GRUHASTHA ASHRAM INCORPORATED

(Vishva Sarvatma Bhava Chaitanya Prasara Nilayam)

“UNIVERSAL SELF CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE ULTIMATE AND LAST REVELATION OF DIVINE MESSAGE OF PROVIDENCE TO

MANKIND”.

Message from the Master

For a God realised person called ‘Brahma-Nishta’ has nothing to gain more in this world, and waits to leave the stage of world action, on the exhaustion of destiny ‘Prarabdha-Karma’ the residual fruits of action. The dualities of life viz. good-bad, respect or disrespect, gain or loss, have lost their meaning. Wife and children are dearer only because they are the belongings of God, a sacred – Trust from Him.

So, a tender feeling of love and reverence comes for them. The concepts of Advaita, Vishstadvaita, and Dvaita are not absolute in their connotation. In fact these are different phases through which the seeker of Truth passes at different

Spiritual News Bulletin

Page 2 of 28

periods of yoga practice. And, even at a particular phase of ‘Sadhana’ these three may be experienced. They are as valid as a person passing through child-hood, boy-hood, youth, and old age. They are true and valid at a particular time and may not be valid at another period. Even the greatest ‘Advaitin’ , Bhagavan Sri Adi Sankara was also a great experiencer of ‘dviata - bhava’. He went through various phases of intense bhakti the devotion, for example his marvellous hymens of ‘Nrusimha – stotra’ on Sri-Hari, ‘ Soudariya lahari ’ on Goddess of Creative power of universe the Shridevi, to cite a few. This is possible only when the composer of the hymen foresees the Supreme Lord as away and other than his individual self. But, this does not mean that he did not have the concept of unity of individual and cosmic self. So long one identifies one-self with mind and acts as being of mental-self ( Mano-maya Pursha ), the concept of dvaita or vishistadvaita is there. Advaita is one mode of experiences. When one goes beyond the mind i.e. when mind subsides in ‘Para - Bhakti’ the supreme love of devotion, he experiences homogenous, infinite, undivided, immutable, all pervading, all potent, pure existence – consciousness - blisss ( Sat – Chit - Ananda ). Again when that experience ends, mind comes back and abhyasi feels his individuality, i.e. feeling God is separate to himself the ‘dvaita - bhava’. One cannot live 24 hours in advaita- bhava experience. In that case, body will not survive; falls away. It is experienced intermittently, and not continuously. But a Gnani has intimate, inseparable, intuitive knowledge that dvaita is false by fact just like a scientist is aware intuitively, while enjoying the cool brightness of moon, that it is not a fact of reality, but virtual in nature.

Then Swamiji and Ashram Mata went to Melbourne on 17th October accompanied by Preceptor Shri. Asish Menon and conducted Satsangh Meditation at devote Norma Budinski's house. There also about 30 people attended the satsangh. Norma gave dinner to all these sathsangh gathering. And then the party returned to Perth on 18th October.

easy-go- life, and pleasures in the non-existent objects of the phenomenal world, it by and large obeyed the good teachings of scriptures, elders, and My Master. Dear Mind, you have immense power and potency. You can create the objects your self, since you have been endowed the unique privilege and capacity to be nearest to the Para-Brahman, the Master and there absorb and reflect His glory the Consciousness. Whole phenomenal world – experiences, crumble like a pack of cards without your recognition. That is your real nature, O! My dear child-mind, pray to Master, He will bestow His Grace.’’

Activities Swamiji’s visit to Sydney: 3rd October to17th October ‘09.

Swamiji and Ashram Mata have visited Sydney and Melbourne on spiritual tour. The visit was very fruitful in spreading the message of USC, through yoga meditation. They have stayed with Shri. Govinda Sami, The President IUSCM, Sydney Chapter, Oceanic Pacific Region and Sow. Saroja Sami as guests for one week, and then shifted to Shri. Satyanarayana and Sow. Lakshmi Jayanti Sunkara's residence. They also were the guests of Precepters Anita Bobba's family and Asish Menon for one day. The hospitality of the Noble souls was superb with high devotion to Master. At these two places everyday Swamiji had spiritual sathsangh gatherings where everyday about 30 devotees including some local English people particularly at Asish Menon's Ashram attended. Meditation followed by Pravachan Message of Master was the schedule. Entire environment was surcharged with divine power of Pranahuti. Some New abhysis were initiated during the visit.

