FOREWORD

I am extremely happy to have been

given the honour of writing a Foreword

for Sri Yogi Srijis book titled Wisdom

Light, a very apt title. A book is not worth

the paper it is printed upon unless it

sheds some light on a given subject. If a

book does shed such light and the subject

is also concerned with the upliftment of

the society, then it deserves to be

commended and read widely. I understand

Sri Yogi Sriji is a Guru for a number

of persons in the field of yoga. The word

Guru means one who sheds divine light

and dispels darkness. An ordinary guru

waits for his disciples to come to him

and obtain wisdom whereas, the elders

say, a Sathguru is one who is so full of

love and compassion for his disciples

The Part - I of the Introduction seeks

to tell the reader why men fail and what

kind of questions (like who am I...) should

bother mankind. There is none on this

earth who wants to fail and hence everyone

wants to know how to succeed. The failures

Sri Yogi Sriji refers to are not the ones

at the mundane level but on the higher

level, the spiritual level, where kings and

emperors miserably fail but beggers

and fakirs succeed, with ease and grace.

In these days, there is no dearth of

literature on the spiritual sciences and the

organized institutions in this filed talk

about thousands of crores of rupees in

donations, contributions and sales. An

ordinary man either blindly follows one of

these systems or stung by their

commercialization, stays away from all

such institutions, thereby losing the real

benefit of these sciences which our

ancestors left for us. It is like throwing the

cup away because you have something

against the cup, whereas the content

is pure nectar.

that He seeks them on his own and leads

them in the right path. I wish to see

Sri Yogi Sriji as a Sathguru in this part

of the world.

The book lucidly explains the

complete threefold dimensions of yoga.

There is a wrong nation that yoga is just an

art of twisting the body into various

intricate shapes and adopt certain

unnatural postures like standing on ones

head. This book explains beautifully that

postures (Asanas) are nothing but

physical exercises and it is the

combination of all the three parts of Yoga,

namely exercise, breathing techniques and

meditation which can yield the desired

results. If asanas are difficult due to any

physical constraints, then even other

exercises like walking, jogging, cycling,

swimming etc can be done. This is a

pleasant surprise for me who can now do

my pranayamas without feeling guilty

that my body has become too rigid to do

asanas.

iv v

Sri Yogi Sriji is not in this for

commerce. My interaction with him

say, Try it. If it works, keep it. If it does

not, throw it away. I have not seen any

serious practitioner, throwing his

practices away like this.

So, I request the reader to understand

that this book is a small key which can

open great doors. As the famous writer

Thiru Balakumaran wrote in his

foreword to the Tamil and more elaborate

version of this book ("hd xU

mj). it is not enough to just read.

One should get trained by proper

teachers. We are lucky to have a living

master in Sri Yogi Sriji. Our luck would

be fruitful only when we get initiated

under masters like him and do regular

practices. I wish all the best for you in this

path.

'A WONDER IN SCIENCE

(Original in Tamil)

Popular Tamil Writer Sri Balakumaran

has given the following compliment,-

This book is an excellent guide. Just

like an affectionate mother, passionately

holding the little hands of her beloved

child, leads him to school, this book gently

leads the reader of any age to the edifice

of Meditation.

The above comment of a veteran

writer beautifully conveys the humanism

coupled with profound wisdom one can

notice in the words and deeds of

YOGI SRIJI a living Saint!

YOGI SRIJI, was born as Kuttiappan

Ganesan in the year 1950 in an

agricultural family in Coimbatore, is a

post-graduate. He joined the Tamil Nadu

Government Service and after a long

distinguished service in the department

of Commercial Taxes, he retired as

Deputy Commissioner. In the meanwhile,

having spent more than 25 years of intense

spiritual life, he achieved self-realization

at the age of 47 and realized that science

and spirituality are the same, because

science is an experiment and spirituality

is an experience on belief. With his

relentless search, he was very fortunate to

be blessed with a miraculous divine

darshan from Almighty in the year 1997.

In as much as the almighty is the Guru

of all gurus, with His blessings he

advocated his innovation in scientific

manner for the peace and well-beings of

all sections of people across the globe. Yogi

Sriji has dedicated his life in helping

people to attain perfect physical health,

joy, and success in all spheres of human

endeavors. However, he remains a

'householder', i.e. he has not broken his

family ties, nor renounced the world, but

rather lives a life of true detachment

devoid of exhibitionism, maintaining

family ties and performing his Karma with

the insight of a Gnana Yogi.

Based on his knowledge of the origin

and functions of the cosmos and all the

aspects of life as revealed to his inner

vision by the Almighty, Yogi Sriji has

written an excellent book in Tamil under

PREFACE

Dear brothers and sisters and all my

beloved youngsters, the beautiful souls of

this marvelous universe, please accept the

pranams of 'Yogi Sriji' with Love and Good

wishes to every one of you. This booklet

which you are now holding in the lotus

palms of your beautiful hands was

originally written by me in Tamil with the

title 'A wonder in science' and published

by Dina Publications, Coimbatore-641025,

in the year 2010 . Bes ides the

overwhelming response to that book in

Tamil, the longing of many of my beloved

brothers and sisters to carry the universal

message contained in that book to the

nook and corner of the world prompted

me to extract the essence from the Tamil

book and present it in English. The

intention is to facilitate each and everyone

residing on all parts of the wonderful

planet Earth to attain success fulfilling

all his dreams and desires, and enjoy the

real life gifted by the Almighty.

