SUPER ENERGY GAYATRI UPANISHAD
INTRODUCTION There are many paths of Yoga. But later all these paths reach one goal only. Those predominant methods amongst innumerable ones in Yoga practices fall under the realm of Super Science of Galati. The 12 spiritual practices of Yoga can be fulfilled via Galati. In this book light has been thrown regarding these chief Yoga methods. With the help of these 12 spiritual practices of Yoga man can truly become a master Yogi. They can attain all those RidhiSidhis or Super Divine Powers that are attained by adept Yogis. Even the important science of Gayatri Upanishad after adding in this e-book incompleteness has been rendered whole and fulfilled. It is only via the combination of theory and practice that anything can attain total completion. The theory of Spiritual Science is there in Gayatri Upanishad. Via it soul wisdom and the deep import can be understood well. The teaching of the Science of Spirituality ends after 12 Yogas. In this manner this book fulfills both aspects viz. theory and practice. I have full faith that this book shall properly guide lovers of Super Science of Gayatri.

CHAPTER 1 YOGA OF GAYATRI
MANY QUALITIES IN ONE: Gayatri tu swayam purno yoga ityuchyate budhaiha. Kinchitwam hi yogasya bahirasmanna vidyate...........1 Gayatri itself is complete Yoga. This is spoken of by great wise scholars. Not even one principle of Yoga is external to it.
Ya twabhavam hi bhavenapurna purnena chathava.
Yojayatseva sa vidya vidvadibharyoga uchyate.........2 That science which joins lack with fulfillment and incompleteness with completeness that science is called Yoga by great wise scholars.
Yogasadhanato lokey nasti kinchinmahattaram. Gayatriyogaha sulabhaha tasu vai sadhanaswapi........3 In this world nothing is greater than Yoga spiritual practices. Within these spiritual practices Yoga of Gayatri is easiest.
The meaning of Yoga is to unite and to join. When 2 things meet then it is said it is Yoga. The Yoga or union of 2 and 4 is 6. Medicinal therapies are called Yoga because in it there are many things that are mixed. In spiritual terminology Yoga is said to be that procedure on the basis of which 2 chief spiritual principles unite. By joining the head and heart, Maya and salvation, sins and good merits and mind and soul in one thread, centralizing them at one center duality gets destroyed and non duality rules the roost. Since separation vanishes one attains divine bliss of unification. The task of Yoga is to help meet and unite. All those means and paths that helps the soul unite with Almighty God are called Yoga in spiritual parlance. The number of Yoga is limitless. In Indian Yoga scriptures all in all there are about 6000 Yoga practices. If we research more into it its number shall rise up n fold. As per the opinion of various countries of the world, religions and sciences the number of Yogas is so big that its measurement if not impossible definitely is tough to gauge. Despite this the aim and task of all these Yoga practices is one only. They wipe out separateness and reinstate unity. Yoga is that science which helps meet non existence with existence and incompleteness with completeness. The living being is incomplete, experiences lack and is surrounded by sorrow and pain. In order to render it complete, spiritual practice follower, wisdom, bliss etc the methods used is called Yoga. Yoga practice is the biggest and most important science because via it those things are attained that is most required by mankind and is most useful. That method which gives huge benefits must be accepted as the highest benefit. Via other innumerable worldly knowledge and energy existences the benefits
accrued are mundane and transitory. Via them to a certain extent worldly objects are attained but things attained via Yoga practices are of a very high stature and there is much more permanent too. Via it man gets more high stature joy and in ample measure and hence Yoga is said to be a supremely great science. Via mundane capacities and powers wealth, wife, son, status, grandeur, health, knowledge etc can be attained. But despite attaining all this neither does man get full satisfaction and nor does sorrow based on lack gets warded off. This is because joy is felt in objects only so long as they are attained. On attaining them a bit of pleasure is felt as long as the attraction for that object is great in measure. The moment this attraction diminishes those things appear burdensome, useless, worth ignoring and lowly too. Then the mind weans itself away from them and starts searching for joy in newer material objects. This sequence continues and along with attainment desire to increases. As a result we may attain them in great quantity and the things maybe best yet man remains dissatisfied and without satiation peace is impossible to imbibe. True peace is attained only when that thing is got wherein on getting separated from it the soul experiences discontent. That wife separated from her beloved husband does not get contentment till she does not get united with her separated husband. That mother who has lost her child does not get contentment till she attains her child and lovingly embracing it. Same holds true for a mother separated from her child or a widow separated from her beloved husband does not re attain him. If you give anything else that they do not desire in order to calm down their separation even so they shall not attain success. They shall not be content with any other thing. The same holds true for the soul. Due to separation from Almighty God or the Cosmic Divine Soul the soul has become discontented, restless etc. Our mind desires to place before the soul alluring toys etc to aid it to become self fulfilled, it wants to help it forget the feeling of separation but the soul's restlessness is not such that it can be warded off by toys and games. As a result the soul may hoard any amount of grandeur, prosperity, fame and power yet the soul's restlessness cannot be warded off. Restlessness does not go away. For a restless soul can never get joy in this world or the next. The soul's satiation is dependent on that warding off of separation that was harassing it due to separation from Almighty God. The process via which separation gets transformed into union is called Yoga. Yoga aids the soul in meeting Almighty God, it helps the head meeting the heart and helps Maya meet Viveka or farsighted discrimination. Due to this union such inner satiation is experienced that in comparison to it all joyous comforts of the world appear lowly. This deep infinite satiation is termed Jivan Mukti, Paramanand, Brahmanand, Brahma Nirvana, Samadhi etc. This the true goal of human life.
In so many paths of Yoga there are perceivable differences. If one is of one type the other is of a different type. As per one's state, capability, leanings, conduciveness etc devotees choose any one particular path and while treading it reach the desired destination. Amongst these innumerable paths Yoga of Gayatri too is included. This path is such that it can be called most easy, giver of good results and is straightforward. This specialty is not seen in other type of methods. Hence for all those walking the sacred path and those desiring soul uplifting there is no greater path than Yoga of Gayatri.
CHAPTER 2 THE 12 YOGAS OF SUPER ENERGY GAYATRI
Jyotirmayya anantaya savitraya eva sansrutau. Pratyakshaya savita proktaha pratiko vidusham varaiha.........1 In this cosmos the symbol of infinitely illumined Savitri is said to be the directly visible Savita by great scholars.
Savitapi tatha lokey prochyatey dwadashvidhaha. Garbhe sanihitastasya yoga dwadashbhedataha.........2 And in this world Savita is said to be of 12 types. In the womb of that Savita 12 types of Yoga are embedded.
Savitri bhuvane yasti vishwatranasamakula. Yogarupa mata sa tu sadibharyogavisharadaiha...........3 Yasyastu yogarupaya ukta dwadashakaha kalaha. Prochyate dwadashyogastatrapyantarhita iti............4 In this world, Savitri immersed in world well being is termed Yoga by gentlemanly scholars of Yoga. Savitri that is Yoga in form is said to possess 12 Kalas (characteristics). In it to are embedded 12 Yogas as believed by all.
This gross world seen by us all is chiefly managed by the sun. Vedas say that the sun is the very soul of this world. Lest the sun did not exist various types of chemical materials, atoms and elements would not be capable of manifesting their very existence. In latent nature is present chemical matter, atoms and elements but their awakening, gushing forth, advancement, management and growth take place only when infinite energies of the sun conjoin to them. Savita has been named Prasavita too because all visible matter are born from the womb of latent nature. The ovum in the womb fertilizes only when it unites with the sperm. In the absence of this union no visible form of the ovum appears before us. Nature is ovum and Savita is sperm. Due to the union of both these we see the existence of this gross material world. By itself the sun possesses many types of energies but in the creation and propagation of this cosmos it's 3 chief energies are at work and they are: 1) Mobility 2) Heat 3) Wish or desire Via the various atoms of these 3 in varied measure various types of materials are created, augmented and destroyed. In this manner in this world those varied type situations and incidences emerge their activity is dependent on the sun. When we cogitate over the root causes of creative science it clearly shows that the state of various creatures' bodily and mental condition is
greatly related to the sun. It is also related to the state of subtle elements' environment's mundane materials. It is because of understanding this relationship that the sun is called the soul of this world. Daily there is sunrise and sunset. Do not think that only the fire ball is the sun. This is just its gross visible form and akin to other materials it is made from gross matter. Within this gross Savita (sun) a subtle energy is at work. It is called Savitri. Just as there is the gross body and the embodied within (soul) is subtle similarly Savita is gross and its managing energy is subtle called Savitri. This Savitri is also called Gayatri. The gist of Gayatri meditation-worship creates a bond with that root energy of the world also called the soul of the world manages Savita. In this manner it is an authority on every object of the entire world. To the extent we can attract that energy, the measure in which we can establish a bond with it to that extent only we can attain authority over those objects. Those related to a king and on whom the king is pleased with it is not difficult at all to use his grandeur to an extent. In this manner, Gayatri devotees benefit by using the rights of that super energy. Sun is said to be of 12 types. The junctions of 12 months are named as separate Zodiac Signs. In this manner despite the sun being singular it is counted as 12 in number. As per various seasons the sun's radiance, color, qualities etc for a long or short time rises in states that are varied. Savitri also called Gayatri is said to be of 12 types. Amongst infinite energies 12 energies are such that directly affects man's mental arena and by imbibing these effects human creatures can attain all those benefits that are required by it. How can the 12 energies be attained? In what way can these be attained is a mystery unveiled by our revered ancestors, masters of Yoga Science after a lot of hard work and research came to know it. By executing this mystery they manifested within them such extraordinary specialties on hearing which today regarding their existence is very difficult to trust. By itself there are innumerable types of Yoga. 84 Yoga are quite well known and apart from these there are many not so well known Yoga. But 12 Yoga amongst these are solar predominant. These are 12 path ways that helps the soul reach Almighty God. These roads may be made up of either pebbles, stones, cement, coal tar etc but its foundation can only be the ground. They have to be constructed on the ground. Similarly even though Yoga practices may be based on varied types yet its basis shall be that managing energy via which some special energy of subtle worlds can be attracted. This managing energy is called Savitri or Gayatri. This energy may have varied names but the foundation shall be this only. Without it based on any other foundation Yoga Sidhis and success can never be attained.
12 royal paths in order to attain soul energy are well known as 12 Yoga. In between these paths are showered with Bapi, Koop, Tadag, Vana and Upavan. These are known as miracles of Sidhis (Divine Powers).
CHAPTER 3 PRANAV YOGA OR BRAHMA YOGA
Omkar eva lokesti brahma sansrishtikaranam. Vyaptam yena jagatsarvam jnana vijnanasankulam..............1 Jnanabharadhanam chaiva tasyaiva sthiracheta. Ubhayam muktidum yadvai brahmayogstaduchyate...........2 In this world the cause of creation is Brahma or Omkar only. This Om Brahma is spread in the entire world which conjoined to knowledge and science. That very Om Brahma with a balanced psyche possessing knowledge and devotion are actions that give salvation and this is called Brahma Yoga. Omkar is Almighty God's own name. In the deep cave of subtle nature each moment a sound gets emitted that was seen and heard by subtle seer Rishis in the subtle Samadhi state or trance. Just as by hammering a watch for sometime vibrations manifest similarly each moment there is lashing and for sometime it lets out an echo. This banging and echo is called Om in human language.
Just as due to the movement of the pendulum all parts of the watch work properly, just as in the piston of the engine the act of moving forward and back helps the machine work well similarly this humungous machine of nature works due to Omkar's sound. The cause of vibration and mobility of atoms is also due to this Omkar's sound. In this manner this Omkar manages the entire cosmos. Establishing a bond with this Brahma sound itself is called Brahma or Pranav Yoga. In Super Mantra Gayatri at first Om or Pranav is chanted and it indicates Pranav Yoga. Yoga is meant to attain Pranav or Om. One is Brahma Yoga and the other is called Naada Yoga. In Naada Yoga while hearing other sounds one ultimately hears Om sound. Then by taking recourse to it one reaches Brahma or Almighty God. We shall further elaborate on Naada Yoga later. The other path is this that those 6 glands in the body on being activated the energy storehouse called Super Power Kundalini should be awakened. A living being by activating this latent Kundalini Shakti gets adorned with it. Thus the devotee rendering Kundalini steady in Brahmarandhra's Sahasrar area hears Om sound. Via Naada Yoga in the womb of the cosmos Om sound is heard. Via Brahma Yoga in this microcosm or body Pranav or Om sound is heard. This cosmos is very widespread. Since microcosm or body works in a narrow area wherever there are benefits to accrue there more hard work has to be put in. the awakening of Kundalini Shakti is said to be the supreme most effort whereas Naada Yoga despite being easier to practice gives success after a long time. By digging a pond or lake we can get water and by placing an iron tap in the ground water can be attained. Digging lakes is well known by all. Whether quicker or much later a man with weak intellect too can succeed in it. But it is difficult to place a tap on the ground using minimum land for it so as to attain pure fresh water in huge measure. Super Power Kundalini awakening is like placing a tap and Naada Yoga is like digging a lake. As per one's inclination both Yoga are great. Regarding Kundalini Shakti that pierces the 6 Chakras (subtle plexus) some light is thrown. The other name of Brahma Yoga is Kundalini Yoga only. It is also called Pranav Yoga.
CHAPTER 4 SUPER POWER KUNDALINI-AN INTRODUCTION
Our body has so many ordinary and extraordinary parts. These extraordinary parts are called 'sensitive areas' too. This is not only just because they are very delicate and useful but that it is said thus because within them are important centers of spiritual energies. In these centers those seeds are kept secure which if awakened and uplifted man can truly become super great. In them the founts of soul energies can gush forth and as a result of this they can become such storehouses of extraordinary powers that for lay persons these are no less than extraordinary wonderment. Amongst these 'sensitive areas' the Merudand or spinal cord predominates. These are foundations of the human body. This Merudand is made up of tiny 33 bony parts. In every part of it spiritual seers perceive subtlyspecial energies that are related to Super Divine Powers. In demigods those centers of energy are present that in varied forms they are found in the Merudand's 33 bony parts. Hence the conclusion made that the Merudand is the leader of 33 deities. The energies of these deities viz. 8 Vasus, 12 Adityas, 11 Rudras, Indra and Prajapati are present in seed form within them. As per Anatomy Science in this hollow Merudand there are many nerves and function in various tasks. As per Spiritual Science there are 3 chief nerves called: Ida
Pingala Sushumna It is not as though we can see these with our eyes by dissecting the Merudand or spinal cord. In fact they are related to the subtle unseen word. These are in a certain sense a flow of human electricity. Just as in electric machines a flow negative and positive is noted and wherever these 2 unite energy manifests. In the same manner we can call Ida negative and Pingala positive. Ida is called Chandranaadi (moon) and Pingala is called Suryanaadi (sun). In gross terminology it can be called flows of coolness and heat. When these 2 unite a 3rd energy manifests called Sushumna. In Prayag region in India you find 2 rivers called Ganga and Yamuna. When they unite a 3rd river in unseen form manifests and it is called Saraswati. In this manner when 2 Naadis or subtle nerves unite to form Triveni (3 fold). Within Merudand too such a spiritual Triveni exists. The 2 flows of Ida and Pingala unite to create Sushumna and a complete 3 fold flow manifests. This Triveni (3 fold) is related to the middle of the brain, Brahmarandhra or Sahasrar and there where Merudand at the base is sharply narrow there in the middle of genitals and anus in the back of their crack Triveni (3 fold) reaches and stops there. This is the beginning and end of Triveni (3 fold). Within the Sushumna Naadis or subtle nerve exists, one more 3 fold union. In it too, 3 very subtle streams flow by and they are called Baja-Chitrani or Brahma Naadi. Just as after cutting bananas there a layer within is noted so too within Sushumna Baja dwells. Within Baja is Chitrani and within it is Brahma Naadi. It is the sensitive center of all Naadis and is the essence of divine energy. It is for giving protection to this sensitive center that so many layers enfold it. In the center of the brain this Brahma Naadi reaches Brahmarandhra wherein as 1000 parts it spreads out. As a result this region is called Sahasrar Kamal or 1000 petal lotus. The symbol of 1000 hoods of Shesha serpent or bed of Lord Vishnu too is taken from this Sahasrar Kamal or 1000 petal lotus. On the head of Avatars like Lord Buddha etc a special type of locks of hair is noted in pictures or photos. These are not hair but are a symbolic artistic picture of Sahasrar Kamal or 1000 petal lotus. The Sahasrar Kamal or 1000 petal lotus is related to subtle worlds or worldwide cosmic energies. A radio transistor's sound absorber and wires that spread sound is called Ariel. Via these wires sound is thrown in subtle space and catches flowing waves. The Ariel of the brain is Sahasrar Kamal or 1000 petal lotus. Via it the infinite energies of Almighty God are caught in the subtle world. Just as a hungry alligator on awakening breathes deeply birds flying in the sky get caught by its intense energy. And as though mesmerized they are dragged in
the alligator's mouth. In the same way the awakened 1000 hoods of Shesha serpent in the form of Sahasrar Kamal or 1000 petal lotus attracts towards it infinite types of divine energies of Sahasrar Kamal or 1000 petal lotus from various subtle worlds. Just as an angry crocodile lets out poisonous hissing to an extent it renders the atmosphere poisonous. Similarly the awakened Sahasrar Kamal or 1000 petal lotus by helping flow powerful sacred sentiments' waves not only ordinary creatures and human beings but souls of the subtle world too get influenced and attracted. Via a powerful radio transistor anything broadcasted by USA can be heard in India too. The sacred sentiments' waves, thrown by Sahasrar Kamal or 1000 petals of the brain, shake up subtle elements of various worlds. Now let us look at the base of the Merudand. The subtlest Naadi or nerve viz. Brahma Naadi amongst 3 Naadis within Sushumna coils and gets bound to atoms of Shatakona or 6 sided cone that is black in color and dwells in the lowest region of Merudand. In order to render the roof very strong iron nails are hammered into the wall and ropes are used to bind these nails and the roof. Similarly, by tying the Brahma Naadi to the atoms of the black colored Shatakona or 6 sided cone arrangement is made to bind the roof of the body viz. Prana Energy. In symbolic language, this black colored Shatakona or 6 side cone is called Kurma or tortoise, because of its shape. The earth Kurma is tied up to to Almighty God. The gist of this symbol is that life home is bound to Shatakona or 6 sided cone as a substratum. This planet earth is tied to the hood of Shesha Naga serpent. The basis of this saying is that shape of the Brahma Naadi wherein it rests by coiling on the Kurma Shatakona or 6 side cone and thus manifests life. Lest it renounces its substratum it shall not take even a moment for the ground of life to pound it to pulp. In spiritual parlance the weaving area of Brahma Naadi to Kurma Shatakona or 6 side cone is called Kundalini or Divine Serpent Power. Just as a black skinned person is named Black similarly this shape of coiling is called Kundalini (Kundal means coil). Kundalini coils around 3 1/2 times to the Kurma Shatakona or 6 side cone and its mouth faces downwards. In marriage rites by copying this, 7 circumambulations are executed. Carrying out 3 1/2 circumambulations (4 to make it easy) and the rule to keep the face downwards is based on that Kundalini because the well managed foundation of creating married life viz. husband-wife's union akin to union of Kurma and Brahma Naadi is as important as the importance of Kundalini or Divine Serpent Power uniting the body and Prana Energy. The energy and deep import of greatness of Kundalini is so much that to understand it properly man's brain becomes shaky. For researchers in Physics today the atom has become a puzzle. The miracle of the procedure to
break the atom has been witnessed by the world in the form of atom bomb that can destroy planet earth to powder. As of now its innumerable destructive and creative aspects remain to be unfolded. Sir Arthur maintains: Lest man comes to know the total knowledge and utility value of nuclear energy nothing remains impossible for him. He shall be capable of rendering the sun into pieces which will then mix up with dust storm. Whatever man then desires he shall be able to create any object or creature based on his whims and fancies. He shall own such machinery and technology that entire world shall take the form of an alley's population. Anyone will be able to go anywhere within a moment. He shall be able to give and take anything. Within his own area or anywhere in the world he shall be able to talk with people just as 2 friends sit side by side to talk. The atomic energy of this inert world is being tapped so much that on noting its deep import there is no limit to our being mind boggled. One spark of the conscious world is infinitely more powerful in comparison to the atom of the inert world. How wondrous shall it be? It is difficult to even imagine it. We find descriptions and extraordinary energies imbibed by great Yogis. We hear so many legends of Yoga's Ridhi-Sidhis or Divine Powers. We get amazed with it and we cannot believe that to what extent this principle is true. But those people well versed with science, inert atom and energies of conscious sparks are not amazed with this at all. Just as today scientists of each nation is immersed in the research of atoms similarly in ancient eras spiritual sciences called seer Rishis had executed deep research on the seed atom within the human body. For breaking up 2 atoms, uniting them and sending them far off the supreme area is the center of Kundalini. This is because in all other places conscious atoms are round and smooth but in Kundalini this is coiled like the Gemini Zodiac Sign. It is like the weaving of atoms of platinum metal and uranium that is woven quite in a slant and diagonal. To break their atoms is easier than other type of atoms. Similarly the activity of spark atoms dwelling in Kundalini can be easily operated as per one's wish. Hence in ancient times Kundalini activation was done with as much caution like today nuclear scientific research is being executed. As a result of these researches, experiments and applications they had unfolded so many mysteries that today are called Yoga Miracles. Madam Blavatsky has done a lot of research on Super Energy Kundalini. She writes: Kundalini is a cosmic subtle electrical energy that in comparison to gross material electricity is more potent, its movement is slanting like that of a snake and hence is called the shape of a serpent. Light travels with a speed of
125,000 miles per second but the speed of Kundalini is 345,000 miles per second. Western scientists call it Spirit Fire or Serpent Power. Regarding this Sir John Woodruff has given a detailed description: Kundalini is calleda vault of hidden energies. In order to place precious jewels it is done in an unknown place and circumstances. Many locks are used so that any family member or some outside person not fit enough to hand over cannot take these jewels. Almighty God by giving us an imperishable storehouse of divine energies has placed 6 locks in it. These locks are used because a credible person comes he deeply realizes his responsibility towards precious wealth only then it is possible to attain it. The key to these locks have been handed over to humans only so that at the required hour he can open the locks to aptly benefit from it. The 6 locks placed on Kundalini are called 6 Chakras (subtle plexus). By piercing these Chakras a living being reaches Kundalini and by using it optimally we can attain life's benefits. Ordinarily the Kundalini of everyone remains in an ordinary latent state. But when it is awakened it changes its area and it allows us to enter that subtle world where Divine Powers can be attained. Huge hidden vaults are found underground. Serpents sit on them to protect them. At the mouth of the vault Kundalini or Divine Serpent Power is known to sit on it so as to offer tight security to the vault. The divine world too has such a vault on the mouth of which is placed the rock of 6 sided Kurma or tortoise. The terrible Kundalini or Divine Serpent Power sits on this rock by entwining around it. This Kundalini or Divine Serpent Power sits there waiting for a spiritually capable person. The moment such a person reaches it instead of stopping him or hurting him it by changing places gives it a road and thus its task ends.
THE 6 CHAKRAS OR SUBTLE PLEXUS 1) Shunya Chakra 2) Ajna Chakra 3) Vishudhi Chakra 4) Anahat Chakra 5) Manipur Chakra
6) Swadhishthan Chakra 7) Mooladhar Chakra Even the scattered Sahasradal Lotus in the Brahmarandhra of the brain remains in the same latent state as Kundalini lies sleeping. Despite the existence of so many invaluable machines and Koshas or Sheaths generally man has become demeaned, weak lowly and a slave of desires for fleeting material objects. He leads like akin to insects and worms and is enmeshed in poverty that makes him shiver with fright. But when he comes to know about these machines and vaults of jewels and starts using them he becomes their master. Thus he is rendered a true heir of God with reference to all capabilities and energies. Regarding the relation of benefits due to Kundalini activation in Yoga scriptures a humungous, special and attractive description. By avoiding a detailed analysis of it over here only this is enough that via Kundalini activation whatever is there in this cosmos can be attained fully and no object remains unattainable for such a person.
CHAPTER 5 AWAKENING THE 6 YOGA CHAKRAS OR SUBTLE PLEXUS
Atasmattujapannam dhyanmagnena chetasa. Jayate kramashashchaiva shatachakranam tu jagritihi. Most definitely via a psyche immersed in meditation by chanting this Mantra slowly but surely the 6 Yoga Chakras are awakened.
Shatachakrani yadaitani jagrutani bhavanti hi. Shata sidhayobhijayante chakrairetaistada.
Most definitely when they awaken mankind via these 6 Yoga Chakras attain 6 Sidhis or Divine Powers.
On the road to reach the root energy of Kundalini there are 6 stations or we can say there are 6 locks. Only after opening these stations or locks a living being can reach this divine energy center. These 3 obstructions in spiritual terminology are called Shatchakras or 6 Yoga Chakras. These 6 Chakras are related to Brahmanaadi amongst 3 Naadis and is situated deeper most within. It is compared to lotus flowers woven in the thread of a garland. In photos readers can see as to which Chakra is situated where? The Mooladhar Chakra is behind the genital organs, Swadhishthan Chakra dwells below the navel region, Manipur Chakra is near the navel region, Anahat Chakra is near the heart, Vishudhi Chakra is near the throat and Ajna Chakra resides between the eyebrows. Above this is the Sahasradal Lotus in the Brahmarandhra of the brain. Sushumna and other Naadis associated with it like Chitrani are so subtle that they cannot be seen by our gross eyes. And the 6 Chakras related to it, is that much more subtle. Even if we dissect anybody we yet cannot clearly see these 6 Chakras and Naadis. This is because our eyesight has limited capacity to see subtle things. The waves of sound, atoms of wind and germs of diseases cannot be seen with our gross human eyes. Even so we cannot challenge their existence. Yogis have seen these chakras with their subtle Yoga vision and by researching it scientifically attained important benefits. And by creating its well managed science placed it before people walking the path of Yoga. The 6 Chakras are like subtle glands and they are found in the path of Brahma Naadi. When a devotee focuses his meditation on these 6 Chakras or subtle glands there he experiences a strange subtle state. These glands are not round but that from it such type of cone emerges akin to petals of a flower. This cone or petal is called lotus. The colors of these Chakras are varied because in these subtle glands contain different elements. The predominance of these elements influences the local blood and hence their color changes. Due to the admixture of earth element blood color turns yellow, pink for admixture of water, blue due to fire pure red for wind and cloudy for space element. It is this admixture that changes the color of Chakra. White ants cuts wood while it walks on it and hence these cut portions are seen to have different shapes. Prana Energy comes and goes in these
Chakras. As per the state of a gland its path is quite slanting. The shape of its movement is quite similar to Devagiri script. Hence this wind path is called alphabets of Chakras. In a river flowing speedily eddy currents are noted at certain spots. These eddies in river water are hollow at certain places, deep, slanting, round or 4 sided. The Sushumna flow of Prans Energy by passing in these Chakras with great speed there subtle eddies are noted. Its shape is 4 side cone half moon tri fold cone 6 side cone, shape of the penis or like the full moon. Whenever fire burns its flame rises upwards and is thick at the base and narrow on the top region. In this manner a wayward 3 side cone is created. Varied shapes of these types are created from the air/wind flow. These shapes and forms are said to be machines of Chakras. The body is made of 5 elements. Via a big or small admixture of these elements various organs and sub organs along with their functions are managed. If the requirements of an element at particular regions become less or more that organ becomes diseased. If the elements dwell at its proper place and in optimal measure it is said to be a sign of good health. These Chakras too have predominance of one element. In each Chakra an element predominates and it is said to be its Tattva. When air passes through the hollow tube like Brahma Naadi due to banging into the subtle holes of Chakras a sound emerges there. It is like air entering the flute instrument in a banging manner that manifests sounds. Every Chakra has a subtle hole. Since the musical notes of it is an echo of flute like sound viz. Sa, Re, Ga etc. These are called seeds of Chakras. There are different types of movements of air entering the Chakras. It is like the Naadi of air, bile and phlegm moving like snakes, frog etc. On identifying these Vaidyas (doctors) give therapies. From the combination of the mixing, slanting path, eddy, seeds etc in every Chakra due to the merging of flow of blood and movement of air a special movement is noted. This movement can be slow like that of an elephant, diving of a crocodile, jumping like a deer, bouncing like a frog etc. These movements are said to be the vehicles of the 6 Chakras. In these Chakras are fund varied types of divine energies. Energies like creation, nourishment, destruction, knowledge, grandeur etc belong to each type of deity or else we can say that these divine energies themselves are deities. In every Chakra a male class of warm semen and a female class of cool ovum energy is present. This is because in the absence of the union of positive-negative and fire and immortal nectar mobility and flow of life do not manifest. These energies themselves are the gods-goddesses of various Chakras.
The 5 elements have their own type of Guna or characteristic. The characteristic of earth is fragrance that of water is juice that of fire is form that of air is touch and that of space is sound. Based on the predominance of an element their characteristic too is predominant. These then are characteristics of various Chakras. By itself these Chakras help flow their subtle energy all over the body but it has a special bond with one particular organ of knowledge and organ of action. They influence them much more than others. The signs of awakening of Chakras are immediately recognized on them. Due to this special bonding they are called sense organs of Chakras. On hearing strange names like Dakini, Rakini, Lakini, Shakini, Hakini etc in divine powers, an illusion manifests that there are things like Bhutani, Chudail, Masani etc Actually, this is not true at all. Right from the mouth to the navel right from 'A' that is wheel shaped to 'H' there is a garland of all alphabets. There are Matrikas of grains of that garland. It is via Yoga Philosophy that great Rishis of yore created alphabets of Devnagiri script via these Matrikas. The deities of Chakras get vibrated by Matrikas. They are related to each other. They are called divine powers of that particular deity. Later Da, Ra, La, Ka, Sha etc that point at Matrikas by conjoining to some words became Dakini, Shakini etc. These then are divine powers.

