Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

PrefaceThe intention of this document is to be a running doc containing summaries of lectures given by Ad Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya The lectures contain both exoteric and esoteric information The esoteric information is in blue

If you understand the science behind Kranti Dharmi Sahitya then you will understand everything about 10 indriyas 5 pranas and 5 shariras (total 20) All the Gurus who have come till now have explained about one or more of these twenty Param Pujya gurudev ndash Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya has explained all the 20 through his 20 Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication

Whenever Param Pujya Gurudev uses a word in his literature it is used with a lot of importance If any Guru asks his disciples to do something and if they do not do it The law of karma is very severe on them That is why Param Pujya Gurudev does not give us instructions directly He gives the instructions in a seemingly casual manner Hence you have to be aware as to where the instruction is

Chapter 1 Donation and its importance

Samay - Time and its significanceTo understand the meaning of the title ndash ldquoSamay daan hi yug dharmrdquo we need to understand the meaning of the 4 powerful words viz - Samay Daan Yug Dharma We shall start with Samay ndash Time

What is timeWe all talk about time but what is time We need to know this before we even think about donating time

We have time because of the revolution of earth round the sun and moon round the earth Revolution of earth round the sun results in seasons and gives to yearly timelines On the other hand the revolution of moon round the earth results in a visual change in the skies through the changing phases of the moon Between the full moon called Purnima and the new moon called amavasya (no phases) there are 14 phases of the moon All human activities happen within these 14 phases Hence these are called the 14 bhuvanas in scriptures

Typically time is divided as past present and future However when we try to capture time with more and accuracy we realize that there is no present and that there is only a past and future

Master DK (Djhwal Khul) says ldquoMoney is timerdquo

Let us look at how you earn money Whenever you earn money it is always in return for the time you spend in a special type of work Many companies require that you spend specified time working in the company If you run a shop you are giving your time in running the shop This in turn fetches you money Hence the basic esoteric principle is lsquoMoney is timersquo [If you work for a purpose with others as a group or you are the leader of the same]

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 6

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

If this is true then why do people earn differently Every person on this planet from a prince to a pauper gets 24 hours every day but not everyone earns the same amount of money You earn money ldquobased on the time you spend and how you spend that timerdquo If one spends time begging he earns less than one who works in a factory A clerk earns less while a millionaire earns more It might even seem that the clerk is working harder for his money than the millionaire

Hence time is another form of money How one converts time to money depends on how the time is utilized This is an important sutra It tells us that instead of worrying about money one should focus on how to spend his time efficiently If one succeeds in this money will flow in automatically On the other hand a person who wastes his time regularly loses his efficiency just as leaking bucket wastes water

How do we increase the efficiency of utilization of time Broadly there are 5 fields of human activity These are Politics Business Science Arts Teaching They are related to the 5 principles (Tatvas) in nature Each principle is related to one Karmendriya and one Gyanendriya Hence we have five of both To develop expertise one needs to understand the basic principles of the field of activity in addition to qualities like dedication will etc As Gita says ldquoYogah Karmasu Kaushalamrdquo

PoliticsA politician works on the principle of Earth It is to be kept in mind that even here a person just by merely being a member of a political party does not gain much Only if he uses the principles and works on it he might become an MLA and even go all the way to becoming a prime minister

Fundamental characteristics of Earth principle are tolerance and forgiveness Irrespective of how we have been exploiting Mother Earth she has never retaliated It is only humans who are exploiting the Earth whereas we are only one of the 84 lakh species on Earth

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 7

You would have noticed how there are no permanent enemies in politics Politicians will tolerate and forgive anyone as long as it helps them achieve their objective Also a politician who loses an election does not lose heart He patiently waits for the next opportunity and works to achieve his goals A very good example of these virtues is Abraham Lincoln who faced multiple failures upto 60 times in his political career yet persevered and eventually succeeded He went on to change the face of United States of America Many presidents later claimed that they had seen or heard him in the White House Can you see how Lincoln used the principle of earth used in his life

Here are some hints on sadhanas for the earth principle These are based on another esoteric principle ldquoMoney is crystallized pranardquo A good example is Param Pujya Gurudev who by the virtue of this principle developed the Gayatri Parivar He would say lsquothere is not a rupee in my pocket but works worth crores get

donersquo Another example is the Venkateshwara temple at Tirumala Today Lord Venkateshwara is in the form of an idol in Tirumala Yet the pranic energy is so great that the temple is the richest in the world By this the following equation emerges

MONEY TIME PRANA

Time for us if we understand only past (money) or future(prana)

Hence to efficiently utilize time the only sadhana for humanity is Gayatri ndash Gayaan traayate iti Gayatri Read the three volumes of Gayatri maha Vigyan to understand the science behind it

To understand how this lsquoMaharsquo science is related to everything in the worls let us see how various volumes are related to the plant kingdom

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 1 talks about working for the development of self and family This is like the bees that work all over and get honey for the family

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 2 talks about tantra This is related to lemon

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 3 is related to the pranamaya shareera Tulasi is the plant that has the highest prana

Tulasi ndash Money as prana for devas ndash punyaka vratha ndash Gayatri Maha Vigyan Vol III]

The key organs for earth principle are the nose (Jnanendriya for smell) and the anus (Karmendriya to throw out used waste) You have to understand the meaning of waste When we are trying to extract copper through electrolysis the unwanted material is thrown as lsquomudrsquo Though this lsquomudrsquo contains expensive materials like gold and silver it is waste in this context as we are looking for copper

Kapalabhati pranayam done under the guidance of a Guru is of very great benefit because the use of water (jala tattva karmendriya) which is related to the

urinary organs reproductive organs and anus( excretory organ) that gives back to the earth cycle

Esoteric aspects of sadhanas

1 LAM is the beejakshara for muladhara which governs the earth principle in us If you observe the shape of our nose you can see the Sanskrit letter LAM Similarly the shape of hips also resembles LAM Apana vayu flows through the digestive system and exits through the anus Many of the present day diseases exist in us because ldquowe donrsquot

forgive others kshama and donrsquot have patience - sahanardquo ndash we do not follow the earth principle Learn from Shirdi Sai who gave the message of shraddha and saburi Kapalabhati fixes it It gives these 2 qualities to you That is why Kapalabhati done properly gives cure from many diseases including cancer heart trouble and diabetes You can learn more in a video by Baba Ramdev at httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=GF_Kj6vFPd8 A guru is very important Even with an image of the Guru a student can become like Ekalavya but this happens only rarely We should have a direct guru and you can become Arjuna You should do Asanas and pranayama together for a maximum of 30 minutes Pranayama for longer duration is recommended by an expert to only people suffering from chronic diseases Be very careful while doing pranayama You should be comfortable while doing it Increase the duration gradually The moment discomfort is felt stop it If you have done it for 10 minutes comfortably on some

day and the next day you feel a discomfort after 5 minutes stop there

2 The Varaha avatar of Vishnu emanated from the nose of Brahma The Varaha eventually lifted earth As can be seen Varaha avatara is present in the Brain stem in our body

With these 2 qualities of tolerance and forgiveness one can become ldquoChakravartirdquo on the planet earth One who has mastered his chakras can become an emperor on earth if he so wishes One who has mastered all the seven chakras becomes a chakravarti 7 times over Patanjali was one such master That is why Patanjali is shown to have 7 hoods

Questions

1 What is the meaning of time2 What should be onersquos attitude towards earning more money3 Why do different people earn differently even though they spend the same

amount of time4 How do you improve your returns on the time spent5 What are the 5 broad fields of human activity

Further activities1 Ponder on how muladhara chakra helps in developing excellence in politics

or any other field of excellence2 Ponder over how Politicians use the anus as a karmendriya and nose as

gyanendriya3 Use Kapal bhati as per the instructions of a good teacher like Baba Ramdev

Daan - Donation and its significanceYesterday the focus of the talk was on Samay The second word in the title is Daan We will talk about daan and its importance

What is daan

The words daan and punya are related and their results are also similar Daan (donating offering etc) means to give When you give something you earn punya Both daan and punya have beneficial effects in the physical plane and in the subtle planes In the physical plane daan results in progress (pragati) success (saphalata) and greatness (varishthata) Whenever you do a daan it should give you all of the 3 mentioned above If you miss out on any or all of these it means that whatever you did was not a daan This gives rise to the equation

Donation = Progress Success Greatness

Daan = pragati saphalata varishtata

Whenever you donate something it helps you evolve Let us see some definitions on evolution

Synthesis of Yoga Page 6Sri Aurobindo says lsquoYoga (we are utilizing daana instead of yoga to evolve) as Swami Vivekananda has said may be regarded as a means of compressing onersquos evolution into a single life or a few years or even a few months of bodily existencersquo

Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121

Tivra samvegaanaam aasannahTivra=extremely samvegaanaam=intense vehement asannah=nearFor those who seek liberation wholeheartedly realization is near

Param Pujya Gurudev is asking us to give Samay daan ansh daan and pratibha daana for hastening your evolution When you hear about speeding up of evolution by Vivekananda do you understand its true significance Whenever you

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 13

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 15

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 17

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 18

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

4 If a soldier kills enemies in a war he is honored On the other hand if he kills his neighbor at home then he is jailed Why

5 List all your activities that are propelled by the sankalpa of your Iccha shakti

Further activities

1 Ponder over how people like Karna Harishchandra Dadhichi Bali Bhama Shah and others achieved greatness through daana

2 Ponder how many of the dharmashalas and shelters were built by businessmen (shreshthis)

3 Ponder on the significance of Gajendra Moksha4 Sai proved that he is present even in his photos Is this true for only Sairsquos

photos Learn to use this with all photographs5 What is the meaning of the mystic statement ldquogive daan of the remaining

yearsrdquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 19

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

PrefaceThe intention of this document is to be a running doc containing summaries of lectures given by Ad Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya The lectures contain both exoteric and esoteric information The esoteric information is in blue

If you understand the science behind Kranti Dharmi Sahitya then you will understand everything about 10 indriyas 5 pranas and 5 shariras (total 20) All the Gurus who have come till now have explained about one or more of these twenty Param Pujya gurudev ndash Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya has explained all the 20 through his 20 Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication

Whenever Param Pujya Gurudev uses a word in his literature it is used with a lot of importance If any Guru asks his disciples to do something and if they do not do it The law of karma is very severe on them That is why Param Pujya Gurudev does not give us instructions directly He gives the instructions in a seemingly casual manner Hence you have to be aware as to where the instruction is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 5

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 1 Donation and its importance

Samay - Time and its significanceTo understand the meaning of the title ndash ldquoSamay daan hi yug dharmrdquo we need to understand the meaning of the 4 powerful words viz - Samay Daan Yug Dharma We shall start with Samay ndash Time

What is timeWe all talk about time but what is time We need to know this before we even think about donating time

We have time because of the revolution of earth round the sun and moon round the earth Revolution of earth round the sun results in seasons and gives to yearly timelines On the other hand the revolution of moon round the earth results in a visual change in the skies through the changing phases of the moon Between the full moon called Purnima and the new moon called amavasya (no phases) there are 14 phases of the moon All human activities happen within these 14 phases Hence these are called the 14 bhuvanas in scriptures

Typically time is divided as past present and future However when we try to capture time with more and accuracy we realize that there is no present and that there is only a past and future

Master DK (Djhwal Khul) says ldquoMoney is timerdquo

Let us look at how you earn money Whenever you earn money it is always in return for the time you spend in a special type of work Many companies require that you spend specified time working in the company If you run a shop you are giving your time in running the shop This in turn fetches you money Hence the basic esoteric principle is lsquoMoney is timersquo [If you work for a purpose with others as a group or you are the leader of the same]

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 6

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

If this is true then why do people earn differently Every person on this planet from a prince to a pauper gets 24 hours every day but not everyone earns the same amount of money You earn money ldquobased on the time you spend and how you spend that timerdquo If one spends time begging he earns less than one who works in a factory A clerk earns less while a millionaire earns more It might even seem that the clerk is working harder for his money than the millionaire

Hence time is another form of money How one converts time to money depends on how the time is utilized This is an important sutra It tells us that instead of worrying about money one should focus on how to spend his time efficiently If one succeeds in this money will flow in automatically On the other hand a person who wastes his time regularly loses his efficiency just as leaking bucket wastes water

How do we increase the efficiency of utilization of time Broadly there are 5 fields of human activity These are Politics Business Science Arts Teaching They are related to the 5 principles (Tatvas) in nature Each principle is related to one Karmendriya and one Gyanendriya Hence we have five of both To develop expertise one needs to understand the basic principles of the field of activity in addition to qualities like dedication will etc As Gita says ldquoYogah Karmasu Kaushalamrdquo

PoliticsA politician works on the principle of Earth It is to be kept in mind that even here a person just by merely being a member of a political party does not gain much Only if he uses the principles and works on it he might become an MLA and even go all the way to becoming a prime minister

Fundamental characteristics of Earth principle are tolerance and forgiveness Irrespective of how we have been exploiting Mother Earth she has never retaliated It is only humans who are exploiting the Earth whereas we are only one of the 84 lakh species on Earth

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 7

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

You would have noticed how there are no permanent enemies in politics Politicians will tolerate and forgive anyone as long as it helps them achieve their objective Also a politician who loses an election does not lose heart He patiently waits for the next opportunity and works to achieve his goals A very good example of these virtues is Abraham Lincoln who faced multiple failures upto 60 times in his political career yet persevered and eventually succeeded He went on to change the face of United States of America Many presidents later claimed that they had seen or heard him in the White House Can you see how Lincoln used the principle of earth used in his life

Here are some hints on sadhanas for the earth principle These are based on another esoteric principle ldquoMoney is crystallized pranardquo A good example is Param Pujya Gurudev who by the virtue of this principle developed the Gayatri Parivar He would say lsquothere is not a rupee in my pocket but works worth crores get

donersquo Another example is the Venkateshwara temple at Tirumala Today Lord Venkateshwara is in the form of an idol in Tirumala Yet the pranic energy is so great that the temple is the richest in the world By this the following equation emerges

MONEY TIME PRANA

Time for us if we understand only past (money) or future(prana)

Hence to efficiently utilize time the only sadhana for humanity is Gayatri ndash Gayaan traayate iti Gayatri Read the three volumes of Gayatri maha Vigyan to understand the science behind it

To understand how this lsquoMaharsquo science is related to everything in the worls let us see how various volumes are related to the plant kingdom

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 1 talks about working for the development of self and family This is like the bees that work all over and get honey for the family

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 2 talks about tantra This is related to lemon

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 3 is related to the pranamaya shareera Tulasi is the plant that has the highest prana

Tulasi ndash Money as prana for devas ndash punyaka vratha ndash Gayatri Maha Vigyan Vol III]

The key organs for earth principle are the nose (Jnanendriya for smell) and the anus (Karmendriya to throw out used waste) You have to understand the meaning of waste When we are trying to extract copper through electrolysis the unwanted material is thrown as lsquomudrsquo Though this lsquomudrsquo contains expensive materials like gold and silver it is waste in this context as we are looking for copper

Kapalabhati pranayam done under the guidance of a Guru is of very great benefit because the use of water (jala tattva karmendriya) which is related to the

