I am offering all these three books (Volume-I,

Volume-II & Volume-3) to the lotus feet of my
respected father like beloved Gurudev, Avdhoot
Baba Shivanandji (Babaji) along with Gurumaa.
Only motivation of these books are to share
ShivYog Shivir Teachings ( few drops of knowledge
from the endless ocean of Ancient Wisdom of old
India ), with my Shivyogi Gurubhai & Gurubhaginies
i.e. disciples of Babaji. All these motivational life
changing simple knowledge were told by Babaji &
Ishanji in various old Shivirs. After returning back to
home, as day by day passes, disciples, begin to
forget most valuable teachings of their Guru. So, the
words of these books will help them to regain those
past teachings and can be able to be more Aware
and also can be able to Recheck Own Action-
Reaction towards different situations of Life-Events.
Thus a True Disciple will always remain
connected with his/her Guru’s Teachings through
these words of these Books. As many times they
read this, everytime, a new aspect, a new meaning,
will appear in mind, with ability to find own mistakes
& also will find the appropriate solutions to rectify.
Namah Shivay,

 All These three books ( Guru Bakyam Param Bakyam (Vol-I), (Vol-II ) & (Vol-III) )
are made  1) as a Life Time Printed Hardcopy Book of Babaji’s Precious Teachings
of ShivYog Shivirs; 2) only for the dedicated serious true Shivyogy disciples & 3) not
for casually reading in mobile as softcopy eBook for just timepass.
 All these three PDFs are made as absolutely Free Gift for the dedicated Shivyogy
disciple of Babaji. Thus, make your own Printed copy by yourself & they would
become like Three-Maha-Granth as your Life-Time-Assets. ShivYog “Kisan Shivir”,
“Durga Saptashati”, “Saraswati Deeksha”… shivirs are absolutely Free Gift from
Babaji. So, those who will attend those shivirs, never ever pay a single ` to anybody
for attending those shivirs. However price of Divine Items of ShivYog Ashram may
have to pay by only those who will buy any divine item completely on their own
will. Similarly, if anybody would print these books and try to sell them to you,
never ever buy those. If anybody would do that, that means that Greedy Unethical
person do not have any Principle in Life, any such Ethics in Inner-Mind, nor have
a little bit Humanity. That means, he/she/they definitely not Shivyogy but most
Greedy Businessman, who just want to earn money by anymean.
 I think, reading contents together in one place, in an organised manner and also in a
decorated way, is much better than  searching contents from different places and
then read from those searching result, everytime... My only intention is to provide
you these mostly unchanged information together in one place. I never mention my
name, anywhere in all these three books. It’s just a Selfless Serving (seva, as per my
own way & own will) for all Dedicated True Shivyogi Disciples of Babaji.
 All these contents are taken from original websites, fbPages, blogsites… etc. which
were posted as public i.e. global. Hence, further coping & editing & using any
portion of these contents for personal purpose  may be just like unethical activity,
which I think, any true Shivyogy will never ever do in their whole life.
GRATITUDE :
Namah Shivay, just like Vol-I & Vol-II, this book is also
containing most valuable Shivyog-Teachings of Babaji, those are
collected here, after searching from the actual web-sources (like
various websites, blogs, PDFs etc.) & presented in a well decorated
manner. So my effort is in collecting, editing, organizing & over all
decorating. But these "Ancient-Divine-Wisdom" is reaching to you
because of those "Sadhaks & Sadhikas", who attend those old
Shivirs, wrote these Articles, published & shared them in web,
thinking of other "Disciples of Babaji" i.e. "Real-Seekers of Old-but-
Ever-Green, Indian-Ancient-Divine-Wisdom". Thanks to all of them
from the "Core of my Heart" & "Cordial Salutation" to their
"Determination", "Steadiness", "Strong Will Power", "Love for other
Disciple" … along with "Real Hard Works". Special Thanks for all
those precious gems like messages, which were initially, posted on
facebook-Pages  “ShivYog Wisdom” & “Ishan Shivanand”.
This book is also made as a "Divine Gift" for only "Serious &
Dedicated Disciples" of "Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand Ji (Babaji)". So, think
many many times & Never ever Gift it to such a person, who may
have any disrespect towards "Ancient Divine Wisdom” or “Shivyog-
Philosophy". Because, it’s not just a simple ordinary Book, but "the
Energy-Flow of Universal Ancient Divine Wisdom" from "Shivyog
Siddha Guru Mandala" towards "a True Seeker, within the form of
Dedicated Disciple," through his/her beloved Gurudev, “Babaji".

Awareness :
“Babaji ki kripaa se jo bhajan aur meditation mujhe milaa hay, wo
prasaad hay, mere liye. Aur prasaad ko baat ke khaane me bahut majaa aataa
hay.”  Ehi baat, bahat sare sadhoko ko bolte huye sunaa hay maine. Aachchhi
baat hay ye. Bahat aachchhi baat hay. Lekin, ek sad-shishya wo, jo Guru ki har
aagyaa ko sadaa dhyaan me raakh ke hi har kaam kartaa hay. Jab Guru khud hi
maanaa kar rahe ho, tab agar koyi shishya usse bilkul unshunaa karke, sref
aapnaa hi mann-maani kar rahe hote hay --- to wo, sad-shishya to keya, ek
simple shishya kehlaane ki bhi laayek nehi hote hay. Kayi tariko se bolne yaa
samjhaane ke baad bhi kayi saare sadhak har roj, Babaji ka bhajan aur secret
ShivYog meditation ko YouTube, MediaFire yaa aur koyi internet media par
publicly, Globally upload kar rahe hay. Aur khullaa chance de rahe hay  kuch
galat logo ko, unnka galat tarike se isstemaal karke, phaaydaa lootne ka.
Guru aur Shishya ke bich ek prem aur biswaas kaa atut ristaa honaa
chaahiye. Jeyse haam ghar ki Lakshmi ko kabhi bhi saare baazaar publicly
display nehi karte --- ki, “Bhaai-logo, job bhi dekhnaa chaaho dekh lo, Bhagwan
ki kripaa se ye sundar saa Lakshmi mujhe milaa hay. Aayo bhaai, tum bhi dekh
lo. Jo aanand mujhe mil raahaa hay, wo tumhe bhi mile.” Uncondition wala
Love bahat aachchhi baat hay, lekin usska itnaa overdose aachchhaa nehi hay.
Guru se milaa secret Gyaan, Guru se milaa secrete Life Changing
Dhyaan aur Guru se milaa secrete Jaagrit Guru Mantra ko publicly, publicly
distribute nehi karnaa chaahiye, kabhi bhi. Wo aanmol ratna hote hay. Unnhe
aapne hriday ki teejori me samhaal ke raakhnaa chaahiye. Wo sref aur sref
tumhaari hay. Tum ne divyataa ki pukaar shuni, uss ko maan diyaa, registration
kiyaa, shivir attend kiyaa, to tumhe wo divine meditation milaa, Gyaan milaa,
Deeksha milaa, Khushi mili. Kisi aur ko agar baataanaa hi chahte ho to iss
divyataa ka madhurtaa ke baare me baataao. Guru ki mahaantaa ki baare me
baataao. Unnhe distribute karne ka keya jarurat hay? Tum eligible ho, iss liye
tumhe milaa. Jab wo eligible honge, to unhe bhi milegaa. Babaji ka bhajan sref
ek simple gaana nehi hay, unnme Healing Shakti hote hay jo shishya ki andar
kaa Deeksha se praapt huyi Shakti Beej ko pusht kartaa hay. Iss liye, ussko
shunne me jo aanand ek shivyogi ko aataa hay, wo aur kisi ko nehi aane wala.
Beyse tumhe dene ke liye kon maanaa kar raaha hay? Kon tumhe
selfish hone ke liye bol raahaa hay? Eysaa thori hotaa hay ki, ek parivaar ka ek
sadasya agar baad me deeksha lete hay to unnhe alag se kharidnaa paregaa.
Agar wo unn particular meditation ka deeksha le liya ho, to tum unhe de saakte
ho jarur. Kiu ki aab wo eligible ho gaye hay. Par privately do, eyse publicly nehi.
 Bahat saare bichitra praani iss India me hay, jisski mann ki shakti se
tum prabhabit ho rahe ho aur eysaa kar rahe ho. Guru se jur jaayo aur kabhi bhi
durbal mat bano. Sabse khatarnaak hay kuch Kaalaa Jaadu ke Tuk-Taak Bhelki
dikhaane waale Black Magicians. Wo kuchh Greedy minded ex-shivyogi ko
kuchh extra power dene ki lobh dikhaa kar unhe bash kar lete hay aur unnke
pet (yaani paaltu pashu) banaa lete hay. Wo pet-log bar bar tumse bhajan aur
meditation maangte rehte hay, unnke nayi Guru ko supply karne ke liye. Eyse hi
dusraa hay kuchh Energy Vampires. Wo aur bhi khatarnaak hote hay. Wo tumhe
lobh dikhaate hay, kuch extra hi-powerful vidya sikhaane ka. Agar tumhaari
mann me lobh aayi aur tum deekshaa lene chale geye to wo tumse, tumhare
Guru se milaa Shakti Beej ko khich lete hay. Tum aanjaan rehte ho. Phir tum
sadhana karte rehte ho aur tumhe kuch bhi praapt nehi hotaa. Keyse hoga, jab
Shakti Beej hi nehi raahaa, to wo tumhaari ichchhaa ko puri karne wala phaldaar
briksh keyse banegaa? Kuch discuss agar karnaa hay to tumhaare unn Gurubhai
ya Gurubhagini se karo, jinhe wo particular deekshaa tumhare hi Guruse praapt
huye hay. Kisi bhi aur Mahaan Gyaani se isske baare me charchaa mat karnaa.
Tisra bichitra praani hay Kaliyug ka suputra, Copycat Guruji. Jab bhi
koyi popular hote hay, to unkaa bhakt-looting business chaalu ho jaataa hay. It’s
a habitual regular process, in India. Several self declared Rajarshi, Maharshi,
Brahmarshi …… aur bhi bahat saare degree hote hay unnke. Achaanak hi kahaa
kahaa se utpann ho jaate hay inn sabhi Gyaani Mahaatmaa. Wo har shivir me
nayi sadhak ko target karke unnse meditation prosess, Gyaan, Bhajan maang
lete hay. Kuchh ShivYog se, kuchh idhaar se, kuchh udhaar se le kar, ek khichri-
dhyaan creates karte hay. Nayi logo ko kuchh bhi paataa nehi chaltaa. 400 saal
ke gulaami ke kaaran, kuchh andh-bishwasi Indian taiyaar hi rehte hay --- “aayo
ji kripa karke mujhe loot lo, main kab se mere til til karke sanchit kiya huya dhan
le kar, aapkaa raah dikh rahi hu.” Phir cheat hone ke baad, aapne santaan ko
bolenge, “chaahe kuch bhi karo, yeh Baba logo ke pass nehi jaanaa. Wo saare
cheater hote hay.” Tumhe kuch praapt hone ki ichchhaa hay. Par mann me lobh
hay agar to connection cheater Guruji se hi hogi. Agar bhaav suddha hay to
connection sad-Guru se hi hogi. Kaaran  Same Energy, attracts Same Energy.
Internet se “ShivYog Shivir Teachings” search karte samay, maine sref
kuchh hi, YouTube video dekhaa. Koyi “Art of Dying” sikhaa raahe hay. Jab
Prabochan shunaa to laagaa ki Babaji ka kurukshetra shivir hi jeyse shun raahaa
hu. Koyi Babaji ka “Om Hrom Jum Saa”-CD play karke, khud ka healing sikhaa
rahe hay aur sabhi gehre dhyan me hay. Saabhi Saint, Monk eyse nehi hote
hay. Aapne Sadhan-maarg me, more than 70% fully Pure & Tejomay hote hay.
Par innke aash paash hi, kaliyug ke suputra bhi hote hay. Eysaa kabhi nehi hay
ki -- “ShivYog me aa to sakte ho, par jaa nehi saakte”. Sachche Yogi Saint ko
pranam koro, aashirwad lo. Jinhe Rab mil geya ho, unn ke pass itnaa hay ki, wo
tumse kuchh nehi lenge. Lene ki koyi jarurat hi nehi. Paakhandiyo ke pass kiu
jaate ho? Par aakhir inn saare Paakhandiyo ko eysaa karne ka kaaran keya hay?
Ek hi kaaran hay ki  aapne me itnaa dam nehi hay ki, tapasyaa karke divya
shakti ki unn uchaayi ko praapt kiya jaaye. To upaay? Byaas, kisi aur tejomay
Guru ke greedy disciple ko dhundo, lobh dikhaao, aur unnse Guru ki di huyi
shakti-beej ko, deeksha dene ki bahaane chhin lo. Jyadaa lobhi niklaa to apnaa
paaltu baanaa lo. Tab wo khud hi, usskaa aur saathiyo ko behlaa-phusslaa kar
le aayegaa. Eyse hi inn paakhandiyo ko energy aur peysaa, dono hi miltaa hay.
Kuye kaa mendak kaa ehi ek khubi hay ki  jo main jaantaa hu, jo
may maantaa hu, ussko chhor ke, iss duniya me aur kuchh ho hi nehi ho
saakta. Kuch Logic Mind Active log, mere kahi huyi ek bhi baato ko kabhi nehi
maanenge. Koyi baat nehi. Maanaa naa-maanaa unke aapne private matter hay.

 Goa Shivir May 2014 (Hindi)
Day 1
Namah Shivay! To the uninitiated, there were just chantings by sadhaks this evening
on the first day of the Goa Shivir. However, a pure sadhak would have seen Babaji
sitting on his sacred seat of divinity on the stage, even though his presence was subtle.
But, by the end of the Shivir in a week, even the uninitiated people will understand
the leela of the Guru. Babaji knows what is best for the disciples and he operates of his
own sweet divine will. And so, it occurred to Babaji that he must first establish the
connection with divinity, heal those chanting in the hall so that they direct themselves
towards the correct start.
So, the first day of “Art of Self Realisation and Kundalini Sadhana Shivir” turned
out to be an orientation where the auspiciousness within the sadhaks reigned
supreme. Therefore, after the Swadhyay and sundry ShivYog bhajans on CDs, a few
talented young guns seized the opportunity to showcase their singing prowess on
stage, in sync with the musicians. The audience received all the performances with a
big round of applause.
On a lighter note, not all performers were young. An aged sadhak too presented his
rendition of a Sita Ram bhakti geet. But in ShivYog if we are young at heart, we hail
ourselves too as young guns. Kudos to the performers of today. All are blessed souls.
And those listening to them got to witness even more blessings, as they too sang along
with them.
How happy would’ve been Babaji subtly seeing every single event.

Q. Message keya tha Guruji ka?

A. Namah Shivay ji, the subtle message was  not to run after the physical body of
the Guru. He is omnipresent and if we cannot see Him, it doesn't mean he's not
witnessing all our actions.

Q. Among the many reasons, why you should raise your consciousness? is that you need to
improve?
A. A person whose Kundalini Shakti or the consciousness has not risen will feel that
everything about him is perfect. He will not even realize where he is going wrong in
life. It will be his view that all is perfect about him and there is no scope of
improvement.
On this, Babaji said, “It is only after purifying yourself through the good habits of
regular Sadhana, devotional Sankirtan and Nishkaam seva that you can raise your
consciousness. Before raising the consciousness, it seems to the person that all is well.
All the bad habits are fine. But remember that evolution and change in personality can
occur only once you know where you are going wrong. And most of the times we
think that we are always right.
This is a sign that we need to raise our vibrations, a sign that we will not reach a
spiritual Goal in this life. A sign that we need to make a lot of effort to first know what
is wrong and what is right. Because a solution can be worked out only when one
knows the problem. Answers hold value only when there are questions. Thus, in order
to first know where you exactly you need to change your attitude, your behavior, your
habits, your time-table, your eating routine, your Sadhana, seva and sankirtan
schedule, you need to raise your consciousness.”

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 11

 
 
Day 2
Namah Shivay! Hinting at a prospective future ShivYog Healer’s University, which
would have degree and diploma courses for the purest of souls just like an academic
varsity, Babaji kicked off the Goa Shivir by laying a new kind of emphasis on the
million dollar primary question of “Tum Chahte Keya Ho”.
The Shivir has begun on an excellent note. And if Babaji’s kind healings are anything
to go by, by the end of the Shivir, each one of the attendees will go back as a very very
healthy individual. Because Babaji is healing not only the physical body but also the
emotions, the mind, the soul, the subtle bodies and activating the divine powers in the
petals of the chakras. Some exceedingly powerful meditations are in store, as the first
day has sent all indications pointing to this.
Babaji added a new dimension to his signature question of Tum Chahte Keya Ho,
saying we must be crystal clear about every single expectation from every situation
and action in life. He said, “Before beginning this programme, this time I will urge you
all to write down in the Golden book, Tum is Shivir se chahte keya ho? Do you want
to continue complaining about the pool of misery you find yourself in or do you now
want to bring a fresh and positive change into the scheme of things in your life? First
choose one path and have no doubts after that. Take your time in deciding. If you
want to traverse on the positive path, follow it in totality. After having decided the
positive path, don’t divert to the negative one, giving logic.”
Babaji informed all that he had been in spiritual solitude for all the sadhaks, asking his
Guru, his deity, his own self what would be the best way to explain to the spiritual
seekers, the route to a new path of divinity. And it was just before the Shivir that he
got his answers.
Some of the teachings of today are being shared point-wise below :
General
1. To find the correct answer to the query of Tum Chahte Keya Ho, go deep down
in Sadhana and then do the interrogation. Because at the superficial level, you
may select something which is not for your ultimate good but when you go
deep in dhyan, logic discontinues, the cleverness to manipulate vanishes. Only
the real truth remains.
2. Visualize the effect of your actions. Foresee the result of your words. Know the
repercussions of your karmas.
3. Heal not the disease but the human as a whole. Because a disease is only the
physical aspect of a greater problem, existing at the emotional level, mental
level, karmic level and spiritual level.
4. To release these blockages, the overall detoxification of the body is foremost. At
the physical level, start with the food.
5. Refuse to accept your negativity. Because Babaji says acceptance of troubles is
also a sin. When ShivYog calls for acceptance, it doesn’t mean it should be
interpreted as acceptance of your diseased self, acceptance of your poor
relationships, poor finances, all kinds of troubles etc. Acceptance should be that
of your true self. You have the infinite potential inherent in you.
6. Do not be create psychic impressions of your limitations. Bring in purity. Try to
become better and better every day in every possible way.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 12

 
 
7. Lying or uttering untruth even while joking is a sin. So always stay truthful.
8. Self healing is a move towards self realization. So we must first talk about
immediate goals in life and only then should we approach the higher goals. It is
very easy to talk of moksha when you are in trouble. But real sacrifice is when
you have everything with you and you realize that there is a higher aim to be
achived. The aim of raising the consciousness through Sadhana.
9. You have not taken birth to experience pain, sorrow, misery and troubles. All
these occur when you go against the flow of nature. Every mishap, disease or
unfortunate happening has its root cause in unnatural behavior, emotion or act.
Nature is unconditional love. Anything other than that is bound to nurture the
devil.
10. Write the Golden book every day. Seek a perfect destiny. Channelize your
energy to materialize the goals to achieve this perfect destiny.
11. Do not be lazy and put everything to God. Real effort and toil you will have to
put in. God will only erase the karmic factors responsible for you not getting till
your Goal. You will have to take the first step forward.
12. Surrendering to the Guru is like sending a car for repair. When a car is
damaged, what we do is park it at the repair workshop. Once brought there, we
let the workers repair it as per their knowledge. We do not fiddle in the process
because we know and trust them that they understand the process of the car
repair and maintenance. Likewise, when we surrender to the Guru, we must let
him change us. We must follow his teachings completely. The consciousness of
the Guru has risen. He knows exactly how to repair us. So we must let him do
the job and not interfere by emphasizing on the negativity in life by getting
angry, feeling jealous, guilty, vengeful, attached, greedy and egoistic.
13. The person who waters the emotion of inferiority complex within him develops
a balloon of ego. So never live with a slave like mentality.
14. Do not bring kartabhaav or a miscued sense of doership. You are never ever the
doer. In reality, not even a small particle in this universe moves without the
divine sanction. You have all incarnated to serve a divine purpose, to just
become the medium for divine activities, to evolve by devoting yourself to
Shiva. All the healing powers are within you. What you have to do at your end
is merely surrender and give up the emotion of “I’m doing this”, “I did so much
for so and so”. This I is the devil within you. Do not give manure to the tree of
devil. Follow the path of gratitude and divinity.

Babaji and Gurumaa told on Food Habits & Value of Teetolism for
Spiritual Progress
15. Raise your vibrations through Sadhana to the extent that anything, including
food that comes in your vibrational field or aura becomes purified
automatically.
16. Receive any food item with the intention that the Goddess has served you with
her own energy.
17. Gurumaa added that food is Goddess. The one serving you is God. And you
yourself too are God. So eating food must be an exercise without guilt.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 13

 
 
18. Eat only 1/3rd of your capacity. Of the total three parts of the total capacity of
the stomach, keep one part for food, one part for water and one part for air.
Because your stomach is of the size of your closed fist and you fill it like it is a
one huge tank.
19. Eat slowly. Chew every byte 32 times.
20. Have fixed time for eating and eat less than your capacity as mentioned earlier,
Have smaller meals.
21. A sadhak who wishes to grow in spirituality must strictly stay away from red
meat, beef and pork. All these three have severe negative effect on the energy
level in a body. Since, these three deadly foods emit black energy, they
completely disturb the aura and spiritual energy. The consumption of these
begins the decaying process in the body and in that case the effect of pran
kriyas and Sadhana is nullified.
22. Whoever consumes alcohol, including beer, has no scope of spiritual growth.
Even if you are a brilliant sadhak, worth years of meditation, it will take a
second to erase it all by consuming alcohol. The simplest way to immediately
lower your consciousness level is to drink alcohol.
23. The granthis or knots in the sushumna nadi which Babaji opens on initiation of
the kundalini get immediately closed again on consumption of wine, beer,
whiskey or any alcoholic beverage etc.
24. Being addicted to smoking and intoxication is more dangerous than cancer
because ShivYog says cancer is curable but the same can’t be said about
addiction to substance, smoke and alcohol.
25. All these addictions weaken the defence mechanisms and close the petals of the
chakras. Those who know Siddha scanning and clairvoyance to see the
blockages in seven chakras, will see a massive surge of black energy of
destruction developing inside an individual on consuming alcohol and taking
drugs.
26. As Shivyogis, learn to say no with confidence. No peer pressure. No social
drinking. No alcohol in any condition whatsoever. Not even a single drop.
27. During the course of the Shivir, Ishanji is expected to take sessions on de-
addictions with special meditations, Babaji informed.
28. Man creates habits and then those habits create a man.
Babaji’s Mantra for Success in Your Profession
29. Choose a career, a path, a way, a profession in life, which does not involve any
kind of sin. For example violence, cheating, manipulation etc.
30. Serious seeking of a positive Goal and unbridled greed are two very different
things. You may want to earn name, fame, money and prosperity but do not
end up in a profession where you have to follow the ways of the devil –
jealousy, one-upmanship, violence, vengeance, malice, corruption etc. Choose a
profession which does not encourage animal instincts.
31. Continuing his suggestions for the young and suave ShivYog sadhaks, who he
wants to see shouldering the responsibility of carving out a holistic growth
trajectory for the nation, Babaji said,

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 14

 
 
 a) “Deliver 125% of what you’re paid for in a job. This is the easiest way for
ascension towards prosperity and excellent job environment in the current
job and opening of the gateway to excellent future job opportunities.”
b) “At your work desk or in fact while working anywhere, perform the tasks
with not merely your body. Involve the body, mind and soul. Everything
that you do must have a soul. Everything that you say should have a soul.
When I say that every action of yours should be a holistic karma, I mean
that you undertake only those tasks in which you will devote your body,
mind and soul. Any work done half-heartedly will not lead you to being a
karmayogi, a ShivYogi. It will not contribute in any way to your spiritual
growth. It can only bring it down.”
c) “Add emotions to your actions. It can be a heartfelt greeting, a soulful song
or any action which has the emotion of devotion to it.”
In a major booster shot to the young sadhaks, Babaji said to one of them,
who was on the mic and had enquired about the propriety and correctness
of his decision to study for Civil Services (IAS) exams, Babaji gave a
cheerful thumbs-up. He said the country needs holy souls like Shivyogis to
run its administration. It’s a divine period and the most appropriate time
that steadfast and honest youth, deriving their inspiration through Sadhana
take over the control of the country’s day-to-day functioning.

Day 3
Namah Shivay! As a Spiritual Scientist, Babaji has reported through meditative
observations that the Pineal Gland, about which medical science is yet to find
anything concrete, is seeing a rapid deposition of calcium, leading to its calcification.
This has led to the overall decline of the modern day man.
The Pineal Gland is the highest centre of spiritual doorway in our physical body. It
controls the level of tolerance, the behviour, the level of discipline, physical health,
emotional health, rhythm of the body and overall functioning of the endocrine system.
The decadent and pathetic lifestyle of the contemporary times as also the view of the
medical science that we can afford to ignore this gland has killed the emphasis on the
activation of the Pineal gland, which corresponds to the Agya chakra in the forehead.
This explains the rapid decline of moral values and disinterest in improving one’s own
self through meditation.
Such interesting spiritual diagnosis formed the third day of the Goa Shivir.
Over the course of the last few years, Babaji had made it a habit to give healing energy
in a controlled and regulated way, even in Shree Vidya shivirs, so that it does not
become difficult for the sadhaks to digest so much energy. But, the old timers will
agree on this that the kind of exceptionally uncontrolled and excessively powerful
healing being performed here in Goa by Babaji reminds one of the good old days of
the vintage ShivYog healing shivirs of Rishikesh.
Babaji has himself admitted that the energy that he is dispensing this time is ruthless.
It will burn karmas very strongly. The effect of the divinity is such that during the
meditations the level of peace and karma release reaches a point where there is a
continuous flow of valium secretion from the pineal gland. Almost everyone has
reported such tranquility and peace of mind that even during meditations, one feels
like falling in an infinitely long sleep.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 15

 
 
Babaji though has said that this is the real stupor which Lord Shiva is known to be in.
People think that Lord Bhairon, an avtar of Lord Shiva consumes alcohol to stay in a
state of drunkenness. But this “high” is not one caused by drinking alcohol as believed
in popular religious folklore. It is caused by a deep state of peace and tranquility,
currently being felt by all the sadhaks in Goa. Try talking to any one and you will
know more.
Day three of the “Art of Self Realisation and Kundalini Sadhana Shivir” or in simpler
terms, Goa Shivir, was one where patriotism was the flavour of the day. But this
patriotism was not the one which involves the usual lectures about culture, history,
independence, life sacrifices, national pride etc. Rather it was something never heard
before. The following write up will put in a nutshell all the teachings of the day under
their corresponding headings. Let us start with spiritual patriotism.

Babaji on Spiritual Patriotism

1. Every place of residence has four entities which one is indebted to. These are :
a) The Mother Earth, on which the ingredients of the food we consume grow.
Without the fertility of the Mother Earth, there won’t be any life since
there would’ve been nothing to eat.
b) The Sthaan Devta (Demi-God of the particular location of residence)
c) Graam devta (Demi-God of the district/village, larger area where the
residence lies)
d) Kshetrapal (Demi-God of the entire region in which the residence is. For
example Kal Bhairav is the Kshetrapal of the city Varanasi in Uttar
Pradesh)
Every human being, living under a roof is answerable to these four. He is
indebted karmically to these four.

The fulfillment of each of the above four entities can be done by these
ways:
1) To pay back Mother Earth, respect all living and non-living beings of
nature. Crae for them, feed them, keep them clean etc.
2) Keep the residents of your house very happy. Love them, accept them and
forgive them. Create a very positive atmosphere at your home. Doing
merely this will ascend the Sthaan devta, paying back its debt.
3) Graam devta can be pacified by working for the welfare of your state/city
in any manner.
4) The debt of the Kshetrapal can be paid back by loving your community,
your country, your countrymen.
2. Richness is not limited to only the quality of being materialistically rich. To
measure the richness of a family, a society, a community or a nation, just
witness how happy or unhappy are the people of that family, society,
community or nation.
3. As a people of this holy land, we have developed a tendency to appoint a
government and leave the rest for it to manage. To quote Babaji, “As
individuals, we all are possible instruments and tools in the machinery of the
nation. We must do our bit for the upliftment of the country. Governance is not
something outside, to be performed by only those ruling the country.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 16

 
 
 Governance is something we have to undertake in every possible way at our
end. Don’t be a parasite or mute spectator to the development. Governance is
not about welfare schemes, it is about how much responsibility you are willing
to take to work for the betterment of the land which has given birth to you.”
4. Come out of your comfort zone. Do not harbor an attitude which believes in the
motto that everything that is wrong with the nation, with the people, with the
society is because of someone other than you. Ask yourself, what has been your
contribution to remedy the situation. Because complaining and fault finding is
very easy. What is constructive is the individual contribution to eradicate social
ills such as poverty and illiteracy.
5. A ShivYogi will always have the win-win attitude towards all. That means in
any situation, may he also emerge a winner and others too taste victory. No one
is left crying. Everyone goes home happy.
6. Little sacrifices on an individual level can help carve a grand future for the
nation.
7. Don’t cry over the fact that there is lack of opportunities in your country. Create
the opportunity by being the best. And the first step to succeeding in being the
best is to harmonize your energy. All successful people have their energy
focused in their field of work. There is no conflict of thoughts about the surety
of success. They do not believe in pre-conceived notions. They do not think
about failure. They give their best and discount the factors which a loser states
to justify his defeat – inauspicious destiny.
8. Don’t be too critical of things. Respect the individuality of every human being.
Being a spiritual person, you must enquire from your own self these questions
to know whether you have become too intolerant of others.
a) Am I a true believer of God?
b) Are you a believer of only your God?
c) Do you believe in others’ God?
d) Is your God different from the God of others?
A true ShivYogi is tolerant of all religions. He does not distinguish and
discriminate on religious, racial or caste lines. All are equal. All have Shiva
within them. May all be happy and peaceful.
9. To change the state of affairs in your country, do not work only at the physical
level. Change the vibrations. Connect to divinity. There must be no scattering of
the vibrations. There must be uniform emotion of optimism and hope in the
higher powers as also the infinite potential to create positivity that is inherent
within us. Stop finger pointing. Begin self analysis. Introspect on your own
contribution.

Babaji on Strengthening the Chakras, the Emotional Body and raising

the Consciousness
10. Weakness on any front arises the moment we drift away from our soul. The
soul is the purest of the pure light of unconditional love. It is far removed from
the logic of the world which discriminates, finds faults and tries judge others or
your own self.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 17

 
 
11. The ageing process in these times has fastened in the hectic routine of city life.
While a village man looks much the same even after decades, the city man
begins to fade in a matter of 365 days. This is because everything is being done
in haste. And haste makes waste. The poor lifestyle, with minimal or zero
emphasis on exercise and good eating habits, too is a huge contributory factor.
12. There are three gunas in every human being – Tamogun, Rajogun and Satogun.
And there are also three knots of ignorance in an individual. They are:
 Brahma Granthi
Location : Mooladhaar Chakra
This is the most gross of the knots. The Tamoguni karmas are governed by
the opening or closing of this knot. The more it is open, the more is the
detachment from worldly vices of ego, greed, anger, lust, and attachment.
This knot is untied by the Guru through his tapa shakti.

 Vishnu Granthi
Location : Below the Anahat Chakra
This is the knot of ignorance which is medium in nature. There is worldly
enjoyment but the luxuries are governed by both Satoguna and Tamoguna.
This knot has to be opened by the disciple himself by giving unconditional
love to all, by forgiving all and by accepting everyone the way they are. All
these 3 in addition to the kundalini Sadhana taught by the Guru.

 Rudra Granthi
Location : Above the Vishuddhi Chakra
This is the knot of subtle ignorance. After having crossed the hurdles of
Brahma and Vishnu granthi, there may occur the false ego of spirituality.
But the Guru helps pierce this too if one happens to reach till here through
his own efforts.
13. The simplest way to completely destroy the progress of the Kundalini or
consciousness is to consume alcohol. Babaji mentioned yet again that if one
desires to finish himself completely both in worldly and spiritual life, he is free
to consume alcohol, whiskey, beer etc. Those who genuinely want to progress
on the path of ShivYog will never even think about hard drinks. Not even beer.

Babaji on 2012 Ascension Period

14. “I want to congratulate all Shivyogis for they have become the torchbearers of
divinity in the ascension of this planet. They have helped establish a divine
protective shield around Earth, which not only averted a catastrophic
occurrence, but also lead to the ascension of the planet from third to fourth
dimension. As seekers who have come as far as Goa to seek the divinity, I will
guide you all in the emotions you need to encourage within yourself to keep up
with the ascension. As a start, give up manipulation in any situation. Be simple
and loving. Have no impure intention and hidden motives.”

General
15. ShivYog calls for fulfillment of all the debts. All debts can be broadly classified
under three categories:

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 18

 
 
 a) Karmic debt
b) Sansaarik debt
c) Adhyatmik debt
Leaving out even one will land you in trouble.
So how to make sure that along with the daily life, one can also pay back these
debts? Here’s how.
 In the morning, perform the Deva Karma (Pran kriyas, Swadhyay,
Sadhana). This will help pay back the Adhyatmik debt.
 In the afternoon, perform the Sakaam Karma (the professional duties).
This will help in retuning the Sansaarik debt.
 In the evening, perform the Shanti Karma (the duties towards the family
members). This will help in paying back the karmic debt.

16. Every meditation will lead you to unconditional love, acceptance and
forgiveness. Every desire in life is motivated by happiness. So why not
experience these ebeforehand when we eventually have to reach there.
17. Be truthful in every manner.
18. Be non violent at all times. Harbour the emotion of unconditional love always.
Violence does not always imply physical violence. When you think negatively
about a person, you are committing violence. Any form of expression of
aggressiveness or negativity in physical action, emotional feeling or mental
thought is counted as violence.
19. Be self satisfied. Do not try to snatch what belongs to others. Keep your sights
firmly on what you have received. Never be jealous.
20. Make a discipline rule book for yourself. And these rules will make you one
day.
21. Expect acknowledgement for your good deeds only from your own self. Do not
fall in the trap of ego and run around begging for praise from others. And in
case others do not praise you, you start lashing out negativity on them.You are
answerable to only yourself.
22. Every evening de-stress yourself with meditations. The Saayein sandhya or the
evening worship is done to release the negative karmic baggage accumulated in
the course of the day. The Praatah sandhya or the morning worship is done to
fill the five bodies with the energy of the divine.
23. In life, remember only the happiest moments. Try to emphasise on only them.
Do not provide space for unhappy thoughts. Burn the past. Bury the sorrow
and never look back from there.
24. When the Guru cleanses the negative karmas of an individual, he leads the
disciple to a fertile garden. Now it is up to the disciple to plant the seeds of
negativity or positivity in that garden.
As a Guru, Babaji advises all Shivyogis to plant the flower of good health,
success, sound relationships and positivity to make it a garden of divinity. In
this garden of divinity, the water and manure will be the Sadhana, seva and
sankirtan. The insecticides will be forgiveness.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 19

 
 
 25. Every individual must undertake at least one seva project of teaching an
underprivileged child, providing food and means of empowerment to the
needy etc.
26. Seva is something that you do for your own self. Not for others. Seva is not
done for praise.
27. No disease is incurable. Just because allopathic medicine doesn’t have cure for a
disease, it shouldn’t mean that the disease is incurable. If you can create a
disease, you can kill it too.
28. Typhoid, Tuberculosis, Jaundice etc were are incurable at one time in history.
People used to die after contracting these diseases. But once medical science
found a way to cure them, the death rate reduced and now is zero. No person
dies of jaundice now. But the teaching is not that medical science is doing
wonders. It is that time has come that man realizes that he himself too can do
wonders as all the healing powers to heal all the diseases is within you. Only
the belief and will power has to be there.

Day 4
Namah Shivay! Unbelievable, Inexplicable, Amazing, Inexpressible. These words can
only make a feeble attempt to describe how the fourth day of the Goa Shivir panned
out. Babaji has catapulted the divine atmospherics being experienced during the Shivir
to the point where finite depictions do not hold the power to describe the happenings.
Still, through beautiful pictures and write-ups, one can only attempt to indicate the
unprecedented healing being showered by Babaji.
The goose bumps felt upon Babaji’s arrival in the K K Birla Auditorium in BITS, Pilani
sum up best the indescribable and untold excitement which engulfs the zone of
Babaji’s presence. But what was experienced in the last session of the fourth day in
Goa was beyond what even goose bumps can reveal, beyond what words can attempt
to describe and beyond any human imagination.
Babaji’s voice is so spellbinding that any bhajan he sings turns into a divine poetry.
Even the occasional old filmy line he sings sounds so pleasing, leading one to feel that
this soul is someone very special. The hands automatically fold, the body
automatically bows down and there is a natural emotion of devotion and worship that
Babaji’s presence brings about.
Babaji sure knows how to make someone happy. He knows a little more on how to
fully satisfy a soul. A slight example of this ability of his to trigger divine ecstasy was
seen by all the sadhaks on the fourth day of the Shivir, which some said was also the
best day of the special Shivir so far. The third and final session of the fourth day
turned out to be a divine gift out of the blue for all the sadhaks. One after the other
Babaji unleashed a string of immensely touching and soul stirring ShivYog bhajans,
sung in deep sentimentality towards the Guru & Almighty.
The session began with Guru Da Darshan and Babaji being a supreme Guru bhakt
himself seemed like a sadhak transported to some other dimension, receiving fresh
initiation from his Guru. His eyes closed in devotion. His hands slightly raised in
acknowledgement and his lips singing the praises of the shakti of his Guru as the
photos in this album will reveal.
A prolonged Guru Da Darshan was followed immediately by Ek Din Bandeya,

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 20

 
 
reminding the sadhaks of the transient and temporary nature of the human birth.
During the bhajan, Babaji drove home the point in the mind of the sadhaks that at the
end of life, what will count is the balance of the punya karmas. Worldly riches,
inflated financial status and exceptional wealth will be of no use when the last breath
is exhaled. What will matter are only the good deeds of service which you have
performed during your lifetime.
This was followed by the Namah shiva namah shiva kar bandeya. It looked like Babaji
wanted to convey to the sadhaks the urgency to raise the consciousness, the
immediacy of understanding that materialistic pursuits are not the only reason for our
existence and there is a higher Goal to be achieved. And he was not wrong. Life is
indeed short-lived. By the time we realize our mistakes, it is time to depart from this
world. And there is no guarantee that we shall return in the same human form, in the
same affluent conditions.
To join these three back to back bhajans and take the atmosphere to a different level of
divinity altogether, arrived Swasa di Mala Naal Simraan main tera naam. Babaji’s
musical appeal to the Almighty to embrace him and become one was supported by all
the sadhaks who followed him line by line.
All through this Shivir, it has been Babaji’s earnest desire to ignite the spiritual fire in
the sadhaks. The sustained effort has included lovely Dhyan Sankirtans too.
So, to end the day, after all these bhajans had created a rarefied and inexplicably
sacred and spiritual air inside the auditorium, Babaji saluted the saints with Namokar
mantra which is --- Namo Arihantanam
Namo Siddhanam
Namo Ayyariyanam
Namo Uvajayanam
Namo Lohe Sava Sahunam

The session had only and only bhajans but the bliss experienced during these bhajan
sankirtans can be described only by those who felt it on the spot. Beyond words.
Beyond goose bumps.
So let us leave apart such sacrosanct experiences which are beyond our
comprehension. Let us understand the easy to comprehend teachings which Babaji
spoke on so well in the two sessions before the complete sankirtan session.
Although whatever comes out of the divine vocal chords of Babaji becomes a point to
be noted, there are still some teachings which are most essential. They are being
shared below for the convenience of sadhaks the world over.

Shivyogi Versus an Ordinary Person

1. While an average person would cut corners when asked to do some work, love
his family or care for his own self, a ShivYogi, in contrast will be sincere in his
spiritual duties, his duties towards his own self, his family, his society, his Guru
and his fellow beings. A ShivYogi will never shy away from hard work and
effecting a positive change in his life. He will be disciplined and will have a
fixed routine.
2. A ShivYogi will have a strong determination. He will say no with confidence.
He will not be addicted to any bad habit – smoking, drinking, tobacco, drugs
etc even to a small extent.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 21

 
 
3. If there is a problem in life, a ShivYogi will not stop at curing himself on only
the physical front. He will heal himself in totality that is body, mind and soul.
4. A normal person will succumb to any difficult situation in life. A ShivYogi will
learn the lessons from all troubles and emerge victorious to a higher scale after
the problem by not committing the same mistake again.
5. A ShivYogi seeks wisdom from the Guru and not short term remedies for
superficial cure.
6. Whereas an average person would be happy to remain in his comfort zone,
even if it means degradation of the level of his consciousness, a ShivYogi will
always try to come out of his comfort zone. A ShivYogi will have a burning
desire to raise his vibrations, a burning desire to heal his life as also those of his
nears and dears, a burning desire to evolve.
7. A ShivYogi will not try to escape from challenges in life. He will give it his all.
He will do or die. There will be no ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’.
After having read all of the above, ask yourself, can you call yourself a
ShivYogi? If not ask yourself how much more do I need to improve and begin
bringing the positive changes right away.

Babaji on Giving up Comparative Happiness

8. Make a sincere effort to understand your goals in life. The immediate, mid-term
and long-term goals must be clearly spelled out.
9. Whenever you wish for something, first analyse the consequences you will have
to face if the wish materializes. Ask yourself what is the intention behind the
wish. Is the intention impure? Am I wishing something to show off to the
world? Is my desire driven by belittling others?
10. Happiness must never be relative or comparative. Happiness is an inner
phenomenon. It cannot be arrived at by means of competition. The misleading
idea of happiness based on bettering others is actually an excuse to fuel your
ego and give birth to more of the vice of jealousy which will eventually lead to
downfall.
11. Never wish for something which will lead to your spiritual descension.
12. Babaji cited the example of a wife who had a penchant for exotic and luxury
watches worth lakhs. Her husband had been gifting her watches since her last
two birthdays. For the third year running, the husband bought a Rs 3 lakh
watch for her. Babaji commented on this --- “When you gifted one watch, okay
one can understand. When you gifted the second watch okay one has the other
hand to wear it. But how will you make her wear the third watch? Is she
Goddess Lalita Tripursundari who has multiple hands?” This sparked peals of
rip-roaring laughter among all. The message was to stop running after such
materialism.
13. Those who feel that the more the money you spend on someone, the more you
love that person are living in a fool’s paradise, said Babaji. Money must be
spent wisely. There must be value for money. Emotions, subtle actions, certain
sweet gestures weigh far more than extravagantly splurging on luxury gifts,
just to satisfy ego.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 22

 
 
14. ShivYog is the path of truthfulness. Every action, every teaching is based on
reality, grounded in divinity.
15. If you really love someone, perform massive charity yourself and pray to God :
“Dear Almighty, I dedicate the good fruits of this charity to xyz (name of the
person). This is the true welfare. This is doing something really worthwhile for
someone. Materialism leads to utter frustration. The biggest gift you can give
someone is to pray for the best of the best of this someone. Don’t run after
conforming to the worldly products which have zero effective value. All that
practices of presenting expensive gifts can do is to lead you downward.

Babaji on Debt Repayment, Karmic Release and Paying the Price

16. Every day that you wake up from the bed, pay gratitude to these in this order
a) First, your home. Negativity will perish by itself.
b) Second, gratitude has to be to your parents. If you are a married woman,
you have to pay gratitude to your in-laws who are like parents for you
now. You have karmic give and take with them now.
c) Third, gratitude to the spouse.
d) Fourth, one to the Guru who has opened the doors of divinity for you.
e) The fifth one, to the one who has made everything possible – the supreme
Paramatma.
f) Last, identify your Goal and visualize that it has been accomplished. Pay
gratitude for its successful accomplishment.
17. Nothing comes free in life. There is price to be paid for everything.
18. If you are only enjoying life, doing nothing for others, you are rapidly spending
the bank balance of your good deeds. The day the balance will expire, there will
be nothing left and a miserable destiny might follow. Therefore seva is an
essential must in life.
19. The debt of these entities have to be paid at all costs
a) Mother Earth
b) Guru
c) Parents
d) Society
e) Country
20. If you eye what is not yours, if you try to steal others’ possessions, you are
carving a path where you will be deprived of even what you were entitled for
initially.
21. The difference between a birth lived like that of an animal and one that is lived
truly like a divine being is this ---
The animal-like person will be interested in only indulgence for himself, not
caring a damn about others. Such a person will have to meet the same fate as an
animal. Some day he will be enslaved. Some day he will lose his freedom. Some
day he will be locked in a cage and held in captivity.
The divine being-like person will have the best of the best in his life, but he will
not be blind to the pain of others. He will work to uplift others also along with
him. He will have the feeling that if God has empowered me, why I shouldn’t

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 23

 
 
 help others to achieve the same with the means available to me.
22. Performing Nishkaam seva will help release all the karmic debt, the
accumulated karmas of the previous births.
23. Even if one continues doing the Sadhana, there comes a stage where the hard
layers of accumulated karmas refuses to go. It is here that Seva softens the inner
core so that the release process becomes very easy.
24. Instill in yourself the attitude of gratitude. A part of the debt is paid by merely
extending your gratitude to ---
a) Your 5 bodies for working in day in and day out at your service.
b) Your invisible Spiritual Guides, Siddha Gurus who always stop you from
Committing Sin, knowingly or unknowingly.
c) Your Parents
d) Your Teachers
e) Your Guru
25. The Universe is running on the Principle of Gratitude.

MISCELLANEOUS
26. Babaji is often asked, by sadhaks that what if I am very positive and the other
members of my family are negative?
27. His answer -- If other members of your family are creating too much negativity,
don’t be disheartened. Do not give up. Do not become negative yourself. If such
a situation arises, raise your vibrations such that your divinity overpowers the
negativity of others. The dominant energy should become the positive energy.
The biggest deterrent to healing is the rigidity in belief that now I’m established
in the state of disease and now I cannot be cured any which way.
28. In the walls of your home, hang only those photos which send out a positive
message. Pictures of weapons, of wars, of instruments etc. all have an effect on
the sub-conscious mind and slowly the members of the house will be restless
and irritated.
29. The inner décor of your home must be in keeping with the theme of peace and
tranquility. Because the inner environment is directly affected and influenced
by the outer environment.
30. Your consciousness will rise only when it is pure. When impure, it will stagnate
or spiral downward.
31. Do not run after competing with others. Run after excellence. Competition must
only be with the self. Every day in every way you should get better and better
from what you were yesterday.
32. Figure out the negative beliefs you carry with yourself. Find out the bad habits,
the bad tendencies, the vices which are acting as obstacles to your journey from
being finite to infinite. Ask yourself, what is stopping you from being complete?
Once, you get answers to these questions, chalk out the solutions, measure the
progress in removal of these hurdles and plant a positive belief instead of the
earlier negative one.
33. Your perception towards the world is how you yourself are. You treat others
the way you are. If you don’t respect yourself, you will not respect others. If

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 24

 
 
 you do not love yourself, you cannot love others. In life, your attitude decides
what you get. Your belief in the divinity is the key.
34. To choose your destiny, change the inner look. Automatically, the outer look
will change, the perception, the viewpoint and the entrenched beliefs will
change.
35. Perform self introspection rather than analysis of others. Don’t try to belittle or
suppress others from succeeding. Do not try to overhaul others. Don’t try to
manipulate to succeed. Be like the sun. Shine so hard that even ihose who do
not know you, take notice.
36. There is no point applying kilogrammes of external cosmetics to look good. In
order to shine, you will have to apply the inner cosmetic. Once, the inner
beauty is established, the outer beauty will emerge on its own. The inner
cosmetics are Unconditional love, positive belief system, forgiveness and
acceptance of everyone the way they are. Seek forgiveness from others if you
have inflicted pain on them.
37. The Guru will grant you the wisdom, the shakti and he will also show you the
path to Self-Realiation. But walking on this path is a choice left to you. The
Guru cannot travel for you. Karma you will have to perform by receiving
guidance from the Guru. The rule of karma says that negative karmas can be
released by only the person who has performed them.
38. To release karmas, healing of the higher bodies is must.

Day 5
Namah Shivay! Babaji has the Godly ability to sense the pulse of the sadhaks. He
knows exactly what they are thinking and what is right for them. So, after two
tremendous sessions of very powerful healing, in the morning and afternoon Babaji
declared at the start of the evening session that this session would last only till 4pm.
He said, “I know it is a momentous day for Indians today. A special programme is
scheduled for this evening. I know you all want to witness that.” His reference was to
the oath taking ceremony of the new government which had caused unprecedented
anticipation among the countrymen for various reasons and sadhaks were no
exception to this rule.
This declaration of Babaji drew a huge round of applause and amazement as to how
Babaji could find out what they wanted.
However, Babaji makes sure that at all times, Shivyogis continue to evolve. He
believes that it is not the incident that is important. It is the lessons we derive out of
the incident. For him more important than the event is how people who have strong
will to succeed overcome even very humble beginnings to not only make their own
life worthwhile, but also become capable to administer a nation.
He said, “The life of every achiever or public personality is something we must learn
from. Celebrate the success of renowned people but be sure to learn how to succeed
from them. Even if you are born in financially unsound conditions, there is no way
that door of opportunities is closed for you. Today, we have a clear instance before us
to show how sincerity, hard work, honesty, dedication, focus and devotion can take a
man from rags to riches.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 25

 
 
The fifth and penultimate day of the Goa Shivir was another marvelous day in the
spiritual sojourn that has been the Art of Self Realisation and Kundalini Sadhana
Shivir 2014.
There was more meditation and sankirtan but very less of verbal. But for whatever
little period Babaji spoke, he belted out gems. So here is another bevy of pearls of
wisdom from Babaji’s vast divine consciousness.
The second last day of the Hindi leg of the Shivir also saw sadhaks narrating life
changing experiences felt during the course of the healings. So for some, eyesight
improved to the extent that spectacles were required no more, for others the medicines
for joint pains were needed no more, knee pains had vanished, pathology reports
revealed all parameters to be healthy, recurrent digestive disorders were healed
permanently, husband-wife quarrels were resolved etc.
A proof, if any, were needed to display the effectiveness and the curing effect of the
meditations and sankirtan during this Shivir, was received by all. So much bhakti, so
much healing, so much surrender, so much more will power, so much rise of the
consciousness, so much alterations in the destiny. It’s all happening here in Goa.
The Shivir has reached a level of divinity, not witnessed since long. And the teachings,
even small ones are so hands-on and self-transforming that the sadhaks who came for
the Shivir will return tomorrow to their home as completely different and now also
divine individuals.

Teachings in detail :

Babaji’s advice for Parents, Doctors and Teachers to build a strong Nation
which is totally free from Social Evils, Addictions and Intolerance.
1. To alter the upcoming crop of citizens, Babaji said it is important to nip the evil
in the bud. Ensuring a holistic development of a child is the duty of the parents
in the first place and teachers and doctors subsequently.
2. Children from 0-5 years are very impressionable. They observe every action,
every reaction of their parents and people around them. They also get
influenced by the energy of the individuals around them.
3. During their formative and growth years, be very careful about who the child
gets in touch with. If possible, the child must be exposed only to the immediate
family till the first five years of his life. Such isolation is tough but necessary if
you wish to rear a divine child. No exposure to the relatives as they will
influence the energy of the child by acting in a certain manner.
4. All the emotions of greed, intolerance, helplessness, fear, anger are planted in
the psyche of a human from the stage when he is an infant.
5. When you snatch something from a child, scold him badly, he will begin crying.
You are planting the emotion of anger and helplessness in him.
6. When you try to scare the child by saying things like “Do this otherwise xyz
will punish you”, you are planting the negative psychic impression of fear in
him.
7. When you are making comparisons and discriminating between your children,
what you are indirectly doing is ingraining in him the feeling of jealousy and
negative completion.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 26

 
 
8. As an individual grows up to be n adult, these above mentioned emotions
expand and occupy the greatest share in a person’s life. Half the problems of
intolerance, quarrels, fights and conflicts, currently plaguing the world have
their origin in how we bring up our kids.
9. So a child who has always been compared to his siblings, scolded, derided and
rebuked will in his teens be very possessive about his friends. He will have
jealousy with his own friends.
10. So, the need is to be very very careful about not to establish a “trigger response”
during the rearing and caring stage of a child.
11. This was for parents. But if you are a doctor, do not reveal the consequences of
a disease. Just give the remedy and hasten the healing process. Don’t talk about
how the particular symptom can lead to severe abc symptoms. This will create
doubts and negative psychic impressions in the mind of the person. The cure
will take that much more time.
12. On their part, people must stop listening to the bad deeds of others to create an
impression about the personalities of others. ShivYog says no judgement about
others.
13. Shivyogis must stay miles away from astrologers. For the Shivyogis, the Golden
book is their horoscope. Zodiac predictions are not for Shivyogis. They carve
their own destiny. They do not let others tell them about how their life will pan
out. They will create a beautiful life themselves.
14. These days, the level of stress has increased, not only because of work related
hectic pace of life but because the psychic impressions acquired from childhood
to adulthood all are very negative in nature.
15. School teachers must not resort to hitting the children. They must not try to
work on fear.
16. Stress in various emotions creates different diseases. The stress of feeling
suppressed creates joint and knee pains, the stress of anger causes the high
blood pressure, heart disease, jealousy gives rise to diabetes etc.
17. The important thing in life is to release the karmas which are the driving force
behind any and every misery. The fact that at times, if not most of the times, we
encounter failure after a string of successes reveals that karmas are acting as a
big disturbing factor to evolution. For releasing these karmas, Sadhana and
seva are a strict essential.
18. In the event that a child gets a poor upbringing emotionally as described above,
he will harbor an unknown fear of failure and will then try to lose himself,
escape from the world and would try to seek short term thrills through
smoking, drinking, drugs etc.
19. The need of the hour is to enhance the will power through Sadhana.
20. While allopathy is great for emergency cure, some practices like removal of
organs, surgeries etc must be steered clear of. The human body is a community
of 50 trillion cells. All these cells are constantly working in tandem with each
other. If we remove any one cell through surgery, the natural configuration and
the overall rhythm will be upset and a new problem will emerge in it’s place.

General
1. I must realize that I’m a God in human form. I must also realize that so busy am
I in the sea of worldly pursuits that because of my ignorance, I’ve forgotten my
true identity.
2. It is impossible to unfold your true identity (that you are God), without the
three ShivYog virtues of Sadhana, Seva and Sankurtan.
3. Learn from nature. Nature never deviates from it’s true tendency. Air continues
to flow in a rhythm, the rivers continue to flow in a pattern, the trees dance in
the windy rain, the birds soar higher and higher in their flight. But it is only a
human that deviates from his basic quality of unconditional love.
4. On a lighter vein, Babaji said that he is just a housekeeper. He is just a sweeper
on 24/7 duty. Whenever anyone calls him, he knocks the door. But it is up to
the disciple whether to open the door or not. Invocation of Babaji’s healing
powers means that he will surely come to bless us. Just that we will have to let
go of our ego, our vices, the devil in us, which says no I don’t want to erase
myself. The devil says ‘I will not surrender to the Guru’. He will finish me. A
strong will power, thus is required always to overcome the shortcomings and
weaknesses in life. The Guru will come but when will you make an effort at
your end to do your bit?
5. Once you have taken mantra deeksha from the Guru along with the Sadhana
shakti in his physical presence, do the maansik japa of the mantra along with
the shakti. You will see a drastic change in your fortunes. The more you practice
it, the more you will get activated.
6. As you practice the meditations taught during a Shivir, you will realize that
there is a notable upswing in your self-confidence and will power. You will
encounter that your reaction to situations is not at all negative now. There will
be an automatic unison with the Supreme One. The moment you close your
eyes, you will see a deep illumination.
7. It is your birthright to experience peace, to experience divinity and to feel the
divine tranquility. Don’t deprive yourself of this divine experience by
remaining busy in only the materialistic activities. Equal weightage is also to be
given to your spiritual side, which is actually your true identity.
8. If you are looking to tone up your physique by adding muscle, do not take
artificial supplements. Build the body through natural means. Today, we are
seeing a massive rise in diabetes and other such ailments just because of
intaking synthesized and processed food. We must turn to natural foods.
9. To progress in your spiritual journey, plant the habits of
a) Shuddh bhaavna (Pure intention)
b) Nirmal mann (Clutter free mind)
c) Nischal mann (Silent mind)
d) Bishaaaal mann (Large-heartedness)
10. Do not take to unfair means to achieve anything in life. The feeling governing
your actions decides eventual success or failure. For short term benefit, long
term evolution must never be compromised. Babaji narrated how during his
young days, he had received the opportunity to work in a radio station. But, for

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 28

 
 
 that a form needed to be filled. On the form, in the last section the signatures of
the guardians was needed. At that time, Babaji’s elder brother was his
guardian. He refused to send him for a radio jockey audition. Babaji explained
how he could have forged the signature of his brother. How easy it was to do
that. But honesty is the best policy. You may cheat the world externally, but you
cannot cheat the Shiva sitting within you.
11. It is Babaji’s vision to get the teachings of ShivYog included in academic
syllabus of the schools of our country. As a prototype, he had done so in a
school in Kanpur. The passing rate was 100% and all students received a
distinction, much to the astonishment of the school administration. Such were
the disbelief among other schools that they filed a writ petition against the
school principal saying such a phenomenal result in board examinations is not
possible and indigestible.
12. But this grand idea is back now. Soon, he will make all out efforts to reach out
to the young ones and educate them with spiritual teachings at a tender age
such that they grow up to inherit a nation which is not only ahead in academic
excellence but also a spiritual one.

Day 6
Namah Shivay! Goa Shivir is like the jewel in the crown of ShivYog shivirs. The
moment it is announced in the event calendar, it sends a wave of excitement among
the sadhaks. And this excitement is not without reason. Any Shivir by Babaji in Goa
has always been more like a spiritual carnival and very delightfully different from any
other Shivir.
And today that the Hindi leg (first six days) of the 11-day Shivir drew to a close,
sadhaks were jumping in joy as they had been freed of their chronic diseases, mental
blockages, psychic impressions, disabilities etc.
Babaji gave plenty of time today during the Shivir to the sadhaks to narrate their
experiences.
The intensive healing given by Babaji resulted in very deep cure to all the sadhaks.
Some of them took the mic to narrate the healing of the incisions after surgery,
complete cure of hyperacidity, removal of claustrophobia, entrenched beliefs, absolute
perfection in knee problems, 100% recovery of paralysis, spinal cord injuries, skin
diseases etc.
What a fantastic deep healing Shivir it has turned out to be. Babaji has skyrocketed the
energy level of the sadhaks to a completely different level altogether. The power has
reached an extent that Babaji has advised that whenever the sadhaks practice this at
home, they must do some physical activity after the Sadhana because it is important to
channelize this energy in the right direction.
The day ended earlier than usual and one session was dedicated to distribution of toys
to the children.
Many sadhaks have departed. Many others have stayed on to enjoy the blessings of
both the Hindi as well as English shivirs.
Also, this will be the last detailed post from Goa. The teachings imparted during the
English version of the Shivir will be posted as daily status posts right here on
Facebook and not as photo albums like during the Hindi Shivir.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 29

 
 
The highlight teaching of the Hindi Shivir, which was the most impressive wordings
Babaji has uttered so far.
Man created objects to use for fellow men out of Love and Conveneience. But his
Consciousness declined to the level that slowly it was objects that became the
centre of Love and humans became an object to use.
The descriptive teachings as Babaji detailed them for the one last time from Goa.
1. The mantra to heal yourself in life and be successful is three-fold. Whenever
you are sitting idle, do this mantra in the mind or verbally if the scenario
permits.
a) Forgiveness. I forgive myself physically. I forgive myself emotionally. I
forgive myself mentally.
b) Acceptance. I accept myself physically. I accept myself emotionally. I
accept myself mentally.
c) Unconditional Love. I unconditionally love myself physically. I
unconditionally love myself physically. I unconditionally love myself
mentally.
Doing even this mantra will lead to a rapid ascension and an immediate healing
will take place.

2. If you cannot forgive yourself, you will not be able to forgive others. If you
cannot accept yourself, you will not be able to accept others. If you cannot
unconditionally love yourself, you cannot unconditionally love others.
3. The West may be hale and hearty on many fronts but still there are so many
diseases, troubles and disorders. It is because the family values, driven by love,
care and compassion are missing. Always remember that human strength is
derived out of paying back to others what you have taken from others. The
West does not have the culture of positive sanskaras. The first duty, to pay back
the parents when you grow up is something totally ignored. Old age homes are
a glaring example. This, highly objectionable and ethically, morally and
spiritually wrong tendency has also begun taking roots in India. Babaji urged
all to keep the old parents with extreme care, love and affection for whatever
they have done for us.
4. Bowing down to the elders to touch their feet is a sign of paying your gratitude.
5. There are a plethora of festivals in India. A festival is an opportunity to
celebrate one’s existence. This is best done by feeding the cows, animals, birds,
the poor, the needy etc.
6. A festival implies forgetting the tension, burying the differences, taking a break
from the rigmarole of daily life, getting together with the family. In other words
a grand function where happiness is the theme. Babaji said that as sadhaks, we
must make an effort to make our lives a festival. We must celebrate every day.
We must cherish the moments with our loved ones at night. All Shivyogis must
pledge to have at least one meal, preferably dinner every day together with
their family. Dinner must be planned in such a manner that everyone is back
home and ready to eat together, smile together and enjoy together. This will
loosen the karmic bondages and lead to overall ascension.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 30

 
 
7. Whenever you feel that there is a problem in life, just establish a divine
connection. Connect with the mantra given by the Guru and go deep. Do not
think of the problem. Visualize a perfect situation.
8. A ShivYogi never schemes or plots others’ downfall. He never wishes bad for
others. He lives in the sat-chit-anand. Whatever he has to seek, he does so from
the God Almighty by activating the creation powers within himself.
9. Make feasible rules, which you can easily follow. Do not go all out one day and
do nothing the next day. Maintain a level of consistency. Begin slowly.
Gradually enhance your speed, progress slowly and eventually you will see
that you will be able to run like a bullet train. Do not try to launch yourself in
one go. Small and slow steps towards improvement.
10. Harbour a giving nature. Your sights must be set on what you have done for
others rather than what others have done for you. Remember giving is a divine
virtue which helps you pay back a part of your debt to humanity and whenever
you take something you are indebted. Always give something in return for a
service, a gesture, a compliment, a help etc.
11. Any disease arrives in the body only because there is disturbance in the flow of
the Life force energy in our subtle bodies. Complaining nature, anger, greed,
jealousy, criticism all contribute to the stoppage of energy flow.
12. Do not expect anything from anyone. Just remember what you have to or what
you can do for others.
13. Do not judge anyone. Do not talk of ill of anyone. Do not analyze behavior &
actions of others. Doing all these will eat up your hard earned spiritual energy.
14. We have begun giving so much attention to our physical existence. It is high
time we devote a little care to our emotional body too. Every day you must do
something which helps you evolve emotionally. Perform the self-analysis of
your emotions. Just observe yourself if you are holding on to any negative
emotions. Release them in Sadhana.
15. Even mere thoughts full of anger, greed, lust, ego, hurting others, irritation will
damage your spiritual energy.
16. It takes a fraction of a second for the Guru to heal the disease as it takes a
fraction of a second to let go of the pent up negative emotions for the disciples.
Babaji shed light on this fact while listening to the experiences of sadhaks who
had healed various kinds of troubles which had affected them for the last so
many years. They found it miraculous but Babaji said that everything in
ShivYog is scientific. When the baggage of karmas is released, an automatic
“light feeling” is experienced.
The personal experiences of the sadhaks made for such an interesting audience
that Babaji too was all ears. Spectacles, traumas of closed doors, skin diseases,
hyperacidity, limiting beliefs, relationship problems, ill health of the family
members etc were all a thing of the past now. And it was all owing to Babaji's
profound and intensive healing mediations. He encouraged all to keep up the
spiritual momentum in order to sustain the level of healing. The Kundalini had
finally risen and it was time for Babaji to reflect on what he had succeeded in
instilling within the sadhaks - seeds of profound divinity.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 31

 
 
 If sadhaks listen intently to Babaji whenever he sermons on something, he
makes sure he lends them a dedicated ear once they choose to speak. Babaji and
Gurumaa listened very patiently to the miraculous healings which had taken
place and which were revealed themselves by the sadhaks on the last day of the
Hindi Shivir in Goa.
In our mad race to maximize gains, we have paid a heavy moral price. We have
wrongly directed love towards material objects and begun using humans as objects.
The highlight teaching of the Hindi Shivir, which was the most impressive wordings
Babaji has uttered in Goa so far.
Man created objects to use for fellow men out of Love and Conveneience. But his
Consciousness declined to the level that slowly it was objects that became the
centre of Love and humans became an object to use.
------------------------------------(  )------------------------------------

 Bhagwaan ke Mele me Jebkaatro se Saaaaaaabdhaaaan :

Babaji gets Shakti deeksha at the age of 8yrs old. From that time to till date, Babaji is
doing his continuous deep meditation. Approx. after 50 years of continuous deep &
hard meditation, Babaji is being permitted by Siddha Guru Mandala for giving
initiation in Adwait Shree Vidya Deeksha. Babaji is initiating Shivyogis, more than 20
years back. But as soon as ShivYog become famous, suddenly lots & lots of Self
Declared Gyani Mahatma appearing day by day, just like a magic & starts their Bhakt-
looting cheating business. He Shivyogi, thinks logically and always remains aware.
Babaji is a Self Realised Siddha Yogi of Himalayan ShivYog Siddha Guru Mandala &
from Aadi Guru Dattatreya Avdhoot Parampara. After 50 years of long continuous
deep meditation, he gets permission for giving initiation in Shree Vidya. That means,
after so many years of continuous tapasya he became eligible to be an Adwait Shree
Vidya Guru. So, it is a very strange and surprising factor of today, that  how so
many young Guruji suddenly appears and starts giving ultra power deep initiations?
Always remain aware from these all Black Magicians, Energy Vampires & Copycat
Gurus. They may tell you either “Receive hi-power deeksha for deepest state of turiya &
wealth” or “Babaji allow me to initiate you”. Never be a Greedy nor a Fool. Babaji will
never ever give permission to anyother  1) for giving any type of initiation or 2) for
giving any type of order  to any Shivyogi. If needed, Babaji will tell you, electronically.