Universal SELF Consciousness – The Virat Swarupa of Bhagavan (God)

Bhagavan Sri. Krishna in his Godly incarnation manifested His divine macro cosmic form known as Vishwaroopa or Viratswarupa at few occasions. The most publicised virat - form shown is the one that revealed to Arjuna in the battle field of ‘

Kurukshetra’. And other occasions when He showed his cosmic form of universe were - the one depicted in his mouth to mother Yeshoda as a prank when He was at a tender age of child, chided for eating the earth; and also the one showed to Akrura the great devotee of lord in the waters of river Yamuna . Yet on another occasion was at the court of Drutarashtra when prince Dhuryodhna and his clout attempted to capture and imprison the Lord, when he went there to negotiate peace between Pandasvas and Kauravas, the warring cousin-brothers of Kuru- dynasty. There is a great general misconception about this vishvaropa or viratswaroopa among both lay people and pundits. This is perhaps, because of the painter painting the figure of the lord depicting numerable heads, hands, with variety of weapons in hands, all kinds of devatas the cosmic deities in his gigantic human form touching earth and sky, as evident in the following verses of Gita:

‘’ Anaika Vaktra Nayanam AnaikaAdbhuta Darshanam

Anaika Divya Bhranam Divya Anaiko Dhyata Aayudham’’

( Ref: Gita 11-10 ) Meaning: Arjuna saw in that universal form many unlimited mouths, unlimited many eyes, many wonderful visions. The form was decorated with many celestial ornaments and bore many divine war weapons.

EDITORIAL

Page 4 of 28

‘’ Divya Malya Ambara Dhram Divya Gandhanu Lepanam-

Sarva Aschrya Mayam Devam Anantam Visvato Mukham ‘’

( Ref- G.11-11 ) Meaning: ‘’That Universal Form wore celestial garlands and garments, and many divine scents were smeared over the body. That Cosmic form was wondrous, brilliant, unlimited, and all pervading. ‘’ And also, the sloka in 11th chapter of Gita indicates the terrible universal form of Lord frightened even a mighty warrior like Arjuna who was expert in the knowledge of highly destructive terrible weapon like ‘Brahmastra’ which was equalling and even more, to modern hydrogen bomb in devastating potential, like:

‘’ Adrushta Purvam Hrushito Asmi Drashtva Bhaye Nacha pravyathitam Mano Me Tad Eva Mae Darshya Deva Roopam

Prasida Devesha Jagan Nivasa’’ ( Ref: G:11- 45 )

Meaning: ‘’After seeing this universal form, which I have never seen before, I am gladdened, but at the same time my mind is disturbed with fear. Therefore O! God bestow upon me the Grace, and reveal again your form as the personality of God-head, the refuse of universe.’’

‘’Natu Mam Shakhyase Drashtum Anenaiva Sva Chekshu Sha

Divyam dadami Te Chekshusha Pashya Mae Yogam Aishvaram’’

Meaning: You cannot see Me with your these eyes. I , therefore bestow on you divine eye. Then you can behold the inconceivable mystic power of Mine.

With the above cited scriptural statements what is evident is, that Lord Sri. Krishna has bestowed the intuitive spiritual sight ( Jnana Chekshu ) of Universal SELF Consciousness to Arjuna in the battle field of Kurukshetra, by which he could perceive his Godly manifested form of ’ I ‘ in all beings animate, inanimate,

Page 25 of 28

Harih Kamalajo Api Vaa Thattapi Na Thava Swaastthyam Sarva Vismaraad Rithae ‘’ Meaning: ‘’Even if Siva, Vishnu or Lotus-born Brahmaji, be your instructors, yet, unless you forget all, you cannot achieve abidance in SELF ’’ Explanation: ‘Forgetting is Divine‘ as the saying goes, unless the Abhyasi the spiritual aspirant forgets his past memories of worshipping the God’s creation in plurality including the concept of Trinity Principles of Creation ( Brahmaji ), Sustenance ( Vishnu ), and dissolution ( Siva ), one cannot achieve SELF Realisation, even though one gets the very Trinity as his teachers in spirituality. Unless the memories of past generated by Sanskaras the micro-impressions, stored on Causal body that constitutes the form of Ego are removed and exhausted by either ‘bhoga’ ( Experince ) or ‘yoga’ Self Realisation is not achieved .