Respected readers know that Kundalini is the fount of all energies. It is our bodies near most conscious flame. In it in seed form so many mysterious energies that it is beyond the ken of our imagination. In these 6 centers of Kundalini in 6 Chakras too dwells enough divine light. Just as the solar system has 9 planets, sun is its center and since moon, Mars etc are related to it they circumambulate the sun. They get influenced by the sun's warmth, Akarshini, Vilayini and other energies so as to ooze with it. Similarly the energies of Kundalini are transmitted via the 6 Chakras (subtle plexus). Just as in a big vault many tiny doors are there, just as in a bee hive there are small holes and some of them are full so too in Chakras we find a bit if light of energy of Kundalini. Along with awakening of Chakras so many mysterious energies also get awakened. Its gist of hint is mentioned in the fruits of meditation in previous paragraphs. If we expand it more and talk about it these energies are no less spell binding.
CHAPTER 6 PIERCING AND AWAKENING THE 6 YOGA CHAKRAS OR SUBTLE PLEXUS
While piercing and awakening the 6 Chakras one can reach Kundalini or Divine Serpent Power and after duly awakening it conjoining it to the path of soul advancement is in itself a Super Science. Such a Super Science-just like making a nuclear bomb and exploding it is a task that has to be done with great responsibility. It cannot be commenced by merely just reading books. Instead it has to be done under the watchful eyes of an adept guide's protection. Chakras are pierced and awakened via the power of meditation. Everyone is ware that our brain is something like a power house station and the chief stream of it is our mind and psyche. The movement of the mind is restless and multifaceted. Each moment it is immersed in restlessness and keeps jumping up and down all the time. Because of this jumping about everywhere that power of electricity cannot get focused at a particular center. Hence it cannot execute any important task and in its absence human life becomes wayward right till it ends. Lest this energy can be focused, if it can be centralized at one point a scene manifests akin to focusing solar rays on a lens that can burn up a paper kept there. Meditation is such a subtle science via which the scattered multifaceted energies of the mind on getting focused
at one area can be used in a task being executed. As a result there flows the fount of extraordinary divine energy. Via meditation this electricity focused in the mental area can help a devotee pierce and awaken these 6 Chakras. In order to carry out the spiritual practice of awakening these 6 Chakras many books mention many paths. Similarly even spiritual practices going on via the Guru tradition are varied. Via all these paths the goal can be attained. One can definitely succeed but the condition is that it be done with full faith, trust steadfastness and under the watchful guidance of an adept Yoga Guru. Over here we prefer to refrain from discussing other spiritual practices and that by comparing them, criticize and counter criticize them. In these lines we desire to place before respected reader via which Super Energy Gayatri and awakening of the 6 Chakras can be carried out i a straightforward easy manner. Thus in other spiritual practices imbued with many difficulties can be avoided so as not to face any danger. In the early morning hours sit in Padmasan or lotus posture with a clean body and an alert healthy psyche. As mentioned previously carry out 5 Sheath practice that is the preliminary step of Brahma Sandhya. After performing Achaman, Shikhabandhan, Pranayam, Adharmashana and Nyasa chant one round of 108 rosary of Super Mantra Gayatri. After executing Brahma Sandhya in the middle Trikuti portion of the brain, (a line is made from one ear to the other ear end and another line from the middle of the eyebrows to the back of the brain. Thus a union emerges of both these lines and it is called Trikuti) one must meditate on the divine light form of Vedmata Gayatri. The mind should be focused on that divine light in such a way akin to an iron smith in order to heat up iron puts it in a blazing furnace. When this iron turns red it is removed from the furnace and is banged and pounded so as to make a desired object. By placing the mind for sometime in the Gayatri divine light found in Trikuti the mind too becomes radiant. Then it should be brought to the Ajna Chakra. The Brahma Naadi after going ahead on the Merudand (spine) passes through Trikuti in order to enter Sahasrar. In the hollow Brahma Naadi the radiant mind is entered into and then brought into the Ajna Chakra. There on becoming steady all those experiences are attained that are mentioned in the description above. The mind experiences the petals of Chakras, alphabets, Tattva, seed, deity, divine powers, Yantra, Loka or world, vehicle, quality and its color. In the initial stages these experiences are quite incomplete. Some signs of a Chakra are clear, some are unclear and some appear distorted. Slowly but surely they later become clearer. Sometimes in the Chakras of some people there are differences in quality perceived. They will experience only the form of the Chakra within.
By doing Chakra based spiritual practice with a calm psyche, with alertness for 1 month it gets pierced and awakened. In meditation their qualities become that much clearer and at the Chakra area experiences are attained viz. Matrikas related to it, organs of knowledge, organs of action, sudden vibrations, hair raising experience, gushing forth, incitement, itchy etc. These qualities point out to the fact that the Chakra has awakened from its previous latent state. In 1 month more or less if such signs manifest, in meditation the form of the Chakra becomes clearer then marching ahead we must enter a Chakra above it. The method and path is the same. By heating the mind in Gayatri's divine aura entering the Brahma Naadi and after passing it entering the 1st Chakra, then after passing it entering the Chakra after it, in this manner each Chakra takes about 1 month to get awakened. When this spiritual practice attains full maturity, the doorway of entering a Chakra from the previous one, opens up. Till the spiritual practice is executed the door remains open. If the psyche of the devotee wishes to go ahead, the door is not perceived and he gets entangled in the net of the Chakra. When the spiritual practice does not mature for a long time and the devotee does not find a path to march ahead he shall definitely require the help of an adept Guru. Whatever solution is given by the Guru, the devotee must imbibe it. In this manner slowly and sequentially the devotee passing by each Chakra reaches Kundalini in the Mooladhar Chakra. There he gets the vision of that blazing, dark, ferocious and Super Power female serpent. Over here the terrific form of Goddess Mahakali is witnessed. Many devotees shiver with fright while daring to awaken this sleeping lion. While awakening Kundalini it has to be inflicted with pain, it has to be egged on just as in order to explode an atom it has to be broken at the center. Similarly in order to render the sleeping Kundalini active it has to be attacked. In spiritual terminology it is called Kundalini pain. On getting pained the incited Kundalini awakens in a hissing manner. The 1st region it attacks is the mind and psyche overflowing with psychic imprints of many lifetimes. It chews up these imprints it sits on the chest of the mind adorned with weapons and after destroying its grossness and leaning towards Maya or power of illusion transforms it with divinity. Indian Mythology or Puranas have given a very symbolically and heart attracting description of awakening Kundalini and its attack on the living being. The battle between the demon Mahishasur and Goddess Durga is the symbol of this very spiritual mystery. Desiring salvation for himself, desiring to die at the hands of the Goddess demon Mahishasur (Mahi means the mind made up of earth and other 5 elements) goes to fight with Goddess Chandi and
Kundalini. He attacks her while she is sitting silently. The Goddess out of sheer wrath starts attacking the demon. She chews up his vehicle i.e. a buffalo connoting psychic imprints gathered from infinite previous lifetimes. She shatters the mind's worldly behavior, Mahishasur's body with her 10 arms in 10 directions. Finally demon Mahishasur or an ordinary living being merges into the divine aura of Goddess Chandi. By being a part of this Super Energy attains the benefit of life. This wrathful form of devotional spiritual practice is indeed very strange. It is called Sadhan Samar. Where on the one hand so many devotees via love and devotion attain Almighty God or Brahman there, there are so many other devotees in Sadhan Samar fight with Almighty God or Brahman and attain him. Almighty God is hungry for steadfastness and he can be attained by a true loving devotee and a real enemy too. A devotional Yogi can also attain him and in Sadhan Samar a Hathayogi Tantra creature showing 2 hands also can attain God. Kundalini awakening also is a Hatha Tantra. On the basis of which the soul becomes great from lowliness and by becoming macrocosmic from microcosmic becomes imbued with all divine energies. While executing the spiritual practice of Shatchakras or 6 Chakras daily after entering the Brahma Naadi the Chakras are meditated upon. Starting meditation for 5 minutes initially leads later to 30 minutes. At one shot if we meditate more it can be dangerous because it shall become difficult to endure more heat that increases due to more meditation. While ending the meditation session returning via the same path, the mind has to merge in Trikuti and then meditation has to end. There is no need to say at all that we during the time of spiritual practice must observe Brahmacharya or celibacy, eat only once daily, eating food that purifies the mind, living in solitude, residing in a very healthy environment and maintaining a well managed daily routine because these are looked upon as preliminary conditions of doing spiritual practices. Via piercing the 6 Chakras and awakening Kundalini Super Energy in the Brahmarandhra we can visualize a divine light of Almighty God. That Pranav Brahman or God is seen directly that is hinted at in the first alphabet of Super Mantra Gayatri. This then is Pranav or Brahma Yoga.
CHAPTER 7 YOGA OF THE WORLD
Vyaharatinam tu tisrunam santatopasanavidheha. Vishwatma jayate hayatma vishwayogaha sa uchyate. By ceaselessly worshiping all 3 Vyahvrittis the soul becomes a cosmic soul. This in itself is called Yoga of the world.
Bhurbhuvaha swaha are 3 Vyahvrittis that point at 3 worlds. Hell, earth and heaven are 3 worlds called Bhur bhuvaha swaha. The gist of these 3 Vyahvrittis is seeing our soul spread out in all 3 worlds, seeing everything in us and our self in everything. Imbibing this attitude is called Yoga of the world. This is also called vision of the macrocosm. In the Bhagwad Geeta scripture Almighty God showed his cosmic soul to Arjun. This is the result of Vyahvritti Super Science.
In ancient Gayatri literature a text called 'Gayatri Panjar' is found. In it the cosmic form of Goddess Gayatri is showcased. By reading, mentally reflecting and meditating on it with faith, devotion and deep thinking that very situation is created like the one getting a cosmic vision is so meritorious. Below we mentally reflect on 'Gayatri Panjar' and its Mantras are described.
GAYATRI PANJAR In order to deeply think about something it is required that some sort of its image dwells in our mental arena. Without any such image it is impossible for the mind to think about that thing. The process of the mind is this that at first it paints a shape of a thing and then the power of imagination works for it. It could be that someone has never seen the ocean but when something thinking is done on the ocean definitely our mind and psyche will create a big image of a water area. The same is the basis of language sciences. Behind every word there is a form. Hearing the word dog is successful only when on uttering the word dog a special creature's image is formed in the mind. When someone speaks a foreign language never heard by us then even if the word is heard by our ears it is useless like the chattering of birds heard by us. No image is created by our mind because we are totally unaware of the image behind these words. Until the image does not appear it is impossible for the mind to think about its relationship. The same holds true for Almighty God and Divine Energies. Whether they are thought to be gross or subtle, formless or with form, the mind has no interest in thinking over its philosophic and scientific arguments. Lest if some thinking needs to be executed in this direction some form or the other will have to be created and placed before the mind. Else he will never be able to think about God and his Divine Energies. Those people who feel God is formless even they make some formless image of God. Hence it is mandatory that some form be given to the formless God like that of space, brilliant as light, widespread like fire, unseen like atoms etc. Until an image is not formed no relationship can be created with the intellect and image. Keeping this great truth in mind, in order for the mind to create a bond with the absolute Almighty God who is formless, beyond thought, beyond the ken of our intellect and beyond our mind and speech Indian Seers and Masters established images of Almighty God. They have molded beautiful and divine images for meditating on our icon deities. To these are conjoined divine weapons, divine vehicles, divine qualities, divine nature and divine energies. By meditating on such forms with devotion the devotee becomes one with them. Akin to milk and water the devotee merges with the icon deity. The
buzzing bee catches hold of a worm and keeps buzzing around it. The worm listens to this buzzing sound and becomes so one with it that its form changes and the worm becomes a buzzing bee. By regularly meditating on divine tasks, divine forms with a divine nature the devotee gets imbued with those divine powers. Just as via the radio in the subtle space one can hear various sounds with flying rays similarly in meditation establishing a divine image in the mind is like making a spiritual radio. Via this a devotee can imbibe divine energies that move about in the subtle unseen world. As per this principle many icon deities and divine forms have been created for the devotee to meditate upon. There is an independent science of these divine images. Why do certain deities have a particular form? This is a sequential mystery. It shall be described in another book. Over here it is enough to know that for a certain purpose, in order to attract towards oneself, certain divine images that have been successfully established by great Sidha Yogis that very image has been proclaimed for that deity. Where on the one hand for other purposes other deities other images are exist, in order to visualize the entire cosmos as divine an image of cosmic form of Almighty God has been created. Man's soul progress and joy-peace is dependent on the fact that his inner and outer life is rendered pure and sinless. Due to various types of agony, sorrow, lack and agitations man reeks with physical and mental sins. Lest he protects himself from these sins then there is no other reason for them to pose obstacles in his God given joy-peace. In order to escape sins fear of God is most required. God is present everywhere and is widespread. This is known to everyone but very few people actually experience it. Those who experience that Almighty God is present all around me and that he always punishes those who are sinful. Those who experience such sentiments they can never sin. That robber who is surrounded by policemen carrying weapons and that they are watchful regarding each and everything, under such situations how will the robber dare rob anything? Seeing the form of God in the entire cosmos is such a spiritual practice that it awakens our consciousness that helps us experience God in every iota of the infinite cosmos. This then is worship of world humanity and creatures. This is called Virat Darshan or cosmic vision. In the epic Ramayan Lord Rama during his birth gave Virat Darshan or cosmic vision to his mother Kaushalya. Once while eating his meals too Lord Rama gave Virat Darshan or cosmic vision to his mother. In the Uttar Kand there is a description regarding Kakbhushundi that he entered the mouth of Lord Rama and there he witnessed the entire cosmos. Similarly Lord Shri Krishna also gave Virat Darshan or cosmic vision many times. When he ate mud Yashoda who was inducing him to open his mouth he gave this Virat Darshan or cosmic vision to her. In the Udyog Parva of epic Ramayan Duryodhan too had this Virat Darshan or cosmic vision. At the time of war the Lord showed Arjun his
Virat Darshan or cosmic vision and this is described in great detail in the 11th chapter of the Bhagwad Geeta scripture. It is just not possible to see this Virat Darshan or cosmic vision by anyone and everyone. Virat Darshan or cosmic vision is to look upon the entire cosmos as God's humongous image and within it in the form of his parts and sub parts seeing all material objects. By imbibing the sacred sentiment of seeing God everywhere, seeing every object and place oozing with Almighty God our intellect oozes with divinity and by harboring deep steadfast faith that everywhere dwells the divine existence of God man gets absolved of all sins and after this he can never sin. Remaining sinless is such a great benefit that as a result of it we ward off all types of stress and strife. In the absence of darkness there is light and absence of sorrow is called bliss. As a result of Virat Darshan or cosmic vision man on becoming sinless enjoys imperishable bliss eternally. Gayatri too is Almighty God's divine energy. This energy of God is spread out everywhere, in each atom and in the entire cosmos. Whatever exists is Gayatri manifest. This entire world dwells in the body of Gayatri. This sacred attitude is called 'Gayatri's Virat Darshan or cosmic vision'. This very cosmic vision is found in the Gayatri Panjar as detailed below. Panjar means cast and mold. Gayatri's mold, widespread nature exists in the entire cosmos and it is given in its eulogy. By meditating on this eulogy with sacred sentiments we get a cosmic vision of Gayatri both inwardly and in the external world too. As a result of this vision none dares talk just like a robber surrounded by the police dares not to rob. Bhurbhuvaha suvarityetairnigamatva prakashikam.

Saritaha sagaraha shailaha kshetrani kshetrapalakaha. Rishayo munayaha sarvey nakshatrani grahastatha. Punya tirthani pithani vartantey pith devataha. Srishtisamharkartarau bhramantaushashibhaskarau.

Shiv Samhita The human body is an image of this gigantic cosmos. It showcases the energies of the cosmos that manages the latter and they are found in humans. It is said that: In this body along with 7 continents is Meru. Also are present there rivers, seas, mountains, fields, farmers, Rishis, Munis, all galaxies, planets, sacred pilgrim spots, Pithas and their deities. Moon, sun etc move about, in order to annihilate world creation. All elements present like sky, wind, fire, water and earth in the 3 worlds are also there in this human body. By convoluting Meru everywhere transactions are carried out. Those who know this are true Yogis. There is no doubt that all these are placed perfectly in this body called the cosmos.

It had 1000 Urus, fingers, arms, eyes, 1000 mouths and heads and in this world, scholars via their organs, imagine its worlds. Below the waist are 7 worlds and above the waist are seven. From legs Bhuloka has been imagined, from the navel Bhuvaloka, from the heart Swarloka, from the chest Mahaloka, from the neck Janaloka, from 2 breasts Tapaloka and from the brain Satyaloka has been imagined. This Brahmaloka is eternal and in its waist Atal has been imagined. In Uru Vital has been imagined, from knees Sutal, in heels Tal and Atal in the Goolf Mahatal, in the fingers Rasatal and in the inner region of the legs Patal has been imagined. This is a Loka or world incarnate Purusha or God. Merely reading these verses is not enough at all. On it one must with deep thought along with devotional sentiments the psyche should be focused and concentrated. In the cosmic world when we directly perceive our icon deity widespread all everywhere then in this very life each moment heaven shall be visualized that gives benefit of vision of God.
CHAPTER 8 YOGA OF MEDITATION
Gayatrimantrakehyadau tacchando yastu pathyatey. Tasyatatparyamstyatra dhyanyogena naparam............ (1) Yo yatha kurutey dhyanam gayatrya magnamchetasa. Jayatey sa tatha bhaktastvasyabhipraya ityalam.......... (2) At the beginning of the Gayatri Mantra the Tat word that is read over here it connotes Yoga of Meditation and no other meaning. With whichever type of zealous meditation on Gayatri is done by a devotee he becomes of that type. This much only is its meaning.
Meditation is that mental process that according to it, it is establishing something in one's mental arena. The thing etched in our mental plane becomes the chief center of our attraction. Majority of energies get pulled towards this attraction and as a result of which man's inner and outer cast and mold get carved in accordance to it. Depending on the type of imagination of a person in accordance with his nature gets etched. Those very types of Sanskars or psychic imprints are formed and that leads to actions carried out of those types. A man's inner personality is dependent on his thoughts and actions. There is a sequence of personality development via imagination. As per this by climbing up a ladder human consciousness reaches one side from the other. The importance of imagination is extraordinary. Imagination is a cast wherein a creature gets molded in the same way as wet mud gets molded into various types of toys. Along with imagination if faith, trust, steadfastness, love, hope and regular practice are conjoined, it is called meditation. Meditation is a sacred ideal on the basis of which we are created. When tall buildings are constructed a model of it is first made. Thus the building is constructed based on this model. During meditation that image's ideal is established that becomes the cause of our development. Those very types of qualities, actions and nature manifest within us. The example of butterfly worm and buzzing bee is quite famous. The bee catches hold of the worm and shuts it in its home. Continuously the bee keeps hovering and buzzing there. The entire consciousness of the worm gets attracted to the buzzing bee. As a result of this first the worm's psyche and then its body becomes exactly like that of the bee. The same process takes place in meditation. Since the human body and mind is not as delicate as that of the worm's body and mind does not transform in the above manner but in a major way those qualities present in the image of meditation manifest within a person. As per Spiritual Science meditation is a very important solution on the basis of which within the human personality certain capabilities and energies are firmly established. Certain types are pushed out too. It is definite that attainment of mundane joyous wealth and attaining happiness via it is dependent on the state of our inner personality. The more someone is capable the more success he reaps. This capability is his inner personality only. Else from the bodily standpoint only little difference is found in human beings. When a person desires something in order to attain it a most required task is to create an apt optimal mental arena. Via other worldly solutions also these objects can be grasped but as per Spiritual Science its method is that to attain what is desired by man a capable mental principle gets reinstated. This task can be executed via Yoga of Meditation. Hence on an average all spiritual teachers have given utmost importance to meditation.
The Tat word of Super Mantra Gayatri hints at that Yoga of Meditation, on the basis of which we can create such principles ourselves that help in attaining what one desires. In meditation 2 things are most important. One is shape and form and the other is qualities. When we meditate on something some form or the other shall have to be demarcated for it. Its color, form, shape, gestures, clothing facial movements shall have to be created in such a way that the one meditating on it imbibes those very principles within. In the same way in that meditation image such qualities shall have to be reinstated that its influence on falling on our mind shall attract those very principles. Due to the admixture of both form and qualities a complete image comes into play. For various purposes such varied meditation images are created. Teachers of Yoga Science on the basis of their profound experience have created such meditation images whose meditation is executed for fulfilling various goals. Meditation on the form of an image and mental reflection on its qualities is the Yoga of Meditation of Super Mantra Gayatri. In other words meditation practices are called eulogies too. Below we shall mention a few eulogies that aid any devotee to fulfill his desire. Based on our requirement and purpose a eulogy must be chosen. Early morning after completing ablutions, sit for spiritual practice in an Asan or posture. You should face the east. Near you place a vessel with water filled in it. Continue reading the eulogy by concentrating on it's in depth meaning and in the mind that Mother of Vedas (Gayatri) with great qualities must be meditated upon with devotion. By eulogizing accompanied by meditation a devotee imbibes that portion of Super Energy Gayatri which helps in fulfilling his wish. Below are mentioned some useful eulogies.

CHAPTER 9 AUGMENTING SOUL AURA: BRAHMI STOTRA OR EULOGY
By reading this eulogy man's mind rushes towards mysterious principles of Divine Wisdom. On its own mysterious imports of God, living being and nature unfold themselves. One's interest and actions increase in spirituality. As a result man heads towards the direction of Soul Vision, God Realization, supreme goal and divine bliss. Twameka vishwasmin raman manasa dwaitamkarostatatvam jajne mahadidamahankarashitam. Manastenarabdham sakalamapi kimapi na viloketwaditarat.

