Dear friends, it is Down Time. The last post issued was on 3rd June ’14 . Since then no posts have been published because there are already many serious posts published earlier and they need to be revised in depth. There are many new blog followers; some prepared some not so prepared. Many are at the very basic level while others are about to take off on a flight of their own. So it is a very good idea to sit back and see what this blog has to offer to all of us.
The posts on topics such as Consciousness or Chetna Shakti has commenced recently on FB. Excerpts from important articles are going to be picked up for some time and those posts will be read again in this way. Absorption and churning of those articles is very important.
A delightful beginning has taken place recently where the serious people are visiting many holy sites on their own to clear off much of their karmic baggage after reading my spiritual journey when I made trips to those holy places. Pondicherry, Parangipettai, Palani, Dakshineshwar, Dwarka, Somnath, Kumarpukar, Jairambati, Dwarahat, Varanasi and Ganeshpuri are those places mainly. There are also some who have gone to other places also. I feel extremely happy to see your enthusiasm and the will to overcome your past and renewed energies seems to have seeped in the blog as well the blog followers. Some say that they were inspired by me and my determination and hence they are motivated. I am very grateful to God and the readers for it. May I ask God that more people understand the value of walking on the foot prints of so many highly advanced spiritual giants who have put their holy feet for centuries on those highly charged places of spiritual value in India? May those people too have the inner urge to rectify their past and seek those precious vibrations of great spiritual value!
A silent revolution is taking place although there are no prescribed norms and regulations from my side and yet on their own some people are walking quietly on the sands of the footprints of lofty Yogis and Mahayogis and saints and sages of India’s past heritage. I have only the enlightened Gurus and God to thank because such acts are performed by very few people that we know of. Most of the people are too busy as they very engrossed in their daily life. It requires resolute and firm determination to walk the path of your convictions. Nonetheless, too much is always too little on this long path of eternal bliss and peace of God. So take one firm step at one time and seek God every day in every breath.
Wish to end up this small page of some information with this poem which I wrote on FB some time back.
Lasting friendship!
Deep within lives my mate, my dearest friend,
My guide, my most favourite and most beloved,
When I forget the world and severe ties with it and lose myself,
I find you waiting there for me silently and patiently,
Thus I come back to you, your abode within me.
I find you there in the most blissful state,
Your love that oozes and flows into my heart,
Your love so refreshing, so serene, so endearing,
That nothing in the world compares with it anywhere,
If only somebody could possibly dive there to know what I so genuinely speak!
Your presence so firm, your existence so eternal,
Whenever I come in your contact, the lacklustre outer world is dissolved,
A world that has no power to capture my imagination anymore,
For what you give me is so incomparable and so strongly desirable,
A sense of complete being, a sense of timelessness and eternity and flawless enduring continuity!
Please do keep coming back to me amidst the mundane and amidst the regular,
Please be with me when the most important task is in my hands,
Please seek me when I am doing my daily duties,
Please hover around me when there is a looming danger,
Please watch me and sleep with me at night, where with you there is no fear!
My mind’s focus is never blurred; my eyes never tire to wait until you arrive again,
With you immortality seems natural, bliss my nature and peacefulness my natural state,
My Soul appears to be eternal and I seem to belong to the pure Immortal world,
The ebb and flow of the constantly changing world is unnatural,
As behind all this magical game, it is You who will outlast the whole thing!
I have found a friend in you who shall never separate from me,
I love your unconditional, permanent and appealing friendship,
I have grieved; I have faced indefinite calamities and tragedies,
I have endured so many challenging circumstances in many bodies and incarnations,
And have found you at last my most revered, most pious and my most treasured beloved Friend!!

In 2004, when I was going to Badrinath shrine I remember in the bus, I was very seriously involved in having a conversation with Shri Mahavatar Babaji mentally. I was sitting near the window and was quietly envisioning a picture. While descending and ascending on the steep mountain curves I was thinking as if he was with me and speaking to me about many important things. I was in great search of him you see. I was serious and steady in my pursuit of meeting him personally so that he could teach me face to face as is the normal method of learning between the Master and the disciple; that is what I understood at least in the beginning.
I had read a few books around this time which had little information about him and I very naively set out to Badrinath shrine expecting him to find him easily and assuredly. I was introduced to scarce information about him nonetheless, I saw that there was a great pull between us- I was extremely attracted to him. Although I knew very little about him, still I was crazy about receiving spiritual enlightenment from him directly. I trusted him blindly and wished that he should accept me as his disciple when I meet him there. This was one of my purposes of seeing him personally in Badrinath. I had till then not even met somebody who was clamouring for him like me and hence had no opportunity to share my alike feelings with them. I was a lone voyager in every respect . My hidden feelings had sometimes suffocated me.
He was anyway speaking to me by this time throughout guiding me to go to inner chambers where the soul rests and responds, a condition to which we are never introduced and acquainted with by our previous Gurus. Shri Mahavatar Babaji was obviously different. I was already under his tutelage learning through a new, highly evolved method of learning but was unaware about the developments. In fact, I did not even know that I was by this time being equipped to learn in the most developed and advanced method of learning- through telepathy.
He said somberly, “Some of the saints or authors who write so scholarly about spiritual matters in books themselves do not understand what they have written. They write only superficially. I myself have made some of them write by infusing and lodging great ideas and thoughts in their minds. If you want today, I can do the same thing to you. You can write books on spirituality but you will not understand it today. Or else if you can wait, then I can give you many defining experiences and after that if you write books, you will understand everything. After those experiences if you explain to others, it will be born out of your own experiences and would not be spoken lightly.”
I thought about it and responded instantly after splitting his ideas or boons into two parts, “I am not too sure if I am inclined to write books. It will merely boost my ego and will be a cause to show off to the world, it is pointless I think. However, if you can give me some good spiritual experiences for which I am desperately craving, it should be fine because that is what I am looking for. My books if I write supposedly, in time to come will be replaced by some other person’s; this world is constantly changing so the ego cannot be satisfied for too long. All worldly pursuits and happiness is anyway short-lived and hence I am more interested in taking liberating knowledge from you irrespective of anything. And if you still say that I must write books, I am totally clueless. What can I write, I am a fledgling. In any case, I would like to first get all experiences, then write with my experiences and only after understanding everything fully.” He accepted my point of view.
I began blogging from May 2008 and there has been no discontinuation. Ever since then, after getting enough spiritual and physical world experiences, everything that has been written has been out of my own understanding and beliefs. My posts have been delivered only after I have had some mystifying experience and not merely from a scholar’s point of view.
It is because I had a great desire to be enlightened now and here and that desire prepared me for anything and everything. And my desire was too strong to be ignored.
From then till now, all my sadhana and learning has been based on this incentive and inducement. Since the time of this milestone, almost every year I have been called to the Himalayas to meet him, but he does not meet me. When I go home, I am given harder lessons in the hope that I must be ready for him to meet in future, maybe next year, then pushed to next year. It has been more than ten years since this peculiar thing has been happening. The height was when we almost died in a treacherous trek in Satopanth area when we were made to believe that I will be able to see him. But contrarily we were told that we were sent there to either wear off some of our karmas or on my part, I was tested to the maximum. And we returned home with those experiences without meeting him.Whatever it is, I still believe in him, in Shri Mahavatar Babaji and his divine words because he would not be punishing me or harassing me. Rather, he is making me what he thinks I can be in spiritual stature. Had it not been for him, I would not have undergone so many adventures, misadventures, beautiful experiences, extraordinary perceptions and great meditations and so on. I still believe in him and have my trust placed in him wholly. All my tapasya has been revolved around him since the time I found him.
Part B
Exhausting drive upwards
In the past two years because of excessive work and all kinds of spiritual activities undertaken by me voluntarily, my body showed signs of excessive fatigue and I was also in constant pain. After my daughter’s marriage in November 2013, I was pondering and had decided to slow down consciously. My mind was showing signs of tenderness and helplessness because of affected health. I was about to lose interest in meeting new great and defying challenges. I was wondering if I should go further and extrapolate. Haven’t I done enough by now already, I asked myself several times? I think I did enough to be proud of myself because if I looked back, I realized I did extrapolate after all and I could now let things just be. I wanted to stop applying my mind force to make mountains move now……..!
It was this point that Babaji was waiting for and wished to intervene with full force and interest. He did exactly that. He again began to call me to the Himalayas and put life force in me with this idea. I told him that it has been many years since I have been wanting to have his darshan and by now my body has begun to deteriorate and I would like to have him inside rather than outside at this stage. I also reminded him that I am now ten years plus and am aging so I should not expect that kind of vitality from my body while he is ageless and immortal. Because of my immobility, there was weight gain and more problems seem to be coming my way and therefore I should slow down.
Between the months December 2013 and February 2014, I was advised to take certain foods and medicines and I began to improve. I was sent to yoga classes and the joints became suppler and I could bend and have better body movements. In February end, I was communicated that I should not stop travelling and should go to Varanasi in March and then to Binsar in May. I was still skeptical and doubtful of things to come. So I took one thing at a time. I made it to Varanasi and was waiting for May to come and then take my call.
Then one day during these times with so much compassion he intervened and spoke to me, “My child, I am sorry for you. I knowingly made you do so many things which went against your well-being. You have done and undergone intense spiritual rigors. You put your body to great pressure and strain. You have done forty years tapasya in ten years and hence your body has begun to crack up. But don’t worry, I will tell you means to restore yourself back to good health. Don’t be disappointed with yourself or your reduced health. Under my supervision you have done this hard tapasya, so it is now me who will guide you to wholesome heath again.”
He further said, “You must not stop traveling. You must gain additional experiences to elevate yourself further. You should change your life style a little bit and take great care in taking enough sleep and food supplements. In due course of time, you will be again become very fit and healthy.”
I trusted him because I could see a pattern, a specific pattern that he has implemented to groom, teach and enlighten me. He was following that with all earnestness. So I thought that even if one more time he repeats the same exercise of deluding me and making me believe that it is time for me to see him personally and then decline me, it will be worth it. I have nothing to lose anyway and God is seeing that I am always sincere in my invocations and endeavour. What if he does meet me? How can I lose that opportunity? And what are his exact future plans?
Before I went to the mountains again, I was told by a group of saints including Agastya Maharishi on 16th May afternoon in my powerful meditation in Delhi that this time Shri Mahavatar Babaji has called me to Almora district for sure to have his darshan. My excitement and faith revived suddenly. But sometimes I felt otherwise. I told them that I am skeptical because this could be one of his invented ways to drive me crazy again and I am very low in my will power by now because of lukewarm health and many denials that have come with each trip. I even told them that it is by now very predictable, the whole game is predictable. Moreover, moving with so many luggage, some mine and some for him in the mountains is awesome. So why not avoid a story whose ending I already know?
Very interestingly my own mother who is no more, came to me at least three times sometime in the day in beginning and middle of May to say that Babaji will surely meet me one day. Now this was very assuring and believable because she was not in their league or confederation at all to conspire or delude me like them!
So I began my new journey again. And this time I was not given a driver. I and my daughter with a brand new assignment borrowed a car and drove towards Himalayas on a twelve hour journey, at 5.15 am on 18th May 2014. We took turns in driving. I was very shaky in mind and body and questioned if I could drive so much with my erratic and capricious knees. Finally, with full faith and surrender to my Holy Guru Shri Mahavatar Babaji I set out in the open sea of unknown to swim again!
The journey was very smooth and the knees behaved as if they have connived with the confederation of the saints and I could drive effortlessly. We reached safely and the place and weather was just right for us. After reaching there, I had no plans or clues about what next after this point. I was purposely not told. So I was at dead end again. But I went there with this mind that the unknown shall be explored and whatever they have willed, which will be unfolded at a time of their consent will be in abidance with full faith by me. With this agreement, we began our next day on 19th May.
I was called at two appointed places one by one on two different days saying that they were the meeting venues. First was crowded Bageshwar on 20th May, where there was a Shiva temple called Baghnath, 25 kms from Binsar. And another one was world heritage Shiva temple called Baidyanath, further 25 kms in the pine trees laden, lonely mountains from Bageshwar. I was now driving very confidently in the high and curvy mountains casually like the taxi drivers were doing there with no fear at all or pain in the leg joints. However, nobody came and I was again disappointed!
