What is DEVI, DEVATA, DEVIL or GOBLIN?
The one that is not having Physical body
(Sthoola sareera) is called DEVI, DEVATA, DEVA or DEVIL. That is the reason the
one that is not seen by our naked eye is called by us as DEVI, DEVATA, DEVA,
DEVIL or GOBLIN. If it is bad, we call it as DEVIL. If it is good, we call it
as Devi, Devata or Deva. The sky, air, fire, water, earth, mind, intellect,
Chittam (feeling) etc. everything is Devi, Devata or Deva (Angel) for us. So
for our misery, pain or pleasure, opulence etc. our Karma is responsible.
‘Twameva Aham’. What you are now is due to Karma only.
Gajendra Moksham
There is a mythological story in Hindu
Bhagavata. One elephant enters a river.
Its legs were caught by a crocodile. It prays Lord Vishnu for Help. Hearing its
prayers Vishnu sends his weapon Sudarshan Chakra to kill the Crocodile and gets
the elephant freed from the clutches of Crocodile.
Its inner meaning is given below:
Gaja=Elephant. Ga alphabet in Sanskrit represents Pure
wisdom. Ja= Intelligence. So Gaja means the one with Pure intelligence.
Gaja+Indriya=Gajendriya= the most superior amongst the senses i.e., Mind. So
Mind is the most superior amongst the senses. Moksham=liberation. Crocodile represents mundane existence.
Sudarshan Charam= thousand petalled Sahasrarachakra.
Manaeva Manushyaanaam
Bandha Moksha Kaaranam.
The liberation of Mind
from mundane existence with Kriyayoga Sadhana is Gajendramoksham. Then the sadhak beholds the Sahasrarachakra
which will annihilate all bondages.
SRIKALAHASTI
Sri means Spider.
Spider builds its nest with its own saliva. Then it resides in it itself.
Likewise every Jeevi or living being builds its own nest / living place. This
is called spider’s nest. KALA means snake. The snakes are like Indriyaas
(senses). To control senses is akin to control snakes. HASTI means Elephant.
Elephant is having powerful Gaze/sight. Kannadu is the innocent hunter. Siva
Lingam means Sahasrara chakram.
Srikalahasti is a
holy place near Tirupathi. In Srikalahasthi charitra, Kannadu, the hunter,
plucks both his eyes and paste them on the Siva Lingam as the eyes of the Siva
Lingam were bleeding. Elephant daily puts water on the Siva Lingam and cleans
it daily. This means cleaning of your body & mind. Have a proper sight
(understanding). Controlling senses is the meaning behind snake putting its
hood on the Lingam. With control of senses & mind, one should come out of
this spider nest like Jagat Sansar. Put / Concentrate your Gaze on the
Sahasrara (Siva Lingam). Gaze fixation means both eyes should be on Sahasrara.
This is the meaning of plucking one’s eyes. Control the senses & mind. Fix
the gaze on the Sahasraara and mediate. Then one shall get liberated.
Siva And Arthanaareeswara
Siva wearing snake
round his neck is the indication to sadhaka to control the senses. The senses
are like snakes. Ganga (water) means to come out of Nature. Ash indicates this
Jagat Sansar is unreal. Trisulam indicates to come out of three gunaas. Third
eye in kutastham indicates one should develop fixed Gaze (eeka drishti). Siva
means MANGAL SWAROOP.
So chanting OM and
doing pranaayama, meditate on Kutastha. Control the senses. COMe out of the senses; go beyond Nature (Maya).
Have fixed Gaze. Visualize the unreality of Jagat. Merge with Paramatma and
become Mangal Swaroopa.
Pure wisdom is
EESWARA. This Universe is inert and made of stones & sand etc. So the
insentient and inert matter cannot be the cause for pure wisdom. So it is not
justified to make EESWARA, the cause of inert matter. Pure wisdom is Purusha.

RAVANA
VADHA
The Kundalini power in Mooladhara chakra is
Sita Devi. It is custOMary to Christine the sakti as female one in Hindu
philosophy. Sri Rama, Paramatma, exists in Sahasrara chakra in Brahma Randhram.
For a normal non-meditating human being the required life force is drawn from
Sahasrara to Mooladhara. Sahasrara is the reservoir of Cosmic Energy. From
Sahasrara life force (distorted form of Cosmic Energy) is supplied to Kundalini
in Mooladhara. As long as the life force from Sahasrara is uninterruptedly
supplied then the normal human being does not suffer. He will be happy. But the
opposite negative forces in Manipura chakra like fear, greediness, hate &
moods etc. shall oppose / interrupt the inflow of life force from Sahasrara to
reach Kundalini in Mooladhara. Deceases takes place proportional to this
opposition from Manipura negative forces. This leads to spoiling / damage of
organs (lever, heart, and kidney) one after another. Then the immunization
capacity declines. The opposite force(s)
in Manipura chakra is the cause of this interruption of life force from
Sahasraara chakra.
The Manipura chakra is of red colour with 10
rays. So this is also called RAVANA CHAKRA. Then the human being cries for help
calling “RAMA” loudly. Then Rama i.e. Paramatma in the Sahasrara understands
the trouble through Annahata chakra. This chakra is also called VAYU CHAKRA
since it is the place of air element. Anjaneya is the son of Vayu. A gland
viz., Thymus gland is responsible for immunization (roga nirodhaka sakti).
Through this gland “RAM” in Sahasrara understands the obstruction in Manipura
chakra with the help of Anjaneya. This whole procedure is done through VAGUS
nerve. This is known as CHOODAAMANI. This is the reason that one should do
pranayaama, if wanted to be healthy. By doing pranayaama the obstructive force
at Manipura (behind navel) is destroyed to pave the way for free flow of life
force from Sahasrara. Man gains his health. This is what is called SRIRAMA
destroying / cauterizing / drying the amritabhandam in the stOMach of Ravana.
Amrita (Nectar) Bhandam (Utensil).
Obstructive forces are eternal like nectar to a normal man.
SRITI AND SMRITI
The thing of truth that always exists or
eternal is called sriti. The truth appropriate to that period of time is called
smriti. In Sanskrit truth is called SATYAM. This is the reason truth is of 3
types.
(1) Vyavaharika Satyam
(2) Praatibhasika Satyam
(3) Paramaarthika Satyam
1. VYAVAHARIKA SATYAM:
Example: (a) During the period of 2 or 3
hours whatever is happening in that cinema is Vyavahaarika Satyam. In fact
nobody is beaten / dying as displayed in that cinema.
(b) Sun rises in the east is Vyavahaarika
Satyam. Because sun does not move. Due to the revolution of earth around sun it
appears as though the sun is moving.
2. PRATIBHASIKA SATYAM:
It did not exist before. But the present
existence is superimposed on the thing that did not exist before. In light
darkness, a rope may appear like a snake from the distance. This is called
RAJJU SARPA BHRANTI in Saastraas. This is called Pratibhasika Satyam.
3. PARAMAARTHIKA SATYAM:
The thing that is all times truth is
Paramaarthika Satyam.
Example: The cinema screen is always white
only. It was white before cinema, during cinema and after cinema.
There are 44 types of Smritis. They are
moral rules books introduced by sages appropriate to that period for the well
being of the people. MANU Smriti, YAAGNA VALKYA Smriti, PARAASARA Smriti etc.
are such Smritis.
In Kaliyuga Paraasara Smriti is followed.
In Manu Smriti
“Na stree swaatantraya marhati”
The lady cannot have freedOM is the meaning.
In childhood parents have to protect her. After marriage, her husband has to
protect her. During old age, her son should protect her. Normally ladies are
biologically weak. This Smriti vaakya (principle) is applicable when a lady
cannot stand on her own legs due to lack of education & cannot earn
herself. Even children & old people also have to depend on their parents
& children respectively. So the real meaning is ladies, children & old
people are to be given a helping hand. Not that a lady should be confined to
the hOMe only always. So the Smriti vaakyaas are to be understood properly.
Arthanaareswara means half male & half
female. God Siva is said to be Arthanaareswara as per Hindu philosophy. Every
human being whether male or female contains X-chrOMosomes and Y-chrOMosomes. As
such everybody is half male and half female and hence everybody is
arthanaareswara only.
APUTRASYA GATIRNAASTI:
“APUTRASYA GATIRNAASTHI” means the one who
does not have a male offspring shall have to exit through a bad way or
undesirable way at the time of death and after death. As per science male is
responsible for the birth of male and female child since the donor of seed is
male one. But the female is tortured for not giving a male child.
Great Souls like Adisankara, Sri Vivekananda
or Paramahansa Sri Yogananda were not at all married and maintained strict
celibacy and do not have any children, male or female. But they are considerd
to be Gods.
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa is married, but
did not have any offspring. His marriage is not consummated. He maintained very
strict celibacy. But Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa and Param Pujaneeya Sri Sarada
Devi are worshipped throughout the world in spite of their exit long ago.
Offspring is / cannot (be) the yardstick for
one’s greatness. Aatmagnana Sunyata (No knowledge of Soul science) is the main
reason behind this.
PANCHAAMRITA SNAANAM: PANCHA = Five, AMRITA = Eternal.
When we respect God, we prostrate before him
saying “Namaskaram to you God, up & down, left & right, north &
south, east & west etc.” Pancha Maha Bhootaas or five vibratory elements
viz., Ether (Aakaasa), Air (Vaayu), Fire (Agni), Water (Jalam) & Earth
(Prithvi) are five eternal elements or Panchaamritaas. They are the root cause
of Creation. So we are respecting God by saying / doing ablutions of God with
these five eternal vibratory elements. The five elements viz., cow milk; curd,
ghee, honey and sugar are the symbols of the five vibratory elements.
BIG FISH – SMALL FISH
Energy can neither be created nor can be
destroyed. One form of Energy can be converted to another form of Energy. The
mechanism that converts one form of Energy into another form of Energy is
called Transducing and the instrument is called Transducer. Loudspeaker,
ceiling fan and turbines etc. are such transducers.
Small energies merge with big energies. That
is why the saying “big fish eating small fish” means big Energy absorbing small
Energy. Everything is Energy only. At last even the carbon or crude oil etc.
are once living beings. The carbon or crude oil etc. are called fossil fuel as
such.
MAHA BHARATAM / GREAT EFFULGENCE
Maha Bharatam means
great effulgence. For steady meditation so many forces within and without will
be obstructing. By going to places of mountains, forests and solitude one
cannot get/do good meditations. The
thoughts will be hunting the saadhaka even in those places. The restless prana
should get steady. The steady (sthira praana) prana leads to steady mind.
Steady mind leads to Jeevanmukti (liberation). So everyone should become
Hanuman. Hanu means killing, man means mind. So to make the restless mind into
steady mind is Hanumaan. So all the arishadwargaas, ego, fear and sanskaaraas
must be totally eradicated. The roles / actors of Mahabharata are the replica /
sobriquet of internal enemies. Arjuna is the aspiring Yogi. The Yogi should get
rid of Bhishma (fear) within him.
“Na chaita dwidhaha
katranno gareeyo”
- - - - Geeta 2-6.
“In this Maha
Bharata war who will become victorious cannot be known” says Arjuna. Arjuna had
expressed fear (Bhishma). Krishna (Buddhi) advised to kill Fear (Bhishma)
first.
A student should
courageously pursue his studies not bothering about employment opportunities. A
laborious player will not fear to attack opponents in sports and athletics.
The next thing a
saadhaka should kill in him is the sanskaaraas (unfulfilled desires that is
Drona). The sanskaaraas may be good or bad. But both are undesirable. Good
sanskaaraas are like golden shackles. Bad sanskaaraas are like iron shackles.
So both will bind the man to the Jagat sansaar. Both will obstruct the
liberation.
Lastly the saadkaka
should kill attachment (raaga) and repulsion / hatred (dwesha) represented by
karna. If someone dies in somebody’s house we will not bother much, where as if
this incident happens in our own house we bother much. So the cause for grief
is not the death but the attachment. Likewise we are very much jelous about
someone else’s opulence and we start hating him where as if our own son or
daughter is happy we will not feel jealously and hence will not hate him / her.
So the cause for hatred is repulsion. The raga and dwesha are represented by
karna.
So the saadhaka
should kill (1) Fear (Bhisma) (2) Sanskaaraas (Drona) and then (3) Attachment and repulsion (Karna) In him.
After this the
restlessness of mind is removed and saadhaka’s mind becomes steady. With steady
mind the saadhaka shall be able to see the Atmajyothi. Light is faster than
sound. So the saadhaka shall realize and gets liberated if he merges / absorbs
with the light.
“Dharma kshetre
kurukshetre”
Geeta 1-1.
So in each and every
chakra (kshetra) meditate.

Bhaga means
opulence, strength (potentiality), fame, wealth wisdom, dispassionation are the
six qualities superimposed on God. Hence he is called Bhagavan.
1. ASWATTHAMA:
ASWA = Horse, THAAMA = Abode. The slave of senses
2.VAIKUNTHA:
The one that is potential enough to commingle all five vibratory elements.
3. MOOSHIKA
VAAHANA: MOOSHIKA = Rat, VAAHANA = Steed. Put pressure on your dark
(taamasa guna) qualities and remove them from within.
4. Vyaaghra
VAAHANA: Vyaaghra = Tiger, VAAHANA = Steed. Supress EGO (Tiger) within and
give it up.
5. NANDI VAAHANA:
Symbol for wisdom (Gnaana).
6. HANSA: As
a Swan differentiates milk and water, give up bad and imbue good. Life force is
also called Hansa.
7. GARUDA: Be
an embodiment of pure wisdom.
8. BHAGAVATAM: BHA = Bhakti, GA = Pure wisdom, VA =
Dispassion, TA = Tatwagnana (I am the God Aham Brahmaasmi), M….MMM… = When one
is adorned with the above then one gets liberation.
9. LION: Lion
mates once in three years. So control lust.
10. ELEPHANT:
Powerful sight in spite of small eyes at a height. Pure vegetarian animal.
11.NAARADA:
NAARAM GNAANAM DADAATI ITI NAARADAHA. The one who provides infinite pure
wisdom.
DANCE
MACABRE / DRAMA of SPIRIT AND NATURE
In an eye, black and
white are a must. If the whole eye is black one cannot see. If the whole eye is
white, then also one cannot see. Likewise in Jagat Sansaar Black (Pain) &
White (Pleasure) both are required. This drama will go on as long as there is
black and white.
“Yogena Naabhim
Drishtwa” = Surya looks at the navel
-
- - - Maha Bharatam
In Maha Bharata sage
Durvasa (in spite of being a sage, he was obsessed with an evil quality of
anger) preaches a mantra to Kunti, dispassion personified.
Kunti wanted to test
the verasity of this mantra. By this, her dispassion is distorted and hence
passion emerged. So Surya (Cosmic Energy) comes down and puts his gaze on
Kunti’s navel (Manipura chakra). Then the self-control in Manipura chakra got
disturbed with the passion of Saadhaka. This resulted in the birth of Karna
i.e. Raaga and Dwesha (attraction and repulsion) when passion with disturbed
self control combines under the catalyst of Cosmic Energy, then the result is
Raaga and Dwesha. Saadhaka should be aware of this.
YOGAAYANAM
Sri
Ram (Universal Consciousness) is at far, even Adiseshu i.e.,Lakshmana
representing moolaadhara Sakti is also at far, Jataayu comes to the rescue of kundalinee
sakti (Seeta Devi). The situation is
some thing like when big denOMination currency is exhausted man will depend on
lower and lower denOMination currency.
Jataayu represents ojaha sakti distorted form of Cosmic
Consciousness. Jata means hair and aayu
means sakti or life force (in head) in
Sanskrit. When that Ojaha sakti is also exhausted, kundalinee
sakti (Seeta Devi) will be under the control of Ahamkaara. Ahamkaara is
represented here by Raavana. Losing all hopes of rescuing, kundalinee
sakti (Seeta Devi) will depend and wait for Sri Ram (Universal Consciousness)
to rescue her. This is the Seeta Apaharan katha in Ramaayana. Apaharan means kidnapping.
Mandhara
means man dhara i.e., the saadhaka who is under the control of wavering
mind. kaikeyi means embodiment of
desires. Sumitra means good friend. Kausalya means good counseling. Because of
Sumitra and Kausalya so far kaikeyi is contented. But when kaikeyi comes under the spell of
Mandhara (wavering mind) she does not care Dasaratha. Dasaratha means the leader of 10 senses or
imdriyaas i.e.,Buddhi (determination). So Buddhi (determination) dies. So kaikeyi (embodiment of desires ) wants
power for Bharata (saadhaka) who is not yet ripe for getting power of Darsan of
Sri Ram (Universal Consciousness). As
per yuga dharma Sri Ram (Universal Consciousness) goes away saying Bharata
(saadhaka) has to wait for 14 years for his darsan. This is story of Sri Rama
aranyawaasa.
Maya
(Nature/SeetaDevi) for ordinary man does not die. Continuous prolonged &intensive Yoga
sadhana is required for janmaraahitya. Then only Nature dies for saadhaka. To show that Nature does not die the Seeta
Agni pravesa story is intended. Agni pravesa means to burn oneself in
fire. Fire brings out Seetaa (Prakriti/
maya ) unscathed. Seeta is Ayonija. Ayonija means Seetha is not born out of
ordinary yoni (vagina). Seetha i.e.,
Maayaa is fully subservient & under the control of ParamAatma. Only under
the control of ParamAatma only Maaya works.
Sri
Rama Padukaa Pattabhishekam/Sri Rama Pattabhishekam
Paaduka means foot wear
made with wood. This Paaduka represents Moolaadharachakra. This chakra
represents Prithveetatwa (Earth—smell). To dedicate this Prithveetatwa to God
as a beginning of starting Sadhana by Bharata, brother of Rama, here Sadhaka,
is Sri Rama Paduka Pattabhishekam. Here
Patta means Merudanda, Spinal Cord. Abhishekam means Dedication.
Sri means sacred, and
Rama means beholding Great Effulgence, SriRama means beholding sacred Great
Effulgence.
Dedicating all the five
electricities in the Merudanda, Spinal Cord, to God for the above ultimate
goal, is SriRamaPattabhishekam.
Jaya Vijaya
Jaya
& vijaya are the Dwaara paalakaaas
(sentries) of Sri Maha Vishnu. This is
considered to be the highest status in Spiritual field. Because of their ego even at that stage, the
sages who come for the Darsan of Sri
Maha Vishnu get annoyed and fall from the the grace of Sri Maha Vishnu. This
story shows the Saadhakaa (meditator) should be extra cautious of the ego that
persists till the end of uniting with ParamAatma. They reunite with ParamAatma after crossing
all the three granthis as explained below in three incarnations i.e.
Hiranyakasipu/Hiranyaaksha,Raavana/Kumbhakarna, and Sisupaala/ Dantaawaktra.
When
saadhaka (Meditator) is burning with ego (self pride/ ahamkaara) then “you are
not man, be a lion, and with a lion effort come out of the grip of this ego” is
the message behind the Killing of Hiranyakasipu/Hiranyaaksha. i.e., the
shedding of Physical body/ Brahma granthi. Saadhaka is completely submerged in
water (samsaar). He (saadhaka) has to be brought out of this prithivee tatwa
(mooladhara chakra)which is initial stage of meditation. So with the teeth of
wisdom, the saadhaka is to be helped for his initial efforts to come out of
this water (samsaar). Va (varishta or great) raaha (road to divinity) &
Hiranyaaksha means eye on Sansaara. This is the idea behind Narasimha &
varaaha Avataara
Ravana
is the personification of lust & ego.
Kumbhakarna is is the personification of over eating& over sleeping. Killing of Raavana & Kumbhakarna
represents shedding of Subtle body/ rudra granthi and make the meditator to go ahead for the
ultimate of entering the kingdom of God. This is the idea behind Rama Avataara.
The
left over or residual child-like doshaas (faults) are removed by shedding of
Idea body/ shedding of Subtle body/Vishnu granthi. This the idea behind Killing
of Sisupaala/Dantaawaktra. Sisu means
child. Danta means milk teeth. So both sisu & danta represents the
residual innocence of saadhaka t.e. obstrucyting him to achieve the kingdom of
God. This is the idea behind Krishna Avataara.
Hanuman
Be
Hanuman. Hanu means killing and man means mind.
That means fix your mind. The lips of Hanuman are red. That is Hanuman is personified with Cosmic
Consciousness. Like-wise fix your mind
and meditate on God till you are personified with Cosmic Consciousness.
Saadhaka
or meditating Yogi should discard Ego, steady his restless mind, get rid of all
the dross of Jeeva, so as to climb the ladder and reach Paramatma and merge
with him. This is the essence of Maanava Janma. This is the meaning of birth as
a human being.
Gayatri Mantra
Gaayantam traayate iti
gaayatri.
The more one chants
Gayatri the more one gets protection.
Na maataa paradaivam na
Gaayatree paramantram.
There is no substitute
for mother. Likewise no other Mantra is a substitute for Gayatri Mantra.