O Goddess! It is you that has created duality due to your divine wish to sport in this word. After this ego etc along with great elements got created. Again the mind came into being. Similarly the entire visible world got created. Hence apart from you I see nothing else in this world. In the form
of this world I meditate on you only. You are world incarnate and in this world nothing is separate from you.
Sukshmatisukshmarupe cha pranapanadirupini. Bhavabhava swarupe cha jagaddhatri namostute.......... (1) O Goddess presiding deity! You are subtler than the subtlest, Prana, Apan, manifest and non manifest too. O Goddess! I bow down to you.
Kaladi rupe kaleshe kalakalvibhedini. Sarvaswarupe sarvajne jagaddhatri namostute.......... (2) O death and time manifest! O Goddess of death! O one that pierces death and non death! You are all pervasive and omniscient. Hence O Goddess presiding deity! We bow down to you.
Agamye jagatamadye maheshwari varangane. Ashesharupa rupasthe jagaddhatrihi namostute. O Goddess presiding deity! You are unattainable and are primordial energy. You are the boon giver Maheshwari. By becoming world incarnate you are spread out in it. Hence we bow down to you.
Na tasya karyam karanam cha vidyate. Na tatsamashchabhyadhikashcha drishyate. Parasya shaktirvividhaiva drishyate.
Swabhaviki jnana bala kriya cha. It has no activity or any cause. None can be compared to her and none are greater than her. Her divine energy is supreme and is of varied types. Very naturally knowledge, strength and action reside in her.
Vitspandontarjagaddhate kalpanevapuram hridi. Saiva va jagadityeva kalpanaiva yatha puram. Pavanasya yatha spandstayaiyveccha shivasya sa. Yathaspandonishwasyantaha prashantecchstayashivaha. Amurto murtamakashe shabdadambarmanilaha. Yatha spandastanotyeva shiveccha kurute jagat. That vibrating energy merges the world in itself just as imagination. Her imagination city or imagination is city itself and energy is not separate from the world. Just as there is vibration in wind similarly is Lord Shiva's wish. And just as within vibration rests peace similarly in Lord Shiva's wish is Shiva. This Lord Shiva's wish creates this world very much akin to in the formless space wind manifests formless sound.
Brahmayati prakritistanasnsare bhrahmarupini. Yavanna pashyati shivam nityatruptamanamayam. Sanvinmatraika harmitwatakataliya yogataha. Sanvideva shivam sprishtwa tanmayyeva bhavatyalam. Prakritihi purusham sprishtwa prakrititwwam samujjhati.
Tadantarekatam gatwa nadirupamivarnave.
Almighty God's conscious energy called Prakriti that is on the move all the time it moves in this world as long as vision of Shiva who is eternal, self fulfilled and beyond name and form. Since he himself is of same form suddenly on having Lord Shiva's vision she becomes immersed in it. This nature on touching self fulfilled Purusha gives up nature in such a way just as rivers give up their river form on merging with the ocean.
Na dhumairnodeepairna cha madhur naivedya nivahairna pushpairno gandhairna cha vividh bandhaiha stuti padaiha. Samast trailokya prasaran lasad bhuri vibhave. Saparya paryapta tava bhavati bhavopakaranaiha.
O Goddess that propagates this world! Your worship can never be complete with incense, flame lamp, sweets, food, flowers, fragrance and various types of wonderful eulogies. For that only our flowers of sacred sentiments can do the needful. Those unable to do so can never fully worship you with other materials. Without these flowers of sacred sentiments it remains incomplete and shall remain thus always.
SHAKTI STOTRA FOR WARDING OFF THAT WHICH IS NOT GOOD
Shri Dwij Shyamkrut-this eulogy evokes faith and devotion towards Goddessus Bhagawati. Those whose mind fails to get immersed in Gayatri practices they must read aloud this eulogy with faith for a few days. Due to this faith, trust and devotional sentiments shall increase day by day. Thus all types of strength of the devotee augment and that which is not good gets destroyed.
Omkar rupa tripada trayi cha. Tridevavandhya tridivadhidevi. Trilokakatrim tritayasya bhartri. Traikaliki sankalanavidhatri........... (1)
That Goddess is primordial energy, Om incarnate, adorned with 3 legs and is 3fold knowledge in form. She is offered obeisance by the 3 deities (Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh), chief of all deities, creator of the 3 worlds, remaining uniform at all times and by gathering atoms creates this world........ (1)
Traigunya bhedat trividhaswarupa. Traividhyuktasyafalasya datri. Tathapavargasya vidhayini twam. Dayardradrikkona vilokanea............ (2)
Due to differences of the 3 Gunas you have varied forms and you are one that gives 3 fruits as mentioned in the Vedas. By merely looking with compassion you give heaven and salvation.

O Goddess! You are scriptures manifest and the supreme image of this world. By becoming world manifest too you are the womb of this world. Despite being conjoined to elements you are beyond them too. You are the star of the eyes of Lord Shankar who uplifts everybody.
Bhutam cha bhavyam sakalam yadetat Twataha param kutra na kinchidasti. Adyamanadyamanavadyavandhya Pashyanti vijnaha pravadanti cha twam......... (4)
Whatever exists like past and future, nothing is separate from you at all. You have a form that is beginning and beginning less and one who is prostrated by great people. Scholarly people see you minutely and they describe you.
Vishwatmike vishwavilasabhutevishwashreya vishwavikashdhame. Vibhootyadhishtatri vibhootidatripadetwadiye prantirmadiya....... (5)
O Goddess! World manifest! You give merriment to this world. You are the cause of the development of this world and are the world's shelter. You are the presiding deity of wealth and grandeur and one that gives divine glories. O Goddess! My prostrations at your hallowed feet!
Twam nityasargasya visarga bhuta Dainandinsyapi cha prakritasya. Vishwasya yonirhi mata tathapi Samudrahaimadiviranchi........... (6)
O Goddess! You are the ceaseless creator of this world and the creator of material daily routine. O Mother! Although you are the mother of this world even so you are said to be the daughter of the ocean, Himalaya Mountains and Brahma.
Bhogasya bhoktri karanasya kartri dhatwavyayapratayyalinga shunya. Jneya na vedairna puran bhedairdhyaya dhiya dharanyadishaktihi........... (7)
It is you that is material objects, the enjoyer of it and creator of wealth. You are a void with reference to metals, Avyaya, Pratyaya and Linga. You cannot be known via Puranas or Indian Mythology, Bheda and Vedas. We can only meditate on you with our intellect.
Kichidyadetatvamurtiresha
Tathapyadrishyakhilsaghanaishcha. Santa niranta sadasatswarupa Sfutasfutasfot vikashrupa....... (8)
Although your visible images have been carved, yet in actuality with all means you are invisible only. You are with end and without end too, you are non existence and manifested and un-manifested in form and are development and annihilation in form.
Nityam sada sarvagatapyalakshya. Vishnorvidheha shankartopyabhinna. Shaktiswarupa jagatosya shaktir Jnatum na shakya karanadibhistvam............ (9)
Despite you being eternal and all pervasive yet you are invisible. You are not separate from Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. You are divine energy manifest and are the energy only of this cosmos. With some specific symbol you cannot be known.
Tyaktastayatyantanirastabudhir Naro bhaved vaibhavbhagyahinaha. Himalayadapyadhikonnatopi Janaissamastairapi langhaniyaha......... (10)
O Goddess! When you take your hand away from a person he becomes without brains and grandeur and his good fortune gets destroyed too. Although he is higher than the Himalaya Mountains yet even ordinary people run ahead of him. It means even lay people rebuke him.
Shive harau brahmani bhanuchandrayosh Charachare gocharakepyagochare. Sukshmatisukshme mahato mahattame. Kaa twadiya vimala virajate......... (11)
O Goddess! Your light of taintless Kala is found in Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, sun, moon, moving, unmoving, grasped by the senses, not grasped by the senses, subtler than the subtlest and greater the greatest.
Sudhamakarand tava pada padamam. Swe manase dharanaya nidhaya. Buddhirmilindi bhavatanmadiya. Nataha param devi ? varam samihe........... (12)
O Goddess! We pray that your lotus feet nectarine like earth is imbibed by us in our mind so that my intellect becomes its buzzing bee. Apart from this i do not desire anything else.
CHAPTER 10 BUDHIVARDHAK STOTRA OR EULOGY
Eight Mantras of Saraswati Ashtak are given below. By reading it aloud with faith one's wisdom prowess increases. One's memory power increases. Fear harbored by students of failing in their exams, scholars immersed in debates of Holy Scriptures and for lawyers who fear losing cases gets warded off. Due to weakness of the intellect where suspicion lurks regarding manifestation of bad omen, all of these get destroyed on reading this eulogy aloud. Since the intellect becomes more brilliant the existence of these undesirable elements like fear etc is overcome.
Nama rupatmakam sarva yasyamaveshya tan punaha.
Dhyayanti brahmarupaika sa mam patu saraswati. We pray that this God incarnate Saraswati protects us who are meditated on that Goddess by Munis in whom is included same name and form.
Ya sangopang vedeshu chaturshwaikaiva giyate. Advaita brahmanaha shaktihi sa mam patu saraswati. We pray that this God incarnate Saraswati protects us who is the infinite divine energy of Almighty God and is fully sung in the Vedas.
Hi anodivo brihataha parvatada. Saraswati yajata gantu yajnam. Havam devijujushanam ghritachi. Shagmano vach mushti shrunoti ......................Rigveda (5/43/11) It means that we pray that Saraswati takes a seat in our Yajna of Sidhyartha Yajna and she hears and accepts our Yajna offerings and prayers.
Ya varnapadavakyaarthaswarupenaiva vartate. Anadi nidhanananta sa mam patu saraswati. That Saraswati who is always Varna, verses, sentences and meaning in form is also beginning less, primordial and infinite. We pray that Goddess Saraswati protects us.
Pavaka naha saraswativajebhirvajinivati. Yajnam vashtu dhiya vasuhu. We pray that Goddess Saraswati who is one that purifies us and owning all energies desires our Yajna. With what meaning this desire should be executed? The answer is for food via which we get more food or wealth because Goddess Saraswati is the presiding deity of Anna Yajna. It is only via our intellect that we can get wealth.
Ya pratyagdridhtibhirjivairvyajyamananubhuyate. Vyapini jnapti rupaika sa mam patu saraswati. One Goddess Saraswati is spread out everywhere in the cosmos and in knowledge incarnate but that living being that gives up his extroverted nature and instead becomes introverted at that time he perceives Goddess Saraswati in his heart. We pray that such a Goddess Saraswati protects us.
Vyaktavyaktagiraha sarve vedadya vyaharanti yam. Sarvakamugha dhenuhu sa mam patu saraswati. Word based sentences that are manifest and non manifest and Vedic and other scriptures describe the detailed form of Goddess Saraswati and may that wish fulfilling cow incarnate Saraswati who fulfills all desires protect us.
Yam viditwakhilam bandham nirmathya khilvartamana. Yogi yati param sthanam sa mam patu saraswati.
By knowing her cutting all bondages a Yogi by becoming cosmic in nature attains the supreme status. We pray that such a Goddess Saraswati nurture us all.
Adhyatmadhidaivam cha devanam samyagishwari. Pratyagaste vadanti ya sa mam patu saraswati. That which is the Adhidaivik and Adhyatmik energy of demigods and one that ceaselessly inspires all energies we pray that such a Goddess Saraswati nurture us all.
CHAPTER 11 SAMRUDHIDATA SAUBHAGYA STOTRA OR EULOGY
For destroying sorrow, poverty and hardships and for augmenting joy and grandeur this Saubhagya eulogy must be read aloud daily. Twadanyaha panibhyamabhayvarado prakatitavara bhityabhinaya.
daivatganastwameka
naivasi
Bhayatratum datum falamapi ya vanccha samadhikama shranye lokanam tava hi charanadeva nipunau.......... (1) O protector of one who surrenders to you! Apart from you other demigods can only shower fearlessness on us by merely raising their hands. You do not just act superficially regarding boons and Mudra but in order to overcome the sorrow of your devotees and your feet that gives much more than what is asked for fulfills all mental wishes harbored by your devotees.
Kripapangalokam vitar tarasa sadhucharite Na te yuktopeshamapi sharanadikshamupagate. Na chedishtam dadyadanupadamaho kalpalatika. Visheshaha samanyaiha kathamitaravalliparikaraiha.......... (2) O Goddess! Do quickly shower your grace on me since I have taken your shelter. Despite being of lowly character I have surrendered to you. It is not apt that you ignore those who seek your shelter because despite sitting under the wish fulfilling tree if desired benefits are not attained then what is the difference between the wish fulfilling tree and ordinary trees.
Ayahasparshey lagnam sapadi labhatey hemapadvim. Yatha rathyapathaha shuchi bhavati gangaughilitam. Tatha tattatpapairati malinamantarmam yadi. Twayi pramnasaktam kathamiva na jayet vimalam.......... (3) When the mere touch of Paras (touchstone) iron turns into gold and dirty waters of a stream on merging into River Ganges water becomes sacred Ganges water. Hence why shall not my mind tainted due to sins become sacred by devoting myself to you with love? Definitely it shall become pristine pure!
Twadanyasmadiccha vishay falalabhey niyamastvamajnanamicchadhikamapi samartha vitaraney.