Second place of alleged or purported meeting was the gate of a secluded wildlife sanctuary in Binsar. We drove there on 21st May evening and except for the mountains, the birds and the pine trees, we were met with nobody. So as a first reaction as my submission I told God, whatever had to be done by me has been carried out and I am having no complaints. Maybe I am not ready for it yet. May be I do not have uncountable good deeds until now. Therefore, your wish is my wish and I will now go back home knowing well that whatever my Master does has to be in collusion with God and God had chalked out this plan for me with a perfect design. Whether Babaji meets me in physical form or not, in Spirit he is and will be with me. If he feels that I should be meted out this treatment, I am happy with it because the lessons that he is yet to impart me after calling me so far have not come yet. They are far more important than my eyes seeing him in physical body. Pondering this I became more peaceful and quieter than previous very anxious days.
My retreat was so very peaceful and quiet and I enjoyed every moment in nature. And Shri Mahavatar Babaji spoke to me in the my meditation at 4.15 in the morning of 21st May 2014, the day before I was about to leave.
“I am what I am today because of my Ichcha Shakti. I became immortal because of my great will power to do unprecedented penance. I have risen to never before spiritual heights only because of my will power. This power is inherent in all of us.
You too have extraordinary will power but you were about to become weak in recent months. So I planned and designed this trip to break that incoming weakness. Treat this trip as a pilgrimage. I sent you to Bageshwar and Baidyanath for your daughter’s rising and as these temples are very ancient, I wished that you both should derive blessings from those ancient places. Bageshwar’s Shiva temple has the boon of eroding very hard, past stubborn tendencies while Baidyanath can grant boons to restore chronic ill health. It is a different matter that people don’t know about it. You shall improve your health from now onward and will also be able to work more as you have done in the past. Unbalance in health was weakening your will power.
You have covered unimaginable spiritual tracks so far only because you had a great will power. I have used that Ichcha Shakti to make you do maximum tapasya. What the saints have said is not a myth. You will meet me for sure but please wait for some more time. If you discontinue and give up your power to will, how can you meet me? I am making it more and more stronger.
I will meet you as many times as I have called you and not met you. I will compensate for all the hardships and declines that I have purposely meted out to you. I will meet you in Badrinath and other places also in time to come. I will call you and after you meet me, you should document those meetings. In the end, there will be two books on Atma and Brahma which I will make you write in Badrinath after some years which will bring you in spot light for right reasons.
I have precisely carried out those exercises which will enhance your Ichcha Shakti more and more. I wanted to make sure that your power of will does not fickle out and therefore gave you very challenging things to do. I am about to give you some more hard duties to perform in future soon so that your mind becomes more stronger and you can always bounce back to God Consciousness and perform your spiritual duties because of your strong power of will.
There is a lot of writing waiting to be done at home continuously. There are going to be about 33 articles in this segment remaining. Get prepared to travel abroad in future and elsewhere and work laboriously till a ripe age. For many years you will travel extensively. God will restore everything that has been denied to you with unfair means.”
Dear friends, some more things were told all of which cannot be told in public. I am yet to really recall all those wonderful things that were imparted to me in May days. Since I have returned home, I have been assigned new absolutely divergent duties which have kept me thoroughly preoccupied. I am practicing earnestly to apply my will power to return with force to my divine consciousness immediately as they finish. The balancing act is on. All this is my tapasya and it really gets harder as you go up……but nonetheless should be pursued!
Part C
Morning meditation
In my meditation on 1.6.14, my insights given by God-
At the very deepest level of your soul, there is resonance. The vibration, if at all anyone can hear, there is a sound vibration of the name Babaji. Babaji, Babaji, Babaji…… it resonates. It is purely very thin, very faint; extremely numb sound vibration of the sound of the name Babaji.
This is only possible when at the deepest level of the mind, there is no desire of any worldly things or possibilities of craving for material items, none. Even the fear of life and death is over. You have been thinking of being in presence with Babaji so much that your deepest imagery has him etched inside and you have taken his name so many times silently in your musings since the time you started that it has erased all names, sounds or images or descriptions. Your desire to have his darshan, being in his holy company and serving him has brought you this high state of mind. It has wiped out all delusion or aberrations called Maya. There is no deviation or misunderstanding of any sort.
Conclusion-To develop the power of will or Ichcha Shakti, we will be given more challenges, obstacles, snags, troubles, hardships, encounters and stumbling blocks by God. The more our desire to stay one with God and our holiest Guru, the more hard we will have to try to overcome those problems and stumbling blocks to revert to them. So grow and develop the will power with every day and after overcoming them, aspire higher.
It is only our will power that will be backing us up in our higher and still higher Spiritual progress.
Morning meditation of 2.6.14
Om sound is the only sound in this Universe that does not require any conduit or channel to travel. Sound, electrical and other waves need a medium. Our spinal chord is a channel and is hollow and like a pipe. Om transfers, moves inside it in the empty hole and it travels on its own. It travels without any channel or nerves in ether inside the spinal chord and in other parts of the body.

My dear everybody, the last post on one’s resolute will power titled ‘Ichcha Shakti, our power to will-I was extemporaneous in nature and straight from the heart and so is this. Before I leave for my next important travel programme, I am convinced that I must pick up from the last post and continue further because it is essential. Some responses came from Facebook also where I had only posted Part A from it. Part B could be little foggy for many people and so it was left out. I am replying to one question from Facebook on Spiritinlife blog because the public would not like to dive so deep into the details of Spirit matters. Moreover, I wished to share this information with my other blog readers also so that it satisfies their queries in addition to the person who has asked me. The question was this-
Didi, even Rama & Krishna are called Avatars. Why is Babaji called Mahavatar by Sri Yoganandaji?
To start answering to this question, I am first quoting from an older post with just one specific paragraph-
Babaji again went back to tell me more about himself. He divulged about his tapas and intense spiritual practices done. “After the initiation of the highest level of Kriya, my body became unconquerable and invincible. My senses became extremely acute and I could no longer bear to hear the sound of clatter and any noisy words. Therefore, I decided to meditate in a place where there would be no disturbing sounds and I headed for the Himalayas on foot. I found a cave in a place where there was no human soul and I meditated in freezing climate without any cloth over me to test my abilities. Once assured, I offered all my accomplishments to God and asked him to now let me exit the world at the age of just fourteen! God’s answer was, “Give me this body; I shall use it for a purpose that no one has done before. I shall accomplish with it that no one has accomplished before.” I only bowed in front of that Divine Light and uttered, “It is yours.”
Now the question that why has Shri Babaji given the title Mahavatar by Paramhansa Yoganandji?
The answer is that Shri Mahavatar Babaji attained phenomenal spiritual success at a very tender age of just fourteen and he gave all his tapas to God and has been serving God without any break for eighteen plus centuries. He has made himself immortal. He will not relinquish his mortal body unless this era of Kaliyug slides in Satya Yuga. His tapasya is unparalleled, it is unprecedented and hence he earned the exclusive title Mahavatar. There may be a few more comparisons but this is the main reason for his being conferred a unique title.
Part B
About a week back, in my day when I contemplated and meditated, I received some important information from Shri Mahavatar Babaji via mental telepathy. Although I am quite reluctant in talking about myself so often, I have nonetheless no choice in being discreet and quiet any longer. I am asked by them to share many of my special experiences and milestones with everybody on the blog and I am only obeying them. I think with conviction that Babaji must be having some reason to be doing this so often. I always comply because since I believe that disobedience towards my enlightened Guru is being disrespectful.
In my morning spontaneous meditation one day lately, I was sliding deeper and further in the depths of calmness. The sound of Om came, resonated and it disappeared. I had greeted it with a very humble heart. And then, there was no sound whatsoever inside my mind. I sat in this quiet state for quite a many peaceful moments. In this quietening process, the mind became empty of all mental sounds coming even from others that echo in the background; they are always floating and embedded around us in our aura as others are thinking of us and speaking in their minds. So many people try to reach us all the time in the physical or mental worlds. Such mental waves affect our ultimate peace. But now, all possible subtle and very subtle mental sounds and thought waves from all over were missing and a state of nothing arrived. Nothing.
After a long time I was at last able to catch hold of this phenomenal thoughtless phenomenon. I was watching it without any involvement like a non-participant. In Hindi or Sanskrit or in a yogic language it is referred to as ‘nirav shanti’, soundless peace of mind. I was in a state of existence where the sense of body and mind first loosened and eventually broke off. In this very moment of thoughtlessness, I was in a state of absolute non- entity, a state of pure being. I was in a state of absolute rest and quietude called ‘poorna vishram’, complete rest. It is a state of absolute purity and innocence. I was in a state of uncovered Truth, untainted Reality called Brahma…..
Later, after a few seconds a new vision emerged from within. The Earth was in front of me with plenty of green foliage and lot of peace. It was completely green from top and all over. There was only one inhabitant on the Earth and that was me. I was relishing the serenading peace and very cool air coming from thick foliage.I had no urge of having some people around me because it was very peaceful in that state of being. I rejoiced being alone. After that I envisioned that I was sitting on top of the globe smiling in serenity to myself and meditating on Earth top in the Lotus posture! My feet were receiving tremendous energies and they were rejuvenating me. I was on top of the world!! My body had no weight and I was feeling totally weightless. Living peacefully in our Atma is a very beautiful state of our being and living there I was experiencing it subtly!
And the symbolic vision of me in a yogic state of peaceful repose on Mother Earth must now wait to materialize in due course of time. So many times symbolic visions and futuristic events that take place in the phenomenal world are first seen in our deep states of mental rest and meditation. This was same.
As the Earth moved out of my vision, I saw Shri Mahavatar Babaji coming near me with his both hands moving fast in the air in a hurry and his face containing a sense of great importance and significance for something. I am yet to fully understand the meaning of his expressions. He came up to to me and told this,” You have a great desire in you to know Atmà. You have known it only because you possessed a great will, you have tremendous Ichcha Shakti. It is a very difficult thing to do in one life. I want you to write about this experience in your forthcoming article on the blog.”
So with this narration, I wind up this post and wish to first attempt re-living these extra ordinary, very sublime and peaceful experiences. In moments of deep peace and quietude, Atma is known. There will be many noises and disturbances from many sides, they come from the Earth level but I must live some times at least on the level of Sky, in the consciousness of Atma……

Mahavatar Babaji is one such outstanding holy incarnation. He is meditating and living with a group of a few trusted and very advanced yogis in the secret caves of Himalayas living for just one purpose- to help mankind and the human race as a whole to evolve in Spirit. And also to make this planet more peaceful, worth living and to avoid any conflict between two or more nations. He is a living example for the world to see the full potential and possibilities of human development in Spirit. He is a Maha Purush because he has crossed all the limitations of maya or prakritiand has achieved immortality. He answers to so many people’s doubts, questions and curiosities without their even being aware of it. He helps innumerable aspirants on their journey of self-realization and shows them their future path in direct and oblique ways.
How do the yogis achieve the highest levels of Consciousness?
Each man possesses a mental body of his own. It is the energy of the kind of thoughts that dwell and are nurtured in the mind. His intellectual property, his process of thinking and the kind of thoughts nurtured are all included in the mental body. Each thought that we send out, each thought that we receive and the cumulative power of it all makes a man what he is and it this thought power to which we are attracted in some people or repelled depending on the quality of thought.
Every thought has its own vibration and wave length. The nearer it is to Super Consciousness, the higher its power. The lower the thought, the denser the wave. The higher the consciousness of the person, the subtler the thought. Our thought waves float in the ether like sound waves. One’s mind is able to catch the wavelength of a similar thought. We should be careful in mixing with people, spiritual aspirants should try to mingle with strong, healthy and positive minds.
There are three types of power that a man possesses in his consciousness.
Ichcha Shaktior the power of one’s desire
Sankalp Shaktior thought power and
Kriya Shaktithe power to do actions.
Ichcha Shakti. It is the power bestowed upon humans to initiate an act. Without this power, the force to initiate and start an action does not come into play. The stronger the desire or ichcha shakti, the more possibility for the actions to manifest.
Part B
Yesterday evening my house was flooded with moonlight in the evening. It was a day prior to Buddha Poornima which falls today on 14th May. I wanted no artificial lights in my room because the silver, soft light was slowly falling on the floors of the rooms and it also had such a cooling impact on my mind and body. I looked at the moon several times in the sky and appreciated its coolness and freshness. Its energy was palpable and then a very resourceful idea came into my mind. I opened all the windows; I decided to meditate in the moonlight. I quickly sat down on the couch where maximum moonlight was falling and the mood and disposition itself was so contemplative and introverted. My mind was naturally very calm in this panoramic time.
Buddha Poornima and Bhagwan Buddha are so synonymous that I immediately traveled mentally to Bodh Gaya and sat under the Bodhi Tree to meditate. The swirling and rustling Peepal tree leaves were casting their magic spell already and I was soaked in every little divine vibrations coming from that spiritual place.
