DESIRE and ATTACHMENT

Yesterday, I loved listening to Swami Tejomayananda, the GLobal Head of Chinmaya Mission. Few simple and intersting facts, were registered. In the Philosophy of Advaita, Adi Sankara clarifies - the characteristics of desire and attachment. If we persevere to achieve some object, it is called and said to be as DESIRE. After achieving the object, we develop possesiveness, which is nothing but Attachment (RAGA). Though simple, it means much more....

"R E A L I Z A T I O N"

1. SriHarim, the destroyer of Ignorance – During meditation, the field of relative levels (ignorance alone) gets fine tuned repeatedly to experience finer levels and which finally give rise to Eternal Bliss, the Transcendental State, the Supreme Consciousness, - Paramanandham. Therefore “SriHarim Paramanandam” brings out and refers to the state which Sankara had experienced in his deep transcendence, and which is possible and lively to everyone who seeks to reach him. Upon reaching this state, he realizes the guru within (Consciousness is the Guru which guides as a charioteer). This is what is explained here as “Upadheshtaram” (Upadheshta + Rm = One who Teaches, teacher). In a broader sense, it is the intelligence within, who creates, administers, maintains, and recreates the ever evolutionary process. This we call it as the “Natural Law”or “Ishwara”. This natural law is the law maintainer and is ever pervading and hence Sankara say’s “Vyapakam Sarva Lokanam”. And it is only with the support of this intelligence, the force of nature, the law of nature, the administrator, our action will constitute for a healthy future. It is how we act now, we become then, which means we are the cause of our own destiny, every moment depend on us. It is one’s own ignorance of the true nature, which fails to understand the true light and cause of everything around – to understand the truth behind all causes “karanam tham”. (Now referring to Maharishi’s quote “Man is the master of his destiny”). Therefore having realized this truth Sankara respectfully proclaims to bow down his head in deep gratitude for the ever pervading Easwara or natural law – “tham Namayaham” with whose grace he was able to realize this truth.

Knowledge Behind Bivashtakam - A Powerful Shiva Sthothram

There was a hunter by name Suswara, who used to hunt many animals and birds in the forest. This was his life style for everyday. He was born at VARANASI. One day he was chased by a hungry lion. The hunter unknowingly climbed a Bilva tree to save himself from the lion. He then had to wait the whole night to save himself from the Lion. Since he had to stay awake to avoid falling from the tree, the hunter kept plucking the leaves of the Bilva tree and dropping them below. The leaves fell on the Shiva Linga that happened to be located under the tree. Shiva was pleased by the offering of the Bilva leaves by the hunter, although unintentionally, and saved the hunter in spite of all the sin the hunter had committed by killing. This story emphasizes the auspiciousness of worshipping Shiva with Bilva leaves on Shivaratri.

The story above is an Parable or we may say as an allegory. Just as the hunter sought to kill wild animals, the spiritual seeker tries to transcend lust, anger, greed, infatuation, jealousy and hatred. The jungle mentioned denotes the mind where all these negativities roam about. A spiritual aspirant must kill these so referred "animals" to be free.

The name of the hunter - Suswara, itself has a hidden indication which means "one of melodious voice." Melody here indicates speech, with a level of mental purity.


Further to the above, as we knew that the hunter was born in Varanasi. Vara refers to the forehead while nasi is the nose. The point where both meet is Varanasi, in other words, the point midway between the eyebrows. This point is also called the ajna chakra and is regarded as a nexus of the three nadis: ida, pingala and sushumna. Gain of the energy at this level, A spiritual aspirant in his or her mind gains good concentration and gradual control over his senses. The killing of the animals thus indicates highest control over one's vasanas [latent tendencies].

The bilva tree corresponds to the spinal column. The tree's leaves are special: each stalk has three leaflets. The three leaflets represent the three nadis mentioned above. The climbing of the tree represents the ascent of the kundalini shakti (Maharishi Says that even without the knowing of the kundalini rising, the TM Siddhi meditator awakens the kundalini shakthi from the muladhara to the ajna chakra).

Keeping awake is symbolic of the kind of awareness and oneness of purpose that a spiritual aspirant needs to reach the goal. He cannot afford to be slack even for a moment.

Shiva is the Supreme Consciousness that illuminates the three states of waking, dreaming and deep sleep. Offering the threefold bilva leaves to the Shivalinga heralds the return to a level of consciousness beyond the three states, which is the fourth state, Transcendental State. The dawning of this state reflects the awakening of the individual to CC, GC and UC.

"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.

"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.