Iti prahuhu pranchaha kamal bhavanadyastvayi manastvadasaktamnaktandivamuchitamashini kuru tat......... (4) It is not necessary and definite that other demigods shall definitely give us our desired fruits. You are capable of giving much more than what we aspire for. Primordial Brahma and others opine that this is the only difference between you and other demigods. It is hence that my mind/psyche is attached to you. O Goddess! Please do what is apt.
Nityam vishwam vshyati harirnigrahanugrahabhyamadyeshaktim vighatayati te hant karunyapuraha. Lord Vishnu via his discipline and grace renders the entire world surrendered to him. But O Queen Lakshmi! The onrush of your divine compassion stops the speedy onrush of Lord Vishnu's discipline. It means that in front of your compassion the Lord's discipline based peace fails totally. The Lord's punishment never works on those whom you shower divine compassion.
Daridram duhshilam duraghigamanam dukhadalitam. Duracharam durey patitamamarairdurbharataram. Janairmuktambhukti pramukhsukhasampat samudayaha. Pumansam severan bhagwati! Bhavaddrishtibharitam. Poverty, no politeness, sorrow, oppressed, executing vile actions and has gone far away, who cannot be nurtured by heaven, who is left in the lurch by family members even on such a person O Goddess Bhagwati! When your grace falls night and day salvation, joy, wealth etc approaches him and becomes his servant.
CHAPTER 12 YOGA OF THE BRILLIANTLY SHINING SUN
Savitustu padam nunam suryayogam hi prengate. Jyotirmayo bhavatyante yogenanena sadhakaha. This verse 'Savituhu' indicates Yoga of the sun. Finally a devotee via this Yoga becomes divine light manifest.
The sun represents heat and light. It is called the soul of this world because atoms obtain mobility and evolution from the sun. When along with the sun which is the center of energy Prana or vital force conjoins with it then in it those energies manifest that are present in the sun. By coming in close connection with a very powerful one those very qualities start appearing in a person who is weak minded. When you keep objects near fire they become hot. When something is placed near freezing ice it becomes cold. It is correct that a particular object imbibes it in lesser measure and in more time and other objects imbibes it in greater measure. For example a wooden stick imbibes heat much more near fire than a stone. In order to ward off such a disparity Yoga of the Sun is most required. For everyone lies open, Sun God's infinite great energies but only that person can use it who renders himself capable of doing so. In this manner those energies manifest in him. Sunlight spreads out everywhere but since our doors are closed this light cannot enter our home. Lest we wish that sunlight enters our house we must keep open our house doors and windows. The moment they open sunlight enters it with unobstructed speed. The same holds true for solar energy. The more we make efforts to reach close to this energy and rendering ourselves conducive to it to that extent these energies shall manifest in us. The aim of Yoga of Sun is to render us so capable that Savita's energies enter us with speed in an unobstructed way. All material energies are manifested via the sun. Scientists are known to unveil subtle energies from the deep recesses of Prakriti or nature. All these are said to manifest via the sun. In this manner all transactions in world creation are managed by the sun because its rays via various processes creates propagates and destroys. On conjoining to the sun, man lords over all those things that are within its periphery of jurisdiction. No object in this world is external to sun's authority hence there is nothing that cannot be attained via Yoga of the Sun. Kings belonging to the solar clan would experience that energies of Savita existed in the ancestral wealth. Kunti after invoking solar energy became pregnant and thus Karna was born. That Putreshti Yajna performed by King Dashrath from which 4 children full of divine qualities manifested was actually a Solar Yajna. In Yajnas offering Ahutis to its fire is actually feeding the sun. Creation of children, trees, plants, food, animals etc and health are especially related to solar energy. These 2 goals are such for which imbibing shelter of Sun God is believed to be an intense spiritual basis for its success. The religious vow of Sunday is well known for its utility value. Mothers are known to observe this fasting regarding various desires related to their
children. For nourishing the baby in the womb and giving birth to pious children, pregnant women fast on Sundays. In order that children remain healthy and warding off negativities mothers worship the sun. People with poor health in order to overcome weakness and illnesses and in order to attain good health like strong people they observe religious vow on Sundays. Religious vow on Sundays is not difficult at all to observe. Those who are healthy can avoid food totally. Without food means drinking only water on that day. Falahar means devouring milk, curd, fruit, vegetables etc. Those that cannot remain without food and Falahar can eat just once in the day food that is made from grain with lentils, vegetables, milk and curd. Salt and sugar should be avoided totally. In this manner eating food just once that is tasteless and sacred in nature means executing half a vow and fast. The ordinary vow of solar meditation encompasses giving Arghya to the sun, offering water, meditating on the sun, mentally circumambulating it, bowing down to it, chanting the Mantra 'Om suryaya namaha' etc. It can easily be done by anyone daily. During days of fasting it should be used daily. The exercise of Surya Namaskar has been detailed by me in a book called 'Pratyaksha faldayini sadhana'. By doing Surya Namaskar as given there our health improves greatly.
SURYA SNAN OR SUN BATHING: By covering your head in sunlight lying down naked is a very good therapy for warding off diseases. In fact tuberculosis also can be warded off. Water heated under sunlight and used for bathing is a very useful medicine. After washing clothes drying them under the sun is a very good method to render them clean. It is said that in those homes where sunlight enters, doctors never come there. The meaning of doctors not going there is remaining healthy and disease free. The rays of Sun God possess extraordinary energy to destroy germs of various diseases. The more man remains close to the sun the more he is protected from diseases. All creatures of nature move around naked in front of their father viz. Sun God. It is hence that they never become ill. Our ancestors also apart from lightly covering their nakedness did not wear other clothes in their daily lives. They very well knew that the more solar rays enter our body via the skin pores the more they would remain healthy and disease free. Today in our daily living we have almost fully forgotten the importance of Solar Meditation. We are not satisfied that we put layers of clothes on our body. By covering our body with many clothes renders our skin yellow. The energy to endure the influence of seasonal changes weakens a lot. Day by day many diseases attack us like common cold, coughing, heat, allergy, itching and so on. The devotees of Yoga of Sun are well aware of this mystery and
hence try to keep as many bodily parts as possible. They wear only those many clothes as are minimally required. A mythological belief says that 7 horses are attached to the sun's chariot. These 7 horses connote 7 types of rays of the sun. Innumerable sun rays of Sun God enter our planet earth and they have 7 colors. These colors are seen in the rainbow and can be seen also in thin strips cut from glass lenses. Along with these colors, some special energy is conjoined. To the extent these energies gathers in a particular place and in more or less measure or in the form of an admixture there those very colors are noted. In this manner in things of varied colors separate types of qualities manifest. Western scientists have seen via subtle technology thoughts that fly about after coming out of the brain. They have seen varied types of thoughts with color and form. The color of anger is red, black thoughts of sins, the color of wisdom and discrimination is yellow, the color of renunciation and gratefulness is ochre, that of peace is blue, that of zest is pink, that of Kutaniti is brownish, that of desiring to enjoy objects is purple, the color of joy and satisfaction is green, that of greed is Basanti, that of creation is Khakhi, the color of development is Moongiya, the color of steadfastness is grey, the color of sweetness is wheat like, that of restlessness is Rupahala, that of wiliness is of mud, that of ego is brown and color of laid back and stinginess is pink. These thought waves attained from colors appear from solar rays. This is because every ray owns some material and some spiritual influence. Wherever there is a particular color there starts gathering both types of specialties of the sun's rays. If a material is of a particular color only those type of color of solar rays passes through it. The remaining colors remain outside only. If a cloth color is ochre then rays of renunciation and working for others' well being passes through it and it shall influence the body it has passed through. Hence Sun Yogis in their eating-sleeping habits pay special attention to the usage of colors. He uses things of useful colors in apt measure and stays away from those that are not useful. In a book authored by me called 'Surya Kiran Chikitsa' I have detailed that by filling colored glass bottles with water, milk, oil, sugar etc keeping them in sunlight how they become medicines. And with the help of these things how difficult diseases can be warded off in a therapeutic manner? Depending on the color of the glass bottle that very colored sun rays will pass through the glass and due to its effect that water, milk, oil etc become conjoined to a special type of energy. It thus showcases a miraculous effect of warding off diseases. Lest if a person drinks in more measure water filled in a red bottle and kept in sunshine for eight hours he will vomit blood or pass stools with blood in it.
On understanding this mystery a Sun Yogi for varied tasks imbibes the wisdom of usage of various colors. He makes such arrangements for colors of food, clothes, medicines, whitewashing the house, curtain, painting, vessel, vehicle, animals that are useful, tools, materials used etc that is useful for him. In order to ward off any difficulty and gathering requirements he makes full use of this Science of Color. By renouncing certain objects of a particular color and using certain colored objects a lot more he accrues such important benefits that are difficult to attain via other methods. Science of Color too is a leading part of Yoga of the Sun. Piercing and activating the Solar Wheel and its onrush is a secret process of this Yoga. Solar Wheel has 2 areas-one is hard and the other is the stomach. Heart is the chief center and the stomach is its branch. Hence the Solar Wheel situated in the tummy is called Upachandra or Chandra Wheel. The description of the Wheel in the heart center is white light, very brilliant, shape is round and nature is hot. The color of Wheel attached to the stomach is yellow, light is like moon, shape is like a candle flame, it is thick below and thin above and its nature is cool. Due to the differences in characteristics they are called Solar Wheel and Lunar Wheel. In reality both are Solar Wheel. The light on moon actually is that of the sun. When solar rays do not fall on the moon then poor fellow's existence too is invisible. Sun Yogis in order to render advanced certain energies and incite them take recourse to the Solar Wheel and in order to calm down and destroy certain not required thought waves make use of the Lunar Wheel. Via a healthy peaceful psyche, if one meditates on these Wheels or Chakras heat and cold increase in the body and psyche. If the body is hotter by meditating on the Lunar Wheel it calms down and when it is very cold the moment we meditate on the Solar Wheel heat circulates in our nerves. When we wish to increase a certain type of sentiment and incite it by imbibing it in our psyche the Solar Wheel is meditated upon. Any thought wave that needs to be calmed down keeping it in our sentimental realm in the stomach the Lunar Wheel is meditated upon. Thus ceaselessly peace increases and unruliness and incitement keep decreasing. Via this procedure a Sun Yogi keeps rendering his psyche well balanced and by protecting life's development from mismanagement it is made to head towards proper management. Yoga of the Sun has many branches. It is a great science on the basis of which the form of an object too can be changed. Swami Vishudhanandji was adept at transforming one species of a flower into another species. He would say that in the same way all objects of the world can be changed from one form to another. The visible form of a material can be changed by removing a certain measure of atoms of a certain element and in its place adding a certain element in a certain measure. The managing existence of the sun has control over elements and their atoms hence via solar energy every object can be changed into something else. Yoga of the Sun is mind boggling and one
succeeds in it via practice, efforts and immense patience while doing its spiritual efforts. One cannot publish in books the mystery of spiritual practices and only a mere hint can be mentioned. An experienced master recounts this mystery only to a qualified credible disciple.
CHAPTER 13 YOGA OF ENERGY
Shreshthebhyaha shaktiyogebhyo varenyam gaditam tataha. Sarvashaktibhyo yebhyo japato hyatmaabhijayate. This verse 'Tadantar varenyam' has been said for great Yogis. Via this Yoga of Energy the one soul of one doing its Japa or Mantra chanting becomes all powerful and omnipotent.
Varenyam means supremely great. In this world, the supreme most is energy. Without power one cannot attain the soul. The Upanishads say: Nayam atma balahinena labhya. This soul cannot be attained via a weak minded person. Forget attaining the soul even mundane materials cannot be got. The more someone is powerful in comparison to lay people he is more supreme. Hence in the Varenya word in Super Mantra Gayatri it is said that it hints towards Yoga of Energy. Those that worship Shakti or divine energy are called Shaktas. In India Shakti Theory has accrued a lot of respect and has been rendered widespread. But in the past Dark Era by rendering this Great Principle as a source of sense titillation, it started indulging in alcohol, flesh eating and unlawful sex. In reality it is not as ill famed as was noted in the past due to it imbibing a bad form. In the worship realm of Spiritual Science energy is worshiped as Goddess Durga. Durga represents Shakti or Divine Energy. How does one use strength and solution of focusing and augmenting and what is the meaning of strength? The answer to all these questions is embedded in the mysterious nature of Durga. If we mentally reflect a bit on Durga's character we shall unfold very important facts. Every principle of Durga is filled to the brim with mystery. The meaning of worshiping Shakti is to gather strength. There are 8 types of strength: 1) Power of knowledge 2) Power of body 3) Power of wealth 4) Power of organizations 5) Power of qualities 6) Power of status 7) Power of daring
8) Power of truth
In order to represent and augment these 8 powers Durga has 8 arms. It means one single Shakti has 8 parts. Shakti sits in 8 parts. These 8 powers on uniting a single complete portion get formed. The combination and admixture of all these makes one complete Divine Energy. Depending on in what measure and amount these 8 energies are present to that extent a person is said to be powerful. The meaning of Yoga of Energy is imbibing energy as much as possible. For spiritual practice of this Yoga all those tasks have to be carried out that are required for both the mundane and spiritual world.
Those tasks that manifest all the above 8 energies come within the arena of Yoga of Energy. In order to increase the powers of knowledge, health, wealth, congregation, qualities, status, bravery and truth man as per his state must work in his own way. Since the state and interest of all are different everyone has to demarcate their own methods. All these solutions and applications are a part of Yoga of Energy. A Yogi of this path imbibes as much as is possible and thus becomes powerful.
Energy is wealth. One can use energy in any direction one wishes to. With wealth you can earn righteousness, one can work for others' well being and welfare, we can gather means for soul advancement, we ourselves can live peacefully and help others do so too but if someone desires one can misuse wealth too. It can be wasted in useless endeavor and could be used in such vile tasks that its result would become ghastly for oneself and others too. In actions like alcohol intake and prostitution wealth is misused a lot. Its results could be a downfall with respect to body, mind and finances. Similarly the wealth of power and energy too could be put to use in any direction we want. By using it piously we can reinstate joy not only in our lives but could be reinstated in other people's lives too. But if it is misused lots of undesirable and terrible situations have to be faced. Demigods too possess energy along with demons. Demigods on using energy aptly establish peace and happiness everywhere whereas demons with this very energy spread about everywhere chaos, harassment, pain and unruliness. Hence the chief part of Yoga of Energy is controlling energy optimally and applying it for sacred wholesome activities. In a nutshell this is the gist of Yoga of Energy involving imbibing as much energy as possible and using it for supremely great tasks.
For gathering energy even this is required that those openings are kept shut wherein our hard earned energy wastefully gets drained away. We may collect any amount of milk in a vessel with holes in it will enter the holes and get drained away. Thus our hopes shall get dashed to the ground hence if we wish to gather something those holes shall have to be sealed since day after day they render us weak. Such holes are mainly of 3 types. In Durga biography the method of obstructing it is described in a beautiful symbolic manner.
In the scripture 'Durga Saptashati' 3 legends are detailed; one MadhuKaitab, second is killing demon Mahishasur and third is killing of ShumbhNishumbh.
Madhu-Kaitab means desire. Mahishasur means anger. Shumbh means greed. These 3 were killed by the Goddess donning 3 different forms. By becoming Goddess Saraswati she awakens Lord Vishnu and helps in killing Madhu-Kaitab. Vishnu means wisdom. Great Goddess Saraswati is energy of Viveka or farsighted wisdom. She awakens the sleeping Vishnu or inner wisdom. She wards off the unconscious state of wisdom. Thus when the psyche awakens it destroys objects based mental distortions. This is killing of Madhu-Kaitab. In objects based mental distortions not only the most precious portion of the body i.e. sperms get destroyed but that a bigger loss is this that by turning one's face away from elements that render the soul highly advanced, gets immersed in sexual activities. His thinking etc heads in this direction only and thus all thought waves get immersed in illicit sex. As a result a supremely great part of life gets wasted in actions that are hollow, lowly, unethical production and unhealthy too. For other realms, only little remains for progress. It is hence that if a person's mind is immersed in objects based mental distortions he cannot execute any important task. They are trapped in dirty muck.
The 2nd enemy is anger. Anger over here means mental incitement. The children of anger are worry, fear, hatred, sorrow, arrogance, irritation, ego, downfallen state, hopelessness, incitement, keep muttering foolishly, onrush of ire, restlessness etc. The heart and brain can carry out an important task only if the mind is calm and poised. In the state of incitement his decision,
program, thought, actions etc are all error prone. And the result of wrong actions leads to more wrong activities. It is hence that a wrathful man does not find the right path and does not reach the desired great goal. This anger is Mahishasur. Energy donning the garb of Goddess Mahakali destroys anger and only then the bugle of victory is sounded.
The 3rd legend is that of destroying Shumbh-Nishumbh. It is greed and avarice. Greed means gathering things by breaking and joining them and not only will he himself not use them but shall obstruct others also from doing so. Avarice connotes uncontrolled desires. Greedy people always remain discontented. Like dogs their tongues water for grandeur and pomp. This they do whether there is a need or not or whether they are capable or not. Even if such greedy avaricious people attain some wealth they cannot use it wholesomely and without it even if one lords over such wealth it never augurs well for them. Hence this greed was killed by Durga donning the garb of Goddess Mahalakshmi. Along with this via many energy aides of greed viz. Aindri, Brahmi, Vaishnavi, too were destroyed. For soul advancement 8 energies are mandatory. Those who are attached to mental distortions and material objects their mental enemies called selfish desires, anger and greed must be killed. Those afflicted with gushes of mental incitement, such people that are haywire in nature can never gather any power or energy. Selfish unwholesome desires, scattered thinking and a restless psyche can never allow them to walk the path of goodness and greatness. Hence it becomes imperative that these 3 enemies be killed in their respective arenas. Those wishing to amass wealth power they by becoming greedless adds capital to his business, by bidding adieu to anger he attends to his customers with sweetness and sheer politeness. By giving up the desire of getting immersed in sense titillation and fleeting sense merriment right from morning to night pours his hard work based perspiration in business activities. If he fails to do this how can he become an affluent person? Even for bodily growth one has to avoid greed so as to give it nourishing food. By wearing a loin cloth of Brahmacharya exercise has to be done. By remaining far away from worry along with zest friendship has to be made in gymnasiums. Desire, anger and greed should be used only minimally that is enough to advance and reap success. Without crushing excess desire, anger and greed we can reach God neither nor reap worldly success. Hence a Yogi of Energy by following Energy Biography fights with these 3 enemies so as to defeat them and march ahead.
Durga took birth in the form of collective energies of all demigods. The story described is that on being harassed by demons the demigods gathered
together and they each contributed their divine energies. After handing over their weapons they created a united central power that was called Durga. This Durga killed all demons. Demigods could never defeat demons in a lone individual manner. Hence they all centralized their energy in a united focused manner. Man cannot win over his difficulties in a lone manner. With the help of others he has to create a centralized power. The more someone's organization is huge, the more he has public power backing him he is that much more powerful and capable. In nations adhering to democracy all political power is focused on voting only. Apart from politics even in realms of social, financial, religious and spirituality organization power has its deep import. In Kaliyuga or Dark Era scriptural scholars have especially given major importance to organization power.
Durga means that which is difficult. Durga is one that overcomes difficulties. The collective energy of demigods and great men is called Durga. It wards off the difficulties of man individually and collectively. The collective energy of demons augments hardships in the world but the congregation of demigods always overcomes hardships in the world. Hence a Yogi of Energy tries to make such an organization that has people of his own pious nature and makes it strong and gigantic in measure for fulfilling great tasks. Grass blades join together to become a strong rope that can tie up a huge robust elephant. If a huge organization of small stature people is gathered united full of strength they can reach that goal which appears to be difficult to attain.
The Goddess is pleased Bali. Bali means renunciation or self sacrifice. Renunciation leads to refreshing experiences, energy manifestation, zest and activity. Without petrol burning a car cannot move ahead. Without spending money a shopkeeper will not give you any goods. In this world the transaction is straightforward wherein one hand gives and the other hand takes. Those who do not give anything must refrain from harboring a desire to take. At first a farmer sows seeds in the entire field then after many days he gets a chance to cut his blooming crop. Those that wish to amass a particular type of energy must sacrifice (Bali) their goats called pompous lifestyle and buffalos connoting lethargy and offer it to the Goddess. With the might of power of patient endurance one attains victory aided by efforts, hard work, sacrifice and enterprise.
A Yogi of Energy tries to amass as much energy as is possible. But he uses a major portion of it for world well being and welfare. He uses very little of it for himself. The more one possesses this energy the more one can serve world society. Those that are weak forget working for others' welfare he shall not be able to advance himself also. In a certain sense a weak minded person is a sinner since on noting his weakness it incites others to harass and oppress him. It is said that the father of oppression is weakness. On seeing a coward an oppressive person's daring increases hence cowardice and weakness is said to be a sin. It is hence that weakness gets punished by nature and Almighty God. From all around he faces harassment. Yogi of Energy knows this well hence he ceaselessly performs spiritual austerities to amass more and more divine energy.
Great scriptures opine that man's intellect should be like demigods and energy that of demons. Those not possessing energy akin to that of demons cannot be called a total complete person. Lest gentlemanliness is conjoined to untold energy it is sign of foolishness and cowardice. Great is he who is gentlemanly in mind and conjoined to energy and externally an all round gentleman. The ideal of a Yogi of Energy is this very supremacy since they have an intellect as divine akin to demigods and they adorn themselves with energy of demigods. It is most required that energy is conjoined to truth. In the English language there is a saying 'Right is might therefore might is right'. Truth itself is energy and hence energy is truth. A Yogi of Energy believes in this thoroughly and as per his state via many methods gathers energy for many great tasks.
CHAPTER 14
YOGA OF PRANA OR VITAL FORCE
Bhargeti pranayogena jayate bhargasadhana.
Taya prana vasham yanti na tada sarvamapnuyat…….. (12)
From the word Bharga we come to know that the spiritual practice of Bharga is carried out via Prana Yoga. Also via this spiritual practice of Bharga our Prana or vital force comes under our mastery and thus man can attain just about anything.
Via the word Bharga Yoga of Vital Force is indicated. Bharga is called radiant aura. It is Prana that is the light manifestation of living beings called Pranis. Since Prana predominates, the word Prani came into being. The more a living being manifests Prana he is full of that much specialties, enterprising, supreme, well advanced and great. The lesser the Prana in any creature the more weak, useless, fallen down and lethargic it is.
The meaning of augmenting vital force is that we fill that divine principle within us, via which man's energies advance in various directions. Prana is called life force too. Via it our life span can increase or decrease. Death can be pushed afar. Bhishma Pitamaha of epic Mahabharat fame had staved off death for 6 months. The children of people full of radiant life force are beautiful, healthy, lovely aura, active and live long lives. The sperm of majority of people with weak vital force gets drained away to naught. Even if somehow such a mother becomes pregnant the child born is ugly, handicapped, ill, lethargic foolish and lives a short life.
The chief identity of a man imbued with strong vital force is his radiant personality. The face of a man with intense life force shines radiantly, speech is powerful, strong and effective, his thoughts shall have practical intelligence, he shall be farsighted discrimination and his working style shall be profound. His inner nature oozes with patience, daring, steadfastness and power of endurance. Where vital force is weak such people reek of fear, restlessness, hollowness, cowardice, narrow mindedness, stingy, selfishness, hopelessness, stress, worry, lethargy etc. Such people day after day head towards a downfall in life both materially and spiritually.
For augmenting and nourishing Prana that is the leading element of life in the Bharga word of Super Mantra Galati a divine command has been given.
For augmenting Prana, Pranayam is very helpful. Vital force increases via pure food and regular eating, well managed daily routine, stress and worry free mind, happy psyche and celibacy. Apart from this via Yogic Pranayam can be increased greatly.
There are many detailed books on Pranayam. In a book written by me called 'Asan aur pranayam' many types of Pranayam have been described. All of these are very beneficial. In my book called 'Prana chikitsa vijnan' in great detail I have written about gathering vital force and method of not only curing your own disease but can cure others too. Readers by reading both these books can get a lot of information about Science of Prana (vital force). Below we shall describe an easy method to attract and imbibe vital force. Despite it being very easy in order to increase vital force in comparison to other methods that are difficult this one is more beneficial. This method is being given below.
Go to a place that has solitude. After placing a soft sheet on ground that is even lie down on your back. The face should be upwards. Your legs, waist, chest, head etc should be in one line. Both hands should by on the Surya Chakra or Solar Wheel (it is that area of the stomach where the ribs and stomach meet) and close your mouth. Relax your entire body as though it is inert like any material object and that you do not have any relationship with it. By imbibing the attitude of relaxation for sometime the body will become very flexible. Now slowly start inhaling air via your nose and with firm energy imbibe the feeling that from the cosmic great storehouse of vital force I am imbibing clean Prana Energy. This vital force after circulating in my blood circulation system and all nerve networks is getting focused on the Surya Chakra or Solar Wheel. In the world of imagination imbibe this attitude so firmly that electricity like rays of Prana Energy via the nostrils are rushing into my body that is being seen by me akin to a movie. The circulation of blood and nerve network appears like a painting and in it one can see vital force flowing like a stream. The more your sentiments are sacred the more you can imbibe Prana Energy. Fill your lungs fully with air and stop breathing for 5-10 seconds. In the initial stage 5 seconds is enough but later when your spiritual practice advances increase it to 10 seconds. At the time of stopping breathing you must experience that vital force has filled your lungs immensely. Now exhale air from your mouth slowly. While you exhale experience that all your bodily taints, diseases and venom are coming out along with it. For 10 seconds remain without any air and then again start the Pranakarshan Pranayam as described above. We must remember that the root principle of this Pranayam is not meant for inhaling and exhaling air
but is in that feeling of attraction according to which we actually visualize like a movie that Prana is filling up our entire being.
In this activity of inhalation-exhalation the time taken at first should be 10 minutes and after that slowly increase to half an hour. A special sentiment should be harbored that Prana inhaled with air is gathering in the Surya Chakra or Solar Wheel. Lest while exhaling air one imagines letting out Prana that was attracted within the entire process shall be an exercise in futility and no benefit shall be accrued. If you do Pranakarshan Pranayam systematically the Surya Chakra or Solar Wheel shall get activated. It seems as though the hollow area where ribs join in the stomach area a small light mass akin to the sun is being witnessed by the mental eye. This round ball appears small in the beginning that has little light and appears foggy. But the more your spiritual practice advances it starts appearing clearer, clean, bigger and becomes more and more illumined. Those whose practice is much more intense the moment they shut their eyes they visualize the Surya Chakra or Solar Wheel like a brilliant sun. This illumined principle truly is Prana Energy. Via its energy even very difficult tasks attain extraordinary success.
After finishing the practice get up and sit. You shall experience blood circulation quickening in speed and that lightning has spread in the entire body. After finishing the practice for some time you must sit in an area of solitude. And if it is possible eat some wholesome food and drink. After getting up from your practice start doing some tough task. Do not bathe, eat food or involve yourself in sexual activities.
CHAPTER 15
EIGHT TYPES OF PRANAYAM OR YOGIC BREATHING EXERCISES
By itself there are many types of Pranayam but 8 amongst them are very useful. One part of an article penned by Swami Krishnanandji in the magazine called Sahyogi Kalyan good light has been thrown on it.
1) ANULOM VILOM PRANAYAM:
Sitting in Padmasan or Sidhasan posture by doing Rechak in the left nostril after doing Moolbandh do Poorak. After this by doing Jalandhar Bandh do Kumbhak. Finally relaxing the Jalarbandh and doing Uddiyan Bandh from the right nostril slowly do Rechak. Again doing external Kumbhak do Poorak from the right nostril. Then depending on inner strength after doing Kumbhak do Rechak from the left nostril. In this manner 2 Panayams are completed. After doing external Kumbhak for 1 second, repeat the previously done. In this manner totally 10 Panayams should be done. After this daily increasing 5 more Pranayams in 1 week it should add up to 40. At the time of doing Kumbhak one must chant the Mantra of his icon deity. Kumbhak should never be done less, more etc i.e. it must be done in a disciplined manner. At the time of doing Pranayam the body should be relaxed, straight and unmoving. Keep your eyes closed. If you wish to do Rechak and Poorak from the right nostril the index finger of the right hand and little last finger should be placed on the left nostril. Similarly if you wish to do Rechak and Poorak from the left nostril, shut the right nostril with the thumb of the left hand.
If in the starting stage you cannot do Kumbhak for 16.5 seconds then do it for lesser time as is in your capacity. Never insist on doing Kumbhak for excess time. The time of Kumbhak must be increased in the time frame of seconds. In this manner in about 3-4 months you shall enter the middle stage of Pranayam. After practicing for 3-4 months more you shall enter the 1st class stage of Pranayam. After that, think about other types of Pranayam in accordance with time, place and nature. After completing 1st class stage of Pranayam one can practice Khechri. Due to practice of Khechri Kumbhak increases quite fast.
Certain teachers after finishing 40 types of Pranayams regularly from lower stage Kumbhak itself start practicing Mahamudra, Mahabandh and Mahavedh. Due to Mahavedh very quickly the Prana principle gets uplifted but this is possible only for very strong sturdy people. For weak people it is quite dangerous. We are not giving details of Mudra here because it would mean voluminous writing.
Both in the mrning and evening same Kriyas must be practiced but if you are tired do a little of it at night. If you wish to do Asan and Vipareetkarni Mudra do it in the morning before you do Pranayam. Do not do Asan and Vipareetkarni Mudra in the evening. In fact practice of Vipareetkarni Mudra at night is said to be very detrimental.
2) SURYABHEDI PRANAYAM:
At first, after doing Rechak do Poorak from the Surya Naadi or right nostril. Then after doing Kumbhak do Rechak from Chandra Naadi or left nostril. In this type of Pranayam too you must do Jalandar Bandha etc as mentioned previously. Such a type of Pranayam is called Suryabhedan Pranayam. In Anulom Vilom from both nostrils Rechak and Poorak is done but in this Pranayam only 1 poorak in
right nostril and one Rechak in left nostril is done. This then is the difference between both.
Since the right lung is connected to the liver via this Pranayam bile increases in the body along with heat also. Hence the onrush of Vaatwind and Kuf-phlegm calms down. Phlegm in the forehead, distortions vessels carrying air, blood problems, skin problems, stomach germs, germs from perspiration and microbes emerging from leprosy and other diseases get destroyed. It is not correct to do this Pranayam in hot summer. It is not good for people whose bile predominates.
3) UJJAYI PRANAYAM:
By lowering your face a bit making sound from the throat to the heart help wind enter the lungs. In this manner inhale air in small measure from both nostrils simultaneously. After doing Poorak and Kumbhak for 4-5 seconds do Rechak from the Ida Naadi. In this Pranayam Rechak, Poorak and Kumbhak are executed in small measure only. In this it is not compulsory to do Jalandar Bandha etc. This Pranayam can be practiced while sitting, walking, standing or in sleeping position i.e. in Shavasan. When due to bodily distortion other types of Pranayam are not possible to perform this Pranam can be practiced. When due to bodily distortion other types of Pranayam are not possible to perform or id time is not conducive do Ujjayi Pranayam for one hour.
With the help of this Pranayam diseases related phlegm, stomach, water collecting in the stomach, less hunger, indigestion, flesh and obstruction of stools getting excreted and bodily heat gets ignited.
4) SHITKARI:
By sticking out your tongue from between the teeth up to the lips inhaling air is called Shitkari Pranayam. In this Pranayam wind comes in via the use of the tongue. In it after doing Kumbhak for 4-5 seconds do Rechak from both nostrils slowly. In this too Bandha practice is not required but if you want to do Kumbhak for more time it is mandatory to do Bandha.
Via this bile can be produced by the liver. Due to this hunger, thirst, sleep and harassment of lethargy can be stopped. The more the irate bile calms down the more our body becomes radiant. Due to air of Poorak Prana Energy imbibes more strength. Hence the body does not become weak.
5) SHITALI:
Sticking your tongue out about 1 thumb size outside the lips rendering it like a beak of a bird attract air from outside. Then after doinf a bit of Kumbhak do Rechak slowly from both nostrils. This procedure is called Shitali Pranayam. Diseases like that of excretion, spleen, stomach, diohhroea, constipation, bile increase, burns, sour bile, blood bile, hunger, thirst, hysteria etc are overcome. For 1/2 an hour both in the morning and evening this should be practiced. In cold winter and those people whose phlegm amount is more must refrain from doing it.
6) BHASTRA:
Seated in the lotus posture or Padmasan, via the left nostril, do Poorak of Pranayam with speed. Without doing Kumbhak making soft noise do Rechak from the right nostril. Akin to the hammer of an iron smith after doing Rechak-Poorak 8 times with speed during the 9th time after doing Poorak do Kumbhak and do firm Jalandhar Bandha. Then from the right nostril do Rechak slowly. Before doing Rechak undo Jalandhar Bandha and instead do Uddiyan Bandha. Later after doing external Kumbhak for 3 seconds via the above procedure do Rechak from the left nostril 8 times. For the 9th time after doing Poorak from the right nostril do Kumbhak. After this do Rechak properly. These then are 2 Pranayams. In this manner do 12 Pranayams one after another.
Due to this Pranayam Kumbhak increases a lot but do not do this Pranayam a lot because if you do so there is fear of banging in the lung region. Via this Pranayam diseases related to bile, phlegm and wind get cured. The bodily fire increases a lot. All dirt of the Sushumna Naadi gets destroyed. After piercing the Brahmagranthi, Vishnugranthi and Rudragranthi (psychic complexes) from the Sushumna Prana principle rises higher like a bird flying higher up in the sky.
7) BHRAMRI:
After sitting in Sidhasan posture close your eyes and focusing between the eyebrows do Jalandhar Bandha. In this Pranayam Jalandhar Bandha should be adhered to strictly. Then through the nostrils ain to sound made by a buzzing bee do Poorak along with the buzzing sound. Then doing Kumbhak for 3 seconds slowly along with the sound do Rechak. In this manner do this Pranayam for 144 times. It is heard of that in the Buddhist sect Bhramari and unconscious Kumbhak are quite in vogue. In this Kumbhak there are 5 stages. In
the 1st stage after doing Poorak at the time of doing Kumbhak Mahamudra is done. After doing Kumbhak for 3 seconds again seated in Siddhasan Rechak is done. First via the left leg, then via the right leg and then after spreading both legs this Pranayam is done. There is a difference between Mahamudra done with other Pranayams and Mahamudra done during Bhramari. Some devotees do this Mahamudra 48-72 times. Hence after 1 year 6 inches ahead of the knee and 60 inches above the ankle bone one touches the forehead.
After gaining success in the 1st stage in the 2nd stage after doing Khechri Kumbhak of 6 seconds is done and as per the method at one phase of time moving the head in a round manner from left to the right direction and doing Jalandhar Bandha Rechak is practiced. Via this method in 144 Kumbhaks 144 times the head has to be moved. In this manner in the 3rd, 4th and 5th stage Kumbhak is increased and the head is also moved for more time. Due to this circular head movement it seems as though Prana principle is rotating in all directions. After doing this Pranayam Naad (sound) is emitted very loudly. Thus the psyche gets focused quite quickly.
8) MURCCHA:
After completion of Brahmari practice seated in Siddhasan doing Poorak via both nostrils Jalandhar Bandha should be executed. Afterwards place on both ears, eyes, nostrils and mouth the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger in that order and do Kumbhak for 6 seconds. Later relax the ring finger placed on the nostril while doing Jalandhar Bandha; slowly do Rechak in both nostrils. If you conjoin Murccha to other Pranayams, Kumbhak increases. But Rechak is done from both nostrils. For more Kumbhak Uddiyan Bandha is done and at the time of Rechak Jalandhar Bandha is removed.
At the time of Rechak with closed eyes one can see Prana principle between the eye brows in the form of white, blue, black and red light. After doing this Pranayam once, seated in Bhramari Sidhasan posture and lying down in Shavasan like other Pranayam one can do Naad Yoga.
CHAPTER 16
SAHAJ YOGA
Devasyetipadam tasya divyayogasya bodhakam.
Sadhakam manavam yogo divyatam pradadati yaha.
The term Devasya connotes that Yoga of Divinity that bestows divinity on that person doing spiritual practice.
The term Devasya of Super Mantra Gayatri commands that man's sentiments be rendered divine. Even if man lives the most ordinary life or like worldly people does some task or another, but if his sentiments are divine his ordinary actions also become a Yajna. This divinization of sentiments is called Yoga of Action in the Bhagwad Geeta scripture. In the path of spiritual practice it is called Yoga of Divinity. The great Saint Kabir calls it Sahaj Yoga. The terms Yoga of Divinity and Sahaj Yoga is different in name only but its underlying truth is one only. While praising the deep import of Sahaj Yoga Saint Kabir says:
Tan ko jogi sab karein mana ko karey na koyi.
Sab siddhi "sahajai" payiye jo man jogi hoyi.
In the above couplet he has hinted about attaining all Divine Powers via Sahaj Yoga. What exactly is Sahaj Yoga? A bit of information can be got from the above couplet itself. Rendering the mind a Yogi itself is Sahaj Yoga. In this Yoga rendering the body a Yogi and adorning it with clothes etc of aYogi is strongly opposed. Instead it is emphasized that the mind be rendered a Yogi. Via the body like Kabir doing a weaver's job, while woking as a cobbler like Saint Raidas, doing business like Tuladhar, like King Janak despite ruling a kingdom man's mind can be rendered a Yogi. Man despite wearing ordinary clothes, doing ordinary jobs can follow the path of Sahaj Yoga.
This spiritual practice is not so difficult. It is natural for any person in any state. Keeping this fact in mind it is called Sahaj Yoga. Unnatural, not required, falsehood, non beneficial and inapt things are always difficult, inaccessible and requires lots of hard work. But that which is natural, most
required, true and beneficial are Sahaj or easy to attain. In life what are most required are air, then water, then food and then clothes. Based on requirements they are available in optimal measure. Air is spread out everywhere in unlimited measure because without it we cannot remain alive for even a few minutes. It is attained so easily that we do not even know about it and thousands of tons of air enter our body and them gets evicted out daily. A little bit down the ladder comes water; without water we may be able to live for a couple of days hence availability of water in comparison to air is that much more difficult to attain. Although it is not sold yet in order to avail it we have to go to wells, lakes etc and a bit of difficulty have to be endured. Food comes third. Without food a person can live for about 10-20 days hence more efforts are required to procure it. Even so in comparison to other materials produced in the entire world it is done so much more and it can be got from all regions. The 4th number is that of clothes. Hence it is more expensive than food. In this manner the more anything in life is required and is true its attainment is easier. What is dangerous is less available. Cow, buffalo, goat etc that give milk products and other useful animals are seen in huge herds but violent creatures like lion, cobra etc are there in very small numbers. They lie hidden in far off places. Not everyone can see them and it is that rare hunter or snake charmer that can succeed in searching them. It is easy to procure sugar, salt, milk, fruits, vegetables etc but harmful materials like arsenic, Halahal poison, other drugs etc are not easily available. I order to get them a lot of danger and hardship has to be endured.
Honesty is easily followed but to rob special daring is required. There is no problem I talking honestly but one who keeps lying has to be very alert. In behaving in a goodwill manner no shrewdness is required but in order to succeed in vile acts extraordinary cunningness is required. Simple beneficial food can be got easily but to cook food that is not easy to digest more time, money and shrewdness is required. The joyous result of sunlight, rain and winter are got eternally but storm, earthquake and other natural calamities occur on those rare occasions only. This is a solid truth that apt, most required and beneficial elements have been created by Almighty God in ample measure but he has rendered useless things very difficult to attain.
That Yoga which is required, apt and truly beneficial must be easily accessible as per norms given above. Any Yoga method that is not much required, complex, mysterious and revolutionary must be looked upon as useless and against the wish of Almighty God. The spiritual seer Saint Kabir placed before all lay people the principle of this great truth. He has clarified
that Yoga is easily accessible or Sahaj. Via spiritual practice of this Sahaj Yoga a devotee can attain all Sidhis or Divine Powers.
The spiritual practice of this Sahaj Yoga is to render the mind a great Yogi. Yoga means to unite and join. The procedure of true Yoga is to render the mind great, Prana into great Prana, the soul into Almighty God, the microcosm into macrocosm and selfishness into world welfare. On recognizing one's Existence-Consciousness-Bliss nature, the living soul identifies its true inner nature and awakens in his role of spirituality, his life's viewpoint changes. Those who awaken to their imperishable soul form they experience their gross body to be like clothes. Just as in comparison the benefits-loss of clothes we give more importance to the benefits-loss of our body similarly a person having awakened to his imperishable soul form man by not giving much importance to bodily benefits-loss, joy-sorrow, upliftingdemeaning and wealth-sorrow zealously emphasizes on the welfare of the soul.
By conjoining the mind to the heart, the intellect to the psyche man's inner viewpoint changes and his standpoint becomes something else. From the viewpoint of benefits-loss of the human body immersed in being a non Yogi, being bound to spiritual darkness and facing the vicious cycle of birth-death man thinks about everything and then acts in accordance with it. But a person with a Yogi's intellect keeping in mind the benefits-loss of the soul carries out his thinking and all its actions. People with strong bodily identification experiences pleasure in material sense merriment and they yearn for tasty food, entertainment, dance, singing, instruments, sexual union, clothes, ornaments, palace, cars, servants, wealth etc when these increase there is pleasure when they decrease there is sorrow. While trying to attain them he even forgets to discriminate whether they are apt or inapt. He will make efforts that maybe ethical or unethical in getting them. But the viewpoint of a true Yogi is entirely different. He does not see joy in enjoying sense objects or make organizations of worldly sects. A Yogi harboring faith that 'I am the imperishable soul' will experience happiness in what is apt and inapt for his soul. The body likes Rajas and the soul adores Sattva Guna. In the actions of a person immersed in his soul Sattva Guna predominates. He imbibes wholesome actions and great qualities. His speech oozes with love, kindness, sympathy, generosity, humility and sweetness. His actions gush forth with a sense of humble service to all. His viewpoint overflows with selfless service. He enacts every task with a sense of humble service, sense of righteous duty and Yajna sentiments. The value of any action is based on one's type of sentiments harbored. The form of actions executed with Yajna
sentiments from the external standpoint maybe of any type yet its fruit is that of Yajna variety. Even a small action executed with a sense of humble service gives huge meritorious boons. Similarly great tasks of superficial quality done with vile thinking reap sins only.
Sahaj Yoga verily is Sahaj or easily accessible. In this there is no problematic procedures of vows, fasting, Neti, Dhauti, Basti, Nyoli, Kapalbhati, Asan, Pranayam etc. Over here only the mind is required to latch on to the heart. At one place Kabir Saheb his written that the living being is at a distance of 24 thumb measure from Almighty God. The head is 24 thumbs away from the heart. The moment this distance is traveled on finishing this journey one enters the portals of heaven. Based on the call, command etc of the heart and psyche the mind and intellect must function accordingly. The desires of the mind and heart instead of remaining separate must instead become one. Whatever activity is done by man, if the psyche and soul's selfless and choice predominates that task becomes Yajna incarnate. Every act of a Yajna type is equivalent to the spiritual practice of Yoga. While executing it man attains desired success and the state of God-Self Realization.
The predominant process of this Sahaj Yoga is to 'render the mind a Yogi'. Its method of spiritual practice involves rendering ourselves within very awakened and full of soul awareness. 'I am the imperishable soul, my body is merely like clothes we wear whatever I shall do shall be to benefit the soul'. This sacred sentimental Mantra must be repeated uninterrupted in the psyche and with a sharp vision we must self introspect as to whether it is conducive the sacred sentiments of thought and actions carried out. Lest there is some obstacle or some fault in it then by becoming very alert immediately make efforts to correct that flaw. In this manner while ceaselessly doing self introspection and by imbibing in great measure good will, good qualities and carrying out great tasks slowly in a short time span this thinking by becoming firm shall become a great habit. At that time man will feel this Sahaj Yoga to be as easy as a mundane person feels his daily routine tasks to be ordinary.
One with a true heart makes his mind a Yogi, one that conjoins the intellect to the soul is a true Sahaj Yogi, great saint and man of great austerities. It is he who is loved by Almighty God and attains him too. This is even though his profession and clothing are ordinary.
Saint Kabir says:
Sain son sancha raho, sain sanch suhai.
Bhave lamb kesh rakhi, bhavai mund mudaya.
CHAPTER 17
THE STATE OF A STHITA PRAJNA OR GOD REALIZED PERSON
The root of Sahaj Yoga is 'simple living and high thinking'. The states of detached like a lotus leaf in water, unattached, Sthita Prajna and one immersed in the atman or soul is this only. Instead of rendering your viewpoint material in nature making it spiritual and thinking of each thing from the spiritual standpoint and acting in accordance with it is the state of a Sahaj Yogi. One must remain awakened towards one's nature, desire, aspiration mode of working in a minute manner so that no problem comes up that goes against one's standpoint of life. This in itself is the Anushthan (method) of Sahaj Yoga. Ceaselessly each moment one must fight one's inner enemies, tainted thoughts, bad sentiments and vile desires and taking recourse to good feelings, good thinking and great activities.
Sahaj Yoga is Sahaj or easier to follow from this standpoint that there is no complexity like hanging upside down, lighting bon fires, leaving home and wearing strange clothes or eating via begging for food. Akin to an ordinary person while doing business, eating-resting habits and following one's lifestyle everyone in any state can do Sahaj Yoga but via that viewpoint it is difficult in the sense that one has to remain aware each moment of life. One does not get success merely by practicing it for half or 1 hour. After every few minutes one has to witness by focusing on the soul that the mode of working and thinking process is trending in the correct direction or not. When armies fight each other the aides and officers of the army general seated at a height view from the binoculars how their army facing the attack of the enemy camp soldiers is fairing. It is these witnessing officers that give details of the war to their general. In accordance with this information the general designs programs like asking his soldiers to march forward, defeat the enemy etc. In this manner the intellect of a follower of Sahaj Yoga akin to a minutely witnessing army officer along with total awareness and cautiousness keeps noting mentally as to how Sattvik and Tamasik soldiers are executing their task. This information is given by him to the general called the psyche and in accordance with it this general makes programs based on way to attain
victory in this particular spiritual practice. Ultimately sweet success is attained.
This task certainly is not to be done hastily, not like making a quick buck or like placing a mustard seed on the palm. It takes time for actions to bear fruits. A seed sown takes time to sprout and bear fruits. Uncooked food placed in a pot above fire gets cooked after a certain length of time. A student after studying for a fair length of time becomes a graduate. One becomes an adept wrestler only after practicing in a gymnasium for a long period of time. Right from starting some work till it gets completed many obstacles have to be faced. Many times bad days have to be faced and situations of hopelessness stare at us. Despite this if patiently ceaseless efforts are made a time comes when success is accrued.
In the initial stage of Sahaj Yoga it so happens that the devotee makes efforts to render his thinking and actions Sattvik, high stature, sacred and leaning towards true spirituality but sometimes such a stormy situation that all his efforts go down the drain. Sometimes our past lifetimes' sorrow reeks forth and due to greed the devotee strays away from the well defined path he was walking on. When some allurement or occasion arises the devotee thinks as to let me eat some tasty item and I will do it just once. On seeing the enticement bang in front of him, seeing the food served in a plate the mouth starts watering. The storm of past innumerable lifetimes rushes forth with speed and thus in the daily spiritual practice followed the method and arrangements go awry and thus the devotee experiences a downfall. Apart from greed the storm of anger too arises. The devotee thinks that he shall behave humbly with everybody but sometimes when someone behaves very abominably the devotee starts fighting with him or else pays back a horrible person with the same coin. After having entered the fray of greed or wrath the devotee realizes that he has erred. He feels quite sad, experiences weakness of mind and thinks that a weak hearted person like him can never succeed in this spiritual practice. Being upset with such a hopeless situation he gives up making any further efforts.
Regarding difficulties and failure each devotee must clearly understand that one cannot totally eradicate greed etc merely in the preliminary stages of spiritual practice. One cannot ward off habits of so many past lifetimes merely in 1 day. Sequentially and slowly they become alright. Those that ride cycles that while learning to climb and sit on it so many times one falls down.
Swimmers know that merely by placing ones feet in water one does not become a good swimmer. Instead after undergoing so much drowning, one masters the art of swimming. Due to their mistake students daily get rebuked by their teachers but does any student give up studying thinking that he is making mistakes everyday and that daily he faults in front of the teacher. Despite making mistakes daily a student continues his studies ceaselessly. He forgets his mistakes and remembers success reaped. When a student gets 90% he jumps up in joy and everyone praises him. No doubt this student had made mistakes and that 20% of his answers to question were error prone. Hence for this 20% failure he can be called a dull, dolt, foolish, caution less, incapable but despite these mistakes the student does not despair and none others demean him. In comparison to mistakes he gave us evidence of his mental awareness and alertness. The pan of success was heavier than that of failure. It certainly is praiseworthy that this much happened in this way. Hence those who get more than 50% in their exams are said to have passed it. He is patted on his back and praised a lot.
Devotees must take a leaf out of the books of such students. When small children do not get scared of failure, they do not lose their bravery, they do not get cowered down by defeat, despair, fear etc and instead by ignoring all mistakes made they continue with their program, can't new devotees follow suit? We must learn for every mistake made and each time, take a step forward with more caution. When you fall down stand up, removing all dust get up and again commence your task. Falling down is not shameful at all because each that climbs falls down. What is shameful is that out of fear of falling down one gives up all efforts. It is quite possible that a spiritual seeker has to ceaselessly face bad thoughts and that taints spread out in his task. Enemy psychic imprints each moment attack us but by looking upon it as a challenge make a powerful resolve to uproot them in totality. The more the resolve is balanced, serious and filled with truth the more sweet success is tasted.
1) I will not rest till I destroy these vile psychic imprints from their very foundation.
2) While increasing purity and sacredness I shall definitely reach its completion.
The above 2 resolves must be indomitable and unbreakable. There should be faith, steadfastness, trust, firmness and honesty in the above 2 aims. Lest this resolve is not diminished then by reforming every mistake, defeating daily each and every failure the devotee shall definitely reach the destined goal. One day most definitely he shall taste completeness and the state of being a Siddha.
In the inner should dwell the firm resolve of remaining immersed in sacredness and purity. I am absolute existence and I shall wean away my life from untruth and lead it to truth. I am consciousness and by keeping my life away from lethargy and indolence I shall render my soul awakened, full of awareness and active. I am divine bliss and I shall first ward off sadness and agitation I my life so as to render it dripping with fearlessness, worry free, stress free and joy-peace. This type of faith must be glued to the deep recesses of the psyche. We must allow the soul to get reinstated in ourselves. The king is a king only so long as he is on his throne but when he is dethroned, his entire honor goes down the drain. Similarly as long as the soul is in its soul sentiment he shall be called a saint, great soul, great person, leader, Guru, guide, liberated while yet alive, Yogi, Avatar, Rishi, spiritual seer, Siddha and supremely great. When he falls from this stalls from this state and gets immersed in body consciousness, does work via body consciousness, he thinks that he is the physical body he becomes sly, criminal, with sexual lust, downfallen, bound by Maya, entangled in the ocean of materialism, selfish, sinner, much hated and lowly. If some more addition takes place in this state the condition of the living being becomes viler. At that time he becomes a demon like Chandal, ghost, Asura etc.
In demigods and demons a uniform thought wave of nature is at work. All of them do spiritual practices for selfish gains. Everyone wishes to fulfill their selfish desires. A living being reinstated in his soul looking upon himself as the soul via sacred thinking and actions in order to usher in soul well being seeing this wish being fulfilled becomes active in great pious activities. Ignoring physical pleasures giving soul bliss greater importance, imbibes a working method that includes renunciation, austerities, charity, spirituality, self control, self study or introspection, compassion, love, humility, generosity, selfless service, purity etc and is hence called a demigod. Bang opposite to this that living soul who thinks he is the gross visible body out of desire to enjoy sense titillation, entertainment and bodily enticements works to amass material grandeur and wealth. Most of his energies are used for
giving pleasure to the body and hence hoards material means for this end. Under such a situation his chief activities encompass labor, hoarding, sense merriments and selfish desires. He desires to attain bodily and mundane pleasures uninterrupted. But the fact of the matter is that till date none has got all his desires satiated.
It is an error to try and satiate impossible desires and this mistake is called Sham or Maya. A living being is said to be bound by Maya when he looks upon bodily greed as the be all and end all of life. When this Maya intensifies, blinded by very strong desire of bodily type, ignoring the discipline of righteousness works so hard in order to amass sense pleasure based materials. Thus his tasks reek with oppression, kidnapping, fraud, hypocrisy, materialism, falsehood, robbery, violence, rape, extramarital sex, ego, hard heartedness etc and such a person are called inhuman beasts.
In the psyche of demigods, people bound by Maya and human ghosts only one thought rules viz. selfishness based practices. Each person desires his own joy, his own welfare and his own advancement. The activities of all three are executed with one type of inspiration only. The difference is only that of soul state and bodily state. Those reinstated in soul sentiments their selfishness is praised as being selflessly spiritual. The selfishness of people bound by Maya is called selfishness only and it is rebuked by others. Those that are human ghosts their selfishness is termed ghastly and utter hatred is spewed on them. The lay public opposes and destroys it. Those that are truly spiritual in nature they experience divine bliss. A living being remain restless due to greed and selfish desires and human ghosts are immersed in worry, tension and burn in varied types of pain.
Definitely there is bliss in the soul state and bodily identification is full of sorrow. Hence in order to imbibe in order to imbibe true happiness and selfishness we must make efforts to get reinstated in the soul arena. This effort is called Sahaj Yoga. Despite facing difficulties and failure time and again we must continue with this spiritual practice. A person with a firm resolve some day or the other definitely reaches the desired goal.
CHAPTER 18
SAHAJ SAMADHI OR TRANCE
Saint Kabir says:
Sadho! Sahaj Samadhi bhali.
Guru pratap bhayo ja din se, surati na anat chali.
Ankh na mundu kan na rundu kaya kashta na dharun.
Khule nayan se hans hans dekhun sunder rupa niharun.
Kahun soi nam, sunu soi sumiran, khaun soi puja.
Griha udyan ek sam lekhun bhav mitaun duja.
Jahan jahan jaun soi parikrama jo kacchu karun so seva.
Jab soun tab karun dandvat pujun aur na deva.
Shabda nirantar manua rata malin vasana tyagi.
Baithat uthat kabaun na bisrein aisi tadi lagi.
Kahein 'Kabir' yaha unmani rahenisoi prakat kar gayi.
Dukh such ke ek pare param such tehi such raha samayi.
In the above verse Saint Guru Kabir has clarified regarding the state of Sahaj Samadhi or divine trance while one is in the waking state. This Samadhi is natural, anyone can access it and it is in the energy of spiritual practice of all people. Hence he termed it Sahaj Samadhi or divine trance. The spiritual practices of Hath Yoga, Raja Yoga, Laya Yoga, Naada Yoga, Bindu Yoga etc are quite tough to follow. While practicing these reaching the state of trance is extraordinarily full of hardships. It is not easy at all for everyone to do penance for so many years and the hardship filled spiritual practice of piercing the 6 Chakras. In front of an adept Guru these processes have to be executed with utmost caution. If this practice stops midway dangerous situations can stare at them. This is akin to terrible situations faced by Yoga Brashtas. Saint Kabir gives predominance to Sahaj Yoga. The essence of this Yoga is living a principled life and programs full of righteousness. Generally people schedule their program reeking with sense merriment, beastly thinking, desires, anger, greed and lowly deluded aspirations.
ď ś Hoarding wealth ď ś Fulfilling egoistic desires
Entertainment Sexual union Tasty food Nourishing deluded attachment Yearning to hoard as much as possible
A life that moves on the axis of these 7 desires is said to be a life of fleeting sense titillation. Those who are surrounded by this small periphery and limit their thinking and actions to it are in material bondage. Great Yogis overcoming this limitation march ahead in life. By uplifting themselves from the above childhood state enter the portals of spiritual youth. Yogis go beyond the lowly state of fleeting sense titillation and hence they are said to be liberated while yet alive.
The life of true Yogis oozes with sacred high stature ideals or we can say that that those whose life drips forth with ideals and principles are true Yogis. Those that do not get inspired by lowly desires and selfish yearnings, those that have stopped giving importance to lowly desires and by standing on the balance of sacred ideals and principles execute life's activities are true Yogis. This is the foundation of Yoga. Further means, practice are gross and of different types. Their mode of working is different. Despite these differences the root precept of all spiritual practices is one only.
Sahaj Yoga is one amongst many Yoga based practices. Its specialty is that apart from leading normal mundane lifestyle their spiritual practices too continue side by side. This can also be said in this way that akin to daily living, worldly actions also become spirituality oriented. A Sahaj Yogi executes tasks with the viewpoint of righteous duty, Yajna, religion and God's divine commands. While eating food his attitude inculcates the idea that in order to render competent the human body whose substratum Almighty God food is eaten by him. While choosing what to eat the goal is to render the
body healthy and just does not pay attention to the tongue's demand of tasty foods that titillate our taste buds. While nurturing his family he focuses on watering and inducing growth of his family looking upon it as a divinely beautiful garden of Almighty God. He does not look upon his family as wealth but merely feels life's earnings as a boon of God in order to fulfill family requirements. Wealth for him is a sacred means to look after his family. In order to become rich he has no desire to do so by using fair or foul means. Before doing any task like conversing, walking, talking, eating, drinking, sleeping, waking up, earning money, love, hatred etc giving predominance to spirituality, righteousness etc all his activities even if they are ordinary become Yajna in form.
When in every task has the attitude of righteous duty then in it Punya or meritorious deeds shall remain predominant. Via tasks done with a sacred brain and goodwill towards all, not only this person but others also attain joy and peace. Such great tasks give salvation or Mukti and never lead to bondage. Along with sacredness, good will and a sense of selfless service on managing one's life that ethics and mode of working is mastered by him. Whatever is diligently practiced becomes dear to us and one gets joy in doing so. Addiction materials that have a bad taste, is very expensive, directly harmful as also alcohol, wine, tobacco and drugs is liked by us in a few days itself. And despite facing a lot of hardships one cannot give up these vile addictions. When such Tamasik materials due to imbibing for certain period of time become so dear there is no reason why Sattvik materials become much more beloved than them.
By rendering sacred principles as the foundation of human life, executing ones thinking and actions in accordance with it the soul masters the art of remembering the existence principle. The more this practice matures to fruition the more one feels Sahaj Yoga to be blissful and one gets joy in it. When with more firmness, faith, trust, zest and bravery he gets immersed in existence, principle based management of life it becomes its permanent thought. He is zealous regarding it and a shadow of divine onrush surrounds him. His ecstasy, joy and satiation remains extraordinary. This state is called Samadhi of Sahaj Yoga or Sahaj Samadhi.
Saint Kabir has described the above Samadhi or trance in the above verse. He says:
O ascetics! Sahaj Samadhi is supreme. From the day I accessed Guru's divine grace I attained this state. Since that day my inner yearning did not head to any other realm. My psyche did not go haywire. I do not do any spiritual practice like hardship bestowing efforts like closing the eyes, shutting the ears and doing Hatha Yoga. I keep my eyes open and laughingly I visualize the Lord's divine creation. What I say is chanting the holy name or Japa. What I hear is remembering Almighty God. What I eat and drink is worship. I feel my home and a thick forest to be the same. I thus delete my attitude of Dwaita or duality. Wherever I go there is God and whatever I do is selfless service. When I sleep, that is full length prostrations. I do not worship other gods by giving up the one Almighty God. By giving up tainted desires from my mind I get immersed in the divine sound and celestial voices of God in my psyche. I am so zealous about steadfastness that while walking and sitting it is never forgotten by me. Saint Kabir says that this zeal of mine is a state devoid of joy-sorrow. It has been sung after manifesting it. Beyond worldly joy-sorrow there is supreme bliss which I am fully immersed I it.
This Sahaj Samadhi is attained by those who are immersed in sound. By renouncing the lowly thoughts of sense enjoyment and yearning for fleeting joys those that hear divine sound that reverberate each moment in the psyche, sees divine hints while walking in the direction of truth and in order to make it his life's principle these Sahaj Yogis immersed in divine sound attains that supreme bliss and joy of Sahaj Samadhi. Since his aim is very high it is dependent on divine inspiration. Hence all his tasks become meritorious. Just as toys made of sugar can have any name and form they shall be sweet only in taste. Similarly work done with goodwill and a proper goal may look anything from the external form point of view but they will be Yajna and meritorious in form. All tasks of people immersed in truth, even small actions to the extent like walking, sleeping, eating and seeing too become acts of worshiping Almighty God.
People walking on the path of spirituality with a desire to attain eternal bliss of Samadhi via very minor efforts must render their life's viewpoint based on high stature goals. They must design their daily routine on the basis of a principled standpoint. By going higher up from sense merriment they must get reinstated in faith in Yoga practices. Anyone progressing in this direction to any extent, they shall get the nectarine taste of Samadhi or trance in accordance with the progress made.
CHAPTER 19
YOGA OF BHAKTI OR DEVOTION TO GOD
Ya mahimavati bhaktihi saiva dheemahi prochyate.
Anvopi tatha nunam vibhutamadhiyanti hi.
That which is supremely great devotion to God that itself is called brain oriented. Via it the atom like microcosm too becomes macrocosm.
The term Yaha of Super Mantra Gayatri points at that supremely great devotion or Bhakti that is said to be worth meditating upon using the intellect too. The greatness of devotion is limitless. For true devotion to Almighty God nothing is unattainable. The ultimate goal of human life is attaining Almighty God and the method to do so is devotion or Bhakti. Hence in the womb of Super Mantra Gayatri in Yogas embedded in it Yoga of Devotion too has its place.
The meaning of Bhakti is pure love. Loving Almighty God is true devotion. Eulogizing Almighty God is the chief part of Bhakti or devotion. By eulogizing thus the devotional principle is imbibed. This much is known by so many people but this wisdom is known by very few, that what is the real essence of Bhakti or devotion and singing eulogies. Come! Let us delve on the question as to what is the true gist of Bhakti or devotion and singing eulogies.
THE OUTLINE OF DEVOTION TO ALMIGHTY GOD:
Almighty God is all pervasive. No doubt many people know this fact but do not actually imbibe it. They do not actually practice it in day to day living. Those who actually accept that Almighty God is all pervasive and residing in every nook and corner of the cosmos, that very moment their life will become complete, sacred, sinless and without any taint of any sort. In the Bhagwad Geeta Almighty God Shri Krishna says that those that seek shelter from him, those who devote to him ceaselessly and one pointed immediately wards off all sins. Doubtlessly this is a fact. In a certain sense those who seek Almighty God's shelter, executes true devotion to him and gets reinstated in that omnipresent state is a Jivan Mukta or one liberated while yet living.
Devotion to Almighty God and a true life are 2 names for one thing. He who is a true devotee of God, who after giving up everything has surrendered his all at the hallowed feet of Almighty God, he worships and meditates on Almighty God definitely he inculcates deep faith in the cosmic presence of him. If this faith becomes steadfast that Almighty God is in every pore of the cosmos and that he is present just about everywhere then he shall never dare to sin. Say is there any robber who on seeing the police with weapons in front of him dares to rob anything. For robbery, extramarital affair, thug, unruliness, wickedness, hypocrisy, falsehood, violence etc a veil or curtain to hide it is required. Where there is a chance, none is there to catch such people executing vile activities and only there they can carry out tainted tasks. When the strong strength of men that understand, see and catch fraud very well there it is not possible to execute vile sinful tasks. Similarly those that have true faith in this precept that Almighty God is present everywhere he shall dare not carry out in vile hateful tasks.
A person doing vile actions first sees minutely as to whether there is anyone that is seeing him or about to catch him. When he is very sure that none can see his sinful acts and catch him only then he sins. Hence only those that feel that God cannot see them or catch them carry out sinful actions. The true meaning of executing sinful acts is that these people like hypocrites believe God exists but in reality deep down they deny that Almighty God does not exist. His mind harbors no faith that God is present here. Lest he did harbor true faith how would he have guts to break the laws laid down by the biggest divine Almighty God? A person who shivers a lot on seeing a peon of a police officer he cannot dare not act tainted especially when Almighty God the divine police officer of the highest cadre is right in front of him. He cannot break Almighty God's laws, rendering him wrathful or insulting God. Such daring can only be shown by he who feels all talk about Almighty God's existence is mere hearsay and a lip service. Maybe he lives in books, letters, in hermitages, temples, rivers etc or maybe even in heaven-hell but he is not present everywhere. Such a person thinks that he is not seen or can be caught by Almighty God.
Those who do not accept the all pervasive nature of Almighty God are atheists. Those who carry out vile acts either openly or in a hidden manner are to be called atheists. Amongst these atheists quite a few do not even worship-meditate on God and some do only a little bit of it. Those that do not do it they think as to what benefits are accrued by following this problematic devotion? Those that do worship-meditate on God from within are like those that do not worship-meditate on God. Instead like a business brain in the form of minting money they superficially carry out worship-meditation on God. There are so many that in the name of God earn money daily. In our country India there are such 5.6 million people that earn and carry out business in the guise of being devotees of Almighty God. Lest they show that they do not believe in God their income without much hard work that gives pomp, sense merriment etc shall not be attained by them. Hence they have to wear the garb of devotion to Almighty God just as we wear a shawl to ward of bitter cold of winter. As soon as their requirements are fulfilled they remove the shawl and fling it in some corner. These fraudulent people build a huge umbrella of God devotion in front of the lay public because the bigger it is the more is the cash earned. The moment the goal is achieved they come up with their true form and inner nature. They are shameless while sinning thus in solitude.
There is a 3rd type of atheist who does not earn wealth in the name of God in a visible manner. Instead in the name of God they use up a lot of wealth. Day in and day out they do this as though they firmly believe in God. They wear symbols of devotion to Almighty God externally on their body. In their home symbols of God are kept. Programs are made regularly viz. rites and rituals to 'worship' God. These so called devotees of God are welcomed, offered worship and gifts. All this happens so that others think well about them, respect and honor them, believe them to be religious leaders, they do not get exposed by others regarding these veiled vile intentions of theirs and even today others do not open their mouth regarding tainted acts of theirs. They want people to hide all their wrongdoings.
There is a 4th type of atheist. In order to hide his sins and not to earn wealth but to get honored and worshiped by others, in order to attain fame and faith in him he becomes a devotee of God. For this they renounce a bit and face a bit of hardship too. But within they have no faith in the cosmic all pervasive nature of Almighty God. Some worship God as a type of bribing him. They are led to that path due to desire for certain materials akin to today bribers giving a big amount of cash to a person make them act as per their whims and fancies. Thus by donating a bagful they fill up many such bags for themselves. Certain people living in an imaginary world of so called RidhiSidhis and other unseen grandeur try to attain them by knocking the doors of God's divine abode.
In this manner amongst devotees appearing to be devotees of God innumerable people are those whose mental arena is miles away from Almighty God. Their own life, home behavior and individual behavior in society are not such that appear to believe that God is present just about everywhere so as to stay away from taints and vileness. In what way can we call such people theists? Those who are more immersed in sins, the more their individual life is tainted to that extent he is an atheist. By conning people their selfish practices, scam, material pomp, Maya, hypocrisy, fear, oppressive nature, fraud and wickedness they by taking away other peoples' rights so as to become wealthy is a clear proof of atheism. Those who dare to sin cannot be a theist even though he exhibits his theism or faith in Almighty God in a big way.
To the extent a person has devotion to Almighty God he shall to that extent manifest firm faith in the all pervasive nature of God. He shall see God in
everyone in the cosmos. As soon as theism manifests man becomes pious both within and without. By seating his beloved God in everyone he shall behave with them with humility, sweetness, love, respect, selfless service, straightforwardness, purity and without any wily cunningness. A devotee for Almighty God via religious vows, fasting, austerities, pilgrimages etc endures hardships and offers to his beloved God sacred food, rice, flowers, incense, flame lamp etc. The true precept of method of worship is that the devotee himself enduring difficulties keeps offering something to Almighty God. A devotee firmly believing that God is just about everywhere puts into practice in his day to day life by doing worship based on the above precept. They do not pay any heed to their own needs. Even if any difficulty has to be endured he shall do exactly that. This is because they are hell bent on making human gods happy and peaceful. With the vow of selfless service to the world he worships God in everything in the world. The social transactions of such people ooze with purity, sanctity, sweet and generous hearted.
All rites rituals are there in worship of Almighty God so that man remembers God, sees his divine existence all around him and performs actions like a true great human being. The aim of worship, honor, prostrations, religious discourses, hymns, religious vows, fasting, pilgrimages etc is to awaken man's consciousness so that he remembers how close Almighty God is to him. Via love and faith in God resolves to serve everyone in the world and by fearing Almighty God's anger he stays far away from sinning. If any worship or meditation method does not fulfill this goal it shall all be in vain. If in any method is embedded the attitude of saving oneself from sinning and instead acts meritoriously that method is nothing but true devotion to Almighty God.
CHAPTER 20
DEVOTION AND EULOGIZING ALMIGHTY GOD
There is a verse in Garud Puran in chapter 23:
Bhaja ityeva vai dhatuhu sevayam parikirtita.
Tasmatsevabudhai prochata bhaktihi sadhan bhuyasi.
This verse says that the meaning of Bhaj prefix is selfless service hence wise people have said that Seva or selfless service is a spiritual practice of Bhakti or devotion.
The word Bhajan is created from Bhaj prefix whose clear cut meaning is selfless service. 'One must worship Almighty God'-those scriptures that have taught people this Super Mantra did so, so that people got immersed in selfless service. Bhajan is that method wherein human beings get immersed in selfless service to Almighty God. This Bhajan has many paths. Teachers of spirituality keep in mind the differences regarding place, time and inner nature made many programs of Bhajan and showcased them too. In the annals of world history whoever became immortal Vibhootis, great souls, saints, Sidhas, liberated while alive, Rishi and Avatars have all done Bhajan. But their mode of doing so was not the same. As per place, time and situations faced they have to be categorized. Despite these differences at the root no difference was allowed to enter its primordial tenet.
The method of doing Bhajan (selfless service to Almighty God) includes God's divine wish and obeying his divine commands. Servants are seen to serve their bosses in this manner only. In the government of a King thousands of workers are at work. All of them are given duties to enact. Each worker executes tasks handed over to him. One becomes a King's aide if tasks of his are done in a methodical manner. The worker's income and job status increase. They get prizes and honor based titles are given to them. A worker who does not work properly incurs the wrath of the King. Hence the workers have to pay a fine income is decreased or may even be removed from his job.
The apt place of the service of these chosen workers is in those activities that are determined for them. Servers like cook, janitor, one who fans, laundryman, gatekeeper, barber etc also live in the King's palace and they too carry out tasks given to them. But from amongst these small time
workers none thinks that the King's supreme most grace is on them. This fact too is correct. Royal ministers, finance minister, army chief, managers, chief justice etc high stature authorities that complete the King's desired goal in a well managed manner attain much more respect, honor salary and soul union. Poor workers like cook, toilet cleaner etc cannot attain all this even in their dreams.
Lest all workers of the kingdom by showcasing a dislike for jobs given to them rush to become the King's cook, janitor, one who fans, laundryman, gatekeeper, barber etc the King shall not be pleased at all and not feel comfortable too. Shall the King become pleased that thousands of cooks have cooked a massive meal and kept it on a huge table? Although all workers harbor deep love for the King and out of this love they rushed to do individual bodily service to him but such love devoid of discrimination can pose dangerous like hatred towards anybody. No wise King shall have a liking for a working process that encompasses less work done for required tasks and much more work done for non required tasks.
Almighty God is the supreme King amongst all other kings. We all are his royal workers and each one has been given an appointed task to execute. While adhering to one's duties in an apt manner we fulfill Almighty God's wish and commands. In this manner while doing true service naturally we become a beloved of his. Kings do require personal service but Almighty God does not require at all service from cooks, janitor, one who fans, laundryman, gatekeeper, barber etc God is all pervasive and cosmic, without desires and mental distortions and under such conditions he has no use at all of food, clothes, fan, light etc
Meditation, Japa, remembering Almighty God, singing hymns, religious vows, worship, rites, obeisance etc are spiritual exercises. By doing, this soul power and sacred qualities increase. For soul advancement it is required to do all this and is useful too. But merely this much is not complete Almighty God's worship and devotion or Bhakti. It is but a small portion of God devotion. True God service includes fulfilling his wishes and aspirations. His garden of flowers must be rendered greener and blooming with more colorful fragrant flowers. While doing appointed tasks, getting immersed in one's own and others' sacred progress is the supremely great solution to render Almighty God very pleased.
Hence in religious books one finds a story that a messenger of God appeared before an Islamic preaching saint. In his hand there was a big book.
The preacher asked: Brother Messenger! How is this book?
He replied: In this book the names of all names of devotees of the world are written.
The preacher asked: Is my name too listed in it?
The Messenger searched the entire book but nowhere was the preacher's name written. On hearing this the preacher felt very sad feeling that despite spending his entire life in service to God yet his name as a devotee was not mentioned in the book. After a few days another Messenger with a small book passed by that place.
The preacher asked: What is written in this small book?
The Messenger said: In it there are names of such people whom Almighty God himself serves.
The preacher was wonderstruck finding that there exist such people whom the Lord himself has to worship. The book was read and right on top was written the name of the preacher.
Saint Kabir too has said this:
Kabir man nirmal bhaya jaise ganga neer.
Peecche laPeecche lage hari firat kahat kabir-kabir.
Kabir mala na japo jihva kaho na ram.
Sumiran mera hari karein main pavon vishram.
With the wish to please Almighty God those that worship him should understand the true nature of devotion. Devotion is synonymous with selfless service. Service to Almighty God dwells in serving his walking-talking images. His garden viz. this world must be rendered beautiful-happypeaceful by making due efforts. Our righteous duty and our responsibility must be carried out like a true honest human being. Almighty God's wish and command involves destruction of unrighteousness and reinstating righteousness. One's devotion is true only if one acts in accordance to the fact that Almighty God is present in us outside us and just about everywhere in the cosmos. Only those can be called true devotees and true lovers of devotion if from the standpoint of world well being rendering one's own life super great by making zealous efforts. Thus the true aim of Yoga of Devotion is to devote to Almighty God and execute such worship as mentioned above.
CHAPTER 21
YOGA OF WISDOM OR JNANA YOGA
Dhiyashchetipadam nunamityeva karoti hi.
Kurute jnana yogo yat dhiyam vijnanashalineem.
Definitely the term Dhiya says this only that Yoga of Wisdom renders the brain knowledgeable.
Dhiya connotes Yoga of Wisdom. By itself the word brain is used for information, shrewdness and other intellect based capabilities but in the spiritual realm for knowledge, wisdom, divine intellect or Ritambhara the word brain is used. It is this that is called Yoga of Wisdom or Jnana Yoga. In the Bhagwad Geeta scripture it is called Buddhi Yoga and Jnana Yoga.
'Budhinashat pranashyati'. In the Bhagwad Geeta scripture (2/63) it is said that destruction of the brain i.e. the intellect faces a downfall. While describing the cause of destruction of the brain Lord Krishna says 'smriti
branshat budhinasho' which means that when our memory gets destroyed it becomes its cause.
It is only when the aim manifests in our mind that we get inspired to go towards the goal. Memory is of 2 types: One is fleeting memory which sometimes we remember and sometimes we do not do so and the second type of memory is that which does not get wiped away and ceaselessly remains in our mind.
The other name of memory is knowledge or Jnana. It encompasses knowing that which is forgotten. There are many things that we humans forget but mainly what we forget is our inner soul nature. Since we forget our soul nature we turn away from our spiritual energy and stray about here and there. Wherever it is egged on to go the mind goes there. Since the goal is forgotten man cannot stay in one place hence day and night he is giving up his true well being.
Before taking the human garb it has a subtle form. From the causal standpoint he is the soul, full of divine consciousness and is ExistenceConsciousness-Bliss in nature. The more this consciousness becomes denser his memory turning away from the soul latches on to the gross principle. Gross is infinite and hence the viewpoint also becomes infinite. Latching on to any one thing is not possible till inspiration is got to latch on to anything one in man's inner nature. For inspiration there is a need of the wisdom of the goal to be attained.
The very first light of conscious energy falls on the intellect. After this it goes to the mind and then the more it climbs downwards the more its grossness increases and the energy of inert matter claims its right on it.
The singer of the Bhagwad Geeta says:
Indriyani mano budhirasydhishthanamuchyate
Aitairvimohayatyesha jnanamavrityadehinam.
The sequence of manifestation of conscious energy or wisdom energy is intellect, mind and sense organs. The sense organs are centers of grossness. They are means of sense objects and hence they have infinite faces. Via these infinite faces the infinite sense objects reach the mind. The mind getting distorted with these psychic imprints renders the brain too distorted. These psychic imprints of distortions on rising above cover the rays of conscious energy or wisdom (Jnana). This distorted wisdom also called spiritual ignorance imbibes the form of forgetfulness. And it is this forgetfulness that is the cause of destruction of the intellect.
When forgetfulness or when spiritual ignorance creates its huge kingdom the emotion of sense enjoyment becomes more intensified. And in front of this intense sense titillation dwells the gross world. Hence for its satiation he stares un-winking at the gross. Forgetting the subtle due to knocking at the doors of the gross it cannot become steady at one single place. This is because the world is not singular in nature. Since it is constantly changing it is multifaceted. Since its direction and its sense enjoyment latches on to this multifaceted nature there is no steadiness in it. Hence same sightedness slips away from it.
Equanimity and disparity's state is dependent on the brain. That brain which is incapable of imbibing knowledge or conscious energy since on becoming multifaceted cannot reinstate equanimity. In order to reinstate equanimity the brain has to be made capable which means it needs to be rendered active.
Regarding these 2 categories of the brain the following has been said:
Vyavasayatmika budhirekeha kurunandana. Bahushakha hyanantashcha buddhayovyavasayinam……….2.41
An active brain is one only but an inactive brain of spiritually ignorant people is multifaceted and with many categories and it is infinite.
Later he says:
Bhogaishwaryaprasaktanam tayapahritchetasam.
Vyavasayatmika budhihi samadhau na vidhiyate………2.42
These people immersed in gross enjoyments and grandeur, have forgotten their soul nature. Hence they are incapable of reinstating in their psyche this intellect of equanimity and thus become causes of destruction.
Hence he commands:
Budhya yukto yaya partha karma bandha prahasyasi……….2.39
When the intellect is conjoined to wisdom and soul nature one gets liberation from bondage to actions. This means that we get liberation from these multifaceted thought waves.
In order to attain this intellect of equanimity Goswami Tulsidasji has imagined a flame of wisdom in the Uttarakhand section. Just as above it has been said that similarly he says that:
Ishwar asajiva avinasi.
Chetan amal sahaj sukha rasi.
This living being is a part of Almighty God hence it too is imperishable, conscious and taintless. And by nature it is blissful but:
So maya bas bhayau gosain.
It has adhered to gross material sense pleasures and other various desires, attachment etc and hence:
Jad chetanahi granth parigayi.
Inert and conscious have been tied like a knot. It means conscious energy is unable to get reinstated in inert matter. A wall has been built between them or it has been covered like a veil. Soul wisdom is not imbibed by the mind, brain and sense organs. Due to inertness a dense darkness fills up the center.
Jiva hridaya tam moha visheshi.
In the heart all around the living being a dense darkness of spiritual ignorance pertaining to deluded attachment. Hence in order to ward off this darkness there is a requirement of lighting the flame of wisdom.
The preparation of this flame of wisdom of Gosainji is full of artistic form:
Sattvik shraddha dhenu suhayi. Jo hari kripa hridaya bas ayi.
Japa tapa vrata jam niyam apara. Jey shruti kaha subh dharma achara.
Teyi trin harit charai jab gayi. Bhava baccha sisu paya penhayi.
Noi nivritti patra vishwasa. Nirmal mal ahir nij dasa.
Param dharma maya paya duhi bhai. Amvatai anal akal banayi.
Tosha marut tab kshama judavai. Ghriti sam javanudeyi jamavai.
Mudita mathai vichar mathani. Dama adhar raju satya suvani.
Tab mathi kadhi leyi navaneeta. Vimal birag subh supunita.
Joga agini kari prakat tab, karma subhasubh layi.
Buddhi siravai gyan ghrit, mamata mal jar jayi.
Tab vigyan rupini buddhi visada ghrit payi.
Chita deeya bhari dharai dridha samata diati banayi.
Tini awastha tini gun tehi kapasate kadhi.
Tul turiya sanwari puni bati karai sughadi.
Ehi vidhi lekh deep, tej rasi vigyan mayi.
Jatahin jasu sameep jarahi madadik salabh sab.
Sohamasmi iti vritti akhanda. Deep sikha soi param prachanda.
Atam anubhav such suprakasa. Tab bhava mool bheda bhramanasa.
Prabal avidyakar parivara. Moha adi tam mitahi apara.
Tab soi buddhi payi ujiyara. Ur graham baithi granthi niruara.
Lest anyone is the destiny creator of the flame of divine wisdom of Gosainji it is only the intellect. According to him via Japa, penance, Vrata, Yam, Niyam Achar etc we must increase sacred faith in our heart and a firm attitude of attaining conscious energy must be created. By withdrawing our thoughts from sense objects rendering the psyche pure along with trust selflessly taking help of contentment, forgiveness and power of endurance very gladly imbibing sense control and truth in our life to create dispassion. By surrendering all our good-bad actions at the sacrosanct feet of Almighty God awaken the intellect so that dirt represented by deluded mental attachment burns to naught. In this manner by conjoining divine wisdom to the brain remaining uniform in the past, future, present, childhood, youth and old age keeping the psyche equanimous on rendering awakened the sentiments of parity one gets an experience of unity and thus the illusion of differences, the goal of separate entities shall get warded off. At that time from the path of
the intellect conscious power of divine wisdom shall flow ceaselessly. It shall go down from the intellect to the mind and sense organs and shall render this inert body divine in nature.
There is only one cause of divinity and inertness and that is equanimity and disparity. In order to render the brain ceaselessly uniform in Indian tradition right from childhood itself the teaching of Buddhi (intellect) Yoga is given. At the age of 5 years when he is liberated from spiritual ignorance in the form of affection, deluded mental attachment, sexual lust etc he is made to wear the Gayatri Kavach or armor. This Gayatri Kavach is nothing other than the Yoga of the Intellect. It is at this very age that Savita God a symbol of conscious energy of the external world and spiritual practice-devotion in the internal world are commenced. Along with faith and trust that supreme conscious energy is brought down via the intellectual path and in order to make oneself a devotee of Almighty God with a zealous mind he does Japa or Mantra chanting. Ceaseless remembrance itself is Japa or Mantra chanting. In this Japa or Mantra chanting there are not only words. It is not merely verbal. This Japa or Mantra chanting is based on sacred sentiments. All minds and Prana Energy of humans call aloud. They meditate on that god worth surrendering to that is a symbol, divine light and divine aura of divinity. In this devotion only one wish is harbored and that is "Dhiyo yonah naha prachodayat". Please inspire our brain. Why is inspiration required? In order to imbibe with equanimity that manifested conscious energy and by helping it flow in the mind and sense organs so as to render the place of residence of conscious energy divine. After attaining this divinity man gets reinstated in it. Where there is complete peace, complete joy and lack of any sort is never seen.
Meditation-worship of Super Energy Gayatri is that of this Yoga of Intellect. This verily is Yoga of Wisdom and for world humanity it is the one and only path heading towards supreme peace.
CHAPTER 22
YOGA OF LAYA OR MERGING
Yo vatmanam tu vai tasmin manavaha kurute layam.
Bhavabandhavinirmukto layayogam sa apnute………. (1)
That person who immerses himself in it that person getting liberated from material bondage attains Yoga of Laya.
Layayogastu sa esha yena sandhautkalmashaha.
Sachidanndarupena sadhakaha sukhamapnute……… (2)
This Yoga of Laya is that via Existence-Consciousness-Bliss destroys his sins. Such a type of devotee attains joy.
The Swaha term of Super Mantra Gayatri is meant for Yoga of Laya. Laya means merging mixing with something or getting immersed. The aim of Yoga of Laya involves the living soul merging into Almighty God and immersing I him. In the state of liberation or Samadhi/trance the individual soul is forgotten, duality is got rid of and one attains the bliss of oneness of Sayujya Mukti.
The 4 fold entities of mind, intellect, psyche and ego although are illumined by the light of the soul by taking its energy it becomes mobile yet it appears as a separate entity. The reflection of the sun seen in water is because of the sun only even so the existence of the reflection appears as a separate existence. In this way the 4 fold entities of mind, intellect, psyche and ego makes its separate existence and is called Jiva or living being. Majority of humans believe themselves to be Jiva or living being only and its desire, aspiration and liking believe it to be its own desire. Thus it remains busy in fulfilling it. In this manner one kingdom has 2 kings or in one scimitar 2 swords are present. Just as in a human being a disease or ghost rushes into the body it spreads out varied types of mismanagement, creates obstructions, similarly in the temple of the soul when it creates an artificial existence of its own then I this temple mismanagement definitely rules the roost so to speak. Today amongst all of us the life of majority is becoming mismanaged.
The sacred portion of Almighty God viz. the soul imbibes a body so that in Almighty God's divine garden sporting blissfully, drinks the immortal nectar of love and in this meritorious land which is sweeter than heaven all around man sports in the blissful waterfalls spread out everywhere. By rendering his supreme existence gross from the subtle and laughs on seeing its lovable nature. For oneself and others manifests satisfying zest of peace and joy. But we can see that majority of human beings are walking bang opposite this goal. At every step he experiences sadness, poverty and harassments. His mental arena is getting dirty due to sorrow, sadness, worry, separation, suspicion, jealousy, yearning, hatred, selfish desires, despair, cowardice, restlessness, avarice etc. He prefers hoarding materials, nourishing his little ego 'I' and enjoying sense titillating objects. For all these 3 he misuses all these energies but yet he does not attain anything and remains discontented. In fact he faces more and more of lack of peace. To the extent these things are imbibed more than its measure he faces heart burns.
Sinning or fruits of sins is attaining sorrow. A cycle of this continues viciously. I order to get liberated from sadness quickly one sins and as a result of its fruits more sorrow appears. This cycle day after day becomes more and more complex. The more a bird flutters when caught in a net to that very extent it gets bound to the net. While thinking about this lopsided movement it is so mind boggling as to why the soul is marching in the opposite direction when he should be heading in the direction for which the soul had taken up a body? On deeply reflecting over this puzzle we come to know that the authority of the soul on the life of the living being is merely in name only and the real ruler has become a false entity. It is because of faulty governance of
this false ruler that man is facing such a bad situation. He has to get enmeshed in many difficult problems that are both external and internal in nature. Thus Maya is nothing but this problem, this harassing state and this rigmarole. Due to merging with Maya the throat has to get caught in the net of sorrow.
In those people in whom at least a little soul consciousness exists they think about their state. They feel they have no contentment both within and without. The cause of this restlessness is the predominance of this state of living being. The living being thinks it is this limited human body and in order to amass the joys and benefits of the body he makes untold efforts. It does not matter that the aim of the soul is getting destroyed right from its roots. As long as this is the state of Jivabhava or living being is strong there is no solution for getting liberated from the 3 fold cycle of desires, sins and sorrow. It can get liberated only when he forgets his state of Jivabhava or living being and instead gets awakened in his soul state.
The method of merging the state of Jivabhava or living being into the soul state, rendering Dwait as Advait or non duality and converting bondage into spiritual liberation is to merge one's limited ego 'I' into the all pervasive Almighty God. This state is called self sacrifice, self donation, self attainment, self vision, self well being, self realization etc (self means soul). As a result our limited ego 'I' becomes unlimited. We can then visualize our soul in everybody and all animate and inanimate objects in our soul. At that time the desires of everyone becomes our very own. The name of this non dual state is limited self forgetfulness or the state of Laya or merging. For its spiritual practice soul visionaries have reinstated Laya Yoga or Yoga of Merging.
In Laya Yoga or Yoga of Merging, practice is done to forget the mind. Despite staying in the present gross state it is forgotten and such a state is experienced that although is not in the gross state but is desired by the mind. Not experiencing the gross state and even if something is not visible directly but that one experiences it on the basis of one's sentiments. This then is the process used in Laya Yoga or Yoga of Merging. On mastering this practice man forgets to see the present conditions from the material standpoint. As a result those things too do not make him experience sadness that generally induces fear and sorrow in ordinary laymen. A devotee of Laya Yoga or Yoga of Merging, while facing difficulties, pain and hardships experiences bliss and well being in a self contented manner.
The commencement of Laya Yoga or Yoga of Merging takes place by mastering the 5 sense organs, 5 elements and 5 Tanmatras. Slowly when this practice marches ahead, one reaches total success in self forgetfulness. On getting liberated from Jivabhava or living being e enjoys bliss the divine state of soul sentiments.
Below we are listing 5 practices of Laya Yoga or Yoga of Merging. Via these one masters sound, form, taste, smell and touch's Tanmatras the soul now controls the gross and subtle bodies made up of 5 elements. At that time on his own, he attains the state of divine bliss that should happen in the direction of soul awakening. I have given these 5 spiritual practices in my book called "Pratyakshafaldayini Sadhanayain".
SHABDA SADHANA OR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE:
Naad Yoga is called Shabda Sadhana. It actually comes within the realm of self forgetting of Laya Yoga or Yoga of Merging. But since it is bigger and very widespread hence in an independent manner it is called Naad Yoga. In later pages of this book it shall be dealt with in a separate manner.
ROOPA SADHANA:
For Roopa Spiritual Practice Tratak (gazing un-winking) is practiced. Tratak is of 2 types: External and internal. The spiritual practice of both is written below:
BAHYA OR EXTERNAL TRATAK:
It involves gazing without winking at a certain point. On a white square shaped paper that is blank and shiny exactly at the center akin to a 1 Rupee coin with dark ink paint a round ball there. At the center of this black round shape paint a white dot.
Keeping the Merudand or spine straight, rendering the psyche balanced sit in lotus or semi lotus posture. The above mentioned black ball must be hung on the wall at a distance of 3 feet from your eyes and must be in line with it. Now focus your vision on the white ball in the middle of the black one. There is no problem if you wink a bit but your eyes should not deviate from the white point. The eyes should not be opened fully and the winking should not be stopped forcefully. The vision should not be very light and a lot of strength should not be used. This spiritual practice must be done in a middle state. This spiritual practice must be done only by people that have healthy eyes. Those that have an eye based medical problem must never do Tratak.
In a short while after focusing your eye sight on the black ball the center white point shall be seen as though it is moving, increasing, decreasing, shivering and changing colors. Despite all this happening, you must not move your eyesight away from the center. After a few days of practice the white point shall be seen steady. This is a sign of reaching a mature state in your spiritual practice. Starting this practice initially for 2 minutes daily increase it by 1 minute. If your eyes get filled with water immediately stop your Tratak practice.
This spiritual practice can also be done on the top of a flame lamp using Ghee or clarified butter, on the front part of a stone image or Shivalinga or on the feet, nails or any other part of your icon deity.
ABHYANTARIK OR INTERNAL TRATAK:
For this after closing your eyes sit for spiritual practice. A straight line must be drawn between the holes of the ears and from the middle of the eyebrow to the back of the head another line must be drawn. Where both these lines meet is the region of Trikuti, Brahmarandhra or Sahasradal Kamal or 1000 petal lotus. After focusing on this place with a calm cool psyche, a smallish point of light can be witnessed. After a few days in place of one so many red, yellow, black and other colored of varied shapes can be seen in the brain flying all around. After long term daily practicing it these scattered varied shape points start merging in the original point. Finally what remains behind is a white divine light and on visualizing it in the internal region one experiences a huge shower of blissful peace.
CHAPTER 23
YOGA BASED SPIRITUAL PRACTICE OF TASTE BUDS
For this spiritual practice, use a fruit that you find most tasty. For example if you find mangoes tasty cut them into 5 small parts. Place 1 piece on the front area of the tongue for 1 minute and experience its taste. Then throw away this piece and without meditating on the previous taste the taste of mangoes
shall remain on the tongue. In 2 minutes this experience shall wither away. Then place another piece on the tongue and like previously after throwing it away experience the taste of the mango. In this manner by doing this 5 times it shall totally take about 15 minutes.
Slowly decrease the time limit of placing anything on the tongue and there should be an increase of experiencing taste without placing anything on the tongue. After sometime without placing anything on the g anything on the tongue only with thought one can taste a desired thing for an apt time period.
GANDHA OR SMELL SADHANA:
It is most required that in this spiritual practice we do Tratak on the front portion of the nose. Tratak cannot be done on the front portion of the nose with both the eyes. Hence for 1 minute do Tratak on the right side and another 1 minute on the left side. By giving predominance to the right side with it on the right side and then by giving predominance to the left nostril look at the left side seriously. At first do this for 1 minute and then keep increasing for 5 minutes ultimately. Due to this Tratak subtle powers of the palate of the mouth can be awakened.
After this Tratak take a fragrant and beautiful flower. After taking it near the nostrils for 1 minute slowly smell it and remember its fragrance properly. After this throw away the flower and without the flower remember that fragrance for 2 minutes. After this taking another flower repeat what you did previously. 5 flowers for 15 minutes must be used. You must keep in mind that at least for 1 week only one flower must be used. Similarly in this taste buds spiritual practice 1 fruit for 1 week must be made use of.
SPARSH OR TOUCH BASED SADHANA:
1) After placing ice or any other cold substance on the body for 1 minute remove it and for 2 minutes experience that very coolness is being availed. After touching the body with a stone heated to the extent one can endure it, develop a thought that it shall be experienced always. After touching the skin with a hand fan, smooth glass or a ball of cotton meditating on its touch too is this type of practice. Rubbing with a brush, picking up a ball of iron etc type of practices must be meditated upon as mentioned above.
2) After placing a very soft mattress on a ground that is even lie down flat on it. For sometime experience its touch based softness and delicate nature. After this, lie down on the ground without the soft mattress. While lying down on the bare ground try and mentally experience the softness of the mattress experienced previously. Again come back on the mattress and experience the hard ground. One's power of endurance increases by imagining various types of environment in various situations. On attaining success in touch based spiritual practice one attains the capacity to endure bodily hardships in a smiling manner.
It is not as though one perforce has to execute the 5 spiritual practices at one shot. Those who have less time for Sadhana or spiritual practice must chose 1 or 2 of these 5 Sadhana or spiritual practices I accordance with one's interest and comfort. On attaining success in it, other Sadhana or spiritual practices can be executed.
Via these Sadhana or spiritual practices we can control and master the mind, thought waves decrease and one can control thoughts. All Sadhana or spiritual practices of Yoga have this as its goal. Success in attaining concentration or focus of mind and soul victory is the biggest success of human life. On its basis man as per his wish can become whatever he wishes to become. He can do whatever he wants. Via the subtle energy of sense organs many types of Sidhis or success can be accrued. Not only on the basis of subtle sense organs but that on the basis of one's wish, it experiences all
joys of the world. Materialist people run about here and there after mirage like sense pleasures. But all these are effortlessly attained by adept Yogis. Via Sankalpa Shakti or will power all these sense pleasures come and stand before them.
CHAPTER 24
NAAD YOGA OR YOGA OF DIVINE SOUND
Niranjanasya sukhadhamno vishwa murtehe prabhatmanaha.
Nagaryam santi ruchyayayam nada ye shrotranandanaha.
Jayate paramanando tannad shravanatu.
Tatprapanam mataha punsam nad-yogo vichakshanaiha.
That whose soul is Prabha, that taintless house of world image in the beautiful city of God that which is Naad that gives bliss to the ears by hearing these sounds that supreme bliss is attained, the attainment for humans by great scholars is called Naad Yoga or Yoga of Divine Sound.
In the term Naha an indication of Naad Yoga or Yoga of Divine Sound exists. Sound is called Almighty God because the task of tying God and living beings in one chain is done by sound only. The commencement of world creation too is via sound. Amongst the 5 elements the 1st one created was space and its Tanmatra is sound. Akin to all other materials sound too is of 2 types. One is gross and the other is subtle. Subtle sound is called thoughts and gross sound is meditation.
From Brahmaloka or divine world, divine sound flows ceaselessly for us. Almighty God wishes to converse with us but very few amongst all of us desire to hear him. Ceaselessly Almighty God inspires with such a thought flow which is extremely good for our well being. Lest it is heard and understood properly and as per it a path is designed then doubtlessly one can march ahead speedily towards the desired goal. This thought flow bangs against our soul. Our psyche is a radio and if we face in its direction, render our thoughts introverted, we hear divine thought waves gushing forth from the soul, we can directly hear Almighty God's speech. It is this that is called a celestial voice. What should we do and what should not be done? What is apt and what is inapt for us? Its direct message is attained from Almighty God. This type of thought flow is called variedly like call of the psyche, divine command from the soul, Almighty God's message, celestial voice, divine wisdom etc. Those that clean the machine called soul so as to attain success in hearing this divine hint they are called soul seers or one that has surrendered his entire being at the sacrosanct feet of Almighty God. For them Almighty God is very near them, they hear him talk and tell him what they wish to say.
For this divine union there is no need of using ears or eyes made of flesh, bones etc. The psyche seated in close proximity to the soul with the help of its divine sense organs fulfills this task with ease. This very subtle divine sound and divine thought is heard hazily as long as dirt and distortions cloud the soul. The more inner sanctity increases to that extent this divine message is heard clearly. Initially the wisdom of duty is felt indications of sins-merits appear. While executing vile tasks in the inner personality dwell fear, hatred, shame, shyness etc and while doing great tasks self contentment, happiness, zest etc are present. Further ahead this divine message manifests all incidences of past, present and future. For what reason what future is being designed and in future what incidences shall have to be faced? All this is perceived and on reaching a higher stature all mysteries of the cosmos get unfolded. There is nothing that is hidden from him but as soon as he attains this big knowledge he becomes very cautious about using it. If this wisdom gets in the hands of immature people they shall destroy it by setting up a game of miracles. But those that are mature disallow even the fact that they possess this power and instead use it only for soul uplifting of others in society.
The other form of divine sound that in comparison to thought message is bit gross and it is Naad. In Yoga of Prana Energy it has already been said that in the deep cave of nature every moment a sound emerges. Via its inspiration through banging mobility commences in atoms and thus cosmic activities go on. The initial sound is Om. The more this Om sound passes by in the realm of other elements that type of difference in sound comes and goes. When in the holes of a flute a sound emerges from it but in the holes ahead of it if in a particular hole depending on the air coming out based on it varied musical tones emerge. In the same way Om sound too coming in contact with various elements gets converted to varied types of sound tones. Hearing these sound tones is Naad Yoga or Yoga of Divine Sound.
Naad Yoga or Yoga of Divine Sound's Sadhana or spiritual practice involving hearing of sound waves of Om resounding from the 5 elements from many standpoints is very important. The first thing is that on hearing this divine music so much bliss is experienced and no other sweet sounding instrument or vocal music shall give such bliss. The second point is that via hearing of Naad an onrush of mental energy is noted. When a snake hears music in its nerves an electrical wave gets emitted. The head of a deer on hearing sweet music becomes so zestful that it loses all bodily and mental consciousness. In Europe at the time of milking cows musical instruments are played so that its muscles on getting incited induce more milk from the udder to come out. On
haring the divine sound of Naad such onrush occurs in the human brain too as a result of which innumerable mysterious mental energies become advanced. In this manner one progresses both materially and spiritually too.
The 3rd benefit is that of concentration or focus. By focusing on an object or sound the mind's scattered energies gather at one point and in this manner the mind gets concentrated and the Sadhana or spiritual practice of using the psyche in any desired direction becomes successful. How grand is this success? It is known by every devotee of the path of spirituality. Via lenses focusing solar rays in an area of about 2 inches leads to fire emerging. In the well widespread body of human beings infinite scattered energies on getting focused at one point emits such a great power via which this world can be shaken up and for oneself a path can be etched in space.
While catching the musical waves of Naad a devotee catching the rope of Om reaches that fount of divinity which is the desired place of the soul. Attaining Brahmaloka is synonymous with salvation, Nirvana, supreme abode etc on the basis of Naad while merging the mind a devotee reaches the final step of the ladder of Yoga practices and attains the esired goal. How should the practice of Naad be carried out? Let us throw some light on it:
For practicing it, choose such a place that has solitude and where not much of outside sound is heard. Very strong light is an obstacle in this practice. Hence try and find a dark room. At around 3 am in the morning till dawn is very suitable for this practice. Lest such time arrangements cannot be made choose times like morning 6 am and after day ends. Regularly on a daily basis at the demarcated hour this practice should be done. In the room chosen place an Asan or seat or place an arm chair to sit on it. Lest you sit on an Asan to sit on place behind your back place a bag of cloth there. If this too is not possible place you Asan in a corner. Sit in such a way that the body gets rest and try and loosen and relax your body. Develop the thought that my body merely is a pile of cotton and at this hour I am leaving it totally free. In a short while the entire body shall become loose and instead of enduring your weight it shall roll about here and there. By taking the help of the arm chair, wall etc the body will remain put at its place. By making two balls of very clean cotton place it in your ears in such a way that no sound from outside enters the ears. You may also try put fingers in both the ears to stop sound from entering. Now no outside sound shall be heard by you. Even if it is heard removing your focus on it, take it to the scalp and there the sounds
heard make efforts to hear them by focusing it on them. Initially maybe you shall not hear anything but after efforts are made for 2-4 days the more the subtle ears become sanctified the clarity of sound shall increase. At first many types of sound are heard. The sound emitted by blood flow in the body is heard as though the train is moving on the railway tracks. The sound of air coming and going is heard akin to clouds thundering. The sound of juices being cooked and marching ahead is akin to biting sound. These 3 types of sound are produced via bodily activities. Similarly there are 2 sounds of mental functioning. The wave of restlessness emerging from the mind they on banging into mental nerves makes such a sound as though on a tin box rain is showering. When the brain on imbibing external knowledge reinstates it in itself it appears as though some creature is breathing. All these 5 sounds are of the body and mind. After just a few days of practice ordinarily with efforts of 2-3 weeks all these sounds shall be heard quite clearly. By hearing these sounds the subtle sense organs get purified and its capacity to imbibe hidden energies increases a fair bit.
When the capability of hearing Naad increases many sounds comparable to the flute, whistle etc can be heard. This indicates activities carrying on in the subtle world. Lest children separated for many days are reunited with their mother they ooze with joy. Similar joy is experienced by listeners of subtle sound. In reality it is coming out from close proximity to that principle where the soul had separated from Ait is coming out from close proximity to that principle where the soul had separated from Almighty God and on reaching there both get reunited. Slowly these sounds become cleaelmighty God and on reaching there both get reunited. Slowly these sounds become clearer and devotee experiences untold bliss on hearig them. Sometimes immersed in those sounds by becoming ecstatic drips forth with divine bliss and he forgets body and mental consciousness. The final sound is Om and it is very subtle. Its sound is like a bell tolling. On banging a clock with a hammer just as for sometime it keeps vibrating similarly Om's bell sound is heard.
When the Om sound is heard a situation of sleep, half sleep and unconsciousness manifests. The devotee loses all consciousness of body and mind and instead gets immersed in the divine bliss of Samadhi and Turiya state. That soul marching ahead from this state continues entering into Almighty God and finally fully attains the state of God Realization.
Apart from Naad for subtle Sadhana or spiritual practice of thought flow practice of Rikta Mind is done. Teachers of Yoga call it subtle sound or Naad.
Following is the method of subtle sound or Naad:
With a quiet mind sit in the lotus posture called Padmasan. Keep your spine straight and unbent. Close your eyes. Think that all around you is the rule of infinite peace. All around you there is nothing apart from blue skies.
Now focus your vision between the eyebrows. After driving one nail in one ear remove it from the other ear. Take another nail and hammer it in between the eyebrows so that it comes out from the back side of the scalp. Now where both lines meet is called Trikuti. Let a thought come in your mind. Keep developing the thought that there is only peace, void peace, peace and deep profundity. If thoughts that try to break this sacred feeling emerge you must obstruct them and again and again make effort to bring back peace in the mind.
Initially this Sadhana or spiritual practice of Rikta Manas appears quite difficult but slowly the psyche shall succeed in it. At that time the solitude filled mind in that void world will feel as though some subtle divine stream is coming by flowing from the divine world and is helping in its flow. The mind experiences that what message is coming from within and what divine dialogue is being heard by it? These messages become clearer as days go by and via celestial voices the devotee gets messages, directions and answers.
Apart from this Sadhana or spiritual practice of meditation the devotee's daily social life must be more and more sacred and self controlled. This is because with sacredness and peace the inner peace cannot remain steady and in a psyche that lacks peace the divine message remains hazy and no onrush of it is noted. Hence a Naad Yogi in order to render his behavior and thoughts extremely pious makes efforts to do so ceaselessly.

