A yogi poem

I die while I listen to music then I learn to speak Alphabet comes from wisdom Wisdom is in silence i took wisdom away immortal is he

Do you really believe in Yoga?

True yoga talks about many fantastic claims with power over elements of nature Like Babaji did! Or Kabir Or Yukteshwar They really have mastery over the chakras and universe But since very few can reach that stage , everyone will think it is a fairy tale or symbolism And people will go about in their …

The higher you reach….

The less you speak. Many great and greater than great Guru are out there. But they hardly speak. The secrets are kept secrets what is the method with which Jesus brought a very dead Lazarus back to life? Or the method with which Babaji created a palace? Or Gyaneshwar moved a patio / wall Such …

The problem is ..😔

Those who try to walk on the path of religion / spirituality have a a self created enemy. Their own pre conceived notion – a lot of it coming from reading false interpretations, given to them by their gurus, or parents etc That’s why it is very important to find and read from an experienced …

Are you a yogi?

Simple question. The answer is no Just answer this question honestly On a day off – with no wordly responsibility- do you just sit in meditation without food or water – no communication with anyone and enjoy the presence of divine ? Just a quiet dark room without any electronics! Don’t mislead yourself in noble …

Agni

Yogashikupanishad and chandogya Upanishad both have described 5 types of Agni Anyone can translate it and give the interpretation of the five types of fire. However the stupid materialistic people can only give an explanation based on the material types of Fire – like fire in wood , fire in atom, etc But, for a …

A challenge

In life we have a choice. Either case , it is a challenge Choice one, learn to deal with numerous challenges in life. This will Conti throughout life Choice two, learn to overcome the weakness of your own mind. In my opinion choice two is more enduring from life to life

Different faiths

So , humans in the species Homo sapiens have been around for 300,000 years or more The names that we know of – God or God like figures are Rama Krishna, ( 5000 years ? ) Jesus ( 2000 years) chaitanya maha prabhu ( 500 years ) swami Narayana ( 200 years ) approximately are …

Forgiveness

This year’s new year message from the Pope – if, IF what’s app is to be believed – is about forgiveness It is fairly short and talks about forgiveness in the family -referring to – no one in this world is perfect What is missing in the message is the understanding – why forgiveness and …

Consciousness and the world

Anything of the world – your personal world – which is the body – breathing, walking talking , enjoying the senses is not needed for the pure consciousness It is majestic and divine In fact to be there – ( although you are already there) – all physical aspects of the body including breathing must …

Upanishad

The statements made in Vedas, shastras, and upanishad are made for a Yogi All that people think they understand is incorrect until you are deep in meditation The creators of those grand scriptures were supremely intelligent. Every word they used – worship the sun the moon or fire had NOTHING to do with the things …

My wishes are not fulfilled

This is often Gods way of bringing you back to him Thats when we begin to think of futility of the world and look for happiness in God and within It’s not always a bad thing! Of course when I talk about it , there is a lot more behind it

Kali Yuga

In this Yuga , whether it is Kali or dwapar every household is unhappy With constant fights or anguish amongst spouses or in laws or parents children Moreover, there are financial problems and work anguish So where will you go for peace ? Who will you run to ? A religious organization? They are often …

Clap

Clap And clap again Clap creates sound Sound comes from air Air comes from God Clap to reach God Clap again and again This is a very short yogic poem It has nothing to do with the “Bhakti” and clapping that you know of

Body necessities

As long as soul is in body , bodily needs and demands will always surface The top most yogis are an exception. Like Babaji, gorakhnath, bharthruhari, Gurudev, parmanand maharaj, LAL ded, trailoki baba Such persons are very rare. Very few are permitted to go to that level

A dreamer

A wise man wanted to help. But the helpless person was so much in deep sleep – he / she could only want to improve his sleep and dream but did not want to wake up! If your back is facing the sun how can you possibly see it ? Wake up !

Cogito ergo sum

This was said by Rene Descartes It means I think therefore I am For a yogi this is a laughable logic The statement for a yogi is the exact opposite Patanjali said it perfectly in Yoga Darshan sattva purusha anyataa khyaatimaatrasya sarvabhaava adhishthaatrtvam sarvajnaatrtvam ca This is verse 50 chapter 3 Intelligence is different from …

Shaivism

This is the highest All other vedas Purana and Shastra arise from the lower steps of shaivism Impossible to understand though unless all lower steps are completed As long as your not ready , the mind will be satisfied with Kirtan, shastra, and refuse to accept anything a step above Such yogi are very rare

What is knowledge?