 Goa Shivir May 2014 (English)
Day 1
Namah Shivay! Differently pleasant discipline, differently excellent ambience,
different set of people, different sorts of greetings, different tastes, different languages,
different lineage. Same Babaji. Same divinity. More and more energy. The English
Shivir may be very different from that of the Hindi one in the above mentioned ways
but the common thread binding all is the unconditional love of Babaji.
Babaji is like a super-sonic aeroplane and the sadhaks are like the passengers on board
this plane. To the passengers it seems the plane is not moving. But in reality, it is
flying at a very high speed at the sky level, travelling huge distances in a matter of
minutes.
At the start of the English Shivir, Babaji has hit the ground running. It is said that well
begun is half the work done. To say this about the first day of the English Shivir will
be a gross understatement. What the sadhaks have experienced in one day owing to
the improved discipline, better management and facilities from the Hindi Shivir is
beyond any phrase to describe a flying start.
Three sessions and two brilliant and very long meditations all on the first day itself. It
seems the sadhaks here for the English Shivir are way too luckier. Babaji has been
extra kind so far.
The first day also saw Babaji taking a round inside the auditorium to meet the loving
sadhaks who fawned upon finding Babaji amidst them so near physically. The photos
will chronicle the chain of events of Babaji’s walk down in the audience.
Reminding the sadhaks that they are a being of light, reincarnated in human form to
experience divine bliss, Babaji on the first day of the Goa Shivir (English), pointed to
the “I” or the illusory sense of identity as the primary hurdle to realizing one’s true
self. Babaji also scoffed at the comical irony of an individual creating the disease on his
own but wanting others (doctors) to heal it for him. He added that if the disease was
created actively by the individual, the cure must also be brought in actively.
He despised the idea of seeking external cure for an internal problem. Terming
humans as intellectuals, Babaji remarked that too much intelligence had actually lead
to humans becoming worse than animals. He cited the emotions and characteristics of
resentment, difference of opinion, jealousy, cold war, scheming and plotting others’
downfall by humans as worse behavior than animals. Even incompatible animals are
not so vindictive, said Babaji. He asked whether anyone had seen two lions having
difference of opinion or a cold war or backstabbing.
Urging the sadhaks to rise above careless and ignorant living, he stated that any
problem or disease was not a punishment by the God but a signal from Mother Nature
that somewhere, the emotions require a positive change. Finally he underlined that the
person who makes it a habit to see the negativity in others, reacting negatively to
every situation will create psychic impressions every single moment and unresolved
issues with every other person.
For the sadhaks, he had a congratulatory message, saying that whoever has taken the
deeksha in this Shivir will find that the healing mantra has become a friend to him. So
whenever there is any disturbance in life, start the mental chanting or repetition of the
mantra and command it to heal the problem.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 33

 
 
Day 2
Namah Shivay! At last the moment arrived! Finally, Ishanji broke his silence in Goa.
And when he did, the roar was thunderous. For the five minutes he spoke on the mic,
every single eye in the hall and every single ear in the hall was on him for the whole
duration, noticing his explanatory gestures and smiling face.
Ishanji enlightened the sadhaks on how sympathy was a negative trait and that every
ShivYogi must have compassion rather than sympathy. Every sadhaks must help
others in distress. He must not just project worry or sorrow at the suffering of others.
He must do something on his part which helps relieve the misery.
He cited an incident which happened with him last evening to drive home his
excellent point. As he and his sister Geetanjaliji were driving down to a place in Goa,
they saw a pack of dogs marching around a street. They stopped the car to notice the
dogs. Ishanji pitied the frail and weak condition of the dogs saying that they looked
like sleep-deprived, food deprived and water deprived refugees. He called them
refugee dogs and felt sorry for them, thinking that street dogs up North and even
down South are well fed and so he felt sorry for the wafer-thin Goan dogs.
The wise Geetanjaliji listened to all this while not reacting to anything her brother said
so far. She got out of the car, opened the whole pack of biscuits she was carrying and
fed a huge quantity to the ailing dogs, who devoured every single bite of food that
was offered to them.
Ishanji learnt that when we feel sorry for someone, we connect to the vibrations of
complaining. But when we do something to remedy the sad state condition, we create
something positive, we do seva. This experience Ishanji shared during the Q & A
session of Babaji with the sadhaks.
Lending heapful of spiritual and behavioural advice to the parents of young children,
Babaji said on the second day of the English version of the Kundalini Sadhana Shivir
in Goa that parents have a vital role in feeding the child with the trigger response of
negative emotions. He strongly forbid parents to quarrel before their children, hurl
accusations at each other, cry and indulge in bad conduct since children are like a
clean slate and learn the bad emotions from their parents and when the children grow
up, they have been programmed to respond negatively to incidents, just like their
parents did. He requested all parents to set an example for their children, while
adding that they must show the path, guide the children in what is best for them.
Teach them what career will suit them the best keeping in view their aptitude but do
not force any career on them said Babaji, stating that materialization of a career for
children by the parents amounts to karmic interference.
For those looking to conceive divine children, Babaji said that the couple must
rejuvenate all the cells of their body by employing self healing techniques as taught
during this Goa Shivir. For revitalization of the energy, he suggested having energy
giving fruits, herbs and creation of a very divine atmosphere at home. Babaji had a
special word of praise for the wonder fruit of Amla. He urged all to have it raw or in
powder rather than as Murabbas and candies since the nutrient value is significantly
compromised that way.
Belief systems (driven by sanchit karmas or negative psychic impressions of the past
births) compel a human being to think in a certain way. And every thought emits
certain vibrations. The vibrations of the thoughts gives out energy. And a constant

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 34

 
 
 flow of energy over a continuous period causes the creation of a physical form. Babaji
held that the saying by the elders in India that “You become what you think about all
day long” was absolutely bang-on.
Babaji expounded on the need to raise the consciousness level to understand where
exactly one is going wrong in life because if someone does not do the Sadhana, he will
feel that whatever he is doing is perfectly fine when in reality he would be committing
blunders. So, the meditation is also important to understand the scope of
improvement in oneself.
Babaji suggested an interesting method to get rid of the bad deeds if a person decided
to do the Sadhana and change himself for the better. He said, “Make a list of all the
habits you have. Rate them one by one on a scale of 1-10 in terms of moral significance
and spiritual growth. Those qualities which are below a certain rating, say 4 out of 10,
just try and remove from life.”
On materialization powers, Babaji said, “It takes time for vibrations to manifest into
energy, and in turn for this energy to convert into physical form. More
spiritual/karmic hurdles means more time to materialize. So, the need is to undertake
seva or good deeds over a long period of time to undo the karmic debt. The currency
for repayment of the karmic debt is the Nishkaam seva or accumulation of the
punyas.”
If you have committed sins in the past, do not plunge in the guilt. Seek forgiveness
from yourself and the Almighty and say to yourself that this was a mistake committed
by an ignorant me. Now I am a different person. This is someone new. Those sins were
committed by someone else. I release that someone from me. Promise to yourself
never to repeat these mistakes.
Ascension is a daily phenomenon Babaji asserted. Every night a sadhak must ask
himself, did he ascend in every manner on this day?
Finally, he said that the consciousness of Mother Earth had risen after 2012. Now,
anyone who commits sin will get instant punishment for it. Every action will have
an instant result. Those who manipulate people and situations will not only lose what
they get through devil means in the long run, but they will also lose whatever was
destined to them originally.

Day 3
Namah Shivay! Ever since Ishanji had spoken yesterday, there were murmurs among
the sadhaks, wishing for him to speak again. But just as one would have thought that
one has heard the last from Ishanji in Goa, in commanded Babaji, handing over the
mic for the second time to Ishanji to shed a detailed light on all the seven chakras.
At first, Ishanji joyfully opposed but Babaji had made up his mind. And a “Sad-
Shishya” or the sincere disciple can never cross question the Guru.
Thus the English Shivir was lightened up yet again by Ishanji’s extremely profound
words. Even Babaji appreciated the unique ways yet superbly weaved manner in
which his son explained the implications of opened and closed chakras. The carefully
calibrated and marvelously crafted words of Ishanji, laced with oodles of humour and
“peppered” with witty, catchy and profound one-liners stole the heart of all those
present.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 35

 
 
In the process of delivering a magnificent discourse, he also educated the sadhaks to
clap whole-heartedly such that the chakras of the sadhak sitting next to each one are
fully activated. Sadhaks love Ishanji for his daring humour. He did not even leave
Babaji while poking fun at everyone. But Babaji was equal to the task. He had his own
rejoinders ready. The playful contest of words between Babaji and Ishanji was one of if
not the most entertaining moments of the 2014 ShivYog summer in Goa.
Ishanji brings to the stage his cheeky humour and child-like expressions. Whenever
the mic is directed at Ishanji, a series of smiles and laughter instantly spread through
the auditorium. Gurumaa, Geetanjaliji and the sadhaks have thoroughly enjoyed the
playful digs of Babaji on Ishanji and vice-versa.
To share one of the fun potshots, Ishanji stopped his speech at the explanation of
Anahat chakra, saying that the chakras above he will explain in the next session. He
said, “A break is due. May be others want to go to the toilet. May be I need to go to the
toilet.” Babaji replied, “Vishuddhi Chakraaaaaaaaa…………….” This sent all present into
deep laughter.

Salient points of Ishanji’s talk in brief:

 Mooladhar Chakra  Provides stability to an individual. A deactivated
Mooladhar has all the worldly dirt in it. The Pashubhaav or the animal tendencies
are a characteristic of a deactivated Mooladhar chakra. To add humour, Ishanji
said that the person with consciousness in the Mooladhara will enjoy jokes related
to the body. Like a child will laugh very hard at jokes on farting, bowels etc.
 Swaddhisthan Chakra  Is responsible for the sense of taste. The six petals in
it correspond to the six senses with which we can experience God. But an ignorant
person chooses to experience sensory joys through the six senses and waste his
life. Ishanji quoted Babaji, “In life you can either be sensible of senseless. The
choice lies with you.” On a lighter note, Ishanji added that a person whose
consciousness is stuck in the wrong way in the Swaddhisthan chakra will enjoy
“non-veg” jokes.
 Manipur Chakra  When the consciousness reaches the Manipur charka, a
human being has all the worldly comforts of “good roti, good kapda and good
makaan”. What he now seeks is power to fuel his ego. The Mnaipur chakra is the
powerhouse of the etheric body. It is where all the emotions, the grudges and the
karmic connections are stored. An ignorant person fills the Manipur chakra with
complaints, grudges, gripes and resentment against others in the Manipur chakra
instead of filling it with the divine energy.
 Anahat Chakra  The Anahat chakra is the centre of unconditional love in a
human being. It is the centre of healing in man. The more it is opened, the more an
individual is healthy, the more he has the power to heal. A person who activates
the Anahat chakra by loving others uniformly with unconditional love, encounters
establishment of his connection with the Anahat chakra of the Guru and the the
Anahat chakra of the God, which are the ultimate source of healing energy- the
Sanjeevani Shakti.
 Vishuddhi Chakra  This chakra is the filter between humanly qualities and
Godly traits. It is the connection between humanliness and godliness.
The parents who have a physically deformed child are affected by a blockage in
the Vishuddhi. They lie too much or utter harsh words which has blocked the

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 36

 
 
 divine energy from flowing to the brain and encounter a hurdle in the smooth
flow of the healthy genes to their children during conception.
Because if the filter itself is dirty, how will the energy from the lower chakras
reach the Agya chakra for intelligence, for peace of mind and for worldly-
wiseness?
At this point, Babaji asserted that a husband and wife looking to conceive a divine
child have to follow a one and half year routine to bear a very healthy and
extremely divine child who will be a world beater.
At least one year, the couple have to live together, understand each other,
meditate together and try practicing unconditional love with each other. During
this one year they also have to rejuvenate their senses through the Sooksham
kriyas, Pran kriyas, eating healthy food and doing the Sadhana. After one year, for
a period of 60 days the couple has to practice absolute celibacy. If possible, stay
separately and perform regular meditations at their end. They also must do the
ShivYog breathing processes, as part of a strict routine. If anyone follows this
method of having a baby, there are chances of a God-like baby being born.
 Agya Chakra  When a human masters the lower chakras, the consciousness
reaches the centre of divinity, the centre of the guru, the place which provides
guidance in all aspects of life to a human being, a place which is the inner voice.
Once the consciousness reaches here, the human being gives the “agya” or the
command to himself – “Tum Chahte Keya Ho?” It corresponds to the pineal gland
and if this starts getting activated, all the systems of the body begin running in a
perfect condition and he begins experiencing a divine bliss in his life.
The “iPad” generation of today, said Ishanji, is looking for more advancement in
technology, more gadgets, more gizmos to feed their curiosities and cater to their
anxieties. But the spiritual thirst, which is the driving factor of all invention is
missing. That is why the restlessness, That is why the dissatisfaction with one
gadget upon the immediate arrival of the other.
 Sahastrasar Chakra  Corresponds to thousand sensory nerve points in the
brain. This is the centre of the divine grace. Activation of this is the sole motto of
every human being. When the consciousness reaches here, the false identity of the
human ceases to exist. Only the divine light remains. The Sahastrasar chakra is the
subtle touch of the Almighty.
Once Ishanji was about to meditate and Babaji came smiling to him. Repeated smiles
of Babaji irked Ishanji and once and for all he asked him not to disturb him even as he
is about to sit for meditation. So, Babaji said that you are shirking from receiving the
gross love from, what will you do when the God touches you lovingly in a very subtle
way. Because the love of God is very subtle. You have to be receptive to it to
understand what grace is. To do that, first you will have to be seized of the
Unconditional Love on the Physical Level.
To drive home the teaching of channelizing of the energy in the right direction, Ishanji
drew comparisons with a bow and arrow. He said that we don’t have to break the bow
if we are not reaching the bull’s eye or the target. What we have to do is to just change
the direction of our bow to direct the arrows at the accurate target.
Ishanji summed up his eloquent address to the sadhaks on chakras by goading them
to think about the purpose of their lives. He cited the story behind Austrians being so
intellectual, what with top think-tanks originating from that country. He said, as part

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 37

 
 
of their routine, every evening Austrian people sit with a cup of coffee in parks, cafes
etc and sit to contemplate the meaning of their lives, what they want from their lives,
what more can be done to achieve the best, what are the implications of human
behavior etc. This tendency to think every evening in silence is the reason behind
Austria being the fountainhead of many brainy individuals.
Ishanji’s discourse drew a huge round of applause. The claps did not stop. Babaji was
proud to have a son like him. The breakfast session ended on this note.
But before leaving, Ishanji said that Babaji does not quantify grace. For example 2 kg
healing power or 5 litres of curing ability. The grace of the God is something he gives
away “Chappar faar ke” (A hindi phrase meaning showering bountiful of something
on someone especially referring to the grace of God).
He asked all sadhaks to seek healing, happiness, joy and abundance, “Chappar faar
ke”. To add a trifle more of humour, as he was saying chappar faad ke at the end of
every sentence, describing Babaji, he closed on a mischievous note saying “Now the
break will be……………” (implying Chappar faar ke). Everyone had a good laugh. But
Babaji clarified that the break will only be of half an hour. This drew more laughter.
Maintaining that time is not a healer, rather it is merely a tool to forget the incident,
Babaji warned the sadhaks on the fourth day of the Goa Shivir (English) that any
person or incident, we think about all day-long, whether with the emotion of sorrow
or happiness, gets stuck in the petals of the chakras. The grudges along with the
person against whom the grudges are held, stick on the petals of the various chakras.
So, consciously even if a human being forgets about the incident, the incident, the
emotions felt during the incident and the person involved is pinned on the petals of
the chakra. It is like a clock without battery, stuck in one position.
Ideally, every petal of every chakra is governed and presided over by a God and the
goddess. But instead of letting the God and the goddess preside over the chakras,
what we do is let the negative incidents rule the chakras. This automatically means a
blockage in the smooth flow of divine energy that will result consequently in a disease
ir disturbance in any aspect of life.
ShivYog healing is all about releasing the intense emotions and the image of the
people from getting stuck in the petals by activating the unawakened consciousness of
the chakra by receiving the grace of the Guru.
Babaji articulated that if you have performed some bad deed in the past, do not sit and
lament about it. Do 10 times better deeds than that and neutralize the incident. Seek
forgiveness and vow to yourself and the Almighty never to repeat this mistake ever in
the life. The day you do this, it will be the zero day. That means the past sorrow or any
bad karma for that matter will be totally destroyed.
Babaji urged all Shivyogis to remove the ambiguous terms like “May be”, “I feel so”,
“Perhaps” from their vocabulary since these phrases denote uncertainty and a
ShivYogi is form and certain about what he thinks, believes and does. Either it is yes
or it is no. There is no neutral ground.
The language of materialization is always the present tense, said Babaji, adding that “I
don’t want…………….” Is wrong sentence construction if one has to materialize
anything in life. Because when one says I don’t want, one will have to refer to the
negative thing. For example when we say “I don’t want to be a failure”, what we will

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 38

 
 
 visualize is failure. So, be very clear. Just say what you want. Just say I want to be a
successful person. Don’t mention the failure, the disease, the sorrow and the misery.
There’s absolutely no need of using such a language to mention the negative aspects.
The conscious mind has only the 4% of the power to visualize and materialize,
whereas the subconscious mind has 96% power to achieve the goals. A crystal
pendulum is a perfect instrument to showcase how the visualization of the positive
goals by the subconscious mind has higher vibrations than the superficial desires in
the conscious mind. Babaji showcased this using a crystal dowser.

Day 4
Sadhaks from Canada welcomes Babaji with Shivyogi Matwala…
Babaji loves the bhajan. Now Babaji takes the mike. Everyone is dancing with Shivyogi
matwala.
Baba said “I don’t miss India too much abroad. Shivyogis over there make me feel at
home with same warmth, same food”.
Recall only the happiest moments to strengthen emotional body. If you’re sorrowful
all the time, it’s time to meditate.
Laughter is soap to remove dirt or garbage of harsh words from others.
Person with issues can't grow spiritually. Do the aatma chintan or introspection.
Celebrate the togetherness of married life. Walk together even if you give the logic
that your views don’t match.
Your companion in life must be like your best friend. No artificiality, Frankness and
true love.
One psychic impression multiplies like binary fission, producing the same number of
more impressions  2 makes 4.
Babaji asks Gurumaa to speak. Huge roar in the auditorium Appreciating the love and
respect she receives.
Never hurt anyone says Gurumaa. Give and take is good but make sure you don’t
hurt while achieving. She also adds that reaction has to be positive. We should work
to resolve problematic situation than react adverse. Gurumaa says the T.V. debates are
best way to learn why and how not to interact. By the end no one makes sense.
Loving and kindness should not mean compromising discipline & principles. If you
are guardian at home, make certain rules for the family. Be loving but firm in ensuring
the rules are followed. ShivYog says don’t bite. Only hiss. Be very firm in life. Loving
and firm. Good sanskaras in children will be instilled only when there is firmness by
parents. Wrong interpretation of ShivYog love & kindness is being gullible and
becoming punching bag for others.
Sadhana and nishkaam seva must for bhagyoday or raising the destiny. God give me
more so that I can give more to others without any hidden motives.
Non injury or ahimsa must for Shivyogis.
When it comes fulfilling your responsibility, do not shy away from being firm. Do the
dharma. If Dharma calls for you to discipline others, then even strictness will not be
injurious. It will be non injury. Also be careful that sycophancy, buttery do not count

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 39

 
 
as love and kindness. Good words with bad intention count as paap karma. The
bhaavna or intention must be pure at all times. Ahimsa at all levels especially words
will strengthen your subtle bodies.
A Shivyogi will not only emphasise on words but also intention behind the words.
Yogi means that the person may be physically on this planet but he is united
simultaneously with the divine.
The higher bodies must remain connected to the infinite divinity.
The intention must always be to serve the creation of the Almighty selflessly.
God will not gain anything from your good deeds. It is you only who will be biggest
winner.
Running after black dogs as part of lowbrow tantrik remedies & calling that seva is
cheating. That isn’t truthfulness.
That’s why you have taken birth to do good deeds and ascend. Because even animals
do their own good.
What separates humans from animals is compassion and nobility. Inculcate that in
yourself.
The will to wipe tears off others will make you a divine being from human. Enormous
benefits of selfless seva.
Sadhana and seva a must every day for all Shivyogis.
Guru is the one who removes the darkness. Disciples are blinded by illusion. Guru is
in a difficult situation. He can see the fire erupting but can’t utter on the face. But
Guru knows that the individual has to learn the lesson. His job is to point out
indirectly. There is a high purpose with which a Guru enters your life. Sadhana and
charity are only direct solutions he can give. Guru Bakyam is Param Bakyam. The
Guru is all knowing. He can see everything. He can’t tell you your mistake directly.
You have to surrender.
Babaji's advice for mothers: Do not project too much worry on your children. You will
create deep psychic impressions. Marriage is not just the attraction of the body.
Marriage is the union of the emotions and the soul.
Whatever problem you have today it’s interconnected with a past incident which has
created a trigger response of the problem.
In turiya awastha achieved through ShivYog meditation, you can interact with any cell
of the body and heal it.
For example stress of rejection of someone else's efforts not giving due cause’s kidney
problems, so to heal it, whenever Babaji takes us in the state of perceiving truth we can
release the incident. As the stress of rejection in kidney is removed, you get healed
instantly. Decade long problems get perfect.
Problems of eyes begin when we say things like these with emotion "I don’t want to
see his face" In childhood, there are incidents which create a strong emotion of
wincing and repulsion Seeds of eye disease.
To the negative utterances, visualize the person uttering positive things. Don’t get
irritated.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 40

 
 
 Write in the golden book what kind of life you want. Think only what you want. Don’t
think about problem.
Make yourself so radiant with divinity that even your family ascends in your aura.
Think of the pros & cons of anything you wish. Will the materialization of the wish
have any negative effect?
If you are an NRI but want to materialize settling in India, first think how you will
earn here, where you will live etc.
If I grow spiritually, my family will also ascend.
The best way to heal every aspect of your life, just heal all 5 bodies. Every area of life
will rectify on its own.
Never bring kartabhaav in any facet especially in healing. Otherwise negativity of
others will stick to you. Even while doing charity, thank the beneficiaries. Never bring
a sense of superiority. Doer is only Shiva.
The channels of negativity open when you attribute the remedying of others' sorrows
to yourself. You just become the medium. The real showman is Shiva. You only
become His agents.
Babaji says "some years back I stopped teaching healing because people had began
taking credit for the healing and suffered a lot as a result".
These siddha gurus have meditated for years and received the healing energy of
Shiva. You must realize that the Kartapurush is only one. He and only he has the
power to rid anyone of the misery.
Deep healing meditation for two hours now draws to a close. What a fabulous evening
this has turned out.
He's not an agent of Shiva. He is Shiva himself. What powerful healing has done?
Kundalini awakening in healing. Superb!
One of the sadhaks daughter was suffering from dysfunctional joints. She could not
stand. It was pitradosh. Because of her, everyone got to perform the ascension of their
ancestors. Mind Blowing Day. Fantastic Session.

Day 5
Namah Shivay! Garba festival came in early for the 3000-odd sadhaks sitting in the K
K Birla Auditoium in BITS, Pilani campus on the last day of the Goa Shivir (English)
on Tuesday which saw Babaji, Gurumaa, Ishanji, Geetanjaliji, Kavita Ji and all the
sadhaks in total dancing mode.
The hall became one big dance floor in the last session with a succession of peppy
divine numbers being sung by a choir of 30 Indian expatriate sadhaks representing
various countries. From Punjabi 'Mata ki bhentein' to Gujarati Navratra bhajans, all
were belted out with extreme passion and vigour.
If in the morning the sadhaks witnessed the dance of the Kundalini through a very
deep healing meditation of 2 hours, the afternoon was reserved for a veritable
Dandiya Raas. And did the sadhaks enjoy or what. The dancing fever spread so far &
wide that by the end of it all, no one was sitting on their seats.
Young and old, male and female, married & unmarried, Indians & foreigners, all were

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 41

 
 
either near the stage, oscillating up & down in rhythmic movements, in Garba circles
or standing before their seats, clapping, cheering, pirouetting & having the time of
their lives.
Babaji's damroo came out for the second time in Goa to enliven the party.
Ishanji along with his sister Geetanjaliji and spouse Kavita ji too plunged in the special
moment with energetic claps, smiles, sporadic bursts of laughter & reluctant prancing.
If the Guru himself is such a "bindass" or happy-go-lucky soul, the disciples are bound
to enjoy this liberation to enjoy life like there is no tomorrow.
So when a moving toy car, shot free by Ishanji, wheeled between Babaji's holy feet,
everyone had a good laugh. And when Ishanji drew near Babaji's seat to retrieve the
car, even as he was singing Satanam Shree Wahe Guru, Babaji too laughed aloud with
the sadhaks.
Angry bird toys, and moving toy cars were all crawling on the stage. And Babaji
cherishing every single moment like a small innocent baby.
Such and much much more fun proved to be a fitting finale to the fascinating few
weeks of the 2014 ShivYog summer in Goa.
What can words do to describe the stupendous 2 weeks in Goa. Words are insufficient.
Pictures may reveal more but, they too like words, have their limitations especially
when revealing the divine antics of Babaji.
Moments with Babaji automatically assume a certain sense of transcendence which
cross the realms of narration either through written or spoken words. And even
photos and videos fail to fully capture Babaji's acts of divine brilliance. They can only
give it a good enough try.
For the one last time from Goa in 2014, Babaji emphasized a great deal on the need to
go closer to nature. He said, "On weekdays we twiddle our fingers and are glued
undividedly to our laptops. On weekends, we twiddle our fingers again. This time on
the remote control of the television, to which we are hooked on and booked off for the
whole day."
He added, "To thoroughly unwind, you must switch off digitally. One day, just keep it
as me time."
In the one day devoted entirely to yourself, do these things:
1) Keep the cell phone switched off.
2) Visit a natural place – a river, a garden, a forest, a sanctuary, a mountain range.
Feel the trees, the air, the sunshine, the water, the clouds.
3) Try eating only raw fruits throughout the day.
4) Be with the family.
Benefits of reserving a day for yourself in this manner:
1) Enhances longevity.
2) Rejuvenation of all the cells of the body.
3) Energy level and functioning of various organs significantly change in the right
direction.
4) Ageing does not affect work capacity.
5) Rapid increase in work efficiency.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 42

 
 
 6) Improved temperament.
7) More patience, tolerance and will to enjoy life.
8) Rise in self-confidence, self esteem and improvement in relationship with
others.
9) Freedom from being imprisoned in a fixed, boring and monotonous lifestyle of
all work and no play in reality (TV viewing or digital unwinding is not counted
as rest).

Babaji further stated that from nature we learn so much. The biggest teaching from it
being the idea of absolute freedom as birds and animals show. “You will not any bird
or animal tensed, worried, stressed out and to overcome such stress, resorting to
smoking, drinking and drugs. This is so because they flow with nature. Fixed routine -
fixed waking up time, fixed sleeping time, fixed eating time. We too must bring a
sense of rhythm in our lives. Time-table for meditation, for sleeping, for eating so on
and so forth.”
Today that the people of the cities have become so weak in comparison to those in the
villages is a pointer to the fact that the people in the cities have drifted from nature.
And as one distance oneself from nature, the cells of the body begin to weaken. “Work
full throttle when at your professional desk but when you are off it, you must learn to
switch off completely,” said Babaji.
Issuing a strict advisory against alcoholism, Babaji contended, “I have not forbid
Shivyogis from having any kind of food or drinks. But I plead and request all
Shivyogis to please follow at least one rule in life very very strictly. Say “NO” to
Alcohol, Smoking and Drugs.”

Namah Shivay! Warm hugs, long lost friends, pleasantly surprising encounters with
old sadhaks acquaintances, sadhaks coming in from across the world, evening kirtans
complete with instruments in the sprawling lawns of the BITS campus, benign dogs
eating ice-cream and what not. Goa Shivir is the ultimate festival of the spirit of
ShivYog. Excellent arrangements by the humble Sunil Pedenekar ji and his seva team
have always attracted the cream of ShivYog Shivirs to this celebration state, In 2014
too Babaji cleared heavy spiritual arrears of the sadhaks, who were floating by the end
of the intensive healing sessions.
And after big-ticket reforms in their five bodies, it is now up to the sadhaks to reach
newer heights, keep their spirits soaring and script a glorious and healed future. After
receiving deep healing of their body, mind and soul from Babaji, it is now up to the
sadhaks to also multiply the spiritual gains by loving everyone unconditionally,
accepting everyone the way they are and forgiving everyone. And the start, as Babaji
said, has to be made from your own self. The Shivir is long over but its spirit continues
to linger. Long live the divine party spirit of Goa Shivir. High raise the happiness
index of all Shivyogis. Gratitude to Babaji. Namah Shivay!
And the best of them all. Babaji doing the Garba dance. Can it get any better? The last
day of the English Shivir in Goa will be a one which the sadhaks will not forget for
their lifetime. Babaji summed up the spiritual carnival with a grand Garba dance
party.
Rollicking time. Exhilarating experience to see Babaji do the Garba.

 Bangalore Shivir September 2014
Quick Highlights of Siddha & Shambhavi Healing Sadhana :

Day 1
Babaji says, this Shivir is going to be a scientific Shivir not a religious one. It is
after 2yrs that Babaji is here. He says, he has a lot of memories of this place and
happy to see the sadhaks growing.
o Research shows a large percentage of people have heart attacks on Monday
mornings because of high stress at jobs. When you don’t like your job, you create
stress.
o Stress is nothing but Negative Psychic Impressions. These negative impressions
become the cause to negative trigger responses, which then become psychosomatic.
All your problems are psychosomatic.
o If I am calm and peaceful outside, I have to be calm and peaceful inside too. Not
peaceful outside and tornado inside.
o The negative psychosomatic impressions reach the subconscious mind and the cycle
goes on with multiplication of those impressions.
o Repeated triggers and impressions then start manifesting into a physical disease.
o Babaji educates how toxins get accumulated in the physical body and how the
common man can learn these simple things to prevent disease.
o Detoxification of the body is crucial. 3% of the toxins in the body are released
through stools. 7% through urine. 20% through skin (sweat). Rest 70% are released in
breath.
o Babaji asks to check if we perspire because sweating is important and which if not
checked, in old age we will find ourself running multiple times to the washroom due
to heavy load on kidneys.
Babaji talks about protein supplements just to make a six pack body. He laughed
loudly when he said it is like a red cockroach lying belly up with those packs.
o Eat as much as possible, simple and natural food.
o The most scientific food, he says, is the South Indian food. Not the polished rice
and genetically tampered food but the simple poor man’s food.
o In good old days, even gods used to eat Dal Bhaath or rice and Sambhar.
o Some yogacharyas do everything, simple food, yoga, satvik life but then are
depressed or ill at times. it is because detoxification has not happened in the 5 bodies.
It has been restricted to just the physical body. This can be practiced by internal
yoga, that is the ShivYog.
o Your goals must be clear to the extent that if you are asked why you have come to
ShivYog Shivir, you must respond confidently.
o Your Goal should be from sadness to happiness to bliss. Make this an objective.
o “Everything happens step by step, drop by drop. it took me my whole lifetime of
Sadhana and only after that ShivYog was revealed to me.”

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 44

 
 
o “You are all so blessed to receive it easily after I come to you and reveal it.”
o “I found that people who eat simple foods also have physical problems and I dug
deeper and found that the food itself is tampered with, it is poisoned, with
chemicals, I am not mincing my words.”
o “I am now teaching people that you can multiple farm yields four to five times with
pure food. With this wisdom even the cow milk produce has increased in good
quality. This is when cows are taken proper care of and stop all kind of
manipulations like hormonal injections.”
o Sadhaks have used ShivYog processes on dying trees that were non-productive and
the trees revived and started giving tasty fruits.
o Sadhaks have restored epidemic ridden farms through ShivYog.
o The cosmic power of ShivYog can bring molecular change in the seed.
o Maharishi Dhanvantri has said that you must eat tejomay food, which is life-giving
food that is full of prana. We are not eating food but we are eating energy. This need
not be practiced only by farmers but even you can do it in your kitchen garden and
see.
o Butterflies, bees, birds are disappearing because of all these chemicals. This is an
indication of catastrophe.
o “If you do this dedicatedly, I can assure you of a fulfilling change in farming. 3%
fertility is there in soil, rest 97% we have to activate.”
o “The land where rishis meditated have become fertile. I’ll give you my own example.
In Alwar, I used to meditate for many years where it was completely arid with solid
chunks that were like sand, with stones and thorny bushes. Today if you visit
Gaushala you will see only greenery with fertile soil.”
o Another example is in Lucknow Ashram. “We performed homa in three-four places
where the builder showed us the prospective ashrsam, but he showed us the wrong
places and then we were told that these were not the final land. Then lastly, he
showed us a parched land, stony and we were advised to put gympsum to the soil.
We were told that the water would be bitter because there was lot of alkalinity there.
I meditated there. There were many snakes under that ground. When the soil diggers
came and evacuated mud, there were more snakes than mud. I used to communicate
with the snakes telling them that this is your land and you are rightfully here, but we
wish to do some holy work here, so requesting if you could shift to the forest area. I
prayed to all beings there, physical and astral. They are all blessed and went. I told
that for you, I will create an annashketra here, because the people who would eat
there would emit the vibrations of satisfaction. That vibration of satisfaction was
passed on to the beings. after that we hit the borewell and believe it or not it is sweet
water. I said it is Ganges’ water. People tested it because Ganges water does not have
salt precipitate. The size of every fruit if you see there is almost double and they
grew very fast.
o You must be humble and never snatch anything even from other beings like birds or
plants.
o Communication is very much possible through vibrations because creatures
understand and decode these vibrations. We have forgotten this sense faculty.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 45

 
 
 o In ShivYog, we say we are not responsible for the loss of your disease there is only
one way to get it back, you will have to start rethinking and creating negative
impressions.
o Avoid intellectual manipulation. There is either yes or no there is no maybe, there is
no try. This maybe cannot be visualized. If you ask a picture to be sketched of
someone doing something, you can draw. You can either draw or you cannot draw.
Try drawing someone who is trying to do something. It looks true but deep within
we know it is not true, over a period of time I then start believing what I am saying is
true.
o We have spoilt our sensory perceptions and become so gross that we cannot hear
subtle voice of our own spiritual guides. You are never alone. They are always there.
Many times Guru guides you this way but when we are so gross, we cannot hear or
feel him. How to become gross. By developing the ego, greed and resentment with
resentment and jealousy we are always focused on others.
o Do self-analysis and you will know how much stock of Fear, Greed, Anger, Sadness,
Lust, Jealously, Attachment, Ego you have.
o There is no “your God” and “my God”. There is nothing like “my God is superior
than yours”. There is only one. Numerable individual consciousness but one infinite
consciousness.
o God is the state of the Nirguna Nirakara Avastha. Shivoham Shivoham Shiva
Swaroopam.
o All are creators, even before coming to ShivYog, all were creators. even a diseased
person is a creator - he is creating disease.
o After practicing ShivYog, what happens is that all the negative factors are not
suppressed or hidden but released.
o Best places to meditate - temples, gaushalas, river banks.

Day 2
o 200% life is the Goal of ShivYog. 100% External (Bhog) & 100% Internal (Moksha).
o Develop an attitude to make the best, not average or medium. Efforts and time
taken are the same. it is only the attitude that has to be changed. It is only what you
choose.
o Take your job with Highest Self-Esteem and pride.
o Be the best in everything, best husband, best wife, best son, best father, best mother.
o You Must have a Goal in Life.
o Every day ask yourself, “Have I grown more than what I was yesterday? Have I
improved myself from what I was yesterday?”
o People say we want Self-Realization. But it has to gradually start from the basic
level to higher and highest level. You start from limitations and end with no
limitations or infiniteness.
o Limitations are Anger, Procrastination, Laziness, Fear, Negative Reactions etc. First
this basic level cleansing has to begin, only then can you move further up on the
ladder.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 46

 
 
o Write down everything you do in the day. You will run into pages what you feel you
are doing or have to do. Then read and categorize every task into 3 classifications :
A. Something that if you do not do will affect your life drastically or can cost
your life.
B. Medium priority. Okay if not done.
C. Does not matter if not done.
Then select A and tear off B and C. Focus on A. Focus on top priorities. Now it is easy
to focus than the 4-page work.
o You have the Power to Choose.
o You say liberation. Liberation from what? Liberate from Limitations First.
o Liberation does not mean leaving responsibilities, leaving family and lazily sitting in
one corner.
o You are on a journey in the chariot of this body.
o Everyday, do Self-Analysis. Find out your limitations and break those limitations.
o Breaking your limitation is the first step towards liberation. How to break
limitations? By ShivYog Sadhana.
o Write down your limitations. Once one limitation is overcome, strike it out. Keep
doing this practice.
o Your helplessness is like the small elephant that is chained and as it grows up, it so
strongly believes that the chain is binding it, that even after growing up, a small
piece of chain can bind it to one place and limit it.
o It is proved in ShivYog Sadhana in the very first meditation that disease has
disappeared, but it is your faith and belief in the disease that makes you helpless.
o Another limitation is that my every action is dependent on “log keya kahenge”,
needing approval from everyone around and also recognition.
o Everything you feel is impossible, you have the power to make it possible. The
power, the infinite giant is in you and by practicing ShivYog, you will awaken it.
You just start walking and the chain will break.
o Since many lives, you may have not done Sadhana and meditated, and that habit will
make you give more preference for TV, newspapers, tea, etc.
o Develop a belief and break the habitual patterns.
o Similar is the belief that you cannot attain self-realization in one life time and it will
take multiple life times.
o Start with a challenge to break one small limitation everyday – one bad habit. Start
with smaller ones and once you gain victory over it, you will start breaking the
bigger ones.
o Pledge to yourself that during this lifetime I am going to grow and every day. I will
break at least one of my limitation, one of my barrier, one of my negative belief, one
of my bad habit and see you will be very happy. You will find that what you used to
think is impossible is now very easily possible for you.
o You will realize that what you used to think is a miracle is no more a miracle but a
way of life and a normal thing.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 47

 
 
o Yogis after Self-Realization find they are omnipresent. A limiting belief is that how is
this possible when the body is made up of bone, blood and muscles. This is very
much possible because if you look closely your body is made up of organs, organs
made of cells, cells made of atoms, atoms made of vibrations. Can you separate your
vibrations from others or can you stop others’ vibrations coming to you? You are
even breathing in what others are breathing out which is their dead cells. Can you
separate that?
o This is why Self-Realized persons do not feel themselves separate from others. Can
a portion of water say that I will stay clean and the rest of the water be impure? It is
not possible. You are part of everything. When someone suffers, a part of it comes to
you too. That is why Shivyogis want everyone to be happy,
o “People ask me how will they measure they are progressing? I ask them to check
their reactions. If your attitude is changing then you are growing, if not, you are not.”
o When I see negativity in others, I do not see exactly what they are but I only see
my own reflection. If you feel everyone is excellent then you are excellent. If you say
some are good and some are bad, then a part of you is good and part of you is bad. If
someone says you are dangerous, then you are dangerous.
o If a person is having stomach ache, what will he say? My stomach is aching or I am
responsible for making my stomach ache? For remedy, will your stomach have to do
something or you have to do something? It is not the fault of the cells of your
stomach which are moving in dissonance. It is the fault of your part of consciousness
that is causing that dissonance.
o If you watch TV debates, one person says it is fine, one person reacts adversely and
one person is quiet. Reactions are all different according to their own perceptions. 3%
is the actual action that has taken place but 97% is how you react to it. And your
reaction comes from the belief system that is coming from you. If you erase your
limitations, then you will find your reactions reducing.
o Shivyogis have Sam Bhaav, where there is no reaction but only a neutrality and
witnessing.
o Whatever you are is the Sum Total of Your Beliefs. Your belief is what you think all
the time. What you think you are emitting vibrations of that kind all the time. You
thus similarly attract similar vibrating people or situations. If you think another
person is bad and going to provoke me, then you are sending vibrations from your
subconscious mind to “provoke me” and that is received at the subconscious of the
other person who gets the impulse “provoke him”. Thus you create your situation.
That is why we say “I am 100% responsible for what I am or what happens to me.”
o One person keeps on succeeding and one person fails in everything he does. This is
all because of the stored impressions from similar past experiences. You can choose
to change it.
o We always expect the other person to do something first to us. You have to first
change and give what you wish to receive.
o If you keep giving unconditional love you will see over a period of time
unconditional love coming back to you. If you keep giving cooperation then you will
see cooperation coming back to you.
o We want to scare people to do something we wish to have, which will never happen
because you emit a wrong vibration.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 48

 
 
 o If you have a limitation of not knowing to swim, what will you do? You will have to
first have that desire, then you will find a coach and then patiently you will learn
swimming. Same way if you feel you have a limitation, like not being able to
meditate, you have created a desire and you have come to ShivYog, practice it
patiently and break that limitation through practice.
o ShivYog Meditation is not a Technique but Your Total Surrender to the Higher
Energies and meditation will happen spontaneously.
o We cannot raise our consciousness on our own. We have to surrender to the higher
energies that will take over and do the needful.
o If you are weak and someone threatens you, you will cry and cry to the world and to
God that the whole world is bad to you. What if the same threaten is given to a
boxing champion. He will only smile because he from within, knows his strengths.
You will see real Shivyogis not reacting to anything and are just calm to any and
every situation with a smile.
o With regular Sadhana, you will even see Physical Changes.
o Jealousy comes when you see the other person as a competitor, but when you know
truly that you are invincible and no one can take what you really have, then you will
just be happy.
o The day you finish off all your limitations, you will be self-realized.
o Start with smaller ones because you will begin changing your beliefs as you
overcome them. Then the higher ones can be easily tackled because by then you have
created a new belief system that it is possible.
o When all these limitations are cleared then a state will come when whatever you say
and whatever you think will start materializing.
o Everyday you will find changes. First a few people will be influenced and then a
little more and then more, but it all comes through unconditional.
o You start becoming more Simple and Humble. You will not need anything from
others. You will not need love from others, you become love.
o You will realize that only your presence is enough. Initially you were making
physical efforts. Now, with your only presence people start receiving.
o Even if you just think of your Guru, things start happening, you only have to learn to
connect.

Day 3
o It is a myth that Shree Chakra cannot be kept in the home, whereas Shree Chakra
brings Prosperity and Abundance. You do not have to do much rituals with it, every
morning a deep prostration to the Mother is more than enough.
o Be careful when you buy Shree Chakra (Mahameru). It has to be intact in once piece
and hollow from below.
o I always pray to the Mother that may all sadhaks have a little bigger house where all
can have their own meditation room.
o Sit on a woolen asan because when you meditate, a lot of cosmic energies come into
you and without asan all gets pulled down into earth.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 49

 
 
o Do Sarpa kriyas, Sookshma kriyas and Prana kriyas before meditation.
o Those who are not able to do any exercise due to disability, do the sarpa kriyas and
over a period of time you will start getting healed.
o Fecal matter sticks to the intestinal walls and these are at times stuck on the walls
from years together. You can detoxify this through Shankh Prakshalan.
o Everything that happens to you is an illusion that you have created through your
own programming which you have to release.
o Perfect health, happiness and success is your birthright, you must claim it.
o Suffering and sorrow comes from ignorance.
o Never share your asanas with anyone because when you meditate the asan starts
vibrating at your frequency. After sometime that asan becomes 'siddh' or perfected
and next time you sit on it, it will help you ascend quickly to those vibrations.
o Yatha Sthan, Yatha Samay, Yatha Asan. Same place, same time, same asan is the
thumb rule for spiritual evolution.
o Your brain wave frequency keeps changing according to your emotions, thoughts
and feelings.
o I do not encourage the chips that play electronic mantras in loops because sound
influences your brain waves.
o The CDs of ShivYog have a different vibrational frequency that influences your brain
wave frequency to higher levels.
o Practice ShivYog Breathing, which is deep and complete inhalation and deep
complete exhalation without any break in between the breaths. If you keep practicing
this, lot of release of many lives will take place.
o Avoid discussing or talking about your experiences because when you focus on it
or dwell in it or discuss on it, you create similar impressions which means you are
putting back the garbage again.
o What you continuously keep thinking you keep sending similar signals to your
subconscious, which then starts working on the body to respond to those messages.
For example, one who does not want to see things that he does not like around will
keep saying "I cannot see this....." and since the subconscious has not studied
o In earlier times, Tulsi plants used to be at the homes, Tulsi emits positive radiations.
o I’ll give a lot of importance first to the energy levels of a home or office or shop.
o Even if a person whose planetary positiions or stars are good and 100%, a low
vibration space can bring his success rate down to 60%.
o A ShivYogi knows only positive and he will know how to change negative energy to
positive.
o You can study the energy of any house or place and from a distance you can measure
the energies & identify energy blockages and at the same time with help of ShivYog
energy, transmute those energies. Immediately positive changes can be seen.
o These Inner Vibrations are what materializes outside that comes from the inner
mind. What you really feel from deep within is the truth is what vibrates outside and
manifests itself as truth.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 50

 
 
 o If you are in a hot climate but if you can convince yourself it is cold by feeling it is
cold, the pendulum will indicate this is right.
o In disease relapse the same thing happens. When healing takes place, the
Intracellular Memory is cleansed and the healing takes place but with the person's
strong belief system about the disease, like the disease is incurable, the cells vibrate
back into the same state of dissonance.
o ShivYog has been creating Clinical Data and medical proof with healings because
now with the reports seen by the patients, they believe it and the healing is ever
lasting.
o Doctors have acknowledged ShivYog healing and in many cases they do ask whether
the patient is following ShivYog. Also there are cases where doctors are
recommending patients to do ShivYog healing.
o It we combine the Ancient Wisdom of India with the Modern Medicine indeed we
can help cure every disease.
o Stones have disappeared live and tumors have shrunk, cysts vanished within 20-30
minutes in many medical seminars attended by hundreds of doctors.
o Just learning this healing will not really help, one has to practice.

Day 4
Bangalore saw a double bonanza with the surprise gift of Durga Saptashati Beej
mantra deeksha and the Sadhana for pitru ascension. Not much notings today
because the entire day there were number of powerful healing sessions and also the
DSS and pitru ascension.
o Babaji's very strong message of this Shivir  "A Shivyogi cannot be an Alcoholic
and also  an Alcoholic cannot be a Shivyogi."
o Babaji said --- A man was supposed to pick one punishment and in the same room
there was alcohol, a dagger, beef and a girl of his daughter's age. The man, being a
Brahmin, knew that all these were very bad sins. He knew that it was a sin to even
touch a young girl. He knew it was a sin to take the dagger and kill himself as suicide
was a major sin. He knew that eating beef was sinful too. Then, he thought about the
liquor but justified it as the least sinful activity as he could drink and even do
something wash away that little sin.
So, he consumed alcohol, but the moment he was intoxicated he could not resist the
meat, so he ate the beef. His thinking capabilities had gone so low that he could not
think properly and seeing the girl, he got intimate despite resistance. By morning
when he woke up and all his intoxication had settled down, he realized what great
sins he had committed! Unable to bear this and with deep regret, he picked up the
dagger and killed himself. So, this shows what miserable things alcohol can do to a
human being and make him behave worse than an animal.
o Generally we tend to live in the presence of our limitations which we call it nicely as
our comfort zone.
o The real tyag or renunciation is to sacrifice the vasanas (addictions).
o You can do it all slowly, as you keep doing it you will see yourself emerging infinite.
o It is not really a big thing, everyday break one limitation.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 51

 
 
 o If you want to become a True ShivYogi and if you want to grow by imbibing the
teachings of ShivYog, then you first have to quit alcohol.
o It is a fad these days to drink and become a macho man. How can one drink and
become a macho man? He is a keeda (insect) man.
o Anyone who consumes Alcohol can Never be a ShivYogi.
o If you watch the person taking alcohol, it always starts with a small glass and over a
period of time will have very low confidence.
o You cannot rely on any word of a drinker. He can easily abuse anyone. He will easily
pounce on the weaklings, that is, the ladies of the house.
o It is all a journey of the soul from pashu bhaav to manushya bhaav to dev bhaav.
o A drinker falls into the pashu bhaav. He even degrades lower than the pashu bhaav.
He cannot think properly. He becomes a zombie.
o Create a willpower and ShivYog will help you. Ask your Guru from your inner
consciousness to help you stay away from vice.
o We have been to many rural areas where people have stopped drinking though no
one there were taught or preached anything. One by one the villagers stopped
drinking just by the positive vibrations. One regular drinker used to only pass by the
Karjat ashram and over a period of time, he just stopped drinking.
o An educated person came to me and said that his young son follows ShivYog and
why does he not quit. I told him that an illiterate villager has faith in the Guru and
believes in ShivYog. They trust that when a saint comes to their village and have full
faith and that is what works quickly.
o Say NO with Confidence. Call your Baba when you need help in saying NO to
drinks.
o Those who wear Contact Lenses and are doing the Mrisanjeevani Shambhavi
Sadhana do not wear them, rather use spectacles. As your eyesight improves, you
can keep changing your glass number until the day you do not require it.
o Your Inner Healing Power has the power to heal any and every disease.
o Just as the person has the power to create disease similarly the person has the power
to heal the disease.
o Take a strong vow to burn all negativities and Heal Yourself with your Tapobal.
o One way to exhaust your karma is through prarabdh karma where you actually go
through the suffering. Other is burn your sanchit karmas through your tapobal.
o This is the Shakti of cosmic energies and you will see great changes.
o Take your medical reports before Sadhana and then do for a week and then again
take medical reports.
o Pitru Ascension you can do when there is a pitru dosha or problems in life due to
the souls of family members, known or unknown, are lingering unsatisfactorily.

Day 5
o If you are not aware what you want to achieve in life then you cannot proceed
towards your Goal.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 52

 
 
o There are twelve houses in a Horoscope  Health, Education, Success, Prosperity,
Relationships, Father-Mother Sukh, Santan Sukh, Pati-Patni Sukh, Name & Fame.
o Who has decided the fate? Astrologer says that as per stars, life is going to take a
certain destiny.
o ShivYog says you can change your fate.
o Whatever unresolved issues you carried over from your past life as a sum total
decides what you are going to experience in this life.
o In other words who is the creator of your destiny? You. Earlier, you were creating
your destiny ignorantly.
o Now after you have been initiated into the path of ShivYog, you will create
everything knowingly.
o First of all, you must ask yourself what is your immediate Goal in life. What is your
Goal within one year, your Mid-Term Goal.
o If you decide your Goal clearly, then ShivYog will help you towards it.
o Any individual without a Goal is like a car without the steering wheel. You just start
the engine and you sit there without a direction to move towards.
o Every ShivYogi must have a certain Goal written in front of him. He must write
down his limitations and negatives that have to be overcome.
o Take a note book and write "Tum chahte keya ho"? What is it you want?
o Many say they use to go blank when it comes to writing what they want. I tell them
then write what they don’t want, what problems they have, etc. They say they can
write these easily. I tell them write them down and then convert it into their
opposites. "I am sick" change to "I am healthy" "I do not have money" change to "I
have everything in abundance."
o The Golden Book will help you manifest what you write.
o Everybody must write their own life script.
o Every night before sleeping, write in your Golden Book all that you want in the
"present tense". Do this minimum for 21 days. If not possible start with 2 weeks, if
not that, atleast with 7 days. Later increase.
o I am responsible 100% for whatever situation I am in. The moment I take
responsibility I am ready to change.
o You can never say it was because of my parents, government, politics etc. Nothing, it
is all your own responsibility.
o You have the power to change these circumstances by taking responsibility and
taking control of your destiny.
o The sanchit karmas that comprise negative beliefs and negative impressions are
stored in the sushumna nadi and chakras.
o The lower portion is tamoguni sanskaras, the middle portion rajoguni sanskaras, and
upper satoguni sanskaras. ShivYog makes you rise above all the three gunas to
become nirguna. This is the state which you see divine beings being depicted to be
sitting on lotus, the lotus which is symbolic to being unaffect by the three gunas.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 53

 
 
o As you heal yourself, it is not that you will only be sitting and receiving success, but
you will find yourself being guided in the right direction and working towards that
direction.
o Practice and see for yourself the results.
o Miracles will happen but know that healing is a part of the seva. The healing is done
by my Guru, my Gurumandala and Shiv-Shiva, so never fall into the temptation of
encouraging people to touch your feet.
o Do Not become a doctor. The healing is the power from the Guru, Gurumandala and
Divinity. Always be humble and offer gratitude to them. Never take credit. If the
power is misused it will go back.
o Also, Do Not become Full-Time Healer, go ahead and work with your life purposes.
o ShivYog Healing is a Seva not Profession.
o There is a Pharmaceutical Industry Outside and there is a Pharmaceutical Industry
Inside. The inside one has been in lock-out for so long.
o There physical toxins, mental toxins, emotional toxins and spiritual toxins. Spiritual
toxins are your Karmic toxins.
o Doctors can become the best healers and ShivYog will merge spirituality with
modern medicine.
o ShivYog doctors are actually yogis, who even with their regular practice become
clairvoyant.
o ShivYog has a special curriculum for doctors because they have dedicated their lives
to medicine and healing.
o When you help heal others you automatically help yourself.
o My Guru said, "Never become a Guru, always remain a Sadhak."
o At no stage can you say you have learnt everything. Infinity does not have a
destination.
o Ascension is a Continuous Process.
o With humbleness you will see abundance coming.
o The moment you say I am a healer or I am a special student of Babaji, then nothing
works.
o I generally do not meet anybody, but I meet everybody. Those who seek me I go
rushing to help them.
o So if anyone says I am very close to Baba, it is wrong. I am close to all those who call
me from within.
o I will be very happy if you help me help you make you grow every day.

 Mumbai Shivir November 2014

DAY 1
One of the busiest and glamorous cities of India – Mumbai, found it being visited by
a Siddha, where waited many sadhaks eagerly to visit or revisit their beloved Babaji.
Babaji walked into the 3500-packed Hall in East Matunga joyfully and spirited as
ever. Babaji, knowing that Mumbaiites have a different fast lifestyle pace, showers
equally flavoured wisdom and teachings of the Great Ancient Siddha Masters. The
current Shambhavi Level 2 Healing Shivir, saw the first day with words of wisdom
squeezing from the most ancient scriptures, but in the language and examples that
Kaliyuga can best relate and understand.
Babaji shared how ShivYog is the complete Yog of Vedic Wisdom that is to be lived
in practicality. On and often he shunned myths and superstitions of today’s world
and how not to fall prey to them by fear or greed.
Before beginning the Shivir, Babaji reminded how being present at the deep healing
programme is important for Mumbaiites. This, He suggested, one has to be apply in
all aspects of life – being present and expressing oneself fully. He related to His own
actions and body language that He uses while speaking, which indicated how
everything is from the core and how all five bodies are being used. This He
rechecked again and again by asking questions to sadhaks present and to raise hands
on how many would be truthful. Questions like how many don’t breathe fully or
how many think cranky things all the time, had few hands going up, which He
blessed and truly appreciated, for He said they had the courage to be truthful. He
reminded how being truthful is the first step to bringing change in oneself and how
bringing change in oneself is the first step to moving towards the changes we desire
and the destiny we plan to reach.
It was also a funny day as this first day of the Shivir Babaji, out of His many forms,
today was child-like and expressing it too like a jolly child. Many of His actions and
words and his giggles and laughter brought so much of joy and tears too in so many.
It was a treat for all, a day to begin with. It began with mild meditations followed by
deeksha by shaktipath in Shambhavi healing mantra and then followed by a deep
trance meditation in which Babaji introduced many to the world of Samadhi by
giving them a long glimpse of it.
Few important gems from the Shivir to share with you that would certainly benefit
you if you dedicate a few moments to read through these inputs every day, because
they contain His energy of His sankalp to reach you this, and if you are reading this,
it is meant to be. You would realize this by the time you finish reading all for the day.
o I am reminding you the very purpose of your taking birth – to reach the state of
Shivohum.
o Be every moment connected with your Guru.
o Many times if you observe obstacles you will see how the Guru is Himself blocking
your way saying “watch out”.
o Guru always shows His presence in multiple ways.
o All depends on how well the sadhak can decode it all because what the Guru does is
never directly.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 55

 
 
o Your life is precious. All look at human life for the final destination. Even Indra is
bound by prarabdh and has to descend to take human birth to have the Final
Ascension.
o A Karma Yogi is the one who witnesses everything while doing his karmas.
o We still are stuck believing in things like a Yogi is one who does not eat garlic and
onion because these are said to be tamasic food. In reality, you are Tamasic by your
karmas.
o Forget about accumulating a bad karma by harming someone, you create that karma
even by thinking to harm someone.
o Make sure that with every karma you do, there are no intentions of harming anyone
or manipulating anyone.
o ShivYog means the emerging of the Real Wisdom from you.
o ShivYog is beyond all Religions, it is the real Sanatan quality.
o In the beginning there was nothing but One Consciousness.
o I am Self-Illuminated and thus when darkness comes, I know that I do not need an
external light if I know how to light myself from within.
o Guru always teaches you that if you have a problem, you yourself are the Solution.
There is nothing to search outside, everything is within. You have infinite strength
within.
o Experience all which you feel you need to. A ShivYogi masters all experiences, will
check if everything is complete, if not will identify what is pending to be experienced
- from childhood, adulthood or whichever stage of life - and create to experience it.
o If a ShivYogi feels everything is experienced and is complete with everything, the he
should be such that he can pull up his prana and leave his body.
o This You is your True Identity that I am speaking to. I am not talking to the so-and-
so-You who is wearing a suit or is known as so-and-so in this world.
o When the soul leaves the body where does this so-and-so go? He is only a dead
body. I am talking to the one who leaves that so-and-so at death. I am talking to the
real you, so be fully present when I am talking to You.
o You might have taken leave from office but don’t take leave from here by being
present at home worrying about your child or at office worrying about work.
o Today, when I make you experience, your body is what will be here and your soul
will experience Higher Dimensions.
o I am big; I am small. I belong to higher caste; I belong to lower caste. I am well-
educated; I am not educated. My parents were great people; my parents were
nothing. My parents did a lot for me; my parents did not do anything for me. This is
all what you have as your Introduction.
o This you that you introduce yourself with all the time is dying every single day and
with every Happy Birthday. Birthdays are only lessening your mortal self.
o You say sodium has become less in your body. Are you a double roti or something?
You are Shiva! You are the creator! You can create sodium in your body and you can
balance sodium in your body.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 56

 
 
o You have not known to Rhyme your Rhythm and eventually your body goes out of
tune, which in your language you call disease. And, then you expect the doctor to
correct the music that you have been playing. It is as simple as understanding that
you played the wrong tune and so you have the wrong music.
o You are educated with all kinds of PhDs. I have come to teach you your inner PhD.
All the PhDs that you strive for like atomic PhD, etc are all within you.
o In ShivYog, you learn both, the Bajhya (Outer) Yoga and the Antar (Inner) Yoga.
o God comes in everyone’s life in the form of a Guru.
o We then don’t take the wisdom from the Guru but we begin then worshipping the
Guru. This is an easy way to escape the practicalities the Guru is teaching.
o You come in this world, earn, live with the “I” and die.
o Who dies? You do not die and you have never died. When you get to see your past
life, who is seeing that? Not the dead one but that is the real you.
o What dies is the outer you and what sees that death is the inner you. That is the real
you that has never aged and is ever youthful and the one which not a sorrow or
problem can touch.
o To touch the inner you, you have to first know the inner you well.
o If you do not like your destiny, then you should have the knowledge of erasing that
which is not allowing you to your preferred destiny and create the destiny you wish.
That is ShivYog.
o These are all from the Avdhoot lineage which was kept secret. The inner secret and
wisdom of ShivYog can Only be given from the vibrations of the Guru.
o This was always given from Guru to worthy disciples through the inner powers of
the Guru, which is all that I am doing.
o All Incurable Diseases can also be Cured. I say this with conviction because in the
past three years, many many doctors and researchers have conducted studies before
and after the shivirs of ShivYog and it is recorded that not a single incident in
patients came up that had not shown improvement or conditions worsened.
o In the recent Diabetes Prevention and Healing Shivir, the success rate of curing the
disease was 88%.
o You have your own Inbuilt Pharmaceutical Factory within that you have actually
locked out.
o If you wish, you really have the power to cure any disease 100% but you have to pay
the price for it by following the teachings honestly and sincerely.
o All disease come with Wrong Thinking and Negative Emotions. So you create your
own disease. And, so you have the power to heal it too.
o When tumours shrunk and stones vanished from kidneys, demonstrated live on
ultrasound, and people said I did a miracle and magic. It is not magic or miracle that
I did.
o Only think, if I can do magic with shrinking tumours, then imagine what a powerful
magician you would be who put the tumour and stone there in the first place,

DAY 2
Babaji mentioned about how we give the wrong education to children, whose minds
are so tender and so their vulnerable subconscious minds can absorb whatever harsh
words or wrong words are told to them even in ignorance. He mentioned about the
Humpty Dumpty poem which is taught to little children but carry all negative words
like sitting on a wall, having a great fall. The poem of Jack and Jill where he falls and
breaks his crown, etc. He mentioned how these negative impact words can easily
seep into the subconscious mind of children and create unwanted psychic
impressions that can be fixed with them for their whole life.
Babaji also mentioned about vibrations and how your vibrations makes impact on
not just human beings but also animals, plants and birds. He went on to tell a real
story of what happened when He was at the Lucknow ashram. Just a little more than
a year back Babaji had bought many cages containing hundreds of caged birds and
set them all free in Lucknow ashram. He mentioned how many were so traumatized
and handicapped that they could not even fly out of the cage even when the doors of
the cages were opened. To take care of the birds that were weak, they were let in the
space where Babaji was there.
When He was sitting there, a colourful & beautiful bird with a crown on its head
jumped on to Babaji’s tummy that it found comfortable and sat facing Babaji. It had
tightened its claws on Babaji, probably not to fall off. Then, Babaji looking at the bird
slowly chanting a single “Ommmmmmm…..” The bird loosened it’s grip. On the
second “Ommmmmmm” it loosened more and was kind of sleepy to the extent that
it toppled and fell on Babaji’s tummy. Babaji chanted again and it again toppled.
Then Babaji put his both hands around the bird and chanted “Ommmm….” The bird
toppled into his hands but this time dozed in his hands and fell asleep in his hands.
Thus, Babaji narrated the power of sound and the power of vibrations and the impact
it can have on life around us. Today also Babaji asked those who feel others are
responsible for their miseries to raise their hands and who feels they are themselves
responsible for their miseries to raise hands. Hands raised more for the second one.
Then Babaji asked those who did not raise also to now raise hands because these
were from the comfort zone.
Some more valuable gems from Babaji that may be contemplated upon today. Take
some time off and get connected with the words of Babaji and experience Him and
His valuable teachings because if you are focused and contemplative on these words
as a form of meditation, you sow the seeds of divinity in your mind and it also brings
in the enthusiasm to bring that change in your life for your ultimate good.
o A person is so much filled with the filth of unwanted things, that when the Guru
comes into his life for the first time, he is deeply buried under heaps of filth that he
has himself created. When he asks “where are you?” a low feeble sound comes from
beneath “I am here under this heap…." Guru then says, “Okay, do not worry. I have
come…” and begins cleaning the heap until the person is able to at least be
uncovered. Then, the Guru gives the broom to the person and teaches him how to
clean up completely.
o All are stuck in onion and garlic. We are not thinking of the wrong emotions of
hatred, jealousy, etc that we carry within us. No one wants to think about these but
things like garlic.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 58

 
 
o Stuck in things like male can chant a mantra and female cannot chant a mantra.
Females cannot do puja for five days in a month. All such kind of statements are
made by those who have not yet done Sadhana.
o The Soul does not have any Gender. Even in human body, every man has woman
qualities and every woman has the qualities of man. Males also have female
hormones and females have male hormones but the only thing is that in each gender,
the quantities of the opposite exists but in lesser quantities.
o We throw our Ignorance on Religions and Philosophies. Who are the 36-crore
Gods? They are not separate Gods but are the 36 crores different forms of creation
existing as plants, trees, animals, insects… all the particles of creation.
o Your purpose of taking human birth is to clear all such self-limiting beliefs and
emotions and purify. That is why it is known as Nar se Narayan ki Yatra (Journey
from Human-state to God-like-state), from finite to infinite.
o The Jeevatma comes with the chariot of the body to which are attached the horses
which are the senses. The charioteer is the mind.
o What makes you think that humans are superior to animals? In that sense the
animals are far superior to humans because they can sense what you cannot. They do
not worry, visit doctors, put dentures when old….
o We call ourselves superior to animals but do carry animal tendencies doing all things
inferior to animals through the (pashu bhav animal tendencies).
o Out of the 24 hours of the animals tendencies, spending at least 4 hours everyday for
developing human tendencies is worthwhile.
o The Win-Lose Attitude (I win, you lose) is Pashu Bhaav. Losers in life have this
attitude because when one wishes that they win by putting others to lose, the law of
karma acts reversely.
o The Win-Win Attitude (You win, I win) is always a winner. This is Dev Bhaav.
o Your life has to have a direction. Without direction it is like having a costly car
without a steering wheel.
o It is not important where you stand today but what is more important is from there
where you choose to go.
o If your eye is fully on the Goal, you will reach it for sure.
o Only those who are peaceful and happy can work for others, as in Loka Samastha
Sukhino Bhavanthu. When you yourself are not in peace and happy, you cannot
bring peace and happiness to the world.
o ShivYog is not Superstition, that God can get angry and all that. God is the purest of
pure energy and anger is lower energy. This is all the wisdom of the Upanishads.
o Your body and mind have toxins that need to be cleansed to purify.
o Detoxification happens naturally with 3% happening through sanitation, 7% through
urination, 20% through perspiration and the rest 70% through breath. So if your body
does not sweat and if breathing is improper, all these ways of detoxification are
blocked and you start accumulating toxins.
o I am not asking to follow your God or my God, but to follow the self.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 59

 
 
o Connect within. If you can connect with that God within you then then nothing
external will be needed.
o Put forth your Goal, then find what is it you need to realize that Goal.
o If you are capable of Materializing your Disease then are you not capable of
Dematerializing it too?
o The worse the disease, the more powerful that person is, because for one to create
such chronic and great diseases imagine how much of efforts the person must have
put.
o Only thing is that all this was created unknowingly. Now, know your power and
reverse the process using the same power of materialization.
o Message of ShivYog is to never feel Helpless but to take stand and work it out to
reverse all situations which are not favourable to you.
o In ShivYog is taught the Power of Alchemy. If anything is given to a ShivYogi, even
poison is converted into amrit.
o Whole time you are choosing because it is only you (humans) who have been given
the power to choose by God. You choose everyday - your food, your TV channels.....
Why then are you not then choosing how your body should be, how your life should
be, how your emotions should be? Why can't you choose Self Discipline?
o Self-Manipulation is moving out of self discipline. Self-manipulation comes when
one has the habit of manipulating others.
o Ahimsa means non-violence but with Shuddh Bhavna. Some people think they are
non-violent. They say someone did bad to them but are proud that they have not
retaliated but on the other side they say, "They did bad to me. I did not have to do
anything but see, how God has punished them. Even that thought is violent because
it still has impure intentions.
o You have to Break Your Comfort Zones. Start breaking smaller comfort zones. Write
down your limitations and work to eradicate them.
o Vairagya (detachment) is not leaving everything and sitting. Detachments come after
achievements. You then keep discarding your lower desires and keep looking for
higher ones. For example, you first want a bike but gradually when you desire and
achieve a car your vairagya for your bike. Thus, when all your desires are
experienced and satisfied with your achievements you begin having higher, purer
and subtler desires.
o In reality, if you have strong Tapobal, your prana bal increases as you grow but in
average humans it keeps shrinking.
o The whole process of self-realization is about Detoxifying the toxins of the physical,
mental and emotional bodies. Self-Realization is within you itself that will emerge
with purification.
o Nothing can be invented in this creation as we call it. Everything was already there, it
was only discovered.
o Everything outside is a projection of your inside. If a positive person comes into your
life then its your own good reflection and if someone negative comes up in your life,
then somewhere in some corner within you that aspect of negativity was there and
that is why it is being reflected outside.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 60

 
 
o When I ask  what is it you want? you are confused. You don’t know and all you
know at that time, is that you have problems. But if I ask you to list the problems,
you would do so without any delay. That is okay, write out your problems then.
After writing, write the opposites and that is what is your "Tum chahte keya ho?". If
you say, you have anger, you are looking for peace. If you say you have disease, you
are looking for health.... and so on.
o People come to me asking to free them from their problems and when I ask them to
first become calm, they cannot. To create peace, you have to first settle down. Unless
the frequencies of the brain are not relaxed and until your emotions do not settle
down you cannot create the opposite of the chaos, which is peace.
o In Turiya Avastha whatever you ask for you would receive quickly.
o The best thing is that when you are in turiya avasta you cannot think of anything
negative because firstly you cannot enter itself into the state of turiya unless you are
positive.
o You need to have faith and belief but true belief and not the imposed faith. Belief can
only come with Knowledge & Experience.
o With every good experience rises knowledge of that experience. Replace that with
the negative knowledge created from the negative experiences. This is the best way
to Replace the Negative Belief System.
o Whenever you think or do anything logical too, listen closely within, there will be a
feeble voice guiding you from within.
o Whenever you do anything wrong, your inner voice will clearly indicate it if you
truly listen. You all have guardian angels and guides. Your Guru also guides.
o The real You never wants to do anything wrong and will never do, and hence you
cannot escape after doing any wrong. I do wrong, I see it, I punish myself. Hence
forgiveness is very, very important.
o God never punishes. It is I only who sins and I only who punishes myself.
o It is very important to forgive and liberate yourself. Without forgiveness, you cannot
proceed further in Sadhana.