Esoteric aspects of sadhanas

1 LAM is the beejakshara for muladhara which governs the earth principle in us If you observe the shape of our nose you can see the Sanskrit letter LAM Similarly the shape of hips also resembles LAM Apana vayu flows through the digestive system and exits through the anus Many of the present day diseases exist in us because ldquowe donrsquot

forgive others kshama and donrsquot have patience - sahanardquo ndash we do not follow the earth principle Learn from Shirdi Sai who gave the message of shraddha and saburi Kapalabhati fixes it It gives these 2 qualities to you That is why Kapalabhati done properly gives cure from many diseases including cancer heart trouble and diabetes You can learn more in a video by Baba Ramdev at httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=GF_Kj6vFPd8 A guru is very important Even with an image of the Guru a student can become like Ekalavya but this happens only rarely We should have a direct guru and you can become Arjuna You should do Asanas and pranayama together for a maximum of 30 minutes Pranayama for longer duration is recommended by an expert to only people suffering from chronic diseases Be very careful while doing pranayama You should be comfortable while doing it Increase the duration gradually The moment discomfort is felt stop it If you have done it for 10 minutes comfortably on some

2 The Varaha avatar of Vishnu emanated from the nose of Brahma The Varaha eventually lifted earth As can be seen Varaha avatara is present in the Brain stem in our body

With these 2 qualities of tolerance and forgiveness one can become ldquoChakravartirdquo on the planet earth One who has mastered his chakras can become an emperor on earth if he so wishes One who has mastered all the seven chakras becomes a chakravarti 7 times over Patanjali was one such master That is why Patanjali is shown to have 7 hoods

Daan - Donation and its significanceYesterday the focus of the talk was on Samay The second word in the title is Daan We will talk about daan and its importance

What is daan

The words daan and punya are related and their results are also similar Daan (donating offering etc) means to give When you give something you earn punya Both daan and punya have beneficial effects in the physical plane and in the subtle planes In the physical plane daan results in progress (pragati) success (saphalata) and greatness (varishthata) Whenever you do a daan it should give you all of the 3 mentioned above If you miss out on any or all of these it means that whatever you did was not a daan This gives rise to the equation

Donation = Progress Success Greatness

Daan = pragati saphalata varishtata

Whenever you donate something it helps you evolve Let us see some definitions on evolution

Synthesis of Yoga Page 6Sri Aurobindo says lsquoYoga (we are utilizing daana instead of yoga to evolve) as Swami Vivekananda has said may be regarded as a means of compressing onersquos evolution into a single life or a few years or even a few months of bodily existencersquo

Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121

Tivra samvegaanaam aasannahTivra=extremely samvegaanaam=intense vehement asannah=nearFor those who seek liberation wholeheartedly realization is near

Param Pujya Gurudev is asking us to give Samay daan ansh daan and pratibha daana for hastening your evolution When you hear about speeding up of evolution by Vivekananda do you understand its true significance Whenever you

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 13

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 15

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 17

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 19

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Tulsi Gayatri

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

PrefaceThe intention of this document is to be a running doc containing summaries of lectures given by Ad Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya The lectures contain both exoteric and esoteric information The esoteric information is in blue

If you understand the science behind Kranti Dharmi Sahitya then you will understand everything about 10 indriyas 5 pranas and 5 shariras (total 20) All the Gurus who have come till now have explained about one or more of these twenty Param Pujya gurudev ndash Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya has explained all the 20 through his 20 Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication

Whenever Param Pujya Gurudev uses a word in his literature it is used with a lot of importance If any Guru asks his disciples to do something and if they do not do it The law of karma is very severe on them That is why Param Pujya Gurudev does not give us instructions directly He gives the instructions in a seemingly casual manner Hence you have to be aware as to where the instruction is

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 1 Donation and its importance

Samay - Time and its significanceTo understand the meaning of the title ndash ldquoSamay daan hi yug dharmrdquo we need to understand the meaning of the 4 powerful words viz - Samay Daan Yug Dharma We shall start with Samay ndash Time

What is timeWe all talk about time but what is time We need to know this before we even think about donating time

We have time because of the revolution of earth round the sun and moon round the earth Revolution of earth round the sun results in seasons and gives to yearly timelines On the other hand the revolution of moon round the earth results in a visual change in the skies through the changing phases of the moon Between the full moon called Purnima and the new moon called amavasya (no phases) there are 14 phases of the moon All human activities happen within these 14 phases Hence these are called the 14 bhuvanas in scriptures

Typically time is divided as past present and future However when we try to capture time with more and accuracy we realize that there is no present and that there is only a past and future

Master DK (Djhwal Khul) says ldquoMoney is timerdquo

Let us look at how you earn money Whenever you earn money it is always in return for the time you spend in a special type of work Many companies require that you spend specified time working in the company If you run a shop you are giving your time in running the shop This in turn fetches you money Hence the basic esoteric principle is lsquoMoney is timersquo [If you work for a purpose with others as a group or you are the leader of the same]

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 6

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

If this is true then why do people earn differently Every person on this planet from a prince to a pauper gets 24 hours every day but not everyone earns the same amount of money You earn money ldquobased on the time you spend and how you spend that timerdquo If one spends time begging he earns less than one who works in a factory A clerk earns less while a millionaire earns more It might even seem that the clerk is working harder for his money than the millionaire

Hence time is another form of money How one converts time to money depends on how the time is utilized This is an important sutra It tells us that instead of worrying about money one should focus on how to spend his time efficiently If one succeeds in this money will flow in automatically On the other hand a person who wastes his time regularly loses his efficiency just as leaking bucket wastes water

How do we increase the efficiency of utilization of time Broadly there are 5 fields of human activity These are Politics Business Science Arts Teaching They are related to the 5 principles (Tatvas) in nature Each principle is related to one Karmendriya and one Gyanendriya Hence we have five of both To develop expertise one needs to understand the basic principles of the field of activity in addition to qualities like dedication will etc As Gita says ldquoYogah Karmasu Kaushalamrdquo

PoliticsA politician works on the principle of Earth It is to be kept in mind that even here a person just by merely being a member of a political party does not gain much Only if he uses the principles and works on it he might become an MLA and even go all the way to becoming a prime minister

Fundamental characteristics of Earth principle are tolerance and forgiveness Irrespective of how we have been exploiting Mother Earth she has never retaliated It is only humans who are exploiting the Earth whereas we are only one of the 84 lakh species on Earth

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 7

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

You would have noticed how there are no permanent enemies in politics Politicians will tolerate and forgive anyone as long as it helps them achieve their objective Also a politician who loses an election does not lose heart He patiently waits for the next opportunity and works to achieve his goals A very good example of these virtues is Abraham Lincoln who faced multiple failures upto 60 times in his political career yet persevered and eventually succeeded He went on to change the face of United States of America Many presidents later claimed that they had seen or heard him in the White House Can you see how Lincoln used the principle of earth used in his life

Here are some hints on sadhanas for the earth principle These are based on another esoteric principle ldquoMoney is crystallized pranardquo A good example is Param Pujya Gurudev who by the virtue of this principle developed the Gayatri Parivar He would say lsquothere is not a rupee in my pocket but works worth crores get

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 8

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

donersquo Another example is the Venkateshwara temple at Tirumala Today Lord Venkateshwara is in the form of an idol in Tirumala Yet the pranic energy is so great that the temple is the richest in the world By this the following equation emerges

MONEY TIME PRANA

Time for us if we understand only past (money) or future(prana)

Hence to efficiently utilize time the only sadhana for humanity is Gayatri ndash Gayaan traayate iti Gayatri Read the three volumes of Gayatri maha Vigyan to understand the science behind it

To understand how this lsquoMaharsquo science is related to everything in the worls let us see how various volumes are related to the plant kingdom

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 1 talks about working for the development of self and family This is like the bees that work all over and get honey for the family

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 2 talks about tantra This is related to lemon

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 3 is related to the pranamaya shareera Tulasi is the plant that has the highest prana

Tulasi ndash Money as prana for devas ndash punyaka vratha ndash Gayatri Maha Vigyan Vol III]

The key organs for earth principle are the nose (Jnanendriya for smell) and the anus (Karmendriya to throw out used waste) You have to understand the meaning of waste When we are trying to extract copper through electrolysis the unwanted material is thrown as lsquomudrsquo Though this lsquomudrsquo contains expensive materials like gold and silver it is waste in this context as we are looking for copper

Kapalabhati pranayam done under the guidance of a Guru is of very great benefit because the use of water (jala tattva karmendriya) which is related to the

urinary organs reproductive organs and anus( excretory organ) that gives back to the earth cycle

Esoteric aspects of sadhanas

1 LAM is the beejakshara for muladhara which governs the earth principle in us If you observe the shape of our nose you can see the Sanskrit letter LAM Similarly the shape of hips also resembles LAM Apana vayu flows through the digestive system and exits through the anus Many of the present day diseases exist in us because ldquowe donrsquot

forgive others kshama and donrsquot have patience - sahanardquo ndash we do not follow the earth principle Learn from Shirdi Sai who gave the message of shraddha and saburi Kapalabhati fixes it It gives these 2 qualities to you That is why Kapalabhati done properly gives cure from many diseases including cancer heart trouble and diabetes You can learn more in a video by Baba Ramdev at httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=GF_Kj6vFPd8 A guru is very important Even with an image of the Guru a student can become like Ekalavya but this happens only rarely We should have a direct guru and you can become Arjuna You should do Asanas and pranayama together for a maximum of 30 minutes Pranayama for longer duration is recommended by an expert to only people suffering from chronic diseases Be very careful while doing pranayama You should be comfortable while doing it Increase the duration gradually The moment discomfort is felt stop it If you have done it for 10 minutes comfortably on some

day and the next day you feel a discomfort after 5 minutes stop there

2 The Varaha avatar of Vishnu emanated from the nose of Brahma The Varaha eventually lifted earth As can be seen Varaha avatara is present in the Brain stem in our body

With these 2 qualities of tolerance and forgiveness one can become ldquoChakravartirdquo on the planet earth One who has mastered his chakras can become an emperor on earth if he so wishes One who has mastered all the seven chakras becomes a chakravarti 7 times over Patanjali was one such master That is why Patanjali is shown to have 7 hoods

Daan - Donation and its significanceYesterday the focus of the talk was on Samay The second word in the title is Daan We will talk about daan and its importance

What is daan

The words daan and punya are related and their results are also similar Daan (donating offering etc) means to give When you give something you earn punya Both daan and punya have beneficial effects in the physical plane and in the subtle planes In the physical plane daan results in progress (pragati) success (saphalata) and greatness (varishthata) Whenever you do a daan it should give you all of the 3 mentioned above If you miss out on any or all of these it means that whatever you did was not a daan This gives rise to the equation

Donation = Progress Success Greatness

Daan = pragati saphalata varishtata

Whenever you donate something it helps you evolve Let us see some definitions on evolution

Synthesis of Yoga Page 6Sri Aurobindo says lsquoYoga (we are utilizing daana instead of yoga to evolve) as Swami Vivekananda has said may be regarded as a means of compressing onersquos evolution into a single life or a few years or even a few months of bodily existencersquo

Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121

Tivra samvegaanaam aasannahTivra=extremely samvegaanaam=intense vehement asannah=nearFor those who seek liberation wholeheartedly realization is near

Param Pujya Gurudev is asking us to give Samay daan ansh daan and pratibha daana for hastening your evolution When you hear about speeding up of evolution by Vivekananda do you understand its true significance Whenever you

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 13

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Tulsi Gayatri

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

PrefaceThe intention of this document is to be a running doc containing summaries of lectures given by Ad Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya The lectures contain both exoteric and esoteric information The esoteric information is in blue

If you understand the science behind Kranti Dharmi Sahitya then you will understand everything about 10 indriyas 5 pranas and 5 shariras (total 20) All the Gurus who have come till now have explained about one or more of these twenty Param Pujya gurudev ndash Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya has explained all the 20 through his 20 Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication

Whenever Param Pujya Gurudev uses a word in his literature it is used with a lot of importance If any Guru asks his disciples to do something and if they do not do it The law of karma is very severe on them That is why Param Pujya Gurudev does not give us instructions directly He gives the instructions in a seemingly casual manner Hence you have to be aware as to where the instruction is

Chapter 1 Donation and its importance

Samay - Time and its significanceTo understand the meaning of the title ndash ldquoSamay daan hi yug dharmrdquo we need to understand the meaning of the 4 powerful words viz - Samay Daan Yug Dharma We shall start with Samay ndash Time

What is timeWe all talk about time but what is time We need to know this before we even think about donating time

We have time because of the revolution of earth round the sun and moon round the earth Revolution of earth round the sun results in seasons and gives to yearly timelines On the other hand the revolution of moon round the earth results in a visual change in the skies through the changing phases of the moon Between the full moon called Purnima and the new moon called amavasya (no phases) there are 14 phases of the moon All human activities happen within these 14 phases Hence these are called the 14 bhuvanas in scriptures

Typically time is divided as past present and future However when we try to capture time with more and accuracy we realize that there is no present and that there is only a past and future

Master DK (Djhwal Khul) says ldquoMoney is timerdquo

Let us look at how you earn money Whenever you earn money it is always in return for the time you spend in a special type of work Many companies require that you spend specified time working in the company If you run a shop you are giving your time in running the shop This in turn fetches you money Hence the basic esoteric principle is lsquoMoney is timersquo [If you work for a purpose with others as a group or you are the leader of the same]

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 6

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

If this is true then why do people earn differently Every person on this planet from a prince to a pauper gets 24 hours every day but not everyone earns the same amount of money You earn money ldquobased on the time you spend and how you spend that timerdquo If one spends time begging he earns less than one who works in a factory A clerk earns less while a millionaire earns more It might even seem that the clerk is working harder for his money than the millionaire

Hence time is another form of money How one converts time to money depends on how the time is utilized This is an important sutra It tells us that instead of worrying about money one should focus on how to spend his time efficiently If one succeeds in this money will flow in automatically On the other hand a person who wastes his time regularly loses his efficiency just as leaking bucket wastes water

How do we increase the efficiency of utilization of time Broadly there are 5 fields of human activity These are Politics Business Science Arts Teaching They are related to the 5 principles (Tatvas) in nature Each principle is related to one Karmendriya and one Gyanendriya Hence we have five of both To develop expertise one needs to understand the basic principles of the field of activity in addition to qualities like dedication will etc As Gita says ldquoYogah Karmasu Kaushalamrdquo

PoliticsA politician works on the principle of Earth It is to be kept in mind that even here a person just by merely being a member of a political party does not gain much Only if he uses the principles and works on it he might become an MLA and even go all the way to becoming a prime minister

Fundamental characteristics of Earth principle are tolerance and forgiveness Irrespective of how we have been exploiting Mother Earth she has never retaliated It is only humans who are exploiting the Earth whereas we are only one of the 84 lakh species on Earth

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 7

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

You would have noticed how there are no permanent enemies in politics Politicians will tolerate and forgive anyone as long as it helps them achieve their objective Also a politician who loses an election does not lose heart He patiently waits for the next opportunity and works to achieve his goals A very good example of these virtues is Abraham Lincoln who faced multiple failures upto 60 times in his political career yet persevered and eventually succeeded He went on to change the face of United States of America Many presidents later claimed that they had seen or heard him in the White House Can you see how Lincoln used the principle of earth used in his life

Here are some hints on sadhanas for the earth principle These are based on another esoteric principle ldquoMoney is crystallized pranardquo A good example is Param Pujya Gurudev who by the virtue of this principle developed the Gayatri Parivar He would say lsquothere is not a rupee in my pocket but works worth crores get

donersquo Another example is the Venkateshwara temple at Tirumala Today Lord Venkateshwara is in the form of an idol in Tirumala Yet the pranic energy is so great that the temple is the richest in the world By this the following equation emerges

