Shivyog World

Namah Shivay.

Very happy to present the Gems from the recently concluded Shivyog Sri Vidya Level 3, Goa Shivir. Drink the Nectar flowed by Babaji by reading these text and be Blessed!

Day 1
Have Alp Bhojan.
– Babaji told that food must be ingested only and only when hungry and in a proportion such that it is lesser than the total eating capacity. The pran or life force energy which streams through the astral body or pran shareer is perturbed or enhanced depending on the food we intake. So eat natural food such as raw fruits and vegetables and if cooked food is to be had, it must be consumed within two hours of its preparation. Just as food is to be had frugally, speaking must be also be restricted. Utter sparingly and only when necessary. Talking and blabbering without an end and uselessly dissipates the positive energy created through sadhna. Always utter positivity and create happiness.

– Body is a “Beej”. When the Seed drops its attachment then only can it transform itself into a Tree. Rise above Body consiousness. Know yourself. Your energy must flow in only 1 direction. It is only then that Material and Spiritual pleasures/growth can be attained. Keep no doubts in the mind and channel your energy in one direction – Positive/Happiness.

– Remember, ‘Word’ (Shabad) is Ultimate and thus donot even say negative things in jest.

– the Sri Vidya Mantra you are getting, consider it as ‘Name Wealth’ (Naam Dhan). Lucky are You all that you are becoming the Possessor of this Rare, Ultimate & Infinite Wealth. Settle this Mantra in your breath. Seed it in every cell, every atom of your body. Then Atma Shakshatkar (Self Realization) will not be difficult.

– Ma Lalita Tripusundari who is the presiding Goddess of the Shree Vidya mantra is worshipped by All Holy Saints and Siddhas from whom we derive our blessings and who are our source of spiritual guidance.

– Establishing Her mantra in our breath will help us tread on the path of divine beings of the kind of Avdhoot Baba Shivanand ji.

– Stretch and sweat: Exercise daily. Perform physical activity and induce sweat in your body. Also don’t forget pran kriyas.

– Howsoever unpleasant it may seem and whatever be your frame, jog daily. This was what Baba ji prescribed for all sadhaks as a means to induce sweat to open up the body.

– There are 3 Granthis in your Sushumna. Sanchit Karma’s and Bad Sanskars get stuck in this Granthis. Guru opens up the Brahma Granthi and Vishnu is left for the Sadhak to open. These are steps towards Moksha and bring Sharaddha within you and towards your sadhana and you will see that in no time, these granthis will start dissolving.

– Drop the Fight and Flight tendency. This Animal Tendency is the reason for your downfall.Don’t fight and don’t bring Ego no matter what the other fellow is upto.

Baba ji also told all the sadhaks that those who create noise/shouting during meditations would not be entertained because after doing regular Shree Vidya 2, sufficient purity level that is attained by a sadhak and which is enough for such ugra kriyas to not take shape. He exhorted all sadhaks to do sadhna daily so that all impurities are purged.

Day 2—Highlights

On a day when a rare celestial event as Venus transit unfolded up in the sky, Baba ji too unravelled some rare wisdom down on Earth. The nub of the 2nd day’s proceedings at Goa was that servants,helps,maids and cooks or nannies that have become prevalent in our culture must be done away with. Any person who cooks for you, who tends to your bed and belongings, leaves his energy in them. Children, till 5 years are very impressionable and during this period if left at the mercy of nannies and helps, will inculcate the sanskaras, etiquettes, tendencies and dispositions of the nannies and helps. So parents, particularly mothers must realise that the onus of fostering their positive energy, their unconditional love and sowing the seeds of good conduct lies solely on their shoulders and not on maids. Baba ji also said that a mother’s touch to her child till 3 years is enough to transfer mounds of information.

• “हर मनुष्य का पहला गुरू उसकी माँ होती है| अतः हर माता को अपनी संतान के प्रति responsibility समझनी चाहिए| Responsibility अपनी संतान को ब्रहंचार्य आश्रम में शिक्षा , ज्ञान, पोषण , संस्कार, अच्छा निर्देशन पर्याप्त साधन इत्यादि देने की|”

• Food made and served in such a manner by the woman of the house will accrue benefits unseen on the health of the family members.
• “घर में किसी भी कार्य के लिए नौकर इत्यादि ना रखें| बर्तन धोने के लिए फिर भी छूट ले सकते हैं पर इन कार्यों के लिए परिवार के सदस्यों का ही चयन करें:
• १. खाना बनाने के लिए: भोजन में भोजन बनाने वाले का भाव और ऊर्जा आ जाती है इसीलिए मंत्र जाप करते हुए घर की स्त्री भोजन बनाए और भाव यह रखे की इस भोजन को खाने वाला तृप्ति पाए,खुशी पाए और प्राण शक्ति में वृद्धि पाए|
• २. खाना परोसने के लिए३. पलंग ठीक करने के लिए४. घर की चीज़ों को साफ करने के लिए५. बच्चों की देख रेख के लिए”The mere presence of and touch of a person is a means of transfer of energy and so if impressionable kids under 5 years of age are left at the mercy of maids, the children will inculcate and imbibe in themselves the qualities of the caretaker maid.When a mother lovingly touches her child, what she is doing apart from the obvious is transfer the seeds of unconditional love, good energy and positive vibrations which a maid can’t ever do since the latter is not biologically and etherically connected to the child and love of the motherly kind can never emanate from her. Touch is also a way of communication.

             The “nanny culture” must cease sooner than later.

“जब भी तुम किसी और के बनाए हुए भोजन का पान करते हो तो उसके आभारी और कर्ज़दार हो जाते हो| भोजन पकाने वाले को धन्यवाद प्रकट करने के साथ साथ प्रेम भी देना और किसी भी प्रकार की सेवा कभी भी देने से मुकरना नहीं|किसी को खाना खिलाना एक बहुत बड़ा सौभाग्य है जिससे कार्मिक लेन-देन झट से पूरे होते हैं|

“Reaction to any incident is governed by your accumulated karmas. So if there is impurity, there will be an inclination to feel irritated,angry,jealous,whining etc. Burn the negative karmas so that you can react happily in every situation of life.

“संचित कर्म और इकट्ठे करने से बचना है तो दृष्टभाव लाना अपने भीतर| हर स्थिति में आनंद हो| ना ज़्यादा उत्तेजित ना ज़्यादा हताश|  सम-भाव रखना और सब भोले बाबा पर छोड़ देना| भावना शुद्ध रखना, मन निर्मल रखना, श्री विद्या साधना करते रहना और विश्वास रखना की जो भी तुम्हारे साथ घटित होगा, अच्छा ही होगा|”

“सांसारिक प्रपंचों में नहीं अटकना|  किसी से सम्मोहित नहीं होना|”

•  Baba ji also dwelt on the fact that infatuation and attachment to fellow humans, worldly objects and desires brings about downfall and hence one must dispense with them. Attention must at all times must be on the Supreme father—Shiva.