 Singapore Shivir December 2014
 Singapore Seva Team  Interesting Lessons

Delicious & Hygienic Bhandara

The Bhandara or Prasad at Singapore is quite famous for its delicious flavour. When
dug deeper, it came to be known that the small but devoted & efficient Organising
Seva team had dedicated members who also tasted the food of the caterer with all
their taste buds fully opened to test the flavour & quality of ingredients.
Lessons for all the Seva teams in enhancing the quality & preparation of Bhandara
at their Shivirs.

Punctuality
If the allotted time of the break was one hour, all the sadhaks used to be seated 15
minutes before the start. Members of the Seva team were deployed to make
announcements in the corridors about 15 minutes prior to the start time of the Shivir,
another lesson for those attending & those organising. And the hall was not a place
to engage in idle gossip, chanting substituted chatter.

Be in a Line
In another act of impeccable discipline, a great deal of important was given to
standing in queue, be it for the washroom, food, divine shop or for any other activity.
No one broke lines & everyone ensured that rules were respected, another beautiful
lesson.

Pure Intention, More Grace

Sadhaks attended the Shivir with the sole intention of releasing the negative
emotions & habits rather than passing time. Seeing their willingness to grow &
resolve to heal themselves, Babaji rewarded this sincerity by personal emotional
release on mic & ensuring the lessons from the individual release were learnt by all.

Bonhomie with a Siddha

Babaji provided an outlet to all the sadhaks in the former of personal meets in
country batches. He heard out all sadhaks from a particular country during the break
time & it made it that much easier for Babaji to understand their psyche & behaviour
patterns & effect a powerful healing on all.

Uninhibited Sankirtan
The sadhaks never really cared too much about what others might think of them or
judge them if they sing. So what came out were not musical vibrations but the
deepest feelings from the core of the heart, striking an instant cord with Babaji.
The Siddha himself said that he will be singing a few of the unique bhajans sang here
in the next shivirs. He is listening to those songs in the taped recordings so that he
can deliver them in an even better way. Kudos to the fantastic sadhak singers.

When sadhaks were singing the bhajan Amma Pamreshwari. The rhythm was so
divine that Babaji instantly went into a trance and the shower of blessings began
automatically the moment he sat, even before he could speak a word. It sums up
the strong vibes which positively influenced Babaji's mood.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 62

 
 
An Encore
A plethora of factors, some of them mentioned above, combined to make Babaji so
spiritually satisfied that he committed to an advanced healing programme next
December in Singapore.
A lesson for all the regions looking to get Babaji to shower higher grace.

Hospitality
Anyone can present an impeccable picture of hospitality & service by serving Babaji
wonderfully. But very few can earn the tag of being genuinely compassionate and
ensure that the warmth as extended to Babaji is provided for all the sadhaks at the
shivirs as the Seva team in Singapore did so beautifully.
At the end of the Shivir, sadhaks hugged and thanked the organiser, and the brilliant
Seva Team who had the knack of springing a rabbit out of the hat, just when one
thought they are in doldrums.

Young Seva Team

Babaji has always maintained that till the time one has energy, one is youthful. The
Singapore Seva team is purely driven by the young & energetic. They have the
uncanny knack of being highly resourceful & getting things done at a very short
notice in a country like Singapore where things are done in a scheduled way & it is
difficult to avail a service such as printing a poster in 24 hours.

Humility
All said & done, the clockwork efficiency of the Singapore Seva Team, most of all its
organiser, did not deter the ShivYogi in them to dedicate all their service at the feet of
the Guru. Of course there was pride that such an advanced Shivir was assigned to
their country but no ego to boot.
And it isn't as if they did not receive anything for their relentless perseverance and
unstinting efforts. The blessings and love of Babaji and the sadhaks are with them.
They have the grace of God on them and with that, ability to become world beaters.

Kolkata Shivir January 2015

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 63

 
 
DAY 1
Namah Shivay! A Shivir in Kolkata Shambhavi Level 2 was long overdue. And so at
long last, 3 years to be precise, when Babaji has arrived in the City of Joy, there are
bound to be celebrations, albeit of the inner variety than any external pompous ones.
Babaji has hit the ground running, and that has meant hark back to good old days of
10 hour shivirs. It’s been as if Babaji wants to compensate for the lost time. Right
from the word go, Babaji has stepped foot on the pedestal, with three powerful
purification sessions to go with extensive healing throughout the day during the
course of the discourse. Following are the teachings from the maiden day of Shivir.
1) There is no need for dependency on others for love, support and care. ShivYog
teaches that the real identity of a human being is his inner self, which is vast,
independent and has the capability to provide everything that the external
world has got to offer and more. All that on a higher scale of consciousness.
“My true identity is that I’m self-illuminated and I’m the infinite,” said Babaji.
2) Every Spiritual Quest has its inspiration, the opening of 10 Doors of
Awakening. The opening takes place when the consciousness of a person rises
through purification in meditation.
3) To improve one’s life, one will have to devote a certain period of time daily to
work on oneself with dedication nand surrender to his Guru.
4) One must make utmost effort to raise one’s consciousness level during one’s
lifetime. The consciousness level attained during the lifetime is the
consciousness level that one is born with in the next birth. The balance of
deeds and misdeeds is carried forward to the next birth.
5) All ShivYog sadhaks must switch off all their Electronic Devices such as
mobile phones, digital watches and wireless equipment when they sit for
meditation since ShivYog Sadhana involves healing through intracellular
communication which is disturbed by the electromagnetic radiation of the
electronic devices. It is the same principle owing to which airlines make
passengers switch off their cell phones inside airplanes.
6) Babaji urged the sadhaks not to write their pain and misery on paper as it
would only strengthen and entrench the sorrow within. One must learnt ro
create positive neuropathways rather than engaging in the elaborate exchange
of sorrow through letters.
DAY 2
Babaji said that since he has come after a long time, he would compensate by giving
more. He begins the Shivir at 9am and ends at 6 or even 7 pm, not wanting to lose
even a single minute. Babaji's words in direct speech.
o It is not a community God. It is not your God or my God. My God is within.
o When I look within, I would know that there is no difference between the God I see
outside and the God within me.
o The ancient rishis always taught this that the whole Universe is your family -
Vasudev Kutumbh.
o When I dissolve the layers of ignorance, then I merge with the God within me. So, I
have all the miraculous powers within me, which are limited due to my limitations
and negative belief.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 64

 
 
o The only belief that you must have is in your own Self.
o When we go to the Guru, the Guru sees that the vessel (seeker) is only cleaned from
outside and not from within. My Guru used to say this that. You carry all the stale
food into your vessel. Stale food of how your parents mistreated you, your bad
relationships, how you have been cheated or hurt, etc. With all this stale food how
and where will the Guru put the amrit (nectar)? He cannot until you clean the vessel
from inside.
o Till the time you do not give yourself to the Guru, He cannot clean your inner vessel.
You have to surrender to the Master.
o It is from your intention that you can surrender without testing how the Guru would
clean you. When you do Sadhana, surrender.
o All the infinite dimensions are within you and you can travel within and outside
when you realize your Self. I am not joking. You can literally move subtly to places,
visit places, see everything clearly at different physical locations or dimensions.
o Lord Krishna in His childhood revealed these messages when as a child His mother
had asked to open His mouth and she saw the whole Universe in there.
o We are so lazy that we do not catch the message that He was trying to give that the
whole Universe is within each and everyone and not just God. We are so lazy that we
wish to believe that everything is there in the Guru itself and be happy in praising
and worshipping Him but fail to understand that He is trying to teach you that You
have all those things within you too that you see in your Guru.
o You have learnt all technologies outside, when will you learn your inner
technologies? Only when you learn your inner technology you will be able to
succeed well in the outside world also.
o Wherever you Connect Your Conciousness to, it will get stuck there. If you think all
time about some negative incident, then your consciousness gets stuck in that and
then you attract similar incident into your life.
o When you go into turiya avasta here, and when I ask you to ask what you want, you
may have noticed that you do not remember anything. This is because what you
desire is in your conscious mind. You have to send that into your deep subconscious
mind and only after that it can enter your conciousness. Only when it is in your
conciousness, you can bring that forth in samadhi. What you bring forth in samadhi
bears immediate fruits.
o This is why I ask you to write the Golden Book repeatedly everyday because by
doing so, you create neuropathways and enter those thoughts or wishes into your
consciousness. Writing it just before going to sleep fastens the manifestation time.
o Do not desire but seek what you want from your life.
o Whatever happens in your life is a part of your soul agenda. It is what you yourself
created to learn lessons and grow.
o When you learn lessons you have every right to re-create your destiny.
o The day you learn to live, that day your life will prolong. Why live in fear and
anxiety. We all have to die one day, but die once, why die 2000 times before that by
becoming anxious every half hour.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 65

 
 
 After a day of initial cleansing, today Babaji gave the shaktipat in deeksha of
Shambhavi.
o After 3 consecutive powerful meditations and a joyous bhajan of “Tum hi Bhaj Re
Mana”, Babaji asked to evaluate and see for themselves how much of change they are
seeing within themselves in just 1½ day.
o He asked all to manifest smaller things first and see for themselves their inner
powers to manifest and asked that all begin this practice from here itself.
o Babaji gave a novel idea to those who did not know what they want from life. He
asked to write down first on a rough paper what one does not like as this is one thing
we very easily can do. After writing down, jot down the opposites of what you do no
want; that is what you want.
o He asked to manifest good earnings too and dedicate a share of what you earn to the
poor and needy and feed the hungry.
o Best things you can do for others is to run bal bhojans, feed the hungry, visit
orphanages and share with those who are less privileged than you.
o Do not leave anything incomplete in life, fulfil your goals and your soul agenda.
o The more ill health, the more one has to work hard by switching to natural foods,
exercises, healthy lifestyle and regular ShivYog Sadhana.
o Set goals for yourself and do not look into others' life or compare with others.
o Set this strong resolution 'Ëveryday in every way I am becoming better and better'.

DAY 3
Yesterday's powerful meditations brought many quick effects of release on the
sadhaks and it was difficult for few to handle the energies. Babaji asked today if He
should go slow but everyone asked for more. Then Babaji gave a few tips on how to
handle the energies.
o If you feel you are stuck during Sadhana, the best and easy way out is to surrender
to the Guru.
o If you have devotion towards the Guru, you can connect instantly and receive help
also. This does not mean worship the Guru.
o Seeing different things, making sounds, crying and other kriyas are the release
processes during Shaktipat.
o Usually all these crying and making sounds are subconscious Resistance to the
Higher Energies.
o All these are nothing but your own negative karmas of this lifetime or previous. All
that you do comes back to be reaped.
o Feeling on fear during Sadhana is nothing but the fear of loss - the fear of losing your
priZed possessions - the negative karmas like jealously, ego, anger, etc.
o Feeling of restlessness or fear is nothing but a good sign
o Do not Resist Kriyas nor Encourage Kriyas.
o You might enjoy the praise from others with your spiritual qualities but you will lose
powers.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 66

 
 
o The more humble you are the more powerful you are. Look at any Siddha or yogis
who have reached that state. They never show-off and are the most simple humans.
o When the sun shines, the sunlight is evident to all, the Sun does not go and tell
people about the sunlight.
o You must respect everyone, the smallest to the biggest. Bring this bhaav always.
o The fruit-laden tree is always bent. Flexible and bent down-to-earth.
o A ShivYogi's introduction is such that they bring pride to 7 generations down the
line.
o Refuse to think negative. Create strong positive beliefs.
o Love everyone unconditionally. Even in the family, we love someone more and
someone less. This is not unconditional love. Love everyone equally, however they
are, good, bad, sarcastic, ready to fight... however, must be accepted and loved
unconditionally.
o If you start accepting everyone the way they are, you will see growth in your own
life.
o Maintain always the feeling of gratitude. Whoever is serving you, you must have
the feeling of gratitude.
o The more darkness you find your life in, the more Sadhana, the more Good Deeds
you must do in your life and gradually your life will start improving.
o Learn good eating habits. In our goshala, if a cow is ill, it will not touch food. If a dog
is sick, it will eat grass and induce vomiting. We must learn from nature. If your
body is stressed, do shank prakshalan and cleanse.
o You service your vehicle too, why can't you take care of your body too that God has
given you? Moderate food, give time for your body to relax, cut off for a while from
your cell phones.
o Morning time is for your Dev Karm when you meditate. Then whole day is your
time for Sakaam Karm - your work and at this time, no Godly talks; get doing your
work wholly and nothing else at this time. In the evening it is your time for Shanti
Karm and this is the time you have to be back at home. Nothing else at this time. This
is the time for your expression of love, expression of warmth with your soul group.
o Look at the cows in our goshala. They have inbuilt clock within them and are
disciplined. The time to graze, the time they eat, the time the rest, the time they all
get together are perfectly timed. Even birds wake up on time, go out for food and
only in the evening return back. The cows do not rest in their sheds when they are to
graze and birds don't stay back on trees when they are supposed to gather food.
o Have you become so busy that you leave home for work at 7 am while your child
sleeps and you return home at 10 pm? Then one fine day after 15 years, you see a
stranger in your home and say he or she is a troublesome teenager.
o These are the basic foundations of spirituality. Practice what I teach for 21 days and
see for yourself if they are bringing positive changes in your life or not.
o Why have you taken this body? It is to experience the humanly experiences
otherwise you will remain incomplete.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 67

 
 
o Babaji said He would increase energies today and then said, "How I wish I could
blast one day with full energy?" All shouted "today!" Babaji laughed and said, "No,
"not yet, but I long to blast full fledged energies and one day I will. There is still time
for all to grow."
o Babaji asked that everyone sing together during breaks. Today's morning break saw
the Kolkata team singing many bhajans and Babaji entered the stage and joined the
team. Correcting the fast pace of the bhajan, Babaji taught everyone the ShivYog way
of sankirtan. Stopping the bhajan and the music team, Babaji re-started the same
bhajan "Jay Jay Shiva Shambho…" with a very slow pace explaining that those listening
to it for the first time must be able to grasp and learn the bhajan as one sings the
lines. Then he paced the tempo of the bhajan to faster and faster till everybody
merged with the fast rhythm of Babaji's voice.
o Babaji taught how one can go into samadhi even through singing and dancing.
o Babaji called out to West Bengal to come forward to organize Durga Saptashati
events at their localities or homes. He said organizing Durga Saptashati need not be a
big event involving lot of expenses, but it could be done even at homes in a small
way by everyone getting together to chant the holy text.

In Direct Speech ---

o You organize and attend all kind of parties, now organize Durga Saptashati Parties.

o Notice what happens during parties. Everyone comes to demonstrate something or

the other, rings, bracelet, saree, etc and the talks are artificial. After the party, you can
see all around - food wasted, bottles scattered, materials displaced and litter
everywhere. But those who attend divine events like Durga Saptashati comes whole-
heartedly, with love, and even in the event and after the event you will see people
helping each other, cooking, distributing food, washing dishes, not leaving a single
food on their plates, and even arranging everything in place before they leave,
making your home much more beautiful and divine after they leave your home.
o Shivyogis must not live an Artificial Life but relish life fully.
o A message to those wanting to bear a child.
You attract a soul as per the Physical, Mental an Emotional State of the Parents. For
one year the couples must purify themselves. Do ShivYog Sadhana and make
yourself 100% healthy Physically, Mentally and Emotionally. The couples must
release all Past Negative Impressions. The only difference between an animal and
human giving birth to an offspring is that  Humans take Full Care and
Responsibility for the Child. Animals do it only instinctively.
If the mother is Happy and Optimistic, the child that the mother gives birth to,
will be Healthy and Successful and will not face Unwanted Hindrance in Life. A
Divine Couple will attract a Divine Soul in their lives. I pray to families to not
pain the daughters-in-law during the period of Pregnancy.
o When you are sitting to do Sadhana, you Must know what you want in life.
o We have always learnt that we must not desire. Without Goal or desire you cannot
do anything. You are like a cabbage. What difference does it make to a cabbage
whether a Chinese dish is made out of it or a cow eats it or it rots by itself. Know that
everything is desire. Even desiring for self-realization is a desire. There may be a
difference in the quality of the desire but still everything it is a desire.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 68

 
 
o A soul always returns to outgrow one's mistakes and learn through it.
o If a soul does something wrong to others, then it returns back to learn how it feels
when the same is done to oneself.
o If your reaction is positive then it means that you are learning the lesson but if your
reaction is adverse then you have not yet learnt a lesson.
o Only if you have learnt your lesson can you Rewrite your Destiny.
o Use the Golden Book to achieve your goals.
o First write down everything on a rough paper and then evaluate it for a few days
and make the final changes into your Golden Book.
o Write everything in the Present Tense because the present is the truth. Think about
this carefully. Anything you visualize, whether the past or the future, note that you
will be visualizing it in the present tense.
Everything happens in the present. Write your wishes or desires in the present tense
as though you already have achieved it.
o Whatever you write and feel and visualize in the present will start it's creation to
bring it to that what you feel and think.
o Unrealistic Goals will never be fulfilled. Have a crystal clear vision of what you
want and not a mere vague idea of what you want.
o You do not do it right and then you blame God for not getting it.
o There will be hurdles that would come in the realization of your goals and that is
why you are taught ShivYog Sadhana to burn them through your tapas.
o You are so fortunate to receive this wisdom and grace so easily, make full use of it.
o When you want to tell something your sadness, you feel it fully and express but
when I ask you what you want from life, there is no emotion in it. There is no
emotion because you do not believe that you can materialize.
o To learn a lesson change this perspective - It is never "what went wrong" but "where
I went wrong".
o Golden Book is only specifically for you and not to write and materialize for others.
o I am not making you God. I am only teaching you a divine way of healing, which
when you do whole-heartedly will benefit others. You can guarantee 100% for
yourself but you cannot guarantee for others, not even 1%.
o Many times we give our loved ones disease unknowingly and then we try to heal it.
So, there are many factors that manifest a disease.
o Everything begins from you. If you say you believe in your Guru or believe in your
God, find out if you believe in yourself. If you do not believe in yourself, you cannot
believe in anything.
o Learn to face the truth and that will happen only with inner purification.
o Whatever you are or however you are right now, good or bad, is because of your
past karmas.
o You had experiencing the fruits of the seeds that you had sown in the past.
Everything begins from you.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 69

 
 
DAY 4
o ShivYog goes by the simple rule. Just by coming and attending shivirs does not
guarantee health or success. Guarantee is when you practice what you are taught
here.The first 21 days are crucial. If you honestly
o Honesty is the best policy but in ShivYog we say honesty is the Only policy.
o Honesty at the physical level, mental and spiritual level.
o We speak lies at all times to the world and then we start even lying to our own
selves.
o Ask to your Self. Where am I going wrong? Where do I have to correct myself?
o No one from outside can give you anything. Not even God. Even to satisfy your
hunger you yourself have to eat. Even if the food is served in front of you, it is You
who have to eat. I have served you food, now you have to eat.
o I have come to make sadhaks not bhakts.
o I have not come to create lazy people who say Guru or God will do everything.
o Every day break one limitation. Make efforts. Do karmas. Create goals. Word hard.
o Babaji taught early morning, the sacred divine Sadhana that was taught to him by a
Yogi, who once when sick to the point of dying, entered an ashram in a different
dimension. There he lived for sometime where he was taught the sacred Sadhana
and kriyas by the Yogis living there. He mastered those practices that made him
revive and left the place totally healthy. He was asked by the Yogis not to return but
later when he tried to visit this ashram, he found there was no ashram there. This
Yogi then had taught these sacred Sadhana and kriyas to Babaji that Babaji teaches
every one in the Shivir.
o Be aware of what you ask, even when you ask for experiences. Even I have been
through all this. There were times in my young days when I had asked my Guru to
give me full experience and the experiences were so strong that I had to plead to
stop. Even once when I was doing sadhana in Maa Kali's temple in the South, doors
were closed once when I went there. I asked angrily "Maa, do you really exisit?"
Immediately, my body started bending fully backwards to the point that I thought
my body would break. Then something held me and I said "Yes, Maa you are there!"
So, be careful of what you ask or say during Sadhana.
o Today were healing sessions that came as a big surprise. As usual, teams were
singing turn by turn sankirtans and Babaji arrived on the stage. He called the group
that was singing on to the stage and divided them quickly into groups and made
them sit at both His sides. He walked among them and practically taught them step
by step with His talks containing full sense of humour.
o Then everyone in the hall sat in groups and learnt healing. After the healing sessions,
everyone who were on the stage shared their amazing experiences, many of them
healed of their ailments. Soon, the mics went into the crowd and people shared their
experiences. The sharings were so many that they had to be stopped to save time.
o Healing experiences ranged from self healing to healing others to people healing
their crops to experiences through Durga Saptashati to mystical experiences with the
Divine.

 o In the evening Babaji spoke about the various bhasms and churna. He spontaneously
gave solutions of herbal and ayurvedic formulas for various ailments. The Kolkata
Shivir saw sadhaks taking the herbal product "SHIVYA" which is a churna that was
formulated by Babaji and produced and distributed by Dr. Sanjeev Choudhry's, CEO
of Super Religare Laboratories.
o Babaji welcomed sadhaks to organise Durga Saptashati and Babaji would look out
for the dedicated sadhaks, who would be trained in higher orientation programs.
Babaji wishes to train a special set of sadhaks for vision problems.
o The Durga Saptashati event would be a 2-day program for which all the DVDs
would be made available by the ashram. This would include the training audio-
visual for the sadhaks willing to organize these Durga Saptashati (DSS) events.
o Babaji mentioned about the power of thought as to how with proper focus and
concentration unimaginable things can be done. He explained it with a pendulum
dowser how one's subconscious mind works through it.
o Babaji mentioned about an experience in Bhopal few months ago during a Shivir. It
was a clear sky with a warm temperature and Babaji mentioned that collectively even
if all strongly feel that it would rain, it could manifest. All strongly experimented by
feeling strongly about the rain and that night it rained. Next day all though surprised
many accounted it to co-incidence. Babaji asked everyone to do it again and the same
afternoon it rained again. Babaji was mentioning how a common Goal of Lokah
Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu could be achieved by ShivYog sadhaks with collective
divine work.
o Babaji stressed about the importance of healing the house.
o Babaji highlighted how people are not bad but many times are influenced by the
energies. If the energies of the house is low, it is very usual to see people of such
homes ill, irritated, etc. He reminded everyone to check in the Shivir hall itself, how
the people next to them behaved and how they behave today, which is the result of
the positive vibrations of the Sadhana everyone is doing.
o He asked not to keep things accumulated in one place for more than three years at
home as stagnant articles begin emitting negative vibrations. Either they be
repositioned or be sold off.

DAY 5
o Babaji said that just like the subtle bodies that cannot be seen, the West Bengal team
also has an invisible team who worked round the clock to make the Shivir a success.
o He appreciated the West Bengal Seva Team and appreciated those who were silently
working behind the scenes to make this happen.
o Babaji said that He sees every activity of every sadhak in the Seva and conveyed that
He has blessed every Seva Sadhak Individually.
o The Durga Saptashati book was also released in Bangla language today.
o Babaji said that those who are physically close to him must not bring an ego.

o The transformation comes from within and hence one must not go into forming
rapport or making a circle.
o Here the focus should only be to receive blessings. There is no old sadhak or new
sadhak but just a sadhak.

o You have to be like the vessel which is under the tap and not the other way round.
o The real Seva to the Guru is the Seva to the disciples of the Guru.
o If you want to feed the Guru, go and feed Guru-Bandhus in satsangs.
o The one who goes to satsang goes to the Guru. Many have even experienced the
Guru in the satsang.
o The one who wishes to fix meetings with the Guru is still under illusion. If you really
want to meet me then sit in a satsang, I will be there.
o Try to activate your higher senses and you will find me clearly there.
o In the language of silence, I will ask have you learnt your lesson? Are you willing to
change yourself? You may say anything verbally but the language of vibrations
cannot be hidden. The moment you say Yes truly to these questions, I will bless you.
o What can you ask from the Guru - You can seek His divine love and mercy, seek His
Divine healing, seek His divine blessings.
o Start doing satsangs at your homes. Read the 12th chapter of Durga Saptashati and
you would know the numerous positive results that it brings into your lives.
o Whenever you go to satsangs and Guru's places, you must become a simple person.
In the outside world you may move around as so-and-so, a VIP or VVIP, etc.
o I am not sure if you know, but in every Shivir before I enter, I send lot of healing
energies to the place, which will be missed by those who stand outside in hopes to
see me or meet me. Why long for a 1-minute meet when I am fully available to you in
the Shivir for 7-8 hours.
o Those who fall into the trap of meeting me and run around do not follow ShivYog
but those who silently go about doing their dharma are my true shishyas.
o The medical test reports in this Shivir were excellent, which was announced by Dr.
Sanjeev Choudhary, CEO, Super Religare Laboratories.
o Sugar parameters, thyroid parameters, anti-inflammatory parameters and other
parameters were checked from 120 people prior to the beginning of the Shivir and at
the end of the Shivir and excellent improvements were noted.
o The patients with the remarkable changes came and gave their experience.
o Dr. Bindu Kansupadia, a senior cardiologist from USA, who is also a sadhak, came
up and shared his experiences with the number of healing seminars he has
participated in with Babaji over the past years.
He exclaimed, "In my years of career I have never seen parameters changing in
such magnitude in such short span of time even with western medicine."
o Babaji said, “It is great to see the western medicine merge with ancient Indian
medicine. Our Goal is Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu."
He continued, "Healthy People make a Healthy Nation."
o Never accept failure or disease. This is your life and you have command over it. I do
not permit illness in it.
o You are not helpless.
o I do not support the ones who self-pity and feel helpless.

o Ishanji was in Mauritius. He had a desire to have a camera that can shoot
underwater. He bought one and while under sea, his camera fell off his hand. He
noted that it was the same spot where thrice things had fallen from his hands. He
wondered why. He was thinking about it and when he could not understand he
remembered Babaji's words There is a lesson in everything. He thought for sometime
and wondered what lesson it would be. It immediately flashed that first time a watch
fell, he had said it was okay. The second time I lost a camera in the same spot I just
did not bother about it. It was clear to him that the lesson was that he was not
making attempts to find it but would just give up. This time he was determined to
search it and searched for a while. Suddenly, a wave hit and the lost camera fell into
his hands. The camera was still on and Ishanji later said that it had even a picture of
his lost wrist watch.
o With this example, Babaji taught not to give up. He said you must seek consistently.
o Ask yourself with whatever is happening with you, are you happy with it. If not,
change it and seek what you want.
o More fortunate are you because you are sitting here on the sofa and receiving what
needs years and lifetimes of austerities. Someone is coming to your home and
teaching you these life transforming Sadhanas.
o The rate of recall is 80%, meaning if I ask you to recall something I tell you
immediately after telling you. If I ask you to recall after few hours it is 60%. If I ask
after 3-4 days it is 40% and I ask you after a week, then it is lesser than 20%. Hence,
immediately put things to action without procrastination.
o Once someone told a sadhak who owned a bakery about neem cake. It was made but
no one ate it. Same way, if you mix your own thoughts and past experiences with
what I share then it will become like the neem cake.
o ShivYog is not the path of lazy people but those who create for themselves.
Complainers fall into the category of blaming others or situations.
o The more focussed you are on what you want, the faster it happens. Instead of
scattering energies, focus towards only what you want. But to focus you will have to
know first what is it you want from life.
o Whenever you think something, whenever you do something, come into the state of
Yog. Remain in this state for 24 hours. When you remain in the state of Yog, you can
easily achieve what you want.
o The healing powers and sacred Sadhanas of ShivYog are for self-healing and your
family members. Do not open up healing centers.
o Do not make this your profession or leave your daily responsibilities and sit for
healing people.
o Very Important:
At all satsang centers, there will be only satsangs. Do Not Heal anyone there. Your
Guru is present where you do Satsangs.
o Do not bring the ego of calling yourself an old sadhak and having more powers and
things like that.

 Jorhat Agricultural University December 2015

“Life Giving and Life Taking Energy within you, upto your discretion which one to
Activate”  Babaji in his address at Jorhat Agricultural University.
Namah Shivay! A Shivir of Scientific Explanation of Indian Ancient Cosmic Agriculture.
Raising concerns over the rising incidence of deadly diseases such as cancer among even
the rural masses which were least exposed to decadent lifestyles, cellular & Wi-Fi
radiations, Babaji on Tuesday raised alarm bells in reference to the deteriorating health of
all the beings on the planet.
Setting a background to explain the need for introducing ShivYog Agriculture, Babaji said
that when he found out that even the innocuous and protected farmer was reporting
cancer, he sprung into action. "We Avdhootas believe in the saying, Dekh Tamasha
Duniya Ka”. We keep witnessing and blessing. But when the bare necessities and
indispensable elements are endangered, we have to act. Today, food which is a basic
necessity has become poison. The growers, like consumers are bearing the brunt of use of
fertilizers, pesticides and tampering of the nature.
Just to achieve greater production, we can't just play with life on the planet. Agriculture
friendly organisms, butterflies, bees, birds, soil health promoting bacteria, we have
destroyed them all by meddling with their habitat to achieve our selfish ends. Its time that
we return to the state where we live in harmony with nature, where flora, fauna and
human folk, all are in a perfect equilibrium, where each one enjoys its own space and
facilitates the smooth existence of the other," he said.
The Siddha Master added that since science too was hard pressed for answers to the
agricultural conundrum, it was time for Shivyogis to rise to the occasion and make the
presence of cosmic energy felt.
He harped on the benefits of ShivYog Holistic Agriculture, suggesting that if a modality
can ensure so many wonderful changes in the lives of farmers - quality of life, crop
production, soil fertility, immunity in crops, seed potency, nutrition in food, qualitative
enhancement in the texture and characteristics of the crop etc, why not embrace such a
beneficial practice.
"20 minutes is all it takes in a day to practice this powerful meditative process. When it is
giving you so many benefits, why not do it. Farmers, those who have practiced ShivYog
have seen amazing results. You should see the size of the crops, the milk output of the
energized cattle, the nutrition level of the produce, the quantum of produce, eradication of
the need for pesticides and fertilizers. It is nothing short of a miracle. But let me tell you
it's a science. It is no magic. You yourself are magic.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 74

 
 
I will just empower you to realise this magic within you and unfold the science of the self
to make life purposeful for yourself, your family, community, County, globe and also the
plants and animals, without which we won't be to live happily. I want the farmers to
become expert in this and then I will work on cloud seeding to ensure timely and
adequate rains. But that will come later," he said.
Babaji imparts Cosmic Energy Empowerment to Agricultural Academicians, Scientists,
Professors, Researchers and a few Farmers at Jorhat.
Before commencing the empowerment, the Enlightened Yogi and Healer above excellence
had this to say to the beneficiaries ---
"We Shivyogis have gratitude as our strength. Even when we invoke the higher powers,
we offer our gratitude for energy to get directed at us. And the moment we give our
thanks, we feel the grace, the blessing, the powerful vibrations and current flowing
through us. That is the ShivYog Shakti, the unconditional love of the infinite being - Shiva,
derived purely with noble intention & gratitude."

------------------------------------(  )------------------------------------
Hanumangarh Shivir December 2015

Babaji at Hanumangarh Kishan Shivir  “God is beyond qualities, magnifies what you
offer; abstain from offering your negativity to God, seek empowerment to overcome
challenges instead.”
Namah Shivay! In a spell binding discourse, Babaji said here in North western Rajasthan
that the practice of offering one's sorrow and misery to the Almighty at worship altar or
temple must be ceased at the earliest as it was the rule of nature that whatever is offered, a
thousand fold is returned as a blessing.
"Shiva is Nirgun. For Him good is equal bad is equal. Whatever you give to Him, He will
return manifold. So instead of offering your dejection to the Almighty, offer gratitude.
Seek empowerment to overcome challenges, seek the power to heal, seek the power to
attain prosperity, loving relationships, and attain abundance, purity and power to heal
bad habits. Ask for the Shakti to overwhelm all situations in life," he said.

“ Gyan Amrit ” ‐‐‐ Page 75

 
 
Speaking on the second day of the Farmer's Shivir in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan the Self
Realized Sage rued the intense creation of hierarchy in the society, with certain casts and
occupational divisions being labelled as superior and others inferior. "Nowhere in Vedas
will you find a mention of upper castes and lower castes.
Man is now acting under the maya of vices, the illusion which drives him to ignorance and
which triggers the onset of catastrophic emotions - ego, one-upmanship, greed, disrespect,
resentment, hatred, atheism, ungratefulness.
The pollution of ethics has manifested as pollution of the environment. The pollution of
emotions and the pollution of culture have led to the pollution of nature. We have become
weak. The land we inhabit has become weak," he stated.
Babaji underlined the need for looking inwards for deriving power from the soul, which is
"the source of cosmic energy, connected to the supreme source".
The Awakened Guru undertook an oath from the seekers - of never doing badly with the
hands in which he will activate the Goddess as energy."
Finally, he urged all to desist from holding marriages in an overly extravagant and lavish
manner, away from their place of residence, a practice which the culture of destinations
wedding seems to be fomenting. "Cook at home. Bring celebration to your home. Don't let
your culture fade away. Kanyadaan is to be done from home. Make your home a powerful
energy reservoir. All holy work must take place from there. And marry during day time.
Why do we have to make marriage like a secretive Maili Vidya or malpractice done at odd
hours? We have become totally opposite to nature. Two lives must be bound in morning
sun. The agni, the sacrificial fire around which the bridegroom takes marital vows must be
lit as the first thing. What we do is serve food before everything else and then the
mechanical ceremony is held. Where are the emotions? Where is the primacy and respect
to the Fire God? Why are we giving it the last place in the marriage sequence?
Even in Satsangs, meals are being accorded priority and then the chant follows. The chant
too is a formality. Singers are called for the occasion. The playlist includes all film songs
moulded abhorrently into so called devotional music. Whereas the practice should be that
a sadhak should take the lead. Devotion should be important and not singing. Bring piety,
respect and devotion in every action. Don't forget your culture."

 Lenasia Shivir August 2016
Himalayan Yogi suggests every Shivyogi to be a Karma Yogi.
“Start Living a Life to Make Yourself Happy, not to Please Others.”  Babaji guides
sadhaks in Lenasia.
Excerpts from his motivational sermon to the sadhaks ---
"From today prepare your own report card. Perform self assessment, self analysis. Stop
leading a life to please others. Let inner voice guide you and not the whims and wishes of
others. Be your own supervisor. Be your own guide.
But before all this, you must clear the abscess of your karmas, the layers of negativity
around you because if you start assessing yourself before you are totally pure, you will
lead yourself to trouble.
I want to also tell you to compete only with yourself. When you nurture rivalry with
someone else, jealousy is bound to come and pollute your mind, take your energy down,
deplete your positive energy.
So the feeling must be that every day in every way I am getting better and better. At the
end of every day introspect whether you are a better individual than what you were the
previous day. Do not forget that you're a passenger on a journey. You have to move ahead
with a progressive approach every day.
This approach excludes the judgements & assessment by others of you. You can't go on
changing yourself to conform to everyone in the world. You have to have your own
principles and all your actions must be in consonance with these principles.
Make a questionnaire for yourself and read that every night to yourself. Make a checklist
of how you will conduct yourself in a day. And at night, monitor whether you could
follow that checklist.
The choices in life must be governed by your own ultimate Goal. And the checklist must
be in synchrony with this ultimate Goal. The decisions in your life should be such that
they lead you to infinite. It must not be that you make choices which involve only short-
term gains and the road ends there. Long term planning must be done. Remember, you
have to go to the rooftop of existence. You can't be stuck in the staircase of life. 200% life
must be there. Worldly and material goals should be made such that both the worldly
accomplishments and spiritual achievements complement each other and which results in
your ultimate ascension.
The question you must ask yourself before acting and reacting in any given situation is
that whether doing so is helping you fulfil your Soul Agenda. At the end of every day self
analysis must materialize."

 Jaipur Shivir April 2017
“Don’t give anyone the right to upset you, keep your mind off your Enemies”  Babaji
on concluding day of Jaipur Shivir.
"Most of the time we waste our energy in thinking about that one person from whom we
have most expectations from, the one person who has given us most pain, the one person
whose memory is not good for our ultimate good. Remember that even if the other person,
about whom you are thinking is at fault, he or she will not be affected by your hatred or
negativity. What the other person did he will receive, but that is only 3% of the real
situation. That is the action. But what is more important is your reaction to what the other
person did. Reaction constitutes 97% of the situation. Remember that the search is for
happiness and happiness is not in the action of the other person. Happiness comes from
within. So try to go within.
The key to happiness lies in fulfilling your true life purpose by discharging all your
responsibilities - worldly and spiritual. At the worldly level, paying back to the people
you has received so much from. That is the foremost priority. At the level of the inner self,
you must take out 2 hours every day for yourself. And now some people will say we do
find time for ourselves. But let me tell you the time you find out for your work, your
friends, your relatives, and your leisure is not the time for yourself. You have to
understand that what you are. You have to feed not only the physical body but also your
emotional body, the mind body and the soul.
The mind is very clever. It will not let you sit still. It will not let itself be ruled by any other
influence. But you have to be firm and fully aware of what you want from this life. If it is
self realization, then you have to be committed to the path shown by your Guru. Be
steadfast in holding your mantra, staying rooted in your Sadhana. If you succeed in
evolving your consciousness and energy through Sadhana, you will see that you find
success in whatever you do.
It is only through happiness and bliss derived from Sadhana that you will achieve
everything in life. After all, you, as a spiritual being, have taken birth to have humanly
experience. If you are unhappy and sad, it is only failure that you will attract in your life.
Every ShivYogi has to rise from Shaitan Bhaav (devilish tendencies) to Manushya Bhaav
(humanly instinct), to Dev Bhaav (Compassionate instinct) & finally through Sadhana and
Guru Krupa, Parmaatma Bhaav (Godly conduct).
Live in the present moment. Forget the past; renounce the worry of the future. Learn to
seek happiness in the present moment."

Q. What is ShivYog Meditation?
A. As per Ancient Indian Cosmic Science  Establishing a divine connection between
Individual Mind & Universal Divine Cosmic Mind, with pure intension, with the help
of Guru, Siddha-Gurumandala, God (the Ultimate Divine Life Giving Cosmic Power),
Life Giving Solar Energy, Life Giving Celestial Sound Vibration, continuous ShivYog
breathing and finally Charging-up all our five bodies along with mind & soul with
continuous flow of this combined Cosmic Energies. Deep Healing occurs due to rising
of every individual consciousness level. Thus, gaining of more inner power, more
confidence, more energy for doing our jobs of day to day life with more efficiency.
Overall, receive lots & lots of true Inner Peace. Using endless power of human mind,
consciousness level of any object(s), any factor(s) can be raised by projecting this
combined Life Giving Cosmic Healing Energy, continuously. Pran kriya, sukshma
kriya, physical exercise is a must before doing ShivYog meditation, because it cleans
up that divine wire very well, so that the flow of cosmic energy accelerate much more.
In a sentence  merging with Infinite & Healing of Body, Mind & Soul in totality.

Queries of Sadhaks & Sadhikas

 [ Following are the Answers to all those Relevant Queries & Questions which were asked on
facebookPage & were answered by Acharya Ishan Shivanand ji & Gurumaa. So, please read
these & may clear all your doubts from these Answers. Names of Sadhaks/Sadhikas, who asked
these questions, along with date of posting, are intentionally being removed, here. ] 

Q. Want to know about dreams.......what is importance of dreams?......is there any connection of

dreams with our life or past life or any intuitions...in dreams?...why we see dreams and shall
we consider them seriously or find any meaning or message in those dreams?.....in short what
dreams are?
A. In the words of Sigmund Freud, dreams are the royal road to the subconscious, he
believes that a person’s sub conscious is where all his hidden desires are suppressed,
feelings and impulses are stored. So the hypotheses are that understand the dreams
and understand the mind, but as all other statements many scientists hold this true
and many don’t.
Our mind functions all the time during each of our activities, and the most interesting
thing about the mind is that its function is more eliminative then creative, for example
if you look at a person talking to you, you are not just listening, you are looking at
him, at his cloths, the colour of his attire, red pants etc. And how do you know his
pants are red? Your mind is accessing the memory of all the past objects you have seen
which were red so there is a constant comparison. Your mind, to understand the
present is constantly viewing the past at the same time drawing new conclusions. So
much information is being processed. Science says that our sensory receptors take
thousands of inputs per second, out of which only a hundred or so are useful. The
other thousand are eliminated, so that you are able to listen to the person and
understand him while all the other processes are eliminated, otherwise you would
never be able to focus.
Dream is one such process where the mind throws out all the excess information, that
is what Babaji says dreams are a release process, don’t get stuck in them there is so
much you don’t understand in life why do you want to be busy now confusing
yourself with dreams, in ShivYog even the meditation is perceived with a drashta
bhav, that is non judgment. So let the release happen in dreams, and wake up
refreshed with thoughts of what you need to do rather then what you did in your
dreams. Blessings, Namah Shivay.

Q. Babaji told that we can use Sanjeevani to energise/activate Yantras as well as mantras. He told
the method for activating the yantras but he didn't say anything specifically about how to use
Sanjeevani for activating/unlocking the Mantras. It would be great if we get to know
application of Sanjeevani for Unlocking Mantras.
I have one more question, regarding difference between Gayatri Sadhana and Shree Vidya?
Both are described as the supreme Sadhanas and Supreme mantras. What is the difference in
the two paths of “Gayatri Sadhana” and “Shree Vidya”?
A. In a library there are many books, and if you want a book let’s say the Bhagabat Gita,
what will you do? Go to the philosophy section in the library, then go to the Indian,
section, then go to the section of books starting from the letter B, in this manner the
Bhagabat Gita is easy to find.

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 81

 
 
 The other method, I take the library and topple all the books in pile, then how much
time it will take to find the book? Days, months or even years. Guru here does the
work of a librarian he is the keeper of all, knowledge he knows what to give us and
how we must approach it in a Systematic Way.
Therefore it is advised to use the mantras given to you by your Guru. The easiest way
to increase the power of a mantra or to activate it is that when we invoke the
Sanjeevani and it starts to flow within us, then to chant them. Maa Lalita
TripurSundari is a form taken by the Trigunatmika Shakti (MaaMahaKali, MaaMaha
Lakshmi and MaaMahaSaraswati). The Trigunatmika Shakti is the combination of all
these Goddesses. Shree Vidya is the Sadhana of Maa Lalita TripurSundari the highest
Sadhana, given to us by our beloved Babaji. Blessings, Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay. Please tell me what is the meaning of this sentence that you wrote that Babaji
Said ("9 ki ginti chhor do apne ko dekho tabhi dasam dwar khulega") I want to know, how can I
know the Self or know the God? Will just meditating on his name take me there?
A. There was a village in which lived ten idiots, they would not work and make a
nuisance of themselves, so one day all the village people gathered and told those ten
idiots to go to the town and work for their living.
The idiots had to go, on the way they encountered a flood stricken river, they thought
it would be very unsafe to cross, what if one of them drowns? So one idiot came up
with a plan that “we know we are ten, after crossing we will count once more to see if
we all are present or not, they did just that, after crossing one of them started to count
one two three …….nine, counted all except himself and then started to howl that he
had lost a friend, the idiots could not believe so they started to count, again counted
nine, counted all except themselves, and they cried beat their chest, and when they
were doing so in came a man, a saint, He asked what’s wrong? They explained their
plight. The saint said count again. As the idiot counted, one two …….nine, the saint
grabbed the idiots hand and placed on the idiot's chest and said Tenth!!!! The idiots
were overjoyed, miracle!! Miracle!
That’s what Babaji says we search the world, the temples, the books, to find the one.
We seek the help of rings, of lockets to search the one. We moan, we cry, we seek the
help of palmists, astrologists to find the location of the one, we count all the nine but
forget the one, which is us.
Babaji says stop running after the nine, seek the tenth, meditate within, look within
and you will become God ?????? Finding God is not ShivYog but becoming one is.
Blessings, Namah Shivay.

Q. If someone who don’t do Sadhana then how does sickness come to their life ? Is it Ego take any
part? If yes, Please let people know meaning of Ego.
A. Ego is that belief or thought or knowledge, to uphold which you have, hurt
somebody (mentally, physically or emotionally). Whenever you need to put
someone down by judging them or by any other means to put yourself up is ego.
Ego is said to be cause of all suffering, as a person having a wrong self image (ego)
will deviate more from the Real I, The more he deviates, his false image will seek false
gratifications. False as even after getting them he won’t find happiness, (examples can
vary from materialistic to revenge) this will lead to sorrow and anger, and the
persisting sorrow will manifest itself in the form of disease. Meditation under the
guidance of a Guru is the best way to understand the Real I. Namah Shivay.

Q. Babaji has said in the video that he will come when we call him .......and for the healing.... so
why I am not getting healing .....I call him daily....in every sec...... Why I am not getting his
answer....tell me and reply me.
A. Babaji says “Bhaav re”, meaning all is intention, Pure Intention. Call him with all pure
intention, he will come, Personal Experience. “Bhaav re” !!! Blessings.

Q. I've been experiencing some hurdles lately. As I sit for Sadhana, I don't feel relaxed and am
continuously restless about various thoughts moving in my mind. Thoughts are very
irrelevant. Earlier I was able to attain complete peace whilst meditating but now I find my
mind unstable for some peace. Please guide me! I want to meditate and improve my entire
consciousness.
A. The mind is very interesting if you try and perceive it in the context of emotions, if
there is one strong emotion dominant, then that will be the only activity enveloping
everything else. Our mind can only do one thing at a time, for example it’s not that
half our face laughs and half our face cries, one activity either happy or sad, love or
hate etc. etc.
In the same way also the mind is capable of either creating or eliminating, only one
activity is possible, the difference between these two is of lighting the candle or
fighting the darkness, both seems the same but one is a never ending process, the
process of elimination, fighting the darkness.
One is focus and the other one is trying to focus. Trying to focus means there are so
many thoughts and I don’t want them, so I try to get rid of them. This will lead to
anxiety as the more I struggle the more my mind will focus on these thoughts, leading
to anger or even sadness.
Focus means I know what I want, and all my thoughts work in that one direction.
Focus, means that now I don’t waste my energies, fighting the darkness, feeling
anxious about what I don’t want, but just that one objective what I want to achieve.
The moment I know what I want, I am creating. Now there is no question of what I
don’t want, and that is why Babaji says all the time “chahte kya ho”. He knows we
waste so much in eliminating. But as a ShivYogi, you must create ----- create peace,
create success and divinity in your life.

Q. Babaji, how I would come to know that when I call, you have arrived.......I am struggling to
keep my studies better but not successful... I did lot of healing....please help me.
A. Our Shastras say “God says I am in everything, and if he is everywhere, why do I
need to invoke him? How can I invoke that which is all around me in me? A glass
sheet can be a window, a glass sheet can be a mirror, the difference if you look into
one you see the world, look into another you see yourself, another difference one is
completely pure the other, well from one side its painted, but they both our glass, in
the same way our mind is also just the mind, If pure we see that God all around,
painted with our karmas, we see but only ourselves and our vichars.
Why do we meditate? Why to invoke God? How can we? When he is already around
us, in us? We meditate so that we purify till we become aware of his presence.
Sun is shining, don’t sit under a umbrella, just be aware of one fact Babaji loves you,
Babaji is always with you, I am the witness I see, He meditates twenty four hours, so
that you can achieve healing and success and when he is not meditating, he takes
shivirs so he can be with you. The whole Guru Mandal loves you and they meditate
for you, Next time before you invoke just become aware.

Q. Do you feel that doing homa can also create very powerful vibrations around you? And my
other question for you is - if one had a choice of giving charity to a temple versus helping a girl
child with her education which is the better option & why?
A. Doing homa does create powerful vibrations where ever they are performed.
Choose that option which gives you the most satisfaction and peace of mind, which
fills your heart with compassion. Choose with heart, not logic, as logic will find ways,
it will say, feed okay, who? Girl-child or Boy-child? Now it’s not even a child, it’s a Gender.
Then it will say what to feed. This is not economics where you have to consider
optimum utilization of resources based on data and utility and interests, it is you
wanting to do good. All economics is based on what’s probable. Probabilities are
subject to change. All probabilities are always fighting, it’s always one probability vs.
another, another vs. another, fight creates fight, and love creates love. The only thing
permanent is the feelings, the emotion. The next time you create seva chose with love
and compassion, whatever gives you happiness.

Q. I want to ask, I have a lot of vibrations in my body especially after sleep, my heart chakra and
Agya Chakra spin, what does it signify?
Also one more thing, on Friday I did Crystal Healing to the two persons. When I did healing to
the 2nd Person, she told that someone was pulling the pain, scuffle. Then, I said that I will do
healing with the Sanjeevani Invocation. When, I was doing the healing, there was a sound in
my 3rd Eye, I could see the cloud of light, the same thing sound & cloud of light, I saw in my
dreams. Her pain was over then.
A. When I was quite young, Babaji, my father, my Guru, would take me to the deserts of
Rajasthan for meditation, it would be a three to four hour trip from the Delhi ashram
by car, I loved the trip --- so many beautiful scenes in the way, such beautiful
landscapes, such nice dhabas where we would eat, but no matter how good the
journey was, I would always stare from the window and enjoy, for I knew that the
destination was Rajasthan. How absurd will it be that if I were travelling, and
fascinated by a view I would just jump out of the car to examine and explore. I would
never be able to finish my journey that way. The journey is always completed by
moving forward.
The same rule applies to Sadhana. Always keep a Dristabhav towards your
experiences, that is witness them, enjoy them, but if you try to understand them,
recreate them, it amounts to jumping out of the car, and why should you worry when
the one on the driver seat is none other than the father of the universe? Also
remember, always remember “The Intensity & Power of Dhyan are not measured, by
the Experience in Meditation, but the Change in Life after Meditation.” Blessings,
Namah Shivay.

Q. Babaji, can we burn our sanchit karmas by chanting MahaMrityunjaya Mantra??

A. Namah Shivay. Invoke the Shakti of Lord MahaMrityunjya & chant, karmas will be
burnt. Blessings, Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, I don't think I will be able to do the Siddha Dhyan, Shambhavi Dhyan
and Shree Vidya but I want to attain ascend..so what effort should I do. There should be one
way for me! Babaji, my deep wish is to merge with God the Supreme Soul....
A. Namah Shivay, do the swadhyay vocal chanting daily with emotions. Just even that
done perfectly will lead you to the 4th Dimension. Bless you.

Q. Babaji, I am your very blessed daughter...thanks Baba for everything....please guide me as to
what should my approach be towards improving the relationships between my family members
with each other....can I write their names in my Golden Book if I want their relationships to
improve...please guide me Babaji...Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, you can write that, "I, (your name) have a very strong and loving bond
with all my family members. I care for them and fulfil their needs even if they don’t
tell me. We spend quality time together for at least half an hour if not more daily".

Q. I am still waiting for my miracle...!!!!

A. Namah Shivay, do the meditation without expecting (nishkaam) anything. Do it for
your purity. Follow ShivYog in all its essence. Remove the karmic layers everything
else will follow.

Q. Thank you very much Ishan Bhaiya for your message, does this mean we have to even increase
our sadhana starting now and make it even more intense after April 2012. One more important
question for me? I am right now in US on a long term assignment, I wanted to know given a
choice will India be the right place to be in physically and spiritually in late 2012. Thank you,
Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, make it intense now and always. There is no scope for a lackadaisical
meditation at any given time. This period starting from 2010 to 2012 December is
crucial as a few minutes of meditation done would be equivalent to years and years of
tapa. India is the land of the Holy Siddhas. There is no soil purer than this. The Guru
Mandala has originated from this divine place so inevitably this scores over any other
place. Do the Sadhana you will be safe everywhere you go.
Blessings from Maa and Babaji.

Q. Namah Shivay... I wanted to know how one increases their will power; I had read your words
in a post that the willpower shall conquer it all... I am aware of the ascension period but lately
every time I sit for meditation or healing I get a choked up feeling and can’t sustain more than
8-10 minutes... I really need to heal myself but I don’t seem to getting off this blockage... Thank
you, Namah Shivay...
A. Namah Shivay, take a few deep breaths before the Sadhana. Continue the deep
breaths in the initial part of the meditation. Connect to the Guru and sincerely seek
that your Sadhana flows for an hour. By going deep in meditations will power
increases automatically as the divine connection is made. Blessings.

Q. If you could please guide me how can I go deep into meditation...I really want to connect with
Babaji...Namah Shivay.
A. In the technical aspect of Sadhana, light a dia in front of The Guru's and God's picture
before meditation and request them to come and help you go deep down. Invoke their
energies. Invoke the energy of Shiv Shiva. Invoke the holy siddhas. Thank them and
then begin your Sadhana. Blessings.
Never leave your Sadhana. The Guru mandala rewards sadhaks which exhibit
regularity. It is your future currency. Miracles are soon to happen in your life. To go
deep in meditation, listen to peaceful songs and talk only positive things. Do not argue
with anyone. Do not frown at anyone. Do not try to change anyone. Do not even listen
to any type of judgment or criticism. Just stay in bliss. Thank the Guru and everyone
around always.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, please advise me as to how can I improve my financial conditions?
A. Namah Shivay, does seva daily. Listen and chant the MahaLaxmi mantra, chant daily
and when you get even an iota of money donate for some noble cause. Mind you
though it shouldn’t go to beggars, who may use it for buying smokes and liquor.
Ensure that your charity is well utilized. Continue the Shree Vidya Sadhana .

Q. Namah Shivay. Whenever I meditate some tears come in my eyes and sometimes my lips also
vibrate. Is this fine?
A. let it be natural. If it happens naturally and not a habit then its fine. Merger with the
Original father causes tears of ecstasy. Let it be. Just let it be natural. Do not take
pleasure in it and try to do it yourself. Just witness. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. Could you please guide me to increase the sitting capacity in lotus position
(siddhasana)? I am meditating since last 6 months (after Delhi Shivir) but could not go beyond
30-40 minutes and due to this I am finding myself difficult to go in deep meditation.
A. Namah Shivay. As part of the siddhis that a sadhak receives, the first is Deh siddhi or
the quality to control your body. In the Deh siddhi first thing is Aasan siddhi i.e. the
quality of controlling your posture while meditation. A sadhak must be able to sit for a
particular period of time in a particular position daily. You said you can sit 40 minutes
at a stretch but not more than that.
Before doing ShivYog you wouldn’t have been able to sit even 40 minutes. You tried to
sit and now it’s a habit. So gradually increase your Sadhana time. First few weeks do
5-10 minutes extra by sitting for 5 more minutes than when the pains starts. This way
your body will be used to for sitting for 45 minutes daily. Slowly increase this time to
50 and then finally one hour or more.
Now a question will arise in your mind that since it pains so much you have to stop
the Sadhana. No problem. Stop the Sadhana but continue to sit for 5 minutes more and
then slowly get up. Eat good food which encourages flexibility of joints. Foods like
raw turmeric and calcium containing fruits and vegetables must be had to develop
flexibility. Blessings.

Q. I shall be grateful if you could tell us something about Babaji's Birthplace, Parents &
Childhood. Thank you.
A. Namah Shivay. Now that’s what we call curiosity, wanting to know about the body
more then what is in it. Anyways I will tell you what I know, what I have heard from
Maa and Babaji. Babaji lost his father when he was months old, he had three brothers
and three sisters of which he was the youngest, he was raised by his oldest brother
and his mother, by raising I mean he being taught those teachings which transformed
him. But the most influential on his life was his mother; Babaji and Maa always talk
about Dadi Maa. She was the one who triggered every change in him, she was the one
Babaji and Maa did a lot of seva for and she was the one who finally blessed Babaji.
Now that was on the family front. Apart from that Babaji talks about many Siddhas
who came into in his life and gave him many powers of which the first one was 108
Swami Jagannath who blessed him when he was eight, so you can guess how his life
was, with so many changes & siddhas. May be someday a book might be compiled on
it but till that day this is what I can tell you in short.
Blessings, Namah Shivay.

Q. Babaji, I have read about the approaching year 2012. As guided by you, I am doing Sadhana
regularly. However, some of my family members are not convinced about attending your shivir
as of you now. As I understand some huge changes are going to happen on Dec 21, 2012. What
should we do? I mean we are a little confused as to what kind of precautions to take especially
for our family, employees, neighbours etc. Please guide us. Also, I want to thank you for
coming in my life.
A. Namah Shivay. Just continue the Sadhana, as your energy will increase your family
members’ energy will increase with you. Lots of Blessings, Namah Shivay.

Q. Respected Ishan Bhai Pranam, (Namah Shivay), My Husband has downloaded many things
available from net but bought the CDs from Mumbai Shivir of the same. I am not sure if this
balances the karma. I am asking since we both use the downloaded stuffs rather than CD.
Please Guide and Pray to forgive all of us who in the absence of Online Divine Shop, fall pray
to..... I take pledge to do tree plantation and serve needy unconditionally, Gurumaa, Gurudev.
Please forgive us. We offer gratitude and lot of Unconditional Love.
A. Namah Shivay. Babaji loves you so much, all the time he is in meditation for you. So
how can there be any karma? What I had mentioned was that there are so many
sadhaks who out of just love for ‘their’ Babaji do so much hard work. The programs
which are public i.e. those, coming on TV, somehow get on YouTube owing to some
sadhaks. So that healing can spread. You see the intention matters a lot. If I am giving
someone something is it for their healing? Is it for some good? Because every sadhak
wants that the good coming to them from ShivYog should spread, and if I just take the
matter and post it, there is a difference.
There is so much which the ashram is doing; so much effort is done to bring Babaji to
the public, and may it be videos on the net or TV.

If Nishkam seva is to be done, the sadhaks help in this effort. Whatever is public,
they spread it, and if someone needs healing, Babaji himself say that the Mantra CD
helps. So if you give to someone, you help.
But if everything which Babaji only gives out of sheer love for us & which is so
sacred for us is put on the net, then the efforts of so many sadhaks & the effort of the
Ashram on the whole, suddenly becomes a little cheap.
So spread the word of ShivYog and Babaji, keeping the sentiments of all the
ShivYogis who do genuine seva, in mind. And if something was downloaded
illegally, by way of piracy, Babaji still loves you, that is one fact, which can
never change.

Blessings, Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji!!!!!!!!! Here is my utterly imp query!!! There are two communities;
(1) Adwaitya, which says everything is fixed or destined!!!!!!!!! & other one is which you tell.
(2) We are the creators of our own destiny!!!!!!!!!! You told me any of these if followed by
100% devotion and without any manipulation is correct. Because ultimately it’s our devotion
which zeros the ego down and bring us closer and closer to reality, which is bliss 24*7. But
when I follow the theory which even science says yes to i.e. Aham Bramhasmi or we are the
creator of our own destiny then either a solid example of adwaitya comes or I see almost entire
humanity suffering because for the simple reason that there is no joy in their lives. And when I
surrender my ego or mind to fact that ok everything is fixed no need to think then I feel that I
am wasting my janamah or this beautiful birth as a human being!!!!!!!!

