"Are You Enlightened ?"

Our Goal is this...just this....and nothing more to achieve than this revealed below...Find out if in you,any of the following quality is raising...
"He who hates no creature, and is friendly and compassionate towards all",

"who is free from the feelings of 'I and mine,' even-minded in pain and pleasure, forbearing, ever content, steady in meditation, self-controlled, and possessed of firm conviction"

"He by whom the world is not agitated and who cannot be agitated by the world, who is freed from joy, envy, fear and anxiety"

"He who is free from dependence, who is pure, prompt, unconcerned, untroubled, renouncing every undertaking"

"He who neither rejoices, nor hates, nor grieves, nor desires, renouncing good and evil, full of devotion"

"He who is the same to friend and foe, and also in honour and dishonour; who is the same in heat and cold, and in pleasure and pain; who is free from attachment; to whom censure and praise are equal; who is silent, content with anything, homeless, steady-minded, full of devotion"

"Seeing the Lord equally existent everywhere, he injures not Self by self, and so goes to the highest Goal."

is dear to me!

"Unfathomable is the Course of any Action"

Success and failures are two phases of life. When we are successful, we believe that we are responsible for it. When we face failures, we believe that we are not responsible for it. To my knowledge, we should accept honestly that whether it is a success or failure, we actually do not know whoever is responsible for the result. It could be somettimes "me alone" or it could be the "team's collective effort"...and so on...

Because "Unfathomable is the course of any action". We seldom understand the result of any of our action (success or failure). But one thing is possible for all of us to do and that is plan our action...in tune with the natural law...the constitution of the natural law. If we are efficient enough to bring the experience of the nature in the course of our action, it is believed that our efforts will never go wrong. Now, when we analyse deep and also with the help of our scriptures we understand that "the nature of the almighty is bliss" and by the experience of many enlightened souls, it is understood that the bliss is available in abundance in the state of the least traces of creation. Hence, we further understand that if we could bring the experience of the bliss in our day to day life, we could execute all our actions in tune with the nature of bliss. And thereby all our actions will be in tune with the constitution of natural law. The actions then will be automatically free from mistakes. Because with a stressful mind, it is more difficult to execute a stressless, perfect and good action. It is only possible to execute such actions with a pure and blissful mind, which is the mind of an enlightened soul.Therefore it is first necessary for us to bring ourselves to a platform of purity and bliss.

There is nothing wrong in following a code of conduct.As we know the proverb "Something is better than nothing". But what we require is to sharpen our mind and intellect to follow the good code of conducts, more precisely and profoundly. And to do this, all we require is an exercise to keep our mind and body profoundly precise in order to execute all the right course of actions but, spontaneously. And for this, all we have to do is practice of Transcendental Meditation with TM Siddhi, regularly twice a day. This gives the experiencer to act spontaneously in attune with the natural law.

Jai Guru Dev,

"Death of the Death"

Amarnath Yathra, has become a memorable one for most of us. We had an opportunity to strongly believe the divine presence of the natural law. We understood the omnipresence of Shri GuruDev and Shri Maharishji. What more to add? Those moments are still vivid.



Right from the day we started to plan, six months back of planning to Badrinath and Kedarnath, the neck of the moment shifted all our decisions to Amarnath. As it was purely the clariant call of Amarnath the manifestation himself. It striked all of us to confirm the visit, only when we further heard Maharishiji glorifying the significance of Shrine Amarnath.



It seemed that the entire journey was preplanned and designed for all of us, by some set of experienced souls(Gurudev and Maharshi), who should have had a very strong Vedic Engineering background. I am talking about the Mahatma's, living there. Otherwise we would have got diverted routes. Certain experiences are very difficult to share even by words, because we may not be doing full justice to the almighty. Therefore we keep them within our boundaries of experience.

Infact, Everyone in the tour had experienced deep insights, divine presence, surprise visits, or whatever more supporting words you could add.



We were all guided unconditionally at every steps. Sometimes men came to our rescue. Sometimes, even Trains came to our need. These experiences had brought us out to a conviction that, God is present in the living and as well present in the non living. He is inseperable.



The trip had added and flavoured all our participants for a better future, for a different experience and for understanding the "miracles". We have all known the word Amarnath theoretically, but now after visiting the shrine, we have all experienced it practically.



All Glory to Amarnathji,

All Glory to the Almighty,

All Glory to Guru Dev,

All Glory to Maharishiji,

All Glory to the Real, Enlightened Mahatmas.

"Self Referral Consciousness"

H.H.Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, used to quote very often " The quality of Control is possible only for strong minds, because weak minds, trying to control,result in more stress." Therefore first it is necessary for us to develop and enhance to lead ourselves to a platform, from where the control of anything becomes very easy, very natural and spontaneous.

