Spiritual Rebirth
Spiritual Rebirth Ceremony (Initiation ceremony) of new comers are arranged every first Friday of each month. In every important function our divine master arrives at the right time and he changes the atmosphere very suddenly. After make the fully fresh and positive atmosphere for the Initiation ceremony Guruji give instructions to start the initiation processes for the new disciples. During the Maha - Satsang on last December, Yogiraj described about the experience and importance of the initiation process (Deeksha) or the second birth of a human being.
When a soul (Consciousness) attains equal amount of Punya (Blessing) and Pap (Sin) after its many previous births in different forms, that time a soul can get a chance to birth again as a human being. In this human life, the consciousness (Soul) could achieve its final goal - ‘mukthi’ (Salvation). Because of this reason every soul with equal Punya and Pap will find its appropriate space in the universe to rebirth again. The vibration of consciousness attract the same frequency of other souls, due to this continuous vibration will make a link with other souls and find out his future Mother. Finally this connection make a path to enter the soul (Consciousness) into the Mother’s womb which have the same frequency and many other similarities. This consciousness will grow as a baby and birth after 9 months. This process will called the physical birth or 1st birth of a person.
The second birth is completely in a new different dimension. The second birth can only be analyze through spiritual aspects. Our Guruji Yogiraj many times explained and taught us that a person who make his mind happy during any activity and makes other minds also happy, this is called Punya (Blessing). Likewise a person who makes his own mind unhappy or makes others minds unhappy, this is referred as a Pap (Sin). Each and every human being make this Punya and Pap during his life cycle, after a certain period (this will varying on time, space and individual) of life time someone can reach a critical stage of karma, in this stage he have same amount of Punya and Pap. This is the movement where he will get a chance to meet his guru - A self realized master. During this very meeting , self realized Guru will give him a second birth and a new spiritual life.
The initiation process is like a surgery, this could make rebirth person life more happy and beautiful. A real Guru can opens doors of the his mind and energy chakras of his spiritual body. During this process guru absorb some amount of Pap from the new disciple’s aura , this surgery will clean the aura and make balanced energy level in his entire body. After this rebirth he can get a chance to increase the amount of Punya by doing the ‘kriya’ (Pranayogakriaya) with guruji's direction.
One soul is bounded with Punya and Pap (called Sanjitha Karma). All activity that we are done and doing makes deposit to sanjitha karma. Sanjitha karma directly linked to 7 generations beyond (father, mother and their six generations behind). Due to this link we can get abilities and disabilities. The goodness from our previous birth are become abilities and sin become disabilities.
After a physical birth we have a choice to do either goodness or sin. If we don’t clean our sin by using cosmic energy, this all bad ability will transferred to next generation. So both abilities and disabilities also transferred to next generation. After 2nd rebirth the energy body will more power full than previous birth ,due to this reason we can avoid to transfer the disabilities to next generation with the help of a Guru. After the development of a power full aura by a Guru, he can get a chance to eliminate all his disabilities and he can more clarify his good abilities. The proper utilization of cosmic energy we can remove all the limitations from our root. Receiving more and more cosmic energy from a refined soul (Guru) will break all his generic bonds. His past seven generations and seven future generations will be cleared from all the generic bonds. If someone clears his generic bonds that means he is travelling towards to salvation. So refined soul with abundant energy is the only way for a person to achieve his salvation.
In physical birth a human can attain his knowledge only through his 5 senses (sound, sight, touch, smell, taste). But after the second birth a human being can receive high level knowledge through his Guru’s energy body. Expansion of a human consciousness will leads to a new dimension of life experience through a self realized Master. Everyone can receive this knowledge from Guru’s energy body through Conversation, Self meditation, Satsang, and Co-operation. This knowledge through experience will develop our extra sensory perfection skills. It also increases the ability of our 5 senses and mind.
In this universe every soul is in a search to conquer the real meaning of its existence by knowingly or unknowingly. The first birth gives limited perception to life. But second rebirth gives a new dimension of understanding. This helps to achieve the ultimate goal of our life.
