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.

""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.
