The Elders

The Elders sat in the back of the Chinese Restaurant
And passed the pipe
The moon watched from the round window
The eldest of the old.
I saw no reason to worship the young.

Bhagavan On The Antaryamin

Bhagavan on the Antaryamin:

Q: Who is god? Is God one or many?

Bhagavan:

"God is both the manifest and the un-manifest. The un-manifest God is unknown. The manifest God is known, as presence as light or as a form. God also manifests in places and icons, God also manifests through miracles, God manifests as the antaryamin, God also manifests in human beings as avatars. These are the expressions of God."

Q: What is the Antaryaminand how does the Antaryamin awaken in us?

Bhagavan:

"We often use the word God, but God means different things to different people. But actually we can define God as your higher sacred self, higher intelligence, or higher consciousness.

Sometimes you might have seen hundreds of birds flying like one bird. Have you seen this? So, actually you can know that the whole group has got a single consciousness, but the individual bird will follow the consciousness of the whole pack. Sometimes you will find one or two birds dropping out and again they get back to the main flock. If we say that the individual bird is you, then that full total bird consisting of all birds is the Antaryamin. It can be called God or higher intelligence etc. So when we say you have the Antaryamin or that Antaryamin is awakened , what it means is you are the part, are in touch with the whole. In the flock of birds, if one bird drops out of the group, two or three birds come out and help that bird to go and join back. Only then the whole thing can function. So as long as the small bird is following the big pack, you can say the small bird is following the will of the group or the pack. So if you have the Antaryamin and can talk with Him, then, ‘You’, the part is following the will of the whole or the Divine will. So it is not enough if you are willing to follow the Divine will, you must know what the Divine will is, what the will is of the higher consciousness, without which you are like a bird fallen of the pack.

You are in fact an orphan. The Antaryamin is the Whole, and to have the Antaryamin means you are in touch with the whole. The whole of human consciousness put together is more than the individual’s consciousness. It is not 1 + 1 = 2 but it is 1 +1 = 4. That is what is “Synergetic emergence”. Hydrogen and oxygen fuse to form water, whose properties are totally and fundamentally different from hydrogen and oxygen. This emerging consciousness is called God or Cosmic consciousness. And this cosmic consciousness is what is the Antaryamin.

The Antaryamin is you inner guide and your supreme friend who can guide you and protect you. Today many a time you are in conflict. What is right and wrong? what is good and bad? You unable to decide this. Even when you decide, many times you regret your decisions. But when the Antaryamin is awakened, you will exactly know how to respond to every situation of life. At every step you will have someone to guide you, on whom you can trust and who accepts you exactly as you are. And also when you have the Antaryamin, enlightenment is very easy.

So until now we have seen what is the Antaryamin and why do you need an Antaryamin. Now I will tell you how the awakening of the Antaryamin actually happens. Basically in our society, the kind of schooling, education and life style one has, you are not allowed to experience and express your emotions. You are quite suppressed. That is why some have difficulty in getting in touch with their Antaryamin. So once you have got in touch with your suppressed emotions and if you invite the Antaryamin with your whole heart, it will awaken in you in the way it chooses or in the form you desire. To have the Antaryamin is the natural state of Man, it is your birthright; it is just like breathing or digesting. In the Ancient days everybody was in touch with their Antaryamin. There were tribes in Africa a hundred years ago, who where in direct communion with their Antaryamin. They lived a wonderful life. All that you must do is, from your heart, with emotion, with great feeling and with a bond, a liking, you must invite the Antaryamin and then it will awaken in you. It is not at all difficult. You think it is difficult and have all kinds of wrong perceptions. The Antaryamin is not bothered about what kind of a person you are. The Antaryamin is your friend and so doesn’t judge you or condemn you. All it wants is that you invite it with a feeling and a bond.........."

The Awakening of the Antaryamin

Life is full of wonder and totally Divine. You do not need to understand-only live. You kiss the grass in the garden because there is grass in the garden.

And then the time comes when the gratitude is so great it overcomes you, the heart becomes very Light. You become it. You bow to your own divinity and laugh. Heaven has met Earth. Inside they are no longer at war.

Gratitude, she is the great annihilator of suffering. The bearer of enlightenment.......

Aug 6, Prayer and Mantra To Set Right World Finances

Recently I learned a mantra from Siva Baba. It is to set right finances of the world. For those who do not know of Siva Baba, he is a great master from the Siddha tradition of Tamil Nadu. Some know him as "Guruji" from Wayne Dyer's book, "Manifest Your Destiny." Many years ago I helped to coordinate some events for him in Phoenix. A master of manifestation, he helped the people in a very big way. Few in my life have ever been kinder to me.