I felt that I was a very lucky soul to have visited Bodh Gaya and more so because correspondingly I could replicate at home what I did and experienced in Bodh Gaya. Besides, I imagined that I am sitting in that holy spot where Bhagwan Buddha must have sat there and meditated so intensely and got spiritual enlightenment. A gush of fresh spiritual energies encircled me and I felt I am really in that place even now under the moonlight. I have relived those sublime experiences a few times more at night and in the wakeful times and when I woke up at night.
However, today on 14th May it was very different The day started with a lot of commotion, apathy by people whom I met and also unexpected unrest from neighbours. I took things as they came and handled them with serenity in spite of serious concern that the external turbulence should not weaken my good hold over inner peace which I had gathered under the moonlight the previous late evening. By afternoon and the onset of evening as the disturbing energies waned and faded. I rested and I realized that instantaneously the mind had touched the base of very deep peace again. I was waiting earnestly for this to happen. When would the flow of contradictory energies wane so that I could take my mind to the innermost levels of peace was my thought throughout. I was successful in patiently switching and co-coordinating the exit of bad energies and immediately going back to the deep ocean of great peace inside after the tranquil vibrations began coming in. It was only after this point that I was able to radiate the most brilliant spiritual energies and then compose a short article which would give us some new insights and messages from the holy, Divine Masters on this auspicious day.
Yesterday in the long meditation that I did in the morning, I had the great blessing and kripa of Shri Kartikeyan Swami again. He had once initiated Shri Mahavatar Babaji in Katargama into higher Kriya Science. So he is my Param, param Guru!
But before that there is something else to say too…..
Only on Sunday evening 11th May, as I took a long walk, I incidentally happened to be very close to Ayyappa temple where Kartikeyan Swami is also worshiped. I was very thrilled to know that he had actually called me to seek his blessings. There were no plans to go to that temple. We reached at the most appropriate time where some drums were being played and the Aarti was being performed.
I paid my humblest, most sincere devotion, reverence and sought his benediction. He immediately conveyed, “After Babaji, from now onward I am your Guru, I will take your lessons, tell everybody that you are my good disciple and your tapasya is bearing very pleasant fruit.” I had just gone there as a mark of respectfulness and gratefulness and I got more than I ever thought I was worthy of. My heart was swaying with joy as I got the inner benediction and also the outside spiritual atmosphere of the temple. I came home feeling very full and enlightened because I saw God’s unseen working behind all this. I only obeyed my inner guidance and got gravitated towards the temple spontaneously where Swami resides. I thanked God so many times!
During my long meditation Swami unfolded my very long spiritual journey as per his own appraisal, “From a low-set, sunken incarnation in the first life to higher and higher incarnation in every life until you have become an accomplished tapasvini, yogini, you have risen in every life. It was not in your destiny to touch such stellar heights in this life too. Your accomplishments are because of your excessively powerful thoughts and resolute of will. Everything has happened because of your power of will. And remember in future also you shall be able to accomplish all your dreams because of your strong Ichcha Shakti, and will power.
(To be continued)
Bodh Gaya where Lord Buddha meditated bestows ichcha shakti or will power to us.
Parangipettai, the place where Shri Mahavatar Babaji was born also has great energies to supplement us with Ichcha Shakti.

My dear friends, it has been a long time since a new post was issued on the blog. There are two specific reasons for it. Firstly, I realized that I have worked a lot on the blog particularly in the last three years to the extent of being soft on my health. Besides, I wanted that people should read the posts over and over again; there are so many. And simultaneously, our one more open school on Face Book has been underway. It is christened Life Beautiful. By now it has taken a proper shape and I find some newcomers ready for bigger things. Some of you are taking the benefits of both platforms; the more the merrier! Along with this, some new blog readers are communicating with me after reading various posts and are seeking advice for personal growth. They are being attended to and looking at the various aspects that have started flourishing associated with Spiritinlife, I feel humbled as well as satisfied. I have shrunk the size of my emails to minimal, nonetheless everybody’s needs are addressed to and I see everyone’s development taking place at a fast speed. I believe this must be the aim of Shri Mahavatar Babaji and his community of godly souls. Some of you are also speeding up their progress purposely and are visiting the holy shrines and dynamic spiritual places on their own to grow faster and seeking blessings.
I see clearly that the spiritual energies of a number of saints are at constant work. They are in collusion and commune with me and are sending and relaying various messages for different aspirants so that their progress should be at a reasonably good pace.
Just recently, that is to say a few hours ago as I woke up from a very restful sleep, it was ordained that I leave all other predefined tasks and immediately sit down to write after I have a short period of strong connection with them in meditation. I am complying and my words are just flowing unbrokenly. Tremendous energy I receive from them to do this wonderful task of writing spiritual essays of various topics only when God pronounces.
Part B
Last month I had gone to Bodh Gaya It was one of the most memorable visits that I have made so far. After I returned home from that place, I saw one day in a sublime state that a thick pillar of white Light is ascending from the sky and falling on the Bodhi Tree. Such transcendent encounters are always inspiring and sought by any practicing yogi. It was as if God was trying to say something to me about crucial and important things after I have already returned home. As the Light of God stopped pouring on the Bodhi Tree, I was informed, “Perennial Light is being inducted by God in this place to keep it effusively energized. It is happening because people who visit this place should be facilitated to remove their ignorance, avidya from inside their minds. Specific places on the Earth are being radiated by God’s Light with a specific purpose and this place is blessed by such a prominent feature.
Bodh Gaya has two specialties in fact, that of clearing our sins and broadening our consciousness depending on the size of our vessel.
Just a few seconds later the beam of Light became weak in strength and I was wondering what happened suddenly. I was enlightened further when I learnt that minds that are scattered, weak, or poor in health, in such cases the beam of light gets scattered in blobs around such vessels because those minds are unable to absorb all of the Light.
In contrast I viewed that when the thick beam of Light was falling on strong and enlightened mind, it was penetrating inside it fully. It was proving by itself that if people’s minds are filled with pride, desires, vasanas, and hence filled up with those dense particles and the rays of Light are not able to enter the brain or mind. If the mind is preoccupied with worldly thoughts, we cannot equip ourselves in retaining those rays of Light because it is already engaged in something else.
Part C
Very rarely can I hope to have a darshan or interaction with a very primitive and extremely reclusive divine soul like Shri Murugan Swami or Kartikeyan Swami. I understand that this must be because Shri Bogarnatharji must have blessed me as I have visited Palani in Dec,2013 in spite of poor physical health condition. Or is it because I am doing Shri Babaji’s seva continuously? Well, I have no fixed answer or any idea what happened. But I guess, a sincere yogi’s life has many twists and turns. I attribute this phase of my yogic life to this aspect and reason. For those readers who do not know uptil now, Kartikeyan Swami is in the lineage of Shri Mahavatar Babaji of siddhas or acclaimed yogis of India. He is Lord Shiva’s second son apart from Lord Ganesha. In down South, he is revered profusely and is called by various names such as Murugan Swami, Shanmuga, Kumar Swami, Kartikeyan and so on.
He has appeared before me a couple of times and has caused ripples of exhilaration, because his frequency is impossible to reach. I am at this moment, as I finish my post thinking that after being able to hear the highest frequencies of Om could have enabled me to commune with him at his state of astral existence? Or has Babaji blessed me with this attribute? Well, if leaving out these reasons, then I cannot explain myself with another justification or explanation. To my satisfaction and belief, I think a combination of all these factors empowered me to have the great opportunity to get to know one more fascinating fact about the secreted world of the advanced yogis and alchemists in their immortal states.
Shri Kartikeyan Swami enlightened me by adding something more to my assemblage of spiritual knowledge. Before his advent, I saw bright Light in my inner view. It was very dense and conformed to the fact that indeed his stature is phenomenal.
“A soul suffers in every life because of its own shortcomings. It is born hundreds of times because of vasanas or desires or ahankar or ego.
A good yogi will remove these two great barriers automatically with his or her own desire.
Those who do not listen to their conscience, take endless re-births and prolong their sufferings, mental and spiritual both and do not even know how to bring an end to their own untold misery.
You have taken the shortest time to evolve and blossom and therefore are in bliss and continuous joy.
Those who are now awaking and have woken up after such endless incarnations are still in agony because their awakening is also painful. They will take much longer time to rise up and flourish in the realm of the Spirit. It is because human beings have poor quality of thoughts. It is our Sankalpa or power of thought which will catapult us to doing extraordinary actions in spite of all hurdles or obstacles in Nature in all lives.
It is because of the power of our thoughts that we shall be able to perform those actions which are conducive in realizing our Self.
If the Self is tainted with ego, desires and selfish interests, then the Spirit cannot unfold.
Blessed are those who are forever serving God and the Illumined Souls in uplifting this world.
Blessed are those who are leading a quiet, pious and blissful, holy life.
Blessed are those who are making this Universe more livable for all other living creatures.
Blessed are those who understand that the highest happiness lies in serving the children of God.
Upasana karo apni Atma ki,
Balidaan, do apne ahankar ki
Kshan, kshan, pal pal nit nayi laharehen
Ishwar ki tumhari ore ayanegi
Yadi mana swachch rakha sada
Sukh bhogoge ati indriyi ananda ka
Ishwar ka ghar sada khula rahega
Jab chaho amrit varsha ko chakh lena
Barasta raheta hai tumhare hi andar
Kewal apne mana ko ati pavitra der hai banane ki……
Translation, though not as poetic as it was in Hindi.
Worship your own Atma
Give sacrifice of your ego
Each and every moment, new waves of
God shall appear near you
If you keep your mind ever clean
You shall gain joy that is beyond senses
The house of God shall be ever open for you
You can drink the flowing nectar
Which cascades always inside you
It is just a matter of making your mind pious and clean……”
In such meditative times, as my mark of gratitude and thanksgiving to all the Illumined Masters who are constantly helping us to alleviate our sufferings and mental misery, I got up to light incense sticks of Ketaki flowers for Shri Kartikeyan Swami in particular. It is with this intent that may we all bloom in Self, our Atma and spread such enticing fragrance as that of Ketaki in the world that we live in!
Guru Brahma, Gurur Vishnu………

Bodh means enlightenment and Gaya is a place in Bihar where Lord Vishnu trampled and killed a demon or asura named Gaya. Therefore the place is still called Gaya.
It was in Gaya under a ficus tree that Lord Buddha had enlightenment and hence the word Bodh Gaya.
At the entrance gate
A view of the canopy of the main temple from outside.
Maha Bodhi Temple
The entrance of the temple in which there is a huge idol of Lord Buddha. Just behind it is the Peepal Tree or Vata Vriksha under which he had Enlightenment.
I have a Peepal leaf in my hand which had fallen down from the Bodhi Tree with the breeze. People from all over the world, mainly South East Asian countries and Sri Lanka come here and Sarnath to make a holy pilgrimage.
People love to get a fallen leaf which is so holy and venerated. They take the leaves home and preserve them. We did the same.
This is the Bodhi Tree which is very, very healthy till this day and widely spread. It is under this Tree that Lord Buddha gained severe spiritual illumination. We spent a lot of time here and did not feel like leaving this serene place. Many people gather here under this tree, say prayers in groups and also do chanting in batches in a group or singly. Most of the people come here to do meditation and sit calmly as much as they can.
It is a very energized place and I felt that if I had more time, I would have come here early in the morning to meditate with minimum people.
The MahaBodhi temple with Buddha’s idol is in our view, we are at the back of it.
Devotee from Philipines on my right and the monks were from Burma. A true moment of universal love and brotherhood, felt one with them. They were very, very happy to come to India, holy India they said. Wanted to remember such lovely moments and hence took this picture to remember and recall that in Spirit we are always One.
Dhamekh Stupa, Sarnath, one of the few pre-Ashokan period Stupa.
Sarnath, the place of first sermon. This is the place where Lord Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths for the first time to his five disciples. It is also known as Mrigadeva or Deer Park
The Four Noble Truths are-
The Truth Of Suffering
The Truth Of Cause of Suffering
The Truth Of Cessation or End of Suffering and
The Truth Of the Path leading to the End of the Suffering.
The Three Gems or Jewels are-The Threefold Refuge or Tisarna
Buddham Sharanam Gachchami
Dharmam Sharanam Gachchami
Sangham Sharnam Gachchami…..
Peace, peace and more peace on this Earth and to all living and non living creatures!!