""After Death Mind Makes You"

There are laws that govern the survival of death. There are many different experiences that can (potentially) follow getting up in the morning. So also with death. What determines the experience? The experience is determined by what you have inherited in the deeper unconscious being as a result of your action (during those phases of your existence when you had the capability of bodily action). As I have said: While you are alive, you make mind--and, after you die, mind makes you.

By your action all the while--even now--you are putting things (so to speak) into the unconscious, the deeper personality, which is outside the grossly-orientated brain. You are enforcing and reinforcing patterns. You are patterning the deeper personality. You are (in some sense) indulging in what is there in the unconscious, but you are also adding to it. And, throughout your life, the unconscious is (in most cases) just that--unconscious. That is why you wonder whether you survive death--because you are not aware of the greater part.

When you die, the waking consciousness falls off, the physical falls off--and what was unconscious before (which is outside the grossly-oriented brain) is now who you are and where you are. It is a place. It is the mind-realm. This is what follows life. Death is by no means simply a doorway to heaven. What is on your mind now, when you lose physical attention? What kinds of thoughts do you have, what kinds of dreams do you have, what kinds of fears do you have? Whatever they are, they will make your experience after death. While you are alive, you have physical concentration and a brain that locks you away from the so-called unconscious. You have an opportunity while alive to purify yourself, but what is to be purified is outside the brain. You think it does not even exist--so you just indulge yourself in physical life, as if the physical exists for its own sake.The physical is not there for its own sake. It is there to help you purify the deeper being, the deeper personality--to the point where you can be Gracefully Awakened to That Which Transcends even the deeper personality. By your action all the while--even now--you are putting things (so to speak) into the unconscious, the deeper personality, which is outside the grossly-orientated brain.

Swami Bramhanand saraswathiji on "Invincibility"

I t is said that in September 1945, when the Second World War was over, newspaper reporters wanted to know the reaction of Shankaracharya Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath (Guru Dev). Allegedly he gave them the following statement, parts of which match other published quotations of Guru Dev:-

'Real victory is that, after which there can never be a reverse. Nobody can call himself a victor forever merely by crushing an external foe, because such foes can spring up again. A real victory is achieved by bringing under control the internal foes. A check over the internal enemies is therefore the only way of conquering the external enemies forever, because we should bear in mind that it is our own internal enemies which create the external enemies.These inner enemies are ambition, anger, greed, false attachment, vanity and jealousy. It is this hexagon sitting inside us which makes a cat's paw (duping) of anything in the outer world in order to create enemies for us. Therefore if anybody wants to enjoy peace and happiness through victory over all enemies, then he should raid the very source of all physical enemies - the subtle hexagon living in us. Destruction of enemies by root is not possible without breaking up this hexagon (ambition, anger, greed, false attachment, vanity and jealousy). This is axiomatic.

"Be without the three Gunas"

'Established in Yoga, O winner of wealth, perform actions….' In thesetwo verses, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, brings out the technique of TranscendentalMeditation for Self-realization.'Lord Krishna commands Arjuna,"Be without the three gunas"—be without activity, be your Self. This is resolute consciousness, the state ofabsolute Being, which is the ultimate cause of all causes. This state of consciousness brings harmony to the whole field of cause and effectand glorifies all life.'Maharishi goes on to describe Arjuna's condition, being faced with theconflicting emotions of love for his kinsmen and also his desire touphold righteousness and root out evil. Maharishi describes Lord Krishna's advice to transcend the field of multiplicity and experienceUnity, the Self, Transcendental Consciousness.Maharishi: 'Arjuna has a deep belief in dharma; his mind is clear about considerations of right and wrong. But the Lord asks him toabandon the whole field of right and wrong for the field of theTranscendent. There, established in a state beyond all duality, beyondthe influence of right and wrong, he will enjoy the absolute wisdom oflife, from which springs all knowledge of the relative world. And theLord says to Arjuna, "The field of that absolute wisdom is not outsideyou. You have not to go out anywhere to acquire it. It is within you.You have only to be within yourself, 'possessed of the Self', everfirm in purity of your Being."'From this experience of one's Self, verse 48 then instructs one to actfrom this Transcendental, Absolute foundation of life, 'Established inYoga, O winner of wealth, perform actions….' Maharishi explains thatthis is the state in which Transcendental Consciousness is stabilized,maintained all the time—enjoyed in activity and also in sleep.Maharishi: 'Yoga, or Union of the mind with the divine intelligence,begins when the mind gains Transcendental Consciousness; Yoga achievesmaturity when this Transcendental bliss-consciousness, or divineBeing, has gained ground in the mind to such an extent that, inwhatever state the mind finds itself, whether waking or sleeping, itremains established in the state of Being. It is to this state ofperfect enlightenment that the Lord refers in the beginning of theverse when He says: "Established in Yoga".'Maharishi continues, describing this state of bliss consciousness,where one perceives and lives Unity in the midst of diversity.Maharishi: 'The regular practice of Transcendental Meditation is thedirect way of rising to the state of Transcendental Being andstablilizing it in the very nature of the mind, so that irrespectiveof the mind's engagements in the conflicts inherent in the diversitiesof life, the structure of Unity in eternal freedom is naturallymaintained and life is not lost to itself.'