Why Great Masters are continuously misunderstood and misinterpreted by people?
On the 7th day of our Great Fasting, the satsang was going on with our spiritual master Yogasree Yogiraj. A kid, one of his youngest disciples asked a simple but important question. (It was a big question; I simplified it in my way)
Master, “Our country is blessed with many spiritual masters. All these masters have extra sensory perception skills including you. Many times we have experienced it. But still all the masters facing lot of problems from the people. Every time your words become controversial. All masters facing lot of cases in the court. Why they not use their sixth sense to prevent this?”
After a deep breath Yogiraj explained the answer.
(I am sorry. I am unable to translate Guru’s words. I try many times but my poor language unable to Conway the exact meaning which Yogiraj meant. So I am adding the same question and answer which I read in a book “The Dhammapada: The way of the Buddha – volume 10“ by the great master Osho Rajaneesh.)
Question 2
BELOVED MASTER,
HOW CAN I BECOME THE NEW MAN THAT YOU SPEAK ABOUT?
Bhagwato, Jesus says: Unless you are born again you will not enter into my kingdom of God. Exactly that's what I say to you: Unless you are born again....
There are two births. One is given to you by your parents; that is a physical birth. That is only an opportunity for the second birth. If you think that the first birth is all, you have missed the whole point. The first birth is only a seed. It is of immense value if the second happens; it is of no value at all if you miss the second birth. You have to be twice-born. That's how we have defined the buddhas in the East.
The second birth has to happen within you; it is of consciousness. It is not of your body, it is not even of your mind; it is of awareness.
Ordinarily, the first birth makes you only a machine. You start living in a very superficial way; you don't have any depth, you don't have any soul yet. You eat, you drink, you work, you sleep, but all like a robot. You don't see the beauty of existence -- you can't see it. You don't see the godliness of every moment; it is impossible for you to experience it. It needs a transformation of your whole interiority. It needs a new subjectivity, a new vision, a new perspective.
You see in a certain sense, you hear only in a certain sense. Yes, you hear the words, but the meaning is missed. You read the Bible, the Koran, the Vedas, but just like a parrot. Even parrots are far more intelligent than your so-called pundits, than your so-called knowledgeable people. You go on repeating like a gramophone record. And you are so egoistic that you can't accept, you can't say, "I don't know."
Jascha Heifetz, the distinguished violinist, was in London where he was scheduled to give a concert. A few hours before curtain time, he noticed that a violin string had broken, so he hurried to a music supply shop for a replacement. He was waited on by a girl who was new to the business.
"I would like to have an 'E' string for my violin," said Heifetz.
"A what?" asked the uncomprehending girl.
"An 'E' string."
"Sorry, luv," she replied apologetically, "but ye will have to pick it out yourself. I can't tell the he's from the she's!"
People are very reluctant to accept the fact that they don't know. They try in every possible way to manage a facade that they know. This is the greatest mistake in life. You are not yet born, but if you think you are already born, if you think you have already attained to life, then this whole opportunity is going to be lost. It will go down the drain.
And you can learn great words; they are available. You can learn them so much so that if you meet Jesus you may repeat his words better than he can do it himself because you have been repeating them for so long. You may defeat him; in a competition he may not be able to survive at all. Some stupid priest may win the competition because he will be just repeating exactly, word for word. Jesus cannot do that; that is impossible. He has to be spontaneous. He will respond to the situation. He may say some new things -- because twenty centuries have passed. How can he go on saying the same old things? Impossible.
That's why the people who believe that they know are the most ignorant in the world. To be ignorant is not that bad, but to believe that you know, without knowing, is very dangerous.
It seems that talking parrots had become quite fashionable. Understandably, Mulla Nasruddin's wife decided she must have one for herself. However, every store she went to had sold out of parrots. Finally she found a shop that had one left. "But," the owner cautioned, "this bird was previously owned by a madam in a whorehouse and its language may be quite salty. Perhaps if you keep him covered for a week, he will forget what he has seen and heard."