With this photo gallery, we come to an end to viewing all the three places that I visited last month in March-Varanasi, Sarnath and Bodh Gaya. They will always be remembered, recalled and cherished. Bodh Gaya was exceptionally peaceful. Such divine and serene air and atmosphere, hardly seen before in a public place. If God wills, would love to go back at least once to meditate in quietude in the wee hours.
https://spiritinlife.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Header_1903x300.png00spiritinlifehttps://spiritinlife.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Header_1903x300.pngspiritinlife2014-04-25 20:08:472021-02-28 12:20:13Photo Gallery of pilgrimage to Bodh Gaya and Sarnath.
Gazing at the Sun rising with abated breath is my cherished passion. I have seen the Sunrise many times in Pondicherry but capturing the whole great event with a camera lens was not possible due to some or the other hitch. In the past three years whether I went to Puri or Pondicherry or Kanya Kumari, all eastern parts of India where the Ocean provides us the whole horizon, due to bad weather, taking pictures of the complete ceremony was never possible. Every time there was something missing. If the weather was good, sometimes floating clouds would block the view as it happened in Kanya Kumari and the variety of colours and shades would get camouflaged..
Persistence pays. When I least expected, the best happened by God’s intervention. I could see the best Sunrise in the eastern part of India so far. It was a memorable day. It would not be an exaggeration if I say that Sunrise at Varanasi was the most spectacular Sunrise I ever saw so far in my life! What splendid moments! What a Rising it was!! Waves of warm energy arising and tingling in the body as the Sun erupted suddenly and then ascended so quickly in the sky!
We reached the Dashashwamedh ghat at dot 5.30 am with our cameras and an unbiased mind.
The sky and Ganga water were very calming, lovely pink and lavender every where.
All eyes set on the semi circle, inverted pink halo over the land, so much energy emitted by the yet to show Solar body
After a wait of more than 10 or 15 minutes, we get to see a small dot of the Sun
When we brought our boat back to the ghat after seeing Sunrise from a point, another memorable spectacle…. Moon near an ancient temple. Sun was on east side and the Moon on the western side. Humbly prostrated to the two heavenly bodies made by God and an integral part of our very existence…..
Golden lights from several sources from the ghat falling on shaking and moving waters created magic, a very beautiful sight to see!
When we left the boat, we decided to take a short walk on the sprawling ghat. It was now warm and the sunshine recharged us.
Some interesting scenes when there was a little humour and a bit of laughter too…….
Self Realization is an internal action to perform, externals not needed please!
Varanasi ghats are very, very active more so Dashashwamedha Ghat. Thousands of people doing their own thing uninterested in other person’s preoccupation. Nonetheless, there is something common amongst all. In some way or the other people do remember God, their own Gods in their own peculiar way.
No one knows since when these river banks have been active but for sure the Rig Vedas and other Vedas must have originated from here in search of Truth. Some rishis meditated enough, prayed enough until God reciprocated in the form of hyms.
Throughout all the madness in the sea of people, I was humming these lines on the ghats which I heard in the television series Bharat Ek Khoj some years back-
Srishti se pehle sat nahin thaa, asat bhi nahin Antariksh bhi nahin, aakaash bhee nahin thaa. Chhipaa thaa kyaa, kahaan, kisne dhaka thaa? Us pal to agam, atal jal bhi kahaan thaa……
After we saw whatever we could at the river banks, we set out to other important places.
We went to touch the Lotus feet of Shri Lahiri Mahashayaji. His house is still there but no one lives in it. My another wish finally fulfilled.
Ma Anandmayi’s Ashram in one corner of the city.
Saw this bloom just before we found the ashram after a little bit of search. This is a hospital-Ma Anandamayi hospital.
The inmates were very nice to us. We were even asked to go and visit the second floor of the ashram. Very thankful to the ashramites. The ashram also has a Kanyapeeth or school for young girls who will be inducted as Brahmacharinis in future.
My view from top……
A memorable visit, Grace unfolding at every step. Thank you God.
22.04.14.
My post has finalized around 10.45 pm.But I have decided to publish this post at Sunrise tomorrow. It would be such a wonderful time to read it at that calming and spiritual time!
At Sunset today, I wrote one poem which was posted on Face Book. It does not have a link and hence I decided to paste it on the same post so that all the readers who do not have FB profiles can read it. I am definite that there will be something for each one of us. Agreed, that this photo gallery has become quite big but so has our divine family.
Time to pray!
——————————–
Sunrise and Sunset are favourable times to pray and plead, To the Divine Father and Mother and to our beloved Thee. Catapult your innermost requests and appeals and urges, To that One, holding you with its tender, imperceptible arms and glare.
For that Power and Dynamism shall start embarking
Towards your inner self and your eyes shall open from deep sleep!
Wake up to know that praying is utmost important,
For our belligerent soul and sleepy mind.
Whenever calmness overpowers you, in those times,
Quickly catch hold of that Benevolent Being,
Who is eternally awake and forever free!
Whenever you become a child and He your Guardian,
Remember that you shall always be attended to whatever it is!
Actions we must perform which are benign and beneficial, For deliverance, for redemption and for our penance. Actions performed with God in the centre and I on the fringes, Shall always return with auspiciousness, hope and every goodness. Aspire to transform yourself and pray to become one such God’s child, Who shall always perform just those actions, Which shall arouse everywhere the Presence of that Ever present Being!
Redemption, transformation, deliverance, pardon and pleading, Should be our daily reflections, prayers and devotion. Our inner bright Light has been shrouded much too long, With darkness, dimness, sluggishness and unceasing hibernation. We are too lazy to remove the dark shroud which was worn by us willingly, Are we not too tired wearing that heavy robe which is contagious and murky?
Those blessed souls who live their days and nights and live in God’s radiant love and Light, Call us so many times to return to our real house and Garden of Eden. Prayers are those moments when they await lovingly to hear, At least one little faint murmur or a small voice that invokes the Divine for inspiration and deliverance. If you invoke, if your urge, if you request humbly, To free your bonded soul and sluggish and bereft mind, Guaranteed you shall be heard in the corridors of the Heavenly Father’s House and His Divine family!!
Pray with humility, pray with devotion, pray with greatest faith, pray with heart’s flood gates flung wide open undyingly. Pray with sincere fervour, pray with submission and, Pray with continuous intense calling and pray with simplicity. Pray with invocation, pray with all your attention, Pray for your deliverance, pray for your complete transformation. And pray in heart’s absolute silence till the time when you disappear and arrives His brilliant Presence!!!

During this time I made an elaborate pilgrimage to go to three places in U. P. state thus making it a full triangle. Varanasi, Sarnath and Bodh Gaya. This dream was made possible after many years of deliberation, and it finally happened with the grace of God.
In Varanasi, there was too much to see and less time. Yet we saw the Arti, went to the Shiva temple, saw the famous Sunrise and also saw the house of Shri Lahiri Mahasaya in the thin streets of overcrowded Kashi.
At night, I got an inspiration to go to Ma Anandmayi’s Ashram also. Paid my respects and homage to her. The inmates and sanyassins were very cordial and co-operative and even allowed us to take pictures and showed us all around. Some pictures will be uploaded in next post.
There will be 2 posts on Varanasi, 1 of Sarnath and Bodh Gaya each making it total of 4. The posts are coming in a slow pace because many new children are learning more on FaceBook and are deriving more benefit because the posts of the blog are quite difficult for them. Short posts are serving them a good and effective purpose on the social site.
Your queries and further guidance are also taking place side by side. Hence the photo gallery of the last trip has taken so much time to deliver.
The trip was very much gratifying and I decided to do the photo gallery with all my interest and enthusiasm. I am sure you will like these photos and if you ever make a visit to these places, they will give you ample help and guidance. With these thoughts I wish to take you on a virtual trip to these very ancient sacred sites. Hope you all will enjoy seeing our old heritage, culture and customs passed on from one generation to another since centuries. There was surely some magic and pull in these places, more so in Varanasi and Bodh Gaya.
I quickly posted a few small albums on Face book on these three places once I returned some weeks back in order to stay in touch with you all. These are the links of Facebook. You may like to see some other pictures as well I think.
People from all over India flock here to visit Kashi Vishwanath Temple and to see the very famous worshiping of the sacred river Ganga at the banks or Ghats in the evening with lamps and frankincense called Aarti.
Foreigners from all over the world take great pains to come and appreciate India’s ancient heritage, religion and culture. The tourist attraction is mainly Manikarnika Ghat.
Going towards Dashashwamedh Ghat
We reach the ghat, river bank
Preparations in full swing for the Aarti
The Sun sets and hundreds of people feel relieved that their wait is over, including us. Before the Aarti starts, we take a long boat ride for an hour to see all the famous ghats.
Devotees float floating lamps with flowers to Mother Ganga to mark respect and some to fulfill boons.
Mystic touch added to Ganga with shining waters and a full moon night.
Dashaswamedh ghat is completely transformed into festivities and lights, thus compensating the long wait!

Two posts within less than twenty four hours!? Yes.
Some of you asked me in my absence from the blog when will the next post be out. I had no answer. I was merely floating as per God’s will and taking things as they came.
Yesterday, I was by some means asked to submit the post before midnight certainly by Swami Dayananda Shaligram. It was expected of me to submit a new post before midnight even if I thought that I needed more time. I never like to forego any directive by my Gurus because I know each word that I receive from them has tremendous power, reason and purpose. I posted Sankalp Shakti, the power of thought-I in the nick of time though I wished to retire last night. In that assigned job and steadfast endeavour, because of lack of time I could not add Part D. There was a lot of explanation from my side on many aspects in response to many mails and activities that are taking place between some readers and me. Something was let unexplained I knew. However, when I got a response from one reader from Kerala around 10.30 am today in reference to the post published barely twelve hours ago, I was stunned. I was electrified to see that my thoughts have reached those people who were alert and attuned. I was telling her many things mentally, I was guiding her from inside and she got it!
Without taking prior permission from Rakhie, I am publishing her mail so that she reads her very elaborate answer on the blog with full explanations. By sharing her mail others will also learn. She is very new on the blog, very young in age yet she has been very understanding all this while. Assuming that she must be a student or a young employee somewhere, and she lives very far, I excluded her in my group mail wondering if she should be put on the fast track or not. To my very sweet surprise, she has shown so much maturity in grasping the given messages and therefore I have decided to teach her more in detail in this blog post with all my delight and affection. She deserves it. Her reply will be a blog post because I will get a lot of scope for a long explanation on a subject which has not been taught or revealed before to many of you, rather all of you on this blog.
Some have expressed a desire that I should give a discourse also so that the recordings can be heard again many times for things to seep in. Shahid, is this what you have envisioned for hastening your learning and mentioned to me in your mail? You can record this post in your voice and re-run it several times. I have decided that this post will be in the form of a discourse or speech anyway, something I have not attempted before but looks fascinating. As long as the learners are gaining tremendously, any method is a good method. So we will give a new form to our post for freshness and also adapt ourselves to new learning methods. At the same time, everybody will be addressed in one go and the purpose of mass communication will be served also. There is one more reason for a shift in writing style. It is to make you more attentive, alert and self-reliant.
Dear Sarika Amma,
I have read your present blog. l was waiting for your new post. l can now feel that you are too busy because of increasing number of readers and their reply. Last when I wrote so many questions and when I read your reply I came to understand that you are busy. After some days I even felt that there is no body to care for me and my spiritual growth since I am a beginner and I cannot escape from this maya with my own effort because I am not as much strong and there is no body for me. Then I prayed so mind became calm. I am surprised today by reading your blog because some of my thoughts were reflected. l now understand that every devotee is given time for self- analysis they should build their strength by themselves by meditating and praying and also finding solution to their problem from inner guidance and all the great gurus are watching them and when appropriate time comes they will come to each one of us. Amma, thank you for your inspiration and guidance. My love and gratitude to all our gurus who are watching us and my love regards to great guru Mahavtar Babaji .
With lots of love Rakhie
My dearest Rakhie,
I am so happy to get your mail today and want to reply at my earliest.
First thing is that you are not alone and there is always somebody sent by God to take care of you. You are God’s child. Even if you are a beginner and have come in a class room actually meant for the advanced seekers, you are most welcome! You will be raised to next grade but do not feel disappointed at all. Just relax.
The only problem is that I have still not got an opportunity to explain at length about the organization of this Open University in the virtual world. I am well aware that there are many more like you who are struggling after joining this High Degree Course as they are a bit puzzled! Most of them have not been able to decipher what they should do now and what is their future because there is no structure or organization here. There is no conglomeration or meetings or sabhas, the Guru wears very normal clothes, has no intention of being popular or number one. In fact, she wishes to be a recluse; had it not been for Divine will, I would have never come out in open. And as you are seeing, there are many people who are seeking my attention and after acknowledging this fact, out of your good nature you wrote to me that you will not disturb me.