I use mantras that I have learned for him almost daily as do many of my students. They are tremendous tools and extremely powerful.

I do not know what will happen with the chanting of this mantra so will be gathering with some friends to see. I do know that praying for others does strengthen the Karma Maya Kosha or karmic energy body and helps you to cultivate positive karma and that may in turn positively impact your own household's finances. Just to perfect 1 Kosha only can lead to enlightenment.

So if you would like to join us (expected group is 800 so far) from wherever you may be we welcome you!


Global Prayer and Mantra to set right World Finances.
Aug 6, 5:44 AM Phoenix Time or Sunrise Wherever You Are

In a little over a year our national debt has increased from $10.626,877,048,913 in Jan of 09 to $13,301,637,817,151 as of Aug 3, 2010. Other countries are in serious economic trouble as well, as are many households. Mystics have repeated told that not much can happen unless the Divine steps in. So as a group we will ask the Divine and recite a mantra for this specific purpose.

Here is the format:

Get up beforehand and shower or bathe. If not possible wash your hands and face.
Face East (where the Sun is)
If you are not outside then light a candle before you.
Simply pray, "Lord, please step in and set right the finances of the world. You must do this now."
Chant the mantra "Om Brzee Namaha 108 or better yet 1008 times if time allows.

Sometime during the day give some money away to someone or to a charity and/or pay off a debt.
We will do this practice and then watch for signs. You can email experiences to me at dharma@vedicshamanism.com .

Hope to connect with you on the 6th!


Namaste,
Dharma Dharini

The Mantra:

Enlightenment Stars

Questioner: Has there been a time in history where God and humanity were in total harmony? Why did this change?


Bhagavan: We did have such a time. God would just chat with them. In some cases the antaryamin would be eating and drinking with people. Why this changes depends on the energies the Earth receives from the cosmos – it depends on our relationship with the star 'moolam', which in turn results in changes in the human brain................

Samasarshiniji on Mulam (Moolam)

7. Ok but the foundation work is to awaken the whole world. Is your main purpose to have the whole world Enlightened?

Ans. obviously yes it is. It is history. Man in his natural state in Enlightened. That is how he is supposed to be and that’s how they are made and that is why our left cerebral cortex that part of the brain has space where by we can get in touch with the Cosmic Consciousness. But then owing to certain factors man has lost that state. Bhagavan is trying to give back that state to man, this state of Enlightenment to all of humanity.

These factors are- in this Cosmos there are several planets & planes where there is life and life is beautiful. Only in very few places things are going wrong as it is going wrong with the earth. To put it short and in a way to understand, the earth is moving in its axis and there is a star called Mulam. From this star there is cosmic radiations emanating and it falls on the earth. When ever that happens the DNA of the man functions differently and man naturally is in a different state. His senses and mind functions differently, and the mystical dimension opens up. Whenever this cosmic radiations are not received by the earth because of its revolution and the axis in which it is moving, then man’s consciousness becomes dull, the mystical dimension closes, he becomes more a physical human being. Right now at this point of time the earth is receiving the radiations from this star Mulam. The Cosmic energy is flowing on to this planet. And at this time to make this enlightenment happen to man Bhagavan has come down, to make this process happen to man so that man again shouldn’t miss this opportunity. Bhagavan has come to alter the DNA of man and that is what we are doing here.............. Continued at http://skyboom1.tripod.com/index38.html


Sitchin, who wrote The Twelfth Planet also wrote about a planet where God, the creator resides, and which is referred to as Olamin, the plural of Olam (not so far from Moolam). The Dogon tribe called it "The Egg of the World" as it is the origin of all things and without it nothing cold hold its orbit. So I wonder about the relationship if it is the same. Others say Marduk, Olam and Planet X are the same. http://www.marduk.org/

The No Sadhana Sadhana


Bhagavan was once asked "What are the sadhanas (spiritual practices) for transformation."

He replied that this sadhana we call the no sadhana.



We taught it like this in some of the yajnas and workshops:

You could say there are two beings within. One is authentic and the other not so much authentic. A man you do not like knocks at your door. The one who is authentic says, "I don't like you. Don't come in."

The other says, "Good to see you. Where have you been, my friend, come on in! How great you look!"


If you look deeper into it there is a third being of sorts who sees the whole thing. He makes no comment as to whether you are to be authentic or inauthentic. He just witnesses the whole thing.

Now this witness can be created in just 21 days with just a little effort. This seeing sadhana can give so much bliss and joy that we call it the no sadhana sadhana. 



You will have learned to just watch all the comments, ego, anger, selfishness etc in your mind without distorting it. Whatever is happening you are not disturbed. The content is not important. The question is how you perceive it. Can you perceive it in a neutral way without taking sides?

