PREFACE
This book
“KRISHNA KRIYA KAIWALYA”” is written
with the purpose of explaining
how Bhagavan Sri Krishna has given the Kriya Yoga throughMahavatar
Babaji, Sri Sri Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar and Paramahansa Sri
Yoganada to us so that we will get out of misery and live happily and also will
have reunion with Brahman ultimately.
and His creation is not myth. It is reality. It is completely
scientific.
A minimum of 15 – 20 years of continuous,
strenuous study is required to become a good doctor, engineer or a scientist. So, to understand Spirituality definitely
certain years of continuous sadhana is required. Simultaneously, Spiritual books are also
required to be read. So study of books
and practice of sadhana should go hand in hand.
By showing a stone and magnifying it 10,000 times and
calling it a mountain does not Satisfy the student. If he is shown a mountain by taking him to
one as such shall Satisfy him and he will properly and perfectly understand. So is the case with esoteric knowledge.
This book has come straight out of my heart
with easy illustrations in a scientific way. I was intuitively guided by Guru
& Babaji throughout the book. To
understand God & His creation no bombastic language or understanding slokas
are required. Isss…. + Loka = Sloka. So silence your inner world. You will find God. Too much of reading books shall confuse us
and creates ego. To realize the
sweetness of a mango just eat it. So God
is.

Sri Satya SaiBaba
Sri Krishna—the great
Avataar
Birth --- Details
Lord ShreeKrishna is a very important
Avataar of Shree Vishnu. Avataar means
coming down to the earth. Soorasen was
the king of
Nanda was the king of Vraja or
Brindaavan. Yasoda was his wife. Yogamaya keeps the Adiseshu in the womb of
Rohini, another wife of Vasudeva, with
the orders of Lord Srimaha Vishnu. Adiseshu is the part of Lord Srimaha Vishnu.
People think that the seventh offspring of Yasoda was a miscarriage. Yogamaya
herself takes birth in the womb of
yasoda, the wife of Nanda, as ordained by Lord Srimaha Vishnu. Vishnu himself enters the womb of
Devaki. After the birth of Vishnu,
ordained by Lord, Vasudeva carries the child in a basket crosses the river
Yamuna and goes to Brindavan. Yamuna herself gives the way so that Vasudeva can
easily cross the rfiver. He keeps the Lord in the bed of Yasoda.
He returns the just born yogamaya of Yasoda back to jail and keeps the infant
on Devaki’s bed. Till that time all the
caretakers of the jail were sleeping as dead.
Even the doors were opened automatically. Hearing the cries of the child Kansa comes by
running to kill the eighth child. When
he was about to kill the child the yogamaya flies away and tells that the real
male child is already born and being
brought up in Brindavan.
Nanda names the
son of Yasoda as SriKrishna and Rohini’s son as Balarama. Balarama is a part of Paramatma i.e.,
Adiseshu. Srikrishna started showing
his powers right from the state of infancy.
He kills a demon called Pootana who came in the guise of giving milk to
Srikrishna by sucking the milk of her
poisoned breasts. In fact this is a
symbolism of sucking the poison of an evil heart by removing Tamasa Guna. Poo means of full of Tana means
materialism. Thereafter He kills
sakatasura symbolizing fickle mind.
Likewise He kills Trunaavarta symbolizing Taamasa Guna or negative
quality. Nanda in fact was a devine person called Drona. He is one of the eight divine vasus. His wife
was Dhara meaning earth. Drona was born as King Nanda of Vraja and Dhara as his
wife Yasoda. SriKrishna was born on Sravana Bahula Ashtami indicating the
importance of practice of Ashtaangayoga so that the darkness of ignorance can
be uprooted. That day is famous as Janmaashtami. .
The
great acts of Srikrishna.
Srikrishna, the
incarnation of God, started showing his prowess right from the beginning of his
birth. He cherishes cow milk, butter and
curd. These are the symbols of purity that are required by Yogi.
Fed up with his acts. one day Yasoda ties Srikrishna to a big stone grinder
that was used in those times for grinding paddy. Whenever she wanted to put a
knot the rope becomes shorter by two inches.
Seing his mother tired of tying the knot, Srikrishna obliges and gets
tied to the stone. This is to show the
surrendering of God to his devotee. He
rolls down the grinding stone by crawling through two big trees. The trees fell
down with their roots. Two divine people come out of the felled
trees. Their names are Nalakoobara and Manigreeva. They are the arrogant sons of Kubera, the
money God. Cursed by Narada, the great wandering saint, they became trees. He
kills the demon who comes in the form of
whirlwind. Mind is like a whirlwind.
Likewise he kills a demon called
Bakaasura and also Aghaasura who comes in the form of a python in Gokulam. These killings indicate that the devotee
should be beyond Gunas and have a fixed mind. Once in Gokulam the herds of cows
and all the cow herds were missing in Gokulam.
Gokulam is a place near the banks of Yamuna of Brindavan. Then Srikrishna himself takes all the forms
of cows and cowherds for full one year so as to remove the sorrow as well as
doubts in the minds of their parents and masters of the cows. This is the
indication of Srikrishna’s all pervasiveness.
He also kills a poisonous snake called Kaaleeya in the
Kansa, the king
of Bhoja, sends his minister Akroora to
Vraja to pick up
Srikrishna gets
Jarasandha killed by Bhima, one of the five Pandavas, shows the dexterity of
God. .Later on Srikrishna kills
Sisupaala and Dantavaktra and liberate them. Sisu means child like innocence of
body attachment. Danta means teething
stage which also indicate child like innocence of body attachment. One should
get rid of this attachment for liberation.

Yoga giver Srikrishna
Imam vivaswate yogam proktavaanaham
avyayam vivaswaan manave praaha
manurikshwaakavebraveet. Gita
4---1
From above sloka it is clarified that
Srikrishna is the giver of Yoga. In this sloka
The pure wisdom of union of soul and
spirit is called Jeevabrahmaikyagnaanam and is unperishable. This knowledge is
called Nishkaamakarmayoga. He says that
he has imparted this knowledge to Sun in the past. Sun is the replica of all pervading light of
the Brahman in Sahasrara Chakra on the top & centre of head called Brahmarabdhram. This light of knowledge was imparted to Manu means descended to Antahkarana or
mind. Then it was imparted to Ikshwaaku. Iksh means eye. This eye is existing in the
place called Kootastha between two eyes of forehead. This is called third eye. This eye can be opened through long and
intensive meditation. So this knowledge of uniting soul with Spirit descended
to the third eye. Then it was further
descended to Rajarshis. Rajarshis means
senses. Then it is forgotten. That means Cosmic consciousness first enters
Brahmarandhram. Then enters Sahasraara Chakra. This is called Atma surya or
Sun. Then it descends to Antahkarana.
From antahkarana to Agna +ve Chakra of Kootastha, from Agna +ve Chakra
to third eye in the Agna +ve Chakra, and
from third eye to Sense organs. Then
Cosmic consciousness further percolates
throughout the body. Because of
Maya we forget the source of energy by indulging fully in worldly affairs. As
such we suffer proportionate to our forgetfulness of the source energy i.e.,
God the father.after long sufferings, we turn to a Sadguru like Sri Sri
Paramahansa Yogananda for learning Yoga so as to return to our home i.e., God
the father. This Sadhana is for that only. In this Sadhana the business of
senses are to be halted first through Pranayama techniques. Then the unsteady
mind & life force are made steady.
By this process the third in the Agna +ve Chakra is opened. Then with
incessant meditation the consciousness of sadhaka or meditator reaches
Atmasurya or sun soul in sahasrara chakra. Then the consciousness exit through
Brahmarandhra and merges with the Spirit.
This is called the union of soul and Spirit or Kaivalya. Srikrishna, the greatest Yogi, exhorted this
knowledge in Gita through several types of Pranayama techniques. Each and
every technique is a Yagna for which the
investment is Swaasa or Breath but not any
butchering of an innocent animal.
The total period of existence of
Srikrishna, the greatest incarnation is 125 years, 7 months and 8 days. He was 87 years old at the time of Gita
Knowledge to Arjuna.
Lord Krishna says: Oh, Arjuna be a nimittamaatra that is do
your duty as though you are working for God without aspiring for result. In this
way even if you are to kill people in thousands in this Mahabharata war,
you will not become a sinner. So each
and every body who follows this dictum of Bhagavan Srikrishna in letter and
spirit shall become a Krishnian.
Lord Jesus Christ says: if some one gives
a slap to you then show the other cheek. So each and every body who follows
this dictum of Lord Jesus Christ in letter and spirit shall become a Christian.
Arjuna Vishaada, Sankhya, karma, Gnaana
and AtmasamyamaYogas are called Karma Shatkam which means Sravanam (hearing).
Vignaana, Aksharaparabrahma, Rajavidya
rajaguhya, vibhuti, viswaroopa sandarsana and Bhakti Yogas are called Bhakti
Shatkam which means Mananam (memorising).
Kshetrakshtragnavibhaga, gunatrayavibhaga,
purushottamaprapti, Daivasurasampadwibhaga,
Sraddhatraya vibhaga and Mokshasanyasa yogas are called Gnanashatkam
which means nidhidhyasanam or Samadhi meditation.
The subtle mind
consists of impressions of billions of
unfulfilled desires of the past births.
These will be completely eliminated through Yoga Samadhi. The Samadhi acquired Yogi shall benefit not
only himself but also the people around him.
In super conscious level Yogi shall acquire the Theta wave state. At this state the Yogi shall require minimum
glucose. To obtain the state of divinity
is the ultimate goal of meditator.
The brain shall
respond to physical problems. The mind
responds to internal problems. As such
to obtain divinity one should divert one’s mind internally. Mind can be made steady either by meditation
on God or by Gnana i.e., Wisdom. Cerebrum is the centre of consciousness and
seat of voluntary process in human skull.
Cerebellum is the seat of coordinating centre. This
Cerebellum does the work without any hesitation /interruption in conjunction with Cerebrum and causes peace
and tranquility. When there is hindrance
to this process i.e., when negativity
occurs the coordinating centre i.e., Cerebellum cannot work with Centre of consciousness & voluntary process i.e.,
Cerebrum due to hesitation. The more the
hesitation of Cerebellum the more is the disturbance. This leads to the faux pass of the
human. Then more and more he will have Greediness, revenge and
miserliness. Habit of telling lies shall be taking place in human sub
consciousness. When the meditator is
acquiring divine nature he shall hear
the auspicious sound of OM. This means
his KUNDALINI is awakening. This
awakened KUNDALINI further will be hastened by Diensephalan. The Cerebrum &
pineal gland are responsible for super conscious state. This super conscious
state in Sanskrit is called Aadhyaatmika Kendra. This pineal gland start drying
up from the age of seventh year. This
leads to destruction of constructive attitude.
Limbic system in the brain is responsible for mental behaviour/subtle
body. This mental state in Sanskrit is called Aadhidaiwika Kendra. Hypothelmus
gland is responsible for mental
behaviour/subtle body. Pituitary gland is behind the kootastha i.e., the place
behind the eyes in the Aagna+chakra.
Hypothelmus gland is sandwiched between Aagna+chakra and Pituitary
gland. This Aagna+chakra commands the
physical body issuing instructions. This
physical state in Sanskrit is called Aadibhowtika Kendra. Cerebellum is the
coordinator of physical (Aadibhowtika) and super conscious (Aadhyaatmika) states.
The excitation
of Pineal gland is imperative for constructive ideas. For this the third eye between two eye brows
is required to be excited.. For this
kriyayoga and the chanting of Gayatri mantra is essential. Using the yogic methods for opening of third
eye shall lead to mental as well as physical happiness and hence healthiness.
Melatonium is the
chemical required for sound sleep. If
this chemical is active for 1 ½ hour it is enough for sound sleep. This
Melatonium is organized by Pineal gland.
Because of the drying up of
Pineal gland we will not get proper sleep and hence restlessness.
The
Aagna+chakra in the kootastha shall be sending
Its
instructions to the other chakras/ plexus/junction
Boxes through the Pitutary gland behind the
eyes.
These
instructions are received by Exocrine
&
Endocrine
glands. Exocrine glands are associated
with
digestive system. Endocrine glands are
duct
less
glands secreting hormones directly into
the
blood which carries these hormones to the
organs
in the
body. These hormones decrease or increase
carbohydrates, proteins and lipids acting
through
the cells.
These hormones make the cells to
prepare new proteins or help the cells to grow
or
act on other endocrine glands for controlling
their
function.
For example Manipura chakra at the
navel consists of adrenalin gland , Anaahata
chakra at the Heart consists of Thymus gland.
Visuddha chakra at the throat consists of
Thyroid
gland get instructions from the Aagna+chakra like
this. So it is essential to do Yoga
for the healthy
functioning of
these chakras or junction boxes.
For
example:
After getting up from the bed, after attending nature calls, if one does take bath and do
Soorya namaskaarams ( certain Yogaasanaas
specifically to be done at Sun rise & Sun set time) then Moolaadhara chakra
and its related organs shall work
healthily. If one takes food with the money earned by him justly and not by any
illegal means then his Swadhisthaana Chakra and its related organs shall
function healthily. If one admires the beauty of nature and starts seeing in
the nature then his Manipura Chakra and its related organs shall function
healthily. Participating whole heartedly in Cosmic Chantings, Prayers, and
listening to Classical and tender music like Karnataka & Hindustaani etc
but not percussionist loud music and trying to listen to Divine Sound OM then
his Visuddha chakra and its related organs shall function healthily. If one hears Divine Sound OM in Meditation then
his KUNDALINI is awakened. For
functioning of Thymus gland in Heart Yoga is required. Blood circulation is improved by Yoga meditation. Then each and
every cell shall get oxygen. Then both
sympathetic para sympathetic nerves
shall work in coordination.
Brain consists of
three types neuro harmones which are responsible for waata(gas), pitta(heat)
and sleshmam(phlegm). These three are to
be balanced for proper health. For
proper health one should have strong
immune system. For this Mitochondria in
the cells is to be improved.
Mitochondria is a power generator which exists in each living cell.
If the breathing
system is improper then the system of removing carbon in the blood and adding
oxygen in the lungs shall be in peril.
This system of oxygenating blood is done by lungs at the rate of 15
times per second. This is called pulse rate. 35% of Oxygen was available in the nature 100
years ago. Presently it is reduced to
19%. But oxygen is very much required
for healthy living. So only Yogi can withstand this deficiency due to his
techniques of Pranayama i.e., proper breathing
techniques. The stage has come
to getting Oxygen from commercial Oxygen selling saloons in countries like Japan making Oxygen Even the birds of nature are not available
due to emission of Radio waves from microwave towers etc.. One can increase his
pulse rate by practicing Antah kumbhaka Pranayama breathing techniques.
One can decrease his pulse rate by practicing Bahya kumbhaka Pranayama
breathing techniques. Pranayama breathing techniques.consist of controlling atanomous nervous system,
immunization capacity. If one can hear
divine sound
Normally Yogi gets
answers to his queries in his Samadhi state.
How he gets answers is beyond logic.
This is called intuition. Don’t
confuse intuition with intellect.
Intellectual observations may be right or wrong but intutional ideas
cannot be wrong.
10 lakhs years of
healthy life is required for removal of accumulated Karma. Then only animal man becomes man, from man he
will btransformed to divine man and from there to GOD the father. This is possible only through practice of
astaangaYoga of Sage Patanjali.
Illiterate shall utilize his intellect up to 5%, learned up to 8%, and the Yogi utilizes the total 100% intelligence through Astaanga
Yoga. To impart the benefits of Yoga to the mankind is the bounden duty of Yogi. Then it is up to the people to practice Yoga
Meditation i.e., Dhyana or not. One
cannot find unlimited happiness in the limited world. It is something like searching water in the
mirages. Yogi only can find happiness in
meditation. So one should excite the
sleeping KUNDALINI in Mooladhara chakra and wake it up and then the awakened
KUNDALINI should be guided to reach Sahasrara chakra in the head. Then only one will travel from inertia to
divinity.
SOORYA NAADI----
CHANDRA NAADI
Chandra naadi exists
in the left nostril and Surya naadi exists in the right nostril. That is if the life force enters
through left nostril then it is called Chandra naadi. If the life force enters
through right nostril then it is called Surya naadi. In Sanskrit these naadis are also called
swaraas.
One should maintain
soorya naadi i.e., breathing is to be done through right nostril on Sunday,
Tuesday, Thursday (full moon to new moon i.e.,
The KUNDALINI power
in micro level is called MAYA in macro level.
The ancient sages have found out that KUNDALINI power is the root cause
of creation , existence and destruction.
KUNDALINI power exists in animated and inanimated things.
Each living cell
consists of life force in the form of genes.
This gene exists in chromosome.
The genes containing life force are the carriers of hereditary
qualities. The gene contains very
important DNA molecule. If we can balance the six acids of DNA we can get rid
of old age & diseases. Each and ever
human is having 99.9% similar genes. The remaining .01% of genes makes the difference amongst
the humans with different colour, quality & nature.
KRIYAYOGA
We need to spend
nearly 40 thousands of proteins daily for our energy needs. With the regular practice of Kriyayoga we can
increase these proteins and can remove ageing and diseases. The lack of
coordination betweens organs like lever, heart and kidneys etc and Live cells
are the main reason for ageing
and diseases. Genes only can make the
sick cells healthy. The required amount
of push up can be given to genes with KriyaYoga thus leading to the
coordination betweens organs like lever, heart and kidneys etc.
Every live cell is
the replica of human being. Live cell
contains GENE, GENE contains CHROZOME, CHROZOME contains DNA. DNA molecule is very important constituent
part of Live cell. Every live cell can produce protein, GENE and
ENZYMES. GENE shall tell herediray qualities.
HARMONES will provide the
necessary fillip to these Genes and causes healthiness. Only 100 out of
thousands of genes that cause ill health were so far found out. It may take number of years to find out the rest of the disease causing Genes. With
chakra dhyana , beejakshara dhyana in the chakraas i.e., chanting of
root word in the respective plexus, kriya yoga etc., one can produce the
required amount of 40-50 thousands of
proteins for the health of the body, and hence can live with peace and tranquility with out any ill
health. By over indulging in senses man
can not drink or experience the sweetness inherent in the living cell.
Every living cell
contain six acids viz., Deoxy adenylic, guanylic, Ribosy, & citedylic
acids, thymidylic & phosphoric acids and also sweetness. The meditator or the aspiring Yogi while
doing
Ida naadi is river
If you
inhale(poorakam) and fill the kootastha (the place between eye brows) with life
force fully and then exhale (rechakam) life force fully out of Moolaadhara
chakra then there will be generation of electro magnetic force. Surrendering
Senses to GOD is called or prayer. Surrendering Ida,
pingala & sushumna and 5 life forces
is called sacred water ablutions (Abhishekamu) to GOD, Surrendering antahkarana (Mind) is called
lighting candle before GOD Surrendering all the six plexuses is called offering
flowers to GOD, surrendering quality of fire in Manipura Chakra is called
burning incense stick before GOD, surrendering all your desires is called
offering food (naiwedyamu) to GOD. This is called Eeswara pranidhaanamu or
complete surrender.
The meditation in
plexus(chakraas) removes cruelty, revengeful attitude & stealing quality in
Mooladhara chakra, doubtfulness in Swadhisthaana, hatred and one upmanship in
Manipura, passionate mind & I am superior to everybody type of quality in
Anaahata, greediness & chatter box quality in Visuddha and
pride& hastiness in aagna chakraas.
ONTOLOGY
King Janaka &
gargi were the disciples of Sage yaagnyawalka. Sage yaagnyawalka.was worshipper
of SUN GOD. Due to this he could give
Sukla Yajur vedam ( one of the ancient Vedas) to the humanity. Kaatyani & Mitreyi were the wives of Sage
yaagnyawalka. He wanted to distribute
all his property to his two wives.
Mitreyi understands that physical wealth does not provide immortality. The conversation between Sage yaagnyawalka and Mitreyi is culminated
into a beautiful Upanishad called Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad.

