The Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan - The future and what can be done about it

Japan has gone through a lot of pain and turmoil. I have always appreciated Japanese for their discipline, commitment and all those values, which make them excellent human beings. No Tsunami can put down this wonderful nation. Many a countries including mine can learn a lesson or two from Japan. Make no mistake about it, the Japanese will rise again and life will mostly be on an even keel within a year’s time. May the Lord bless this brave nation-all our prayers are with them. They are going through this tough time without a whimper.

However, the purpose of writing this Blog is different. Many a times isolated events in one’s life are a part of the jigsaw puzzle and at some point of time when all the pieces are in place, the picture becomes clear.  In my case, I ran in to the first part of the jigsaw in the year 1974.  I have always been interested in the esoteric literature-may be there was a past life connection which made me read the mystique with great interest.  I had gone to a bookstore and was casually browsing through the shelves, where a title named “ Shambhala” caught my eye. The book has been written by Andrew Tomas   and the same had been published by four square publication based in UK. This book is now out of print. I am fortunate to have a copy-my prized possession.

Ay the end of the books, the author was taken to one of the Gompa in the far reaches of Sikkim in Indian Union. There is a subterranean pool over there   where an oracle can be invoked. The author was made to look in to the pool and  could see the beautiful blue earth in the inky black sky – like a classic Nasa photograph. As the Lama intoned mantras, the beautiful shell of the earth was surrounded by black, brown and muddy colour smoke. As the oracle was finished, the author was told that he had been given this experience to warn the human beings that their evil and negative thoughts and actions had polluted the earth’s aura and the same will have retribution. The warning looked serious and ominous.

The life moved on and as the time went by, I forgot all about the subject and may be dismissed it as just another prophesy- there are so many of them these days.

The second part of he jigsaw came my way when I ran in to a book named, “ We-The Arcturians”-written by Dr Norma Milanovich. In this book, the beings in fifth dimension contacted Dr Norma through her ESP capability   and gave very convincing answers to various questions put to them. They state that one of their space ships is located in the inner space between earth and moon and they would like to help the mankind by raising the understanding of humanity about the subtle truths. This book made a lot of impact and set one to think seriously about the subject.

The third part of the jigsaw came my way in the recent past when I was roaming around in Badrinath area. It is holiest of the holy place for Hindus and many an ancient adepts are said to be visiting this area.  I had a chance meeting with a gentlemen in white  who appeared to be   a renunciant but not a sadhu. Sadhus you find, a dime a dozen there but this one was different. He had a quiet dignity about him and his gaze was full of power. There is no point in  describing all nitty girttys of this chance meeting. Amongst many things he talked about yoga , mankind and the human karma. He made a statement which I reproduce as below…

“  I  would advice the one on spiritual path to do the Karma with a sankalpa. It is perfectly possible to be rid of the Karma. One has to learn to pay back the Karmic dues happily to become free of the debts.  Remember that a Sadhak never stops but ever moves on   in the path of Sadhana.  You will come across nothingness and you have to go beyond   this also.  It is your conscious mind, which makes you run here and there. When it happens , just put yourself aloof and start watching the mind from distance and the mind will settle down.

The earth is on the brink of massive destruction.  The Rishis   and the Himalayan Siddhas want the existence of the human species to continue.  As to what where and who will be destroyed is not hidden in the future vale of time- it is in the hand of humanity.  The use of the atomic weapons is not the cause of worry.  The danger lies in the changes in the great depths near core of the earth.  It is much more dangerous than the global warming.  The human level of understanding the esoteric truths will also increase for some.  There will be change in the genes. The Himalayan Siddhas would like to help but the human beings will have to make efforts to save their  only home-the earth.  This is   the minimum that can be expected from the human race.  There will be excessive rains and floods as also massive volcanic   activity along with the earthquakes.  Mahakaal has woken up. The clarion call has been made   and the nature is getting progressively violent. Who knows how much time is left. But those who know, what are they waiting for?  This is the time of “Sadhana”.  There is virtually no time left.

