My learning & experiences from Siddha Mulavarga Srividya sadhana teachings: By Sri Kamalananda (India)
Om Sri Matha Lalithambika Rajarajeshwari Maha Tripura Sundari Saranam mama With surrenderance and humility to Mother Divine, Moolanji and Guruji, I would like to share my learning and experience. Most of the earlier generations in our family were practicing meditation. At the age of 20, I attended a meditation class during which I got the initiation. I started practicing it and I could notice few changes in myself. I was pursuing my B.E and was irregular. I got re-initiated twice but due to lack of sincerity, I could not progress and discontinued. In December 2015, my friend informed me about a personality development workshop which both of our families attended. I was very much impressed with it. My friend informed me about a 4-day workshop that the same organization conducts. I was interested and asked him to inform me when the program dates are published. Couple of weeks later, my friend called me and informed me about the workshop and told me that he has forwarded the details of the workshop. I readily agreed to enroll for the workshop even without looking into details. I was eagerly waiting for the workshop. One day before the workshop, I got the venue details from my friend. I reached the venue and met my friend. We both entered the workshop. Only then I realized that it was SriVidya and not the personality development. I had absolutely no clue about what SriVidya Sadhana was all about. The seats were full and people eagerly waiting for the session to start. Then came a young gentleman dressed in white. He started with prayers and soon I realized that the person was the Guruji. I was just a mute spectator. I had heard of instances about people ending up being prey of commercial workshops of meditation and spirituality. I just prayed that I don’t end up being one such victim. The session started and he started with mantra chanting. I followed the procedure. While teaching the principles of Srividya, Guruji spoke about importance of knowing who the master is before surrendering. This was something like addressing my worry. I wondered if he read my thoughts and felt guilty for being suspicious about Guruji. This gave me a relief and was able to concentrate in the workshop. When the day ended, I touched the feet of Guruji for blessings. I felt a heat in my lower back at the location in my back, which had slip discs two years ago. Confidence deep rooted in my mind and thoughts and no look back in my life. Then I discussed with my friend and learnt from him that he had taken kriya yoga diksha from the same Guruji and he has been practicing it. I would like to share my learning from teachings and experiences. How Siddha Healing helped Principle – “Mantra is 5%-10%, intent and devotion is 95% that matters”
During my first month of Srividya Practice, I was able to pass siddha-healing energies to a cancer patient who was on life support. A day later when I called to enquire how the condition of the patient, I was told that he was out of danger and later discharged from hospital. Inspired by this, my wife also enrolled for Srividya Sadhana. During our discussion, she pointed out that I was chanting one word wrong in soul mantra. I wondered even with incorrect chanting, the energies were still channeled. This reminded me of the principle that Guruji used to state “Mantra is 5%-10%, intent and devotion is 95% that matters” How Srividya Sadhana Helped me as a Student Principle(s) “Achieving your heart desires using positive thinking and visualization” “Where there is focus, there is energy and result” I wanted to pursue my M.Tech and wanted to take up entrance exam. One of my friends at office reminded me of the dates of the exam. I read through the syllabus of exam and knew that coaching is required as it had been 14 years that I had graduated. The same night, I started searching in for a coaching institute. I found a blog with contact details at 11:45 in the night. Next day I spoke to the person and I joined. He was younger than me but very knowledgeable. He gave me very valuable guidance including how should I manage my study time. There were only 4 M.Tech seats (Part Time) reserved for the people working in IT industry. I started applying the principle of “Positive thinking and visualization of the goal”. This always helped me maintain positive mindset and prepare for exam. Two of the eleven subjects I skipped, as I had no idea about it. On the day of exam, I finished my preparation early. Did my regular Sriyantra pooja and started to exam center. I was very calm, did not think much about exam. In the exam hall, I prayed to mother divine and moolanji that I have done my best and need their guidance in answering the questions from subjects that I had skipped. Exam started and I followed the guidelines provided by my coach. The last minute bell rang. I had 8 questions unanswered from the skipped subjects. I answered the 8 with out even reading the question, as it was multiplechoice question. When the results was announced, I got to know that I had secured 4th rank including Full time and Part Time students