Hence, whole universe vibrates in Brahman, he is the basis (Adhara) of this constantly changing universe. Brahman is the sole cause of this cosmic manifestation and that He is also the law guiding the cosmos from within as well as the witness (Sakshibhuta) of all our mental activities. Atman-Brahman / Soul Reality can be perceived as ego-image like in a mirror in human beings; but the perception becomes indistinct in other astral worlds of Manes (Pitru Loka), gins (Gandharva Loka) etc.however, again it becomes distinct as light and shadow, in Astral world of “Ocean of Bliss”, which is called as Brahma Loka in Vedanta jargon; though “Identity” of individuality of Soul still persists to the end of present creation cycle (Yugantha). There is a difference between Sacred Knowledge (Dharmika-Para Vidya) and secular knowledge (Lowkika-apara vidhya). In the former type, “ The Knower of the Knowledge becomes The Knowledge Itself, i.e. whoever knows the Reality-Brahman, becomes The Brahman itself (Brahmavid Brahmaiva Bhavathi’); this happens because, the ‘Thriputi’ knot-psych, ( located at the tri-junctional centre of two-eyebrows and nose-bridge ) that is responsible for splitting and objectifying the consciousness into subject-object-predicate phenominalisation shrinks into ‘Zero’, giving infinite reflective perception of ‘ I ’ in every bosom of the human being, the so-called Universal Self Consciousness. But in worldly, secular knowledge this kind of phenominalisation by ‘Thriputi’ psychic-knot, is lacking, due to inherent basic ‘Ignorance’, Nescience (Avidhya).Wise men do not desire to do anything; and at the same moment do not desire to abandon action either. ’Turya-vastha’ is the mental-silence of consciousness experienced when all thought-disturbances in the mind-psych settles down; “Nari-Nari - Madhya Murari” (नारी नारी म य मरारीु ) as poetically sung by “Jayadeva” the great Indian mystic devotee of Lord Jaganatha of Puri temple. Sometimes the Seeker of Reality experiences something like ‘shadow’ in the heart which gets cleared sometime after the meditation; it denotes the clearing of the grossness shadowing ascendance of conscience to that higher level of spiritual gain. Soul or Atman, is perfect by Himself. He never becomes the agent of any action.

Page 3 of 36

Yet through the illusion of ignorance He conceives himself limited and conditioned by wants. So by the same illusion again he feels himself acting for a certain end, be it for sense pleasure or final emancipation. Hence, from the standpoint of the Absolute Atman Para Brahman, the Reality, both the desires of sense pleasures and emancipation are bondages, although, the latter ultimately relives him of his delusion. Atman is ever free, so any attempt on his part to set himself free is nothing but delusion.

Yet, desire for emancipation is absolutely necessary for the common mortal, who deludes himself with “I and Mine” duality nature of conception like “I am born, I will die, I am so and so, I am rich-poor, happy-un happy” etc.

It is interesting to observe the predicament and shallow, pitiable, nature of the mind-psych of an atheist. An atheist is one who does not believe in the existence of God. It is so disgusting incident of hearing an, oft-repeated proclamations of a ‘One-time’ great cinematic-actor saying “I do not believe in God”, repeating, “In & Out of-context “ occasions, that he attends as paid-guest Celebrity. One has to sympathize and pity for him the “Ignorant of the Ignorant”. God do not lose anything if somebody does not believe Him; it is just like, the water-tank do not lose anything, if some idiot, does not wash his mouth; or like the Sun is not bothered if somebody not basked in its warmth. Let us, calculate mathematically depth of his ignorance. When an atheist proclaims non-existence of God, it amounts to mean that no positive or negative value can be assigned to the concept of God, the mathematical symbol for that assigned statement is ‘Zero’ or ‘naught’. But, unfortunately, he the consistent atheist cannot deny his own personal existence, as doubter so long he is consciously alive. Again speaking in mathematical term, the Doubter of the God may be assigned the value ‘One’. Now, see “Thamasha – the fun “ viz. of this poor-fellow agnostic, can be made to dance, like a puppet to the tune of “Zero” “The God”; as you go on adding the Zero, either to the Left or right of “1” the arrogant rich millionaire actor-atheist.

Live in self as SELF

(Atmaiva Atmaanah Sthitaha = आ मवै आ मानः ि थतः) Life becomes pathetic if one confines himself to the

narrow precincts of body-mind confinements because it, amounts to the blocking of infinite, unlimited, expressed manifestation of eternal Self/ Soul The Consciousness as transient, limited-conscience called ego-self. This intuitive automatic perceptional devolution of the unlimited Atman / Soul consciousness in to the limited space confinements of body-mind as ego-conscience, causes frictions experienced as problems, difficulties, and miseries in day to day transactional life situations. In oriental philosophical sense this kind of limitation of self-conscious expression is known as “Bhava-bandha”. It is really paradoxical and intriguing how The Atman/Soul Reality, comes to live and suffer the limited finite conceptual and empirical life of ego-self?

अमन क य श यु कथं त याद ् य ंमम । अमन वािवका र वे िवदह यािपनोे ममा ॥

Meaning: “How can I, who is pure and beyond mind have those two namely any change and modification of mind; as I am all-pervading and devoid of body-conscience ego? (Ref: Upadesha Sahasri “Thousand teachings” Chap.13-Sl.15;Pub. Ramakrishna Math- Myalapore, Madras-1970-India) This type exasperating enquiry, in self-evolutionary process, is as age-old as human civilization; and Sages and Seers, of ancient India advise the seekers of Reality-(the para Brahman) of “All Times to Come”, in following poignant remarks:

’Kuto Jateyam Iti -Te Rama Astu Vicharana

Imam katham Aham Hanmitesha- Te Astu Vicharana कतोु जातये ंइित ते राम अ त ुिवचारण

इमाम कथं अह ंहि मतषे ते अ त ुिवचारण

Meaning: O Rama, do not enquire into ‘How has this ignorance arisen’, but enquire into ‘How shall I get rid of it’. (Yogavasista)

It is just like a bird caught in the wire-net, only struggles to get out rather, seeking to know the reasons how it got caught in the mesh; and the like one drowning in the water gasps to get out irrespective of any other thought. The manifestation of the omnipotence of infinite consciousness, “as-if” enters into an alliance with Time-Space-Causation, which acts as stable, indispensable support for the manifestation of Reality; Para Brahman. But all these apparent manifestations are in reality non-different from the Infinite Consciousness. That aspect of this infinite consciousness which relates itself to the manifestation of the names and forms, and thus to Time-Space-Causation is known as the

“Knower of the Field”, or “Witness-Consciousness”

(Sakshi-Chaitanya= सा ी-चतनै य्).