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 87

 
 
 And I feel I should follow ahm brahmaasmi and create my own destiny!!!!!! It’s quite some
time now that I have been pondering over these two things. And I want a solution to it or else
in this confusion I am wasting my life!!!!!!!! Its juz like a person who strongly with 100%
devotion feels that in a stone god is there and he appears another person who feels is not there
with 100% devotion even then he appears because in either case ego was zeroed down!!!!!!my
manipulates all this to sucha an extent that it tells me that its not there or there is a hoax in all
this is done to get my devotion and I am unable to zero my mind or go with one thing!!!! I am
really confused. What should I do???
A. Namah Shivay. Non Judgment, Unconditional Love & Sadhana. As my Baba says,
“aapko dhyao, apko bhajo, apme hi apke ram, aap hoker rehta hay”. And if he is in this aap
then he is also in the aap in front. Continue the Sadhana. Blessings, Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, I was passing my school today and read the name carefully. It said
"Saint Stanislaw’s High School". This means a Saint started the school in 1865. What I mean
to say is that when Jesuit schools / Missionary schools have done so much for society like
economical charges for education, old age home, sports lobby (my school promotes new talent in
hockey countrywide ).
Even though our Vedas and other scriptures are way beyond the regular Science and in spite of
that we as Indians have given it step brother treatment. We must move forward and pave the
way for schools of thought like ShivYog. If our children when they are young and tender know
their true potential by way of ShivYog then I believe they will be more balanced personalities
than we are today. They won't have issues like we have. They won't be bogged down at the
smallest hurdle in life. They will a 200 % life like you taught us.
Now, Babaji can we start something like this ... Like a ShivYog School. The school apart from
formal education must have ShivYog as an important aspect. Can we device a method by which
the philosophy of ShivYog is inculcated in children. I think in future then we will have a more
peaceful society which practices unconditional love rather than the emotional garbage (anger,
hatred, etc). If we start now the result will take quite some time to percolate every part of the
society like a Jesuit school.
Our children will be more aware of their bodies and will have mastered self healing by the time
they reach our age. They will have a far better health (mind and body) than what we have
today. Today we as parents must take a step towards the above so our children can have a better
world to live in. A world full of unconditional love. I don't know how to go about it. I am
looking forward to your reply In Love and Light.
A. My Baba lost his father when he was only months old. He was the youngest among
eight children. He would tell me how it was to live a fatherless childhood, of how in
his innocence he wanted toys, good food, but his family could not provide. You see
you have said rightfully “emotional garbage “. Garbage is what is dumped, a child is
not born with a religion or anger, or sadness, or for that matter anything, he just
knows one language that of love, and when that love is not provided, a child’s life
becomes insecure full of garbage dumped by other people.
In the same manner Babaji felt how it feels to expect, and then abandoned, and it was
at that time he promised to himself that he would not let any other child feel the same
insecurities and lack of love. He vowed to provide as much as he could to the children
of the earth. He made sure that if he did not have a father he will become the father of
millions of children who need a father. This became a purpose, a motivation for his
Sadhana, and he started that day to work on, with and for all the children, and he has
never looked back.

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 88

 
 
 He believes that it is the child who makes the society, and if from beginning the child
feels looked after and loved he becomes a wonderful human being. And it is only
when he is deprived that the seed of jealousy and hatred are planted in him.
So wherever he goes, he gives the children, best food, the best toys, the best clothes
and most of all the unconditional love, which in turn boosts their morals, self worth
and dignity, as there is on giving charity to a beggar, the beggar has no self worth, and
there is one feeding your son, the son has pride. Babaji feeds his children, my brothers,
we don’t do charity. The word does not exist in our vocabulary. We just give love,
receive love in the same way you would do in your family.
I remember Babaji has a habit. He would go to these restaurants in the villages and
would start a khata (account) there as in, he would give the owner of the place money
and he would command the owner to let the children come and eat whatever they
wish, and at the end of each month he would settle the account. When the process
started, the children came, and the waiter treated them how the street children are
treated usually, so Babaji just casually told the manager that it was the children who
were the customers and if they were ill treated, no account and after that the tone
changed. Within a month’s time, the children changed their body language, their self
respect. They would walk in the eating joint like an industrialist would walk in a five
star. They would sit and command the waiter loudly irked!! (Come here) order, eat,
enjoy and leave. Their whole life had changed with the acknowledgment of the fact
that, there was a Babaji ready to do anything for them. And not just this, even in the
shivirs what does Babaji do? Prepare the parents so that they could love their children
the way Babaji wants to love them.
A child learns everything from his parents and if the parents are divine, they don’t
have any garbage to dump, if they know the art of healing, it can be passed on to the
child, so that children know the divinity of the unconditional love. That is the reason
behind the whole effort of shivirs, so that Babaji can take care of his millions of
children. This is true grass root level. Many have joined the cause, in fact everyone
who is a ShivYogi is a part of the cause as all we know all we are capable of is just give
love, receive love and once this is achieved, then all schools will be our schools, the
whole world would be our world, the world of divinity. One Sun is Enough to Shine
the Morning Sky, One Spark is Enough to Burn the Biggest Fire, One Babaji is
Enough to Enlighten our Hearts, and One You is Enough to Heal the Humanity.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, Maa, and Ishanji. Babaji in one of his discourses at Lucknow Ashram,
mentioned about making a Shree Yantra Box, in which one can keep their wishes for fulfilment
& send Sanjeevani to it. Kindly let me know the process of making the box. Though I have made
the box, but I am not confident as whether I have done it the right way. I do not have any words
to express the way Babaji has changed my life. Please Please Babaji, be with me while I give
healing and always guide me and my son. Give me bhakti, shraddha and concentration, Babaji.
Namah Shivay.
A. The Shree Yantra Box can be made by taking a box and pasting the green paper Shree
yantra on all its six sides, then placing the wishes in between as chits and a Meru on
top. Place the box in your Puja room and send Sanjeevani to it, the manifestation shall
commence. Blessings, Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, today is Saturday & I usually go to Hanuman temple to seek blessings.
But few days ago my uncle passed, away so I am notified, that not to goto temple or light dia's
at home for 15 days. So can, I go to Hanuman temple or not. Please advice. Namah Shivay.

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 89

 
 
A. Namah Shivay, all this is Superstition. One must light a dia everyday but only in
front of God's picture. Never light a dia in front of a dead person's photograph. Go
to temple, do Sadhana regularly. Birth & Death are part and parcel of 3rd
dimension. Do you stop lighting a dia when a new baby is born in your house?
No. Then why stop it if a person dies? All this is nature. Anyone who takes birth
has to go. Birth & Death are mere processes. Do not think too much over them.
Pray for ascension of all. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay... please explain 1) tum hi vidhi ho aur tumne hi vidhan bnaye ha... 2) if a
person prays or is a follower of a diety, he merges with that deity and will attain salvation
when that deity will attain salvation....
A. Namah Shivay, when we remove the karmic layers we become the creator or Shiva
ourselves. That way we lay our destiny on our own. We become the viddhi and
vidhata. Secondly God doesn’t wish to attain salvation, He is already Self-Realised.

Q. My query is if there is one universal soul then what is truth behind Lord Krishna, who had
unlimited power at time of birth? And do siddhas have form in siddhaloka... When soul merges
with shiv shiva then ...that soul becomes siddha or shiv shiva...Do all liberated souls are merged
or they still have independent identities.... Can all people in world attain self realisation...
Bhaiya ji please answer these please.
A. Namah Shivay, the supreme soul sends its messengers from time to time to Earth to
accomplish a motive. All siddhas are part of the universal consciousness. As and when
the nature sees the need for their physical presence, it sends t...hem in human form.
Everyone human is in a different stage to reach liberation. Siddhas guide us how to
merge with the infinite. As for Siddhas being separate entities or one, Siddhas are one
with nature. Any time their consciousness can be triggered by a spark which causes
them to separate from The One to manifest into physical form. Yes everyone will reach
liberation but at different times. At ShivYog the endeavour is not to think so much
about these things. The effort is to be a better individual without worrying about other
things and people. Blessings.

Q. Need another Guidance - I once attended an Inner Engineering Excellence course of Sad Guru
Jaggi Vasudev and they were saying, Healers incur Karmic Debts as they don't allow other
souls to go through the natural process of settling Karmic Debts, can you please guide, we are
just channels of God, how can we incur karmic debts in such cases?
A. Namah Shivay, in ShivYog one can clear all debts by healing. Moreover not only one's
own debts but of other’s too. ShivYog is being infinite and being above any doubts
and ambiguities. The healing in ShivYog is without any limitations. Blessings.

Q. How can we clear debts of others...please guide....Namah Shivay.

A. Namah Shivay, by doing regular meditation at fixed timings and sending love to
everyone especially the close family members can clear all your debts. Blessings.

Q. Ishan ji, please guide about the best time for doing Shree Vidya, Shambhavi & Swadhyay. Also,
I wanted to know that does the air of Air Conditioner affect the Sadhana/Energy. (My
meditation room has one).
A. Namah Shivay, best time for Shambhavi is from 4am to 8am in the morning.
The Swadhyay can be done in the morning slot or at sunset in the evening.
Shree vidya must be done after sunset for best results. Set a fixed time for these daily.

 Also stay as natural as possible. Pooja room must not have AC. It must have least
number of gadgets as possible. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, Ishan bhaiya...ek prashna hay...Prati Prasav toh ho gyaya...kya 100% karmic
layers release ho gyayi? Sadhana has cleared the layers or has started clearing....ye kaise pata
chalta hay...
A. Namah Shivay, you have been taking birth as a human not only from this very time
but since millions of years. So how can all the karmas are released all at once? Sadhana
is a gradual process. The deeper you go and the more thoughtless you become in
Sadhana, the more karmas are burnt. Continue the Sadhana extensively and use this
birth and this divine time in the build up to 2012 to clear all karmas. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay...please tell me... Is it necessary to keep Shree Chakra at top and bottom of the
Golden Book as it already contains Shree Chakra within it? I am confused... Although I am
doing Sadhana daily and write my Golden Book. How much time will it take to actualise the
things written? Please guide. Thank you.
A. Namah Shivay, the purer you become by doing more and more Sadhana, the faster
things will materialize.

Q. I don’t have Meru. So please clear the fact that I am doing Shree Vidya Sadhana without the
Meru, Is it necessary to keep it in front while doing Sadhana. And from where I can get it... I’m
from Delhi.
A. Shree Vidya Sadhana in its original form is to be done on a 3 dimensional Shree Yantra
which is to be kept in front of the sadhak. A dia is to be light. 3 things must be there
for ideal Sadhana. Maa Lalita Devi Tripursundari ji's picture in front of you, on the
right side. The Guru's picture in front of you, on the left side and finally the Meru in
front on the extreme left. Light a common dia in front of all these 3. You can buy the
Meru at the Dwarka Ashram. Since it has been made with ideal specifications and
using ideal 8 substances, it is a tad expensive. Blessings.

Q. From where can we get the Maa Lalita Devi Tripursundari ji's picture? Can I light a dia and
keep guru and Maa Lalita Devi Tripursundari ji's picture in front of a 2-D Yantra?
A. Namah Shivay, you can print this and get it laminated or framed. And yes you can
keep the arrangement you mentioned although 3D Yantra is recommended for best
results.

Q. Can any Maili Vidya affect any sadhak?

A. No it can’t until the sadhak decides to let the force take over and believes more in the
negative power than Guru's power. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji. How can one repay Parents' Debt? They have done so much for us and
it is nearly impossible that anything can ever match to their love in our life.
A. Namah Shivay, you are very correct. That debt is unending. But in your capacity do
everything to please them and keep them happy so that till the last breath they say
"Proud to have a son like him. Thank you Shiva". Shiva sees whether you tried your
best or not. If you did, all your debts shall be excused. Blessings.

Q. Can we send Sanjeevani to our parents in order to remove debts as Babaji says that Sanjeevani
is universal currency?

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 91

 
 
A. Namah Shivay, Yes, you can certainly do this. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. I wanted to ask:

(1) Is it something normal that while doing Sadhana, after a period of time we can't and don't
feel like doing? If yes what's the cause and what should be to prevent it?
(2) Babaji had said that while doing sadhnas, our aura is purified. Can you please help me to
understand why after some time we find that some people are no more in our life or are
very distant from us? Thank You, very much.
A. Namah Shivay, this period from mid 2010 to late 2012 has a characteristic that both
devil powers and divine powers are prevalent. At the slightest stimulus of negativity,
the mind will digress and disinterest shall take over to ...give way to negativity. Do
not let this happen. The play of senses is very dominant at this time period. Sadhana
of an hour done at this point of time yields fruits equivalent to those by meditation of
thousands of years. Do the Sadhana daily. Develop will power. Distractions at this
time should be overcome. The fight of the good and evil is underway and those siding
with the evils shall be exterminated. On the other hand this is also a golden
opportunity to ascend in physical form to 4th Dimension. Answering your 2nd
question. As we do Sadhana, the energy around us changes drastically. Everyone
whom we attract in this life is nothing but energy. Nature's rule is that like energy will
attract energy of its kind to expand. So as we do Sadhana, the energy increases and
those with lower energy slowly drift away from our lives. But remember you have to
give love to all and accept whatever is happening. Blessings.

Q. Babaji, Namah Shivay, with Dec 2012, kya yug change hone wala hay. Please bataye.
A. Namah Shivay, yug is a phenomenon of the third dimension. A yug is nothing but a
time period reflecting the general mindset of inhabitants. We are moving towards 4th
dimension where purity is supreme and the concept of good time period and bad time
period will end. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, len den khatam karna aur sirf apni kamai per rahna 43 years kee housewife ke
liye kya ho sakta hay? o bhi jab husband sansarik ho to kya kabhi karm se mukti milegi? jab
atmic shakti nahi hay to ichchha hay or shakti mili to ichchha khatm? Please explain kare.
A. As a housewife your job is to give love to your family. You have the whole day to
think of ways to keep your spouse and children happy. Make good food for them.
Learn new recipes. Share jokes with them. Do Sadhana whenever you... get an
opportunity. Even during day you can do the Nachiketa Agni dhyan. Doing
Meditation and Distributing Love, shall clear your Karmic Debts, which you have
with your family. That will end your give & take. Blessings.

Q. Babaji, Namah Shivay. My grandmother passed our away yesterday. I was very close to her so
I cried a lot. I started the ascension kriya prayers for as taught in shivir. Lekin Babaji, does
ascension of ancestors means “Mukti"? What is the Hindi meaning of Ascension? As I
understand ascension of ancestors, it means their soul will leave earth. Lekin thora sa aur clear
kar dijiye. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, as you might be aware there are 14 Lokas. We are on the Prithhi Loka
which is right in the middle of the 14 Lokas. It is the 7th Loka. Above it is Bhuvar
Loka, Swarg Loka, Mehar Loka, Jan Loka, Siddha Loka and finally ...the highest Loka
called Shiv Loka or Vaikunth Loka. You have to do ascension for a week. You have to
send Sanjeevani and perceive that your grandmother's soul is ascending with the light

 to the highest dimension i.e. Shiv Loka. Do not cry or try to get attached as that will
cause her soul to remain here and unable to get mukti from Prithhi Loka. Blessings.

Q. Babaji, thanks, please tell us, who all compromise of the soul group other than parents, children
and siblings? Please guide us. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, the core or main Soul Group is the children, parents and wife i.e. the
immediate family. The more proximal the relation, the more the karmic debt. The
more distant the relation, the less is the debt. Never fight with anyone otherwise
he/she will become your immediate family in the next birth. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay...I read that if 1 gives trouble and disrespect to mother attracts failure in
life...my mother always disrespects me, gives me all kinds of trouble from childhood even when
I always give respect to her..I do Sadhana daily...also I saw on TV that Babaji was talking
numerology about 21/12/2012...does that means Babaji believes in numerology? Please reply.
Regards.
A. Namah Shivay, Babaji said that, that date is numerologically an auspicious one too.
Answering your first question. This is a clear cut case of prarabdh. Your mother and you
share a very close relationship not only in this birth but from many previous births. It
is incumbent upon you now that you have got a siddha as Guru to break this karmic
cause and effect cycle. You two have been close for many births let it be known. Let
not her hostility influence you. Tu pyar ka sagar hay. You are the ocean of love. If you give
a drop of love to anyone, you wouldn’t incur any loss. Do not think about what her
reaction is. From your side it must be love and only love. You and your mother are
most invited to the next Prati Prasav Sadhana whenever it takes place next. Blessings.

Q. Om Namah Shivay... dear Babaji please guide me for Sadhana time... agar hum kisi din early
morning nahi kar paye to kya hum dopahar ya evening mein kar sakte hain... please guide me...
love you Babaji.......
A. Namah Shivay. Make a time table. Yam Niyam is one of the first step of being a
sadhak. Making rules and following them with honesty is the primary step in
spirituality. You must endeavour to do Sadhana in the morning. If it is extremely
unavoidable do it during the twilight period during sunset. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji.....kya hum Sadhana khana khane ke baad kar sakte hay kya?
A. Namah Shivay, doing Sadhana after having food takes away concentration powers
as the focus of the system shifts to digesting food and secreting enzymes. Sadhana
must be done at least 2 hours after having food. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Ishan ji, Babaji kehte hay life achievement ke liye hay aur Babaji ye bhi kehte
hay ki sab mitti hay please mujhe batayiye agar sab mitti hay to kya hum mitti ka achievement
kare?
A. Namah Shivay. Sab mitti hi to hay, par manav sharir dharan kiya hay to sakaam karm
se bach nehi sakte ! boh bhi karna parega ! is sthul sharir ko chalane ke liye annya ki
aabashyakta hay, to annya khana hi parega ! apni pasandida bastuye khareedne ke
liye dhan arjit karna parega ! boh karne ka liye biddya me uttirna hona parega !
sansaar me sthir/abbal nehi huye to adhyatm me bhi gir jayoge ! aatma sakshatkaar
ka koyi saral upay nehi hay ! isi siddha marg ka anusaran karo aur moksha prapti
hogi ! Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, I wish in my Golden Book and my wish doesn’t fulfil and I lose and I
torn the page of my wish written on it, I regularly do Shree Vidya practice even at travelling,
sitting or roaming at some times, but some unwanted things happen and my regularity breaks
what should I do, can I do ShivYog practice at any time travelling/sitting alone for waiting or
roaming somewhere, my many pending works are still pending and now I am feeling very
anxious, as time is passing feeling like I am wasting my each min and day....advice me...Namah
Shivay...
A. Namah Shivay, first you need to do Sadhana continuously for 21 days at fixed timings
in the morning and at night. Demand can be done only when a sadhak becomes
deserved. Sadhana must be done at home with a quiet mind and in solitude. Not to be
done in moving vehicles and in a crowded place. Blessings.

Q. Dear ShivYog Foundation, actually I’m confused in me --- chahata kya hu? Suppose I don’t
know what is good for me, than what should I write in Golden Book? For example, I’m
confused in taking admission from 2 courses, which 1 to choose ? than what I should visualize?
Does Guruji will do whatever good for me?
A. Namah Shivay, in case of taking admission in a good college, you need to study which
is a better institute. Which has better placement? Which suits you better? etc. All this
you have to decide. The Guru can tell you the procedure but not do the karma for you.
Do the Sadhana daily and write down your desires in the Golden Book. The detailed
instructions on Golden Book have been given in the video series of Materialization
Secondly, do Sadhana only till when you’re comfortable.
Increase the stamina of your sitting. Do not push yourself too much since doing
Sadhana in aches and uncomfortable positions distracts the individual towards those
aches than meditation. Just follow what Babaji instructed in the shivir. Ideally you just
have to close your eyes and follow the procedure. Blessings.

Q. It is really true as mentioned by you that everything apart from Sadhana is futile. Namah
Shivay, with lots of love.
A. Namah Shivay. Doing the worldly chores is essential too but where will you get
success from? Success is nothing but positive energy driving a good result. So doing
Sadhana will bring positive energy in all fields --- be it health, wealth, career,
relationships etc. Moreover the aim of your birth is to do Sadhana and attain deletion
of all karmas also called self realization or moksha. So isn’t Sadhana of prime value?
Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. Should we wash the Mahameru everyday and put the kumkum which was
offered aside and again as daily rites offer kumkum to Mahameru? Kindly tell what to do?
Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, do not use water on Meru. Clean it with a dustless cloth. The kumkum
that you collect after cleaning the Meru, keep it in a cloth on your important files or
documents or import. You should clean the Meru weekly and offer the kumkum every
Navratra Day. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, please let me know, can we offer Kumkum on meru for as long as we
want or for 21 days only. Thank you, koti koti Pranam Babaji. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, you can do it for as long as you want. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji. I have attended shivir in Kolkata and I am blessed with shaktipat and
Sanjeevani. I have beej mantra deeksha. With your blessing I have MahaMeru. Please advise
me how I will do everyday sadhana so one day I will qualify for Shree Vidya Deeksha. I am
reading swadhyay everyday and I am chanting the beej mantra you gave us 11 times with
kumkum abhishekam to MahaMeru. I wanted to go Delhi shivir but I missed that. Thank you
Babaji. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, continue doing what has been blessed to you and one day you will
receive a greater opportunity. The optimum use of the current procedure is very
essential. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji I wanted some guidance .How should I channelize my child (13 yrs boy)
in the right direction? What should be my role as mother so that as he grows up he is set in the
right direction. Babaji pleases give your blessings and guide me. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, visualizes him being successful and project only love to him. Do not
install fear in him and yourself. Send love energy and healing to his Manipur chakra
daily. Chantings must be played daily and his ears should be receptive to it. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay I want to strengthen my determination and enhance concentration. Please

guide how to go about it. I am practicing Shree Vidya-2 regularly, since May 2011. Thanks.
A. Namah Shivay, start listening to and chanting yourself Mahishasur Mardini.
Concentration will be enhanced when you enjoy doing what you should. Moreover do
one thing at a time. Sadhana automatically improves concentration and determination.

Q. Babaji, please tell me when the Golden Book is filled than what to do...I have asked some
sadhaks but they too don’t know....your guidance and blessing is healing my married life, my
husband …keep your hands on us always Babaji...Babaji, my son is 6 years old, what type of
Sadhana , mantra uchaaran he should do at this age?...he daily narrates Hanuman Chalisa .
A. Namah Shivay, give Jal-Samadhi to the Golden Book in a river. At 6 he can attend a
shivir too. Give him lot’s of love. Send healing to his Manipur Chakra daily and teach
him the MahaMrityunjay Mantra. Best would be to bring him in a shivir. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, can we give Agni Samadhi or burn the Golden Book after it’s over as
getting clean river bank as always not accessible.
A. Namah Shivay, Agni-Samadhi must be given to the Wrongs, that are in your Life
and not to filled Golden Books. Give only Jal-Samadhi to the book. The prerogative of
finding a river lies on you. The Guru can only guide. Blessings.

Q. Baba, when we forgive someone and the same person keep on hurting you directly or indirectly
what to do…also gave unconditional love many times to same.
A. Namah Shivay, Unconditional love means without conditions and irrespective of the
behaviour of the other person. Sadhana is the only way out to all problems. Shree
Vidya Sadhana twice or thrice daily is the answer to all queries. Things in life are not
sorted by arguments and bickering. Only Sadhana is the way out. Do it and start
listening to chantings. Do some seva. Heavy karmas are released when we do
Nishkam seva.

Q. Babaji! I also asked you question… I use to give unconditional love to people with whom my
relations are not good. But still my relations are not getting better. It sometime gives anxiety
attacks and depression. Please help. I want to quit depression pills.

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 95

 
 
A. Namah Shivay, firstly by popping pills, you have created an atmosphere around you
which has fed to your sub conscious that nothing is changeable and that gloomy
scenario exists always. The ambience should be of Chantings & Sadhana rather than
depression. Create happiness from within. Deriving it from external sources is so
being foolhardy. Feel the happiness when giving love. Love which expects something
in return isn’t unconditional. You direly need to do Sadhana. The concept of ShivYog
needs a deeper understanding on your part. You must attend a shivir as soon as
possible. Blessings.

Q. Babaji, agar kisi ka house or shops etc. nahi sale ho rahi hay to kya karna chahiye, jaldi sale
karne ke liye. We have to send MritSanjeevani to the property or ShreeVidya Mantra?
A. Namah Shivay, MritSaneejvani should be done & Golden Book should be used.
Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, does doing prarambhik sadhana seriously can also lead to self realization?
or Higher Deeksha is a must to achieve Self Realization?
A. Namah Shivay, the only thing required is commitment and devotion on your part.
Level of Sadhana is secondary. Blessings.

Q. Do I always have to attend shivirs in the future for Higher Sadhana? I have only done till
Shree Vidya Lavel-1. Now if I continuously do sadhana and absorb all that Babaji says with
out attending further Shivirs... then what’s next? Babaji does not know me. Will there ever
be a Guru-Shishya relation in the Physical State?
A. Namah Shivay, you do need to attend shivirs time to time to take your level up.
Practice the current Sadhana daily and master it. Babaji does not meet or give deeksha
personally. The benefit you can derive in a shivir is far more than what you will get
personally. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, Ishan Baba, I want to know what are the sign/symptoms of muladhar
chakra activation?? How, we know it is being activating??? Does, prana travel upward/rise
upward to Susumna Nari ? before or after muladhar chakra activation ???
A. Namah Shivay, the first visible signs of Muladhar activation are good health, energy
laced body, willingness to work, fame among peers, achievements of the world.
Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. Please, tell me how to heal someone with asthama i.e., the vaayu tatva? Also,
how can we make our Guru-tatwa more powerful?
A. Namah Shivay, healing should be sent to their Anahat chakra. To make your Guru
element, pure, follow the Guru's Teachings, Chant the ShivYog Swadhyay daily,
meditate daily, and unconditionally love all. Blessings.

Q. Thanks a lot Babaji. Babaji, while doing Sadhana if there is any kind of Pain, discomfort, then
does it means that Sadhana is more important to continue than to leave making excuse for
pain? Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, the Sadhana will heal the pain soon. Do not discontinue it at any cost.
Do the Sadhana in a comfortable position. The mantra must be played along.
Blessings.

Q. I get unusually cold when doing Sadhana, is this normal?

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 96

 
 
A. Namah Shivay. Yes. While doing Sadhana one has various experiences. You are
recommended to do Pran Kriyas daily twice before the sadhnas in morning & evening.
Blessings.

Q. Please mujhe sure kare. I do MahaMrityunjay Sadhana in morning and Shree Vidya Sadhana
in night so how can I do Shree Vidya Sadhana twice and what should I do?? Please batao...
A. Namah Shivay, if you have not done Shree Vidya Level-2, you have to do
MahaMrityunjaya Sadhana in the morning and Shree Vidya at night. But if you have
done level-2 then practice Shree Vidya Level-2 both in the morning as well as at night.
Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation…Namah Shivay. Do we need to carry Meru with us while travelling or

we can imagine it in front of us …?
A. Namah Shivay, no needs to carry. You can visualize. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, is it mandatory to do all the Pran Kriyas (done during the Shivirs) also as part
of the Shree Vidya Sadhana or just the meditation with the Shree Vidya Deeksha Mantra?
A. Namah Shivay, at least once in a day Pran Kriyas must be done. Preferably in the
morning. And yes all those that were taught in the shivir. If not all, major ones are
must. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay...I do Shree Vidya Level-2 Sadhana regularly but without Meru...does it make a
difference.....no problem in buying if it enhances vibrations of Sadhana...thank you.
A. Namah Shivay, ideally Shree Vidya Sadhana must never be done without the Meru.
Although there is no harm doing without it but keeping the Meru enhances Sadhana
manifold. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay....can I reduce the time frequency of Shambhavi so that I can do Shree Vidya
level-2 twice in a day....secondly my mom had once cursed me that I will never remain
happy....she had told I will always be sad....I feel sad about it.....my life has not become
bad...infect it has become better after that...but I still fear....I have faith in God & Babaji.
A. Namah Shivay, in a soon to be uploaded video Babaji will explain how everything that
we say is a mantra. When in anger we curse someone, it is tantamount to reciting the
mantra of the devil. But when you do Shree Vidya Sadhana and practice forgiveness to
all, curses on you stand null and void. Have always a blessing on your mouth for all
and you shall never be under the spell of any curse. Do Shree Vidya Sadhana daily.
And, Yes, you can shorten Shambhavi to accommodate Shree Vidya-2. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, Ishan bhaiya, what a ShivYogi should do if their daughter is having
"Mool" at the time of birth? She was born on 21/4/12 at 8:32PM. I have asked some Shastris
and they said "Mool" shanti karani aavasyak hay and they gave me some expensive and
lengthy karm-kand gyan and advised that at least 28,000 mantra japa are required. Please
advise what we should do for this thing called "Mool" for our lovely daughter. Thank you.
A. Namah Shivay, you must divert all your faith and devotion to the Guru and your
Sadhana rather than Shastris, Tantriks & Astrologers. Doing regular Shree Vidya
Sadhana daily negates all problems in life. Send healing to lower chakras of the baby.
There will be no problem whatsoever. Have trust more in Guru and Shiva than
Shastris who're driven by monetary considerations than well wishing. Blessings.

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 97

 
 
Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, I have a problem actually and also a query. I am very thankful to you as
now you have blessed me with your deeksha. Now whatever I think that is bound to happen. I
know I have got this Shakti from you only. But still I have not been able to heal myself
completely. If I give healing to someone else he or she gets healed. But I don’t know despite of
trying it many times, I haven’t been able to heal myself. Can you please guide me through this
problem, please Babaji?? Waiting for your reply, Lots of love.
A. Namah Shivay, doing Shree Vidya Sadhana is the best way to heal yourself. Moreover
if you wish to have separate healing session for yourself. Invoke Maa Sanjeevani and
feel the energy flowing from your Anahat to your Agya chakra. Blessings.

Q. Babaji, if a person is suffering from Diabetes, and we as a Shree Vidya Level-2 sadhak, how
may we send the healing? Thanks, Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, send healing to the Manipur and Swadhisthan chakras. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, Thanks for the reply. The question is if Shree Vidya Level-2 mantra need
to be chanted in mind while sending healing to Manipur and Swadhisthan chakra or the
MahaMrityunjay Beej Mantra need to be chanted. Please clarify. Thanks.
A. Namah Shivay, healing always with the MahaMrityunjay Mantra. Shree Vidya Mantra
only when the situation is very severe like that in coma. Blessings.

Q. Babaji, Namah Shivay, I assume that we can send healing to the required situation or to the
person after completing our Shree Vidya Level-2 Sadhana. Please, advice. I mean, if we want to
send healing to person for medical cure. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, yes healing will be more pronounced post Sadhana. Blessings.

Q. Any good person needs to be appreciated...so we must not say even positive compliments,
comments or we can....???
A. Namah Shivay, appreciation and judgment are two different things. Endorsing an
effort, a performance, a work or a fine presentation is different on commenting on any
trait of a person. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, ShivYog Foundation, it means that the Sadhana practiced at Prati Prasav
Sadhana camp can’t be done at home after completing the Prati Prasav Sadhana camp??
A. Namah Shivay, Yes. The meditations which are to be practiced at home are separate.
Prati Prasav Sadhana entails release of Sanchit Karmas in the presence of the Guru's
Ultimate Powers. So, it can’t be practiced at home. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, does after opening sahasrar chakra, is it possible to see Shiva in there? If
we raise our consciousness, does it possible to meet God in meditation? And what is Samadhi?
Does in any Shivir of ShivYog, we are taken to the state of Samadhi. Secondly any person who
may have lot of karmic debt in his life and also in past life can also achieve self realization or it
is achieved only by those who have less karmic debt.
A. Namah Shivay, Self Realization can be achieved only with meditation. When the
karmas are burnt and ego subsides, Shiva takes over. It is then that the kundalini rises
from the Mooladhaar to the Sahastrasar. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Ishanji & ShivYog Foundation....I want to know that do we have to do shraddh
once in every year, because for the last 10 years we have been doing my father-in-law's shraddh
every year...but for the last 2years we have not been doing it...and if it is to be done every year

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 98

 
 
 then how should we proceed...because I remember Babaji in one of his discourse saying that the
food prepared on that day should not be consumed by the family members but should be fed to
the poor and needy people .....Thank you.
A. Namah Shivay, Yes, you can do it as many times of the year as may be possible for
you. As a ShivYogi if you know ascension kriya, it is all the more better but the
shraadh or food donation in the name of the ancestors of your family is to be done,
first make the food yourself, invoke Maa Sanjeevani and pray Her to flow through the
food. Then offer the food to the divine in your feelings. Next, feed it to the needy poor
children and then needy poor adults. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji.........how could I do deep mediation (gyahre se gyahra dhyan) some times
during dhyan, I get connected with outside world or physical world. Different ideas or different
images get come into Sadhana. How can I ignore this? Guide me Babaji...........I want to
experience the ultimate good, Sat-Chit-Anand, during Sadhana like the Siddha Gurus and
Babaji, you experience!! Guide me.
A. Namah Shivay, it is natural to encounter thoughts during the initial part of your
spiritual journey. As the purity will take place, automatically thoughts will reduce.
Siddhas too attain that level after prolonged Sadhana. Not in a day or in a month or
even a year. It takes time. Sehaj paakey so Meetha. Just witness. Do not react. Blessings.

Q. Param Pujya Babaji, Namah Shivay. My sadar pranam at your lotus feet. Thank you for
sharing with us the numerous precious gems from Shree Vidya-3 Shivir. The positive energy is
being felt many miles away from Goa. I am Shree Vidya Level-2 Sadhak having aspirations for
higher level dikshas in your divine presence. I would like to request some guidance on how one
can bring about the level of purification required in order to advance on this amazing journey
(in addition to regular sadhana and swadhyay). Regarding giving healing, can my parents
give healing to the families of their siblings? Babaji, please continue to guide, bless, purify,
protect and enlighten us. Namah Shivay.
A. The greatest and the most powerful tool to increase the level of purity is purity of
thought. Thinking of intention behind every action will go a long way in freeing you
from the bondages of karma. Nishkaam seva or selfless service helps cut karmas when
done truly without an ulterior motive. Purity at all levels must be ushered. At the
body level, eat amrit bhojan as fruits, do exercises daily, listen to Babaji's discourses,
bhajans, mantras, at the praan level, do the praan kriyas daily and for the purity of the
mind and Higher bodies, do Sadhana. This and only this is the way to give an impetus
to your spiritual growth. Within family if the faith in the Almighty is there, yes
healing can be done. Blessings.

Q. Babaji, how do we overcome feelings of jealousy, envy. I know I shouldn't, but, I am comparing
myself to others even about my knowledge of ShivYog. And I know I should not. I want to
overcome this as this is not right. Please guide me. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, eye must always be centred around what you want to achieve in life.
The target should be set for your ownself. Growth must be monitored for your own
self rather than measuring on the scale of comparison with others. You have taken
birth and have to cross this spiritual journey all by your own self. In this journey no
one is competing with you. No one can infact compete with you. You are unique like
everyone else. Be happy in seeing others rise. Smell and experience the energy of
success and achievement. Do not criticize or be jealous of someone else's good fortune
because by doing that you are cursing good fortune itself. So nature is sent the

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 99

 
 
 message that you dislike success. Thus never do that. Smile and be happy at all times.
Contribute to others' success and you shall achieve the same with millions ready to
help you. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay..in one of the previous video, Babaji said that we should do Shree Vidya before
sleeping...but we have always read the Golden Book before going to sleep...so should we change
and read Golden Book first and then Shree Vidya as last activity before sleep?
A. Namah Shivay, after Sadhana, write and read the Golden Book and sleep. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, I am planning to wear Rudraksh and Shree Yantra. Can I wear both? or I
should wear any one of them? Secondly while bathing, going in toilet, eating non veg. should I
remove Rudraksh Mala? Does it will affect me? I am planning to order it online. Please inform
whether your Online Divine Shop is active or not? Also inform me whether Shivling is
available in your Divine Shop? or not for selling? Namah Shivay. Babaji ko meri taraf se
sashtang pranam.
A. Namah Shivay, Paradeswar Shivling is not available in the Divine Shop. Babaji has
taught the procedure to make it. You can learn it in a shivir. Yes, remove the Rudraksh
before going to the bathroom and washroom. You can wear both Shree Yantra and
Rudraksh. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay...Babaji told that there are different patterns or sanskaras in our subconscious
mind....and if there are bad sanskaras in subconscious mind we can blast that with sadhana...is
there any way (through sadhana only), through which I can blast off a particular pattern...such
as pattern of failure...
A. Namah Shivay, to do that firstly you have to believe that you are a successful person
already and visualize the same before and after the Sadhana. Write it in your Golden
Book and work hard to accomplish your goal. That will create a neuro pathway and
you will be a successful person. Blessings.

Q. We're doing Sadhana once a weak & Swadhyay once a month, but we had 2 questions.
(1) What should you do with the healing requests afterwards? I personally would love to not
keep any clutter, but someone mentioned putting them in a box?
(2) Does it seem to you we're doing everything to best we can? For Sadhana, we do the pran
kriyas, shambhavi and the chakra meditation, and sometimes healing. Any words of advice
or guidance? Thanks!
A. Namah Shivay, sadhana and sankirtan have to be done daily and not weekly or
monthly. After the wish has materialized, you can dispense with the chits. As a
spiritual seeker we must only be interested in doing Sadhana day in and day out. The
rewards and measuring the growth will automatically become clear by way of more
happiness, excellent health and relations. Blessings.

Q. Thanks for the response! One more question, after the Shivir, we do group Sadhana for a week,
but we’re responsible for our own daily Sadhana. I am personally still working on developing
the best "routine" for daily Sadhana while working, raising my 1½ year old and renovating
our house. Do you have suggestions or know what others have found successful? Whether it's
getting up before everyone else, concentrating more on shambavi, or chakra meditation, doing
more of the Shree Vidya mantra. My current goal is to spend at 30-45 minutes once a day, but
if you have some words for me (and others) as a working first time mother, I would so
appreciate it! Thanks again!

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 100

 
 
A. Namah Shivay, the best time to do sadhana in the morning is anytime from 4am to
8am and at night between 10pm to 11: 30pm. Both the meditations must be done for at
least an hour every day. Babaji says live life 200% i.e. 100% worldly life with all
familial and societal duties and 100% for your own spiritual awakening by meditation
and Swadhyay. Getting up before everyone else is a good option if you can manage
that. Chalk a time table such that nothing is neglected. The Guru can guide as much.
The ones of initiative is entirely on this disciple. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji......I attended your Bangalore shivir Shree Vidya 1 & 2 … actually I am
suffering from Cancer...please help me, please guide me, how to get relief from it....I also gave
a letter to you in Bangalore Shivir & my Aura Scanning was also done....Please guide Babaji, I
am losing hope now....please.
A. Namah Shivay. Tum chahtey kya ho? Yadi theek hona chahtey ho to Sanjeevani Shakti
par vishwaas jagaao naaki apni bimaari par. Pratidin Sadhana karo aur seva karo.
Bhojan karaao bacho ko. Saari bimariyaa utpann hoti hay naakaratmak urja se aur
yadi isi urja ko sakaratmak bana diya, to sab theek. Guru ki vaani ko suno aur Guru ke
dikhaaye maarg ka anusaran karo aur baaki sab Bhagaban Shiv par chor do. Blessings

Q. Namah Shivay. I am practicing ShivYog for the last 10 months. I would like to know whether
we can touch the feet of our elders to take their blessings? Secondly, can we do Sadhana on bed
before going to sleep at night? Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, strictly no Sadhana on bed & Yes, you can seek blessings that way.

Q. Namah Shivay. Babaji asks us to invoke Sanjeevani and then write the Golden Book before
going to sleep. This complete process is done on bed immediately before going to sleep. So I am
not very clear when you say no Sadhana on bed. Please clarify. Namah Shivay
A. Namah Shivay, Sadhana i.e. the one hour meditation is to be done in the meditation
room on a woollen mat spread on the floor but the procedure for Golden Book can be
done on bed. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, please guide me the schedule of ShivYog. I’m prarambhik sadhak also
done Prati Prasav Sadhana. Please guide whether I’m doing everything in right way. I do pran
kriya before meditation just for 15 or 20 minutes and then immediately I sit for dhyana for 1 hr.
(at night) so almost 1 and half hr. needed for this. Then I get little time in morning for half an
hr. That time, I sit for just meditation no Pran Kriya. Please guide whether I’m doing it in
right way. Does I’m doing Pran Kriya very less? or I should increase its timing? Please guide
how things should go at a proper ShivYog Schedule. Please reply. I get 2 hr. time in night and
half an hr. at morning. Please guide. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, your routine is sufficient. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, nowadays these type of massages are being circulated on phones, whatsapp and
facebook. Kindly confirm its authenticity, this message is: “Babaji prayed for the health,
happiness and prosperity of all devotees during the Rudra Puja held at Taraska
Ashram in Poland. He wants all to know that 15th August to 28th September is a time
of disturbance in the mind. So he has asked everyone to avoid all kinds of conflicts.
He has also asked everyone to avoid big adventure, rash/night driving and to be
careful. He has asked to postpone all major decisions/events till after this period. And
He says that it will pass without any problems. Chant Om Namah Shivay, everyday
and you sail through this period. Spread this message to all sadhaks. Namah Shivay.”

A. Babaji says in each and every second there is divinity, in each day there is divinity,
jade anga sang shiv hay, unhe nu pher kis da dar hay, so all one must do is continue
on the path taught by one’s guru, and if one is sincere in his Sadhana then he will
always be connected with the divinity. It is a nice message but not by Babaji, and
also Babaji has never been to Poland.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, in kaliyug how can we give so much time to all these like Shree Vidya,
Saptashati, Pran Kriya, Sarp Kriya, Sankirtan, Seva? There are many things in ShivYog. How
one can do all these things? Maximum he can do sadhana & Sarp Kriya and if we do all this
then we will get less time for sadhana. What’s the solution?
A. Namah Shivay, you have to set your priorities right. Categorize what’s important and
what can be left for later or be done away with. Sadhana followed by sankirtan (Durga
Saptashati) are the most important for spiritual growth. Sewa is the nitro booster for
your spiritual vehicle. So to better your Sadhana and Sankirtan, do seva. If divine
deeds apart from Sadhana and sankirtan (which can’t be skipped at any cost) can’t be
done daily, make sure you do them at some point in the week or month. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji! I have a question. I have 6 Merus on my Siddha Table. One is the Maha
Meru and 5 are smaller Merus. Do I have to put kumkum on all of them while praying 11
times each? I am doing so everytime, so it amounts to a mantra cycle repeated 11 x 6! Please
tell me if sometime I can compromise or should I carry on?
A. Namah Shivay, you should have your own personal Meru on which you do the
Kumkum quite often as in daily. But the other Merus should be treated to kumkum
once a week or month depending upon the time at hand. Namah Shivay.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, if I promote Babaji’s Teachings in my Status Messages, would it be also

considered wrong as a Shivyogi Sadhak?
A. Namah Shivay, if you are quoting Babaji from the official sources, no problem
whatsoever. But if you are giving your views as Babaji's teachings then it’s a bit tricky.
In other words, if you can quote Babaji’s word to word exactly, then it’s perfect. For
that share status posts from this page, videos of Babaji and teachings from official
sources. Because as a sadhak relatively old, you know what is correct and what is
wrong. However this may not be the case with the new sadhaks who may pick up
wrong points in the name of Babaji. Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay!! Any particular time has been decided or we need to do as routine we always
doing??
A. Namah Shivay. Morning brahma-muhurat and evening twilight are best times.
Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, Namah Shivay. How do we feel chakra activation? Do we feel rotating
clockwise or anti-clockwise or it pulsating? Can we feel or 7 chakras rotating at same or only
one at a time.
A. Namah Shivay, the day you begin to see Shiva in everyone and love begins to emanate
from your heart upon seeing everyone, your chakras are getting activated and your
spiritual growth is taking place. Spiritual Growth and Kundalini Awakening is not
about Chakra Activation. It is about becoming as loving, simple and non judgmental.
Chakra Activation will happen on its own. There is no need to focus on that. Just do
the meditation, why worry about the fruits? Namah Shivay.

Q. ShivYog Foundation . . . If I am reciting Durga Saptashati more than once in a one sitting do I
need to repeat all the stuties before & after. .. Guru, Kunjika, Shaap Vimochan, MritSanjeevani
etc. etc? Please guide me? Thanks a lot. . . Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, in a single sitting you are advised to do the Saptashati only once.
Namah Shivay.

Q. Babaji, I will do it. But can a woman do it during her monthly cycles.
A. Namah Shivay, Shiva is beyond all physical and biological phenomenon. Sadhana and
Sankirtan must be done daily irrespective of any body process. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, does meditating facing towards south is a negative thing? Please answer?
A. Namah Shivay, you can do meditation in any direction. Facing East is the best but any
other direction is not any less beneficial. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay...I have a query regarding MahaMeru... I am visiting a friend's place for 3-4
days with entire family. I would like to know if I can take the MahaMeru with me for doing the
Shree Vidya Sadhana and putting kumkum... Also, if I don't carry it with me I will miss out
on putting kumkum for those days... Please advice what shall I do?
A. Namah Shivay, it is not advisable to carry the Meru wherever you go. Kumkum
abhishek can be done when you’re at home. When doing Sadhana at some other place
where you don’t have Meru, just imagine that your Meru is placed in front of you.

Q. Namah Shivay, Sir, from past few months I am experiencing negative things whenever I do
Sadhana. That's the reason I have stopped doing Paath and Sadhana. Why it is so?? The day I
perform Sadhana more deeply, more bad things started happening for that day. Earlier it was
not so. Sadhana must be good for long terms but what about today. I want to remain in turiya.
What to do? Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, whatever we make a habit of thinking, enters our sub conscious mind.
You have constantly fed your sub conscious that doing Sadhana or Path is harmful to
you. In reality these are very very sacred meditations with no side effects whatsoever.
The side effect is in our mind. What you are going through is placebo effect. You keep
on thinking that bad will occur to you and so it does happen. But no, you are going the
wrong way. Bring devotion, compassion and profound love for Maa Durga whenever
you sit for dhyan. It is 200% guaranteed that regular Chandi Paath alleviates one of all
the pains and sufferings. Sorrow and Chandi Paath are totally opposite to each other.
It cannot be because of the sadhnas. To say that it is because of sadhnas that bad
occurs in your life is like saying that whenever I switch on the light, darkness still
remains which isn’t possible. Light the Lamp of regular Sadhana with Shraddha,
Bhakti and Vishwaas and remove the fears and doubts there in your mind. Whatever
you are claiming is a creation of your mind and the best way to tame the mind is
Sadhana. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. What is difference between Durga Saptashati Sadhana and Navratri Shakti
Sadhana? I had taken initiation Durga Saptashati Sadhana from Babaji (virtual) in Dec 2012.
It was very good experience and ecstatic.
A. Namah Shivay, both are the same. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, Babaji, I am experiencing extreme quantum of pressure inert on the agaya
chakra, combined with blue and sometimes golden lights.....what does all this means?

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 103

 
 
A. Namah Shivay, there is nothing to worry. Experiences must be just witnessed. Do not
pay much heed to it. Whatever is happening is happening for your greater good.
Continue the Sadhana. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. We just attended ShivYog Siddha and Shambhavi Dhyan in kolkata which was
graced by Acharya Ishan Shivanandji. I have a question. We have a little dog and when we
came back today, the dog was and is still very ill. Can we send/direct Sanjeevani Shakti to cure
the dog's illness or heal him? And I am not sure if animals do have chakras to which we can
direct the energy? Kindly answer the question?
A. Namah Shivay, just visualizes the energy being sent to the aura of the animal. Animals
do receive healing and faster than humans at that. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, Namah Shivay... While doing my morning sadhana first of all, I
invoke/request Ganeshji, Satguru and Maa Bhagabati (with respective beej mantras as per
virtual directions of our Babaji given in the last Nagpur Navratri Sadhana shivir) for 5-7mints
and then do my Shree Vidya Sadhana for 35-40mints followed by Siddha Kunjika Stotra and
Durga Saptashati Beej Mantras, kindly guide, if the procedure is ok? Namah Shivay!
A. Namah Shivay, it would be disrespect to the Guru and the deeksha if as sadhaks we
discuss the procedure with anyone else. If you have attended the shivir with attention
and keenness, you would remember the procedure taught by Babaji and if that is what
you are following, there can’t be anything wrong with it. Follow whatever you could
grasp in the shivir and have no doubts. More than techniques and procedures,
Spirituality is all about emotion or bhaav as Babaji says. So even if we ever do
anything wrong in the procedure but have deep faith and devotion, the wrong is
neutralized. Smaran rahe, bhagaban bhaav ke bhukhe hay, karam-kand ke nehi. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, I have no word to start. My wife has attended sadhana shivir at Delhi &
kolkata. We also attended Dec, 2012 Durga Saptashati, problem with me is since last 14 years
my wife is being tortured & harassed by some bad devil/Atama /yoni...most of the days ghar me
dukhari situation bana rahta hay, small children apne Maa ki eysi situation dekh kar rote rehte
hay. I can’t express all these things in word. Please save us Babaji.
A. Namah Shivay, make sure that daily at a fixed time once or twice Durga Saptashati
Chanting is done at your place. It will cure all your problems. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, I want to ask that can we start Navratri Sadhana after watching the shivir
video??
A. Namah Shivay, that is entirely a personal choice. If you have time at hand then why
not? Blessings.

Q. Babaji, I need some money in life please heal...want to marry a girl who loves me and I love her
too....
A. Namah Shivay, just surrenders to Maa Durga. Do the Chandi Paath everyday at a
fixed time. In some days, automatically things which are in your greater good will
begin materializing. But do not create unjustified and unholy desires. Do not be
person specific in deciding a partner. Just lay down the qualities.
Blessings.

Q. How do we pray to Guru-Mandala and God to help in this situation? Babaji shall every sadhak
read Durga Saptashati & offer to entire north region and its people?

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 104

 
 
A. Namah Shivay, in such times, one must double the Sadhana and undertake collective
chanting of the Durga Saptashati, if the people who belong to that area and are safe
from the calamity, chant together, the Saptashati and in the end pray for the greater
good, the effects will be immediate and positive. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, please answer this for all of us, you have always said that where
collectively God is invoked, there can’t be disaster. But what’s the reason for situation in North
where Ganga is washing away everything & even idol of Lord Shiva? What can be done?
A. Namah Shivay, it is the rule of nature to balance out the evil. For every good person
praying for the well being of humanity, there are thousands, interfering with Mother
Nature in various ways. At times the negativity in a region cannot be quantified. We
cannot see the complete picture always but nothing goes missed from the forces of
nature. But at the same time it never occurs that a true Shree Vidya or Saptashati
sadhak faces adversity even if the going gets tough for others. In fact in times of
trouble if we are very safe in comparison with others, we must double our
meditational, healing and chanting practices to improve the situation for others too.
Blessings.

Q. Just out of curiosity what if two people, accept each other the way they are, like each other and
do not cross the mariyada. (but have given their relation a name of boy friend and girl friend) is
it still wrong??!!... Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, every age of life is comprised under the ashram or stage like
Brahmcharya, Grihastha, Vanprastha and Sannyas. Being in the Brahmcharya ashram
you shouldn’t engage in flings. If you plan to marry someone at a short notice it is
then fine. Because crushes, infatuations and flings corrupt one morally. And in these
raw relationships, annulment or break up is a strong possibility. This renders them
impure, illegitimate, unethical, immoral and most un-spiritual. Also it was stated in
the earlier post too that here we are talking of ideal spiritual life. This aspect is one of
those. Many sadhaks wished to know the ShivYog way of going about in this age and
how to handle the relationships. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay ...I need help... to materialise the specific characters in partner what it should
be? That he should be non drinker non smoker. .. What to say at Sadhana time that the words
are making full of positive sense?..nature, personality, family, beliefs all things...during my
Sadhana...when I materialising all these a fear strikes in my mind..Negative thoughts start
coming out...and that turiya avastha where you create your all things... and get distracted
please tell me what to do.??? Even many times during Sadhana instantly some unwanted
unnecessary thoughts start coming out...splay fear...I really want to get rid of my all fears
failures...please help me. Namah Shivay!!!
A. Namah Shivay, the fright and fear comes because you want it to. You are giving it
undue attention. Don’t think too much about it. Just think only about the Guru.
Secondly in the Golden Book write all the attributes of your spouse and in the end
write I have got such a spouse and I would like to thank my Guru and Shiva for this.

Q. Namah Shivay, Ishan Bhaiya, - I have want your help in our difficult situation. We have one
daughter - just 17 yrs old. She is very much addict to Mobile & Computer. Now she told us
that she loves a guy who is Cousin Brother of her. In this situation please advice us - what to
do? Kya hum isko iske haal me chhor de ya use woh larke ke sath baat karne ko mana kar de???
Please reply immediately as we are so much confused & worry...!!

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 105

 
 
A. Namah Shivay. Teens of their children are a difficult period for all parents to manage.
But very often the mistakes committed by the offspring have its roots in the attitude of
the parents. Somewhere they fail to communicate the right thing. Somewhere they fail
to be a good example themselves. In your case, you need to send Sanjeevani Shakti to
the Manipur chakra of the child and write down in the Golden Book of how you want
her to be. Regular Sadhana and Chandi Paath done at home precludes the possibility
of such occurrences materializing at home. Do that regularly. Everything will fall in
place by its own. Blessings.

Q. I just want to clear if both person have feeling for each other and if we materialise him or her
and further strong bond in future, it's too called vashikaran of that person?
A. Namah Shivay ji. This teaching is aimed at showing the ideal path guided by the
Guru. What is being stated is that in the Golden Book we can’t write the name of a
person. We may write the desired characteristics. Also, forging relationships, apart
from those aimed at marriage is not approved of by the Guru since it is not spiritually
sound or ideal. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji.... in the Golden Book, can I write about the quality or attribute that I
want my wife to develop in her life... I am already married...
A. Namah Shivay ji, if you have Sanjeevani Shakti, send it to her Manipur Chakra. If you
don’t, then first accept her the way she is and for her and your own betterment, you
can write that with a pure intention. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, I understand that we should not be person specific while doing sadhana and
while writing in Golden Book....but please clarify me one more thing.. Can a ShivYogi continue
his relationship with a girl, planning to marry her in near future with a pure intention? And if
that relationship is completely related to heart equally on both sides and if the pair is following
an ethical way, which to be put in straight way that if the pair is not involving in making love
and physical contact by any means? Thank you so much!
A. Namah Shivay, if we can ensure that Babaji's Teachings are being followed with
utmost purity, we may continue with our pursuits. But again it is being said that what
this status talks about is a perfect setting or an ideal spiritual life. Because however
much logic we may apply to justify our means, there is bound to be an error if we
follow any other path than shown by the Guru. So always Guru's Teachings without
contamination must be followed. Blessings

Q. Namah Shivay Ishanji...but what should we do if we are facing depressions after break-ups?
A. Namah Shivay, distress in life arrives only when we go astray from the path shown by
the Guru. You went against the teaching of not getting into a relationship before
marriage and are facing the consequences of the same. However, committing a
mistake is not a sin per se. Repeating the mistake is. Acknowledge the fact that you
went wrong somewhere and seek forgiveness from yourself and your Guru. Daily
Sadhana and Chandi Paath will lead you further into light and inner happiness.
Because worldly sorrow is meaningless and the things we cry for are futile and
temporary. Blessings.

Q. Ishan bhaiya, Please answer my question too... I do Sadhana more & more (from last Oct 2011,
mujhe Babaji ki bahut spiritual kripa mili hay..I've attended 7 to 8 shivirs of Babaji, Ishan
bhaiya) for my partner search but still I’m alone....

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 106

 
 
A. Namah Shivay, Golden Book is the answer to your query. Write down all the
characteristics of the partner you desire in your Golden Book and visualize it after
every Sadhana session. Merely attending shivirs will not solve our problems. The
prarabdh bhog is ours and only through our own Sadhana can we ameliorate
ourselves of the pain and suffering in life. Also, the Durga Paath if done before
Sadhana will multiply the release of hurdles and karmas in life. Blessings.

Q. Ishan ji himself told story of his marriage, how her respected wife materialize her marriage with
him, isn't it vasikaran?
A. Namah Shivay. What the status talks about is the fact that wooing the opposite sex
before marriage, trying to use spiritual or other means is wrong. Ishan ji was bestowed
by his shakti not through any courtship of the current decadent type. Kavita ji came to
him to show her kundli or horoscope. Ishan ji took her to Babaji who through His
spiritual seance ordained that the two were karmically connected. So through such an
odd quirk of divine fate was born his relationship. Ishan ji is a paragon of a sadhak.
He sets an example for all. To find fault with such a saintly soul would be nitpicking.
It is after their marriage that the two charted their spiritual course using the Golden
Book. And such a process is beyond reproach. So his example too goes by what is
stated in this status. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, Ishan Bhaiya! I am not the head of my house and I am the only one who is a
ShivYogi in my Family. My parents are not willing to remove the photographs of my departed
ancestors. Can we put some Yantra behind the photo like Shree Yantra or MahaMrityunjaya
Yantra to neutralize the black-energy? Please guide me. Namah Shivay!
A. Namah Shivay. In ShivYog we don’t force our views on anyone. So if the
circumstances don’t permit you to remove the photo play regular chantings in your
house and continue to do the Sadhana daily. More than anything, it is your own mind
that needs to be regulated. And if that is happening, all else will slowly fall in line.
Sadhana and seva by serving food are foremost and other aspects will come later.
Blessings.
Namah Shivay. Yantras can be displayed separately but not around, behind or before
the picture.

Q. Babaji, I want to ask a question please answer me, I got married to a ShivYogi but my wife
does not do Sadhana regularly which I don't like. So please reply me, whether I should
ask my wife to do Sadhana on regular basis? or not? or let her do Sadhana as and
when she feels like doing it? though both of us are graced by Babaji, with Shree Vidya
Level-3. Please reply.
A. Namah Shivay. Howsoever correct you may be in your beliefs as you are in following
the daily routine of sadhana, never expect anyone to be like you. We all are unique;
No one can be like us. That is why every individual is special. Babaji says never waste
your energy in analyzing others. By constantly projecting worry and anxiety due to
her not doing sadhana, you are accumulating more karma. Firstly stop judging her.
Stop worrying about her. Whether she is doing Sadhana or not is her karma. You only
need to be worried about whether you yourself do the Sadhana, seva and sankirtan or
not, whether you are giving her unconditional love. Just accept her the way she is.
Your wife is not your enemy or slave.
Do not try to change her as per your whims. Why don’t you perform so much sadhana
that the energy of your house enhances manifold such that circumstances change by

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 107

 
 
 themselves. Remember always that the key to changing situations outside lies in
surrendering to the Almighty and requesting with a pure intention. To sum up Babaji
says "oda karm ode naal, mera karm mere naal" (I’m responsible for my karma and
actions and others are responsible for their actions. I must not be analyzing, criticizing
or trying to change others. I must be worried only about what I have to accomplish.
Rest everything will fall in place).
Another thing you mentioned is that you are a level three sadhak. Understand the
value of the deeksha you have received. Not all are lucky enough like you. Have the
feeling of gratitude to the Guru, Whatever incident is there in life, just witness, Bring
drushtabhaav. Don’t react adversely. Be happy in every situation. Har haal mein khushi.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, mera dhandha do saal se chopat hay. May ekdam khalas ho chuka hu.
Kam milta hay to kam karne vale nahi milte, aur kam karne vale milte hay to kam nahi milta. Jo
bhi karta hu to sab ulta hota hay. Paisa ka bahut dikkat rehta hay. May char mahino se ShivYog
se jura hu aur mayne Baroda Shivir attain kiya tha. Tab se meri ShivYog aur Babaji, apke prati
shardhha aur bishwash bandh gyaya hay. Mere manko bahut shanti mili hay. Babaji ashirbad
dijiye ki sab thik ho jaye, apki kripa sada mere aur mere parivar par bani rahe. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay. Perform the Shree Vidya Sadhana daily and begin donating to the
poor, even if it means a chocolate daily. All the problems in life are a result of our
karmic factors. Release them through Shree Vidya or Durga Saptashati Sadhana and
nishkaam seva Selfless service to plants, feeding the animals and the under-privileged
people. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, how can I come out from unnecessary thought process? even few word also
relating to unwanted things, could you please advise?
A. Namah Shivay. You need to raise your vibrations to remove unwanted thoughts. Start
doing Swadhyay or Durga Saptashati recital daily in the morning and evening. Listen
to Babaji's Discourses or Bhajans especially before meditation. That will calm your
mind. Organize your life. Clean up your home, workplace and the mind will follow
suit as you make a routine for sadhana and worldly duties. Blessings.

Q. Ishan Bhaiya! Thank you for this message, I would like to ask you that by the grace of Babaji, I
have received Shree Durga Saptashati Deeksha, and Shree Vidya Level 1 & 2 but doing both
every morning and evening means about 3 hours in total. Could you please throw some light
whether can we do it alternative days or any other manner in which we can combine both?
A. The process cannot be tinkered with. And so the best way out is to do one in morning
and the other in the evening. And for greater results continue the sadhana of
unconditional love, smile and forgiveness throughout the day. Blessings.

Q. Thank you, Ishan bhaiya, for always guiding us. I had a question? My husband has received
durga saptashati deeksha and Shree Vidya level 1 & 2…and Infinite Dimensional Sadhana. He
would like to know after doing Infinite Dimensional Sadhans does he have to invoke Sanjeevani
Shakti through Sun God with gratitude to heal all parts of our body? or just do the Infinite
Sadhana direct like in the CD & it also heals our Body too?
A. Namah Shivay. Doing the sadhana in itself heals multiple aspects of your life. But if
you have more time at hand and want to dedicatedly heal any body part then you
may take out separate time for doing so. Just bring the emotion of devotion towards
God and everything will happen on its own. Just surrender. On your part, you just let
go of the ill feelings within you towards yourself or others. Namah Shivay.

Q. Babaji, mere jeevan me bahut sare parivartan huye hay jab se main ShivYog se juri, par abhi
kuch dino se mera dhyaan bilkul nahi lag raha hay aur isse mujhe bahut bura lagta hay.
A. Namah Shivay. So long as we are in the grip of the Guru's Shakti, we feel blissful in
sadhana and there are no thoughts. The moment we resume ways which are
regressive, our downfall begins. Judging others, even so in the mind, criticizing others,
watching criticism on TV or hearing someone highlight the bad qualities of something
or someone, running towards greed, shouting at others, being jealous of others,
analyzing the incidents in your life, remembering past sorrow etc all contribute to
developing a stream of thoughts in the mind and the will to meditate automatically
goes away. Babaji says that, “Jab sansaar aur buraiya maan me hoti hay, to uthal
puthal mach jati hay, aur jab paramatma maan me hoti hay to param shanti ki
anubhav hoti hay. Isliye apne din-charya eysi rakhho, jisme sansaar aur adhyatma
ka sehi mishran ho, aur sahi samay par ho. Subah aur Shyam ko sadhana karna hi
karna. Isko bhulna nehi. Yadi vichaar adhik aaraha hay, to Mata-ke chitra ke aage
Deepak jalao, thora sankirtan karo, aur phir sadhana karo. Maa-se prarthana karo ki
--- He Maa, mujhe gyehri dhyan me le jao. Mere Sanchit-karmo ka bhakshan karo.
Main aapni sabhi buraiya ko chhorti hun. Main sabhi kuch aapko arpit karti hun.
Main swayam ko kshama karti hun. Main sabhi ko kshama karti hun. Main sabhi se
prem karti hun.” To calm your mind down a little more, watch Babaji's videos, even if
for 5 minutes or 10 minutes daily. This YouTube channel has been created for this very
purpose  https://www.youtube.com/user/ShivYogchannel

Q. Namah Shivay.....It is appreciated to follow the dedicated alter, time, asan, place...But what
about "swansa di mala naal simran main tera naam" Some time one finds self chanting Shree
Vidya Mantra unintentionally, any place, other than the Pooja room or in bed. Kindly forgive
my ignorance and clarify the doubt. Namah Shivay!
A. Namah Shivay ji. Sadhana only in the pooja room & connection all the time. There is
no restriction on establishing connection through breath any time else. Also follow the
routine of DevKarma in the morning, SakaamKarma in the afternoon and Shanti
Karma in the evening. Balance of spiritual & worldly life as ShivYog suggests can only
be made when one is sincere in following this routine. Dedicated time and place for
everything. Give your best at everything you do in every phase of the day. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, before offering old stock of Golden Book to river (Jal Samadhi) Can I
remove the Shree Chakra photo which is in the beginning and the last page of Golden Book?
A. Namah Shivay ji, Yes, you may do that. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, should we say Om Shree Durgaarpan Mastu after Swadhyay also like
we say in Durga Saptashati?
A. Namah Shivay ji, these are emotions not merely words. When you are in love, do you
ask your partner whether you should say sweet nothings to the partner? Do you ask
him/her whether you should smile? So why the question with God. More important
than what is being said, bring the emotion. Learn the significance of what you chant.
Unconditional love. You will get your answer. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, can you please tell me that how can we concentrate while studies?
A. Namah Shivay ji. Enhanced concentration is one of the direct consequences of ShivYog
meditations. When the Agya chakra is opened, automatically focus improves.
Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, I am watching videos of many renowned Saint like Aasaram Bapu,
Nityananda, Ramdev Baba, Jaggi Vasudev etc. In short I listen to their spiritual discourse
to gain more knowledge and more motivation to grow spiritually. And of course I watch
ShivYog videos too. Although I do spiritual sadhana of ShivYog only can watching or
gaining knowledge from any other Saint than our Babaji is not recommended in
ShivYog? Is it wrong to listen to other Saint for motivation in spirituality? Please
clarify. However I never attend their programs nor do their spiritual practice just listen them
for the sake of knowledge. I do spiritual practice of ShivYog only. Is it ok?
A. Namah Shivay. Hear out everything from everyone but follow only one. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay...Please suggest due to health problem, I am not able to follow the rules as
discussed. I am doing Durga Saptashati Sadhana without bath on a sofaset. Please clear my
doubt, if I am on a wrong path.
A. Namah Shivay. In ShivYog we do not talk about the ailment. We engross ourselves so
much in Dhyan that rest of the things attain secondary status. There is a proper
procedure and respect that we have to accord to such high energy meditations. It is
the Goddess that we are invoking. There has to be a certain sense of decorum.
Listening to chantings is fine the way you practice but Sadhana has to be done
properly. No compromises on that. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. How will us sadhak know, whether and when we have cleared our whole lot of
bad karmas completely?
A. Namah Shivay, when you see even a slight change in any aspect of your life, it is a
sign of release of karma. But we should not be waiting for things to happen. Sadhana
clears our karmas which are hurdle to the fruit of our actions. So when we release our
karmas, any action we do becomes a success. Blessings.

