham,