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 Sri krishna 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, Sri krishna 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 Sri krishna 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 Sri krishna’s all
pervasiveness. He also kills a poisonous snake called Kaaleeya in the lake of
Kalindi. This symbolizes the removal of desire, anger, greed, attachment, pride
and envy so as to become divine. Gopi means thought(s). The consciousness
between the thoughts is called Krishna consciousness. Srikrishna steals the
attires of the Gopikas, the belles of Gokulam. This symbolizes bare all before
God. The thoughts of sadhaka should be totally on God and all other things
shall be secondary to him. He sends his friends to the Brahmins who were doing
yagna for food. The Brahmins ridicule the Gopalas, the friends of sri krishna.
Then the wives of those Brahmins bring food for Srikrishna and his friends with
utmost devotion. This indicates that the sadhaka must do his act with
concentration on God only but not on the methodical procedures or rituals.
Srikrishna lifts up Govardhan mountain with his little finger and holds it on
his little finger for seven days to protect his friends and cows from heavy
rains ordered by Lord Indra. Here Indra symbolizes mind and rain(s) indicates
thoughts. The sadhaka must get rid ohis thoughts on materialistic deeds and
develops his bondage with Brahman more and more. Sri krishna kills a demon Kesi
in Brindavan sent by Kansa. Kesi means hair. Hair represents tamoguna or
negative quality.
Kansa, the king of Bhoja,
sends his minister Akroora to Vraja to pick up Krishna and Balarama. On the way
to Bhoja kingdom Sri krishna kills Chanoora and Balarama kills Mushtika. Both
are the wrestlers sent by Kansa. At that time the age of both Srikrishna and
Balarama was five years. Later Sri krishna kills an elephant called
Kuvalayapeeda. This indicates the mighty strength of God. Kubja, the servant
maid of Kansa besmears Sri krishna with Sandalwood powder and adores him with a
garland with utmost reverence and dedication, He not only removes her hump back
and ugliness but also marries her clearly indicates the affection of God
towards his devotees. Sage saandeepa is the master of Sri krishna and Balarama.
The son of Sandeepa was swept away by sea. Both Sri krishna and Balaram goes
into the sea of Prabhasa and brings back the son and presents him to Saandeepa.
This symbolizes the importance of Sadguru.. Sri
krishna kills Kansa. Kansa’s wives Astiand Prapti go to their father
Jarasandha, the king of Magadha. Jarasandha invades Mathura seventeen times to
kill Sri krishna. Evrytime he gets defeated and flees back to Magadha. Sri
krishna leaves him everytime with kindness and pity on him. Srikrishna builts a
town underneath the sea and keeps his folk there. He keeps Balaram in Mathra.
Kaalayavana is a very strong man. He was a friend of Jarasandha. Kaalayavana
runs after Sri krishna to kill him. Muchikunda was the son of Maandhaata. After
several years of penance he was resting in a cave. with Yoganidra. Srikrishna
enters this cage running and hides in a crner behind Muchikund. The raging
Kalayavana enters the cave and kicks Muchikund thinking that he was Srikrishna.
The disturbed Muchikund opens his yogic eyes. The rays of radiance from his
eyes electrocutes Kalayavana killing him instatntly. This indicates not only
the dexterity of Srikrishna but also the power of Yoga. Bhishmaka was the king
of Vidarbha. Rukmi was his son and Rukmini was his daughter. Rukmini loves Sri
krishna. He marries Rukmini forcibly taking her out from the clutches of her
brother Rukmi. He marries Jambavati, the daughter of Jambavant, Satyabhama, the
daughter of Satrajit, mitravinda, the sister of Avanti king, Satya, the
daughter of Kosala king, Bhadra, the sister of Kekaya king santardanaad,
Lakshmana, the daughter of Mudra king. All these show the universal love of
God.
Sri krishna 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.
PATAANJALI ASHTAANGAYOGA
1) YAMA -
non-violence, truth, non-stealing, celibacy, not expecting anything from
others,
2) NIYAMA -
cleanliness of body &mind, contentment, Readingreligious books, total
surrender to God,
3) AASANA -
firm sitting posture,
4) PRAANAAYAAMA
- control over breath,
5) PRATYAAHAARA
- withdrawal of business of senses,
6) DHAARANA -
concentration on one thing,
7) DHYAANA -
incessant concentration on GOD only,
8) SAMADHI -
giving up all forms of GOD, merging with GOD the FATHER.
Dhaarana, Dhyaana, and Samaadhi together are called
Samyak Samaadhi.
MEDITATION will start with
seed and ultimately it becomes seed less. That means you first meditate on God,
merge with Him and become God yourself. Suppose there is a fire accident in
Delhi. Fire is having same burning quality everywhere. But nothing happened
here as there is no fire accident in Hyderabad. Likewise my Sadguru Sri
Yoganada Swami was burning with God consciousness fire so he has become an
illuminated sage. That fire is not within me I am an ordinary mortal. Na tasya
rogo na zaraa na mrityu praaptasya yogaagnimayam sareeram. Shedding mortality,
ageing and disease, the person doing meditation shall be burning with Yoga
fire. Beatitude is obtained by people who do meditation and turn his mind
inwards not outwards.
KRIYAYOGA
Tapaha
swadhyaayeswara pranidhaanaani kriyayogaha.
Patanjali
While worshipping the GOD with folded hands Patanjali was born to his
father. 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 is a
replica of reunion of Atman and Brahman. Physical exercises, self control and
meditating on OM are the constituents of Kriya yoga. Kriyayoga is a
metaphysical procedure. The blood is decarbonized and will invigorate with life
force. The living cells in the head are having positive polarity. The cells in
the remaining body are having negative polarity. The blood invigorated with
life force shall reduce the cell decay. The heart gets relief. Stopping the
breath is given much importance in Rajayoga. In KRIYAYOGA, life force is
controlled, spinal cord is magnetized, life force is directed to Sahasraara
chakra on the top centre of the head, so that the nerves in the head get relief
and ability. Breath is having energy only but not awareness. Life force is
having both energy and awareness.
If you do Om chanting
in Chakras with dedication, then the subtle forces in those chakras shall aid
the Kriyayoga Sadhana.
With the practice of
KriyaYoga Sadhana, the outgoing life force from the Indriyas will not be
wasted. All those outgoing forces will be directed back to Cerebrum through the
Spinal Cord. Then the body of the Sadhak and the atoms in the cerebrum shall
become filled with electro magnetic
Energy and then the atoms will be transformed into Spiritual Elixir.
Even for a small
development of the Atoms in the cerebrum,
12 years of Healthy life is required.
For complete transformation 10 lakhs years of Healthy life is required. Kriyayoga will make it easy for us.
Idol worship
Brahman is omnipresent. He
exists in every animated and inanimated world. He is formless and without any
quality. So formless God 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 India. After their departure local
unsocial activity people are looting and will loot in future also. They will
bracingly occupy the lands given to the temples.
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.
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. Sarvonmaadinee posture. Vasitwa siddhi. Result is Medha or wisdom.

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.
Omkaram
Whole Cosmos is emerged
out of Sphotam, Sound, only. This is called Manifested Brahma,
Vyaktabrahma. It encompasses all the
sounds in It.
Soul is subtler than
Atom, and greater than Cosmos. The meditator hears the sound of OM in his
Kriyayoga sadhana. This called Nadabrahma. This will make the sadhak unite with
Parabrahma. The goal of all Vedas is OM
only.
Viswa, Tejasa, Pragna,
Pratyagaatma, Viraat, Hiranyagarbha, Avyaakruta, and Paramaatma are eight limbs
of OM,
Akaara, Ukaara,
Makaara, and Arthamatra (Half point) are four feet of OM,
Jaagrata (Waking
state), Swapna (sleeping), and Sushupti
(super conscious) are
three states of OM, and
Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra,
Sadaasiva, and Maheswara are the five deities of OM.
The one who does not
know OM or hear that sound cannot attain Brahman.
Omkaaram bindusamyuktam
nityam gaayanti yoginah
Kaamadam
mokshadamchaiva Omkaaraaya namonamah
The syllable
combination of Akaara (Physical), ukaara (subtle), and makaara (Idea) is
Omkaar. This cosmos consisting of Physical, subtle, and Idea worlds is the replica of Omkaar which is
nothing but Parabrahman only.
Om sabda vaachyam cha sabda
prateekam cha.
Adi Sankaracharya.
Om is not a word or
phonics. It is more than that. Om is the word. Its contour and meaning is also
Om only.
Vaagarthaamiva sanpruptau
says Mahakavi Kaidas.
Word and its meaning are
unbreakable. There are no sun rays without Sun. Both are compliment to each
other. The conglomeration or combination of different gestures into a
compatable or coherent form is language. Mathematics or any other subject is
formed like this only. Om is the combination AKAARA, UKAARA and MAKAARA phonics.
It is having Universal concept. The whole Universe has come out of sphotam or
sabdam or sound. The universe that came out of this sound is manifested Brahman
or Vyakta Brahman. The description or Vaachakam of this Universe is the word
OM. This Om can digest all phonics/syllables in its womb.
A Maatra or syllable is
depicted as point in OM. This syllable is representing generator or working
Brahma. VA Maatra or syllable is representing operator or Vishnu in Om. Immm is
representing destructor or Maheswara in Om.
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 first word or sound is nothing but OM only. It will
take the meditator nearer to the God and ultimately make this meditator to
merge with God is this OM only which is called Nadabrahma.
Om tatbrahma om tatvaaytuhu
om tatvishnuhu
Swetaswetaparopanishad
Brahma (working generator),
Vishnu (operator) and Maheswara (destructor) came out of OM only.
Sarva vedaa yat padam
aamananti
katha Upanishad
Lord Yama (the death God)
told Nachiketa that the ideal or goal for all Vedas is OM only.
Ashtaangam chatushpaadam
tristhaanam pancha daivatam
Omkaaram yonajaanaati
braahmano na braahmanaha.
Viswa, taijasa, praagna,
pratyagaatma, viraat, hiranyagarbha, avyaakruta and paramaatma are the eight
limbs of OM. Akaara, Ukaara, Makaara and Arthamathra are four legs of OM.
Jaagrata (conscious state), swapna (subconscious state) and sushupti
(superconscious state) are three states of OM. Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Sadaasiva
and Maheswara are five wings of OM. If these things are not known then one
cannot get liberation.
Hrasvodahati paapaani
deergho mokshapradaayikah
Adhyaayanah plutovaapi
trividhochchaaranena tuh
You can pronounce OM as
hraswam i.e., shorter, as plutam i.e., little longer, or deerghaam i.e., more
longer. Hraswam i.e., shorter OM will remove our sins. Plutam i.e., little
longer OM will make our just desires fulfilled. Deerghaam i.e., more longer OM
will liberate us. If you utter OM loudly so that it is heard then it is called
Vaachikam. If it is uttered in the gullet without opening the mouth then it is
called Upaansu. If it is uttered mentally without any sound coming out then it
is called Maanasikam. Omkaaram comprises Naadam, Bindu and Kala. The concerned
body shall get merged in the next body and gives the result immediately
depending upon the places it is memorized.
Nada, Bindu and Kala are
the replicas of
a) satwa, rajas & tamas
qualities,
b) Conscious, Sub conscious
and super conscious states, and
c) Akaara, Ukaara &
Makaara.
Pranavanaadam japatwaam
tadaa mukto bhavishyanti.
There is a gender
difference between all other Mantras. There is no gender difference OM
chanting. So get liberated by chanting OM.
Liberation has got so many
synonyms. They are:
Raajayogam, Samadhi,
unmanee, manonmanee, amaratwam, laya,
tatwam, soonyaasoonyam,
parampadam, amanaskam, adwaitam,
niraalambam, niranjanam,
jeevanmukti, sahaja and tureeyam.
Uttamaa tatwa chintaiva
madhyamaa saastra chintanam
athamaa mantra chintamcha
teerthabhratyaaha athamaathamaa.
Chintanam means to
think and memorise.
Brahmachintanam is
considered to be First category.
Remembering or thinking (chintanam) about Sastras (Scriptures) is considered to be Second category .
Mantrachintanam is
considered to be third category.
And Teertha chintanam
(pilgrimage) is considered to be Fourth and lowest category.

As per Hindu mythology,
Lord Vishnu had eight incarnations. They are:
1) Matsya: Grasp pure wisdom from the sea of doubts.
2)Koorma: Lead the life with dispassion(Vairagya). Give up attachment.

the most superior Mind, i.e., with steady mind, overcome the difficulties/
obstacles of Physical (Adibhautika),
Subtle (Adi davika), and Idea (Adhyatmika) bodies, get united with Parabrhman
through Kriyayoga Sadhana.
6)Parasurama: Destroy Ignorance with
WisdomAxe(Gnaana Parasu), follow the righteous path of Kriya Yoga, and get
united with Parabrahman.

encounter in life is your Karma.
Overcome that with Kriyayoga Sadhana with indomitable will power, the
faculty provided by God with magnanimity to man kind, and get united with
Paramatma.
8) SriKrishna: Follow the path of Kriyayoga
to satisfy Parabrahman and do incessant and intense Sadhana.
In kaliyuga Kalki, the
Avataar of Vishnu will be born to Vishnu vyas in village Sambhala is what is
written in Srimadbhagavat.
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 Sri Mahavishnu) or Paancha Janyam (counch of Sri Krishna) for
mind, Vaijayantimaala (a garland that adores Sri Maha Vishnu) and pillar for
body are the symbols.
Astibhaati priyam roopam
naamachetasya panchakam Adyatrayam Brahmaroopam jagadroopam tatodwayam.
Asti means Sattu or
omnipotent, bhaati means chittu or omnipresent and priyam means aanandam or
omniscient are eternal. Naamam means names and roopam means configuration are
not permanent. That is Brahman with first three attributes is eternal. The
Jagat with next two attributes is temporary.

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.
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,

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)

For our understading,
let us call ‘‘Sat’’ in the above diagram as an effulgent lamp shedding its
rays. ‘‘Sat’’ means the only Potential one.
Some rays of the lamp ‘‘Sat’’ only are passing through the
transparent glass prism, Maya. The rays in the prism are called ‘‘Tat’’ or Shri
Krishna Consciousness. Some rays of ‘‘Sat’’ shall pass through ‘Tat’, the glass
prism. Some will not pass through. So,
‘Sat’ is in the glass prism as well as beyond this. The existance of ‘Sat’ is
independent where as the existance of ‘Tat’ is dependant on ‘Sat’. ‘Sat’ can
exist with or without ‘Tat’ but ‘Tat’ cannot exist without ‘Sat’.
The rays that are
refracted from the prism come out with a sound
‘OM’ and does the
Creation which is not eternal. Due this reason one has to say ‘Hari’ ‘OM’ ‘Tat’ ‘Sat’’ before the start of any
good work.
All living, inert and
non living beings are the part and parcel of this Creation. In fact only one
exists which is eternal. That is ‘Sat’.
‘Sat’ is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient. It is ‘Sat’ ‘chit’
‘Anand’. ‘Sat’ is Truth Goodness and beauty. If Name and configuration is added
then ‘Sat’ will be called Creation.
Maya is the root cause
of Creation. Ma means not, Ya means truth. Maya is untruth.
The dream of
Parabrahman is Maya. By opening his eyes man can get rid of nightmarish dream. Maya, The dream
of ParaBrahman, God the Father, can be
understood only through practice of essential KriyaYogaSadhana.
Jantoonaam narajanma
dulabham.
To be born as a man is
most difficult one amongst all living beings. It is the best.
One has to get into the
OM from this incarnation, from OM into Krishna Consciousness/‘Tat’, finally
from ‘Tat’ into the permanent abode, Parabrahman/‘Sat’/God the father.
The main theme of Gita
Hey man, awake from
this ignorance. ‘Sat’ means the absolute/eternal Truth, Nyaasi means the Quest.
Sanyasi means the quest for absolute/eternal Truth. With the practice of KriyaYoga get
Samadhi. Sama(equal or merge with) Adhi
(Parabrahman, God the father), Merge
with God.
Man, three bodies
Man is having three
bodies. The outer body that is with
flesh and blood is called the inert Physical body. This is called Sthoola
Sareera.
In side that exists an energetic Subtle body.
This is called Sookshma Sareera.
In side that exists an
Idea body. This is called Karana
Sareera.
For the existace of
these three Physical, Subtle and Idea bodies, man will have individual Soul or
Vyashtaatma.
The physical, health
and social principles are applicable to the visible Physical body/Sthoola
Sareera.
Morals, Meta physical
things, traits of past karma, desires, thoughts, etc are applicable to the
invisible Subtle body/Sookshma Sareera.
Spiritual, divine and
principles pertaining to merger with Parabrahman/God the father are applicable
to the invisible Idea body/Karana Sareera.
Idea body/Karana
Sareera is very very nearer to Parabrahman, the remaing Subtle and Physical
bodies will get the required energy for their existance from Ideabody. The
sequence is from Idea to Subtle, and from Subtle to Physical body. For merger
with God Man has to prepare his Physical, Subtle and then Idea bodies
sequentially.
God has given Will power to Man. Misery,
Pleasure, Happiness of Sense/Action organs are finally enjoyed by Physical bodt
at last.
Man will not get any
punishment until he does not utilise his Physical body for any crime. There is
a provision for a change/realization till the last moment and can escape from
the crime.

Sri Krishna
Consciousness — Kootastha Chaitanya ——The God in Creation.
Sri Krishna
Consciousness has devided itself into seven types of Consciousness.
They are Macro Idea and Micro Idea, Macro Subtle and Micro Subtle,
Macro Physical and Micro Physical. These six and of course Sri Krishna
Consciousness are not visible to the naked eye.
Only the last and final
one Aabhaasa Chaitanya or Reflected Consciousness only is visible to the naked
eye. It is called Universal ego or Bhishma. These are the eight children of Ganga
and Santanu.
Sage Vyaasa,
Chitraangada and Vichitraveerya are the three children of Satyavati.
Sage Vyaasa — the
discriminating Intellect.
Chitraangada —Chitta or
Mahat Tatwa. This provides the required 24 elements for Physical Nature. The
seed for Duality is rooted here.
Vichitraveerya — The
Idea Body related ego. The differentiation between Parabrahma and individual
soul exists due to this.
Vichitraveerya is having two wives. They are Ambica and
Ambalika.
Amba is the Sister of
Ambica and Ambalika. Amba is spinstress. Amba became Sikhandi later. Sikhandi
is a transgender.
The for and against
forces in Sadhaka.
Ambica — First wife of
Vichitraveerya — Positive Doubt
Ambalika— 2nd wife of Vichitraveerya — Negative Doubt
Sikhandi— Neutrality
Bheeshma, great warrior
can not fight with a transgender.
Bheeshma represents ego
in the characters of Maha Bharata. To disown everything is neutrality.
Spiritually, Ego cannot have any effect on the Sadhak who maintains Neutrality.
Ambica is having onle
one off spring viz., Dhritarashtra
Dhritarashtra— Blind
mind because of slavery to sense pleasures. .
Ambalica is having onle
one off spring viz., Pandu.
Pandu.— Discriminating
pure Intellect
Dhritarashtra had two
wives, Gandhari and Vaishya.
Gandhari— The force
that gives fillips to desires
Vaishya— Adherence to
desires
Pandu is having two
wives, Kunti and Madri.
Kunti — power of
detachment
Madri— Adherence to
detachment
Vaishya is having is
having one off spring, Yuyutsu.
Yuyutsu — Desire to
fight mentally.
Yuyutsu fought on the
side of Pandavas in Kurukshetra War. He fought with Kauravas, the internal bad

Draupadi— Kula
Kundalinee Shakti.(Individualized Maya, the delusion). This is the out going 3½
turns coiled life force lying underneath the anus in sleeping State.
The awakened Kundalinee
shall energise the Chakras (plexus) of the meditating Sadhak.
It requires 12 years for the establishment of
the bad habits or past samskaaras and to
weaken the will power. Again to get the will power strengthened and for the
establishment of the good habits or past samskaaras 12 years’ time period of
ardent Kriya Yoga is required. This is the time spent by pandavas in Jungles.
13th year is required for giving up worldly desires and do Kriyayoga
Sadhana with fervour in solitude. This will lead the Meditator or Sadhak to get
into Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
Things that help the
Meditator or Sadhak for uninterrupted Sadhana:
Good Habits or
Samskaaraas.
Spiritual desire––Army.
Sahadeva––Moolaadhara
Chakra, Coccygeal, devine resistance to negative forces that interrupt the
Meditation.

Mahabharata—The
effulgence of Cosmic consciousness.
The evil forces,
Karavas, shall always be troubling the meditator during his sadhana and deviate
him from Meditation.
To weaken these evil
forces and regain the kingdom of God is
Mahabharata. The internal war with these evil forces by the Meditator is
kriyayogasadhana.
Sadguru Srikrishna in
Agna Chakra shall help the Meditator with intuition during Sadhana to become
triumphant that is to merge with Para Brahma.
To awaken the
Kundalinee, the outgoing life force, with Kriya Yoga Sadhana, lying underneath
the Moolaadhara Chakra, and to direct it to reach Sahasrara Chakra is known as
obtaining the kingdom of God.