Page 6 of 36

The body is the field; ‘That which Knows’ this field inside

out and in all its aspects is the ‘Knower’ of the field or “Witness- Consciousness= सा ीभतू “.This Witness-Consciousness becomes

involved in the latent predispositions and develops the Ego-sense. The ignorant person embraces by delusion the sense-objects thinking as the source of real lasting happiness; forgetting the Bliss of Soul, the Atmananda= आ मान द. So long

the ‘Destiny’ called as prarabdha-karma= पार धकम lasts, the

Realized Seer \ Sage has to live in the awareness of body-mind encasement in waking state of consciousness, which is the only social-cultural relevant-state out of the three dimensions of waking, dream and sleep consciousness of transactional-life manifestation, even though, the Sage potentially is established by knowledge and precept, in his Real-State of Soul consciousness, called The Reality—Para Brahman as Turya (तयाु ). This is achieved by constant rejoinder to himself that his

potential and actual nature is Soul \ Atman Consciousness only. The ego-conscience is merely a transactional shadow-image of Atman cast on Mind, by curtsey in socio-cultural relational-network web. What needed is constant reminding to the self-conscience that his real nature of personality is immortal Soul / Atman which is eternal, never born so, never dies; that which he now, aware of himself, as body - mind combine is in fact a medium for expressing himself, and he is not that medium through which his manifested expression is percolating out. This intuitive inducted reorientation to the new discovered proposition should go on, till it becomes his true nature of mind-psych; this is quoted in the following scriptural direction.

“ Nithyoham, Nirvikalpoham, Nirakaroh amayayam Sit-Chit-Ananda roopoham, Brahmyavaham ,

Na Sansari Muktohamiti Bhavayan” िन योऽह,ं िनिवक पोऽह,ं िनराकारो यय ं -

सतिचतआन द पोऽह ंब वाहै ंन ससारीं म ोहिमितभावयतु े

Page 7 of 36

Meaning: “Contemplate that I am Eternal, Changeless,

Formless; unlost & un-expendable, Existence, Consciousness, & Bliss Form; I am Brahman, the Reality, and not bound to Mundane transactional life; Ever Free of trans-migratory life of Birth & Death” Daily meditation with Pranahuti - divine power, as prescribed in our Ashram, when combined with above stated, scriptural direction of re-inducting oneself, would immensely help in detaching Atman as from its mentally imaged ego-self and re-establishing in its true-Self personality Atman. This phenomenon of “Live in self As SELF” is known as “Sahaja Samadhi’’ = सहजसमािध.

There two ways for you, as the seeker of Reality could achieve the stated, Mystic-Yoga conscious stated viz; one is called as “ Fana - Fil - Shaikh, where disciples who have completely merged their identity with their Masters; and the second is Fana – Fil - Murid, that is In whom their Master get merged. Oh! What is to be described the Great, Divine fortune of the Second, type of disciple in whom The Master favours Himself to get dissolved? Swamiji SPECIAL FEATURE COLUMN

From: Robert Becker Dec 1, 2013 Subject: Notes on Swamiji's discourse at Kookaburra Creek Beloved Swamiji Some brief notes from your visit with help from Di who will be taking initiation this afternoon with gratitude and love Thine own self

Page 8 of 36

Robert Swamiji’s visit to Kookaburra Creek Yoga Centre Saturday 30th November 2013

Students at Kookaburra Creek Yoga Centre were blessed and delighted to have visit from Sri Swami Satyanarayana Chillipa on Saturday morning. Swamiji was accompanied by his son Sri Hari More than a dozen students enjoyed a sublime discourse form Swamiji, which one student described as follows: “I really liked him because he wasn’t what I was expecting. Very simple, humorous and very clever in the way he is able to give simple every day illustrations to understand very difficult concepts. The more I learn, the more I realise how much I don’t know. ”Swami began, by posing the question of why it is that the body goes through the different stages of development, from child to old man, but we always feel the same inside? He answered this by telling us that this was because the true self, or the soul, is the Atman, which never changes. We are born with this true self, in the form of the creator; this can be seen looking out form the eyes of a baby in the form of pure consciousness without any sense of ‘I’. However we soon develop a sense of ‘I’ and thus also ‘my and mine’, through our life experiences and our social conditioning. We can lose this connection with the soul and get caught up in the fantasy and notion of realities that we have created with the mind. God’s play is called ‘Maya’, this is His creation and He creates through us also, through our minds which are a reflection of the Divine. We play out these self created realities each day believing them to be real but they are

Page 9 of 36

‘virtual realities’. He gave us the example that when we sleep we become our true selves; unfortunately we don’t remember this connection with the soul as the mind once again springs into action with thoughts and we begin to live in the self made illusory realities once again. Swami talked extensively about the body just being a vessel to hold the soul and that as the vessel became old, we just change it for a new one. We should not become attached to the body as it is a temporary thing. Only the soul is permanent.

Swami discussed how we need to empty the bucket (mind) in order to fill it. When we develop concentration, we are calm and focused which help develop the mind from drifting into desire and aversion and will ultimately help us develop wisdom. Swamiji mentioned that drug addicts are seeking this obliteration of a certain aspect of the mind but they have to return to the narcotic again and again when this can far better be reached through the practice of meditation, because then it is not lost. Meditation will therefore help us to reach the highest level of enlightenment. Swami gave us a lovely analogy of buried wealth hidden under the floor of a house by previous family members. It was there all the time , not known to the now poor householders who walked across it daily. This can be taken as meaning that we have everything within us to find our own treasure. We don’t have to journey afar. It’s always been there, you just have to firstly know it is there and then ‘dig it up.’

Finally Swami discussed the ultimate state of universal consciousness. Connectedness within the body and also the interconnectedness with every living organism. He gave a simple analogy of a tree being chopped into logs, which in turn are made into planks, which are crafted into chairs, which become old , burnt and are left as ash. All are different objects, you can’t call a plank a tree etc, yet all are connected and derived from the source – the tree - and have the same carbon element as their basis.