I was stunned for a while and asked this evolved person as to what ordinary persons like me should do to help. He somehow know that I know Pranic Healing and said, “ Practice Twin heart Meditation and bless the earth   and visualize   that   the aura of the earth is becoming bright white or golden yellow and   the grey band of sick energy is dissipating. 

To simplify the matter- you do not have to learn the Twin heart healing technique. The practice above simply means that you can close your eyes and  visualize   the round ball of the earth   and feel that a band of electric violet light sounds the same and that the grey and muddy brown energy is getting cleansed. Anyone can do it, while travelling in a train or whenever there is nothing else to do. One has to make it a habit to stay in this frame of mind- it will help and do a lot of good to you as also to the world.

The jigsaw is complete at my level of understanding and I would take the advice very seriously. In my case I have had the fortune to be guided by the world Master HH Rajrishi Kapil Advait (Pilot Babaji), the Mahayogi from Siddha Bhumi Himalayas.  As one progresses in serious Sadhana, many a questions are resolved.  However, this is not the forum to write about that.

In the meantime, it is  each one for his own Karma. God Bless and all the best

Tale of the Tiger Mother

I read the above caption in the newspaper and it immediately caught my attention. I never thought it could be an article about a human being- a mother. I read through and found that this was the story of a Chinese lady who had brought up her children with an Iron Fist- a fist-stronger than that of a Dictator. Nothing wrong with the Chinese. I know many of them who are so affectionate, kindly and loving. Such a specimen can come from any community or nation.

The more I read through, the more I was astonished at the depravity of human mind. I could not imagine that a mother would prevent her own children from going to the rest room until they mastered a complicated lesson of Piano. How would this lady feel, if she were to be prevented from going to the loo unless she learnt to play Mah-Jong.

Someone has said,” the good lord must be very humorus – for look at what all variety he has produced”. There are the good ones, the bad ones, tall and the short ones, happy and the sorry ones, beautiful and the ugly ones, good and the evil ones……………..all product of their old Sanskars. This particular specimen is certainly collecting a lot of Karma to be paid back in future lives.

Let us look at the problem from a holistic angle. My revered Gurudeva has taught that every human being is a matrix of seven different planes/dimensions-each more subtle than the previous one. One of these is called the Emotional plane. This emotional body of the children is too soft and fragile and once the same is damaged, it can leave emotional scars for a lifetime. These are difficult to heal and only holistic methods can heal these. Not very many people are aware of these methods. In India, a mother is compared to a big banyan tree under whose shade the weary children find protection and the shade. Even in ancient Hindu religion, the mother aspect of the Lord is considered to be superior to other aspects. Will a mother ever harm her child?-never.

In India, there is also a saying that’ “Spare the rod an spoil the child”. This is absolutely true. I see many parents who are so unconcerned when their children spoil public property or misbehave at home and in school and the parents look the other way. This again is a crime and involves Karma. Is it not the responsibility of parents to imbibe good human values in to their offspring and to make sure they become good human beings (and therefore good citizens)? At such moments, the rod must be used decisively with a telling effect. For this, the parents themselves have to know as to what values are important and what are not. At such time the dad or the mom should ‘appear to be a tiger’ but not become a ‘tiger’. A human being cannot be a ‘tiger’ all the time. The human emotions of Love, Compassion and affection go to a dustbin in case a person is a tiger most of the time. A tiger is by nature, a vicious and cruel animal. How can a human being claim to be so, justify this depravity in media and glorify and bask oneself in the evil light of a heinous behaviour. All my sympathies go to the little children who have so suffered and a prayer for this “Tiger Mom” –for the Lord to throw some divine light on her sick psyche. She is fortunate to have loyal children who have stood by her in front of media-probably to save the family honour, which is sacroscent to most cultures.

Amidst the conflicting views given by me above, the solution lies in Bhagwad Gita - where the Lord has advised an aspirant to do one’s duty and take a middle path, while doing the duty.

A mother is full of love, divinity and such higher emotions. It is all that the motherhood aspect is about. I do agree that discipline of mind and body is required to make an intense effort. However, the same is not to be at the cost of damage to human psyche. In my times, in our old fashioned household, there was strict discipline but our parents were very tender hearted and intensely loving in all other aspects. Preventing a child from going to the rest room tantamount to Torture.