Mrs. Nasruddin purchased the bird and did as the shopkeeper bid. At long last the week was over and the bird was finally uncovered. He first blinked his eyes and then after adjusting to the light looked around and said, "Hmm... pretty new house. Hmm... pretty new madam. Hmm... pretty new girls too."
Just then Mulla Nasruddin walked in. The bird took one look at him and said, "Ah, shit! Same old customers. Hi, Mulla!"
Yes, even parrots are more spontaneous than your pundits. You go on repeating. Your parents believed that they lived and their parents believed that they lived, and they have given you the idea that you are alive. You are not alive, you are only vegetating. To be alive means to be awakened.
Bhagwato, when I say the new man, I mean the conscious man. Humanity cannot be saved if the conscious man does not arrive. In the past it was not so necessary, but now it is absolutely necessary, it is a must. If the new man does not arrive on the earth, if more and more people are not going to become conscious, alert, awake, then this earth is doomed. Its fate is in the hand of the stupid politicians, and now they have immense power of destruction, such as they never had before. That is something new. Just five years ago they had so much power that they could have killed every single human being seven times -- although you don't need to kill any human being seven times, once is enough. We had five years ago so much atomic energy -- atom bombs, hydrogen bombs -- that we could have destroyed this earth seven times. And within five years we have really progressed -- now it is seven hundred times! We can destroy seven hundred earths like this earth, and we go on piling up.... And any moment, any mad politician can trigger the process of self-destruction.
The coming twenty years are going to be the most dangerous in the whole history of humanity; it has never been so dangerous -- we are sitting on a volcano. Only more consciousness, more alertness can save it; there is no other way. We have to de-automatize man. The society automatizes you. It creates efficient machines, not human beings.
My effort here is to de-automatize you. I am doing something absolutely antisocial. The society makes you a machine and my effort is to undo it. I would like this fire to spread and reach to all the nooks and corners of the earth, to help as many people as possible to be conscious. If in a great quantity consciousness grows on the earth, there is a possibility, a hope, we can save humanity yet. All is not lost, but time is running short. Everything is being controlled by politicians and by computers, and both are dangerous. Politicians are mad. It is impossible to be a politician if you are not mad enough. You have to be absolutely insane, because only insane people are power-obsessed.
A sane person lives life joyously; he is not power-obsessed. He may be interested in music, in singing, in dancing, but he is not interested in dominating anybody. He may be interested in becoming a master of himself, but he is not interested in becoming a master of others.
Politicians are insane people. History is enough proof. And now computers are dominating.
You know the saying: To err is human.... That is true, but if you really want to create a great mess, human beings are not enough -- you need computers. Now machines and mad people are dominating the whole world. We have to change the very foundation. That's what I mean by a new man.
A new man means more conscious, more loving, more creative. This whole process is possible through being more meditative. Become more meditative, silent, still. Experience yourself deeply. In that experience, a fragrance will be released through you. And if many many people become meditators, the earth can be full of a new perfume.

So I am adding the same question and answer which I read in a book “The Dhammapada: The way of the Buddha – volume 10“ by the great master Osho Rajaneesh.)
BELOVED MASTER,
WHY ARE YOU BEING CONTINUOUSLY MISUNDERSTOOD AND MISINTERPRETED BY PEOPLE?
Rajesh, it is absolutely inevitable, it is unavoidable. It has to be so. It is part of the destiny of those who speak the truth. They are bound to be misunderstood, misinterpreted. If they were not misunderstood, not misinterpreted, that would be a miracle. It has not happened up to now and there is no hope that it is ever going to happen.
Buddhas have always been misunderstood for the simple reason that they speak from a totally different vision which is not available to the masses. They speak from a totally different experience. Their experience is such that it cannot be expressed through words, yet they try to express it through words -- they try to do the impossible. Saying it through words creates trouble. They use words in their own way, they give the words their own color, but when those words reach you they have lost all the meaning that was given by the awakened ones. Immediately you interpret them, you translate them into your experience.