GRANTHI YOGA OR YOGA OF PSYCHIC COMPLEXES
Yashchakragranthatyo dehe guptastishthanti dehinaha.
Pradadati prachandam taha prernam shudhamanase.
Tastu jagrutya vai sarvaha kurute sadhanaparaha.
Sakshatkaram kundalinyaha granthiyogaha sa uchyate.
In the human body dwell 6 Yogic Chakras and psychic complexes in a hidden manner. These 6 Yogic Chakras and psychic complexes called Granthis bestow terrific inspiration in man's pure heart. By awakening these6 Yogic Chakras and psychic complexes called Granthis man immersed in Sadhana or spiritual practice subtly perceives Super Power Kundalini and this is called Granthi Yoga or Yoga of Psychic Complexes.
Antaranam tu gayatraya gumfanam hyasti taddhidham.
Bhavanti jagruta yena sarvaguhyastu granthayaha.
The weaving of alphabets of Super Mantra Gayatri is such via which all secret psychic complexes become awakened.
Jagritaha ganthayastataha sukshmaha sadhak manase.
Divya shakti samudabhrutim kshipram kurvantyasanshayam.
These awakened subtle psychic complexes called Granthis doubtlessly very soon create in the mind of the devotee divine energies.
Pradurbhavanti vai sukshmashchachaturvishi shaktayaha.
Aksharebhyastu gayatrayaha manavanam hi manase.
In the psyche of humans from the alphabets of Gayatri manifest subtle Bhuta 24 energies.
In man's body there are many subtle psychic complexes called Granthis. In Kundalini Yoga the description of 6 chief subtle psychic complexes called Granthis and 6 chief Yogic Chakras or subtle complexes has already been given. Apart from these there are many other important psychic complexes
which on awakening such energies are attained that are very useful for advancement of life.
The last part of Super Mantra Gayatri i.e. Prachodayat is meant for inspiring these subtle psychic complexes called Granthis. It is clear that each alphabet has some place of origin and by uttering it a special pressure is noted on an inner portion. Those who have read Sanskrit language's grammar they know that which word is uttered from which part of the mouth. A, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, Ha and Visargas are uttered from the throat. Ee, Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, Ya, Sha are uttered from the palate of the mouth. Ri, Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, Ra, Sha are uttered from the Murdha. La, Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, La, Sa are uttered from the teeth. Oo, Pa, Fa, Ba, Bha, Ma is uttered from the lips. Ya, Ma, Ga, Nna, Na are uttered from the nose. A, Ai are uttered from the throat-palate. O and Au are uttered from the throat and lips and Va is uttered from teeth and lips. These are gross sounds of words wherein they are uttered from various parts of the mouth.
The places from which dwells the root fount of these words are all different. Within the human body the muscle network of various places and an onrush of subtle nerves emerge at that time a previous form of that word gets created that on entering the mouth it emerges from some special area of it.

