Moola Mantra.

OM SAT-CHIT-ANANDA PARABRAHMA
PURUSHOTHAMA PARAMATMA
SRI BHAGAVATI SAMETHA
SRI BHAGAVATE NAMAHA

Translation below...

OM :
OM has got 100 different meanings. It is said- in the beginning was the Supreme word and the word created every thing. That word is OM. If you are meditating in silence deeply, you can hear the sound OM within. The whole creation emerged from the sound OM. It is the primordial sound or the Universal sound by which the whole universe vibrates. OM also means inviting the higher energy. This divine sound has the power to create, sustain and destroy, giving life and movement to all that exist.


SAT-CHIT-ANANDA :
SAT means, all penetrating existence that is formless, shapeless, omnipresent, attribute less, and quality less aspect of the Universe. It is the Un manifest. It is experienced as emptiness of the Universe. We could say it is the body of the Universe that is static. Every thing that has a form and that can be sensed, evolved out of this Un manifest. It is so subtle that it is beyond all perceptions. It can only be seen when it has become gross and has taken form. We are in the Universe and the Universe is in us. We are the effect and Universe is the cause and the cause manifests itself as the effect.

CHIT is the Pure Consciousness of the Universe that is infinite, omni-present manifesting power of the Universe. Out of this is evolved everything that we call Dynamic energy or force. It can manifest in any form or shape. It is the consciousness manifesting as motion, as gravitation, as magnetism, etc. It is also manifesting as the actions of the body, as thought force. It is the Supreme Spirit.

ANANDA means bliss, love and friendship nature of the Universe. When you experience either the Supreme Energy in this Creation (SAT) and become one with the Existence or experience the aspect of Pure Consciousness (CHIT), you enter into a state of Divine Bliss and eternal happiness (ANANDA). This is the primordial characteristic of the Universe, which is the greatest and most profound state of ecstasy that you can ever experience when you relate with your higher Consciousness.

PARABRAHMA is the Supreme Being in his Absolute aspect; one who is beyond space and time. It is the essence of the Universe that is with form and without form. It is the Supreme creator.

PURUSHOTHAMA has got different meanings. Purusha means soul and Uthama means the supreme; the Supreme spirit. It also means the supreme energy of force guiding us from the highest world. Purusha also means Man, and PURUSHOTHAMA is the energy that incarnates as an Avatar to help and guide Mankind and relate closely to the beloved Creation.

PARAMATMA means the supreme inner energy that is immanent in every creature and in all beings, living and non-living. It's the indweller or the Antaryamin who resides formless or in any form desired. It's the force that can come to you whenever you want and wherever you want to guide and help you.

SRI BHAGAVATI is the female aspect, which is characterized as the Supreme Intelligence in action, the Power (The Shakti). It is referred to the Mother Earth (Divine Mother) aspect of the creation.

SAMETHA means together or in communion with

SRI BHAGAVATE is the Male aspect of the Creation, which is unchangeable and permanent.

NAMAHA is salutations or prostrations to the Universe that is OM and also has the qualities of SAT-CHIT-ANANDA, that is omnipresent, unchangeable and changeable at the same time, the supreme spirit in a human form and formless, the indweller that can guide and help in the feminine and masculine forms with the supreme intelligence. I seek your presence and guidance all the time.