Apparent meaning of
Mahabharata and Gita:
Dhritarashtra and king
Pandu are brothers. Dhritarashtra is blind by birth. Blind man is not entitled
to rule. So Pandu got the kingdom to rule.
Pandu had two wives,
Kunti and Madri. Their offsprings are called Pandavas. The offsprings of Dhritarashtra are called
Kauravas.
The worm jealousy
entered the mind of Duryodhana. He defeated the Pandavas deceitedly with the
help of cunning Sakuni in ‘the game of dice’, gambling. As per the conditions
of this game, the Pandavas has to give kingdom to Duryodhana and they were to
spend their life in forest for 12 years,
and one year in disguise.
Pandavas, after
fulfilling the two conditions, return to ask Duryodhana to give back their
kingdom. Pandavas sent Srikrishna as an ambassador to Kauravas for negotiations
but of no use. Duryodhana will not agree to give even a space of needle.
Kurukshetra war became inevitable.
Kurukshetra is
Dharmakshetra, place of virtue. The armies of both sides, Pandavas and
Kauravas, were lined up on either side face to face. Shree Krishna will install
the chariot in between the armies at a vantage point as per the desire of Arjuna who wanted to see the warriors of both
sides. Seeing the close relatives like fathers, fathers-in-law, Maternal and
paternal grand fathers, uncles, Teachers, brothers etc., Arjuna started wailing
and asks Shree Krishna as to how can he kill these close relations for the sake
of material kingdom. He feels that it is
a great sin. So he asks Krishna to preach him the Kartavyam, the duty. The
result is Gita.
Eight types of Ahimsa,
Non-violence
Ahimsaa prathamo
pushpah pushpamindriyanigrah
Sarvabhoota dayaa pushpam
kshamaa pushpam viseshatah
Shaantipushpam tapah
pushpam dhyaanapushpam tathaivacha
Satyamashtavidham
pushpam vishnoh preetikaram bhavet.
Non-violence, control
of senses, kindness on all living beings, patience, peace, penance, meditation
and truthfulness are liked by God.
Man(Mind),
Buddhi(Intellect), Chitta(feeling) and Ahamkaara(Ego or Iness) together
constitutes Anthah karana.
Satwa(Positive),
Rajo(Neutral) and Thamo(Negative) are the three qualities.
If the Anthah karana is
filled with the mixure of Rajo and Thamo Guna then it is hardened. With this
quality any amount of so called worships(Pooja), eulogizings(Stotra), religious
vows(Vratham), meditation are done just
for the sake of them without complete dedication and surrendering then that will not lead to liberty. Sarvabhoota Daya i.e., kindness on all living
beings is quite essential. This is the Practical Vedanta or Anushtaana Vedanta.
Yagna
To do Yagna several
things like helping people, Good amount of money, performers like Hotha,
Udgaata, Ritwiks, Learned Pandits, People having knowledge of Sastras,
are required.
The result of Yagnas
(Sacrifices) is trivial. Eternal liberty will not be the result of such Yagnas.
Tyaagam, Sanyasam
To do Karma and
dedicate it to God is Tyaagam.
To do fire sacrifice or
not doing any work is not Sanyas.
‘Sat’ means Truth,
Nyasam means the quest. So the Quest for ‘Sat’ i.e., God is Sanyasa. Without
expecting do Karma. This will lead to attain the Truth.
Penance (Tapas)
To worship
Devas(Deities), Brahmanistas(Those who follow and step into the qualities of
Brahma, the God), Masters, Mahatmas (Great Souls), and acquiring virtues like
Saucham(Purity), Rujutwa (Honesty), Brahmacharyam (Celibacy), and Ahimsa (Non
,violence) are Saareerak Tapas (Bodily Penance). In fact to roam in Brahma is
Brahmacharya.
Satyam brooyaat
Priyam brooyaat
Priyam cha
naanrutam brooyaat
Na brooyaat Satyamapriyam
Etat dharma sanaatanah
Always speak Truth but
speak sweetly.
Sweetly speak but do
not speak untruth.
But Truth should not be
spoken harshly.
This is our ancient
Dharma.
Purity of mind,
Silence, Self control, Purity in thoughts are called Manasika Tapas(Mental
Penance).
Configuration of Gita
Vedas are devided into
Sahmitas(Karma Kanda or Action Chapters), Brahmanas(Upasana kanda or Practcals)
and Upanishads(Gnaana kanda or Wisdom/essence/moral chapters).
Gita contains 18
chapters in total.
Like Vedas, the first 6
chapters of Gita are called Karma shatkam(Action chapters), Second 6 chapters
are called Bhakti shatkam(Dedication chapters), and last 6 chapters are called
Gnaana shatkam(Wisdom chapters).
karma Shatkam is a
mixture of Bhakti(devotion) and Gnaana(Wisdom) yogas. Bhakti Shatkam is a
mixture of Karma and Gnaana(Wisdom) yogas. Gnana is a mixture of Karma and Bhakti(devotion)
yogas.
Gita consists of 18
chapters. These can be devided into Four parts, Karma, Bhakti, Dhyana and
Gnaana yogaas. These four Yogas are not dependant. They are inter dependant. By
doing Karma one will get dedication. The continuous dedication shall lead to
Dhyana, one pointedness. The intense Dhyana shall give the Sadhaka Gnana, Pure
wisdom.
Mahabharat means Great
Effulgence. The Sadhak shall fix his gaze in Kootastha, the centre between the
eye brows, while doing Meditation. Then he will find
Great(Maha) Effulgence(Bharat). His life is useless if who does not get this
Great Effulgence at least once in his life time.
Enemies are two types, Internal
and External. To defeat external enemies physical eyes are required. To defeat
internal enemies internal eye is required. That internal
eye is called ‘Third Eye’.
Every man consists of several
traits. They are: Dhritarashtra, Blind Mind impregnated with love
and affection on his children whether they are good or bad.
Sanjaya, the conqueror of
himself, embodiment of Pure Thinking.
Bheeshma, Ego.
Drona, Habits(Good or Bad)
Vikarna, Raga and Dwesha,
Attachment and de’Tat’chment.
Duryodhana, Kama or King of
Desires.
Dussaasana, Krodha or Anger.
Karna, Lobha or Greed.
Sakuni,Moha or Delusion.
Salya, Madam or
Pride.
Kritaverma, Maatsarya or
Jealousy.
These are the symbolic
representation of Kauravas, qualities of vice, Rakshasa prakriti or Demonic
Nature, in Man.
Pandavas represent qualities of
virtue, Daivee Prakriti, Godly Nature, in Man.
Each and every man contains both
Pandavas and Kauravas in him.
A man can not be 100% cruel. He
may be having 1% Good quality or thinking. That 1% Goodness shall lead him to
think ‘Who am I, where from I have come?, what is my destination?, what I am
doing is right or wrong?’ That leads
him to do Kurukhetra war. Then with his Will Power he will try to overcome his
Karma. That endeavour is called Sadhana. To reach his Home,
Paramatman, is the meaning of his Sadhana.
Pure Mind, Pure Intellect and
Pure Self are one and the same.
Moolaadhara(Coccygeal),
Swaadhisthana(Sacral), and Manipura
(Lumbar) plexus are Kurukshetra.
Manipura, Anahata(Dorsal) and
Visuddha(Cervical) Chakras are Kurukshetra – Dharmakshetra.
Visuddha, Agna, and Sahasrara
are Dharmakshetra.
The outgoing force of life
energy at the base of the spine in Moolaadhara (Coccygeal) is called
Kundalinee. The Kundalinee serpent force runs down through a circular passage
coiled 3½ turns like a snake into the nerves. Only by super
Psycho-Physical methods like Kriya Yoga Practice, this Kundalinee can be
awakened.
The Kundalinee passage is the
Gate Way of the out going Life Force at the base of the spine. This gateway is
responsible for flooding the life current from the soul region of the different
senses of sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing, including the earth bound,
physical, creative force of sex. When this is ego oriented then it
is called sleeping Kundalinee. When it is God oriented due to Kriya sadhana, it
called awakened Kundalinee.
If the battery is not charged in
regular intervals In a Mobile cell Phone whenever required, it
will be dead. Man will bring his Prarabdha karma out of his accumulated
Sanchita Karma. The main thing the man brings along with his Prarabdha karma is
Hansas. One Hansa=one breath-in and one breath-out. To have a healthy and
energetic life at least, one has to awaken the Kundalinee life force by doing
Kriyayoga Sadhana 30 minutes in the morning and evening.
This Kundalinee force is called
Draupadi in Mahabharata.
Arta jana= the one who is
required of help from Sadguru, embodiment of pure wisdom.
The war between Positive and
negative forces during Sadhana to a Arta Jana, Arjuna or the Sadhak, is
expatiated through Bhagavan Shree Krishna, Pure Intellect or Intuition. That
Auspicious Sacred song is called Shreemad Bhagavadgita.
Shree=Sacred
Mat= Mind,
Bhagavat= Parabrahman,
Gita = Song.
Bha= Bhakti or Dedication,
Ga= Gnana or Pure wisdom,
va=Vairagya
(de’Tat’chment/impassion)
ta= ‘Tat’wagnaan or That is You
only wisdom.
The sacred song that
is heard by a Sadhak through Pure mind or Parabrahman is Shreemad BhagavadGita.
Moolaadhara,
Swadhistaana, Manipura, Anahata and Visuddha
CHAKRAS exist in Merudanda, Spinal cord.
Draupadi in Mahabharata
represents Kundalinee lying underneath the anus in the vicinity of Moolaadhara
Chakra, Sadeva Chakra. Kundalinee is individualized Maya.
2½ Knuckles above the Moolaadhara
Chakra in the Spinal Cord is the Swaadhistaanachakra, Nakula Chakra.. 2½
Knuckles of one’s own index finger is the measurement.
Manipurachakra,
Arjunachakra, exists behind navel.
Anahatachakra,
Bheemachakra, exists behind Heart.
Visuddhachakra,
Yudhistira, exists in Gullet.
Agnaachakra,
SriKrishnaChakra, exists in Kootastha. Kootastha is the space between the eye
brows in the fore head.
In the centre of the
top surface of skull, above the Cerebrum, exists Brahmarandhra.
Underneath the Brahmarandhra
exists Sahasraarachakra, Paramatmachakra.
Drupada— Bhautika
vishayavaanchaarahita, Dispassion for material enjoyment due to deep spiritual
fervour.
Dushtadyumna—Antargata
Atmagnana prakasam, internal effulgence burning with the fire of Soul wisdom.
Adibhautika
sangharshana: The Physical pains of
Physical body.
Adi Daivika
Sangharshana: The mind related problems like thoughts, thoughts emanating from
the previous thought(s), etc. These come due to unsteady mind. The Mind make
the Sadhak attracted to Physical wants, where as the Pure Buddhi, intellect,
shall draw the Sadhak attracted to Soul due to interiorization. These are the pains of Mind.
Adhyatmika
Sangharshana: The Sadhak shall be in and out of Samadhi several number of
times. That is he will be coming to Physical Body Consciousness from Spiritual
Consciousness due to the influence of
Sanchita KARMA. After several incessant and dedicated attempts his Karma
will be burnt, Ego becomes eradicated, the Sadhak shall be liberated from his
three conflicts, Body, mind and Soul.
After complete
liberation, Paripurna Samadhi, the Yogi can come or leave this Physical world
at his will. This is called ICCHHA MRITYU. Even if incarnated, he will be
anchored to Parabrahman, God the Father, always.
PADMAVYUHAM – ABHIMANYU
Mahabharat means the
great effulgence. The Cosmic Consciousness is a great effulgence. In order to gain this Cosmic
consciousness the Sadhak has to fight
the forces within and without, the forces of virtue and vice, the forces of positive and negative, is MAHABHARAT.
Abhimanyu—The one who
can control oneself in all ways
Abhimanyu means the one
who is triumphant over self or the one who conquered himself, the liberated
one.
Abhimanyu was entangled
in a Delusion like cob’s web called Padmavyooha, a strategic war plan. He was
surrounded by evil forces like Duryodhana (Kama, desires), Dussaasan (Krodha,
Anger), Karna(Lobha, Greediness), Sakuni(Moha, Delusion), Salya(Mada, Pride),
Kritaverma(Maatsarya, Jealousy), Drona(Samskaara, Habits, good or bad) and
Jayadradha(Abhinivesa, determination of some purpose, good or bad). The Sadhak,
Abhimanyu, with great fortitude of self control could grow beyond the
consciousness of Physical, Subtle and Idea body. Then he attained Samyak
Samadhi. Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi together is called Samyak Samadhi. Samyak
Samadhi is a Spiritual pinnacle, greatest Spiritual achievement. After
attaining Samyak Samadhi the Sadhak cannot live in this mundane world. He will merge with Parabrahman. It is called
MAHA SAMADHI. Merging with Parabrahman is called the exit of Abhimanyu.
Dharana—to make the
restless mind steady,
Dhyana—to concentrate
on God only,
Samadhi—Ecstatic union
with God.
ONAM
Sri Mahavishnu comes in
the guise of a dwarf, Vamana Avatar, and requests Emperor of Demons, Bali, to
donate three feet/steps of land. In
spite of denial by Shukracharya, the Guru preceptor of Rakshasas, the Demons, Bali donates three
feet of land as promised.
The Vamana, Shree
Mahavishnu, magically grows his foot /step infinitely. He keeps first foot/step
of infinite measurement covering the whole earth, second foot/step covering the
whole Space. HE asks Bali as to where to keep His third foot /step. As desired
by Bali Shree Mahavishnu keeps His third foot /step on MahaBali, the Great
emperor, and pushes him to Patala, the abiss. Patala is the region underneath
the earth.
VA means Varishta, the great or steady, MANA
means Mind. Vamana means the steady Mind.
For steady mind three feet/steps are required.
Sadhak, the Meditator
or kriyayoga sadhak confronts three steps during his Sadhana. They are
1)Adibhautika, Physical, 2) Adidaivika, Subtle, and 3) Adhyatmika, Spiritual.
1)Adibhautika,
Physical: —Bodily pains etc.,
2) Adidaivika, Subtle: — Mind related problems like thoughts, sub thoughts etc.,
3) Adhyatmika,
Spiritual: — Sadhana related problems like Sleep, lazyness etc.
These are called Mala,
Aavarana and Vikshepana Doshas, faults.
Sadhak, Kriyayogi, seeing unity with Parabrahman, shall be cautious
about these things. To make mind steady one has to annihilate these three
faulty steps. One should pray God to make his Sadhana a success by keeping
these three falts away from him.
Everything is God and so everything is under His control. God is tangible and also intangible. So He
Himself will come in some Avatar, form, and helps the ardent Meditator or
kriyayoga sadhak in his Sadhana by asking him to part with these three
faults.
Sadhak shall find his
own replica in a miniature form measuring upto his thumb in Kootastha, the
space between the eye brows on the forehead during the intensity of Sadhana.
This miniature form is Vamana.
Bali means to do away the wants with dispassion.
Chakra means thought Circles. Varti means business/ profession. Chakravarti
means the mind professed with wants and thought circles. Bali Chakravarti means
to do away the mind professed by wants and thought circle with dispassion.
Sukracharya means the follower of Ego. It is the source of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada and Matsarya.
Sacrificing these is BALI. The Sadhak has to grow beyond these vices in him. To
keep them within ourselves without following them is pushing them into the
Abiss, Patala. Patala is not anywhere else. It is in us only. To grow beyond these sense wants with
dispassion is what is required.
The Army of Duryodhana
consists of:
Drona—habits, good or
habits, Asmita, Bheeshma—ego,
Asmita, Karna—attachment,Raaga,
Kripaachaarya—Ignorance, Avidya, Vikarna—Dwesha, repulsion, Jayadratha—body
bound inclination, Abhinivesa,
Saumadatta or Bhurisrava, Son of Somadatta, —good, bad, and mixture of
Good and Bad material actions,
Karma, Aahwatthama—hidden
desires, Aasaya,
Duryodhana—king of
desires, Kama, Dussaasana—Anger,
Krodha, Karna and Vikarna —Greediness,
Lobha, Sakuni—Delusion, Moha, Salya—Pride, Mada, and Kritaverma—Jealousy, Maatsarya.
Four things will play a
great part in Sadhana. They are:
Mind, Breath, Sperm,
and Life force.
There are 72,000 subtle
nadis exist in human body.
Amongst them three subtle nadis, Ida,
Pingala and Sushumna are very important.
Ida subtle nadi exists on the left side of
Spinal cord, Pingala on the right side of Spinal cord and in the middle of
Spinal cord Sushumna subtle nadi exists. These three nadis travel upto
Kootastha, the space between the two eye brows, together from Moolaadhara
chakra underneath the anus. Ida and Pingala halt at Kootastha. Sushumna
proceeds further upto Sahasrara chakra underneath the Brahmarandhra in the
middle top of the head.
The Kundalinee, illusion, the individualized
Maya, delusion, is called Draupadi.
Kundalinee, the outgoing life force, is like a snake. Its tail is in the upper
chakras and hood is near the Mooladhara chakra. When man does not do any
kriyayoga sadhana then it is in sleepinf state and hence called Sleeping
Kundalinee. It is awakened with the Sadhana. The Tamed or awakened Kundalinee
is sent through middle Sushumna subtle nadi. This is then travel through
Mooladhara, Swadhistaana, Manipura, Anahata, Visuddha, Agna negative and
Posite and then reach Brahmarandhra
through Sahasrara.
Mooladhara, Swadhistaana and Manipura
Chakras are called Mundane Chakras. This field is called Kurukshetra. Man
confined to this field does not do any good, spitual Sadhana and always self
centered. This field is also called Brahma Granthi, a knot.
Manipura, Anahata and Visuddha, Chakras are
called Mundane—Spiritual Chakras. This field is called
Kurukshetra—Dharmakshetra. Man confined to this field does have mixed mundane
and spiritual feelings. Even though self centered he does think about spiritual
Sadhana. This field is also called Rudra
Granthi, a second knot.
Visuddha, Agna negative and Posite and
Sahasrara.Chakras are called Spiritual or Devine Chakras. This field is
called Dharma kshetra. Man confined to this field does only good, Spiritual
Sadhana and always God centered. This field is also called Vishnu Granthi, a
third and last knot.
The conflicts of subtle positive and negative forces in regard to
Sadhana is called the Great war of Mahabharat.
The crossing of Mooladhara, Swadhistaana, Manipura, Anahata
and Visuddha by Kundalinee force, is
called marrying five husbands by Draupadi.
For Subtle Creation,
there will be reigning deities. To understand them the following table is
given:
Srikrishna Consciousness (God in Parabrahman)
|
Ignorance (Avidya)
Satwa(Positive)
|
Rajo(Neutral)
|
Tamo(Negative)
|
Karana Srishti(Idea Creation)
Akaas
(Space)
Sound
(Sabda)
|
Vayu
(Air)
Touch
(Sparsha)
|
Agni
(Fire)
(Configuration)
( Roopa)
|
Varuna
(Water)
Taste (Ruchi)
|
Prithvi
(Earth)
Smell (Gandha)
|
Ignorance(Avidya) with
its three qualities, Satwa, Rajo and Tamo, and Akasa, Vayu, Agni, Varuna, and
Prithvi, together is called Karana Srishti, Idea Creation.
Kapidhwaja:
The Flag emblem of
Arjun is Monkey, Hanuman.
Kapi means Mind, Manas,
in Sanskrit. Mind exists in the Head. So Dhwajam, Flag, is the replica of
Merudanda, the Spinal cord. Mind dwells on the top of Spinal cord. The Sadhak
should steady the mind which lies on the top of the flag.
The sadhak should apply
monkey face that means he should apply Khechari Mudra as instructed by Guru and
then shall do Kriyayogadhyana. While doing Kriya the Sadhak shall rotate the
life force from Mooladhara to Agna Positive Chakra in Kootastha, the place
between the Eye brows through the Spinal Cord, the Merudanda, So doing he will
magetize the Spinal cord. This is the meaning of Kapidhwaja.
Gateway:
The Kundalini passage
is called the Gate way of the life force at the base of the spine. The Kundalini gateway is responsible for
flooding the life current from the soul region of the different senses of
sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing including the earth bound physical
creative force of sex.
The sleeping Kundalini:
The life force flowing
down from the Medulla oblongata through the spinal centres and especially
through the coiled Kundalini gateway at the Mooladhara is called ‘sleeping
Kundalini because it serves as the medium to establish communication with and
to draw the attention of the ego to the body senses, sex, and the material
world.
The Kundalini
awakening:the life current while retiring or relaxing from the muscles, heart
and sensory motor nerves through the passage in the Mooladhara region and
produces a remarkable spiritual and physical sensation which is called Kundalini awakening.
The sleeping kundalini
is to be awakened and shoukd be made to return to Sahasrara Chakra through
Kriyayoga Sadhana.
Crossing of
Mooladhara(Sahadeva), Swadhisthana (Nakula), Manipura(Arjuna), Anahata (Bheema)
and Visuddha(Yudhisthira) by the awakened Kundalini is called Draupadi marrying
five husbands.
This Draupadi is
nature. Five Pandavas are Pancha Mahabhutas viz., Akasa, Vayu, Agni, Water and
Prithvi.
The Upapandavas, Five
sons of Five Pandavas,are the devine powers emanated when the awakened
kundalini crosses the Chakras viz., Mooladhara, Swadhishtana, Manipura, Anahata
and Visuddha respectively.
The negative powers are
related to the Ida Subtle nadi on the left side of Sushumna in the Spinal Cord,
and The Positive powers are related to the Pingala Subtle nadi on the right
side of Sushumna in the Spinal Cord. The negative powers are Kauravas and
Positive powers are Pandavas and their respective armies.
Habits are the Gurus or
teachers, that show the path. Habits or Samskaras may be good or bad.
Good and bad are the
offsprings of Habits. Good and Bad are the well wishers and bad wishers. The
sons and Grandsons are good and Bad habits are only again.
Om kar is like an
arrow. The chanting of OM is like the arrow of Srirama called RAMBAAN. This
Raambaan is unparallel and the most powerful one. It will not go waste without
kill. Likewise the chanted Om will not
be futile. That will definitely kill the negative forces in this universe.
To utlize Swasa, the
Breath, as a weapon is called SWASTRA. In usage the Swastra has become
gradually came to be known as Sastra.
With the investment of
Swasa, Breath, and to get the kingdom of God
is Vairagya. When Sadhak is not
getting progress the Sadhak will be worrying. The above narration is his
predicament during this state.
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.
Annamayakosam:
The manifestation
of 24 Tatwas from tainted Panchamahabhutaasas lead to Sthoola Shareera or
Physical body. This is called the Annamayakosa.
Five Sense organs (Gnaanen driyas), five organs of Action
(Karmendriyas), Five Pranas, Pancha Tanmatras and AntahKarana are together
constitute Physical Body.
Tanmatra means Power. Akaasha has Shabda (Sound), Vayu or
Air has Sparsha (Touch), Agni or Fire has Roopa (configuration), Jal or water
has Rasa (taste) and Prithvi or Earth has Gandha (Smell).
Praanamaya Kosa
The untainted five
Pranas in Subtle body and five Karmendriyas together constitute PranamayaKosa.

