Om Namaha Shivaya

The first day as Babaji entered the hall filled up with the usual brightness and His grace exploded throughout the hall. All the 9 days of the shivir were simply great and there is no doubt that Babaji's latest shivir is always the best, which indicates that rising energies with every shivir. This could be related well because the energies were much higher than the level 2 Shivir in Goa and that is one good reason why i could not take down much notes on the general teachings of Babaji. The sessions were deep and most of the time all felt 'lost' with every session that appeared to penetrate deeper.

This time Babaji also shared a recipe for BP, cholesterol and blood-related disorders. The other common teachings that have already been shared in the Gems are not repeated here. Also, the blog will not be posting much on higher sadhana shivirs, except if there are any common/general teachings. It is however recommended that you join the official community on Facebook that will be giving important teachings and messages that the institution deems right. Create a Facebook account if you do not have one, and to join the group click here.

Babaji on the last two days was full of joy when he demonstrated making the Pardeshwara Linga on the stage along with Sivamoorthyji. Both were seen to be lost in another world as they were engrossed in making the Linga. Babaji's joys were visible as he prepared it with the enthusiasm of a child building a castle :) Finally, the next day, from the moment the shiny Parad Linga came into Babaji's hands, he never kept it down and completed the rest of the shivir holding it; discoursing, healing, and singing like a bhakta holds on dearly to the idol of his ishta and singing to glory, being one with it.

Here are the few teachings that could be noted and also the recipe:

The thumb rules to indicate a sadhak is on the right path:

First thumb rule - Good health.

Second thumb rule - Emotional stability. If one does not have this, then one is not doing SV sadhana.

Third thumb rule - Wonderful relationships. If one is still having issues, then something is going wrong.

Fourth thumb rule - Prosperity. Prosperity must flow easily. One will not have to bother about finance. If one says that there are financial problems then he is deviating from sadhana.

A ShivYog sadhak has to first master his physical body (sthool shareer). This sthool shareer becomes Yog Shareer when the 7 chakras and 5 bodies are merged. And, when one has a Yog Shareer, there cannot be even an iota of disease but longevity.

I want all to attain that kind of longevity (kaya kalp). You will not find a ShivYog sadhak being hospitalized or being operated upon.

When you raise your vibrations many things happen. Your 3% DNA activates more and then you have the power to produce antidotes.

The process of transformation:

From the sthool shareer it transforms to Yog shareer, where all chakras and bodies merge. Then it transforms to Siddha shareer, where one acquires powers. Then it transforms to Naad shareer, that is made up of sound/mantra/naad/vibration. Then it transforms to Divya shareer, that is now made up of light.

Sthool Shareer => Yog Shareer => Siddha Shareer => Naad Shareer => Divya Shareer

Whatever you envision, reject what you don't want and accept only what you want and that will happen, because what you believe in - will materialize.

It is actually difficult and takes many years of hard work to create disturbance or problems in life but it takes only a moment of grace to heal that problem.

There are three paths of Rasa Vigyan:

Atma siddhi (becoming body of light)

Deh siddhi (longevity or kaya kalp)

Maya siddhi (turning mercury to gold)

The path I am teaching you is the first two.

There are four types of sadhaks:

Who have achieved everything in this world and now want spiritual growth.

Who have faced problems in life and now want to overcome problems and genuinely grow with sadhana.

Who want to cure little things like toothaches and headaches.

Who want to learn and brag around.

I am happy here we have the first two types.

Do not sell or buy a Pardeshwara Linga. This is because you cannot buy a baby. Pardeshwara Linga is a live Shiva. I want you to learn this and make it with your own hands. It is my wish that HAR HAR MAHADEV now become GHAR GHAR MAHADEV.

The science of Ras Vigyan and making the Pardeshwara Linga is sacred and bestowed to only those blessed to receive it. You will receive a lot of blessings when you make one yourself.

