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

"Devraha Baba" - About Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Devraha Baba
Devraha Baba was a great saint of India who passed away in 1991. So elderly was he that the President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, more than fifty years ago said that his father had sat at the feet of Devraha Baba as a child - that is, in the middle of the nineteenth century - and Devraha Baba was already elderly at that time. An Allahabad High Court Barrister told Purusha visiting there that seven generations of his family had sat at the feet of Devraha Baba.
In 1982, a group of Purusha visited Devraha Baba at the Aardh Kumbha Mela, in Hardwar. In front of all the people attending his talk, the Purusha introduced themselves as being from Maharishi. Devraha Baba replied, "Maharishi is very dear to me." After saying some other very nice things about Maharishi, he started throwing fruit to the Purusha. That was his way of giving blessings. He did three rounds of fruit-throws to them, which they were told was very special.
In 1989 another group of Purusha visited Devraha Baba at the Kumbha Mehla in Allahabad, where he was residing on a raised platform above the sand banks near the Sangam. The Purusha were with Devraha Baba when he saw a long line of yellow-clad young Vedic Pandits coming across the sands towards him chanting the Veda, sent by Maharishi to greet India's eldest saint.
When he saw them, Devraha Baba suddenly put his hands across his heart and said passionately, "Maharishi has revived the whole Vedic tradition!"
At the Kumbha Mela in 2001, the devotees of Devraha Baba told our Purusha how Devraha Baba would often say that there is a Gyan Yuga coming in the midst of Kali Yuga, starting from a transition period from 2000 to 2020, and that His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is the one creating it!

"Living the benefits"
iveScientific research on the Transcendental Meditation program proves that the technique works. Positive reports from people who practice the technique show that anyone can learn and enjoy it. But what’s most important is that you begin to experience the benefits in your own life.
There’s an old saying, “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” The best proof of the Transcendental Meditation program is in learning it yourself. The benefits come naturally and spontaneously. You don’t have to try to achieve them. Just meditate comfortably twice a day, and they will come.
It’s like watering the root of a tree and watching all the leaves, flowers, and fruit flourish. Day by day, you’ll enjoy a clearer mind, better health, more harmonious relationships, and success without stress. And you’ll contribute to a peaceful world.