Scientific researches had reported that people practising Transcendental Meditation and TM Siddhi throughout and until today had shown positive outcomes. Meditators naturally tend to overcome their wrong attitudes and behaviours.

"When there is darkness around you, instead of searching for anything else,first you have to do is to lit a lamp, as then your search becomes easy and simple" - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

"Thraigunya vishayo veda, Nisthraigunyo Bhavarjuna,"
When you understand this above verse, extracted from Bhagavat Gita - Chapter 2 verse 45, we understand that all our actions are the permutation combination of the three gunas (Rajas, Tamo and Sathva). Therefore, we should lead ourselves to that field, where there is no binding influence of any of the three gunas, and that field is the unified field(according to quantum physics) the transcendental field (in the vedic terms), the self of everyone, which lies within. We should all without wasting our time, should learn to meditate in such a way,by which we learn to stay and experience the transcendental field for a good long time and by which we develop a way to bring our mind to experience the field, free from the influence of the gunas, evoid of dualities, which would further get infused with the mind and then get expressed into a perfect (any)activity, - "Yogasthah Kuru Karmani" - which means that "Perform your action, in the state of yoga"
Instead of this abovesaid, whatever we say, however we struggle, it is impossible for anyone to control and change our attitudes which is at the level of mere thinking.

Maybe all that we say, could be nice to share but in reality unless and until one spends time in the practice, it is all in vain. Transcendental Mediation and TM Siddhi is such a method which leads our mind to experience, the subtler and subtler layers,until the mind at a stage, transcends itself, the experiences of the subtlest, the field of the source of the creations. At this level, we experience the consciousness itself and nothing else. Maharishi used to refer this stage as the "Self referral consciousness".

Absolute Words uttered once never changes

Beautiful it is, and it was, when recollected, the voice of Swami Vivekananda which was heard yesterday night. It would have been a childhood dream for any spiritual seeker of my cadre for the same. Infact, my spiritual journey was lighted by this very master. I still remember my childhood days with my uncle and grandma, who used to take me to the kali temple (dhakshineshwar) and Vivekananda ashram temple at Belur Mutt. I used to stare at the unknown personality, for long minutes, used to sit at the belur mutt for hours together, until the dominant, elderly call would come to me to take leave.The book that created a change in my thinking was the book gifted to me by my uncle. The title of the book was "The power Of mind' written by swami vivekananda. However the language were so high sounding, but I somehow understood the language with the help of dictionary. This was sometime during 1986 or 1987. I somehow loved the solitude at Belur Mutt right from that time onwards, but I never knew that it was inborn until I had experienced it by the practice as given by H.H.Maharishji. I never knew that, I would be pulled into the ocean of spiritual science, after such unexpected chain of incidents. I remember that I have really thought for a while earlier, to hear the voice of swami Vivekananda. Now after hearing him, I think that the proverb should be actually re-understood or re-told, atleast after considering his speech, that his voice is mightier than the sword or a pen. His expressions were so piercing that even without understanding the utterances; it would be possible for anybody to conceive the truth present in them.


What a great master he was, during those times. What a dominant voice he had. Really awesome..really awesome.

After hearing this, something strongly seemed to have notified me. It made me to think for a while about the remarkable eternal plan of the supreme energies to come back for the benefit of mankinds. Swami Vivekananda's vision seemed to be strategically accomplished by Sri Maharishi Mahesh Yogiji. We may call it as a Co-incidence or the will of God. Whatever may be the expressions, we are witnessing its continuity. What great masters are being witnessed in India? What a mix of spiritual intelligence? What heights they had reached? Great God…Great God…Highly divine…incomparable….What energy they have had? ….what unique methods they have adapted? What expressions they have embedded. Let us be proud to be born in this land of the Veda, as Maharishiji used to express the greatness of India very often….Jai guru Dev, All Glory to Gurudev, All Glory to the real masters of the Vedic Parampara.