Q. Can I bring a Meru made of Copper or "Bell Metal (Pital)" at home.........what is the best
material??
A. Namah Shivay ji. Copper Meru is the best bet. Ensure that it is hollow from inside and
is not closed from below. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, Babaji. Babaji prnam. Babaji, main Meru ko har roj subha Sadhana ke samay
jal se abhisekh kar ke aapke bataye anusar, uspe sindur charata hu. To har roj abhisekh karna
thik hay? Aur Babaji, us sindur ko ekatthha karliya karu? ya jal abhisekh me jane du? kripaya
mera marg darshan kare. Om Namah Shivay Babaji.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Meru has to be offered only kumkum and not water. You can
perform the abhishek daily. The kumkum gathered can be sprinkled on your
important financial documents, on your safe and if surplus, you can give it jal
samadhi. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, how is “Deep Healing Shivir” different from “Advanced Shambhavi”? Are
they the same?
A. Namah Shivay ji. Advance Shambhavi activates the healing powers of the third eye
through which you can explore an entirely new world of cosmic powers as will be
explained during that shivir. Deep Healing shivir will include meditations for
purifying the seekers to ready them for higher meditations which will be slated
immediately after the shivir and which will be announced soon. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, I told someone the Lakshmi Mantra that Babaji taught us. That person recited
the mantra when planting wheat in his fields and he said that when the harvest is ready, then
he found that his harvest of wheat is the best in the entire village. I ask of you to share this
Mantra with all...especially the economically disadvantaged so that they can reap benefits...
A. Namah Shivay. You are requested to send the needy to any nearest Free of Charge
“Kishaan Shivir”, “Durga Saptashati Shivir” or any “paid higher level shivirs”. Wisdom
and Deeksha of the Mantras is not to be revealed to anyone else outside. That is only
for your well being. Prayers you can do. Blessings.
 [ Mantra is not just an ordinary word for reciting purpose, but a special type of vibration,
which can attract a particular type of energy (like Success, Health, Wealth, Healing etc.) from
the Universe, for that person, who is reciting that mantra continuously. So, the Mantra should
be awakened within that person’s sukshma sharira with it’s power of attraction in full & this
would be possible only by Mantra Deeksha (i.e. transfer of energy) from such a Guru, who
already awakened power of that Mantra in Full by many many years of hard Tapascharya. ] 

Q. Namah Shivay. How will I know whether I am technically doing my Shree Vidya Sadhana
correctly? I don’t know whether am doing it wrong since the start because till now I haven’t
neither been able to feel anything (energy & vibrations) at physical level nor seen some changes
in my life. Please shed some light. Also much gratitude to Babaji for the wonders he is
currently doing in Mauritius and Namah Shivay to Ishaan ji who made us laugh a lot these
past few days. Thank you in advance.
A. Namah Shivay. Without using too much logic and seeking perceptible
transformations, lead a normal life. ShivYog meditations work at a very subtle level
and they are a part of the routine. When you take bath, you do not keep pondering
over its good effects the whole day. It’s a task as part of the time table. Just like that,
perform the Sadhana and do not think too much over it. Change will come. Be
consistent. Do not skip Sadhana. Assign a fixed time for it each day. Just surrender to
the Guru. Whatever is happening just offer it to him. The mind resists any change. It
tries to give logic. It tries to question. Do not fall for this bait. Just treat Shree Vidya as
the most useful addition in your routine. Carry on with it without waiting for
miracles. Let the purification happen by itself. While in meditation give your best.
While carrying out worldly tasks, do your utmost. When engaged in spirituality, do
not think about the world. When engaged in the world, do not try to scratch out logic
about spirituality. Blessings.

Q. I don't get time in morning and evening. Can the Sadhana be done in afternoon?
A. Namah Shivay. Every phase of the day is assigned for some purpose. The morning
and evening times give the most benefit if worship is performed in these times.
Afternoon is the time for sakaam karma that is worldly pursuits. There has to be a
pattern and rhythm to life. When you disturb this rhythm, you are tinkering with the
spiritual clock. And the Guru's teachings are best followed uncontaminated. To
become a real human being and reach the state of ShivYog you have to be a winner in
spirituality as well as the world. ShivYog is the path of renunciation of vices, not life.
Our life is something very precious. We have to enjoy it and face what it serves us,
while staying connected to the divine. True ShivYogi is the one who does every task to
perfection and in the exact time allotted for it. If you can still not eke out time for
Sadhana during the morning and evenings and take this as the worst case scenario,
take solace in the fact that something is better than nothing. So in that case you may do
the Sadhana in the afternoon with less benefit. Blessings.

Q. Do we need to do Mata ki Chowki before doing Durga Saptashati?
A. Namah Shivay ji. There is no such compulsion. Blessings.

Q. Hum Shiv nehi. Shiv ke daas ho saktay hay. Anukaran nehi, anusaran karo. It is wrong
philosophy to think that --- “I am Shiva”.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Baat Shiv ki barabari ki nahi hay. Jab uske liye prem itna umarta hay
tab dwait (duality) ki bhavna samapt ho jati hay. Sadhana ki gehri abaastha me jab aap
jayenge tab aapko isi ki anubhooti hogi. Baki vaad vivaad mein to tark deke hum kuch
bhi siddh kar sakte hay. Jo baat likkhi gyayi hay woh ek gehri Sadhana ka ehsaas hay,
sirf likhne maatra ka kathan nahi. Sadhana kijiye aur iski anubhooti apko swayam
hogi. Shivratri ki hardik shubh-kaamnaye. Namah Shivay.
Second Answer :--
Reach the infinite in you. You are the whole universe in you. Discover the supreme
out of you. Cultivate your heart with love. Feed your soul with peace. Feel the
presence of boundless energy in you. You are the light. Attract the positive around
you. Awaken your consciousness and mind through knowledge. Control your anger,
win over conceit, battle the deceit in you and fight the lust. For these are your deeply-
rooted internal foes. One, who wins over them, cuts-off the web of karma and attains
peace. Be patient at bad times, and prudent at good. Serve, meditate and pray.
Eventually, you will discover the Shiva in you. Happy Shiva Raatri.

Q. Keya Shivratri brat karna jaruri hota hay? Is brat ka kya mahatta hay? Please reply.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Yes, Brat is important but real Vrat is keeping yourself distant from
negativity. Food comes much later. By negativity it means criticising yourself & others,
judging, being jealous and seeing others in a perspective other than Godly. On
Mahashivratri, the biggest Brat is not seeing the negative traits in others. Blessings.

Q . Babaji kehte hay ki gujre hue logo ka, jinka death ho gyaya hay, unki photo ghar main lagane ka
matlab ham unka prithhi tatwa chura ke rakh rahe hay or unka aabahan kar rahe hay to firr
Babaji ne apne Guru Nityananda Ji ka photo kiyu haam sabko dikha rahe hay?
A. Namah Shivay ji. Jo Siddha-Guru ban gaya woh to shunya ho gaya. Woh brahmand ki
urja me sammillit ho gyaya. Uska aadi aur ant nahi. Woh anant ho gyaya. Jitne bhi
Siddha Guru Hay, woh is prithhi ke niyam aur kayde se upar uth chuke hay. Unko
chahe hum tasbeer roop me pooje ya maan me, baat ek hi hay. Kintu jab tak manushya
ko aatma saakshaatkaar nahi ho jata, tab tak us par yeh mrityu lok ka niyam laagu
hote hay. Namah Shivay

Q. Can we do Durga Saptashati in a car?

A. When Babaji says car or train or when I say journey, I mean when it is long distance.
From our personal experience let me tell you, when we go to Rajasthan we do listen to
it in our journey. Let me make it very clear however that this doesn't mean that I’m
propagating laziness, that be lazy and don't do Durga Saptashati in the morning, sleep
late and then do in car. This is not ShivYog.
A man who takes Saptashati as Sadhana does it at proper times, only he has the luxury
to listen in car as well. This is so because he is too much in oneness with the Divine
Mother. Doing in car just for the sake of doing it is not right. When we do Durga
Saptashati to connect to our divine Mother, a ShivYogi will do it as a Sadhana and as a
luxury either in car or anywhere else but as addition to Sadhana. He will not just make

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 112

 
 
 it a habit to do it in the car. But a man who does not do the Sadhana at proper time
and does in car only to escape from proper methodology, is a man who doesn't have
luxury or shall I say licence to laze. Bless you. Namah Shivay.

Q. I want to meet Babaji, once in my life.

A. Namah Shivay ji. Why meet only once? If you begin doing Sadhana after receiving
initiation from him, you will see that not once but every moment of the day you are
meeting him. These are not abstract words. This is for real. You have to experience this
to understand. Blessings.

Q. I heard Mahadev residing in earth too at Kailash but why he is not talking, appearing like
before he did in previous ages.....if almighty God hide from his beloved children and
ignore.....then how to face this restless pain ......you are great ShivYogi. You know very closer
Mahadev can you send my message to him? Can you heal my pain? Babaji........
A. Namah Shivay ji. Shiva is not anywhere outside. He is within you. You should receive
the initiation from Babaji and begin healing your own self. You are Shiva. Kailash is
within you. Let Babaji guide you how to reach to Shiva within yourself. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji. I attended Goa Shivir & doing regular Sadhana, Shree Vidya & Durga
Saptashati also doing it regularly. After coming from Goa, whenever I sit for meditation, from
my Muladhar pain goes up to middle of my Spine, sometime less & sometime it's increase but
pain is not going & when it increase I suffer from high fever. Please Babaji heal me. & guide me
what should I do? I want to stay healthy. Please help.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Babaji teaches us drishtabhaav or witnessing rather than reacting
adversely. Do the chanting of the Guru Stuti before the Sadhana. Everything is for
your ultimate good. Sadhana is a phenomenon of a very high dimension. Your
cleansing at high levels is taking shape. Continue the good work. Blessings.

Q. Babaji says that we must pray to God and ask for what we want. Agreed. But then he says that
why pray? When we say to God "please give me this xyz thing" we are subconsciously giving a
message to ourselves that we don't already have that xyz thing. For instance, I was watching a
video in which Babaji said that he doesn't pray to god for rain, he just sits and visualizes rain
and it happens. And later in that video he said when we say "god please let it rain" ...We are
sending a message to our subconscious mind that it is Not already raining. Aren’t both these
things contradictory? Please clarify. What both those Baba's teachings mean exactly? Thank
you in advance, Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Babaji has attained a level of spiritual perfection where he can afford
to do many things which we can't. But it isn't as if there is an air of superiority in him.
He wants all of us to become like him spiritually and on the yardstick of the worldly
parameters. Whenever you want to materialize any situation or circumstance, you
have to first purify yourself through Sadhana. As you purify yourself, the process of
visualization will come into the picture. ShivYog says that when we repeatedly think
about something, persistently practice something and periodically visualize
something, we create a neuropath way of the action. And when the healing energy
combines with this neuropath way, the vibrations emitted by such an act manifest as a
physical reality. We do this through the use of the Golden Book. Write and read your
goals before and after Sadhana every day. All through the day perform the physical
actions to achieve that goal and during morning and evening, do the visualization.
More than the language it is the emotion that matters. You do not have to beg. You

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 113

 
 
 have to very happily seek and visualize. And as you visualize, bring the emotion of
gratitude. For example if you want to materialize 90% aggregate marks as a student,
the language is "I have scored 90% aggregate in 12th board exams and I’m extremely
thankful to the cosmic powers and my Guru for the same". Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. Babaji once said that in home, the things not used for more than two years,
start emitting negative energy. What should be done with the things not used for more than
two years? Can we clean them? Blankets clothes utensils etc. and reuse? or should they be
thrown? As they have negative energy should these be discarded quickly? Should these be
thrown even if they are in perfect conditions for reuse? In the past years we have kept house
hold things in our house and we visit home town after two years. So please let us know if these
should be replaced with everything new or should we reuse these old items during our short
stay of one or two months in our home town?
A. Namah Shivay ji. You do not need to throw anything. But keep only those things at
your home which you really use, even if once a year. Because everything that you
have, including furniture emits energy. And unused things emit grey energy. Undone
work emits grey energy. The things which are in perfect condition but are used must
not be thrown. Babaji talks about only unused objects. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. I am a student preparing for competitive exams. Every time, I write exam I am
losing by 2 or 3 marks. I have attended Prati Prasav and Shambhavi Healing please guide me to
solve this issue and show me the path for success.
A. Namah Shivay ji. While it is commendable that you have performed a SWOT
(Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) on yourself, you must not try to
dig too much into and see trends in your failures. Do not create neuropath ways in
your mind about failures. Moreover you are just there. ShivYog courses are the best
you could have done to understand this world and before anything your own self.
You are infinite. You must not bog down. Find out which sections/segments are your
weak points. Set targets to work on them. Every day, rejuvenate yourself in the
morning through Sadhana and then get to practice sincerely. Cut down on
distractions. In order to succeed in competitive exams, you need to have single
minded focus. You must devote a majority of your time to work for perfection.
Practice, practice and more practice. Before you sit for study, play the Healing Mantra
for half an hour near your study table. ShivYog meditations will calm your mind and
a healthy diet, adequate sleep and hard work will lead you through. Never skip
meditation. Ask Babaji to come and guide you. Make a time table. Follow a divine
rhythm in all your actions just as nature does and you shall surely succeed. You are
the blessed one. You have reached here with your efforts. The journey ahead too is for
you to traverse. Your Guru is just a call away. Just invoke him. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji. My heartfelt love, respect and gratitude. You are my Guru and my light
of knowledge. I have confusion and I wanted to ask something. The question is related to the
epic Mahabharata and Lord Krishna. My question is, if taking revenge is bad and it brings
about a lot of negativity for everyone involved, then why did Lord Krishna encourage the
Pandavas to take revenge from Dhritrashtra’s sons?
I am unable to frame the question properly but I believe my Babaji will get it. Looking forward
to hearing the knowledgeable answer. Lots of love. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay ji. The Mahabharata wouldn’t have been the great epic it is today, but
for Lord Krishna setting an example for all of humanity. He backed the righteousness,

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 114

 
 
 the dharma, the truth. He taught humankind that when it comes to protecting your
territory, your rights, what is due to you, you have to be firm. At no point did he
instigate the Pandavas. He merely raised their consciousness to open their eyes on
what they ought to do. The lower consciousness will read it as revenge. The Pandavas
were progeny of the Divine Devtas. They had taken birth for a purpose. They were no
ordinary men. Moreover, in every era there have been evil and there have been
upholders of righteousness. Lord Krishna just encouraged Pandavas to do what they
ought to have done as a duty but were shirking to do out of a misplaced sense of
inertia. This teaches us that if we are in a position of authority, we must exercise
control through firmness. Babaji says hiss but don’t bite. Be firm and strict but do not
let your inner unconditional love for others get contaminated. This is what true
dutifulness is. This space is too short to discuss this topic. In this limited space only
this much can be revealed. But more than anything else we must derive the right
lessons from the epics. To do that, ShivYog Sadhana is a must. Because a raised
consciousness interprets things with a very different viewpoint. Blessings.

Q. Is knowing God really so confusing phenomenon???

A. Namah Shivay ji. It is as easy as we want to make it and as confusing as we want to
make it. Perception is what takes us through. If you think God is too complicated, you
shall find him to be so. But if you bring love in everything you do, you shall him very
easily. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, when Shiva is the kartapurush, why do people do negative things? And if Shiv
is the kartapurush, how come humans have the power to choose? If nothing can take place
without Shiv agya, how come humans choose their action and thoughts? Briefly, when nothing
happens without Shiv agya and he himself (Shiva) is the kartapurush, and we are the part of
him why does negativity even exist?
A. Namah Shivay ji. Every action that we do is done with the sanction of the Almighty.
God is like the air. God has just provided us the medium to perform karma. It needs a
very high consciousness level to understand God as 'kartapurush' because those who
have experienced this have been highly accomplished spiritualists.. To explain it to
you in simpler terms, when a human being reaches a high spiritual level, he performs
all actions which are by their very nature holistic. And the will to purify oneself is so
much that the seeker does not even want to be remotely associated with ego.
So what he does is, to perform all actions which are pure. And when it comes to taking
credit for such pure actions, he attributes it to God. So you see this is what the
statement means. Live a very pure life. Do good always. And offer all that you do to
the Almighty. Regarding the negative people and things. You see, anyone who is
performing a sin, firstly he is miles away from the God sitting in his own self. He will
firstly have a sense of doer ship of karta bhaav, the ego. Then he will want to change
the world to his own liking, in other words non-acceptance.
So all this makes him of demon-grade or daanav prabritti. The Humans have been
given the right to do action so that through pure actions and following a path of
righteousness, they can negate their past negative actions without bringing forth the
sense of doer ship. These are very subjective and theoretical explanations. These are
best experiences. Although even theoretically all your doubts can be cleared on this
page but the problem is one doubt will lead to the other. One question will segue into
another. That is why Babaji says wisdom is best acquired through meditation.
Meditate on the theoretical teachings to know of their practicality. Read the book

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 115

 
 
 which is inside you. The answers to all such questions you derive through
contemplation using ShivYog meditations will be of utmost satisfaction and you will
not want to counter question, such will be the comprehensiveness of those answers.
You be the book, you be the reader and you shall find the truth. Blessings.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WnVHsgAzXA

Q. I am unable to understand your concept of God?

A. Namah Shivay ji. This situation is best for you. The things you do not understand, you
must meditate upon them. This is all the more reason to meditate. Perform the
meditation on a routine basis and all these things will naturally sound profound.
Explanations and discourses are best served with meditation. With eyes open, you can
explore the world only to a limited extent. There's a greater universe within you. For
that you have to close your eyes. All concepts will sound perfect only when you
meditate. Blessings.

Q. I need some guidance in my Sadhana timings, as my working culture is shift based from 2pm
to 11 pm, I return home by 12am. I am missing my night sleep and early Sadhana in Brahma
Muhurta. I am working in improvising my timings. I need to schedule myself for 2 pehers of
Sadhana morning and night as I witnessed tranquillity and bliss realizing my real self in the
past. Kindly suggest me the best timings for Sadhana suiting my profession.
A. Namah Shivay. To quote Babaji from Goa Shivir itself, choose a professional which
will help you evolve spiritually too. The profession you are in, entails going against
the flow of nature. So first problem lies here only. Night is for resting & day is for
work. Secondly, you yourself will have to fix a schedule a Sadhana routine. Daily
routine. Same Sadhana. Same time same place. In your case, you will have to fix a time
in the morning when you get up. Blessings.

Q. Sometimes after Shree Vidya Level-2 Sadhana, as I continue chanting the Mantra I feel I
hear/see some negative/scary images. What does this mean?
A. Namah Shivay ji. Shree Vidya is the highest meditation anyone can teach you. Just
emanate love all the time. The fear is nothing but the fright and guilt inherent within
you. Release that. No external entity can even touch you. Your Guru is always with
you and you are a very pure soul.
Blessings.

Q. Please tell me how to use MahaMrityunjay Metal Yantra to heal mental disease.
A. Namah Shivay. On a clean chit of paper write this --- “(Name of the person) purnatah
heal ho gyaya hay. Iske liye main bhagawan MahaMrityunjaya ka dhyanyabad karta
hu.” --- After writing this on the chit, fold the chit and place between two metallic
MahaMrityunjay Yantras and keep it at your pooja altar. This is no act of superstition
or matter of faith. This is a very scientific process which Babaji has unfolded for all the
dearest ShivYogis. If you are an honest and regular ShivYog sadhak, this will
materialize 100%. Send healing and love to the person every day. And also do not be
attached to any outcome of any of your action - whether spiritual or worldly.
Blessings.

Q. last year I had attended Adwait Shree Vidya Sadhana Shivir but because of some problem I
cannot continue my Sadhana, can I continue the Sadhana again? Please let me know.

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 116

 
 
A. Namah Shivay, the best bet is to let the energy flow uninterrupted. When we are fresh
out of a shivir, our purity level and also our energy level is high. We should capitalize
on this and do the Sadhana. You should attend a fresh shivir and do the Sadhana on a
daily basis starting then. In the meantime, you should perform the swadhyay and do
the seva. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, ShivYog Foundation, please clarifies some doubts regarding the Golden Book.
Babaji says to categorize the desires in 3 categories, i.e. Immediate goals, Midterm goals and
Ultimate goals. But at the same time he also tells us to write about the 12 houses which are also
mentioned in our horoscope. Ex. House, Family relations, respect in the society, physical body
etc. Now the thing is that in which category (Immediate goals, Midterm goals or Ultimate
goals) to put Which House? Like in which category should I put desired house, physical health
and relationships? If I put it in mid-term goals then where will I write very immediate goals
like "I have purchased this outfit"? Plus, in which category should I put the desires like "I am
attending the Art of Self Realisation & Kundalini Sadhana Shivir with my family in Goa"? I
would be grateful if you put Detailed Information on how to write the Golden Book on your
page or on YouTube. Thank you in advance. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay. Divide the Golden Book into three parts. Write about your long term
goals on the last pages, the midterm goals in the middle and reserve maximum space
for the short term or immediate goals because they will be written more or less on a
daily basis. Understand what the 12 houses are and what all aspects of life they cover
and write individually for each aspect. It’s not like you have to follow a strict pattern.
You only have to know what the 12 aspects are. Once you know that, you can assign
the amount of space to each as per your understanding. For example you are a
student. Then it is not necessary that you would like to give too much importance to
the section of the spouse because that will come under long term. There will be no
mention of the spouse aspect in the short term goals or midterm goals. Likewise you
should follow for each aspect. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, thanks a lot for your answer. When we do Sadhana and invoke Sanjeevani, is it
advisable to visualize our Golden Book and send/project Sanjeevani on it? Will it accelerate the
materialization process??
A. Namah Shivay ji, You have to read the Golden Book and visualize the goals before and
after every Sadhana and also once before the sleep. To enhance materialization
powers, maintain more stillness of the mind through more and more meditation and
sticking to a strict discipline of staying away from all forms of negativity. Blessings.

Q. Yeh garibo ka desh hay. Please lower class ke logo ko bhi sath jorie.

Q. Namah Shivay...now if there is rebirth...then why can’t we remember our past life?
A. Namah Shivay, Jaati Smaran or the memory of past life has been removed by God
because if that were to be allowed, people will create chaos. Everyone is as it is so
attached to their possessions and close ones and over and above that if memory of past
is granted, they would stake claim over it. The ability to see the past is there but only
in those who are pure enough. The motive to see the past births is not to enjoy the
sensationalism. The motive is to release the negative emotions accumulated back then.
Because the present misery has its root in past traumas, emotions and sorrows which
need to be released. All diseases are also owing to emotions. There are many you tube
videos of Babaji where he has himself answered your question. It’s a long answer and
all can’t be explained here. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, I have heard about... near death experience...like travelling through a dark
tunnel which ends with a bright light...is these all true or just hallucinations?
A. Namah Shivay all these are true but one must not view them with excitement. Just
witness. Like all other experiences, these too are for real. During the Art of Dying
Shivirs of Babaji some sadhaks have actually experienced these. Blessings.

Q. So, if you are caught between two situations - one, to meditate and the other to do some worldly
chhore, choose the former --- I do also think meditation is important but we don't have to take a
whole entire day to serve others, there is an opportunity to serve people even if it’s a small act.
A. Namah Shivay ji. 365 days we work. At least some time we must reserve for extensive
service. Without service, life is listless. Without meditation, life is directionless.
ShivYog professes a holistic living. Worldly & spiritual must be balanced. For example
you cannot use your phone relentlessly without charging it's battery. Meditation and
service to humanity are battery chargers. You have to pay the price for whatever you
get in life. You have to evolve. Babaji says divide your day into three categories
according to the nature of tasks in that period. Morning should be reserved for Deva
karma. Then Sakaam karma and in the evenings shanti karma. Deva karma implies all
the actions such as breath work, meditation and sankirtan which unfold the divine
within you and which fill you with pure energy to work with perseverance the whole
day. In the period of sakaam karma, make your full effort to fulfil your worldly duties
with sincerity, honesty and dexterity. In the evening find peace by spending good time
with the family. This is what ShivYog is. Sadhana, seva and sankirtan daily, while also
following worldly duties. This is the path of enjoyment of worldly goodness and
renunciation of vices. And in the end this path will lead one to salvation or Self
realization, Blessings.

Q. Om Namah Shivay, Guruji. But from very beginning till today Bad Karma People is also
enjoying like Politicians, Big Industrialist etc. & they have Power and Money, can buy
anything like in Mandir there is VIP entry....why? They do big Pooja and Yagna from best
Pandit, Meet big, big Spiritual people directly. What it means? Please guide.

A. Namah Shivay ji. What we are looking at is to attain happiness and evolution through
ways which lead us to self-realization. The devil is also very rich but in the end it is
slayed by the Gods. As humans we have been given a choice. Meditate, purify and
attain everything without getting too attached and finally ascend. Or cheat, lie,
deceive, fool, beg, borrow and steal. Babaji talks about Self-Realization. It is the
highest accomplishment for a human being. So to reach there, one has to be focussed.
What others are doing, they will have to pay the price for it. By indulging in
corruption or cheating be it physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, one can never
find peace. You can steal billions of dollars but you will not find peace. Your face will
never glow. Your life will be full of fear, full of diseases. All the time you will think
about ways of trickery. The kind of people you are talking about will never attain
ascension, their coming generations will undergo massive suffering and they are
living an animalistic life without growth. There has to be shine in life. Always take a
good example. Do not eye what is not yours. Never cheat. Never be inspired by the
devil. We have to choices at all times with us. One path will lead us to our soul
wandering, suffering not only in this birth but for millions of years. Another path
which ShivYog helps you guide on, is that of getting all the worldly comforts through
legitimate ways. And not only legitimate, the ways are divine, spiritual and will help
you excel in the world as well as on the spiritual front. Blessings.

Q. One more question please, I am not a Hindu. Can I learn this Miracle Science? Thank
you very much for reply.
A. Namah Shivay ji. The meditations and healing have nothing to do with religion.
This is spirituality. This is subtle science. Any kind of religious connotations are
out of this. In fact you will be glad to know that already people of various religions
are practitioners of ShivYog. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, just out of curiosity - it is advised that to attend the highest deeksha shivir
which is gonna happen in Singapore, one should have attended a Shambhavi Shivir earlier.
What I wanted to know is why are we not eligible to attend this shivir if we haven't attended
any of the Smabhavi Shivirs earlier. In other words, isn't it strange that there is "eligibility
criterion" for something as divine as a shivir? What is Babaji's point of view on this?
Moreover, what will go wrong if a person who hasn’t attended any of the Shambhavi Shivirs
will attend this programme directly in Singapore? Thank you, Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Logic can twist any fact or reality. When we are in an academic
school, do we question the fact that why we need to be in class 1 before going to class
2? Why not go to the class 12 or perhaps not even that, college straightaway?
Shambhavi & Shree Vidya are most sacred meditations. When the essential academic
education is kept step wise for perfect development and learning in an individual, this
sacred science of ShivYog is all the more essential to be given in that way since it
involves the blessing of indescribably large amount of energy. To receive that, one
must become pure by not only receiving the basic deeksha first but practicing it at
one's end to attain a certain threshold level of purity before becoming worthy for
something greater. It's a very simple and fundamental rule of every learning process.
There has to be a nuanced approach to learning. Blessings…

Q. Babaji...sometimes... it’s like I am creating something and even strong creation with full
imagination, Happiness, unconditional acceptance and love and try to send that message in my
deep consciousness or inside me through meditation. But strange thing happen with me is... In
meditation, when Babaji ask "Tum Chahte Keya Ho?”, when the time comes to speak my desire

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 119

 
 
 or pray to my wish... I always remain silent even you ask me again and again... it’s not that I
forgot... it’s like I could not speak even smallest wish like "I need a chocolate". After
disappointment I falsely satisfy myself.... "okay Uski Raza me Meri Raza...Jis Vidhi Raakhe Us
Vidhi Rahna Hay... Har Haal me Khushi... so create kya karna". I don’t know why... where I
am going wrong?? Yes, my loving Babaji you always said... "God is always ready to give you...
Tum mangte hi nehi... usse ek baar maag kar to dekho. Your richest father is always ready to
give to his loving children". Babaji Please guide your daughter.....how I overcome this issue?
Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay ji. This is a typical case of being a prisoner of one's intellect. It is very
good that we understood the teachings of Babaji so well. And in fact we remember
them by heart. But we must realize that more important than knowing about the
teachings, what holds the key is the implementation and application of these in our
lives. If as mortals living a good social life we say all of a sudden that what we need is
Moksha, we are cheating ourselves. Likewise, to say that I don't want to desire
because Jis Vidhi Rakhe Us Vidhi Rahiye is to cheat yourself. This phrase is used in a
very different context. Do not mix the teachings. You know deep inside what your
desires are. Of course you want to live happily. Isn't that a desire? Of course you want
everyone to love you. Isn't that a desire? Of course you want to have chocolates. Isn't
that a desire? You know exactly what you want from life. Which places you wish to
visit before you die. What joy you want to experience before you are ready to
undertake your spiritual journey. So firstly, we must understand that when in
ShivYog we say renunciation or giving up, it is not the desires that we are giving up.
Doing that would be a sin. What we should give up is our vices. Our bad habits. As for
desires, live them. Constantly write your desires, your wishes and your longings in
the Golden Book. Think with happiness how much joy you will experience if you get
what you want. It can be any worldly thing from a caring spouse to an adventure trip
to a great smart phone to reaching an excellent state of physical health to reducing
weight. Any and every desire with purity at heart. Also, the desire must not be based
on falsity. For example writing in the Golden Book I want to become president of my
country tomorrow. And if that doesn't materialize, you begin feeling sad. Desires must
be based on truth. What you really want. Do not try to give yourself a false
encouragement by feeling that I have no desires. You are treating a teaching as a
pretext to not pay the price for something you want in life. Yes you have a desire. Yes
you have to write it in the Golden Book. Yes you have to meditate. Yes you have to
focus on your desire. Yes you have to work to fulfil that desire. And yes the desire will
materialize. Blessings.

Q. Babaji ke songs konse site pe milte hay?

A. Namah Shivay ji you should always try and buy the CDs and DVDs. Downloading
them and uploading them is morally, ethically and spiritually wrong. In ShivYog we
perform the Sadhana to clear our karmas. But when we promote piracy, we are
promoting negative karmas. Remember the golden ShivYog lesson of nothing comes
for free. You have to pay the price for everything. Always select the path of
truthfulness. Blessings.

Q. Gurudev, I want to know that the Durga Saptashati Beej Mantra have been provided by you
but Niskilan & Kilak Mantra have not been provided by you. In Durga Saptashati book it has
written that who will do saptashati without niskilan & kilak, it will not work & there is no
benefit & also he will be destroyed. What is niskilan & kilakam? Please reply me Gurudev.

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 120

 
 
A. Namah Shivay ji. Guru Bakyam Param Bakyam. Whatever has been taught to you in
the shivir is cast in stone. Babaji has unlocked these mantras through his own shakti.
You need not to worry about other things. Just practice the teachings without logic or
question. Blessings.

Q. Could I perform the keelakam, argala-stotram and kavacham paath before Durga Saptashati
Saadhana & how did in daily routine please guide me, Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Whatever instructions the Guru gives during the shivir are to be
followed as it is. No adding or subtracting anything else. If you have attended the
shivir, you will know everything. Babaji makes it very clear during the shivirs. He's a
class master. Receive his grace in a shivir. Blessings.

Q. I am making the new Pooja Room in North East Corner (Ishan Kon) of my house.
Please Babaji, tell me how the Pooja Room of ShivYogi should be?
A. Namah Shivay ji. No clutter. Minimal idols. Very clean. Only natural incense sticks.
Minimal or no electricity gadgets. Lots of MahaMrityunjay Yantras & Shree
Yantras. Minimal furniture. Only Meru and Shivlinga. Blessings.

Q. Though I feel lot of energy since after 21 Dec. 2012, but now I see back even now my emotional
state is in turmoil, confusing, trying to surrender but lower vibrations don’t leave, when doing
Shree Vidya sometimes body starts burning like hell, I do 9 times continuous Durga Saptashati
a day then also feel dizziness, fear.....I know I am facing my Real Self, emotions are on surface
to heal...unable to release them....had lot of red acne eruptions on face...now in control...lower
emotions are not going away...I am a engineering student. Studies are going through downfall
from last 1 year...I am unable to handle lot of energy it’s difficult to study sometimes vibrations
starts to happen so much I can't concentrate. I’m not lying, its ego, sometimes when just
sitting or lying on bed doing nothing feel pain in lower spine, energy on forehead but nothing
is happening in life. Emotional state is so negative at this age. I don’t like my friends whom I
used to be with before. I am always feeling alone. I am still in fearful, frustrated, confused,
alone state....I am thinking of attending Goa Shivir...Should I attend???
A. Yes, indeed you do need the refuge of the Guru. Attend a Shivir and follow a Sadhana
pattern daily after that. Make a time table. Organize your life. Problems are indication
that somewhere you are going wrong in following some teaching. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay!! Thanks a lot for sending Babaji's divine messages through facebook... I have
some queries to have an answer from Babaji.
(1) Should Meru be covered all day long after Sadhana? or it should be kept open in mandir so
that its energy can flow in house?
(2) I have got 3 Saptashati Beej Mantra books but the very first book which was the very first
printed book in blue cover in Gurgaon Shivir does not match with newly printed books.
Can I use it for Sadhana or keep that aside for its misprinted mantras? Kindly reply...
A. Namah Shivay. The personal Meru on which you perform the Sadhana must be kept
stationery, covered with a red cloth at all times and no other person should be able to
see it. If you have more merus on which you don’t perform Sadhana, they can be kept
slightly open for the positivity to spread. Secondly, the book which you have bought
most recently is to be used and the most recent Sadhana is to be done. Blessings.

Q. How to deal with the fear of confronting someone who has hurt you in past, and you don’t
confront them because they might hurt you again? Please guide.

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 121

 
 
A. Namah Shivay ji. Forgiveness is Divine. To take make an analogy from the above post,
when you forgive someone, you let the proverbial monkey off your back. Realize the
fact that whatever is happening with you in this life is a direct consequence of your
action at some point in time in either this or some other life. The Shree Vidya Sadhana
of ShivYog is all about dematerializing your past to heal not only your own traumas,
phobias and impression but also free you of the bondages with others. It is not
necessary that you have to keep everyone associated with your past with you forever.
In fact as the energy of a sincere ShivYog sadhak changes, the circle of people around
him changes automatically and quite naturally. So, it is not necessary that everyone
has to compulsorily remain in your life. When you are done with the Sadhana, pray
for those who have hurt you. Seek forgiveness and just break the cycle of cause and
effect. The day you start wishing good and praying for someone who has hurt you, it
is the day you have truly forgiven him. It is the day you’re ready to be a true sadhak.
The purpose of your birth is not to entangle yourself further in emotional mess.
Problems will be there but Babaji's teachings have solution to all problems. Pure
intention, unconditional love, acceptance, forgiveness, Sadhana, seva, sankirtan all
will help you a great deal. And when we say Babaji is our Guru, we must understand
that if we understand him as our Guru, we must surrender to him. Surrender means
our will and His will unify. We offer whatever is ours to him. And what exactly is
ours? Our vices, our emotions, our pent up fears, anger, resentment etc. So just give
these to your Guru because he alone can take you through this journey and that with
your own finite capabilities and worldly logic, you will fall. You are most welcome to
attend the strongest Prati Prasav shivir for understanding best the long text that you
have just read. Blessings.

Q. Help. While doing one time Durga Saptashati Paath, the process starts and ends normally. I
mean as in the book.
(1) My question is, what Steps should be followed when we are doing more than one
path? Normally it is --- < intentionally removed from here >--- Now please tell me if it is
required to do every step while doing say 11 or 51 Paath. To my little knowledge I don’t
think step… is required every time and I am confused about step…, step…, step…, step...
(2) How to perform Durga Saptashati Yagna, after 100 Paath. At least what samidha should
be used? and should aahuti be given like Beej-Mantra+Swaha? or only Beej-Mantra?
Kindly reply as soon as possible..... It is very urgent.
(3) Very serious ... when I do one paath on regular basis then it’s ok but whenever I try to go
for more paaths 3, 4, 5 mouse, lizards etc. starts to come & break my concentration,
something falls on me from nowhere.. Please ask some senior Sadhak & help me out.
A. Namah Shivay ji. The Durga Saptashati Sadhana is very sacred. It must never be
discussed like this. As for animals disturbing your Sadhana, it has nothing to do with
Sadhana. You have created a negative belief. Attend a Durga Saptashati Shivir and
receive deeksha from Babaji. Then start doing it at your end. The meditation steps and
procedures cannot be discussed here or anywhere for that matter. It should only be
listened and comprehended from the Guru himself. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, is it wrong process to meditate Shree Vidya Sadhana on lying

flat...if one is sick how to do sadhana??? Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Firstly Shree Vidya Sadhana is very sacred. Do it only if you have
taken the deeksha from Babaji in a shivir. It is a very sensitive Sadhana. Sadhana is
not possible while lying flat. Only Mantra Jap, that too, if Initiation has been taken

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 122

 
 
 in a shivir. If you have taken deeksha, do the Mantra Jap, mentally while lying
down. You will recover fast. Also, a Shree Vidya sadhak will not fall sick if he/she
has been doing the Sadhana & Pran Kriyas daily. Blessings.

Q. In USA there are not much slam area, that there is in Indian, what are my choices?
A. Namah Shivay ji. You have to identify people who are living in poor conditions.

Q. Babaji, when I do Sadhana I feel strong vibration arising from left foot which shakes my whole
body as a result I am not being able to do Sadhana properly please help me. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Just witness. Do not be so overwhelmed by the experience. Let it
happen. Just focus on the Sadhana. A guided meditation will help. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. I haven’t been practising self healing lately (three months) out of
negligence. I would like to know whether the Sanjeevani Shakti given by Babaji is
still active? And whether I can still practise this Sadhana?
A. Namah Shivay ji. You are the creator. Swadhyay with emotions, charity to the needy
will help you be in that mode again. That energy will most certainly return when
you do these two daily and then start the meditation regularly again. All the best for
your reboot. Babaji is always with you. Blessings.

Q. Hello, I Just want to know if it is advisable to practice Siddha Kriya past mid night....
A. Namah Shivay ji, if you were to follow Babaji's Teachings to the core, he says sleep
early and wake up early. After a time at night, the destructive energies take over so it
is not advisable to stay up till late. Do the Sadhana early morning and in the evening.

Q. Namah Shivay, can I get the detailed CD of the Chakra Meditation which was taught to us in
Goa as I’m a bit confused with the petals, I just know the location of the chakras.
A. Namah Shivay ji. More than the technical aspects, this meditation relies on your
emotion of devotion. For your knowledge here is the no. of petals in each chakra 

Chakra Location Petals

Muladhar tip of the Tail Bone 4
Swadhisthan below the Navel 6
Manipur Navel 10
Anahat Chest region (centre) 12
Vishuddhi Throat 16
Agya between the Eye Brows 2
Sahastrasaar centre of the Skull 1000

Q. --- < removed from it’s original source i.e. ShivYog official facebook-page >---
A. Namah Shivay your comment is being removed. The mantras are very very sacred.
They are never to be written explicitly or any discussion about them held. Whatever
you grasped during the shivir is what is best for you and your consciousness.
Whatever you currently do, do it with emotion of devotion and it will start showing
results. Have the belief that you are doing what is best for you. Doubts mean logic.
And meditation has no logic. A sacrosanct thing as a Sadhana cannot be discussed
here in such vivid detail. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, Namah Shivay, I attended recent Chennai Intensive Shambhavi Shivir.
There Babaji told that you can use Shambhavi Shakti while during Shree Vidya Sadhana.
Please guide me as I’m confused where to send Shakti and how to incorporate in Shree Vidya
Sadhana. I am initiated in Shree Vidya Level-3 in Goa last year.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Before you do the Shree Vidya Sadhana , just perform the invocation
as taught in the Advance Shambhavi Shivir. You do not have to think where you have
to send it. After the invocation, just do the steps of the Shree Vidya-3 as Babaji
explained so beautifully in 2012 in Level-3. The Shambhavi Shakti will automatically
go where your thoughts go. So, you only have to focus on the steps of the Shree Vidya,
rest everything will happen automatically. And, Yes, once you are done with the
Sadhana, remember to thank the Shakti and the Guru. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, Namah Shivay. Babji told to do continuous mantra in mind whenever
you can. Please tell me whether we should do Shree Vidya Mantra or Shambhavi Mantra? If I
have debt of money and I have to give to persons can I write in Golden Book, that I now have
the money and I have paid to them? I am grateful to Lord Shiva and Babaji for the grace? or is
it negative, because debt is there? Please clarify?
A. Namah Shivay ji. If you wish to practice the Shree Vidya Sadhana, do its
corresponding mantra. If you wish to do the Shambhavi meditation, do the
Shambhavi mantra. Everything Babaji has explained so well that there is infect no
need for any explanation. Do as Babaji said in the shivir. Secondly, write only that you
are very prosperous and wealthy. No mention of debt. Also, begin charity. Even if it
means a small Rs. 5/- chocolate to the poor every single day without forgetting. Do
the Shree Vidya Sadhana with the Meru. So that means 3 things you have to perform
every day. First, Shree Vidya Sadhana , second Golden Book writing and reading and
third charity. To make this even quicker and better, do all this in a dedicated pooja
room with a jyot before Devi Maa's Picture and recite the Swadhyay, particularly the
MahaLaxmi Stotram and the Durga Stuti. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji.....please clear the query of Mrityunjay Hawan in home. Keya ladies
hawan kar shakti hay....there is some controversy in our Hindu Granths regarding it.
A. Namah Shivay ji, there is no controversy. Woman must live free if we are to progress
as a society. When the Goddess does not take leave on any day of the month, why
should we? What you mentioned is just another biological process. Worship is
unconditional, beyond the limits of biology or physical conditions. Do the Sadhana,
seva and sankirtan every single day of the month. Blessings.

Q. Koti koti dhanyabad......thanks for reply...Babaji hamne ghar me hawan suru kiya tha but in
one week samay kuch negative result samne aaye ...so sab ne Hindu Puran ko medium batate
hue kaha ki ghar me hawan nehi kar sakte ......so may dar gyaya hu ...Please help me.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Do the Shree Vidya Sadhana everyday. And remove this superstition
that the Hawan has caused negativity. This is not possible. Babaji has taught a simple
way of doing the hawan by performing the aahuti of MahaMrityunjay mantra. It can
never be that by doing any of the worshipping rituals especially those taught by Babaji
cause any sort of harm. Remove this belief that remembering God brings bad luck or
harm or damage. Clean your home. Allocate a separate pooja room. And do the
Sadhana as well as hawan there. You will get unbelievably successful results.
Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, can we do Shambhavi and MritSanjeevani Sadhana before Sunrise and after
Sunset by tapping Sun God? Please please please clear our confusion.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Guru Bakyam Param Bakyam. It is up to us to contaminate the
teachings and then apply them or follow the teachings as the Guru tells them. Babaji
says Shmbhavi Sadhana at sunrise, not before. After sunset Shree Vidya Sadhana
when shakti is prevalent. Although doing the Shambhavi Sadhana after Sunset will
not cause any harm or not be beneficial. Just that its efficacy will be reduced greatly.
Blessings.

Q. Which is the correct mantra to recite - "Om Hroum Jum Sah" or "Om Jum Sah"
A. Namah Shivay ji, the best mantra is the one, given by Babaji, during the shivir, which
you attended. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. Request healing for self & hubby. Koti Koti Dhanyabad!
A. Namah Shivay ji. Babaji sending lots of healing to you and your family. Just sit for half
an hour early in the morning in your pooja room with the healing mantra on. Feel the
grace in every single organ of your body by slowly feeling every part of the body with
total awareness and constant deep breathing. Before starting the mantra do the Guru
stuti and thank the Guru. Lots of divine energy you shall receive. Babaji has really
expanding his ways of healing. These days, he has been praying a lot for all sadhaks.
And you are the radio. The healing waves you can catch by the method of attuning
mentioned above. Blessings.

Q. Shivyog Foundation, I have a question. Why is it that the so often recommended Prati Prasav
Sadhana Shivirs have not been happening lately? They are not organised under the Grace of
Babaji in India since a long time, and now even they are not happening by Acharya Ishanji as
well. It’s been a long time, and especially in North India, the last one was in July in New Delhi
last year. Though it’s recommended in almost every Shivir I attended or watch any video either
online or on TV, Babaji says that Sadhaks must do Prati Prasav Sadhana Shivirs once every
6 months. Please reply and (most importantly) Shower the Sadhaks with the Grace, by
organising more of Prati Prasav Sadhana Shivirs in future or webcast, as suitable (or any
online Shivirs if possible be organised at a central place in a city, like Austria one. Thank you
again for everything bestowed in numerous ways always. Om Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay ji your request has been sent to Babaji and Ishan ji. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. I need guidance on how to completely get rid of anger that I find within me.
Even after I let it out I feel guilty as I have hurt someone’s feelings. Please guide me.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Focus must not be on the worldly things. The moment you crib
about your problems not going away, it will mean that you have become too attached
to the problem. ShivYog is the path of additions. To remove a problem in life, add
something which is a counter to the problem. Instead of thinking about your problem
going away, just concentrate on raising the volume of Sadhana, seva and sankirtan in
your life. So that means if you were meditating for 20 minutes once a day, make it
twice a day. If you were not doing sankirtan, take out at least 15 minutes in the day to
do one chapter each from Guru khand, Shakti khand and Shiv khand from the
Swadhyay. If earlier you were unable to donate food to the poor, start with donating a
chocolate to a single person. These new additions in your life will slowly expand and
take over your emotions of guilt and anger. Just surrender to your Guru, not to your
past. Live in the present moment. Do not visualize negativity. Babaji is sending you

 healing. Do the Shree Vidya and release these emotions. But do not think about the
past even for a single day. Make the additions as mentioned here. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, I attended Chennai Shivir (May 12-17) can I do Durga Saptashati Sadhana?
A. Namah Shivay ji. Yes, being an intensive Shambhavi Sadhak you can do it but for
utmost results, you have to take the deeksha in the Saptashati first. Although it is no
harm doing it if you are a regular Shambhavi Sadhak and have the intention of
purifying yourself. Babaji's prayers and healings you shall receive in the morning
every day. Just do the Guru Stuti and awareness breathing. Blessings,

Q. Namah Shivay, I have few questions, in the Goa shivir. It was told that the cell phone,
computer and any kind of electronic device should be switched off while doing the sadhana, as
the electromagnetic waves interfere with our vibrations, but it was also told to keep playing the
CD of the mantra to generate positive vibrations, so how do we play the CD if the computer or
phone needs to be switched off? Also, I would like to know that if Sunrise is happening at
4:51am in my area, it’s better to get up at 4am, take a bath and then do the Sadhana as it will
be dark then.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Firstly paste a Shree Yantra sticker on the gadget and also wear a
Shree Yantra pendant in your neck through a thread. Keep the mobile phone on flight
mode and laptop some feet away. Secondly, Yes, get up before Sunrise, do with the
cleaning of the body and then do the meditation at the Sunrise time. Blessings.

Q. Babaji, Namah Shivay, Can we all conduct a prayer for Perfect Monsoon in India. This will
help our country as a whole. I mean I am asking all Sadhaks to start praying for perfect
monsoons.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Truth be told, if a sizeable proportion of ShivYog Shree Vidya and
Shambhavi Sadhaks send healing to the universe, this will become a reality. The
power of collective healing is beyond three dimensional phenomenon’s. But before
everything else, charity begins at home. Am I pure enough? Is my own life perfect? If
not then progress in the chain in the order :
Caring for Self  Family  Society  Community  Country  World  Nature.
At your end, if you have a strong desire to send healing to the rain Gods, you may do
so out of unconditional love. Drought and no rain signify lack of good etheric
environment. By your good deeds of charity and healing you can and in fact every
ShivYogi can transform not only weather but the overall physical and etheric
environment. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, ShivYog Foundation. Utmost gratitude to Babaji for everything. I am ShivYog
Shambhavi and Shree Vidya Sadhak and practicing sadhana regularly. My query is -- how to
heal a land court case situation? what should I do? where to send Shambhavi Shakti? and how
to heal the whole situation? Please guide me as it is, most important matter for me.
A. Namah Shivay ji. If you are a practicing ShivYog sadhak, you would know that every
land has a Sthaan Devta. Send the energy to the Sthaan Devta of the land and pray for
the ascension of the land. Send the Shakti daily after Sadhana and start doing the
Durga Saptashati as taught by Babaji if you have been initiated in that. Light a lamp
using mustard oil every day and write in your Golden Book very positively about you
winning the case. For example "I have won the …… case. I am grateful to Lord Shiv-
Shiva and my Guru for this grace. Write and read this every day before and after
Sadhana. The power of prayer exceeds that of anything else. Also understand that

 whatever happens in the life of a true sadhak, does so for his ultimate good. The
ascension process must never stop, irrespective of the situations in life. Because we can
only see the short term good. Maa Lalita knows our ultimate good. So surrender to her
and carry on your Sadhana. Follow some of the things written here and you shall
succeed. But you have to do this for some days at a stretch. It isn’t like tomorrow you
have a hearing and a day before you start. What we are basically doing is purifying
ourselves. These are no remedies. The things told to you are ways of getting rid of
your karmas. ShivYog says the greatest hurdle is you yourself. The greatest remedy is
you yourself. It’s just that you need to realize who you are by purifying your past
karmas which are the root cause of present day misery. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. I have been told by sadhaks that healing is much faster if we go to Satsang or
Shivir where collective consciousness is more but if someone is disable or has physical challenge
can he do meditation at home? Also by the way of listening Babaji’s Audios, is it possible to get
healed? What are the ways available, if someone wants to do get healed at home?
A. Namah Shivay ji. If the person cannot heal himself, someone from his family i.e. the
immediate family can learn the healing and direct the healing at him. For chronic and
severe diseases, strong healing has to be sent over a long period of time because in
such cases, the karmas are very very strong and to release them, you have to make an
equal effort and reach a level of purity where your healing powers reach a
commendable level. Blessings.

Q. Sir, something bitter has happened...I was in love...and I didn't realize it, until the subject of
my love did something utterly stupid. and due to thoughts of natural justice...I protected
her...and now she is moving on in life with the subject of her desire...and well I feel like a
football...and bitter feelings creep into me and I was successful in forgiving myself and her and
wishing her all the best but what to do angry thoughts come in..& I feel like a fool...being you is
impossible...Highest regards.
A. Namah Shivay ji. ShivYog says that love must be unconditional. There must be
happiness in every situation, acceptance of everyone the way they are and most
importantly for you forgiveness from the heart. Learn to let go. In one birth you do
something bad. In other births others do the same with you. Now that you have
received deeksha from a Siddha Guru, just break this cycle. Do the Sadhana. Raise
your consciousness. There is no end to drowning yourself in the pool of materialistic
pursuits. People will come and go in your life but this opportunity to avoid any future
mishaps through cutting of the karmas using Sadhana will not come back. Do not
bring kartaabhaav in any of your actions. You only become the medium to do
something for others. This is decided by God. Every failure has a seed of success
hidden in it. This is your opportunity to learn that there is a higher power running
things. Just surrender to the will of the higher power. Shiva loves you. Just devote
yourself to him. He will put everything right. Unconditional love is without
conditions. Anger is surfacing because you are bringing kartaabhaav that I did so
much for her. I did this. I did that. This I is the main culprit. It's the false ego dear
ShivYogi. Come out of the misery of cause and effect. Just let go. Do the prati prasav
Sadhana. Release all the negativity. Whatever has happened is for your ultimate good.
You are evolving. You must not stop. Raise your vibrations. Do not get lost in the
maya. This all is illusion. You came alone and you will leave alone. Do seva. Make
your life purposeful. Render your services for the poor, for the needy. Direct your
energies towards divinity. Sadhana, seva and sankirtan are the three best ways to

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 127

 
 
 wriggle out of your situation. Do the Shree Vidya Sadhana. The need for you to be a
sadhak is now more than ever. Do not enmesh yourself more and more about bringing
in thoughts about other people. Make your life divine. Do the sankirtan. Do the
sadhana. Do the seva. Channelize your energy to reach self realization. Don’t get
stuck. People will come and go. Forgiveness is divine. Set targets of divinity. Send love
to all. Babaji's meditations and teachings are so rich. It’s time we begin following them.
Blessings.

Q. What’s the emotion of surrender?

A. Namah Shivay ji. Surrender to the Guru means complete devotion to his teachings.
Surrender does not mean being a slave but it is the sense of obedience which leads one
directly to self realization. In the state of surrender if the Guru says unconditionally
love everyone, you love everyone without having exceptions. Surrender is aligning
your will with the divine will such that you are very close to being God yourself.
Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. Babaji often employs the term "turiya abastha" or "turiya state" in his
discourses. Would be grateful if you could kindly explain what does it in fact mean?
A. Namah Shivay ji. The turiya abastha refers to the state of stillness from where the
Universe was created, from where we were created and reaching where we too can
create anything. Prolonged spiritual practice leads a seeker to a stage of meditation
where he experiences absolute stillness of thoughts during Sadhana. At this stage,
anything you think about materializes in a jiffy. But firstly, to reach this stage one has
to be regular in Sadhana. Secondly, regular writing of Golden Book is a must to create
in the Turiya abastha because this state is the state of truth. Here, your inner desires
override the superficial desires. Here, you cannot cheat. Here, you have to be crystal
clear in what you really want. So to do that you have to feed in your sub conscious
mind what you want by writing it again and again in the Golden Book. Blessings.

Q. Kya Babaji ne Paramatma ko dekha hay?... Reply me.

A. Namah Shivay ji. ShivYog is not about witnessing God somewhere externally. God is
inside you. ShivYog is just the process through which you can also do the darshan of
the God sitting in you. But before reaching PhD, we must enter the first standard. First
we must rise above animal tendencies to become a human. And then from the human
to the Divine. Moreover, through the meditational processes, you can reach a state of
Absolute peace and healing, which is nothing but the God consciousness. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, I had a question, is the "Shambhavi" the highest deeksha? or “Shree Vidya” is
the highest deeksha? I've heard in Shambhavi Shivir’s Promos and even from Babaji that
Shambhavi is the highest deeksha, a seeker can get. However, on the official website i.e.
www.ShivYog.com, in the tab "ShivYog path", it is advised that Shree Vidya is given after
Shambhavi and it is the highest deeksha. Please clarify which belief is correct?
A. Namah Shivay ji. Shambhavi deeksha is actually the highest deeksha a seeker receives.
And Shree Vidya is like the crown. Only the king wears it. In the earlier times, Shree
Vidya was given only to that disciple who was the worthiest and most sincere in his
spiritual practice. So, a self realized Guru used to dispense this deeksha to only one
disciple. So, it was not as if Shree Vidya was available to all. Shambhavi was the
highest every disciple got and Shree Vidya was reserved only for the best of the best.
Although in the modern context, all sadhanas are infinite. Whatever the Guru is

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 128

 
 
 giving, it’s like amrit. Accept it as the best thing for you. Nothing is big, nothing is
small. Whatever the Guru says is big. Whatever Sadhana you receive is the highest for
your consciousness. Blessings.
 Following most queries asked after posting of “One Healing Mantra, Infinite Healing
Possibilities” on official facebook page of Shivyog. And the queries are asked
basically on the Healing-CD (Divine Beej Mantra), containing continuous Chanting
of MahaMrityunjaya Mantra, “Om Hroum Jum Saa” in Babaji’s voice.

Q. Namah Shivay, those who have not associated with the ShivYog, can also they play
this chant? Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay ji. The healing effect will be tangible most to the sadhaks who have
been initiated by Babaji during the shivir also. But for those who have not been
initiated, they may also chant this and play this at their homes or in their cars and
chant along with the CD. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay... by chanting this mantra can we heal our loved ones who deserve it more?
A. Namah Shivay ji, Yes, of course. You can also keep it played all through the day 24x7
in your home (in low volume, so that other should not feel disturb) for beautiful
results. Blessings.

Q. Nothing is impossible for a ShivYogi but the same ShivYogi cannot show on TV how certain
sadhanas or Kriyas are done why?
A. Namah Shivay ji. The sadhnas can only be received in the physical presence of the
Guru. The shishya has to be present before the Guru and become worthy enough to
receive it. Sanctity of the procedures cannot be overlooked at the altar of possibility
and impossibility. Whatever the Guru ordains for us, we should obey rather than
complaining about petty issues. This is what Babaji's message here on Face book was
all about 
https://www.facebook.com/notes/shiv-yog-Foundation/with-unconditional-love-
from-Baba-ji/725040987534978
There is a moral, ethical, spiritual and physical price to pay for everything. Nothing
comes for free. And even when this healing mantra has been opened for the masses, it
has not come free. The responsibility is of the sadhaks to heal themselves and the
world by using the mantra. Blessings.

Q. Thank you Babaji for this divine Gift ... I can't download right now but after that I
will download. Can I give someone this Beej Mantra for chanting? Namah Shivay
Babaji...
A. Namah Shivay ji. Yes you may give but please make sure that utmost respect is
accorded to it by the person being given. This is one of the most powerful and
activated healing mantras. Handle with care and make sure only a worthy person
receives it and who does not upload it on other hosts and makes money out of them
or some such nefarious motive. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, what is the ShivYog way of fasting? Like we don’t eat anything in the day and
we indulge ourselves mostly in chants and meditation, so should we eat anything in the night
i.e. dinner or we don’t have to eat anything for dinner and survive on fruits in the entire day.
Please clarify. Thank you, Namah Shivay.

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 129

 
 
A. Namah Shivay ji. There's a detailed way of ideal eating which Babaji prescribes as
food for a ShivYogi. That is discussed in good detail in the DVD on Diabetes which is
available in the ShivYog divine shop. However, if you specifically ask for fasting,
ShivYog says that one day of the week, when you don't have much physical and
mental activity, you must reserve for yourself. On this day, you must stick to fruits
and curd the whole day.
Lots of water also. And on such a fasting day, you have to perform Sadhana and
sankirtan at least 4-5 times or even more. Mobile phone is to be switched off and
electronic gadgets such as computer and TV are to be totally abstained from for total
peace of mind and complete rejuvenation.
If you are successful in achieving one day like this every week, you will witness a
drastic improvement in not only your work efficiency but also your overall health,
energy and every aspect of life. It will turn your life into somewhat like a ShivYog
shivir. Blessings.

Q. If someone gift me Nachiketa Agni Dhyan of Babaji, can I meditate with this Mantra?
A. Namah Shivay ji, sit and chant this mantra daily, Verbally or mentally with eyes
closed. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, I am a practising as a Reiki Master. Can I still do Reiki Healing &
ShivYog, as I am a Shivyog Sadhak as well?
A. Namah Shivay ji. ShivYogi will help enhance your Reiki Powers immensely. But
when you do the ShivYog healing, please do not charge anything from the person
being healed. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, some sadhaks (old age) are not familiar to the internet, can I give
them a copy of burnt CD?
A. Namah Shivay ji. Yes, you may do that but you have to be very careful that they do
not disrespect it or sell it further or make copies and distribute it to unworthy
people. Now you have got a lot of power. You have great responsibility with that
power. This is a gift from Babaji and ideally every sincere sadhak should receive it.
If you are sure that the person receiving it will be able to treat it with the kind of
brilliant respect you yourself are keeping it with, you may go ahead and help others
too. And if you find the person good enough, do make him cautious of these things
too. Present the Mantra which much love, telling them exactly how you got it and
that this is a direct gift from Babaji and has to be accorded utmost respect.
It is sheer love from Babaji, so needs to be treated with a lot of respect and caution
exercised that no one sells this or tries to monetise such a divine gift. Blessings.

Q. I am a student and I have not attend any ShivYog shivir, can I use this Mantra while
doing studies for better concentrations or for sharpening my memory to remember the
things or while doing yoga?
A. Namah Shivay ji. For ideal results, play this CD at the place where you are going to
study, half an hour or an hour before you will sit there. And when you sit for study,
switch off the mantra for total concentration. You will see the result for your own
self. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji...can we give this healing mantra to anyone who is not a
ShivYogi but needs help to get cure from a disease.

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 130

 
 
A. Namah Shivay ji, Yes, please give him the mantra. And a secret is that this mantra
has been recorded in such a way that any person who can hear it will get healed
automatically. So ask him to keep listening to this and chanting along all day and
develop the belief that yes he will and he has to get perfect one day. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay can I gave this mantra to another person who is not taken the deeksha from
Guruji? He is so ill & he had tried so many medicines now. He want to recover from healing,
prayer & blessing. He is not able to afford the money to attain ShivYog Sadhana Shivir. Please
guide me. How can I help him.. Namah Shivay...
A. Namah Shivay ji, Yes, please give him the mantra. And a secret is that this mantra
has been recorded in such a way that any person who can hear it will get healed
automatically. So ask him to keep listening to this and chanting along all day and
develop the belief that yes he will and he has to get perfect one day. Prayers will be
held for him by Babaji. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, I have done only self healing can I heal my mother’s legs by keeping her
photo in two MahaMrityunjaya Yantra as mentioned in above post, also let me know where
should I send healing if her legs is unhealthy? Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay ji. If you have not been initiated in the methodology of healing others
by the Guru, you must not do anything on your own. What you can do is keep the
mantra played and chant it along with Babaji's voice in the mind and visualize the
healing energy all around you. Send this not only to your mother but the whole world
as instructed by Babaji.

Q. Namah Shivay, ShivYog Foundation. I have a query, if you could please reply. My Aunt
attended the Hindi Goa Shivir and since the time she came back, she is sick. She is having lot of
cough inside coming out continuously and headache. She had fever initially in the first day
after coming back. She is taking medicine though. She was completely fine before the Shivir and
even had light food (as amrit bhojan like more of fruits during the Shivir as well). Is it after
affect of Deep Sadhana or what could be the reason for such bodily disharmony? She is not
using facebook and wanted me to put a question here on the Official ShivYog facebook page for
her to ask Babaji about this bodily problem. So, kindly answer and I request Babaji to please
send Divine Healing for your daughter. Thank you.
A. Namah Shivay ji. When the heavy karmas are released there is bound to be a source of
outage of the negativity. It is very important to continue the Sadhana irrespective of
the condition. To release more, she must continue the Sadhana as learnt during the
Hindi shivir. Do not stop it. At times the mind dictates wrong instructions, to stop the
release process. Do not listen to the mind. Your aunt is on the verge of releasing
something big. Do the Sadhana twice daily. The symptoms are merely signs of
purification. Eat light as you have been doing. Get rest but the Sadhana must not be
stopped. Prayers will be offered for you. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. Can you please answer? How to prevent the mind to fall into the trap of
negativity once there is a failure in life (be it small failure or big). The moment there is a
failure, it’s very difficult to take the mind out of those thoughts until it’s too late and that too,
even after doing Sadhana, and Seva.
A. Namah Shivay. It is exactly for situations like these that the Prati Prasav Sadhana
exists. When the sadhak is unable to release negativity by his own efforts and using
his own spiritual energy, the Guru's energy has to be sought in his physical presence.