• “सभी को अनंत प्रेम करना| इससे कहीं फसोगे नहीं|”

•  “एक चीज़ याद रखना की तुम इस दुनिया में अपनी आध्यात्मिक यात्रा करने अकेले आए हो| प्राण छोड़ोगे भी अकेले| समाधी की स्थिति में भी अकेले ही होगे| जो तुम्हारे जीवन में लोग आएँगे उनको अपना सहयात्री समझना और किसी से वैर नही रखना नहीं तो एक रूठा हुआ यात्री और कई यात्राएँ फिर प्रारंभ करवाने की क्षमता रखता है| अपने जीवन में क्षमा कर देना यदि किसी से भी मन-मुटाव रखा है तो| क्षमा का अर्थ है दूसरे के हित की कामना करना| यह भाव कभी नही लाना “देखा मेरे से पंगा लिया था तो बुरा हुआ| अच्छा हुआ|” क्षमा का सबसे सरल उपाय है किसी की भलाई की कामना करना| हर साधना के पश्चात अपने शत्रुओं की मंगल कामना करना और शत्रु शब्द अपनी वर्णमाला से निकाल देना|सब शिव की संतान हैं|”

We are traversing on the spiritual journey alone. All those who are around us are co passengers who will part with us one day. So it is imperative to love them as much for the duration theyre accompaniments with us and showing care at the same time knowing well that no one is permanent with us. We are spiritual beings on a humanly trip to Mother Earth. The Guru will guide us throughout. We must surrender to Him. He is Who will remain with us throughout our journey since its His supreme soul which has chosen us as its protege

• Learn divine lessons from every incident.

• Be content with life. Thank Shiva for every breath you take.

• Negative emotions such as anger, hatred, jealousy, resentment and fear accumulate in various organs and regions of the body and give rise to deadly diseases such as diabetes,cancer,tumour, lung disease etc.

Day 3—Highlights

The third day of the Shree Vidya level 3 Hindi shivir in Goa saw Baba ji imparting the deeksha of Durga Saptashati to all the sadhaks. Some very very rich words of his have been quoted in the note below verbatim. And as during other level 2 shivirs, Baba ji reiterated for the umpteenth time that for growth on the Siddha Marg, abstinence from non vegetarian food, particularly beef, pork, smoking and drinking is a sine qua non. These small or big, (as the case may be) sacrifices have to be made for the consciousness to rise above the Mooladhar chakra. At the end of the day everything that we are doing comes to naught if we don’t take a step ahead in our spiritual journey, for which we have taken birth.

• “आत्मा का घर है यह शरीर| इस शरीर को मंदिर स्वरूप बनाना| मंदिर कैसे बनेगा शरीर ? साधना करके|प्राण क्रियाएँ करके| अज्ञानी की आत्मा भटकती है| अज्ञानी की आत्मा गाना गाती है ‘आवारा हूँ……..आवारा हूँ………या गर्दिश में हूँ आसमान का तारा हूँ………’|”
• The body is the soul’s abode. It must be kept like a temple. Hence good food and pran kriyas are a must to make this abode temple of a residence for the soul. Otherwise an unfit body induces the feeling of revulsion on the part of the soul. No soul wishes to stay for long in an aching body and no soul can come out before its destined period. So keep your body fit and working all through your lifespan 
  • “श्री विद्या साधना के मार्ग में जीवन के हर पहलू पर जागृत रहना है| जीभ के स्वाद में मत डूब जाना| मासाहारी भोजन तो पूरी तरह से त्याग देना| Pork,beef, red meat तो खाने की सोचना भी मत| बाकी अगर खाते हो तो आहिस्ता-आहिस्ता उसको छोड़ देना| मोक्ष के मार्ग में त्याग बड़ी चीज़ है| इसको सीखो|”

Even if goaded and pestered by friends or colleagues or peers, one must stay firm. Addictions on the path of spiritual realisation must be kept at bay, however much pressure the peers may apply. Say no to drinking because with this habit, any meditation done is futile

• “उस शिव की तरह योगी बनो| ऐसा अनोखा योगी है वो की कपाल के अमृत के नशे में विलीन रहता है| शिव जोगी मतवाला  मेरा शिव जोगी मतवाला; पिए भांग का प्याला मेरा…………. शिव जोगी मतवाला| लोग समझते हैं शराब का पान तो भगवान शिव भी करते हैं तो ये पाप नहीं| अरे अज्ञानी जिस शराब का वो पान करते हैं वो कोई बाहर से नई लाई जाती| वो तो भीतर के कपाल से, अमृत वर्षा की बूँदें होती हैं| शिव योगी उसी भांग का पान करे| बाकी सब तो तुम्हारी senses को ख़तम कर देंगी| अपनी वासनाओं और स्वाद के बँधी नई बनना| Be your own master.”

Ever noticed why  always Lord Shiva’s portrait is made with eyes partially closed ? This is so because Shiva is always in the state of stupor as if drunk. But this state of inebriation is that caused by valium secretion by the Pineal gland and not by consumption of liquor as wrongly perceived by people at large

• “यदि कोई तुम्हे गाली देता है और तुम उसे गुस्से में आकर गाली भरा जवाब देते हो तो कर्म लगता है| तुम श्री विद्या साधक हो, अब और कर्म संचित नई करो| कोई गाली दे तो बड़े प्यार से उसको नमन करना| क्षमा करना| उसमें भी शिव का उग्र रूप देखना| शिव के उस रूप को भी नमस्कार करना|ऐसा करने से और कर्म इकट्ठे नही करोगे और आध्यात्मिक विकास गति से होगा|”

• “तुम्हारी energy और भगवान की energy equilibrium में flow होती रहनी चाहिए| पर अपने विकारों में हम इतना लिपट जाते हैं की हमारी energy God energy तक पहुँच ही नही पाती| ऐसा होने पर ही करता भाव आता है| इसी कारण अहंकार की उत्पत्ति होती है| अपनी मैं के पीछे नहीं भागना|अपनी भावना शुद्ध रखना और सब उस परमेश्वर पर छोड़ देना| करता पुरुष एक ही है| गुरु नानक जी भी तो यही कहते थे ‘एक ओंकार सतनाम करतापूरख………..’| कभी यह नहीं सोचना मैं नहीं होता तो इसका क्या होता ? या फिर मेरी वजह से आज वह इंसान इतना सुखी है| तुम सिर्फ़ निमित बनो और उस करता पुरुष को धन्यवाद देते रहो की हे प्रभु तुमने मुझे इतना सक्षम बनाया की मैं किसी की सेवा कर सका और किसी का मेरे कारण भला हो सका|मुझ पर कृपा इतनी हो की मैं सभी के कल्याण का कारण बनू| ऐसा भाव रखोगे तो कभी कर्म दोष लग ही नहीं सकता|”

The energy interflow between us humans and God must never cease. The equilibrium must be maintained at all stages. This can happen only when one stays in the state of yog or communion with the Almighty at all times. This in turn can happen only when intention is kept pure

• “कर्मों की परतें तब चड़ती हैं जब तुम अपने आप को दुख देते हो, रूठ जाते हो,गुस्सा करते हो,दूसरे को दुख देते हो,दूसरे से ईर्ष्या करते हो, दूसरों की खामियाँ और ग़लतियाँ highlight करते हो| Never judge anyone.”  Never find faults in others. Work to improve the faults in yourselves and help others iron out their shortcomings.