SELF Realisation is an act of sublimation and transmutation of parochial-ego into Universal SELF Consciousness, and it depends on the efforts of seeker of Reality made under the guidance of a Sadh Guru who is endowed with the power of transmission of ‘Pranahuti’ the Divine Cosmic Will of the Creator. Mere self efforts of ego oriented mind cannot achieve the Self Realisation, which needs the annihilation of micro-impressions the ego’s form. (5) Extracts from Swamiji’s Diary: - Date-31-01-1975 (Ref: Book of Knowledge Divine- Pub. IUSCM – 2001)

‘’Felt transmission and good absorption. During meditation felt yellow flames burning from a metal pan. Felt pleased and happy with good, devotional bent and attitude of the Mind; looked to me like a dear child, ignorantly, and innocently craving for non-existent ephemeral objects and way of life. Though this dear child mind, behaved stubbornly sticking to

(3) Letter from the Saint Kasturiji - Lakhimpur- Dated, 14-10-1949 Revered Babuji, Sadar Pranam Received your kind letters sent through Master Saheb. You have written, In my opinion you have completed the journey of the ‘Heart Chakra’ and the journey of the ‘Soul- Chakra‘ is imminent. But Shri Babuji, you know, that one crazy girl is chasing you who is ignorant of every thing. She, who has learned only two words ‘Move, Onwards’ due to the preaching imparted by her father, and who has no time and intellect that she may be capable of understanding about the Chakras and ‘ Pind desh’. Now the condition ‘of like that of a dead person’ has again revived, and I feel lifelessness within me. I look like a corpse totally, when I do meditation or when I lie down. Otherwise I feel unattached and calmness in my heart throughout the day. You have written about the remembrance of the Master. Please do not worry about that. Till I have even a little control, I will try not to pass even a single moment without ‘His’ remembrance either by changing the form or by supposing. There is such thing that when I only suppose, neither I feel peace and rest without remembering the ‘Form’ nor I believe that I have remembered the Master. But, these days I recollect ‘Master’ somehow, as much as I can if not wholly than a little. The condition of forgetfulness is still enough present. You have written about Mataji quite true, that she could not acquire that condition, which she achieved by departing before you. The condition of blankness (emptiness) and lightness always persists and I am having it for so many days. Convey my love to my younger brothers and sisters. Your humble and resource – less daughter, Kasturi ( 4 ) Ref: Ashtavakra Gita : ‘’ Haro Yadya Upadeshtaa Thae

and higher evolute conscious-forms as deities. Arjuna was gladdened of God’s grace of giving the universal perception of creational phenomenon. He was a great warrior, but an ignorant infant of spiritual insight of knowledge; perplexed with the bestowed grace.

A great warrior, or scientist necessarily need not be a yogi oneself as universal consciousness. It is a special field of spiritual mystical dimension that enables one to perceive knowledge, and needs to be cultivated and learnt by yoga meditation with the grace of Samartha Sadh Guru.

Universal SELF Consciousness in its import is Virat Swarupa only that Bhagavan Sri. Krishna could give to only few; even that could not be retained by those receivers as, it was just an ephemeral transcendental experience and got lost after coming back to normal waking consciousness.

Where as the Institute of Universal SELF consciousness Movement (IUSCM) trains people to be in THAT mystical state of consciousness permanently as Sahaja - Samadhi, by sublimating and trans-mutating the normal waking state of consciousness into Universal SELF by yoga meditation. You are Welcome Swamiji

Special Feature Column Babuji Maharaj’s letter No. 843/ dated 29-1-1954, to Elder Preceptor late N. Sri. Kumara Swami Garu. My dear brother, Your affectionate letter DT. 22-1-1954 to hand. You should not be disgusted but wait for another opportunity. You please stick to your abhyas patiently then you will surely taste the nectar of real life. I am at your service and I am as a duty bound to help

you. We are busy in arranging the function so I will reply your letter in detail later on. With best wishes, Affectionately yours, Sd / xx xx xx (RAM CHANDRA) (2) Letter Number: 918 / Dated:1-7-1954 To Sri. N. Kumaraswamy My dear brother, I had been on a fortnight tour to several places till 19-6-1954. Your letter reached here during my absence. I got it on my return. Your earnest craving for spiritual uplift is a very encouraging feature of your spiritual life. Reverses, of course, there are at times. But one must march on like a brave soldier unaffected by interruptions and reverses. These are the thorny bushes in our path. They melt away if we proceed on with will, faith, and confidence. You are steadily progressing; no doubt, slowly however it may be, due to Unfavourable circumstances. But never mind these difficulties. They can be easily surmounted by dint of earnest craving and sincere effort. Personal contact shall no doubt be greatly be helpful, but so long as it is not possible, we must utilise to our best advantage all other available means ( contact through letters being one of them ). You should go on with your routine Abhyas and try to note your condition. You may continue the Pranayam exercise as advised by the Swami whom you met. It shall be helpful in cleaning the nervous system and moulding the mind to some extent. Meditation exercise also leads us internally to it but this pranayam exercise may be an external and additional help. The new book, ‘Reality at Dawn’ has not been out of press as yet, although the printing except that of the cover page is complete. The press had for some time past been busy in publishing the school books for the year. Our book is expected to be out in about a month. The price shall be Rs-8/- only (almost one half of the cost price) with a view to give it a wide circulation.

