Truth of Witnessing and Keval Kumbhak: A Direct Insight

In the path of sadhana, especially in the depth of meditation, I’ve come to see something that feels quietly revolutionary — not by logic, but by inner evidence. I feel that true witnessing — the kind that is free from mental effort — only arises during spontaneous keval kumbhak.

Whenever I try to “witness” while breathing normally, it somehow feels false — a layer added by the mind, a kind of spiritual posturing. It becomes just another illusion — the ego trying to wear the mask of detachment. There is a subtle “I” watching, commenting, waiting — and that watcher is still a part of the illusion.

But when spontaneous keval kumbhak arises — when the breath stops on its own, without control — the real witness wakes up. Not as something I do, but something that simply is. There is no “I am witnessing.” There’s just a wide, alive stillness. Awareness exists — self-luminous — but without an actor, without a breath, without a commentary. It is clear, clean, and complete.

This made me wonder: why have most scriptures and teachers not clarified this?

Why Witnessing Isn’t Clarified Openly

I feel the silence on this truth — the inseparable link between real witnessing and spontaneous keval kumbhak — is what misleads many seekers. Here’s what I see:

  1. Words fall short. Witnessing is beyond intellect. Describing it creates more mind-activity than stillness. Teachers fear that if they say too much, seekers will try to “do witnessing,” which defeats the very essence.
  2. Most seekers aren’t ready. In ancient times, seekers would do years of yama, niyama, and other cleansing — their sadhana would naturally ripen into states like kumbhak and sakshi bhava. So there was no need to explain the connection. But in today’s fast-paced spirituality, people jump straight to “witnessing,” and end up mentally watching their own thoughts with detachment — which is just ego doing spiritual work.
  3. Some masters knew, but didn’t speak it. Great beings like Ramana Maharshi probably understood this deeply — but rarely explained it directly. Ramana would just say, “Be still. Ask Who am I?” He wouldn’t mention keval kumbhak. And yet, in his presence, many fell into spontaneous breathlessness and awareness. The breath stopped, and the Self shone. So the effect was there, but the means weren’t pointed out. To someone like me, who experiences sadhana through the lens of pranic movement and energetic awareness, this felt somewhat incomplete.

🤍 Ramana’s Way Feels Strange — And Here’s Why

Ramana’s method of direct self-inquiry is beautiful, but I found it abstract, because mindless awareness without pranic suspension feels like a mental idea, not a real shift.

In the energy path, when prana rises, when breath stops naturally, and head pressure increases pleasantly, the mind fades, and witnessing arises by itself. It’s not created — it reveals itself.

So it feels strange to say that you can enter mindless awareness without keval kumbhak. In my experience, they arise together. That silence, that witnessing — it is keval kumbhak’s twin.

💓 Rear Anahata: The Inner Breath That Sustains Stillness

There’s something even more subtle I’ve noticed — and it’s become a deep key for me.

During spontaneous keval kumbhak, even though physical breath has stopped, a living sensation of inner breathing continues. It is not a thought or visualization — it is felt directly.

  • Prana moves upward.
  • Apana moves downward.
  • And this flow alternates gently, around the rear side of the Anahata chakra — like a soft breathless tide within the spine.

It feels like real breathing, without lungs. Just the movement of life itself. This subtle rhythm sustains witnessing, deepens it, and keeps the awareness fresh — without falling into dullness or effort.

There is no need to deliberately breathe, or even to try to witness. Just resting in this inner movement — this alternate rising and falling of energy — is enough.

💓 Rear Anahata: The Inner Visualization That Sustains Keval Kumbhak

There’s something even more subtle I’ve discovered — something that has changed how I stay effortlessly within keval kumbhak.

Even when no actual pranic movement is felt, just by mentally visualizing the alternate upward and downward flow of prana and apana — especially centered at the rear Anahata chakra — the entire system enters stillness.

  • No physical breath,
  • No felt pranic motion,
  • Only pure visualization of this gentle alternation — and yet, it sustains total breathlessness.

This shows me that:

Even visualization alone — if done silently, mentally — can anchor the entire body-mind into a full keval kumbhak state.

The visualized pranic breathing acts like a bridge, keeping awareness alive and anchored, without needing either breath or inner sensation. Eventually, even the inner pranic movement seems to pause, and only the sense of direction — up and down — continues quietly in the background, without any mental strain.

This inner seeing becomes like a quiet flame behind the heart, neither flickering nor moving, but radiantly still — and the witnessing remains completely alive.

This resolves a great paradox:

❝ How to stay alive and alert in keval kumbhak, without ego effort? ❞
❝ By silently feeling the inner pranic tide — where prana and apana kiss — behind the heart. ❞

🪶 In Conclusion

True witnessing is not something to do.
It is something that happens — when the body becomes still, the breath stops on its own, and pranic life continues silently beneath the surface.

Trying to witness while breathing normally is often just the ego watching itself.
But when keval kumbhak arises spontaneously — the doer dissolves, the mind is hushed, and witnessing appears as a natural glow.

Let the breath stop by grace, not by force.
Let awareness breathe through prana, not lungs.
And then the true sakshi will reveal itself — clear, untouchable, and ever-present.

How I Let Worldly Thoughts Dissolve into the Self: A Simple Meditation That Changed Everything

One quiet realization changed the way I see thoughts, emotions, and even my meditation image. It wasn’t a dramatic shift, nor did it come from complex techniques. It came naturally while observing my emotional states and attempting to overlay them on my body and the cosmos — through what I understand as a kind of holographic “Sharirvigyan Darshan.”
The Surprising Disappearance of Thought and Emotion
Whenever I tried to project my emotional status — such as anxiety, excitement, or calm — across my bodily field and cosmic expanse in a meditative way, something mysterious yet profoundly simple would occur. All the thoughts and emotional movements that had initially felt heavy or important would vanish. What remained was a pure, neutral existence. Not sorrow, not joy. Not light, not dark. Just a quiet satisfaction.
It wasn’t a void. It was presence — silent, still, and self-sufficient.
Sometimes, in this stillness, a soft, subtle meditation image would arise. This image held no extremes — it wasn’t smiling or crying. It simply carried a balanced, blissful neutrality. A kind of inward smile that radiated peace but didn’t demand attention. It was not exaggerated in beauty or emotion, yet it felt complete. Whole.
What This Experience Taught Me
One insight became clear: when I pray or wish something in the public interest while the meditation image is present, it feels like I’m praying directly to pure existence itself. And astonishingly, this feels very effective — not just in wish fulfillment, but in spiritual alignment.
Then I realized something deeper. It seems nearly impossible to reach this pure state — the Self — directly, bypassing thoughts and emotions. These worldly movements, instead of being distractions, began to feel like reminders, as if they were hinting toward the deep satisfaction already available in the Self.
So I stopped treating them as problems. I began using them.
The Turning Point: Using Thoughts as a Bridge to the Self
Instead of trying to silence my mind forcibly, I let it play. I observed. Then, I gently overlaid whatever was arising — be it thought, worry, hope, or desire — onto this cosmic body view. First on body as it’s whole cosmos nearest to us, then extending it to the external cosmos as both types of cosmos being continuous and connected. As I did, the emotion would no longer feel like mine. It would stretch and dissolve into that larger field. And once again, that same still satisfaction would emerge.
This wasn’t emotional suppression. This was transformation — transmutation.
Why This Matters To Me
I haven’t attained the peak of enlightenment or Nirvikalpa Samadhi — far from it. But these moments, where thoughts dissolve into presence, have taught me something extremely valuable: the path to the Self doesn’t always mean denying the world. It might mean including it — then gently returning it to the Source.
This approach doesn’t feel like effort. It feels natural, even beautiful.
And maybe this is what spiritual maturity actually is — not the absence of thoughts or emotions, but knowing where to let them go.
Final Reflections
This isn’t about showing spiritual superiority. I am still discovering, still refining, still returning. But this small inner shift — from resisting worldly movement to softly offering it — has brought me a satisfaction I couldn’t forcefully reach before.
If you’re someone who finds meditation difficult because of your busy mind, try not to fight it. Offer it.
And let yourself be surprised by the peace that was waiting all along.

