The whole article was written and the computer crashed! 1) Surrender occurs in three stages. a) Surrender with effort. Here there is surrender with the sense of I ness. As long as there is a …

Ramayana stories – Hanuman battles Ahiravana and Mahiravana (interpretation)
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 …

Fleas / Worries and Fear
Worries and thoughts are like fleas on a dog. They constantly bite the individual, suck the energy (blood) and torment. It is only when the number of fleas or worries become insurmountable do we see it as a problem. After a while the individual becomes comfortable being a worry wart. In fact they believe if …

Introspection and Nidhidhyasana.
Before I forget, I should jot down a few experiences. Gurudev told me about my association with Dinesh uncle. He told me to do a sankalpa for Moksha for both me and Dinesh uncle. This occured a few days ago. I hope this is not in anyway a hint from Gurudev that Dineshuncle is about …

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 …

Meditation – some more pearls
Todays meditation was not as deep as yesterday. However, it was more satisfying. This may come as a surprise but allow me to explain Say you are climbing a 100 steps. If you climb all the way to the top stay there for a few second and come right back versus you climb 85 steps …

Miscellaneous thoughts
In order to stay in meditation for longer durations, one has to learn the technique of turning the heart off. Somewhere, I have described this technique in previous blogs as Yogananda Maharaja explained it to me about 4 years ago. It takes a long time to reach that stage. However, right before this stage is …

Meditations
Last 3 days the meditations have been deeper. No matter how deep you go, you can always go deeper! 2 days ago, my meditation was so deep that all that was left was an awareness of a mass of energy. I suspect that this is the “siddhapitha” one of the places between Agna chakra and …

Kumbh Mela : A place where many great saints gather. One should attend to the Kumbh Mela. In terms of Yoga, Kumbh means or refers to the head and mela is a gathering of the prana (withdrawn from the entire body). When that happens, one can say, we have attended the kumbh mela. Here all …

Today, it took me a little longer to go to the depths of yesterday. After all, yesterday was Ramnavmi. However, every step is a progress. I am getting closer and closer to be able to go to the Sukshma world at will and anytime. This ability opens up the Trikaal drashti. Before I got out …

Todays meditation was at a higher level. It was pure consciousness and in pure consciousness, there is simply awareness without I ness. This is the true witness, which is known as “saakshi bhava” The word has been very poorly understood and grossly misinterpreted by most people, making it a matter of convinience on their part, …

Todays mediation was with ease. One cannot stay at ease in the higher self, as long as the lower forces keep pulling you down. When the lower forces, are cleaned out, sort of purged from you, they can no longer pull you down. You see the lower forces but merely observe it. Interestingly, you realize …

Yesterday, during meditation, I was able to experience my consciousness in the subtle world and this world simultaneously. Generally, our …

Entry for March 28, 2009 It has been a long time since I have written on here. Mostly from laziness and the inappropriate habit of spiritual talks with others. One thing I have learnt, that no matter how often and how frequent and how sincere and earnest God or your own desire is to help …

Meditation – intoxicating
When you go deep in meditation, it becomes intoxicating. Just like there is something intoxicating in alcohol, when you go deep in meditation, you have a similar effect of intoxication. There is something quite physical that reverses when you go to the spiritual plane. Everything changes and you are experiencing the world from inside out

More ideas on meditation
There is a state in meditation when the sounds you hear disappear ! People generally think meditation is concentration or focusing your mind on something. This is one method of yoga but it is a slow process. The mind cannot reach the divine. The soul, which is a ray of the divine can. The soul …

Simple ideas for spiritual progress
To clearly understand one owns fault by itself is spiritual progress. However, this understanding must be precise and clear. Liberation is not possible without a Guru. A disciple cannot understand many of his experiences. Progress is always there (especially true if you have a liberated Guru) but the experience can be best understood and explained …