• “श्री विद्या साधक के मुख से जो वचन निकले वे ऐसे हों की सुनने वाले को निहाल कर दें| सिख धर्म में कितनी सुंदरता से कहा गया है यह ‘जो बोले सो निहाल’………..सत्-श्री-अकाल| ऐसे शब्द बोलना की दूसरे सुनें तो उन्हे शांति और सुख की अनुभूति हो| मंत्र ही महेश्वर है|”

The desire to attain self realisation must be as much as the desire to breathe. This Baba ji explained with the help of an excellent example. He said when you are drowning, the intensity of desire to get oxygen and breathe should be the intensity of desire of all Shiv Yogis to attain self realisation.

Day 4—Highlights

On day 4 of the Goa Shree Vidya 3, Baba ji communicated to the sadhaks esoteric Wisdom which included shedding light on aspects as how Siddhas compute the number of births remaining for a person to attainment of Nirvana or Self realisation(last point of the update). Baba ji laid bare reasons for widespread hatred, intrinsic to this day and age and also suggested simple means to guard oneself of impurities which act as hindrances en route to salvation. Namah shivay day four on which Baba ji unravelled some startling and hitherto unheard facts about the human body.

Baba ji compared our vertebrae with “Sumeru parvat”. This mountain was a centre point in the primordial landmass when Gondwanaland existed. Although there are many mythological interpretations on it, in this context, suffice it to say that the vertebrae are the cornerstone of our lives. Without their existence, we wouldn’t be living. If the human body is a computer, the petals of the chakras are its microchips. Emotional turbulence of any kind causes negativity getting engraved in the vertebrae. It is along the vertebral column that our Sushumna nadi runs. And it is from the spinal cord in the vertebral column that all impulses of the body are generated. When negativity sticks to the column, which is the source of energy transfer, the body gets diseased since all the channels of energy originate at the Vertebral column.

Hatred—The arch nemesis of humans

Baba ji said that hatred is caused by the following factors:

1. Expectations-When we expect others to do something for us or when we live in the hope of a certain kind of behaviour of others towards us, certain kind of respect towards us and anticipate a particular attitude to us as per the image we have made of the person in our minds and when the aforementioned aspects are not fulfilled, it induces a feeling of revulsion and hatred which chokes the Anahat chakra. He pointed out that one must be a free person. No expecting from anyone. No creating boundaries of Karma for either yourself or others.
2. –Inferiority complex– Whenever a person belittles us or rises more than us, we feel envy. The root emotion of envy is hatred. Love can never breed jealousy. It is repulsion and deep disgust which evoke jealousy. Baba ji said that contentment with whatever you get and gratitude for the same to Shiva will help one overcome such a vice.
3. Superiority complex -Most of the times we are pining for the object which the other person has or possesses rather than materialising good for ourselves. The classic case of Uski kameez meri kameez se safed kyun demonstrates this mentality to the hilt. We feel we must be bigger than others, richer than others etc. We do not think we should be happy. We think we must be ahead in any and every respect vis a vis others. We compare. We envy. We sulk. We curse God. This is wrong.

The picture might appear funny but thats exactly how trivial a thing we need to be jealous of others. We envy even a muffler and a cap. We are not content with what we have. We always wish to peep how others are faring in life and whether we are equal to their wealth or lagging behind. This competition is misplaced and unfounded says Baba ji. Attention at all times must be only towards what is our own. We must thank God for what we have and work to expand more rather than vie with others

•  Baba ji said
  “अस्तेय का पालन होना चाहिए| नज़र तुम्हारी सिर्फ़ तुम्हारी ही उपलभधियों पर होनी चाहिए| दूसरे के पास कितना है और मेरे पास तो कम है, ऐसी सोच अब छोड़ दो”
• No statement can be as self destructive ‘I hate you all’. Never utter such words. This will nullify hours of sadhna,sankirtan and sewa all at once.
• ”किसी से नफ़रत करना अधोगति का कारण बनता है| सभी को प्रेम करो और सभी में उस शिव को देखो| इतने सक्षम बनो की शिकायत करने का मौका ही ना मिले तुम्हे| उस शिव का धन्यवाद हर घड़ी करना| उसी से सब चल रहा है| उसी से सब मिल रहा है| वो ही देने वाला भोला भंडारी है| तुम माँग के तो देखो| सुपात्र बन के तो देखो| लोग कहते हैं भगवान देते नही मैं तो कहता हूँ तुम माँगते ही नहीं| ईश्वर को यह नहीं बोलो ‘हे राम मुझे पड़ोसी की जैसे गाड़ी दे दो’| तुम खुद क्या चाहते हो यह बोलना| ‘पड़ोसी के जैसी’ बोलने में भावना अशुद्ध है| कुछ उपलब्धि हो तो धन्यवाद देना| इसी से संपन्नता आएगी और वृद्धि होगी|”

Gratitude throughout the day at all times to the Almighty is a must for a Shiv Yogi who is a blessed being by virtue of purity. This will help trigger satisfaction in whatever we receive

• We have become so depraved that a small purse, a hairstyle or an accessory becomes a source of envy. This animal tendency Baba ji says we must leave right away if we dont wish to acquire the birth of an animal in the next incarnation.

• ”तुम्हारे जीवन का लक्ष्य उस अनंत को प्राप्त करने का होना चाहिए|”

• ”जब भी साधना के लिए बैठो तो सारे issues resolve करने की भावना से बैठना| सभी को माफ़ कर देना और प्रेम करना|” (Resolve all issues in this birth to attain self realisation in this birth itself. Say Sorry. Forgive everyone. Love everyone unconditionally. Accept everyone the way they are)

• ”अपने जीवन की हर घटना को एक अनुभव की तरह लेना और lesson learn करना| जीवन में कुछ भी घाटित हो तो यह सोचना की यह घटना मेरी अध्यात्मिक उन्नति के लिए आवश्यक थी| इसके होने से मुझे कुछ लाभ हुआ है जो मेरे विकास में योग्दायक होगा|”

• “ज्ञानी वो जो knowingly सब कुछ करे| ज्ञानी वो जो अपनी साँस से लेकर expected salary के बारे में aware हो| सब कुछ उसी की संकल्प शक्ति से फलीभूत हो| ज्ञानी वो जिसकी golden book उसका भाग्य हो|

अज्ञानी वो जिसे उसके कर्मों का फल ही मालूम ना हो| अज्ञानी वो जो भाग्य पर सब छोड़ दे| अज्ञानी वो जो जीवन के हर पहलू से अंजान  रहे| अज्ञानी वो जो जीवन को एक बोझा समझे| अज्ञानी वो जो आलस और अन्य विकारों को गले लगाए| शिव योगी अज्ञानी वाले एक भी अवगुण नही रखता|”

• Gateway of Life and Death

Between our Mooladhaar chakra and Swaddhisthaan chakra, lies a gateway of give and take. It remains open till the time the cause and effect cycle continues. There is something you have received from someone. You have to give back that. Not only in monetary terms but also anger, jealousy,hatred,anger,pain etc. In one birth you receive these from someone, in other births you give them back. So letting go is essential to break this chain. When one attains self realisation, this gateway closes.