Love is a great force and with divine quality of the Love, one can achieve the Lord. Material results can be achieved to a greater extent through ‘Love’

Hence, my advice to all mothers is-

“ Be a tiger when you need to be one. Never become a ‘tiger’ by nature or in heart. Shed the ‘tiger’ when the aim of disciplining the child is achieved and revert to being an affectionate and loving mother- apply the soft balm of love and affection once the correction has been made.

To illustrate this point further, we had a teacher who used to use a rod to give us children corporal punishment for not doing homework. It was the same teacher, who would miss his mid break lunch to guide us through the difficulty and make sure we were at the level of the rest of the class-because he loved each child of his class. These days it will be rare to find a teacher with such sterling quality I still remember him with a fond respect. Many times I pray for him that his soul may rest in Peace in the higher realms.

Times have changed now. We all have to take our Karmic responsibility. Is it not?

What can be the best prayer for the humanity? It is this

“ O Lord! Give us all a discriminative mind so that we may identify right from the wrong and take the correct decision, which will translate in to “Liberating Karma.”

May the blessing of my Sudguru ever be on all

How to go in  the presence of your Mentor

My guide , friend   and philosopher is my Pujya Gurudeva- Rajrishi Kapil Advait , known to the word as ‘Mahayogi Pilot Baba’.  In the earstwhile material life, he has been a very brave fighter Pilot in the Indian Airforce-A twice decoratd war hero-breavest of the brave. In spiritual life also, he has been bravest of the brave. It is not an easy  thing to donate one’s vast estates   and the princely material assets -  to go away in the High Himalayas- penniless  and without any resource whatsoever.  On introspection, I find   that I could not have done it. I am not a coward but I am not the bravest of the brave either. A very very few of us can dare to go in the search of the unknown. How many Sadhus of today dare to leave   the sancturi of the Ashrams  and go in to wilderness of jungles and mountains without bothering  whether  they would live or perish in the search?  Once I am through with my responsibilities - or what I think are my responsibilities, I would not mind giving it a try. The experience will be worth it all the way-something an earth bound material mind will consoider to be foolishness.

He is my mentor. Who is a mentor?  A mentor is the one who modulates  or in whose guidence,one gets modulated in thought , action and behaviour.  This can  happen to you- only if you are a disciple   and not a devotee of your Sudguru. If you read the holistic books published on the web (as  also on Kindal format) by Mahayog Foundation through Nav Nirman Publication trust, the difference between the two would be obvious.  A disciple follows the teachings of his revered Sudguru  and tries to inbibe  the same in his real life. It is not a matter of saying - but a matter of doing. Lip service  and insincerity would not do.  One has to be totally sincere -for the grace to flow in to one’s being.  I am privilaged , honoured   and proud to be the disciple of  the Mahayogi- a world master. 

The intent of this blog is not to propagate my Master’s name for two reasons- firstly, I am not a lackey of my teacher-I am his disciple.  Secondly, he does not need any introduction.  Millions all over the planet have found spiritual progress following his teachings. These fortunate ones do their Sadhana- incognito and hidden from the sight of the world. In my happiness of having found the holy grail-It is entirely human to try and share the same with the fellow human beings.

Sitting at his feet is an honour and a divine experience. Most people come to him with a cluttered mind planning to what  favors can be got from him- divine intersession for  their material needs. There are others who come out of curiocity to see what happens. There is the third kind, who come full of deciet  and intent to cheat.  They would show great reverence  buu their actions will be nothng short of criminality.

Some one has said, “ The good Lord must be having a great sense of humour- for, look at how much variety in humanity he has created in this world. Each indivisual is different fom the other.  These poor lowly creatures have no idea of the damage they do to their Karma-with consequent effects in   the time to come. The three dimensional body ssytem will drop off one day. Is it not?  and after  that- what? 

If one goes to Mahayogi, one should not speak much  but sit quietly and listen to whatever he says- for there is  Himalayan Siddha knowledge in his spoken word. Sit quietly and savor   the flow of energy  and take what you can assimilate- you will progress exponantially.