Using your brain or understanding is NOT knowledge That maybe a step toward God but just a beginning True knowledge starts after Samadhi Like Mahavir It is very rare

Rare

It is a rare soul that opens Brahmanadi or Sushumna Until it is open – there is no moksha, no knowledge and no Bhakti Whatever we think we do remains an illusion of Maya

Our fore fathers were right

They lived in Forrest’s. They practiced what is now known in Japan as Shinrin-yoku http://www.shinrin-yoku.org/shinrin-yoku.html Our Rishis lived in Forrest’s Pandavas went to Forrest Rama lived there too The same thing is being worshipped in Japan under the name Shinrin-Yoku It stands for Forrest bathing http://www.shinrin-yoku.org/shinrin-yoku.html

Oh Traveler

Just think – what is your mad rush for? A few tweets? For Facebook people to applaud you ? For a certificate from your supervisor that your a good worker ? For working hard, like a slave for money so you can go on a trip or get a car? How much do you labor, …

Amazon

Yes. The body gets old. When it becomes less useful the soul leaves it. And goes helplessly based on karma. Like a leaf cut from a tree Pray and do good while you can. Social activity is only slightly good. Life was given not for financial or social success. It was there to know yourself …

Yoga and knowledge

It is NOT possible to know the self without yoga. Thus NO KNOWLEDGE is possible without yoga The yoga I refer to is not what you traditionally believe or read. All books and shastra DO NOT describe the yoga I refer to. Yes they have profound impact but the key necessity has been obscured. I …

A poem – hides the truth

Illusion It is not. Reflective awareness A gift of love. Oh human Know ye not? Fallen so far. No more secrets. Debate me not. A clueless child Posing as scholar. Ignorant of love Remaining lost. Heed my word If thy heart is to heal. No desire to teach Mere compassion is my reach.

Navratri

There are 4 navratri. In the Indian calendar of Maha ( Gupta ) , chaitri, Ashadha, and Aaso It is in memory of Durga, Laxmi and Saraswati. They say it is part of Para shakti Everyone has a concept and theory. Yet they are just concept and theories. Truth is different Go formulate your theories …

Ramayana

The stories in Ramayana are very accurate. The battles – are a perfect description of steps in meditation. Under the guidance of a true guru – one can confirm.that they are the steps. However a minimum of 30-40 years are needed with constant guidance from a perfected Guru The story of vali and his slaying? …

Something strong

In yoga sikhaupanishada, they describe 16 adhaars. Then a very profound statement is made. If you don’t even know those adhaars you are NOT a yogi None of books, blogs have written anything about them Sad ! And they call themselves Yogi ! Who am I to believe ? The ancient upanishad or the modern …

TED talks

We make up stories in our mind and then fight with others based on our imagination TED talk suggests the following strategy To better wrangle with the stories in your head, Brown suggests asking yourself three questions: 1.

For those who follow Shankaracharya

There are many paths. Each one at a slightly different level or view. However for those who follow Shankara acharya, you can’t think of the world and wanting its amenities and then say God is the only reality. Thus it is the road only for those who give up everything – money, fame, food Not …

Yoga

If the siddhis of yoga are true, then the ability to move a platform like gyaneshwar is no where to be found. Or like Kabir where the body was converted into flowers Jesus Christ in his previous birth as Elijah merged his body in Air into air Such things are rare. People who know them …

Why can I not find a Guru ?

In my opinion, a true Guru is extremely rare. They have a specific mission They have a message and then let a disciple spread it but they themselves go back into hiding In Vishnutirthji maharaj lineage it is Parmanandtirthji maharaja ( who is still alive) and in Yogananda it is Babaji. But I am not …

Retreats

There are many spiritual retreats – worthless. But that’s what they do. Offer luxury a few discussions and lessons. Tell you that your doing very good flatter your ego. And best of all collect a lot of money NONSENSE ! In the ashram of Vishnutirthji and Shivohum tirthji a spiritual retreat is very simple. No …

Gita chapter 10 verse 33

This is one of the least understood verses in Gita God says : aksharaanaamakaarosmi dvandvaha saamasikasya cha | ahamevaakshyaha kaalo dhaataaham vishvatomukham || 33 ||   Among the alphabets I am “A” and among grammatical compounds I am Dvandva. I only am the inexhaustible time. I am the provider facing all directions. Samasik can mean …

Chakra

We think we are pure but

On the pure mind – a reflection of the past lives – ours and family and friends- falls very clearly Do you know your past? The past of your family ? The karmas of others ? We can always make a claim. Or assume our saint knows it but truth is most of the people …

Joy

Have you ever tried to silence your mind ? Learn the joy of not a single thought or emotion? Do you ever try to reach that? What a waste of time if you have never tried it

Why is shakti awakening needed?

Knowledge is experience of self Without that experience there is only an imagination of what the self is like Or of what the atman is like The mind must be pure otherwise there will be only imagination and no experience A pure mind has no imagination. A mind can be made pure only by shakti …

Life struggle

Life is a struggle. Always will be. It is the part of maya. The sooner you understand it, seeks means to escape it faster is the spiritual progress Yet countless lives are wasted trying to find happiness in this life Wake up !!

Love yourself

Easy to say. Very hard to understand. What people generally understand is that – loving their body, their ego, vanity personality and position, money That is wrong and it is the quickest way to hell Yet most people will understand it that way Truth is – loving oneself can only be fully understood when ones …

Janmashtmi

A yogi sees janmashtmi differently. His view point of the birth of Krishna in “jail” is different. Why did he take birth as 8th child? The tithi was 8th. Splitting of jamuna refers to sushumna It was raining heavily. Why ? He most certainly did not make it easy for Vasudev. These things have deep …

Can I swim?

The answer is no. All those who try to swim out of maya or illusion fail. We try to use “our intelligence”. This will fail a 100 % of the time Only with the guidance of a person beyond maya can one swim out What is that guru guidance ? It is NOT just his …
