Part- A
As a reward, my excessive blessings to you for your innocent character, purity, unremitting service day and night on our behalf to uplift others-Ayushman bhav, Chiranjeev bhav
Maharishi Markandey- “This life has been particularly very difficult and full of hardships for you. Presently, you are out of that spate of challenges because there are no test, trial or credential left to prove or achieve specified by Parmeshwara now. You were able to manage the harshest circumstances because you wished to listen to the voice of your Soul and live your life by God’s will. Your trust in Parmeshwar was impossible to take away and you have sailed even in the darkest days. This happens when a Soul has entrusted God wholly in many lives for facing all circumstances, life problems and hard times, even life-threatening situations.
A yogi like you has proved to the world by her perfect humility and behaviour that indeed we are mere reflections, a part of the Infinite, a bubble in the ocean and The Lord is the proprietor and holder of this whole Universe. Many other people are following your footsteps slowly due to this innate conviction. You are able to see the infinite powers of God and His Presence through the constant guidance of the Rishis like me, and your experiences of life which exhibit to you over and over again that God intervenes every day in our life if we do not have an ego. If we allow God to intervene, blessings can be showered on us in countless ways for myriad problems, uncertainties and unexpected crises which fall on us most unexpectedly.
I have been following you in your every incarnation in order to be ready for a day like this when you can prepare a write up of this calibre and content. Nobody has been allowed so far to write about us, our lives or penance. Our lives have been purposely shrouded in mystery so that nobody can vibrate negative or inharmonious thoughts at us or try to snatch our divine energies for materialistic gains with occult or Mystic Sciences and their dark energies. Many wicked, unscrupulous people do that to satisfy the hunger for their vices and desires which they have harboured over many life incarnations more so for land, house, surplus wealth and material progress.
However, God has given you the permission now in this ‘vishesh kaliyug’ so that numerous people wake up from their deep sleep of spiritual ignorance and delusion of many, many, lifetimes. You are carrying that Lamp of Light through your wisdom rich articles and have kindled a flame in many people by now. They must be encouraged to continue this Path of Light which the ancient most Rishis followed and practiced since eternity. In three years, the number of your followers and of this Path will multiply to double or triple because it is God’s wish that such pure words of wisdom, unadulterated counsel and most unknown, hidden lives of extremely primitive and ancient Enlightened Sages reach more homes and people to awaken their slumbering conscience.”

I asked him in amazement, “Why did you call me here? Did I do something so special that I deserve to be here with you in your blessed aura?”
He quickly replied, “Indeed you are very special and pivotal in this age and time as there is none other than you who has a physical body and can meet us in our territory. We all are without the title of the world, physical boundaries and surnames. We are pure Light, Love and Knowledge. You are the same and will always remain so. You are in touch with God directly and with us all the time. We need you to accomplish the hardest tasks as we cannot do that role now. We wish to remain far from human habitation and insanity; nonetheless the world needs you more than ever before. It has gone through the darkest and extreme impure state of existence but is opportunely now turning towards restoration and revival)
Me- “Pujyavar Guruvar, my silent heart has been thanking you day and night for the last many days, more so this morning. Today is 26th Sept’22, the 1st day of Navratri. I have received a huge blessing from you. You have written Durga Saptshati in one of your lives. In this way, I have also received a special blessing from Ma Durga on this very auspicious day. I, very humbly receive your very kind gestures and wish to only request that bless me so that I am able to work relentlessly for you and all the Rishis till the last day of my life as gratitude. Now, may there be no more hurdles in my work and may I soon write many books about all the Rishis of Bharat and spread their unknown biography, life stories, sacrifices and penance far and wide as Light and awakening everywhere.
