Today, we were reciting Sunderkanda. Now, in the version of Sunderkanda as recited by Ashwin Pathak, in some of the shlokas he follows it by Shree Rama Sharnam mama. However, he speaks Ramaa instead of the traditional Rama without an aa at the end of m. The normal and real pronounciation is M with an abrupt end.
This difference in pronounciation makes a tremendous difference. When pronounced with the longer aa, the prana or vital energy of the body leaves the body. However, when I recited it with the shorter a, the abrupt ending of m in Ram, the prana actually stays within the body and if you have a pure anarkarana, the prana actually starts to go within. Moreover, today as I was reciting it, everytime I said Ram the body actually felt pleasure. I cannot describe it further except make a simple statement that the cells in the body, the body itself had some soft of pleasure in the recitation.
Before I forget I should add that in the previous experience in which Gurudev narrated what had happened to Mataji at the time of her passing, it was Gurudev in the new body, who told me about it!
As per Aurobindo’s way of describing it, the cleaning process for the mental portion of the subconscient is complete. I suspect the next 2 parts that need to be cleaned are the vital and then the physical part of the subconscient.
Yesterday, my daughter Viha was extremely upset and emotional. I finally laid down on the swing in the living room, did Trataka (yes, I can do it very succesfully now) at the agna chakra and sent in my prana in her body and turned it within. The change in her is dramatic and immediate. She has learnt it is very important not to be emotional and today for the first time while we sat together to do her college application etc, she was able to focus without being upset.
One other incident, we were driving and I suddenly had the bhava of helping the kids by giving them the jagrat mantra of Kashinathdada. The mantra is very much alive in me and I give both Pujan and Viha the mantra and asked them to recite it after me. My only wish was that in the future, in their life time if they have hardships, the mantra can help them. All that was needed was for them to recite the mantra once, out aloud after me. They both missed the opportunity and chose to fight me and question me on it. I got upset and angry, the rest of the family has no idea why I was upset and what they missed out on.
Similarly, once when we were driving, I saw Ganapati dada in front of me….I immediately asked everyone to be silent and pray and recite the ganesh mantra. How unfortunate for my mother that she could not even recite the name of Ganapati dada for 30 seconds before she chose to ask questions about friends in Dover. My mother will never understand many opportunities she has missed out in life because of her constant habit of interrupting when divine blessings are about to fall on her! I get upset with her but she still cannot modify her behavior. Incidentally, she has 10,000 more years before she will reach salvation.
Lastly 2 more disclaimers. Please do not take everything that I say at face value. The experiences are real, but there is always a slight possibility of misunderstanding an experience on my part. I have no desire to start a new religion or a sect or people following anything that I say. Only accept the things that are written in the scriptures. My experiences are entirely in accordance with the scriptures though.
Today, after an interval of many years, I was able to do the Kriya Yoga again. This is the real kriya yoga where when you take the breath in, the breath and the prana disappears completely and you have to inhale again (there is no exhalation). This is called Kriya yoga or keval pranayama or keval kumbhaka. The scriptures describe that a person can finish of the karama of an entire life with one pranayam. However to achieve that, this is the only and true way of doing the pranayam where it can be accomplished.