yourself. Suppose there is a fire

Mind is oof two
types fickle and stable. Stable mind is desireless and hence happy.
fickle mind causes misery and unhappiness.
That is why mind is the root cause of misery and liberty.
GLANDS------
PLEXUSES(CHAKRAAS)
Glands are two types (1) Exocrine glands associated
with digestive system (2) Duct less Endocrine glands. These glands produces
hormones which work on organs like kidneys, heart etc., to make these organs to
do the required work for us and to keep the body healthy.
The adrenal gland
look like cap on each kidney. This
adrenal Gland is of two parts. The outer
Cortex of adrenal gland secrets two types of
hormones viz., Cortisol for
regulating the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats & proteins and Aldosterone
for maintenance of blood volume & sodium levels. The inner medulla of adrenal gland secrets
adrenaline hormone for withstanding the
physical & mental stress, pain.
Meditation on Swaadhisthaana chakra helps us to maintain good health so
that there will not be kidney stones, frequent urination. Pancreas releases two harmones (1) Insulin
hormone for maintaining blood glucose levels failing which leads to Diabetes
Mellitus. (2) Glucagon hormone is
secreted when glucose levels are low to act on liver. The meditation on Manipura chakra helps to
maintain these hormones thereby helping us to be healthy.

But the whole responsibility is of Brahma.
While chanting the
Mantraas or sacred chantings a definite procedure is followed. Some mantras are to be chanted by raising the tone called Udatta, some are to be chanted in lower tone called
Anudatta, and some are in a balanced tone called Swaritha. The vocal chords are to be trained like
this.

Sacrifice or Yagna is
of three types.
1) PAAKA YAGNA 2) HAVIR YAGNA &
3) SOMA YAGNA.
1) PAAKA
YAGNA----This of seven types viz., Ashtaka , sthaaleepaaka, parvaana, sraavani,
agrahayaani, chaitri & aswaayuja.
There will not be any animal sacrificing.
2) HAVIR YAGNA---- This of seven types viz.,
agniyathana, agnihotra, darsapoornamaasa, agraayana, chaaturmaasya. There will not be sacrifices of animals in
these five types. Niroodhapasubandha
& satraamani will have animal sacrifices.
3) SOMA YAGNA-------
This of seven types viz.,agnisthomaa, atyaagnisthomaa, uktya, shodasi,
vaajapeya, athiratra, & aaporyamaa. There will be animal sacrifices in all
these seven types. In Vajapeya yagna 23
animals are sacrificed. Apart from these
there will be one more Yagna called ASWAMEDHA in which 100 horses are to be
sacrificed. This yagna is exclusively
meant for Kshatriyaas, a warrior
class. In fact sacrifice means
one has to shed all the unwanted negative things of the senses that are
obstructing him to have reunion with God the Father.

PRINCIPLES OF
MAHESWARA

ANCIENT GRAMMAR
In Vedas and the Poetry that followed,
different types of principles of Grammar
called Chandas is used. Each
Sloka or verse consists of four stanzas. Each stanza will have eight alphabets
or letters. Each letter may be a vowel
or a letter formed due to the conjunction of a vowel and consonant. The sloka so formed with this sort of
metering is called anushthubh chandas.
For example the well known “”Suklaambharadharam
vishnum “” of eight letter metering Sloka is of anushthubh chandas. Every Mantra or chanting will have a
reigning deity, one typical procedure as illustrated above, and the sage
related to that Mantra who got it during his meditation. While chanting a Mantra we must keep our
hands on our head thinking that the feet of
the sage who has given that Mantra is on our head and hence we are
respecting him by touching his feet.
Mantras of Veda have
different types of meters of 9, 11,
& 12 letters chandas or grammar.
They are Gaayatri, usnik,
anushtubh, brihati, pankti, trishtubh, jagati .
In Vedic times the
first poetic marvel was the epic RAMAAYANA written by Sage Waalmeeki. The first
Sloka was----maanishaadaprathishtham twam agamaha saaswateesamaha. Yat krauncham mithnaadekam awadhih
kaamamohitam.
This verse of
vaalmeeki Ramaayana is having two meanings.
(1) Oh! Hunter, you have killed
that krauncha bird which was happily pecking with his female bird. Live in
restlessness. (2) Oh! Rama, The couple viz., Ravana and
Mandodari were endowed with lust & ignorance. You have killed Ravana. With this killing you will earn eternal
fame. Here the male bird is Ravana, the
demon, and Mandodari is female bird. The
hunter is Rama who is the Avatara of Lord Sri Mahavishnu.

Everything is Spirit

of offerings, who does offerings, the thing that was put into the fire of spirit. Here offerings means business of senses, offerer is sadhaka the meditator, and lastly
the thing that is offered is life force.
Why because the thing that is a part of Spirit i.e., Aatman has to merge
with Paramaatma or Parabrahma or simply Brahman. As such the person who is
meditating with Pranaayaama process(es) has to merge with Brahman only. That is the ultimate goal.

Some persons (sadhaka

That means they are meditating on the Chakras. Some sadhakaas with courage are directly

Certain devotees
withdraw the powers of hearing, smelling, tasting, touch & seeing and offer as oblations in the fire of inner

This is called
PRATYAAHAARA technique of ashtaanga Yoga.
Paramahansa Yogananda calls this technique as switching of sense
telephones. i.e., fire of inner control.

Some devotees are
obstructing the paths of incoming breath i.e., Praana, and outgoing breath
i.e., apaana. By doing this they are
putting Praana into Apaana and Apaana into Praana. This is nothing but LIFE CONTROL TECHNIQUE OF KRIYA YOGA. It is a wonderful Pranayama Technique of
sending Praana into the Agna + chakra (kootastha) and then to Sahasrara and
from there the apaana to Moolaadhaara chakra through a subtle naadi of Spinal
chord called Sushumna. Sadguru Sri Sri
Paramahansa Yogananda says by doing
Kriya Yoga Pranayama, the bodily decay associated with apana stops. The devotee realizes the illusion of growth
and decay of the body as flesh but of lifetrons. Kriya Yoga is not breath
control but life force control.

Some devotees are
consuming limited food. They are
submitting life force into life force itself.
That means the businesses of organs of action (karmendriyas) i.e.,
assimilation, metabolism etc and the businesses of organs of senses like
hearing power, smelling power etc., are controlled by certain devotees. With this the mind is controlled. There by
unsteady life force becomes steady. Mind
can be controlled in two ways, one through
the path of Gnana or second through
the path of dhyana (meditation).
With the steady mind and steady Prana the Atma will get united with
Brahman. One can learn this technique
through YSS lessons as taught by the Great Guru Sri Sri Paraamahansa Yogananda.