It is my wish that you begin a new life

from today onwards. Many people have a

false notion that the philosophy of life

and the associated theories are dry

subjects that are very difficult to

understand and much more difficult to

follow. Nevertheless, I assure you all that

you can easily understand and immensely

benefit from them provided you learn

them with the right attitude and in the

r i g h t m a n n e r . T h i s T r i k a r a n a

Transcendental Meditation (TTM),

invented by me after rigorous spiritual

contemplation for several years, will

certainly help you to gain the wisdom that

is needed for living a blissful and

meaningful life easily and efficiently.

TTM is neither a religious ritual nor a

regress exercise; it is a simple scientific

technique and a blending the threefold

unity of body, mind and soul (BMS) with

no efforts; it is very easy to learn and

practice that technique and it does not

require any special ability. It is universal

in its appeal as it is open to the people of

of all sorts and shades regardless of

whether they identify themselves with

any of the organized religions or have

the well being of humankind.

INTRODUCTION

Part - I

Dear brothers and sisters,

AWAKE. ARISE.

OR EVER BE FALLEN

You are wise enough to know that the

words above are not mine; I am quoting

the above dynamic words of Swami

Vivekananda only to reach to your very

soul and open your heart to receive me in

full with confidence and love. I had an

inner realization, which I have been

cherishing for more than Twenty Nine

years with an intention to share it with

you. Therefore, lend your time, ears, mind

to me leaving aside for a while your

disbeliefs and skepticism and be prepared

to experience the inner revolution I am

passionately sharing with you; you may 1

There are so many people who had

already written numerous volumes and

spoken elaborately and eloquently about

the philosophy of life and my endeavor

is to simplify with the blessings from

Almighty what all they wrote and talked

about and pass it on to you in a pleasant

and readily acceptable form. I have termed

my inner realization as 'TRIKARANA

TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION' (TTM)

and also given it a popular title

'NIMMATHI UNKAIYIL' (epk;kjpcd;ifapy);

i.e. 'Peace in your hand'. Before venturing

into the core topic of our study, I would

like to make you conversant with basic

general issues in brief.

We are aware that in the universe,

there are millions and millions of stars

and many sun families. We are also aware

that we are living in this earth, which

is a part of the sun family. The earth is the

fifth largest planet in the solar system

and the only planet that supports life. It

later to come out with your doubts and

misgivings, which I shall be too happy

to clarify.

You know today every human being

is desperately searching for 'Nimmathi'

(epk;kjp) i.e. 'Peace'; he thinks that he

can get it only by achieving all his dreams

and satisfying all his desires. However,

success eludes him because he does not

take the correct way to reach the

destination desired by him. I am sure that

TTM will give you the right route map

that will guide you to reach the stage in

your life where you can taste total success

and absolute enjoyment of the real

happiness in life. The way suggested is the

threefold unity of body, mind and soul

(BMS). This unity is the prime

requirement and purpose of your whole life

and all other expectations and aspirations

pale into insignificance in the glorious

light of this Holy Trinity.

lifeless objects are all travelling such long

distances at great speed continuously

without any break. We are standing,

walking, swimming, playing etc. on the

earth as if it is static without feeling its

movements in the universal space. The

moon, which is a natural satellite to the

earth, is revolving around the earth once

in 28 days. It weighs 735,000 million

tones and its circumference covers 10,919

km. It is located 4, 07,000 km away from

the earth. This sun family said to have 140

moons viz. Earth has 01 moon, Mars

02 moons, Jupiter 63 moons, Saturn

34 moons, Uranus 27 moons and Neptune

13 moons, but the Mercury and Venus

have no moons. Besides dwarf planets

like Pluto and Eris, countless comets,

asteroids, and meteoroids are there. This

information is subject to change since to

the vision of the scientists expands

everlastingly. We can talk endlessly about

the things known about the Sun family

weighs roughly about 59,720,000 million

tons and its circumference covers 40,075

km. It is located 149,597,000 km away

from the sun. The earth rotates around its

own axis at a speed of 1,670 km/hour and

it takes 23 hours 56 minutes 04.09053

seconds for the earth to complete one such

full rotation. By the time it takes one

rotation along its axis travels which we

call as a 'DAY' it revolves around the sun

at a speed of 1,07,870 km/hour and at

this speed it covers 25,41,450 km/day

and completes one full revolution, covering

940 million km, around the sun in

365.2564 days which we term as a

'YEAR'. Besides, you would be astonished

to know that in the above process sun's

peripheral atmosphere wind...