Kundalini Yoga Makes the Real Yagya Havan Happen

Kundalini Yoga Makes the Real Yagya Havan Happen

Friends, it is believed that the environment is purified by yagya havan. Some Indian scientists have found out its bactericidal properties through experiments. However, this is not the final conclusion. The observed effect was limited to a specific area around the havan, and its impact on the wider environment remains unknown. Detailed research on this topic has not yet been conducted.

The fact is that the aromatic substances like camphor, guggal, etc., used in the havan material, burn and spread their fragrance, creating a sense of happiness and empowerment in the mind. This can be compared to aromatherapy, which uplifts and energizes the human psyche.

The Connection Between Food and Thoughts

I feel that just as there are many types of thoughts, similarly, there are many types of food.

Some types of food are satvaguni, some rajoguni, and some tamoguni.

Satvaguni food fosters satvaguni thoughts, filling the mind with clarity and purity.

Rajoguni food results in restlessness and rajoguni thoughts, while

Tamoguni food gives rise to tamoguni thoughts, which are heavy and lethargic in nature.

It is often said, “The mind becomes like the food you eat.” For instance:

Eating sour, spicy, and rajoguni food often leads to a restless temperament.

Children naturally prefer spicy junk food like Kurkure and chips because they are already restless by nature.

On the other hand, simple and soft food consumed during fasting fosters a sattvik mind with devotion and tranquility.

Tamoguni thoughts arise from consuming meat, eggs, alcohol, etc., and tamoguni beings like ghosts and spirits are said to resonate with this energy. That is why leftist tantriks offer such items to appease them. Tamoguni energy slows down self-development and evolution.

The Ingredients of Havishya and Their Symbolism

Havishya, the offering material for havan, is prepared using many types of grains:

Black sesame, indicative of tamoguni energy.

Aromatic and sweet substances along with cow’s desi ghee, representing satoguni energy.

Coarse grains like sugar and barley, symbolizing rajoguni energy.

In some traditions, seven types of grains are added to correspond with different planets or chakras. These ingredients represent a mix of all three qualities—sattva, rajas, and tamas.

When a person consumes food, it is digested in the stomach, providing energy for their actions, which are influenced by the nature of the food:

Sattvic food leads to light actions and sattvic thoughts.

Rajoguni food results in restless actions and rajoguni thoughts.

Tamoguni food prompts heavy actions and tamoguni thoughts.

However, when the same food is offered into the havan fire, it doesn’t nourish the body because it is not digested by the stomach’s fire but rather burned in an external physical fire.

Havan: A Medium to Liberate Suppressed Thoughts

Burning havishya in the havan works in an indirect yet profound way—it helps in the expression and release of old, suppressed thoughts. Just remember a saying, “if you can’t do anything directly, then do it indirectly. The inability of burning grains to produce new thoughts directly enforces them to resurface the old thoughts buried in chakras indirectly. The mixed havishya interacts with the seven chakras psychologically or indirectly, allowing hidden thoughts to manifest as various new and old emotional memories.

This experience is deeply transformative. I have personally felt this during yagna, where the mind feels lighter, as though some invisible burden has been lifted.

Additionally, the burning of havishya symbolizes the burning of mental clutter and thoughts. For this to happen, the thoughts must express themselves subtly, without the assistance of the senses. This is why a profound lightness is often experienced during havan.

Role of Mantras and Kundalini Yoga

While performing havan, special mantras dedicated to a particular deity are recited. These mantras are intended to anchor themselves in the emptied mind, purified by the havan process, ensuring that the siddhi (spiritual achievement) related to the deity is attained.

A similar process occurs in Kundalini Yoga:

1. Asanas and pranayamas calm the noise of the mind and chakras.

2. Focused meditation on a particular deity imprints their image firmly within the chakras.

Conclusion

Thus, it can be concluded that yagya havan purifies the internal environment of the body—the mind. While the purification of the external environment requires further research, the internal transformation experienced through havan and its parallel in Kundalini Yoga is profound and undeniable.

This ancient practice not only bridges physical and spiritual realms but also holds the potential to inspire deeper self-realization and harmony.

Kundalini yoga meditation makes a person a believer

Friends, I was recently reading a blogpost that I liked. However, I did not get any response to my comment. It was written in it that only Hindu religion is theistic religion, all others are atheists. The Sanskrit word Aastik is derived from the word ‘Asti’, which means ‘is’. Meaning, the one who believes only in ‘Is’ i.e. existence without name and form, is a theist. ‘Na Asti i.e. Naasti’ means ‘does not exist’. One who believes in ‘nothing’ is an atheist. Anyway, name and form do not exist. Ice forms water, water forms steam, steam forms clouds and water forms again. Despite changing so many names and forms, everything remains water. If we continue this tradition of cause and effect from back to back, everything becomes finer and finer, and in the end only the sky is left. Meaning everything is sky or void or soul form. Void is not void of absence or darkness but void of indescribable form. That is why Hinduism seems escapist, but in reality it is not so. The real believer is not the one who completely rejects name and form. Rather, the real theist is the one who considers the true and real existence to be higher than the false and fake existence in the form of name. If we do not accept name and form at all, then how will worldly life run and how will human civilization develop? In such a situation, everyone will become like detached monks. The whole science is dependent on name and form. If you don’t give a name or form to a thing then you will not be able to understand it and how will you be able to control it. Science will not be possible without accepting name and form. On the other hand, other religions are also not completely atheistic. The real atheist is not one who believes only in name and form and denies pure existence. Rather, the real atheist is the one who gives more importance to the existence of name and form than the pure and real existence. While accepting the existence of name and form, pure existence itself comes to be accepted, because ‘is’ seems to be with everyone. The existence of pure ‘is’ and the existence of name and form are dependent on each other, and both co-exist with each other. They cannot remain separate from each other. The difference is who is given more importance in the mind. Meaning, the difference is only in the perception of the mind. The worldly life of a theist is the same as that of an atheist. The difference lies in the ideology or perception of the mind of both. Just by changing the perception of the mind, adverse effects like heaven and hell are created. It means clearly that no one can be a complete theist or a complete atheist. In behaviour, everyone is of mixed nature. Various theological scriptures have been created only to keep the mind’s perception theistic. Spirituality only improves the perception of the mind. Worldliness will work only through science. Formation and improvement of mental perception is a natural tendency, just as man himself gets drawn towards the experience of happiness. I don’t see much contribution of religion in this. Religion does not teach man which situation is pleasant, rather man learns it himself from his own experience. Anyway, human psychology is very complex and diverse. No such general rule can be made in this regard, as is made for inanimate objects like general rules like gravity etc. Here, every person’s mind is unique in itself, for which the rules should also be unique. Yes, a religious book can declare a general principle for everyone, but that too should be unanimous and scientifically or spiritually proven. Although there may be human exceptions to that too. Man has to take worldly practical steps himself according to time and circumstances. Meaning everything cannot be written or told. That is why people of all types of beliefs will be found in every religion. Yes, proportion can vary due to different reasons. For example, the Yaksha asked Yudhishthira what was the greatest wonder of the world. To this Yudhishthir replied that people die every day, but despite seeing this, living people think that they will never die. There is no bigger surprise than this. Yaksha was satisfied with this answer. A person with positive perception will take this story in such a way that even while living life with full enthusiasm, a person should always remember that someday his life will end, hence one should not be attached to life. Meaning, do not be attached to name and form, that is, while handling worldly affairs according to the time and place, adopt theistic belief, not atheistic belief. But a person with negative thoughts will take it as if there is nothing left in life, hence one should always remain as if dead. Completely give up the worldly world full of name and form and become a staunch believer. Dharmashastra had written a good story from its side, but how did its author know that many people might misinterpret it. Similarly, Guru can also explain only general rules and principles from his life experience, even he cannot follow every step.