Buddhas speak from sunlit peaks and you live in dark valleys. They talk about light and you have never seen light. They talk about eyes and you have not even dreamed about eyes. They talk about eternity and all that you know is time; all that you know is temporary and they talk of that which never changes, which is always the same, which abides. It is unbridgeable, the gap. Unless you become also conscious it remains unbridgeable.
Hence only a few disciples, slowly slowly, attain to the meaning of the masters. Very slowly a few people become awakened, they come out of their sleep. It is arduous, too, because all that you know about your life is your sleep and your dreams. Leaving your dreams and your life behind is hard. It is demolishing your whole past. It is entering into such an unknown territory and without maps -- one feels scared.
Only disciples can understand; the masses cannot understand. The masses have every investment in not understanding. Even if there is some possibility of understanding they will avoid that possibility. They will not come close to the buddhas. They will try in every possible way to create more and more barriers. They will create rumors, all kinds of rumors. They will surround the buddhas with so much smoke of their own creation that the buddhas become almost invisible to them. They don't want to listen -- it hurts. Their whole life is rooted in lies and the truth hurts, it shatters.
And the masses are vast, the blind people are millions. The people with eyes are rare, few and far between. Only once in a while comes a Zarathustra, a Lao Tzu, a Jesus, a Moses, a Buddha. They are doing something unimaginable. They are trying to explain light to the millions who are blind. The blind people can hear the word 'light', but they cannot understand it -- or they will understand it in their own way, whatsoever is their idea, opinion about light. And they are not only blind; they have thousands of opinions. They have much knowledge -- without knowing anything at all. They are full of scriptures. They hide their blindness behind scriptures. They can quote scriptures, they can argue. They are clever and skillful in argument.
In fact, truth cannot be argued about. Either you know it or you don't. Truth cannot be proved either; either you know it or you don't. Knowing is all that is possible, or not-knowing; there is no way to prove it.
Once it happened:
A blind man was brought to Gautama the Buddha. He was a logician, a philosopher, very argumentative. He had been arguing with the village that there is no light, "and you are all blind, just as I am blind. I know it and you don't know it, that's the only difference." He was saying this to people who had eyes! And he was so clever in argument that the villagers were at a loss what to do with this man.
He was asking them, "Bring your light. Let me taste it or smell it or touch it. Only then will I believe."
Now, light cannot be touched, cannot be tasted, cannot be smelled. You cannot hear it. And these were the four senses available to the blind man. Then he would laugh in victory. He would say, "Look! There is no light. Otherwise, give me the proofs!"
When Buddha came to the village, the villagers thought it would be good: "Let us take this man to Buddha."
They brought the man to Buddha. Buddha listened to the whole story and then he said, "He does not need me. I also work with blind people, but of a different kind -- spiritually blind people. I heal them, I cure them. But this is physical blindness. You take him to a physician. You take him to my personal physician."
He had a personal physician a king had given him. The greatest physician of those days, Jivaka, was given to Buddha as a gift to take care of his body. "You take him to Jivaka, and I am certain that he will be able to do something. He needs a physician; he does not need great philosophy about light. Talking about light is just stupid. And if you argue with him, he is going to win. He can prove that there is no light."
Remember, to prove that there is no God is very easy; to prove that there is God is impossible. To prove the negative is easy because all logic tends to be negative. To prove the positive is not possible; logic has no opening towards the positive. Hence the atheist is more argumentative and the theist feels almost defeated. He cannot prove the existence of God or the soul.
Buddha said, "You take him to Jivaka." Jivaka cured his eyes. Within six months the man was able to see. He came dancing with many flowers and fruits as a present to Buddha. He fell at his feet and he said, "If you had not been there I would have argued my whole life against light -- and light is! Now I know!"
Buddha said, "Can you prove it? Where is light? I would like to taste it and touch it and smell it!"
And the blind man -- the ex-blind man -- said, "That is impossible. Now I know it can only be seen; there is no other way to approach it. Excuse me, I am sorry. I was blind, utterly blind, and in my blindness I was saying things. I was arguing against something which exists and is the most beautiful experience of life. If you were not there I would have argued my whole life against something which is, and I would have remained a blind man. And you did well that you did not say a single word about light; otherwise, I had come prepared, fully prepared to argue with you, and I know now, even you would not have been able to prove it. But your insight is deep: you could see that I didn't need any proofs; I needed some medicine. I didn't need philosophy, I needed a physician. You directed me to the right person. I am immensely grateful."