(1) By Audi Guru Mahatma Sri. Lalaji Maharaj: Sure Ways for God Realisation In my opinion, it is good if:

• Only Japa of the heart (meditation) is done. • The heart is kept clear without being influenced by

non-believers, bad company and impure people. • Our attention is not diverted to anyone except God. • There is determination to always keep the heart alert,

and one-pointed. • Devotion and love be developed towards Truth and the

Master. • One completely effaces and gets merged in Him. And

One loses identity by this action. • This is the shortest and the surest way to reach the

Real Goal. (Ref: - The Complete Works of Ram Chandra ( Lalaji Maharaj ) Vol.2- Pub. SRCM P. 221). (2) By Samartha Sadh Guru Sri. Ramachandra Maharaj ( Sri. Babuji Maharaj ) ‘’ Nature now requires change, a thorough overhauling, and for this purpose, a special personality has already come into existence and has been at work for about two and half years. The great sages of today with highest standing in spirituality, little known to the world in general, are working under his directions. Still more, individuals are being prepared for the task ahead. Those who have eyes and vision may see and realise his working and its effect. The task ahead is of a very important nature, and ‘Change’ will be the result.’’ (Ref: ‘Efficacy of Raja Yoga’ P. 37, pub. SRCM, Shahjahanpur , U.P. , India )

Swamiji and Ashram Mata thank you and your family members for arranging Satsangh at your residence on 18th October and the great hospitality extended to them and other people who came to participate in the Divine Assembly of Cosmic Plan of universal SELF Consciousness.

Swamiji has initiated you in to Dhyana Yoga as practiced at IUSCM Ashrams. Do meditation regularly morning and evening at the time indicated to Swamiji. You would experience err-long Samadhi, the identification and merging of Ego, the personal identity, with Atman, the God seated in your heart. You are welcome to get clarification from Swamiji any doubts and problems faced during your yoga practice. Another point to be stressed is the recording of your experience as a diary-note every day after the meditation is over. This is essential to gauge the progress on the path of God Realisation. You are advised to send a summary note to Swamiji, how you felt after the meditation especially the psychological indicators in your life perception, with yourself, and with others outside. Advise all others who have participated in the Sathsangh gathering, to do meditation of IUSCM Ashram, which is unique and simple because of ''Pranahuti'', life Force, an emanating Will Power (Sankalpa Shakti) from Cosmic - Mind of Ishwara, the God, known as ''Hiranya Garbha''. You could help other such Aspirants in this pious Divine act. Swamiji would like to hear from you on this suggestion. With Masters Blessings to you and all members in the family.

Sorry for the delay in up dating IUSCM- HQ,Ashram News for last week. On last Sunday (9/13/09), attended to meditation at Ashram. Meditation was flowed by reading the book" Va revarente" By Pujya Kasthuri Chaturvedi .Sri Shankar Rao & Shri Shyam Prasad could not attend due to personal reasons. I found good transmission & felt upward body expansion during meditation. Met Chi. Hari's second brother-in-law and sisters at Ashram.

Cause of spreading the Cosmic Message of UNIVERSL SELF CONSCIOUSNESS for which you are the chosen instruments by My Master. Swamiji would like that those who were initiated during the visit, need to be followed up by keeping in-touch, persuading them to do meditation daily at the time indicated by them to swamiji to reap full benefits of initiation. This action is particularly needed with regards to Senior - Citizen Association where Swamiji has conducted meditation session. The visit to Melbourne was rewarding for the cause of IUSCM. The gathering at Norma Budenski’s house was well attended. She gave generous hospitality to Swamiji and to people who attended the meeting. Norma was initiated in meditation with full instructions as to how to conduct meditation with Pranahuti. Swamiji has indirectly suggested personally, and in today's letter of thanks to her, to decide about serving the Divine Cause. Asish is advised to peruse her in this matter. With Master's Blessings Your Own SELF Swamiji From: Robert Becker To: Swamji Dear Sri Swamiji May we propose Sunday 8th November for your visit to Kookaburra Creek. Perhaps at 10:00AM if this suits you. We would have liked to have held this earlier but have commitments each weekend till then. I would of course be happy to pick you up and drop you back home if required. with kind regards Robert and Mandy From: Robert Becker To: Swamji Dear Sri Swamiji Pranaams and prostrations