• “साधना तुम्हे अंतर्मन के करीब लेकर जाएगी| अंतर्मन वो जगह है जहाँ अभी सोचा और अगले क्षण फलीभूत| सिद्ध लोग तभी तो कुछ भी संकल्प लेते हैं तो वह तत्क्षण फलीभूत होता है क्यूंकी वह अंतर्मन में उस परिणाम को घटित कर देते हैं| अंतर्मन के समीप आओ| बाह्यमान इतना शक्तिशाली नहीं| बाह्यमान तो इंद्रियों के वश में आकर विनाश भी माँग सकता है| साधना करो, तुम्हारी जीवात्मा expand करेगी| इससे तुम नर से नारायण की यात्रा आसानी से कर पाओगे|” (The Antarman is so potent that all desires are fulfilled when resolution is taken through it. To reach this realm of mind, deep meditation and purity is required. But for Shiv Yogis who meditate regularly, reaching this stage isnt too difficult at all)
• • Baba ji harped on the fact that the type of birth we get is dependent on the desire that we have. As humans, under the influence of worldly lures, we elicit animal tendencies and eventually which accrue to result in us taking forms of animals with those qualities in our subsequent births. For example a person who asks others for money, food etc for free becomes a stray dog in his next birth that has exactly these characteristics.
  • We have come to understand mind as brain. Whenever someone pronounces the word mind, we instantly recall the brain. But no mind is not the brain. Body, mind and soul are different aspects of our humanly existence. Of late scientists have discovered that the human heart has a strong electromagnetic radiation. Heart is actually a deep state of mind. The brain too is a part of the mind.
  • In the heart lies the seat of the soul
    

    (“हृदय की गुफा में अंगुष्ठ मात्र आत्मा वास करती है|”)

  • Children are virtual recorders. Till the age of 3 years, their intuitive powers are active but the worldly influences polute their mind and closes their clairvoyant faculties. Children hear their parents utter everything and slowly imbibe in themselves, those negative talks. Parents must talk positive, not only before their kids but also otherwise because kids are sensitive to energy and catch negativity even in that manner.

• How Siddhas calculate the births remaining for achieving self realisation

Baba ji revealed that just like we can compute the age of trees by counting the cambial rings in the cross section of their barks, similarly Siddhas can compute the number of births left for the final self realisation stage. The belly button or nabhi is surrounded by subtle rings which clairvoyant beings can see. The more the number of rings, the more will be the number of births remaining. Unresolved issues increase the number of rings. Sadhna helps reduce these rings.

On the fifth day of the Goa Level 3 Hindi, Baba ji dwelt on only sadhna and hence there were no words. Baba ji instead chose to transfer everything in Paraavaani the highest and the subtlest form of communication. However one memorable incident was that a sadhak after the meditation sung aloud “Jai Baba Shivananda”. Baba ji smiled and apprised all that Shivanand was only a part of Shiva and did not merit any plaudits. The worshipable is the one and only benefactor of all —Lord Shiva. All others pale in comparison to the potency and supremeness of the omnipresent.

6th day turned out to be a one of vital significance for the sadhaks attending the Level 3 shivir.  Today Baba ji took the sadhaks in 3 hour deep meditations. Sadhaks complained of excruciating pain when Baba ji directed the attention from the Mooladhaar to the Swaddhisthan chakra during the medtation. Baba ji told the sadhaks that all their heavy karmas were exterminated in the sadhna. The pain was because of the fact that our consciousness remains stuck in this physical world. There are so many issues, so much karmic baggage that the consciousness resists any positive change. But as Baba ji lifted the Kundalini from the Mooladhaar to the Spleen chakra, Ma Kundalini barged and pierced the Brahma granthi,purging all karmas which were hurdles to spiritual growth of sadhaks. Sadhaks have been forbidden to talk, venture out and told even to walk as less and as slowly as possible after this dhyan today. To counter fatigue as a sign of rising Kundalini, Baba ji has advised all the sadhaks at Goa to take rest today. No satsang today too.

Day 7—Highlights

Baba ji finally spoke on the 7th day of the shivir at Goa. The primary thrust area of Baba ji was the borrowed belief system prevalent in India and the abominable prospect of even sadhaks lapping it up. “Dhaarna shakti” Baba ji said is the strongest means to achieve any goal in life. He also explained the reason for preference of Goa for holding unique shivirs which is a startling fact about Goa known only to a handful in this world. Also below is given word on “late sleeping and late rising” and Baba ji’s answer of a sadhak’s peculiar query on losing weight. And as written innumerable times on this page, Baba ji reiterated why sadhna must never be done on the bed.

• Why Goa for special shivirs ?

Apart from the inevitable reasons as perfect arrangements, relaxed atmosphere, celebratory ambience and blissful atmospherics, Baba ji enunciated as to why He prefers to keep Goa as a venue for special shivirs. It is interesting to note that the first ever Shree Vidya level 2 shivir was also held in Goa.

The Om beach at Gokarna. The Om is quite apparent and truly it appears to be Lord Shiva’s abode in the south

• Take every incident in life as a chance to learn a lesson and vow to never repeat the mistake otherwise no point of taking a lesson.

• Be non judgemental.

• “Golden book  ज़रूर लिखना नहीं तो दिशाहीन होकर दर दर ठोकरें खाते हुए भटक जाओगे| अपने विचारों को, अपनी सोच को, अपनी साधना को एक दिशा प्रदान करो|लिखो तुम कैसा जीवन चाहते हो|चुको मत| ‘……………मानव जन्म अमोल है बंदेया……… अईनू गवाना नई ओ बंदेया’………”

• SHUNNING THE BELIEF SYSTEM

1.When the wish that you aspire for is common to the conscious, sub conscious and ingrained in the belief system it will definitely materialize.

2.

3.

5.

6.