 Ishan ji is kind enough to be carrying out so many Prati Prasav shivirs with the grace
of Babaji just for experiences like yours so that no ShivYog sadhak walks the path of
life with the burden of the path. Listen to Babaji's videos, do the chantings as of now.
Do not leave the Sadhana. Fixed time. Fixed place. And attend the Prati Prasav shivir
at the next given opportunity. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. Please advise if we can do the Sacred Sadhana when we are abroad for overseas
trip? Thanks.
A. Namah Shivay, Yes, you can do it but carry a woollen asana to sit for meditation and
never do the meditation on bed. Always on the floor with a woollen asana below you
so that the energy is not earthed. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. Please share the details for Webcast of Prati Prasav Shivir, Austria, (as
mentioned on www.ShivYog.com) 25th April - 27th April, 2014? Please confirm and will it be
the complete Shivir or selected timings so that one can plan schedule in advance?
A. Namah Shivay ji, the shivir will be held as normal. Just that Ishan ji will be on video
conference mode. The energy will remain the same as also the timings and other
arrangements. It will be a normal shivir. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji. I cannot adhere to same time and same place Sadhana, as I’m a doctor
and have to do either day duty, or night duty or even 24 hours duty. In that scenario, I try and
do Sadhana daily, without fail, sometimes even at my hospital in between work, but defer
following a particular time frame by compulsion and not by choice. Does this mean that I'll
have a stunted spiritual growth, or spiritual progress? Please guide me and tell me how to
combat this situation. Namah Shivay. Thank you.
A. Namah Shivay. Babaji holds doctors in the highest regards. He says that all day long
the doctors act like God to so many patients so the good work does not stop. It is quite
praiseworthy if you do the meditation despite your routine.
The main aim of meditation is for you to evolve on the spiritual front. In your case,
when there is night duty, have a fixed time in the day that you would do Sadhana at.
When there is day work, you should fix a particular time at night to do the Sadhana.
For example - During day duty, your Sadhana time is fixed at 8pm at night. During
night duty, your Sadhana time is fixed at 6am.
So whenever its day job, you do meditation at 8pm and whenever there is night duty,
you perform Sadhana at 6am. Thus, there will be a pattern to your routine. In
spirituality if you wish to reap rich dividends, discipline is must. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. To maintain the regularity, while travelling for a longer period (more than a
day and some time a week), Is it advisable to do Durga Saptashati (without chanting loudly)
and Meditation in the train/plane/bus? Kindly guide. Namah Shivay!
A. Namah Shivay. The intention is that we stay connected. In whichever manner it is
possible, we must establish it. And whenever and wherever possible, we must do the
Sadhana at dedicated time and place. What you have suggested is alright. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, Babaji, I have a CD of Goa Shivir of Shree Vidya Sadhana Level-2. Everyday I

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 132

 
 
A. Namah Shivay ji. There is no point in practicing the Sadhana in which you have not
got initiation from Babaji. Do the meditation which has been taught to you in the
shivir you yourself attended. You should practice only the Sadhana imparted to you
during the shivir which you attended. Besides that you can do the guided Shree Vidya
2 meditation, the CD of which is available in the divine shop. Also, it is entirely the
Guru's grace what he imparts. The Grace can never be Bought or sold.
Here is a Siddha who is dispensing wisdom which has never been told in the modern
age by anyone in the world, and here are the people who are ready to defy his
requests. The few months that Babaji taught how to make the most sacred
Paradeshwar Lingam, resulted in sadhaks defying Babaji's orders and selling it like a
commodity. Those still sells the Paradeshwar after learning how to make it from
Babaji have done great disservice to the Guru's vision and desecrated live God
himself. For all those who read this post, please share it with those whom you think
have advertently or inadvertently committed such a mistake. It’s a request from Babaji
not to sell it. The grace consequences will be for you only to confront. So after such a
malpractice of selling Paradeshwar, Babaji had to put this deeksha on the backburner.
So now, we have to make do with whatever blessings we receive. May be in the future
when the purity level enhances, Babaji might reveal it again. The only way to receive
the Paradeshwar Lingam is to ask somebody to gift it to you after he himself makes it.
Babaji has forbidden the sharing of this arcane wisdom to whoever has received it
during the shivirs. This was a deeksha and can be transferred only by the Guru. So
even if someone who has received it from Babaji, he cannot transfer it to others. It will
be ineffective. All this works on resolution of the Siddhas. Babaji has also requested all
sadhaks to only gift it to others and never charge even a single rupee for it otherwise
there are negative consequences to be faced. Blessings.

Q. Can you please answer? In the family due to so many circumstances I’m not able to do Sadhana
on a fixed time. Due to which, I’m not feeling much progress, I’m practicing Shree Vidya-2
from two years. Please suggest me.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Being a grihasthi, you have the best opportunity to attain self
realization by enjoying the best of both the worlds. But all of that is entirely in your
hands. You have to set such a time table which enables you to perform the meditation
at a fixed time daily. Only and only you can do that. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. Am asking a question on behalf of several sadhaks who also face this same
problem which hinders our sadhana. Many often, especially on the beginning of our spiritual
journey, we encounter random thoughts in our daily Shree Vidya Dhyan. Sometimes we get
carried away by this thread of thoughts in the middle of meditation. When we manage to get
our mind back to the mantra, it takes only a while before the thoughts abound again and the
mind roams and wanders in a never ending vicious circle. I wanted to know what Babaji
mentioned about it and whether and how to put a stop to this natural phenomena. Some school
of thoughts say the more we resist and repress the flow of thoughts the more they proliferate
while another one suggests that we become hollow and empty and think about nothing for a
successful meditation. On practical level the latter is almost next to impossible for us, new
sadhaks. I feel that 75% of my sadhana gets lost and hence I am not progressing. Please guide
us and kindly let us know the ShivYog way for tackling this matter. Thank you.
A. Namah Shivay. Firstly the more you worry about a problem, the more you perpetuate
the same. So firstly stop worrying. You are doing all this for happiness, for evolution.
So why the negative emotion of worry? Peace can’t be brought through war. Secondly,

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 133

 
 
 the importance of Yam Niyam in ShivYog is emphasised time and again by Babaji for
this very reason. The moment you let your mind slip, it will go astray. To regulate the
flow of thoughts, adhere to a time table of Sadhana. Fixed time. For example you set
6am in the morning as your time to meditate. Now, every day you must be there at the
place of your meditation at that very time. No doing it at 630 or 7 or 730. There has to
be a pattern. Your mind will slowly get tutored in a pattern and thoughts will subside.
Thirdly, do not skip Sadhana even once. Start the chain of discipline immediately after
attending a shivir. The energy is high and the flow can be made easily. Fourthly, there
are guided meditations, particularly of Shree Vidya and Durga Sapatashati. You
should start with these meditations where at every step; you have to follow a certain
procedure so there is no room for distraction. Before beginning meditation, chant the
Guru Stuti and ask the Guru to help you concentrate, you shall succeed. Blessings.

Q. (1) The diya should have 1 or 2 cotton swabs?

(2) We have to use TIL (Sesames oil),
(3) What to do on 9th day with the sown Jau grain?
(4) What to do with the coconut and betel nut kept with Kalash?
(5) What to do with water in kalash?
(6) How when and where to dispose old or duplicate God Idols?
A. Namah Shivay ji 1 swab, Til oil Yes. Give the grain Jal Samadhi. Coconut and betel nut
are now prasad. Eat it. Drink the water of the kalash. It is consecrated. Old idols are to
be given Jal Samadhi in the nearest river with piety. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay just 2 more query:

(1) The bisarjan to be done on 9th day or 10th day after Saptashati Paath?
(2) When Kanya bhojan should be done i.e. 8th day or 9th day as we have Saptami so what
should be the correct way.
A. Namah Shivay ji all days are equally auspicious. Kanya bhojan must be organized on
all 365 days of the year. Babaji does this all through the year. And Jal Samadhi can be
given on any day. Blessings.

Q. Please say the conditions of wearing Shree Yantra and Mrityunjaya Yantra. Please please,
Namah Shivay, jai Maa Kali.
A. Namah Shivay ji. You can wear them the moment after you receive initiation in any of
Babaji's deekshas. Although it’s not as if non-sadhaks cannot wear it. But the yantra
will get recharged by itself when you perform the ShivYog meditations. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay! Can you please suggest? if we can do Shree Vidya Sadhana while lying down
on the bed at the time of sleeping? Please advise...
A. Namah Shivay. The Shree Vidya Sadhana is the most sacred meditation in the world.
It can never be treated with disrespect. The meditation itself is pronounced as Shree so
you can imagine how pious it is. Never do this on the bed. Dedicated pooja altar.
Dedicated place. Dedicated woollen aasan. Dedicated time. Discipline. This is Sadhana
to regulate your mind and senses. It cannot be performed in a leisurely manner.
Utmost seriousness and respect is required. Blessings.

A. Namah Shivay shaktipat and deeksha are things which you can neither discuss with
your sadhak peers nor confirm with your Guru. At the time of deeksha, whatever you
comprehended at once was what is best for you. More than any technique, Sadhana is
about emotion and devotion. If you have that, any other wrong will be suppressed.
Blessings.

Q. If an elderly who due to their physical conditions is not able to attend the shivir, (and have
never attended) but asks for Durga Saptashati Sadhana Book and CD, can we (sadhaks) give
them? And can they do path this way during Navratras?
A. Namah Shivay, Babaji has made Chandi Paath public. Make the elders listen to it and
ask them to recite after Babaji. All videos are available on YouTube and other sources.
The motive of live webcast too was that may the Chandi Paath reach as many people
as possible. Make sure the Chandi Paath book is never kept on the floor or
disrespected by anyone anywhere. Blessings.

Navratri Shivir. Can I do Navratri Sadhana by watched Live Mumbai Shivir?
A. Namah Shivay. Babaji loves all the sadhaks unconditionally. That is why He has made
the Chandi Paath open for all. You can access it on you tube and other media and
recite it after Babaji. The aim is spiritual growth. The intention is divine growth. Do
not have doubts. Be regular and thank Lord Shiv Shiva. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation. Although I am not very regular with meditations however as I have
immense faith in Babaji, it feels that meditations are taking place daily without a miss.
Hopefully, I am not missing my Sadhana.
A. Namah Shivay it’s excellent to nurse the emotions of devotion and faith. However you
must back them up with regular Chandi Paath and Sadhana. The aim of your body in
this birth is not the physical work you associate yourself with, rather it is to do
Sadhana, clear all karmas and rest permanently in peace and bliss and for that
Sadhana daily is indispensable. Namah Shivay.

Q. To ShivYog Foundation, I did Shree Vidya III in English at Goa with Babaji's Grace, but I am
able to do only Durga Saptashati Shivir in the manner by combining Shree Vidya III Sadhana
but I am not able to do the actual Shree Vidya III Sadhana is that okay ?
A. Namah Shivay, whatever deeksha is given in a shivir, if a sadhak follows he will be
completely benefited. However if you do the Sadhana in bits and parts, you will be
blessed commensurate with your sparing efforts. The amount of sugar you put
decides the taste of your recipe. The less the sugar, the lesser the sweet taste. If the
sugar is put intermittently, somewhere the recipe will be sweet, somewhere not so
sweet. Thus a regular dose at regular intervals to make the recipe of your life,
uniformly sweet and worth savouring. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, why it happens that when our Sadhana is continuous then it is hampered
without reason & you repent & feel wrong by not doing Sadhana, do not feel complete.... Is it
that our karma get heavy?
A. Namah Shivay, there is a concentration level and a capacity of the individual to focus
within. Often we are immersed in the outer world so much that meditation seems an
aberration when we close our eyes. So it’s our own conscious mind which may want to
veer to other engagements but with practice we begin to prolong the meditations as
we start to realise that meditation is our true state of being. When you do Sadhana,
your inner voice gets active. And then anything which you shouldn’t do and you do
that, your inner voice tells you that what you’re doing is wrong. So is the case for
skipping Sadhana. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, Ishanji, as you have mentioned in Babaji's message about not sharing
experiences with others, me and my daughter have unknowingly with good intent shared our
experience and that of other's with her friends, we told them how our life changed completely
and everything is going perfect and like never before we are very happy and peaceful, our
intention behind sharing was that they should believe in ShivYog and get a good life ahead of
them, it was a mistake to want to make someone believe in Babaji and we all apologise for the
mistake. From the time I learnt ShivYog in September, life for my family and me has changed
for the better, all the obstacles disappeared, recently things haven't been working out even after
doing so much Sadhana myself and Swadhyay with me and my two daughters I was wondering
what mistake we must have made, it is now that I read your message and understood where we
went wrong, though I am not sure if this is exactly the mistake, but if this is it then please
Ishanji guide us as to how we can rectify our mistake and how our life can be again the way it
was soon after ShivYog, Sorry for the mistake once again. Namah Shivay, as you have said, you
wouldn't reply further on this post, but its a humble request to you and Babaji, if either of you
can guide us on this. Thank you. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay. Narrating the salutary effects of meditation is not a mistake. However
do not disclose any of the experiences of Sadhana and Swadhyay. Moreover do not
even exemplify your fruition as a positive outcome of ShivYog. Do not try to raise any
kind of expectation in anyone.
Everyone has a different repository of negative and positive karmas. Some take more
time to ascend, some rise at the blink of the eye. So if the other will not rise as speedily
as you, he/she may even curse you or allege you to be misguiding them.
Secondly, if there are any hurdles in your life which are forthcoming, play the
Ganapati Mantra Chant CD which removes all obstacles in life. Make sure the pooja
room is clean, you are donating a part of your wealth to the needy, are respecting the
elders within in your family, are not judging anyone, are not hating anyone. While
doing the Shree Vidya Sadhana , play the mantra in Babaji's voice in a moderate voice
so that the sound spreads a bit in your place. Also light the dia with mustard oil before
Maa Lalita Tripursundari's Picture. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog Foundation, can you please guide me on how many minutes, I can do Shree Vidya
Dhyan in conjunction doing Durga Saptashati?
A. Namah Shivay, there is no upper limit or lower limit to meditation. Fix everything in a
time-table as per your needs and occupational requirements. A Minimum of 2 hours, if
not more, everyday Babaji says must be devoted to Sadhana and sankirtan. Namah
Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay. For a Govt. service employee can have 4 hrs. spare time to do all this ...but a
Software Engineer got hardly 1 hr. every day ....so it is very difficult to do all this things in a
day...if any senior one can suggest what to do within a hour for physical and health benefits
then I will be grateful...
A. Namah Shivay, meditation and Durga Saptashati Chanting must be done if there is
limited time. Try and find more time for yourself. In the long run of your Soul's
journey, your inner engineering will matter. Outer will cease. So find time to meditate
and work on yourself as Babaji has taught you. Blessings.

Q. Om Namah Shivay. Babaji & Ishanji. I just attended 10 day Shivir in Singapore which
changed my whole life. Thank You!!! But one question - I developed fever and sore throat at the
end of 1st day of Shree Vidya. Despite healings by Babaji next 2 days, my throat and fever kept
increasing. I would give healings to myself...in the night it would go down but next day after
meditation it would become more. There was just too much heat coming out of my body. It has
been 4 days, since I got fever but my sore throat and fever is not going away with healings. My
ajna, throat, solar plexus, manipur chakras are very congested and big. I did chakra sweeping
and cleaning but that gave temporary relief only. I feel I am getting too much energy from
meditations. Please tell me what do I do? Even doing mantra jaap gives me too much energy.
What am I doing wrong? More healing I give, more I burn. Please help. Thank you..
A. Namah Shivay. The path of ShivYog is the path of grace. I asked Babaji once, what
healing is and he told me, Healing is “To give love receive love.” Complication arises
when “I” am the doer, as you will find many paths and methods of healing where ,
when energy is invoked , it should be specific color or else , when healing it should be
a certain part or else , once started it should be a certain amount or else , and the or
else has to be taken into account or else !!! Because we are the doer, what we do is
equally proportionate to what we are capable. So people can land in trouble while
healing. They can catch the negativity, they can get congested depleted etc.
Here it is different. We believe in “mann hi karta, mann hi bhogta”. We connect to the
infinite when we pray or heal, and when we connect to the infinite, how we can sweep
a bit of infinite from a bit of infinite. We surrender and pray, and even when we heal
us get healed as it his love flowing through us. That is why you will see a ShivYogi
very bindass. For them it is not a technique, its give love and receive love. Whenever
we start the Sadhana, release of a heavy burden takes place, as lots of karmas get out
because of the great healing. At that time, we should just continue , and as the release
happens everyday, the Sadhana will become more and more subtle , as my Baba says ,
“when an orange is squeezed, orange juice will only come out, nothing extraordinary
in that” , so when the energy blesses us what is inside will only come out i.e. the vices.
So just let it continue and let go of it. Follow one path, any path, don’t mix and match
all together. One path followed completely will bring Great Healing.
Blessings Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay, Babaji. Babaji, I have seen my past and future ...and the miserable thing was

A. Ek hi karta, ek hi bhogta. I experience, my Karmas, the other poor person just gets
tangled. And if I can create this then why can’t I create better? No one in the world has
the power to do any Jadu if you don’t want. And if we don’t assume responsibility of
our life then all we do is point fingers, but till when? If we keep on creating feelings of
hatred, and anger, that’s exactly what everyone will bring to us, So better purify
yourself and study for your exams. Lots of Blessings. Namah Shivay.

Q. Om Namah Shivay, Babaji, and thank you for the opportunity for posting our queries. My
query is on the Meru and would like to know, what is the most appropriate way to take care of a
Meru in my home? For example, can it be moved or must it kept in one place constantly? Is
there a need to re-energise a Meru after a period of time? or is this only done when I purchase a
new Meru? Thank you for all the Blessings.
A. Namah Shivay. Keep the meru at one place, as it is very divine and great grace.
Blessings and healings are made to flow from the Meru each time you do the Shree
Vidya Sadhana . Blessings. Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay, Babaji, GuruMaa, Ishanji, I got following information in one ShivYog blog on
7th October 2010. Message from Avadhoot Baba Shivanand Ji : Today is a very important day
for Ascension of Ancestors. As this day is coming after 1000years so don’t miss the chance to
ascend your ancestors.
(1) It is requested to all the ShivYog Sadhaks to kindly do the Ascension Kriya and Ascend
your Ancestors to the Higher Dimensions.
(2) Do MahaMrityunjaya Yagna while sunrise and evening while sun-sets.
(3) Do Nishkam Seva to poor and needy people especially small poor children or you can
perform Annadaan (Bojan) for them and get blessed.
If above Information Is true....So Please Post these Kind of information in ShivYog
facebook wall or ShivYog web site so all the sadhak can get benefit...I know to follow above
is give benefit to all even if it is not true..In this case (not true)…This should not post like
"Message from Babaji"....so please clear about this message. Thank You, Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay. Babaji loves you, that is why he has told me to come on net. And he
loves you a lot. Very soon he will also come on net, via Twitter or in whichever way he
finds best, to give you direct messages. Direct information is given from Babaji on the
website, here and on the TV everyday. Even Geetanjali didi is on facebook for you,
and if anyone writes anything it is their love for your Babaji and you, and they will
write upto there best capabilities, so you should bless them. Blessings Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay. Thank you Babaji and Gurumaa, for being there with me always. I heard Babaji
telling about Bumchik and CodLiver Incidence, It’s the same case with me. I love doing
meditation but since I attended shivirs, I follow routine for 2-3 days but then something
happens 4th day that I have to skip it, and then never able to come back to track. Babaji,
Gurumaa, Please Guide me how could I make Sadhana as a part of my life. I really need it,
because my reactions to most of the situations are getting negative now. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay. You know Bumchik, our lovely pet. She is what she is, so lovely yet a
buffoon, so temperamental, yet if she loves she is the best. You see it’s not about
Bumchik it’s about the person with Bumchik. I gave her CodLiver Oil in “my way”,
even though difficult, and then I started giving it “her way”, with a lot of love and
affection. I still give her that the same (her) way today. The trick is to not stop, as we
are not Bumchik, we are the person in front. Blessings, Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji. I recently attended the Shyambhavi Dhyan and Healing Shiver. After
that a wonderful energy was created in and around me. Wonders started happening. All my
works which were on a hold started of really well. But it’s now over a month now, I am getting
less time for meditation, like 1 hour in a day. But a sort of negativity has build around me from
past 15-20 days, everything is again becoming still and I have become gloomy all over again.
Just help me by guiding me. Which particular dhayan would be most useful in this short time,
which have in my hand? Namah Shivay!! Waiting for response.......
A. Namah Shivay. Continue the Dhyan which Babaji taught in the Shivir and Healing
will happen. Blessings, Namah Shivay.

Q. Pranam Babaji, Maa and Ishan ji. This is the 4th time I am posting this query but it’s not been
answered so far. I feel disillusioned. Please answer this query even if it’s the same answer that
you have to give as you have given others.
I have been doing ShivYog for 4 years and have been meditating for a happy marriage but my
marriage has still not materialised. I do Shree Vidya daily at night and at the end I visualise all
good things happening - meeting a good person, liking him and then getting married and being
very happy with him. I do it honestly and feel great while and after doing it but still I am
waiting for my marriage to happen. I want a nice guy with same family background and values
as mine - is it asking for too much? the guys whom I like - things never progress and the ones
who I meet, I don’t like! I definitely believe in the Sanjeevani Shakti and specially Maa
Tripursundari, then what am I doing wrong? Why am I not getting married? People in my
family are much tensed and sometimes it rubs off me too but I start visualising good things and
telling them to think positive too. What can I do to hasten the fulfilment of my wishes?
I love doing Sadhana and can’t imagine my life without it and I get whatever little things I
want, but why are the big things taking so much time. Please help me and give me guidance.
My deepest gratitude for being the strongest positive force in my life, Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay. Instead of continuously thinking “I have not got married and why I
am not married, release this factor and create what you want, without the thinking of
why it is not happening. And healing will happen, I will pray for you. Blessings,
Namah Shivay.

Q. Babaji, I have read about the approaching year 2012. As guided by you, I am doing Sadhana
regularly. However, some of my family members are not convinced about attending your shivir
as of you now. As I understand some huge changes are going to happen in year Dec 21, 2012.
What should we do? I mean we are a little confused as to what kind of precautions to take
especially for our family, employees, neighbours etc. Please guide us. Also, I want to thank you
for coming in my life.
A. Namah Shivay. Just continue the Sadhana , as your energy will increase your family
members energy will increase with you. Lot’s of Blessings. Namah Shivay.

Q. Dear Babaji, Pranam on your Lotus Feet. Om Namah Shivay!! I had attended my first shivir
with Babaji in Aandheri sports complex. During that time, I had back pain on the initial stage.
2nd I did Shree Vidya in pune. 3rd I did the entire 9days in Mulund. 4th Prati Prasav
Sadhana with Ishanji. My question is that since the first shivir I attended I had back pain due
to which I could not continue sadhana for 21days at a stretch since then, because of me being
overweight and having the back pain problem which later became worst and I get severe sciatica
pain on my left hip downwards which makes it difficult for me to sit, stand and walk. Dear
Babaji, please please guide me what should I do? How do I start all over again? This pain and
weight issue gets me to irritated and cranky. I need your help and healing. I want to do

 sadhana. I want to be connected. Please guide me, dear Babaji. I have a 7yr. old daughter I have
difficulty in doing my household work and being there with my daughter when she needs me.
Please help. Pranam on your Lotus Feet.
A. Namah Shivay. There is some karma which needs to be released and the energy wants
to release it, but your subconscious is not letting go. When the energy pulls the karma,
the subconscious pulls the root, causing pain. So when you meditate with a lot of love,
surrender to Maa Sanjeevani and the Healing will happen. Blessings, Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay. I want to raise the energy of my house. Someone has told me that some Saint
has cursed the area around my house and 2 kms around my house. I listen to Babaji everyday
and need a solution. Please help me in finding a solution. Thanking you.
A. Namah Shivay. You are a ShivYogi and wherever a ShivYogi meditates, all the
divinity of the universe resides there, someone did something, it was past and
when you meditate you are blessing the land itself. That is the present, so just do
the Sadhana and the area will become prosperous. Blessings Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay, I am a sadhak and doing ShivYog Sadhana since last 2yr. During sadhana
there is much vibration in body but I could not get the job I want. Please guide and bless me.
A. Namah Shivay. Create what you want, continue the Sadhana, I will pray for you.
Blessings, Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay, Babaji. Babaji, can you please let me know if a lady can perform Navratri Puja
and do sadhana twice a day during her period every month? Love you Babaji. You have always
been there as a guide. Thank you so very much for all your help…Love you. Namah Shivay!
A. Namah Shivay. Yes, the Sadhana can be done then and always, Shiva is above
everything. Blessings Namah Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay Babaji, Gurumaa and Ishanji. As you said Babaji, that every person has
spiritual guides and the they constantly guide. By your grace, I could hear the voice and got
the strength to follow it. It really helped out of difficult situations in my life and grow
spiritually. Now I feel like having a guidance for every small thing and decisions in my life. At
times while doing my routine activities I could hear that voice and most of the times I seek it.
Off late, I am really confused. I feel there are two voices and I am not able to distinguish which
one is yours. I feel my ego comes in between and creates guidance for myself which suits me. I
want to stay on the right path and just follow the divine. Please guide and bless me with the
ability and strength to stay on the right track. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay. Continue the Sadhana and the purity will happen. Blessings Namah
Shivay.

Q. Namah Shivay, what is the indication meaning that our consciousness is rising through
regular sadhana and sadhana is being done correctly?
A. Namah Shivay, the biggest parameter to measure your spiritual growth is you start to
love every being, every situation and everything in life unconditionally. Your
happiness index raises manifold and there is a sense of gratitude to the Almighty for
everything you've got. Also, everyone else begins appearing like a noble soul, out to
reach its soul agenda. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay thanks a lot for the answer. But all the things stated above happen when you do
sadhana for a long time say 8-12 months. Is there any parameter which is there instantly just

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 140

 
 
 after 15-30 days of sadhana? Because such parameter help us get motivated for sadhana
everyday and boosts our confidence on the correctness of our sadhana.
A. Namah Shivay. To calm your curiosities, let us understand why we are requiring to
know of the growth. Do you ask yourself every day whether bathing is helping you in
any manner? Likewise, sadhana is etheric bathing. You will begin feeling lighter,
happier, energetic, positive, free of stress, irritation etc. But all this when you follow
the teachings in totality. You question in spirituality implies "How can I bring
kartabhaav in my sadhana?" As far as sadhana goes, you only have to look to achieve
concentration while doing sadhana. As you begin finding perfection in meditation, the
benefits will automatically resurface. These benefits are different from person to
person. Some may experience healing of a disease, healing of a relationship, of a long
wound up task etc. Every case is dissimilar. You should not listen to others'
experiences and judge yourself whether you are also encountering similar experiences
or not. The karmic baggage that everyone is carrying is very different. Our aim must
always be to rid ourselves of the baggage. Results will follow. Although there are
many technicalities of the effects of sadhana, Babaji says why confuse yourself with
something which will make you go astray from the path of purity? The biggest
incentive in sadhana is happiness. You will witness a sea change in your mood and the
overall outlook of life. As the consciousness level will rise, many miracles too may
happen. But if you sit all day waiting for things to happen, you will gain nothing.
There is no point knowing what will happen next. Just follow a fixed routine of deva
karma, sakaam karma and shanti karma every day and your life will become,
peaceful, prosperous and full of unexpected joys. But don't sit with expectations. Work
hard to achieve your goals. ShivYog is not dependency on God. Rather it is seeking the
blessings of the infinite to streamline your own life such that you do not encounter
troubles in whatever work you undertake. Blessings.

Q. I would like to know that, may I do Aavaran Pujan of Shree Yantra. I have been initiated for
Shree Vidya level 1 and level 2 but I have been initiated Aavaran puja's mantra from Bhupur
to Bindu. Please kindly let me know. I shall be highly thankful.
A. Namah Shivay ji. Make sure anything that you do, you have learnt from Babaji,
attending a shivir. Do not do things which people tell you. Whatever you have learnt
in a shivir is something which is nectar for you. Practice that more and more. Do not
do things which others tell you or you hear somewhere. Any further doubts, you may
ask here. Blessings.

Q. In pooja room whether we have to light akhand jyoti in the name of Guru or Ambe Maa or
both? Can I keep big photo of Babaji in Pooja Room?
A. Namah Shivay ji, devotion and faith is something you can’t learn. Even if you get the
answer you are looking for, it will not be something that’s come from within.
Whatever you feel from inside, out of love, out of devotion, you should do that. Baba ji
and Amba Ma or Lord Shiva are not separate. If you worship anyone, it means you’re
worshipping everyone. Just go with your gut feeling. Do the sadhana, seva and
sankirtan daily. Also, to answer your question logically, you can keep the akhand jyot
of Amba Ma but make sure the room is very pure at all times if you plan for an
akhand jyot. Because if you are calling the goddess, welcome her in a place which is
beautiful in all respects. But first of all keep the mind clean. Guru bhakti and Isht
bhakti go hand in hand. Worship both. Most importantly stay honest to your own self
and be happy at all times. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, I don't have a meditation or prayer room. I've set a small little corner in my
son's room, who is not there for the time being. My question is, is it good to do sadhana there?
As there is no room available. Thanks.
A. Namah Shivay! You are highly recommended to station a fixed room or place for
sadhana. While praying we want the best of the best from God but when it comes to
accommodating the God in our house, we want God to make do with a small
makeshift space. Nopes. That’s not the way to go. A dedicated room or place for
meditation, where no people from outside come, where there is less or no furniture, no
electric appliances nearby, where there is woollen mats, dedicated altar for keeping
the Meru, the Linga, the Guru's photograph. Without this, meditation is a half hearted
exercise. Welcome God like a VVIP in your life. Reserve the best for him. Pray to him
to give you more space or idea to create a permanent place. Blessings.

Q. I am in Dubai. How can I see the Shivyog Shambhavi? Is it possible to see on your website?
Please advice.
A. Namah Shivay ji. These are very sacred meditations. These can't be learnt on the web.
It has to be with the divine sanction of Baba ji in his physical presence. So, to get
initiated you will have to attend a shivir. This is the only way. Blessings.

Q. I promise you Babaji, I will strictly follow and even trying to stop those people who are having
drugs addicted.
A. Namah Shivay ji, forbid only those very near and dear to you especially in the family.
Because in ShivYog we don't correct others. We look to make ourselves and our
immediate surroundings best and automatically our vibrations begin improving
others' energy. Blessings.

Q. ShivYog foundation, important query. I was doing Shree Vidya two times evening & morning.
Now, I got Shambhavi Deeksha in Goa. How should be my schedule for sadhana, now? How
much time I should do sadhana, which is taught in Goa?
A. Namah Shivay ji. Do this in the morning and the Shakti Sadhana in the evening.

Q. Namah Shivay, I was initiated into Shree Vidya Level-1 by Babaji in Ahmadabad Shivir in
2010, now a CD of Adwait Shree Vidya Guided Meditation Level-1 is recently launched. Can I
do meditation, using that CD or it is a different meditation? Please advice. I have bought that
CD but due to this confusion, still not used it. Thank you.
A. Namah Shivay ji, if you have been doing regular sadhana as taught by Baba ji, you can
do any Guided Meditation. Do not break the momentum. Recommended is that you
begin a routine immediately after attending a shivir. Blessings.

Q. Om Namah Shivay. I am keen in knowing if Prati Prasav Sadhana is same as Pranic Healing?
....and also ...Is there any CD for Shree Vidya course as this year there is no shivir for Shree
Vidya in Delhi?
A. Namah Shivay, the Shree Vidya sadhana can be done only after taking deeksha in
Guru's presence. Without it, there is no use. Secondly, the healing in ShivYog is way
above any Pranic Healing or Reiki. When we do the sadhnas taught by Baba ji, not
only do we heal the pranas as done in Pranic Healing but all the 5 bodies. Prati Prasav
Sadhana is not Pranic Healing. It is releasing of the Karmic Factors of the Past so that
the Present & Future become fruitful. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, I would like to know if Babaji has given any advice on what type of Shivling is
the best. Marble, Crystal or Parad? I would like to buy a Parad or Crystal Shivling online.
Thank you. Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, Parad Shivling is considered the best. Baba ji has taught the procedure
to make it at home. Do not buy it since the ones in the commercial space are defective
or lacking on some fronts. Blessings.

Q. Thank you Babaji, for making it possible to attend the shivir on online. How can I contact this
website? Do I have to make Registration?
A. Namah Shivay, this service means that you will now be able to watch Babaji's videos
in HD quality on the net. The clarity will make you think that you are attending a
Shivir. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay!!!! Which meditations I can practice at home for which I haven’t taken Deeksha
from Babaji. I have attended only Durga Saptashati Sadhana. Please answer!
A. Namah Shivay, you can start with Nachiketa Agni Dhyan.

Q. Namah Shivay. I am that I Am. Babaji says that mera janam is sharir ke madhyam se us
Satchidanand ko anubhav karne ke liye hua hay..I am soul and I am that Bliss myself and to
experience that Bliss through Body ... I took birth..However, my question is that as to why in
the first instance I was born... may be many births ago...I do not know...If I am Bliss myself,
then what is/was the need for taking birth and experiencing it through Body...
Secondly, kindly let me know if a new Sadhak wants to attend Prati Prasav Sadhana Shivir, is
there any eligibility or a pre-requisite for it? Any preparation for the body required? Kindly
answer above two questions.
A. Namah Shivay, the soul aim of your birth is to clear all your karmic debt through
unconditional sadhana and seva. Once a soul gets liberated, and then in the liberation
is the bliss which is the answer to the questions regarding the very existence of birth
and death. Secondly, there is no pre requisite for Prati Prasav Sadhana. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay. Can Chandi Paath be substituted by Durga Saptashati?

A. Namah Shivay, Chandi Paath is also called Durga Saptashati. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, I have a question... I'm wearing Shree Yantra as a locket from a long time and I
want to know that has it helped me in any form and has it had a positive effect on my physical
body... what can I do to check the results and changes in my physical body???
A. Namah Shivay. Do you see the mobile radiations damaging you? No. Likewise the
positive energy emitted by the Shree Yantra is not perceptible to the sadhaks who are
still not energy sensitive. The need for assessment and testing doesn’t arise since total
surrender to the Guru means knowing fully well that whatever He prescribes for us is
for our ultimate good. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, I want to ask you one solution. Please help me, Babaji. My problem is that my
mind is very mischievous & all day I think very negative things & I don’t want to think all
that. So, what should I do? Please tell & help me & also I can’t do meditation. So please solve

Q. Namah Shivay, Babaji... I want to ask that in Navratari Shakti Shadhana Shivir Mumbai,
Babaji said, we should start Navratari Shakti Sadhana with first Pran Kriya. After that,
invoke/request Ganeshji, Sadguru & Maa Bhagawati then Beej-Mantra...my query is that, am I
suppose to do Pran Kriya in praatah sandhya as well as saaye sandhaya & my another query is
what is the most appropriate time for Shakti Shadhana during Praatah Sandhaya as well as
Saaye Sandhaya...Namah Shivay.
A. Namah Shivay, any good karma if done more, will be give more benefit. So if you
have time, you can do Pran Kriyas in the evening too. There is no upper limit but at
least once a day. Secondly 4am to 8am in the morning and 5-7pm in the evening are
the best timings for Shakti Paath. Blessings.

Q. Namah Shivay, Babaji...please enlighten as to how to deal in money matters and prosperity...
somehow all efforts to improve my financial condition have proved to be futile... Somehow I am
not able to learn money lessons... please help.
A. Namah Shivay, if you have been doing regular Sadhana and Chandi Paath, this
problem shouldn’t be there. Apart from that, start donating to the poor and needy.
Also, perform the “Shreem” mantra kumkum abhishek as told by Babaji in YouTube
Shivyog Channel video. Blessings.

Q. Aaap ke Pravochano ko shunti rahti hu. Aur koyi sangshay nehi ki aap bahut gyanbardhak
baate baatate hay. Lekin jab aap baatate hay, "The antidote to all diseases, problems and
sufferings”, to keya aap ye nehi mante ki “Motapa” bhi diseases, problems and sufferings ke
antargat aata hay? Listen to the texts you live and no doubt you are very informative talk
show. but when you say "The antidote to all diseases, problems and sufferings, do you not
believe" obesity "also belongs to the sufferings and diseases, problems? (Translated by Bing)
A. Namah Shivay. Hamare sharir ka job hi prakaar hay, uske liye ham sayam uttardayi
hay. Motapa ko rog ki sangaa yadi aap ek sakaratmak drishtikon se deti hay, tab to
uchit hay. Kintu yadi eysa aap maatra tippani karne hetu karti hay toh yeh galat hay.
Babaji kehte hay ki aapne bhitar koyi bhi sukhad badlab lane se purb, aapne ko – jeysa
tum ho, beysa swikaar karo.
Uske pashchat, aapne se yeh puchho ki may chahti keya hu? Keya main wajan 5 kilo,
10 kilo ya 15 kilo ghatana chahti hu? Yadi haa to main iske liye keya mulyo chukane

aapne jeehwaa ka swaad tyagne ko taiyaar hu?
Wajan kam karne ke pichhe meri bhavnaa keya hay? In sabhi prashna ka uttar den eke
baad bichhar ko karam me badliye aur Guru ko har kadam par pranam kariye,
dhyanyabaad dijiye aur unka aashirbaad lijiye. Aap jo kuchh chahti hay aapko mil
jayega. Namah Shivay.

Q. Why does Babaji say, “tum chahte keya ho” all the time?
A. Can anyone climb on the top of this pyramid without following the steps or stairs?
The answer is a no. So then how can we attain self realisation without all our
materialistic wishes being materialized?
Let us understand in a point wise manner why Babaji lays so much stress on the pet
phrase of his which goes "tum chahte keya ho" .
1. The phrase is an interrogative one which means "what do you desire?"or "what
are your wishes?"
2. In reality we all have taken birth to complete the give and take with our family
members, our friends, our society and the nation.
3. When a soul enters a human body and arrives on this earth which is at the 3rd
dimension it is lured by many materialistic wishes like having a good family, a
good fortune, a great spouse, a great home to live in, great food to relish so on
and so forth depending upon an individual's wishes.
4. The soul now becomes the bodily soul meaning the jeev atma which considers
the physical body as its real identity.
5. So now apart from give and take the soul has materialistic wishes which are
added to the pending tasks of the soul.
6. If these "pending tasks" or wishes (like a good spouse, financial strength etc) are
not fulfilled the soul will have to acquire a human body again and come back to
this earth after this life all over again in a new form. And it is not necessary that
in the next birth you will get an avdhoota to guide you. Also you may not
necessarily take the human form. You may become a lion, a cat a lizard or any
other animal and then the cycle of karma will start again and after 84 births we
will come back as humans. We all don’t want to enter in this cycle do we?
7. The agenda of every soul is ascension and merger with the divine light which
can happen only after all the worldly wishes are fulfilled.
8. Spirituality or ShivYog in particular prophesises that to reach towards god, it is
mandatory for our souls to complete the "pending tasks" or materialistic wishes.
9. This is best understood by the mescal’s law of hierarchy. Babaji says that the
wishes decrease as our consciousness rises. This is best understood by any
person's life. As a child you need toys to complete your world. Then as the child
grows to a boy, the wishes change to computer games from that of toys. As the
boy turns to an adult the need is for a great wife a good home, a great family
etc. And as you get older the previous wishes tend to change.
The path towards ascension can be described by this pyramid.
i. As the worldly desires and wishes are materialized, satisfaction creeps in
and with rise of consciousness the wishes become less and less and when
the consciousness reaches at a high level, the third eye opens up and the
journey of the smaller triangle begins.
ii. Observe the fact that the second journey I.e. The final journey towards god
after all wishes have come true and when the third eye opens is a very
short one and easy too. The hard part is reaching the smaller triangle.

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 145

 
 
 iii. The second journey takes place when the consciousness or the kundalini
reaches the vishuddhi chakra or (throat chakra) to begin the journey
towards the sahastrasaar chakra (or crown chakra).
iv. This pyramid begins at the base with "tum chahte keya ho?"
10. So as ShivYogis we are taught never to curb any desire except of course if it is
greed or lust.
11. As our "chah" or wish is materialized, the sense of accomplishment will drive
us to thank god and move on to a successful life and eventually to self
realisation when the only desire left will be meditation and merger with the
infinite.
The Golden Book with the shree yantra printed on each page and metal yantras which
are kept by us on its cover and at the back help fast materialization of the wishes and
give us an easy way to reach the top of the spiritual triangle.
So write down all your wishes in the Golden Book & start materialization now.
Do remember that meditation without aim is like a ship without its destination. You
will get lost in the ocean so streamline your energy in your wishes to reach the top of
the triangle. So make a Golden Book and read it before and after every sadhana.

Q. What is a Gotra ?
A. Gotra we say is the name of that rishi from whom we have descended. And where did
those rishis descend from? From that infinite energy of the universe , the infinite
energy I pray to ,the infinite energy known by many names ,the infinite which I call
shiva , so who do I descend from ? None other then shiva. To what science agrees are
you come from energy, you will go back to energy; everything that is, is energy. And
that is why Babaji says taking the wisdom of society not the social evils. If I hold on to
my name, then I must discriminate against those who are not my herd. Let me tell you
however, there is no such thing as lower cast, it is just a name, there is no such thing as
high caste it is just a name and a man is defined by his actions not by his name. The
various casts just lead to prejudice and judgement triggering the animal behaviour of
herd mentality. Evolution is very important, and it is time for all of the ShivYogis to
evolve . I am the child of infinity and I must associate pride with where I come from
and not be disillusioned by what is created by a primitive need to become an alpha.
Remember what I think so shall I become.

Q. What are the Impact of Mrit Sanjeevani Mantra on Subconscious ?

A. All Shiv Yogis recite the Mrit Sanjeevani Mantra as part of their daily Durga
Saptashati Sadhana but little does anyone know what benefit it has on our conscious
and sub-conscious minds. Babaji explained that in a Goa Shivir. Our each cell has a
mind of its own, adds the enlightened one, stating further that what we say as, “I’m
unhappy with the world, nothing is good” which is interpreted by the subconscious as
“I do not want to live in this world”. The 500 trillion cells in our body carry out the
guidelines of the subconscious mind which has the function of sending signals to the
cell. In a scenario where we complain about the world being bad and everything about
it abominable, the cells begin winding up and they cause the malfunction of the cells, a
process which ultimately leads to disease and destruction. He urges the sadhaks to
stop the complaining process and begin the process remaining happy in all situations
as that is the key to a peaceful and disease-free life.

 [ Beloved Babaji, kindly gave the answers of these queries of Sadhaks by Himself, earlier in 2008.
That time, present “ShivYog” was known as “Inner Strength Foundation”. ] 

Q. Babaji, How does meditation helps in curing the ailments ?

A. Now one thing is very important that once your consciousness is raised, you must
look at everything with unconditional love. In that scheme of things, even your pain is
not something abominable. If you consider your pain to be your enemy, then it will act
like an enemy and bring you lot of harm. On the contrary if you greet it with a smile
and unconditional love then it will subside without a trace. That’s what I had
explained earlier also.
Best thing is to meditate and smile at the portion which is gripped by pain. Chanting
Mantra Jap try and visualize the afflicted part, you will discover that the pain has
abated gradually. Learn to detach yourself from your body. With this knowledge you
will be able to control all your difficulties, pains and sufferings. Moreover, Kundalini
Sadhana is the best antidote for all the malaise, simply because Kundalini, when it
arises, weeds out all the negative elements from your body, including pain,
accumulated Karmas, and other factors of far reaching consequences.

Q. Babaji, What is the best time for meditation ?

A. Meditation is not a time specific thing. If you feel hungry, you need not be told which
the best time for eating is. You need not be told what the best time for lunch is. If
someone asks you all these questions you will dismiss it as rubbish. At the appropriate
time around nine in the night a bell rings in your stomach and you know it’s dinner
time. For meditation if I say five o clock in the morning, you’ll squirm and ask : “Can I
do it at six in the morning ?” If I say seven, you will come up with similar plea to put it
off. This haranguing will go on. You’ll say night – because it suits you perfectly. I
would say okay. Then you will ask me, “Can I meditate lying down because I feel
tired after hard days work at office” ? You see you are trying to circumvent the divine
process of meditation. This question is a pointer in that direction.
To put it more clearly, I’ll give you an example. Suppose a person is extremely fond of
eating. He will always carry some snacks with him so that he can have a bite
whenever he feels hungry. This snacking in no way disturbs his regular lunch or
dinner. Whenever it’s meal time, that person will have a sumptuous meal. Snacks are a
sort of supplement to his regular diet. In the same way you can have a regular
mediation of say 1½ hr. duration interspersed with light bouts of the same in between.
Meditation is your life force energy. The more you consume it, the more progress you
will make. Vice Versa the lesser you consume it, you would feel emasculated. As far as
the best time for meditation is concerned, according to holy the scriptures, the best
time to meditate is at dawn in the morning and at dusk in the evening.

Q. Babaji, From my childhood, I had an inkling that I was born with a mission in life. In my later
years this feeling grew more dominant. Please tell me how I find my mission in life ?
A. Everyone has come to this world with a divine mission. You must introspect yourself
and find whether you are living a purposeful life or not. Or you are leading a life
similar to that of animals. Ultimate goal or mission of every human being is first to
know himself. Secondly you have to find “Who am I”? In simple terms this is Self
Realization. This is precisely why you take frequent births and come to this world time
and again. Invariably you are given a chance to unravel this puzzle so that you are

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 147

 
 
 able to liberate yourself from the cycle of life and death. The primary duty of every
individual is to attain Moksha. You attain Moksha on the merit of your karmas. That
being the case, it becomes imperative for you to ask yourself whether you are doing
that or not. That is your mission.

Q. Babaji, Is the healing power of Mahamrityunjay Mantra greater than that of conventional
healing care? There have been numerous instances where modern medical sciences failed and
divine therapies rescued the individuals from impending death? Please enlighten.
A. That is absolutely correct. The power of Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, Siddha kundalini
Yoga has succeeded where modern medicine has failed. Leave apart healing, there
have been instances where someone had died, his soul had departed and that person
was brought back to life. But then it is a very ticklish issue. Cynics may demand a
practical demonstration of these powers to believe them. Above all, these powers are
amenable to only persons with a devout faith in them not to those who subscribe to
atheistic beliefs. World is full of God fearing and agnostic people. For that matter both
these traits are present in people albeit with some difference. Some are more devout
and less atheist. Others are more atheist and less devout. For some reason some people
don the mask of religion to hide their agnostic part. This is primarily for their own
selfish interests. When circumstances demand, these pseudo-god fearing tribes discard
their put on act and show their true colors.

Q. Babaji, Do you need a living Guru to progress spiritually?

A. Yes you do need a Guru. To put it more clearly, there are two types of tatwas;
Paramtatwa and Gurutatwa. To attain the state of Paramtatwa, Gurutatwa is very
essential. Fortunately, if the Gurutatwa is in animate form, i.e., he is present before
you, then he is bound to lead you to Paramtatwa. If your Guru happened to be
Sadguru, he will continue to lead you and guide you. Sadgurus are famed for their
ability to guide their disciples well after they discard their physical bodies and attain
Moksha. In this context, he will usher in a new Sadguru in your life, capable enough to
guide you to the right path. And then, you don’t select your Guru; rather it is Guru
himself who chooses you. Guru is omnipotent individual endowed with complete
knowledge. You never attract the attention of the Guru; it is Guru who draws you
towards him. It is only a matter of time. At the appropriate time you find your Guru
right before you. Besides a lot depends upon your spiritual level. Your Guru will
reflect your spiritual level. In simple terms, you will get your Guru according to your
spiritual level. Remember! You are nobody to pick up and change the Guru according
to your whims. He is the ultimate entity. He will seek you out and install a feeling of
reverence in yourself in a manner that will influence you to surrender yourself before
him. Bless You!

Q. Babaji, How do we know that we are progressing spiritually?

A. You see spirituality is has no fixed yardstick to determine the spiritual progress of an
individual. It is an entirely self-explanatory phenomenon. Whenever you take tea or
any other beverage, you first taste it to ascertain its taste according to your choice.
Similarly in spirituality you ascertain your own progress and then if need be, just like
you add more sugar to suit your taste in your cup of tea, you devote yourself with
renewed dedication in your spiritual quest. In spirituality you are your own judge. If
you feel you want to progress more, you add more of yourself via your Guru Mantra
and dedication, to attain the desired progression in spirituality.

Q. Babaji, tell us about death. What lies in store for us after death ?
A. First thing, one never dies. Let me put it this way. In fact, you or the real self that is
you, can never die. Because the your real self was never born in first place. You are
birthless and ageless entity and hence you are immortal. It is all a matter of your body
or the physical body. The entire issue can be understood by the example of clothes that
you wear. You discard your clothes and cast them away once they are become worn
out. In the same manner physical body is the attire of soul. The soul therefore discards
the body after it becomes dysfunctional and feeble. Soul subsequently dons another
attire. It is all a matter of soul, which comes to earth and takes frequent births. It is
your prerogative to ensure smooth passage of this soul to the Shivalok and its ultimate
merger with Shiva. This is the only path to Moksha. You can contribute in this noble
endeavour through your virtuous deeds. You do not have any knowledge of your
previous birth and it is not certain that you will inherit the same soul in the next birth.
Meanwhile your soul may attain Moksha by the merit of its actions. Your only time is
your present. Hence it becomes imperative that you try and attain the Moksha in your
present birth through your deeds and Sadhana. Your final objective should be Shivlok.
Once you reach there and don’t find your soul there, you will have the powers to
summon it right there. Otherwise if you remain content with present status of your
soul and yourself, you may not make any progress in this direction. Both of you stand
to gain nothing from it. Or you are not going to help each other’s cause in this case. To
avoid such eventuality, try and rise to the occasion.

Q. Babaji, Is it true that we can foresee our future ?

A. Not only can you foresee your future but you can shape it also. There are some factors
present deep inside your inner being. These factors are called clairvoyant faculties.
Sometimes these clairvoyant faculties are awakened wittingly or inadvertently and
you are able to witness some incidents from your future life. However, I would
suggest that you do not attach much importance to these faculties as they were
awakened by sheer coincidence. You see, some of the incidences that you see are
illusory but some incidences actualize very quickly in your life. As a result, you
develop strong faith towards foreseeing future events inculcates so much faith in them
that the illusory appearing incidents that you visualize are converted into reality by
your sheer persistent belief in them. Therefore it is always better to build your future
than to ruin it by such indiscriminate beliefs.

Q. Babaji, Can we stall the outset of old age and degeneration of our body through sheer grit and
determination?
A. It is very much possible. Human body is a very sophisticated and delicate machine.
Mankind has made remarkable progress in relation to the development and
refinement of external objects. In this development endeavour we paid scant regard
for the development and refinement of our inner knowledge and our latent energies.
In India our Siddhas made diligent efforts to develop our inner strength. They made a
pathbreaking progress in this regard. The powers present within you have their own
dynamics and processes. These powers have established that God has allocated a life
span of hundred years to every individual. But the same individual, through this
thoughts and actions, curtails his life span well below hundred years. Say, seventy,
sixty or fifty years out of the stipulated life span of hundred years. By the same
process, if he reverses the methodology that he applied in reducing his age
substantially, he will increase his life span well past hundred year to possibly two

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 149

 
 
 hundred years. This is very much possible. There are numerous Siddhas, who have
demonstrated phenomenal longevity of about one thousand years. Amazingly, some
Siddhas have reversed the process of ageing. For example if they were fifty-year-old,
they reversed the sequence in inverse order so that instead of progressing in ascending
order they regressed in descending order and from fifty they turned forty-five and
then thirty-five. In the same manner as you reverse a cassette in music system.
Following the same order when they reached the age of zero, they acquired the ability
to travel in and out of this body. Mahavtaar Baba Gorakhnath and many others like
him demonstrated this divine trait. These legendary Siddhas perfected this process of
reverse ageing. Going by these revelations it is obvious that you can stop the process
of aging and even delay the eventuality of death. God has created you, as his own
incarnate. Alongside He made you completely bereft of any knowledge of Maya or
illusory world. The realization that everyone is Shivswaroop (Shiva incarnate) would
have created an imbalance in the nature. We on our part, wish that more and more
people acquired this knowledge or Siddha Knowledge.

Q. Babaji, What is the basis of healing touch ? How does energized water, oil work so effectively ?
A. Healing is a part of spiritual powers. Universe is fountainhead of all these energies.
Basically healing touch is possible for only those who can access the divine energies of
the universe and harness them for healing purposes. A lot depends upon the
meditative prowess, willpower and spiritual excellence of the healer. These factors
enable the healer to remove the illness from the body of the afflicted person and fill it
with divine energy. Thus his health is restored.
As far as energizing water and oil is concerned, we garner the healing powers of
Mahamrityunjaya and Lord Shiva, and then we install them in water and oil. The
substances thus energized are portent enough to smoother the greatest of pain within
twenty seconds of their application. In some cases people with chronic history of
arthritis were cured of their ailments within no time after applying the energized oil.
Similarly people with chronic heart problems were relieved of their illness by the aid
of energized substances. They felt relief after few sec. of applying the energized oil.
Aforementioned healing powers work on five bodies. Every disease originates from
the highest etheric body and then permeates the lower body. Modern day medicines,
however, operate only on the physical body level. That’s the reason why diseases
treated by modern day medicines reappear after some time. However, Ayurveda and
other divine healing powers through their unique manner of treatment root out
diseases completely from the body. In the process they heal and cure all five bodies of
an individual including the Chakras.

Q. Babaji, how would you perceive Jesus’ teachings when he says, “O Lord ! Forgive them for
what they are doing. For they know not what they do.”. Does that mean are we not accountable
for evil deeds that we do ? For that purpose there is somebody else, who is outside us ?
A. You see, it’s like this. Siddhagurus always prayed on the behalf of other people,
because they knew more than an ordinary person. For, one who is ignorant is
committing the sin. Jesus knew that these people were committing the sin because
they were ignorant. So he prayed to God, “O Lord, forgive these people!”. Someone
has to pray on the behalf of the masses. Otherwise, if the prayer is not there, this
planet earth will be so much full of sins that the whole human race would be in
jeopardy. That is why, from time to time, God always sent a massihah—Someone who
comes to heal humanity, to heal the universe. This is how Jesus also came. He prayed

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 150

 
 
 for everybody. He requested God to forgive everyone. He believed people were
committing sins because they were ignorant. He is so nice, so positive. He is not
saying that they are committing the sins because they are ignorant. So Please forgive
them. He is pleading on your behalf. Hence he is so great. Try to become like him.
Spread that unconditional love. Your Heart Chakra should be always ready to give.
Baba (Siddhguru) says the same. “Your heart is eternally meant for giving”. The
unconditional love should always flow from your heart, like it flowed from the heart
of Jesus.

Q. Babaji, I have been plagued by a particular dilemma. So far I have not discussed it with anyone.
Now I wish to seek your guidance. My point is, in order to witness Kundalini awakening, is it
necessary that a person has to undergo all the incumbent Kriyas (seizures of delirium) like
laughing, sobbing etc ? Can a person experience Kundalini awakening while in Bhakti,
engrossed in deep meditation ?
A. For your answer I would cite an example from the sacred epic of Mahabharat. Many
princes and kings participated in Draupadi swayamwar. One such aspirant was Arjun,
the Pandav prince and an accomplished warrior. While he was aiming his arrow to
pierce the eye of the fish suspended above his head, his concentration was solely
directed at his target. This was not the ease with other contestants.
In the same manner, a Sadhak in Siddha Marg should concentrate only on taking
Bhagwati to his Crown Chakra. But lots of Kriyas precede this final act, therefore total
surrender before a Guru is a must. Of all the people, Guru knows everything that a
Sadhak has to do and in the same manner Guru also knows what a Sadhak is not
supposed to do. Besides, it is not necessary that every person may experience similar
type of Kriyas. That’s why we cannot regard experiences or accounts of Kundalini
awakening mentioned in books, as yardsticks. Just as lines on the palm are not
identical in every individual, the sameway experiences of heightened state of
consciousness like Kundalini Jagran can never be the same for people.
As for the remaining part of your question, first and foremost you should be clear
what you want. Whether you want Moksha or silent meditation. If your ultimate goal
is salvation, you, then cannot choose your way. Because you don’t know the way. For
this journey the reigns will have to be entrusted to Guru’s hands. Thereafter it all
depends upon him, how to take you to your destination. As for the rest, Kriyas,
essentially do not occur all the time. They (Kriyas) occur for sometime and after they
disappear and are replaced by other Kriyas. Every Kriya has its own experience.
Kundalini exerts appropriate force to clear the blockages that occur in Sushumna, due
to the prevailing conditions. The serpent power is extremely intelligent and
knowledgeable. It induces the body to perform only those Yogic Kriyas, Pranayams,
Mudras and Bhakthi Bhavas, which are necessary. That’s precisely why all the Yogas
namely – Hathyoga, Kriyayog, Layayog, Rajyog, Dhyanyog, Premyog –are an integral
part of Siddha Kundalini Yoga. Another interesting fact is that you do not have to
learn any of these Yogas. Once Shaktipat is imparted and Kundalini begins to rise,
these natural processes begin to work on their own inside the body. Moreover,
everything that happens during and after Kundalini awakening should be taken for its
face value. One should not try and read too much into them. Never venture into the
reasons for all that you experience. Or the next day if you experience something
different, do not contemplate ‘why did it happen like this ?’ Such a mindset will slow
down the progress of your spiritual quest. Whatever comes your way regard that as
Guruprasad and get as much as you can.

Q. Babaji, What Shiv Panchakshari Mantra. Can you enlighten us on its significance?
A. Shiv Panchakshari Mantra is drawn from the five elements of nature namely, Earth,
Sky, Water, Air and Fire. This Mantra is capable of cleansing up all these elements. See
of this Beeja Mantra has all the characteristics of its parent body. In a way it is a
miniscule of its parent form, complete with everything. A Seed of a gigantic banyan
tree is a comparatively tiny object but it has everything in it, right from trunk, leaves
and other attributes. Shiv Panchakshari Mantra is evolved from the five seeds of
aforesaid natural elements, Namah Shivaya. Na Consecrates Prithwi Tatwa, Ma does
the same with Jal Tatwa (Water factor) Shi energizes Agni Tatwa (Fire element) Va
energizes Vayu Tatwa (Air factor) and finally Ya energizes Akash Tatwa (Sky
element). Om purifies Paramtatwa and Crown Chakra.
Whenever a Sadhak invokes this Mantra during meditation or Tandav, he does so
giving the impression as if he is applying percussion beats on every Chakra, using the
skilful strokes of a Tabla Player. On the note of Na he starts from Muladhara, with Ma
he reaches Swadisthan, as he says Shi he enters Manipur and at Anahata he produces
the sound Vaya. In a subtle manner if you look at the whole pattern it seems like a
sequence of percussion notes of Mridang (musical instrument). Shiv Panchakshari
Mantra has terrific vibrations which cleanse all five elements present inside the body.

Q. Babaji, Why is there so much of unrest in this world ?

A. The unrest and confusion is bound to be there because we have moved away from the
center of our living. The entire burden of a man’s existence is dependent on his brain.
His life-right from earning his bread to even his happiness and unhappiness-
nowadays is dependent on his brain. We all know that only four percent of the
conscious brain is functioning. Everybody has lot of expectations from each other. He
draws attention for his existence, from meagre four percent of his cerebral power.
Thus his mind functions under extreme duress and as a result there is tension,
hypertension and frustration. Peace comes from within. A peaceful person will never
make anyone restless. In present atmosphere of conflict and turmoil, every human
being regards the other as his enemy. These delusional fear creates imaginary
monsters outside. Little does he realize, he will be very peaceful if he can sort himself
out and get attached to the center of his being once again. The world would become
extremely peaceful place, if that happens.

Q. Babaji, my child is suffering from chronic cough. Despite best treatment the cough keeps on
recurring. I am extremely worried for his health. Kindly enlighten me about the remedy which
you feel is the best ?
A. These days chronic cough among children is quite rampant. What surprises me more
is the attitude of the people. On the first symptom of cough, they scurry to the doctor
and come back with some steroid. “Wheezing” is the term the petrified mothers use to
describe this cough. In fact this is nothing but a notion.
I will tell you a very simple way to putting such cough related ailments to rest once for
all. Take an onion and extricate its juice. Mix this juice with honey. For proportion use
your own discretion. Recite, “Om Namah Bhagawatey Rudraye” and give this
concoction to the child. He may vomit because it tastes absolutely bitter. But if you
give this to the child five to six times, he will never have any cough.
Treat children with love and affection. Never scare them with anything. Problem is, if
parents bring up the child with love; the teachers in school frighten the kid into

 submission. Bickering and squabbling among the parents is extremely harmful for
child’s psyche. Child develops fear and other aberrations after witnessing frequent
quarrels between his parents constantly at loggerheads with each other is more prone
to illnesses. Constant quarrelling among the parents terribly affects the open aura of
the child. Therefore, never quibble before your child. Life is too short to waste on
trivialities like bickering and all. Spend your life in love and happiness.

Q. Babaji, I am persistently dogged by a crippling back pain. Once it sets in, my daily routine is
severely affected. The Pain is excruciating. Babaji, Please show me some way out of this
predicament?
A. Sadhana, Dhyan and Nature are portent enough to cure chest pain and back pain. Go
to a tree and pray, “Oh ! You are so wonderful and I love you. I shower my
unconditional love on you, I pray to Shiva to make you extremely healthy. Please help
me in regaining good health.” Stand with your back leaning against the tree. Now feel
its warmth and pray “You are very wonderful and divine.” Now bless the mother
Earth saying “Mother Earth I bless you. You are wonderful and very divine. Please
grant me good health.”
As you are in total communion with the tree and mother earth, you will feel soothing
vibrations in your back, as if someone is gently healing you with tender hands. That
would be the tree doctor working on your back. Now turn around, hug the tree and
say, “I bless you. You are wonderful. Thank you very much for healing me. Please
keep on healing me.” That is the natural method for natural cure.
Go to your nearest park and adopt a tree. Shower your love on the tree. The tree, as
you will find, will bless you in reciprocation. It will take out all pain and strain from
your body. You must also interact with all the five basic elements of nature. Try to
breathe in from the tree and then exhale. Draw the breath from the earth right upto
your head and then release the breath. Repeat the exercise with sun, and sky also. In
the end you will emerge much healthier and free of nagging ailments.

Q. Babaji, Is modern medicine capable enough to take care of our health ? Can we also include
ancient healing techniques and medicines along with modern medicine for maximum results ?
A. You see, medicines are designed to rectify the occurrence of a particular disorder for
the time being. Disorder is an indication that we are not moving in the right direction.
Something is wrong. Our corrective measures are transitional-meaning we take the aid
of medicines until the time we change our habits. The outcome is that we recuperate
only to the extent of time we are taking medicines. Not any further.
For everlasting cure, as I said earlier, you have to embrace three basic elements of the
nature. As you gradually increase the ratio of Sadhana, Yoga, and Nature in your life,
you establish a harmony. Henceforth, you don’t need medicines anymore. Another
very disturbing factor in this context is total dependency on medicine. Medicines
should always be taken in moderate quantity. In other words, medicines should
always be taken in moderate quantity.
In order words, medicine should be taken as medicine and not as food. Nowadays we
are taking an overdose of medicine. The trouble is, we are not ready to change
ourselves. We are not ready to restore harmony to our disharmonious behaviour.
Nonetheless, we have to correct ourselves. Or else there is no point blaming the
doctors or the medicines for our woes. Poor doctor cannot prescribe anything but
medicine as a remedy. On your part, you have to exercise your choice for better health.

 You’d be better served if you include the three elements of nature as a therapeutic
measure along with optimum usage of medicines.

Q. Babaji, Is it true that allopathic drugs have equally portent side effects ? But still people persist
with it. Could you please specify, of all the systems of medicine, which one is most appropriate
and less virulent mode of treatment. Especially the one with minimal side effects and after
effects ?
A. It is true every allopathic medicine has a side effect. Sometimes side effects are the
main reasons for prescription of a particular medicine. Above all, medicines are
chemicals. If you ask me, the best way to steer clear of medicines is to remain healthy.
For that to happen, it is essential to lead a disciplined life. That way everything will
stay in control and the situation of resorting to medicines will not arise at all. At the
same time one should be flexible on the issue of medicines. You should never display
stubbornness towards the use of medicines. Like ‘I will never take medicine’ type of
mindset. But by staying in tune with nature, you can avert illness.
Now let us take a look at alternative therapies. Generally Ayurveda is good. But going
by the instances of adulteration, one never knows whether the Ayurvedic medicine is
truly an Ayurvedic medicine. Honestly speaking, I would use the term “Ayurveda”
only for the medicine which is prepared either by me in person or right before my
eyes. If, for instance, Gelatine capsules are proclaimed as having Ayurvedic elements,
then, certainly it defies logic. Because on one side you have nature, one the flip side
you have chemicals. It is absolutely puzzling.
Homeopath is efficacious. It is, in fact, a theory of vaccination. Ayurveda, on its part, is
an excellent form of treatment, provided it is Ayurveda in reality. Anyway, the trio of
Dhyan, Sadhana, and Nature is the best protection against diseases. This is what we
inculcate in our Ashrams. Rather, we are working solely on the principals of these
three elements. In future, we plan to keep animals, we believe, is always fruitful.
Because they exchange energy from you. Animals give you some of their energy and
take some of your energy. Overall, such exchanges lead to better health.

Q. Babaji, What is Meditation?

A. Meditation is something that everyone has heard about, many have talked and written
about but there are very few people who have really experienced it. Many people
think meditation to be only relaxation; it is much more than that. Meditation is a state
in which we are one with our true self. There is no external thought, emotion or
activity going in our mind. We experience our true nature in meditation i.e. divine
bliss and unconditional love. This state energizes all our faculties and expands our
consciousness and mind power as a result when we come out of meditation our
perception becomes more clear and sharp. It balances our reasoning and creative mind
enabling us to take correct and quick decisions. The concentration is greatly enhanced
giving a boost to efficiency. Now the same outside world also appears beautiful
because one who experiences the divine bliss and love inside also sees the reflection of
it outside. This makes relationships more loving, meaningful and fulfilling.

Q. Babaji, How can I experience meditation?

A. It is very difficult to experience this state with only our efforts alone, but when one
receives Guru's Grace one spontaneously enters this state of meditation. It is just like a
small piece of iron getting magnetized in the strong magnetic field of a large magnet.

Q. Babaji, When it is only by grace and not efforts that I can experience meditation then why
should I make efforts?
A. It is through sincere efforts only one becomes worthy of receiving The Divine Grace.

Q. Babaji, When I sit for meditation, my legs and back start hurting. What should I do?
A. The “Sarpa Kriyas” taught in “ShivYogTM Level I - The Physical Body” helps one to
achieve a disease free healthy body. These kriyas work on a very subtle level any
remove any disharmony present in the physical body. Also the 'Sanjeevani Healing'
empowerment received during the session enables one to pull out from the root any
disease present in his body or anybody else's body. This healing is so powerful that
one can literally feel the disease being pulled from the system and a warm soothing
energy entering the system.