Five sense organs
in the Subtle body, manas(mind) and Chittam together constitute Manomayakosa.
Vignaanamayakosa:
Five sense organs
in the Subtle body, Ahamkar(Ego) and determining Buddhi together constitute
Vignaanamayakosa.
Pranamaya, manomaya and
Vignanamayakosas or sheaths together are called Sookshma Shareera.
Anandamayakosa:
Untainted Panchamaha
bhootas and Three Gunas, Satwa, Rajas and Tamo, are called Avidya or Ignorance.and
this is called Karana Shareera. This is
called Anandamayakosa.
Avasthas or States:
Jagratavastha:
Cosmic Consciousness or
Brahmachetana enters Karanashareera, from Karana to Sookshma, and from Sookshma
to Sthoola shareera and then making all these three Shareeras Conscious is
called Jagratavastha or waking state
Swapnavastha:
Cosmic Consciousness or
Brahmachetana enters Karanashareera, from Karana to Sookshma, and then making
these two Shareeras Conscious is called Swapnavastha or Avachetanavastha. The
Jagratavastha remains unconscious.
Sushupti avastha:
Cosmic Consciousness or
Brahmachetana enters Karanashareera, making it Conscious is called
Sushuptiavastha, Thureeyavastha, Adhichetanavastha or Superconscious
state. The remaining Sookshma and
Sthoola remain unconscious.
The God in Creation is
called Krishna Consciousness or Shuddha Satwa Maya.
The Consciousness in
Creation, three consciousnesses, karana, sookshma and Sthoola in Macro, and
three consciousnesses, karana, sookshma
and Sthoola in Micro, are manifested as seven consciousnesses. These are not
visible to the physical and ordinary eye.
Due to the influence of
Tamoguna Karanashareera will have Mala and Avarana Doshas, and because of
Rajoguna vikshepana Dosha.
When a Lantern chimney
is painted by Black smoke then the burning wick cannot be visible. Likewise due
to Maladosha the Paramatma within us becomes invisible.
We will mistake the
rope as Snake due to superimposition of
darkness. So Avarana dosha or fault occurs due to Tamoguna ignorance of
unsteady mind.
Love and hatred,
selfishness, love, affection, kindness, Happiness, Contentment,
dissatisfaction, Kama, krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada and Matsarya etc are the
vikshepana doshas. This is due to ego.
Due to Mala, Avarana
and Vikshepana doshas the Karana shareera will have 1) body attachment i.e.,
kartritwadoshas, 2) attachment towards Finance, Offspring, and spouse, fame
mongerism, 3) interest in Sastras, and 4) worldly attachment. Because of this man will have Asmita,
Ragadwesha and Abhinivesa.
Asmita means Ego,
Ragadwesaha means attraction and repulsion, Abhinivesha means attachment to his
body.
Our ancestors means
Jeevaatma comprising of Antahkarana i.e., Manas, Buddhi, Chittam and Ahamkar.
Senses are its
Offsprings.
Wants or desires are
the offsprings of the senses.
The individual works
that are being done by the respective senses is what we do for the satisfaction
of Antahkarana, the so called Tarpanas or oblations.
Sadhak in Samadhi i.e.,
in the unision of soul with Spirit, shall put a full stop to these
oblations. This is how the aspiring
sadhak shall think of wrongly.
In fact during Samadhi
the out going life force through the senses is made to take a return path to
the Cosmos through Sushumna in the spinal Cord and through Chakras.
In this process we
concentrate all these outgoing life forces in Kootastha by making them inward.
There in Kootastha the Sadhak will see Jyoti, the effulgent third eye. These
are the real Tarpanams or Oblations we offer to Soul.
One breath-in and one
breath-out together constitutes one HAMSA.
Ordinarily a healthy
man will make 21,600 Hamsas in a day.
This amounts to 15 Hamsas per minute.
If a man does 15 Hamsas
per minute he is called Bhogi.
If he does more than 15
Hamsas per minute he is called Rogi.
If he does less than 15 Hamsas per minute he is called
Yogi.
Tortoise does less than
15 Hamsas per day. If no body kills it will live more than 1000Years.
Yogi increases his life
span with the control of life force. So controlling life force, yogi will be
healthy and will unite with Parabrahman.
Castes
The chakras in the
Spinal cords are like Junction Boxes.
The Cosmic
Consciousness enters Sahasrara through Medulla oblongata. From there it will be directed to Agna
Positive, Agna negative, Visuddha, Anahata, Manipura, Swadhisthana and
Moolaadhara Chakras, the junction Boxes. From there the Cosmic Consciousness
enters into Nerve Centres, Nerves, and then to pertinent organs.
Visuddha, Anahata,
Manipura, Swadhisthana and Moolaadhara Chakras are called Castes.
Sadhak awakens the
Kundalini Force lying underneath the Mooladhara Chakra with his Kriya Yoga
Sadhana. The Chakra upto which his awakened Kundalini reaches shall decide his
caste.
The one who does not do
yoga sadhana at all is called Sudra. His kundalini is in a sleeping state.he is
said to be in Kaliyuga. His heart is considered to be Black. He is in completely ignorant state.
When the man starts
Kriyayoga Sadhana, then his sleeping Kundalini gradually awakens. If the
awakened Kundalini reaches and touches
Mooladhara Chakra, he is considered to be a Kshatriya, Warrior group. He
will resist the forces that oppose his Meditation or kriyayoga sadhana. He
continues to be in Kaliyuga. His heart is considered to be Vibrant.
When the awakened
Kundalini touches Swadhistaana Chakra then he is considered to be Dwija which
means he has taken another birth. He is considered to be in Dwaparayuga. His
heart is considered to be devouted.
When the awakened
Kundalini touches Manipura Chakra then he is considered to be Vipra which means
he is ready to study Veda. Veda means to hear. So he is ready to hear OMKAR. He
is considered to be in Tretayuga. His
heart is considered to be steady.
When the awakened
Kundalini touches Anahata Chakra then he is considered to be Brahmin which
means he starts hearing OMKAR.. He is
considered to be in Kritayuga or Satyayuga.
His heart is considered to be Clean.
In this way the castes
viz., Sudra, Dwija, Vipra and Brahmin are formed. They are gradually came to
known as Sudra,Kshatriya ,Vaishya, and Brahmin castes. The castes are formed as
per the progressd achieved in Yoga Sadhana.
Gradually the castes
are determined by biological birth instead of progress in Yoga Sadhana. By and
by several subcastes have been carved out of the main castes. This way several
castes have come into existence. This has resulted in causing danger to the
Unity, integration and safety of the country.
Eight types of marriages
1) Braahmamu: The
marriage that is solemnized with the mutual consent of bride and bridegroom
witnessed by elders of both sides.
2) Daivam: The marriage
that is solemnized with the mutual consent of
elders from both sides.
3)Aarshamu: Marriage that
is solemnized by taking dowry from the bride.
4) Praajaapatyamu: Wife
is essential to do Sacrices(yagna). Marriage that is solemnized to meet this
requirement.
5) Aasuramu: For the
benefit and safety of king, Marriage that is solemnized by giving financial
assistance both bride and bridegroom.
6) Gaandharvamu:
Marriage that is solemnized due to mutual love amongst both bride and
bridegroom with or without the consent of elders of both sides and without
following any customs, conditions and timings.
7) Raakshasam: Marriage
that is solemnized by forcibly taking away the bride.
8) Paishachikam:
Marriage that is solemnized by administering intoxicants to the bride and
marrying her while she is insane.
Arjuna—self
control, bow—Spinal cord, arrows—Pranayama techniques, chariot—body,
simply sat—without any posture.
Posture or
Asana—Vajrasan, Padmasan or Sukhasan.
We have to understand
the matter in two ways.
1) ANULOMAPADDHATI.:--
To see the matter as Energy of unchangeable Parabrahman. This is the correct way. We should go within to draw back the outgoing
energy and get it united with Parabrahman at the end.
2)VILOMAPADDHATI:-- To see God as always changeable
Creation. This is not the correct way.
In this, we percept the Energy from God
through Senses and express it out
through Senses. This will lead us to be absorbed in ignorance by and by.
TAT TWAM GNAANAM :-- That (Parabrahman) is You
only. This Wisdom is called Tatwagnaanam.
Three bodies
Man has three bodies.
Karana sareera (Idea
body)
Anandamaya kosa
(Blissful sheath) is Karanasareera. It comprises three Gunas, Satwa, Rajas, and
Tamas, the primordial ignorance, form of delusion. It is an armour of ignorance. This is the origin of Subtle five
Electricities, Aakaasa (Space), Vayu (Air), Agni (Fire), Jal (Water), and
Prithvi (Earth). This is root cause of
Creation.
Sookshmasareera (Subtle
body)
Vignaanamaya, (wisdom
sheath), Manomaya(mind sheath), and Pranamaya (Life force sheath), together
comprises Sookshma sareera.
Untainted
Panchamahabhootas (Five electricities),
Pancha karmendriyas (Five Action organs), Pancha Gnanendriyas (powers of
hearing, touch,seeing, taste, and smell), Five Pranas, and Antahkarana (Mind,
Intellect, Feelings, and Ego).
Sthoola sareera
(Physical body)
The physical body is
made of tainted negative traits (Tamo Guna).
It comprises five physical Panchamahabhootaas, Pancha Gnaanendriyas
(Sense organs) made of these physical Pancha mahabhootaas, Pancha Karmendriyas
(Action organs), Pancha Praanaas (Five
Airs) and Antahkarana.
Physical (Sthoola),
Subtle (Sookshma), and Idea (Karana) bodies.
Idea body has 51
initial feelings.
8 amongst them pertain
to Idea body. They are five Pancha
mahabhootas, and three Gunas viz., Satwa, Rajas, and Tamo.
19 amongst them pertain
to Subtle body. They are untreated Five
Karmendriyas (Action organs), Five Gnanendriyas (Sense organs), Five Pranas
(Airs), and Mano (Wavering mind), Buddhi (discriminating Intellect), Chitta
(Sphere of thinking) and Ahamkaar (Ego), called Antahkarana.
24 ideas pertain to
Physical (Sthoola) body. They are:--
Treated Five
Gnanendriyas (Sense organs), Five Pranas (Airs), Five Tanmatras (Forces) and
Mano (Wavering mind), Buddhi (discriminating Intellect), Chitta (Sphere of
thinking) and Ahamkaar (Ego), called Antahkarana.

Idea Body

If water is frozen then
it becomes Ice. Likewise Physical Body
is nothing but solidified vibrating force only.
The vibrations of energy and mind is subtle
body. The pure vibratory Cosmic Energy is Idea Body.
Physical Body is Food
depandant,
Subtle body is
dependant on Cosmic Energy, will power and Thinking magnitudes, and
Idea body is dependant
on Pure wisdom and beatitude.
When a product comes
out of a factory, it produces sound initially. Likewise when Creation is
manifested out of Maya, Cosmic Sound i.e., OM is produced.
This OM is the
combination of Akaar, Ukaar and Makaar.
The macro Physical,
Subtle and Idea worlds constitutes this Universe which is replica of OMKAR
only.
KARMA
KARMA is of three
types. They are: Sanchita, Prarabdha and Agaami.
Sanchita Karma: As one cannot spendthe whole harvest in a day. He keeps his Harvest in a
granary which will be utilized later. Likewise the deeds/acts we do invite Good
or Bad Karma. They will go on accumulating birth after birth that has/have to
be experiencd later. Such accumulated Karma is called Sanchita Karma,
Prarabdha Karma: we bring some Karma from the
accumulated Sanchita for spending for the present. This is called Prarabdha
Karma. The amount mentioned in the Bank cheque given to somebody cannot be
altered by anybody except the giver that too before making it into cash. Likewise
this Prarabdha Karma can be altered as good or bad by the experiencer only.
Aagaami Karma: The karma we do in the present,
good or bad, will be accumulated to be
in use for future.
In the syllogism of
God, one has to experience Good and Bad karmas respectively.
One has to completely
finish his these three Karmas, till then he will be rotated through the cycle
of Birth and Death. One has to cross Physical, Subtle, amd Idea bodies thro
Kriya Yoga Sadhana. Till then he has to undergo pleasure and displeasure.
One to become many is
Creation. Cause and effect culmination is Creation.
See the following
examples:
Potter has made the Pot
with Soil or clay by using a machine.
Potter— Efficient Cause
(nimitta Karan).
Soil or clay—Material
cause (Dravya or upaadaana kaaran).
Machine— Instrumental
Cause (yantra or Sadhanaa Karan).
Paramatma has made this
Creation through Maya in HIM.
Paramatma— Efficient
Cause (nimitta Karan).
In HIM—Material cause
(Dravya or upaadaana kaaran).
Maya — Instrumental
Cause (yantra or Sadhanaa Karan).
Here, all causes,
Efficient, Material, and Instrumental,
are Parabrahman only. His dream is this Creation.
Suppose a man had
dreamt as though he killed four tigers with a sword.
Man— Efficient Cause
(nimitta Karan).
Tigers &
Sword—Material cause (Dravya or upaadaana kaaran).
Sword — Instrumental
Cause (yantra or Sadhanaa Karan).
Here, all causes,
Efficient, Material, and Instrumental,
are Man only. His dream is this
dream Creation.
As the dream of a Man
is not real, the dream of Parabrahman is also not real.
The description of
third eye in Kootastha, the place between the eye brows in the centre of fore
head, is given below:
|
God in Creation(Blue)
SriKrishnaChaitanya
(Tat)
|
|
5 Pointed Silver star
God beyond Creation
(Sat)
|
|
Ohm Generator
Yellow color
|
In deep and intensive
Meditation yogi will experience Soul or self in Kootastha as a great
effulgence, pure Wisdom, and Ohm sound.
This is called THIRD EYE. However amount of spiritual discouses one may hear and may
read, he cannot get a vivid experience. Only through Kriya yoga Dhyana one will
gain real experience.
Vedas
Saam=Complete, khya=Wisdom,
Saankhya means complete wisdom.
Rigveda is the first amongst Four Vedas. The other three Vedas, Yajurveda,
Saamaveda, and Atharvaveda, came out of this.
Three things are very
important in Vedas. They are:
1)Samhita: it is like a tree. Consists of
hymns (Mantras).
2)Braahmanas: it is like a flower. Yagna (Sacrifice)
with hymns. To perform Yagna in accordance with Hymns.
3)Aranyakas: it is like fruit. It narrates about how to cross the barrier between Para
(Cosmic Consciousness) and Apara (Human consciousness).
4)Upanishad: Essence of that Veda. Go within and
get united with Parabrahman. This is what the Upanishad states.
Vedas teach us to start
with worshipping the Nature and its physical forces, and ends with unision with
God, the almighty. This is taught in degrees. The physical, mental , and
spiritual evolution of Man into God is taught gradually by Vedas.
Vedas are devided into
Karmakanda and gnaanakanda.
Karmakanda: What the Man has to do on the physical plane is expatiated. This is called
Poorva Meemaamsa.
Gnanakanda: How to recognize God and get united with HIM with pure wisdom is
explained. This is called Uttara Meemamsa.
Ordinary people will
simply follow only Karmakanda and make efforts to obtain Physical pleasures
which are small in nature.
Men of wisdom will make
huge efforts to get united with Parabrahman which is considered to be the
noblest and several times greater than small Physical pleasure.
Karma, Bhakti, Dhyaana,
and Gnaana are not independent yogas. They are interdependent. The knowledge
gained from books has to be experienced, then only that knowledge is meaningful
and will be fruitified. To gain that experience, war of Meditation is to be
practiced.
Cosmic
Consciousness—thoughts—effulgence—Life force —Electrons, Protons—Molecules—Nature—Earth—Man.
This is the Chain.
Abhishekam Panchaamrita Snaanam
Water
means Nature. To dedicate this water
i.e., Nature back to the almighty God i.e., ParamAatma is called Abhishekam in
Sanskrit. That means the gifts of the giver is not greater. To express this with humility Hindus perform
this Abhishekam ceremony in the temples.
Unless
one becomes a man of wisdom through yoga sadhana, the things of Nature of the
giver i.e, Ether, air, fire, water and earth are five nectars only. That means these five vibratory elements
shall not die for an ordinary man. We bow to the God saying ‘salute to you left
and right, upper and below, around you and every where’ . This is the way of
showing our respects to the giver of givers.
So we express this by dedicating these five vibratory elements to
him. The cow milk, ghee, curd, sugar and
honey are the replicas of these five vibratory elements.
Earth, water, Fire,
Air, and space/Ether are the Panchabhootaas (Five Electricities). This Creation
is made up of with these five. Human
body is also made up of with these five electricities.
As long as these
Creation exists these Panchabhootas shall exist. So they are five nectars,
Pancha Amritas. Oh God, YOU have
provided this Creation consisting of these five electricities. They are
not above YOU. We dedicate these to YOU. To express this conception we dedicate
water to him. Water represents one of the Pancha Amritas and it is easy to
dedicate.
Namaskar is a symbol of
respect in which both the palms are
joined. By joining both the palms there will not be any space left between
them. This is to say, ‘nothing is mine, everything is yours.’. We pay our respects to God by doing Namaskar
and sprinkle water on left, right, above and below, back and front, of our
body. This is called Panchamrita Snanam,
a Hindu way of showing respect to God.
The food
The food will take seven changes to become semen ultimately.
1)Food, 2)Blood, 3)Flesh), 4)Nerves, 5)Bones, 6)Bone marrow, and
7)Semen.
Food takes 15 (Fortnight) days to transform into Blood.
The Blood will take 27(Asterics or stars) days to become useful blood.
This blood takes 41(Mantrasiddhi) days to transform into flesh.
Flesh takes 52 (Sanskrit Alphabets) days to transform into nerves.
Nerves take 64 (Types of Arts) days to transform into Bones. Bones take 84
(Types of living veings 84 lakhs) days to transform into Bone marrow.
Bone marrow take 96 (This body is made of 96 elements or ideas as per
SankhyaSastra) days to transform into Semen.
Semen takes 108 (Hindu Ashtottara satanaamaavali) days to transform into
Ojahsakti.
Kriya yoga
With Kriyayoga Sadhana the human
consciousness will be united with Cosmic Consciousness through Spinal cord. The
wheel of Creation will thus be moving or manifesting through spinal cord.
The consciousness of worldy man normally confined to Moolaadhara,
Swadhistaana, and Manipura chakras and works as a slave to senses and their
objects.
The consciousness of Poets will be working through Anahata Chakra.
The consciousness of Yogi who is having peace, tranquility, and steady mind
shall be working through Visuddha Chakra.
The yogi who has obtained a state of ATMASAKSHATKAR (self realization) or
Savikalpa Samadhi shall see himself as a Vamana (Dwarf) in Kootastha. That
means his Consciousness will be working through AgnaChakra.
The consciousness of Yogi who has obtained Nirvikalpa Samadhi shall be
working through Sahasrarachakra.
Karma means Kriyayoga Sadhana.
Sadhak who does sadhana to unite with Parabrahman has got nothing to do
with these three worlds.
Sookshma (Subtle world) Jagat gets its energy fro Karana (Idea world).
Sthoola (Physical) Jagat will get its energy from subtle world.
The main source of Energy for Matter is Cosmic Consciousness only.
Consciousness means Mind.
Electron +Intelligence=Consciousness.
Mind, Energy, and Matter are three facets of Parabrahman.
Sound travels at a speed of 344
meters per second at 220.
Light travels at a
speed of 3x108 meters per second.
The first manifestation
of Parabrahman is His effulgence i.e., Cosmic Consciousness. This is
Omnipotent. This is called Soorya, Sun. This 3rd eye appears in
Kootastha when the Sadhak concentrates his human consciousness and dual
electricities in his two eyes with intense meditation. This is called Vyashtaatma (individual Soul)
or Atma Soorya, Sun. The omnipotent Cosmic Consciousness also he will behold as
a siver 5pointed star in 3rd eye.
From this 3rd
eye only, the omnipotent Cosmic Consciousness shall enter into nerve centres
and nerves through Chakras, from there
to body, and transforms into Human consciousness.
This human
consciousness will be entangled with Chitta (feelings), Ahamkar (Ego), Man
(wavering mind), and Buddhi (discriminating intelligence).
The human consciousness will perform its
function in four different ways:
1) performing the work within the frame work of Senses, 2) performing the
functions with determination, integrating with Buddhi(Intellect), 3)
manifesting desire with the association of senses, and 4) to give up or move
away from Parabrahman with the wrong conception of Maya, delusion, as real.
The limited human
consciousness in the Physical Antahkarana cannot grasp unlimited Cosmic
Consciousness. It is possible with the practice of Kriyayoga sadhana only.
Mind is manifested from
Atmasurya, Vyashtaatma. Hence the son of Atma Surya (Soul son) is Karana
chetana or Idea mind. So Idea mind is the sun of vaivaswata (Sun). Vaivaswata Manu is Idea mind.
Cosmic Consciousness
(Sun or Vaivaswata) is the source of Life force. Through mind only this life
force is manifested in the subtle body. Mind and Life force are interdependent
or complimentary to each other in the human body. Hence if mind is stabilized,
then Life force becomes stabilized and vice versa.
3rd eye in
Kootastha is the Gate way to transform the Cosmic Consciousness into human
consciousness and life force.
3rd eye is
the source for the manifestation of both the Idea (Karana) and Subtle
(sookshma) bodies.
The 3rd eye
of Idea body is the source for 3rd eye of Subtle body.
Ideabody will have its
own Idea spinal cord, and Subtle body will have its own subtle spinalcord.
Sushumna subtle nadi
pertains to subtle body spinal cord.
Vajra in Sushumna,
chitri in Vajra, and Brahmanadi in Chitri pertain to Idea spinal cord.
The Cosmic
Consciousness and Cosmic energy, both will initially enter into 3rd
eye of Idea body, and from there into Idea spinal cord as Idea Consciousness
and Idea life force. From Idea spinal
cord they will enter into subtle body 3rd eye and from there into
Subtle Spinal cord. Here they will transform into subtle consciousness and
subtle life foce.
This subtle body 3rd
is called ‘Ikshwaaku.’ Iksh means eye.
Manu means Ikshwaaku,
the son of Idea consciousness.
Senses of Physical body
is not the source of ego for Ikshwaaku state. The ego in Ikshwaku state from
Soul. This comes from Soul as such it is called Sahajaavabodhana or Intuition.
The Cosmic
Consciousness and Cosmic energy, both will enter into spinal cord of Physical
body through the spinal cord of subtle body as Human Consciousness and life
force. From there they will enter into Physical senses having sense objects
which work in coordination/conjunction with Karmendriyas, organs of Action.
This state of Physical and karmendriyas is called Rajarshi state. In that
Rajarshi state, man will forget Yoga Sadhana and does not do sadhana.
RA=not Haasyam=humourous.
In Sanskrit Rahasyam
means Kriyayoga is a serious business but not humorous one. People should not imagine that the Kriyayogi
is simply sitting by closing his eyes without doing any work. Kriyayoga is the medium by which the
individual soul gets united with Spirit. It is eternal and truthful Rajayoga.
This Rajayoga is Kriyayoga.
Hiranyakasipuvadha:
There is another
mythological story in Hindu Srimadbhagavat. In this story Vishnu takes into a
form of Half man and half lion called Narasimhaavatara, and kills a ferocious
demon called Hiranyakasipu with HIS paws.
Oh, man, you are not
man, in reality you are a courageous lion, man of divinity. Man, like a
courageous lion, should make lion’s effort to do the practice of Kriyayoga
sadhana so as to come out of his egoistic nature is the essence of this story.
Hiranyaakshavadha:
Hiranyakshu throws the
Earth into water.
In this Vishnu takes
into a form of Pig called Varaahaavatara, lifts the earth with his two wisdom
teeth, kills another ferocious demon called Hiranyaakshu with his nails.
Man is the replica of
Earth. Water represents Family. Man will have two wisdom teeth representing
wisdom.
He man, don’t submerge
into water i.e., Samasar, Family. Get united with Parabrahman with Kriyayoga
Sadhana. Don’t submerge in family. Come out of it with wisdom.
The annihilation of
Brahmagrandi that pertains to Physical body
is the concept of killing Hiranyakasipu and Hiranyaaksha demons. Killing
of ego is very important in Sadhana.
Ravana Kumbhakarna
Vadha:
In Ramayana, the sacred
Hindu epic, two most coveted enemies viz., ego and desire are killed. These
enemies of Sadhak are Ravana and KumbhaKarna, the most ferocious demons.
Ravana brings forcibly
the wife of Rama due to lust. His
younger brother Kumbhakarna agrees to help him in this sinful deed. Vishnu takes the Avatar of Sri Rama and kills
both the demons.
The annihilation of
Rudragrandi that pertains to subtle body
is the concept of killing Ravana and KumbhaKarna demons, the epitomes of
ego and lust.
Sisupala and
Dantavaktra Vadha:
In Srimadbhagavat,
Vishnu in the form of Srikrishna kills two more demons, Sisupala and
Dantavaktra.
These two demons
represents the residual childish ego in the Sadhak.
Sisu = Child, Danta = dentition time for small children.
The annihilation of Vishnugrandi
that pertains to Idea body is the concept of killing Sisupala and Dantavaktra
demons, the epitomes of the residual childish ego in the Sadhak.
Kundalini
Kundalini force is like