Our body has 24 Granthis or psychic complexes. Its place, name, color, result etc have been listed above. The 24 alphabets of Super Mantra Gayatri is of this very type whose root fount lie on these 24 Granthis or psychic complexes. When we chant Super Mantra Gayatri sequentially a banging takes place on all these 24 Granthis or psychic complexes and they by slowly coming out of their sleeping state and head towards awakening. When we play the Harmonium musical instrument (like a piano), when our fingers press a key, it gives out a particular musical tone. Similarly by chanting the 24 alphabets these 24 Granthis or psychic complexes start vibrating. Along with this vibration on its own a lightning of awakening starts running in them. As a result of this slowly so many specialties start manifesting in the devotee and he starts attaining both material and spiritual benefits.
Where are these energies? A direction regarding this is given above by giving a photo of the body. The name, color, energy, demigod and quality have already been detailed above. For example the 1st alphabet of Gayatri is Tat. Its area is in between the 2 eyebrows. In this area there is a very subtle Granthi or psychic complex whose hue is yellow like the Champa flower. The energy that resides in it is called Tapini in Yogic parlance. This is the reign of divinity of fire. The more this Granthi or psychic complex gets awakened from its latent state the quality of success keeps augmenting. Similarly on the basis of this photo of the body and color wheel the knowledge of all 24 letters can be accrued.
The 24 alphabets of Gayatri in their individual region awaken those energies as a result of which various benefits are accrued. For this super great benefit no other action is required. Merely via the word chanting of Gayatri the Granthis or psychic complexes awaken by themselves and devotees can execute Granti Yoga on their own.
CHAPTER 26
ATTAINING SIDHIS OR DIVINE POWERS VIA SOUL AWAKENING
Sarva jivansidhistu yoga ete hi dwadash.
Datwa hi sadhakam loke prapayantyavyayam padam.
These 12 Yogas after handing over Sidhis of the entire life help a devotee to attain it in this world.
Ekasya stokamapyebhyaha sadhanam vidadhati yaha.
Satatam hi saratyagre shantimarge sa sadhakaha.
If a devotee does even a little bit of practice of any one of these 12 types he ceaselessly marches ahead on the path of peace.
In previous pages those 12 Yogas described a bit are so important that even if a little Sadhana or spiritual practice is done it aids a lot in marching ahead on the path of soul uplifting and well being. Lest a person steadfastly latches on to any one of these 12 Yogas described and firmly executes it with patience, faith, focus and regularly it is definite that soul awakening shall take place. Along with this awakening those spiritual powers that were latent in nature become awakened so that one attains maturity and nourishing strength.
Under such circumstances it is natural that those successes are noted that are well known as Ridhi-Sidhis or Super Divine Powers. For attaining these Ridhi-Sidhis or Super Divine Powers there is a separate practice or path. Those that think thus that only by doing a specific practice one shall access a specific Ridhi-Sidhis or Super Divine Powers they are definitely erring. They are not something separate but are a natural result of soul awakening. The more the soul gets reinstated in its pristine pure form the more its divine qualities shall manifestand these must be a portion of Almighty God.
When a burning coal is separated from a new engine slowly its upper region on cooling becomes ash in form. When this pile of ash becomes quite big on touching it from outside one cannot perceive heat in it. On touching it neither the hands burn nor can one feel the quality of heat in it. When this ash is removed that very burning fire emerges from inside. When it gets a new engine it takes the form akin to a raging forest fire. When the soul does not get sacred thoughts and fuel in the form of activities then like the burning coal while cooling down appears like ash covering it. At that time it appears as though man has no divine principle and is merely a puppet doll of distortions in the psyche, downtrodden, poor etc. But when via Yoga practices this ash of spiritual ignorance is removed its soul energy manifests. At that time one comes to know the true nature of humans who are getting kicked about here and there and are poverty stricken harassed people. When a devotee awakens to his true identity of Existence-Consciousness-Bliss its soul radiance becomes wonderfully illumined. On attaining fuel in the form of Soul Sadhana or spiritual practice when this divine fire takes up a terrific inferno kind of form its light, heat and adornment spreads to very far off places. This is the true form of Ridhi-Sidhis or Super Divine Powers. In awakened souls such type of many specialties can be perceived that are not noted in laymen. These laymen feel rare and mind boggling. When something is not there with everyone and only some rare person has it, it seems spell binding. Although Ridhi-Sidhis or Super Divine Powers are a symbol of the natural state of the soul even so it appears amazing because these special qualities are not found in one and all.
The soul is a part of Almighty God. Those qualities, specialties and energy that are present in Almighty God are present in the individual soul too. But its manifestation does not take place because its soul radiance is covered by Maya or spiritual ignorance and other mental taints. When this covering gets unveiled man now no longer bound to Maya becomes a Yoga Sidha. Attaining this success is a high stature spiritual grandeur. When one gets it the soul gets
decorated by divine wealth and via this grandeur the devotee uses divine bliss.
Super Mantra Gayatri is a huge ocean. In its womb lie hidden innumerable types of jewels. Forget trying to count them it cannot even be imagined. In the womb lie knowledge based jewels in the form of matter, spirituality, bodily ones, mental ones, social and religious ones. This is because via this one Mantra only all 4 Vedas manifested. Vedas are a storehouse of all true sciences and those sciences present in the Vedas are present in Super Mantra Gayatri. In it there are even many Yoga based Sadhana or spiritual practices but amongst these leading 12 of them are described in this ebook. With this Yoga too Sadhana or spiritual practice can be done and each one is great. Even if any one Sadhana or spiritual practice is done it gives desired results. From the standpoint of differences of liking them and coduciveness of situations their numbers add up to so much. From these one can choose a Sess of situations their numbers add up to so much. From these one can choose a Sadhana or spiritual practice as per liking it and desire based benefits can be accrued. At one point in time Sadhana or spiritual practices of Yoga can be done or do it one after another but before setting up your schedule you must definitely take advice of someone tha is adept and a master of Yoga. This is because which Yoga is beneficial for which devotee can be gauged only by an experienced master who has successfully walked on this spiritual path.
CHAPTER 27
SUPER ENERGY GAYATRI UPANISHAD
From Vedas have emerged Brahman texts. Each Veda had many Brahman texts but today only a few of these are available. Time's vicious movement saw to it that many of them became oblivious.
There are 2 Brahmans of Rigveda viz. Shankhayan and Aitereya. Shankhayan is called Kausheet also.
There are 3 Brahmans of Yajurveda viz. Shatpath Brahman, Kanva Brahman and Taiteriya Brahman.
There are 11 Brahmans of Samaveda viz. Arsheya Brahman, Jaiminiyarsheya Brahman, Sanhitoupanishad Brahman, Mantra Brahman, Vansh Brahman, Samvidhan Brahman, Shadvinsh Brahman, Devat Brahman, Tandya Brahman, Jaiminiya Brahman and Jaiminiya Upanishad Brahman.
There is only 1 Brahman of Atharvaveda viz. Gopath Brahman. In Gopath 8 Kandikas from 31-38 is called Gayatri Upanishad. In it via the description of debate taking place between Maitreya and Maudgal the deep import of Gayatri has been taught. As per ordinary word meaning the prayer of intellect based inspiration is the gist of Gayatri. But in this Upanishad a lot of light has been thrown on the mysteries of both Divine Sciences and Material Science.
Etaddhasma etad vidwansamekadashaksham.
Maudagalyam glavo maitreyobhyajagam.
Glav Maitreya came near Ekadashaksha Maudgalya.
Sa tasmin brahmacharyam vasateeti vijnayovacha.
Kim swinmaryada ayam tanmaudgalyodhyeti.
Yadasminbrahmacharyam vasateeti.
On seeing Maudgalya's Brahmachari and on hearing him Glav said (mockingly) that what is Maudgalya teaching this Brahmachari? It means he is not teaching anything.
Tadhi Maudgalya syantevasi sushrava.
Sa acharyayavrajya chachashte.
On hearing this Maudgalya's Brahmachari came to his teacher and said:
Durdhiyanam va ayam bhavantamvochadyoyamadyatithirbhavati.
Today the one who has become a guest has called you a fool.
Kim saumya vidhaniti.
Is he a scholar? Maudgalya asked thus:
Trinvedan brute bho iti.
Yes! He is a religious discourse giver of 3 Vedas said the disciple.
Tasya saumya yo vidwan vispashto vijigishontevasi tam mohyeti.
O Saumya! Bring to me his disciple who is a scholar, subtle seer and one yearning to attain victory.
Tamahujava. Tamabhyuvachasaviti bho iti.
He brought the disciple and said: He is this one.
Kim saumya ta acharyodhyetiti.
Maudgalya asked him: O Saumya! What does your teacher teach you?
Trinvedan bhrute bho iti.
He replied: He gives religious discourses on all 3 Vedas.
Yannu khalusamyaasmabhihi sarve vedamukhto grihitaha.
Katham ta evamacharyo bhashate, katham nu sa chetsaumya.
Durdhiyano bhavishyati, acharyo vachbrahmachari.
Brahmacharine savitri prah, iti vaksyati.
O Saumya! Lest he does not know this he shall say that the teacher gives teachings on that to his disciple it is Savitri. It means that he shall tell you about the word meaning of Gayatri which is the gross meaning only.
Tatvam bruyad durdhiyanam tam vai bhavanmaudgalya.
Mavochat sa twam yam prashnamprakshinna tam vyavochaha.
Pura samvatsaradartimakrishyasiti.
At that time you must say that you had called our teacher Maudgalya a fool. He had asked a few questions and you could not answer them. In 1 year itself you shall have to face hardship.
Shishtaha shishtebhya evam bhasherun.
Yum hyennamprashnam nahyenamadhyetiti.
pricchami
na