You are not disturbing me at all my girl! Agreed, there are many people who are asking for my time and attention as well as energies, but in the physical world this is too time-consuming. So what should be done in such a case?
Therefore, a second kind of option will be taken so that we all are connected, learn daily and make improvements, even so live apart anywhere in the globe, save time and yet be always connected!
Now listen to this carefully everyone –
God is the sole Creator, most powerful, Ever Conscious and Ever Awake. God is most pious, most sacred and most fair to each one of us. God is in the centre of everything that we see in this world and the originator of all Forces.
Depending on our own feelings, our good or bad thoughts, our purity, our good or bad intentions, a response is set off by us. With the will or sankalpa of God, a response is initiated from God’s corresponding force simultaneously. This process transforms in a subtle energy and takes the shape of a thought and is directed towards Shri Mahavatar Babaji if we wish.
The inherent power of God will decide thought’s movement or direction depending on our intention in our sankalpa. If we intended that Shri Babaji should listen to your pledges, prayers and requests, they will reach Babaji’s mind with the will of God.
He in turn, will answer your needs but as you are not yet ready to mentally connect to him on that subtlest level, he sends signals to me. In my meditation, he speaks to me and directs me what to do next.
Sometimes this may take time to reach me or you because the list of requests is terrific out there! So many thought signals, mental energies floating, crisscrossing each other in the atmosphere!
When I get specific information for specific tasks, I review it. I decode it and then ask for help from God and my Gurus to simplify or make it palatable for the users because we have done both, sins and good acts. Sometimes, the given task of redemption is so bitter to undertake, that a lot of patience and tact is required of me to handle the complicated situation. So I sometimes buy time.
With tremendous patience, faith and peace and courage, I take up many cases one by one so that a complete case history like a doctor maintains in a file is made in my mental sheet in the memory box of each seeker if they belong here. Time to time advice is given depending on his/her prarabdh or destiny, capacity to bear, fortitude, patience and complete trust in me.
What exactly happens in this virtual Open University? What exactly Babaji does for us? What is his role and my role in running this University?
In all other Orders and Organizations if you have noticed, there are structured norms, rules, steps and techniques given to be practiced. They all are good but only to purify or start up and or partly for redemption. Most of the other spiritual practices are normally initiating you so that in some life or far off rebirth, you shall be ready for Moksha.
But Babaji does the last and final act- He breaks us free by first telling us to bear and live our destiny. There is no running away from what we have done at some point of time.
If we are capable of doing that, next tray of challenges awaits us- our sanchit karmas or accumulated over lives actions’ results.
How?
Some of the effects are shared and borne by him and other saints and a fraction is shifted or flung at us. We find this much also uneasy to tolerate and undergo!
He allows us to practice whichever technique we are pursuing and along with that, some temporary tools are given by him as per changing times and needs in this blog or personally by me.
What he advocates the most and that which we have not been able to catch is-
Always do very good deeds. The reason is-it is the power of our actions or deeds that will mould all our lives now and in future.
Therefore, doing good actions, meditating and chanting to calm the mischievous mind, and doing all our worldly duties sincerely are vehemently advocated by Shri Mahavatar Babaji. My blog reflects that very evidently. Read all those posts if you have not done so related to karmas and consciousness.
Why does Shri Mahavatar Babaji not give us prescribed general teachings or techniques for masses?
It is because we all have come from absolutely different backgrounds and pasts and releasing the past negative, detrimental impacts of our actions is more important than anything else. Techniques are available from many reliable places also but Babaji asks us to reconstruct our present life to great heights so that our future is very bright and glorious.
He has also given us the inside story of a successful sadhak with this blog and also revealed all hidden sacred facts so that we do not fall prey to fraud people. Instead, we should do all our familial, social and professional duties sincerely and pray and sit in meditation at home to get all the dynamic results. Such a method will save us so much time and escape confusion, bewilderment and doubts. If you are already following some spiritual organizations or spiritual leaders, please do so. There is no reason to stop going there and doing group meditations or listening to lectures.
To summarize everything now-
There are two levels of human-communications.
Firstly- on the gross level as seen in interviews or meetings with people. The communication takes place with our eyes and ears and the people are physically present. Restriction- limited people can be involved.
Second kind of communication is subtle communication. It takes place with our mind via our thoughts. The purer and sacred the consciousness of any person, the faster the speed of transference between minds. Prayers and meditations will help you in fast development of this type of subtle communication.
In this kind of communication, there are no limits, any number of students can be enrolled in this Open University and there is no time bar or cut off marks. Each one walks at his own pace depending on his or her strength and will power.
Babaji is sitting in the Himalayas mentally guiding a huge number of devotees and sadhaks for their welfare on the basis of his great mental powers. He along with his mandali of chelas are working on so many worldly and spiritual projects silently.
We should try to adapt to the subtle mode of learning for faster, reliable and easy mode of communication.
My dear, I am listening to everybody even when I have not replied formally. The subtle work is all the time going on in the invisible world. So stay guaranteed that you will progress. You have to only learn this new method of learning and eventually master it skillfully. Agreed, this method is novel, unique and unheard of. But all Shrutis and Vedas have been written in this fashion when there was no technology to rely on. It is the most reliable source of gaining spiritual knowledge; Shri Mahavatar Babaji has chosen this method for me and has been successful. You can do the same.
My prayers and meditations are your replies. Learn to fetch your answers in silence and in the quiet workings of God. Sit down quietly many times in a day to listen to your Atma. It has stored all the recordings of the mental waves of Babaji, you and me.
The whole Universe is responding to your doubts, queries and inquisitiveness. Learn to look at things differently, with subtle, inner eyes. The inner sacred vision is most trustworthy.
With this now I end my correspondence. Some of the finest knowledge will arrive a bit later. This is enough for you for today.
We shall always be united with God’s soft and tender touch and presence.
Yours very lovingly
Sarika Amma
And lastly dear friends, did you not grasp that when I pray for all of you for what you mention in your mails or sometimes on phone? God listens to them; you must have got your answers within. When you come and tell me all the intricate problems related to life, I dish out very few solutions. This is because I pray quietly for you all instead. After this God decides based on your inner state of consciousness and purity, and after which the real work starts. I am certain that visible changes are taking place in your current life, make a note.
This is in addition to the fact, that in almost every meditation of mine, a substantial time is devoted from the saints more so by Babaji in imparting me guidance for you all. It is reflected in my mails and posts. Look inside, be more quiet in heart and mind and read the language of your soul, you will Know That.
The transmission, mental transmission is happening all the times between various minds. If you have softened your heart, made the mind pliable and humble then you are now ready to receive the wireless transmission relays coming straight from Babaji. From his source, emerge grand ideas for us if we have great thought or will power. We receive them in our mind and body and implement it if we are attentive.
Babaji’s style of working is unique. He utilizes the powers of his mind to bring about amiable positive changes in our environment and us. He calls it Sankalpa Shakti. Whatever he decides is bound to manifest. But if our minds are scattered, weak, and impure or confused, he cannot decide for us.
The last many posts on Fb are about mind and its powers. I have started writing on Fb so that small and easy lessons can be given to all of you in between the long blog posts. Simpler themes and easy to follow from beginner’s level to advanced levels are published on and off. Please consider both the avenues as equally important as Fb postings are an extension of blog. Especially those devotees who are at the basic or elementary level should read those posts reverentially because they are also always guided by the divine saints from the astral world.
Receptivity, attentiveness, clarity of thought, self-discipline, fortitude and consistency on Fb is as important as you are expected to have on Spiritinlife. They are one; only the exterior is different. Please pay attention to both. Learn from both because regular messages are being relayed from both sites.
Connect to the Holy Masters and your Atma inwardly by first silencing the mind. Unite your thoughts with the power of your sacred Guru and empower your thoughts by daily prayers and deep meditations!

Introduction & Updates and appraisal of recent developments on the blog.
My dear readers, I am back at my writing table after an interval of a few weeks. Intensive traveling to many new places and holy sites in India every month since the preceding several months has reduced my typical energies and also diminished available time to think coherently and one pointedly at a stretch that which is demanded to keep the blog aflame! Shifting climates, varied weather conditions and meeting a variety of strange people, availability of improper food was a challenge that I had already undertaken mentally before I set out and was prepared for anything. That circuit just got over and I am back after the lengthiest absence ever from home scene. Only normal routine seems perfect to write lengthy and comprehensive blog posts. Many new entrants are demanding my time and energy and were initiated and attended to in the weeks and months gone by.
Some devotees came to visit me from far and to me it appears that it was like a deeksha samaroh. In our interactions with divine grace, was embedded the strength of that ceremony although no such formal ceremony took place. I am certain that they got a head start with that divine force because they made the effort of motivating themselves and spared their precious time to come. They will henceforth be able to stand on their own gradually if they persist in their attempts over a long period of time to make prominent progress. Many emails are being dropped for personal supervision and enlightenment. Replies go as and when inspirations arrive at my end. No earnest soul is being deprived; a lot has to be done by the aspirant as per his or her aspirations and limits on the other hand. With continuing spiritual help and guidance from the Holy Masters, an ongoing silent revolutionary work is in progress far and wide. Some of you who are able to go deep within by sitting quietly with a calm mind will be able to assess one’s formidable progress ever since they started learning from Spiritinlife. And some will benefit in coming years if they persist till the end.
Part B
From the time when I came to know in the early 2001 year that Kashi or Banaras was visited by many, many holy saints even in modern times. I was thoroughly intrigued by this information and wondered what could be the reason for the saints all wishing to go the this holy ancient city be it Adi Shankarachary, Dayanada Saraswati, Swami Nityananda of Ganeshpuri, Ma Anandammoyi or even Shri Mahavatar Babaji. Lahiri Mahasayaji’s parents decided to make Kashi their home after their house was washed away in floods in Bengal during his childhood. Trilanga Swami made it his home and many rishis and sages have also stopped by anonymously on their pilgrimages since time unknown. Once I finished reading Autobiography of a Yogi, I thought of visiting Shri Lahiri Mahasaya’s abode in Kashi. I was very delighted to know that he lived there for so many years spreading Kriya Yoga in New Age quietly and discreetly. I wanted to pay my respect to this great Spiritual giant of modern times. I sought his blessings for my inner purification and growth. Thinking of all this within my heart, a seed of pure intention of going to collect the invisible dust of countless saints and seers was conceived and germinated. It became more pronounced when I learnt that Babaji had gone there from Kolkatta after he was free from slavery of bondage in his early childhood following a group of monks going to Varanasi.( The state of Super Consciousness-II)
At last, my day finally arrived when I had the opportunity to visit this ancient place a day before the colourful festival Holi on 16th March 2014. This time I decided not to search any internet browser to go to this very old city. My reason was that in ancient days there were no cameras to take and show pictures, no prior room bookings could be done so when people set out on long journeys, they went with an open and free mind. Their expectations were very limited. They did not demand anything at all from anybody and were submitted in their views. It must have been lighter in mind for them I estimated. Why should I visit this ancient holy city in a very uptight state of mind? I said to myself. I wished to be open to any kind of challenges or unexpected twists as well as any kind of experiences. In this way, I wanted to surrender to my Holy Gurus and the compassionate God my small gesture of devotion and offering towards them lovingly.
We were advised by everyone as we reached around 4 pm that we must not lose any time and should straight away go to the temple Kashi Vishwanath, the very old Shiva temple in the heart of that city because of the uproar and hooliganism that the local youths are prone to start up the following morning on the occasion of Holi Festival, Dhulivandan. So we went by their sane advice and to our delight, the temple was absolutely empty as the locals were busy with the celebration of festival Holi.
We spent a considerable time inside the premises, meditated and sat in peace for as much as we liked. There was sedative silence and no one was bothering us. As we sat under the very old Peepal Tree on a full Moon night growing so closely to the temple, I was truly gratified. Prior to the start of the journey, I had wished for some solitude and was wondering how I could manage or escape those long serpentine queues and rough behaviour of the stream of people usually found in famous public places of pureness.
As the night was very lovely and cool on a full moon in Banaras, so was my mind, very imperturbable. All the tiredness, dust and noise of the overcrowded city were forgotten suddenly. Meditating under a calm and peaceful full moon on a very pleasant night with minimum human congestion was God sent and my favourite dream had come true. I wondered at that time in peacefulness that so many holy feet must have stepped inside this temple since thousands of years, including Shri Mahavatar Babaji. Did my foot fall on his? Am I walking on his foot prints?