"Mahavathar Babaji - The Wandering Soul"

Dr Ram Bhosle, a ageing healer, a discliple of Mahavathar Babaji, who lives and works in Mumbai. He is a world-renowned massage therapist who has treated illustrious patients like Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, among others. He has witnessed almost the entire 20th century, traveling abroad 160 times. A freedom fighter, he had several arrest warrants issued against him by the British during Mahatma Gandhi's Quit India Movement and was forced to flee to the Himalayas. His escape route cut a long swathe across Maharashtra, Gujarat, Saurashtra, Sindh, Baluchistan, Afghanistan and the Hindu Kush mountains, before he finally reached the Himalayas.

In the 1950s, Babaji had set up an ashram in the Himalayan heights above Badrinath. He eventually closed it down. A true wanderer, he is not to be found in any one place, whether in the Himalayas or elsewhere. Yet he is very much amongst us, in Mumbai or Delhi, as much as he is in Badrikashram. He encourages disciples to strive for their highest destiny. Neither God nor an angel, Babaji is more like the atmik guru, or the inner light.
Dr Bhosle sounds a note of caution—the masters are suprahuman, beyond the frailties of emotion, and they demand total commitment to the chosen path. It is of greatest importance to follow the light with determination, discernment and detachment. The wise doctor concludes: "There is no such thing in this world as miracles. Everything happens through science. Only a person who doesn't understand science calls it a miracle."

"Invincible Defense Technology"

The Invincible Defense Technology is a proven, practical approach to world peace and national invincibility—an approach validated by more than 50 replications and 23 studies published in leading peer-reviewed scientific journals. It is a direct technological application of the most advanced discoveries in the fields of quantum mechanics, neuroscience, and human consciousness.
The approach calls for the immediate establishment of large national groups of peace-creating experts practicing specific “technologies of consciousness” that have been scientifically shown to neutralize acute ethnic, political, and religious tensions that fuel violence, terrorism, and social conflict. By defusing tensions and neutralizing animosity, this field-tested approach will immediately:
Defuse enmity in a potential adversary, thus preventing the birth of an enemy and the onset of war
Create coherent and harmonious national consciousness, strengthening the nation against any potentially disruptive influences from outside or within
Create a peaceful and cooperative global environment, conducive to the formation of stable governments and the cessation of hostilities in regional hot spots
Ensure lasting peace, security, and economic stability at home, relieving tremendous pressure on governmental departments and institutions charged with public safety and homeland security
The Invincible Defense Technology is the only approach that effectively targets the root cause of national, regional, and global conflict. It is the only approach to national security and world peace that is extensively field tested and backed by rigorous scientific research.
This Unified Field-based approach to defense generates a palpable, measurable effect of peace that creates a fertile environment in which diplomatic and other conventional approaches can actually succeed. It should be the central component of any comprehensive approach to peace and national security.

"Can we permanently stop terrorism and war?"

If 50 demonstration projects and 23 published scientific studies can be believed, the answer is Yes.

A group of few peace-creating experts were the only requisites.

This discovery is to all who love peace—and to all who wish to protect their nations against terrorism and war. Knowledge is power. The experiment is proven by the practicers of Transcendental Meditation.

To attain Transcendental Consciousness, each peace-creating expert is experienced in transcending—allowing the mind to settle down deep inside. The awareness becomes increasingly quiet—experiencing thought at increasingly subtle levels—until at last the mind transcends thought altogether. It remains wide-awake, but undisturbed by even the faintest activity of thought.This is a state of restful alertness, of inner peace—the experience of Transcendental Consciousness.

In the Vedic science of consciousness, the experience of Transcendental Consciousness is said to be profound. It allows the mind to experience the deepest level of its own intelligence, which is described as the deepest level of the intelligence displayed everywhere in nature—the unified field of all the laws of nature. The technology of transcending thus allows the individual mind to align itself with all the laws of nature at their source.

The goal is to empower people everywhere with knowledge that can be used to create peace worldwide—timeless knowledge about the power of consciousness as brought to light by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and validated thoroughly in scientific research.

This newly verified technology makes use of large groups of peace-creating experts. The inner peace generated by such a peace-creating group radiates into society as an influence of harmony and coherence. The effect can be easily measured as reduced crime, terrorism and war.