A sadhak, an aspiring model on the mike raised a query that his wishes weren’t materializing despite his writing in the present tense in the Golden book and that modelling as a profession had work ethics totally opposite to the ideals of Shiv Yog. He also raised the bogey of explicit stuff and surreptitious “emails” which had to be sent and received. Baba ji looked at him from a distance for a moment, as if reading his past,present and future. He then said

“बेटा तुम्हारी भावना और belief system ठीक नहीं है| शिव योग के सिद्धांत हर पेशे में और हर इंसान पर ठीक बैठते हैं| धारणा लाओ| तुम्हारी भावना अशुद्ध है और तुम कुछ और सोच कर बैठे हो| शिव योग को समझो| भोले बाबा की कृपा लो सब email आने लगेंगे| Bless you बेटा शुद्धी की आवश्यकता है| साधना करो| नमः शिवाय|”

• “Bed पर बैठ कर कभी साधना मत करना| जब हम सोते हैं तो etheric waste emit करते हैं| Bed पर साधना करने से वह energy आपकी energy को खाएगी और साधना का लाभ नहीं मिल पाएगा|”

• “विचार शुरुआत में आएँगे पर जैसे जैसे शुद्दि होगी वह अपने आप ही गायब होने लगेंगे|”

• “प्रकृति से कितना कुछ सीखने को है मनुष्य के पास| कभी snail देखा है ? उसकी ख़ासियत ही यह है की यदि कोई उसे चू दे, तो वह अपने शरीर के छिद्र से अंदर चला जाता है| उसी प्रकार जब भी कोई विपत्ति आए तो हा-हाकार नहीं मचाने लग जाना| उस snail की तरह अपने भीतर चले जाना| बाहर की हर रुकावट, हर मुसीबत, हर कठिनाई का समाधान बाहर नहीं तुम्हारे भीतर ही है|साधना ही हर समस्या का समाधान है| तुम अनंत हो| तुम्हारे भीतर वह अनंत छिपा हुआ है| वह साधना से ही बाहर आएगा| ‘आपको ध्याओ, आपको भजो, आप में आपके राम आप होकर रहते हैं’| वास्तव में यह मान या शरीर तुम्हारा अस्तित्व नहीं है| तुम वह सत चित आनंद हो जिसके पास हर मुसीबत का हल है| अपने असली दर्शन करने हैं तो साधना करो| सारे कष्ट और रोग ठीक होंगे| अपने असली मैं से मिलकर तो देखो|”

• LOSING WEIGHT

How this topic was raised is a very interesting story being narrated here exactly how it unfolded.

In the question answer session, a lady on the mike came and said” नमः शिवाय बाबा जी| बाबा जी मुझे slim होना है | मुझे सुषुमना नाड़ी के जितना पतला कर दो|(This sent everyone, including the lady in peels of laughter).

In the same jocular vein Baba ji replied,

“तुम्हें सुषुमना बना तो दूँ पर आस पास ईडा पिंग्ला भी लानी पड़ेंगी, उसका क्या करूँ?”

(This raised the tenor of the proceedings and rip roaring laughter reverberated across the hall).

On a serious note Baba ji had these points for anyone planning to lose weight:

1. Eat less but do not starve. Do not skip meals.

2. Earn your food. Ask yourself whether you have burnt enough calories and digested the previously eaten food that you merit a morsel of the next one ?

3. Exercise and go beyond your limitations everyday. Induce sweat through vigorous exercise.

4. Write down the weight that you wish to attain in your Golden book in the present tense and start believing that you are already ____kg.

5. Ask yourself what is the price Im going to pay for losing ___kg of weight. Am I ready to exercise more ? Am I ready give my taste buds a relief ? Am I ready to eat less but healthy ?

• DISCIPLINE IN LIFE

1. “मेरा यह एक कथन अपने कमरे में लिख कर लगा लो: ‘Everyday I have to become better and better. Everyday in every way I’m better than yesterday.’

2. “हर रोज़ जब भी उठो तो प्रयास करना की कल के मुक्काब्ले आज तुम और अच्छे इंसान बनो|”

3. “नेत्र खुलते ही शैय्या त्याग दिया करो| पासे पलटना और आलस करना तुम्हारे लिए नहीं है|” (A Shiv Yogi is never seen wallowing on the bed after he’s awake. Also whiling away time and time wastage are not traits which are associated with a Shiv Yogi)

5. “जीवन में नियम बनाओ और उन नियमों का पालन करो| वही नियम तुम्हे बना देंगे|”

6.Bring consistency and regularity in life.

•  “और बाबा से कभी यह सवाल नहीं करना ‘बाबा जी हम साधना,प्राण क्रियाएँ और संकीर्तन को कितना समय दें एक दिन में ?’ आजकल किसी से पूछो क्या करते हो दिन भर तो लोग कहते हैं ‘timepass’| एक शीव्योगी कभी ऐसी बात नहीं करेगा| यदि तुम्हारे पास समय है तो यथासंभव अपने लिए समय निकालो| पर हाँ दिन में २ घंटे तो ज़रूर रखना अपनी अध्यात्मिक उन्नति के लिए| बाकी यदि और समय है तो उसे इस्तेमाल करो, timepass बिल्कुल नहीं करना| समय का दुरुपयोग कभी नहीं करना|”

• No competition with others. Competition with only your own self.

•  “कोई भी काम pending नहीं रहना|”

Baba ji ended on a very sweet note when he said:

The issue raked up by Baba ji today directly affects you as a sadhak. On the path of spirituality and as seekers there are times that we succumb to the greed in us. We look for multiple sources of learning sadhna and hence fall prey to unwanted elements. Baba ji’s forewarnings and concern in all Shree Vidya 2 shivirs last year and this year too regarding not letting anyone touch your forehead were and are for real. There is indeed a threat to the energy that you have inherited from Siddha Guru Shivanand. Do not fall for false claims like kundalini awakening, fourth dimension experience, Shree Vidya 5 by other people who in the garb of being Baba ji’s messengers and direct disciples are indulging in pernicious, wicked, evil and harmful practices. And learning such divine practices and techniques from Baba ji, they have donned the cap of Bhasmasur now. Quite literally so. This is not a tale. This is not something from which you are immune. Just be firm and do not fall in any trap. Trust only official sources of information.

Baba ji today dealt with a very serious issue which is a prospective menace for one and all. He started by saying,

Baba ji dubbed the situation as

The modus operandi of the persons in question is this. Being a practitioner of such black magic and other obnoxious techniques, they have to feed the astral beings also. This they do through sucking life force energy from sadhaks. The precise ways in which they operate are of many types as being elucidated below:

1.Giving the lure of teaching Shree Vidya level 5 or some such higher level sadhna.

2. Introducing themselves as a direct disciples and cohorts of Baba ji and also claiming that Baba ji himself has instructed them to give Baba ji’s message and deeksha to all.

3.Claiming to teach a new siddhi, healing and feeling chakras, group sadhnas, striking their forehead while greeting someone,touching forehead etc.

4.Offering lessons of Shree Vidya in far less means than what Baba ji’s Guru dakshina is.

The motive of printing all this over here is not to issue a chargesheet or look out notice. Just that this is a very very serious threat to all sadhaks and all must be aware of such a nuisance that has cropped up which can affect anyone.

Many sadhaks narrated today that they have been duped of lakhs of rupees and more importantly have reported aches, strange occurrences, lack of meditational will, loss of sadhna shakti etc.