(secluded life), and
4) Sanyaasam:Sat means the only Truth.
Nyaasam means the
Search for truth.
Kundalinee
Praana= life
force, Yaama= controlling.
The controlling of life
force is called Pranayama. Control of
breath is not Pranayama. The whole universe is filled with Life force.
We stepdown the
24000volts electricity into 240v with cascaded step down transformers so as to
be useful for us.
River water is brought
to us through huge water pipes. Then it will be made to pass through small
pipes so that they will be useful to us.
Likewise the distorted Cosmic Consciousness is transformed into Life
Force so that it will be useful for us in Micro level and the same life force
is spread in the whole universe in Macro level.
This life force only is making this universe existent. This life force
is called Paraprakriti.
This life force only is
manifested in different ways in this universe as creatures, plants, birds,
animals, and mankind. The mechanical power that make the lungs, Heart, liver,
and kidneys etc., to function is this life force only.
The Soul in the body is
the master, and life force is its servant. The commands of self are executed by
life force through the medium of Ego.
Life force is intelligent but will not have any spiritual
consciousness. Pure soul can survive
without life force but the life force cannot survive without Soul.
Paramatma is one. HE became many. To become many is his dream.
The movement of Dream is done in the head of man while the rest of the body is
not having any movement.
The matter for all the
things in the dream is supplied by the dreamer himself. Likewise the supplier of matter for the dream
of Paramatma is Himself only.
If the physical eye is
opened then the dream of man will melt away. But the dream of Paramatma will
vanish if the third in the kootastha is opened with Kriyayoga Meditation by
man.
The life force is
supplied to all the living beings in a required manner. The life force that is
supplied to the man in arequired manner and magnitude is called Chief life
force or Mukhya Pranasakti.
This Mukhya Pranasakti
enters the embriyo alonwith Jeevatma or self. It will remain with that being
till death pertinent to his Karma.
Food will depend upon
life force. Apart from this, this chief
life force enters from the Universe as a cosmic consciousness into Cerebrum
through Medulla oblongata. From there it will be distributed to the remaining
Chakras proportionately.
Oxygen will have energy
only. The life force will have both Consciousness and Energy. Life force will
be available throughout the body. It will be doing different works in different
organs/parts of the body and hence it will have different names pertinent to
its function.
In the name of
Pranavayu, it does Crystallization. Crystallization means manifestation of
several functions.
In the name of
Apanavayu, it does Elimination. Elimination of all waste products.
In the name of
Samanavayu, it does Assimilation. Assimilation means digesting the food and
then distributing the proteins required by different organs and helps in
production of new cells in place of dead cells.
In the name of
Udaanavayu, it does Metabolizing. Hair growth, flesh, and skin requires
different cells for nourishment and different equations will be happening for
this. This is called Metabolizing.
Praana and Apaana are
two important electricities in our body.
Apaana currents will
travel from kootastha to to Anus through Agna, Visuddha, Anahata, Manipura,
Swadhistaana, and Moolaadhara via spinal cord and from there it goes out.
Through the anus. This is not steady and hence make the man slave to senses and
sense objects.
The Pranavayu travels
from Anus to Kootastha via Mooladhara, Swadhistaana, Manipura, Anahata,
Visuddha, and Agna chakras upto Kootastha. This is peaceful. It will unite self with Paramatma during
sleep and Yogadhyana.
Apana pulls the
consciousness of man to worldly things, and Prana pulls it towards
Parabrahman. So one current pulls
without and another pulls within. For Sadhana, going within is very essential.
This is called making the sadhak Antarmukh.
This makes the unision with Parabrahman becomes easier. Making the consciouness inwards to get united
with God is called Kriyayoga.
When Mukhyaprana in the
guise of Apanavayu goes out of anus, enrgy will be spent for cells, tandons,
tandons, for transmiting the messages to the brain and from the brain to the
reqired organ through the sensor and motor nerves, and for mental thinkings etc. In this process
several waste products will be left in the blood. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one such
waste product. That impure blood has to
be cleansed immediately failing which the physical death occurs. To restore the spent energy and rejuvenation, Mukhyaprana is required with the pulls of
Praana and Apaana, quite opposite in nature, in Spinal cord, the breathing
process exists.
When the life force
goes up, it will carry life force consisting of Pranavayu into the lungs and
there the Carbon dioxide is removed. This is called breathing. To purify the liquid and solid things in the
stomach, more time is required. That cleansed/purified energy is pumped into
the cells is this life force only. This purified life energy will be
reinvigorating the chakras in spinal cord, kootastha, and Cerebrum. The residual energy from the Breath is
carried to all parts of the body by the blood.
Then Panchapranas (Five airs) shall be utilizing that life energy in a
required fashion.
The physical body
consists of Physical spinal cord, Physical brain, and Physical places for
chakras.
Subtle body has subtle
spinal cord, subtle brain, subtle locations for chakras,and subtle nervous
system.
Subtle nerves are
called sookshmanadis. Nerve is a physical term which is tangible, and subtle
i.e., sookshmanadis are not tangible.
The energy needed for
Panchakarmendriyas, and Pancha Gnanendriyas of the physical body is supplied by
Subtle body. Subtle body supplies the required energy to Panchapranas through
subtle nadis. The sushumna’s outer effulgence coverage of lifetrons, seven
chakras, the lifetrons of subtlenadis of panchabhootas, are controlled by
subtle body.
Sushumna subtle nadi
spreads from mooladharachakra to Sahasraarachakra adjacent to Brahmarandhra of
Cerebrum.
The four rows of
sympatathetic nervous system existing on either side of Physical spinal cord
resembles subtle spinal cord. Ida,
pingala, and the Sushumna subtle nadis constitutes one row. Vajra in side
Sushumna is second row. Chitri in Vajra nadi is third row of subtle nerves. The
outer cover of Brahmanadi in side chitri is the fourth row.
This Brahmanadi is the
spinal cord of Karanasareer, Idea body.
33 beeds are there in
the physical spinal cord. They are for the protection of four rows of
sympatahatic nervous system.
The outermost nerves
consist of Dura matter membrane filled with lymph. In side this nerves
Arachnoid membrane exists that protects the liquid that comes out from brain.
In side this Pia matter exists consisting of white & gray matter which
itself is surrounded by Vascular membrane. This consists of Afferent &
efferent nerves. This is the media by which Cerebrum, membranes, sense organs,
action organs and other important organs are connected. There will be subtle
canal in white & grey matter.
The physical eye
consists of white, Iris, and pupil.
Behind that in the
subtle wisdom natured 3rd eye, there will be Golden ring in place of
Physical white.
There will be Blue ring
inside Golden ring. This Blue ring represents Iris.
There will be 5pointed
Silver star inside Blue ring. This 5pointed Silver star represents Pupil.
The extended hands to
the sides, head, and two feet in standing position of a man, represents the
star. Head represents Akaas, the extended hands representVayu and Agni, two
feet represent Jal and Prithvi.
Eating unpolished rice
is better than wheat for diseases like Blood pressure, arthiritis, and Allergy.
There are 72,000 subtle
nadis existing in our body. Ida on left, Pingala on Right, and Sushumna subtle
nadi in their centre are very important.
Effulgence is the outer
cover of Sushumna subtle nadi. This will control the physical works of subtle
lifetrons of the subtle body. Ida and Pingala will organize the sypathatic
nervous system in Physical body.
Sushumna extends upto
Sahasrara from Moolaadhara.
The Vajra in
Sookshmanadi extends upto Sahasrara from Swadhistaana. This will supply energy
for Contractions and rarefactions of Subtle body and for all the movements.
Chitri nadi in vajra
extends upto Sahasrara from Manipura.
This will coordinates the spiritual or consciousness related works of
subtle body.
The works of Sushumna,
Vajra, and chitri nadis are chiefly controlled by Sahasrara.
Sahasraara is the brain
of Subtle body. The effulgent rays of this Sahasrara are supplying the energy
required for Sahasrara and other six chakras. Physical Brain, the Physical
locations of chakras, nerve centres, from there to nerves for their respective
Physical works get energy from Sahasrara only.
Physical body is made
of flesh and blood.
Subtle body is made of
lifetrons or pure Gnana effulgence.
Idea body or
Karanasareera is filled with only Consciousness or thouhtrons.
Karanasareera is the
source for the existence of Human consciousness. Karanasareera has brain of
pure wisdom, and a spinal cord viz., Spiritual Brahmanadi. This will be
enveloped in Chitri subtle nadi. Chitri is of only Consciousness personified.
Sthoolasareera,
Physical body, has physical Chakra locations. Likewise Subtlebody, has Subtle
Chakra locations. Likewise Ideabody, has Idea Chakra locations. They are all
mutually juxtaposed.
Ideabody has seven Idea
chakras.
Physical Chakra
locations, Physical Brain, Subtle Chakras, Subtle brain, Idea Chakras, and Idea
brain work together.
In nutshell, all
Physical, Subtle, and Idea bodies work together as a whole unit.
Physical, and Subtle
bodies both are like tools and will
cooperate with Ideabody in respect of recognition, desire, and
experience.
The brain of Ideabody
is reservoir of Cosmic consciousness that is filled with eternal energy,
eternal consciousness, and eternal Happiness.
The manifestation of
Spirit or Paramatama is Vyashtaatma, individual soul. When Cosmic consciousness
is entering into Idea body Chakras, then it will express itself as pure wisdom
in the Idea cerebrum, intuition in Medulla, Peace and tranquility in Idea
Visuddha chakra, as controller of Life force in Idea Anahata, self-controller
in Idea Manipura, as fortitude in Idea Swadhistana, and as power of resistance
as well as epicenter of incessant thoughts in Idea Mooladhara chakra.
Sri Krishna ––16000
Gopikas
Gopyam and Rahasyam are
very important words in Sanskrit.
Gopyam = the
concealed. Rahasyam= ra+hasyam= rahita
haasyam= not to be laughed of.
Sadhana is not to be
laughed of, it is a very serious business.
Thoughts are not
visible outwardly, they are invisible and concealed. Savam (dead body) will not
have any thoughts. Sivam (living one) is auspicious one. Sivam has thoughts.
Thoughts are the rays of consciousness.
Kavita (Poetry) comes
out of Kavi (Poet). Likewise Gopika has
come out of Guptam. So all Gopikas are different thoughts. So each thought,
good or bad, is an embodiment of consciousness.
Sarvam khalu idam
Brahma. The Consciousness exists everywhere. It is all penetrating/all
pervasive. Sun and sunrays are not two different things. Likewise
Srikrishnaparamatma and Srikrishna Consciousness are not two different things.
Srikrishnaparamatma or
Srikrishna Consciousness are not limited and tangible things.
Yogi will have only one
Thought i.e., Paramatma thought.
Ordinary man will have
several thoughts, say 16,000 thoughts. No body can count the unlimited thoughts
that are emanated out of the mind. Just for the sake of it, it was mentioned as
16,000 thoughts. In a huge gathering, one cannot count the number of people
attended. They give the approximate numbers. Here is the same case in respect
of 16,000 thoughts mentioned. 16,000
Gopikas are in fact 16,000 thoughts. So there is Cosmic consciousness
(Srikrishnaparamatma) behind each and every thought/Gopika. This is inner
meaning of Srikrishna is having 16,000 Gopikas.
Vayus –– utility
Pranavayu protects
decay of body.
Vyanavayu protects the
body from anaemia, and low and high blood pressures.
Samanavayu protects the
body from weak digestion.
The organs, muscles,
tandons, and membrenes etc. should not
grow more than required. Udaanavayu protects this.
Apanavayu protects the
body from the growth of toxins, Gastric problems, tumors, the growth of Cancer
cells and piles problems.
When the Cosmic
consciousness enters Idea body, it is transformed into Idea Consciousness. When
this Idea Consciousness enters into Subtle body it is transformed into Subtle
Consciousness. When this Subtle Consciousness enters into Physical body, then
this Subtle Consciousness is transformed into Physical Consciousness. The
spirituality of Cosmic Consciousness will be getting distorted due to these
transformations. The Physical Consciousness is the lowest amongst all the
consciounesses, Physical, Subtle, and Idea.
The pure wisdom is
manifested as discriminating intelligence (Buddhi). That Buddhi is manifested as Blind mind, the
slave of senses. Lastly that mind is
manifested as inert physical body.
The sadhak may worship Sadguru in three ways
with affection.
1) he can submit
himself or surrender himself totally to Sadguru.
2) he can remove his
doubts by questioning the Sadguru with meaningful questions.
3) by serving Guru with dedication he may please
sadguru.
Karma
Four types of Karma and
its results:--
1)Purushaakaara: The
karmas that are done in the present time influenced by will power. They are not
done as per the influence of past karmas. These are independent of past karmas.
2)Prarabdha: The karmas
that are done in the present time influenced by past karmas. These are
dependent of past karmas. They are done without utilizing the will power
provided by God especially to the mankind.
They are impediments to the growth of man, physically and mentally. The karmas will give the results right from
the onset of birth, now and then. Sometimes they will wait for the right time
to yield the results.
3) Pararabdha: The past
karmas that are not yet given the results in the present time. They will wait
for the time to yield the results in
this birth or the next birth. Every new karma is formed as per the design of
the past karmas. This way, the karmas will be getting repeated and will reflect
as new or bad samskaras, habits, in our lives.
Our past, present, and future lives are in a way dependent on the good
and bad results of the karmas we do.
Under the influence of Maya, delusion, man does not know about his past
and future. This Maya is also manifested
in a righteous way by Parabrahman. This righteous Maya is christened as Karma
Bandham, bondage. So man should get of this bondage with Sadhana.
4) Prahadara: Yogi with
his Kriyayoga sadhana can burn these above three karmas, Purushaakaara,
Prarabdha, and Pararabdha.
Chakorapakshi (Greek
partridge)
The fortnight from
Amavasya (New Moon) to Paurnami (Full Moon) is called Suklapaksha or Lunar growing
period as per Hindu Almanac.
There is a Religious
vow, a course of conduct or living which one resolves to adhere to. The Sadhak
will start with one cudgel of food on the first day of Sukla paksha. Then the
Sadhak will gradually increases his food in take at the rate of one per day.
Ex: First day one cudgel, second day two cudgels, like this on 15th
day i.e., Paurnami (Full moon day) 15 cudgels.
The fortnight from
Paurnami (Full Moon) to Amavasya (New Moon)
is called Krishnapaksha or waning period of lunar as per Hindu Almanac.
The sadhak in this period gradually deceases his food in take at the rate of
one per day. Ex: First day 15 cudgels, second day 14 cudgels, like this on 15th
day i.e., Amavasya (New moon day) Zero cudgels.
This is called Krichra Chandraayanavrat, a religious observance.
The Chakorapakshi
follows this principle. It appears as though this bird is following this
religious observance. That is the reason this bird is having a special
significance in religious parlance. In
spirituality, the sadhaks take this bird as an ideal to follow certain food
restrictions while doing Sadhana in order to get unision with God, the
Parabrahman.
Jaatakapakshi:(Jataka
Bird)
The mother bird will leave the egg while
flying in the sky. Befoe the egg strikes the earth, the egg becomes a young
bird and again flies in the sky. The young bird will have a hole in its neck.
The mother bird takes the young one and flies up above towards the rain side in
such a way that the drops of rain water enters the hole of the young one’s
neck.
Such are the principles
of the above birds in respect of getting food.
Beholding the systematizm of the above birds in respect of
getting foods, the sadhak should scrupulously follow the principles in respect
of control of food, senses etc., zealously in order to get united with God, the
Prabrahman. The sadhak should have a intense longing for the rain waters of
grace of Parabrahman.
Kriyayoga can be
practiced by anybody, no caste, no religion, and no race.
Diiferent Yogas
1) Hathayoga: To discipline the body certain
bodily postures are illustrated.
2) Layayoga: To hear
the auspicious sound of OM and immersed in that sound.
3) Karmayoga: To do
Karma without expecting any result.
4) Mantra yoga: To do Root word (Beejakshar) chanting, and OM
chanting, in Chakras, Om chanting in Sahasrara Chakra, and tokar Kriya etc.
5)Rajayoga: Pranayama
Techniques i.e., to control Life force as per the Ashtaangayoga of
Patanjali.
Darbhasan: This Kusha grass is available in almost all places of the world. This will
insulate body to the earth, and will not allow the moisture to make contact
with the skin. It gives a cushioning effect. In this present day world cushion
pillow can be used.
Deer or Tiger skin: This will create the heat by which
the Kundalini awakening will be quickened. One should not kill the tiger or
deer for this. The skins of the dead animals should be utilized. A woolen rug covered with a silken cloth can
be used in the present day world.
Doshas or faults
Maladosha: The glass in a lanthern will be darkened with smoke emitted by the wick in
that and will not allow the light rays to come out of it. If it is cleaned with
scrubbing powder, then it will burn again with effulgence. Maladosha is akin to it. God in us is covered with ignorance.
Aavarana Dosha: It will obscure the reality of SAT and make IT to appear differently. In
darkness we mistake the rope as a snake.
Both Mala, and Avarana
Doshas are caused by Tamo Guna.
Vikshepana Dosha: The dualities, attraction and repulsion, misery and happiness,
selfishness, Love and hatred, contentment and discontentment, and
Arishadvargaas, are called Vikshepana Dosha. They occur due to Rajo Guna
influence.
Karana Sareera is influenced in this way by
Mala and Avarana Doshas due to the influence of Tamo Guna, and Vikshepana Dosha
due to the influence of Rajo Guna.
Avasthas (States)
They are of three
types, Jagrata, Swapna, and Sushupti.
Jagrataavastha (Waking
State)
The Cosmic
consciousness initially enters into Kaarana (Idea body) sareera, then to
sookshma (Subtle body) sareera, and from there it enters into Sthoola
(Physical) sareera, by which all the three bodies become active and conscious.
Swapnavastha,
Avachetanaavastha or Nidravastha (Sleeping state):
Karana (Idea body)
sareera and Sookshma (Subtle body) sareera, and Sthoola (Physical) sareera,
both the bodies become active and
conscious. Physical body will be inactive and sleepy.
Sushupti or
Adhichetanaavastha (Super conscious level):
In deep sleep and deep
meditation both subtle and physical bodies will be inactive. The senseless
ignorant form of Karanasareera is merged with Cosmic consciousness and the rest
subtle and Physical will be inactive.
Srividya
Kundalinee saadhana is
called Srividya. In this five important things are to be followed
scrupulously. They are:
Aahaaraniyamam (Food
conditions): To eat saatwik food.
Aatmaniyamam (Self
conditions): To control the senses.
Nivaasa niyamam
(Dwelling conditions): Not to stay in unwanted places.
Pravartana niyamam
(Character pattern): Not to use undesirable means to earn money.
Samsarga niyamam
(friendship conditions): Not to do unwanted friendship.
After following Yama,
Niyama, AAsana, and Pratyaahaara, if the sadhak does 12 good Praanaayaamaas,
then he will go within. This is called Pratyaahaar or Antarmukhatwam.
If the he cannot go
within with this, then the sadhak should go on adding multiples 12 Pranayaamas
till he goes within.
If the sadhak does 144
good Praanaayaamaas, then he will get Dhaarana i.e., concentration of mind.
If the sadhak cannot
get Dhaarana with this, then he should go on adding multiples 12 Pranayaamas
till he gets concentration of mind.
If the sadhak does good
Praanaayaamaas of 1728 or more, then his meditation will be stabilized.
In one sitting, in one
posture, if the sadhak does 20736 good Praanaayaamaas, then he will get
Samaadhi, the ecstatic union with God, at that time of that day.
This body is Rath,
Chariot.
Soul/self is Rathika,
the charioteer.
Intellect is the
Driver.
Mind is the reins.
Senses are Horses.
Deluse or Pralaya
Every night these
Physical, subtle, and Idea worlds become
inactive and merge into Cosmos. This is called eternal deluse or dissolution,
Nitya Pralaya.
Kaliyuga = 4,32,000
years.
Dwaaparayuga =8,64,000
years.
Tretayuga =12,96,000
years.
Krita or Satya yuga
=17,28,000 years.
Kaliyuga+Dwaaparayuga+Tretayuga+Krita
or Satya yuga =one Mahayuga.
71x4= 284 yugas = one
life time of Manu.
Life time of 14Manus =
14x71=994 yugas =43,20,000 years.
One night of Brahma =
1000yugas
One day of Brahma =
1000yugas.
This Brahma is called Karya Brahma, Action
Brahma.
One day of Karya Brahma
= 2000yugas.
The deluse or
dissolution between one yuga and another yuga is called Avaantara Pralay.
In any deluse or
dissolution, the Idea body remains. but the physical and subtle bodies are
destroyed.
In deluse or
dissolution, the physical body/earth dissolves in Physical Water, that into
Physical Agni (Fire), Fire into Physical Air, Physical Air into Physical Ether.
This Physical Ether
dissolves in subtle Earth (the macro ego), subtle earth into subtle Water
(macro feelings), that into subtle Agni (macro intellect), Fire into subtle Air
(Macro mind). This macro mind is called MAHAT TATWA.
The present Yuga is
ascending Dwapara yuga and it started at
year 1700 as stated by my Parama Guru Gnaanavataar, the incarnation of
wisdom, Sri Yukteswar Giri Swamiji. This has been narrated by him in his Great
book ‘Kaivalya Darsan’ with illustrations.
Earth has got its own
satellite, moon, revolving around it. The other planets like Venus, Mercury,
Saturn, Mars etc have got their respective satellites revoving around them in
their respective orbits. Every planet has got its own orbit. They not only revolve around themselves but
also revolve around Sun in their own orbits in elliptical order.
Likewise Sun also
revolves around himself and also revolves elliptically around a star as its
centre of orbit. This is called Vishnunabhi, the Universal grand centre.
On the Vishnunabhi it
is shown in Hindu mythological pictures as Brahma sitting on a lotus.
Brahma is the centre of
wisdom. Lotus inspite of being in water will not get rotten. So inspite of
being in this water like sansar (mundane world), one will not lose balance and
remain anchored to God and should continue his Kriyayoga sadhana without
forgetting HIM. That is real wisdom.
To make one resolution
around Vishnunabhi, Sun will make 24000 years. 12000 years is half ripple. The full circle consists of two half ripples,
ascending and descending.
The Vernal
Equinox(Mesha Sankranti) falls on 21March of every year.
The Autumnal
Equinox(Tula sankranti) falls on 23 September of every year. On that day, day and night will be equal.
When Sun enters into
Makara Rasi then it called Makara Samkraanti. This is the start of Summer
Solstice or Uttaraayanam. Around 21st
June every year, Sun travels away from Equator
23 ½ ౦ towards north. That is why winter starts.
When Sun enters into Karkataka Rasi then it
called Karkataka Samkraanti. This is the start of winter Solstice or Dakshinaayanam. Around 21st December every year,
Sun travels towards Equator 23 ½ ౦ towards South. That is
why Summer starts.
In the 24000 years of
travel course of Sun around Vishnunabhi, the first 12000 years ascending ripple
contains Kali, Dwaapara, Treta, and Satya Yugas. They are called ascending
yugas. The next 12000 years discending ripple contains Satya, Treta, Dwaapara,
and Kali Yugas.
Every yuga contains
mutation period at the rate of 100 years for every 1000 years in the beginning
and in the end.
This way
Kaliyuga =
100+1000+100=1200 years.
Dwaaparayuga =
200+2000+200=2400 years.
Tretayuga =
300+3000+300=3600 years,
Satyayuga =
400+4000+400=4800 years
Total = 12000 years.
1700 A.D. is the start
of Ascending Dwapara yuga. If the
initial 200 years mutation is added then then 1900A.D. is the start of real
Ascending Dwaapara yuga. 116 years real
Dwapara yuga elapsed till this year i.e., 2016. In the year 4100A.D. the
Ascending Treta yuga starts.
Pandavas handed over
the kingdom to Raja Parikshit and they went together with learned people to
Himalayas for penance. At the time of Raja Parikshit, the discending 2400 years
already completed and descending Kali yuga already started. But nobody dared to
tell this fact to the King as the start of Kaliyuga is deemed to be bad thing.
Due to the dearth of learned people, the
existing timid people told Parikshit that the Dwaparayuga is continuing by
erroneously extending it. That way 2401
discending Dwapara yuga existed.
Vernal equinox (Mesha
sankraanti) is at a distance of 200
54’ 36’’ feom fixed star Revati of Mesha
Rasi first Paada(Part). That has elapsed
1394 years and presently it is 194 years Ascending Dwapara yuga. This is what
Swami Sri Yukteswara Giriji said in 1894A.D. Presently it is 114th
year of Ascending Dwapara yuga after deducting the initial mutation period of
200 years.
The qualities of yugas:
Kaliyuga:
When Sun is revoving
around Vishnu nabhi, the first ascending 1200 years is ascending Kaliyuga in
the first half of 12000years ripple. At this time of ascending Kaliyuga, Dharma
(righteousness) will be on one paada, 25%.
In ascending order it gradually increases.
Intellect will give
preference to the physical things but
moves towards Parabrahman from where it has come. In descending Kaliyuga man give preference
only to physical things only and moves away from Parabrahman.
Dwaparayuga:
When Sun is revoving
around Vishnu nabhi, the first ascending 2400 years is ascending Dwapara yuga
in the first half of 12000years ripple. At this time of ascending Dwaparayuga,
Dharma (righteousness) will be on two paadas, 50%. In ascending order it gradually increases.
Intellect will give
preference to the mental things but
moves towards Parabrahman from where it has come. In descending Kaliyuga man give preference
only to mental things only and moves away from Parabrahman.
From the year 1700 A.D.
man has made many Scientific inventions and innovations, and it is due to the ascending mental faculties.
Tretayuga:
When Sun is revoving around Vishnu nabhi, the
first ascending 3600 years is ascending Treta yuga in the first half of
12000years ripple. At this time of ascending Tretayuga, Dharma (righteousness)
will be on three paadas, 75%. In
ascending order it gradually increases.
In ascending Treta yuga
Intellect will give preference to the Ideas but moves towards Parabrahman from where it has
come. In descending Kaliyuga man gives
preference only to Ideas only and moves gradually away from Parabrahman.
Satyayuga:
When Sun is revoving around Vishnu nabhi, the
first ascending 4800 years is ascending Satya yuga in the first half of
12000years ripple. At this time of ascending Satyayuga, Dharma(righteousness)
will be on Four paadas, 100%. In
ascending order it gradually increases.
In ascending Satya yuga
Intellect will give preference to the Ideas but moves towards Parabrahman from where it has
come. In descending Satya yuga the man
moving gradually away from Parabrahman begins.
Covering the mistake:
In descending
Dwaparayuga the gradually moves away from Ideas.
The so called learned
in Raja Parikshit’s time, made this 2400years’ descending Dwaparayuga by
multiplying it with 360. This comes to
8,64,000years. By this 2400 years is extended by wrongly calculating it. They cleverly covered it by saying that our
360 days are equal to one day of Brahma.
1200, 2400, 3600, and 4800 years of original years of yugas are
described as Years of Brahma. So see the following calculations of yugas made
by these so called learned people of Raja Parikshit.
Kaliyuga= 1200Brahma
yearsx360days= 4,32,000years on Earth,
Dwaparayuga= 2400Brahma
yearsx360days= 8,64,000years on Earth,
Tretayuga= 3600Brahma
yearsx360days= 12,96,000years on Earth,
Satyayuga= 4800Brahma
yearsx360days= 17,28,000years on Earth.