Q. Babaji, Is ones family an obstruction in the way of 'Moksha'?

A. “ShivYogTM” says that running from ones responsibilities is not spirituality. When you
are living with your family and doing Sadhana, the family is there to take care of all
your needs. Two hours of Sadhana everyday is sufficient for a householder and this
Sadhana energizes him and makes him more efficient in fulfilling ones responsibility
at the same time giving him spiritual upliftment. Also forcefully giving up ones family
or anything else brings only misery while one who concentrates on his Sadhana
instead up on giving up things automatically develops a detached attitude towards
everything. He lives a complete life and without getting attached to anything becomes
worthy of receiving “Moksha”.

Q. Babaji, What kind of food is conducive to Sadhana?

A. Food can be categorized into three types – Sattwic, Rajasic and Tamasic.
Sattwic : Sattwic food is full of life force energy, when eaten makes one calm and
energetic at the same time and purifies the senses and the mind. Example of such food
is fresh fruits and vegetables and cows milk.
Rajasic : Rajasic food is one that makes one aggressive and makes the senses restless.
Spicy food comes under this category.
Tamasic : Tamasic food is one that makes one lethargic and dulls the senses and the
mind. Stale and non vegetarian food comes under this category.
The food that we eat should be full of Life Force Energy (Tejas) as dull food would
only dissipate our energy in digesting it. Fresh fruits and vegetables even when kept
out of the refrigerator last for a few days but meat cannot even last for few hours
without refrigeration. This indicates that fruits contain life force energy while meat has
no life force energy and it is already in the process of decay. Tinned and processed
food full of chemicals and preservatives should also be avoided.
When a person starts doing “ShivYogTM” Sadhana he automatically develops a liking
for Sattwic food and aversion for Rajasic and Tamasic food.

Q. Babaji, my son does not listen to me, what should I do?

A. Amma, what is it that you want your son to listen? You all love your children but you
attach so many conditions to it that the child starts thinking he is not lovable may be
he is so bad that he does not deserve anybody’s love and Amma I am talking about
small children. May be when your son six or seven years old you might be thinking at

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 155

 
 
 that time that you were correcting him but to a child it seems like rejection. Love is
only love; it is not correcting anybody. If it is pure unconditional love then the change
that you want in the other person will happen automatically. Your love will not let
him go in wrong direction. Your love will act as an anchor for him. It will be his
support and strength. So next time, when you want to correct your child make sure
you are not crippling him emotionally. Be his strength and you will see that he will
listen to everything that you will say.

Q. Babaji when you do a lot for someone and that person praises someone else in front of you; why
does it hurt so much?
A. Why do you analyze someone’s behaviour? I am sure that person for whom you are
doing something must be appreciating you as well. But you are comparing his or her
behaviour with other people. Comparison is a foolish thing. Each one of you is Shiva
divine and peerless. There has never been anyone like you in the past, nor there do
anyone like you in the future ever again. Remember you do not have to be like
anyone. You are accepted the way you are. So discard the emotion of jealousy. It is
worthless. God loves you the way you are. Sadguru accepts you the way you are but
at times he may seem harsh or indifferent but that is for your own good. Like a father
Sadguru is only interested in your development and he wants the very best for you.

Q. Babaji is it true that human body is not meant for non-vegetarian food?
A. Paramatma has constituted the body of every living being according to specific
requirements of that particular creature. Human body was composed in such a way
that made it a vegetarian species. There is a distinct difference between herbivorous
and carnivorous creatures. The difference is in the form of length of their entails or
intestines. It is believed that intestines of carnivorous creatures are short in
comparison to herbivorous beings. The approximate dimensions of human intestines
measures up to that of other carnivorous animals. But not with those of carnivorous
entities like lion etc.
It is a very sensitive issue. People are generally curious to know about it. In our Siddha
Marg we cannot castigate anyone saying you will commit sin if you eat meat or vice
versa. We have scientific approach towards everything. Nevertheless, it is said that
non-vegetarian food is beneficial. In the text books of schools it is explicitly mentioned
if someone wants calcium he is recommended to consume milk, eggs, paneer, meat
and fish. Calcium is present in all these foodstuffs. So it is widely believed that non-
vegetarian food yields calcium.
We have our own way of looking at the issue. When a person consumes meat, it gets
converted into different enzymes in his body. One such enzyme is uric acid. Uric acid
is highly toxic capable of neutralizing our body if it is presents in large proportions.
Calcium is the only antidote to counter the ill effects of uric acid. Now, isn’t it strange
that calcium which itself accrues from non-vegetarian food is required to offset the
harmful effects of non-vegetarian food? It is some what akin to the instance of capital
money being required to tide over the repercussions of gross interest. In the same
manner, people with non-vegetarian food habits have comparatively weaker bones as
borne out by the high ratio of osteoporosis, an extremely fatal bone related disease.
Percentage of this disease is higher in non-vegetarians as compared to vegetarians.
Now I have clearly explained the actual reality of the whole issue regarding
consumption of meat. Now let us come to another point which pertains to vegetarian

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 156

 
 
 food. These days extensive chemicals are used in growing the vegetables. And
insecticides are used in protecting the crops. These chemicals have toxic contents.
When you wash the vegetables before cooking them, this poison is removed from the
foodstuff. Similarly urea is mixed with poultry feed at many places. This is done in
order to facilitate growth in their sizes. External additives such as these are fat-soluble.
Meaning these chemicals are dissolved in the fat of animals who consume them.
Sometimes in the proportion of sixty percent. You consume that much of chemicals
when you eat such food. To the effect that a non-vegetarian person becomes highly
vulnerable to diseases like cancer.
All the same, you should eat Tejyukt (bearing life force energy) which is imperishable.
Law of nature states that fruits, leaves, vegetables, leafs etc have very high content of
life force energy. That’s why fruits and vegetables are able to retain their freshness
long after they are plucked out, while Tej in animals is confined only till the time they
are active, the moment they are killed or slaughtered they become Nishtej (lifeless). If
you keep meat and fruits side by side for the whole day, by the evening fruit will be
fresh with its smell whereas meat will produce foul smell, because it has started to
decay. The moment Tej becomes extinct decay sets in. Decay is degeneration. It is a
continuation of death. Fruit will never exhibit these symptoms even if you keep it for
one month. Difference between fruit and meat lies in their respective life span. Or you
can say Tej. If you consume meat you unwittingly consume all its concomitant
ingredients of decay. The decaying process takes roots in your own body. That’s why
herbivorous beings have comparatively healthy and strong composition. With
comparison carnivorous beings are small in size and also composition. Same goes for
their longevity too.
All said and done, I will not venture into the holy or otherwise merits and demerits of
the whole issue. I can only say that spiritually speaking it is unwise to advocate non-
vegetarianism or vice versa. These days’ people are obsessed with net gains…. What
you get in return….. Now it is for you to ponder over the consequences of being a non-
vegetarian or a vegetarian. On my part I have laid the facts of the entire matter before
you. The choice is yours. Use your discretion. Bless you!

Q. Babaji, Going by the lives of great people, it can be said that they had the inkling of impending
events. They could foretell them or predict them. Is there any such thing as Prarabdha. If so
how can a person influence the impending events of his life?
A. It is essential for you to know what is Prarabdha. Prarabdha is destiny. Suppose you
decide you have to reach the third floor of the third block from here. You then
commence your journey. You Prarabdha right now is that in present you are moving
towards third floor of third block. Future of your Prarabdha is – you will reach third
floor of the third block within five minutes. Your Prarabdha i.e. your future and
present is taking shape due to your actions. Karmas that you undertook in gradual
stages have a decisive impact here. Your first karma was the thought that came to
your mind. Secondly, you decided to implement your thought into actions, that was
your second karma. That you acted upon your decision and proceeded towards your
destination was your third karma. Your present will indicate the direction in which
you have to travel. If someone were to predict he would say ‘you will reach there’. In
the same manner, man shapes his Prarabdha by his actions. When his entire act would
be measured, everything would start from the hall where he thought he should go to
the third floor of the third block. In exactly middle of his journey if he happens to meet
some Gyani or learned person, the sort who can foretell his destination, that’s how it

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 157

 
 
 would be.
There is another side to it. If a person contemplates he has to go somewhere. He does
not exactly know where. But he sets out accordingly, after sometime he decides to take
some rest. He then proceeds towards his destination aimlessly. Prarabdha of this man
suggests he would never reach his destination. By some miracle he can reach
somewhere or else he will drift aimlessly. This is what his future says. According to
his present he is wandering aimlessly. His thoughts had no definite shape and were
completely lopsided. Needless to say, people run their lives on somewhat similar
lines. They do not contemplate about their actions, neither they appear concerned
about their destinations. All the same they await someone who can predict their final
destination rather optimistically. If any knowledgeable person were to tell this aimless
wanderer that he would reach nowhere, in that case the drifter would cease all his
attempts towards finding a way. In utter disillusion he would slump on the spot. This
is so, because as per his destiny or Prarabdha revealed to him, he would go nowhere.
This is a common syndrome prevalent in society. Far from it, you script your own
destiny or Prarabdha. More importantly since you are creating you own destiny
therefore it is all the more easier for you to alter it, if you wish. Here I would like to
add that Siddhas are Trikaldarshi. Meaning they can see where you are and also they
can perceive the ultimate place where you would finally reach. The only thing is a
Siddha would never reveal all these facts to you.

Q. Babaji, I find it extremely difficult to weed out negative thought. The same way emergence of
positive thought is equally tough for me. Can you tell me some mantra that would enable me to
tackle this problem?
A. If a fly falls in your tea cup, what would you do? Definitely you would take that insect
out. If I “say let it be there, as taking it out would be a bit painful”, would you agree to
it? No; because it is too repulsive. Remember, negative thought is like a makkhi or fly
in the cup. Therefore, don’t consume it. Rather, consume the positive thought. The day
you make the first attempt in this direction your life will change for the better.

Q. Babaji, tell us how to differentiate between positive and negative thought?

A. Do you have a family? Can you tell us whether they love you? (The participant replies
in the affirmative). The mere thought that they love is positive thought. If someone
says “aap ko budhhoo banaya jaa raha hay”(you are being fooled). You would sit and
ponder over it. Now, if you persist with the thought that your family doesn’t loves
you. Your actions would start reflecting the fact that your family is indifferent to you.
After some time you start experiencing this indifference. You will start seeing the
result that they don’t love you. Gradually, the people who love you will create an
aversion for you.
On the contrary, if you start thinking that they love you repeatedly over and over
again. In between, if you dispel all the negative thoughts creeping into your mind, I
am sure you will have a wonderful family life. Spirituality or eternal bliss is possible
only when you have a positive outlook. In the absence of positivity, you can never
achieve bliss, no matter if the entire ocean-load of spiritually is poured into your inner
self. Positive thinking is a vital prerequisite for happy life.
Precisely for these reasons in my Mantra Deeksha, in addition to making you chant
mantras in unison, I always ensure that you repeat: “Bhagwan tumse prem karta hay aur
tum Bhagwan se prem karte ho (God loves you and you love God)” after every mala. In

 the event of my not doing so, you may choose the thought that because you have not
recited the rosary, hence God is about to get angry with you. You may then wonder if
God is angry with you, what kind of punishment is he going to inflict on you?
Ultimately you will create a punishment.
With the result, you will say, look now I got this punishment! Such acts will give rise
to beliefs like “agar Shivji ki mala nehi japoge to eysa loss hoga ” (failure to chant the
rosary in the glory of Lord Shiva would invoke such loss). Such beliefs, later would
transform into a philosophy. You may find some people saying “eysa kehte hay ke agar
hum Shivji ki pooja karte hay aur ek din na Kare to nuksan hoga” (it is said that daily if you
are worshiping Lord Shiva, subsequently if you fail to worship him for a day, then it
would bring loss to you). Therefore, it is very essential for you to choose your thought
in all your actions. Because these very thoughts make you what you are.
During one similar session at Shanmukhanand hall a thought occurred to one of the
audience that everyone should come here. Steadily the same thought became more
frequent. Finally the recurring thought went on to become a mantra. No sooner had it
become a mantra, the like minded people began to converge on the said venue.
Subsequently, every one’s mind became preoccupied with a recurring thought that
Babaji should be here. As a sequel to that thought, we all have gathered here today.
Therefore, always try to create positive thoughts, as they in turn would transform
your lives for the better.
Someone was talking to me about terrorism. I said that the entire phenomenon is a
culmination of collective thought process. Some years ago in America, a person was
fascinated by the sight of huge skyscrapers dotting the skyline. He then wondered
what would happen if one day an aeroplane crashed into one of these towering
structures. Later the idea was adopted into a film. Millions of people watched the
movie portraying the incident. As an obvious impact a multitude of people conjured
the images of the whole incident in their minds as to how the planes are going to crash
into the buildings. Ironically, the same mass thought gave shape to the actual incident.
Therefore, never watch or allow the children to see negative movies. Such movies
generate negative thoughts bordering on the incidents that are portrayed in them. If
the child comes under the influence of similar negative thoughts he might get
disturbed. Even looking at himself in the mirror may scare him. His energy field may
get polluted. So the gist of the matter is: use your discretion to distinguish positive
thought from the negative one.

Q. Babaji, I am a doctor by profession. Despite my best efforts, I am not able to keep out negative
thoughts. While treating patients, negative thoughts appear in the form of fear of
complications. At times I refer to books to find out the exact combination of treatment. But the
negative aspects mentioned in the books linger on in my mind eventually clouding my
diagnosis. How can I use positive thoughts to overcome this problem?
A. Yes, I will give you a very suitable example. A renowned gynaecological surgeon from
North India had a peculiar dilemma. Her hands used to tremble in the course of
surgical operations. Ultimately a stage came when her husband, who is an
accomplished surgeon himself, was forced to perform operations under her guise. Fed
up with this predicament, she took Deeksha from me. The lady confessed she had
reconciled to her worst fear that she was not capable of performing operations
anymore. She was certain that her hands would start trembling the moment she
picked up surgical instruments. I advised her not to bother about her hands; rather she

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 159

 
 
 should start thinking that se is the best surgeon. I asked her to choose the same
thought intermittently before and after the meditations.
One day the unthinkable happened. It so happened that during one operation,
Condition of the patient started sinking alarmingly. The moment she learnt this she
felt a sudden surge of confidence inside her. Perhaps the gravity of the situation
infused divinity and courage in her. The lady entered the operation theatre and took
charge of the situation. She grabbed the surgical appliances from her husband’s hands
and immediately created “pillar of life”, as we call it in our healing parlance. Much to
her husband’s utter amazement, she successfully performed a marathon surgery.
Condition of the patient reverted rose from ‘critical’ to ‘normal’. Her husband in
complete disbelief asked, “how did you do it?” His surgeon wife replied, “Babaji
taught me how to do it.” Thereafter, she started believing she was the best. Now she
was absolutely confident that her patient would respond positively to her mere touch.
The gynaecologist attributed her startling recovery to Lord Shiva. Shiva is Bhagwan
Mahamrityunjay, the infallible one who will definitely give Jeevandan or resurrection.
Insofar as your question is concerned, I don’t think you ever need to consult books.
Just pray to Shiva, “O Lord! Bless me with healing powers and guide me to the
appropriate steps required for my patient’s recovery”. You will find that automatically
your thoughts and actions will restore the health of your patient. On the contrary, if
you question your own ability to heal the patient. You might never be able to do so
because positivity is very important.

Q. Babaji, I fully agree with you that positive though creates positive energy and negative though
will create negative energy. Similarly, I have also read that Maharishi Valmiki was a robber
initially but later when he incessantly chanted Mara, Mara……... he became Ram. So what
kind of energy did he possess?
A. The Saptarishis knew that he was very negative. They believed isko Ram bole to yeh
kahega nehi (if we ask him to chant Ram he will not do so). Hence they played a trick
on him. They gave him a word Mara, which he perceived to be negative, but actually it
was positive.
Ultimately he went on chanting that word Mara, Mara and it became Ram. This is
what I am trying to illustrate. The thought that comes to the mind repeatedly becomes
a mantra. If you go on chanting the same mantra, it becomes a reality. That’s how
Baalu lootera (dacoit) went on to become Maharishi Valmiki purely on the strength of
thoughts that he created. That is why I always say, be very particular, very selective in
choosing your thoughts.

Q. Babaji, some people achieve so much with so little effort. Whereas others, despite their
monumental efforts, never beget what they aspire for. If destiny is determined by the amount of
effort or hard work, then why this discrepancy? And if fate is premeditated then what is the
significance of effort?
A. This question contains lot of questions. Someone works hard and begets nothing. At
the same time the other one gets so much with so little effort. If you keep a piece of
paper in sunlight. Allow it to remain in the sunlight for months altogether. You will
not find any difference, the piece of paper will remain unaffected. Now you fold a
magnifying glass the one that directs sunrays to a focal point above the piece of paper.
In a few minutes the paper will catch fire.
This example illustrates the bottom line of above described cases. You work hard.

Physically you put in a strenuous effort. But is your heart centric in all your
endeavours? Mere physical effort is not enough. Physical effort should be
accompanied by the involvement of heart. You must have confidence in yourself.
Secondly, you must have clear-cut idea of what you want. To quote an example; in one
our earlier meditation programs I asked a question. I will address the same question to
you. Please tell me quickly what exactly you want out of your own lives? What do you
want from the God? Although it took three days for people to figure out what exactly
they expected from their lives and God. Most common refrain was Mukti. It is so easy
to say Mukti because Mukti has become a fashionable word. But in reality do you
know what Mukti is? Mukti is another definition of self-realization. Now how self
realization does come about?
There are two recourses to self-realization. One path is that of renouncement, adopted
by Bhagwan Mahavir- a prince. Are you ready to embrace this path? It is not easy, as
you perceive it to be. To make my point I will tell you a story. Once, to impart
knowledge to Arjuna Krishna took the guise of a Brahman and took him along. Both
of them went to the house of a very rich landlord. The duo said aloud, “Bhikshamdehi,
Brahman has come please give us food.” Out of that palatial house came a very
strident voice, “There is nothing to eat here. You two better move off.” The voice
belonged to the owner of that house. Lord Krishna, unmindful of shoddy treatment
meted out to them, blessed the owner, “May your wealth multiply ten times more,” he
said. Both of them lift the place. Sometime later they came to the house of very poor
farmer. The poor man had nothing to eat. He had a frail looking cow that yielded
some milk.
A dilapidated hut, some torn clothes and a feeble cow were the only possessions the
farmer had. Krishna and Arjuna went up to him and asked for food. Farmer washed
their feet and wiped them clean. He then took the duo inside his hut and gave them
cow’s milk. Both Krishna and Arjuna were moved by his hospitality. As they came out
of the hut Lord Krishna said, “may your cow die this very moment.” Krishna’s words
left Arjuna completely aghast. “I am not able to fathom your motives. On one hand
you bless a capricious tyrant of a man with more prosperity. While on the other hand
you are depriving a poor and virtuous man of his only source of sustenance his cow?”
Krishna said Arjuna you are naive. Then he went on to explain his rationale. “The
landlord was already deeply entangled in the cobweb of Maya. The nature of his
karmas will never enable him to attain Moksha. That’s why I ordained him to get
deeper into the spell of Maya with blessings of more wealth. Increase in wealth is a
source of consternation and not a source of pleasure or joy. Whereas the farmer had
only one potential source of temptation i.e. his cow. Now in absence of any kind of
temptation, he can cross the chasm of self realization.” This is first recourse of Self-
Realization.
The second recourse is steeped in Bhog and Moksha. Before going any further we
must understand what Moksha is. Moksha is attainment of Eternal Bliss…..
Attainment of Self…. Self-Realization….. The Real “I” is nothing but Eternal Bliss….
An integral part of Shiva. Your quest for Eternal Bliss is to be pursued through
meditation. As you progress in your quest you forsake your own wellbeing. In the face
of Bliss your individual happiness is comprehensively inconsequential. Because Bliss
is eternal whereas happiness is occasional or momentary. In this manner, as you
advance deeply into the state of Bliss, a feeling of detachment takes over. The urge to
abdicate or renounce becomes stronger. Mundane worldly pleasure lose their charm.

Q. Babaji, I am unable to concentrate. Dhyan nehi lagta. Therefore my best efforts to meditate
come to a naught. Could you suggest a remedy?
A. It would be wrong to say that Dhyan nehi lagta. You are a part of Shiva who is always
meditating. Once you are a part of him, how come that you cannot meditate?
Everyone is in constant state of meditation all the time. Now if you suddenly incur a
loss of five lakh rupees, you would obviously be deeply disturbed. You will think
about your loss so much that you will go in a state of trance. Or if there is a squabble
in the family you would constantly think about it. If someone makes an uncharitable
remark about you, it would definitely upset you and you will start meditating on that
incident. Your focus or Dhyan will always center on such trivial matters. And
naturally you would not be able to concentrate on whatever else you are supposed to
be doing. So you are meditating, but on something that is negative.
So many people come to us especially the youngsters. Their problems are typical.
Someone’s girlfriend has walked out on him. The chap is in a mess. Any question
regarding his name personal details is met with a stony silence. His Dhyan is so
intense that he has reached the cosmic state of consciousness or Turyavastha. But
focus of his devotion is a girl. If similar intense focus was devoted on Shiva he would
have attained self realization. Honestly speaking, we have to change the direction of
meditation.
You can overcome all the adversities of life if you start meditating on higher energies
instead of the lower one. When you are meditating on negative things you get
connected with darker world. Once you are connected with the darker world lot of
misery, pain and suffering come your way. But if you are meditating on Shiva, you are
tuned on to happiness. When I say Shiva, I don’t mean a particular deity or form, it is
positive energy-the creator. Once you are meditating on him, you are connected with
the brighter world. As a result you experience lot of prosperity, joy and tranquillity
and peace. Here I would like to add that now-a-days there is a new and wide spread
variant of Dhyan, which we call depression. In my view it is a very intense Dhyan. It is
called depression because Dhyan is focused on the negative side. The person is
thinking about wrong things bad incidents, focusing on his sorrow and miseries. Now
when he is all the time thinking and focusing on these things, he would get precisely
the same from universe. If he changes the direction of his meditation and concentrate
on God. He will definitely get every thing positive that this universe has in store for
him. Eventually such person attains self-realization.

Q. Babaji, I am an ardent disciple of yours. Can you please tell me, what is the role of destiny in an
individual’s life? Can we make or break our destiny?
A. To have destiny you should have a destination. First you have destination then God
will give you destiny. So long as you yourself don’t know where you want to go, what
can destiny do for you? Without you charting your path or destination, how can God
show you the way? Once you set out for a particular place from you home, God helps
you in reaching there. Same way, if you embark on the journey of your life without
knowing your destination, there is no way God can help you locate it. What destiny
will he bestow on you till the time you don’t know where is your destination? Once
you decide okay, that’s where I want to reach, I am sure God will ensure that you
reach your destination.

Q. Babaji, what is meditation? How do you define the entire process of meditation? And what do
we stand to gain out of it?

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 162

 
 
A. Meditation is rediscovering yourself. The world is full of so ma impurities, like
impurity of thought and pollution of mind. Meditation allows you to retrospect
yourself and then purify the polluted or affected part in you. In essence, meditation is
seeking to explore your inner self, while in constant communion with positive energy
that is God. You leave your physical being and analyze yourself from outside.
It is just like looking at yourself in a mirror. That mirror is meditation, which shows
both the darker and brighter sides of your being. As you meditate your mind becomes
purer and you head towards the eternal bliss. Meditation is your medium to
communicate with God and stay connected to him. As you communicate the polluted
part in you gets purified. It is your channel of communication with God. Mind you,
there is no set ritual for meditation.

Q. Babaji, how does one rectify past mistakes?

A. First and foremost do not allow Atmaglani (guilt consciousness) to seep into your
Mann (heart). If you commit any mistake inadvertently, ask for forgiveness. Shiva
never wants you in distress. Instead he wants you to stay on the right path. The same
message is contained in the first chapter of Shiv Mahapurana. Negative traits like
hatred, anger and guilt are self-replicating.
Realization that you have erred itself tantamount to half job done towards cleansing.
The remaining part ends when you sit before Him and pray “God please forgive me
for my mistake. I send unconditional love and blessings to all those people who
suffered on account of my wrong deeds. I seek your pardon, have mercy on me.” You
then find wave of positivity surging within yourself. Bless you.

Q. Babaji, does family obstruct in one’s Dhyan Sadhana ?

A. Family definitely is not an obstruction in one’s Dhyan Sadhana. Fulfilling one’s duties
in life as a householder and staying connected with Shiva all the time is finest form of
Sadhana. Spiritualism never advocates escapism and should never be used as an
excuse for not doing work. Many of our sages were married and had families. Married
life never militates against Sadhana. Spirituality and worldliness are two sides of the
same coin operating on a parallel course.
With proper balance between them, they compliment each other. Your spirituality
helps you in becoming a better husband, a better housewife, a better mother, a better
son and a focused and dedicated employee or considerate and compassionate
employer.
If you understand Dhyan Sadhana in its right perspective and practice it every day it
will give you a beautiful insight that will change your outlook and make everything
divine and wonderful around you. Bless you.

Q. Babaji, does too much love for somebody distracts one from Sadhana?
A. What is too much of love? Love can never be quantified. It is just love. And if it is
unconditional it will bring lot of happiness and peace to the giver and the receiver. It
can never impede Dhyan or Sadhana because when there is peace and tranquillity
around you, it is easier to meditate. If your too much of love has too many conditions
attached to it, it will cause so much of ‘upadrav’ (upheavals) in your life that you will
not be able to do anything properly, leave alone Dhyan and Sadhana. Unconditional
love is divine. It is absolutely pure and has no obsessions. It flows like a clean water
stream. It is given because it makes you happy and your happiness is your reward. It

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 163

 
 
 will improve your Sadhana and not cause any hindrance to it. Bless you.

Q. Babaji, What is the exact definition of unconditional love?

A. Love can be categorized into two distinct forms. Conditional and Unconditional.
Conditional love is reflected in the following instance. I have a son. I bring him up in
the best possible manner pampering him with choicest of luxury available under my
means. He has best of the education. When it comes to his marriage I expect him to
marry someone of my choice. My daughter in law should be according to my wishes.
Now I have attached condition to my love. Whereas in reality I loved him because it
gave me immense bliss.
I was thrilled to see him grow up before my eyes, satisfied that I did my best for him.
Speaking of unconditional love, if husband and wife share unconditional love, their
domestic life would be utterly devoid of any squabbles. Presence of unconditional
love between mother and son would eliminate all possibilities of any friction.
Unconditional love transcends the barriers of Satwa, Rajas and Tamas. Because there is
no prefixed condition. Blessings devoid of any ulterior motive will augur well for you.
Therefore make it a point to bless all the good things that you see around you. That
would be the best example of unconditional blessings.

Q. Babaji, What is the correct method to perform Dhyan?

A. You can go about your Dhyan in the following manner. First of all choose a
Mahamantra (Siddha Mantra). Let us begin with Siddhamantra “Om Shiva”. Either
this or “Om Namah Shivay”. To illustrate the hypothesis comprehensively, the
analogy of a person drawing water from the well is the best suitable example. The
bottom of the well is equated with Muladhara Chakra. Top of the well is construed as
Sahasrara Chakra. Om mantra is likened to the process of drawing bucket upwards to
the mouth of the well. When you say Om you draw your breath upwards in the
direction of your head just the same way as the bucket is pulled upwards. Namah
indicates the pause, when you empty the bucket. As you exhale your breath chanting
Shivay, you simulate the downward movement of the bucket. In this manner your
breath will draw your Dhyan from Muladhara to Sahasrara. With Om you draw your
breath upwards and with Shivay it would come down. You will experience your
breath rising in tune with the mantra.
This is the time tested Mahamantra of Siddhas, capable enough to weed out all your
inherent troubles. You commence your Dhyan facing northward direction. For Dhyan
you can adopt any Asan (sitting posture) that is convenient for you. Kambal (blanket)
is the ideal spread for the Asan. Keep your Guru’s photo in front of you and do not
forget to light a Diya (lamp). The act of keeping Guru’s photo leads to Abahan
(invoking him). Prior to going into Dhyan it is essential that you activate all your
feelings. Similarly, prayers (prarthana) is equally important as well. Pray to Lord
Shiva “Lord thank you for the Mantra Deeksha that I received. Kindly come to me and
bless me. Gurudev please grace my heart with your presence and blessings.” Initially
you can start meditating for a period of half an hour, later you can gradually increase
this time. Learn to offer thanksgiving for everything that you have. Muskurana jaroor
sikhho (Learn to Smile)……Learn to be happy…….Learn to bless….This is the correct
method for Dhyan. Dhyan is the first step in succession of total number of eleven steps
that one has to climb. You will never know at which particular step you will meet
your Shiva.

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 164

 
 
Q. Babaji, While performing Dhyan the mind is distracted by random thoughts. How to overcome
this problem?
A. You see Dhyan is like a Chakki (mill). When it moves it will smother everything in its
way. You have knots (of pent up emotions) in your body. Dhyan unties them and
irons them out. Once these knots are opened, a deluge of thoughts will emerge from
them. With such a force, that you would be swept away in the strong currents of these
thoughts. The moment it dawns upon you that you are being swept away in above
described manner, do not attempt to struggle your way out of this. Rather try and go
back to the original kriya (exercise) of Dhyan. Allow your thoughts to be released.
After some time you will notice the complete exodus of your thoughts. Now you will
reach shoonyata ki stithi (state of nothingness). In the initial period you will encounter
this flooding of your thoughts therefore don’t flinch from them. Instead tackle them in
above mentioned manner.

Q. Babaji, How far is meditation helpful in education?

A. Meditation is all the more conducive for education. Meditation strikes a perfect
balance between your left and right brains. This cerebral balance will increase your
concentration power. Present day young generation bugbear namely- anxiety and fear
will be released from your system. Meditation also enhances the memory power. I will
cite a relevant example of heightened memory power. You may be aware of Swami
Vivekananda. He was a person of great learning. Once on a foreign trip he went to
library and picked up thirty odd books. The next day he returned the books and
picked up the same number of books again. The baffled librarian enquired, “What
exactly would you do with so many books?” “I will read them the same way as I read
these” replied Swami Vivekananda pointing to the books that he had returned. The
librarian further asked whether he had read them all? Swamiji told him to pick up any
books from the lot that he had returned and open any page, when the aghast librarian
did that, Swami Vivekananda read out the entire contents of that page from his
memory. This was the wonder of Kundalini Shakti.

Q. What is “Prati Prasav Sadhana”?

A. Your present is a reflection of what you did in the past. If you are unhappy it indicates
unresolved issues in this life or the past life. One must resolve these issue so that they
do not enter into similar circumstances again and again and also so that they do not
carry the same circumstances to their next birth. This unresolved issue is what is called
Sanaskars or Sanchit Karmas by our scriptures.
The circumstances & the problems one is facing is due the stored baggage of Psychic
Impressions that one has collected in various lives and this life starting from the
mother’s womb. To release the suffering, pain or disease of present life or to attain the
higher level of spirituality & the Ultimate Truth one has to release the Sanchit Karma
or Sanaskaras or Psychic Impressions. Siddha Past Life Therapy teaches how to shed
this heavy load and bring out the inner light in the form of health happiness &
prosperity.
This is the ancient wisdom & sadhana that was practiced by Maharishis such as
Gautam Buddha and Mahavir. A small fraction of this knowledge also went to the
West from India and there they practice it as Past Life Regression. We are extremely
lucky that we have the opportunity to learn the complete wisdom of Prati Prasav
Sadhana.

Q. What is Crystal Healing ?
A. Siddha Crystal Healing is very powerful tool for deep healing and meditation with the
use of awakened Siddha Crystal. You can also connect yourself to the higher
dimensional energies instantly.
Ancient secrets from the lost continents of Lemuria and Atlantis for healing,
rejuvenation using specially empowered crystals. Crystals posses amazing
capabilities. Their effect on mental energy are as fascinating as their effects on the
physical energy. With their unique propensity to amplify, crystals amplify the body
energy as well as thoughts. They create a power and clarity in thinking. Thought, once
replenished by crystals, influences the matter more effectively. With our thoughts we
can focus energy at any desirable point. With the crystal we can use this ability for
healing. The crystal enables us to not only transfer the energy directly to someone in
our vicinity, but to mentally broadcast anywhere at any distance to cause healing
thousands of miles away. It is excellent for telepathy, the sending and receiving of
thoughts.
Crystals are a valuable tool in rediscovering the exchange system that exists between
the nature and ourselves. In this tumultuous age, they are available to help heal any
inharmonious energy within our aura and hasten our connection to our soul. Crystals
posses unimaginable potential for mankind. They are a corridor between the physical
dimension and the dimensions of the mind. We can use crystal to communicate with
minerals, plants and animals. We can also communicate with intelligence outside the
physical dimension. We can achieve an altered state of consciousness with the help of
crystals. A crystal can serve as a vehicle for reaching and operating talents and
abilities of the mind. Psychic abilities can be stimulated and amplified by the aid of
crystal. Crystal induces the metaphysical mind to direct the physical body to repair
and balance itself.
Eligibility: Shambhvi Dhyan & Healing is a must for Crystal Healing.

Q. What is Art of Dying ?

A. Have you ever wondered about Death?
The most mysterious and unavoidable event and yet we know nothing about it! What
is the phenomenon of Death? Where does one go after Death?
Is there any heaven or hell? Is there a rebirth? Is there any way one can improve the
circumstances in this birth and can change the destiny in the next birth.
Upanishads declare that through the Art of Dying one can attain self-realisation.
Buddhism also gave a lot of importance to it, they called this art Bardo. Hinduism also
laid great emphasis on the Art of Dying, We are learning the art of birthing, the ways
of living but we are afraid to learn the one that is most important - The Art of Dying.
Yama was willing to give every boon to Nachiketa, a long life, unlimited wealth and
any object he desired from this world and beyond but was very reluctant to teach him
this secret Art of Dying. By learning the Art of Dying a new realisation dawns upon us
that changes the whole perspective towards life and brings a total transformation.
You exist during this lifetime, you existed before this lifetime and you will exist after
this lifetime. What is this existence after death and before life? Babaji is revealing to
you the Art of Dying to make you a complete human being. This is a once in a lifetime
opportunity which may not come again.
Eligibility: Sadhaks those who have done Prati Prasav Sadhana are eligible for this program.

Q. What is Shambhavi Sadhana ?
A. Shambhavi is the Divine Healing Power of Shiva’s third eye. One experiences a
continuous flow of divine fire from both the eyes and third eye. Enormous heat is
generated and all the diseases and Karmic factors are burnt.
It is the highest Deeksha a seeker can ever get on a spiritual path. Healings is so quick
and powerful that within a few minutes of looking at diseased part, the patient feels
the relief. Deadliest diseases like cancer, kidney failure, heart ailments, diabetes and
arthritis is cured within a few days. This Kriya can work a protective shield and avert
any psychic attach. Besides, it also works for goal manifestations and dissolving the
Karmic factors.
Since childhood, we have grown up on a spiritual diet of stories of great saints. Saints
who could cure the deadliest of disease by a mere look. Be it Shirdi Sai Baba, Shri
Gorkhanathji, Baba Nityananda or Jesus Christ. Their miraculous healing power has
earned them many followers. Even today if you look at their photograph, you can feel
radiation emanating from their tranquil eyes.
So what is the great power ? How exactly does it heal ailments ? Has it disappeared
with the great saints or does it still exist even today ? Can common people ever dream
of getting such divine power ?
This great power is called Shambhavi, the divine healing power of Shiva. Lord Shiva
passed on his divine power to the other Siddha Masters in the lineage. One such
master was Avdhoot Baba Nityananda. He in turn passed it on to Avdhoot Baba
Shivanandji who is making the sacred power available to all of us.
The Power of Shiva’s third eye’s well known. When he opens it, so much power is
emanated that it can destroy all negativity. He gave the Shambhavi Deeksha to the
great masters to help them destroy negativity and heal ailments.
Shambhavi is the highest deeksha a seeker can get on the spiritual path. Three
extremely powerful shakthipath are given to the disciple, through which the third eye
is opened, the crown chakra expands completely as the thousand petaled lotus and the
divine Kundaline energy rises above the anand chakra. Enormous heat is generated
through these Shakthipaths. And all the diseases and karmic factors are burned during
this Shambhavi Shakthipath Deeksha.
Once a person gets Shambhavi Deeksha, he can experience a continuous flow of the
divine fire from both the eyes and the third eye. This fire is capable of dissolving all
the diseases, suffering and pain in humanity. Healing is so quick and powerful that
within a few minutes of looking at the diseased part the patient can feel the relief.
Shambhavi transforms the dead organs into live organs.
In one case in Mumbai, a lady approached Avdhoot Baba Shivanandji with a swollen
foot. She was in tremendous pain and asked Baba for healing. He made her sit in front
of him and started looking at the diseased area. Everybody in the gathering witnessed,
with a sense of awe, as the swelling started going down. And within minutes her foot
was back to normal !
In other case, Shambhavi cured a severe kidney infection even when medical science
had raised its hands in surrender. Yes the stores we heard about the great saints
happen even today. And people like you are performing these miracles.
So how exactly does Shambhavi work ? Two Powerful Shakti Kriyas and Brahmand
Kriya are used for healing. Shambhavi can heal even the deadliest of diseases.
Combined with Siddha’s Karmic Mandala, shambhavi gives excellent results.

“ Questions & Answers ” ‐‐‐ Page 167

 
 
 Shambhavi can also be used to create powerful protective shield and avert any psychic
attack. One can protect not only oneself but also house and factories etc., Even goal
manifestation results by Shambhavi are very quick. And for the self - there is not
quicker way to achieve self-realization. It takes you into deep meditation and quickly
purifies higher self and higher bodies. With Shambhavi one remains connected to the
higher dimension of light. This dimension helps a seeker to go immediately into
Turiya Avastha Instantly dissolving his karmic factors. Shambhavi is much more than
the healing session. It is a session of deepest meditation. And those who are very
blessed get a chance to attend it. With every session the person’s higher body gets
cleansed of karmic doshas. He receives blessings from the highest dimension of light
and receives bhog and moksha. The best part about Shambhavi is that the healer need
not even life his finger. He sits in a meditation pose and his eyes do the healing.
Eligibility: Anybody of any age can do this sadhana.

Q. What is Sri Vidya Sadhana ?

A. Sri Vidya Sadhana is the most sacred of all Sadhnas. Sri Vidya is the sadhana of Sri
Yantra or Sri Chakra. Goddess Lalita Tripur Sundari is the presiding deity of the Sri
Chakra. She is the bestower of “Bhog” and “Moksha”.
A Sri Vidya Sadhak is blessed with abundance. Leading a very blissful and content life
he quickly moves towards Self Realisation which is the Ultimate Reality. Sri Vidya
begins where the Quantum Physics ends. It is the science of understanding the
Microcosm and the Macrocosm.
Eligibility: Shambhvi Dhyan & Healing is a must before Sri Vidya Sadhana.

Q. Babaji, Please tell us something more interesting about Ancient Crystals.

A. Crystals are a corridor between physical dimensions and the dimensions of the mind,
they are tools which we can use for tapping the mind energy. By this we can heal all
the aspects of our life, heal our physical body, heal ourselves emotionally, increase our
intuitive abilities, gain positive energy, live a more productive and fulfilling life and
the most important, gain meditative peace. Himalayan Clear Quartz, unique with its
powerful properties. It rates a 9 on the MOHs scale, being second only to diamond
which rates a 10. Himalayan Quartz, whose composition consists of silicon and
oxygen, having chemical composition as SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide) makes one wonder that
not just the Past Civilization, even every aspect of our technology, utilizes Crystals in
Programming e.g. Washing Machine. Crystals have own Memory & Mind with thorough
deep knowledge of Powerful Ancient Healing of Body, Mind and Soul. Thus it can remember
Healing Request Instruction. The most advanced ancient civilization, the Lemurian &
the Atlantis Civilization used crystals for all life giving and healing activities. The
Lemurians were free from stress and disease, living in peace for hundreds of years.
They had developed their psychic abilities with the help of crystals. Babaji made me
experience that all crystals have consciousness which was used by the Lemurians to
do healing. It was the most effective and popular form of healing practiced back then.

 [ Sadhaks asked here about Shivirs of “Inner Strength Foundation (earlier name of ShivYog)”.
However, Babaji have farther Designed these Old Courses in much more Simplest & Easiest
Manner, in Appropriate way (within Current Shivirs of “ShivYog / AVS Mindfulness”), for
Sadhaks of Present Busy Life (when LogicMind is much more active than SurrenderMind &
rather to obey Guru’s Instruction, always Ever Ready to ask  Why ? How ? When ?… ) ] 

Many endeavours – to harness the capabilities of youth, to prepare them for being the able
future leaders shouldering responsibilities and to empower them to not only face but
overcome the challenges of the world – have materialized in highly enlightening sessions
as part of the free of cost event – Science of Success.

Need for Awakening the Youth

Youth population in the world reveals that the younger generation is actually going to
inherit, control and hold the mantle, the strings to running the world in the times to come.
So it is imperative for the future leaders, future rulers, future sustainers to be conditioned
holistically and in a way where they learn how to live happy, live a 200 percent life,
enhance their efficiency through inner awakening, become sensitive to the environmental
needs by drawing them closer to nature and how to sustain nature and self through
nature.
There is a deluge of knowledge and spiritual information out there. But that is packaged in
a way which is archaic or “uncool” as the youth would describe it. Ishan Shivanand has
resolved to mould the spiritual wisdom in a form such that it helps the modern youth
digest and they can relate to the teachings of character building and inculcate in them a
sense of profound righteousness to grow up as individuals with their roots firmly
entrenched in values which bind, build and conquer.

Mystic Healer in Boyish Flamboyance
Young at heart, wise in ways is what defines Ishan Shivanand the best. At face value, he
comes across as a robust youth full of energy and enthusiasm. The robustness can be
attributed to his learning of martial arts, commando training and rigorous practice of
various life skills to strengthen every single cell of the body under expert oversight and his
Guru and father’s supervision.
However, in him lies a world of wisdom, a reservoir of knowledge capable of leading one
on the path of merit. Attaining a roch wealth of wisdom and healing powers at a tender
age, Ishan Shivanand has now embarked on a mission to bridge the gap between the inner
and outer self which the masses have come to develop with the modern lifestyle.
“With your emotions you either create a masterpiece or create nonsense”.

LinkedIn Singapore Talk

Ishan Shivanand at the invitational meditation event to LinkedIn Singapore
April 2018 saw the monthly wellness event at LinkedIn South Asia headquarters featuring
Ishan Shivanand. The event organised under the theme “Bust-IN-g stress” with a tag line
that read Peace, Relaxation, Bliss witnessed the young spiritual master reveal the secrets
of leading a stress free life by making minor lifestyle adjustments, following a routine of
meditation, best meditative practices, approaching work, workers and self development
with a more mindful approach. The young master was accorded a rousing reception
following his flourish in March 2018 at the same place during the same monthly event. Its

Google UK Talk
Seminar on personal growth through meditation at Google UK – January 2018
Structuring Time in the Automation and Artificial Intelligence Era
Among the futuristic technologies being talked about in tech forums today, Artificial
Intelligence (AI) ranks right up there in large measure owing to the fact that it not only
makes life easy, complex tasks a breeze but does away with finite limitations and
vulnerabilities of human resource.
For instance, the best performing employee may be that no doubt, but he still remains
susceptible to illnesses, familial downturns, interpersonal feuds, divergence of opinion
and many other areas of possible conflict which may result in his absence from work or
loss of precious man hours. However, robots are impervious to such stimuli and therefore
stand in greater stead than humans, who are hemmed in by emotions, atmospherics and
the surrounding environment.
But, the scope of this discussion revolves around an aspect quite distinct from all this. For
all the pros and cons of AI and robotics, there is one facet which merits magnified
attention – how do humans plan to fill the time vacuum created by robots handling almost
all their simple and complex tasks?
This intrigue, because as I see the world shaping up, with many American shopping
centres, commercial places, malls et al being manned by robots alone, the scenario begs the
obvious query – what are we gonna do with the biggest commodity at hand in the near
future – the free time which robots create for us?
Will the curiosity and time utilization of the upcoming generations centre around only
these frivolous concerns such as when would the next Apple phone be unveiled or what
does the latest Game of Thrones episode have in store or for that matter when will the next
spectacular Infinity War by Avengers be waged for us to drench in colas, munch on
mounds of popcorns or witness our appetite for burgers progress with the progress of the
Avengers’ Globe saving heroics?
As I see it, our free time can be our best friend or our biggest enemy. So if we don’t use it,
we will end up abusing it. It thus becomes imperative for us to cultivate an unending
appetite for learning what will serve our evolutionary necessities. As all great men did in
their free time – use it to read, learn, contemplate, meditate, unearth, unravel, discover,
explore and decipher this world that much better.
It could be anything which makes us better – learning a language, sharpening our intellect,
boosting our cognition and retention, varnishing our life skills or any productive activity
which seeks to transform our consciousness.
Otherwise, en empty mind will become a devil’s workshop and it would be doom that we
will be staring at. Hobbies and leisure when combined with a fruitful purpose can be a
boon to our existence, what I identify as “edutainment”.
All spiritual souls, sages, saints, preachers, scholars, men of honour and women of
substance were weaved in a common thread of being motivated to meditate, think of out
of the box, take a path less traversed and blaze the trail to accomplish what no one had.
Most vitally, great achievers, thought leaders and innovators from time immemorial have
always utilized their time in a manner which sought to add weight to their profile, their
work skills, their potential to comprehend to their utmost and act prudently in the world
around them.

Through ShivYog, I am offering a paradigm wherein people know how their spare time
has to be put to best use. Through a set of ancient holistic practices I am deconstructing
human time management. I am imparting the wisdom of happiness and achievement so
that man can unearth the infinite potential lying dormant within him. Otherwise, in an era
of AI and machine learning, human will be the proverbial tiger, ceding existential ground
to a world reigned by robots, a word where human would be caged in the prison of his
own lethargy, lost in the mad rat race to abject ostentatiousness, unbeknownst to the
intricacies of his own potential and power, missing out on the dividends of this beautiful
human birth.

Facebook Talk
Meditation as Mind Massage and Soul Spa.
As we witness the world around we must ask ourself –
o What are we going to do with ourself in the near future ?
o How will we develop interpersonal relations when we view the world through
screens ?
o In a world filled with overbearing and often unwanted informational stimulus how
will we find peace and relaxation ?
Lifestyle choices have the power to greatly influence our efficiency and our state of mind,
It thus becomes imperative for us to cultivate a mindset of learning that will serve our
evolutionary necessities
We have the power to create a culture where through contemplation and meditation we
can periodically update our inner software to tackle our ever increasing workloads just
like we upgrade all outer software to increase efficiency.
All great beings were weaved in a common thread of being motivated to meditate, think
out of the box, take a path less traversed and blaze the trail to accomplish what no one
had.
Qualities that can easily be acquired and developed through the practice of meditation.
o Through the practice of meditation techniques learnt from the Himalayan masters we
have the power to relax the human mind.
o Through collective meditation we can create the wisdom of happiness and
achievement.
o Through the addition of meditative practices we can reap all the dividends of this
beautiful human birth.
Let us embark on this magnificent journey into the self to unlock the beautiful states of
deep relaxation that lie within us all.
Gratitude and regards. I salute you and the infinity within you.

employees of the global ride hailing app Uber in California. In his path-finding speech, he
informed the employees how external upliftment and growth was best placed with an
equal and positive evolution in the inner self as well. He articulated how ShivYog
Meditation was the spa for the soul, bringing tangible results on the body, mind and
consciousness level by harnessing the potential within.

Bowing talk
Professionals at the aerospace giant “Boeing” boarded a flight to enlightenment as
ShivYog Master Ishan Shivanand delivered a transformative discourse in November 2017
on mindful matter, explaining how meditation triggers sound sleep & adequate relaxation
which in turn help a person derive more from his routine. The value of a quality rest is all
the more in this age of information overload, gadget overuse & virtual reality emerging in
an overarching role. The event was a resounding success with the gathering meditating,
interacting & seeking a periodic rendezvous with the young mindfulness technique &
meditation master.

Mission Statement
Having aced the internal sciences to the hilt, the young master decided to lay out a precise
objective of his choosing the path less travelled. He proclaimed that he would work to not
only contribute to the upliftment of socially backward classes in the usual philanthropic
ways but help every individual at any level of social ladder climb the summit. In simpler
terms, the divine prodigy affirmed his resolve to help people realize their potential.
He thus decided that the beneficiaries of his life mission would not only be just the
downtrodden and destitute but would also comprise the common man who may have the
means to survive on the worldly front but who may be emotionally in distress, mentally in
need of refuge and spiritual at a stage of poverty.
The bigger picture of charity and compassion seen by the young master was that the entire
world is needy, the entire populace is seeking scour, in one form or the other. A rich
person may be materially well off but peace is something which he may be lacking, felt the
ingenious Ishan Shivanand ji. He thus deciphered that the need of the hour in the
contemporary times is to make a sad person happy, inspire hope in the desperate and help
a person find his way to a life of his dreams. A one size fits all approach to charity, he
found, does not apply to the modern times and that the era of thrusting the same old
charity routine and paradigms of philanthropy on everyone homogeneously was long
over. A person need not to part with his self-identity, he felt.
The feisty spiritual master still believes and swears by the dictum that charity is more than
satiating the needs of the poor. He defines true charity as helping people from all strata
and walks of life unfold their true capabilities, helping them find a way in the vast world
and funneling their need cycle towards self actualization by also teaching ways to dive
deep within.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 178

 
 
The dynamic spiritual master has conducted youth empowerment programmes in more
than 15 countries around the world, some of them being USA, Austria, South Africa,
Kenya, London, Mauritius, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, India etc.
The thousands of youth who have been enabled in these programmes have not only found
a direction in life but realized their potential practicing the modalities taught by Ishan
Shivanand ji. The seeds of virtue – pf charity, meditation and kindness sown by Ishan
Shivanand ji in the consciousness of the youth around the Globe has led to a positive
cascading effect where divinity is being spread from individual consciousness to mass
consciousness, lighting the flame of compassion, philanthropy and inclusiveness.
For these endeavors of the young master, the government of Mauritius and USA have
awarded him with special recognitions.

Making Spirituality Trendy

Often viewed as for the old, niche and believers, spirituality is a sphere of human
upliftment which doesn’t quite find favour with youngsters. However, with Ishan
Shivanand ji the case is quite different. The young spiritual master has been imparting the
wisdom of the ancient sages, saints and holy gurus, adding a dash of ‘coolness’ to it which
finds resonance in his divine musical rhythms, melodious odes to the gods, comics
highlighting the heroics of the supreme among men, animations, graphic novels all with a
message for world peace, awakening the goodness within and being the good man which
are born to be.

Let Others’ Reaction not Decide your Nature

It was an unforgiving afternoon during a merciless summer. As I talked with my colleague
while peering through a window I saw the bushes below rustling nary any breeze.
Curiosity caught the best of me as I walked down below to enquire. Within the bush I saw
a sad sight. A small puppy, not even a month old, quivering in a corner. He was a bundle
of bones with his eyes bulging out. It seemed that the mother must have been killed or the
puppy abandoned.
Whatever the case, it was a pitiable sight. The puppy barely had strength to move. I knew
the condition it was in. It would not be able to survive. Life had been cruel for it. In its
innocence, when he was to be cared for, he was all alone in its plight.
Lost and confused unable to understand the feeling of this great hunger when the stomach
starts to digest one’s own body.
As I saw the pup, a great restlessness took over me. I forgot my work. For, at that moment,
all I wanted to do was nurse him back to health. I crawled into the bush to carry the pup
back home but the pup was too innocent to understand a friend from a foe. With its milk
teeth which had not even fully grown he bit me with whatever strength he could muster. I
didn’t care. I was desperate to help him ready to be the mother which nature had taken
away from it.
Once back home, I gave it a blanket and milk. For a moment he was at peace. It was
difficult to take care as whenever I would go near with food it would cry, whenever I
would touch to comfort, it would bite. I wondered what traumas this little pup must have
been through for it had forgotten how to trust and love.
Yet I was not ready to give up.
Something in me wanted to instil the pup’s faith in humanity. May be in rescuing that
pup, I was somehow trying to resuscitate the child in me.
It took some time, some meals before the pup was a bit strong. The body was strong yet
the mind was still weak.
This continued for a week and even though the pup was yet to learn to trust me, even
though I was still being bitten and growled upon, I persevered with a dream that one day
the pup will love me.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 181

 
 
That faithful day when I went to feed the pup my son came inside for he was excited to
meet his new friend that his dad had adopted. He forgot to close the door and seeing an
opening, the fearful pup ran out.
I chased it as I knew it still didn’t know how to survive the hostilities of the wild. I chased
it for I had started to love it. Yet it ran back into the bushes. The traumas of its past made
the pup feel uncertain of its future. For, pain is capable to discredit all joy in fear of a
karmic relapse.
For hours I searched for the pup but could not find him. My soul was not ready to give up.
For I knew the pup’s innocent eyes would haunt me in my sleep if I was guilty of not
giving my best.
Then from a distance I saw a pack of crows on the road and my heart sank. I knew some
drivers frenzy to reach their destination would have made that small being invisible and
its life inconsequential.
With a heavy heart, I walked closer and saw my little friend’s lifeless body. A small trickle
of blood flowed through its nose. Still a pile of bones, yet his face as if it was smiling. It’s
tail as if any moment it would wag like it did when I got him food even though the mouth
growled.
I went back home and my son came running and asked “Dad where’s my little friend?” I
told him, “He has gone back to his mommy.” My son smiled and returned to his play.
Just then, my colleague called again, going on and on about some guy in his team who
wasn’t a team player, who would not trust the team, who would snap when someone tried
to help him, someone who was ungrateful for all that was being done for him, he talked
many things which I didn’t even remember. I didn’t even listen. My heart was still with
the pup who was now with God.
Many times when you want to help someone they will snap and judge, they may shout
and scream. That behaviour doesn’t reflect on you but it reflects on their past. Many times
one’s past burdens and blinds making one unable to envision a bright future.
Never change your behaviour based upon another’s reaction. You be good if your heart
tells you to be good. And even if from ten you manage to save one your life would be
worth it.
Bless you.

Every Seeker must do this for his Environment

There are three environments that we must learn to clean ---
1. Our mind – If our thoughts are impure we cannot reach the pinnacle
of human existence.
2. Our body – If we fill our body with toxins then all our focus will be on
managing our illnesses rather then discovering the secrets
of the universe
3. The world around us – Perhaps easiest way to achieve the above two objectives is
to create a clean and beautiful environment.
When we are surrounded by clean air and tall trees our mind and body work differently.
All the best universities in the world have ample gardens and greens for the students to be
inspired in. All the greatest, most powerful temples I have ever meditated in have the
cleanest air and most magnificent nature around it to inspire awe in the hearts of seeker.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 182

 
 
Moral is simple. We as a society will survive in cities but we can only thrive if we have
nature to enlighten us.
There are people who in the old age abandon their parents to old age homes and we call
them selfish. Why then should we be the generation who abandons nature to oblivion
through our polluting ways.
The true test of spirituality is when a seeker leaves behind more of nature then what he
inherits.
Reuse, reduce and recycle.
Bless you.

Your Company & Circle Influence Your Personality

As I awoke from my meditation in Baidyanath holy temple, Mahadev I witnessed
complete solitude, not a soul was in sight, well not human at least.
After my mediation, I was pleasantly surprised to find a mother dog with her puppies
before me. I looked at my watch to find what felt like a second was actually more then an
hour and a half. The time spent with my lord had filled me with strength. Even in the
silence I could feel all the wisdom of the world. Even in nothingness I felt surrounded by
light. My every muscle was trembling with energy. I felt like a child on the morning of his
birthday, a time when the child knows something awesome was going to happen even
though he may be oblivious to what it would be.
All the happiness I felt transformed into love towards those puppies. I started playing
with them as if they were my own. My heart was filled with gratitude towards my Guru
who had given me such profound knowledge. I was grateful towards the ancient saints
who had built such magnificent temples for me to meditate in. I was thankful to the sages
for writing great scriptures that help light my path.
As I was in such ecstasy I thought I should treat the puppies, I got up, dusted my fine
clothing, as I was always trained to be at my finest when on a date with my infinite.
Filled with gratitude love and pride, I danced all the way to a small shanty to buy some
bread and milk for the puppies. As I waited for the shopkeeper. Next to me sat three
people dressed in rags. All from different parts of the world. Smoking a questionable joint.
Smelling like distilleries.
A crowd common to the Holy lands – nomads claiming to find themselves, not Through
meditation or contemplation but by smoking all “botanical wonders” that forests have to
offer.
One of them spoke, trying to keep his bloodshot eyes open, “There is no spirituality in
India, it’s all fake, just an escape.” His peers barely understood his slurry words. In the
end there were two groups – one high on inner light, in the form of the puppies and I,
enjoying the bread and milk and there was the other group – high on external variants,
cribbing on their travel choice.
The best part in their hearts they both felt they were right.
Choose your group wisely.
Blessings.
Regards and Gratitude.

The “ Corporate Fart ” Phenomenon
Who hasn’t gorged on Burritos or Rajma Chawal or spicy biryani at night and not
regretted in the morning? So many times the sins of our night affect the routines of the
A.M. Now imagine you are going to work, you are in a lift with your colleagues and
suddenly last night’s food declares war resulting in you having an urge to release gas. You
use every muscle in your body to hold it in. It is a war against the self and time. You start
counting floors as the lift ascends. Your muscles cramp, yet with great determination you
do not let go. You pass on fake smiles to your colleagues for only you know the stress you
are in. Finally the lift stops and you dash to outside to find a secluded corner and let go
the fart you had held with great power, happy you stroll back to your cubicle with a sense
of achievement that at least you didn’t fart in front of your peers, glad that no one knows
of your turmoil and happy that you are maintaining the standards by which society may
judge you. Yet the fact is if you don’t change your eating habits sooner or later the fart will
slip out and maybe the next time what if you’re in a meeting or in a life changing
interview then what will you do?
It’s amazing how many of us live our lives in the same manner, the only difference –
instead of farts that arise out of unhealthy food, we suffer from stress arising from
unhealthy habits. We live our life holding in our frustration, anxiety, fears and anger all
day while we work, passing around fake lols and laughs while struggling to push in our
troubles only to go back home, our safe place, to let out a dangerous gaseous volley of our
emotions that can become toxic to our family and self.
Society is happy as long as we can be high functioning individuals by day. Who cares if
the same people may be alcoholics or depressed or stressed at night?
Hence, our well-being lies only in our hands. We must save ourself from the vicious fart
phenomenon. Here are four ways you can smile from the inside as well as the outside
o Work to live and not live to work
Set a time – Lay down rule that if you must work, it has to be from x hour to y hour.
it should not be twenty four hours. When the y hour comes, switch off the tech. Your
eyes can do so much more then just read emails.
o Develop a hobby
All the most successful people that I have ever met have hobbies that challenge and
stimulate artistic, athletic or cognitive capacity of our being. Read a book, color a
picture or just run a mile, it will help you befriend yourself.
o Spend time with your family
If we think we barely spend time with our families. By time I don’t mean when all
are on dinner tables with nose buried in phones but actual time when you listen and
talk, love and laugh, play and smile. No one ever remembers the viral WhatsApps
when old but they all remember the time spend with the loved ones.
o Meditate now
All inventions, all literature and all art comes from within our mind. If we spend all
time looking outwards and none going within then we may understand the past
inventions but may never create anything new. Meditation is how we understand the
true depths of our being. Meditation is how we sharpen our intellect. So come what
may, dedicate some time everyday to become the best version of yourself so that you
smile like you mean it.

How to get the most out of however long you sleep?
You will find an array of articles, listicles, click bait pieces and videos by self styled experts
life coaches, wellness counsellors and their ilk on how to sleep well, when to sleep, what is
a good time to sleep etc. However, no one understands that life is not black and white.
None of the experts consider factors like you are a
family man, you have parents to tend to,
demanding kids, siblings, a house to take care of, a
boss on your head, awaiting you to complete the
next deadline and other such routine life
challenges which take up quite large chunk of
your day time.
So today, as I heard another of these advices by a
life coach, I was inspired to share with you four
ways you can derive the maximum out of however
long you get to sleep. I am not going to tell you the
obvious – sleep for 8 hours, sleep at 10pm or get
up at 4am. I want to rather help you maximise
relaxation in whatever sleep you get. This, because
many people I met on my recent travels revealed to me of their ideal 8 hours of sleep a
day, yet feeling tired, fatigued, irritated and drowsy. Therefore, it is not about how long
you sleep but how restful and relaxed your sleep is. Quality over quantity is what I want
to say.
These suggestions will help you wake up fresh. So without much ado, here we go.
1) Heavy Meals Not Allowed : Three hours prior to your sleep, you must be done with
your last meal of the day. That meal must not be fried and oily stuff.

Miracles do Manifest when Humanity is your Religion, Compassion Your Faith

Today, as I was in my oft-visited orphanage to serve the treats to the children, for the first
time, the sister there asked me for bed sheets. I always go there out of my own will with
treats and they had never asked me for anything directly before. My schedule was such
that after the orphanage, I had to go to an old-age home and never had it happened that
someone had asked me something but left empty-handed. The locality did not have any
big markets and I had no idea from where to get bed sheets asked of me by the sister.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 185

 
 
So I just looked up and prayed to God to help me as even in an old age home which I had
to go next, the elderly were waiting for me. I got in the car and immediately on the road, I
saw a gentleman on the bike getting many bed sheets.
My prayers were heard and I gave the bike a good chase, eventually catching up with it.
He was on his way to sell his stock to the wholesaler. I got him back to the orphanage. The
most amazing thing was that he was a Muslim brother helping me serve a Christian sister.
So a trinity, transcending the barriers of religion, working together for the work of
divinity.
I thank God for I had completed the sister’s wish in minutes. She herself chose what she
desired and the man was happy to sell. Good things happen to good people. God bless the
God who blesses me.
Lesson from today’s happenstance --- All are God’s children and he provides for all.

Why I Meditate and so should You

Meditation is a rage. Meditation is “in”. Meditation is a trend. All successful recipes of
success have inculcated meditation as an ingredient. I too meditate, being born in a lineage
where meditation ran in our blood and everything that the external world is or is not
capable of giving, we could create, going within. So today I give you five solid reasons to
make meditation an essential part of your daily lifestyle.
You should meditate for these 5 tangible reasons besides the intangible ones. But let’s
leave the latter for some other day.
1. Focus more, be a Good Selector : It helps you concentrate better in a world full of
second-by-second distractions. So if the world gives us a million stimuli to act upon –
Facebook feed to WhatsApp chats, shopping discounts to money allurements.
Digressions galore. Meditation helps you make the wise decisions out of the plethora
of choices you are presented with.
2. Helps you Relax : So if we are running a bad mood, of course we have our pillows to
blame, the smartphone beeps, the TV show which triggered our sentimental centres,
the atrociously cooked dinner or whatever your excuse. However, blame game
doesn’t help, or does it? That is why you must meditate because the latter will ---
a. Help you be happy in all states and
b. Help you relax better and deeper and
c. Never let you wallow in self pity or blame game and
d. Assist you in keeping your energy levels elevated

3. Loving Family Life : If you are stressed out, the one unit which gets most affected is
your clan, you near and dear ones. You don’t want to do that. So meditate more so
that any baggage or burden you may be carrying on the emotional or mental front
may be unravelled peacefully in a welcome contrast to it being expunged by way of
you venting it out on someone close to you, someone who matters. A person who is
stress free is a boon for his family.
4. Respond rather than React : An impulsive human being will become a prisoner of
his own emotions. So any slightest of pokes and he will be rattles. Meditation helps
you avoid such a fluster. As you go deep within, you become more collected and cool
and your perspective to life becomes more phlegmatic. So moles don’t become
mountains and situations don’t affect you as much as they would have or could have
had you not integrated yourself within.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 186

 
 
 5. Never be an Emotional Fool : Let’s admit it years of soap operas and tear jerking
cinema has made us live a life of celluloid. We do get carried away in emotions and
end up undermining the flow and pace of our journey. Meditation helps you become
emotionally robust, guards you against emotional slippages and finally, meditation
helps you assess situations objectively, in a more calibrated fashion to be your best
“decision-maker” and “problem-solver”.

How to be Successful with an Impressive “ Inner Resume ”

As an individual on the journey to success, always ask yourself these three questions
1. How is my work helping the people of the world?
2. How is my work helping nature?
3. How is the work that I am doing making me a better person?
I wish to explain to you that if your work is helping people, then automatically you will be
a successful being. If your product or service or anything that you may be offering is
something that is bringing peace, happiness and convenience to people’s lives or is
instilling kindness in people’s hearts, if what you are doing is making the world a better
place, then automatically there will be a demand for what you are delivering.
Anything Mother Nature gives you, it is not a sort of inheritance from the earth. It is rather
given to you with the responsibility of a caregiver, a keeper of this beautiful planet. You
are empowered as someone who will sustain this bounty for generations to come.
You can understand this better with the analogy of a rented apartment. Whenever you
become a tenant, you don’t start peeing or excreting everywhere knowing that one day
you have to eventually exit the place. The approach is, I inhabit a clean house and I will
vacate clean premises for the next occupant. In the same manner, ask yourself all the work
that you are doing, how is it benefitting Mother Nature? Are you taking care of your
environment? Are you creating a legacy for the posterity? And finally, nay most
importantly, how is the work that I am doing making me a better person? What’s the point
in being a candle where you light up the world every day whilst dwindling yourself every
day, bit by bit. Rather it should be reverse. You brighten lives and your life too must
illuminate with richness of health, happiness and peace.
You should learn to work in such a manner that the light from candle becomes an inferno
and growing from that it becomes the light of the cosmos. You must inculcate a work ethic
which creates an opportunity to ensure that the work you do results in the expansion and
progress of your outer resume and inner resume, the resume of sustainable development,
the biodata of compassion.