Also there is not just this solitary threat. A multitude of such unsocial elements and miscreants have penetrated across social networking sites like facebook and are propagating their malicious designs in the name of Baba ji. Some sadhaks are running their parallel shivirs, conning people without an end. A very close look needs to be taken at the goings on. Beware of the happenings around you. Trust only official channels of communication i.e http://www.shivyog.com.

The solutions which Baba ji suggested were :

1.To the aroused and enraged sadhaks sitting in the auditorium, Baba ji said,

2.No sadhna in groups.

3. “तुम्हारी अनुमति के बिना कोई भी तुम्हारी साधना का फल तुमसे नहीं छीन सकता| किसी भी व्यक्ति को अपना आज्ञा चक्र,सेह्स्त्रार चक्र और बिंदु चक्र छूने नहीं देना| आपका सर तो कोई भी ना छूए| परिवार जन और नाई का तो भाव नहीं होगा शक्ति छीनने का| (No one without your wish must be allowed to take away your Sadhana power. DO NOT allow anyone to touch your Ajna Chakra, Sahastra & Bindu Chakra. Family members, barber donot have motive to take away your energy so they are fine to touch).

4. “इस समय पूरे विश्व में तुम्हारे गुरु के अलावा और कोई श्री विद्या दीक्षा नहीं दे सकता| तो अगर कोई तुमसे यह कहे की आओ मैं तुम्हें श्री विद्या दीक्षा दूं तो मेरी  इस बात को याद करना|”

5. “जब मैं तुम्हें दिल खोलकर शक्ति दे रहा हूँ तो तुम्हें बाहर जाने की क्या ज़रूरत है ? बाबा अपने बच्चों को अनंत प्रेम करता है और अपना जीवन उन्ही की सेवा में लगाता है|मेरी मानो यदि तुम प्रति दिन साधना करते हो और नियम पूर्वक शिव योग के सभी सिद्धांतों का पालन करते हो, मैं तुम्हें guarantee देता हूँ की इसी जन्म में आत्म साक्षात्कार होना ही होना है| कहाँ भागते फिरते हो ? किन पाखंडियों के लोभ में आते हो ?”

6. “यदि कोई भी तुम्हें यह कहता है की बाबा जी का message देना है तो कभी विश्वास नहीं करना| मुझे यदि कोई भी message देना होगा, तो मैं स्वयं तुम्हे officially बताऊँगा| कहा सुनी पर यकीन नहीं करना|”

Baba ji knew of the presence of 3-4 people in the auditorium who were accomplices of the person in question and who had registered themselves under false aliases. He told all the sadhaks these 3-4 people were given the task to relay this energy to the black magic practitioner.  But in the next session Baba ji told that he had nullified all the evil designs and intentions of all those sitting with the most impure intention in the auditorium and who were the partners in crime with the person. But Baba ji said there was one among those whom He couldn’t mellow because that person had sold his soul to the evil and that without such a person’s permission, any interference would tantamount to poking the nose in nature.

Baba ji told the sadhak gathering,

•  There were also serious issues of phoney and perverted people cheating and harassing the women in the society. Practices like revealing of spiritual growth through navel gazing, smelling the body and other such abominable acts must be done away with.

• Baba ji said that we must find a company of ‘normal’ people ie those who have an iota of common sense and rationale and who do not believe in superstition.  The society, particularly the women must direct their faith in the real masters like Baba ji rather than looking for shortcuts to giving their life a non existent and superficial fillip.

• Today people with nefarious intentions are rampant and repose your faith only in the true teacher who is tested and who doesn’t foment non sensical beliefs and asks you to do anything which is objectionable by any means.

• Remember the real litmus test of a saint is whether he bases his philosophy on fear or divinity. Never ever fall for tall and outrageous, nay absurd claims which target your anxiety rather than devotion.  God can be got only through love and happiness and not through fear and phobias.

• Be a persevering individual and be content with what you get. Do not loiter around in search for easy solutions. Do sadhna. Burn your karmas and follow the Guru’s teachings. That is the only way to attain moksha. Do not give in to baits and traps.

• If you are reading this, you are lucky enough to possess a human body and a Guru like Avadhoot Shivanand ji. Never again will such a golden opportunity throw itself upon you and plead to have it seized. This is the time. This is the age. Sadhna is the only way to make life peaceful, tranquil, prosperous and happy.

• Young girls must be very careful of what they are offered to eat outside because in the guise of offering sweets, many abhorrent practices are given execution to. So prefer eating only home food.

• “अपने घर को आश्रम बना कर रखो जहाँ साधना सेवा और संकीर्तन हो, जहाँ सभी सदस्य belongingness, happiness,respect और love को experience करें| अपने परिवार को यह गाना ज़रूर गाकर सुनाना हस्ते हुए| घर में यदि तुमसे लड़ाई करे तो बड़े प्रेम से यह सोच कर क्षमा कर देना इनका soul agenda warrior बनने का है|’आ चल के तुझे मैं लेके चलूं इक ऐसे गगन के तले……………जहाँ गम भी ना हो आँसू भी ना हो बस प्यार ही प्यार पाले……………………………… इक ऐसे गगन के तले………..”

• “साधक बनो तो घमंड नहीं लाना| एक सामान्य जीवन जियो और किसी से अपनी साधना के बारे में ज़िक्र भी मत करो|”

• Baba ji also portended the sadhaks that after November he will mostly be doing shivirs in the coastal areas to balance the energy.

• Baba ji pointed out that Nepal is on the verge of being a very prosperous region because already it is a Shiv Bhoomi and with the rising Shree Vidya sadhaks,it was set to be amongst the riches.

• “जहाँ भी यह श्री विद्या ३ साधना होएगी, वहाँ की भूमि सुरक्षित हो जाएगी|”और अब किसी तांत्रिक इत्यादि को अपने पास भी फटकने नहीं देना|”

Regarding Guru Poornima Baba ji announced these dates for the programmes:

1 July, Ambala

2 July, Bombay

3 July, Surat

Day 9—Highlights

The 9th day which comes in the wake of fraught and sombre proceedings of the 8th day, saw fallout of the previous day in the various sessions of the day. From now on Baba ji has asked sadhaks to only heal their near family members owing to the malpractices which have come to the limelight and also because karmic interventions that are being inadvertently done. He also said that Guru Poojan shouldn’t be practiced. Only Lord Shiva, Ma Durga and Lord Narayan must be worshipped because it is they who manifest in various forms and comprise the entire universe. So that way you worship the entire brahmand. Prayer before food, Baba ji added is a must. It increases the energy level of the food. Also,only close family members and loved ones can be hugged. During shivirs, no hugging and embracing other sadhaks because you never know who might be having wrong intentions. Baba ji has instructed all sadhaks to tread circumspectly after some sadhaks have gone astray and started black magic through any kind of body touch. Lastly offer food only to Almighty before starting to eat it yourself. Do not offer it to your ancestors or those gone by. This will cause harm.