My heartfelt thanks for your kind darshan last evening. I know not why my heart brims with joy after some time in your presence. Being guided by your good self in meditation makes the morning practice sublime. Also kind thanks for the excellent volume of essays which I will study with interest and devotion.

As discussed with you I will set a date for a gathering at Kookaburra Creek and inform you as early as possible with prem and om Robert From: Sneh Datt Pujiniye swamiji,

I am delighted that you have bestowed me the honour of the award. My vocabulary is not good to thank you enough.

The answers you have given, I have read them couple of times to fully grasp the meaning. This kind of explanation has never been given to me before. I seek your permission to explain this to my husband and children as well.

"If the Atma has moved on from point A to B how does it benefit from the rituals" I am sorry I did not say this in a very clear manner, my humble apologies. What I meant was the atma being removed from the body and being in another place. Your answer has satisfied my question though. Thanks and regards Sneh From: Robert Becker Dear Shri.

Anirudh has been discharged from hospital and he is quite well with masters grace.

I had a small query regarding yoga and meditation, despite its positive effects people Are developing a kind of negative feeling towards it. In continuation of my discussion, I am very eager to bring to your notice about A psychiatric patient .This patient was admitted in the same hospital where Anirudh was admitted for his nose surgery. He[that patient] was admitted because of psychiatric illness

Father's name: Professor Walter Becker As requested I will forward a report to Sri Govinda Sami at the following address govindnaga@hotmail.com by the 10th of the month with warm regards Robert From: Swamiji To: Rohit Chillapa Dtd: 30-9-09 Dear Rohit Ashirwad

The comments regarding the strange behaviour of a person at the Hospital that you have observed is on line given by an observer from USA. Yoga should not be confused with mental abnormalities, only because he talks the words yoga or as a matter of fact by any outsider may be a Nurse or a Doctor. The practice of yoga would never derange the mind. On the other hand it develops Creative Intelligence in the person who practices yoga meditation correctly under the guidance of a capable Guru who is a Master in methods, techniques and goal out-come of the yoga process. It is true that misguided yoga practice would lead to mental aberration. Most of the yoga methods are based on deferent versions of classical Patanjali Yoga and incomplete understanding in tampering the Patanjali yoga would do more harm. And you have mental deranged cases instead of fulfilled yoga. Sahaja marga Raja Yoga as taught in our Ashram is very safe and harm less. The Preceptors who are appointed as trainees are properly trained under the guidance of experienced senior executives of the IUSCM Ashram. you should not generalise the comments made by some ill-informed Nurse in a Hospital who is a lay-person in yoga art and Science. With Master’s Blessings Swmiji

heart and your attention is drawn towards it. And, the process leads you to transcend mind in to godly consciousness of SELF Realisation. Point ( B) is the anatomical surface location and is indicated to clean the Sanskaras, the micro-impressions of day to day life activities from the causal body.

(7) Regarding the question of ‘’ Seeing ‘’ ones body as “’ Skelton’’ is a highly advanced stage of yoga process, where the yogi completely get detached with Astral – psych layers of personality and looks at the body- mind complex as if an ‘’on-looker’’. It has nothing to do with as a tool of detecting and attending the problems of physical body.

(8) You can sit for meditation in any pose which is convenient and comfortable to relax, without giving any pain to the body. ‘’Sthiram, Sukham Aasanam’’. And, the pain would disappear err-long.

(9) Those who perform Meditation as indicated in our Ashram regularly, they go beyond the obligatory need of ritual ceremonies after the death as indicated in Shastras; for himself such a yogi is beyond the obligation of all ritual ceremonies during or after the death. But then, his sons and daughters may respect the traditional cultural- ethos and do the ceremonies, which is a different matter.

Swamiji From: Swamji To: Dr.Gopala Krishna Rao, Sep 29, 2009 Dear Prof. Dr. Gopala Krishna Rao Ashirwad Thank you for the prayers for the well - being of Swamiji and Ahram Mata, and for Ashram news.

sending a Monthly Progress Report by 10th of every month by marking a copy to Swamiji at HQ. Hyderabad. This directive is obligatory on all. With Masters Blessings Your OWN SELF Swamiji From: Jyotsna Vodela Dear Swamiji, Namaskar!!!