Aloha everyone! I hope you all had wonderful holidays. Everything OK in Taiwan Leiven after the Earthquake. We had a small one here as well. I have had a couple amazing experiences recently. U2 held their last concert here in Honolulu to a packed house at Aloha Stadium. During the concert Bono from U2 started talking about the organization he started called One. Several songs were on this theme and during these songs I got an immediate visual of Bhagavan, Amma, Christ and Buddha above the stadium pouring Deeksha into those in attendance. As the visual started Deeksha started pouring through me in a massive and powerful way. It was totally joyful and electric and left me in tears of joy. It was so profound and loving. I am so grateful for Bhagavan and Amma I cannot even begin to tell you. I am not sure if any of you have tried the process that Radakrishna sent out about touching the hands and feet of any picture of Amma and Bhagavan and then asking for a Oneness blessing from them. If you have not....Do it!!!! The transmission of energy is intense and loving. We had Raniji out to Hawaii the first part of December and it was an overwhelming success. She met with indigenous people on all the islands and we had over 100 people at a one night event here on Maui. We also had well over 50 attendees to an all day workshop that she held the next day. Those are huge numbers for Maui!!! During one of the meetings with the indigenous people, Rani did a ceremony using one of Bhagavans pictures. The next day there was a huge amount of ash that simply appeared on the picture. It was a true miracle. I feel like I am going on and on ; ) I had another funny experience the other day. I was driving and had a truck completely and totally pull out in front of me the other day. It was to the point that I had to slam on my brakes and swerve out of the way to avoid smashing into them. I had zero negative charge, I simply smiled and even laughed when I was safely stopped on the shoulder of the road. It was so cool, but so strange. In the past curse words and the middle finger would have been employed in full force. I hope I am not losing my survival instincts ; ) Other than that life is going well. Believe it or not while I was in India I developed a deep connection over the Internet with a beautiful girl here on Maui. We have been inseparable ever since so that is very cool. I am learning with Bhagavan's help to experience her fully. When I am able to do that it is a beautiful experience no matter what the situation. When I am not and get caught up in it, it is not so beautiful. I hope all is well with you guys. I love reading your experiences. We have had many visiting Deeksha givers here to Maui over the past month or so. Which one of you will be first from our class ; ) Namaste to you all!!!

Came across this set of quotes from George Bush on the Doonesbury website today:
http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/index.html

"I believe strongly in the decisions I have made....Laura and I are sustained by the prayers of millions of people....The load is not heavy....This is a joyful experience."


hmmmmm...
Has someone been secretly giving him deeksha????

Prana Kriya Meditation

As Forrest requested, below is the Prana Kriya meditation that i am following. I'm not certain if it's exactly as Sujayji taught us, so if anyone has any corrections or questions, please let me know or share with the group.

If you would like to visualize the chakras and don't remember what color, how many petals the lotus of each one has, the importance of each one, etc., a good summary is on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakra

The meditation is guided by Krishnaraji's singing on a track titled "Opens the Wings of Freedom" from the Chakra Dhyana album by Kosmic Music.

Mudras
There are 3 mudras, or hand positions. For all 3, the thumb and forefinger are touching, the palm faces upwards, and the other three fingers are relaxed and extend outward.

Prana Kriya 1 is with tip of forefinger touching tip of thumb and is used when meditating on the 1st and 2nd Chakras.
Prana Kriya 2 is with tip of forefinger touching the top joint line of thumb and is used when meditating on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Chakras.
Prana Kriya 3 is with tip of forefinger touching bottom joint line of thumb and is used when meditating on the 6th and 7th Chakras.

Breathing
However many counts you inhale, hold the breath for the same number counts and then exhale for twice the number of counts you inhaled. Maintain this breath ratio throughout the entire meditation until you lie down to rest.

Meditation
At the beginning, have hands in Prana Kriya 1 and focus on breathing.

After the 3 minutes of chanting at the beginning, as the name of the 1st Chakra, "Aum...Muladhara", is spoken, i focus on that chakra opening. Then, for the next 2-1/2 minutes, the sound of the 1st Chakra, "Lang", is repeated. During this time, i focus on the point of contact at each thumb and forefinger.

Next, "Aum...Kundalini Aruhailum" (or something that sounds like that) is chanted. At this time, my focus goes back to the 1st Chakra, and i experience the kundalini rising from the 1st Chakra all the way to the Crown Chakra. "Kundalini Aruhailum" continues to sound for 1 minute, and i continue to experience this energy rising.

Then, the name of the 2nd chakra is spoken, and i repeat the above steps for the 2nd Chakra and so on for each following chakra. I change mudras at Chakra 3 to Prana Kriya 2 and then at Chakra 6 to Prana Kriya 3.

At the end of the "Kundalini Aruhailum" chant for the 7th Chakra, the names of each chakra are chanted, one immediately after another, starting with the 1st Chakra. When the name of the 1st Chakra is heard, i experience that chakra opening and the kundalini slowly rising from the 1st Chakra and up to the 2nd Chakra. When the name of the 2nd Chakra is heard, i experience that chakra opening and the kundalini continuing to slowly rise up to the 3rd Chakra and so on, all the way up to the 7th Chakra.