When Baba ji passed out graduation, one of His professors, who himself was very spiritual told Him, “Son today I am giving you a mantra which you should always bear in your mind. The mantra is ‘LEARN TO SAY NO WITH CONFIDENCE’.” Baba ji was perplexed at this point, wondering why a professor was telling Him to say no. Infact no wasn’t as good an expression, he discerned.

As time passed, Baba ji realised the true worth of this adage. Among friends this line is a pet phrase

Baba ji said that this mentality should go. Even if induced and tempted among the friend circle, one must stay away from bad practices, be it smoking,drinking, eating junk or any other wrong habit. Peer pressure must never be allowed to reign supreme. One must set ideals and never succumb to any attraction. This is also valid for persuasion when done by practitioners of black magic, giving the trap of lesser money, more energy, higher sadhna level etc. Do not let anyone else rule your mind. Be your own master.

Ma Durga

• Baba ji also said that henceforth He will be giving Sanjeevani shakti only to the doctors and would ask them to sync their allopathic practices with Sanjeevani shakti for an enhanced healing effect.

• “जो लोग  healing करते हैं उनको मैं यह बताना चाहूँगा की इसको करते समय कभी यह भाव नहीं लाना की तुम किसी को ठीक कर रहे हो| भाव यह लाना की तुम माँ आद्याशक्ति से प्रार्थना कर रहे हो और वह अपनी दिव्य ऊर्जा से सब कर रही हैं| ठान कर healing नहीं करना|  कुछ साधक कहते हैं नहीं मैं तो ठीक करके ही दम लूँगा| ऐसा कभी नहीं करना| प्रकृति सबको ठीक करती है| तुम अपना काम करना| कुछ ज़बरदस्ती नहीं करना| विनम्र भाव से सिर्फ़ प्रार्थना करना और सारा भाव उस माँ संजीवनी में डाल देना जो सर्व दायिनि है|”

•  Baba ji contended that it has been proved through clairvoyance that when prayer is done before eating food, the life force energy of the food increases exponentially. He also added that before starting our food, we must offer it to Shiv-Shiva, the mother-father of the universe. At times what people do is offer the food to their ancestors. This must never be done since this sucks the life force energy out of the food.

When the whole family offers the food together to the Almighty because of whom the family is able to have it in the first place, the life force energy shoots up a thousand fold says Baba ji

• “जैसी तुम्हारी energy होगी, वैसी ही घटनाएँ तुम्हारे साथ होंगी|”
• “तुम्हारे मुख से निकला शब्द कभी किसी को आघात ना पहुँचाए”

• Hugging as a form of greeting to friends, acquaintances etc. during shivirs has been forbidden by Baba ji because the evil forces are out to pump out all energies through Shree Vidya sadhaks. Moreover libidinous characters have mushroomed in the name of “catching up” with friends. Beware of such a form of greeting and steer clear of wishing people this way.

• In the year 2012, both positive and negative energies have become powerful. So it is very easy to imbibe negativity as it is to inculcate positivity.

• “श्री विद्या मंत्र से उपर कोई मंत्र नहीं है तो कहीं इधर उधर मत दौड़ना मंत्रों के पीछे| इसी मंत्र में सभी मंत्र समाए हुए हैं| लालच नहीं करना| एक संतुष्टि का भाव लेकर के आना| शुद्धि करना मन की, साधना द्वारा और सब मंत्र स्वतः ही तुम्हे आ जाएँगे|”

• “जैसे माता पिता अपने बच्चों का ख़याल रखते हैं, उसी प्रकार तुम्हारा गुरु तुम्हे बुरी शक्तियों के असर से बचाएगा पर तुम्हें भी एक वायदा करना होगा की तुम कभी भी लोभ और लालच में आकर किसी भी मैलीविद्दया के तंत्रिकों के पास नहीं जाओगे और ज्योतिषियों को भी भाग्य इत्यादि दिखाने नहीं जाओगे| अपना भाग्य स्वयं रचित करो| Golden book में लिखो तुम चाहते क्या हो| साधना से शुद्धि करो प्रकृति तुम्हे सब देने में सक्षम है| भगवान शिव तुम्हें सब कुछ देने को आतुर हैं| सुपात्र बन कर तो देखो|”

• “कल ३-४ व्यक्ति जो अशुद्ध भावना से यहाँ बैठ के ऊर्जा ले रहे थे और जिन्होने जाकर तांत्रिकों को अपनी शक्ति दे देनी थी, उनमें से एक रह गया था क्योंकि उसने अपनी कुण्डलिनी शक्ति किसी और को समर्पित कर दी थी| वा व्यक्ति किसी और के वश में था| उसकी स्वयं की इच्छा नहीं है कुछ भी| अब तो उसे कोई और control कर रहा है|”

Yesterday a lady came on the mike and said, “नमः शिवाय बाबा जी| बाबा जी मेरी कमर में बहुत दर्द रहता है और मैं ज़्यादा देर के लिए बैठ भी नहीं पाती|” Baba ji replied, “चलो बेटा सच सच खेलते हैं|” (All sadhaks including the lady started grinning). Then Baba ji through his omniscience asked, “बेटा सच सच बताओ तुम अपने भाईयों को सक्षम नहीं समझती तुम्हारा कुछ भी काम करने को?”  The lady started smiling. Baba ji said, “बताओ बेटा सच है की नहीं?” The lady conceded on prodding, “हांजी बाबा जी”| Baba ji smiled and said, “बेटा उन्हें लायक समझो| प्रेम करो| सभी के साथ मिलकर काम करो| किसी को असमर्थ नहीं समझो| Then Baba ji looked towards the lady almost as if eager to reveal something more and averred, “अम्मा एक और बात बोल दूं? The lady smiled and nodded in agreement. To this Baba ji said, “तुम जिससे प्यार करती हो ना उससे शादी कर लो, सुखी और खुश रहोगी|” The lady blushed deliriously and very shyly thanked Baba ji, bringing a smile to the face of all. All the sadhaks were mesmerised by Baba ji’s clairvoyance, wit and sense of humour.

Day 10—Highlights

The string of Higher level sadhnas in Goa concluded today with the curtains coming down on the Shree Vidya level 3 shivir. Besides asking sadhaks to not even tell their friends the name “Shree Vidya”, Baba ji advised total secrecy to be maintained in so far as talking about sadhna is concerned. Do not disclose to anyone about the meditations you do. No one should know that you meditate. Also Baba ji asked all sadhaks who reside in coastal areas such as Maharashtra and Gujarat to practice Shree Vidya thrice a day since any distortion in energy will directly affect these areas first.Baba ji also prohibited visits to Astrologers, Black Magic practitioners, Sorcerers and said that from now on Your Baba is your Guru,Astrolger,Vaastu expert et al. Baba ji forewarned the sadhaks of any dangers that the materialistic pleasures might pose to the spiritual growth of Shree Vidya 3 sadhaks who had become “saadhus” and whose probability of attaining Self realisation increased by a huge amount after burning millions of karmas over the last 10 days.