Swamiji concluded with a sublime meditation after presenting Robert with a beautiful orange cloth brought with from India. Another of the students commented after the meditation

Page 10 of 36

that she first felt a rush of emotion and then a bright white light that enveloped her completely. Swamiji then graciously handed out prasadam to all the students who remained and took his leave. After Swamiji had taken his leave the students sat in a semi-circle facing where the chair where he had been sitting. All were smiling and glowing and none wanted to take their leave. We talked about the grace of the Guru for some time.

Swamiji’s chair remains where he sat to give his discourse and darshan. His physical presence may not be in the hall but his spiritual current runs strong and is one of the constant, always-present, inspiring ParaShakti’s that inspire the Abhyasi’s at the centre. We offer our thanks and pranaams at the feet of the Master. Thine Own Self Robert From: Swamiji On 30 Nov 2013 Dear Sri Robert Becker, Ashirwad

In fact Swamiji must thank you for arranging spiritual discourse-interaction with possible aspirants of Atman/Self/Soul realisation. If anyone desires the initiation in 'Pranahuti meditation they are welcome during Swamiji's stay here. If the talk was recorded or if you can recall the gist of talk send a note for publication Thanks for contribution to Ashram With Master's Blessings Your Own Self Swamiji From: Robert Becker

Beloved Swamiji, thank you for your kind visit to

Kookaburra Creek today and for sharing of, your wisdom and tapas shakti with some of our students. Robert Becker

LETTERS From: Swamiji Dear Associates in Divine/Divinity For information to infer: Audi Guru Mahatma, Sri Lalaji Maharaji's Guru, Hazrat Qibla- Maulvi Fazal Ahmad Khan Sahab Raipuri (U.P. India) conferred on Lalaji Maharaj, two spiritual attainment status on him viz. *-- ''Fana – Fil - Shaikh'' & **-- '' Fana – Fil - Murid''. *-- In ''Fana – Fil - Shaik'' Spiritual condition, the disciple completely merges their identity in Master. **-- While in Fana Fil Murid which is very rarely seen in spiritual yoga practice, The Master himself get merged in spiritual disciple. Naturally, in the light of above state ''layavastha'' Absorption of the Seeker of the Reality, the Pranahuti, transmission - absorption intensity-depth, coverage, effective-influence, duration and stability-induction, of the preceptors vary. Swamiji From: Robert Becker Dec 18, 2013 Experience with Swamiji in Meditation Tuesday 18th December 2013

Today I had the fortunate opportunity to have the blessings of Darshan of Swamiji in Perth. Each sitting with Swamiji is a different experience and each time it seems to go deeper into the bliss of meditation. To have the privilege of one-to-one contact with an awakened Master is the greatest gift one can hope for in this life. Today as we sat, the thought ripples took some time to subside. There was initially an awareness of subject and object and a feeling of ‘I am meditating here in this room with Swamiji, experiencing the unmistakable transmission of pranahuti.’ The effulgence moved up and down the spinal column, quite visible as it pierced each Chakra in turn. Most remarkable was the experience in Ajna chakra, the light there was exceptionally bright and seemed to expand into the shape of a four pointed star with the longer segments pointing up and

Page 12 of 36

down and the shorter arms out to each side. Gradually it seemed as if this light spread out in all directions. I was aware of the same light that had initially felt to be within myself, now present in all objects around, animate and inanimate, and even in the very space itself. I have heard of the wish fulfilling tree and not understood what it meant. Today all wishes were fulfilled as there seemed to be nothing more to possibly wish for. The sense of all-pervasiveness was unshakable. We sat for about an hour but the time seemed to pass in the briefest and most fleeting of intervals. There was no movement in the body and only limited movement in the mind at the outset of the session. The effulgence was bright and supremely silent. I listened intently for any sound that might be associated with it. There was external sound, a radio, a car passing, but the energy itself made no sound at all. The mind did not react to the external sounds either, they arose and subsided like ripples or waves on the surface of a deep body of water. With the awareness deeply rooted in this ocean of silence, with a kind of shine or shimmer apparent all around, an overwhelming sense of stillness, joy, not an excitement of any kind but more a sense of gratitude, filled my heart. Three things are supremely precious. A human birth, the craving for self knowledge or awakening and the loving grace of an enlightened Master. Without deserving any of these it seemed all three came together for a brief time this morning. I fall at the lotus feet of the Master with love and appreciation for the guidance and transmission that form the basis of this spiritual adventure.

Attended Ashram with chi.K.V.Prasad on Sunday, 15 December 2013.Chi.Ravi Hazeebu from New Jersey, USA has

Page 13 of 36

also joined us. We did meditation for one hour followed by discussion on the chapter "Goal-Reality" from the book "Thus Speaks Shri Ram Chandra". Bapuji Maharaj speaks;

• The Divine is neither saakaar nor niraakar, but beyond both. We have to seek for Him in the inner core of our Heart.

• The last dwelling place of a yogi is Tham-the origin. • Man must always be in quest of Mergence.

Chi.Ravi Hazeebu played the record on Swamiji's clarification

on Sat-Chit –Ananda which is once again manifestation of Divine. The recording was done in New Jersey during Swamiji and Ashram mata's recent visit to USA. Chi.K.V.Prasad attended Ashram and did Meditation previous Sunday 8 December 2013. Hope Swamiji and Ashram Mata are keeping good health. Sow.Kalavathi and our Associates are conveying their pranam(s) to Swamiji and Ashram Mata and Best wishes to Chi.Hari's family. Seeking Guru's Grace to All Your Own Self, V G K Rao From: Swamiji Dear Sister Vasantha.

The note of conversation is correctly reported & will be made for - use to other abhyasis by publishing in our monthly News Bulletin Thank you, Swamiji From: Vasantha Appajodu (USA) Namaskar Swamiji,

Thank you for sending me the Astral Chart. And thank you for your time and support. Here is the summary of the discussion we had recently.