I'm not aware of his current condition, but this behaviour indicates a social abnormality. It can be compared to similar conditions that occur when one indulges in uncontrolled reading, love etc and become psychic; thus leading to excessive talking, thinking and doing things related to specific fields/subjects, and become dangerous and troublesome to the society/family. A few abnormal instances do not, by any means, ascertain that those fields/subjects are alone the cause for psychic behaviour. A yogic disciple should never get distracted by such sporadic incidents and lose focus on his ultimate goal. Always at your feet, Best Regards, Jyotsna From: Sneh Datt Pujniye Swamiji, Namaste I went to see Govindji yesterday with my daughter-in-law Shalini. Both of us were very happy to sit in the meditation and enjoyed the information provided for a beginner. It was a first visit for Shalini. We will send through a photo of her very soon and would be obliged if you can initiate her when you visit Sydney .

I also wanted to request some information on what happens to the atma when we die? Are the people who committed suicide caught in transit somewhere and for how long? In Hinduism we have so many rituals that are performed

Page 14 of 28

after someone dies. If the atma has moved on from point A to B how does it benefit from the rituals? Are all these rituals in vain? From your “Book of Divine Knowledge” (took me some to understand) you have explained how the Atma is separate from the body and experience with seeing the skeleton i.e. body. If this is the case can we see where the body has got a problem and attend to issues in a timely manner? I have been experiencing pain in my shoulders which is probably due to sitting incorrectly in front of a computer whole day for a long time. The pain also bothers me when I sit in mediation. I sit cross legged on the floor facing east. I sometime feel jabs of pain behind my neck whilst mediating. Is this something due to incorrect posture as well? I hope to hear from you soon. Regards Sneha Swamiji’s Reply Dear sister Sneha Ashirwad. Regarding the question what happens to Atman ( Soul ) after death following is the clarification.

(1) The physical body may die for various reasons when ‘’ Prarabdha- Karma’’ is exhausted.

(2) ( 2 ) Karma is of three types viz: ( a ) ‘’ Prarabdha Karma, (b ) Aagami Karma, and (c ) sanchita Karma.

a. Prarabdha Karma is one which has already been released for experience ( Bhoga ) in the Man’s life of Hundred years allotted to Man-Kind by Bhagavan.

b. Aagami karma is the one that is awaited to be released in next life of the being.

c. Sanchita karma is the one that is accumulated to the account, life after life stored awaiting to be released in future births.

(3) The Aatman ( Soul ) is eternal; it is never born and so never dies. It is analogues to Para Brahman having

Page 15 of 28

reference to the body - physical, or astral, or causal bodies. Then death is in reference to ‘’ Jeevatma, the particularised identity of Parabrahman or Aatman with reference to above cited bodies due to ignorance i.e. Avidya.

(4) It is immaterial how a person dies, whether natural death or willing death committed by suicide, the process of transmigration laws applicable are the same. When a person dies the Soul or Aatman as Jeeva in Pretha- Shareera called as ‘’Yatana Shareera’’ hovers for ten days at the site and place of the death. It is expected that sons and daughters perform Shradha- Rites as prescribed by the shastras of the religion and that gives the dead pretha a new ethereal encasement body called as ‘’Ativahika-Shareera’’ which enables the dead person to go on further evolution to subtle Astral worlds the lookas of heaven or hell according to the Punya Karma , the meritorious deeds. It takes about 48 minutes ( Mohurta Kala ) for the Jeeva to be taken soon after the death to Yama-looka to meet the death god and return back to the place of death to hover for 10- to 13 days to be awaited to receive the ‘’ Ati-Vahikas Shareera’’ by the performance of Shardha-Pinda Karms by the relatives that enables the dead person to go further on trans- migration evolution on consciousness plane.

(5) Evidently the death ceremonial rites have a place in transmigration cycle on conscious evolution cycle. Or else the transmigration cycle is incomplete. The sons and relatives have an obligation to the dead person to help to go on conscious evolution without interruption.

(6) Regarding the question moving from point (A ) to point (B) you have confused about them. In Sahaja Marga yoga meditation is prescribed on these two points for altogether different purpose. During meditation, Point ( A ) is indicated for drawing the attention of the mind with the assumption that Divine Light is glowing in the