As you prepare a Pardeshwara Linga and the impurities are dissolved, it also dissolves your own physical bodies' impurities. That is why it has to be made with pure intentions and devotion. If someone makes it with impure consciousness then the karmic consequences passes on with the Linga. That is why I am asking not to buy or sell a Pardeshwara Linga.

The root cause of every problem in life is only these three:

Nonforgiveness.

Nonacceptance.

Hatred - towards community, religion, people, etc.

In Pratiprasav, you will see/experience from these three.

Every problem in life is due to impurities in oneself.

This is advait (nonduality) sadhana - sadhana of shoonya (nothingness) - sadhana of jyoti (light). Worship Him (pointing upwards) and worship nothing else.

Somebody (pointing to Himself) who has become one with Him has only come to connect you to Him. No human worship. No other God/deity worship. Everything has come from Him.

A Guru becomes the Guru when he merges with Shiva, so worship Shiva not the Guru. The Guru has merged with Him. Everything is there in the Shree Chakra. Keeping a Guru's photo separately means that you are agreeing that He has not become one with Shiva.

Certainly, you offer gratitude to the Guru but worship only the one with whom he has merged - Shiva. That is why (charan) padukas are used as a symbol of gratitude to the feet that walked on the path, which now you are walking, following his footsteps. This is all symbolic and this must enter into your heart.

Use Paduka and not the photo of the Guru with the Meru and Paradalinga. Do not keep the guru's photo in your pooja/meditation room. If you like your guru, you may use his image in other rooms but not in the pooja/meditation room.

The paduka has to be kept a step lower than the Meru/Linga.

Babaji joked - "Are you with me? Or have you gone into deep meditation. If you have gone into meditation, then - slowly come back, move your fingers, rub your palms and open your eyes."

Do not try to bypass anything and become lazy. When you say you have detached see what you have achieved first that you can detach with. You cannot bypass anything and reach shoonya.

Being a butter egg do not try to fly like a butterfly. First come out of the egg, then the larva, then pupa, then caterpillar, and then only the butterfly.

Have no ego. One is not able to release because of the ego. The more humble you become, the more you will grow.

Ego and laziness are the two diseases on the path that you should get infected by.

Before attempting to become God, first become a human being. Write the first thing in your Golden Book - "I am a human being."

In Maa Shakti are the three forms - Mahakali (power), Mahasaraswati (wisdom) and Mahalaxmi (wealth). Wealth is not bad, but how it comes and how it goes from your hands is what matters.

One does not see the world the way it is but sees it the way one is.

You become what you think about all day long.

The three major granthis -

Bramha granthi - Ignorance of the body.

Vishnu granthi - Emotional impurity, ego.

Rudra granthi - Spiritual ego, the "I".

Three things to break the Rudra granthi - sadhana/seva/sankirtan

After doing SV sadhana don't run behind gods/dieties. Worship only Shiva/Shakti because that is the ultimate sadhana.

People instead of writing in their Golden Books, write to me letters of miseries that is opposite to what they want.

I receive a lot of letters on sickness which are all foolish letters. I pray to God to make such persons worthy of SV sadhana.

Don't do SV sadhana and remain in manipulative ways in the world, being untruthful, with ego and other petty things.

I can assure you that if you regularly practice SV sadhana, all your sufferings will go, but there should not be ego but only pure intentions. I have seen a few sadhaks leaving the practice, being picked up by devilish energies because they had ego.

The sookshma shareer (subtle body) is made up of 17 elements:

5 karmendriyas (motor faculties or the organs of action)

5 jnanendriyas (sensory faculties or the sense organs)

Good/bad health is due to the causal body (kaaran shareer). You have to reach a level where the sookshma shareer (subtle body) merges into the kaaran shareer (causal body).

When a SV sadhak does a lot of sadhana, the subtle body is purified and there the causal body merges with the subtle body and is connected to thoughts. This is when that when one speaks it becomes true. Thus the mind becomes a cosmic mind.

All religions are taught by self-realized souls, so respect all religions.