He Arjun, in whom all
these beings are taking shelter, with Whom the whole Cosmos is reached. That
Parabrahman can be attained by incessant dedication only and nothing else.
Mahattatwam:
When the primordial
nature, or Ignorance, or Kaaranasareera
remains, it is called dissolution., Pralaya. With the grace of SadGuru,
and Kriya yoga sadhana, the sadhak will get pure wisdom. His karanasareera also
gets destroyed and then the sadhak will be united with Parabrahman. This is
called Janmaraahitya or birthless state.
As long as
Karanasareera exists, One has to take rebirth. Matter is indestructible, the
particles in the matter takes displacements.
Matter takes metamorphosis and in subtle form merges into Parabrahman
between one Kalpam and another Kalpam and
exists in unmanifested form. Kalpam
consists of several yugas. When the Cosmos is manifested again it will appear
in different forms which is not different from Parabrahman. But to appear the
manifested one is different from Parabrahman is called Creation.
The whole creation is
getting filled with Brahman is called Brahma vaivartam, the diversity of
Brahman. This Parabrahman only is existing in all movable and immovable things
of the Cosmos. IT is called “Self’’ in living beings.
This Physical body, the
outer cover, is formed to experience the results of actions (Karma), and
physical desires.
The Cosmic
consciousness required for physical body provided through subtle body. The
Cosmic consciousness enters from Antahkarana of Subtle body into Physical
Antahkarana and then into Physical
body. This is how this inert physical
body of flesh and blood functions with the aid of Cosmic consciousness.
The results of actions
pertain to several births has to be experienced by the subtle body for which
this physical body is the media.
The Cosmic
consciousness enters from organ less Karanasareera (Idea body) or Brahmanadi.
Into subtle body. From there it enters into Subtle Antahkarana and from there
into the subtle body to activate it. Kartritwa(actions) and Bhoktritwa
(experiencing) traits are the Dharma of Subtle Antahkarana. This only experiences happiness or
unhappiness.
The inert body is
Vyashti Shrishti, micro Creation. The inert Cosmos is Samishti Shrishti, macro
Creation. This is called Maaya which is an integral part of Parabrahman. If
Paramaatma is having four legs, then one leg is this Maaya. This Maaya is
manifested as Creation. The rest of three legs of Parabrahman is beyond this
Maaya. The Cosmic conscious of the remaining three legs enters into this
micro/macro Creation and activates that inert one.
The micro Creation is
called Vyashtaatma or Pratyagaatma, individual Soul. Dream comes in the head of
a man. The rest of the three parts of the body are beyond the dream.
It is ignorance to
trust dream as real. Ignorance is subjugated to three Gunas. Because of this
ignorance the real Brahman appears to be unreal.
The Krishna paksha
leads to rebirth.
Agni means Kundalinee
life force. Sadhak has to achieve the control of life force. The sadhak who
achieved this control of life force, his course of travel will be light or
Cosmic consciousness t.e., he will travel towards Sahasrarachakra. This way or
path is called Sukla (white) Yaanam (travel).
Here day means the third eye the sadhak beholds in his Kootastha.
Six months Uttaraayan means the six
chakras, Moolaadhaara, Swadhistaana, Manipura, Anaahata, Visuddha, and Agna
Chakras. North (Uttara) is Sahasraara chakra. In these the sadhak will
experience six different types of experiences.
This way, the life
force and consciousness of Sadhak will travel towards North. It will cross
three spinal cords, Sushumna, Vajra, and Chitri. Finally it will cross the most
subtle spinal cord, Brahmanadi in Karanasareera, gets united with God, the
Parabrahman. He will get rid of circuit of mundane existence.
In ordinary people, the
life and consciousness will travel downwards i.e., dark path, Krishnaayaana
maarg.
Smoke means Ignorance,
night means the state of ignorance, six months Dakshinaayanam means the life
force and consciousness travels down from Aagnaa, Visuddha, Anaahata, Manipura,
Swaadhistaana, and Moolaadhaara chakraas. So travelling the cosmic
consciousness degraded into utter human consciousness and entangles in this
circuit of mundane existence firmly without any moor. Moolaadhaara chakra is South.
When jeeva
transmigrates from one body into another body, he will carry his subtle body
alongwith Ignorant Kaaranasareera (Ideabody), desires, actions (Karma), and
pancha mahatatwas (Five electricities).
The Ideabody will have
top secret invisible chip called Chitragupta chittaa. It contains all data
about the Jeeva.
Jeeva means the impure soul containing the
above said traits.
Jeeva will travel
through ether, Air, smoke, the rainy clouds. Then through grains he becomes
food and enters the man who consumes that food. That form is called
Annaswaroopa.
From that body of man
who has taken the food, he will enter into vagina of lady with whom this man
has cohabited as Shukla, sperm. There he
will combine with Sonitam, ovum, of Lady.
The subtle body, the
subtle portions of tainted panchabhootatatwaas, the results of good and bad
actions, desires in the form traits, Jeeva with three Gunaas are cotravellers
till one gets liberated.
There are eleven
outlets in our body.
Brahmarandhra—1,
nostril outlets—2, eye outlets/holes—2, ear holes—2, Mouth—one hole,
Phallus—one hole, anus—one hole, navel—one hole.
Sanaka = the first and
foremost
Sananda = the one with
happiness
Sanaatana = eternal
Sanatkumaara = ever
youthful.
Manus are fourteen.
They are:
Swayambhuva,
Swaarochisha, Aouttami, Tamasa, Raivata, Chakshusa, Vaivaswata, Saavarni,
Daksha saavarni, Brahma Saavarni, Dharma Saavarni, Rudra Saavarni, Rauchya or
Deva saavarni, Bhautya or Indra saavarni.
Presently the Vaivaswanta
Manvantaram, the time period of seventh Manu Vaivaswata is running.
Vaivaswata =
effulgence, Manu = mind.
MAHESWARASOOTRAANI:
Ayiun riluk e oy ai och
hayavaraat lan nyamannanam jabhagadadas khaphacha tta dav kapay
With these sounds vowels
(Achchus) and consonants (Hallus) and compounds of vowels and consonants are
formed.
Rudras eleven in
number. They are:
Hara, Bahuroopa,
Trayambaka, Aparaajita, Vrishaakapi, Sambhu, Kaparthi, Raivata, Mrigavyaadha,
Soorya, and Kapaali.
Mind, five sense
organs, and five Karmendriyas together are called Ekaadasa Rudras. Sankara is nothing but mind, the king of
senses.
Ashtavasus are eight in
number. They are:
1) Dhara, (2)Dhruva,
(3) Soma, (4) Ahu, (5) Anila, (6) Anala, (7) Pratyoosha, and (8) Prabhaasa.
Kriyayoga:
Physical body will have
24 tatwas.
Mano (wavering
mind), Buddhi (determined intellect),
Chitta (feelings), and Ahamkaar (ego)—4,
Five pranas, five sense
organs, and pancha karmendriyas, total 19 tatwas, together constitutes subtle
body.
Subtle body, sookshma
sareera, consists of 24 tatwas.
Karanasareera , Idea
body, consists of 24+19 = 43 Tatwas.
Death will not give
salvation to impure soul, Jeevaatma. After death, the jeeva with subtle and
idea bodies will travel in astral field. With the practice of Kriya yoga, both
subtle and Idea bodies also will be liberated. For this some time is required.
40,000 proteens are
required for daily routine work. Kriya
yoga aids in increasing these proteens by which disease, and oldage will be
kept at bay.
The coordination
between different organs like lever, lungs,Heart etc and life cells decreases
gradually with age. This leads to diseases. Only through Kriyayoga practice
this coordination is possible.
Hydrogen Bomb is made
on the principle of Fusion(baahya kumbhak).
The diseased cells can be made healthy through fusion. In fusion the life cells can be left without
and energy is created.
Atom Bomb is made on
the principle of Fission (Antah kumbhak).
The diseased cells can be made healthy through Fission. In Fission the life cells can be concentrated
within in Kootastha (Aagnachakra) and energy is
created.
Ida subtle nadi is
Ganga, Pingala subtle nadi is Zamuna, and Sushumna subtle nadi is Saraswati.
The confluence pf these three subtle nadis in Kootastha is Triveni sangamam.
The awakened is made to
reach Sahasraara through Sushumna is called Samadhi.
Kriyayoga is a physical
and mental process.
In this yoga the carbon
in the blood is removed. It will invigorate with oxygen.
The life cells in the
cerebrum will become positive North pole, and the cells in the rest of the body
will become negative South pole.
Sadhak will inhale life
force fully upto Aagna Positive Chakra in Kootastha, then exhale it fully upto
Moolaadhaara and by this he produces Electro magnetic force. This decreases the
decay of life cells. Heart and cranial nerves will get rest and energy.
There are six chakras
in the spinal cord. They are:
Moolaadhaara, Swadhishtaana, Manipura, Anaahata, Visuddha, and Agna in
Kootastha. The 12 Rashis exist at the rate of 2 rashis per chakra. The Rashis exist on either side of each
chakra. Kriyayogi will pull his life force from Moolaadhaara up upto Kootastha
(Aagna positive) and from Kootastha down upto Moolaadhaara chakra. One kriya
burns one year of Karma. This way he
does one Kriya. Doing Kriyas this way, the Kriyayogi beholds the Aatma Surya
(Soul sun) rotating the life force in these 12 Rashis.
Sun travels at the rate
of one month per one Rashi. Sun takes one year to make one rotation around 12
Rashis. Elapsing of one year is equal to
experiencing one year of Prarabdha Karma.
To burn our Sanchita
Karma, past karma, 10lakhs years’ of healthy life is required. The kriyayogi can burn this Karma by doing
1000kriyas per day for three years. this
way he can get the development of 10lakhs years in one life span itself.
In a systematic way of doing Kriyas regularly,
one can burn the Karma of 10lakhs’ years and gets development in 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42,and 48 years. In
case of not getting consummate development in one birth, the Kriyayogi will
carry the results of his Kriyayoga alongwith him to the next birth.
The life of a Kriyayogi
is not influenced by his past karmas. He will be guided by his soul
intuition.
Kriyayoga is to be done
in complete solitude and with limited food.
Kriyayoga consists of
Hathayoga, energisation exercises, layayoga, SoHam and OM techniques, Karmayoga
(service), Mantrayoga including chanting Beejakshar (Root word) chanting in
Chakras, Raajayoga consisting of techniques of Praanaayaama.
The kootastha (Aagna +)
is North pole. Moolaadhaarachakra is South Pole. The kriyayogi makes the spinal
cord into a electro magnet by rotating the life force from South pole to North
pole, and from North pole to South
pole. By doing so, the currents from Moolaadhaara
to Visuddha chakra are brought to Sahasrara underneath the Brahmarandhra
through the Sushumna of Spinal Cord.
This gives the Kriyayogi immeasurable pleasure. If the Kriyayoga is done with some
appropriate Hand Mudras, then the Merudanda, spinal cord, will be further
energized.
Life force is having
both intelligence and energy. Oxygen is having energy only.
The Sareera (body) can
become ossified, the Deham (Body) can be
subjected to burning, and the Kalebaram (Body) can become rotten. The Kriyayogi
will overcome all these predicaments of the body.
Food and Mind

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
Aakasa:
Parabrahman;
Vaayu or Air:
Mind;
Agni: Buddhi or
intellect;
Jalam or water: Chittam
or feelings;
Prithvee or Earth:
Ahamkaar or ego.
So mind is the
culmination of food.