Holding the breath for a few moments and then taking long deep breaths brings more attention to the pure existence of thoughts, and less to their nominal diversity. If Kundalini Shakti is also combined with that Pranayama, then the effect increases manifold, because it gives more strength to the revelation of suppressed thoughts, due to which theism becomes more effective. With Tantric power the effect increases further many times more. With fast and shallow breathing, thoughts keep changing continuously with the breath. Due to this, attention is focused only on their superficial names and there is no time to go into their depth. But when the breath is slow, long or stopped, then the same thought of the mind remains till the breath stops or till the completion of one breath or for many consecutive breaths. Due to this, those thoughts fell as if rise from, grow and merge into soul repeatedly. The word Om ॐ also reflects the same process, in which the letters A, U and Ma represent birth, growth, stopping and dissolution respectively. Om is the seed mantra of Sahasrara because the entire universe keeps on arising, growing and dissolving in the form of thoughts in the mind itself. The two sharp curves or rings on the two sides of this letter ॐ are three-dimensional, but appear two-dimensional on paper. The ring on the left curves to the other side along the curvature of the left brain, and the curvature on the right covers the posterior side of the right brain. Meaning the entire brain is covered with Om. The lunar dot above it is the Sahasrara Chakra point. From this we realize that the names and forms were false, the real form of thoughts is like the void sky or soul, that is, only the existence without names and forms is real, from where they appear to be born and also appear to merge into it. Thoughts change quickly due to fast and shallow breathing. Therefore neither do we see them being born from the void soul nor do we see them merging into the void soul. This makes them visible to us truthfully. We think that the old idea that has now been replaced by the new idea is true, and our brain itself has taken hold of the new idea in its place. Anyway, it is difficult to pay attention to shallow fast breaths.

The meaning is clear that Kundalini Yoga helps in becoming a believer. One of the reasons for this is that during Kundalini Yoga, by maintaining focus on the breath and body, one does not pay much attention to the name and form of thoughts and only their existence remains aware. This is like the practice of witnessing, meaning we are watching them like a witness. And are not affected by them. Additionally, the body remains in a fixed posture during yoga asanas, and resists reaction or movement according to thoughts. Even with this the nominalization of thoughts does not become effective.

The handle of thoughts is breath. This is because thoughts move in sync with the breath. It is very difficult to capture thoughts without breathing. Watching the breath means watching the thoughts, meaning witnessing. When we are not watching the breath, we are not watching the thoughts either. At that time we ourselves become thoughts. When we are not watching the breath, we ourselves become the breath. No one can see oneself. If seen, it goes to someone else only. Meaning then there is no witnessing. There can be only two feelings, either spectator feeling or visual feeling. If the viewer does not have the feeling of being a spectator then the visual feeling is created automatically. Meaning, the viewer doesn’t remain detached from the scene but becomes the scene itself. This can happen to a father while watching his son playing in the field. If there is spectator sentiment then there cannot be visual sentiment. Both feelings cannot live together. It is a characteristic of the spectator’s feeling that he is not affected by the joys and sorrows of the scene. If a man is being influenced by his thoughts, it means that he does not have a spectator or witness attitude towards his visible thoughts but has a visual or self-conscious attitude. If thoughts are considered as the form of self then it is knowledge, but if the self i.e. man becomes the form of thoughts then it is ignorance.

In this matter, I liked the words of a Tibetan Buddhist yogi that pay attention to the breath as well as the thoughts, that is, leave the thoughts open, only then meditation takes place. Meaning, neither suppress thoughts nor ignore them. When the attention remains on the breath or keeps going there intermittently, then the attachment to them will automatically reduce and the feeling of being a spectator towards them will arise.

Perhaps what is often thought that the uniform darkness of lifelessness is devoid of name and form is wrong. In fact, in the form of that darkness, the worldly thoughts in the form of name are located in a subtle form, which when given a chance, appear again in a gross form. The real existence without name and form is that of the completely pure soul i.e. God, which is indescribable. However, it is attained only from the world of name and form, because it resides in every particle.

It is written in the scriptures that darkness of lifelessness does not actually exist. We feel it due to the illusion created by worldly attachment. This is the same illusion as after spinning on a circular wheel, after getting out of it, all the things around it also appear to be rotating for some time. The faster or the longer we move around, the faster and longer we feel the things moving around. Similarly, whatever kind of worldly life will happen, the darkness of lifelessness that follows will also be felt in the same way. This is called the subtle body. Then just as the feeling of spinning ends after some time itself, similarly the darkness of the subtle body should also disappear after some time. Meaning man himself should become free after death. But this is not written anywhere in the scriptures. Logically, it seems that just as a man returns to his previous worldly state after the false feeling of wandering, in the same way, after the illusion of lifelessness, a man should re-enter his old worldly life, that is, he should be reborn. But the one who has previously experienced complete liberation or awakening, perhaps he goes back to his previous liberated state, that is, he becomes free. Still, this seems to be somewhat scriptural.

The more massive a black hole is, the more light it swallows and the more darkness it creates inside itself. The information about its original star would be stored in it in the form of the same virtual darkness. It is possible that after some time that darkness will be born again in the form of a similar star. Scientists call this the release of energy through the white hole to another unknown universe. Whereas those stars which are of lesser weight, their destruction leads to darkness for a short period of time, and they merge into the infinite sky full of infinite energy, meaning they become free. They must be like our ascetics and recluses, who keep their worldliness light.

Best wishes to everyone for the consecration of Lord Ram idol in the newly constructed grand Ayodhya Ram temple tomorrow on 22nd January.