All these spiritual

All karma ultimately
ends with gnaana i.e., wisdom. The
wisdom gained by doing spiritual fire ceremonies through praanaayaama
techniques are far superior and eternal
compared to material sacrifices. After the ultimate goal is the reunion of
Atman and Paramaatmman. All other
actions are for removing hunger of this physical body only.
One cannot understand
7th table without understanding the first six tables in numerical
mathematics. Similarly allegorically one
should go through these practices. Then
only one can do the superior spiritual fire techniques of Pranayama.
We are able to explain to our children so many things of Mathematics
& other subjects because of the past study experience of those respective
subjects. That is why the present
depends on the past and the future depends on the present.

That eternal wisdom
one should gain it from a sadguru by total surrendering of service and

Even though we have

down. The reunion of Atman with Brahman
is possible even if you are a novice and starts sadhana now.

Yogi is superior to
the body disciplining ascetics, pundits who are well versed with religious
books or scriptures, persons who think that work is worship or persons who do
the vedic rituals. After graduating from
electrical engineering , if a person cannot fix a fuse cartridge then what is
the utility of that studies. Like wise
after doing all the above things if those works/rituals are not helpful to him to unite with Brahman they are
all futile. That is why Yogi who does
spiritual fire techniques of Pranayama is definitely superior to all.

That is the Sanskrit meaning of Patanjali. The combination of Severe Penance, reading
& understanding of scriptures, and total surrender to GOD is called
Kriyayoga. Patanjali was born to his parents like this. Surrendering all the results of Karma to God
is called Eeswara pranidhaanam.

Patanjali yoga sutras 2---49
After mastering the sitting
posture in meditation, the control over breath is mastered. This mastery leads to liberation as the breath is the only
cord or link between Brahman and this inert body.
The meditating Yogi hears
There is one Raasee on either
side of each chakra (Plexus) from Mooladhara in the bottom to Agna + chakra in
Kootastham( the place between two eye brows).
With mooladhara having 2 Rasees,
swadhishtaana (2), manipura (2), anaahata (2), visuddha(2), Agna (2
rasees), it comes to total of 12 rasees.
The displacement of planet Sun in
each month from one Rasi to another Rasi
of 12 rasees is called sankramanam.
So there are 12 displacements for
Sun which comes to one year. Out of these two sankramanams are very
important. They are; when Sun enters
Makara raasi it is Makara Sankranti,
this is called northern solstice or UTTARAYANAM, and when Sun enters
Karkata raasi it is karkataka Sankranti,
this is called southern solstice or DAKHINAYANAM. Kriyayogi shall direct
his life force from Mooladhara chakra to Agna chakra in kootastha, and from Agna chakra in kootastha to
Mooladhara chakra at the bottom of spinal cord.
By doing this he will be seeing the Atman (Sun) in all these six
chakraas six times while directing his life force from Mooladhara chakra to Agna
chakra in kootastha, and six times again while directing his life force from Agna chakra in kootastha
to Mooladhara chakra at the bottom of spinal cord. This amounts to seeing the
Atman (Sun) 12 times each time he does one KRIYA. So the Kriya yogi experiences his One year
past Karma in one KRIYA in a matter of say 45 seconds. That is why Kriya Yoga is aeroplane way of
reaching GOD.
10 lakhs years of healthy life
is required to experience our past karma.
It is highly impossible as no one can live more than 100 years that too
healthy life. As we cover long distance
within a matter of few hours by aircraft
which is otherwise may take years, likewise Kriya Yoga is. In one life time itself kriya yogi can
experience 10 lakhs years of development.
Ordinarily in 6,12,18,24,30,36,42 & 48 years Kriya yogi can achieve
wonderful development.
Kriyayogi shall take
the experiences of his sadhana alongwith him to his next incarnation. The life of Kriyayogi is not be influenced by
his karma of his past births. His life will
be completely guided by his Atman. Kriya Yoga is to be practiced with
controlled food habits and in complete solitude. Han sau is also Yoga procedure which can be
done either before or after the meals, in complete solitude, or in group and
even while traveling when you are not the driver. Kriya Yoga consists of:----
1) Hatha Yoga
(energisation exercises, (2) Layayoga (
Han sau &
The space between eye
brows is called kootastha or Agnaa+.
This Kootastha is +ve pole.
Mooladhara Chakra is –ve pole.
When the life force is rotated from Mooladhara Chakrai.e., –ve pole to Kootastha i.e., +ve pole, and again from Kootastha to
Mooladhara, the spinal cord is energized. Then all the currents from Mooladhara
and Visuddha chakra in the throat are
directed to Sahasraara. Then the Yogi
shall get unparalleled bliss. If Certain
appropriate Mudraa or posture made with hand (given in the chart) in the
relative Chakra is also to be done with this sadhana. Then the spinal chord is further energized. Life force is having both awareness and
energy. Oxygen is having only
energy. Kriyayoaga is funeral to all
sorrows, physical, mental & spiritual.
Both body and mind will come under the control of Kriyayogi.
This control of body and mind leads to kundalini awakening. Then the yogi obtains pure consciousness
state. Three things are responsible for
our uncontrolled behaviour. They are (1)
Mind, (2) Breath and (3) desire.
If these three are controlled then we can achieve pure consciousness
state.
The left side of spinal cord exists subtle Ida
naadi, right side exists subtle pingala naadi and in the middle of subtle spinal exists sushumna naadi. Ida takes care of mental business, pingala
takes care of physical business and sushumna naadi coordinates both mental and
physical problems. Chakraas are
something like junction boxes. Unsteady
breath causes unsteady mind. Pranayama
is the only way to have steady mind.
Mind forms from the age of eight years.
Till then the boy/girl will lead
the life merrily and happily due to the guidance of soul. That is the region we say children are the
Gods.
Ancient religions
Kapalika religion:

Sankara
vijayam 15---21---14
There was a religion called Kapalika
matam. The followers of this religion is
called Kaapaalikaas. Kaapalikaas had a
leader called Krakacha. As per his dictum
the kaapalikaas wear blooded skulls as a garland around their neck. They have to worship their deity with liquor.
Otherwise their deity Kaalabhairawa with his consort Parwati will not be happy
and hence will not appear before them.
They believe only in merrymaking.
Drinking and sex with or promiscuity with whom so ever they like
irrespective of whatsoever may be the
relationship are quite common for them
and it is not a sin. Enjoy the life and
worship Kalaabhairawa. At that time period,
Sri Adi Sankaraachaarya, the great saint,
was visiting Rameshwaram temple situated in the
He was followed by his disciples like sri
Padmapaada, hastaamalaka, samitpaani, chidwilaasa, gnaanakanda, wishnugupta,
suddhakeerti, bhaanumareechi, krishnadarsana, buddhivriddhi, virinchipaada,
suddhaananta and Anandagiri etc. they
were all traveling under the protective cover of a king called Sudhanva and his
soldiers. King Sudhanva killed several
followers of Krakacha who were torturing the followers of Sri Adi
Sankaraachaarya. Angered by this Krakacha wanted to kill the followers of Sri
Adi Sankaraachaarya with an axe.

Seeing
his followers are running hither and thither with fear, to save his
fleeing followers, Aadi Sankaraachaarya
killed those kaapalikaas wearing a Trisoola. Trisoola is a metalled weapon with three
sharp iron edges. Even a sage can follow
violence and kill evil and cruel persons when it is needed to protect dharma.
Then the deity Kalabhairava appeared before Aadi Sankaraachaarya and killed that Krakacha, the leader of
Kapaalikaas.
CHAARVAAKA RELIGION
Charvaaka iddham hyaakarod vichaaram
moorkhairjanair vyaaptamidam samastam