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.
1) the one who
encourages violence of killing animals, eggs, and lambs etc., which are having
shukla (sperm) and Sonita (ovum) for food, (2) the one who preaches meat eating
is superior, (3) the butcher, (4) seller, (5) the buyer of meat, (6) cook, (7)
supplier, and (8) eater, are all called Ghaatukaas.
Man is having 33
vertebre in his spinal cord. He possesses 32feet of intestines, and 32 teeth in
his mouth.
It will take 24 hours
for the man to digest his vegetarian food. At least he must grind the food 8
times with his teeth before swallowing his food.
Animal possesses 11
vertebre, 10 feet of intestines, and 10 teeth.
That means the animal contains everything 1/3 rd of what man contains.
That is why it musticates the food through out the day for digestion.
If man takes this
animal meat, it will take 72 hours to digest it. While butchering the animal,
it will have fear, leaves dung with fear and anger. It feels that the butcher
also should have same fate. Even the teeth of man are also not suitable to eat
meat. So one should give up meat eating immediately.
If the branches of a
tree is cut then again the same types of leaves and fruits will come, the
leaves and fruits of other tree will not come.
In Vedas the
Parabrahman is spoken of as very very kindhearted. Ahimsa paramo dharmah i.e.,
Non violence is the greatest Dharma is the essence of scriptures. Parabrahman
has taken different incarnations to protect the people of virtue from the
demons. How such Paramaatmaa can
encourage meat eating. It is not the
dumb driven animals that are to be
butchered in Yagnas, but the Arishadvargaas viz., Kaama (desires), krodha
(anger), lobha (greediness), moha
(delusion), mada (pride), and maatsarya (jealousy).

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.
So for ecstatic union
with God, it is highly deplorable to butcher dumb animals.
Saktipaatam:
To bestow ecstatic
union with God is called Saktipaatam.
This is possible to
Great Masters like Baabaaji, Laahiree Mahaasaya, Sri Yukteswar Swaami, and Sri
Sri Paramahamsa Yoganada samiji etc.
Sat is God beyond
Creation. Its location is Sahasraarachakra.
Tat is the
vibrationless God in Creation. Its location is Kootastha. It is called Paraasakti.
Om is vibrational God
in creation. It is called Adisakti. He
is direct cause of Creation.
Idea, Subtle, and
Physical micro and Macro creations of this body and Cosmos have been manifested
because of OM vibrations.
Om is the Sound and
Name of Parabrahman. This Pranava Sound will remove all faults/sins of the
sadhak. The real achievement of sadhak
is to hear the OM sound within during sadhana. Om cannot be heard by the sadhak
till the body attachment exists.
Chakradhyaana:
Sit erect in Vajrasana,
Padmasana or Sukhaasana with Gnaana Mudra. Face East or North. Get relaxed. Keep the neck and spinal cord straight. Fix the gaze in
Kootastha. Sit in a chair. The feet
should be kept such as to touch the ground. There should be insulation between
the ground and the feet. It is advisable to sit with socks.
Sit in superconscious
level bending the neck back. Now do kriyayoga from Mooladhaarachakra to
Sahasrarachakra, and from Sahasrara to Moolaadhaara, learnt from a sadguru or
from a Sadhak well proficient in Kriyayoga.
One breath in + one
breath out = one Hamsa.
Ordinarily normal
healthy man does 21,600 Hamsas per day. This amounts to 15 Hamsas per minute.
If a person does 15
Hamsas per minute, then he is said to be Bhogi.
If a person does less
than 15 Hamsas per minute, then he is said to be Yogi.
If a person does more
than 15 Hamsas per minute, then he is said to be Rogi, patient.
Tortoise does very few
Hamsas per day and hence it lives more than 1000 years if it is not killed by
somebody.
Sadhak also will
increase his healthy life span by doing Pranayama with control of life
force. He will gradually get united
withBrahman.
The chakras in the
spinal cord are like Junction boxes. The Cosmic consciousness enters
Sahasrachakra through Medulla. From there it enters Aagna, Visuddha, Anaahata,
Manipura, Swadhistaana, and Moolaadhaara chakra. From these Junction boxes, the cosmic
consciousness enters into nerve centres, nerves, and organs, in required
magnitude.
The sleeping Kundalinee
power will have its hood nearer to Moolaadhaarachakra and its tail up in the
higher chakras. The sadhak will awaken
the sleeping Kundalinee power underneath the Moolaadhaarachakra. His advancement
in sadhana is proportional to the kundalinee touching the chakras.
This Kundalinee force
is called Draupadi in Mahabhaarata, Sita in Ramayana, and Padmavati in Sri
Balaji Venkateswara Swami charitra.
This awakened
kundalinee power crossing Moolaadhara, Swaadhishtaana, Manipura, Anaahata, and
Visuddha, is what is called Draupadi marrying Five persons.
Aasanas (Postures)
These will remove the
contamitants from the nerve centre filled with toxins and purify them. Scavenging the nerve centres, the life force
will not get blocked and hence flow freely. This will invigorates the body and
hence the sadhak will become active.
This body is useful to the Sadhana.
In sadhana two things
are to be remembered:
1)To do meditation at
least at the rate of one minute per one year. If the sadhak is 62 years old, he
must do at least 62 minutes meditation.
Mudraas will enable the life force that is
flowing in our chakras to flow into Physical nerves and make the body healthy.
They will keep the balance of body, mind & Soul. One ounce of practice is
better than one tonne of theory. So every human being must make use of human
life by practicing yoga meditation.
KHECHARI: Fixing the gaze on the Kootastha,
by closing or opening the eyes, putting the tongue in the gullet & then
doing pranayama taught by Satguru.
BHOOCHARI: With half closed eyes fixing the
gaze on the nose.
MADHYAMA: Fixing the gaze on Kootastha and
then seeing the horizon while doing pranayama.
SHANMUKHI: Nostrils, both eyes, ears &
mouth are to be closed. Then to retain life force in Kootastha and do internal

