JYOTISH JEWELRY

Q: do You recommend to remove the rings during night time when we sleep?

Guruji: no, you sleep with them.

Q: I observe that with them or without them the effect is very different?

Guruji: yes, keep them. Keep all of them.

Q: from incarnation to incarnation: if for example in the first life Saturn was very good and powerful- will it repeat in the next incarnation?

Guruji: not always, depend on your karmas – as a result of your karmas. But if you’re influenced by strong Jupiter – that means your karmas are going to be more better: so according to those karmas you maybe again have the strong Jupiter.

Q: only with Jupiter such situation can be?

Guruji: oh, any – it depends on karma.

NATURAL SHIVALINGAM 

With every finding of natural Shivalingam we can say it’s a surest sign of Shiva Ji appearing. Kedarnath and Ujjain: there Shivalingams are looking very natural.

Q: in other places the stories about His appearing may be not very true?

Guruji: His appearance was there, but the Shivalingams are man-made, not exactly natural.

Q: before You initiated disciples only twice in a year: on Shivaratri and Janmashtami?

Guruji: no. it depends on how I feel.

Q: because I remember when we wanted to come for the first time someone told us that it could be done only twice in a year – that’s why we planned on Shivaratri time?

Guruji: so many rumours are still roaming on it. It’s a disturbing time because of so many people: for practice you need more calm atmosphere.

CELESTIAL WEAPON

Q: what happened with all that knowledge of weapons from Mahabharata times?

Guruji: such knowledge of weapons only could bring disturb.

Q: that I understand; but after Mahabharata there was no references that someone used it?

Guruji: only 190 years before there was one reference – it is already on record, Agneyastra. Only one we know.

Q: and Egyptians; they were not using weapons like this?

Guruji: we have never heard about it.

Q: it looks like Ashwatthaman deliberately hid all the knowledge or pack it in some safe place?

Guruji: he is still roaming around.

Q: but he didn’t teach anyone this art and knowledge?

Guruji: why? There was no qualified person.

Q: and what about the knowledge of making the alchemical gold?

Guruji: only in India.

Q: yes, the huge amount of knowledge about all the rasayanas; and all this knowledge was like frozen in time? But nowadays in different ways it maybe coming to the surface?

Guruji: the awareness is more and more.

Q: what do You think: maybe all that knowledge – including the knowledge about celestial weapons – also may become available?

Guruji: I’m sure about it. It was not for every common person, only few people were able to master them.

Q: what do You think, when Kalki will come – he will use these types of weapons?

Guruji: I think so, yes. Only immortals are knowledgeable in that. All his future company – they are extraordinary warriors. Puranas are saying – they are waiting for Kalki and be teaching him.

Q: is it mentioned somewhere, where they will be waiting for him? Some kind of residence?

Guruji: nobody knows. Some people are saying Parashuram Ji maybe in Kerala, somebody saying – Orissa; but nobody knows exactly.

WHAT TO DO?

Well, if somebody will ask me to give some commandment – how, what to do? I have only one commandment for all my friends and everybody: be happy in any situation you’re facing. Why? God lives in your heart. If god is inside your heart – why are you so sad? Remain happy!

THREE TIMES

This is the very old thing – I’ve been hearing it for last 58 years; when he listens to the joke – he laughs with everybody. When he tells the joke to another person – he laughs again with everybody. Third time – when he actually understands the joke; so – three times!

HOPE! 

My heart is very little, with very little hope: just to reach out and touch the moon and skies! Keep hoping! It’s a song from Bollywood.

PERFECT OR PER FACT 

Q: in many yoga texts it is said that mantras should be practiced a huge number of repetitions – hundreds of thousands or even million times; could we apply this principle to the Kriya yoga?

Guruji: I’m sure – if you do 1.610.000 pranayamas – then you will get the right note of it. Because all mantras are vibrations by nature of sound; by repeating them thousand times or hundred thousand times you will get the exact frequency of that vibration. And then it will work.

Q: we’re talking about single pranayama, not the whole practice?

Guruji: you will understand that pranayama after so many repetitions. First – quantity: then you can appreciate the quality. In any art: without practice, repeated practice – you’ll never be near perfect. We have already discussed, why nobody is perfect- as the saying goes: because not many people know the fact – so how they can be as per fact? So first you discover the fact – and after that you can start your training to be perfect.

Q: yes, but only after knowing all You have said before we can know the fact

Guruji: of course, yes

Q: we calculated that if You considered as mantra not the one pranayama but the whole practice; if it will be done 10000 times – it will be approximately 30 years of Kriya yoga practice?

Guruji: it should be like that, yes.

Q: only after that it could be some achievements?

Guruji: deeper understanding will come – that is wisdom. What you begin to understand is called wisdom. Otherwise it’s just information or education.

Q: in any text it’s written that if you chant mantra for 10000 times – that result will come, 1000000 – another effect will come, 1000000000 – than another effect will come?