After the 7th Chakra is spoken, "Aum...Kundalini Aruhailum" is again chanted and more chanting follows. During this time, with each inhale, i experience the kundalini pulsating from the 1st Chakra all the way up to the 7th Chakra. While i hold my breath, i experience Grace pouring down through my 7th Chakra and merging with the kundalini, and, with each exhale, i experience all of that flowing into every cell of my being.

The chanting continues for 4-1/2 minutes. When "Shanti, shanti, shanti" is then chanted, i chant as well. For the remainder of the 13 minutes of music, lie down, rest, and enjoy!

Sajan,

I hope that your mother passed in peace and that you and your family have found even more strength and love together.

It's wonderful to read about the deeksha events at your place and in Ubud, and it's exciting to know about the article in the Bali Times. I tried to do a search on the Bali Times website, but could not find the interview. I did notice that the most recent interview the website has posted is from Dec 07, so perhaps they have not yet updated. Do you have a link to the interview and can you send one when it does go online?

Hearing more about your state also made me smile...i feel this new acceptance strongly as well...

Namaste My Brothers,

Two weekends back i had a quick trip to Shanghai for the wedding of one of my best friends from my university days and am finally recovering enough from the build-up of everything in the wake of all my recent travels to post again.

This is going to end up being a rather huge post, but there’s a lot I’d like to share, so here i go…

It's great to get updates on how people are doing, and I’d like to shoot back a few quick questions for everyone who’s had a chance to share.

Rocco, how are things going at the airport? More smiling travelers, i hope?

Dan, are you continuing to give much deeksha and is your process continuing to deepen as well?

No worries about preaching, Forrest. It's beautiful what you shared about your process, and it's great to be reminded of the importance of each one of us being able to completely accept where we are and also the importance of accepting when others aren’t willing to directly receive the blessings of Grace. I think another thing for us to remember is that it is not our Grace that they are refusing, and so it is not us that that they are rejecting…They are simply not willing or not able to connect to what is True (or to what is Love or to what is Present), and, for whatever reasons, that is the place where they are meant to be at that time. When talking about deeksha, i have found great support in asking The Presence to speak through me, but i’ll write more about that below.

Bill, are you getting the opportunity to give much deeksha? How is the "coming of the new" progressing?

Sajan, even though you feel that your state has stepped down, are you still able to connect to The Presence the way we did so strongly in GC? Have the sensations you experience while giving deeksha continued to become more powerful, or have they abated somewhat as well? Are many people still coming for deeksha at your place?

For me, the most significant change from life before GC is still that connection to The Presence, both the ease of invoking it as well as the naturally rising propensity for making the invocation. Everything else has its foundation on top of that, and, without it, i imagine all else would collapse. And thus my blessing so far has been to be able to look to make that connection, to have the thought to make that connection come to me in any number of different circumstances...just walking down the street, taking a shower, eating, meditating, writing, while i do yoga...

But especially when i'm talking to people. Whenever a quick request is made to The Presence to speak through me, i find that the connection to whomever i am talking to is immediately deepened. It's not me they're connecting to - it's The Presence that has come to their subconscious awareness that they are connecting to, and I find that it not only guides my voice but also the language of my entire body as well…and i am simply experiencing the blessing of watching.

As this thought to make the connection occurs more often, it builds on itself and deepens, but there have been a few other things that have helped for me as well…

I find myself giving smarana deeksha quite often. Because my mother isn't completely open yet to the nature of the blessings i have received, she has not asked me for deeksha, so i am giving her smarana deeksha about once a week. Once a week I also give smarana deeksha to many of my friends and relatives around the world who i feel need it, and these intention deekshas have been very beautiful connections to The Presence.

With inspiration from Patrick (who first told me about doing it on his flight) and also partly following Rocco's lead, i have given intention deeksha to people en masse while on planes or taking the subway. In addition to being a beautiful way to pass time, smarana deeksha helps me to reinforce connections to everything and everyone around…and of course negates any charge that might arise from some old lady elbowing me in the gut as she jostles for position to get out the train…

I also had a quite powerful experience about 3 weeks ago that was a definite continuation of The Process for me and a deeper version of what i wrote about in the last post, as the issue involved is a very deep issue for me.

