During the battle between Rama and Ravana, Ravana’s son Indrajit is killed. At that point, Ravana calls his brother Ahiravana for help. Now, Ahiravana is the king of Patala (the underworld). (There are many variations to the story. All of them can be interpreted spiritually). Ahiravana promised to help. Vibhishana somehow manages to hear about …

Desires and Satisfying the Senses
As I have written in my previous logs, Vishnutirthji Maharaj told me a few months ago, that the Gita for a yogi is Devatma shakti. I compare God talks with Arjuna, written by Paramhansa Yogananda like it is the Vedas and devatma shakti is the Gita or smaller excerpt of it. In Devatma Shakti, Maharaj …

The path of Yoga (union wih God)
When I use the word Yoga, many people have the vision of someone chanting Om om or sitting in various Yogic postures or doing breathing exercise. Those things are a small part of Yoga. The true meaning of Yoga means to be united with God. Choose whatever path that suits your fancy but the fastest …

Todays blog will be brief. A few more points on Sankalpa. An exercise in liberation and getting your sankalpa perfected. Remember : Sankalpa is done without any desire. The higher the person the more immediate the results of Sankalpa. This entire world is the Sankalpa of God. All interactions between people and the eventual results …

Several points
This is mostly a reminder for me to write on the following points 1) Murcha pranayama 2) Location of gunas – explain the difference as described by Yogananda and Gurudev 3) The chakras and the nadis and how the petals of the chakras which are actually rays of light relate with the sahastrar 4) The …

Purity and Love, Aurobindo, techniques to fight faults
My blogs have been written, solely for my children. I do not wish anyone lead them ashtray in the matters of spirituality. All my accounts, if read and understood, should be signs of the true way to God. Until one has experienced all these things, one still has not fully caught on to the strong …

Polarity of Chakras
I have alluded this to a few times in my past blogs. Every chakra except Sahastrar has a negative downward pole, a consciousness that is directed towards the world. This is referred to in the Bhagvad Gita as the “Dakshinayana” or lower six months of the calendar. If a person leaves the body while the chakras …

Pranayama – Breathing Exercises, SRF, Kriya Yoga
Pranayama – prana is the vital force, the force or energy used by Om or the Holy Ghost to run all 3 universes – the gross, subtle and causal. The word ayama means control. The most gross manifestations of the working of prana is breathing. It also includes all other bodily functions. Similarly it has …

Meditation on Chakras
I did not get a chance to write yesterdays blogs. I was orginally planning to write about sex, meditation and yoga. Is it wrong? Is it right? Is it a hindrance? Is it somewhere in between? There are some unwritten secrets about shakti and sex which Gurudev talked about and was also written by Shankaracharya (one …

Third Eye, Ritambara Pragna
Todays meditation was more at the Manipura chakra. It was more clear. Last year, I had written about the experience of being one with the light. This experience, the portal to enter the Brahmanadi, starts near the Manipur chakra. When I entered there, I had the similar experience as I had being in the tunnel. …

General thoughts
Spiritual Books can be writte in 4 ways 1) Pure fantasy or fiction 2) Books which are a compilation of information (I hate to use the word knowledge because true knowledge of God is only when one has experiened him) from a variety of books. Often times authors dont give credit to their source except …

Guru Mandali
Last night, as I “slept” my true consciousness was with Kashinath Dada and a group of divine souls. I dont have a name so for the time being I will call it the Guru Mandali. They are constantly helping, guiding and creating spiritual aspirations in all those who have surrendered to the divine path and …

More clarifications
These clarifications are from Yogananda Maharaj and some from personal experience. There are three worlds. Gross physical world, the subtle world and the causal or karana world. The three forces, a sort of autonomic intelligence, hidden from the human eye are Virata, Hiranyagarbha and Ishwara respectively. To give an eg. the function of Virata is …

Vice and Virtue
Virtue is a problem to liberation just as much vice is. One must rise above both. There is a story in the Bible about Abraham who was given instructions by God to take his son to the top of Mount Sinai and sacrifice his son. Just before he was about to sacrifice his son, God …

Hanuman
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 …