“In Meditation the Abhyasi felt that some sort of pressure (force) in the chest and felt that Force being pulled upwards towards head (Not sure where it ended) and the Abhyasi felt that

Page 14 of 36

"THIS IS WHAT IT IS" followed by getting separated from self (that separated being has no Physical appearance NIRAKARA, it has no roopam. And the abhyasi was able to see her Physical body and the physical body appeared as Dead Body. The Abhyasi was curious to know what does it mean “THIS IS WHAT IT IS" and wanted to hear from Swamiji. Swamiji says, that during our Sadhana, the Pranahuti goes from Sahasrara to Ajna, Vishudha, Anahata, Manipuraka, Swadhishtana and goes to Mooladhara and activates the Kundalini Shakti (Which is the Phenomenal-Astral force).converts Kundalini into "Devine POWER" and takes Devine Power up through Swadhishtna Chakra, Manipuraka Chakra, anahahata Chakras. As we all know that these Chakras are in high oscillating state, when the Devine power travels through these chakras the Devine power gets more and more subtler, In this process when this Devine Power reaches the Ajna Chakra it become more and more subtler (we call this Devine Power as Shivani Shakthi).This Shivani Shakthi goes up and merges with the Shiva Shakthi that is in the Sahasrara. When the Devine Power gets more subtle it creates vibrations which are being felt as ideas ( Bhavanas). I request Swamiji to correct me if I’m mistaken. Regards From: Diane May (Perth, Australia)

Thank you so much. I will study it tonight. You are so kind to me. I am eager to deepen my practice. I will arrange a time to see you next week. Kindest regards Diane From: Sai VGK Rao Pujya Swamiji, Pranam We are glad to know that Satsangh and meditation sessions were well received by the participants of Kukaburra Centre. Thanks to Swamiji for keeping us posted with the on going programmes at Perth. After going through the note and

Page 15 of 36

seeing the photos, we felt we attended Swamiji satsangh. Thanks to Shri Robert Becker for his continuous interest and support to IUSCM activities there. Along with Chi. Prasad, attended Ashram last Sunday 1 Dec. 2013. After meditation, we discussed “The Goal of Life", Second Chapter In "Reality at Dawn" By Shri Ram Chandra (Babuji Maharaj). Babuji Maharaj presented 23 circles around the Centre under 'March to Freedom". Babuji Maharaj states "Their ( Saints and yogis) farthest approach in most cases had been up to the second or the third circle at the most ,and it is unfortunate even at this preliminary stage they sometimes considered their achievements to be great". If it is the case what is the condition of common man and the Associates? Babuji Maharaj indicated that the distance from first circle to Centre "is a very vast expanse". Hence there is a need for a true Guru who can lead us to the Centre. We are very fortunate to come under Umbrella of IUSCM held by Swamiji for reaching the Goal. We had a sitting at the new house of Chi. Prasad's Father-in-law in Chaitanyapuri area of Dilsukhnagar, Hyderabad, on Friday, 29 November 2013. It was arranged on the occasion of his father-in-law and mother -in-law's successful completion of pilgrimage to Kasi.Gaya, Prayaga etc., about 20 Associates attended the sitting. By Guru's Grace it went on well. Hope Swamiji and Ashram Mata are keeping well and our pranams to them. Best wishes to Chi. Hari's family.

• It is the emotive- dimension of Mind-psych that is responsible for expressing the emotions.

• This phase of mind-psych becomes operational when it gets linked or associated with sensory perceptive phenomenon during waking and also dream states of consciousness; following analogy would through light on the conception: for example, a doctor in the hospital treating the patients would not weep when a patient dies. He only concerns himself with aspects of treating in the possible best way of professional judgement. This is intellectual dimension of Mind-psych. Now, it so happened that his brother died in a accident and that dead body was brought home; all in the family including, that patients doctor-brother became suffered great misery of pain and wept the grief of death in the family. Now, you analyse the episode; here, the doctor-brother suffered and grieved the death, because of sentimental identity with emotional mind -phase.

• In the same way other dimensions of mind-psych, viz. intellect (Budhi), remembering-forgetting (Chitta), and Ego (Ahankar) surface in to action- picture, based on situational factor

In regards to the human mind psych, could Swamiji explain which later of mind is associated with emotions and how they surface for experience? With deepest gratitude From: Urbain RASAMISON (TOLIARA, MADAGASCAR) Dear brother Asish,

I am very happy to receive your response on my query for spiritual help. I cannot even describe my present feeling of joy now. Maybe God is finally coming to reply for my request to find the right Guru to guide me towards the spiritual way. Let me resume my understanding of the daily practice to be done, after the 3 days of initiation with you: 1- At 06:00am, or at fixed hour in the morning, meditation at point A. repeat the prayer of the Master once or twice, and try to be absorbed in the meaning of this prayer. Duration 30min approx 2- In the evening after work, for example at 06:00pm, Cleaning time at point B. I Imagine the divine power enters from this point and push out all impressions (sanskaras) from the back, like vapour or smoke. 3- At 09:00pm before sleeping, repeat the prayer once, and let to sleep over the meaning of the prayer. It will help to continue the cleaning process during the night time. I just have the following questions:

a- About the exact position of these 2 points A and B. I read the manual but, when I look at our guru Swamiji photo, these points seem to be located a little right side, and then down side from the left nipple. Is it possible to have a kind of drawing that shows step b step how to get the exact location of these points?

b- I noticed also some other point marked in white spot in our Guru Swamiji photo. I guess it is some kind of chakras for specific use, not mentioned in this basic practical manual.

I thank you again for having replied on my request. Hope to hear from you soon,

All the best. Urbain MEDITATION / SPIRITUAL DIARIES From: Swamiji--Dated, 12-12-2013 Dear Sister Dianamay, Ashirwad Your letter dated-11-12-2013, is timely, and technically significant.

• what you have read from the book ’Play of Consciousness’ is in now, not relevant, just like what you have learnt in kindergarten-school is not concerned to you as at present level of higher intellectual attainments. Technique of meditation is only instrumental in attaining the goal of REALITY, the para Brahman; it should not be confused with Goal.

• Regarding the stopping of the ‘inhalation and exhausalation’ breath cycle, it happens naturally at a particular stage of spiritual progress, and this is called in yoga jargon as “Kevala-Kumbhaka” automatic “Pranayama” .

• Regarding arousing the ‘Kundalini’ it happens, of its own accord, at appropriate time and occasion by the Grace of Master. You need not be concerned as the Seeker of Reality.