MONEY TIME PRANA

Time for us if we understand only past (money) or future(prana)

Hence to efficiently utilize time the only sadhana for humanity is Gayatri ndash Gayaan traayate iti Gayatri Read the three volumes of Gayatri maha Vigyan to understand the science behind it

To understand how this lsquoMaharsquo science is related to everything in the worls let us see how various volumes are related to the plant kingdom

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 1 talks about working for the development of self and family This is like the bees that work all over and get honey for the family

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 2 talks about tantra This is related to lemon

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 3 is related to the pranamaya shareera Tulasi is the plant that has the highest prana

Tulasi ndash Money as prana for devas ndash punyaka vratha ndash Gayatri Maha Vigyan Vol III]

The key organs for earth principle are the nose (Jnanendriya for smell) and the anus (Karmendriya to throw out used waste) You have to understand the meaning of waste When we are trying to extract copper through electrolysis the unwanted material is thrown as lsquomudrsquo Though this lsquomudrsquo contains expensive materials like gold and silver it is waste in this context as we are looking for copper

Kapalabhati pranayam done under the guidance of a Guru is of very great benefit because the use of water (jala tattva karmendriya) which is related to the

urinary organs reproductive organs and anus( excretory organ) that gives back to the earth cycle

Esoteric aspects of sadhanas

1 LAM is the beejakshara for muladhara which governs the earth principle in us If you observe the shape of our nose you can see the Sanskrit letter LAM Similarly the shape of hips also resembles LAM Apana vayu flows through the digestive system and exits through the anus Many of the present day diseases exist in us because ldquowe donrsquot

forgive others kshama and donrsquot have patience - sahanardquo ndash we do not follow the earth principle Learn from Shirdi Sai who gave the message of shraddha and saburi Kapalabhati fixes it It gives these 2 qualities to you That is why Kapalabhati done properly gives cure from many diseases including cancer heart trouble and diabetes You can learn more in a video by Baba Ramdev at httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=GF_Kj6vFPd8 A guru is very important Even with an image of the Guru a student can become like Ekalavya but this happens only rarely We should have a direct guru and you can become Arjuna You should do Asanas and pranayama together for a maximum of 30 minutes Pranayama for longer duration is recommended by an expert to only people suffering from chronic diseases Be very careful while doing pranayama You should be comfortable while doing it Increase the duration gradually The moment discomfort is felt stop it If you have done it for 10 minutes comfortably on some

day and the next day you feel a discomfort after 5 minutes stop there

2 The Varaha avatar of Vishnu emanated from the nose of Brahma The Varaha eventually lifted earth As can be seen Varaha avatara is present in the Brain stem in our body

With these 2 qualities of tolerance and forgiveness one can become ldquoChakravartirdquo on the planet earth One who has mastered his chakras can become an emperor on earth if he so wishes One who has mastered all the seven chakras becomes a chakravarti 7 times over Patanjali was one such master That is why Patanjali is shown to have 7 hoods

Daan - Donation and its significanceYesterday the focus of the talk was on Samay The second word in the title is Daan We will talk about daan and its importance

What is daan

The words daan and punya are related and their results are also similar Daan (donating offering etc) means to give When you give something you earn punya Both daan and punya have beneficial effects in the physical plane and in the subtle planes In the physical plane daan results in progress (pragati) success (saphalata) and greatness (varishthata) Whenever you do a daan it should give you all of the 3 mentioned above If you miss out on any or all of these it means that whatever you did was not a daan This gives rise to the equation

Donation = Progress Success Greatness

Daan = pragati saphalata varishtata

Whenever you donate something it helps you evolve Let us see some definitions on evolution

Synthesis of Yoga Page 6Sri Aurobindo says lsquoYoga (we are utilizing daana instead of yoga to evolve) as Swami Vivekananda has said may be regarded as a means of compressing onersquos evolution into a single life or a few years or even a few months of bodily existencersquo

Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121

Tivra samvegaanaam aasannahTivra=extremely samvegaanaam=intense vehement asannah=nearFor those who seek liberation wholeheartedly realization is near

Param Pujya Gurudev is asking us to give Samay daan ansh daan and pratibha daana for hastening your evolution When you hear about speeding up of evolution by Vivekananda do you understand its true significance Whenever you

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 13

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 15

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 17

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

2 Ponder over how you can donate time in swapna state also (Hint Scientists authors are good examples)

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

KDS 20 Samay daan hee yug dharm

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 5

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 1 Donation and its importance

Samay - Time and its significanceTo understand the meaning of the title ndash ldquoSamay daan hi yug dharmrdquo we need to understand the meaning of the 4 powerful words viz - Samay Daan Yug Dharma We shall start with Samay ndash Time

What is timeWe all talk about time but what is time We need to know this before we even think about donating time

We have time because of the revolution of earth round the sun and moon round the earth Revolution of earth round the sun results in seasons and gives to yearly timelines On the other hand the revolution of moon round the earth results in a visual change in the skies through the changing phases of the moon Between the full moon called Purnima and the new moon called amavasya (no phases) there are 14 phases of the moon All human activities happen within these 14 phases Hence these are called the 14 bhuvanas in scriptures

Typically time is divided as past present and future However when we try to capture time with more and accuracy we realize that there is no present and that there is only a past and future

Master DK (Djhwal Khul) says ldquoMoney is timerdquo

Let us look at how you earn money Whenever you earn money it is always in return for the time you spend in a special type of work Many companies require that you spend specified time working in the company If you run a shop you are giving your time in running the shop This in turn fetches you money Hence the basic esoteric principle is lsquoMoney is timersquo [If you work for a purpose with others as a group or you are the leader of the same]

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 6

If this is true then why do people earn differently Every person on this planet from a prince to a pauper gets 24 hours every day but not everyone earns the same amount of money You earn money ldquobased on the time you spend and how you spend that timerdquo If one spends time begging he earns less than one who works in a factory A clerk earns less while a millionaire earns more It might even seem that the clerk is working harder for his money than the millionaire

Hence time is another form of money How one converts time to money depends on how the time is utilized This is an important sutra It tells us that instead of worrying about money one should focus on how to spend his time efficiently If one succeeds in this money will flow in automatically On the other hand a person who wastes his time regularly loses his efficiency just as leaking bucket wastes water

How do we increase the efficiency of utilization of time Broadly there are 5 fields of human activity These are Politics Business Science Arts Teaching They are related to the 5 principles (Tatvas) in nature Each principle is related to one Karmendriya and one Gyanendriya Hence we have five of both To develop expertise one needs to understand the basic principles of the field of activity in addition to qualities like dedication will etc As Gita says ldquoYogah Karmasu Kaushalamrdquo

PoliticsA politician works on the principle of Earth It is to be kept in mind that even here a person just by merely being a member of a political party does not gain much Only if he uses the principles and works on it he might become an MLA and even go all the way to becoming a prime minister

Fundamental characteristics of Earth principle are tolerance and forgiveness Irrespective of how we have been exploiting Mother Earth she has never retaliated It is only humans who are exploiting the Earth whereas we are only one of the 84 lakh species on Earth

You would have noticed how there are no permanent enemies in politics Politicians will tolerate and forgive anyone as long as it helps them achieve their objective Also a politician who loses an election does not lose heart He patiently waits for the next opportunity and works to achieve his goals A very good example of these virtues is Abraham Lincoln who faced multiple failures upto 60 times in his political career yet persevered and eventually succeeded He went on to change the face of United States of America Many presidents later claimed that they had seen or heard him in the White House Can you see how Lincoln used the principle of earth used in his life

Here are some hints on sadhanas for the earth principle These are based on another esoteric principle ldquoMoney is crystallized pranardquo A good example is Param Pujya Gurudev who by the virtue of this principle developed the Gayatri Parivar He would say lsquothere is not a rupee in my pocket but works worth crores get

donersquo Another example is the Venkateshwara temple at Tirumala Today Lord Venkateshwara is in the form of an idol in Tirumala Yet the pranic energy is so great that the temple is the richest in the world By this the following equation emerges

MONEY TIME PRANA

Time for us if we understand only past (money) or future(prana)

Hence to efficiently utilize time the only sadhana for humanity is Gayatri ndash Gayaan traayate iti Gayatri Read the three volumes of Gayatri maha Vigyan to understand the science behind it

To understand how this lsquoMaharsquo science is related to everything in the worls let us see how various volumes are related to the plant kingdom

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 1 talks about working for the development of self and family This is like the bees that work all over and get honey for the family

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 2 talks about tantra This is related to lemon

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 3 is related to the pranamaya shareera Tulasi is the plant that has the highest prana

Tulasi ndash Money as prana for devas ndash punyaka vratha ndash Gayatri Maha Vigyan Vol III]

The key organs for earth principle are the nose (Jnanendriya for smell) and the anus (Karmendriya to throw out used waste) You have to understand the meaning of waste When we are trying to extract copper through electrolysis the unwanted material is thrown as lsquomudrsquo Though this lsquomudrsquo contains expensive materials like gold and silver it is waste in this context as we are looking for copper

Kapalabhati pranayam done under the guidance of a Guru is of very great benefit because the use of water (jala tattva karmendriya) which is related to the

Esoteric aspects of sadhanas

1 LAM is the beejakshara for muladhara which governs the earth principle in us If you observe the shape of our nose you can see the Sanskrit letter LAM Similarly the shape of hips also resembles LAM Apana vayu flows through the digestive system and exits through the anus Many of the present day diseases exist in us because ldquowe donrsquot

forgive others kshama and donrsquot have patience - sahanardquo ndash we do not follow the earth principle Learn from Shirdi Sai who gave the message of shraddha and saburi Kapalabhati fixes it It gives these 2 qualities to you That is why Kapalabhati done properly gives cure from many diseases including cancer heart trouble and diabetes You can learn more in a video by Baba Ramdev at httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=GF_Kj6vFPd8 A guru is very important Even with an image of the Guru a student can become like Ekalavya but this happens only rarely We should have a direct guru and you can become Arjuna You should do Asanas and pranayama together for a maximum of 30 minutes Pranayama for longer duration is recommended by an expert to only people suffering from chronic diseases Be very careful while doing pranayama You should be comfortable while doing it Increase the duration gradually The moment discomfort is felt stop it If you have done it for 10 minutes comfortably on some

day and the next day you feel a discomfort after 5 minutes stop there

2 The Varaha avatar of Vishnu emanated from the nose of Brahma The Varaha eventually lifted earth As can be seen Varaha avatara is present in the Brain stem in our body

With these 2 qualities of tolerance and forgiveness one can become ldquoChakravartirdquo on the planet earth One who has mastered his chakras can become an emperor on earth if he so wishes One who has mastered all the seven chakras becomes a chakravarti 7 times over Patanjali was one such master That is why Patanjali is shown to have 7 hoods

Daan - Donation and its significanceYesterday the focus of the talk was on Samay The second word in the title is Daan We will talk about daan and its importance

What is daan

The words daan and punya are related and their results are also similar Daan (donating offering etc) means to give When you give something you earn punya Both daan and punya have beneficial effects in the physical plane and in the subtle planes In the physical plane daan results in progress (pragati) success (saphalata) and greatness (varishthata) Whenever you do a daan it should give you all of the 3 mentioned above If you miss out on any or all of these it means that whatever you did was not a daan This gives rise to the equation

Donation = Progress Success Greatness

Daan = pragati saphalata varishtata

Whenever you donate something it helps you evolve Let us see some definitions on evolution

Synthesis of Yoga Page 6Sri Aurobindo says lsquoYoga (we are utilizing daana instead of yoga to evolve) as Swami Vivekananda has said may be regarded as a means of compressing onersquos evolution into a single life or a few years or even a few months of bodily existencersquo

Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121

Tivra samvegaanaam aasannahTivra=extremely samvegaanaam=intense vehement asannah=nearFor those who seek liberation wholeheartedly realization is near

Param Pujya Gurudev is asking us to give Samay daan ansh daan and pratibha daana for hastening your evolution When you hear about speeding up of evolution by Vivekananda do you understand its true significance Whenever you

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 13

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 15

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 17

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 19

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Chapter 1 Donation and its importance

Samay - Time and its significanceTo understand the meaning of the title ndash ldquoSamay daan hi yug dharmrdquo we need to understand the meaning of the 4 powerful words viz - Samay Daan Yug Dharma We shall start with Samay ndash Time

What is timeWe all talk about time but what is time We need to know this before we even think about donating time

We have time because of the revolution of earth round the sun and moon round the earth Revolution of earth round the sun results in seasons and gives to yearly timelines On the other hand the revolution of moon round the earth results in a visual change in the skies through the changing phases of the moon Between the full moon called Purnima and the new moon called amavasya (no phases) there are 14 phases of the moon All human activities happen within these 14 phases Hence these are called the 14 bhuvanas in scriptures

Typically time is divided as past present and future However when we try to capture time with more and accuracy we realize that there is no present and that there is only a past and future

Master DK (Djhwal Khul) says ldquoMoney is timerdquo

Let us look at how you earn money Whenever you earn money it is always in return for the time you spend in a special type of work Many companies require that you spend specified time working in the company If you run a shop you are giving your time in running the shop This in turn fetches you money Hence the basic esoteric principle is lsquoMoney is timersquo [If you work for a purpose with others as a group or you are the leader of the same]

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 6

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

If this is true then why do people earn differently Every person on this planet from a prince to a pauper gets 24 hours every day but not everyone earns the same amount of money You earn money ldquobased on the time you spend and how you spend that timerdquo If one spends time begging he earns less than one who works in a factory A clerk earns less while a millionaire earns more It might even seem that the clerk is working harder for his money than the millionaire

Hence time is another form of money How one converts time to money depends on how the time is utilized This is an important sutra It tells us that instead of worrying about money one should focus on how to spend his time efficiently If one succeeds in this money will flow in automatically On the other hand a person who wastes his time regularly loses his efficiency just as leaking bucket wastes water

How do we increase the efficiency of utilization of time Broadly there are 5 fields of human activity These are Politics Business Science Arts Teaching They are related to the 5 principles (Tatvas) in nature Each principle is related to one Karmendriya and one Gyanendriya Hence we have five of both To develop expertise one needs to understand the basic principles of the field of activity in addition to qualities like dedication will etc As Gita says ldquoYogah Karmasu Kaushalamrdquo

PoliticsA politician works on the principle of Earth It is to be kept in mind that even here a person just by merely being a member of a political party does not gain much Only if he uses the principles and works on it he might become an MLA and even go all the way to becoming a prime minister

Fundamental characteristics of Earth principle are tolerance and forgiveness Irrespective of how we have been exploiting Mother Earth she has never retaliated It is only humans who are exploiting the Earth whereas we are only one of the 84 lakh species on Earth

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 7

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

You would have noticed how there are no permanent enemies in politics Politicians will tolerate and forgive anyone as long as it helps them achieve their objective Also a politician who loses an election does not lose heart He patiently waits for the next opportunity and works to achieve his goals A very good example of these virtues is Abraham Lincoln who faced multiple failures upto 60 times in his political career yet persevered and eventually succeeded He went on to change the face of United States of America Many presidents later claimed that they had seen or heard him in the White House Can you see how Lincoln used the principle of earth used in his life