For those who go for material favors to him- I remember the story of a begger who went to a king for help.  The king was kind   and asked  the man as to what he wanted? The poor man wanted a good meal and some money. It was a pity- for the king would have given the man whatever he would have asked for.

One has to shed the ego  and go to the Sudguru without Ego- a child has no ego about him. A child like approach to your Sudguru is a must , if you wish to have his grace.  I remember a story  I had read somewhwere-God bless whoever told this story-for this has got a lot of sense in it.

 There was a sadhu who did intense Tapasya  for 12 years. One of the Gods was happy  and appeared in front of this sadhu and offered to give a boon to him. The sadhu was full of ego  and  so sure of his Karma.  He told   the Lord, “O Lord.  I do not want anything specific- judge my actions  and give  me the result of the same. The Lord asked him, “ What have you been doing for the past 12 years”.  The sadhu replied,”Lord , you know that I have done meditation  sitting on this rock for 12 years”. The good Lord replied- “ You have desired to have the result of your action-so be it. You have sat on this rock for 12 years   and now this rock will sit on you for the next 12 years.

This story may or may not be true- most likely to be a parable to deliver a message only-but the fact remains that the Ego is the first stumbling block on the way. The Sudguru would  test you in many a ways  to see if you have shed your ego or not   and knowingly put you in many a situations  where your ego will be ruffled  and try to rebel. At such times,  a Sadhak , removes   his Ego by applying the knowledge found  at the feet of a realized master.

What a Divine game- The relationship of a Sudguru with his   disciple. The Sudguru watches over the disciple like a mother would to her favorite child and the child is smug under   the benevalent gaze.

Difference between a Guru and Sudguru

Difference between a  Guru  and  Sudguru 

The relationship of a Disciple with his Guru is a divine one  and nothing like it exists anywhere in the cosmos.  In this relationship, the Guru  unhesitatingly gives his spiritual wealth  to his disciple- a wealth gained by him after intense Tapasya.This wealth helps the disciple in cutting the ever binding circle of life   and death and achieve those aims, for which  one has taken birth.  It   is just like a father who unhesitatingly gives all that he has ,to his son. I am saying this in the Indian context   and tradition in which a father will do so- totally selflessly  and   without any consideration for his own future and needs. This is the holistic and the spiritual way of looking at the things. Of course , these days   the times are different   and there is so much of dross  and selfishness , that these divine qualities are lost to most.

The other  day I was watching Discovery channel. Normally I do not see the TV since, there is nothing much to be gained from doing so. To me it is just a waste of time. The same time needs to be used for doing something more useful and evolving. The clip was showing a small leopord  female   with  three cubs. A lioness saw them   and crept close to them.  The female Leopord did not run but faced the lioness  and even charged to make the lioness run away-even at the risk of getting itself killed. Parenting ,  wheter in humans or in   the animal world is a natural feeling- an exquisite feeling.

A Guru has the same feeling for a disciple  and wishes to give him all  the spiritual bounties provided the disciple is fit   and capable to take the same. But then the Guru has to have the capability of bestowing  the grace   and the disciple has to have   the capacity and purity of mind, heart   and the psyche to be able to assimilate   what the guru wishes to give-for there is a spiritual law governing this give and take. Unless the disciple has removed   the dross,  the Guru’s energy will just not seep in to him. Inner purification is a must along with the commitment  and intense desire to evolve spiritually.

But   then  the meaning of the word ‘Guru’, has to be unbderstood first of all. The word ‘Guru’ is  a Hindi word , composed of two separate words i.e. Gu+Ru, which means ‘Remover of darkness’- or the giver of knowledge. Lack of true knowledge is darkeness. Guru is a  misunderstood  and mostly misquoted term. Most   people think that once they have taken someone to be their ‘Guru’- all the hassles of life will  be miraculously   solved by   the Guru. Nothing can be far from  the truth.  We all have incarnated bound by the law of cause and effect  and have to pay back the Karma which we incurrd in past incarnations.  It is we  who have to pay the same, whether in this life or postpone it to the next one.  It will be unfair   and impractical to expect   the Guru  to take over  the same. It will never work out that way.