• The Prayer that Master, indicates Is Not the Mantra; do not confuse. It is just an intuitive reminder to your True Self; and a devotional surrender to God, bestowing Power on you to keep—study, on the path of Realisation of your True-Real nature of Personality.

• The Words of the Prayer are to be recapitulated once or twice, to keep your conscious attention on the heart-Point (A), during morning meditation. And, ‘Cleaning-process’ at Point (B) in the evening meditation which is concerned with ‘Cleaning- of Sanskaras’.

• Swamiji has sent you ‘The Practical Manual’ of Pranahuti-Meditational process; hope you have received it. Read

Page 19 of 36

carefully, for full comprehensive understanding of the ‘ pranahuti-Meditation’

• If you want higher levels of Spiritual progress leading you to Ultimate Reality, Para Brahman and Merge your small-self-ego, sublimating, and sub-mutating it, to Universal Self- Consciousness — to — Cosmic Consciousness maturing into Godly-Consciousness, Then Stop All previously adopted practices, & exercises. This is the only way. Decision is yours.

• Higher levels of spiritual progress, leading to Realty, the Para-Brahman is beyond the gross-mental conceptions. It ’ Un-Folds-It Self ’ by the Grace of Master, in due-course of time when “It Emerges” to the surface-consciousness.

With Master’s Blessings Your Own Self Swamiji From: Diana May, Dec 11, 2013 Dear Swamiji,

Thank you. That would be greatly appreciated. I will come Monday the 16th at 4 o clock.

I have a few questions, if I may ask. When I meditate, there becomes a space of no inhalation or exhalation, it has become more pronounced. Is this to cultivate or not? I have been reading a book recommended by Mandy (Roberts’s wife). It is called Play of Consciousness by Swami Muktananda. I have done Hatha yoga for many years but have only recently felt Kundalini awakening so I have much knowledge to pursue even though I have gained knowledge within my heart. In chapter 7, it talks about meditation and the guru. The prayer you gave me. Is that a mantra I would use? Swami Muktananda says to ‘remember your mantra and synchronize it with the incoming and out coming breath.’ Do I need a mantra. I felt drawn to come to see after you came to meditate with us at Kookaburra Creek, but don’t really understand what you were doing when we meditated together at your home.

light and love. Did you do this by God’s grace? I am wondering why me? No family and friends feel as I do? I feel I am too ordinary to be graced with this wonderful thing that is happening to me. Thanking you for your generosity of spirit Diane From: Sara Angel, Dec 11, 2013 Dearest Swamiji,

Thankyou so much for your instruction and guidance. I have been meditating everyday as instructed, but not always at the same time. I hope to improve. Although I am experiencing many mixed emotions, I also know that peace exists in my heart. In regards to the Spiritual News Bulletin am not able to access any further information than the Bulletin sheet itself. I cannot click on or access any underlined material, such as the Special Feature Column. However, since our meeting I have been doing my own study on some of the Principles of Yoga including the five koshas, Jīvātmā, Ātmā and Paramātmā. With respect and love, Sara. From: Swamiji, Dated: 11-12-2013 Dear Sister Vasantha. A., Ashirwad Swamiji must compliment, you, for posing confusingly-intelligent question!

• Deep sleep is not an analogy; it is a living experience by one and all. It is a live-phase of consciousness lived as a phase conditioned as Jagrath = जागताव थ (Waking state),

Swapna = व नाव थ (Dream state), and Sushupti =

सश ाव थु ु (Sleeping state).

• It is a state one lives un-consciously in his/her Real Self/Soul/ Atman.

Page 21 of 36

• One feels by re-capitulation by remembrance that he/she had total rest, and peace (Pari Purana Vishranthi and Shanthi = प रपणिवशाि तू ) .

• This experience of total rest and peace is because there is no Mind; mind is in a dormant condition of rest.

• Regarding, the cited experience of state of mind during the work in the office/home, it is a condition of concentration where there is a continuous un broken flow of thoughts connected with the given work-situation.

• Do not confuse the quite different aspects of a phenomenalized conscience.

• Refer to published works of Mahatma Bapuji Maharaj’s for full comprehensive understanding of the Ego’s expression in the stated aspects of consciousness

With Master’s Blessings Your Own Self Swamiji From: Vasantha Appajodu Dec 11, 2013 Namaskar Swamiji, Thank you very much for the clarification. Among the three Avastha's we know, Jagrathavastha, swapnavastha, Sushupthi,

Is Sushupthi is nothing but Deep sleep (Gadha Nidra= गाढ िनद )? Or to make us understand they used Deep sleep as an example? Or it is the state where one can experience the peace, calm and having no SPRUHA that "I'm doing this and that" The reason for asking this Question is, I believe that we being in Jagrathavastha= जागताव थ we feel this State of being in

sushupthi = सशिु ु where all the day to day routines will get done

in the timely manner (Though I'm doing it like working in the office, doing the house hold thing etc.........."I will not have any "SPRUHA” that I'm doing all these. and we continue to be in this state of mind until the "I" ness comes into picture. Until and

Page 22 of 36

unless this "I" ness comes into picture, I will not even know that I'm there in all these tasks”. Can this be considered as being in Sushupthi while being in Jagrathavastha=जागताव थ ?

Loking forward for the December News letter. Regards Vasantha. From: Swamiji 5th , December, 2013 Dear Sister Vasantha Ashirwad

• The seeing, in meditation vision of the body-self as “dead” is really an advanced spiritual ascendance on the way of spiritual realisation.

• Yet, it is not the final arrival stage; because, you as experiencer is very much there. The ''Thriputi'' is still intact, in terms of subject-object-predicate (kartha-Karma-Kriya).

• In Sanskrit language the term / concept Atman also means 'Mind', so you only mean 'Mano Sakshatkara' = मनो सा ा कार ् by describing that experiential phenomenon.

• In ultimate conclusion of the arrival at the destiny there is no-one left, to experience or im-perience 'That'

• It Remains as ''That''--- ''Tat'' only.

• ''Tat Tva mEva, Tva-meva Tat'' '' तत् वमवे -- वमवे तत् ''

• If you want, arrive to ''THAT'', forget that. As, There is a saying ''Forgetting is Divine''.