(From the same post-
https://spiritinlife.blog/2018/11/08/my-tryst-with-maharishi-markandey-ii/
“I wrote Durga Sapt Shati (holy scripture) in praise of Devi Durga in my life as Markandey. God asked me to write and I wrote every word uttered first by God effectively. You are doing the same with my blessing. The time gap between God’s uttering of words and you comprehending them has become nil because of your intense tapasya in helping people progress in their spiritual growth. You have done unbearable and hardest assignments to make sure the time does not lapse and all our projects are duly complete. You made sure the people know and treat time as the most important thing in this world. You sacrificed your own comfort and rest as well as many nights’ sleep but are overjoyed to see your children’s excessive growth and improvement. You are blessed equally and exponentially by all the Sages and their community as well as benevolent God. You will always remain youthful, vibrant and joyful. You will attain more knowledge about concealed spiritual matters as you were extremely unselfish and undemanding when the hardest assignments of uplifting others were given to you. I bless you with good health, joyful Spirit and unending vigour and strength to write on our behalf till your last day of habitation on Earth”)
Me- “Guruvar, on the contrary, I do not want to hear about myself. I want to know about you and your penance since you are such an ancient Soul of this Earth. Like Vishwamitra Maharishi, you have accumulated so much ‘tapas’ that we shall need God and your blessing as disciples and readers to even fathom or understand how many hardships you have incurred to do penance of body, mind and Spirit. Due to ‘tapasya’, there is still abundant ‘dharma’ in Bharat, the land and torch bearer of Hindu Sanatana Dharma, the Dharma of love, compassion and peace in the world. Had it not been for the ancient Rishis, this Earth would have collapsed in the last centuries due to cruelty, selfishness, deception, systematically subverting ‘Sanatana Dharma’ by other religions, mismanagement of the world, resources and Nature in particular by its dominant inhabitants.
Maharishi Markandey- “It is your infinite and extra ordinary ‘punya’, good deeds that has made you eligible to document our lives and penance since we lived so much before in antiquity that today’s people of different faiths will not be able to recognize, realize or accept these untold rare facts and the truth about us. Nonetheless, the Truth is always victorious, but mostly in the end. Truth has its own power to hide itself, manifest itself or present to the world and its people in the manner and time it deems fit to the deemed and deserving people only when God wills. Its power can be matched with none. People do not have the Soul’s power, also called intuitive power to distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad, permissible and non-permissible rules and spiritual laws of God, darkness and light and peace and agitation. They prefer immediate worldly gains and wish to live only by instant gratification and momentary happiness.
There are two types of happiness and satisfaction- temporary and permanent. The wise choose the later always. All soul soothing and lasting happiness originate from within the Soul, the Atma, it is permanent. Atma is a part of Parmatma, Parmeshwar. Param sukh is in Atma. However, it gets covered by ‘agyaan’ or ‘avidya’. Suffering of people and of the world originates from ‘avidya’, ignorance causes multiple sins and sins give sorrows. Due to mental and physical lethargy, majority of people like to live in their dark minds and homes mindlessly for centuries. Yet, if yogasadhana under a competent Master is pursued for many lives, the ignorance slowly disintegrates and ‘gyan’ vairagya, *titiksha, prayashchit, tapasya, maun, shanti are achieved thereby germinating the tender shoots of sunken saatvik shakti and dharma in the yogi.
You have done the same and are reaping unprecedented empowerment given by Parmatma to retrieve our glorious past and presenting a candid dialogue between you and me in the most simplistic manner. Your mind is abundantly filled with wisdom and renouncement and you wish to speak only about us since you get satisfaction and peace in doing this work. No other work gives you this type of satisfaction because you know the hardships we have faced in our lives as Rishis.
You will be remembered by all of humanity one day to have undertaken this impossible daunting task for the welfare of the people for whom you have so much pity, concern and care.
Desires vs frugality; revival vs destruction
Tell the world that this Earth was made with utmost love by Parmatma, it should never be destroyed.
(From the same post-
“Ever since the Earth was made for the first time,” the Maharishi told me on one blessed day, “God never wanted it to be putrefied and decomposed.”)
Maharishi Markandey-“This Earth undergoes constant changes due to our thoughts and deeds thereby causing geographical changes and transformations. Renewal of eternal values as prescribed in Sanatana Dharma is the wish of God today, we must permit Him to intervene so that we all receive His blessings. Revival of lost human values and spiritual principles must be undertaken currently at a frightening pace so that re-construction of this world can be done in a few thousand years. Construction and destruction of our Earth is cyclic, after destruction is construction. The plans of a new order are hidden in destruction. Adaptation must take place quickly.
Presently, the world is undergoing cataclysmic changes. If we wish to plan for future, we must first look back in the past and history. Consequently, we can plan the world in a systematic manner. In the last 1,600 years particularly, there have been major discoveries and industrial revolution in the West due to which excess raw materials and natural resources have been consumed of other countries by the Western countries. Nature is depleting very fast. The world has become mechanized and bipolar. A section of the world has become excessively wealthy and prosperous while some have lost the race. It is due to their exploitation of those people in all aspects of life in the past for many centuries, there is inequality in the world.
