I have had a series of spectacular experiences some of which I have already forgotten. However, some of the experiences I remember about the Gita are as follows
1) I was very fortunate to have the darshana of Krishna Bhagwana. He started off with many many shlokas all praising his Guru. He praised his Guru when he was Rama i.e. Vasishta Maharaj and his own Guru. The shlokas were in sanskrita but as is typical in the Sukshma world, language is no barrier and miraculously I could understand all that was said. At the end of the shlokas, Krishna bhagwana told me these are the missing shlokas in the Bhagwada Gita. The point being that in the entire Gita, there are no shlokas that praise the importance of a Guru. The truth of the matter is the supreme cannot be reached without the grace of a Guru.
When I told Dineshuncle about this, he praised our Gurudev very highly. My gurudev only spent a few minutes with his Gurudev and reached the highest. (I will explain this in more detail some other time).
2) A few days later, I had the extreme pleasure of having the darshana of Vishnutirthji Maharaja. All advanced disciples have 2 Gurus. One guru for the gross physical world or sthula world and another Guru for the Sukshma world or astral world or subtle world. At times the Guru maybe the same or other times it maybe a different Guru. In my case, my Gurudev for the gross physical world is Sombargiri Maharaj and for the subtle world it is Vishnutirthji Maharaja. For Paramhansa Yogananda, his gross physical world teacher was Yukteshwara maharaja and for the subtle world it was Lahiri Mahashaya.
Bade Guruji (Vishnutirthji Maharaja) was all joy, with a tremendous smile on his face and seated. He did not have a shirt on but had a dhoti. His face was beaming with the light of God. His joy was very infectious. This experience occured to me 3 days before Raksha bandhana in 2009. Before I could say anything, he smiled and said, he will take me to the highest. Even before the thoughts had fully formulated in my mind, he continued, yes, of course, I promise. I promise to be bound till you reach the highest. (the true meaning of Raksha Bandhana). His statement gave me great joy and pleasure. The next question that passed my mind is, who is my true Guru. Once again, he answered with a big smile on his face. If your goal is to be somewhere at 7 am, can you tell the difference if your taken a certain distance by one person and the remaining distance by someone else? The goal is more important than anything else.
Lastly he asked me, do you know the Gita for a abhyasi? I said no. He said, the Gita for an abhyasi is Devatma Shakti the only book he wrote in English. Then he told me to give this message to Pramodhbhai Jaiswal. I immediately travelled astrally and gave the message to him. However, I intuitively sensed the message was not translated to the gross physical world. I called him personally a few days later and conveyed the message. I was surprised to hear from him that he felt he was stuck for the last 2 weeks and was looking for a book to help answer his question “there is tremendous joy in his meditation but what next?”. At present, I am not at liberty to discuss a few more things on the matter.
3) In the Gita, there are many shlokas which praise the importance of Gita. One of the shlokas, Lord Krishna says Oh Arjuna Gita is my divine abode! Gita goes by many names, Gita, Ganga, Gayatri, Sita, Satya, Saraswati, Ardhmatra, Chidananda, Bhavagni, Bhayanashini, etc. In the end Lord Krishna says, anyone who does the Gita Patha (studies the Gita) is liberated.
Gurudev always said this, but till I had the experience I could understand but not appreciate it. In deep meditation, when one goes very deep, so deep that one is far beyond the sounds of the gross world, there are very subtle sounds of the atoms, that are constantly played within. This divine music, is heard when one has full attention on the Agna Chakra. These sounds, is the symphony of sounds, very melodious. These sounds are the true Gita. Listening to these sounds is the true study of Gita (Gita patha). These sounds go by many names including Gita, Ganga, gayatri, etc.
One more thing, one should not confuse the sounds of the initial meditation with the divine symphony which I am alluding to. Nada or music is heard at 3 different levels. 1. The sounds of the gross body. 2. The sounds which occur from an intermediary stage which is heard easily but does not give any divine power and after a while becomes painful or not fun to hear. 3. The divine sounds that come from the deepest atomic level. These are the true sounds and listening to these sounds or nada gives us various Siddhis. The true Gita is the sound at this level.
The word Gita itself means song. The word Bhagvada means God so Bhagvada Gita means the divine song of God. There is no other truer Gita than listening to the celestial music. I am using words which have been used by Paramhansa Yogananda, one of my favorite spiritual guides.