vivakshyati,
O Saumya! I too have studied all the Vedas then why does your teacher call me a fool? Is it right for one teacher to talk like this for another teacher? Those questions that I shall ask him he shall be unable to answer them. He must not even be teaching them.
Sa ha maudgalya swamantevasinamuvacha-pare hi saumya,
Glavam maitreyamupasitad adhihi bhoha savitri gayatri
Chatur vishati yonim dwadash mithunam, yasyabhrigvangirasashcha.
Kshuryasyam sarvamidamashritam tam bhavan prabravitwiti.
At that time that Maudgalya told his Brahmachari: O Saumya! Go to meet Glav Maitreya and in his presence say that teach me that Savitri and Gayatri which 12 Mithun, 24 Yonis, Bhrigu and Angira that are its eyes and which is the shelter of all of these.
In this Kandika Maudgalya asked Maitreya to talk about the mystery of Gayatri. Everyone knows the ordinary meaning that in this Mantra a prayer
has been chanted to Almighty God please give us a pious intellect. There are innumerable such Mantras written in Shrutis-Smritis in which of this type or any other type prayers have been made for supreme intellect and Viveka or farsighted discrimination. Then what is the specialty in Super Mantra Gayatri as a result of which it is called Mother of Vedas and in all the realms of Shrutis so much importance is given to it. Definitely there must a very big reason for this. Maudgalya asked Maitreya to talk about its mystery and cause.
Sa tatrajagam yatretaro babhuva.
Tanhappriccha sa ha na praipede.
Maudgalya's disciple reached where Maitreya resided. He asked Maitreya but the latter could not give an answer.
Tam hovacha durdhiyanam tam vai bhavanmaudgalyamavo.
Chatsatva yam prashnamaprakshinna sanvatsaradartimakrishyasiti.