Editor’s Comment: (Deep Contemplation suggested). • Devotional perseverance, constant remembrance,

surrender to Master helps ultimately, helps to arrive at the goal.

(Ref: Gita-11-8) You are Welcome With Master's Blessings Your Own Self Swamiji From: Vasantha Appajodu, Dec 5, 2013 Namaskar Swamiji, Regarding the experience that I described below can be considered a "Atma Sakshatkaram", I have strong feeling that the experience I hadwas "Atma Sakshatkaram". and I have a feeling that the "The separated being is nothing but "Atman" Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks Vasantha. From: Swamiji, Dec 3, 2013 subject: Re: Spiritual Update Dear Sri Mac Maderski Ashirwad

• The spiritual diary note is though is very brief, yet indicates high finishing-phase of meditational process as the method and tool of Self/ Soul (Atman) Realization.

• Blankness or emptiness in the heart/mind, is due to exhaustion of sanskaras; sanskaras are emptied through two ways, viz. 1- living day to day life experiencing released sanskaras, whether good or bad, from Store-Bank of Destiney (Prarabdha-karma = पार ध कम ) on the

platform of ‘Time-Space-Causation” (Desha-Kaala- kaarana-kaarya = दशे काल कारण काय ) . 2- Scorching the

sanskaras in yoga fire (Yogagni= योगाि न ) making them

reasonably impact-less.

Page 24 of 36

• As meditation reaches the final phase, the duality-effect of sanskaras diminishes and action-reaction phase gradually diminishes remaining ultimately as only actionably, exhausting heat and cold effect, centring to neutrality of mind-psych.

• However, remember that yoga meditation galvanizes the performance of mind (yogah Karmasu kaushalam = योगः कमस ु कौशल)ं and its inherent potentiality; do not mistake

and avoid false conceptions of the meditation as a tool or technique.

• Hope you are aware of Master’s description chart catalog of entire Sahajamarga meditational technique-process; and read for guidance

Wish You All the Best With Master’s Blessings Your Own Self Swamiji From: Mac Madarski Dearest Swamiji Hope all is well and your stay in Pearth is pleasant. Thank you for your reply to my query. Spiritual Dairy Update 15th Nov-pm meditation 7.50-8.35. Observing light to moderate thoughts, mainly relating to day's activities. At times getting attached to them for short moments. Today recalled an experience I had on tht 11th or 12th Nov. I was staying at Swami Sarasvati's place where for no apparent reason felt very strong anxiety or feeling of despair. I couldn't find a reason behind it, short time later I came across a guest in panic. He lost his folder containing his passport and all his documents. It was found soon after. The next day a I was saying goodbye to Swami, she was very affectionate towards me, kissing my cheeks and forehead she

Page 25 of 36

told me to watch the road and that I'm a very precious person- I didn't understand what she meant by it. To day I thought came to observe my progress more closely, maybe that is what Master meant for me to understand? 16th. 11 am meditation 6.20-7.25? Thought s of low to very5 low intensity. Felt vibrations at back of head and slightly uncomfortable pressure on top of head shortly after. Thoughts relating to latest Spiritual new bulletin. At one stage experienced a kind of a tunnel vision with an image forming at the other end, it was unclear or scrambled. Felt little heavy headed and sleepy after meditation. 17th Nov am meditation 8.10-8.55. Consciousness seemed to expand further, experienced colors of pale violet for some time and for a longer time there was a vast field of light gray. Pm meditation 8.25-9.10. Calmness hardly any thoughts, felt light and refreshed afterwards. 22nd Nov. Feeling a change in my perception, there is a clearer understanding of things that were difficult to grasp previously. 24th Nov. Pm meditation 9.30-10.20 mind wondering a little at first than settled down. There was an experience of seeing my body below me in a sitting posture I was observing from from above. With deepest gratitude Thine Own Self Mac From: Swamiji-Dated, 25-11-2013 Dear David musson, Ashirwad

• Non-duality perception is not analogue to reducing ability of judgement of events, sense perception etc. It is a state of equanimity; balancing the judgement

• What is needed is reducing the parochial application or objectification of consciousness to body-mind, and thus, universalising the ego-consciousness. And, not reducing the ability of perception judgement.

• Yes. But, it is linked to Destiney, the “Prarabdha-karma = पार ध-कम “ ; which means, the already released sankaras,

Page 26 of 36

for ‘bhoga = भोग “ during this life on the Time- Space-

Continuum and inevitable; the old unending controversy of Destiny Vs. self-effort(s).

• Surrendering to Master helps in reducing the severity of impact of micro-impressions released for sufferance, and the technique you have already indicated in the question asked, which is correct.

• As you advance in your depth of meditation with devotional surrender, the ( vasanas = वासनास ), gross

tendencies of mind become subtler by divinisation, correspondingly mind-psych becomes, lighter and lighter enjoying more and more the serenity of real peace of Soul that passes all-understanding

• Divine discrimination and judgement will always be there as manifesting saintly-personality of the yogi.

• It is not question of prevention of gross-thoughts or ideas. It is a yogic process of sublimation and sub-mutation of mind-psych into Universal Self conscience.

• The present body cannot be sustained if all sanskaras are erased out of the causal body ( Karana Sareera = कारणशरीर ्); it will disintegrate in perish.

• The present body is sustained to its allotted full-length of time by Prarabdha-karma the destiny, may be through good virtuous, subtler sanskaras or bad inglorious gross thoughts. The Divinity of a Soul/ Self-Realised Saint or Sage is directly relational to the Subtlety and Expansion of consciousness, just like Space which is unattached and free from all contamination. God is Subtlest of subtle ( Sukshmat-Sukshmatara = स मातू ्-स मतरःू ) and, hence free

from all attachments and all contamination, The Purest of Pure.

From: Dave Musson Nov 22 , 2013 Dear Swamiji, Thank you for sharing this.

Does this mean that if we that if we develop our ability to have a non-dual perception i.e. Reduce our judgement of events, sense perceptions etc. then we will limit the amount that is "accepted" by the Intellect (budhi = बिु ) and there for limit the

sustentation of the ego? You spoke the other day of subtleness and dexterity. If we are dexterous in our ability to allow through only the subtlest of information then this will help to keep the mind-mirror pure and clean, is that correct? If we follow the practice of allowing 'all this in the waking state to be masters and masters alone' then will this naturally provide the lack of judgement and non-dual awareness that will eventually prevent gross thoughts from passing through the layers of the mind? Is it necessary to eventually have no sanskaras? Or will they always be present and effort need only be made to ensure they are fine/subtle.