Inaudibly in the atmosphere I was sending my waves of devotion to my Holy Master who with his kindness and unending love decided that I must come to this city. It is my very good fortune that he asked me to go to Banaras. My quiet ways of sending my gentle salutations and tender love to the Holiest of all were my quiet prayers. God please make this happen. Send my thanks through the sky route and may Shri Babaji accept my devotion. May my unseen wireless communication reach his heart and mind so that he knows that no matter where I may be physically; my life will always be pledged and dedicated to him mentally for the endearing experiences that he plans for me besides my spiritual growth so repeatedly!
My meaningful vision-
With such freshening and serene thoughts I went to sleep. In the wee hours of the morning, just before the uproar of the festival could even commence around me, I had a holy vision of Lord Shiva in complete subdued atmosphere. A beam of thick pillar of white Light came from the high sky and entered the Earth. On the Earth surface was a small, black primitive stone which was mostly buried inside the Earth. This was exactly what I saw the previous night in Vishwanath temple. The beam of light infiltrated in the holy black stone. In next moment, there was no stone but mist like Light scattering all around my vision. It spread in an area and covered the canopy over the previous standing Shivlinga. Thick rays of Light replaced the black idol and symbol of Shiva. Now there was just the white rays of Light falling from far away.
Out of this mist like Light came the benediction, “God has made this Earth very holy and pious. It was created with blessedness. Some sectors on Earth have been generated during very ancient times like this one where human souls can redeem themselves. Twelve jyotirlingas have been formed with twelve different purposes mainly for human salvation. This one though very small in size, has the immense power to give to humans the power to regenerate if attacked by very powerful outside negative agencies.
In recent times, when a tyrant Mughal king attempted to demolish this holy place, he was unsuccessful because this place has the inherent power to fight vandalism, destruction and violent attacks. Such attacks are born out of negative and destructive energies.
This is not all. If people who are trapped and cramped in very ancient ignorance carried over uncountable centuries or in thousands of centuries; if they pray here to break their hard steel like crust in their head, they will be granted boons. This is the specialty of this place and hence Babaji has sent you here to experience the greatness of this extra ordinary place.
Please pray for that person. The extremely hard crust of ignorance which was formed when he was an Aborgini is still intact although he is today reborn in modern times. While he took many births in so many centuries, the obsession of not letting go of his ancient ego is still intact.
Pray for your children. Pray for him and all others. If you make such a request, I shall bless you with ever new discoveries into my secretive world.”
Without slipping even a fraction of any minute, I took advantage of the blessed times and prayed to the all-pervading, ever present, most powerful God to empower me enough so that primitive ignorance embedded in ego of that particular person could be cracked and broken very soon with me as the cause and instrument.
Instantly the boon was granted. My well like shaped heart was inundated with seamless mercy and kindness of God and the holiest of holy Shri Mahavatar Babaji for granting me the boon to break the hard shell of somebody who can never be able to advance fast on spiritual growth path with his own efforts in many centuries to come. A gigantic thrust was required to wake up somebody like him who has decided to go on sleeping in spiritual slumber for many, many epochs.
I understood that Shri Mahavatar Babaji wishes that I enter the unknown, unexplored territories of the divine world with his supervision but with my own hard efforts. The boons will be granted easily with his blessings and God’s benevolence but he created a situation which was in the beginning very unappealing and tough to achieve but in the end a great intention was fulfilled. The Banaras trip was rough and rugged and very chaotic on the superficial level but the inner gains were immeasurable.
When the sun rays were filtering from the eastern side of the Ganga river as the warm Sun woke up the holy city Varanasi, I visualized and imagined a scene in which I was pouring a stream of silver and golden rays of gratitude and appreciation towards my Param Deva, Param Siddha, Param Guru Shri Mahavatar Babaji for letting me take one more big stride and leap in the sacred undisclosed world of sanctity made by the Divine. Eternally thankful, always bowing down in humility for your unending love and compassion, my Param Pujya, Maha Shreshtha, SadaShiv, Narayan Deva, Babaji!!
Part C
This post must be kept small and precise; such is my belief. In-depth analysis and reflection is expected from all of us after a few visits.
I have observed that some readers are grappling with bewilderment and confusion. For their sake, let me clarify this-
In this Virtual Open University called Spiritinlife, Shri Mahavatar Babaji is the owner and Co-Founder. Swami Nityananda is the principal and Swami Dayananda Shaligram is the Vice Principal. Planning is done at top most level with God’s will, I only execute the given guidelines and orders during meditation. I only abide and have no will or inclination towards anyone at all.
Just a week back, I wrote to a few blog readers in a group to consolidate the increasing number of readers with the pursuit of saving my time and giving direction to all those who seek my help. In future, more such directions will come and after the response given to me, they will decide how to guide whom and when and in which direction. Though it seems to everybody that they are alone and nobody is above them supervising their progress, they are mistaken. You are requested to stay assured that as per your own strength and weaknesses, your chart and log book will be carved out. You all are under the supervision of those saints and stalwarts who may be invisible to your eyes but they have neither ignored you nor are they partial to anybody. Our own interest and inner capacity to move ahead is mainly what they focus on. The backup of our wealth of karmas or doings is the central deciding factor. Our current thoughts, the power of our thoughts, will impart a force to the given direction and management of all the aspirants
I request you to please know and understand that under no circumstance do I have any wish to discontinue my self- improvement and progress because I have not fixed any bar or limit for myself. With an Enlightened Great Teacher like Shri Mahavatar Babaji, I wish to go on escalating my tapasya in spite of hardships and continuing discomforts. A time slot for my own spiritual practice schedule is being advised to be maintained regularly. Kindly allow me to do my own sadhana and meditation, I need to be consistent and dedicated just like you.
Some of you are prone to self- doubt and or false impression or misconception that they have reached a considerable great height and wish to walk alone. Please beware, till the end establish your tight hold with your mentors and Teachers. Salvation and redemption of our Spirit is an arduous journey so full of unexpected and unexplained twists and turns. Only those reach their destinations who have immense patience, faith and infallible devotion for their chosen Enlightened Masters. The jugglery of pursuing the worldly duties and spiritual duties should be sorted out carefully and then balanced properly. In the end, as a final point God shall reward us with all the joys and happiness of both the worlds. The doors of the secretive domain related to Spirit World shall be slowly opened before your eyes with their benevolence and magnanimity.
Let us pray together that as we walk slowly each day to reach our holy destination, we shall relinquish our ego, we shall become more sweet and humble and that we shall be dedicated and serve the Holy Masters the rest of our lives!

Bhagwan Shiva is the Adi Guru and the first yogi living in Himalayas who researched and founded yoga and discovered the art of controlling breath. He is the pioneer of Kriya Yoga or the Science of regulating the breath and with its constant practice in isolation, capturing of the mind and finally silencing it. In conclusion, the mind and body were made immortal and divinized with the help of intense practice of this innovative Science combined with deep meditations.
Lord Shiva then initiated his son Kartikeyan into this yogic science. In times to come, Lord Kartikeyan blessed his foremost disciple Bogarnath and initiated him into the same practice of immortalizing the body and mind with tapas. Shri Bogarnath was a great Sage or Maharishi who spent most of his life in thick forests in South India. Moreover, he did wonderful research of ancient yogic sciences and lived a long life. His samadhi is in Palani in Tamil Nadu, near Madurai. He is a deathless Guru and considered one of the eighteen Siddhas of India. He mastered Chemistry of making human body deathless and immortal, did intensive research in Yoga and many more mystic secretive yogic disciplines. I have paid my obeisance to him twice in Palani, where he rests even today, by visiting the powerful temple of Kartikeyan or Murugan Swami built by him with panch dhatu or five metals.
When Mahavatar Babaji was doing great penance in the forest of Sri Lanka in Katargama, as a young boy of less than fourteen, Swami Bogarnath initiated him into higher levels of Kriya practice in the subtle world. Mahavatar Babaji was initiated by Bogarnath during his meditation into the Science of Kriya Yoga. With great deal of kripa or blessing, I have been able to go and spend enough time in this sacred place of Katargama also two times. Both these places were never known to me until my dearest Guru Shri Mahavatar Babaji directed me to go there in order to make advances in my spiritual and mental well being. I shall be always very grateful to him for sending me to such dynamic places which are associated with his own spiritual accomplishments.
Dear friends i have made pilgrimages recently to Somnath and Dwarka also. Somnath is one of the twelve jyotirlingas in India. Prior to that trip, I also went to Dakshineshwar in Jan 2014 and before that I made a wonderful trip to Pondicherry and Palani in 2013.
When I was in Madurai and before embarking to Palani a night before, Shri Bogarnath spoke to me in the hotel at length which I have shared with you in this post God Within –III.
Since I have come from Palani, he has been teaching me many new things about which I was totally unaware. My meditations are so much richer and profound. I have been hearing the higher frequency of Om frequently which is giving deep peace in my mind. It is the kripa of Shri Bogarnath I just understood yesterday. I have been repeatedly hearing a very high frequency sound which is higher than Om and it leaves behind impeccable peace of mind. Nothing disturbs. Babaji has put me in the hands of Shri Bogarnath for my next grade of education and tutoring after my second visit to Palani. He has been teaching me mostly every day early morning between 4 and 6 am. That is his time of taking me up for my further studies. I am extremely grateful to him for inducting me as one of his students. I am again realigning my daily schedule as per his advice. The heart is full of thanksgiving and salutes him so many times throughout the day for his unlimited generosity. Everything that he has imparted to me is new and fresh. The reason is that the first level that he begins with is for the accomplished ones and the standard quite high.
Please read this article many times, first as a whole and then in parts many times. Read after a few days again so that the complete analysis is formed in your mind. Also do not forget to thank him profusely so that with his generosity and benevolence, you shall be imparted some light and insight into his huge reservoir of ancient wisdom. He usually likes us to wake up early and meditate with him where we can get an opportunity to commune with him easily.
He taught me-
Kripa or Grace is of three types- Kanishtha, Madhyam and Uttam or less, medium and high types. They depend on the tapas of the sadhak congruently.
Tapasya or penance of three types – tapasya, ghor tapasya and mahaghor tapasya.
Bhakti orDevotionthree types – Tamoguni, Rajoguni and Satoguni.
Tamoguni devotion is when the devotee is selfish and asks for himself or herself only and gives nothing in return to God. Some of them also use dark forces to get their end results.
Rajoguni devotionis done by devotees who love God and will return something also when they are benefited but on one or two conditions.
Satoguni bhakti or devotion is done by pure devotees who ask for nothing in return and love God only because they want God’s Grace and love in return. They always do thoughtful and generous actions which are unselfish in nature.
Bhakt or devotees are four types- Aart, Artharthi, Jigyasu, Mumukshu.
Aart – Many devotees come to God or Guru when they have problems and they wish to find a remedy. Once the problems are solved they leave and go back doing regular things.
Artharthi – the devotees who come to Guru’s ashram or shelter because they want arth which means wealth, money or prosperity.
Jigyasu – those people who have jigyasa or curiosity. Once their curiosity is fulfilled, such devotees do not continue their relation with the Guru or with God either and they get engrossed in many other activities of life and return to their normal prior lives.
Mumukshu – the one who has the desire of Moksha or salvation. Out of so many devotees of God or a Self-Realized Guru, just a trickle or handful come to them for salvaging their lives and wish to liberate themselves from the shackles of life and death’s suffering. They never leave their honourable Guru and never break the relationship with God who they had searched in many previous lives while facing many hurdles and problems daringly. Their lives are a complete submission at the holy feet of the Great Masters and benevolent God.
Shanti or peace is of three types- Shanti, Ghor shanti, Param shanti. Peace, deep peace and Ultimate Peace.
Part B
On 3rd March evening, I got up from a short meditation with deep serenity. In that time when my eyes were closed, in my vision I could see my back and my face turned towards distant Eternity. I was facing the Lord. I could see Light. There was nothing else in the view besides me and the Light. I saw a big circle of very pale light, almost white in colour. Soon the circle became bigger and bigger and it enlarged on its own so much. It had stretched itself as far as it could to its maximum. My whole vision was surrounded by serene Light. I was sitting and seeing this big white Light. With so much fascination on its arrival and magnetism, after a few moments, I decided to go inside it. I melted myself inside this big corona of white light. It was extremely light. I vanished inside it wholly, there was just Pure Light and I was not present anymore. The Pure white Light continued being there for quite a while until I heard the Voice of God telling me –
“Today you have crossed the last step thereby the whole of Brahmrandra, Crown Chakra has opened. It is fully opened. When the Crown Chakra begins to open by the yogic activities of a yogi, for some it opens a little and after that he stops putting in more efforts. For others it may open somewhat half or a little more. Rarely it opens completely and fully open in one life wherein all the cells of the nervous system are active. You have achieved this in the shortest ever time. Those who reach this stage of evolution can receive Prabhutva gyan or extremely rare knowledge of God.”