Here are some hints on sadhanas for the earth principle These are based on another esoteric principle ldquoMoney is crystallized pranardquo A good example is Param Pujya Gurudev who by the virtue of this principle developed the Gayatri Parivar He would say lsquothere is not a rupee in my pocket but works worth crores get

donersquo Another example is the Venkateshwara temple at Tirumala Today Lord Venkateshwara is in the form of an idol in Tirumala Yet the pranic energy is so great that the temple is the richest in the world By this the following equation emerges

MONEY TIME PRANA

Time for us if we understand only past (money) or future(prana)

Hence to efficiently utilize time the only sadhana for humanity is Gayatri ndash Gayaan traayate iti Gayatri Read the three volumes of Gayatri maha Vigyan to understand the science behind it

To understand how this lsquoMaharsquo science is related to everything in the worls let us see how various volumes are related to the plant kingdom

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 1 talks about working for the development of self and family This is like the bees that work all over and get honey for the family

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 2 talks about tantra This is related to lemon

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 3 is related to the pranamaya shareera Tulasi is the plant that has the highest prana

Tulasi ndash Money as prana for devas ndash punyaka vratha ndash Gayatri Maha Vigyan Vol III]

The key organs for earth principle are the nose (Jnanendriya for smell) and the anus (Karmendriya to throw out used waste) You have to understand the meaning of waste When we are trying to extract copper through electrolysis the unwanted material is thrown as lsquomudrsquo Though this lsquomudrsquo contains expensive materials like gold and silver it is waste in this context as we are looking for copper

Kapalabhati pranayam done under the guidance of a Guru is of very great benefit because the use of water (jala tattva karmendriya) which is related to the

1 LAM is the beejakshara for muladhara which governs the earth principle in us If you observe the shape of our nose you can see the Sanskrit letter LAM Similarly the shape of hips also resembles LAM Apana vayu flows through the digestive system and exits through the anus Many of the present day diseases exist in us because ldquowe donrsquot

forgive others kshama and donrsquot have patience - sahanardquo ndash we do not follow the earth principle Learn from Shirdi Sai who gave the message of shraddha and saburi Kapalabhati fixes it It gives these 2 qualities to you That is why Kapalabhati done properly gives cure from many diseases including cancer heart trouble and diabetes You can learn more in a video by Baba Ramdev at httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=GF_Kj6vFPd8 A guru is very important Even with an image of the Guru a student can become like Ekalavya but this happens only rarely We should have a direct guru and you can become Arjuna You should do Asanas and pranayama together for a maximum of 30 minutes Pranayama for longer duration is recommended by an expert to only people suffering from chronic diseases Be very careful while doing pranayama You should be comfortable while doing it Increase the duration gradually The moment discomfort is felt stop it If you have done it for 10 minutes comfortably on some

day and the next day you feel a discomfort after 5 minutes stop there

2 The Varaha avatar of Vishnu emanated from the nose of Brahma The Varaha eventually lifted earth As can be seen Varaha avatara is present in the Brain stem in our body

With these 2 qualities of tolerance and forgiveness one can become ldquoChakravartirdquo on the planet earth One who has mastered his chakras can become an emperor on earth if he so wishes One who has mastered all the seven chakras becomes a chakravarti 7 times over Patanjali was one such master That is why Patanjali is shown to have 7 hoods

Daan - Donation and its significanceYesterday the focus of the talk was on Samay The second word in the title is Daan We will talk about daan and its importance

What is daan

The words daan and punya are related and their results are also similar Daan (donating offering etc) means to give When you give something you earn punya Both daan and punya have beneficial effects in the physical plane and in the subtle planes In the physical plane daan results in progress (pragati) success (saphalata) and greatness (varishthata) Whenever you do a daan it should give you all of the 3 mentioned above If you miss out on any or all of these it means that whatever you did was not a daan This gives rise to the equation

Donation = Progress Success Greatness

Daan = pragati saphalata varishtata

Whenever you donate something it helps you evolve Let us see some definitions on evolution

Synthesis of Yoga Page 6Sri Aurobindo says lsquoYoga (we are utilizing daana instead of yoga to evolve) as Swami Vivekananda has said may be regarded as a means of compressing onersquos evolution into a single life or a few years or even a few months of bodily existencersquo

Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121

Tivra samvegaanaam aasannahTivra=extremely samvegaanaam=intense vehement asannah=nearFor those who seek liberation wholeheartedly realization is near

Param Pujya Gurudev is asking us to give Samay daan ansh daan and pratibha daana for hastening your evolution When you hear about speeding up of evolution by Vivekananda do you understand its true significance Whenever you

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 13

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Tulsi Gayatri

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

If this is true then why do people earn differently Every person on this planet from a prince to a pauper gets 24 hours every day but not everyone earns the same amount of money You earn money ldquobased on the time you spend and how you spend that timerdquo If one spends time begging he earns less than one who works in a factory A clerk earns less while a millionaire earns more It might even seem that the clerk is working harder for his money than the millionaire

Hence time is another form of money How one converts time to money depends on how the time is utilized This is an important sutra It tells us that instead of worrying about money one should focus on how to spend his time efficiently If one succeeds in this money will flow in automatically On the other hand a person who wastes his time regularly loses his efficiency just as leaking bucket wastes water

How do we increase the efficiency of utilization of time Broadly there are 5 fields of human activity These are Politics Business Science Arts Teaching They are related to the 5 principles (Tatvas) in nature Each principle is related to one Karmendriya and one Gyanendriya Hence we have five of both To develop expertise one needs to understand the basic principles of the field of activity in addition to qualities like dedication will etc As Gita says ldquoYogah Karmasu Kaushalamrdquo

PoliticsA politician works on the principle of Earth It is to be kept in mind that even here a person just by merely being a member of a political party does not gain much Only if he uses the principles and works on it he might become an MLA and even go all the way to becoming a prime minister

Fundamental characteristics of Earth principle are tolerance and forgiveness Irrespective of how we have been exploiting Mother Earth she has never retaliated It is only humans who are exploiting the Earth whereas we are only one of the 84 lakh species on Earth

You would have noticed how there are no permanent enemies in politics Politicians will tolerate and forgive anyone as long as it helps them achieve their objective Also a politician who loses an election does not lose heart He patiently waits for the next opportunity and works to achieve his goals A very good example of these virtues is Abraham Lincoln who faced multiple failures upto 60 times in his political career yet persevered and eventually succeeded He went on to change the face of United States of America Many presidents later claimed that they had seen or heard him in the White House Can you see how Lincoln used the principle of earth used in his life

Here are some hints on sadhanas for the earth principle These are based on another esoteric principle ldquoMoney is crystallized pranardquo A good example is Param Pujya Gurudev who by the virtue of this principle developed the Gayatri Parivar He would say lsquothere is not a rupee in my pocket but works worth crores get

donersquo Another example is the Venkateshwara temple at Tirumala Today Lord Venkateshwara is in the form of an idol in Tirumala Yet the pranic energy is so great that the temple is the richest in the world By this the following equation emerges

MONEY TIME PRANA

Time for us if we understand only past (money) or future(prana)

Hence to efficiently utilize time the only sadhana for humanity is Gayatri ndash Gayaan traayate iti Gayatri Read the three volumes of Gayatri maha Vigyan to understand the science behind it

To understand how this lsquoMaharsquo science is related to everything in the worls let us see how various volumes are related to the plant kingdom

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 1 talks about working for the development of self and family This is like the bees that work all over and get honey for the family

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 2 talks about tantra This is related to lemon

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 3 is related to the pranamaya shareera Tulasi is the plant that has the highest prana

Tulasi ndash Money as prana for devas ndash punyaka vratha ndash Gayatri Maha Vigyan Vol III]

The key organs for earth principle are the nose (Jnanendriya for smell) and the anus (Karmendriya to throw out used waste) You have to understand the meaning of waste When we are trying to extract copper through electrolysis the unwanted material is thrown as lsquomudrsquo Though this lsquomudrsquo contains expensive materials like gold and silver it is waste in this context as we are looking for copper

Kapalabhati pranayam done under the guidance of a Guru is of very great benefit because the use of water (jala tattva karmendriya) which is related to the

Esoteric aspects of sadhanas

1 LAM is the beejakshara for muladhara which governs the earth principle in us If you observe the shape of our nose you can see the Sanskrit letter LAM Similarly the shape of hips also resembles LAM Apana vayu flows through the digestive system and exits through the anus Many of the present day diseases exist in us because ldquowe donrsquot

forgive others kshama and donrsquot have patience - sahanardquo ndash we do not follow the earth principle Learn from Shirdi Sai who gave the message of shraddha and saburi Kapalabhati fixes it It gives these 2 qualities to you That is why Kapalabhati done properly gives cure from many diseases including cancer heart trouble and diabetes You can learn more in a video by Baba Ramdev at httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=GF_Kj6vFPd8 A guru is very important Even with an image of the Guru a student can become like Ekalavya but this happens only rarely We should have a direct guru and you can become Arjuna You should do Asanas and pranayama together for a maximum of 30 minutes Pranayama for longer duration is recommended by an expert to only people suffering from chronic diseases Be very careful while doing pranayama You should be comfortable while doing it Increase the duration gradually The moment discomfort is felt stop it If you have done it for 10 minutes comfortably on some

day and the next day you feel a discomfort after 5 minutes stop there

2 The Varaha avatar of Vishnu emanated from the nose of Brahma The Varaha eventually lifted earth As can be seen Varaha avatara is present in the Brain stem in our body

With these 2 qualities of tolerance and forgiveness one can become ldquoChakravartirdquo on the planet earth One who has mastered his chakras can become an emperor on earth if he so wishes One who has mastered all the seven chakras becomes a chakravarti 7 times over Patanjali was one such master That is why Patanjali is shown to have 7 hoods

Daan - Donation and its significanceYesterday the focus of the talk was on Samay The second word in the title is Daan We will talk about daan and its importance

What is daan

The words daan and punya are related and their results are also similar Daan (donating offering etc) means to give When you give something you earn punya Both daan and punya have beneficial effects in the physical plane and in the subtle planes In the physical plane daan results in progress (pragati) success (saphalata) and greatness (varishthata) Whenever you do a daan it should give you all of the 3 mentioned above If you miss out on any or all of these it means that whatever you did was not a daan This gives rise to the equation

Donation = Progress Success Greatness

Daan = pragati saphalata varishtata

Whenever you donate something it helps you evolve Let us see some definitions on evolution

Synthesis of Yoga Page 6Sri Aurobindo says lsquoYoga (we are utilizing daana instead of yoga to evolve) as Swami Vivekananda has said may be regarded as a means of compressing onersquos evolution into a single life or a few years or even a few months of bodily existencersquo

Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121

Tivra samvegaanaam aasannahTivra=extremely samvegaanaam=intense vehement asannah=nearFor those who seek liberation wholeheartedly realization is near

Param Pujya Gurudev is asking us to give Samay daan ansh daan and pratibha daana for hastening your evolution When you hear about speeding up of evolution by Vivekananda do you understand its true significance Whenever you

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 13

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 15

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 17

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

2 Ponder over how you can donate time in swapna state also (Hint Scientists authors are good examples)

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

You would have noticed how there are no permanent enemies in politics Politicians will tolerate and forgive anyone as long as it helps them achieve their objective Also a politician who loses an election does not lose heart He patiently waits for the next opportunity and works to achieve his goals A very good example of these virtues is Abraham Lincoln who faced multiple failures upto 60 times in his political career yet persevered and eventually succeeded He went on to change the face of United States of America Many presidents later claimed that they had seen or heard him in the White House Can you see how Lincoln used the principle of earth used in his life

Here are some hints on sadhanas for the earth principle These are based on another esoteric principle ldquoMoney is crystallized pranardquo A good example is Param Pujya Gurudev who by the virtue of this principle developed the Gayatri Parivar He would say lsquothere is not a rupee in my pocket but works worth crores get

donersquo Another example is the Venkateshwara temple at Tirumala Today Lord Venkateshwara is in the form of an idol in Tirumala Yet the pranic energy is so great that the temple is the richest in the world By this the following equation emerges

MONEY TIME PRANA

Time for us if we understand only past (money) or future(prana)

Hence to efficiently utilize time the only sadhana for humanity is Gayatri ndash Gayaan traayate iti Gayatri Read the three volumes of Gayatri maha Vigyan to understand the science behind it

To understand how this lsquoMaharsquo science is related to everything in the worls let us see how various volumes are related to the plant kingdom

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 1 talks about working for the development of self and family This is like the bees that work all over and get honey for the family

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 2 talks about tantra This is related to lemon

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 3 is related to the pranamaya shareera Tulasi is the plant that has the highest prana

Daan - Donation and its significanceYesterday the focus of the talk was on Samay The second word in the title is Daan We will talk about daan and its importance

What is daan

The words daan and punya are related and their results are also similar Daan (donating offering etc) means to give When you give something you earn punya Both daan and punya have beneficial effects in the physical plane and in the subtle planes In the physical plane daan results in progress (pragati) success (saphalata) and greatness (varishthata) Whenever you do a daan it should give you all of the 3 mentioned above If you miss out on any or all of these it means that whatever you did was not a daan This gives rise to the equation

Donation = Progress Success Greatness

Daan = pragati saphalata varishtata

Whenever you donate something it helps you evolve Let us see some definitions on evolution

Synthesis of Yoga Page 6Sri Aurobindo says lsquoYoga (we are utilizing daana instead of yoga to evolve) as Swami Vivekananda has said may be regarded as a means of compressing onersquos evolution into a single life or a few years or even a few months of bodily existencersquo

Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121

Tivra samvegaanaam aasannahTivra=extremely samvegaanaam=intense vehement asannah=nearFor those who seek liberation wholeheartedly realization is near

Param Pujya Gurudev is asking us to give Samay daan ansh daan and pratibha daana for hastening your evolution When you hear about speeding up of evolution by Vivekananda do you understand its true significance Whenever you

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 13

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 15

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 17

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Tulsi Gayatri

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 44

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

donersquo Another example is the Venkateshwara temple at Tirumala Today Lord Venkateshwara is in the form of an idol in Tirumala Yet the pranic energy is so great that the temple is the richest in the world By this the following equation emerges

MONEY TIME PRANA

Time for us if we understand only past (money) or future(prana)

Hence to efficiently utilize time the only sadhana for humanity is Gayatri ndash Gayaan traayate iti Gayatri Read the three volumes of Gayatri maha Vigyan to understand the science behind it

To understand how this lsquoMaharsquo science is related to everything in the worls let us see how various volumes are related to the plant kingdom

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 1 talks about working for the development of self and family This is like the bees that work all over and get honey for the family

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 2 talks about tantra This is related to lemon

Gayatri Maha Vigyan volume 3 is related to the pranamaya shareera Tulasi is the plant that has the highest prana

Tulasi ndash Money as prana for devas ndash punyaka vratha ndash Gayatri Maha Vigyan Vol III]

Kapalabhati pranayam done under the guidance of a Guru is of very great benefit because the use of water (jala tattva karmendriya) which is related to the

With these 2 qualities of tolerance and forgiveness one can become ldquoChakravartirdquo on the planet earth One who has mastered his chakras can become an emperor on earth if he so wishes One who has mastered all the seven chakras becomes a chakravarti 7 times over Patanjali was one such master That is why Patanjali is shown to have 7 hoods

Daan - Donation and its significanceYesterday the focus of the talk was on Samay The second word in the title is Daan We will talk about daan and its importance