I was at home one night with my mom (we live together), who had just finished cooking a load of delicious dishes earlier that day. While i was in the kitchen heating everything up, my mom called out a few requests to me, and i felt a quick flush of frustration at another set of demands from her. To this, i asked myself, "Why are you reacting so selfishly and horribly? Does your mother not do so much for you, care so much for you, love you so much?" And i found myself falling into the old habit of turning away from that bit of darkness inside and quickly smiling again as i readied for a feast and enjoyed a relaxing night at home with my mom.

I awoke the next morning at about 4 AM, completely nauseous, and within a few minutes was vomiting out what was left of dinner from the night before. After passing out again, i woke around 9, horribly sick with fever, weakness, and an ache that raged through my entire body.

My mom joked with me that she had poisoned me, but later that afternoon, i would realize that there was some truth to her jest. When she went out to run some errands, i asked Bhagavan to show me if there was something i needed to see that had made me so sick and so suddenly so. And he helped me to see that, although my mother of course never intended to poison me, because of my own unresolved issues, i, in some way, took what my mom had gifted me as poison.

As much as part of me does love my mother very much and appreciates what she does for me, i saw how another part of me fears being held so tightly by my mother that neither of us can be truly free. Though i had seen this fear before, this time i would be shown more, and i asked Bhagavan and The Presence to let me experience it all...I saw how much i depend on her for so many things - she cooks for me, cleans for me, and takes care of everything at home - and how useless part of me feels at having to rely on someone else for all this. I saw how, at the same time, i was afraid of not having someone to take care of me. And i saw how much i hated myself for all these fears and weaknesses and for not being able to truly and fully accept the love and care that my mother gives me.

As i condemned myself in guilt and self-loathing, i found myself screaming and crying and pounding my bed as all of this enveloped me. I continued to pray to Bhagavan and to The Presence to let me completely take in and endure the darkness inside, to help me face these fears and weaknesses, to give me strength, and to allow myself to accept What Is. As I reached the depths of all this darkness, as the experience of it completely enveloped me, The Divine lovingly smiled at me for opening to the Truth and instantaneously blessed me with the experience of being able to embrace It all with clarity and joy, as He had so many times before in GC. As we have all been shown and experienced, what we perceive as darkness is simply one aspect of What Is, and our liberation comes from complete clarity about It and then completely accepting It.

I awoke the next morning still a bit low in energy, but the sickness had completely passed otherwise, and i simply gave thanks for a beautiful (if strenuous!) experience and prayed that i will remain open to seeing, accepting, and experiencing.

One last thing to share that has worked very well for me has been prana kriya. Starting from about a week ago, i have been practicing it every morning, and it has been phenomenal.

The experiences of energy during the practice have been very powerful. While breathing and focusing attention on the connection between thumbs and forefingers in each mudra, i can feel each point of contact expand into a glowing ball, sometimes shooting energy all the way through my body into the chakras; and during the stage of kundalini rising for each chakra - so, so much joy…And not only that, but prana kriya has definitely helped me to be more aware of and attuned to The Presence throughout each day.

Oddly, i didn’t take very good notes on Sujayji's prana kriya instructions, so if someone does have detailed instructions, please let me know if you wouldn’t mind sharing them. I’d also be happy to share with anyone who wants to follow the procedure as i remember it, so if anyone wants that, just let me know.

OK - this has definitely gone on for long enough. Hope at least some of it is helpful for someone and to hear back from ya’ll soon!

Dear Ones,

It's been a little over three weeks now since leaving GC - how is everyone's state?

I find that i remain free of many things that used to produce charged reactions, but in the last few days, i received an insight into how perhaps many people gradually lose touch with this state, so i want to share that with all of you.

I have found that it is in fact quite easy to fully experience what we used to think of as "negative" emotions and reactions when they do come up. Something triggers a charge, i realize it, and then, when i'm able to focus on it, it's almost as if an instantaneous series of events happens from there:
1. A connection is made to The Presence.
2. The emotion or reaction completely fills me.
3. Whatever conditioning it was that caused the charge completely floods out as well.
4. Joy.

As long as the focus is first there, the above steps happen within one little breath.

However, there is also another reaction that can happen.
Because my general state remains quite high, i find myself sometimes just easily turning away from the charge that comes up. This turning away is how i used to resolve my issues before, and, when this happens, although i am still able to return quickly to a good state, i sense that a small charge is left as a result of avoiding both the emotion and the issue.


Look forward to hearing what the rest of ya'll might have to share as well.