• “माँ भगवती की लज्जा और प्रतिष्ठा का मान करना|

Baba ji said that Shree Vidya sadhna must be given so much respect that even the term “Shree Vidya” must not be uttered in front of strangers. He said that being merchants of jewels and diamonds, sadhaks must not blow their trumpet and invite thieves of energy to them. At the same time Baba ji also said that now the darker forces will be looking to attract the Shree Vidya 3 sadhaks because of their higher energy. The evil will be looking for sadhaks with her energy. But the sadhaks must remain determined and not bogged down by greed and other baits. They must surrender completely to the Guru.

• “अब तुम हीरे के ज़ोहरी बन गये हो| अब दर दर जाके ढिंढोरा नहीं पीटना की देखो मेरे पास कितने हीरे हैं आओ मुझे लूट लो| क्योंकि मैने जो शक्ति तुम्हारे भीतर स्थापित कर दी है अब वा तांत्रिकों और काई शक्टिओं के लिए अनमोल है| इन सब से बचना| अपना संकल्प मजबूत रखना| किसी दूसरी विद्दा के व्यवसायी के पास नहीं जाना|”

• “गुरु की मर्यादा का पालन करना|”

• Baba ji will not be giving healing powers anymore to the sadhaks because of the rampant misuse and wrong diversion of the healing techniques. Healing must be done within the same house only. No seeking healing from outside.

• “अपनी साधना प्रारंभ करने से पहले अपने गुरु को धन्यवाद देना क्योंकि यह उसी गुरु का तपोबल है जिस कारण आज तुम साधना सीख पाए हो और शक्ति ली पाए हो| गुरु ने ही बीज को व्रक्ष में परिवर्तित काइया जिसके फल तुम खा रहे हो| साधना से पूर्व गुरु से निवेदन करना की हे गुरुदेव मैं आपसे प्रार्थना करता हूँ की आप मेरा मार्गदर्शन करो, मेरी रक्षा करो,मुझे काम, क्रोध, मोह, लोभ और अहंकार से मुक्ति दिलवाओ| हे गुरुदेव मैं आपका आवाहन करता हूँ|”

• “जब मनुष्य मुक्ति के द्वार पर होता है तो माया उसे फिर पकड़ती है| प्रकृति उसकी परीक्षा लेती है| यदि तो तुम परीक्षा में fail  हो जाते हो तो तुम्हारे संचित कर्म और भव्य रूप में तुम्हारे पास लौट आते हैं| इसीलिए उस शिव का नाम लेते रहना और काम, क्रोध, मोह, लोभ और अहंकार को अपने निकट नहीं आने देना| “

• “अक्सर साधक यह ग़लती कर जाते हैं की पाँच कदम चलते तो हैं मोक्ष की ओर किंतु तीन कदम आगे चलते हैं और दो पीछे| इसी कारण बाधाएं आती है और आत्म साक्षात्कार होने में समय ल्गता है| अपनी energy को एक ही दिशा में divert करना| उस पर ब्रह्म को ही पाने का लक्ष्य रखना|”

• “आजकल मोक्ष भी बड़ा fashion बन गया है| आजकल तो लोग मोक्ष के कई प्रकार बेचते हैं: Deluxe, Super deluxe, Siddha course, Buddha course. यह सब ढोंग है| सच्चा गुरु वो जो नाम धन दे और ऐसे बड़े बड़े दावे करने की बजाय तुममें एक सुंदर रूपांतरण लाने का वचन दे|”

• “एक बात गाँठ बाँध लेना की जीवन में shortcut नहीं होते| कोई भी सांसारिक या आध्यात्मिक उपलब्धि को हासिल करना है तो ताप और परिश्रम तो करना ही होगा| आसानी से कुछ नहीं मिलेगा| मेहनत करनी ही होगी| पसीना बहाना ही होगा| साधना करनी ही होगी| यदि तुम्हे कोई यह कहे की पैसे देके तुम उच्च की साधनाएँ सीख सकते हो तो कभी विशास नहीं करना| सिद्ध मार्ग में कोई छोटा रास्ता नहीं होता| लगान,श्रद्धा, भक्ति और नियमितता अपने जीवन में लाकर देखो| मेहनत का फल हमेशा मीठा होता है| रूपांतरण धीरे धीरे ही आएगा| Instant results की अपेक्षा नहीं करना| सहज पके सो मीठा|”

• “तुम सभी अब शिवानंद के शिष्य हो| (This line said by Baba ji drew a rapturous response and for at least the next 10 minutes, the claps and applause did not abate).  यह अब तुम्हारा आख़िरी जीवन है| अब भटकना नहीं| साधना लगातार करते जाना| श्री विद्या मंत्र का निरंतर जाप करते रहना जिससे की कर्म तेज़ी से कटें| इस मंत्र में आपार शक्ति है| बड़ी श्रद्धा और आदरपूर्वक इसे करना|”

• “हर साधना के बाद सभी के लिए प्रार्थना करना| यह माँगना की सबका कल्याण हो, सभी का उत्थान हो और सही की आध्यात्मिक उन्नति हो|”

• Baba ji strictly warned the sadhaks from going to astrologers, soothsayers, magicians etc. to predict their future or some other purpose. From now Baba ji Himself is our Vaastu expert, our astrologer, our clairvoyance expert etc.

• After Shree Vidya 3, Baba ji said that all the sadhaks in Goa have become saadhus on the verge of spiritual realization. Only a test separates them from reaching the Ultimate now. The test is winning over the senses and rising above worldly pleasures.

• The pooja altar must not have an energy interference. There must not be any clutter or unwanted dirt or objects near the pooja altar.

Baba ji said that although all sadhaks must practice Shree Vidya sadhna twice daily, those sadhaks residing in coastal areas as Mumbai, Gujarat must practice it thrice daily because they will bear the first brunt of any disturbance and turbulence in energy in the sea.

I humbly Thank all the sadhaks on Facebook Official Shivyog Page for sharing the above Gems for the benefit of all Sadhaks and Truth Seekers. I will keep updating this page in forthcoming days to add more gems as I recollect them or brought to my notice by Sadhaks who attended it.

More Gems:

1. Babaji stressed all Mumbai & Gujarat Sadhaks to perform Sri Vidya Sadhana 3 thrice a day without fail and warned of Turbulence in Water elements esp. in Monsoon. He also warned all Sadhaks not to venture into Sea, River etc.

2. All Energies enter thru Chakras, then Pran Sharir & then Physical Body. Reciting Durga Shaptashi & doing SV Sadhana protects the chakras and Spinal cord as it links to all body parts via Nerves.

3. On the last day, Baba told all Sadhaks that I am now entrusting all of you the task to save and uplift the humanity by your Sadhana and raise the conscious of mother earth and all into the 4th Dimension. Negative Energies are very powerful but the mere presence of a regular SV sadhak and his Sadhana power will nullify all -ve energies in his house and nearby vicinity.

Namah Shivay.