Kundalini awakening kills demons and ghosts hidden inside the ocean in entirety

Friends, there is a story in Shivpuran that due to the boon of Parvati, there was a demon named Daruki who was immersed in ego. Her husband Daruk was also very powerful. She used to torment good men by taking many demons with him. She had a forest on the shore of the Western Sea, which was very prosperous. Daruki had given the responsibility of taking care of it to her husband Daruk. People prayed to the sages to drive them away. So the sages said that if these demons continue to kill creatures on earth and destroy the Yagya, then they themselves will also die. Hearing the curse, the gods took advantage of the opportunity and started fighting with them. Fearing the curse, the demons thought that even if they fight, they will be killed, and if they don’t fight, what will they eat, they will still be killed. Then Daruki remembered the boon granted by Parvati that she could go wherever she wanted with her forest and kin. On the advice of the demons, she blew up the entire forest and went on the water in the middle of the ocean. Seeing that incident, it seemed as if the mountains were flying in the sky with wings. Due to fear of the curse of Sage Aurva, those demons did not come to the land. Rather, they kept roaming in water only. They would bring people sitting on boats to their city, put them in jail and even kill some. Even while staying there, they continued to torment people in some way or the other. Just as people used to remain afraid when they were on land earlier, the same now started to remain when they were in water also. Once she came out of her city located in the demonic waters and stopped the way to earth to torment people. At the same time, many beautiful boats filled with people arrived from all around. Pleased with that, the demons soon caught them. They tied them in strong chains and put them in jail. There they were also reprimanded by demons, due to which they remained unhappy. Among those people, a devotee of Shiva named Supriya used to perform Shiva puja and used to teach it to all the other people and make them do it. Shiva also used to directly accept his offering material, but even Vaishya did not know this. One day the servant of the demon Daruk saw Lord Shiva directly in front of the Vaishya. When Daruk asked the merchant, he denied knowing. Daruk ordered him to be killed. When the demons came running to kill him, he started chanting Shivkirtan continuously. Due to this, Shiva appeared from that pit i.e. prison with a beautiful temple with four doors all around. Shiva killed all the demons by giving Pashupat weapon to Vaishya. Then he gave a boon that in this forest, the religions of all the four varnas will remain stable and there will be only devotees of Shiva here, there will never be any Tamoguni. Saddened by this, Daruki went crying to Parvati. Parvati quarreled with Shiva to protect those demons. With this Shiva told her to then do whatever she e wanted. Then Parvati told Shiva that your promise or boon would be implemented at the end of the era. Till then the evil world will remain. And said that this Daruki Rakshasi is my power, she is the strongest among all the Rakshasas, she should rule over the Rakshasas. These demons’ wives will give birth to their sons here. All of them together will reside in this forest with my permission. Then Shiva said that I will also reside in this forest to protect my devotees. The one who will see me lovingly while being established in his varna-ashrama-dharma, will be a Chakravarti king. Then after the end of Kaliyuga and the beginning of Satyayuga, the famous king named Veersen with his big army will become very mighty due to my devotion, and will come here and see me, and as a result will become the Chakravarti king. In this way, Shiva and Parvati, having fun and enjoying the pastimes, settled there. Shiva became famous by the name of Nageshwar Jyotirlinga and Parvati became famous by the name Nageshwari.

investigative analysis of myth

Daruk demon is the ego. His demonic wife Daruki is intellect. Many ideas arise from it. They are the demon children of these two. These keep people wandering here and there, make them worried, create fear etc. in them and create many vices. Many even die due to these defects. The west direction is the back part of the body. Forest is the area of the brain filled with hair, which is spread more towards the back of the body. Sagar aka ocean is the Muladhar area as both are situated at the lowest place. This mental confusion spreads in the brain itself. It is the ego that protects the body along with it. People go to gurus and sages for peace of this mess. The sage says that if the mental confusion continues to distract people like this, then how will they be able to work. And if they do not work, what will they earn and what will they eat? Due to this, if there are no people who become victims, then this mental mess which has become a hunter, whom it will eat to sustain life. Reassured by this, people keep this mental confusion under control and start doing their work. It is said in this way that knowing the opportunity, the gods started a war with those demons, because people are able to work only through the senses situated in the body in the form of gods. If this mental confusion keeps re-emerging from the mindset of yoga or meditation, then there occurs a witnessing of it itself, because people are busy in their work. This will itself destroy it. If it does not continue to appear, then how can it maintain its existence, that is, how can it remain alive? It has been said that if the demons fight with the gods, they will still be killed, and if they don’t, then what will they eat, hence they will still be killed. Meaning, people’s problems are their food, and the darkness of ignorance that increases due to them is their increased health. Due to this, the mental confusion becomes hidden in a subtle or latent or subconscious form. In a way, it hides in the dark sea of Mooladhar. In the middle of the ocean, in the depths, there is darkness because no ray of light can reach there. Any person who gets tired or upset with life and becomes depressed, in a way, goes boating in the sea of Muladhar, thinking that there are no earthly troubles of worldly life here. He gets peace for a short time, but then he falls into the trap of the dark subconscious mind. It is possible that during times of poverty, famine, epidemic, political or geographical crisis, many people may have collectively fallen prey to distress and depression. This is what many people going together in boats and descending into the sea has been said. The darkness experienced through the unconsciousness of the subconscious mind is likened to putting people by those demons into a dark prison cell. It is in the form of darkness that those demons haunt them. When old misdeeds buried in the subconscious mind are felt in the form of angry creatures or humans, perhaps this is the demons reprimanding those people. Many people get killed, meaning many people get sick and die from depression, and many commit suicide. A Shiva devotee meditates on Kundalini at Mooladhar in that dark state. Other people also get benefit from his satsang. The more darkness there is in that dark chamber of the subconscious mind, the more the Kundalini shines. Perhaps it is said that a demon saw Lord Shiva directly. The world of darkness prevents the Yogi from doing sadhana. Due to this, neither the light of the world remains in his mind because he has already left the world, nor of Sadhana, not of anyone. This state is similar to death. Perhaps it is said that the ego of the people in the form of Daruk ordered the death of Vaishya through worldly thoughts and things in the form of demons. Due to this, the seeker, out of fear of the world or stubborn anger towards it, intensifies his sadhana and awakens his Kundalini. Perhaps it is said that out of fear of those demons, the Vaishya started chanting Shivkirtan continuously and loudly. Then a temple with four doors appears, and Shiva is seated in it. Muladhara Chakra also has four petals. Kundalini awakening is the manifestation of Shiva. He destroys the demons in the form of mental confusion. Actually the subconscious mind is stuck to the soul in the form of darkness of the soul. When light is born in the soul, it itself gets destroyed.

Parvati is the form of nature aka Prakriti. She wants the expansion of the world, which is not possible without Tamoguna. Intellect or intelligence in the form of Daruki demon is her power. Meaning, the world expands only through intelligence. Intelligence is the most powerful sense. She creates many demonic thoughts by making the egoistic creature her husband i.e. her protector. Those thoughts, by marrying the demonic senses like hands and feet, i.e. by meeting them and with their cooperation, produce various types of worldly things. All those things are said to be the sons of those demons and demonesses. All of them live in the same forest-like brain which resides in the subtle form in the Muladhar. Worldly things may appear external, but they all exist in the mind only. It is only through the intellect that they are permitted to stay there, because if it wishes, it can get them all thrown out through yoga etc. Shivalinga, Shiva temple and Shivamurthy are also part of this forest, which protects the devotees. The person who will follow Varnochit Dharma i.e. Karmayoga and with the power generated from it will awaken kundalini by loving it in the form of Shiva , i.e. will have the darshan of Shiva, he will be a Chakravarti king, i.e. he will be such a soul whose all the chakras will be awakened or active. Kaliyug, Satyayug, all these are stages of life of people. Kaliyuga stage means man’s worldly stage full of competition and materialism. As long as this state exists, the defects of the mind will remain. When man evolves and enters the stage of Satyayuga, i.e. the stage of spiritual practice, then he kills these vices like a mighty warrior. This happens due to the power of Shiva, which means meditation of Shiva. From this he gets Kundalini awakening which means seeing Shiva, which is a state like Chakravarti king. Because the Muladhar Chakra, Kundalini Shakti and Sushumna Nadi are all associated with the serpent, the name of the Linga situated in Muladhar is Nageshwar and the Shakti associated with it is Nageshwari. The mysterious story of King Veersen related to this will be described in the next post.