Sankara
vijayam 15—21—21
Chaarvaakaas believe that the body that can
be seen with naked eye only exists and nothing
else beyond that exists. They don’t believe in subtle body, idea body
and soul. The body only is Atma. Jeeva is not having separate existence except
body and senses. To say that the invisible soul
is truth and all else is delusion is folly. After death there is no rebirth. The decay of body is liberation and
truth. Heaven, hell, other worlds,
reincarnation, the dead people will live happily in paraloka or other worlds,
to do shraaddha karmas ( certain religious formalities done while burying or
burning the dead body) for appeasing Gods in the other world(s), all these are
bunkum or senseless talk. Misery and
happiness are confined to living beings only.
Charvaakaas are the abusers of Vedaas(Hindu classics). Consciousness exists only due to the combination of earth,
water, fire and air. When the combination of earth, water, fire and air occurs
the jeeva ( praana or Consciousness) automatically comes into this physical
body. After death this combination is
disturbed and hence as there is no place to live, jeeva goes out. When there is
a pot there exists a space in the pot.
When the pot is broken the space in that pot goes nowhere. Likewise as there is no body to live the
Jeeva/ praana or Consciousness does not go to the other world. It remains there only. So Jeeva and body are one and the same thing
is theory of Charwaakaas. Hindus perform
so many rituals immediately after the death of a person for 12 to 13 days and
also every year on the day that person died.
Even some persons go to holy places like
JAINA RELIGION
Jeevaatmanaa sthitasyoti gnaanamaathrena
sarvadaa
Muktatwaat tasya dehasya paataattu
samanantaram
Jinadeva
exists in the hearts of all living beings. Jinadeva is the embodiment of wisdom. As such he is liberated. By several ablutions this corrupted body
cannot be cleansed. After the decay of
the body, the soul gets purified.
There are two types of jains. They are jains
and arhataas. These two types of jains
are called maadhyamikaas. Those who are
all well versed and conversant with their religion aare called Arhataas.
Saptabhangi is the famous philosophy of Arhataas of Jain religion. There are seven important parts in this
Saptabhangi. If one knows the knowledge
of this SAPTABHANGI then he can be liberated.
As per this religion the universe or Jagat,
living beings, the karma of living beings and bondages are eternal and hence
had no beginning and ending.
Saptabhangi knowledge
1) Syadastikam---- thing exists concept.
2) Syannastikam---- thing does not exist concept.
3)Syadastinaasticam---- thing exists and does
not exist concept.
4)Syadavaktavya------cannot say thing exists
concept.
5) Syadastichaavakt6avyaha--- thing exists but can
not say
thing exists concept.
6) Syaannasticha avyktavyaha----- thing does not exist but cannot say it does not
exists concept.
7) Syadasticha naasticha avaktavyaha----- we
can not say whether thing exists or does
not exist concept.
Every thing can be determined as nitya
saptabhangi or anitya saptabhangi as per the above saptabhangi knowledge.
The matter had infinite qualities and same is
with saptabhangi..
This is known as Syadwaadam or Saptabhangi
justice.
Consciousness and unconsciousness are the two
things agreed by Jains. The knowledge of
these two things is real wisdom. One should grasp the things that are desired
and the rest undesired things are to be given up. Except Jina nothing else exists. There is no eternal God. Sarvagna, veetaraaga, arhan, kewali,
teerthamkrita and Jina are the six of their deities. Both Buddhists and Jains accept this
Syadwaadam or Saptabhangi justice. The practically invisible God is not
acceptable to both Buddhists and Jains.
The following is the explanatory meaning
regarding the seven things mentioned Saptabhangi mentioned earlier.
1)Jeevam—guide, embodiment of wisdom &
conscious thing.
2) Ajeevam---inert thing.
Astikaayams are formed in relation to this
Jeeva & Ajeeva. These Astikaayams are of five types. They are a)
Jeevaastikaayam, b) Pudgalaastikaayam, c) Dharmaastikaayam, d)Adharmaastikaayam
& e) Aakaastikaayam.
Again this (a) Jeevaastikaayam is of three types. They are Baddha, Mukta aand Nityasiddha. These three are of three different
levels. Nityasiddha is called Aarhan. He is not having binding and liberation. Mukta gets liberation due to sadhana. Baddha is always binding.
b) Pudgalaastikaayam--- earth, water, fire,
air, body and consciousness are called
Pudgalaastikaayam. That means atoms responsible for creation.
c) Dharmaastikaayam---- Karma that gives
us health, peace & tranquility
and detach us from this worldly
attachment and takes us to the higher levels of consciousness is
called Dharmaastikaayam
d) Adharmaastikaayam----That sort of Karma
which is not done according to Jain classics takes us to the lower levels of
consciousness is called
Adharmaastikaayam. Restlessness, ill health & misery are the results
of this.
e) Aakaastikaayam---- This is of two
types. i) Lokaakasam which lives in
higher echelons of worlds., and ii) Alokaakasam which is beyond all worlds and
is the place for liberated beings.
The things which were explained above belong
to Jeevqa & Ajeeva Aastikaayams.
3) Aasravam
This the third part of Saptabhangi
knowledge. The knowledge gained with the
help of senses that touches self illumination
is called Aasravam.
4) Samvara
Withdrawal
from the senses and the knowledge so gained for enlightenment.
5) Nirjaram
This Nirjaram is got due to the traits of
past birth call4ed sanskaraas and
Neutral (Rajo guna) quality. One
wanted to experience good or bad karma because of Nirjaram. One gets relieved of Karma of past births
after experiencing it. So Nirjaram
removes the results of good and bad Karma.
6) Bandham---
This the sixth part of Saptabhangi knowledge. The classics of Jaina are called Aarhata
Darsanaas. They say that the Karma is of two types. They are Ghaatika karma and Aghaatika Karma. Again Ghaatika karma is of Four types and Aghaatika Karma is of four types. This tantamount to Eight type of Karma.
a) Ghaatika karma -----
i) Gnaanaavaraneeya---One will get the thing
(salvation) only by wisdom.
ii) Darsanaavaraneeyam---Only reading the
Jaina scriptures one will attain salvation.
iii) Mohaneeyam---- Not believing the advice
of Guru.
iv) Antaraaya--- The knowledge that destroy
us.
The above four are called obstructions of
wisdom.
b) Agaatika Karma-----
i) Vedaneeyam--- The body illuminating with
Satwaguna i.e., Positive qualities.
ii) Naamikamu--- To believe firmly that I am
an embodiment of Positive
qualities. I am like a Zygote in the
womb of a mother which is the beginning of the formation as an infant. A zygote will not have any good or bad
qualities.
iii) Gotrikam—This cannot be described. This
is the state earlier to Zygote. This
gives eligibility to be a disciple
of JINADESIKENDRA.
iv) aayushkam--- Embodiment of Sperm &
ova or the state that transforms into Body.
The above four are not the obstructions of
wisdom or knowledge or gnaana.
7) Moksha---- This the last seventh part of Saptabhangi knowledge. This state is beyond Dharma and Adharma, beyond existence and non existence
and beyond logic called salvation.
This is the saptabhangi knowledge. With this knowledge one will get eternal
peace and happiness.
As per the magnitude of the physical body,
Jeeva’s existence will be bigger in size
in the elephant and smaller in the ant. The parts are forming according to the size and magnitude of the body. Jeeva or soul depends on these organs. As such the size of the Jeeva also will be of
bigger size. Hence the organs and the Jeeva or soul both are transforming eternally. Apart from soul nothing else exists. There is no such thing called EESWARA or GOD
the father. In this respect both Jains
and Buddhists accepts or agrees this nihilism.
This Jagat/Universe and soul both are eternal. They have no beginning and end.
Maadhyamikaas believes the knowledge of elements
but they will not accept their permanence.
They say that the elements are temporary.
Yogaachaara agrees the configuration and
science of intellect. They say that
though things appear to exist due to intellect but in reality they do not exist
at all.
Sautraantika says that the existence of
elements or things are real internally only but outwardly they are not real at
all. What they mean to say is the things
that appears physically are untrue. What
the thing contains internally is true.
Vaibhaashika believes the vacuum as
reality. The destruction of attachment
is salvation. This is again agreed upon
by all the four i.e., Maadhyamikaas,
Yogaachaaras, Sautraantikas and Vaibhaashikas.
Jains and Buddhists both will agree that soul
is eternal. They won’t accept
EESWARA. This amounts to nihilism or
nireeswaravada. Both will agree
saptabhangi and swadwaada.
ADI SANKARAACHAARYA
Adi Sankaracharya of
Jeevasya deham
tritayam hi vidyate sthoolascha sookshmascha tathaiwa kaaranam
That
is jeeva is having two other bodies called subtle and Idea apart from physical
body. To think that Iam different from
GOD is ignorance. Realization of ‘’ I and God are one and the same’’ is the
real wisdom and liberation. Man cannot
be liberated due to the decay of physical body only.
Kartaa bhoktaaham paranandaroopo manwaanaswaa
bheeshta masyaasti yaawat taawat
kreedanneshu deheshu paschaat deham tyaktwaa mukta ityukta aaha.
Iam the doer and enjoyer. Iam the parama ananda roopa. Iam the blissful
person. So thinking man is getting
liberated. Wisdom or aatmagnaan is one
and steady. It cannot change
irrespective of cold and heat, misery or happiness. Wisdom is nothing but truth only and truth is
absolute.
Jeeva is not MAHAT or Atom. Jeewaastikadwyam and knowledge of Saptabhangi both cannot be tools for
salvation. Both are existence and non
existence forms and mutually oppose each other.
Two different types of Dharma cannot be made applicable at a time to
same thing that is Jeeva or soul. Even
Jeeva is not permanent. Pure wisdom
brings salvation.
God the father or Brahman is the creator of
this Universe/Jagat. Universe/Jagat
and Jeeva both are unreal. They are
like a dream. Brahman is manifesting
this Universe, making the existence of this Jagat and destructing this Universe. He is the G generator, O operator and D
destructor. He himself is manifesting as JAGAT or Jeeva and playing.
Guna saamyam pradhaanam syaat
mattatwaadikaaranam
Avyaktam vyaktabhaavamcha jagatyekam
paraatparam
These
three qualities i.e., satwa, rajas and tamas together are called PRADHANAM..
The combination of these three qualities lead to MAHAT and SHRISHTI or CREATION.
This Pradhanam when it is unmanifested it is called AVYAKTAM or IDEAL and when it is manifested it is called
VYAKTAM or Physical Universe. Mukti or liberation if one understands this
knowledge.
Naa sabda meekshate (Brahma sutra)
Sound cannot see. The combination of three qualities is
Pradhaanam. This combination is not
sound less. It is having sound.
So the Pradhanam which is not
sound less cannot be cause of this creation.
All other things are inert except Brahman. Brahman is only sentient. An insentient and inert Nature cannot be the
cause of creation. Brahman is the cause
of creation.
All the pancha bhootaas came into existence
because of Brahman. Brahman is only
eternal. The things get created or
destroyed as per the wishes of GOD. The
inert and insentient things cannot have this power.
Even Vedas are not eternal. ParaBrahma is only eternal.
Accept Karma that Mimamsa says but discard
that very karma to get liberated. Truth
is one and absolute. Paramatma is tangible as saguna and intangible as nirguna
niraakaara Brahman.
He accepts all six pramanas viz..,
pratyaksha, anumanaetc.
VEDANTAM
Nistraigunyobhava i.e., discard all the three
qualities of satwa, rajas and tamo. Total surrender to God leads to
salvation. God is omnipotent,
omnipresent and omniscient. Except God
all else is insentient. God is the efficient cause (nimitta kaaranam) &
material cause (dravya kaaranam). Maya (inherent of God) is instrumental
cause(sadhana kaaranam).
Mimamsikaas hold Vedic Karma is only goal for
everybody. Upanishats are called
Vedanta. These Upanishats teach us about
Parabrahma. Sri AdiSankaracharya holds the view that even Vedas are not
eternal. ParaBrahma is only eternal.
Till you attain the knowledge of liberation the Upanishats are eternal. All others are perishable.
BUDDHISM
For salvation, starving the body and
unbearable and studious principles, are not required. Buddha has suggested eight fold path for
truthful living. They are: (1) Samyak drishti----one should have the
knowledge of misery, reason for misery,
avoiding that memory, (2) samyak
sankalpa----giving up pleasures of senses and revengefulness, not contemplating harm to others, right
thinking, 3)Samyak waakku----- speaking of truth only,. 4) Samyak Karma------
rightful behaviour, nonviolence and non stealing,
5) Samyak Jeevanam---- moral living, 6)Samyak krishi----one should devoid of
vice and have self control 7) Samyak smriti--- fully matured mind and 8)Samyak
Samadhi---- Peace and tranquility.
Baahyaartha wadaas, yogacharees and
maadhyamikaas are important amongst the followers of religion of Buddha.
Again this Baahyaartha wadaas are of two
types. They are sautraantikaas and
vaibhaashikaas.
Sautraantikaas belive in Anumaana pramaana
i.e., indirect perception. What ever
knowledge one wanted to grasp can be got only by this anumaana pramaana.
Vaibhaashikaas believe in pratyaksha pramaana
i.e., direct perception. That means the
one that is appearing before the naked eyes is only the truth. But both sautraantikaas and vaibhaashikaas
have the same perception in regard to decay of the things.
Yogacharees are also of two types. They are Vignaanavadees and soonyawadees.
Vignaanavadees believe that wisdom
(atmagnaan) is temporary and of
different types.
SANKHYA PHILOSOPHY
Nature and Purusha are two different
things. The knower of cause is Purusha.
This Purusha is quality less and
formless. He is witness only. If
butter is kept nearer to heat, it melts even though the butter is not kept
directly on the heater. Like wise
Purusha is nearer to Nature. Nature is also called Maya. HE will work as a catalyst resulting in creation that comes out of nature. He does not do anything directly.
Soul and Purusha is one and the same
thing. He is the cause of everything but does not do anything directly. Maya is the
root cause of creation. The whole
Universe is made of 24 elements or tatwaas.
First and foremost thing is Maya
herself. This is also called PRADHAANAM.
Next came MAHAT. Man/woman is having
intellect. This is called Micro level intellect. Mahat is the intellect of Nature. This is Macro level intellect.
Next came EGO. This is of two types. i)the sentient Life force inherent with
energy and awareness, intellect, five organs of senses, and five organs of
action, ii)insentient five tanmatraas, five mahabhootaas.
Eye, nose, ear, tounge and skin are the five
sense organs. Man can know about
external things with the help of thse sense organs.
Mouth, feet, hands, anus and phallus are the
five action organs.
Hearing, touch, seeing power, tasting
power, and smelling power are called
Tanmatraas.
Ether, air, fire, water and earthy are Pancha
Maha bhootaas.
So these 24 elements viz., Nature, mahat,
ego, mind, five sense organs, five action organs, five
tanmatraas, five pancha mahabhootaas , together constitute this Universe or individual
Jeeva.
Saankhyam does not talk about Brahman. Brahman, Nature & Maya are all one and
the same as per Hindu Vedanta. Satwa
(positive), Rajas (neutral & Tamas (negative) are the three qualities. Both
saankhya and Vedanta accepts these three
qualities. These three qualities are
responsible for the misery. Salvation
can be obtained by shedding the above 24 elements. Nature is the
material (dravya), efficient (nimitta) and instrumental (sadhana)
causes. Satwa, rajas & tamas are the
matter. The manifestation of these three
qualities is mahat in macro level and buddhi(intellect) in micro level. Any object from Buddhi to stone is the
permutations and combinations of these three qualities only. The difference is in physical, subtle and
ideal. Cause is subtle and effect is
physical. All ideas are collected and sent to the Intellect by mind. What is to be done is decided by the mahat in
macro level and by buddhi(intellect) in micro level. Ego came out of this
Mahat. Ideal and subtler things came latter. The combinations of these subtler
particles lead to this external physical
universe. PURUSHA is beyond this three
qualities and Nature. PURUSHA is not
Buddhi, mind, Tanmaatraas (powers of taste, sound, touch, seeing and smell) and
physical, subtle and ideal bodies. Purusha is eternal. These Purushaas are infinite. Buddhi or macro mahat came first. Matter came latter. The combination of internal ideal forces is
called mind. External forces and this
mind combined to form this physical world or body.
Tam kaapila praahucha moolayonihi kim vaa
swatantraachidadhishthitaawaa
jagannidaanam wada sarvawitwaannochet pravesastawa durlabhasyaat.
Is Moola prakriti or Nature by itself
independantly the root cause of
creation or with the help of sentient Purusha ?
Because Saamkhyaas belive that the Nature is not inert and also
independent. Hence it is the root cause
of this creation.
Swayam swatantraat trigunaatmikaasatee.
Nature comprises three qualities i.e.,
positive, neutral and negative. They
combine in different proportions and hence the creation or Jagat is
manifested. Nature means character. So
generation (shrishti), operation/existence (sthiti), destruction (laya) depend
on character.
PARAMAANUVAADAM
Vidhaayasrushtwaavividhaanscha jeevaanaanaiswayam
saakshivadesha poornaha
Brahman is the owner of this whole
Universe. But he is manifesting
universes with the five panchamahabhootaas (ether, air, fire, water and
earth.).. At the time of creation these
five are combined and at destruction they are separated. So with the combination of the subtle
panchabhootaas creation occurs, and with their seperation deluge or pralayam occurs. So the
combination and separation of these are the cause of creation and deluge.
Certain interpretations
Sat Karma
means good works done for the betterment of the society and self. They are of two types. i) ishtam i.e., performing sacrifices, ii)
poortam that is constructing water
tanks, hospitals and schools etc.
Aswamedham:

Ruling the kingdom and its subjects with

propitiate the deity or God.

Keeping the Food and Senses clean is
GOMEDHAM. Your senses will work
according to the type of food you take. If you take saatwik food like milk and fruits
the senses will be cool and peaceful. If
you take Rajasic food like meat etc then you will be restless and prone to
anger. If you take tamasic food then you
will be proned to sleep and ignorance.
The funeral rites that are done after the
death as per their religion is called NARAMEDHAM.
The particles of earth , water and fire combine together in the air and appears in blue
colour.
In Sanskrit there is a mention of word Mantri
(Minister). From this Mantri two other
words namely Mantram and Mantraangam are derived. The one who can think wisely
is called Mantri. The thinking which can
protect the mind is called mantra or
mantram. The sphere of thinking is
called mantrangam. Every thing is the
result of thinking only. Medicines, weapons, yoga systems, reading, writing, poetry and several creative
works came out due to thinking only. The
weapons mentioned in the Mahabharata war like Agneeyaastra, vaarunaastra,
naagapaasa and sammohanaasstra etc are
the result of thinking only. Astra means
weapon. Agneeyaastra means the one that emanates fire out of it, , vaarunaastra
means the one that produces water out of it, Naaga paasa means the one that makes the senses immobile , and
sammohanaasstra means the one
that makes the opponents senseless. In
Agneyaastra they fill the weapon with some combustible material of one or two
types which when thrown against the enemy in the open air shall produce fire
with oxygen in the air acting as catalyst for combustion. In varunaastra hydrogen and oxygen are packed
in such a way that when thrown against the enemy in the open air shall produce
water when combined. Naaga paasa is like
a local anesthesia. That particular
limb/organ/sense gets immobilized.
Similarly sammohanaastra makes the opponent completely senseless for
some assigned time period just like in major clinical operations in hospitals.
All
great learned people, yogis like
Patanjali etc, emperors like Sibi, Raajaas or kings like Harischandra,
Janaka etc, saints like Vashista, viswaamitra etc., religions, education, came
out of this great India. Several of
these great people died during Mahabharata war some more than 5000 years
ago.