And the man never left Buddha. He said, "What you have done to my physical eyes, now do to my spiritual eyes too."
He became a disciple, he became a sannyasin.
To be a disciple means to be ready to be operated on. It is a surgery, a very internal surgery: surgery in the very deepest core of your being. Only then can you understand me, what I am saying to you.
But the masses are not ready. And don't be worried about them, Rajesh. That is none of our business. If they misunderstand, for us it does not matter. If they misunderstand, they miss something. If they misinterpret, it is their loss. Try to help them to come closer to me, but don't argue with them.
I am a physician, I am not a philosopher. My work here is that of a surgeon, not that of a teacher. The master is always a surgeon. He cuts away all that is false in you, chunk by chunk. Slowly slowly, he demolishes the whole edifice of your falsehood. And then what is left behind is your truth, is your being. When you have experienced it, only then will you be able to understand what is being conveyed to you through words, through silence, through communion.
I am trying every possible way to reach to you, but I can reach you only if you are open to me. I cannot reach to the masses; that is not possible in the very nature of things.
To be continued...

Mahasamadhi of Paramahansa Yogananda
On March 7, 1952, the great guru entered mahasamadhi, a God‑illumined master’s conscious exit from the body at the time of physical death. He had just finished giving a short speech at a banquet honoring India’s ambassador to the United States, Dr. Binay R. Sen, at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.
His passing was marked by an extraordinary phenomenon. A notarized statement signed by the Director of Forest Lawn Memorial‑Park testified: “No physical disintegration was visible in his body even twenty days after death....This state of perfect preservation of a body is, so far as we know from mortuary annals, an unparalleled one....Yogananda's body was apparently in a phenomenal state of immutability.”
In years past, Paramahansa Yogananda's guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar, had referred to him as an incarnation of divine love. Later, his disciple and first spiritual successor, Rajarsi Janakananda, fittingly bestowed on him the title of Premavatar or “Incarnation of Divine Love.”

First Meeting with Sadguru Yogasree Yogiraj
In my childhood,I don’t accept any worship done by elders and rituals. Because all these things are not satisfied my strategic thinking. I was always doubtful that God is real or it just a belief. My whole life experiences are to be concluding, I found that I cannot see, smell, touch, and experience God. As everyone say, if god is protecting as, then why we give him offerings? Our parents are protecting us but we never give them any offerings. Most of them are believing in god but nobody experienced it. Like this a lot of doubts always I carried out by me. When I am asking these questions to elders, they are not able to answer properly. These never ending doubts always made them angry. All this bitter experiences made me an atheist.
Till 26 years all these doubts never answered. So I hate spirituality and believing God. But I was always discussing my assumptions and doubts to friends and colleagues. These discussions are always makes never ending debates. But never get a proper answer which satisfies my strategic thinking.
I have a friend named robin. He always claim that he is having some spiritual experiences. He always telling me, I need to meet his master then all my doubts will be cleared. But I never accepted. I hate spiritual masters also that time. He gave me a CD having meditation and meditational experiences named “spiritual reality”.
That video was very interesting. Through this video I understand that we can only experience the God(cosmic energy), when we meditate with a no thought state of mind. If we meditate like this long time our third eye will be activated and we can have all the spiritual knowledge without anyone’s help. After watching it a strong desire built in my mind to experience it. So I started practicing meditation myself at home how they show practicing meditation in that video. Daily one hour or more practice in a day and this routine will go on around 5 to 6 months. But the mind without thought is never happened. I lost my patience and am completely hopeless. When I meet robin again, that time I requested him that I want to meet his master. Because I thought if someone teach me how to meditate then I can achieve my goal easily. But unfortunately robins don’t know the address of Guru Yogiraj because he changed the location of his class.