Happy Dussehra and happy burning demon Ravan

Kundalini Yoga shows Om is the singularity in which the blackhole is contained

Whatever matter-like information goes into the blackhole, it remains in destroyed or inaccessible form. In the same way, the subconscious mind of a man also preserves all his information in the form of thoughts from time immemorial in its destroyed form. When those thoughts are brought back in a visible or manifest form through witnessing, meditation etc., then they gradually become loose and merge into the divine. When all thoughts dissolve, the soul or the subtle body becomes free. Probably, due to the formation of physical world again and again in the same way from the blackhole, those informations keep getting loose and in the end they get united with the God in the form of supreme sky and never come back again. Meaning the blackhole becomes free. There is a catch here. A black hole does not become free by being a gross creation again and again, just as a man does not become free simply by being born again and again. When the information from the blackhole continues to come out in subtle form, in that form it merges into the supreme soul, not directly. Perhaps those microscopic information are Hawking radiation, in whose form the entire blackhole will someday dissolve. Of course it takes a lot of time. Where does it take less time for the liberation of the soul. Hawkins radiation also emanates from the blackhole, and it also creates new creations simultaneously, of course, the size of the new creations gradually decreases. In the same way, man’s practice of witnessing also goes on in more or less form, and along with it new births also keep on taking place, of course, in the future births, the noise of the mind’s thoughts keeps on decreasing, the ego keeps on decreasing.
Science says that the more matter enters inside the black hole, the more its gravitational force will increase, and the thicker the accretion disk outside it will be. At first I wondered how it could happen that when the new infinite sky was formed, then the matter that entered it should spread out into the infinite sky, and that should not affect the accretion disk. Also, once an infinite hole has been formed in the original infinite sky, how can that hole get bigger as more matter enters inside, because nothing is bigger than infinity. And increasing gravity actually means increasing the depth of the pit in space. But I found the solution by comparing it with the soul. When the individual-infinite space in the form of soul is formed for the first time, it is like a newly formed blackhole. First thing, how the soul is made. When the first thought of the mind is formed in the smallest creature, Chidakasha or conscious sky i.e. Paramakasha Paramatma bound with it feels it within itself. Being attached to that thought wave, he immediately forgets his Paramakash or Mahakasha or supreme sky form. He lives in the same great space, but forgets its super existence, knowledge (true knowledge) and bliss to a great extent due to delusion. This became the origin of the living space within the great space. However, the cosmic God remains the same, without change, in his original form. It means that the soul has originated inside the Supreme Soul. Now coming to blackhole. A big star ran out of fuel inside it. So there is no force of hot gases towards the outside to counter the gravitational force towards its inside. This causes it to continually shrink within itself to the smallest possible form. I think that form is the most subtle thought of the mind. Because in front of it even the fundamental particles like proton, electron etc. are gross. The smallest thought is the mental sound of Om. The proof of this is that with it the soul has the least illusion of its absolute form. Even the illusion seems to end. That’s why Om is uttered spontaneously from the mouth of Brahmagyanis and accomplished Yogis. The more the other thoughts keep on increasing, the more the confusion keeps on increasing. So the smallest thing became the sound Om. The origin of the soul is probably from Om itself, because Yatpinde tat brahmande. A gross object cannot pierce the sky. If it were so, then each stone would be a separate soul or living being, each particle would be alive, and would feel its own separate existence in the infinite sky. But this does not happen. Only the thought of the mind can pierce the sky. That’s why as many living bodies i.e. brain or mind, there are as many separate infinite skies as souls of living beings. That’s why mind is needed to create a new universe, because it will be created only when there is a hole in the sky. Om is the subtlest mind. That is why it is said in scriptures that the universe originated from the thought of God or Brahma. From Om made of super compressed star, Moolakaash or original sky bound to it forgets its original form and becomes a new complete sky. Although the original sky remains the same. This has been said in the language of science that a singularity made of a star creates a pit of infinite depth in space. Perhaps Om itself has been called singularity in science, because it is not known what it is. Just figured it’s the tiniest thing. Probably we have proved that the smallest thing is Om. Then it is said that due to the explosion in that singularity, the creation of the universe starts spreading. It has been said in the scriptures as well that the universe originates from Om. It also means that even a small thought has a mass equal to hundreds of suns, that is why it makes such a big hole in the three-dimensional sheet of the original sky that a new sky is formed, means a new independent universe in the form of a new independent soul comes into existence. But it is surprising how the creature who can create the universe remains pathetic and dependent. So if warp drive were to be built tomorrow, it would be some kind of machine that could fold the sky as much as it is wanted. This would take you on a trip to space. It is possible that aliens come to earth with the help of such a Om machine. People involved in the case of alien interviews after the so-called UFO crash claim that aliens have spiritual techniques, and that they recognize their true nature very well, like yogis. To them the human civilization on earth is like a monkey civilization. Then after birth, the soul expands its scope. It keeps on receiving information from outside through different senses like eyes, ears etc., and keeps on growing. It is as if the blackhole keeps on swallowing the outside matter, and keeps on increasing its mass. The greater the soul, the greater is the scope of its influence. Where the range of insects is up to a few inches or feet, there is so much information inside the minds of great men that their sphere of influence extends to the whole nation or the world. People from all over the world are drawn to them. Their sphere of influence can be compared to the accretion disk of a black hole.
The universe continues to be created from Om and also remains absorbed in it. Someday instead of just one star, the mass of the entire universe will shrink and merge inside Om. This would be called the formation of the ultimate blackhole. It will not get anything to swallow. Due to this, it will die of hunger soon, that means then that Om will also merge in the supreme sky. This is called holocaust. The holocaust will continue for a long time. Then at the beginning of the creation Om will appear again containing the mass of all the old creation. There will be a big bang or great explosion in it and the creation of the universe will start again. This process is repeated again and again.
Now many people will say that the black hole has swallowed only a negligible amount of matter in comparison to the universe, how can such a big new universe be formed from it. But brother, the eternal sky would have been formed by Om. New substances can also be formed in it. The swallowed material from the old universe is just a beginning. It is also like a child carrying information from his past life in a very subtle form or most primitive organism feeling first Om sound as first thought in its mind, which appears to be negligible compared to the whole of the past life or its mental creations to be created later on. Then he collects some information from outside also, that too is negligible. He himself creates most of the information within himself through his creativity, through his actions, thoughts etc. In the same way, the first micro organism to be formed has only the subtlest thought of Om, but as it develops, it also becomes Brahma, in which the whole universe is contained. This also means that no matter how small a black hole is, it can form the largest universe, because it forms a vessel of infinite size in the form of an infinite sky. And where there is a vessel, rain water also gets collected there.

Kundalini Yoga Exposes the Biggest Lie

Friends, in the previous post we were talking about the environmental side effects of cement. That’s all, but those who use it, they also don’t use properly. Most laxity is given to that curing in the form of water irrigation, especially in government and contractual works, which is most important for its strength. This wastes resources, and there is a possibility of heavy loss of life and property due to accidents. Well, we don’t want to stray from the main topic by going into these technical matters. I have another book on this, “Basic pillars of multi-tech organic farming and rainwater harvesting” in Hindi. In this post we will discuss the biggest lie.