What is daan

The words daan and punya are related and their results are also similar Daan (donating offering etc) means to give When you give something you earn punya Both daan and punya have beneficial effects in the physical plane and in the subtle planes In the physical plane daan results in progress (pragati) success (saphalata) and greatness (varishthata) Whenever you do a daan it should give you all of the 3 mentioned above If you miss out on any or all of these it means that whatever you did was not a daan This gives rise to the equation

Donation = Progress Success Greatness

Daan = pragati saphalata varishtata

Whenever you donate something it helps you evolve Let us see some definitions on evolution

Synthesis of Yoga Page 6Sri Aurobindo says lsquoYoga (we are utilizing daana instead of yoga to evolve) as Swami Vivekananda has said may be regarded as a means of compressing onersquos evolution into a single life or a few years or even a few months of bodily existencersquo

Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121

Tivra samvegaanaam aasannahTivra=extremely samvegaanaam=intense vehement asannah=nearFor those who seek liberation wholeheartedly realization is near

Param Pujya Gurudev is asking us to give Samay daan ansh daan and pratibha daana for hastening your evolution When you hear about speeding up of evolution by Vivekananda do you understand its true significance Whenever you

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 13

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 15

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 17

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

2 Ponder over how you can donate time in swapna state also (Hint Scientists authors are good examples)

3 The Mandukya Upanishad with just 12 slokas gives more details on AUM Read this

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 57

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Daan - Donation and its significanceYesterday the focus of the talk was on Samay The second word in the title is Daan We will talk about daan and its importance

What is daan

The words daan and punya are related and their results are also similar Daan (donating offering etc) means to give When you give something you earn punya Both daan and punya have beneficial effects in the physical plane and in the subtle planes In the physical plane daan results in progress (pragati) success (saphalata) and greatness (varishthata) Whenever you do a daan it should give you all of the 3 mentioned above If you miss out on any or all of these it means that whatever you did was not a daan This gives rise to the equation

Donation = Progress Success Greatness

Daan = pragati saphalata varishtata

Whenever you donate something it helps you evolve Let us see some definitions on evolution

Synthesis of Yoga Page 6Sri Aurobindo says lsquoYoga (we are utilizing daana instead of yoga to evolve) as Swami Vivekananda has said may be regarded as a means of compressing onersquos evolution into a single life or a few years or even a few months of bodily existencersquo

Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121

Tivra samvegaanaam aasannahTivra=extremely samvegaanaam=intense vehement asannah=nearFor those who seek liberation wholeheartedly realization is near

Param Pujya Gurudev is asking us to give Samay daan ansh daan and pratibha daana for hastening your evolution When you hear about speeding up of evolution by Vivekananda do you understand its true significance Whenever you

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 13

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 15

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 17

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 44

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Daan - Donation and its significanceYesterday the focus of the talk was on Samay The second word in the title is Daan We will talk about daan and its importance

What is daan

The words daan and punya are related and their results are also similar Daan (donating offering etc) means to give When you give something you earn punya Both daan and punya have beneficial effects in the physical plane and in the subtle planes In the physical plane daan results in progress (pragati) success (saphalata) and greatness (varishthata) Whenever you do a daan it should give you all of the 3 mentioned above If you miss out on any or all of these it means that whatever you did was not a daan This gives rise to the equation

Donation = Progress Success Greatness

Daan = pragati saphalata varishtata

Whenever you donate something it helps you evolve Let us see some definitions on evolution

Synthesis of Yoga Page 6Sri Aurobindo says lsquoYoga (we are utilizing daana instead of yoga to evolve) as Swami Vivekananda has said may be regarded as a means of compressing onersquos evolution into a single life or a few years or even a few months of bodily existencersquo

Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121

Tivra samvegaanaam aasannahTivra=extremely samvegaanaam=intense vehement asannah=nearFor those who seek liberation wholeheartedly realization is near

Param Pujya Gurudev is asking us to give Samay daan ansh daan and pratibha daana for hastening your evolution When you hear about speeding up of evolution by Vivekananda do you understand its true significance Whenever you

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 13

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 15

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 17

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

2 Ponder over how you can donate time in swapna state also (Hint Scientists authors are good examples)

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Daan - Donation and its significanceYesterday the focus of the talk was on Samay The second word in the title is Daan We will talk about daan and its importance

What is daan

The words daan and punya are related and their results are also similar Daan (donating offering etc) means to give When you give something you earn punya Both daan and punya have beneficial effects in the physical plane and in the subtle planes In the physical plane daan results in progress (pragati) success (saphalata) and greatness (varishthata) Whenever you do a daan it should give you all of the 3 mentioned above If you miss out on any or all of these it means that whatever you did was not a daan This gives rise to the equation

Donation = Progress Success Greatness

Daan = pragati saphalata varishtata

Whenever you donate something it helps you evolve Let us see some definitions on evolution

Synthesis of Yoga Page 6Sri Aurobindo says lsquoYoga (we are utilizing daana instead of yoga to evolve) as Swami Vivekananda has said may be regarded as a means of compressing onersquos evolution into a single life or a few years or even a few months of bodily existencersquo

Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121

Tivra samvegaanaam aasannahTivra=extremely samvegaanaam=intense vehement asannah=nearFor those who seek liberation wholeheartedly realization is near

Param Pujya Gurudev is asking us to give Samay daan ansh daan and pratibha daana for hastening your evolution When you hear about speeding up of evolution by Vivekananda do you understand its true significance Whenever you

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 13

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 15

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Tulsi Gayatri

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Daan - Donation and its significanceYesterday the focus of the talk was on Samay The second word in the title is Daan We will talk about daan and its importance

What is daan

The words daan and punya are related and their results are also similar Daan (donating offering etc) means to give When you give something you earn punya Both daan and punya have beneficial effects in the physical plane and in the subtle planes In the physical plane daan results in progress (pragati) success (saphalata) and greatness (varishthata) Whenever you do a daan it should give you all of the 3 mentioned above If you miss out on any or all of these it means that whatever you did was not a daan This gives rise to the equation

Donation = Progress Success Greatness

Daan = pragati saphalata varishtata

Whenever you donate something it helps you evolve Let us see some definitions on evolution

Synthesis of Yoga Page 6Sri Aurobindo says lsquoYoga (we are utilizing daana instead of yoga to evolve) as Swami Vivekananda has said may be regarded as a means of compressing onersquos evolution into a single life or a few years or even a few months of bodily existencersquo

Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121

Tivra samvegaanaam aasannahTivra=extremely samvegaanaam=intense vehement asannah=nearFor those who seek liberation wholeheartedly realization is near

Param Pujya Gurudev is asking us to give Samay daan ansh daan and pratibha daana for hastening your evolution When you hear about speeding up of evolution by Vivekananda do you understand its true significance Whenever you

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 13

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 15

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 17

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 19

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

2 Ponder over how you can donate time in swapna state also (Hint Scientists authors are good examples)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 25

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Tulsi Gayatri

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

have to learn a new subject you have to spend the requisite time Even those who are working may be studying part-time ndash he too has family issues and all other things Param Pujya Gurudev also wants us to give part of our time for hastening evolution We need not talk about yagna and gayatri all 24 hrs of the day

This evolution (pragati) brings you success(Saphalata) This success brings greatness (varishtata) in you In summary D =gt PSG

Many people make donations but they do not see themselves receiving the above mentioned benefits (D=PSG) This is because of the manner in which one donates Let us take an example Shirdi Sai baba would go to 5 houses every day to seek alms and would eat only from whatever he got there Now imagine what would you do if Sai came to your door how would you offer to him You would probably make the offering with humility respect and joy You would feel that your life has become blessed because of the daan you made This would be true daan Remember once again that true daan gives you pragati saphalata varishthata

It is with this emotion and frame of mind that you should make daan in order to receive the aforementioned benefits of daan When you do daan you should do it with shraddha Sai would say that by giving offerings to him people would also be freed of their sins This is true not only when one gives to Sai but also whenever we make a donation to anyone with the same feeling This is because Sai proved that he is present in every animate and inanimate thing including his photos

While donating it is not important as to whom you donate or what you donate All that is important is the emotion with which you give If you give it to a beggar give to Govinda in the beggar If done with this feeling then your daan reaches the Lord and you get pratidaan accordingly Think what Krishna gave sudama in return for half a grain of rice Many people give something and gloat

Can such a donation give you the benefits of daan or does it boost the egoism

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 14

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 15

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 17

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

2 Ponder over how you can donate time in swapna state also (Hint Scientists authors are good examples)

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 57

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

For example when you offer naivedya to an idol at a temple as a daan in this emotion the prasada that you get would be energized by immense cosmic energy If you do not have this emotion you get back some tasty food only

In the subtler plane ndash vital or prana world where you use the pranamaya sharira the fruits of daan are heaven(swarg) liberation(mukti) siddhi Boons(vardaan) miracles(chamatkar) etc For example people receive vibhuti from Sai even after he has left his physical body

These two techniques of daan and punya have to be used to achieve anything If you want to do anything in physical world you have to use the technique of daana If you want to do anything in pranamaya sharira you have to use punya Instead of doing just daan humanity should rise and be at the level of punya Master DK has written Esoteric astrology according to which the entire humanity has the same horoscope Just like though you have hands legs eyes ears all of them have the same horoscope Similarly entire humanity has one horo If you read purushasukta by Ekkirala Krishnamacharya you will understand more

Through Daana we get to utilise the entire physical plane of humanity not just your own physical body Through punya we can use the pranamaya sharira of entire humanity You should understand what you should donate to whom and for what benefit You should remember that because of giving daan you do not help the other person but beget progress and evolution for yourself It is a paradigm shift we should achieve

If a person boasts about his daan then he loses the benefits he received from it When you do a daan you should do it in such a way that you should forget all about it

On the other hand when you receive something from someone and it results in the loss of that personrsquos rights then it is sin or paap This statement appears simple enough but has very wide ramifications

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 15

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

2 Ponder over how you can donate time in swapna state also (Hint Scientists authors are good examples)

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Tulsi Gayatri

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The only karmic links that are important to a person are Himself wife children mother and father Parents are responsible for supporting their children until they grow up and start earning on their own Once children start earning they should not take any money from their parents and instead start taking care of their parentsrsquo needs That which you have to give them must be given They have a right on your resources If your forfeit their rights and do dana it is wrong Donrsquot think of just money ndash you have to provide them resources teach them the right way of life give them the courage to face challenges in life and not resort to cowardice or suicide All these are your responsibilities towards your family If instead of giving their due you offer it all to your Guru This looks like a noble thing but it is not so By not giving money to your family you are not honoring their rights This is sin too This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks us to give that much daan where it does not cause discomfort to anyone He says ndash take care of your familyrsquos needs take care of your needs and only then if you have money left do anshdaan of that amount

It is similar with your time If at work place you do personal work at the cost of office work then it is sin In fact if you do any action while you should be doing something else it is sin This is why Param Pujya Gurudev asks all of us to maintain a time-table and follow it

Sometimes it might not be clear from an action if it is punya or paap In such scenarios it is the emotion with which the action is carried out that defines whether it was punya or paap This is because your actions are finally propelled by your desires (iccha shakti) or emotions

To live in this world a person at times receives something from the society and nature This then by definition is sin For example we take milk from a cow that it produces for its calves Then how do great people work around this situation If you do not pay the right price for something ndash you should either be a thief or a beggar That is why you should pay back to the society for all that you have received from it

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 16

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 17

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

2 Ponder over how you can donate time in swapna state also (Hint Scientists authors are good examples)

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Tulsi Gayatri

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 44

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Great people give back more to the society than what they receive from it If one uses what he receives as a seed and sows it so that he is able to give back multiple fruits in return heshe becomes great and it becomes punya

For example you get your food from someone else You can make donations such that other people also eat The society gives you shelter and security You can then give back by building shelters for others A tree provides shade for you You can plant more trees In the days of the past many people built dharmashalas provided for annadana and planted trees by the road-side This is punya

To be able to successfully give more back to the society one should use the water principle It is water that sprouts a seed The chakra related to water principle in our body is swadhishthana Its gnanendriya is tongue and its karmendriya is the urinary organ The field of excellence related to this is business This is because businessmen sprout new opportunities in areas where there was none before The beej akshara for this chakra is VAM The sanskrit letter VAM resembles our stomach in its shape Again to develop this chakra for

excellence in this area one can use Kapalbhati pranayam that activates the stomach spleen and liver

The highest level of daan would be if you can give Gayatri Mantra with the mindset of real daana We should use this mantra as a seed If we can do it it will grow continuously such that we get many more seeds from that

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 17

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

One other mystic hint here is about the story of Gajendra moksha Each chakra is also associated with an animal Muladhara is associated with elephant and Swadhisthana with crocodile Does it signify the struggle between the elephant (Earth principle) and the crocodile (water principle) for the seed to sprout Ponder on this

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Questions

1 What are the virtues that daana bestows on you2 Why do people fail to benefit even after making donations3 How can you earn punya even while receiving something from the society

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Tulsi Gayatri

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

The duration of Kali yuga is of 432000 years But Param Pujya Gurudev is ushering in Satyug after 5000 years itself He makes a very mystic statement when he says that this can been achieved by everyone if they ldquogive daan of the remaining yearsrdquo

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Importance of Samay daanBefore going into the yug dharma aspects of the title let us look deeply into the subtle aspects of samaydaan We have already seen the formula Money Time Prana

How do you donate timeWhenever you donate time it should be donated such that your desires are in line with that of your aradhya While working in your office do you spend time on your office goals or on your other goals You concentrate on your office goals Similarly when you donate time for Param Pujya Gurudev it should be given for the sole purpose determined by your aradhya If you do what you think in this time then it does not become samaydaan

Which time do we have to donate All of us have four states of existence ndash Jagrut(aware wakefulness) Swapna (dream) Sushupti (deep sleep) Tureeya(beyond) To do this we have to understand these states and there is a very simple sadhana

The Jagrut state of consciousness is when we are fully aware of our surroundings People think that they are in Jagrut state whenever they are awake But this is not always so Are you aware of where all our clothes are touching the body Do you know how different types of clothes you wear feels on the skin When you are seated on the ground or chair you know which parts of the body is being pressurized Do you know how your posture keeps changing as you keep listening to this class Are you aware of the surroundings in the room Is there a mosquito or a spider web All this encompasses the true awareness of wakeful state

The Turiya is the sthithi that underlies all the three wakeful dream and sleep states Hence it means that Turiya is existent in all the other 3 states just as a cinema screen is always present in the background irrespective of what is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 20

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

2 Ponder over how you can donate time in swapna state also (Hint Scientists authors are good examples)

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

projected on it Among the trinity each is the controller of one of these states The three letters of AUM also signify these 3 states

Brahma ndash lsquoArsquo - wakeful consciousnessVishnu ndash lsquoUrsquo - Dream stateShiva ndash lsquoMrsquo - Sleep state

When you utter AUM you will be in Samadhi sthithi In this Samadhi sthiti when you chant lsquoguru brahmahelliprsquo Brahma Vishnu and Maheswara react Brahma is the creator of the universe when none existed Todayrsquos scientists are miniature brahmas because they have creative power Guru is giving us the ultimate creative power But for that we need some instruments and tools for maintaining the creation that is given by Vishnu Later we want few things to be modified this power is called Shiva Shiva is not about destruction he is the auspicious one who betters what already existsThe Guru mantra tells you that the Guru is Brahma Vishnu and Maheshwara Whenever you utter the AUM followed by Guru mantra this can take you to the tureeya state The mantra lsquoAkhanda mandalakaramrsquo ndash encompasses past present and future consisting of living and non-living This Mantra gives the true expanse of GuruWhenever you chant AUM and Guru Mantra do it with this awareness and you will become aware of these states Why is this important Let us see in the next paragraph