Srini,

I take it you're back in the US by now...How did things go with the family in Chennai?

Howdy folks!

Patrick's already spouted off on what i'm going to update, so i'll trim it.
For those who missed Patrick's thoughts, he posted as a comment under my first post:
http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36564808&postID=116269998528741376

and Forrest put an update there as well...


Now, to my take on the Tony Robbins event...
As Patrick raved - what an amazing thing! 64 deeksha givers helping to bring Bhagavan's grace to 3,500 people in one place. In spite of the fact that the deekshas were given without mention, what Tony did each time was to ask the audience to connect to gratitude, to some greater force that might be guiding them, to a sense of Oneness with everything, to invoke The Presence...and, boy, did some invoking get done...

At one point, he was doing some 1-on-1 work with this woman in the audience who has having a minor spasm. After settling her down a bit, he just reached out and gave her deeksha.
The woman was transformed - instantly.

In a couple of other instances, he teased the crowd, "Will you use these techniques you've learned here when you go back to your lives? Would Tony have been so tricky as to have secretly planted triggers 3 times over the weekend to ensure that you do?"

There were powerful moments of experiencing the manifestation of Bhagavan's vision, as if in a trailer for the end of time, when past and future truly become meaningless for all of humanity.

Howdy brothers...

It's been just over a week now since getting back to Taipei from India, and, though the time has flown by, i feel very anchored and it oddly seems as if i've been back for a long time already.

Perhaps it was that so many things have happened in this week and that so many more moments of each day than ever before are lit by the radiance of connectedness and pure experience.

I arrived in Taipei Wednesday night October 25 and spent all that evening with my mother, sharing what i could of my experiences with her. As she is my mother, and as we are very close, i probably gushed out a bit more than what she was prepared and able to take in. As i was rather excited, it probably came out a bit more haphazardly than was digestible for her.

So i took it as a reminder and a little teaching in how to share about all the experiences in GC.

Still, it was great to be back home again and to be with my mother, who does love and care for me so much. I know there are still many lessons for me to learn in how to truly receive and return all she gives me, as this week has already brought several, each a new revelation and a new point of gratitude.

With Amira, my dear friend and the founder of our center in Taipei, getting ready to leave for GC and all the preparation needed to finalize the trip for the groups she is taking to GC in November, the next day was a full day at the center and then some. It started with catching up with two of my colleagues (who are also deeksha givers) and with giving them deeksha, and it ended with giving deeksha along with Amira and 2 other givers to the nearly 40 people who attended that night.

That weekend, from 10 AM until 7PM each day, was the last 2 days of Amira's preparation course for the group the center will bring to GC for their process starting Nov 5...30 students who got lots of deeksha over the course of those 2 days!

I had a chance to share with the class about my experiences, and i did remember the lesson learned from my first attempt with my mom. This time, i just let the presence guide. By the time i got up to talk, the presence had turned all nervousness into excitement and joy.and everything just flowed out.

I do remember talking about now having an intimate relationship to God, about how much it will help their process that they will have a chance to repeat some of the exercises and meditations, and answering some questions...but i don't really remember details. Mostly, i just remember words coming out of my mouth as i sat looking at all these faces staring at me with big, open eyes, smiling and laughing...and that's when i knew for certain that it wasn't just me talking!

The two main meditations over the weekend were to see fundamental childhood decisions (FCD) and to connect with God. For each, i, along with 3 other deeksha givers, gave intention deeksha and occasional hands-on deeksha as needed while Amira lead the meditations. In the FCD meditation, i strongly felt Amma's presence coming through me, to the point where i found myself calling out, "Amma, Amma, Amma..." Lots of crying - a very beautiful experience to be a part of and to be able to help manifest for others.

I was on schedule to give deeksha again at the center on Wednesday Nov 01 after an immensely powerful chakra meditation with about 25 people. What i've found in all these various deeksha givings is that, so far, i have not had any inkling about how each receiver feels. Sometimes the deeksha energy flowing through me makes me laugh, sometimes it makes me moan - it always surges through me like a powerful current of joy, so i do ask Amma and Bhagavan to help me to keep it all as quiet as possible and to keep the physical convulsions as mild as can be - but no feedback as of yet, and no real differences in the feeling of the energy flowing through.


Would be curious to hear what everyone else experiences...