If just witnessing the dialogue is Ananda then the ceasing of the dialogue is Paramananda.

Just to drink a glass of water without the dialogue is Paramanada.


Every Reason to Worship

Since going to Satyaloka in 1998,1999, and 2000 I would have what could be considered Oneness or enlightenment experiences off and on. Once I was a Walmart in and it is almost better to be a Walmart than to be a woman (hard to describe) and I saw the entire Universe in a French Fry in the Wendy's in Morgantown WV., tried to drive home, could find no separation between myself and the mountain and wrecked the truck.  It is not difficult to be one with the desert and see what was outside is now inside, eat or fly through a bird, experience the dog as an extension of the senses yet still there was suffering. It is just a way of shifting perception, getting the mind out of an evolving and building cycle that is easily duplicated.

I suspected at times much of it was thought or imagination and my best friend, Lisa, would call it "special effects" -yet in the experience there does not appear to be thought at all-just pure experience. The perception is you clearly are what you see. Actually it is generally some thought or idea that cuts the experience.   There would be some great shifts in consciousness and then some low points. Through it all, the antaryamin has manifested internally and externally. The Supreme Friend. Even when the dog even turns away or looks at me in disgust, the Antaryamin has been there- my hero, my champion, my knight in shining armor, my lover, loving me even as I could not love truly love either him or myself.

Now some might suppose that someone is in a higher state than another because this awakening of antrayamin-this moving from belief to discovery- has occurred. I know very well first hand it is not the case. It is not that I stepped up to the antaryamin. It is that the antaryamin stepped down for me. And over and over and over-this stepping down. Such experience happens because it is necessary not because someone does something to deserve it. It is grace. I cannot say that I know God. All I can really say is if there is such a power his will is very strange. It is very evident that the awakening of the antaryamin is not the annihilation of suffering yet it's a huge part of the process-a part that keeps you from going insane- from putting a tire full of kerosene around your neck, lighting a match, and running around in the back yard until its all over. If you are truly, and I do mean truly, not superficially, going to strive to realize your condition and confront your self you are going to need one hell of a friend. Seek this awakening. It is a very simple way of seeing and then asking.

Over the last  few  years during and since returning from the 21 day process at the Golden City in 2006, there were two big insights that really helped me.  One was that gratitude and suffering cannot coexist. I saw how little gratitude there is when there is suffering and in that seeing gratitude grew.

The most recent insight (before the mukti diksha) came about one night a year or so ago when I was weeping for a relative. I found out he was really suffering physically sometimes due to his situation and some not having enough to meet some physical needs. I was crying and crying and gasping to the point of almost vomiting. I had nothing material to give that would help long term and felt so helpless. I could have put a kitchen knife in my abdomen, and it would not have been as painful as this.

The suffering escalated even more and it was like there was a shift happening -a teetering -like when you are running a long time and are really hurting and ready to drop and every muscle is screaming and suddenly this shift comes and it's pleasure. I was right about there-crossed between thinking I would die from this agony and  actually starting to feel pleasure, when suddenly the thought came: "You would feel better if you got something to eat. There is some Indian food in the freezer."  Everything brightened for a minute. "Yes! I could eat and I will feel better!" and there was hope. I lost the experience.

Then the thought came, "Loser! You can't even suffer! "

I started to sob  because I felt so sorry for myself that I could not even suffer.  Then it was like a light went off - a crack like a gunshot.   "I am suffering because I cannot suffer."   The relief was unimaginable.  Light came. It was an amazing state and I looked for suffering in the way you fiddle with you finger when you have taken off  a ring that you had worn for many years. It just wasn't there. While the 20 deekshas I have received may have helped arrive at the insight it very much appeared it is insight and not deeksha that impacts the brain and burns out the circuits of suffering so to speak.

The state would come and go and it would sometimes take some time before the perception shifted. But it was like each suffering was a learning and the following state was better.

The first mukti deeksha webcast with Bhagavan on March 20th was staggering for some time.  It was like the mind was busy bothering someone else and the state was very good. Thoughts were not arising. To see everything was automatic was a great annihilator of guilt and negative judgement.  I could actually see this.    Who can help anything?  All was forgiven-even myself.

There was a feeling of expansion- like the eyes were somewhere the ears somewhere else it was like there was no relativity and a happiness about it.  There was still a kind of feeling like I had been worrying about something but could not remember what I had been worrying about.  It was like a bad dream was behind me and the past erased.  Yet I knew the dream was there. Lurking. It was difficult to drive home.

I was doing the dishes the next morning and a soap bubble arose and hovered for a long time before my eyes as if daring me to look. I saw that I was like a piece of a whole for a moment that was enveloped for some time by a membrane. Then the bubble popped and the space inside it became indistinguishable from the air.   Oneness.