We are all aware of only the Jagrat state of consciousness ndash even that partially The Jagrat state of consciousness has a limited time of 24 hours per day to all Of these 6 hours of sleep is essential for all You have only 18 hours left Even these 18 hours are available to you only if you use them properly The 18 chapters of Gita and the 18 yug nirman satsankalp given by Param Pujya Gurudev explain how you have to live so that you get this entire time If you live your life properly you have a maximum of 18 hours of time that you can donate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 21

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

On the other hand time is unbounded in the swapna state Can you do samay daan in that state tooGive daan everyday Remember that Param Pujya Gurudev explains that we should live like lsquohar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo ndash live every day as a complete life Sri Aurobindorsquos Savitri deals with this concept

How does daan help youParam Pujya Gurudev says that when you do daan the results that come back are manifold Donrsquot think that you have to do something great to reap these benefits It can be a small thing but done with complete devotion When Sudama was getting ready to meet Krishna he did not have anything to offer So he went and begged some puffed rice and offered this to Krishna In return Krishna gave him all the wealth in the world In fact if Rukmini had not stopped Krishna from taking another morsel there was even a danger of sudama becoming Jagad guru and Krishna becoming sudama Similarly when you give even a small donation you get manifold returns to not only you but the entire world When you give time (anudaan) you are donating it from your level When you get the results back (pratidaan) it will come from Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos level These returns will give you pragati saphalata Varishthata (D=PSG)

Many people do not understand the real aspect of Daan and of course Punya Daan is the physical world action and its reaction whereas Punya is of the Pranic world Remember that though you give daan on physical universe punya reacts from the prana world (swarga) That is why daan is the first step on physical world and gives

Daana = Pragati Saphalata Varishthata

Punya = Swarga Mukti Siddhi Vardaan Chamatkar

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 22

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

This is why the daan in the physical world gives vardaan and chamatkar from Swarga

When Draupadi tore and tied a piece of sari on Krishnarsquos finger she got many many saris in return because she gave it with love and she did not go about announcing her daan to one and all

Let us take another example from Mahabharat Once the Pandavas and their mother Kunti were staying at Ekachakrapuram The owner of the house where they were staying had to send one person as food for Bakasura When they were discussing as whom to send Kunti steps in and offers to send one of her sons Did Kunti or Pandavas have to make this offering No It was not their responsibility to protect these people They were not kings of this place In fact they were not kings of anywhere Yet Kunti made a tremendous daan of offering her sonrsquos life You all now know that Bhima killed Bakasaura But would Kunti have been certain that Bhim would win No That is why this is true daan What were the benefits of this daan

There were 5 people Jarasandha Kichaka Duryodhana Bhima and Bakasura who were born under the same period between Magha and Swati stars It was predicted that whoever kills one among these would kill all others By killing Bakasura the weakest amongst the group Bhima became capable to kill all others Can you see the benefit of daan here The reason it worked here was because Kunti had made the offer without any selfish motive

Here is the eternal law in spirituality

Whenever you give something without any selfish interest you will receive pratidana that is manifold

As you keep reading about daan and punya you will suddenly get a flash or intuition of their real meaning and understanding That is the intent behind me reading it again and again

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 23

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

2 Ponder over how you can donate time in swapna state also (Hint Scientists authors are good examples)

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

The subtle benefits of daanpunyaParam pujya Gurudev says that daan or punya will get us swarg mukti siddhi varadaan chamatkaar etc at a subtle level We have to understand the words ndash swarga mukti siddhi etc according to Param Pujya Gurudev Param Pujya Gurudev understood them scientifically

Imagine your life to be a huge block of prana If you look closely you will see that the big chunk is further divided into smaller blocks of 24 hours Even though a block of marble looks big it consists of atoms Similarly our entire life time consists of smaller units of 24 hours This duration is common to all human beings When this time becomes concrete it becomes money For the time you spend for the society you are given a salary Based on the intensity of work the salary varies When you offer a little of your time from this chunk as donation by the principles seen above you get time back to you manifold The time you have with you increases Your life-time increases Remember swarga means immortality Hence samaydaan aids in bringing down heaven to earth and in making you immortal (Amar)

Consider a student of medicine As long as he is studying medicine he is bound by some rules He needs to attend the classes do the practical work write exams etc Once he finishes his course he is liberated from these rules This is mukti Does this mukti mean that he is free of responsibilities No Instead now that the student has become a doctor he has the responsibility to cure the ill It is this kind of mukti that one gains from doing daan So do not think that Mukti means that you will escape your responsibilities The student has attained the siddhi of expertise in medicine With this siddhi he proves to be a boon (varadaan) to the society because he can serve the people and cure their ailments For a person who does not know what the doctor knows the act of healing the sick appears like a miracle (chamatkar)

Once you have given your samaydaan you should stick to it like a rock (shila) and not do anything else during that particular time except Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos

work Yug shilpi satra is done to sculpt yug shilpis from the people around you If the unwanted portions of the marble stone are removed the desired idol comes out This is what is taught in 30 day long satra

Questions

1 What are the 4 states of existence and how can you reach the tureeya state

2 How does samaydaan help in ldquobringing heaven down to earthrdquo

Further activities

1 Ponder over what the 18 chapters of Gita and 18 Yug nirman satsankalp tell us on how to live

2 Ponder over how you can donate time in swapna state also (Hint Scientists authors are good examples)

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Tulsi Gayatri

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 30

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Bhakti and Tapascharya

Bhakti has only one form ndash that is to merge your desire with that of your aradhya We know the stories of Harishchandra Karna Bali Dadichi Bhama Shah etc But when we ponder on these people we find their individual ego or personality Devotees do not have this Devotees are greater because they lose their identity and merge with their Aaradhya They merge their entire body and mind with their aaradhya The best examples are Sudama Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Meerabai That is why their Aaradhya supported them at each and every step of their life

Focus on increasing bhakti Bhakti means merging entirely with your aradhya Example Surdas and how Krishna helped him step by step Satyabhama could not weigh Krishna with money ornaments etc Rugmini could weigh him with one leaf of Tulsi What you give and with what emotion is important

Whenever you surrender yourself to your aradhyagurudevata in the truest sense they will literally become a help at every step and in each second of your life You cannot imagine what returns you will get for your bhakti

Krishna in Gita says he is ldquoKaalrdquo If Krishna can do so much for his devotees think what Mahakaal can do to you Can you imagine what will happen if you make Param Pujya Gurudev your Aaradhya Can you even imagine what he will do if you offer your physical emotional and mental bodies to Gurudev He will elevate you beyond your imagination If you offer yourself to Gurudev you will become his Ang-avayav (His organs) All you have to do is to sit on the throne that Param Pujya Gurudev has kept ready for us That is what Krishna gave to Arjuna Krishna told clearly to Arjuna that he has already killed all those whom Arjuna feared All that Arjuna was to do was to stand up and fight This is applicable to all of us today

Param pujya Gurudev says that every atom of the creation will be grateful to such bhaktas We are talking of Hanuman Arjuna Sudama and the like If we give anudana the pratidana will be millions of times more Do not ask when you will

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 26

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 28

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

get the pratidana but it will definitely come There will not be a person like Param Pujya Gurudev again on this planet Yugas will change earth will exist for millions of years to come But a person like Param Pujya Gurdev will not come again It is our fortune that we are living during this time to work for him

When you are lighting agarbatti in front of Param Pujya Gurudev do you know the reaction that is coming from HIM You just do not realize Param Pujya Gurudev wants 2 lakhs of pragya parijans ndash meaning that people who understand the 20 KDS and practice it in their lives Can you be one among them

To do such offering one need not leave this world What did Arjuna do Did he relinquish his duties and royal life No he just followed what Krishna said from wherever he was

Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquowho has gained siddhis and vibhutis without doing tapascharyarsquo The initial definition of Tapas comes from Patanjali who gave the Ashtanga Yoga The 8 steps are Yama Niyama Asana Pranayam Pratyahaar Dharan Dhyan Samadhi Param Pujya Gurudev developed this method to a higher level Instead of the 10 yama niyamas he has given us 4 varchas and 5 sheelas In addition to these 9 he is giving his guidance as the 10th element

If you do not do asana and pranayama you will receive the grace from Param Pujya Gurudev but it will be as though it is received into a leaky bucket

Let us look at the last 3 stages DHARANA-DHYANA-SAMADHI The definitions of these are

Desha bandha chittasya dharana Tatra pratyekatanata dhyanam Tat eva artha matra nirbhasam swarupa shoonyamiva samadhih

Then Patanjali gives an alternate sutra to combine the benefit of all these 3

Trayam ekatra samyamah Samyama gives the benefit of all these 3 Param Pujya Gurudev has given four different Samyamas

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 27

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Samaya Samyama Samaya is prana-money Time should never be wasted and every moment should be respected You should always do everything based on time table

Indriya Samyama This is control over all indriyas especially onersquos tongue and sex organs

Vak Samyama Speech is equivalent prana Vak is the link-up for prana

Artha Samyama This is the rightful use of onersquos resources

Using your time by using your indriya and vak correctly you get money Hence by following SIVA ndash( the above four samyamas) one gets the benefit of Tapascharya

Significance of Tulsi

Tulsi has great significance in both physical and spiritual realms Tulsi gives more oxygen content than any other plant or tree This has been proven by the scientists Param pujya Gurudev has given two paragraphs in lsquoGayatri Mahavigyan Volume-2rsquo about the greatness of Tulsi Gayatri He has given 7 important results obtained by chanting Tulsi Gayatri They are

1 Sevaasakti (Interest in service)2 Deshaseva pravritti (Tendency to serve the nation)3 Satya praadhaanyata (Giving importance to Truth)4 Pativratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the husband by his wife)5 Patnivratamu (Following the vowsduties towards the wife by her husband)6 Atmashanti (Peace of the Self)7 Paradukha nivarana (Eliminating otherrsquos problems)

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Do japa one mala of Tulsi gayatri daily before your Gayatri Sadhana

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

In telugu the Tulsi plant is called as lsquoTulsi Kotarsquo ndash the castle of Tulsi - though it is placed in a flower-pot Kota means a fort If you see literally there is no fort These words have been coined with great significance Traditionally the Tulsi-kota has a shape of a fort as you can see in the picture It means that wherever there is Tulsi in whichever house it offers a fort of protection

As can be understood effectiveness of Tulsi has nothing to do with a religion Any person with a human body troubled by diseases can make use of Tulsi and gain health Plant Tulsi in your house and encourage others to do so by explaining the spiritual significance At least Tulsi is held in great esteem in south India Spread it in those states This is one example of spreading satpravritti

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Chapter 2 This is not the time to procrastinateThere cannot be a more perfect human body (physical and pranamaya body) on this planet Earth than what we possess now Then why do we have so many diseases There are some diseases which are chronic and continue throughout the life Nothing can be said about diseases like cancer The only solution is to do asana pranayamas as taught by Baba Ramdev to keep our physical and pranamaya body healthy

Look at the seshasayee Vishnu and learn the true relaxation posture This relaxation should stay throughout the wakeful state Only then can you do all the miracles done by Vishnu Vishnu is sleeping on the kundalini shakti (35 coils of seshasayee) During this yoganidra you should utilize shanka chakra gada and padma

Do yoga nidra for about 3-5 mins Rogamu kleshamu dukhamuhellipall will get solved with this technique

Lobham moham ahamkaram ndash we are like a spider entangled in the web of these three We are entangled completely in physical pranamaya and manomaya koshas through lobham moham and ahamkaram We have to get rid of them Even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot do anything in this regard

Best asana for yoganidra is shavasana Lord Shiva is the expert in that asana Real shavasana is when even if Mother Kali dances

on you your peace should not be disturbed This denotes complete relaxation When we say lsquoom shanti shanti shantirsquo peace should descend into us in all our 3 bodies

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

The next level of cleansing is for the pranamaya kosha We should use pranayamas for cleansing pranamaya kosha It acts as the manure to make your physical body fertile Kapalabhati is a good pranayama Understand how it affects the kapala when the actual physical movement is below the navel Kapala means forehead All our prarabdha karmas will be eliminated with regular and scientific practice of this pranayama Relaxationyoga nidra takes away all physical emotional and mental diseases The 4 basic components to bring forth relaxation response (from lsquoThe Relaxation responsersquo by Herbert Benson MD) are

1 A quiet environment

Ideally you should chose a quiet calm environment with as few distractions as possible A quiet room is suitable as is a place of worship The quiet environment contributes to the effectiveness of the repeated word or phrase by making it easier to eliminate distracting thoughts

2 A mental device

To shift the mind from the logical externally oriented thought there should be a constant stimulus a sound word or phrase repeated silently or aloud or fixed gazing at an object Since one of the major difficulties in the elicitation of the Relaxation Response is ldquomind wanderingrdquo the repetition of the word or phrase is a way to help break the train of distracting thoughts Your eyes are usually closed if you are using a repeated sound or word of course your eyes are open if you are gazing Attention to the normal rhythm of breathing is also useful and enhances the repetition of the sound or the word

3 A Passive attitude

When distracting thoughts occur they are to be disregarded and attention redirected to the repetition or gazing you should not worry about how well you are performing the technique because this may well prevent the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 31

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Relaxation Response from occurring Adopt a ldquolet it happenrdquo attitude The passive attitude is perhaps the most important element in eliciting the Relaxation Response Distracting thoughts will occur Do not worry about them When these thoughts do present themselves and you become aware of them simply return to the repetition of the mental device These other thoughts do not mean you are performing the technique incorrectly They are to be expected

4 A comfortable position

A comfortable posture is important so that there is no undue muscular tension Some methods call for a sitting position A few practices use the cross legged ldquolotusrdquo position of the Yogi If you are lying down there is a tendency to fall asleep As we have noted previously the various postures of kneeling swaying or sitting in a cross-legged position are believed to have evolved to prevent falling asleep You should be comfortable and relaxed

Sri Aurobindo tells that Humanity has achieved perfection in the physical and pranamaya bodies We should start using them Doing any sadhana to lsquoperfectrsquo them is futile We should start focusing on the mind to achieve the lsquosupra mental statersquo

Three questions asked by Param Pujya Gurudev

To these questions one should prepare as if one is preparing to succeed in an examination These questions should be taken up seriously Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos thoughts have been printed in the form of book (ankitamayyayi) Those should get imprinted in your brain When a teacher teaches something in the class after listening to it you can teach the same things later You should learn

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 32

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

these concepts given by Param Pujya Gurudev with the same seriousness and dedication You should not be influenced by your near and dear ones who are leading a life of food and procreation

Question 1 Why did the creator give this body that is so rare for all other creatures to humans What were His wishes Why did He give his boons to man

Answer In the question Param Pujya Gurudev uses the word kaLatmaka jeevitam ndash kala here does not mean only arts it also refers to the Kalas of chandras We should know those 16 kalas

To get answers to the first question we should know the basics of evolution of life

Evolution

The first steps to evolution of earth began with the formation of earth Earth was a burning globe of fire which cooled down and minerals were formed at its skin ndash hence we are all on the skin of earth At that time evolution was being carried out on the moon Once the earth had cooled down with minerals a decision was taken to move the evolution from moon to earth At this time life on earth started and moon started to die