Prior to this, Bharat was an agrarian society. It was rich, self-sustained and self-reliant. There were villages which were self-sustaining and the profession whatever it be, was passed on from father to son. Therefore, the bond between the family was strong and life peaceful and satisfying.
Due to globalization however, in the last three decades or so, the world has shrunk and people are always on the move. Families have split and scattered all over the countries and have become small. Mental diseases of many types, depression, loneliness and insecurity are wide spread. The quality of life miserable and difficult due to severe competition amongst countries. The rate at which Nature is being denuded and exploited, the Earth is in a critical state because of this reason. The pandemic Covid in 2019 and next few years is an alarm and death call of the fragile Nature.
Instead of furthering the plan of prosperity and competition, the Earth must be made green and more space must be allotted for growing forests, forest reserve and protecting the animal and plants species. Instead of using up land for infra structure and construction blindly in the world, the land must be recycled and forests made for future generations on an urgent basis.
Trees give oxygen, without oxygen this Earth cannot sustain any living being. The ratio of man versus plants is critically low at this stage. The government policies must have strict code of laws for regeneration of plant and animal world.
Judiciary must be revised in Bharat and all citizens must be made aware on protecting their environment universally and made to reduce their consumption and needs and share the resources compassionately. Legal procedures take time, nonetheless, Nature cannot be ignored beyond this limit or else all countries will face deep crises of economic, socio, environmental and conflict of racial issues and consequently fierce lingering wars in future.
Someday, strict bills in Parliament on protecting the environment of the world must be made mandatory in the whole world globally in each country as the environment and world is one.”
Invocation to all the people of the world for sanctifying the Earth
Me- “Pujyavar Guruvar, how can we address this problem spiritually since I am a yogi and cannot take corrective measures politically?
Maharishi Markandey- “I received Mahamritunjaya mantra thousands of years ago. I received it with the wish of God to revive people from the death of ignorance, death and physical ailments. Today the Earth is dying a slow death due to world wide spread ignorance and stubbornness because of their chronic worldly desires and ego. If Mahamritunjaya mantra paath or japa is done by a large number of people with the objective of sanctifying this Earth of its bad vibrations and ill will, the Earth will slowly revive itself due to its magical healing powers. Mean, aggressive, selfish, greedy, narrow-minded thoughts give extremely negative results in this world since they all manifest someday as a live society and family, country or destiny.
(From https://spiritinlife.blog/2018/11/14/my-tryst-with-maharishi-markandey-iii/
Maharishi Markandey- “I am the author of Mahamritunjaya mantra, Markandey Purana and Shiva Purana. I wrote them when I became Markandey. People do not know this. Shiva Purana was later summarized, chronicled and documented by Sage Veda Vyas approximately 5,679 years ago in Kashi.
I have reincarnated many times as anonymous and unknown man but was extremely wise and observant. I was always looking out for someone who could implement and execute my mental powers in him after my demise. Many Rishis were my prodigious sons several times and I, their brilliant father. In this way, I have transferred my mental legacy and shared with them so that the wisdom spreads and is saved in a few places in the Universe as a ‘Safe.’ It is for the first time that a woman has become a recipient of my mental wealth to this large extent. You are my ‘External Drive’, a store house of modern day where I can store my wealth safely and transfer it in the world for their welfare’s sake!)
Mental chanting of this mantra will give best results and should be repeated by all people who come in your contact through these write ups. People who are placed in bureaucracy and administrative services in governments, must pay heed to environmental issues urgently or else their economic planning shall fail and countries and governments overthrown by people due to poverty, neglect and dissatisfaction or fail due to natural calamities nonetheless. Otherwise, sometimes a combination of all these factors may obliterate very ancient civilization like Bharat, its ancient spiritual knowledge, Sciences, Maths, Astrology, Astronomy, cultures, skills, crafts, history etc. Besides a small, very small community of very advanced brains in Bharat who have still retained the ancient most techniques of very advanced spiritual knowledge of realizing Atma in their inner most memory as ‘sanskara’, smriti and ‘sanskriti’. And you are one of those blessed Souls.”
Part- B
Secure your manuscripts intactly for posterity.
Other reasons for ancient spiritual texts and manuscripts getting lost with time
These 3 words ‘sanskara’, smriti and ‘sanskriti’ reverberated in my mind for a few hours on 28th Sept’22 when all of a sudden, I recalled the words of Markandey Maharishi spoken out of so much concern and apprehension about conserving, preserving our lost heritage, even our memory, smriti and sanskriti.