Guruji: if the frequency is caught then you may have the effect.

Q: how it’s possible to catch the certain note in mantra?

Guruji: if you’re learning well from the Guru and your understanding is good enough – you will understand. And you will know exactly when you’re catching that particular note at this standard. The results will speak for themselves.

HOW TO RECOVERY AFTER SAMADHI!

Q: when You have experienced samadhi for 1,5 hour and that Your longest experience: the perception of the time is the same?

Guruji: no, you’re accurately aware.

Q: can You say that longer the experience – more expansion of the consciousness?

Guruji: no

Q: you did something to regenerate the body after that?

Guruji: mental sankalpa – that’s it. It took me 3-4 days. All physical systems became very slow. To do that better I was exercising but to start feel normal -it took 4-5 days.

Q: what was the toughest to recover: muscles, nervous system, skin?

Guruji: the digestive system. Skin was glowing. That’s why nauli is recommended. Everything suggested in Hatha Yoga Pradipika is specific and very profound. Everything is important what is there suggested.

Q: why the digestive system suffers more?

Guruji: because there is a food inside it and it’s not digested for 8 hours – and it disturbs.

Q: so if You prepared before…

Guruji: I did nothing

Q: but theoretically if fast for 2-3 days it will be normal?

Guruji: no, you will become weaker. Fasting doesn’t help.

TIME STANDARDS IN SAMADHI

Q: interesting why exactly 1,5 was set like the minimum duration of samadhi?

Guruji: it’s no traumatic: you’re doing nothing – but you will come out of it.

Q: we cannot set deliberately for example 15 minutes for the first time?

Guruji: no, it’s just started on that note and it continues.

Q: so you cannot jump out earlier?

Guruji: no need.

Q: it doesn’t exist the feeling that You’re seeing the body from inside?

Guruji: you know exactly how you look when you look at your body from inside.

PASHU BHAVA, VIRA BHAVA, DIVYA BHAVA 

Q: we discussed it before, but now I found the reference in Rudra Yamala Tantra: that without bhava tantra and mantra uprooted: what does it mean? What is “bhava” here: like an emotion or motivation?

Guruji: they say the bhava usually come from your heart. If you’re not putting your heart into it – you will not achieve. It’s the way of saying it. It’s applicable for any art.

Q: so if you’re doing anything very technically, but without motivation and involvement…

Guruji: the main result will go missing

Q: but mantra is the certain sound vibration: so you could repeat or produce it correct, no?

Guruji: if you have not put your heart into it – you will never catch the exact note of that vibration. Impact will be from the heart.

Q: could we say that bhavas they are talking are like the stages of the development: so for example the next one is available after rising the Kundalini?

Guruji: if you want – we can just put it there; but otherwise that bhavas is absolutely different.

Q: if we talk about Nagas: some of them – like Sheshnag – has several heads, even thousand: it depends on their clan or family?

Guruji: no, it depends on their personal power. More power they gain – more heads.

Q: they appear with the time and wisdom?

Guruji: they are permanently here.

Mahavidya or essence: when you’re putting your essence into something – only then you will get essential knowledge and the results.

Q: what is actually that pashu, vira and divya bhava?

Guruji: most of the normal people are living in pashu bhava. Vira bhava: who resolves – yes, I must attain this. And divya bhava – when you achieve something. Who has realised his purpose can be called divya.

Q: I remember when we discussed some time back – You said that You can be considered as vira because You’re living in smashan?

Guruji: because whoever living in smashan – they are called “vir”; smashan is called “vir bhumi”.

Q: then it’s very hard to imagine who can be in divya bhava

Guruji: whatever they are doing – who reached the results of it, they become divine.

Q: they are not people anymore in normal sense?

Guruji: their mind and consciousness is not normal – as we understand normal.

Q: what do You think: that who are trying to follow the path of yoga and practicing: they are in pashu bhava or in vira bhava?

Guruji: once you become aware that there is something like yoga and I must do it: then vira bhava begins- when you begin to search and when you somehow find some knowledge. I will say that information is not readily available in yoga, it is scattered; if you’re lucky enough – it will come to you. Our luck was good. And now I can look back and say: whatever ancient yoga books are saying – that is absolutely fact. If we’re not having this – that means we’re not having the right thing or we’re not able to practice it right.

Q: it concerns technics or results?

Guruji: it is called “vidya”, “yoga vidya” – never yoga technics.

Q: could we say that vidya and mantra is one and the same?

Guruji: mantra is part of any vidya. Mantra is secret knowledge. We are just started to scratch the surface. I think in the last 8 years physical changes are visible; let’s see for 4 more years – then new cycle will begin.

LORD MORPHEUS

Q: interesting that almost every tribal and ancient culture had the god of dreams; maybe it was some kind of Bhairav, connected with the land?