There is a saying. Castor plant is a very small plant. Where there are no plants at all this castor
plant is considered to be a big tree.
Kulakshaye pranasyanti
kuladharmaassanatanaaha
Dharmenashte kulam krutsnam adharmobhi bhavatyuta. Bhagavat Geeta
1---40
Kulam means caste. These castes are formed
according to the qualities. If the caste is destroyed then the qualities of
those castes also get destroyed. Then
the next casualty is Dharma. If Dharma
is destroyed then the whole system gets destroyed.
This is what exactly has happened. After
Mahabharata war ancient wisdom, Dharma and Veda vidya started getting
destroyed. All elderly and wise people died.
All young and skilled able bodied people died. The system has come under the control of children
and widows. The progeny due to the
wedlock of elderly widows and young lads etc
without any guidance of experienced and learned adults resulted in
anarchy. Several religions/philosophies
like Charvakaas, kaapaalikaas etc came into effect. The one who is mighty could grab the chunk of
land and started ruling the people whimsically without ant rhyme and rule. Those who oppose them will be ruthlessly
killed. Lust, meat eating, incestuous
animal pleasure etc have become common.
Even they started interpolating and interpreting the scriptures as per their wishes. Animal sacrifices were introduced event hough
there was no animal sacrifice in the scriptures to propitiate the God. For that they started giving the explanation
that certain branches of Vedas were destroyed
and in those destroyed branches these things like human sacrifices,
animal sacrifices and meat eating were mentioned. If the leaves and branches of a mango tree is
cut and when the leaves and branches come again then they will be of that mango
only. God was described in the
undestroyed parts of Veda branches available to us today as paramadayalu meaning He is the embodiment of magnanimity
& Dharma. Then how a magnanimous God
becomes cruel and ask for human & animal sacrifices and encourages meat
eating in the branches of destroyed Veda.

After Mahabharat war Bharat was divided into
several provinces. The original Sanskrit
language and Gurukul system of education was destroyed. Several local dialects came into existence.

Braaqhmana, kshyatriya, vaisya and Sudra are
the four castes created by me as per their Gunaas( qualities) and not as per
their births.
Instead of the dictum of Dharma people
started following Adharma. The caste is
recognized as per their parents instead of dexterity. In ancient times caste is
like a designation such as Major, Brigadier etc. The institution of Kings became hereditary. The king should be brave, dutiful and
truthful. Because of this hereditary
system of following the biological caste system, weak kings who are unable to protect Dharma
and give able leadership came into existence.
This resulted in frequent quarrels amongst the kings resulting in
further destruction of

Chaturdasa Vidyas (14 branches of learningf
There are 14 branches of learning. They are (1) four Vedas viz., Rigveda,
Yajurveda, Samaveda & Atharvanaveda.,
(2) Sadangas or Six Angas viz., Siksha
(phonetics), vyakarana (grammar), Nirukta (lexicon, etymology), Kalpa (manual
of rituals), Chandas (prosody), Jyotisa
(astronomy-astrology). They say that
Siksha (phonetics) is like a nose of Veda, Vyakarana (grammar) is mouth of
Veda, Nirukta (lexicon, etymology) is like
ears of Veda, Kalpa (manual of
rituals) is like hands of Veda,
Chandas (prosody) is like feet of Veda,
Jyotisa (astronomy-astrology)is like
eyes of Veda.
3) Four upaangaas. They are helpers
(auxiliary ) to a subject. They are
Mimamsa, Nyaya, puranaas & Dharma Sastra.
Siksha (phonetics):
Each syllable of a mantra is to be pronounced
in a specific measure, not less and not more.
If you tell some body ‘’SHUT UP’’, he gets annoyed. To the same person if you say ‘’Please do not
make noise’’ he will not get annoyed.
Similarly swara or phonetics are very important in mantras.
Vyakarana (grammar)
It is like a face of the body. It tells the quality of the language.
Chandas (prosody), the feet of Veda
The riks of Rigveda and Saamaveda is in
poetric form. Non-vedic poetry is in
Slokas. The Yajurveda consists of both
prose and poetry. Major part of Vedas is of poetry. Prose is called Gadya and
poetry is Padya. All mantras in Vedas is
of verses. So they are called Chandas
meaning poetic metre. Or prosody. Whether the form of the given mantra is right
or not is determined by Chandas.
Nirukta (lexicon, etymology), the ears of Veda
Nirukta is dictionary. The origin of the
words or the root (dhatu) of that word.
In the beginning the world language was Sanskrit. Later on the local dialects came into effect with
their origin in Sanskrit.
Jyotisa (astronomy-astrology), the eyes of Veda.
Jyotisa includes both astronomy&
astrology. Astronomy is the science of
position of planets and heavenly bodies.
Astrology is the science of finding out the position of sun, the moon,
stars/asterisms or 27 Nakshatras like Aswani, Bharani and Krittika etc &
constellations or Zodiac signs called Rasis Leo, Scorpio, aeries etc in relation to the birth of a
child and their effect on that child and the poojas/prayers that are to be
performed at the time of birth,
grihapravesa (constructing and entering into new house etc) ceremonies
etc..
Kalpa (manual of
rituals),the hands of Veda
The application of the above to attain
liberation is Kalpa. There are about 40
samsakaras or vedic rites that are to be performed right from conception to
death. They are called grihasutras &
sratasutras.
Now we will discuss briefly about Four
upaangaas. They are Mimamsa, Nyaya,
puranaas & Dharma Sastra.
MIMAMSA
Mimamsa is of two types. they are Poorva
mimamsa and Uttara mimamsa..
Poorvamimamsa deals with the importance
of sacrifices and other rites of
karmakanda of Vedas.
Uttara mimamsa deals with the importance of
realization of the self taught in the Gnaanakanda of the Vedas. Brahmasutras and Upanishads constitute the
Uttara Mimamsa.
POORVA MIMAMSA
First a question related to Veda is raised,
then authenticity of its meaning called
samsaya is put forward, then the opponent’s view is presented, (opposition
party is called as poorvapakshi), that view is refuted by a party called
uttarapakshi, then the conclusion called nirnaya or decision is arrived. The
whole process of coming to a fruitful conclusion after discussion is called
Adhikarana. JAIMINI MAHARSHI is the founder of Poorvamimasa sutras. Both Sankhyas and mimasakas have the same view that God the
father cannot be the creator of this universe.
He will not award the fruits of our actions. Our Karma awards the
fruits. Eeswara is pure knowledge personified.
He is sentient. The universe is
full of stones, dust etc. In effect it
is insentient. So sentient God can not
be the creator of this insentient Jagat.
We get the results of our karma by ourselves but not with the
interference of God. Only VEDIC karmas
are to be followed, rest are to be discarded.
The followers of Vedas are called Vedantis. Vedantis say that the Purusha mentioned by
Sankhyas is NirgunaBrahma. He becomes
SahunaBrahma and forms this Jagat and also awards the result of our Karma.
Performance of Vedic rites only give us health, wealth and salvation.
Nyaya
Nyaya is also called tarka sastra. Gautama is
its author. Nyaya means syllogism or
justice. Tarka means logic. Justice and logic always goes hand in hand.
The followers of Nyaya are called Naiyyayikaas.
They try to establish the existence of Eeswara through logic. Liberation or salvation is like a sky
spreaded everywhere, without any form.
The wisdom that is illuminated with pure self of exalted state.
Eeswara like a potter is the creator of this
Universe. He is the instrumental
cause. He is the guide. Eeswara and
Universe are separate entities. Universe
is eternal and Eeswara is its guide.
Vaiseshika
This also is a part of Nyaya sastra. Because of its speciality it is called
vaiseshika. KANADA is its author. This
Jagat is made by Eeswara with several permutations and combinations of
different atoms. The individual self
(vyashtatma) in each living being and
this JAGAT is different from Eeswara is
rendered by both naiyyayikaas (followers of Nyaya) and vaisheshikaas(followers
of Kanad’s Vaisheshika). Parameswara or Brahman or God the father is the
Creator or Karta.. Vaishesikas firmly
believe this and establishes this fact by logic.
Dravya guna karma saamaanya visesha
samavaayaabhaavaaha sapta padaardhaaha.
Dravya means substance, guna means quality,
karma means action, samaanya means association.
Visesha means speciality or
difference. samaavaaaya means in born or inherence. Abhaava means non existence.
Dravya is Padartha. All other six
things viz., Guna, Karma, saamaanya, visesha, samavaaya & abhaava
are depending on the Dravya and hence these six are also called matter.
Guna means cruelty, magnanimity, hard, soft,
colour, bravery etc. Karma means seeing,
smelling, talking and eating etc.
Saamaanya means species. Every
matter cannot be of the same species.
They might be cows, goats, men,women, and plants etc. Visesha means speciality like intelligence,
poor, cows that give more milk and less milk etc. Samavaaya means inherence. Ex: you cannot separate sun and sun
rays. Abhava means inert or not doing
anything. You must follow abhava in
certain situations. Ex: Do not drink wine is the dictum of Vedas. We are benefited by this. So maintain abhava here.
In spite having the mud (matter or material
cause or dravya kaaranam) and machine (instrumental cause or sadhanna
karanam) no pot can me made without the
potter(efficient cause nimitta karanam) .
with the knowledge of matter only one will get the most revered and
aspired salvation can be achieved. First
one should be devoid of all qualities, good or bad. With the absolute knowledge of matter
whatever remains is God the father.
Puranas (Epics)
Braahmam paadmam vaishnavamcha saivam laingam sagaarudam naaradeeyam bhaagavatam aagneyam skaanda
samgnaatam bhavishyam brahmavaivartam markandeyam savaamaanam vaaraaham maatsya
koormam cha brahmaandaakhyamiti trishat.
Brahma, padma, Vishnu, siva, linga, garuda,
naarada, agni, skanda, bhavishya, brahmavaivartam, markandeyam, vamana,
varaaha, matsya, koorma and brahmaanda are the
eighteen Puraanaas.
Each Purana highlights about a particular
Dharma with illustrations and stories.
That is the reason in one Purana Lord Siva is narrated as everything and
in another Lord Vishnu etc. Followers of different sects are quarrelling
without knowing the inner meaning.
Ultimately all devotees are required to reach the same goal called
Liberation. Take any element gold, silver or copper etc. Finally they constitue
electrons and protons only. Only lattice
structure will be different. The workers
of a company are given bonus to inculcate curiosity to work with dedication.
Children are similarly given candies to take more interest in their
studies. Likewise the lucid stories in
the Puraanaas make the people to know more about God the father. Dharma, human values, duty of parents,
children, and spouses, subjects, king and truthfulness etc., are narrated in
these puranas.
Dharmasastras
Manusmriti, yagnavalkya and Parasarasmrit etc
come under the perview of Dharmasastras.
These smritis give instructions regarding duties of different varnas or
castes or classes of people in a society. There are 40 samskaraas or rituals
which are to be followed as per the Dharma sastras. Jatakarma (Pooja & chanting of mantras
after the birth of a child), Namakarana (naming ceremony of the child with
mantras) and annaprasana (first solid food giving ceremony with mantras),
chaula or chuda karma (first cutting of the hair of a child) Paanigrahana
(marriage ceremony with mantras) and garbhadana ceremony (nuptials ceremony
with mantras)etc., are covered by these
Smritis.
PRAMAANAAS
Pramana is a measure or standard or authority
or understanding or a source of knowledge to come to a logical conclusion. They are 8 types. They are:
1) Pratyksha
Pratyksham kim pramanam?
Indriyaartha sannikarshotpannam gnaanam anyapadesyam avyabhichaari
vyavasaayaatmakam pratyaksham..
Gautama
nyaaya darsanam
No meaure is greater than the one you saw,
smelt, tasted, touched and heard. No
other witness is required than our own physical senses that have grasped it.
2) Anumana
To realize the the effect after seeing the
cause (truth). To assume that it will
rain (effect) after seeing the cloudy(cause).
3) Upamaana
To recognize a things with comparison to a
known thing(s). ex: to recognize a tiger by Seeing the moles, paws, foot prints
etc.
4) Sabdapramana
It is a verbal testimony. By hearing the sound of OM during meditation,
we feel that we are nearing GOD.
5)Aitihyam
It should be like this. It was like this.
6) Arthaapatti
Without cause there is no effect. One
may feel cold and shivering. This is the effect. He may have fever or there might be sudden
change in the weather. This the cause.
7) Sambhavam
The one that is amenable for creation.
8)Abhavam
Abhava means inert or not doing
anything. To make a wrong decision or
mistaken identity is abhava. The one
which is right may seem to be wrong and the one which is wrong appears to be
right.
5,7 & 8 are clubbed together and is
called Anupalabdhi and hence making a total of six Pramanaas.
Everybody can read Veda
Yathemaam vaacha kalyaanee maavadaani
janebhyaha brahma raajanyaabhyaag
soodraaya chaaryaayacha swaayachaaranaaya.
Yajurvedam 26----2
I, the Brahman, is expatiating this VEDA for
the well being of all the castes, Brahman, Kshyatriya, Vaisya, soodra &
ladies.
Naastiko vedanindakaha
The abuser of
Veda is atheist.
Brahmacharyenakanyaayuvaanaam vindate
patihim.
Atharva vedam
Gaargi and Mytreyi, etc., are ladies. They were well versed in Veda vidya. Learning
Veda vidya the ladies should select their respective spouses and accordingly
marry them.
The creation is made due to Vedic Karma as
per Mimamsa, time as per Vaiseshika,
electrons and protons as per Nyaya, Purushaatrtha as per Yoga, Nature as per
Sankhya and Brahman as per Vedanta.
Eight types of marriages
1) Braahmam
Marriage with mutual consent of man and
woman.
2) Daivam
Marriage with the consent of elders.
3)Aarsham
Marriage by taking dowry from bridegroom.
4) Praajaapatyam
For doing yagnaas or certain Vedic Karma wife
is a must as per Dharma Sastra. Maariage
to protect Dharma.
5) Aasuram
By giving money to both the man and woman and
then getting them married for the welfare of Kingdom.
6) Gaandharvam
Marriage made due to mutual love of both the
spouses with without the consent of elders.
No auspicious time and rules or
conditions of Dharma is respected.
7) Raakshasam
To abduct the bride forcibly and then
marrying.
8) Paisaachikam
Give sedatives to the bride and then marrying
her in insane conditions using force.
Braahmam is the first category and most
desirable.
Daiva and praajaapatyam are of second
category/.
Aarsham, aasuram and gaandharvam are of third
category.
Raaksham is of fourth category.
The most undesirable and heinous is Paisaachikam.
JEEVA or corrupted soul consists of
Attachment, hatred, effort or purushaartha, happiness, misery, intelligence and
of three qualities that is Satwa, Rajas and Tamas qualities. Buddhi or intellect constitutes the knowledge
of what is good and bad. Mind is of
wavering type.
Braahmanosya maukhamaaseeth baahu raajanya
kritaha oorootadasya yadwaisyaha
padbhaagam soodro ajaayata. Yajyrveda 31-----11
Braahmin came out
of the face of Brahman. Face is
very important
in the body. So the one who does
Brahma Karma is
called Brahmin. Kshatriya came
out of the
shoulders of Brahma. Shoulders are
the
replica of
strength. So is the case with Kshatriya,
the warrior class.
Vaisya, the trader class came out
of thighs of
Brahma. Thighs are the replica
of
power of
movement. Trade and agriculture is done
due to
movement. Soodra, the servant or
skilled
labour has come out
of the feet of Brahman. Feet is
the replica of
labor.
Brahman is
formless, qualityless and nirvikalpa. So
how species came
out of a formless God. So as per
their Gunas
or qualities the classes or castes were
formed but not due
to biological birth. Caste is
some sort of
designation like Inspector, Inspector
General etc.
STREE(woman)
Yatra naaryastu
poojyante ramante tatra
Devataaha
yatraitaastu na poojyante sarvaasta
Traa phalaaha
kriyaaha. Manu 3-56
Where
the women are
respected there the
Devataas i.e., the virtuous beings will be playing
with
happiness. All works or efforts
will be
doomed.
Stuti,
pooja and Upaasana
With stuti or
prayer one will be developing his/
Her likeness
to God in that particular
form of his
liking in which
he/she is worshipping. While
worshiping God
the devotee shall eulogise
Him
with several attributes. So doing the devotee shall
change his attributes akin to that form of
God.
Devotee will gain detachment due to these
prayers. Our mind will be devoted or dedicated to God in that form. He will be getting appropriate helping hand from that form of God. He will be more enthusiastic.
Upasana means to worship God in a particular
sitting posture in the vicinity of Altar.
By this a peculiar relationship is created between the God and the
devotee.
Suppose
a police officer fired on the uncontrolled mob or on a thief on the orders
of his superior officers or a soldier killed several people in a war. No sin will touch him as he
has not done it on his own independently but on the orders of his
superiors. The body, antahkarana (mind),
life force and senses should be under
our control. Then it is called liberty.
The parents are responsible only for the birth of the children and some
filial relations up to certain time of our growing up period. The parents are not responsible for the right
or wrong doings of their offspring. The
children will eat the results of their Karma.
Likewise God the father is not responsible for our doings. Police will not make the murder weapon
responsible and put it in jail. They
will put the murderer behind the bars.
JEEVA ---
PARAMATMA
Jeeva(corrupted Soul) is inert and
insentient. Jeeva with Cosmic
consciousness is sentient and active.
The body without Cosmic consciousness is SAVAM i.e., deadbody, with
Cosmic consciousness is SIVAM i.e., dynamic.
Generation, operation, destruction, too keep the
whole universe in its limits, to accord appropriate Janma or incarnation to the
departed souls as per the results of their Karma without any partiality is what
God does. To raise a family, to look
after the off spring, educate the off spring, utilization of the free will
given by God, and to learn Brahma vidya is the duty of Jeeva. Desires, No desires, happiness, misery, cold,
heat, wisdom, no wisdom, effort etc are the things Jeeva contains. This aspect is agreed upon by both the
followers of Nyaya and vaiseshika.
As long as there is soul in the body, these
qualities will be functioning.
Everyything is present tense to
Brahman. No future and past tenses for
Brahman. His knowledge is unique and
present.