Many thanks again for the meditation and tea the other morning. Will try and come and see you again next week on Monday or Tuesday if you have time available. Your own self Dave

Questions / Answers From: Vasantha Appajodu Dec 12, 2013 subject: A Question about an experience Namaskar Swamiji, Thank you for clarifying my doubt about Sushupthi = सषिु ु

. As you are clarifying my doubts, I'm being a bit curious to know about some of my experiences. In meditation, I happened to see Master several times sometimes his Physical appearance some Times I just feel his presence around. I used to think that that these are all nothing but mind creations. or may be because I've seen him when I was a school going kid. Recently I'm feeling the

Page 28 of 36

presence of those whom I never seen before like Sri LalaJi, Guru Nanak, Ramana Maharshi, Meera Bai, Rama Krishna Paramhamsa, Sarada Devi and some of them are not even belong to this century at all like Viswamitra, Raghavendra Swami, etc..... WHY ? It is just a feeling of their presence for few seconds which comes out of bloom, I wouldn't see any Physical presence at all. May be I’m asking a silly question, but I'm just curious to know how to understand these experiences Regards, Vasantha ( Dear Abyasis this is your question, Try answering it, Answers will appear next month SNB in the same column)

Quotable Quotes (References quoted are duly acknowledged) 1) By Audi Guru Sri Lalaji Maharaj

“Shah Sahab was taken to Kanpur by the first train in the

morning, and was brought before Huzur Maharaj. After exchange of normal salutations etc. Shah Sahab

started crying and genuflected before Huzur Maharaj. Looking at his condition a Charpai (cot) was called for and he was made to lie down on it. In the meantime this humble servant after buying fruits from market reached before Huzur Maharaj. I also spotted Shah Sahab who was crying due to pain. On seeing me shah Sahab again cried and started saying to Huzur Maharaj, - Hazrat! I have seen many disciples who have completely merged their identity with their Masters (Funa-Fil-Shaikh) but such disciples are seen rarely in whom their Masters get Merged (Funa-Fil-Murid). And verily dear Ramchandra is one, who has been so fortunate to receive the grace of Hazrat (You). He deserves to be called ‘Fana-Fil-Murid’. May it be auspicious to him, as well.” And he continued to speak about my revered Master and his kind heartedness. Shah Sahab had not yet finished that my Lord said –” Janab Shah Sahab! Please do not worry. Be comfortable. Here is your spiritual wealth, which is lying safely under my pillow”.

Page 29 of 36

With these words, in a flash he lifted and kept the pillow in his lap and then sat straight in a charming pose. He, then said –” Seek Pardon of the Lord of all and repent. Take vow that never in future you would behave in this manner with any way farer”. Shah Sahab got up and offered Tauba (Repentance). Holding his ears by own hands, he sought pardon. Huzur Maharaj then again addressed him and said -“Shah Sahab, close your eyes and focus your attention within”. And to give him honour, my Lord asked me “give him Tavajjoh” (direct your spiritual radiation towards him). Fill him with your love. I am behind you. After about a half an hour his roaring voice was heard –“stop it now”. Every one opened their eyes. I saw Shah Sahab was even now murmuring before him; he was weeping intensely, but now I could see lustre in his eyes and a glimpse of love and satisfaction on his face. His voice that I heard was – Janab! You have done a miracle. I have not only got what I had lost but I have got many times more and amidst that feeling of love and gratitude for quite some time he kept on stroking my head and kept on blessing me. (Ref: Autobiography of a Sufi — Cosmic Consciousness (Sayujyata), P. 133; B.R. Pub.1950- Corporation-Delhi-110052)

(2) Sri Babuji Maharaj: “The whole of the science of mathematics rests upon the little

base, the zero. Now for this limitless universe we have trace out a zero or base from which all planes of existence have started. Again the centre of a circle, if observed minutely, is in itself another smaller finer circle. As such it must have another still finer centre for it. The same process continues up to infinity. In other words each of the finer or smaller circles serves as centre of a bigger external circle. Reason or imagination fails to trace out an origin or end. Thus, behind this solid material universe there is another finer or more subtle universe which is the cause or the centre of this outer universe. Again for that finer circle there must be another, centre represented by a still finer circle

Page 30 of 36

and so on. Putting it the other way, there may thus be innumerable circles one after the other, round the unimaginable finest point, the centre within, each circle in turn serving as the centre of the next outer circle, till we come to the present solid form of existence. What we have to do now is to trace our steps back from the present gross form of existence to the previous finer and still finer form up to the farthest possible limit of human approach. In our present state of existence we are revolving round and round within the sphere of grossness. Our only hope lies in pushing our way right across towards centre or the root cause crossings the finer regions one after the other. That is the essence of the spiritual science. The root cause of the entire universe from finest to the grossest is the inner most centre, the base or zero. We may call it as God or Brahman.” (Ref: Complete Works of Ram Chandra, Vol.1, Reality at Dawn, P.92-93; Pub. SRCM, Chennai- India) (3) Letter from Saint Kasturiji, Lakhimpur- Dated: 23-3-1956 Revered Sri Babuji, Saadar Pranam.

Hope you would have received my letter. I am now writing about my spiritual condition whatever it is by the grace of the Master. Now the condition is such that I write on every particle. Now I feel that neither I was ever born nor I will ever take birth. Taking bath and food, beauty, and romance and smell and touch, have no concern with me as if they have no existence for me. I take bath but I do not feel touch of water. I do not feel the touch of the air also. The phenomenon of breathing goes on but the air to breathe in out and out never reaches me. God knows better wether I am or not. It seems to me this is the case with everybody and not only with myself. The condition is of such forgetfulness that it has no direction. I remain uninformed about myself and others as well. In my last I had written to you about my blank condition but now I forgotten it as well. Even I never about blankness. It seems to me that the open field has gradually

Page 31 of 36

disappeared and I do not know as to where I have gone. The condition is very soft now and humble. It seems to me that there is expansion on the back portion of the head and the same condition is spread over there, which that of mine, is very light. I see that condition has spread inside it buts door has not been yet opened. The condition is also spreading outside it. What I may write about my condition. I am extracting out the juice from dry structure, (Bones).What I may then about the dry bones. Now the condition is such that neither there is duality nor there is any feeling of “oneness”. Both seem to be the same to me. There is no juice in the dry bones now. Only the remembrance of the Master gives the taste of bliss. Your most humble daughter, kasturi (4) Ashtavakra Gita Hae Yoo Paade Yataa Taavat – Samsaara Vitapaankurah Spruhaa Jeevati Yaavad Vai - Nirvichaarad Shaaspadam

rejection of senses, seed of this world-tree exists. So, take shelter in thoughtlessness”.