Jai Guru Dev,

MAYA - the magic word

We happened to have a beautiful discussion today at the Maharishi garden. The topic was on "MAYA". Maharishi often used to refer to state of nothingness from which everything else arises. The quality of misunderstanding this state of nothingness as nothingness alone and misconceiving the quality of potentially latent memories and emergence of everything in a nutshell is referred to as "MAYA". The perceiver of this process, where he believes something, perhaps a part of which and is not aware of the rest is incomplete and fragmented is as well "Ignorant".The Knowledge is the sword that cuts aside ignorance.Knowledge is that which eradicates the concept of MAYA from the seer or perciever. He becomes pure and clearer like that of the clear water being filtered and obtained from muddy water. His knowledge of truth and reality gets more and more refined and results in pure thinking, which is the thinking, devoid of MAYA(that which is not). He sees the reality,the reality alone and he is free from duality, free from wrong perception and hence he detaches himself spontaneously from the experience of MAYA. He understands that he is not what he had percieved to be but he is beyond the vision of perceptions. He finds himself being hidden from different states and surface levels of consciousness - the waking, dreaming and sleeping states of consciousness and he understands his true nature which is nothing but the very self, the transcendental self.

Maharishiji on Madhuchandas

The other day I was listening to the commentary of Maharishiji on Madhuchandas. The expressions were so profound, so unique as it was even difficult to translate it or to re-express it in the same language. It seemed as if the energy was talking to us on its own reality. It provided deep insight between cosmic being and individual being. It explained the difference between the rishi, devatas and chandas. It enumerated the significant meaning of unmanifestations and manifestations. It was awesome. Fortunate are those who would listened to this wonderful discourse of Maharishji.

Vehicle that takes Beyond perceptions - TM

When TM or TM Sidhi, practiced regularly, we are at ease and we should never get hurdles in life.This is a serious statement. By our own experience,it is understood that the hurdles come and it goes, it has no permanant existence with us.And to establish this thought we need to experience a permanant state of peace within us everytime and everyday. But the state of peace to reside permanantly within us, we have to desire for this possession of the transcendental state in our mind.The desire here has to be closely associated with the practice.Mere desiring is not going to take us to that level of purity.Whether we like or dislike the pratice is necessary twice a day, just like we take medicine(whether we like it or not, we take it for the regaining of the health) The nature support is required only to help us to maintain the state of singularity of thought, the state of yoga, the state of transcendence - we may call it as we like. And when we do the practice regularly, the nature will certainly be harmonized and would automatically help us in all our endeavours.

To be more simple and precise let us understand what Maharishi often used to say "whatever is inside, it has to come outside and that is natural". Here by practicing TM Sidhi, we nurture and nourish our inner latent qualities of stresses and strains (subtle form of hurdles) and then glorify them.

By regular practice of TM (twice a day), it is possibe to wipe off all that is accumulated within us which had been responsible to percieve some experiences as "hurdles" in the day to day life. Gradually when we practice TM sidhi, the intentions becomes more refined, the thoughts becomes more nourished, the mind experiences pureness, the intellect becomes highly resolute and then we stop experiencing hurdles as hurdles and then we start experiencing bliss and happiness thoughout life.We also share it vibrantly with others.

Let us be constantly aware of the works of the mind.It is never permanant.Infact although we all know this, but still we get the feeling of hurdles just because of our own immaturity in understanding the play of mind and intellect and the lack of the experience of the absolute "Atma". It is therefore, by dedicated practice of TM and TM Siddhi,we gain a very profound experience of the "Atma" (by day to day pratice) and it is a very easy possibility to come out of any such difficulties in life.

Silence - the true knowledge

It is definitely a very long time since I had shared my views in this blog. It was a certainly "gap of silence". It is a great moment that Sri Maharishi Mahesh Yogi had merged cosmically. He is now eternal and omnipresent. He is and was a unique star in the stars of the galaxy. Although staying far and away from him,during his physical stay in his body, he had enlivened my every thought from the level of right and wrong to the level of "above" right and wrong. His knowledge was perceived in summary so that we may find fulfillment intellectually in this age of kali. It seemed that consciously Maharishi had given me the knowledge with a very deep insight and blende of experiencing and understanding the tanmatras, the essence of senses. His knowledge is prevalent in every aspect of my expression. He had worked his knowledge on me. It is not a spell, but it is the bliss, the feeling, the expression and what not. His knowledge is uncomparable, even bright than the sun. His vision is unbounded even greater than the galaxy. His Expressions are unexpressable,ofcourse very deep but very simple. His mission were vivid, free from duality(nirdwandam). Truly he is a living embodiment of the universal knowledge. His reach to the knowledge was lively. Due to his influence, My cognition is changing today. My perception is getting distant from false impressions. My Ego is getting glorified. My understanding is getting fulfilled. My thoughts are getting refined. My Nervous system is now losing fear and hatredness. My intellect is getting nurtured and nourished. My mind is close to fulfillment, nearing the light of God. My senses are finding values in creations. My body is becoming as light and as powerful as cosmic. I am happy that I have understood every value and grain of creation.

All glory to Guru Dev
All GLory to Maharishiji
All GLory to ALmighty

Jai Guru Dev.