To observe thoughts calmly means that we are accepting their existence. Their real or true nature. Their subtle nature. Their spiritual nature. Their mental nature. Accepting their independent nature. Accepting their authority based on something. Accepting their incomplete authority. We are accepting their existence with an extinguished mind. With this, when the thought disappears, we will not feel the darkness of their absence or feel-less. Along with this, indirectly it will also be proved or believed that the absence which we think of as darkness is actually light, because from there these thoughts keep popping out and merging their in. With this, the soul will gradually become clean and move towards liberation. If we get carried away in thoughts’ flow, it would mean that we are accepting their unreal existence. Accepting their physical nature. Accepting their gross authority. Accepting their physical authority. Accepting their independent nature. Accepting their absolute power. When the thought disappears with this attitude, we will feel dark. In case of third type of attitude, If we try to deny or remove them, it would mean that we are denying their existence alright. This will also indirectly mean that we are accepting the nature of darkness. Due to this, life will go towards darkness. Means witnessing is the biggest spiritual practice. This is the best middle path of the Buddhists. In witnessing, that’s why the soul gets pleasure. Harm even by chasing away thoughts and harm even by embracing them. So keep paying attention to your breath and your body, and let the thoughts come and go.
It is a matter of saying that witnessing is everything, there is no need to do yoga etc. anything else. It is like saying that the fruit is everything, there is no need for trees etc. The real practice of witnessing happens only during yoga practice. At that time thoughts are coming to the brain, and attention and vision are on the lower parts of the body or chakras like Muladhara etc.. This does two things at once. One is that yin means the lower part and yang means the brain part merge together, and the second is that the thoughts of the brain remain ignored even when they come, which leads to the best witnessing. Welcome thoughts like uninvited guests. Just as we remain neutral towards uninvited guests while welcoming them, so should we be towards thoughts. The main thing is that people prefer to watch scenes made of 4K signals, not scenes with SD signals. Consider the signal generated in the brain during yoga as 4k, and in common worldly condition as SD or at most HD. That’s why maximum witnessing feeling i.e. mute viewer feeling arises during yoga. In normal worldly condition, we can react according to mental visions, but how will we react during yoga, because apart from mental vision, nothing exists in physical form. That’s why we have to remain calm and keep watching the scene. That’s why many people call television also a good witnessing instrument, because we cannot give any reaction for that also. That’s why fictional movies give more fun than movies based on true events. Because where the sense of the truthfulness of the intellect wakes up towards such visions, there will be a disturbance in the mute viewing stance and self-bliss.

Witnessing practice means yoga practice can be done three times a day. It seems most important in the mid day. At that time the energy of the body is at its peak, due to which a lot of suppressed thoughts emerge, which are well witnessed. If there is a shortage of space etc., then at least Pranayama can be done. If there is a problem in sitting, then this can be done even on a chair. Deep Kundalini meditation by holding the breath on the chakras can cause headache etc., so light Pranayam is enough during the day. The best time for meditation is in the morning and evening at Sandhya that’s day-night union time, when the brain gets extra energy from the Muladhara. At that time, the burden of worldly works also seems to be removed. Perhaps that is why Trikal or three times Sandhya was very prevalent in the olden times. Not everyone can be self-aware all the time, because some people’s work is strange and complicated. Those who have a long practice or who have access to satsang, they can stay however. Karmayogi also remains self-aware all the time, but Karmayoga is also not easy. That’s why for the benefit of the common man there is a provision of sadhana three times a day, rest of the time keep doing any practical work, keeping sadhana on the table.

The problem arises when man does not see reality. Does not see the truth. There is no harm in seeing, there is no harm in seeing the real thing. The evil is in seeing things in their false forms. Seeing thoughts in subtle form is Satyadarshan or true viewing, but seeing them in gross and physical form is Asatyadarshan or false viewing. Seeing thoughts inside your body or mind is Satya Darshan, but seeing them outside yourself is Asatya Darshan. Seeing thoughts in one’s own form means non-dual form and self-form is true vision, but seeing them in other’s form means in dual form and non-self form is false vision. Not that these are only the philosophical things. This is scientific truth. In fact, worldliness is completely based on lies. Subtle thoughts are given a false gross form. Spiritual (Chidakasha-Atman or consciousness-sky-form soul) thoughts are given a false physical (just opposite of Atman) form. Thoughts located inside the body are falsely understood to be outside the body. If we consider thoughts in their true form, then the world has disappeared and only soul and soul is everywhere. It is a great thing that this vision is itself maintained without any special effort while doing yoga, because at that time the activity of thoughts changes rapidly according to the rapid changes in the activity of Prana in the form of body postures and breath, due to which the belief that all these are connected with each other is self-affirmed, and always remains maintained in the subconscious that manufacturers habit of an individual. I am saying body instead of mind or brain because different thoughts carry different energy levels, so they fit on different chakras of the body. The ones with more energy are towards Sahasrara and the ones with less energy are towards Muladhara. The energy of thoughts should not be tampered with, otherwise the burden on the brain will increase which can also cause headache. That is why the real form of man is not the mind or brain, as is commonly understood, but the front channel from the Sahasrara Chakra to the Muladhara Chakra and the group of chakras located on it. Understand that it is a bamboo stick with seven knots. Thoughts are not necessarily attached to the chakras, they can be felt at the height or level of the chakras over any long distance. Perhaps the thoughts of Sahasrara cover the whole distance towards the sky, and the thoughts of Muladhara the whole distance towards the lower worlds down. Wherever thoughts are felt, they should be welcomed there, but in their real subtle and spiritual form, not in their false gross and physical form. Also during yoga, by looking at the thoughts with a true eye, they do not disappear at once like in the normal worldly condition, but they disappear comfortably and slowly giving joy to the soul, because the energy level is high while doing yoga. Calmness with little clearing of Atman is felt too with dissolving thought waves. Along with this, various technical experiments like holding of breath, i.e. Pranayama during yoga also reduce the restlessness of the mind. With this the soul feels well satisfied. In the normal state, they disappear before they can provide proper bliss to the soul and get burried as darkness in subconscious leaving the soul blurred like the scar on the moon, because the energy level is low, so leaving the soul as if thirsty of cleaning water. If we accept thoughts in their false form, then the soul has disappeared and the world and the world is everywhere. It is a simple matter that thoughts become so much more clear by yoga, which is not even in the condition of common material worldliness. Due to this, their true subtle form automatically comes to the fore. Means Kundalini Yoga exposes the biggest lie in the best way. Anyway, the soul gets strength from this exposure to get exposed itself. If there is no lie, there will be no exposure either. This means that the lie and its exposure must go hand in hand. Meaning that materialism and spiritualism should go hand in hand in a balanced way. Balanced means that there should not be so much materiality that it becomes on the life of a man or the life-giving earth starts getting destroyed. There is less lie in an animal, so it has less chance to be exposed, due to which its self-development is also very low or slow. This biggest lie is called ignorance in the language of spirituality, and its exposure is knowledge. Beware of those who try to extract money by mixing worldliness with spirituality, because when they are in worldly mode with money, there is no spiritual mode at that time. Yogi and writer Shri Om Swami is right in saying that Yogi should be financially self-reliant, along with that he should also be an industrialist who can provide financial support to the society. What a yogi who goes on begging even for himself.

I think that some initial spiritual practice can better be done in a group etc. Later, probably in most of the cases higher stage spiritual practice is fruitful only in solitude, not in a crowd. Anyway, the sadhna that can be done in the crowd is Karmayog, not doing yoga by holding the nose. Come on, no problem, let’s flow with the times. There is no compulsion in this. Whatever you find good and suitable for yourself, do it. This promotion is for those who are entitled to it, but are not able to get used to it due to various reasons like hesitation etc. Promotion of a film does not mean that it should be seen by everyone, but that it should be accessible to the curious and needy person. Valentine’s Day does not mean that on this day everyone should make a couple and fall in love with each other, but that those who feel the need and scope for it, but are unable to do so due to hesitation etc., should get a chance to do so. Best wishes on World Yoga Day week to all.

Kundalini Yogi destroys ego and tantric sins in the form of Hiranyakashipu with the help of meditation picture as Lord Nrisimha and saves soulful intellect as Prahlad

Friends, in the previous post, how the peacock became a Yogi. Yogi’s back energy channel is male peacock, while the front channel is peahen. In an atmosphere full of depression, the power of Muladhara creates many faulty thoughts in his mind, because the power does not find any other way to be spent. He drinks the same thoughts i.e. tears by touching the inverted tongue to the soft palate inside the mouth as Khechari mudra. The same tears descending through the front channel take the form of Kundalini image on the chakras, especially on the navel chakra, which means the peahen becomes pregnant.