Satapatha 11—4—2.3
In the beginning of creation Brahman has made
known the Vedas to sages Agni, Vayu,
Aditya and Aangeerasa.
Agni vaayuh avibhyastu trayam Brahma
sanaatanam dudohayagna sidyartha
mrigyajussaama lakshanam ..
Manu 1---23
In the beginning of creation, Brahman has
created men. With the assistance of four
sages viz., Agni, Vayu, Aditya and
Aangeerasa. he made known the knowledge
of Vedas to Kaarya (working) Brahma.
Agni is Manipura Chakra, Vayu is Anaahata
Chakra, Additya is Sahasraara chakra and Aangeerasa is Swaadhisthaana
Chakra. Vedam means the one which is
heard i.e.,
Om ityekaaksharam Brahma vyaahaaranmaam
anusmaran yaha prayaati
tyajandeham sayaati paramaam gatim. Gita 8—13
Parabrahma prathamo guruhu. Parabrahma prathamo bhishak.
Brahman is the first teacher. He only taught us,teaching us and shall teach
us everything through
The things that are grasped in Samadhi state
are called Brahmanaas. These are also
called vyakhyanaas. Mantras in Rik, yaju, sama and atharva veda are called
Vedas. These mantras were given to great
sages by Brahman Himself in the beginning.
The sages due to the grace of Brahman could explain the meanings of
those Mantras. The things explained by great sages are called Brahmanaas. The sages are of selfless and of great
vision. They have dedicated everything
for the welfare of mankind. They have
not even named their findings like
Cause and Effect
The combination or commingling of Satwa
(positive), Rajas (Neutral) and Tamas (negative) qualities in different
combinations is NATURE. The subtlest matter is
the product of this Nature. Combination of this subtlest matter in
different ways lead to the creation of subtle(sookshma) and physical(sthoola)
creations. The subtlest matter required
for the very first such combination is called KARANA (catalyst) or Cause or
Kaarana. The result of that very first
combination or Sansarga is called effect or Kaaryam. Hydrogen and oxygen are
not visible to the eye before combination. After combination they change their invisible
form and become a visible molecule of water.
So things will change their configurations before and after their
combinations. So Brahman will create the
ideal situation or provides the required cosmic consciousness for the combinations of subtlest matter. This is called Praprathamaavastha or very
very first state. The most subtlest
Nature is this. This is called
Pradhanam. The subtlest state that comes out of this very very first state is
called MATTATWAM. This Mahat Tatwam is
responsible for tangible creation later.
From Mahat tatwam came out ether, air, fire, water and earth. And from them came out sound, touch, configuration, taste and smell
respectively. From ether sound came out.
Air came out of ether. So it has its own touch tatwam and also sound of
ether. Fire came out of Air. So it has its own configuration or seeing
tatwam and also touch and sound of air.
Water came out of fire. It has
its own taste tatwam and seeing,touch,hearing of fire. Earth came out of water. It has smell tatwam. In addition to this it
has seeing, touch, hearing and taste of water.
Remember that these are all in subtlest forms. This is Karana srishti or Karana
creation. Karana is the cause of subtler
creation or sookshma srushti. And
sookshma is the cause of sthoola or physical creation.
Manushyaa rishayaschayetato manushyaa

Yajurveda 31----9
In the beginning men, sages and several
things came out of Brahman.
Nizaaneeryaanyecha dasyavaha. Rigveda
Utasudreutarye.
Atharvaveda
In the beginning all men were equal. There after they were divided into Brahmin,
kshyatriya, vaisya and sudra classes as per their karma.
Learned are called Aryas. Illiterate are anaryas or dasyas. The Aryas made this Bharat as their abode.
Hence the name Aryavartam came into effect.
Sky----Blue color
60 paramanuvu i.e., 60 most subtlest
electrons and protons = one Anu (atom).
Two Anus(Atoms) = dvyanukam or sthoola vaayu
(physical air).
Three dvyanukams = one Agni (fire)or trasa
renu (spark)
Four dvyanukams = one Jala(water) renu
(molecule).
Five dvyanukams = one prithvi(earth) renu
(molecule).
Because of each water molecule of Four
dvyanukams, the sky in the appears blue. The combination of one dvyanukam or sthoola vaayu and one
prithvi(earth) renu (molecule) roaming in the air will appear like smoke. The image of this smoke only we see in the
water which appears to be blue.
Satyenotta mitaabhoomihi. Rigveda 10—85--14

Rigveda 10—31—8
Sun attracts earth. Brahman attracts sun.
Yamalokam
Yamena vaayunaa Rigveda 10— 14---8
Yama means Air. After leaving the body the Jeeva or soul
remains in Air. As per his/her Karma,
the jeeva enters the yoni (vagina) of lady through Air, Water, Anna(food)
and purusha veerya (sperm of man). Then
he comes out of woman in a form male or female infant. One day everybody has to
leave this mortal sack. However every
one will try to lead a happy life by hook or crook. Jeeva wanted filial happiness. Mukta or liberated one will remain with
Brahman ever happily. On the earth as
per his status the abode will be provided.
For example President, Prime Minister, industrialist or moneyed people
etc will live palatial buildings on this earth. Even his relations can stay in
those palaces and roam freely. Similarly
the Mukta purusha can roam freely with other liberated souls in this infinite
JAGAT. With pure wisdom he can see the
panaromic view of this infinite Jagat.
To unite with Brahman is beatitude.
Entangling with desires is
Hell. Rivers will lose their existence
after meeting ocean. Likewise the
completely liberated soul will ultimately unite with Brahman and lose his/her
identity.
Qualities.
Oordhwam gachhanti satwasthaa madhye
tishtanti raajasaaha jaghanya guna
vruttisthaa atho gachhanti taamasaaha. Gita 14---18
After leaving the body, the soul with
positive satwa guna will go to higher echelons, neutral Rajo guna soul will go
to the middle path of mankind and negative
tamo guna soul will take birth in animals birds and creatures etc.
Devatwam saatwikaayaamti manushyatwam
raajasaa tiryaktwam taamasaa
nityamityeshaa trividhaagatihi. Manu 12—40
The soul with Satwa guna or positive quality
will go to the plane of Devataas, Neutal quality soul or Rajo Guna soul will
take birth as human beings and negative
tamo guna soul will take birth in plants, creatures, birds and animals etc.
Satwam sukhe samjayati rajaha karmani Bharata
Gnaanamaavrityatu tammah pramaade samjayati
Gita 14----9
Satwa guna will provide happiness. Rajo guna
shall make you workbound. Tamo Guna will
always make you ignorant to do wrong things and hence put you into
troubles.
Satwaat sanjaayate gnaanam rajasolobha evacha
Pramaadamohau tamasobhavati agnaanamevacha

non violence, truthfulness, not having anger, sacrifice, peacefulness,
not carrying tales, compassion, absence of greed, tenderness, modesty, lack of
restlessness, character effulgence, patience, forgiveness, courage,
cleanliness, lack of doing harm to others and
modesty are the qualities divinely inclined persons.
Daiveesampadvimokshaaya nibandhaasureemataa.
Gita 16--------5
The divine qualities lead to liberation
(nivrutti) and demonic qualities lead to bondage(pravrutti). This is determined at the time of creation.

Boastfulness,

or recognizable things of a man born with demonic qualities.