The disciple said: You had called Maudgalya a fool. What he asked you, you could not answer. Hence in 1 year you shall undergo hardships.
Sa ha maitreyaha yathagriham

At that time Maitreya told his disciples: Now you all must return to your homes as per your wish. I called Maitreya a fool but what he has asked I have not been able to answer. I shall go to him and shall calm him down.
Sa ha maitreyaha prataha samitpanimaudgalyamupasasadasau va aham bho maitreya iti.
The very next day early in the morning taking wood fuel in his hands Maudgalya came to Maitreya and said: O Maitreya! I have come here to serve you.
Kimarthamiti:
For what reason you have come he asked.
Durdhiyanam va aham prashnamprakshirna tam karishyamiti.
bhavantamovacha twam vam yam vyavocham, twamupaishyami, shantim
Maitreya said: I had called you a fool. Whatever you asked me I could not answer. Now I shall come and serve you and I shall appease you. Sa hovacha-atra va upetam cha sarvam cha krutam papakena twa yanena
charantamahuhu athoyam mama kalyanakastam te dadami tena yahiti.
Maudgalya said: You have come here but people say that you have not come here with pious sentiments. But I shall give you well being based sentiments and after taking it go back to your home.
Sa hovacha. Etadevatratvisham chanrushansya cha yatha bhavanah.
Upayami twevam bhavantamiti.
Maitreya said: What you say bestows fearlessness and kindness. I am here to serve you and have wood in my hands to gift you.
Tam hopeyaya.
At that time he came to serve him I a methodical manner.
Tam hopetya paprachha.
After coming thus he asked.
Kimswidahurbhoha kimahuhu.
saviturvarenyam
bhargo
devasya
kavayaha
Dhiyo vichaksha yadi taha pravettha prachodayansavitayabhireti.
1) Who is the varenya of Savita?
2) What is the Bharga of that deity?
3) Lest you know this speak about the Tatwas of Dhi via which giving inspiration to all Savita moves about everywhere.
Tasma etatprovacha.
He answered thus.
Vedanshchhandasi savitur varenyam bhargo devasya kavayonnamahuhu.
Karmani dhiyastadute prabravimi prachodaynsavitayamireti
1) Veda and Cchanda are Savita's Varenya.
2) Scholarly men call food the light of deities.
3) Action is that intellect principle via which giving inspiration to all.
Tamupasangruhya papracchadhihi bhoha, kaha savita, ka savitri.
On hearing this he asked again, what is Savita? And what is Savita? And what is Savitri?
Maitreya clearly understood Maaudgalya's opinion. When he reflected truthfully he clearly came to know that I do not know that mystery of Gayatri as a result of which it is given so much importance. He thought to himself that if this root reason is not known then merely knowing its vehicle symbols no benefit accrues. Hence by giving discourses on the Vedas what benefits can be accrued when its root cause is not known. Thinking thus he took a decision that at first I shall understand the mystery of Gayatri and then execute other tasks. He gave up all his disciples and himself by becoming truly humble taking wood fuel in his hands with the attitude of a student came to Maudgalya. The rule of attaining knowledge especially Spiritual Science is that the disciple must go to the teacher to study in a humble manner having deep faith in him. By giving up this protocol today's unruly 'students' attain education with such beastly sentiments that this education goes in vain because the Guru's grace is not on them.
Maitreya asked: In the first leg of Gayatri are words which I humbly wish to learn from you.
a. What is the Varenya of Savita? It means that how is radiant Almighty God chosen? Which is that method by which Almighty God can be attained?
b. What is the Bharga of that deity? Deva or divinity means supremely great and Bharga is strength. What is the Bharga of that divinity? It means what is the strength of the supremely great? What is this Dhi? Via which Almighty God inspires everybody? It means what is that medium via which Almighty God's grace showers on us? Thus Maudgalaya was asked these 3 principles by Maitreya.
Maudgalya has given a short compact answer that is very pointing. The more one reflects over the answer seriously the more its deep import gets unfolded. Maudgalya says:
a. Vedas and Chhandas are Varenyas of Savita.
b. Food is Bharga of divinity.
c. Actions are Dhi principles wherein via them Almighty God gives inspiration to all. He advances everything.
Come! Let us cogitate over these 3 questions separately:
a. Vedas mean knowledge and Cchandas mean inference. Via spiritual knowledge and soul wisdom Almighty God but this knowledge must not be superficial or lip service. Just by reading many books akin to loaded ass and giving discourses like a parrot your goal can never be reached. Our spiritual knowledge must be experiential because of which via logic, proof and examples it is proved true. Man's mind must have unbounded faith towards and this faith and knowledge must be put into action in our daily life's routine. At first in a very unbiased, zealous and honest manner it must be seen as to which principle is apt and full of well being. When this trust strengthens that truth, working for others' welfare, self control, honesty and other qualities are meant for our well being from a multifaceted viewpoint
then that very principle must be put into practice in daily worldly transactions. When sacred knowledge matures in the land of faith it is the chief way to attain Almighty God. Mere experience without principles is weak and knowledge devoid of experience is a failure. When man's sacred knowledge gets converted into steadfast faith by giving up hypocrisy, fraud, envy, hatred, scam, unruliness etc when in the entire mental arena only one type of faith gets reinstated there then on that very basis Almighty God is attained. In the admixture of Vedas and Cchandas choice of Savita takes place and via knowledge and experience Almighty God is attained.
b. While answering this question Maudgalya says: The Bharga of divinity is food. The strength of supremacy is its means. Supremacy can be rendered mighty only when for evolving it food is there along with means. Means and materials are energies of Goddess Lakshmi wherein if it gets in the hands of demons it increases their numbers and if it enters the graspof deities divinity increases. Demigods become mightier. If governing of a country is in the hands of wicked people they spread wickedness everywhere. In previous centuries India was ruled by aliens and hence what a downfall was faced by India. Everyone knows about this and hence if political power enters into good pious hands then in a short time akin to Russia and America there is a possibility of attaining a truly advanced state. In his book 'Mother' Shri Aurobindo Ghosh writes that great people must become masters of wealth and then joy and peace shall increase in this world. Lest wealth lands in the hands of demons it should be believed that bad omen is spreading everywhere in the world. Deities require wealth and other materials not for sense titillation, not for greed, not for hoarding, not for exhibiting their arrogant ego and not for injustice but is needed for those energies that help in protecting and increasing divinity in the world. They aspire to become mighty, active and materially/spiritually mighty, active and prosperous. Food and these materials are accepted as symbols of Goddess Lakshmi. The 2nd answer of Maudgalya is that Bharga of deities is food. The might of supremacy is means. Without means poor people shall remain weak only.
c. The 3rd answer of Maudgalya is action itself is the Dhi principle. Via it Almighty God helps everyone progress. It is a definite fact that via grace of Almighty God everyone advances and he inspires everyone to climb higher and higher in life. But this too needs to be understood that the form of that inspiration is Dhi. Dhi means that intellect that gives inspiration and encouragement to execute actions and thus helps engage devotees to work. Anyone showered with grace of Almighty God attains such type of an intellect. If we wish to know whether any person has attained the grace of
Almighty God then you must check whether he is executing actions with zest, zeal, honest hard work, alertness and interest or not. Anyone with this type of a personality definitely has been showered with Dhi principle by Almighty God so as to render the devotee advanced both materially and spiritually.
There are so many people that are lethargic, unruly and wicked. Despair surrounds them from all sides and they work half heartedly and with no interest in it. Even small tasks appear mountainous to them. Even a little bit of work tires them a lot. Know that such people are devoid of Dhi principle. It is quite visible that they do not have grace of Almighty God and in the absence of an intellect that inspires them to work they remain ill fated.
Maudgalya's above message is so profound and true. There are no 2 opinions about this. It could be that the false mind cries aloud about their ill fate, blame their destiny and blaming something else for their mistakes but the situation is this only that he has not attained the grace of Almighty God. This grace is there for everybody and it is in their own hands. By imbibing the Dhi principle and aspiration to work hard anyone can attain Almighty God's grace and advancement. Almighty God never refuses his grace to anyone but it is man's vile intellect that sacrifices this grace.

Etaddhsmaitdwidwansamopakarimasasturbrahmachari mey sansthit iti.
O revered sir that is scholarly and benefactor! This Brahmachari has come here to serve you.
Athaita asastura chit iva chito babhuva athotthay pravrajiditi.
This Brahmachari coming here to you has become fulfilled with wisdom. After this he left that place.
Etaddha aham veda naitasu yonishvitaetebhyo va mithunebhyaha
Sambhuto brahmachari mama purayushaha preyaditi.
And he said that now I have understood it. Coming in this species or in this conjugal bliss none of my Brahmacharis shall be of lesser life span.
Now the question is what is Savita? What is Savitri? Gayatri's deity is said to be Savita. Every Mantra has a deity from which one comes to know as to what is the topic of that Mantra. Since Gayatri's deity is Savita it is known that this Mantra's topic is Savita. Since Savita predominates the other name of Gayatri is Savitri.
Maitreya asked: O Lord! What is this Savita? And what is this Savitri? Maharshi Maudgalya answers that Savita and Savitri are inseparably bound to each other. What one is, is also the other. Both add up to a pair. One is a center and the other is its energy. Both complement each other.
The importance of the path of energy is due to widespread nature of energy. By itself every atom is a mass of infinite energy. By fission of one atom a situation of cosmic annihilation emerges. But this type of activity takes place only when when that energy's amplification and manifestation occurs. Lest this manifestation does not take place then the infinite powerful matter does not exist and none even know about it. Savita is radiant Almighty God and Savitri is its energy. Savitri is not separate from Savita but in fact it is its complement. Its conjugal bliss means they are a pair. It is via Savitri that Almighty God that is beyond thought, not knowable, formless and detached is capable of aiding others to accrue benefits.
This fact can be understood only after profound thinking in a subtle manner. Hence Upanishad authors by giving many examples render them wise. They showcase this mysterious principle in such a way that anyone can understand it with ease. They say:
Mind is Savita, speech is Savitri. Where there is the mind there speech exists and where there is speech there is the mind. These are 2 species and single conjugal bliss. Similarly following are called Mithun viz. fire and earth, air and interstellar space, sun and Dyau, moon and Nakshatras, day and night, heat and cold, Abhra and rains, lightning and thunder, Prana and food, Vedas and Cchandas and Yajna and Dakshina. These are but a few examples and by showcasing these examples Upanishad seers have shown that no material can manifest singularly, cannot come to light and cannot become widespread. Unmanifested things become manifest only when its energy manifests. Only Almighty God is beyond the intellect. We can neither think about him and neither on reaching near him can we accrue benefits. This unmanifested Almighty God Savita via its energy Savitri manifests in the ordinary and via worship of that energy only can he be attained.
This is what the Mithun and Almighty God, Lakshmi-Narayan, Seeta-Ram, Radha-Krishna, Uma-Shankar and Savita-Savitri tells us. All these complement each other and are causes for manifestation. The living being too because of Maya becomes visible from the invisible. This Mithun is not to be looked down upon and not worth ignoring but is there for amplifiction of mobility. Man's advancement cannot be one sided. He has to amplify his energy. Those that augment their energy, they only can march ahead towards total development.
Energy and possessor of energy have complementary relationship. Just as Savita oozes with Savitri in the same way we too must completely fill ourselves up with multifaceted energies. We must unite innumerable people to build an organization. The more someone possesses Mithun, the happier he is.
On knowing about the mystery of energy and owner of energy Maitreya felt very contented. He said that he his disciple has become self fulfilled with the true knowledge of spiritual philosophy. I have now understood that any disciple of mine that shall know about the mystery of Yoni and Mithun he shall not have a short life span. He by looking upon peace as his inseparable part shall not misuse it. Instead via wholesome usage shall accrue benefits from all angles. In this manner after understanding the importance of energy its wholesome users shall never live only for a short life span.

Those who know it in this manner and that scholar by knowing it gives discourses in the same way, his lineage and life remains inseparable.
As long as Brahma was self centered till then there were no materials. But when he wished that from one I become many then due to this desire power this cosmos got created. When Brahma witnessed this world in it he saw 3 things that predominated. They were divine grandeur, reinstation and knowledge. How can one attain these 3 extraordinary materials of happiness? While unveiling this mystery Brahma said: Execute austerities. It means zealously execute hard work. How is it possible? In which way via penance desired things are availed? This also was clarified by Brahma in a superb manner. Lest we imbibe the vow of austerities, lest with interest and hard work becomes our very nature definitely one gets reinstated in truth. Definitely the true path is unearthed and a creature treading this path attains whatever he wishes.
Who shall be chosen as one deserving this grandeur, reinstation and knowledge? None deserves these extraordinary means of joy. Savita and Almighty God in their power of existence created Brahmins and they were surrounded from all sides by Savitri energy. A person is a true Brahmin if Sat or existence principle is special and if he is immersed in thoughts of Almighty God. Such people are surrounded by divine sentiments and divine energies. It is such a one tht attains grandeur, reinstation and knowledge. It is they who use it wholesomely so as to accrue benefits. Others are not eligible for these three. If by force and in an undeserving manner one attains these, they shall realize that these things are nothing short of hardships for them.
Those people surrounded with demonic sentiments cannot be called men of austerities. They cannot attain these things via an apt path, penance and honesty since they lack it. Under such situations when they try to attain grandeur, reinstation and knowledge for themselves they become the cause of hardships for others too. Today we witness that wealthy people in order to amass more of it use such fraudulent means. On amassing it inaptly they misuse it for inapt activities. There is no dearth of leaders, so called saints and ascetics that misuse their high status. These people by hook or by crook try to attain name and fame and others' adulation. There is just no lack of people that misuse knowledge. There is no dearth of lawyers that prove right as wrong and vice versa. There is no dearth of authors, painters etc that write and paint porn type of material full of titillation. There are others who via false advertisements misuse their knowledge power. When such false types of people attain these 3 energies they only misuse it. The definite result of misuse is that it is taken away. It is the law of nature that if these energies land in the hands of vile people it goes away from them in a very short time.
Only true Brahmins and those that are divine in nature are elegible for the above mentioned benefits in a permanent manner. This is a divine law. If one wishes to become eligible for the above 3 energies in a permanent manner and they wish to imbibe it forever they must become true Brahmins. In our qualities, actions and inner nature divine sentiments must predominate. Only then this divine principle shall stay with them on a permanent basis. Savita and Almighty God via their Savitri, Sat energy etc have surrounded the true Brahmin. We must make honest efforts to become a true Brahmin via austerities, Yoga, Yajna, truth, love and justice so that we become eligible of these 3 divine joys in the world.
While throwing light on how grandeur reaches permanently with Brahmins authors of Upanishads have enumerated mutual relationships and that how the sequence of mutual relationship helps in making one capable of attaining this type of prosperity.
The 1st leg of Super Mantra Gayatri 'tatsaviturvarenyam' is said to be the representative of Bhuhu. Via 3 Vyahvritis i.e. via Bhuhu, Bhuvaha and Swaha Gayatri's 3 legs have emerged. Bhuhu is earth. In earth via earth denizens Rig or knowledge was conjoined. Via knowledge fire or actions were conjoined and via fire grandeur meaning via actions grandeur was conjoined. Via grandeur females meaning contentment was conjoined. Via contentment Mithun meaning a pair was formed. Via friendship that emerged subjects meaning plural relationships got established. Via cooperation with plurality actions were executed and via sacred actions more enterprise took place for austerities. Via austerities a great path got unveiled and via this path Almighty God was attained. One that attained this was called a true Brahmin and he imbibed religious vows. He promised to behave and think in an ethical manner. In this manner when anyone's life oozes with high stature sacred ideals that Brahmin is sharp, self fulfilled and complete. There lacks nothing in his brilliant sharpness, activities and self fulfillment and none can break it apart.
Those who have this type of knowledge those that describe Gayatri thus his life and lineage remain imperishable.
The word meaning of Gayatri is very commonplace. One cannot attain that benefit by merely understanding it that one is generally capable of attaining it. Almighty God has made certain people eligible for the 3 jewels called grandeur, status and knowledge. Such people are surrounded with Gayatri. It means that within the precincts of Gayatri those that have attained the divine principle only they shall attain material and spiritual bliss. Those whose hunger fire is intense for them even ordinary classed food become their liking and nourishing. Those whose fire of hunger is weak for them even pure unadulterated food makes them ill. A person's soul fire of hunger surrounded by Gayatri executing divine activities is deep like this. Even with meager amounts of food items he gets enough nectarine taste.
That one who knows that the real goal of Gayatri's 1st leg is to render human life oozing with a vow of high stature idealism only such a one understands its deep import. Those who put into practice this knowledge-meaning he makes himself like that only his life remains whole and complete. It means he does experience any kind of downfall in life and his lineage also does not get destroyed. Later too till many births this sentiment does not get destroyed. Due to this completeness he never experiences a dearth of grandeur, status and knowledge.
Bhargo devasya dhimahiiti savitryaha dwitiyaha padaha.
'Bhargo devasya dhimahi' is the 2nd leg of Savitri.
Antarikshena yajuhu samaddhat yajusha vayum vayuna abhram.

Yaju is conjoined to interstellar space. Yajurveda to air, from air clouds, from clouds rains, from rains herbs and plants, from herbs and plants beasts, from beasts actions, from actions austerities, from austerities truth, from truth Almighty God, from Almighty God Braahmins, from Braahmins religious vows and from vows Braahmins become sharp, complete and inseparable.
Avicchinnosyatanturavicchinam jivanam bhavati ya evam veda
Yashchaivam vidwanevametam savitryaha dwitiyam padam vyachashte.
That scolar on understanding thus describe the 2nd leg of Savitri. His linage and life remain inseparable.
In the previous Kandika by conjoining Bhuhu to Rig the mystery of the 1st leg was taught. In this Kandika the 2nd leg of Gayatri is being described. Yajuhu is being conjoined to Bhuvaha and interstellar space. Yajuhu is synonymous with Yajnas. Yajna is spiritual. In the 1st Kandika via knowledge the method of attaining a life of sacred ideals was showcased. Over here is described the sequence of leading a life of religious vows via Yajna.
Via Bhuvaha in interstellar space Yaju was conjoined. Via Yaju air, via air clouds, via clouds rains, via rains herbs and plants, via herbs and plants beasts were conjoined. In the Bhagwad Geeta scripture, the same description of method of Yajna is given. Via Yajna air gets purified. Due to contact with purified air of good quality, water showers down. Via it trees, plants and animals become imbued with great principles. By using it the psyche of humans becomes great and via a great mind great activities are carried out.
Actions were conjoined to austerities and austerities to truth, truth to Almighty God, Almighty God to Braahmins and Braahmins were conjoined to the mind. Ultimately this cycle came into being. By imbibing religious vows a Braahmin becomes brilliantly sharp and one with an inseparable lineage.
That which is attained via knowledge later can also be attained via great actions of great Yajnas. Great sentiments emerging from a high stature psyche renders entire space and atmosphere oozing with truth and existence. In this atmosphere all materials that reside in it become fulfilled with Sat or existence. Even due to watery atmosphere man being immerse in Almighty God Even due to watery atmosphere man being immersed in Almighty God and religious vows leading to an inseparable life. This is the meaning of the 2nd Kandika.
Dhiyo yon aha prachodayatiti savitryastrutiyaha padaha.
'Dhiyo yon aha prachodayat' is Savitri's 3rd leg.
Diva sama samaddhat samnadityam adityena rashmin rashmibhirvarsham varshenau shadhivanaspatin aushadhivan arahmspatibhihi pashun, pashubhihi karma, karmana tapaha tapasa satyam satyena brahmanaa brahmanam braahmanena vratam vratena vai brahmanaha sanshito bhavatyashunyo bhavatyavicchinno bhavati. Avicchinnosya tanturavicchinnam jivanam bhavati ya evam veda, yashchaivam vidwanevametam savitryastritiyam padam vyachashte.
Via Dyuloka it conjoins to Sama, via Sama Aditya, via the sun rays, via the rays rain, via rain herbs and plants, via herbs and plants beasts, via beasts actions, via actions austerities, via austerities truth, via truth Almighty God, via Almighty God Brahmins, via Brahmins religious vows, via religious vows a Brahmin has a brilliantly sharp, complete and inseparable lineage. The 3rd leg of Gayatri has emerged from Swaha. Swah is Dyuloka. Dyuloka has been conjoined to Samaveda. Via Sama sun, via sun rays, via rays rains, via rays herbs and plants and to them are conjoined animals. By using it via
the type mentioned in the previous Kandika man becoming divine with religious vows leads and inseparable life and lineage.
In all 3 legs of Gayatri that science is embedded via which man attains grandeur, status and knowledge. The 3 legs are created from 3 Vedas. Every leg symbolizes the 3 worlds. Via these 3 worlds these Mantras of the 3 Vedas pull out required materials. In this manner a Gayatri seeker becomes happy from all standpoints. In it there is not merely personal benefit but world society too benefits. Just as by conducting a Yajna air gets purified, best rainfall occurs and from it high quality crops and milk are produced similarly via Gayatri this process gets fulfilled. This relationship based sequences has hidden in it a very profound material science. How is one material connected to the other one? We have described a little bit of it in a spiritual based manner but in it there are innumerable mysteries present in it. As per material science too these results manifest due to which a devotee of Gayatri benefit quite well in the form of grandeur, status and knowledge. Finally on attaining Almighty God he lives an imperishable or immortal life. He does not get emeshed or bound by old age and death. This then is the hidden mystery of 3 legged Gayatri.
Tena ha va enam vidusha brahmanena brahmaabhpannam grasitam paramrishtam.
Via a Brahmin knowing 3 legs of Savitri Almighty God is attained, digested and realized.
Brahmana akashamabhipannam grasitam paramrishtam akashena vayurbhipanno grasitaha paramrishtaha. Vayuna jyotirabhipannam grasitam paramrishtam. Jyotishapobhipanna grasitaha paramrishtaha.

Via Almighty God space is attained digested and realized. Via space wind is attained digested and realized. Via space light is attained digested and realized. Via light water is attained digested and realized. Via water earth is attained digested and realized. Via earth food is attained digested and realized. Via food Prana is attained digested and realized. Via Prana mind is srealized. Via speech Veda is attained digested and realized. Via Vedas Yajna is attained digested and realized. In those that imbibe this sort of knowledge these 12 great elements are reinstated. In this Yajna reigns supreme.
Those who know fully well the mystery of 3 legs of Gayatri described in the 3 previous Kandikas via that Brahmin Almighty God is attained digested and realized. It means that such a Brahmin attains Almighty God, after attaining him he digests God within and he gets covered by God. Within and without him only Almighty God's existence is at work.
Now those 12 chains shall be spoken about which by reflecting upon it becomes crystal clear that the root of 5 elements, 4 fold psyche, Vedas and Yajna is Almighty God. From Almighty God only akin to one chain after another all are conjoined to each other and ooze with God only.
It has already been said that via Almighty God space, via space wind, via wind fire, via fire water, via water earth, via earth food, via food Prana, via Prana mind, via mind speech, via speech Vedas and via Vedas Yajna is attained digested and realized.
Almighty God cannot be directly visualized by our physical eyes. People with little knowledge understand that this body made of 5 elements does everything. They are told that these 5 elements and the consciousness of mind, intellect etc within you are not separate from Almighty God but are
covered by it. Lest Almighty God had not covered them its activities come to a grinding halt and not a single element can work.
He who in nature, in the body made of 5 elements, in the mind etc see God immersed in them is called a true Brahmin. He is surrounded by Vedas and Yajnas which means goodwill based wisdom and great activities are widespread in every pore of his being. In all this knowledge Yajna and great activities reign supreme. This is because that the essence of this knowledge is that man must immerse himself in great actions. Anyone knowing this mystery in him all beings is reinstated and dwell in them which means he realizes that the widespread cosmos is within him only.

This Yajna is established in the Vedas. Speech is established in the mind. Mind is established in the Pranas. Prana is established in food. Food is established in earth. Earth is established in water. Water is established in light. Light is established in wind. Wind is established in space. Space is established in Almighty God. Almighty God is reinstated in a Brahmin that knows Brahman or Almighty God. A knower of Almighty God knowing thus attains good merits and glory and attains divine fragrances. Such a person becoming sinless attains infinite material and spiritual grandeur.
In the previous Kandika Yajnas were said to be supreme. But we must keep in mind that those who say that they know Yajnas actually do not know them. The reason is that some persons on seeing the external form of any task infer whether they are good or bad in nature. But in reality there is no relationship of Yajna with external work because it is dependent on inner sentiments. This could be that someone does high profile charity and meritorious tasks, Agnihotra or fire sacrifice, feeding Brahmins, pilgrimages etc but in it their aim is to gain fame or some other benefits. In the same way akin to a doctor performing an operation/surgery such tasks also can be executed that appear to be sinful but due to the pious character of the doer they could be great activities. Hence which person is doing Yajna or not this decision can be taken the conscience of people. For outsiders in quite a major way despite it being possible to know is not possible in a complete manner.
In the previous Kandika 12 chains were counted from one side but in this Kandika they are counted from the other end. It means the sequence has become lopsided:
Yajna in Vedas, Vedas in speech, speech in mind, mind in Prana, Prana in food, food in earth, earth in water, water in light, light in wind, wind in space, space in Almighty God and Almighty God is reinstated in Brahmins. In this manner one end of the chain has Brahmin and at the other end is Yajna. One end is Yajna and the other end is Brahmin. A true Brahmin is he that drips with good will knowledge and actions. From another way this can be taken as that person who drips with good will knowledge and actions is a true Brahmin.
Those who know thus, those that are Almighty God realized akin to fragrance attains glory. Since he becomes sinless he enjoys infinite grandeur. By becoming a seeker of divine wisdom he becomes a seeker of Upanishad of Vedamata Gayatri. It means that he imbibes great divine wisdom as described in this Upanishad in his psyche and his life oozes with it. Such a Brahmin is a true knower of great scriptures.