According to a legend in the Puranas, a demon named Hiranyakashipu sought a boon from Brahma that he should not be killed by humans or animals, neither in the day nor in the night, neither inside nor outside the house, nor by astra that’s fired weapons or shastra that’s handheld weapons. Hiranyakashipu considered Lord Vishnu as his worst enemy. But his son Prahlad was a devotee of Vishnu. Hiranyakashipu explained a lot to him but when he did not agree, he made many attempts to kill him. Once he got the iron pole red hot and asked Prahlad to stick to it. When Prahlad saw an ant crawling on it, he hugged the pillar without fear. Only then a strange creature came out of it, whose face was of a lion but it was a man from below. His name was Narasimha. He took him to the door of the house in the evening, took him on his lap and killed him with his nails.

Hiranyakashipu is also a symbol of tantric sin. Tantrik Panchamakar is sinful mostly. The tendency of sinful energy is more towards the material world. That’s why it does not allow man to go towards spirituality. But by Guru’s grace, a man’s trend becomes towards spirituality. It has been said in the story that the teacher of the school turned Prahlad towards spirituality. Then Hiranyakashipu removed that teacher and appointed a new teacher who gives physical education full of deceit. But Prahlad’s nature did not change. The meaning is clear that the blind power tries to take away even from the true Guru, but even if a little contact is established with the true Guru, it does not succeed. As a result, these tantric sins inclined towards spirituality make the Sushumna of man activated. This is the making of red hot iron pole by Hiranyakashipu. The yogi’s joining the meditation picture with it is his embracing it, for man’s own form is also that which he is meditating on every moment. The awakening of Dhyanachitra that’s meditation image means the manifestation of Lord Narasimha, by whom along with all other sins, those tantric sins committed for the success of Kundalini Sadhana are also destroyed. This is the killing of Hiranyakashipu by Nrisimha. The appearance of Narasimha from that burning pillar in the evening means that at that time Sushumna becomes more active than other times and most likely awakens the image of meditation in Sahasrara. Sushumna Nadi is that fiery red iron pillar. Sushumna also resides inside backbone stiff like iron. Because many people consider the picture of Kundalini as scary like a ghost, because it does not have a physical existence, that is why it has been given the form of a fearsome Narasimha. Meditation picture is neither human nor animal. It can be understood in such a way that when half-human forms like Hanuman, Ganesha are meditated upon, then Dhyanachitra is most expressive. He is neither inside nor outside. This means that Dhyanachitra is not a physical object, but only an imaginary picture. It is formed neither during the day nor at night, but it is formed in the evening while doing Kundalini Yoga. He takes Hiranyakashipu in his lap and punctures his belly with his fingernail, that means by lifting up the subconscious and unconscious mind from Muladhar hidden there as ego, he eliminates them by manifesting them on the chakras, means this is Vipasana Sadhana. In Sahasrar Chakra, it remains fully manifested, and remains asleep in Mooladhara, so it does not come to die in both the places. It remains semi-awake or semi-conscious only in the middle chakras, that’s why it comes to die in the middle. This is also the principle of witnessing in Vipassana practice. This is Chakrabhedan that’s chakra piercing through Shakti. First the dormant thoughts and desires from the surface of the subconscious mind are awakened by life force and expressed on the chakras, then they are penetrated by the flow of life force on the chakras. In fact, those desires and rituals are pierced or destroyed, but chakras are believed to be pierced. Because the navel chakra of the stomach is the most prominent, hence Hiranyakashipu’s stomach has been said to be torn open. Because most yogis strengthen their meditation by placing the tip of the fingernail or atleast finger on the chakra point causing the sharp prickling sensation at the chakra with the fingernail, that is why it is said that Narasimha tore Hiranyakashipu with the fingernail. Neither a human nor an animal can kill the ego. It cannot be killed by any type of weapon. It can be killed neither completely being outside i.e. extroverted, nor completely being inside i.e. introverted, but only by a suitable mixture of both. In this, the killing of Hiranyakshipu in the balanced or middle states tells that Sushumna is active only in the state of Sangam or union i.e. Yinyang. The Kundalini Yogi who feels a slight sensation like crawling in the back i.e. Sushumna, makes him believe about awakening of Kundalini, due to which he engages in yoga practice and activates Sushumna and achieves Kundalini awakening. It is said as Prahlad saw a worm crawling on that burning iron pillar, convinced with that he embraced it, from which Lord Narasimha appeared.

Kundalini Yoga as a Spiritual Science Machine

The mental body that’s manomaya sharir is also the man himself. He would not have been anyone else. That body would be very detailed. When it is experienced as one’s own self, then it begins to wane, and takes the form of the Kundalini image. There is also a feeling of emptiness, lightness and joy. Similarly, knowledge or gyana is actually of the soul. But Vigyan means special knowledge, ‘vi’ meaning special or vishesh in Sanskrit, it’s that when the mind means the mental body is also connected with the soul. The mind is a special form of the soul. That’s why when the knowledge of the mind is done in the form of special knowledge of the soul, then this is the Vijnanamaya Kosha. Knowledge of the mind in the form of an ordinary and alien object is Manomaya Kosha. But when it is understood as one’s own form, then it is the Vijnanamaya Kosha. This is also our part or body attached to the main body, but it seems as if it is spread out in infinite directions and distances. Actually human being is like a flying kite. The mind is the flying colored paper, the feeling of its being attached to the body is the string, and the physical body is catching that string. As long as the string is there, the kite is safe, otherwise it will go astray and get destroyed. At one place I read written on the dashboard of the bus that the mind is like a parachute, it works well only when it is open. Perhaps this is the same what it means. In the scriptures, it has been said that instead of considering the mind as a visible or seen form, it has to be understood as a seer or own form. Witnessing is also the same, it is a simple and easy way of doing this. Even when the soul observes the mind being itself as a silent witness, the meditative image of the mind begins to manifest itself. This also proves that the mind is a special form of the soul, that means the mind is the form of vigyan. The mind exists only as long as it is considered external or alien. When it is understood as one’s own self, then it starts to dim. Self possessions are always undermined and other’s possessions seem better. Importance is for external or other things, not for one’s own thing or self. The mind is not destroyed in this self form, rather it becomes insignificant and slows down. This creates joy. The Kundalini image gets the extra power that the mind had taken in the earlier wandering state. This adds to the joy, because the Kundalini image remains for a long time and without any philosophical effort on the part of the man, it removes the extra fat from the wandering mind and sucks it, due to which the joy remains for a long time or even permanently in the far reached Kundalini Yogis. The light attitude of the mind is of Sattva guna. That’s why the mind-mixed darkness that arises due to the weakening of the mind is called satoguni avidya, as explained in the previous post. This is why there is joy in it. This is the blissful treasure. On the contrary, the complete destruction of the mind is tamogun, and when the mind is in full swing, and it seems to be real, it is rajogun. The darkness of ignorance associated with these is Tamoguni ignorance and Rajoguni ignorance respectively. In the first stage there is sorrow and in the second stage there is happiness, not joy or bliss. Happiness and sadness live with each other. Bliss is beyond happiness and sorrow, and always remains the same. Bliss can also be called a mixed form of happiness and sorrow, because in this both mind and darkness live together in equal balance. In Rajogun, the mind is very bright, with which there is no darkness at all, hence it is happiness. When the mind gets tired and sits down, then it becomes completely lifeless, due to which darkness envelops the brain. This is sadness. This is also the extreme mode of ignorance. The cycle of happiness and sorrow continues, due to which the soul is not purified. I did not know such a deep analysis of it at the time of my initial book, although such a practical experience was definitely there. In that I have written it in such a way that happiness arises only from non-attachment. What has been said is correct. With non-attachment the mind moves slowly. By the way, attachment is only towards others, not towards oneself. That’s why by considering the mind as the soul, non-attachment automatically arises. I had given there many examples of the principle of detachment. For example, pleasure is not derived directly from alcohol but from slowing down of the mind with it, which is a sign of non-attachment and sattva guna. Similarly, bliss is born not directly from meat-eating, but from non-attachment born of dispassion born of mortal intelligence towards the life arising from it. Many such examples were given. This effect is also created by Kundalini Yoga. Non-attachment that’s Advaita and Kundalini live together. That’s why with Kundaliniyoga, happiness arises when the Kundalini image stays in the mind. Therefore, Kundaliniyoga is like a metaphysical machine or technique or trick, which automatically creates its effect, avoiding the philosophical mess of detachment. I give my own example of this. I had done some developmental work by spending enough money. But due to some invariable reasons some of them were left out and some got lost. I regretted it and didn’t too, because walking is life. When a man keeps looking outside, then he is not satisfied with what he has. His own joy also vanishes from it. I started feeling disturbed. I learned Kundalini Yoga from somewhere and thought everything would be fine. Yoga returned my lost happiness, that too with interest. I also made a lot of spiritual progress. At that time its basic psychological principle was not known, but today it seems well known to me. Kundalini is a miraculous mental meditation image, which benefits in every way like an automatic machine. What happened that Kundalini took away the power of my lost mind. Due to this, my Manomaya Kosha changed with Kundalini to Vigyanmay Kosha. Vigyanmaya Kosh was transformed into Anandamaya Kosh. Due to the said developmental worldliness, my three primary koshas had developed a lot. By the way, with the help of Advaita, I was also developing Vigyanmaya Kosh and Anandamaya Kosh little bit along with them, but the rocket speed of the last two koshas was achieved only by Kundalini Yoga, due to which the so-called minor glimpse of Kundalini awakening was also received.