Then came the plants Their purpose was to generate oxygen in the atmosphere for the next level evolution to start All the plants grew towards the sun Their branches were vertical For plants to thrive we need both sun and water But they should be in proportionate quantity ndash neither too little nor too much Tulsi is the highest evolution point in the plant kingdom especially for human evolution

Once the atmosphere was suitable for animals to live animals evolved Pythogoras has said that a plant that used to look towards sun when it looks towards the Earth they become animals All the animals have their backbone horizontal Then among the animals the evolution continued and physical body

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 33

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 34

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 35

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 57

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

was being perfected It eventually gave rise to an animal whose backbone was vertical ndash the humans had arrived

With this turn of the backbone evolution moved to the next stage In this man Nature perfected the physical body Today evolution has reached a stage where according to Sri Aurobindo and Param Pujya Gurudev Nature perfected physical body and pranamaya kosha in Man

As humans moved to earth moon became a dead planet

In spite of being a dead planet the rays of the moon will continue to nourish us for few lakhs of years

What is it that separates the humans from animals

The answer to this is given by the sutraAhara nidra bhaya maithunam cha saamanyametat pashubir naraanaam |

dharmo hi eko adhika viseso dharmena hinah pasubhissamanah||While humans and animals share the propensity to eat sleep mate and be afraid it is only Dharma that is different Do not think that Dharma means religion Dharma is not religion Understand the true meaning of Dharma

Param Pujya Gurudev explains in KDS-2 that the true purpose of this human body is to evolve and be a partner in evolution He has given a very special sadhana called Savita Dhyan Remember the names Rama-chandra for Lord Ram The word Chandra is a title that was given to him because he took evolution further Anyone who helps in evolution is given the title lsquochandrarsquo Param Pujya Gurudev wants us all to become chandras

What is the link between Sun and moonIn Gitarsquos chapter 15 Lord Krishna explains thus

yad aditya-gatam tejojagad bhasayate

rsquokhilam

gam avisya ca bhutanidharayamy aham ojasapusnami causadhih

aham vaisvanaro butvapraninam deham asritahpranapana-samayuktah

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

yac candramasi yac cagnau

tat tejo viddhi mamakam (1512)

sarvahsomo bhutva rasatmakah (1513)

pacamy annam catur-vidham(1514)

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 57

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Know that light energy to be Mine that comes from the sun and illumines the whole world and is in the

moon and in fire

Entering the earth I support all beings with My energy Becoming the sap-giving moon I nourish all the plants

Becoming the digestive fire I remain in the body of all living beings Uniting with vital breaths (Prana and Apana) I digest all types of food

Thus it is clear that it is the sun that nourishes and protects us as moon and fire

Question 2 In the present circumstances what is the best use of all the wealth and resources given to man

Answer The key to this question is the word lsquogivenrsquo Note that this is in the past tense It means that Param Pujya Gurudev has already given the necessary wealth and resources to man It is now up to men to use it What have we been given We have been given this body with the 5 koshas

Refer to his last speech from the dias in Shantikunj He tells us that 1 You are all devatas in the form of bears and monkeys You too have come

here to earth on a special invitation with a special purpose and to work in a special area of work

Do you ever think why he used the words bears and monkeys The bear in Ramayana ndash Jambavan lived into Dwapara yuga and is responsible for handing over the lsquoShamantaka manirsquo to Krishna In other words he offered the jewel with the power of sun to Krishna When Param Pujya Gurudev tells that you that you are a devata in the form of a bear he is asking you to offer to him the power sun in you The power of sun can be obtained best by Gayatri Mantra

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

2 I have eliminated all your adversaries They are living corpses and are there so that you may get name fame and glory The crown is ready for you greatness is ready awaiting your acceptance go and get it

3 My Punya and my penance will solve all your problems My Punya which is being continued from the past will be of use for everyone but will not be of use for some My work will not stop it will grow it will go on increasing

Remember that we should do Gayatri Sadhana and not Gayatri Jap Jap is for your individual benefit Param Pujya Gurudev in the same lecture says that he is offering His punya to us Now when He is offering the result of His sadhana to you to be used for his work do you say ndash ldquoI donrsquot want your punya Let me make some on my ownrdquo

Arjuna could definitely not fight against Bhishma Drona Karna and Jayadratha Only when Krishna assured that he had killed them already did he fight Now Mahakaal has said that he has killed the obstacles in our path what should we do He has kept the throne ready for us if we are ready to accept Rukmini wanted sudama to be helped Krishna was waiting to help Sudama But Sudama did not realize it and he kept weeping At least Sudama did not know that Krishna was waiting But for you Param Pujya Gurudev has openly told that he is waiting to help you In spite of knowing this if you just worry where you will get money resources etc and not start working are you not worse than Sudama

4 Beware of Kaalnemi and protect yourselves from him If you are in the clutches of Kaalnemi even I cannot do anything

When the Mahabharata war happened Balram went on a teerth yatra He came under the clutches of kaalnemi and leaving the purpose for which he was born he went away Krishna could not do anything Today kaalnemi affects us in the form of lsquolack of motivationrsquo lsquolack of enthusiasmrsquo lsquosense of helplessnessrsquo etc Param Pujya Gurudev tells his parijan that they have all taken birth to do this work If you are affected by such moods and

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 36

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 40

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 57

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

stop working towards your life goals even Param Pujya Gurudev cannot help you

Remember that the activity that has to be done in the Kaliyug has to be done now Pram Pujya Gurudev says ldquoI have given Satyug It will comerdquo Hence it will be done irrespective of whether you participate in it or not When India fought for independence many people did not join it It did not make a difference to India and she got independence anyways The difference came in the life of those who participated If you see today the children and grandchildren of those who participated in the freedom struggle are ruling the country

Similarly if you join now and work before Satyug comes you will benefit If not then you will miss out on this last chance

The situation as it is now is ndash humans are in a stage above devatas Having known Gayatri mantra if you have not become devatas ndash it means that we have not understood itTo remind men and women about their true nature Param Pujya Gurudev installed 5 mirrors in Shantikunj Those mirrors have been installed in the place where viswamitra had done tapas You should see the pranamaya sarira in the mirrors and not your physical body You should see how the pranamaya sharira should function in the mirror Just as you check if your physical appearance is correct or not you should look at pranamaya sharira with similar clarityEach of the mirrors has a title If we understand the title of these mirrors we will understand what the answer to the second question isThe titles are

1 Soham2 Shivoham3 Sacchidanandoham 4 Ayamatma brahma 5 Tatvamasi

This line of mirrors is for us to realize the true nature of our self Param Pujya Gurudev said that man is a devata who has meandered away from the path

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 37

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

(bhatka hua devta) We have to understand the titles and realize the true self For each there is a sadhana associated

Soham

Soham means sa-o-ha-m that is saha with om Understand that breathing with soham s and ha is mingled with o and m What is Om We have already read about AUM before and how it enables us to reach tureeya stithi Here are the benefits of understanding Om as given by Master DK

To these problems of individual or separative existence and of its opposite the Sacred Word the OM is intimately related It might be said [131] in the words of an occult manual on healing given to advanced disciples that-He who lives under the sound of the AUM knows himself He who lives sounding the OM knows his brother He who knows the Sound knows all Then in the cryptic and symbolic language of the initiate the manual goes onThe breath of life becomes the cause of death to the one who lives within a shell He exists but he is not the breath then leaves and spirals to the wholeHe who breathes forth the OM knows not himself alone He knows the breath is prana life the fluid of connection The ills of life are his because they are the lot of man - not generated in a shell because the shell is notHe who is the Sound and sounding forth knows not disease knows not the hand of death

Maharshi Patanjali explains the same through 3 sutras in SamadhipaadaSutra 26 - Sa purveshamapi guruh kalena anavacchedatSutra 27 - tasya vachakah pranavahSutra 28 - Tat Japaha Tat Artha Bhavanaha

Your entire pranamaya sharira resonates to the vibrations of soham Just as in the physical body the heart beats always with the sound lab-dab and provides the rhythm around which the entire revolves the vibrations of soham run the

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 38

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 57

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

pranamaya sharira This happens 24 hours of the day and when it stops you die Be aware of these vibrations in your body The capacity to work in your pranamya sharira is 100 times more than that in the physical body According to Lahiri mahasaya one half minute of Kriya yoga can move you a year ahead in evolution of natural spiritual unfoldment This is the power of the pranamaya sharira Even if one person on this earth lives at a faster rate it benefits the entire humanity This is the secret behind how Param Pujya Gurudev was able to finish Kaliyug for entire humanity from 432000 years to 5000 years For example the first heart transplantation was done by one doctor on 3 rd

December 1967 Now more than 8000 transplants are done every year Once someone achieves something it opens the path for the entire humanity to achieve it

Asanas and Pranayamas are very useful for developing onersquos pranamaya sharira The various postures of Asanas act upon the nadis and hold and release the flow of prana through the body When prana is held and released it moves out with higher pressure cleansing the path Also useful is the Gayatri Mantra Sadhana Hint This is because Gayatri sits on a lsquoHamsarsquo The word hamsa is the reverse of soham

Param Pujya Gurudev has given us the technique for knowing pranamaya sharira through soham Refer to Gayatri Maha Vigyan When you do this sadhana you have to definitely do 30 mins of asana and pranayama

When you do this Soham sadhana you will achieve means complete relaxation The relaxation will not only be for your body but also for your emotions and mind

How does knowing your self make you relaxed

When a teacher teaches a subject the student is listening to it with alert and tense mind The student faces stress during examinations But the teacher is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 39

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

relaxed in this entire process Once you understand the true nature of your self you will be able to understand your true goals and purpose There will be no confusion and this relaxed you

There are various celestial beings who aid in our sadhana These are Devata Rakshasa Yaksha (Scientists doctors etc) Kinnera (Actors ndash those who mouth lines penned by someone else) Kimpurusha Gandharva (Directors of movie who work behind the scene) Naaga and Garuda These beings with the exception of devatas help you in your quest to know your self However when one wants to move to the next level of shivoham these become hindrances You have to move beyond these beings and take the help of devatas

Shivoham

Shivoham is the method of perfecting or correcting manomaya sharira Shiva is the remover of unwanted things and bestower of auspiciousness Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos sahitya is the best way of developing mental body out of that choose 20 KDS books first Choose one of the vangmayas and understand it completely

Whenever a person evolves he goes to the next stage after the completion of the previous stage Death is also a completion of a stage in evolution Shiva is the Lord who helps one to move from one stage of evolution to the next That is why Shiva lives in a cremation ground and with prethas

If you do what you want to do then it becomes soham When you do what Param Pujya Gurudev asks you to do it becomes shivoham

Sachidanandoham

Sat ndash means existence essence Do you know what is the essence of your life Sat relates to the lower three bodies - the physical emotional and mental Only when you use all the three bodies properly you will get satta or power

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chitta The mind receives information from the Gyanendrias and controls the Karmendriyas The information received is from all sides As this information is processed a person gravitates towards certain aspects which interests him With time these interests grow and results into a habit When these habits become stronger they become chitta A person lsquos chitta carries over across births The aim of Yoga is to control the vrittis of chitta

yogah chittavritti nirodhah Only when you remove those chittavrittis you will realize your lsquosatrsquo

Removal of chitta vrittis means removing all forms vrittis ndash both positive and negative For example if a thorn is stuck in your foot you need another thorn to remove it Once the stuck thorn is removed the thorn you used to remove also should be removed

Let us understand how the 24 beejaksharas of Gayatri mantra are related to us 20 of these are individual These are different to each one of us These are the 5 karmendriyas 5 jnanendriyas 5 tatvas 5 pranas The next four are collective They are yours but linked with all These are the Manas buddhi chitta ahamkara ndash antahkaranas are your own but they are linked with all These four are collectively useful not individually

These beejaksharas are linked to our genes We have to further understand about this linkage

Ananda ndash Paul Brunton talks about ananda as told by ramana maharshi

Imagine a person who has been wanting to fulfill a desire to buy ndash let us say a car He has been saving money for a long time and

one day he buys a car What he feels at that moment is ananda Ramana Maharshi tells that the ananda is not because of him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 41

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 44

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 48

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

achieving his desire but because at that moment he is in a desireless state

If you are free of desires you will always live in this state One of the ways in which great people achieved this is through surrender ndash by surrendering to the will of their LordGuru

One of the problems that might arise if you are continuously in a desireless state you cannot recognize ananda Also you might not work at all and become like stones and animals (ever happy) Ponder over if idols in temples are in this state DK says Idea -gt ideal -gt idol

We think that Ananda is an end In fact one who experiences bliss actually starts working We should also learn to use ananda as a tool Removal of chittavrittis lead to ananda Once a scientist gives a theory several scientists work together to realize that theory into an invention ndash this is the true state of lsquoananda kriyasheelatarsquo They work with ananda for that cause Remember that ananda is always associated with action or work Ananda is an action that gives ananda ndash you have to do something An example of work being derived from ananda is in the life of Annamayya When he sees the idol of the Lord he experiences bliss and the work of his life begins

Question 3 As birth death is also sure After death when you have to present yourselves in the Higher court how would you present your life to be decided

Do u realize that you are being born and dying with each breath When you inhale you are born when you exhale you are dying

Param Pujya Gurudev is not talking about your death He has asked us to live like lsquoHar din naya janm har raat nayi mautrsquo Hence we have to go to Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos court everyday Everyday we have to check our activities Everyday we have to check if we spend the time which we gave as samaydaan has been spend properly

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 46

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Chapter 3 A never before opportunity that should not be missed

We should give Samayadaan amsadaan pratibha daan to gurudev We should not procrastinate We never know for how long we have this precious life Understand that all these three should be given in the true sense of daan Give and forget about it

These days the lives of men are being written on a fresh paper with new ink Just as

You can book your seat in a train before it leaves You can take either a first class ticket or seating However once the train starts your position is fixed

In a play it has to be decided on the cast of the play One has an opportunity to choose his role before the play begins Once the play starts all actors have to act out their roles They cannot choose to become someone else then

Each of us have an opportunity to chose where we want to be positioned in this new era Each of us who have praana has to come forward and choose a role according to his abilities One alternative is to leave the choice of the role to Param Pujya Gurudev and then act out our roles to perfection

By saying this Param Pujya Gurudev has wiped off our prarabdha karma Now you have the opportunity to start a new life and live at as you would wish All those Gayatri sadhakas who have done the 9 day sanjivani course is pranavaan

Knowledge without action has no meaning Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos centenary celebrations is like our examination Those who have not worked till now can also buck up and pass in the exam by striving now

Even a small lamp fights bravely against darkness and lights up its surroundings To this end it burns up its oil and wick Param Pujya Gurudev asks lsquoIs not our abilities greater than that of the lamprsquo Notice the use of the word our Here He is combining his and your abilities You might have doubts on your abilities but

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 45

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

you will not have doubts on His abilities Canrsquot you now work harder knowing that HE is assuring His support to us

Exchange is the eternal law of life

In life when you gives something you always receive something in return You spend a few lakhs and give time to complete a course in medicine After that you will definitely receive much more from nature than what you have given This law of give and take is applicable not just in spiritual field but in all walks of life

What you receive depends on what you gave and when you gave it When someone does a good deed they get gratitude in return However when you help someone in their critical time of need they will be ready to give their all in return for you

For example Narada spends all his time in spreading bhakti and love for his Lord Hence he has access too all Gods at any time Hanuman helped Rama when he was looking for Sita and in the battle with Ravana He served Rama so well that Rama called Hanuman his fifth brother