Gita 16---7
The man born with demonic qualities shall not
know the right path of action. He will
not refrain from evil action. He lacks
purity internally and externally. He
does not follow Dharma and truth.
Asatyam apratisthamte jagadaahuraneeswaram

Gita 16-----8
Demonic man says: ‘’ This Jagat is not built
on Truth, not built as per the standards of Veda, no morals, it is bullshit to
belive that Iswara is its creator.
Lustful desires of man and woman relationship is the only cause of this
world and nothing else.
Trividham narakasyedam dwaaram naasana maatma
Lust, anger and greed are the three types of
doors of Hell. This threefold gate shall destroy the man/woman. So these three
should be avoided.
Sri Ramanujaachaarya
He is the founder of Visisthaadwaita or
qualified Non dualism. Jeeva (soul),
Brahman, and Maya all three are eternal according to him. He has taught that things with their inherent
faults should be avoided. One should not take one’s food from people who give without love. Ramanuja
accepts Pratyaksha pramana, Anumana pramana and Vedas.
All three giants i.e., Shri Ramanuja,
Madhvacharya and Adi sankaracharya
follow vedantic doctrines only. They are not against vedic rituals.
Idol worship
Brahman is omnipresent. He exists in every
animated and inanimated world. He is
formless and without any quality. So
formless Good does not have any idol.
Respect your parents who are living Gods. Give food and Alms to the poverty sticken and
needy fellow human beings. Service to man is service to God. Maintain mutual respect with your spouse.
Construct charity hospitals, schools for poor children and choultries. Love thy
neighbour as you love thyself as told by Jesus Christ. Not a single rupee come alongwith you when
you depart from this body. The idol
worship was started after Mahabharat
War i.e., about 5000 or more years ago.
The money,Gold and jewels etc offered to the Idols shall attract some
evil minded and bad unsocial people to loot this property. This is exactly happened centuries ago. Foreign invaders looted several jewels and
Gold etc some centuries ago. They have
looted the temples like Somnath etc in
Rigveda contains 21 chapters. Yajurveda contains 101 chapters. Samaveda
contains 1000 chapters.
Atharvaveda contains 9
chapters. All these totaling to 1131
chapters.
Karma kanda was given importance in Jaimini’s
Mimamsa. In patanjali’s yogasastra
meditation was given importance. Wisdom
or gnaana was given importance in Sri Vyasa’s Brahmasutras. All these were written in accordance with the
Vedas. But in all these treatises idol
worship was not at all mentioned. This
should be observed.
Paritavyam tadapi martavyam dantakatakateti
kim kartavyam.
One has taken poison. Afterwards he realized
that he should not have done that. Then
what is the use. His realization did not save him. Likewise one does so many sins. Afterwards he visits several holy places to
get rid of his sins. It is of no
use. So man should do good deeds for the
welfare of fellow beings incessantly till death.
Ontology
Takaadharmaha
takakarma takaahiparamampadam
Yasyagrihe takaanaasti takaatakatakaayate.
Every one is thinking that money is Dharma,
money is Karma and money is liberation.
One who had money he had everything.
One who has no money is dying saying ‘’ money, money and money’’. But no body is desiring, gabbling in dream
and dying for God.
Nothing can stand without base. Every effect
had a cause. For every Karma there must
be a Karta. No organ can exist without life.
Likewise one cannot think about a world without Brahman. Ether is spread, percolated and permiated in
each and every noumenon or subject. But
earth and ether cannot be the same. Like
wise after making this Jagat with subtlest electrons and protons, Brahman is
percolated into that. He made the
parents responsible for the progenies to continue the creation incessantly by
dwelling in each and every aanimated and inanimated Jagat. With his infinite qualities God is making
the Jagat, existing the Jagat and destroying the Jagat without entangling in
it. Paramatma is faultless, qualityless,
fully liberated, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. Jeeva
is having limited presence, bound, corrupted with Satwa, Rajas and Tamas
qualities.
Karta (subject) is Paramatma. Karma(object) is Jeeva. Kaaryam (Effect) is Jagat.
This Jagat, Jeevaas (living beings), the
works of Jeeva and bonds are eternal as per Jains.
Fried seed does not germinate. The liberated Jeeva shall not incarnate and
merge with Brahman as per the followers of Adwaita siddhanta of Adi
Sankaracharya.

Sukla yajurveda
The intangible Brahman is full. Tangible Jagat is full. Tangible Jagat came
out of the intangible Brahman. This
jagat even though came out of that Brahman but Brahman remains full like a
child is full pledged and its mother is also full pledged.

b) not to care cold and heat and c) eventhough contented but travels trudgingly
are the qualities of a donkey.
5) In the quarrel between pig and dog, the
pariah is benefited by taking that bone.
6) The mirage make us to faulter that there
is water in it. Likewise the enemy make
us to believe that he is a friend and not a foe.
7) The great people shall not shed his
qualities inspite of their inability like oldage etc. The
lions shall not eat grass inspite of becomimg old.
8) One should not display mercy till he
reaches the goal. The lamb will drink milk from the udder of its mother by
hitting hardly repeatedly.

What will happen in the next moment is
unknown. Self control is sanskaara or
culture. Social discipline means
sabhyata or coutesy. Both husband and wife must strive for Dharma. The purpose of marriage is not merely
producing offspring.
Na prajayaa dhanena tyagenekaiva amritatwa
maanasuhu.
No one can get liberation with offspring
and wealth. Only surrendering your mind totally to God
shall give you liberation. Maintaining celibacy throught life is called
NAISHTICA BRAHMACHARYAM. This is not required for Mukti or liberation. To follow or live in Brahmann is called
Brahmacharyam. To remain with one wife
throughout life is also some form of celibacy called GRAAHASTHA BRAHMACHARYAM. So liberation is possible while remaining in
marriage institution. In certain Hindu
marriages a pendant is tied on the Agna+ chakra or kootastha with the help of a
turmeric besmeared thread around the head called BHAASIKAM. This is to remember
you to excite Agna + Chakra in the front
and Agna –ve chakra on the back of the head.
A turmeric besmeared thread with
a raw turmeric or a round small gold pendant called MANGALASUTRA is tied with
three knots in such a way that the gold
pendant or raw turmeric shall be hanging on the ANAAHATA chakra and the three
knots will be resting on the back of the bride’s neck or VISUDDHA chakra
indicating that both these chakras are to be excited. Even at the auspicious moment zeelakarra(cumin seeds) and jaggery are mixed
and kept on the Brahmarandhram indicating that both of you and your wife’s ultimate aim is to make the kunndalini to reach sahasrara chakra.
Both husband and wife will walk seven steps
together around the fire meaning that they will cross or help each other to
cross these seven chakras viz., mooladhara, swadhisthana, manipura, anaahata,
visuddha, agna and sahasrara to achieve liberation. Both take oaths to that effect that both are
equal partners in Dharma, Artha (earning wealth through fair means), Kaama
(desires) and moksha (liberation).
Seven yoginee Devatas
Maata means measuring, maanam means measure,
and meyam means the one which is to be measured. All these three together is
called KULAM. This trinity is called Sridevi or Kaaleeswari.
1) Daakinee---- Aakasa tatwam. 16 rays, Visuddha Chakra, Ham is the root
word. White elephant is the steed.

Skin, blood, flesh, mind and bone are sources
of energy. The remaining bone marrow,
sperm, life force and Jeeva belongs /or relates
to Siva. Apart from these nine elements it is said that the tenth
element is PARASAKTI. It
comprises all these nine elements.
Yatra naanyat pasyati naanyat srunoti naanyat
vijaanaati bhoomaa. Chaandogya
Upanishad.
The state of not knowing, hearing and seeing any thing is called BHOOMA.
Naadam is superior to Pranavam. This Naadam appears as PARA in triangle of
SRICHAKRA, PASYANTI in Ashtakonam (octagon), MADHYAMA in Dasaraygmam (ten
angled ) and VAIKHAREE in Chaturdasaaram
( fourteen angled one). All these
Sivasakti related Four Chakras are fully impregnated with Naadaatmaka
Sakti. All these are different shades of
DEVI.
After the fall of this physical body, Jeeva
(soul) enters the Pancha Bhootas ( root cause of creation), enters ether in the form of sraddha or
dedication, enters clouds through moon
rays, enters the earth through rain, enters man through fire(Agni), enters the
female vagina through male sperm, becomes a foetus in the womb of mother. Then he comes out as male or female
child. Sage Jaimini has explained this
to sage Gautama through a sutra ‘’ dyuparjanya prithivee purusha
yoshitsu’’. Even sage Vyasa said this in
his Brahmasutras through
‘’ tadantarapratipattau ramhati
samparishwaktaha’’.
Saankhyaas make the Pradhanam responsible for
creation but not the Brahman. Both
Gautama (nyaaya darsanam) and Kanaada( vaiseshika darsanam) say “ Iswara made
the transformation of atoms for
creation’’. They say both cosmos and
individual self i.e., Macro and micro coswmos are separate entities from
Eeswara.
The greatness of mother
Upaadhyaan dasaachaaryaha Achaaryanaam
satampitaa sahasrantu pitroon
maataagauravenaatirichityate.
One Master is equivalent to ten ordinary
teachers. Hundred masters are equivalent
to one father. Even thousand fathers are
not equivalent to one mother. So who
soever make the mother suffer is definitely a demon.
Some slokaas (Verses)

which may please be observed.
People while away their time with
gambling in the morning, gossiping about
women in the afternoon and discussing
about thieves in the night.
Wise people spend their time with discussion of Mahabharata in
the morning, Ramayana in the afternoon and
Shrimadbhagavat in the night.

qualities. Like wise as per their great
qualities caste/class comes.
Ojas means energy of body or body strength.

second quality. Recognition obtained
through offspring is third quality.
Recognition obtained through father-in-law is worst quality.
Philosophy (vedaant)
Greeks & Europeans have limited their
experiments regarding Soul, Brahman etc to outer world only. The ancient sages
found the things required for the transcendental world on an eternal basis by
going deep into the mind and were successful.
Vedant describes the Dharma as the experience beyond the senses. It
never describes the Dharma as external to Nature or cannot be achieved by being
in the Nature or beyond the Nature. What
is upanishat? It is the reading of antahkarana or mind. It is called Sriti. In that the efforts of great sages is found
but not their legacy. Sriti is true in
all times. It will not change according
to time. Bhagavatgita, mahabharatam,
Ramayanam, manu smriti, yaagnavalkya smriti, Parasara smriti etc are called
Smritis. These Smritis change as per
time. For ex: matric currency came into
effect from 1957. The coins &
currency prior to 1957 will not be valid now. The law during past cannot be
made applicable now. What is religion? It is called Matam in Sanskrit. Matam means mind. So religion came out of mind. Naturally it will be named after that person
who started it. Matam or religion
normally dependent upon the life and living style of that Matakarta or the one
who had started it.
Hindu matam or religion depends upon Veda
& Puranaas.
Tadetat brahmaapoorvam anantaram
abaahyam. Ayam aatmaa brahma
sarvanubhooh.
Brihadaaranyakam 5------19
This Brhaman is not having ins and outs. No beginning and ending. Everything is experienced by Brahmam.
Hindu matam or religion will show you the
path of intangible Brahman through tangible Brahman. It has not endorsed this
path limited to caste, creed, race, class, sex and even age. It emphasized that
attaining liberation is the right of every human being. It says that who traverses the path of truth
and who is having the capacity to question is the innovator. Hindumatam does
not torture the people for baptizing.
Hindu dharma and
All physical laws are manifestations
only. They are not creation. Central and State Governments make Rules and
regulations through the legislatures.
This is creation. The officers of
Central and the respective state governments implement those orders. This is called manifestation. But the officers of State or
Energy is two types. Potential (Gupta shakti) and Kinetic (vimukta
shakti). Potential (Gupta shakti) energy is called Avyaktam. It is infinite, steady (nischalam) and
unparallel. This Potential (Gupta
shakti) energy is called unmanifested Brahman.
Kinetic (vimukta shakti) energy is manifested Brahman. This manifested
Brahman is creative. It moves and vibrates.
Brahman, energy, Bhagavan or God and Jagat are one and the same thing.
“who
am I ?’’ is only
required than the
question ‘’ what I had
achieved?’’. For that one must become
Yama. The one who is having unflinching
selfcontrol is called Yama. Swami
Vivekanannda said, ‘’ The believers of pratyksha vada i.e., the people who
believe the things that are seen or felt by the senses nakedly may ridicule
Mata Dharma or rules & regulations of a religion but if you remove
Matadharma from the society of men and women then the remaining is beasts of
forest only. The goal of mankind is not
pleasures of senses. The goal is to gain Brahma gnaan or spiritual wisdom. Real
wisdom spiritual greatness. That is the
real wisdom.’’. This spiritual wisdom gives us the real
happiness. All the material gains are
nothing but writings on the water.
Sense pleasure is but natural. To give up the ultimate goal of spiritual
victory and thrive for material gains is suicidal.
Yaavai bhoomaa tatsukham naalpesukhamasti
bhoomaiva sukham bhoomaatweva vijignaasitavyaiti. Chandogyam 7---23
‘’Gain of infiniteness is real
happiness. The one which is having
beginning and ending does not give us happiness. So one should endeavour for
knowledge of God the father’’ said the great saint Sanatkumara.
OMKAARAM

A Maatra or syllable is depicted as point in
An article or a thing can be big or
small. It cannot be both at the same
time. When you compare that thing with
different things it may appear as big or small. Photon is as big as the whole world and as
small as the whole of a needle. That is
what the scientists say. But soul is
subtler than Atom and bigger than universe.
There is no doubt about it. The