(5) Yoga Vasista

“Manastaam Mudhataam Viddhi Yadaa Nasyati Saa Anagha Citta Naa Saabhidhaanam Hi Sattvamudetyalam”

मन तां मढताू ं िविध यदा न यित सा अ गह िच नासिभधानं िह तदा स वमद यलमु े ्

Page 32 of 36

Meaning: “The very nature of the mind is stupidity. Hence when it dies, purity and noble qualities arise.

Explanation: There are two types of ‘death of the mind’. One is where the form of the mind remains and the other is where even the form ceases to be. The former happens when the sage is still alive and the latter happens when he is disembodied. The pure mind is that state of utter purity that prevails in a liberated sage in who the mind is transcended. Such a mind of the liberated sage, is therefore, full of noble qualities. The existence of such natural goodness is due to ‘vishudha- satvatama’ pure nature of “Satva” quality of mind-psych. In case of such a mind, there are neither qualities, nor their absence, neither virtues nor their absence; it is state of non-dualities nature (Dwandatita). Ego, as an agency of life transections attains ‘Zero’ and Self/Atman, comes to front - of action- reaction less state of existential life. They have risen beyond the duality of mind-psych and are established in Supreme-peace of Soul that transcends all understanding. (6) Bhagavata Purana---SB 11.19.18

karmaṇāṁ pariṇāmitvād ā -- viriñcyād amaṅgalam vipaścin naśvaraṁ paśyed-- adṛṣṭam api dṛṣṭa-vat

Word for word: karmaṇām — of material activities; pariṇāmitvāt — because of being subject to transformation; ā — up to; viriñcyāt — the planet of Lord Brahmā; amaṅgalam — inauspicious unhappiness; vipaścit — an intelligent person; naśvaram — as temporary; paśyet — should see; adṛṣṭam — that which he has not yet experienced;

Page 33 of 36

api — indeed; dṛṣṭa-vat — just like that already experienced. Translation:

An intelligent person should see that any material activity is subject to constant transformation and that even on the planet of Lord Brahmā there is thus simply unhappiness. Indeed, a wise man can understand that just as all that he has seen is temporary, similarly, all things within the universe have a beginning and an end. Purport:

The word adṛaṣhṭam indicates the heavenly standard of life available in the higher planets within this universe. Such celestial neighbourhoods are not actually experienced on the earth planet, although they are described in the Vedic literatures. One may argue that promotion to material heaven is recommended in the karma-kāṇḍa portion of the Vedas and that although the happiness available there is not eternal, at least for some time one may enjoy life. Lord Kṛṣṇa here states, however, that even on the planet of Lord Brahmā, which is superior to the heavenly planets, there is no happiness whatsoever. Even in the upper planetary systems there is rivalry, envy, irritation, lamentation and ultimately death itself. (7) Book of Knowledge Divine (IUSCM - P. 56; Pub. Hyderabad-500059)

“The methodological procedures in attaining divine consciousness mainly consist in purifying the mind of its dross tendencies and impulses, Trans mutating into Spirit Consciousness. Once it is accomplished, mind loses its dross vibratory thought momentum, becomes simple, and subtle, tapering into Divine Silence. As mind by the loss of grossness becomes finer and subtle in motion accordingly it loses thought. Sound at mental plane becoming quiescent. A mind in such a

Page 34 of 36

state of divine silence is really not ordinary mind, that a common man knows- it is divine witness (Sakshi) ---

“Yathu Chenchalata Hinum -- Tan Manoo Amruta Uchyate Tad - Evacha Tapaha--Shastra Sidhante Moksha-Uchatae”

Meaning: “The mind where in all thought disturbances

dissolved, that state is Immortal. That is the result of highest penance. Shastras (Scriptures) proclaim it as Moksha i.e. release from the painful transmigration cycle of repeated birth and death” ( Ref: Mahopanishad,3-101)” (8) Swamiji:

Those who have not attained the Absolute Brahman as

Reality, but yet have realized His aspect with attributes (Sagunopasana = सगणोपासनु ), on death, go by ‘SushumnaNadi

= सश नानािडु ु ’ to the Solar Plane, and thence through several

other planes to the plane of the World of Creator, Brahma Loka = ब लोक , where they reside till the end of the cycle creation

(Yuga-antaram = यगा तरु ं), at the completion of which they merge

in Para Brahman the Ultimate Reality together Brahman, the Creator. This journey of the Soul after death is called “Kramamukti = कममिु ” the gradual emancipation, from Birth and

Death Cycle called “Punar Jenma - Bhava Bandhana”. But, he who has realised the Absolute aspect goes nowhere; for him the whole world-process and creation is negated for ever here still in the body. This is known as “Kaivalyamukti = कैव यमिु or

Jeevanmukti = जीव मिु ”. Atman/ Brahman Reality in the context

of human bodily existence, also called as “Purusha” in some Upanishad scriptures, (for example, Kathopanisad) is in the

Page 35 of 36

nature of Pure Intelligence (Vishudha Satvatma = िवशधस वा मु / ान = Gnana) That remains as the Witness (Sakshibhuta =

सा ीभूत) of all three states of consciousness viz. waking state,

dream state, and deep sleep. Even in deep sleep, when the mind and senses remain dormant, the existence of Pure Intelligence is testified by the memory of a negative consciousness which we carry with us when we come out of that state; we feel, we had a good, sleep, but do not know that you have come to see me, because Atman is Self - Revealing, Self - Knowing – {Swayam Jyoti - Swayam Prakashah= वय यॊित वय पकाश}.

Kathopanisad-5th, and, 6th Chapters - Shashti Valli, Slo. 8-16-).