Ramayanam in brief
Dasarath is the king of
Ayodhya!He had three wives—Kausalya, Sumitra, and Kaikeyi. He with his three
wives performed Putrakameshti Yagna(sacrifice). Due to this fire ceremony First
wife is blessed with Sree Rama(1), second wife Sumitra is blessed with
Lakshmana(3) & Shatrughna(4), and third wife Kaikeyi is blessed with
Bharata(2).
Advised by his Guru,
Dasarath sends Shree Ram and Lakshman for the protection of Yagna that is being
performed by sage Viswamitra. ShreeRam kills the demon Tataki on the way. The
sage was very happy with this. He gifts Astras & Sastras to Shree Ram &
Lakshman. Shree Ram kills the demons Subahu& Maareecha who came to destroy
the Yagna of sage. The sage Viswamitra takes ShreeRam & Lakshman alongwith
him to Mithilanagar for Sita swayamvaram after the completion of Yagna.
Swayamvaram means choosing one’s own husband amongst so many suitors. On the
way Shree Ram touches a stone with his feet by which it becomes a woman viz.,
Ahalya. This way he rescues her from the curse given by her husband Sage
Gautama. In Sita swayamvar Ravana, the king of Sri Lanka, could not
fulfil the pre condition of breaking the Siva Dhanush, the bow of Lord Siva. He
gets insulted and goes back to his Kingdom SriLanka. Shree Ram fulfils the pre
condition of breaking the bow. Consequent to this Shree Ram marries Sita,
Bharata marries Maandavi, Lakshmana marries Urmila, and Satrughna marries
Shrutakeerti. He breaks the Vishnu
Dhanush as desired by Parasuramji. Shree Ramji reaches Ayodhya along with His
Father Dasarath, mothers & Brothers along with their respective wives.
Dasarath wanted to hand
over the kingdom to his son ShreeRam. He will fix the time & date in
consultation with his Guru Sri Vashist Maharshi. Dasarath has promised two
boons to his third wife Kaikeyi in the
long past. His wife Kaikeyi instigated by his servant maid Manthara demands to
fulfil the two boons right now. Dasaratha fulfils his two vows viz., 1) Sending
Ram to Aranyavas(Jungle) for 14 Years and 2) To hand over the reins of Kingdom
to Bharata.
Sri Ram sets out for
Aranyavas(Jungle). Sita also follows SriRam saying that wherever her husband
stays that is her Ayodhya. Lakshmana also follows Sri Ram saying that I will do
servitude to my elder brother. Lakshmana leaves behind his Urmila for the
service of His Father and mothers. At the time of leaving for jungles Bharata
and Satrughna were not present in Ayodhya. Unable to tolerate the separation from Sri Ram
Dasaratha leaves the physical body.
Guha the boatman will help Sri Ram Lakshman and
Sita to cross the Sarayoo river in his boat saying that that is his great
fortune to help them. They reach the hermitage/Asramam of Sri Bharadwaaj
Maharshi/hermit. From there they go to
Chitrakoota area to visit the great Valmiki Maharshi/hermit. They make a small
Parnasala/hermitage in Chitrakoot and start living there with peace &
tranquility.
Bharat will come to know about these affairs after
returning from the house of his uncle. He gets perturbed and admonishes his mother Kaikeyi. He sets out to
bring Sri Ram back to Ayodhya. He requests him to take over the reins of
kingdom of Ayodhya pardoning the fault of his mother. Sri Ram will not agree
saying that it is the bounden duty of the off springs to fulfill the vows of
their parents. Sri Ram will give his Paadukas/wooden shoes on persistent
requests of Bharat. Bharat views them as a representative of Sri Ram. He tells
Sri Ram to come and take over the Ayodhya Kingdom after the completion of 14
years. Even a minute delay in His return will cost his(Bharat’s) life. Making
this vow Bharata establishes these Paadukas/wooden shoes in Nandigram and start
ruling Ayodhya treating them as the representative Of Sri Ram.
After some time Sri Ram Lakshman and Sita set out
from Chitrakoot. They visit the hermitage of Sri Atri Maharshi. From there they
visit the hermitage of Sri Suteekshna Maharshi. From there they start for the
hermitage of Sri Agastya Maharshi. On the way
they kill demon Viradha. Sage Agastya bestows them with Bow Arrows and
Sword. From they reach
Panchavati. There they will construct a hermitage Parnasala and start living
peacefully there. They befriend with the bird Jatayu. That bird will be helping
them as per their requirements.
After some time
Soorpanakha the demon comes to Panchavati area. She becomes attracted to Sri
Ram. She wanted to cohabit with Sri Ram due to lust. Refused by Sri Ram she
begs Lakshman to fulfil her lustful desire. Annoyed by this Lakshman cuts the
nose and ears of Soorpanakha. Enraged
with insult she narrates this to her brothers Khara and Dooshana. They
along with 1400 other demons try to kill Sri Ram and Lakshman. In turn they themselves get killed by Sri Ram
and Lakshman. Hearing the demise of Khara and Dooshana and insult meted out to
Soorpanakha, enraged Ravan sends the demon Maareeecha to deceive Sri Ram to
take him away from his hermit. The demon Maareeecha takes the form of Golden
deer to attract the attention of Sita. Seeing the Golden deer Sita requests Sr
Ram to fetch that somehow or other. Keeping Lakshman to protect Sita from evil
forces, Sri Ram goes in in search of that deer.
Maareecha takes Sri Ram away from the hermitage distracting his
attention. Sri Ram kills the demon with his arrow. Maareecha dies moaning ‘Oh Sita Oh
Sita’. Lakshman tells Sita that it was
some demon imitating the voice of Sr Ram. It was the plan of that demon. In
spite of that Sita compels Lakshman to
search and help Sri Ram thinking that it was the distress call of Sri Ram. Lakshman draws a circle ‘LAKSHMANA REKHA’
around that hut and goes in search of Sri Ram. Meanwhile Ravan comes in the
guise of a Sadhu(Hermit) and asks for alms. He compels Sita to cross that ‘LAKSHMANA REKHA’ to give alms. Then he
carries away Sita in a Jumbo Jet(Pushpaka
Viman) to his Lanka kingdom. Jatayu the
friend bird tries to save Sita. Ravan cuts the wings of that bird and
flies her away to Sri Lanka. Sita throws down a bundle of jewels near Kishkinda
on the way. Sri Ram returns to his hermitage. Lakshman narrates the things to
him. Both will start searching for Sita.
On the way they find crestfallen Jatayu. From him they understand that Ravan
has flown her to Sri Lanka. On the way Sr Ram kills the demon Kabandha. He was a cursed Angel covered in the body of the demon. His curse is
removed now. He tells Sri Ram to take the help of Sugreeva, king of monkeys, to
search Sita. On the way they meet
Sabari, the great devotee of Sri Ram. After spending some tine with her
they reach Rishyamooka Parvat(mountain). There they will befriend with Hanumanji
and Sugreev. Hanumanji shows the jewels thrown by Sita to Sri Ram. He
recognizes them.
Tara, the wife of
Sugreev was kept by his brother Vali by
force. Vali was tormenting Sugreeva. Sri Ram kills Vali. As a gratitude to this
Sugreev keeps all his force at the command
of Sri Ram to search Sita. Ordered by
Sugreeva monkeys go in all directions to search Sita. Sugreev sends Hanumanji
and his son Angad in the direction of South. They reach the bank of Ocean.
There they meet Sampaati, the brother of Jataayu. From him they come to know
the whereabouts of Sita on the other side of that ocean. Jambavanta start
praising the courage of Hanumanji. He
crosses that ocean very easily. He was confronted by the she demon Lankini, the protectress of Sri
Lanka. He goes ahead by killing her. He
finds Sita in the Asoka garden wailing underneath a Asoka tree.
Hanumanji gives her the Golden ring brought from Sri Ram so as to make
her believe that he was sent by Him. He tells her to be courageous as Sri Ram
will come soon and saves her. She takes a choodaamani, a jewel, for Sri Ram as
a testimony.
Hanumanji kills all the demons who come in front of
him and destroys that Asoka garden.
Indrajit binds him with Brahmaastra and takes him to Ravana. Vibheeshan,
the younger brother of Ravan, dissuades him from killing Hanumanjee saying that
one should not kill the representative of the opponent. The demons will put fire to the tail of
Hanumanji. Hanumanji in turn burns the Lanka and then put off the fire by
drenching it into the ocean. Then he will reach Sri Ram and narrates the
welfare of Sita and presents the Choodaamani given by Sita.
Vibheeshan counsels Ravan to return Sita to Sri
Ram. Enraged by this Ravan excommunicates him.
Sri Ram agrees to take Vibheeshan in his side. In the supervision of
Nala, monkey Engineer, the monkeys construct a bridge on the ocean. Sri Ram
sends Angad, son of Sugreeva, as an ambassador to negotiate with Ravan for the
release of Sita. Ravan will not agree. Then the war breaks out. So many monkey
leaders and demon leaders lose their lives. Lakshmana kills Viroopaaksha. Sri
Rama kills Agniketu, Rasmiketu, Suptaghna, yagnakopa, Dhoomraaksha,
Vajradanshtra, Akampana, Prahasta, Kumbhakarna, Devaantaka, Naraantaka,
Atikaaya, Mahodara, Trisira, Mahaapaarsa.
Enraged with this Indrajit, son of Ravan, makes
Laksman unconscious with his arrows. With the advice of Jaambavanta Hanumanji
brings Sanjeevani parvat from the range of Himalayas. Smelling the divine herbs
in Sanjeevani Parvat Lakshman becomes conscious. Hanumanji keeps the Sanjeevani
Parvat back in the range of Himalayas.
After that Kumbha and Nikumbha yoopaaksha sonitaaksha Prajangha Kampana
Makaraaksha sons of Kumbhakarna lose their lives. Then Indrajit also gets
killed by Lakshmana. Angada kills Mahaapaarsa. Sugreeva kills Viroopaaksha
Mahodara and Ubhaayu. In the end Sri Ram
puts his arrow into the abdomen of Ravana and kills him. Sri Ram makes
Vibheeshana as the king Sri Lanka. Sita enters into pit of fire and comes out
unscathed proving her chastity. Sri Ramji returns to Ayodhya. Seing Sri Ram
Bharata gets unlimited happiness. He hands over Ayodhya to Sri Ram and retires
to serve Sri Ram.
Adhyaatmika Ramayanam in brief:
Mala vikshepana
Avarana Doshas:
Mala, Vikshepana
Due to
tamoguna (negative) quality, Causal body will have mala and
Vikshepana Doshas
Due
to rajoguna (neutral) quality, causal body will have avarana
dosha.
Dosha means faux pas
or fault.
Tamoguna
Doshaas
Mala means
soiled. This fault comes due to ego. This can be removed by practicing Nishkama karma
yoga. That is doing our duties without expecting the result.
Avarana
dosha means the true configuration is camouflaged and shown as a different
configuration. Here the soul is made to appear as a limited one due to
the effect of tamoguna.
Rajoguna
Doshas:
Due
to vikshepana dosha of rajoguna in Maya the whole Creation
is subjected to
1) Arishadvargaas –kama (desire), krodha (anger), lobha (Greediness), moha (delusion), mada (Pride)
and maatsarya (envy).
2) Attachment (raga), Repulsion (dwesha), happiness
(sukh) and misery (dukh).
3) Selfishness, love affection, kindness, pleasure,
Satisfaction, dissatisfaction etc.
Due to
these mala, vikshepana, and avarana
doshaas, the Causal body
will have:
1)
Attachment
to body (dehavasana), kartritvam (I am
doing),Bhoktritvam (I am to
enjoy), eeshana trayam i.e.,
dhaneshana (attachment to material
pleasure like owning land, money and vehicles etc;
daareshana (this is my wife, I
should Satisfy her at the cost of others),
and putreshana (attachment to
his progeny or offspring) and interest in fame,
2)
Attachment
to reading of books and writing of books
(shastra vaasana),
3) Attachment to
his environmental living (loka vaasana).
Due to the
above, one will have
Ignorance
(avidya), Asmita (fear or ego), Attachment (raga), repulsion
(dwesha), and abhinivesa. Body bound
inclination, and fear of death, both are called abhinivesa. These
five things are called five miseries or pancha kleshaas.
Avarana means hiding power,
vikshepana means expanding power. Baalyam (Infancy) means undeveloped
sudra state. Yavvanam (Youth) means developing Vaisyaa state.
Kaumaram (middle age) means capable of ruling kshatriya state. Vaardhakyam (Old
age) means wisdom experienced of Brahman state. With
the gained wisdom one understands the emptiness of this physical world and
hence tries for reunion of Atman with Brahman.
Due to the influence of
Tamoguna Karanashareera (Causal body) will have Mala and Avarana Doshas.
Because of Rajoguna Karanashareera (Causal body) will have vikshepana Dosha.
When a Lantern chimney is
painted by Black smoke then the burning wick cannot be visible. Likewise due to
Maladosha the Paramatma within us becomes invisible.
We will mistake the rope as
Snake due to superimposition of darkness. So Avarana dosha or fault
occurs due to Tamoguna ignorance of unsteady mind.
Love and hatred,
selfishness, love, affection, kindness, Happiness, Contentment,
dissatisfaction, Kama, krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada and Matsarya etc are the
vikshepana doshas. This is due to ego.
Due to Mala, Avarana and
Vikshepana doshas the Karana shareera will have 1) body attachment i.e.,
kartritwa doshas, 2) attachment towards Finance, Offspring, and spouse, fame
mongerism, 3) interest in Sastras, and 4) worldly attachment. Because of
this man will have Asmita, Ragadwesha and Abhinivesa.
Asmita means Ego,
Ragadwesaha means attraction and repulsion, Abhinivesha means attachment to his
body.
Sadhak, the Meditator
confronts three steps during his Sadhana. They are 1)Adibhautika, Physical, 2)
Adidaivika, Subtle, and 3) Adhyatmika, Spiritual.
1)Adibhautika, Physical:
—Bodily pains etc.,
2)Adidaivika, Subtle: —
Mind related problems like thoughts, sub thoughts etc.,
3) Adhyatmika, Spiritual: —
Sadhana related problems like Sleep, lazyness etc.
These are
called Mala, Aavarana and Vikshepana Doshas, faults.
Sadhak, Kriyayogi, seeing
unity with Parabrahman, shall be cautious about these things. To make mind
steady one has to annihilate these three faulty steps.
Mooladhara,
Swadhistaana and Manipura Chakras are called Mundane Chakras. This field is
called Kurukshetra. Man/Sadhak confined to this field does not do any good,
spitual Sadhana and always self centered. This field is also called Brahma
Granthi, a knot.
Manipura,
Anahata, and Visuddha Chakras are called admixture of Mundane and Spiritual
Chakras. This field is called Kurukshetra—Dharmakshetra. Sadhak confined to
this field does have mixed mundane and
spiritual feelings. Even though self centred he does think about spiritual
Sadhana. This field is also called Rudra
Granthi, a second knot.
Visuddha,
Agna negative & Positive and Sahasrara Chakras are called Spiritual or
Divine Chakras. This field is called Dharmakshetra. Sadhak confined to this
field does only good, Spiritual Sadhana and always God centered. This field is
also called Vishnu Granthi, a third and last
knot.
Gautama--Ahalya:
Ahalya
was the wife of the Great sage (Rishi) Gautama, who is one amongst the
Saptarishis. He is the author of Nyaya sastra, one of the six upangaas of
Vedas. Gautama was preaching pure Gnaana/Spiritual knowledge to Ahalya. At the
time of preaching the mind of Ahalya was not steady. Her mind was turned
towards worldly affairs. The reason for this disturbed mind was
Indriyas/senses. The king of senses was Indra the mind. Finding her
unsteady/not attentive she has been warned by Gautama ‘na’ ‘halya’ i.e.,
not to move, be steady like a stone. That is the story of Gautama cursing
Ahalya. He also told his wife Ahalya to be in this state for a long time
and do intensive KRIYAYOGA DHYANA. Spiritual knowledge can be gained only
through intensive and long Kriyayoga dhyana with a one pointed steady
mind. Unsteady mind can not grasp pure knowledge. Steadying the mind is Dhyana.
In that state Ram i.e., the Cosmic energy will reach Mooladhara chakra and
awaken the Kundalinee which was in sleeping state till that time. That is the
psalm of life. The one who does not do meditation at all is equal to the animal
with animal tendencies. Do the normal daily work. Then do sadhana also along
with it. Enter the kingdom of God. Then continue the sadhana with intensity for
a long time with steady and one pointed mind without neglecting your day to day
Karma. Be one with God the almighty.
KUNDALINI: This kundalini is
nothing but 3 ½ turns coiled serpent like sleeping outgoing life force in the
anus with its hood or head beneath the
Mooladhara chakra or Coccy geal plexus and tail will be in the higher chakras.
Adhyaatma
Ramayanam
Remember
that Bharat is the sadhak. All other characters are in him only. All other
characters are traits in the sadhak.
Ayodhya
means salvation. Dasarath is its king Parabrahma. He had three wives. Kausalya—Wisdom power (Gnaanashakti),
Sumitra—Action power (Kriyashakti), and Kaikeyi—will power (Ichchaashakti).
Positive wisdom or pure intellect (Satwika buddhi)—Sri Ram, is the son of
Kausalya—Wisdom power (Gnaanashakti). I trait (Ahamtatwa)— Lakshman,
Detatchment (Vairagya tatwa)—Satrughna, are the sons of Sumitra—Action power
(Kriyashakti). Salvation inclined Sadhak (Mokshechcha)— Bharat, is the son of
Kaikeyi—will power (Ichchaashakti).
Bharat,
the son of Kaikeyi—will power (Ichchaashakti), is the Sadhak.
Hence
forth Bharat will be referred as Kriyayoga Sadhak. Sage
Vassisht is the first Kriyayoga Guru. So the Positive wisdom (Satwika buddhi)
i.e., Sri Ram and Ahamtatwa Lakshman are required to be handed over to another
Kriya yoga Guru Sage/hermit Viswamitra Maharshi for further training. That is
the inherent meaning of sending Positive wisdom (Satwika buddhi) i.e., Sri Ram
along with Sri Viswamitra to protect his Yagna. Yagna means by knowing which
one gets liberated.
Here
sadhak starts removing negative forces by killing Demon Taatak in him. The Positive wisdom (Satwika
buddhi) is being trained to become absolutely pure. So Avarana dosha
surrounding the mind is being removed. Moolaadhara chakra is awakened. Mala
vikshepana and Avarana doshas (faults) are required to be removed for merging
with God the father. In this process Demon Maareecha (Vikshepana dosha) and
Demon subaahu (Mala dosha) are to be removed with Suddhabuddhi. Moolaadhar
represents will power (Ichchaashakti), Swaadhistaana represents action power
(kriyaashakti) and Manipura represents wisdom power (Gnaanashakti).
Now Guru Vishwamitra takes Positive
wisdom (Satwika buddhi) to Mithila i.e., solitude as Positive wisdom (Satwika buddhi)
requires some more training of further awakening Kundalinee power i.e.,
Sita. On the way he bestows to Ahalya
from the deliverance of a curse. Ravan,
the king of desires, also comes for the kundalinee awakening but abruptly
discontinues and returns to Sri Lanka, the circuit of mundane existence
(Samsaar), due to impatience. Desires always dissuades the Kriyayoga sadhak
from meditation and makes him to go back to Samsaar.
The Positive
wisdom (Satwika buddhi) of Saadhak wanted to become
absolutely pure. It will try to tame the Kundalini, the daughter of Janaka.
Janaka represents peace & tranquillity. Tamed kundalini will present peace
& tranquillity.
The
breaking of Sivadhanush(the bow of Lord Siva) represents the firm determination
of the Positive wisdom (Satwika buddhi) of Sadhak to
awaken Kundalini further. So Positive
wisdom (Satwika buddhi) marries Sita, the Kundalini power. Kundalini power is
individualized MAYA (Micro cosm). Vivaha means Marriage in Sanskrit.
Vi=Vishista Vaaha= vehicle. In nutshell Vivaha means the great vehicle i.e.,
KRIYAYOGA SADHANA. So through intensified Kriyayoga Sadhana the sadhak wanted
to tame Kundalini. Lakshman marries
Urmila (sleep), Bharat marries Maandavi (Kriyayoga Sadhana), Satrughna marries
Shritakeerti (fame). Naturally the sadhak adopts Kriya yogasadhana so as to
make his Positive wisdom (Satwika buddhi) to tame
Kundalini, the individualized Maya. For this his Lakshman(Aham tatwa) i.e., I
ness should adopt sleep. IF AHAM TATWA IN THE SADHAKA BECOMES PREDOMINANT THEN
IT BECOMES AHAMKARA (EGO). Breaking of bow of Lord Vishnu taken from PARSURAMJI
represents intense Kriya yoga sadhana.
Encouraged by intense Kriya yoga sadhana the Positive
wisdom (Satwika buddhi) of saddhak becomes more purified. Here the sadhak crosses
Rudragandhi or in yoga parlance it is
called Rudragandhi vichchedana.
RAMAKRISHNA
PARAMA HAMSA used to say Suddha buddhi, Suddha manas (Pure mind), and Suddha
Atma (pure soul) are all one and the same.
Crossing
of all three Grandhis (read above note) i.e., Brahma grandhi, Rudra grandhi and
Vishnu Grandhi are quintessential for abtaining Moksha.
With his
advise Paramatma wanted to give salvation/Moksha to the Kriya yoga Sadhak. However he is not
fully ripened to get salvation/Moksha. The sadhak is required to do Kriya yoga
sadhana for 14 years with intensity and longer time. In Tretayuga prevailing at that time, 14
years of intense sadhana is required. Now in this ascending Dwapara yuga 12
years of intense Kriyayoga sadhana and one year of intense sadhana in solitude
is required to merge with the spirit. Provoked by Manthara (the one who bears
the mind) pesters Paramaatma to bestow the two vows promised by him to Positive
wisdom (Satwika buddhi) and Ahamtatwa. They are: 1) 14 years of intense sadhana in solitude (Aranyavas) and
followed by 2) Salvation or
Pattaabhishekam or entering into the kingdom of
God to the Mumukshu/Sadhak The
role of Paramaatma is over. So he
retires. Bharat means Sadhak wanted to do
14 years intense sadhana for the
absolute purification of intellect which will lead to Moksha.
Guh
(Chitta—the sphere of thinking) the boatman helps Positive
wisdom (Satwika buddhi), Ahamtatwa and Kundalinee to
cross river Sarayu (the circuit of
mundane existence—samsaar). Until and unless
the pure intellect becomes absolutely pure, the sadhak cannot attain Moksha. In
this process getting absolute purification the Positive
wisdom (Satwika buddhi) is helped by the positive forces in him namely
Sages Atri, Sarabhanga, Suteekshana and Agastya and the negative forces like
demon Viraadh are also destroyed. Positive wisdom
(Satwika buddhi) intensifies Sadhana by constructing a Parnasala (by
sitting in proper posture) in Panchavati. This body is made of five
Panchabhootas (ether, air, fire, water and earth). So it is called Panchavati.
In spite of doing
sadhana the Maya induces the pure intellect to get seduced. So kaamavaasana
i.e., lustful desires in the form of she demon Surpanakha takes birth. Because
of contemplated intense sadhana the pure intellect as well as I-ness both will
be dissuaded from the lustful desires. Not accepting the defeat easily the
negative forces i.e., lustful
desires will try to confront the pure intellect with a bang. So the two demon
brothers viz.,Khara and Dooshana along with 14000 other negative forces will
try to spoil the Positive wisdom (Satwika buddhi).
All are negated by Positive wisdom (Satwika buddhi).
That is the intention of Sita, Kundalinee or individualized Maya to provoke the
Positive wisdom (Satwika buddhi) to get the
Golden deer. That means when Positive wisdom (Satwika
buddhi), the Kundalinee will be in the control of weakling I-ness
(Lakshman). Being in the control of I-ness now, it sends I-ness to follow the
disturbed Positive wisdom (Satwika buddhi).
Then automatically kundalinee will be encompassed by Ravan, the king of
desires. In that process the morality (Jatayu bird) in him awakens and tries to
dissuade the king of desires but in vain.
The disturbed Positive wisdom (Satwika buddhi) returns to
normality and tries to set right its house. This steady Positive wisdom (Satwika buddhi) leads to meeting Hanuman.
Hanu=to kill, man=mind. Hanuman means
steady mind this leads to meet Sugreeva, the king of Vanaras i.e., monkeys. Su=
auspicious, Greeva= sound. Va=varishta(great), naraas=men. Sugreeva means the
auspicious sound OMKAR. Vanaras means
positive forces. So the Sadhak shall hear the auspicious sound OMKAR due to the
assistance of Positive forces accompanied by fixed mind within him. But so far
the auspicious sound OMKAR is hindered due to Vali i.e., the fear within the
Sadhak. With the fixed mind the fear/Bhayam
Vali in the sadhak is laid to rest. Now the Positive
wisdom (Satwika buddhi) i.e. Ram in the sadhak i.e., Bharat is becoming
absolutely pure due to the continuous uninterrupted sound of OHM within and without.
After hearing the
auspicious Om sound the fixed mind (Hanuman) contacts kundalinee lying
underneath the Moolaadhar chakra. Moolaadhara chakra is on the south and
Sahasraara chakra is on the north side of the Sadhak.
The
fixed mind (Hanuman) informs the Kundalinee underneath the Mooladhara chakra of
the sadhak about the impending coming of Suddhabuddhi i.e., the pure intellect
becoming absolutely pure so as to attain the salvation. Salvation means the
individualized Maya merging with God the Father (Parabrahma).
The Manipura chakra is of red colour with 10
rays. So this is also called RAVANA CHAKRA. Then the kundalinee wanting to become
completely awakened cries for help
calling “RAMA” loudly. Then Rama i.e.Suddhabuddhi understands the trouble through Annahata
chakra. This chakra is also called VAYU CHAKRA since it is the place of air
element. Anjaneya is the son of Vayu. A gland viz., Thymus gland is responsible
for immunization (roga nirodhaka sakti). Through this gland “RAM” understands
the obstruction in Manipura chakra with the help of Anjaneya. This whole
procedure is done through VAGUS nerve. This is known as CHOODAAMANI. This is
the reason that one should do pranayaama, if wanted to be healthy.
Remember
that Maya is part and parcel of God the Father.
The king of desires
will put fire to the tail of Hanumanji
i.e., the fixed mind is to be made unsteady so that the attainment
of becoming one with Parabrahman of
Sadhak can be weakened. The fixed mind puts off the fire i.e., nullify all the
negative forces that are obstructing the noble ideal of Sadhak to become one
with Parabrahman.
Vibheeshan
(Satwagun-positive virtuous quality) counsels the king of desires to hand over
Sita—the kundalinee force—the individualized Maya, to Sri Ramji-Suddhabuddhi
(Pure intellect). That is complete awakening of Kundalinee. Angered by this
i.e. the impatient king of
desires—Ravan completely discards
his
Satwagun and
excommunicates that Satwagun. Suddhabuddhi gives shelter to Satwagun. The
Satwagun will further strengthens the determination of Sadhak to attain Moksha.
Here the AGNACHAKRA is awakened.
Now in the process
of becoming absolutely pure, the pure intellect in the Sadhak will make a
bridge to reach Sahasrarachakra for the attainment of complete and absolute
bliss. This is called Lanka setu/Varadhi.
Then there exists a
final and ferocious conflict between Positive and negative forces within the
Sadhak.
Hanumanji bringing
Sanjeevani for Lakshmanji to bring him
back to consciousness amounts to the absolute fixed mind making Ahamtatwa (I-ness) to become positively
soulful and conscious for the attainment of Moksha. Ahamtatwa (I-ness) getting completely
nullified is the victory of Lakshman over Indrajit. Indra=Senses,
Jit=victorious. The Ahamtatwa (I-ness) destroys the traits of Indriyas/senses
completely and becomes absolutely pure.
There are 72,000 subtle nadis existing in
each and every human being. Three subtle nadis viz., Ida, pingala and sushumna
are very very important for yogi. In the
centre of spinal cord exists sushumna nadi. On left side of it exists Ida nadi.
It is also called Chandra nadi. For
convention sake it is termed as negative. On right side of it exists pingala
nadi. It is also called Surya nadi. For
convention sake it is termed as positive.
The Manipurachakra
near the navel contains 10 rays. Hence it is called RAVANA Chakra. By doing
pranayaama the obstructive force at Manipura (behind navel) is destroyed to
pave the way for free flow of life force from Sahasrara. Man gains his health.
If kundalinee life force is not passed through Sushumna then the Gnanashakti
(the wisdom force) is destroyed. Again and again the man becomes egoistic and
becomes king of desires. That is symbolically shown as Ravan’s heads getting
alive again and again even after they are axed. Rama pierces the stomach of Ravan with
advise of Vibheeshana (Satwaguna) and kills him. This is what is called Sri Rama destroying/
cauterizing/drying the amrita bhandam in the stomach of Ravana. Amrita means
Nectar) and Bhandam means Utensil.
Obstructive forces
are eternal like nectar to a normal man.
Maya (Nature/SitaDevi) for ordinary man does not die. Continuous prolonged &intensive Yoga sadhana is required for Janmaraahitya/ Kriyaparavastha/Moksha/complete liberation. Then only Nature dies for saadhaka. To show that Nature does not die the Seeta Agni pravesa story is intended. Agni pravesa means to burn oneself in fire. Fire brings out Seetaa (prakriti/maya) unscathed. Sita is Ayonija. Ayonija means Sita is not born out of ordinary yoni (vagina). Sita i.e., Maya is fully subservient and under the control of Paramaatma. Only under the control of Paramaatma only Maya works.

Saadhak’s
pure intellect becomes absolutely pure. Now sadhak is completely liberated.
This is called Sri Ram pattaabhishek.
Paarvati:
When the awakened
Kundalini reaches Sahasraara chakra in the
Cerebrum beomes cool. Then the Sadhak is called Himavant. Hima
means cool, vant means the one who gets coolness. Sahasraara chakra is
underneath the Brahmarandhra. Then the
Cosmic energy or Paraa shakti or Paraavati i.e., Parvati is born. This is
called Parvati is born to Himavant.
VASUKI – KUNDALINI –
KAALIYA MARDANAM:
This Kundalini power is called Vasuki. This
spinal cord is known as Meru Parvatam.
Churning of Meru Parvatam is nothing but to use swaasa (breath) as astra
(weapon) through sushumna in Astral spinal cord and sending the breath up and
down the spinal cord. So doing, the vasuki snake that is emitting poison in
this sansaar is being tamed. When this kundalini power that is vasuki snake
goes through these plexuses, it will inherit the opposite / good qualities of
these five plexuses. They are Gandha (smell), Ruchi (taste), Roopa (contour),
sparsa (touch) and Sabda (sound). As such the Kundalini will become a
five-hooded snake. This five hooded snake reach Kootastham first. From there
this snake or five-hooded hydra shall reach Sahasrara. There the poison shall
be shedded and completely tamed. Here the poison means all the doshaas of
antahkarana. They are Arishadvargaas like Kama (desire), Krodha (anger), Lobha
(Greediness), Moha (delusion), Mada (pride), Matsarya (envy) and Vikshepana and
avarana doshaas as explained earlier. A complete Yogi emerges out of man/saadhaka.
This is called Kaaliya Mardanam.
Deepaavali
Narakasura the demon
was killed by SriKrishna on Aasweeja bahula Chaturdasi (around Oct/Nov) as per
Hindu Almanac and Hindu mythology. The next day Amavaasya (New moon) is
celebrated as Deepaavali by Hindus. Desires, anger, greediness, pride,
jealousy, delusion, lethargy, complacency, postponing kriyayoga meditation etc
are the negative forces and demonic qualities. These negative forces will not
allow the sadhak to do Kriya yoga sadhana.
Moolaadhara,
Swadhistana and Manipura are called samsaara/worldly chakras. The negative
forces shall confine the sadhak to worldly affairs.
Moolaadhara chakra
represents Prithvee tatwa. Prithvee
tatwa represents Gandha tatwa. Narakasura is the leader of negative forces in
the sadhak. He is the son of Bhoodevi, Soil Goddess. That is Narakasura the
Gandha tatwa is the son of Prithvee
tatwa.
Gandha tatwa shall
confine the consciousness of sadhak to Physical pleasures. This will make the
Kundalinee to remain in sleeping state.
Sleeping Kundalinee cannot get Godhood.
The sadhak seeks the
help of Kootastha Sri Krishna or Sri Krishna Consciousness. Kootastha is the place between eyebrows.
Kootastha is the abode of Sri Krishna or Sri Krishna Consciousness. That means
the sadhak does intensive dhyana/meditation in Agnachakra/Kootastha. Then the
Sri Krishna or Sri Krishna Consciousness shall awaken the Kundalinee nearer to
Mooladhara chakra before. The awakened Kundalinee that reached Mooladhara
chakra shall illuminate that Mooladhara chakra to glow with its natural
effulgence. Such Mooladhara chakra or
Bhoodevi shall kill its son Narakasura that is Gandha tatwa which is confined
to physical pleasure(s). This will help the Kriyayoga sadhak to further awaken
the kundalinee so as to make upper chakras to illuminate with their respective
natural effulgences which are so far marred due to sleeping Kundalinee.
This awakening of
Kundalinee that is reaching Mooladhara chakra to further his progress in Kriya
yoga Sadhana is called NARAKASURA VADHA or killing of the leader of negative forces.
The awakened kundalinee
that has reached Mooladhara chakra and make the four petals of that chakra to
shine with its natural effulgent yellow colour is akin to removing darkness
that is massive during Amavasya or New moon is called Deepavali.