On 3rd Sept’22 early morning at 5.30 am, he had voiced his opinion as given below during my meditation.
Memory changed, removed and erased by the invaders
Maharishi Markandey- “The Christians and Muslims have used force, coercion in the form of genocide, even fear to erase the memory of masses, public. Memory of our most ancient Hindu Sanatana Dharma, that is of – Yoga, Pranayam, Maun, Dhyana, Shanti. They created so much unrest and agitation, ashanti that slowly the deep sunken memory of our practices done in the far past had got rubbed off. This was their agenda, a mission. In place of that, they applied their religion or methods of living so that we would look up to them for our needs and guidance. Our lives would be in their hands.
Whether they were of past or are in present, the invaders – their own smriti is written off because of agyan and replaced with lust, desires, ego. Therefore, they spread the same everywhere and want the whole world to follow them or else they will use violence because they have long forgotten their divine nature which they originally had.
Definition of smaran shakti, memory
Maharishi Markandey- “Smaran shakti, memory is made with smaran or recalling repeatedly.
Me- “Why Hindu Sanatana Dharma survived even after extensive genocide by Christians and Islamic invaders and colonizers, please enlighten me Swamiji?”
Maharishi Markandey- “One reason why Sanatana Dharma survived is because we were rooted in ancient spiritual practices. Europeans indulged in comforts, lust, excess sexual activities, hunting, gaming and excess eating. Hindus practiced ‘Pratyahar’ and ‘Vairagya’ which gave them control over their senses, mind and desires.
Jyoti Marg is the oldest spiritual practice; it is the path of humanity. All Bhartiyas, Hindus have their memory rooted in Vedas because that is what we were practicing. Revival of the memory of Parmatma’s presence in us is the objective of all spiritual and yogic practices finally; other benefits just come along.
Me- “What must be done to maintain this memory?
Maharishi Markandey- “Continue having the same type of routine. Do not stop your regular saatvik diet. Take sufficient sleep and maintain periodic silence. Recall the lessons that I give you or you get from other Rishis from time to time.
Importance of Maun
We must have silence regularly because the memory of our oldest spiritual practices will be revived and maintained due to peace of mind.
Me- “What were some more reasons of our ancient, valuable manuscripts being destroyed in the past apart from vandalizing, burning, destroying by the invaders?
Maharishi Markandey- “You will be surprised to know that we have hardly 6% of all the great scriptures that we had written in ancient times over more than 6,000 years or so. Nevertheless, the shortcomings were ours also. The reasons were many.
- The Guruji or Holy Master did not get a worthy disciple who could preserve the sacred documents and carry forward the rich heritage and legacy of his Master.
- Sometimes the Rishis were conservative. They only wanted their son to carry forward their legacy and spiritual wealth of manuscripts. They could not part away with their hard-earned labour with other worthy disciples who were not from their immediate families.
- In some rare cases, the Master died at a young age not fully prepared for upcoming untimely death.
- Lastly, the Rishi and his family in exceptional cases, did not take enough precautions and care by giving the manuscripts their due place in their daily lives. The family did not anticipate and prepare systems well in time to safeguard the wellness and wellbeing of the manuscripts. Thereby the manuscripts fell into wrong hands and never reached the earnest people.
Part- C
You are a member of our fraternity, our constellation of thinkers, philosophers, Sages and Light workers.
Why are you so special for me and most sought after today?
“Since the last 65 lives which you have taken, with firm resolute you were in search of rich text books full of spiritual wisdom and doctrines written by highly acclaimed authors and reliable writers. Unfortunately, women were not given formal education in schools or Gurukul in Bharat years ago. The irresistible desire even today to read, write and consume a huge data of spiritual knowledge has not dwindled; on the contrary, it has inflamed and become insatiable. Your unquenchable desire to know and learn everyday has become the source of ever renewable energies transforming each day of yours into a very purposeful and productive day. There is no day without you performing extra ordinary, far-reaching deeds which in due course of time, give us very well defined and well sculpted creative, philanthropic and purposeful results. Due to this, the world and people are benefitting and God’s predetermined plans are quietly developing well with time. These plans were made some lakh years ago, they were made as per the predisposed emerging new era in forthcoming future for which there were all understandable reasons to worry about. The deep concerns by Parmatma and the Rishis were about the acutely degraded environment, people’s violent mentality and low or rather steepest collective wisdom of humankind ever during this modern era.