Kundalini Yoga as the Varaha avatar of Lord Vishnu mythological story

Friends, in the previous post I was sharing some spiritual secrets related to nose and Ida-pingala. I remembered a mythological story related to this, so thought that in this post, let’s try to make its yoga-based revelation. It is said that in the olden days, the demon Hiranyaksha stole the earth and hid it deep inside the ocean. Distressed by this, all the gods took Brahma along with them to Lord Vishnu and obtained a promise of help from him. Only then a small pig came out of Brahma’s nose. Actually Lord Vishnu had taken the form of that boar. As soon as he saw it, it grew up and entered the sea. There he saw the demon Hiranyaksha hiding in the depths and started fighting with him. In no time, he killed Hiranyaksha and by extending both his long and sharp edged molars one at each corner of mouth forward he picked up the earth along with the Vedas and balanced the round earth on them. Then he came over the ocean and he set the earth in place. Even then Lord Varah was not getting calm. Lord Shiva pacified him by taking an avatar.

Yoga based mystical analysis of Varaha Avatar story

By meditating on the nostrils and especially on the breath coming in and out of the nostrils, the rising energy shifts to the central line that’s in the way of the Sushumna Nadi. It is said that the boar came out through the exhaled breath going out of the nasika. By paying attention to the outgoing breath, the energy descends through the front channel, and penetrates all the chakras and reaches the Muladhara. This is Varaha’s going under the sea to reach Patal Lok. Even if Muladhara is considered as an ocean instead of Patal Lok, then the lowest rung of the ocean of the world is Muladhar, because the whole world is settled in different chakras. Probably it has been called sea because the reservoir of water in the form of semen comes under Muladhar area only, where shakti is hidden as subconscious mind. Hiranyaksha means ignorance in the form of duality. Hiranya means gold, Aksha means eye. The one who has respect for gold i.e. prosperity in his eyes, and behind it who is blinded by duality, he is Hiranyaksha. Due to this, Kundalini Shakti hides in the darkness of Mooladhara, that is, it sleeps. Means the shakti of the thoughts of the mind becomes unmanifested in the form of subconscious thoughts and gets buried in the base chakra. It’s the kundalini sleeping there. Along with that mental world, the Vedas also get buried in the Muladhar, because pure and sattvaguni or light-full conducts and thoughts are in the form of Vedas. After reaching Muladhar, shakti starts turning upwards passing through the back. Shakti prefers Ida and Pingala to rise, mostly try to rise through Ida Nadi, as there is less blockage in it. Sometimes the energy starts swinging alternately in Ida and Pingala for a few moments in each. In such a situation, by keeping attention on the Ajna Chakra also, the energy stays in the Sushumna too for a few moments in between. Ida and Pingala are shown metaphorically as the two sharp teeth on both sides of Varaha’s mouth. The Sushumna Nadi or Ajna Chakra is the round earth balanced on top of those two teeth. The chakra is also round like earth. Sushumna has been called earth because all the experiences of the world take place in the brain, nowhere outside, and energy is transmitted to the brain only through the Sushumna nadi. Varah is the Kundalini-Purush i.e. meditation image. This is the meditation of Lord Vishnu. Like Vishnu, he is also shown in quadrilateral form with conch, chakra, mace, padma, one thing in each hand. That is why it is said that Lord Vishnu incarnated in the form of a boar. The boar has been chosen for the metaphor because it is the boar that digs the ground in search of its shakti hidden in the form of food in the depths. That is why the earth is dear to the boar. That’s why he even enters the sea to bring it up. In order to get the sleeping or suppressed earth or shakti in the form of mind, he gropes and digs the muladhara and carries up it with the teeth in the form of Ida and Pingala channels. Then by balancing it in the form of Sushumna, it brings it out of the water that’s nadi or channel as it also flows like water, and restores it to its original place. Its real place is the Sahasrara of the brain, because that is the center of all experiences. Sushumna Nadi also goes directly from Muladhar to Sahasrar straight up. With this, the thoughts buried in the subconscious mind start coming back to experience, and starts merging into the blissful emptiness of the Self. Means cleansing happens. Means sleeping shakti in the form of subconscious thoughts starts waking up. This is Vipassana. Vipassana can be done in any part of the brain, except the Sahasrara, as it requires less energy. In Sahasrar, only the Kundalini picture is meditated upon, which is in the form of an idol or a Guru or a transcendental body etc. This picture feels almost like a real physical form with practice, that is why it takes much more energy than Vipassana. Although it happens in Sahasrara only, but due to less energy, it appears outside. The less energy a thought has, the further away it seems from the Sahasrara. By the way, the place of the soul has been described as Sahasrar. If someone starts awakening the image of a common man in Sahasrar, then he will reach him or her automatically while walking in his sleep at night. Then how will meditation happen? Then all the gods and sages are happy and praise Lord Varah with folded hands. Anyway, the purpose of all these is to remove the living beings from the beginning less suffering in the form of birth and death, which is only possible in the Sahasrar Chakra in the form of awakening, that is why they are happy. To pacify or kill the boar by Shivji means that Yogi left the fascination of Kundalini and became a non-dual Tantrik like Shiva. Anyway, the principle is that after the awakening of the Kundalini, the non-dual tantra is the supreme understanding, which Osho Maharaj also explains to the world in the form of one of his books, “tantra- a supreme understanding “..