I became speechless and wondered nothing. Silence and peace only prevailed.
What can I say? I owe this exclusive experience to Shri Mahavatar Babaji for it has happened only because of his constant guidance, care and love which has been flowing uninterruptedly since so many years. Guru Kripa kewal Guru Kripa!!
Now regarding me recently, Maharishi Bogarnath informed me this-“Tu asadharan stree hi nahi parantu vishesh hai.(Expand your Consciousness-II) Tere dono bahon me bala hai. Ek bazu mei bala hai dhairya, aur doosre mai hai buddhi. Tumhe asadharan safalta apne purushartha mei isliye mili kyunki tumhara mana bahut sthir hai. Aur tumhara mana bahut shaant hai.
Prachin kaal mei, log Bharat mei barah Jyotirlinga ke darshan nahi kar pate they kyunki saaf safai ka abhav tha aur adhunki parivahan nahi tha.Tum itne teerth par gayi ho aur tumne kabhi koi shikayat nahi ki hai kisi asuvidha hone par itna safar karne ke baad bhi.
Babaji ki di hui padhai aur pariksha tumne samay se thodi der pahele hi khatam kar li, isliye veh tumse prasanna hai. Mai bhi tumko har roz nayi nayi baat sikha raha hoon.Tum Kriya barabar karti ho, maun rakhti ho, samay par neend le rahi ho aur khana samay par kha rahi ho. Aur sabse badi baat hai ki tumhara mana bilkul ek jagah par hai. Babaji ki kripa se tumhara Brahmrandra pura khul gaya hai. Tum paanch baar Babaji ke darshan ke liye Himalaya gayi aur veh tumse jaankar nahin mile. Ishwar ne un paanch yatraon ke liye tumhe ashirwad diya hai. Ek yatra ek janam ki tapasya gini jayegi aur is prakar tumne paanch janam ki tapasya woh paanch yatraon mei kar li hai.”
“You are not only an extraordinary womanbut are special because you havemight in both hands. The might of patience in one arm and in the other intelligence. You have achieved exceptional success in your spiritual endeavours because your mind does not waver; it is steady all the time. And you have a peaceful mind.
“In olden days, people were not successful in completing the darshan of all twelve jyotirlingas in India because of lack of hygiene and proper transportation. You have gone on so many pilgrimages and have never complained by the inconveniences caused by excessive travelling.
All the studies and tests given by Babaji to you have been pursued and finished before time and therefore he is pleased with you. Even I am teaching you so many concealed things because Babaji is happy with you. It is with his benevolence that the Crown Chakra has blossomed fully. You have made five unsuccessful attempts to Babaji’s abode in the Himalayas. He purposefully did not meet you. God has blessed you for those five unsuccessful yatras. Each trip is equal to one life’s penance and therefore you achieved the penance of five lives in this life granted by God. ”
I asked Swami Bogarnath to clarify if the Crown Chakra opens in stages or not. I was curious to learn and know from a Maharishi like him whose stature is gigantic. He answered saying that -“Yes, it opens in stages very slowly. It does not normally open all at once in one life. It takes a lot of time to evolve this part of the human body because it is a very delicate organ and the life trials are deterring and hence the hindrance. Human life situations can be very critical at a few times. The procedure becomes time consuming because of this reason. The people become pessimist or depressed and these melancholic tendencies act as a deterrent and constrains them. Relentlessness, cheerfulness and blind faith in the Realized Guru are foremost requisitions for the quick flowering of this seventh centre of spiritual energies.”
Illumination, more illumination has been trickling in as sheer Grace of God! I was quite intrigued at the incessant flow of special information supplied to me. I then began to wonder how it is possible that Babaji is being extremely benevolent towards me and hence my rapid progress.
Why me?
Diffusing my queries, Maharishi Bogarnath satiated my doubt by replying to me. In his own words-
“You have done tapas in continuous last eight incarnations. It takes minimum of eight continuous lives with unremitting concentration and patience for God realization. Each eight incarnations must be totally dedicated for God Realization only. Average people take fifteen births and many take more than fifteen continuous lives to open up their Crown Chakra or Brahmrandra for full enlightenment. Some take twenty five to thirty five lives for its culmination.
In exceptional case like Babaji’s, it has taken him just six lives for full enlightenment and there can be no comparison at all with anybody since Shri Mahavatar Babaji got spiritual enlightenment many millennia back. He has been escalating his mahaghor tapa and going on adding to his ocean of spiritual knowledge and wisdom since then. Today his state of spiritual consciousness is beyond our comprehension and we are unable to fathom his stature.”
I quickly recollected at this stage something that Babaji had told me some years back in 2004-
“Moksha or salvation is not the end of supreme human evolution. Moksha is not the completion or termination as you think my dear child. You are well versed with the Holy Scriptures and feel that you are still not able to comprehend what is Moksha as per the indications given in the Hindu Shastras.
It is not your fault. The ancient Hindu scriptures were not divulging enough as it was prohibited from God not to reveal too much because of the possibility of blasphemy or violation of sanctity by unruly seekers. Therefore you thought after summarizing the scriptures that you would like to end your journey at attaining liberation or Moksha. Rather, the real journey starts from hereon. At this juncture, the Brahmarandra just begins to open up and will keep on blossoming as and when the process of its culmination is put into action. Almost all the aspiring yogis like to break and end their journey at this summit. The journey is tough. But this is not the summit.
Moksha means exhausting all past karmas. After Moksha, a new phase can be entered by the jigyasu or mumukshu. From here on, start the escalating stages of blazing, very blazing and intensely blazing knowledge which in Hindi are called Teevra, Prachand and Prabhutva Gyan respectively.
As and when the sadhak makes progress at the behest of the enlightened Master, the Crown Chakra simultaneously blossoms. At Prachand gyan stage, the Crown Chakra opens around half in size.
Many sages, saints and yogis are exhausted at this stage and cannot go further because of intense penance required for its culmination. It gets very hard at such a high stage of evolution for the reason that the enlightened Master will not inform his aspiring devotee beforehand and the disciple should fall back on his or her own will power and resilience which is required in wholesome quantities. God will only allow and let those yogis go higher still if the burning desire or Ichcha Shakti in them is inextinguishable.The Holy Master only supports and guides his devotees once the inextinguishable flame is visible to the Master and he has unconditional love and undying compassion for the deserving disciples.
Between the stages of middle and final culmination of the Crown Chakra, concurrently Prachand and Prabhutva stage of Godliness, it is a tight rope walk. The Master supervises the last onset of intense growth period but with a price to pay by his devotees.Many challenging and problematic tasks are to be performed and passed by the yogi after which he or she may or may not finally reach a stage where the traversing ends. The yogi sees God in full glory and luminosity at full blossom of his Brahmrandra.
Nonetheless, after arriving at this safe stage the Maha Guru begins to shower all the ancient and well preserved spiritual knowledge and secrets liberally to his favoured for all the perseverance, sincerity, hard work and obedience showed towards his Master. At last, the devotee is at an irrevocable and secure stage after which he will bask in deeper oceans of peace and tranquility because of which God contact becomes so much easier, quicker and the relationship between God and devotee as a lover is far more informal than ever before.”
This revelation of facts coincides with another mystic experience that I just encountered unexpectedly. This happened by means of God substantiating His verdict by giving me a glimpse of his sacred world and its sublime working lately.
On 6th March in a very early morning transcended stage, even before I left the bed, I had a beautiful vision of Lord Vishnu sleeping peacefully on a black serpent, Shesh Nag. I was seeing it with keenness and affinity when the slumbering serpent raised its hood and jumped towards me. I was calm and without any ruffle. Just then, five beautiful golden rays of God’s Light came out of the mouth of that serpent and were thrown at me with a force. I looked at the rays again to inspect and see more clearly if they were shining. Seeing their brilliance, I was satisfied and assured that this must be a good omen and the vision is a harbinger of something nice to happen to me. The answer came to me later from Maharishi Bogarnathar yesterday early morning.
He explained to me in the morning of 10.03.14- “This was an indication from God that you are completely united with God with no Maya. Lord Vishnu has conquered the whole Maya and therefore sleeping on the serpent Shesh Nag which symbolizes the delusion of man or Maya.
Even the extreme faintest etches or markings of Maya on your mind accrued in all the human incarnations undertaken by you have been erased by your tapasya which you have done in this life. You have no debt towards the Earth anymore. The debt of each human being is enormous. We incarnate many times. In each life, we consume food, water, air, medicine, natural resources, the care and concern and kripa of godly deities and much more. This debt increases as we proceed in each incarnation.
You are now totally entitled for Prabhutva Gyan or extremely brilliant spiritual knowledge which begins now.
Prabhutva Gyan is the most difficult to attain. We have to give back to the Earth and the whole Universe with our body, mind and wealth-tana, mana, dhan. When the equation becomes equal, the human Soul acquires Ultimate Peace or Param Shanti.
Prachand Gyan also is hard to accomplish. Even the seers, sages and saints get tired and impatient. This revelation about you to the world is not to seek any attention for you, but for a different purpose. It is for all the striving seekers to know that they have a long road to march and they should therefore first improve their concentration. Only when the mind is so very concentrated, will you be able to achieve highest human feats and reach the highest spiritual domains.
The devotees who are interested in this pursuit, they should concentrate on the image of Krishna or Babaji. Have faith in your own self. One would require solitude, isolation for a very long time and silence should be practiced liberally.”
He continued showering kindness by telling me many things about myself which only he was entitled to tell – “You were getting ghor shanti and now if you should attempt further for more Param Shanti which translates aspeace of mind which can reach about twenty five kilometers or so. Also the depth of your peace should be more and it should be able to heal others with your mere intention.
So many human ailments are healed if we increase the depth of our peace by making it more profound.
People cannot know from exterior if we are a yogi or a bhogi; a seeker or an indulgent. But the peace emitting out of the body and mind will determine whether we are pure in mind and body or not. The purer the mind, the more peaceful it shall be. Ultimate Peace is achieved when the mind is absolutely calm and quiet.My sweet child, you were always in pursuit of the Ultimate Peace. Your search of Ultimate Peace is now within your reach.”
Getting to know so much from Maharishi Shri Bogarnathar, I was still left with one question to which he replied on his own. The relay of conversation occurred just yesterday morning. He continued satisfying me by confiding in me-
“I and Babaji both decided and we prayed to Supreme God about thirteen years ago to permit us to approve and endorse our intention. In ancient ages, when the wise sages wrote something or documented their research in the field of Yoga, Science, Astrology, Astronomy, Chemistry, Mathematics or even Physics for that matter, it was not preserved well. The manuscripts were vulnerable to natural elements of fire and floods. Sometimes they were even robbed and hence the hard work of a genuine sage could become the source of glory of another deceitful person. Hence in this age we wanted someone to write a complete manuscript or shastra of how to attain God, the process of salvation. We thought if this project would be successful, I would want to write and preserve my own hard earned ancient chronicles of wisdom acquired over ages in a well-mannered documentation. Today in this age of technology, any data can be preserved for many ages safely via many new multimedia forms. And hence the articles that you are now writing are at my behest and are being documented and preserved. It can be used in future for many eager generations who wish to help themselves. Your great effort in this endeavour has been rewarded by God and will be considered equal to Adi Shankaracharya’s arduous effort of visiting the four holy corners of sacred India rejuvenating Dharma and uniting the char dhams of India – Badrinath, Dwarka, Puri and Rameshwaram.”
Oh! Sweet Lord! Make us pure Like Thee! Make us Glorious like Thee! Make us desire less like Thee! Make us humble like Thee!
Since morning as the day started, more so towards mid-day, I have been falling into deep meditative state. Being MahaShivratri, I offered my flowers of devotion. I spoke to God incarnate inside several times because the flurry of activities did not seem to wane. No matter what I did, mundane or very important, I was alive on a very high realm and my state of mind had impeccable peace. I had decided to meditate in silence but the rush of outside activities did not allow me to do so. Nonetheless, I persisted without upsetting myself. As I was cleaning my temple, I got to understand the philosophy of ‘meditating in activity’. I remembered this line which I had read more than fifteen years ago said by Shri Aurobindo and later repeated by other enlightened yogis-meditation in activity.