After that I try to get another master who knows to teach meditation properly. This leads me to join some famous meditation teaching centers in India. I studied different type of meditation technique in two famous foundations around two years. But I never able to achieve the thoughtless state of mind. One day I met Robin he told me that he had met one of the old disciples of the master again and he collects the new address of the meditation class. I was very excited and happy, after discussion, we planned to go together to the new location of class in next Sunday.
When I go to meet Yogiraj with Robin, I never imagine that, this meeting would change my whole life. Next Sunday we went there, but by mistake we were late. When we reached there meditation class already started. So we are waiting to finish the class for meeting Yogiraj. I examine all the surroundings. Unfortunately that was not a good atmosphere. I don’t like the physical appearance of Guru. One main thing I noticed that after meditation all are touching Guru’s feet. I hate spiritual masters who acting like a human God. I felt he was also one of them. I told robin, I don’t want to do this. Let’s go, I don’t want this type of teaching. That time he said after a long time he got a chance to meet his Master. So wait some time we will speak with him. If you don't like him then you don’t come again. I feel comfortable with that. So I said ok.
After everyone has gone. We got a chance to sit with Yogiraj. Robin introduces me to Yogiraj. Master widely talks about his meditation technique (Pranayogakriya). And also explain the purpose of spirituality in day to day life. All these things are in around 5 minutes. After that Yogiraj asked me to show my hand, and then He put his palm on my right hand without touching it. Then asked me to concentrate on my palm. That time I felt a small vibration and little heat on my hand. After this process Guruji asked me to close my eyes and check is there any thoughts in your mind. The moment I closed my eyes, that was the most peaceful minutes in my life. There were no thoughts. Complete blank and relaxed. I felt some kind of pleasure I never experienced before in my life. That moment itself I touch his feet and requested to make me his disciple. Yogiraj accepted my request with a smile. That was the first and great experience with my spiritual master ‘Sadguru Yogasree Yogiraj’. My master ( Sadguru Yogasree Yogiraj ) cleared all my doubts and taught me the exact purpose of existence.
( From : Pranayogakriya Journal,2011 )
THE GREAT GURUPARAMPARA
Paravidya
Upanishad divided knowledge (vidya) in two categories. One is ‘Paravidya’ and another is ‘Aparavidya’. All Vedas ( Rig-Yajur-Sama-Adarva),Shiksha, (phonetics, phonology and morphophonology) Kalpa (Ritual), Vyakarana (grammar), Nirukta ( etymology), Chandas (meter), Jyotisha (Astrology) are reffred as Aparavidya.
Paravidya is eternal (Brahma). The only way to knowing/studying this knowledge is experiencing it. So this knowledge has its own dignity than all other knowledge. Because of these reason Paravidya can be studied only through a self-realized master.
(One who has read this content very openly (without any prejudgment) can experience Guruji’s blessings within no time.)
Paramasiva
Paramasiva refered as the first yogi from Himalaya who attains and teaches Paravidya to sages.
Agasthyamuni
Paramasiva teach Paravidya to his 7 great disciples. Siva himself referred Agasthyamuni is his best disciple. These 7 sages moves to seven places literally 7 continents. Agasthyamuni moves to India. In his huge life span he travels all over India and spread this knowledge to all over India.
Mahavathar Babaji
The great disciple of Agasthyamuni. Believes he still living in Himalaya.
Lahiri Mahasaya
The great disciple of Mahavathar Babaji. He has an important role to spread Paravidya to ordinary people. He simplified the teaching method so is easily practice by ordinary people.
Yukteswar Giri
One of the greatest disciples of Lahiri Mahasaya. He has a main roll to spread Paravaidya to European countries. For this mission he trained and transformed his best disciple ParamahansaYogananda perfectly.
Paramahansa Yogananda
The great master who spread Paravidya to all over the world. He shows the greatness of Paravidya to the world throughout his mystical life and even after his death. His body not showed any indication of decaying till 21 days after his death. Still spreading his great knowledge about yoga through his great Autobiography ‘The Autobiography of a Yogi’.
