Before indulgence in meditation, breathing exercises (Pranayama) or yoga we need understanding some basic points on path of pure spirituality. Yoga was no different from meditation. Yoga meditation was the precept, undertaking spiritual journey path towards God Almighty. Indulgence in pranayama was part of spirituality. Through inhaling and exhaling process we tried to reach our soul atman, the spirit within residing in our heart. Reaching our true inner self means realizing self, realizing god forever!
Starting in search of God six years of age I finally succeeded in establishing ultimate goal of life 13 years of age. I started indulging in meditation. I went to meditation classes where I was told to sit in a darkened room and concentrate my focus on a dimly lit bulb. When I asked what I was supposed to do, all were practically blank. None really knew anything about meditation and how to go about it. After few sessions I quit the classes. As I delved more and more into god something within told me to read further!
Realizing that Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana were two saints who succeeded in reaching God in their lifetime… I started collecting all literature concerning these two spiritual stalwarts. While reading through life history of Ramana Maharishi I finally realized, the way people indulged in meditation yoga was totally humbug. Yoga meditation was never practiced that way. To indulge in yoga meditation one needs contemplating on text contained in scriptures of different religions of world.
I started following path undertaken by Maharishi Ramana… path of self enquiry, logical reasoning. This helped me cut my queries to the minimum. As my spiritual progress, accordingly the leftover queries! With passage of time all my parent queries started dissolving forever. Day and night I thanked Maharishi Ramana for promoting me on path of logical reasoning. In absence of teachings of Maharishi Ramana I truly would have reached nowhere. From the beginning Maharishi Ramana travelled path of jnana yoga.
While walking, jogging, swimming, working in my office I indulged in pranayama whenever possible. I wanted to reach the source that required breathing. Lying down in shavasna pose of yoga I used to indulge in pranayama most of time. When done with pranayama I used to concentrate on Neti (not this, not this)… path of self enquiry indulged and promoted by Maharishi Ramana. On path of Neti we are supposed to reject everything that was not god. The final leftover in end would be God Almighty himself.
What a wonderful concept of spirituality? Wow to Maharishi Ramana for introducing me to path of Neti (not this, not this). Lying in shavasna pose of yoga I started negating my karma. As queries within dissolved step-by-step I scaled higher levels of spirituality. I could have a communion with God on one-to-one basis but intermittently. I could organize roundtable conferences with Lord Krishna, Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammed and many others.
The experiences were exhilarating. My achievements on path of spirituality were in full momentum. For full awakening of my kundalini I indulged in practice of absolute celibacy for a period of 14 years in continuation. The moment my kundalini awakened fully Sahasra Pushpa (thousand petalled Lotus) existing in my brain opened fully. I immediately reached stage of self realization, god realization. Since then I am in communion with God Almighty every second of life on one-to-one basis.
I finally reached cosmic end of life, 8.4 millionth manifestation… last in cosmic life cycle.
