The greatest manifestation of Om or the holy Ghost as the Christians call it, is Hanumanji. There never was and I suspect there will never be a greater manifestation. He is the supreme ruler who effortlessly does all the work and is still alive. Amazingly, Rama Bhagwan took samadhi, but his Guru Vasishtha Maharaj, his disciple Hanumanji and Ravanas brother Vibhishana are still alive. My guru from the subtle world, Vishnutirthji Maharaj told me a few weeks ago that his favorite verse in Sundarkanda by Tulsidaji was verse 54. I have copied the meaning of the verses here.Each of these monkeys is as mighty as Sugriva (the king) and there are tens ofmillions like them; who can dare count them? By the grace of Rama they areunequalled in strength and reckon the three spheres of creation as of no more accountthan a blade of grass. I have heard it said, Ravana, that the commanders of the variousmonkey-troops alone number eighteen thousand billions. In the whole host, my lord, thereis not a single monkey who would not conquer you in battle. They are all wringing theirhands in excess of passion; but the Lord of the Raghus does not order them (to march)…We shall suck the ocean dry with all its fish and serpents or fill it up with hugemountains. Nay, we shall crush the ten-headed Ravana and reduce him to dust.. Suchwere the words that all the monkeys uttered. Fearless by nature, they roared and bulliedas if they would devour.
This whole Shloka refers to the Hanumanji who is Om. This is the universal prana which runs the entire universe and Hanumanji is the living embodiment of this universal prana. The other ten million monkeys in the verse refers to the ten different kinds of Pranas in the body. The ten pranas have tremendous power and under the supreme order of God (Rama), and the guidance of Hanumanji, they have the ability to destroy ego (Ravana). The process whereby this happens is sucking the ocean dry (meaning sucking all the prana from the body and thus destroying all vices) and they fill up the mountain (referring to Sushumna). At this time they have a very loud roar (which refers to one of the anahata nada) heard. This is the sound of Om. The word roar is used which is reminescent of the word used in the bible – Gods voice is likened to a thunder or roar. It is the constant rumbling / roar heard as a symphony of music at the Agna chakra (or when fully everted – the manas chakra).
This interpretation which I have given will be very difficult for anyone who has not experienced the manas chakra or the everted Agna chakra to understand. To reiterate and speak in more plain words – at the Agna chakra, when one is fully surrendered with the ability to fully stay there without any reservation one begins to experience several things simultaneously.
1) A constant symphony of music that is very endearing. At the apex of the symphony is a constant roar the sound of undifferentated Om
2) With more perseverance one begins to realize that this roar or soun is Shakti, the holy ghost, Hanumanji or the universal prana that controls and runs the entire universe.
3) This universal prana or holy Ghost runs solely at the Will of God.
4) The best sadhaka has no personal wish but to merge his wish into the supreme Will of God.
This is the beginning of Sankalpa Shakti. This is the beginning of conquering dreams. At this stage, one goes beyond certain Mantras or the automatic recital of certan shlokas or mantras.