If you have harmed somebody please repay back by sending positive energies; no ego.

Higher level deeksha energies are very high energies which you will not be able to tolerate. So you will have to practice what i am giving you. Until you are ready, I do not want to hurry with higher deekshas. Practice, purify. Only those who are regularly practicing SV sadhana will be able to do higher levels because the energy levels get more intense and intolerable with higher deekshas.

Never do any higher level sadhana of Shree Vidya in groups, even in family. Do individually only because these are very sacred sadhanas. For group meditation, you may do the Bala Tripurasundari one.

Treat this sadhana and what you get more precious than your life.

Make some habits about food:

Take simple food everyday. The most scientific food is the South Indian food comprising of the rice and sambhar.

Avoid junk food as they have lesser life force energies.

Avoid variety in food; don't eat many things at one time.

As much as possible eat raw food, atleast 20%.

Audumbar fruit (figs) is very good.

Babaji joked about once being in a hotel and given a list of trendy foods. Baba said, "Who knows what they do to the food? When they do not know what they do to the food, the food will not know what it is going to do to me." :D

Bilva patra, tulsi, pudina, neem, dhathura were my food when i used to travel for long periods.

If you want to go into deep sadhana eat simple and less food.

How to know which food is best? The food that takes lesser time to cook is the best food.

The food cooked and consumed within one hour is Tejomaya food. The food which is consumed after 5-6 hours has decreased life force energy.

Avoid astra-prahaar (cutting food). A fruit that is rather broken by hand or wood retains its life force energies. A cucumber that is broken by hand or wood can never turn bitter.

When the food is cooked on cowdung cakes, the food energy becomes enormous.

Microwave food is not slow poison but immediate poison! The heating process happens by destroying atoms. (read more facts)

In 2012 the energy is going to increase enormously and there are changes that electricity may not work since the electrons will not be able to tolerate the high energies of the photon belt.

Earth is entering into the 4th dimension that has much higher frequencies than the 3rd dimension.

Anything that produces negative energy will vanish.

Those who are moving and growing will have lot of opportunities to spiritual growth.

People often mention that depression and pain is a normal part of spirituality. When the Guru makes you do sadhana, it is the halahal vish (deadly poisons) that comes out and this should not be misinterpretted with depression/pain.

When the ego comes up, the spirituality goes down.

Growing up spiritually is a fast process but so is going down with ego; it can nose-dive. The subtlest of ego can bring you to the grossest level.

Ego remains both at gross and subtle levels till realization or shoonya level. Babaji then told how the vices persist subtly at different levels:

Sthool Shareer === > Kaam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh, Ahankaar

Yog Shareer =====> Kaam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh, Ahankaar

Siddha Shareer == > Moh, Ahankaar

Mantra Shareer ===> Ahankaar

Divya Shareer ====> None

When the mind merges with the soul, ego disappears - this is the stage of self-realization.

Masters have said that you should not have desires but that is after one has reached that stage where there can be no desire. Desire can cease to exist only when you reach the final stage of ascension. So you need to seek and desire till you reach that stage where you have no desires. So, I always ask "Tum Chahte Kya Ho?" but I never ask "Tum Chahthe KyonHo?"

Always have shraddha (faith) and bhakti (devotion) on the Divine.

You can keep photos or name stickers between two Mahamruthunjaya yantras for healing, litigation, etc. They can also be used in cars, kitchen, grain vessels, etc. You can keep photo or name stickers between two Shree Yantras for abundance and safety. Do not crowd it with many photos. One photo/name per two yantras. You can also stick name stickers on each chakra card that will activate the healing of that chakra.

You have to learn the difference between love and caring love. A monkey loved a little kitten so much that it carried it everywhere keeping it tightly hugged all the time. The kitten was hungry and thirsty but the monkey loved it so much that it held it close to itself. The kitten was suffocated but the monkey had so much of love for it that it kept it tightly hugged. The kitten died. This is not love. Love should be love with care.