All around me there were signs and glimpses of this.  There was a rabbit that had been run over on the road and I saw how the rabbit was like the bubble.  Is this life and death? Is it death to be the bubble or life to be the bubble? Both....

Would the rabbit find another form  to live in or would it merge with the One and become indistinguishable like a drop of milk going into the ocean. Maybe it was more like sea water going back into sea water.   If so, how could it possibly return as a rabbit or in some other form in its entirety?  For eternity these waters are returning to the sea and mixing about then leaving the sea. The sea is ever changing, Without the ever changing waters coming and going it does not exist at all. Yet it does exist.

On another level there was some uneasiness about the perception of and seeking oneness.   All these shamanic type experiences of oneness with the bird, the people the crowd the trees. Of what good is it?  It appears so one sided.

A verse  came to mind by a sage called Allama.

"With your alchemies,
you achieve metals
but no essence.

With your manifold yogas
you achieve
a body but no spirit.

With your speeches and arguments
you build a chain of words
but cannot define the spirit.

If you say
you and I are One
you were me
but I was not you."


It may be that there is an experience of flying through the bird with no sense of separate existence or tasting the food another is eating, or the  heart that has merged for some time with that of another, but of what use is it to the other?  Maybe  I was them but they clearly were not aware of me.   Did this oneness experience that I had with the other help them in any way. Something is was off.

I had listened to so many  chatter about oneness with each other "Lets-all-hold-hands-in-a circle-because-we-are-really-one-with -each-other-and-the-earth- and-pray-and-meditate- together" and on and on.  Yet do we want this really even any more than the chicken  wants to walk about joined at the wing with another. We have our own porches, 3000 square foot houses, and we buy hybrid cars so we can drive to work alone and feel better about conserving gas in spite of not wanting to  carpool with the neighbors.

Everyone appears to be saying they are striving for a oneness experience with mankind or nature. To become what they see with no sense of separate existence in the name of world peace and the planet Earth. 

It was not adding up. A key was missing somewhere.

Could it be that it is Oneness with God and not the material realm that man is truly seeking-this stuff that is already there-the contents of the bubble so to speak? Could it be that is what is truly possible?  Had I been barking up the wrong tree? Did I misinterpret the assignment?

*************

At  the April 24th event there was a strangeness bordering on discomfort.  It was kind of an on edge feeling.

I started to get bored  during the chanting.  When I saw there was boredom there was shift  in the chest.  There was physical pain in the heart and I saw there was a plant there and it shot up destroying the heart and upper half of the body and flowered into an amaryllis. A red one.

"Is this the flowering of the heart?  This is kind of hokey." Was the thought.  It felt like the upper half of my body was gone and had expanded into the night. I could hear the chanting.

Then Bhagavan was standing physically in front of me looking into my eyes with concern, tapping me on the face and saying it was time to wake up. The red amaryllis was gone.  It was a waking dream.

I saw that in the thinking I was the body, mind and spirit-some eternal absolute unchanging soul that there was always going to be dreaming while awake just as there was dreaming while the body slept.  The nightmares and sweet dreams of physical sleeping and physical "waking." would always be there.  It was a chain of thought-a futile attempt to create some sense of relativity where there was none-creating untold misery-the taking something that was not there at all and building on it. The illusion of absolute truth.

I was overwhelmed with compassion as that is just how it is for mankind-this non stop dreaming with the eyes open and with the eyes closed.  No wonder we suffer so. We never wake up. No wonder the baby cries before he sleeps and cries when he awakens.

This thinking the of the body-the vehicle of the mind as myself-had made life-maybe many lifetimes almost totally irrelevant. It only dies. The relationships  will die with it as well. No wonder there is existential suffering-this loneliness and a sense of meaninglessness. How could it be otherwise in this dream state? Look at the effects of bodies trying to relate with bodies like so many living corpses.

I looked up and saw and heard these people chanting the same chant sitting in the same way all encapsulating God- this One-like soap bubbles.  All holding the essence of the Divine.  Love came. My Lord is right there in all of them. In all of me.

Could it be this Oneness with God this love of God-must come first before there is a love for or a oneness with mankind?  Otherwise its a one sided experience-a shaman's dream. A thousand locks blew open.

And the wonder of it. The relief. As soon as It is, It is no more. 

It was not like there are fireworks or anything remarkable since, outside of an acceptance of a life that is Divine. I get up in the morning just am. There is a wonder. The word is  fresh and  rich and full.  Such joy.

There is nothing left to worship and every reason to worship.

I saw in a vision a guru who declared himself to be God. One by one his students said,  "I am God,"   He wept with joy and  declared himself man.