Penance (Tapas)
Penance means heat.
Tena tyaktena
bhunjeetha----------Eesanyopanishad.
Live or spend your life in sacrifices. To starve body without food and torturing it with severe religious doctrines
in order to get salvation is not Penance.
Saa vidya Adhyaatma vidyaa. Real and the most superior education is
spirituality. To shed the low value
material benefits for the sake of the highest valued Spiritual gains is Penance
or Tapas. For higher gains we give up/sacrifice so much of playing time for the
sake of education. This is also
Tapas. The Sadhana we do for physical,
mentasl & spiritual allround upliftment is Penance. The burning of incense stick (Agarbatti) in our house will
spread its fragrance to the neighbours around your house. Likewise our allround upliftment shall be
most useful not only to us but also to the society. We will become heros instead of villains in the society. The merger of mind and senses is real
penance. This penance is superior to all
Dharmas. The penance is the root cause of literature, arts, fine arts, sciences
and for all sorts of sadhana. Vedas are
not draconian laws that make us a bonded labour. They are not Jails. They will emphasise that find out Paramatma
dwelling in you. You are not dwelling in
Him and hence the difficulties.
Three Bodies and five sheaths.
1) Physical Body (sthoola sareeram):
It consists of Annamaya kosh or sheath. It is
studied in Anatomy.
2) Subtle Body ( sookshma sareer):
It consists of three sheaths. They are praanamaya, manomaya and vignaanamaya
sheaths. The individuality of man and
reincarnation or rebirth after death is included in this body. This body is
studied in Nervous systems, tatwa sastra and psychology.
3) Idea body ( Kaarana sareera):
This consists of the last sheath i.e.,
Anandamaya kosh. This body is studied
in Nyaya, Mimamsa ans manstatwa sastra.
Yadidam kincha jagatsarvam praanaejati
nissrutaha.
Rigveda
Whole jagat is manifested due the vibrations
of Praana. Thing is one only. Due to naama (names) and roopa
(configurations) it becomes inert Jagat or Cosmos. With cosmic consciousness that Jagat
transforms into Mind. Avyaktam means
unmanifested and is called Bija sakti or
root power. Its first sibling is MAHAT.
Death----Jeeva(soul)
The decay of physical body is called
DEATH. The Jeeva and life force comes
out from that body after death. It will
travel in air(Vayu mandalam). Such types of souls with life forces in the air
will be encountered by this soul. These
souls with unfulfilled and different types of
desires shall be wandering in different echelons of this plane of
air. These types of souls or Jeevas
without having any Physical body (bodies) are called Pretas. These pretas are having subtle and
idea bodies only. This world is called
Preta prapancham.
Where the soul leaves the body there in that
surroundings of that place, this Preta will be getting the experiences of other
worlds. The sight of the dead man shall merge with Sun. Life force merges in
Air, speech merges in Fire, blood and
sperm of male and female merges in water and physical body merges in the
earth. The life force is divided into
five airs called Prana, Apaana, samana, vyaana & Udaana. These five pranas
are further divided into ten and then into fifty airs. Each is having a specific function to
perform. For ex: Praana for crystallization (sphatikeekarana), samana for
assimilation(spongeekarana), apaana for elimination (visarjana), udaana for
metabolizing (Jeevaanupaaka) and Vyaana for circulation (prasarana).The
UDAANAVAAYU(one of the five life forces)
in the throat shall send the subtle and idea bodies out of the dead
body. What is death? We go to bed after
getting tired and after getting up the body gets invigorated. Sleep is a
shorter one for invigoration of the body. In sleep the life force, mind (subtle
body) and Idea body remain alive. The physical body is static or as good as
dead. Like wise this death is a long sleep. So till rebirth the other two bodies viz.,
subtle and Idea bodies remain active in other fields as per their Karma
etc. The transmigeration of soul from
one physical body to another physical body is called death. The merger of subtle and Idea bodies with
Brahman is liberation. Birth is destined.
It is the entrance. So death is also
destined. It is the exit. This is
unavoidable for any Jeeva till it merges with Brahman.
Take a fistful of earth and put it into a Jar
filled with water. The subtlest
particles will be floating on the surface of the water. The other particles
shall be suspending or lying on the bottom of water as per their magnitude or
weight. Likewise the departed souls or
Jeevaas shall be roaming in their orbits in different fields according to their
developmental status. They cannot
encroach the fields assigned to them.
The higher echelon Jeevaas can visit the lower echelons if they wish but
not vice versa. On the physical plane
also the accommodation is given to the Govt servants as per their respective
status. If Chief Minister or Prime
Minister wants he can summon or call a clerk or officer but not vice
versa. The Jeevas shall get rebirth
according to their respective Karma as a man, animal. Bird, tree or creature. For rebirth it may take 2 to 5000 years.
If we are able to taste, eat, drink and hear
then it can be said that all the three bodies are working in general and physical body in particular.
Plannings, dreams and internal visions are happening means both subtle and idea
bodies are working in general and subtle
body in particular. Deep sleep, deep meditation and farsightedness are the
work(s) of Idea body. So the man working
with Physical body is material man,
while working with subtle body he is called Energetic man and while
working with Idea body he is called pragnaa or wisdom man.
Will power or ichhasakti means creation is
planned (Karana).
Power of wisdom or Gnaanasakti means order of
creation(subtle).
Power of work or kriyasakti means the contour
of creation (Physical).
The creation is nothing but Brahman without
changing himself shall appear in different names and contours like gold and
gold jewellery.
If actual thing is covered it is called
Avarana Dosha or fault of the cover. A
burning wick is not visible due to the darkened glass cover or chimney because
of the smoke. If actual thing appears
to be something else it is called Vikshepana Dosha. Dosha means fault. It is something like a rope in the darkness
creates an illusion of snake. Here
darkness is Avarana dosha and to mistake the rope as snake is vikshepana dosha.
The kindness or grace of God
Mookam karoti vaachaalam pangum langhayate
girim yatkripaa tamaham vande
paramaananda maadhavam.
Dumb fellow will be able to speak and a lame
fellow shall be able to climb the mountains. Oh God! Only your grace is
required then anything is possible.
Salutations to you.
Incarnations
As per Hindu mythology, Lord Vishnu had eight
incarnations. They are
1) Matsya---- grasp wisdom out of ocean of
doubts.
2) korma----
lead life with unattachment.
3) varaaha-----dedication and discipline are
the two teeth. With that do your duties or Dharma.
4) Naarasimha----- shed ego.
5) Vaamana---sacrifice everything to God.
6) Parasurama------- suurender or suffer.
7) Srirama-----------what you encounter in
life is decision of Karma and self
effort.
8) Sri Krishna---- be amenable to God.
In kaliyuga Kalki, the Avataar of Vishnu will
be born to Vishnu yas in village Sambhala is what is written in Srimadbhagavat.
Visting great saints will remove our sins,
touching them shall remove our Karma and
conversing with shall remove our difficulties.
The sound of life force is called Naadam,
pure intellect is called Bindu (Point) and effulgence that is reflecting in
this Bindu is called Kala. The
combination of Naada, Bindu and Kala is called Pranavam or Saguna(with
qualities) and saakaara (with contour) or tangible Brahman . Paramaatma or Brahman or God the father is
beyond this Naada, Bindu and Kala. That
is why God is Naada bindu kalaateeta. The whole animated and inanimated
universe is percolated and permeated with this Pranavam. Its form is effulgence or JYOTIRMAYAM.
Sabdabrahmamayi, Charaacharamayi, Jyotirmayi,
Vaangmayi, Nityaanandamayi, paraatparamayi, Mayamayi and Srimayi are the eight
types of wealth of God. Materialisation
is Body (Durga). Vibration or life
force(Lakshmi) is for the movement of this body. To keep that life force in a proper
manner is Radiation or Pragnaasakti(Sarasdwati).
Meaning of some words or symbals of Mythology
Chakra (a weapon of Vishnu/Sri Krishna) is
symbol for mentality. Likewise
gada(truncheon) for intellect or Buddhi,
Bow (Dhanush) for ego, Ojas for
Kriyasakti, Tejas for Ichhasakti, dyuti for Gnaana sakti, blue colour for infinitude, Aadisheshu ( the
srpent bed of SriMahavishnu) or Paancha Janyam ( counch of Sri Krishna) for
mind, Vaijayantimaala ( a garland that adores Sri Maha Vishnu) and pillar for
body are the sybols. Astibhaati priyam
roopam naamachetasya panchakam Adyatrayam

Food and Mind
Annam pumsaasitam trethaha jaayate

The food we take is converted into three
forms by the energy fire in the
stomach. (1) the solid part into
excretions and urine, (2) the semi solid portions into blood, bones, marrow and
nerves etc of seven elements and (3) the
subtle portion becomes mind.
Even if it is seen according to Pancheekarana also, the ether portion shall
become antahakarana, vaayu portion becomes mind, agni portion becomes buddhi,
water portion becomes chittam and earth portion becomes ego.
Anumantaa visasitaa nihamtaa kraya vikrayaa
Sanskartaacha upahartaacha khaadakascha iti

The
eater of the fish, frogs birds
and animals etc, their young ones, their
eggs, butcher, the one who supports the butcher for killing those dumb living
beings, buyer, seller, the cook and
carrier are all sinners. If a tree is cut then the new
branches and leaves that come out
will be of that tree only. God is described as Paramadayalu meaning
magnanimity personified. He even
protects his children by killing the demonic people like Hiranyakasipa,
Hiranyaaksha, Ravana and Kumbhakarna etc. Such a kind God shall encourage meat
eating. It is not the animals that are
to be given for oblation but our internal and external enemies like
Kama(desire), Krodha(anger), lobha(greed), moha (delusion), mada(pride),
matsarya( envy, material attachment).
These are the animals one has to sacrifice.

pradeepika 3.47—48
The one who eats cow meat on daily basis and the one who drinks the nectar that oozes
out of Moon are the highest class people.
Rest are all lowest class people.
Go sabda (cow) means tongue. To insert the folded tongue back into the
gullet (khecharee mudra or posture) is called go maansabhakshanam i.e., eating
cow meat. There will be feeling of sweetness in the throat while doing
meditation in KHECHAREE MUDRA. This sweetness is called the nectar that
oozes out of moon.

12 good praanayamas shall provide
Pratyaaharam or make us unattached to senses. 144 good praanayamas shall
provide Dharana or concentration.
20,736 good praanayamas shall provide Samadhi or trance.
Seven types of matter
Dravya, guna, karma, saamaanya, vishesha,
samavaaya and Abhaava are the seven types of matter. This Dravya is of nine types. They are earth, water, fire, air, ether,
time, sides, self and mind. Amongst
these nine, the first viz., earth, water, fire, air and ether are called Panchabhootas or five
vibratory elements. Guna means gnaana,
desire, misery, pleasure and color etc.,
Karma means work. Saamaanya means
species like mankind, animals and birds
etc. visesha means difference(s) amongst
the species like high yield cows and low yield cows etc. Samavaaya means both coexist. One is a
compliment of other. Ex: sun and sun
rays cannot be separated. Abhaava means
expressionless state.
SANSKRIT
Vedam means the one which is heard. During meditation that vedam is heard. That is nothing but Omkaar. Vedas occurred to the sages during meditation
like lightnings. There is no grammer for this Vedams heard during
meditation. This vedams heard by sages
is called DEVABHASHA. With this as basis
sages made a language with phonetics and their origins. This is called Sanskrit. So vedam is not Sanskrit. So there will not be any changes in nthe
Vedam.
Nnine Avatars of Devi
1.Skandamata:
She is fire Goddess. Four arms
and three eyes. She rides a lion.
2.Kusumanda: Magnanimous presence possessing

1) Subhechha:
Sevice oriented desire.
2) Anveshana:
Knowledge of implementing a good desire.
3) Tanumanasi: Ossification of mind.
4) Satyapatti: To be able to see the light or Jyoti darsan

merging with subtle consciousness.
6)
Padaartha bhaavana: The
consciousness of the meditator spreading all around beyond Physical and subtle
consciousnesses.
7) Tureeya: Meditator illuminates with self
effulgence.
Prasthaanatrayam
1) eesa kena katha prasna munda maandookya
tittiri yaitareyamcha chaandogyam brihadaaranyakam tathaa. Ten upanishats
viz., eesa, kena, katha, prasna,
munda, maandookya, taittareeya,
yaitareyam, and chaandogyam brihadaaranyakam ,
2) Brahmasutras written by sage Sri Vyasa and 3) srimadbhagavatgita together are called
prasthanatrayam.
The meditator or Sadhaka remains in the body
after the attainment of enlightenment with the orders of Paramatma otherwise he
leaves the body after two or three weeks.
MEDITATION
To born as man/woman is our good karma. Only man can do and attain liberation with
sadhana. Each and every day morning one must do kriyayoga as per his/her
convenient time. It is really our good karma
that we got a sadguru like Paramahansa Sri yogananda. Love thy neighbour more than as you love
thyself. Our goal liberation is the highest. Do Karma without aspiring for
any gain. That is Karmayoga.
Aatmaanam rathinam viddhi sareeram
rathamevacha buddhimtu saarathim viddhi manah
pragrahamevacha.
Self is owner. Body is chariot. Buddhi is charioteer. Mind is
reigns. Dhyaanam is arrow. Goal is liberation. To fix the mind concentration on breathing.
Indriyaani hayaanaahu vishayaam teshu
gocharam
Aatmendriyam manoyuktam bhoktatyaahuhu
maneeshanaha.
Panch karmendriyas (action organs) and pancha
gnaanendriyaas (sense organs) together are called ten horses. Sabda (sound), sparsa(touch), roopa(seeing),
rasa (taste) and gandha (smell) are the orbits of those horses. The Jeeva
consisting of Body, senses and mind is the Bhokta or enjoyer.
Last words.
To our prattlings the great people shall not
reciprocate. Likewise donot get disturbed to ridicules of others.if we weaken
ourselves we cannot achieve anything.
God is always pleasant one. He
cannot be demon one side and God on one side.
There can not be two fires like good fire and bad fire. Fire is fire after all. There is only one fire. So God is one and only one.
Always drinking the divine nectar, embodiment
of wisdom personified, the giver of the most cherishable happiness,
blemishless, completely matured, eternal, beyond pleasure and misery, beyond
perception, beyond the qualities, beyond everything are the attributes of my
Sadguru Paramahansa Sri Sri Yogananda.
My salutations to Him.
