While the rest of the world was watching the news channel, drinking or at Times square waiting for the ball to fall, I was lying in bed. Right around midnight, Gurudev started talking and telling me things. I do not remember a lot. However, one of the few things that struck out was something he …

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 …

Nada
A common misconception is the hearing of Nada. The truest of true nada occurs when the prana actually ascends in the sushumna. These nadas have the following characteristics 1) Extremely soft, no longer heard by the physical body 2) Extremely pleasing and one truly just wants to hear it again and again 3) On hearing …

Name of God and other miscellaneous experiences
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 …

Jesus Christ
Today, I was reminded of a few experiences I had about Jesus. They were within the last 15 years. 1) I was new to USA and had no idea or concept about Good Friday. I was deep in meditation and I had a very clear and concise vision of Jesus. Later that day, while driving …

General thoughts – how to talk with God
It is only the soul that can communicate with God directly not the thoughts… Thoughts are disorganized and thoughts have a mental impression or fantasy about how God is or maybe and we take our thoughts to be very accurate. and that is where all religions and sects in Christianity fight They have a certain logical …

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 …

Bhagvada Gita
I have had a series of spectacular experiences some of which I have already forgotten. However, some of the experiences I remember about the Gita are as follows 1) I was very fortunate to have the darshana of Krishna Bhagwana. He started off with many many shlokas all praising his Guru. He praised his Guru …

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 …

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 …

Shaktipat This is a subject for real Gurus. Only a real Guru can fully understand it. However, for the disciple, there are many elementary things for them to know. Otherwise, a disciple seeing differences in the results often starts comparing things falsely. I am writing this based on experiences. It is not based on intellect, …

Entry for February 08, 2006 A doll made out of salt took a dip in the Ocean! Ego is like the salt doll. Once immersed in the ocean of bliss (GOD) it no longer exists. It is that easy. Just immerse yourself in God. You loose yourself in God. That is why Yogananda said, in …

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 …