Yogasree Yogiraj (Divyathma Sree Yogananda Sreeraj)
He is the greatest master who more simplified Paravidya in the name of ‘Pranayogakriya’. So disciples can attain Pranayogakriya easily without any tough steps in Yoga.(yama-niyama-asana-pranayama-prathyahara-dharana).
In many previous lives Yogiraj delegated to teach this Paravidya to his disciples. After a certain period of time in his life, He recollected all the memories and knowledge attained in his previous lives. So in this life Yogiraj not needed a physical master to attain this knowledge. But he gets directions in his deep meditation from his real ‘Guru’ Paramahasa Yoganadaji itself.
To simplify Paravidya to Pranayogakria Guruji needed 12 years of heavy meditation and fasting. In the first year 41 days of continues fasting without food and water. After that 21 days of continues fasting in every year till the 12th year. These 21 days continues fasting is related to the Mahasamadhi of ParamahansaYogananda. Guruji started his fasting at the same day of Mahasamadhi of ParamahansaYogananda which is 7th of March. These 21 days, March 7 to 28 ParamahansaYoganda’s body kept in California without any indication of decaying. Unknowingly Guruji also selected the same date for his continues fasting.
Now also in every year in March all disciples are doing fasting to be a part of Guruji’s sacrifice. Many disciples are doing fasting and meditation in this time and achieve great joy and relaxation. Many have extra sensory perception experiences. Many can attain the great heights of mind and wisdom. The bases of all these blessings are the great sacrifice done by our beloved Guruji 'Yogasree Yogiraj'.
Renovation of Water to Divine Medicine (Accumulation of Cosmic Energy into Water)
It was a greatest movement in my life when our respectful Guruji give us a live demonstration of the effective use of cosmic energy and water in day to day life. As a beginner in self understanding and meditation (Pranayogakriya), this was one of the greatest real life experiences and unforgettable movement in my whole life. It was our 3rd year of practice, Guruji gave us a live demonstration of how we can accumulate purified energy (Cosmic Energy) into the five essentials (Panjabhoota). Water is preferred by Guruji for doing this demonstration.
To perform this transformation of normal water to divine medicine we ready with two small crystal glasses of pure water by the instruction of Guruji. In the first step of the demonstration Guruji kept one glass of water in his left palm. After correcting the position of left palm he covered the glass with his right hand on the top. We saw that all the primary steps are perfectly completed, he closed his eyes and start passing the divine energy to the water from the bottom and top. This mystical process completed in 30 seconds.
(After this process, Guruji teaches us how we know, energy accumulated in the water perfectly or not. While doing this process, we feel very heaviness in the water. At the end, we feel very difficult to hold the glass of water because of its high weight. It is the perfect time to stop the process because the energy accumulated in the water perfectly)
Then we started to compare the energized water with normal water. We amazingly found that the energized water is completely changed into divine medicine.
First, We compare it by seeing
When we see through the normal water, it was so easy to see the other side, but we felt difficulty to see through the divine medicine because of its thickness also feels like some minerals added in it.
Second, We taste it
The normal water tastes nothing. But the divine medicine tastes totally different. We felt taste of some metal in it. Like copper or brass and also we feel tastes of some unknown materials.
Third, We drink it
The most amazing feeling I got when I drink it. I could feel the way from mouth to stomach. It was very cool. I feel very high energy while drinking and felt like electrified. From my head region to bottom some waves of energy passed through my skin. I think we cannot express it with words. Only we can experience it.
This water transformed divine medicine mainly used as a healing material internally. Many times I have seen some patients recovered easily by using this divine medicine from their stomach ulcer, internal bleeding, acidity, stomach problems, piles, urinary infections, etc. At first Guruji himself made this and give to them. After the critical stage Guruji teaches them how to do this transformation of water to divine medicine by self and how to use it.
Water is most energy receiving material in the five essential (Panjabhoota). The human body also receives an abundant amount of cosmic energy because of 2/3 part of the human body is water. Likewise the major part of the earth is also constructed of water itself, so the earth is the most energy receiving planet in the cosmos.