Why does one go to a Guru- It is to learn something form him. One  must be sure as to what  one wants  to learn from a Guru.  If I wish to learn about the tunig of my car-  the mechanic is my guru for that purpose. Likewise, if  one wants to learn  driving , the driving instructor is the Guru. When we talk of a spiritual Guru, it means   that we are keen to learn about the spiritual and evolving sciences. There are nth number of Gurus caliming   to have   the requisite knowledge to be a Guru. It is a difficult decision to select a Guru. In  my mind ,  there are four tests  with which one can decide as to who can be one’s Guru.  These are-

a)   The one going to whom  , you experience   and inner peace can be your Guru

b)   The one  who has 24 carat excellent Moral  character

c)    The one who does not desire anything from you

d)    If you sincerely practice what the `guru teaches you-just for three months , some results have to   come  by way of little experiences, inner peace etc  and such indicators   that you are on the right path

If none of this happens, then I am afraid , you will  be wasting yoru time with that indivisual for he can not be your Guru.  The Guru can guide   and mostly opeartae in the world of three dimensions. It means  that such teaching would be good enough for disciple’s presnt life only.

 A  real spiritualist knows that we are livivng in a world of seven dimensions   and beyond. Unless the Subtle anatomy was cleansed, there can be no long term progress  which will enhance the Karmic account in after death stages- leave alone Emancipation. When one is looking  for this kind of knlwledge  and evolution, a Guru operating within the confines of three dimensions will not do any good-  for the subject matter is simply beyond him.  Most preachers , who just tell stories  to the gullible public can lead  you nowhere- here I am talking about serious ‘Spirituality’  and not   the momentry happiness and satiation of the external  mind.

Here you need a ‘Sudguru’. Ther is a big difference between  a Guru  and ‘Sudguru’.  A Sudguru is the one who has the following capabilities-

a)  He can operate across he subtle domains at will and has the capability of resolving   and cleansing the disciple’s  subtle bodies  for his faster evolution

b)  It is a relationship which spans across the river of time- many a life times, until such time   the disciple becomes an energy form- like a glass of water thrown in to the sea becomes   the sea itself

c)  He does not bind his Karma with anyone and has his independence- as also gives his disciple  the total independece. A  Sudguru does not treat the disciple  like a dog on   the leash

d)  His  grace is there for everyone  and each one who comes in contact wih him gets  the kind of energy which he can assimilate at his level

e)   He toils for hmanity selflessly and does not desire anything for himself from you. The only thing that he   desires is your growth  and spiritual welfare.

f)  He is beyond the realm of Maya. He treats the good the bad and   the ugly alike  and gets cheated nth number of time , again  and again – with full awareness of being so- just because he realizes  the latent spirituality in every human being  and knows   that all these deeds are due to ignorance  and someday the seeds of spirituality will frutify – in this or in the next incarnations.

e)  He is a Master who has seen the other side of life called ‘death by repeatedly going in to a state of Samadhi- a thing the wordly ‘Guru’  has no capacity to do.

Hence  be careful , when you go in the presence of a Realized master. If you wish to gain the grace of such a Sudguru-go to him with a clean heart-like a small child  and lay all your shortcomings at his divine feet  and be  totally bare, as  you are. 

I have seen many a foolish people  who go to the Mahayogi, with a black heart  and intent to cheat. One feels , nothing but pity for such human beings. They are so far away from  what bounties  the Sudguru can give   them. Leave alone the Sudguru- even a lowly Master  Pranic healer is able to sense-  the quality of energy.  When you go to the feet of a Sudguru, go truthfully  and with a clean heart  and try to obtain his grace. If you become worthy , the grace will flow. Make no mistakes-one evil thought   and Sudguru can see your aura   and know about you- for he is one with  the cosmos.

It is a rare good fortune to find a Sudguru  and more important -to be accepted by

Him. When you find  the Sudguru, the path becomes crystal clear. If you prove worthy, the Sudguru will never leave you in this life as also after life.  The fear of death-which is only a transformation-will go away.  It is a privilage   and a pleasure

To sit at the feet of Sudguru- no words need to be spoken. It is total bliss.

Fortunate are those who are under the blessed gaze the of a ‘Sudguru’
