spiritual path

In my lataest newsletter i have mentioned about a book about nissargadatta maharaj titled "you are that" ,whereas the correct title of the book is "i am that " so,pl take note of this correction .

Most important thing to note about Indian spiritual Masters is that none of them have written books themselves ,but others have writeen books ABOUT them- that is the beauty about the culture and the total dispassion of the masters to write about them, or market themselves or force their teachings on anyone. Osho never wrote a single word himself but 650 books were written about him. Neem karoli baba never wrote anything but then there was Ramdas who wrote about him. The entire spiritual text material of vedas and upanishadas available today was never written by the original creator but SPOKEN by them and later on passed down through the desciples of these rishis and after many years it was given  the form of a text.

Swami vivekananda ,swami shivananda ,shankaracharya did write themselves -these are the few exceptions.

This is a beautiful story about my son's motorbyke "suzuki". He has this byke and he parks it on the street at berkely CA and he just covers it up with a sheet which is not a proper cover. Three days back inthe morning he saw a box lying on top of his mo-bike with a note saying ' friend,i have two good qulaity covers so i am leaving one cover for your bike as i am also a SUZUKI loyalist! My son was amzed at this gesture of true giving ! he immediately put the new best quality cover on his bike and put a thanks note with a request to meet and a small gift on the byke so that this anonymus "giver' would pick it up ! This is an example of unconditional giving, this is service to humanity (seva in true sense)you simply give what you have in excess to those who can use it,it can be anything -just give!

This happened while i was at Ujjain , one of the holiest cities of India ,it has lord shivas biggest temple called MAHAKALA , mother goddess harisiddhi ma 's temple, Sandipanimuni's ashram where lord KRISHNA got his childhood education ,and bhriturhar's cave (baba gorakhnathji's desciple).

i had a group of 8 people with me and the moment i entered the cave of bhruturhari where he meditated for 12 years ,i started felling the vibes, and then we all sat down in the other cave from where he used to go and visit four temples of india in a single night through his astral body (sukshma sharir) . I immediately went into SAMADHI for 25 minitues , my eyes never blinked and iwas still like a corpse (that is what my group told me afterwards) then while in samadhi ,i heard the voice of Baba Gorakhnath telling me that the OUM sound (nada brahma) is resonating in your heart and let everyone listen to it, so i pulled every one ,all six of them to my heart (physical heart) and they all heard the chanting of OUM in my heart. I came out of Samadhi thereafter.(2 members of my group missed this divine experience which was also initiation -shaktipat, as they were in other area of the cave.).so divine!

on the 19th may05 evening i was writing in my journal and all of a sudden i am made to close my eyes and what do i see! Lord Krishna in the form of a baby -bal krishna as known in India. What a blessing! He is just looking at the floor and at me and gives me the most enchanting smile i have ever seen! He does not get up ,he walks on all four like a small baby ,and stops he is wearing a gold band on his head and a single peacock feather stuck into his head band.This divine sakshatkara(direct experience of god) lasted for three minutes and then i was made to open my eyes , time was around 6.30pm. I feel blessed.
Jay Shree Krishna!

let the premordial eternal sound take you deep within in this meditation, so that all that surround you is OUM ,you start with deep breathing and bring your awareness to your breath and are now loosing the sence of time and space .Every intake of breath is taking you deep within and every out breath is through your third eye center and that breath is bringing the oum out through your third eye with great force followed by number of oums and then you are getting completely covered by these oums and then you are getting one with the divine.you remain like that in that blissful state for long and you do not know how long and then your consciousness slowly and beautifully brings you back! Back to this so called Reality!
god bless you.
Jai Gurudev