What are we giving back to the society for all that we have received What have we given to Param Pujya Gurudev First thing that he is asking is samaydaan Do all your regular life activities and take our some time for Param Pujya Gurudev Choose any activity that appeals to you and spend time on that Maintain diary so as to do self-appraisal of how well you are following that

Just as Hanuman worked for his Ram canrsquot you all work for your Shriram

Work you do during this period of yugasandhi can make you transcend millions of years in evolution This transition period will not come again for several millions of years to come That is why Param Pujya Gurudev says ndash lsquoDo not let go of this opportunityrsquo

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Chapter 4 Samaydaan ndash Mahadaan

Here the word Maha not only means great but also means the fourth dimension (The first three dimensions are Bhur Bhuvah Swah)

Time as we know it is related to this three dimensional world When you look from the fourth dimension time no longer exists There everything exists in the lsquoEternal nowrsquo

In this chapter we will need to keep a sharp eye on the words used by Param Pujya Gurudev

Talking about Mahadaan Gurudev says यहा बड़ महतवपरण निःसवारथी उपयोगी और परररणापद काय की बात चल रही ह Here the 4 words have hidden meaning

Mahatvapoorn is related to Manas niswaarth is related to Buddhi Upayogi is related to Ahamkar and Preranapad is related to Chitta

He further says ndash गव गौरव अभव करत ह Here the word garv is used in the sense when Hanuman fought with Rama and Arjuna fought with Krishna Many disciples develop pride in their surrender We should all guard against it

Further Param Pujya Gurudev warns us that just as there is a flood of duplicate goods in the market there are many duplicitous people who are cheating people instead of creating the atmosphere necessary for creating Sat yuga There were close to 60 Lakh dharm pracharaks in India in the 1980s Today the number is even higher We have to check if we too have become such lip-service paying dharm pracharaks or are we truly working for the revival of Satyug

How should we work to revive the ancient tradition of Samaydaan

Any work that we do should be done regularly All great people have achieved greatness based on this simple principle Their regularity is rock solid Whatever time you give as samay daan ndash whether it is less or more ndash should be given

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 47

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

regularly In that time one should work only on the activities specified by Param Pujya Gurudev

Two challenges thrown by Param Pujya Gurudev

Param Pujya Gurudev has thrown two challenges to all of us These are ndash

1 Is it possible to revive the ancient tradition of samay daan

2 To enable people to adopt this great tradition that will play an important role in the creation of glorious future can you sow the seeds of zealous activity in the minds of the coming generations

This is the first time in the history that God himself is inviting you Can you imagine what a great opportunity this is

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 49

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 50

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Other important related topics covered

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 55

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

Chapter 5 Transformation happens instantaneously if the view point changes

Which is the greatest daan

The greatest daan is that which is done at the correct time For a person dying from thirst giving water is the greatest donation at that time When a house is on fire pouring water is the greatest donation for a person being swept away in floods a boat is the lifesaver

The present biggest crisis faced by humanity

Today the biggest crisis faced by humanity is the lack of faith (Vishwasa rahitya ndash Aastha sankat) between people People are seeing things upside down

How do you solve this crisis

To overcome this we should

1 Adopt a respecting attitude(manyata) towards unity(ekata) and equality (samata)

2 One should learn to share food and live happily 3 We should interact with others with an attitude of collaboration(sahayog)

and co-operation(sahakar) 4 Our life should be of high thinking and simple living 5 Maintain your integrity at all times6 Do not flaunt wealth and work towards removing scarcity from everyonersquos

lives7 Always follow human values and never act in a manner which is forbidden 8 Do not be corrupt and dont tolerate it

However today people are living in opposite manner They are hoarding and flaunting wealth This is seen often as expensive weddings

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Today intellectualism is growing with science By misusing both of these - diseases unemployment poverty is growing The poisoned atmosphere due to pollution is putting the entire life at risk Looking at how rampantly people are consuming narcotics it appears as if a well chalked out plan has been put in place for mass suicide of humanity Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and he realized that he did a major mistake To atone for that mistake he introduced Nobel prize as a sign of encouraging all those who have invented something for the welfare of society But 90 of scientists today are in defence working on war and ammunition

Ponder on what we are doing apart from increasing pollution You can atleast not plant tulasi at home A Tulasi plant will immediately help your family If you cannot do this also you should do Jap of 1 mala Tulasi Gayatri Cant you even do that to purify the environment Understand that Gayatri mantra is an atomic bomb that can correct your mind You can use gayatri mantra as a weapon to prevent this mass suicide Arthur Koestler one of the greatest western thinkers once said that the Gayatri Mantra has the power of a thousand atomic bombs JBS Haldane - a famous scientist wrote The Gayatri Mantra should be carved on the doors of every laboratory of the world

These are not just words by them They understood the power of the Mantra and said them Should we all not who do Gayatri Sadhana feel the same power in the Mantra

Today the biggest lacking among men is the ability to think in terms of human values and to live according to these principles As a result the basic standard humanity is falling down Water always flows downward To raise it effort is needed Similarly we need to put in efforts to raise the living values of humanity Today the field of positive activities is suffering from great weakness The corrupt thinking is poisoning our activites at a fast rate

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 51

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 57

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

To reverse the effects of corrupt thinking and align it with noble ideals is the only solution to todayrsquos problems Plan on what you will do to reverse the effects and solve the problems

In this regard we have to use the works of men and speech as strong weapons Just as you are reading Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos literature these ideas should become part of you and become a part of your speech

The important basis for this era

The era defines only one basis that is of prime importance This is Thought revolution

Param Pujya Gurudev says ldquoDepending on what type of glasses one puts on their eyes everything will appear in the same color One sees hisher own image in the mirror In a building our voice echoes Our shadow follows usrdquo Here color stands for mind Mirror symbolizes our buddhi Echo symbolizes chitta The shadow symbolizes ahamkar

The true test of whether we are doing Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos work properly is that there will be no dearth of resources in our life for those who work for him

Chapter 6 The ability to influence

One of the usual complaints from people working on the field is ndash lsquoWe preach to people But they do not listen They listen through this ear and leave it through the other What we say has no influence on others They are just not ready to adopt the teachings into their lifersquo

Param Pujya Gurudev gives the following method to solve this common problem

When it is between a teacher and a student in a typical school the teacher teaches something and student learns it However when it comes to spreading noble ideals and bring about a transformation the person who wants to teach should first practice what he teaches When one can do it then others are automatically influenced

However if one has to learn and practise and then teach we lose time Here is a simple way by which one can teach while learning and influence people

The method is to spread Param Pujya Gurudevrsquos teaching by putting the prefix lsquoParam Pujya Gurdev has saidrsquo Practice is for you to gain confidence in what you are telling But for it to be effective repeating what Param Pujya Gurudev has said is sufficient

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 54

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Whoever has listened to narada has become great Some examples are Dhruva Uma Savitri Saraswati etc Param Pujya Gurudev in one of his books has written ndash lsquoI have become Devarshi in this lifersquo Can we not reach that state by listening to Narada (Param Pujya Gurudev)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Prana 5 to 1

In all of us prana enters us from the cosmic AUM and divides into 5 different parts ie

1 Prana extending from the nose to the heart and having special relation to the mouth and speech the heart and lungs

2 Samana extends from the heart to the solar plexus it concerns food and the nourishing of the body through the medium of food and drink and has a special relation to the stomach

3 Apana controls from the solar plexus to the soles of the feet it concerns the organs of elimination of rejection and of birth thus have a special relation to the organs of reproduction and of elimination

4 Udana is found between the nose and the top of the head it has a special relation to the brain the nose and the eyes and when properly controlled produces the coordination of the vital airs and their correct handling

5 Vyana is the term applied to the sum total of pranic energy as it is distributed evenly throughout the entire body

If you focus on these pranas when you start your meal it has an immense positive benefit Use the following traditional mantras before you eat

Om Pranaya swaha ndash food goes till heart (stomach)

Om samanaya swaha ndash after reaching the stomach everything get digested Saliva juices from 2 sides of the mouth and beneath the tongue

Om apanaya swaha ndash from navel to legs after digestion

Om udanaya swaha ndash from throat goes upwards till the brain

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

up modifies the indestructible intelligence by causing it to be overlaid with ignorance He then causes Consciousness to spring up whence it originates Mind which is at one with the Manifestrdquo

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

26 July - 14 Aug 2010 Page 59

Janm shatabdi lectures by Dr RK on Kranti Dharmi Sahitya

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Om vyanaya swaha ndash circulates in the entire body

These 5 pranas flow together in a sheath that covers then and are shown symbolically as the panchamukhi Gayatri

Param Pujya Gurudev has given a sadhana wherein these 5 pranas can be combined into one This is symbolically the Ekamukhi Gayatri Gayatri is always shown as sitting on a swan that is swimming in the ocean The ocean represents the ocean of prana

It is interesting to note that blood which is the physical plane equivalent of prana has a similar chemical composition as that of our oceans In the past sea water was used as substitute for blood in emergency on ships Rene Quinton a french biologist did extensive research on this He also used purified sea water as medicine and this is used even today For more details see (httpwwwplasmaquintoncom)

OM- The ocean of Prana

OM is the ocean of prana on which Vishnu is sleeping When we say OM we are not uttering the sound It is in fact the sound generated due to waves in pranic

ocean is AUM We have to enter this ocean OM is pranamaya shakti samudramu AUM is the ocean of prana

See the picture of Gayatri and see how she is seated You will realize that she is seated just like shirdi sai

She is also seated on the swan in prana samudra All of us have prana but the soham of each one of us is different in that ocean of AUM

Dasharatha and others worked along with devatas in the fight against rakshasas Are we doing anything other than begging them We are in the stage of evolution where the next step is devatas We should become co-workers with devatas Live like a devata in your own house Others will emulate you

Timings of the Four Yugas

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

In calculating the duration of the different yugas there are a few differences between the Puranas The Brahmanda Purana (122931-34) specifically states that Krita or Satya-yuga is 1440000 human years in length Treta-yuga is 1080000 years Dvapara-yuga is 720000 years and Kali-yuga is 360000 years in length The Linga Purana (424-35) also agrees with this except for Treta-yuga which it says is 1800000 years in length

However when explaining the various measurements of time the Vishnu Purana (Book One Chapter Three) and the Srimad-Bhagavatam (31119) along with the Bhagavad-gita (817) and the Vayu Purana (Chapter 57) and others such as the Mahabharata as quoted above all agree on the measurements of the durations of the yugas as explained below

In the explanations of the measurements of time found therein one cycle of the four yugas together is 12000 years of the demigods called divine years Each of these years is composed of 360 days and each of their days is equal to one human year So Krita-yuga is 4000 divine years in length Treta-yuga is 3000 divine years in length Dvapara-yuga is 2000 divine years in length and Kali-yuga is 1000 divine years long with the addition of the conjoining portions of the Sandhya and Sandhyansa

In this way each yuga is preceded by a period called a Sandhya which is as many hundred years in length as there are thousands of years in that particular yuga Each yuga is also followed by a period of time known as a Sandhyansa which is also as many hundreds of years in length as there are thousands of years in the yuga In between these periods of time is the actual yuga Therefore we have

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]

Timings of the Four Yugas

By Stephen Knapp

httpwwwstephen-knappcomtimings_of_the_four_yugashtm

When describing the length of the yugas or ages and which yuga we are in and how far along we are in it there is sometimes confusion about how to calculate them Some people think we are already in the next Satya-yuga known as the Golden Age The problem is when the yugas are figured only according to the years in earthrsquos time in which case any calculations will never be accurate They are described in the Vedic literature according to the celestial years or years of the devas not according to the time we experience here on earth This is where we have to make adjustments Nonetheless there are specific references in the Vedic texts which make it clear how to calculate them For starters the Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23112-20) explains it in detail

ldquoThe rishis measuring time have given particular names to particular portions [of time] Five and ten winks of the eye make what is called a Kastha Thirty Kasthas make what is called a Kala Thirty Kalas with the tenth part of a Kala make a Muhurta Thirty Muhurtas make one day and night Thirty days and nights form a month and twelve months form a year Persons well-read in mathematical science say that a year is made up of two solar motions meaning the northern and southern The sun makes the day and night for men The night is for the sleep of all living creatures and the day is for work A month of human beings is equal to a day and night of the departed manes [ancestors who have gone on to the subtle worlds] That division consists in this the light half of the month is their day which is for work and the dark fortnight is their night for sleep A year (of men) is equal to a day and night to the gods [devas or celestials] This division consists in this the half year for which the sun travels from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is the day of the gods and the half year for which the sun moves from the latter to the former is their night [Thus an earth year is but a day

for the devas] Calculating by the days and nights of human beings about which I have told you I shall speak of the day and night of Brahma and his years also I shall in their order tell you the number of years that are for different purposes calculated differently in the Krita the Treta the Dvapara and the Kali Yugas Four thousand celestial years is the duration of the first or Krita age The morning of that cycle consists of four hundred years and its evening is of four hundred years [Note This says celestial years or years of the demigods on the higher planets Such years are much longer than those of planet earth So 4000 celestial years with the morning or Sandhya of 400 celestial years and the evening or Sandhyansa or intermediate period of another 400 years equals 4800 celestial years or 1728000 human years]

ldquoRegarding the other cycles the duration of each gradually decreases by a quarter in respect of both the principal period with the minor portion and the conjoining portion itself These periods always keep up the never-ending and eternal worlds They who know Brahma O child regard this as Immutable Brahmardquo (Mb Shanti Parva Chap231 Text 21-22)

This means that as each age appears from the Krita Treta Dvapara to Kali each yuga decreases by a quarter of the previous yuga in addition to the conjoining Sandhya and Sandhyansa periods with each yuga In this way it is roughly calculated that a whole cycle of the four yugas namely Krita Treta Dvapara and Kali-yuga together total about 12000 celestial years in length

The Mahabharata (Shanti Parva 23129-32) continues ldquoThe learned say that these 12000 celestial years form what is called a cycle A thousand such cycles form a single day of Brahma The same is the duration of Brahmas night With the beginning of Brahmas day the universal entities come into being During the period of universal dissolution the Creator sleeps in Yoga-meditation When the period of sleep expires He awakes What is Brahmarsquos day covers a thousand such cycles His night also covers a thousand similar cycles They who know this are said to know the day and the night On the expiry of His night Brahma waking

Krita-yuga = 4000 divine years Sandhya = 400 divine years Sandhyansa = 400 divine years Total = 4800 divine years x 360 days = 1728000 human years

Treta-yuga = 3000 divine years Sandhya = 300 divine years Sandhyansa = 300 divine years Total = 3600 divine years x 360 days = 1296000 human years

Dvapara-yuga = 2000 divine years Sandhya = 200 divine years Sandhyansa = 200 divine years Total = 2400 divine years x 360 days = 864000 human years

Kali-yuga = 1000 divine years Sandhya = 100 divine years Sandhyansa = 100 divine years Total = 1200 divine years x 360 days = 432000 human years

This equals 4320000 human years in one cycle of the four yugas together and 1000 cycles of these yugas equals 12000 divine years and 4320000000 human years in a day of Brahma

It is also explained that Kali-yuga began with the disappearance of Lord Krishna from the planet This has been calculated to be 3102 BC Since Kali-yuga is described as being 432000 earth years in length with 5000 years and more already passed

[Param Pujya Gurudev through his Sadhana has ensured that the entire 432000 years of evolution be completed in this 5000 years Hence KritayugaSatya yugas is starting now]