However, you are an exception to all this. You were born with exceptional wisdom, thinking and working abilities and capacity respectively. Your mind was insatiable from the start, even when you were surrounded by very deeply ingrained ignorance of all the people that you have lived with. Though their ignorance tried to beseech you, you never gave permission to the dark waves of their outpourings. Your determination was unbreakable, even now it is. Your quiet but steely resolution of preserving your spiritual wealth which you know protects you night and day cannot be lost at any cost. This firm affirmation and resolution are erupting from the deepest layers of your very acute wisdom.
You have renounced wealth of the material world internally to safeguard your penance and acute wisdom. Your commitment towards preserving your hard-earned wisdom is unheard of. Your wisdom will never be replicated or achieved by anyone because your stature of vairagya and vivek, renouncement and wisdom cannot be found in anyone. You have surpassed all Rishis in this aspect because Parmatma has bestowed you with never before wisdom and realizations. The reason for this special endowment is because of this. You agreed to live and serve selflessly in today’s world full of saturated ignorance, greed, violence, selfishness and unpredictability and deprived of love, peace and compassion.
Adi Shankaracharya blessed you three months back which you have recorded in your write up.
https://spiritinlife.blog/2022/06/21/wisdom-must-be-gained-to-eradicate-ignorance-ii/
“When Divine Wisdom is intuited and channelled so well and systematically achieved in the deepest possible layer of a God loving seeker and devotee like you, there is in future never a possibility of your hard-earned wisdom to ever once get mutated or corrupted during a situation when the unholy, dark forces invade the clean atmosphere with their ugly and destructive collective minds in the society as you just witnessed a few days ago.”
The industry, hard toil and task of retrieving, reviving and documentation of lost wisdom, spiritual realizations of the Rishis of yore and God’s wish to regenerate and revive this world is the forte of a very, very accomplished human being under such appalling conditions. It is impossible to find a person to fulfil this post and designation because the mind, body and Soul of such a human being must be exceptional, multi-faceted and super developed. The demands on such a human being are countless and people’s opposition unbelievable and incredible. Within the masses of society are hidden a large section of selfish and very greedy people who are opposing the spreading of morality, virtuousness, compassion, sovereignty, unity and equality. Such people continuously hamper your growth and obstruct your positive mental energy in your endeavours to carry on the assigned tasks of revival, regeneration and documentation for the happiness and welfare of all people.
You are exceptionally empowered nonetheless. The source of your empowerment is due to vairagya, vivek, maun, shanti, dheeraj and vinamrata- detachment, wisdom, inner silence, peace, patience and humility. These are the virtues which are protecting you and empowering as well side by side. People do not know about the powers of penance of a renunciant because of their ignorance. They mistakenly think that material wealth is everything and people must be judged on that. Wealth earned in this ever-changing world is so deceptive and temporary; in addition, if the human being is laden with vices, the result is only suffering and their afterlives only painful and degrading.
Your thirst for spiritual wealth is the cause of your detachment and you are unconcerned of how rich and highly placed people are in the society. You know very well in your ever-tranquil mind that in due course of time in the long run, it is the virtuous deeds and God’s grace which will come handy, rescue and save us from all the worldly suffering, difficulties, sickness and untimely death!
Your unbroken silence, peace and trust in us give you the power to deal with the ugliest characters roaming shamelessly and hampering your daily work of writing, documentation and spreading the teachings of Jyoti Marg. However, you never lose sight of us and are living each day and moment with the wish of God. You have the enduring patience to wait until the air, which gets clogged due to dense ignorance of worldly people around you to dissipate, and as soon it happens, your impeccable concentration assists you immediately to resume writing, meditation and contemplation on the pending work. There is nobody who can switch from one end of worldly activities to another end of highest meta physical realms so fast and effortlessly like you. This is due to your manobal and yoga bal– power of mind and power of God union.
https://spiritinlife.blog/2018/11/08/my-tryst-with-maharishi-markandey-ii/
Him- “Yes, it is so true. We hold the Earth and the other planets in the Universe safely together and we do this because it has been made with God’s so much love and sincere intention. Our ‘Yoga bal’, the power of God union and ‘tapa bal’, the power achieved after doing penance of mind with meditation and thought power is being used by God for all sorts of people. For bad people, our bal or spiritual powers are deterrents and they are stopped from doing many horrific crimes and sins. For pious and virtuous people, we send very sublime spiritual energies and mental thoughts and plant them silently in their minds which they can implement and profit themselves and the world at large to raise the consciousness of the world consequently.