who had appeared in the exam. Also 6 out of 8 answers that I had blindly marked were correct. How Srividya Sadhana helped me as a house holder Principle – “Inner world, creates outer world” “Protect yourself and your family” “Being aware of Thoughts and Emotions ” “Surrendering the worries” “Meditate regularly and sincerely” “Taken care of” As a householder, we need to deal with various types of people and situations. Staying positive plays a vital role under all circumstances. The moment we let negative thoughts play on our mind, we end up loosing ourselves to anger and frustration. In the beginning, I had to make conscious effort to keep thinking positive. I kept a watch on how I feel and what did I spend more time thinking about through the day. This helped me identify what are the things that my mind is more concerned about. Whenever I encountered a situation that made me emotional or angry, I used to defer the conversation to take control of situation. I used to surrender all such thoughts during my meditation and pooja. I started noticing that I felt more relieved and
composed. As days passed by, I started noticing that I needed less conscious effort to watch my emotion as I was more peaceful and calm. How Srividya Sadhana helped me in my work Principle(s) – “Taken care of” “Being aware of Thoughts and Emotions ” “Protect yourself and thoughts” One of the major aspects of life for any individual is being happy at work. With lot of dynamics at work and rat race in corporate work environment, work could become hectic and not a joy. Adding to this is insecurity of job. With Job cuts all around, being one of the best performers, one need to have good people around. With regular meditation, I was able to discard all negative thoughts. I avoided getting into discussions in groups that involved passing negative thoughts. In unavoidable situations, I used to add protection to thoughts and myself. Meditation always gave me a confidence that I am taken care of and let divine handle the rest. How Srividya Sadhana helped me as an Individual (spiritually) Principle(s) – “Taken care of” “Being aware of Thoughts and Emotions ” “Surrender” “Living in the present” “Living the experiences” “Aligning soul and mind” “Let go, Let divine” I needed a clarification for a question triggered by my thought. I, E-mailed Guruji. Guruji responded saying that living the experiences of meditation in daily life is the way to progress. After meditation, I used try to think about my experiences and find out what I need to implement in daily life. I had couple of blissful experiences in form of divine energies but could not find any experience that I could implement. The next workshop was announced and I planned to attend to ask for details about the E-mail response. In the workshop, he was emphasizing on “Being aware of Thoughts and Emotions ”. Students in the session were enquiring about gap between levels. Guruji said 8 weeks is the minimum. A thought struck that let me implement the teaching “Being aware of Thoughts and Emotions” for 8 weeks. I completely forgot to seek clarification to E-mail response. This was an icebreaker for me. I started understanding myself. How I thought and reacted to situations and comments. Every time when I had a thought that was due to disagreement with others or situation, I started asking “what if so?”, “why not?”. Gradually, I started realizing that it is trick of mind to keep me busy in unwanted, useless thoughts. This led to alignment of soul and mind. Today, I am able to differentiate what to ignore and what to consider. This made me live in the present moment. In the next workshop, I picked up the teaching of “Surrender”. One of the initial challenges for the beginners while meditation is “distracted by thoughts”. I started implementing the surrenderance technique that was taught by Guruji when we are concerned about any situation/goal/relationship/job. As I started implementing each of the principles taught, I was able to observer lessons in my meditation. My connect with masters and mother divine became stronger. I implement the experiences and lessons every day and every moment. I live every
moment of my life with divine and masters. I have been playful with divine mother. She is always around me – alive. If anybody scolds me or attempts to hurt me, I connect to mother divine and request to convey my thanks to their higher-self for clearing one item from my karmic baggage and pray mother divine to bless them as they are ignorant about their actions and thoughts. I pray to divine to help them in learning their lessons and bless them a better life. Today, even people who disliked me earlier walk up to me and talk. I see a smile and joy when they approach to talk to me. Change in me first led to change in others. Life is joyful and world is beautiful. Guruji has been generous by accepting me as a student and sharing sacred knowledge of Srividya, guiding me through all situations. Moolanji has been guiding me in my spiritual growth. Other than surrendering myself , I don’t know a way to convey my thanks to my mother divine for blessing me with Srividya, Moolanji and Guruji who are my guardians.