Guruji: no; you look at it from hindus point of view: they say – this world is a dream: so god must be the Dreamlord – endless and beginningless. He is manipulating dreams, he is a creator of shapes: so god maybe the Lord Morpheus. In a Greek mythology Morpheus is the Dream Lord – so maybe god or Brahma or other – they are the dream gods. Only they can manipulate the dream, what is happening in the dreams.

Hanuman Ji is the most powerful force in astral; and even to experience a dream – you need breathe: and he is the son of the air element; he is triggering everything. No breathing – no dreams. Hindus say: whatever we experience – it’s just a dream of the god. Everything is illusion. But reality – what is reality? It’s a dream, it’s an illusion: so as illusion – it is real: that is reality. Hindus were very deep thinkers. So god must be the Dream Lord – or the magician, who is creating this illusion. As a member of the audience we should enjoy the illusion.

Q: we must wake up from this dream?

Guruji: when you’re in a very great dream when you wake up – you’re disappointed. Better to go on sleeping.

Q: if you wake up – you can create your own dream?

Guruji: see, this is the very big problem to create your own thing: what we are creating for us? Nothing. We’re not good in creating. So make good use of the service which has been provided.

Q: it exists some cases when we can wake up and create something?

Guruji: they start to enjoy the illusion. Because when someone else is creating – you are free to criticise or praise; but if you’re doing it yourself – you won’t like criticism.

Q: who was the first creator?

Guruji: god. But then again: English word “god” means “devata” in hindi. And I don’t see any English synonym of Bhagawan and Ishwar.

Q: who is Brahma?

Guruji: Brahma means the great mind; and this is what exist and came into be – he remembered and everything begin.

Q: so he was not creating, he remember?

Guruji: he remembered – and then begin to imagine: and that imagination is the Creation.

Q: that is the question: is it possible to create without remembering?

Guruji: remembering helps you! Because it has already been done: so you can either make it better or make it worse. Suddenly out of the blue to have the very original idea for creation is not even possible for Brahma himself.

Q: so the first original creator was Shiva Ji?

Guruji: with Time everything evolves. Time is the great creator or great evolver – whatever you can call.

Q: we discussed a lot about Castaneda’s teachings – that it was mostly half-truth; but what do You think: such people themselves – could they really be the Lords of the dreams and control the dreams?

Guruji: any powerful astral being can manipulate your dream, because it is astral experience. It depends, how much powerful you’re in the astral. Power of the mind matters there.

Q; so we can see only two options here: or you are a yogi and evolving yourself – or if you’re some kind of magician and you establish the connection with someone powerful on that side?

Guruji: of course. At least we realised that Creator is the Dream Lord here. I remember Martin Luther King speech: “I have a dream” – it was fantastic.

STRONG WILL POWER 

I was asked: they saw some people on parikrama prostrating on the ground and the question was – from where they are getting this will power? My observation is: very intense devotion to Giriraj Ji provides them with the strong will power and they are able to do that. Hats off to them!

GREAT LUCK

Sudden death, no unnecessarily travelling, journey and no debts: this is considered very fortunate – this is what hindus believe.

Q: what does it mean “unnecessarily”?

Guruji: it will bother you unnecessarily, disturb you and your routine will be disturbed – so many things. You’re never relaxing when you’re journey somewhere.

HIDIMBA

Q: someone told me about beautiful Hidimba temple on the north: so she might be nearly immortal?

Guruji: she is worshipped as Shakti of all the woods, forest goddess. She must be still living somewhere. She’s Hanuman Ji sister-in-law – so she must be extraordinary.

Q: she must be the last rakshasi who is alive and in the power now?

Guruji: no, they must be more: we just don’t know about them.

NEGATION PROVES EXISTENCE

Q: Your comment to Gorakhbodh: when we decline the existence of subconsciousness  – “he” – it proves somehow that it exists; why?

Guruji: see, with 2% of mind you’re not even aware that subconscious is existing. The first thing is to develop your mind enough so you will become aware – yes, it exists. With 2% you’re not aware it is there.

Q: I don’t understand why exactly declining is proving?

Guruji: until unless the thing is already there: why you will decline it? Even if you say “it is not there” – hypothetically it has to be there. You’re not aware of it – you’re not even know about it.

 

Q: what could be the koshth chakra? It must be the kashth – what You described in Gorakhbodh?

Guruji: “koshth” is the digestive system and the stomach. It maybe Nabha chakra there; constipation is called “koshth bandhata”

PREPARATION FOR SMASHAN

Q: Your 2 years on the farm was the special preparation for smashan?

Guruji: I think so: I learned a lot about land management – all that knowledge came to my help here

Q: but You felt – it’s not the final point of Your residence?

Guruji: yes, sure.

Q: even while living on the farm You know that the permanent living will be here?

Guruji: yes, I was seeing it in visions since 1985

Q: but I remember the story when You tried to move from here and being stopped several times?

Guruji: because I was disturbed too much.

Exercising with weights taught us a lot. The principles are very similar.