In the past years, I have been perplexed thinking how was that possible? I have pondered over these statements given by those Souls who live on very high planes of existence where there are a few souls only; a divine kingdom which is very calm and peaceful and the endless peace does not elude them anyhow. Today morning, I was pleased to become aware of this spectacle once again. It also gave me the confidence that if I could not meditate in the morning on this special day, God knows. He is with me and showing me Light by giving me higher wisdom by teaching me Higher Precepts.
If He has given me a lot of service towards his children, He is also telling me how to be in connection with Him in spite of excessive physical and mental activities. All He expects me to do is to attend to the requests of his children and guide them properly so that they do not drift away into the delusive Maya or confusion of the blinding, alluring world another time.
I questioned myself. What if I am thoroughly busy with the compulsion of my duties and side by side I also stay in constant contact with God inside? I decided to create more and more saatvik karmas thus providing me more inner peace and unceasing God contact. I decided to worship Lord Shiva by doing service to those who need me in their times of clearing of their past difficult karmas so that one day they could be free from the dross and burden of their past connection. They will become lighter and at liberty and their lives will be happier and more peaceful most of the time. This was my wish and prayer to Lord Shiva since morning. I have recited Trayambakam Yajamahe sugandhim pushti vardhanam…..many times in the Shiva temples on my pilgrimage. On one such pilgrimage, I mentally offered all my jaap and prayers for those who need them.
Being totally selfless gives me grave peace.
It gives me a state of mind by which I am able to deliver my duties towards my Gurus and God and also do further tapasya which consequently gives me the Ultimate Peace. This Ultimate Peace is exceedingly rejuvenating and instantly connects me to God by virtue of it.
Enlightening wisdom received during my twilight meditation now
Ultimate Peace is obtained when we are absolutely selfless. Grave Peace is achieved by those yogis who are willing to work industriously for themselves as well as for those who seek their help for higher spiritual growth and welfare.
Now regarding that unique sound- my mind shifted to my right ear where the sharp sound was lingering which was similar to Om but it was not what I had heard ever before. I was slightly puzzled and very desperately curious to know after all what that was and why it had appeared in the first place. Was this sound an indicator and a tip off that the mind of Shri Mahavatar Babaji was about to relay something to me or was it an auspicious sign of something else?
After a few seconds of wonderment, I got to experience another moment of stupefaction when I began to hear this sacred information from Him,
“The unique sound that you just heard is a sound which is higher than the wavelength of Om. It will give you profound and very deep peace. The uninterrupted peace will last for three continuous days.”………
I heard this divine sound again on 24th of Feb’14, just three days back when I was sitting quietly after I finished my work at home.
Conclusion
Very potent things are small and subtle. The more powerful it is, the more micro in size. I wish to make this post small because the power and energy of God is very active today and those of us who have faith in their Gurus and God equally, will surely see a huge transformation in their innate characteristics. They will without doubt transcend their limitations, will go to higher levels of consciousness.
With these intentions and request to God and Lord Shiva, the Adi Guru and remover of all weaknesses and sins and giver of Immortality and Divinity, I close down this post with my humble offering to His Holiness Shri Mahavatar Babaji on this sacred day.
Bhid Bhanjan or Bhidiya Ganpati and Shashi Bhushan Shiv temple
An old Shiva temple with Ganpati behind which is the sea and the spot from where an Adivasi shot a poisoned arrow at Lord Krishna after which he left this world.
At the back of the temple with the pilgrims and the priest
The orange flag on the land is the spot from where the Adivasi man shot the poisoned arrow called Baneshwar Mahadeva
Two Shivlingas submerged in the sea water- Kapileshwar and Chandreshwar Mahadeva
Shree Bhalka Teerth Mandir, the spot where Lord Krishna was pierced with the poisoned arrow and he breathed his last (Camera was not allowed inside the main temple)
Nageshwar Jyotirlinga, one of the twelve Light Pillars of Lord Shiva, 16 kms from Dwarka (Camera was strictly prohibited in Dwarka so have none to display)
Just as we entered the premises, it had gravity, it pulled us in. This Banyan Tree had uncountable birds, chirping, singing, shrieking because it had mammoth number of red fruit of the tree. Rested under it and saw this view on my right…..
View on my left
And on the tree were many, many chirping birds…..
There was a big pond behind the temple. Water birds were basking in the Sun. Out of many, this is the best I think.
On our way to Bet Dwarka, an island of Krishna’s kingdom and residence, to see Dwarkadhish temple.
Where the Mind is Without Fear and the head is held high,Where knowledge is free…….Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake; by RabindraNath Tagore ran into my ears again and again.

Reminiscing about my last decade’s synopsis of inner spiritual yatra , I saw that when I was adamantly searching, I was essentially in search of peace. I wished to have a unyielding peace of mind. I had asked God to grant me that in great abundance. After the turmoil and mayhem inside, born out of my own fate I wished to seek something that would give rest to my mind. I was very tired, really tired of the whole thing.
Everything looked worthless except having peace of mind during that crucial life phase. It seemed as mandatory to my life as my need of oxygen. It became as imperative as water is to each one of us; water is our lifeline. It became as pressing as one’s daily night sleep is for our well-being.
I wanted peace of mind like never before because it seemed to me that whether good or low times, peace was never sought by me earlier and that it had to be accomplished somehow. It was really vital for my life. Besides that, if I did not lead a peaceful and pious life, eventually it did not matter what I possessed or achieved in worldly gains, they were inconsequential. My saatvik tendencies were bursting to the fore with full force as if there was no other aim to be achieved in life other than this one. It was a matter of life and death kind of a situation when I look back to review my life now. By looking back, I also get a sense of awareness as I can gauge very well how much, how much my Masters have worked on me day and night painstakingly without any halt. It was because I could once and for all achieve the ultimate goal of salvaging my soul and free my chains of slavery from the innumerable karmas that I have sowed in countless lives. After that only could I live truly peacefully.
When peace arrived with the arrival of so many visions of His Holiness Swami Nityananda and Swami Shaligram of Ganeshpuri during my sleep, I turned inward effortlessly. I touched a chord with them instantaneously and with their each arrival came a gush of peace. It was a new beginning in my life with such mystic encounters that look unbelievable to most people, particularly to the profane. In the middle of black clouds, a gentle revolution within was taking place in silence. Every vision of Swami Nityananda and every soothing, assuring word of the Swami of a few words, Dayananda Shaligram were moving me into God’s world that was so promising; it was laden with divine peace and sustained calmness.
As more and more calmness infiltrated into life, my mind automatically lost the grip of the thoughts that were associated with several people, things and even events of previous life phases. I got a hold of things as they were in reality, in genuineness as well as with a sense of intense calmness and my views were dispassionate as though those events were someone else’s story and not mine. This was in spite of the fact that I gained a true picture of people’s false, crooked and hypocritical nature and I saw them in correct light with the Grace of the benevolent saints. Grace was cascading over me ceaselessly because I asked for redemption and was ready to do any kind of penance to pay the price of my biggest wealth- my armoured, peaceful mind.
The biggest virtue that I received from Swami Shaligram was that peace is everything. There was a solution to every problem of mine which he said he would give me but I should hold on to my peace and not let it slip away. If I had peace in my mind and would not be ruffled, then one day I could also see God because peace follows more peace, and when we have abundant peace and do penance correspondingly, God appears to us. I was convinced of this logic because my life was surely changing as I calmed down my mind each day and saw the pronounced results. I began to intuit more, I began to communicate with my Swamis more often than before and I was turning inward more and more and my health began to improve drastically. I now had a reason to re-align my life once again.
When I embarked on my voyage, I was doing everything for peace and wanted to know the Truth from God directly in that state of mind. Who knew at that time as things were so out of tune, that one day I would be sharing my intimate spiritual experiences with people and that they would be useful for all of them in some way or the other. They would in future also open new avenues for them on their path of God realization. My experiences would help them in their growth and progress and my words would be a reflection of God’s own words for others to follow and circumnavigate……life is so pleasantly surprising, really!!!
My learning at that time–
The most important aim of our meditation is to achieve deep tranquility and peace of mind.Our Spirit will only manifest itself if the inner environment is peace laden.
There is no peace without a prior tempest; there is no lasting peace of mind without a long duration of penance or tapasya.
Some of you who make an intent quietly in your heart, God will grant that slowly until the time when the clouds of outside storm gathered around you are disintegrated by God and peace would return in its place.
This is the blessing that we should ask God to bestow on us so that God as intense peace shines forth as the Sun amidst the grey clouds that were gathered in the mind.
Part B
On 2nd Feb 2014 evening, as I was working in the kitchen, all of a sudden I heard a very unique, overwhelming and heavenly sound similar to Om. In an instant, my eyes became enlarged like never before, my diaphragm expanded and extended extraordinarily and I felt a huge spiral current across my spine which made me totally energetic and robust.
I was stretching myself further and further outwardly till my breath stopped fully. I could feel that there was no beating of the heart and I was not uncomfortable in any way because of this. I straightaway stopped my hands working on the counter of the kitchen and stood still without a breath to know what was happening so unusual. I was observing myself objectively.
Just right then my eyes were opened but at a standstill, I could see the arrival of the appearance of Shri Mahavatar Babaji with a laptop, and reading something in a far off mountainous area with someone young leaning towards the screen of the computer. He was smiling softly, and I heard him saying, “Oh so she has published such a wonderful post on the internet. People have liked it and also the simile of the Bird of Paradise. This means that she receives flawlessly what I want her to take from my mind. She is gathering my thoughts in the most precise manner, the way I want her to receive!”
Suddenly at this moment, something unprecedented happened. A relay of thoughts originating from the mind of Shri Mahavatar Babaji were transferring and reaching my mind.
It was very evident; I could sense and see it, both. Like Sanjay of Mahabharata character I could see the whole scene being enacted in a distant place while standing in my house and with eyes open. I could for a while see unmistakably Shri Mahavatar Babaji sitting with someone in a house made of stones in a hilly area and he was seeing the Home Page of my blog and reading the subject matter and finally rolling his eyes from top to bottom on the screen of my blog. He was delighted with what he saw and his face projected ecstasy. I could understand that he wished I must surely know in some way that he keeps track of my blog and he reads it from time to time.
On hearing this information which was clear and audible like normal conversations, I was convinced that somewhere in a nook and corner of the Himalayas, Shri Mahavatar Babaji must have asked someone to give him a laptop and he was browsing my blog and had reached the new post published on 31.1.14. regarding my visit to Dakshineshwar. As a blessing and a kind gesture, he messaged me telepathically to inform me that I am being watched and protected by my Divine Father.
Now regarding that unique sound- my mind shifted to my right ear where the sharp sound was lingering which was similar to Om but it was not what I had heard ever before. I was slightly puzzled and very desperately curious to know after all what that was and why it had appeared in the first place. Was this sound an indicator and a tip off that the mind of Shri Mahavatar Babaji was about to relay something to me or was it an auspicious sign of something else?
After a few seconds of wonderment, I got to experience another moment of stupefaction when I began to hear this sacred information from Him,
“The unique sound that you just heard is a sound which is higher than the wavelength of Om. It will give you profound and very deep peace. The uninterrupted peace will last for three continuous days.”
I thought for a moment that so far Babaji never told me that there was any sound whose wave length was far higher and sharper than Om. I wondered if anybody else knew apart from very advanced yogis. I was later told that only one or two very highly evolved classical singers are familiar with this sound. Knowing this, my mind came to rest finally.
I stayed in that state for three days, totally meditative and in unbreakable peace. I have been hearing this special sound intermittently and at irregular junctures which puts me in a very peaceful state of mind all of a sudden, a state which is indescribable. I dive deep inside the waters of a calm river whose water is so cool and restful that it is very hard to break that silence and open my eyes again to see visuals that my eyes hold of outside world.
Is it a reward that Babaji gave me as my Guru for his work that I do?
Maybe, yes.
If so, then it was a divine blessing. I write all my posts only when there is an advent of inspiration from the world of the saints who again act as and when they are in inspiration from God. Their mutual co-ordination and co-operation through intuition becomes one divine world and all have the same sankalpa or common thought for the welfare of everybody. With continuous gratitude and prostration in my heart throughout the day, I thank them. That is all I can do for the kindness that has been bestowed on me for abundant peace and the unique divine sound which is so rare.
No matter how much a devotee pays respect or shows gratitude for such huge benign acts of the sacred Masters, it will always be less and insufficient because we cannot reciprocate accordingly for the kind gestures that they do for us by taking us to God’s world where such good omens and auspiciousness awaits us.