What is the difference between Positivity and Over-Confidence?

Many seekers in this world are eager to know whether there is a line between positivity
and overconfidence.
I want to say that do we need a line of differentiation? Do we really need to know the line?
In fact, is there actually a line of distinction between being good & believing that you are
good?
To me it is a dubious legacy from the colonial hangover. We were slaves for the longest
time and then the mentality stay put, so much so that even after so many generations, we
are hesitant to feel confident about ourselves. We think twice about being happy about the
genuine qualities we possess. Why should there be so much of an underwhelming
perspective to our own self. We don’t need to be so harsh on ourselves.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 187

 
 
Here I suggest developing the “brand you”. Start a routine of meditation and create good
health, happiness and success for yourself.
There will be many spiritual guides who will give you dependency on concepts, some
who will give you extra knowledge, a few who will make you dependent and rare who
would give you empowerment.
Today companies are selling us anything by lending a value to any product, even if it does
not hold as much value. We need to learn from this brand culture. We have undervalued
ourselves for far too long. Even if we want to believe that we are good, our mental barriers
prevent us from embracing that belief. It is thus a need of the hour to learn that it is okay
to self praise if it boosts our confidence. It is not a sin to elevate ourselves in our own eyes.
Those aware of Lord Hanuman would know how he had forgotten his true powers and
had to be reminded who he really was. Until that reminder, he thought he was a very
ordinary person. Sounds familiar? Yes this is your story, this is our story. That is how we
have started to be. But henceforth I will urge you to start believing that you are Hanuman,
mistakingly identifying yourself as a humble monkey.

5 Reasons why everyone should learn to meditate

Meditation is taking the world by storm. Gone are the days when it used to be associated
with just highly successful people as a means of coping with stress and anxiety. In the
contemporary times, its iniquitousness is likened to that of a Smartphone today. So,
awareness of keeping ourselves fit has led to meditation becoming a health and wellness
essential in the relaxation repertoire of every individual in this day and age. But it is
interesting to ponder over why we should learn meditation.
Here are five solid incentives to learn and practice meditation.
1) A better Good Night, a better Day Life
Lets start with what matters the most to our every day energy levels. Yes thats right,
meditation helps you sleep better. By sleep better I mean creation of a sleep routine a
sleep time table and a sleep hygiene. This in turn allows our body to enter a natural
rhythm which is great for healing, recovery, well being and important for the optimal
functioning of all our body systems.
When we meditate, we are actually working on stimulating our pituitary and pineal
glands which are responsible for helping the body resonate at a uniform pace at
which it can carry all the functions with ease. A good night’s sleep triggered by the
rhythm of meditation is the perfect balm for almost all lifestyle disorders, cognitive
ailments, insomnia among many other diseases.
2) Bye Bye Stress, Hello Success
A peep into the routines of the highest rungs of society – CEOs, executives,
entrepreneurs, film stars, fitness gurus in USA and around the world – and you will
find one commonality. No points for guessing this one. Yea, all of them have made
meditation a part and parcel of their lives.
A 2005 study at Harvard Medical School found that meditation increases the
thickness of your prefrontal cortex, the area of your brain associated with attention
and self-awareness. This has not escaped the notice of the wellness coaches who have
spread the word about this to their celebrity clients.
Also, various practical studies have shown meditation even reduces employee stress
and burnout, a finding setting off corporate meditation culture, of which yours truly

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 188

 
 
 is at the forefront. A study on teachers at a school for children with severe
behavioural problems who were treated to a meditation program had less stress, less
depression, and overall lower burnout than other teachers.
World-class athletes, top managers and world-class performers, when tested, have all
shown high levels of what’s called brain integration. This means that their brains are
wired with strong connections between the different areas, they have heightened
attention, and they’re able to think quickly to deal with problems.
A study from Harvard Medical School demonstrated that meditation causes changes
in brain waves that actually improve the brain’s functionality. You can find success
in any area of your life, and just think of all the time you’ll save!
3) It takes you towards more mindful eating, relationships
So many people I have met and interacted with have told me how binge eating was
one of their tools to overcome stress. But the same people came up to me tell thank
me that meditation made them more mindful of their lifestyle choices, most of all
their dietary preferences. Body was now temple in contrast to a junk bin earlier.
My point is underpinned by the following research in which scientists at UC San
Francisco examined a group of women to investigate if meditating could prevent
overeating. The researchers didn’t instruct the following of any particular diet, but
instead taught mindful eating, and had participants meditate for thirty minutes a
day. The result? While the control group actually gained weight, the treatment
participants maintained their weights, plus lowered their stress levels. Higher
reductions in cortical and stress also showed higher reductions in abdominal fat.
Another benefit is meditating will show you the day when your partner will thank
you. By learning to better recognize your own emotions, and those of others, you’ll
more easily experience lasting harmony in your relationships.
4) It soothes pain, acts as Healing Catalyser
Tests conducted in the various meditation programmes across the world for the last
decade or so have revealed that meditation and mindfulness could significantly
improve pain symptoms and quality of life in the dedicated practitioners.
Not only this, meditation is a great reliever even for mental and emotional wounds.
Dr. Elizabeth Hoge, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School,
articulated that meditation could be therapeutic for those afflicted by generalized
anxiety disorder, a condition symptomised by hard-to-control worries, poor sleep,
and irritability.
5) If you are happy and you know it meditate
Meditation helps us gain awareness of our minds, so we can see negative thoughts
and say “those thoughts are not me.” Becoming less identified with our emotions
and thoughts helps those thoughts lose power. A Harvard study found that mind-
wandering, which often means drifting to these negative thoughts, was linked to
unhappiness. And recently, Madhav Goyal, who led a study by Johns Hopkins
researchers, said that for depression, “we found a roughly 10 to 20 percent
improvement in depressive symptoms compared to the placebo groups. This is
similar to the effects of antidepressants in similar populations.”

5 People attend Meditation Programmes

1) If you are a professional looking to scale your goals with greater focus and energy –
“My Achievement” as some say – or raise your work output levels, find peace amid

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 189

 
 
 the deadlines, embrace a more holistic approach to growth & innovation, foster a
happy & helpful work environment.
2) If you are a mother seeking to balance your worldly life & personal growth, eager to
learn the virtues required to excel at managing relationships, being ‘teenage tantrum’
child ready, discharge duties with more sincerity, handle situations and crisis with
better emotional solidity and mental strength.
3) If you are a student desirous of organising your knowledge & career goals better,
making a lifestyle investment which offers you the twin benefits of furthering your
vocational ambitions whilst empowering your existence holistically to help you
deliver your best.
4) If you are a family man but hard pressed for personal time, looking to make
relationships peaceful, loving, strong and caring. Passion, compassion, acceptance &
forgiveness are few of the many takeaways of Ishan Shivanand’s workshops.
5) If you are on a quest for self actualisation willing to learn the subtle nuances for
fulfilling your hierarchy of needs – worldly and spiritual – success, abundance,
happiness and contentment, facilitating your progress towards detoxification, peace,
evolution & perfection.

How to be at peace in your office through Meditation

Let us admit it, there is great difficulty in accepting work as worship, if not for anything
for the simple reason that we just don’t seem to be at peace with our work environment.
Let us admit it, there is great difficulty in accepting work as worship, if not for anything
for the simple reason that we just don’t seem to be at peace with our work environment.
But how wonderful it would be if we manage to make work an antonym of stress rather
than a synonym.
Not many would even think of unwinding through holistic means given the pressure
cooker environment – deadlines and more. Quire predictable. And I have factored in all
this. If you think that meditation either can’t help your performance at work or doesn’t
fit– you would be surprised at what I have for you in this article.
Over the last decade, through my own experiences and meeting new people, I observed
that meditation has progressed from being an innovation in attainment of peace to a
spiritual trend and in this day and age a necessity. Meditation is also the focus of
hundreds of scientific studies. And the lion’s share of those studies have shown incredibly
powerful emotional, spiritual, mental and even physical health benefits, so much so that
it’s been billed as a universal remedy by some.
1. Take “Awareness” halts
The first, and potentially most obvious, is to turn your break (or breaks) into mindful
breaks.
No, I am not telling you to bring out your meditation gear and play the guided
meditations I have created for you. I simply mean taking a few minutes of your break
and using that as a moment to practice mindful breathing, the most easy to do
meditation practice of all. Even a few minutes of practice has been shown to calm
frayed nerves and ease lingering tension.
Here’s how to practice Mindful Breathing :
Pay attention to the complete cycle of each in-breath and out-breath and notice if it’s
short or long, deep or shallow. Let it be deep.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 190

 
 
 Be watchful of what is happening: Our minds are like little monkeys, always
jumping around. We tend not to notice just how chaotic our mind is until we stop to
meditate for the first time. As you’re breathing, pay attention to whatever thoughts,
feelings, and sensations arise in your mind and body and simply acknowledge them.
See them there and try not to judge them as bad or good.
Go back to your breathing: Once you’ve acknowledged whatever arose, simply go
back to focusing on your breathing.
This simple practice can be done in as little as a few seconds or for the majority of
your break. It’s really up to you, but I suggest practicing for at least a few minutes if
it’s a more dedicated practice in your car or wherever you’re meditating.
2. Let the breaks be a time to be mindful
Throughout our day, w’re faced with moments where we’re either waiting or simply
traveling from one place to the next. These are perfect moments for connecting to the
source of infinite power within and recharge. This can be anything from mental
chanting of a mantra, indulging in deep breathing. or just gathering your creative
thoughts together through meditation.
3. Use meditation in communication
Communication is the cornerstone of work, whether it’s among colleagues, team
members, your boss or shareholders. Mindful communication allows you to bring
this deep awareness and intentional effort into one of the most important aspects of
workplace culture.
As opposed to some specific practice, mindful communication is about two things:
a. Mindful Speech : This is all about being more intentional with your speech. On
a basic level, it means thinking before you speak. On a deeper level, it means
paying attention to what’s going on in the conversation and responding in a
way that takes those observations into consideration.
b. Deep Listening : Deep, or mindful, listening is all about truly listening to the
person who is speaking as opposed to doing what most of us do: waiting for
our next chance to speak. This is about making the effort to care about what the
other person is expressing non-judgmentally and letting it soak in, which you
can then use to respond more skilfully with mindful speech.
4. Don’t be In a complicated relationship with technology
How you use technology in your place of work is perhaps the most interesting way
to bring meditation into the workplace.
That is why I am building the best apps to help you unwind and take a recharge
break over a plethora of meditation practices.
And, the cool part about it is, there’s so much you can do here to change how you
interact with tech and make those interactions not only healthier but also more
productive.
This mostly applies to those who work from a computer, however, they’re really
beneficial to anyone who practices them.
Watch this space as I unveil them for you in the months to come!
Work might, at first, seem like the last place for holistic unwinding of any kind.
However, meditation has been shown to be the perfect tool for making employees
more productive, effective, and healthier as a whole. And, the great part is, it’s super
easy to bring meditation into the workplace with these simple strategies and tips.

To Calcutta, with Divine Love
 Meet Thy “Mother”. Mother Who? 
I knew my father was different, I was different. But what it was that made us unique,
I did not yet understand. It was my first time in an airplane, an international Air
India flight loaded to the brim. In my deep excitement, I enquired from my father the
purpose of our travel and our destination. He smiled and said, “It is time you meet
her, our mother.” I looked at him confused. “Mother? Didn’t we leave her back
home? and our mother? Shouldn’t they be different?” Before I could ask, the plane
started to take off and I was again lost in my child-like wonder.
 Gastronomic Enlightenment
From the moment we landed, my Guru became nostalgic and started telling me the
tales of his past. He took me to “Chowrangi Road” and told me how he would go for
long jogs.
In Maidan, he showed me the location where he would practice judo. After that, he
took me to Park Street to eat Chinese at Waldorf. It was there, that for the first time
he taught me how to eat with chopsticks. I felt like a man that day. I surely was
treated like one, eating noodles with chopsticks was certainly the most grown up
thing I had ever done.
From there, we walked along Park Street, the nostalgia overflowing from within my
Guru. We ate “Fuchka (golgappa)” and munched on Jhaalmuri as he explained to me
about his adventures in the city of Calcutta.
He told me that in Kolkata people think a lot, talk a lot & eat a lot. Jokingly, he said,
“Now, like a true Bengali, we must indulge in intellectual and philosophical debate.”
I didn’t mind. The more he talked, the less he ate. That meant more of the tasty
Jhaalmuri for me.
 Mom – Meet our Mother 
The next morning, I woke up to see his mood had changed. There was laughter and
nostalgia no more, just a very serious expression. In a very deep voice, he told me,
“Son it is time to meet the mother.” I was too afraid to ask any questions. My father’s
eyes were becoming red. As we made our way through the busy streets, his emotions
seemed to be coming to the surface as if he was about to present me to someone. I
wondered who the mother was and why I had not been informed of her.
It took us a long time to reach Dakshineshwar temple. My father had completely
changed by now. He seemed to be radiating heat, his eyes were starting to go in
Shambavi Mudra. His voice had been extremely deep, like a boat cuts through the
waves towards its destination. It seemed that sea of human beings seemed to
automatically give way to us.
I was holding his hand and through his fingers, I started to feel a strange vibration
flowing towards my arm. The vibration was so strong that my hand started to
pulsate to the level of extreme physical pain. But I didn’t let go of his fingers, lest I
may lose him in the crowd.
Baba pointed to the temple saying, “Mother, we didn’t go in the temple.” It seemed
impossible. There were so many people that one couldn’t see an inch of ground,
instead just in front of the temple there was hall with many pillars. He took me to
one of the pillars and told me to sit. By now, my claustrophobia had started to kick
in. I was anxious, afraid and confused.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 192

 
 
 But that still was no reason to question my Guru’s Command. I sat down and he put
his hand on my head. In my ear, he whispered a divine chant and told me to repeat.
So much heat radiated through me that I felt each and every cell of my body was
melting. I felt like a block of ice succumbing to the noonday sun. My every emotion
left my body like life leaves after death. I could not hear any sound, I could only feel.
I could feel Goosebumps all over. Wave after wave orienting from his hands, all the
way down to the soul of my feet.
As the cells felt like melting I realized, no form was left, just the light flowing
towards me with the force of a thousand rivers. I tried to look for the source and in it
I felt a divine presence and I knew she was the mother. Not my mother but the
energy from which the whole universe takes form. She was pure, she was eternal. I
didn’t want to leave her, I felt that the objective of my life was complete.
 Beatitude and Bountiful Bliss 
Any joy I had ever felt from any of my five senses could not compare to what I felt in
that moment. It was like at the same moment the tastiest of food I can imagine but
infinite times more tasty in my mouth, it was like the most delightful breeze I could
think but infinite times more I felt in my skin, a fragrance not of this world, a sound
unheard. And I, the object of her affection as if I was the only child of the universal
mother, as if all the love of the universe. All the energy belonging to all, just for that
moment was concentrated towards me.
Wave after wave of intense energy and after each wave, I would hear a loud
booming explosion, after each explosion, peace a million times deeper than before.
Seven times, I heard the boom in total and after the seventh I was lost like a drop in
the vast ocean.
 Thus Arrived the Moment 
He tapped me on my shoulder and said the mother loves you my son. I opened my
eyes and on that exact moment, all the people ahead of me had moved in such a
manner that inside I could see the idol of goddess Kali perfectly smiling at me. It was
as if her eyes had hit me with all the mass off the galaxy.
I was out, cold & lost completely. When I opened my eyes again, the temple gates
were closed. It was dark and all the people were gone. Just me and my father. I got
up held him as tightly as I could and I cried. I howled like a baby, I don’t know why.
But I did. It was not sorrow, it was not joy. It was surrender.
That moment, when I had my head on his shoulder, was the first time I realized the
purpose of my life.
Just like there is no healthy apple, there is no sick apple, the moment you break the
apple from the tree, all you have is a dead apple; in the same manner, there is no
health nor there is disease. The moment we disconnect a man from the divine, all we
have is decay.
I realized my path. I had to help all men reconnect to the bliss, I felt that day. To
bring the joy of life once again in all of men’s life. It was my initiation, an
introduction to what a man is and through the the inner awakening what a man had
the capacity to become, like a bird on a wire, unaware of the immense electricity that
flows under its feet, we live oblivious to the power that flows around us, a power
that had touched me that day through the grace of the one who I loved the most.
And because I loved him, meant I would honour him by recreating in others, the
power he had created within me.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 193

 
 
  Calcutta or Kolkata – Unforgettable any which way 
A lot has happened since then. I have learnt much from my Guru, travelled around
for the world many times, met an uncountable number of people, yet my days in
Calcutta I cannot forget. The city had great meaning and history with my father and
an even greater history with me.
It was the city in which I gained my purpose and hence every time I return to the
city, I become the boy in that temple that night. My objectives change. This is a city
where I want to give everything that I have. This is the city I started my journey into
the unknown. My heart opens when I think of those streets. Prayers start to flow
through my lips for all those people and I realize this body may be new but some
relations are ancient.
I salute you and the God within you.
Namah Shivay.

We have to Earn our Dreams

We must understand that we deserve to be invested upon. We invest in Mega corporations
day in and day out. If I just tell you to calculate how much you spent on overpriced coffee
last year or how much on takeaway unhealthy foods or how much money just loafing
around in a mall and you will find the bill will run into thousands of dollars but if the
same amount I tell someone to invest in himself, he will become uneasy.
Forget the same amount, let us assume I say invest 100 dollars on yourself for a year and if
one says that’s too much, it just shows one feels that his own self is a bad investment, a
bad debt.
For, this person is ready to give five dollars for a coffee, he is ready to spend a couple of
hundred on a night out in town but when it comes to his own self, he starts to find reasons
to break the deal.
This is pure delusion! You look at a body and appreciate it and desire it, yet ignore how
much time or money has gone in this endeavour.
Everything requires an investment and if for one’s dreams one can’t even spend 100
dollars per year, that’s less then 2 dollars per week then maybe that man does not deserve
his dreams.
I don’t know how can such a man claim the blood of the sages who’s prime purpose in life
was to invest in oneself, after all what was Tapasya if not an investment.
A person who says he can’t invest in books or meditation or seminars or workouts is the
same man who will spend oodles on quick fixes, maybe even bling. As such a person will
gift wrap himself in brands knowing what is inside is hollow.
You either buy wrapping paper or you invest in the gift.
I just want to remind you maybe in this world constructed by marketing whose prime fuel
is to Instil self doubt, we too have learnt to doubt ourself.
Maybe somewhere we have started to think ourself as a bad debt.
But this is not true you are worth it.
The more you invest in your body the more you invest in your mind the more you invest
in your knowledge the more it will grow.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 194

 
 
Your cloths won’t make you better, your coffee won’t evolve you but your knowledge will
define you.
Your diamonds will lose value the moment you buy them, your clothes become worthless
when you wear them. It is only through the knowledge that you acquire can you become
capable to make millions. Believe in yourself. So choose the right avenues of investment.
You are born a seed give yourself the water. Invest. You deserve it.
Love you.
Bless you.

My Best Friend
Many years back when I was studying ShivYog medicine under Babaji, a very interesting
incident occurred. Why I say the incident was important because it changed my whole
world view.
As I sat there with my huge pestle, grinding away herbs, a man was brought to Babaji by
his wife, just like a farmer drags a bull against his will.
I could see clearly that the man wasn’t interested nor respected the ways of my Guru but
still his wife had somehow persuaded him to come to our door. Even before my Guru
spoke the man started in a aggressive tone, “So what type of a Guru are you? What will
you give me? Some medicine? I have eaten them all. What will you teach some mantra? I
know them all. I know all the yoga and scriptures so I do not understand how you may
help. I already have a Guru.”
I was surprised at this stranger’s ego, he was so sure of himself. He looked old so maybe
he thought he knew everything. Maybe he was fanatic towards his path or God. Maybe he
had met many saints. I do not know. Whatever the reason for his aggression, I knew
certainly that he was the reason behind the tightening of my grip on my iron pestle.
Babaji was calm, he just asked the man why has he come. The gentle wife replied my
husband has a heart problem please help. Babaji again asked this man since how long
have you been suffering? The man replied “since 20 years”.
Babaji again said, “So you have been on your path doing what you know for the last 20
years and it has not helped you. Your problem remains. So all your mantras, all your
knowledge, all your books yet you stand here with your worries and problem. You had
twenty years with your path son. Nothing happened maybe it’s time you tried my path
and let’s see the result.”
The man stood there dumbstruck, Babaji had hit the right chord. Something there and then
clicked. As he also must have thought if something had to work it would have. It’s just
basic science. A scientist thinks of a hypothesis then experiments to prove his results and if
the experiment works good if not then it is discarded. Simple.
The man then stayed with my father for many days, learnt many secrets. He came to many
shivirs. For a month he was my fathers shadow. He became an ardent ShivYogi and in
time cured himself. I still see him sometimes and remember how close his Sahasrar chakra
had come by being blessed with my iron pestle. But this man taught me a valuable lesson.
Sometimes we pick up paths which are more of a burden then benefit. We stand by our
beliefs and we fight for their honour. The gurus may take samadhi but the students fight
on the name of the blessed. At these times why not just ask oneself the question has that
path worked for you? And of not then maybe it is time to break the comfort zone and find
a Guru and a path that does.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 195

 
 
At these times, do not feel that you know for the greatness of a Guru is only if he to
forever is a student. Do not fear on reoccurrence of past events as remember a hundred
paths may be wrong but just one right path or idea has the power to change the world.
There are hundred ways on how not to do something but there is always that one way.
Always be a student to the right master. Many will never find him. For many he will
remain like a fantasy to be felt and read in books. But there are few who will experience
that chemistry. The one relation that will change your life.
I am lucky I found my master. With his teachings I have learnt there is no right no wrong,
everything exists in this universe. But the ShivYogi, instead of wasting time on the
unwanted, focuses on creation.
That is why when many weak willed may see today drowned in their pacifist
interpretations, the ShivYogi sees today as a golden age for a divine revolution and
personal transformation.
A ShivYogi practices the scientific result based method. For us, prayer, religion or
devotion are not out of culture or inherent beliefs.
For us, prayer is gratitude for the miracles we are experiencing today right now.
For us, devotion hard work and perseverance through which with our efforts we undergo
the ultimate alchemical transformation.
For us Religion is Humanity.
On many a wrong paths a man is his own worst enemy, a fact which you will see all
around you today. When almost all diseases are lifestyle disorders and all problems arise
from greed.
Yet there is one path out there for you in which you are your own best friend and a gift to
your current adoptive planet.
You owe it to yourself to find what I found.
Respect all, accept all but charity begins at home.
Love you.
Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

Saints in the System

All great civilizations, all great Kings, all great empires and all great men had great saints
to guide them. Saints would be spiritual advisers and ensured that the moral compasses
were always working in men of higher power. It was a common understanding that
learning could only teach what was right and hence must be complemented with
meditation to understand what was for the ultimate good. Without spirituality people lose
sight of who they are and their purpose towards the society.
Hence, saints were respected, kept close to men who made decisions and venerated as
teachers to all who would be nurtured to grow and add to quality of society.
Somewhere in history it changed. The saints and society became segregated. Saints were
expected to leave the towns and cities to be in forests. Whether they were chased by evil or
they left, I leave for you to decide. But this step never made sense what is the use of
spiritual practices in the forests, why would a person de-stress surrounded by nature? Is it
not as absurd as putting buckets of water on your self while standing in the rain? And also

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 196

 
 
that which is most precious, that which helps ground us, that which guides and moulds
the youth, should it not be available to all, within reach of all rather then far away in
forests.
ShivYog is a tool for the one who wishes to chisel life into a masterpiece, I used to think
God or path to God is for the uneducated. I was wrong as doctors and engineers and all
masters of their field come to learn from my Guru, they understand ShivYog more, they
value it. And I understand this – ShivYog makes the mind agile, it increases cognitive
capabilities and enhances productivity. ShivYog helps a person to relax and dive deep so
he may be rejuvenated after a hard day’s work. All qualities and attributes one requires in
the city rather than the jungle.
Through ShivYog, I see spirituality emerging from within people just like sprouts of
greens emerge after the rain. I see the saints coming back and mixing with modern world
like chocolate mixes with milk. I see the saints regaining their rightful place in society
which is next to us holding our hands rather than in some jungle holding nothing.
The saints have returned like spring returns after winter. I welcome them back and I
welcome the new world order where each child is taught ascension as well as ambition.
Where responsibility walks hand in hand with growth. Where sustainability is
synonymous to development. A system of divinity where technology may be the architect
but the lifeblood is still the wisdom of the ShivYogis. A system with saints.
Love you.
Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

You are more than you know

Once, long ago I sat with my father next to the divine mother Ganga. The holy river, with
its wild ferocity, moved like an impatient child dancing with carefree innocence, tearing
rocks and boulders like they were paper. Sounds of the water were as mystic yet
deafening as if Maa Durga’s lion was roaring right in front of me. I lay speechless and
mesmerised, witnessing wonder as countless practised timeless ancient rituals around me.
A land untouched by time, I wondered since the time of Lord ram the same scenes must
have repeated each day since time immemorial again and again like an electron going
around its nucleus since the Big Bang. A teary-eyed son saying his final goodbyes to his
fathers ashes, a hopeful mother witnessing her child getting his head shaved for the first
time. An old saint whispering his prayers as an enterprising young girl sells small wheat
balls to travellers to feed the fish. The same scene like a hit play continuing for a millennia
with the same script but different actors. Nothing had changed yet everything was
different. Thinking what I thought and In the comfort and warmth of the river that flows
through the matted hair of my Shiva, I drifted deep in my Sadhana. Maybe it was the will
of my Guru or power of the holy land that during the Sadhana I started to feel intense
heat. The experience became unbearable,
I felt as if someone had ignited each and every cell of my body. Such intense heat as if I
had been pushed into the centre of the sun. I started to scream like a madman asking for
help I called out to my Guru to save me, he looked at me and asked what was wrong and I
wailed in excruciating pain that my body was on fire. I remember him telling me at that
time, son if you are on fire then let yourself go to the flow. The comprehension of the
instructions was faint as my pain had taken me beyond, to a realm where all suggestions,

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 197

 
 
advice or commands had become incomprehensible. All I could make out from the
sentence was let go and so I let my body go into the river. As I sank in the water, each
second felt like eternity, the icy water healed me in an instant, I felt a soothing sensation
taking over me realigning my nervous system. As if in a fraction of a second I was
destroyed and rebuilt with the grace of God. And like all must awaken from a dream, the
reality of the situation dawned upon me, I was being taken by the river. The water had
become possessive of my body, the current too strong for me to fight, I realised no matter
how hard I tried I could not break-free. God knows I tried! I swam against the current till
my arms and legs started to hurt, but no matter how hard I tried, I kept drifting further.
Just when I was about to give up, I remembered my Guru’s words ‘just go with the flow’
in a flash. I knew it was impossible to swim against the current. The trick was to flow with
the current and in the process give direction to one’s heading. I started flowing with the
water and gently moved my arms just a little and each movement got me closer to land.
Within no time I found myself in waters shallow enough for me to jump out.
I learnt that day to go with the flow. None can go against nature, none can fight the
current. Many have tried and many have drowned. The flow has always been the same,
the script never changes for men may it be satyayug or kaliyug. Intelligent are those who
use the current to their own advantage. To them the flow gives power and superhuman
speed to reach where no one has gone before. These are the men for whom each tragedy
too is a motivation, the men for whom each incidence is an inspiration where disease leads
to a search for cure and sorrow leads to the doors of God, where necessity leads to
invention, where even fear leads to prevention and pain leads to growth. Men who let
even loss drive them to pinnacle of growth.
The men who let go with the flow. I cannot change what had happened I can only Accept
it go with learn from it. Let life be the teacher for whatever happens has the power to
mould you into better versions of your own self. Accept the bygones without grief and
regret for remember even the mighty tree was once a seed below someone’s boot.
Whenever on fire, remember go with the flow and you will find. Even though nothing has
changed, all will be different.
Love you, Bless you.
Ishan Shivanand.

Mind the Gap

As I dived deeper into the ocean a new and beautiful world was revealed to me. A world
with no gravity a world where I came closest to a feeling of flight and freedom. An alien
world in which I was like a planet drifting through space, so much emptiness like the
space between the galaxies and then suddenly out of nowhere a school of fish just like a
star with its young planets rotating in infinite loops oblivious to its position and function
in the vast machinery of the cosmos. I felt alive and curious as I searched the depths as
best as I could held back only by the strength of my arms and finite capacity of my lungs.
The fact was no matter how mysterious or hypnotic the aquatic depts may seem I did not
belong there for I was a being of the surface.
My curiosity may pull me down but the life running through My cells would periodically
pull me to the surface for the most important experience of them all, breath. Breath was
my sustenance as well as a connection to my base elements. It was the chord which I held
as I sank deeper and deeper, with out It, I would have disappeared into the abyss.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 198

 
 
So I knew no matter what I saw or was attracted to it was still imperative for me to go
back, even if it was for a few seconds, to breath. For then when I returned I was refreshed
and rejuvenated to explore more then before.
The same my dear is with life you are a being of highest dimension pulled to this plane by
your curiosity. This world may be wonderful and weird, you may be busy quenching your
curiosity yet do not forget to remember what is of prime importance. Just like time to time
I needed to come up to breathe and connect to my reality in the same manner man must
learn to connect with the light when ever he feels down. If there remains a sinking feeling
increasing each day like a feeling of slowly drowning as the walls close in, then this
means in exploring the depths of our life we have forsaken or forgotten chord of divinity.
God is the life running through your veins. Each time you connect with him you will find
yourself refreshed and rejuvenated to tackle all that life may throw towards you.
It is the most important activity of the day. Without his light shining in our hearts we are
lost. Find him for it is the one thing we must learn to do. Do not hold onto so much that in
an attempt to hold what’s useless, the lifelines slips through your fingers. Hold on tight to
that which is important.
Remember whenever you feel tired whenever the heart sinks, take the refreshing breath,
just close your eyes and with all heart thank your God and Guru for all the miracles that
are to manifest in your life, you will find yourself transcending to a new level of
Consciousness.
It is there where you will meet him.
It is there where I and many others will wait for you.
The space between the breaths.
The time between the thoughts.
The gap between awareness.
Fill it all with his Love and Light.
Love you.
Bless you.
Namah Shivay.
Ishan Shivanand.

I want you to read this and Share

As I walked deep in the mountains, I came across a secluded lake filled with tadpoles.
Children swimming in a small pond unaware of the vast forest around them. Their legs
not yet developed, the only possible locomotion is movement with a temporary tail.
They swam in a hurry from one corner of the pond to another, satisfied that they knew
what the world was around them.
Soon they will grow, the tail will vanish, the legs will appear, the gills will go, the
evolution complete from tadpole to frog. The amphibian will jump out to discover a new
world, new possibilities limited only by the frog’s inquisitiveness.
All tadpoles you saw in the pool will become frogs.
Alas the same cannot be said for man.
All men too are tadpoles swimming in a karmic pool but unlike the tadpole, they have
been swimming for eons, rediscovering the same territory, propelled by their tail which in

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 199

 
 
this case is ego. The tadpole drops the ego, man does not. He holds on to his finite limited
thought, has been holding onto for so long. Happy being a tadpole, unaware, ignorant.
Only a few men may dare to swim out of this pool, my father did eventually thankfully so
did I.
I love the world that I saw. You too, like me, are on the way out. But on this path, be
strong be focussed. Remember a tadpole cannot debate with a frog.
Trust me, I tried so many times to convince tadpoles. Their IQ is limited. It’s not that they
are retarded, it’s just that they are not capable of evolved thought. Don’t waste your time
on them for if you push too hard, they are not ready to come out, their ego remains. They
will perish. They have to walk their own path, make these conclusions themselves.
Hence, at times you can just pray for your brothers and sisters still in the pond. Don’t
debate with them it’s useless, don’t push them, it’s dangerous. I tried, it does not work. I
think I am teaching them to come out but in fact they are teaching me to come in.
The only thing my own journey stops as even though a frog, I must remain near the pond.
Hence I beseech you, stop debating with the tadpoles, enjoy and explore. There are so
many wonders.
I wish to say that yes the tadpole may try to guilt you of your own evolution, will even try
to make you feel uncomfortable of your own growth, saying you have changed, you have
left the pond.
But don’t let them guilt you of your own success.
Just move on, there is so much more. A whole world beyond your world.
To the tadpoles all I say is your pool is shrinking pal wake up, the sun is up, the pool will
dry up as you live. Then where will you go? the universe has given you everything
Just grow up. Hope you drop your tail. That’s all I pray for you.
And to the frogs, I say enjoy.
Life has just begun.
Bless you.
Love you.
Namah Shivay.

Find your True Happiness

Daily after my Sadhana, I feed birds and today universe gave me a lesson. Amongst the
many pigeons, ducks and aviary species I saw, a small chick with its mother. What
amazed me was that there were hundreds of birds but the chick knew who its mother was.
The mother moved around feasting on what I had to offer, picking up the juiciest morsels
almost indifferent to the chick. It was the chick who from time to time would look around
sensing the absence of his mother and at that moment the chick would break into a mad
dash towards its mother in the crowd only to relax and calm down once by her side.
The process was repeated many times and each time the chick found her.
Yes there were many beautiful birds with exceptional qualities, the pigeon could fly, the
duck could swim, the peacock was charming, the flamingo was mysterious but the chick
only wanted his mother despite her shortcomings.
What the chick truly needed could only be provided by the hen and the chick was wise
enough to know this.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 200

 
 
I wondered how wise are we?
We too are surrounded by humans, what is it that attracts us?
Do we like the chick, are aware of the difference between what we want and what we
need? or do we get attracted towards the superficial wants and let the life giving needs go
to dust?
I look at man and see such difference between the wants and the needs, we need
nutritious food but our body wants processed, artificial junk. We need a loving wife, yet
want a seductress we see on the television.
We need a good house yet want a mansion we can’t manage.
In the battle of needs and wants, the needs always takes a battering as always we compare
our simple beautiful needs with superficial and exaggerated wants.
Our family waits as we travel on campaigns to conquer the unknown.
If only we were wise like the chicks, then our wants and needs would never contradict
each other. For, then we understand the greater good and the needs merge with the wants.
If we are weak and sad today, that is only because we have strayed to far from what really
is important.
For what would we be the life of the chick without the hen?
Simplicity at the best.
o Just for today I want you to try to live your life like the little bird. Maybe this is the
key to happiness.
o Just for today, do not compare the hen with the pigeons, your family from what they
are to what they should become.
o Just for today accept those around you and love them for who they are.
o Just for today leave your smart tech and your Snapchats and your Instagrams and
your TV and just find your family in the crowd.
o Just for today hug them, praise them, love them, make them feel especial, give them
what you subconsciously seek from them.

For, this is what is real in life.

This is what may truly give you happiness.
In the crowd of pigeons your hen is waiting.
For, the ignorant ask the question who came first the chicken or the egg?
But the wise know if I exist my chicken waits for me somewhere.
All I need to do is find it, appreciate it, enjoy it.
Let’s make today special for the ones who are special for us.
For, relations should be assets and not liabilities.

Bless you.
Love you.
Namah Shivay.

No Journey lasts forever
Thousands of feet above sea level not a soul in sight in sub zero temperatures these two
dogs found me.
Without fear they approached me as if they had a deep feeling of belonging as if they
knew who I was.
They sat in front as if they knew I would share my meager meal with them, I did not have
much but whatever I did I shared with them.
We formed a bond that day as they played with me for I needed them more then they
needed me. In the frigid seclusion at least they were together and I was all alone with my
divine ambition.
It was as if they adopted me they protected me from the wild animals they shared my tent
and gave me warmth, I shared my food and played with them.
For days we were together we reached the Summit together at times we even got rim
rocked but in the end it was all fine as we descended the perilous peak.
I had not given them names for we rarely talked we used to communicate with emotions
and like a rare friendship I was just content with their company.
As the end of the snow line drew close my guardians stopped moving, that was that, I
knew they won’t follow me back home, I could not seduce them with stories of warmth
and plenty or the grandeur of the city. Nature cannot be bought or bargained with. These
souls were perfectly content where they were. They were just my guides on the mountain
plane and at that moment I knew that I did not do any favours to them by sharing my
food for they were the sharks in their own ocean, it was they who did a favour to me by
being my companions.
More then anything the beauty was in the maturity of the goodbye. No tears, no emotion
just deep gratitude for everything. I was a boy of civilization and they were my angels in
the snow.
I learnt a beautiful lesson that day from them, till the time they were with me they were
mine they were so familiar so loving but the moment the snow line ended they
transformed into a beautiful shrinking dot in the horizon as I continued my journey.
Be your best to those around you.
Your ego may say that it is you who provide for them But maybe the truth is that they are
the pillars of your sanity.
Merge hydrogen with oxygen and you get water. Hydrogen burns, oxygen facilitates the
burn but water vanquishes the burn.
I want you to take care of your hydrogen and oxygen for without them being together
there is no life just a world burning.
No journey lasts forever, all relations are temporary, all relations are important. Love all,
value all, bless all. For one day all that you will have is memories. Your parents your
children even your Guru will one day be just a memory. Good or bad? Depends on your
today. Let’s make beautiful memories.
Love you, bless you.
Namah Shiyay.
Ishan Shivanand.

Language of Love
One of my most beautiful child good memories involves my father. I was sitting alone
with my immature problems thinking on how to tackle the next day when I saw my father
walk in through the door. Like all fathers he could have given me great wisdom or Gyan
or insincere parent bhashan but he didn’t. He just sat there and started talking to me about
Wrestling. He had seen the wrestling stickers on my study table and chose to indulge me
with a childish vernacular. He could have been a parent and told me what he wanted but
he acted wise and gave me what I needed to hear.
I was happy then, the small extrinsic conversation we had melted away all my sorrows
and gave me strength.
Communication is not always about talking but feeling, the one who truly listens always
has the best things to say rather then one who speaks just to drown his own inner noise.
My father never used tough words. He always knows what to say. I have seen him talking
in punjabi to old women. I have seen him talking in Gujrati making the most serious
medical faculty roll in childish delight. In fact Every possible language one can think my
Guru has conversed with someone in that language. Maybe in a foreign land or a alien
situation when one wanted his mothers warmth he found that love in his gurus words.
For the divine, the words are always simple. They disappear in ones soul like sugar is lost
in milk.
I have witnessed all my life my Guru breaking protocols and shattering barriers of
vestigial belief.
Many Shivyogis may feel Babaji belongs to their land. His love for all makes him speak
our language.
Emulate within, his kindness.
Whenever I truly love a place even I walk my gurus path and create effort not just to
sustain minds but to fill even hearts. Few weeks ago before Nectar of Life Europe some
one requested me to record a message in German. I loved them hence for them I tried. I do
not know how I sound but I know this when long ago I sat alone as a child my fathers
words were my only shade in a scorching world.
For Shivyogis I am ready to speak any language learn any slang and carry any accent just
like my Guru did before me. For he taught me even a mighty King becomes a horse for his
little baby.
There is no ego in love.
Like stars in a sky we are all different but same.
Love you.
Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

A Donkey in Life is a Blessing in Disguise

It was goldilocks weather. It wasn’t too hot where one could hear nothing but the constant
buzzing of flies or mosquitoes and it wasn’t that cold when one questions one’s own
existence if required to leave the warmth of the bed in the morning. It was a beautiful
morning and I had the time to enjoy it as I had woken an hour before my schedule
expected.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 203

 
 
The birds were chirping, there was a gentle breeze and then it happened. Just for a
moment I want you to imagine, imagine a time when you are sitting in a car and your
favourite song comes along and the moment you are ready to groove to the chorus,
suddenly your co-passenger starts blaring the lyrics like a foghorn or imagine the time
when you were getting into the car and your driver started to sing “Just chill, chill, just
chill” as if Katrina had possessed his soul and throughout the day the ear worm kept
wiggling in your brain chewing away all sanity when you had to think about deadlines
but in your head there was a constant loop of just chill chill… just chill.
Or better yet visualize the time when you had an itch in your Mooladhar and you were
sitting in front of very important people, and all you wanted to do was itch but the
situation did not allow. Now whatever emotions come to your mind thinking these
situations multiply them with hundred that’s what I was feeling that morning.
What triggered the violent emotional volcano was nothing more then a humble jackass.
Somehow donkey had come near my quarters & started to bray as if it was paid to do so.
My pleasant morning became a horrendous nightmare.
The donkey didn’t stop, it continued for a long time. All I wanted to do was pick up a stick
and chase that jackass like a madman. If I could I would. But alas! My position did not
allow me to do so for I preach Unconditional Love.
To top it all, when I went for breakfast I saw the dumb donkey had my family divided,
some people in my family didn’t care at all as they acted high and mighty. All I could
wonder was that maybe age had given them wisdom or maybe age had them becoming
deaf. Whatever the reason, I did not relate with them. Then there were the artsy people in
my family, the art loving, chakra opening, incense smoking, philosophy preaching, garlic
hating, so called hippies in my family.
They loved the donkey they said they could hear god’s own words in that jackass. I stood
baffled by the weird, almost brain damaged gentry giving me their alien logic for how was
this braying in any way divine or godsend. I wanted to debate but each time I came up
with a sound interjection, the donkey would scream, compelling me to lose all sanity or
cognition.
Yet, praise be to God for there were a few good people still left in my family who hated
the donkey as much as I did. These were my people, the intelligent people, we sat together
each day planning and plotting how to rid the world of these God forsaken jackasses.
We debated each day for hours over what were the psychological causes of the braying
and each conversation had us howling like hyenas, united in our mania, laughing
hysterically over what fate we would confer to the jackass if we had the chance. By this
time, the donkey had made friends, with his clan growing each day.
The noise had become louder.
Sometimes in the night I would sneak out at night with the stealth of a ninja and try to
chase away the donkeys. Yet, each morning the donkeys would gather in a group, looking
at me with a mocking grin. The debates continued, the braying continued, the slip to
insanity continued till one day my father came to me and suggested meditation.
I looked at him with as much exasperation and alarm with which one looks at the traffic
police when stopped for speeding. My father calmly pointed his finger towards the
donkey. Around the donkey there were almost a thousand flies, a constant, unanimous
unsynchronized deafening buzzing noise, like a group of toddlers trying to sing a prayer

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 204

 
 
in the morning assembly, surrounded the poor donkey. Yet, instead of jumping around,
the donkey stood there in a zen like stupor. Eyes half-closed staring into the emptiness.
My father told me learn from the donkey. He is unfazed from your daily shenanigans as
well as a million flies, all because the donkey seems to be meditating. So if the donkey can
meditate why can’t you my son. It sounded logical enough to me. So that night, even I sat
staring into the emptiness like the donkey. I calmed my breath, relaxed my body and lo! I
woke up next morning happy and chirpy.
I felt like a jackass thinking on what I had been missing. It took me a few days to master
the techniques to become as proficient as the donkey was at relaxation. The family still
debated sometimes about the beast but the fact remained. The donkey still had his flies
and I still had the donkey, yet we both were calm and relaxed. But to my surprise,
meditation had calmed me in all situations. I was peaceful to all the pigs oinking, all the
bulls bullying, crows crowing. As if all these noises had silenced just for me.
The next morning I woke up happy and as I had my green tea, I looked down and the
donkey looked up. The jackass had made me less of a jackass. He had helped me become
stronger and immune to any and all that was unwanted. I went down and hugged the
donkey for I had learned my lesson. The donkey was very important in my growth for it
led me to the doors of meditation.
To all the people reading this, I suggest thank the donkeys in your life. The loud jackasses
which have made it their moral responsibility to bray in your proximity. For, each day
they will help you become better. Gratitude to all the jackasses teaching us patience and
acceptance and most of all forgiveness. If you can, go hug a donkey today.
Love you.
Bless you.

The Greatest Gift

What have you ever done for someone?
You treated your friends, you held lavish dinners, you surprised spouses, you gifted
things to your parents.
Now I ask you, why did you do this?
It’s not as if your mother won’t know if you don’t tell her how much you love her or your
son would have disowned you if you had not gifted him the latest PlayStation VR. You
make an effort as it gives you happiness. You make an effort to make a point. Point being
that you appreciate the good in your life.
Now I appreciating out of cause is good, but what is really wonderful?
When out of no reason at all someone comes to you and gives you a complement you are
most elated. When out of no occasion your spouse treats you, you are pleasantly
surprised. When out of need someone provides it is a payment where as when out of love
one surprises it is happiness.
Hence time to time we surprise just to remind that we love. When there is no need but a
want to express ones feeling.
That is what divides humans from animals, an animal is bound by biological needs yet a
human transforms with emotional wants.
So when today I say Smile! One may ask why? There is no reason. This is precisely my
point, to smile without reason is to be truly divine.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 205

 
 
Why just use our smiles as payments to conclude uncomfortable social protocols?
Today have a big heart. Surprise people. Gift them a few smiles out of generosity of your
being.
Let’s make today about surprises.
Let’s thank without cause.
Let’s laugh without jokes.
Let’s praise without expectation.
Let’s gift without occasion.
Let’s cheer without spectacle.
Let’s pray without fear.
Let’s dance without song.
Let us today become truly human.
You and I, we live for surprises, let us gift the only thing worth gifting to the world. The
gift of the self.
The greatest present gifted without ceremony or applause is what the world thirsts for
today.
Just like God gifted the planet saints and surprised humanity with wonder and awe let’s
celebrate our existence and surprise our loved ones with gratitude and appreciation.
Smile today and the world will smile with you.
Love you.
Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

A Word of Orphans
As India celebrates Children’s Day, as all great men get their pictures clicked with
someone’s kid, my question is whose kid is it anyway? When I was but a child, my father
had ten German Shepard dogs.
He had meticulously trained each one. They in no way had consciousness of dogs, as my
father would communicate with them through gestures. These canines had developed
emphatic and altruistic emotions towards humanity. Inspired by my father’s love for dogs,
one day I too picked up a puppy from the road and got him home. He was extremely cute
yet the first thing my father told me was “son he will not always remain a puppy”. I did
not know what my father meant then or maybe I just didn’t care. I wanted what he had – a
legion of faithful companions and it would start with the puppy. Each day I would come
from school and play a few minutes with Sando, a name I had chosen for the Mutt and
then I would get busy with my work and hobbies. Sando each day remained with Thapa, a
man who worked as our house help. Then came a day when many of my friends came to
visit my house.
Sando sat at Thapa’s feet. I gloated to all pointing my fingers to the dog that “That’s my
pet”. I called his name yet Sando did not respond.
I shouted his name and Sando did not respond. He was happy at Thapa’s feet. Then I
became angry and pulled his collar. Sando needed to be taught a lesson in obedience. The
poor dog started to Yelp loudly. I let him go and whimpering, he went to Thapa’s feet. I
was extremely angry as I felt the dumb dog does not realize it was I, Ishan
Shivanand, who saved his life he should bow before me. Yet he didn’t.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 206

 
 
I felt cheated and humiliated in front of my friends and society. I felt more humiliated
when I saw Sando doing tricks for Thapa. I sat sulking on the porch thinking what sort of
punishment I must dish out so the mongrel might learn his lesson and just then the car
stopped. Out came my father with his two prized canine companions. They were elegant
and beautiful and I asked my father why Sando did not obey me.
My father’s reply hurt my already wounded ego. He said, “Son, by law Sando is yours but
by love he belongs to Thapa. It’s a simple rule of Love vs Law. Law needs enforcement
whereas love none. Law is a one time incorporation whereas love is a continuous
development. Just like the gestation a fetus cannot be rushed, similarly love takes it own
sweet time.Thapa gave Sando one thing which I did not and that was time. Hence,love
overpowered law as always. For, a soul knows heart more intimately then it knows mind.
Changing the subject, in Delhi a father came to me with his child seeking blessings, for the
child did not listen to him. My sister used to show me many pictures of the father-son duo
on Instagram. Soon It was evident that apparently that was the only interaction which he
had with his son. As he worked, each day he would leave early before the son was awake.
The mother too was busy in her social life. The child was left to maids. Each day the maids
woke the child, fed him, got him ready, dropped him to school. Then the child came back,
was again fed by maids, then he would go to tuition, then he came and went to hobby
class, after that would be the TV time and finally in the evening he would see the glimpse
of his parents or maybe even not. In the night the parents were generally so exhausted
themselves that rather than taking care of the child they would indulge in their own
recreational activities like TV, alcohol or party. Weekends would be no different. Now let
me give you a mathematical problem. So each day the child spends seven hours at school,
then two hours in tuition, then an hour with friends, then unaccounted hours with his
gadgets and he is nurtured by his maids and the child sleeps for 8 hours. My question
is how much time is left for a child with his parents in a 24-hour window?
Is it not amazing that a child spends more time at school then at home yet whenever the
child does something wrong, the school calls the parents. A child studies at tuition yet
when he fails, the blame goes to the parents, yet the parents in return wash their hands off
the child’s fate with hefty fees paid to institution as they outsource his upbringing to
others.Whose child is it anyway? Why do we treat a child like a football in an Arsenal vs
Man United match, passed from one player to another. Best part is we have the audacity to
complain when the child does something wrong saying, how could my son do this? Again,
my question how is he yours? By love or by law? Did you spend time to give the child
your morals? If not, then the child is lost to a system like fishes to sea.
Many years back, when Babaji gave me the mantle of Shivanand, some people complained
as they felt Babaji was favoring me, I never hated them, just pitied them as they never
knew how it was to be loved by a father, they never knew how carefully an honest father
trains and builds his child. For a baby sitter the child is a job. This child will grow up to
understand only profit and loss. What does this destitute soul know about passion
inherited from father to son? They were somebody’s child by law yet orphans by love. I
sat with the father and son from Delhi. The son was still sitting in the lap of his maid, his
father was alien to him. The father called his son to come and take his blessings. The son
was busy with the maid, the father shouted and the son still did not come.
The father became angry and holding the child’s hand, pulled the infant towards me. As
the child cried, the father said why does this boy not understand “I, his father gave him
life, I want his best”.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 207

 
 
As I looked at the anger in the father’s eyes & the fear in the child’s, all I could remember
was Sando and Thapa.
All I can say is please adopt your child, do not let him be an orphan, whoever your God,
whichever rock you bow down to or whichever book you repeat, you are the only God
your child knows. Give him time, give him your morals, don’t let the system create
another soulless, faceless sheep. Your child deserves to know your stories, switch off the
TV and the phones. No one cares how many selfies you have with your child, instead of
taking selfies with your kid, gift the Self to him.
Today tell your child a bed time story.
Today cook for your child.
Today tell your child about your own parents.
Today tell your child about your God and Guru.
Today see the super moon with your child.
Today hold his cheeks and kiss his forehead.
Today look at his face and see how big he has grown.
Today ask your child to tell you his stories.
Today accept your child.
Today do not enforce law but spread love.
You have given them birth now give them a life. Adopt your child and let his heart not
thirst as he is orphaned while his parents live.
Let your voice be the first thing when he wakes. Your voice the last thing before he sleeps
so that one day when you finally sleep for an eternity, your voice still lingers in his heart
as a companion to help him differentiate between right and wrong.
Love you.
Bless you.
Ishan Shivanand.

The Desert Cloud

There was a time when words meant something, a Saint’s spoken word used to be a
Vardan, a king’s words would result in war and a lover’s words meant a promise.
Today words are hollow, threats are empty, promises are nothing but political agenda.
Even some Saints speak on what people would like to hear.
Pen may have been mightier than sword once, words may have led to revolutions as there
was a sincerity in communication. One had to live with one’s decisions. A hundred years
ago when one would challenge a man’s honour, one would immediately be introduced to
an unsheathed sword. Therefore, one had to carefully vet all emotions before giving words
to thought. Our strongest tool has being our words – the tool we have forgotten to use, the
tool we must now more than ever sharpen.
When I used to practice martial arts, there used to be many fighters, each boast had to be
followed with action and demonstration. Just like the princes of satyayug had to display
their prowess before each ceremony, displaying their valour and strength from a
swayambar to a coronation, even I, as a student in my father’s Gurukul, had to “put up or
shut up”. This led to a very different upbringing. I became very soft. There was no lose
talk for each word had to be met with a price. No threats were ideal, no blessings were
mere words, each promise was kept as each word needed tapasya to fuel its fire. The more
advanced my study became, the more I began to realize the imperative and unequalled

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 208

 
 
position, control plays at position of power. I remember my master would have me spar
with young novices, I knew I could break their bones easily yet I needed them to learn and
hone their skills at the same time. I realized more than them, it was a lesson for me, as I
realized it was easier to let go while throwing a punch than trying to modulate and control
one’s own power. I had to use double the strength to control my body, to not hurt my
opponent whereas to destroy, it came easy. Soon I realized this lesson had infinite
applications. Control is symbiotic to power, whereas power without control leads to
doom.
Babaji loves Sri Sri Ravishankar ji. He would always tell me to bow before the great
man. Such is the wonder of that divine being that all his power, resources and teachings
are to spread peace and love amongst humanity. Once in Mount Abu, I met the divine
Dadis of the Brahmakumari Ashram. They were the epitome of Unconditional Love
and acceptance. They stood tall as mountains amongst all men, such humbleness, such
silence.
The lesson was simple – little power leads to fear and anger. Hence, what is little must be
protected whereas infinite power leads to infinite love and compassion for only such a
being can purely unconditional love and wisdom – the one who is connected to the source.
A true Saint will never trample, will never create hate through his words for a true Saint is
like the sun, blessing and guiding all under the blue sky. Babaji wanted to teach me that
light adds to light whereas darkness subtracts light and all the real eminent saints of today
always bless and love all that is divine and saintly. Preservation needs true power. How to
know if one is with the right teacher or path? Simple, listen to the teachings. And if while
listening one feels anger or disgust towards other sects or people with other beliefs, know
that path to be false, but if after listening to one’s Guru, ones heart opens to all humans
and animals, one feels peace, then understand and acknowledge that you have found the
right path. A charlatan feeds the ego and the intellect through hollow words whereas the
wise through actions destroy the ego and open ones heart. I know in today’s cyber-world
how easy it is to abuse sitting protected behind a computer screen like a drug addict’s
current hit leads to an empty euphoria knowing the body will soon seek another high, a
deluded person sustains his destructive emotional addictions on hate. Once, only the most
revered had a voice but today anyone has the power to reach anyone through technology,
leading to the most important question – What will prevail; darkness or light? The
answer is simple, that which you support will win. It is easy to trample a flower yet to
make it grow needs great persistence. It is easy to traumatize a child yet to navigate a
child towards balanced adulthood requires patience. It’s easy to criticize someone’s
divinity, yet to create a world of brotherly love requires humility. It won’t be easy, for I
have learnt that control requires more power than unleashing. Remember at these trying
times that you are human and not a beast, a beast surrenders to its base desires whereas a
human surrenders to the wisdom of God. The real strategy is in preserving and protecting
innocence. The civility of society may be directly proportionate to the years of innocence
preserved in a child. The sooner a child loses innocence to realize the harshness of reality
the more barbaric the society and the longer innocence can be maintained, the more
civilized that society. Satyayug being that society where even at the time of death one
carries childlike wonder. Only those may enter the kingdom of heaven – the ones who
hold within a heart pure as a child’s. The harsh desert needs a cloud, a cloud being a
symbol of hope and rain. A cloud bringing respite in its shade. I pray to you, become a
desert cloud to your family and all brothers in spirituality. Choose your words carefully.
Show power through action and sustain it through self control. Who knows this solitary
cloud may end up creating a holy oasis beneath its wondrous shade.

Efflorescence of God
There is always comfort in company. The beauty and simplicity of a herd is tame a few,
the rest will follow. If hundred people are standing in a line, it is understood that one must
remain in place, irrespective of the imbecility one may find in the situation. In the end, it’s
all acceptable if many suffer the same fate.
Think about it, we live in a world where genius is an anomaly and where questioning
authority is condemned as rebellion. A world where base nature is not just acceptable but
celebrated.
There may have been a time where pursuit of knowledge may have been seen as not just
pinnacle of human existence, but the only logical endeavour worth embarking. Such a
time today seems like a fable to the wise as they witness the genesis of a new normal.
Gone are the days of prevention is better then cure. Today normal is disease management.
Once meditation led to enlightenment which was the Holy Grail whereas as today it is
stress management. Once, pleasure was experienced only as a part of existence whereas
today it may seem as the sole purpose.
Every generation defines its normal and then strives to achieve it. Comfort in numbers.
Like seeds in a sack, rubbing against each other in a small sack thinking, “this is what it
means to live”.
Yet, there are a few who do not want this normal. They want a life beyond the sack. For
some people, being a seed is just not enough. Maybe it is an evolutionary mutation. Or
maybe these people are suffering from an anachronistic hangover. Whatever the case,
these people are clairvoyant to the repetitiveness of this binding biological loop.
These are the people who reach out to the skies and bring gods to humanity.
The journey may be tough but it is beautiful.
Like all seeds need to be planted, first step is choice. One must strive to find a teacher, a
Guru that will take you and help in the transition from seed into the plant. A man with a
green thumb can easily give form to seed whereas a clown can kill the seed just as easily. If
one is lucky enough to find the right Guru then one thing is for certain and that is it is now
just a matter of time.
The next step is strength. As one is plucked from the comfort of the sack and is thrown
into the depths of earth, one may feel as if in solitary confinement. As one jumps,
disillusioned by the ways of the world, deep in meditation one will find that the world
will still continue its ways and like a child studying easily gets distracted by the laughter
of the children outside so too a disciple of light may feel longing to be accepted. At these
times, one must remember to be accepted by seeds, one must remain a seed but as the
metamorphosis of divinity takes place, the seed will burst as it continues to germinate,
forever changing its destiny leading to the only possible eventuality being that the seeds
who love him will either morph themselves into plants and the seeds for whom their own
form was far more important than love are the seeds which will drift. What is called a
filtration process.
As a seed is never afraid to lose its form so too a sadhak must not be afraid to lose some
people in the filtration process.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 210

 
 
The third step is perseverance. As a seed germinates, it witnesses itself being bombarded
by sunlight. It experiences itself being drowned in rain. So too a sadhak may find at times
the Sadhana of the Guru may become too harsh like the scorching sun or one may feel
drowned in the duties of life. Yet at these times the goal must be remembered and just like
no matter how tough the day, a man finds time to eat to sustain the body, so too a man
each day must find time to meditate to sustain the journey of the soul. A Guru is not
somebody who conforms your beliefs, he is someone who shatters them, the form of the
seed must go, it must disappear, so never let the ego, which is a mere shell, be offended by
knowledge or experience. Persevere on your path.
In time, a day will come when you will be a seed no more. A time when you will be with
your own people. No more a seed with million others in a sack but a tree with others
touching the sky. Free to feel the wind and the sun. Free to give birth to infinite more
seeds.
It starts always with choice to confirm with seeds gives happiness but to stand tall with
trees is ecstasy.
The path may be tough and to leave the only form.
This may sound as lunacy but have faith.
Have faith not in me not in God, have faith in your self. Faith in the self will give you
strength to break out of your own shell. You deserve a life of limitless possibilities for it is
the destiny of each seed to eventually become a tree.
Once even I thought I was a seed. I used to just pray for a hero and that hero was never
me. Then came my Guru and he helped me break free. He then became my hero as I
started to feel free. No longer am I seed and the miracle I finally see.
I thought he was my hero but now I am confused as the more I am with him, I look like
him and he looks like me.
Bless you.
Love you.
Namah Shivay.

Lead by Example
Someone once told me that their kids don’t listen. My reply was if that was the case, why
do big conglomerates spend millions pandering products to children. Its children to whom
fast food is marketed. Its children, to whom gadgets are marketed and it’s children, who
are seen as the biggest market for movies and music. The true statement should have been
children listen, they just don’t reciprocate to you. They listen to those who invest in new
ways to reach a young mind. They listen to those who see the young as a phenomena
turning the tide of civilization itself and not to those who see them as a pot of volatile
hormones. Children listen to the wise who want to teach rather then the hypocritical who
preach. The kids do not listen may be because we are not talking to them but in them we
talk to our own past.
Evaluating them through our mistakes and desires, measuring their actions through our
fallings. May be the lesson we need to learn is that our children are more than the sum
total of our existence. Our children are not our reflections. They are us but they are more
than us. They come from us but are not limited to our thinking. Their bodies may be
dependent but their minds are always free.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 211

 
 
We may feel that we gifted the child life but the truth remains the child was the greatest
gift presented to us by god.
If we value and appreciate this gift, we create a nicer future. For, today’s child is
tomorrow’s adult. A monkey does what a monkey sees. We learn our behaviour through
mimicking others. Imagine if we treated each member of our family as equals.
If one can’t play the flute don’t blame the flute, blame he who plays. Battles were won by
kings who were barely ten. Young prodigies create art and music before they are teens.
Choice is ours. We may treat our young like Krishna and in turn help awaken the limitless
within them or we can treat our children like fools.
The greatest tragedy in life is when a child starts to believe himself to be the name he is
called. ShivYog believes in making victory out of this so called tragedy. For, if a child must
believe we have the power to make them believe that they have the power to create their
destiny. We can make them accept they have the power to change the world. The people
who believe they can change the world are the ones who actually end up doing so.
You are taking care of your kids today but one day they will care for you. Let’s give the
child a good example.
Today’s seed is tomorrow’s tree.
Today’s cub is tomorrow’s lion.
Today’s ShivYogi is tomorrow’s Shivanand.
Love you.
Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

The Immortals
I never met my grandmother yet I know her, I know her behaviour and her desires, I
understand her emotions and attitudes. I never met my grandmother yet I found her in
my fathers stories. In these stories she comes to life and I see her speak, I see her smile as I
hear her adventures. My fathers words and my imagination takes me to her and in my
heart she lives. That which has gone has a chance to forever live in stories told for
generations. One is truly lost if their tales are forgotten.
The fabled elixir of immortality is lost to gods and Angels as it is we humans who choose
always whom to immortalise. Heroes with the grandest tales may be lost in a single
generation nary lips to whisper their exploits & foes may live a millennia through folklore.
It is we the living, we the present who hold the key to eternal life. The stories we choose to
tell will decide the survival or extinction of our past and as our own time is limited we
must be cautious to which thoughts we transform to words.
It is our duty to gift every tale to our children before our time is up. Our forefathers
deserve to live forever in the hearts and mind of our children to anchor their souls in the
storms of seduction. Their stories will act as courage, strength & discipline when these
traits are in short supply.
We are so busy writing our stories that we forget what ever that may ever happen to us
may have happened to someone else. Hence the wise take out time to learn of others to be
inspired towards right action and to be humbled by those who remained steadfast in
turmoil.
My fathers stories made me who I am today.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 212

 
 
His stories are my true wealth. A treasure which I choose to share with my loved ones. For
if I have the power to immortalise, why waste it on rumours and gossip? I choose my
immortals in my heroes.
In my tales they come to life and I hope one day when I am dust even I too shall live in the
tales of my children.
Love you.
Bless you.

Laws of the Light – Scripture for Children

Available to download free of charge in all forums from 10 December.
Shukracharya, one of the most powerful sage chose to be a guide to the Asuras whereas
Brihaspati, another great sage chose to counsel the gods. Every great man or every tyrant
has a teacher. The Guru belongs to everyone, his knowledge is like the sun but still, a
Guru must decide which gentry he wishes to guide.
How a Guru will portray himself will define what kind of a seeker will avail the
distribution of nectar. A Guru is above wants, yet if he chooses to portray himself as an
intellectual in expensive cars, talking fancy words then people who value simplicity will
be left without guidance or if the saint chooses to make himself scarce by sitting high in
the mountains then the weak will be at loss.
A Guru always faces this conundrum on how to give form to the formless, how to define
that which is infinite. Some saints use music as their tool whereas some use knowledge,
some use meditation, whereas some utilize Bhakti and each method attracts a certain type
of seeker but the fact remains the knowledge is far greater then what attracts.
Now the question that I ask myself is who am I? Who do I want to become? Who do I
want to teach? And the answer comes ---
I am a simple boy who was born and raised in a spiritual house by honest divine beings. I
believe in the good in all men. I feel pain when an animal is hurt and I find happiness in
feeding all beings. I respect and bow down to any and all that represent the almighty. I
believe that life has more to offer than just the next model of phone and I believe all
humans are born with a higher purpose.
I believe in miracles and I believe that I am not alone. There has to be more good men out
there who are just like me. The good people who want to help humanity. The optimistic,
hopeful people who when see a saint do not look for faults yet try to squeeze out the
wisdom, the crazy dreamers who imagine a utopian world and strive to make it a reality
with their kindness and efforts.
My life’s purpose is to find these good men and help them become better. I know
somewhere there’s a boy trying not to bend under peer pressure. The boy who doesn’t
want to be intoxicated nor does he derive sadistic pleasure by objectifying women as mere
trophies to be acquired. Somewhere there is a boy who believes in his inner power. The
boy who is questioning his whole belief system as he finds himself to be different. The boy
who when displays kindness or affinity towards divine is persecuted and called a bhakt or
a blind follower. I want that boy to know, you are not alone. You are a good human being
and your divine family exists. There are many people who resonate at your frequency and
that there is no need to alter, edit or hide one’s true beauty.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 213

 
 
I want to stand tall with that boy and show him the glory of meditation and self healing.
Just like my Guru found so many good people and brought them together, making them
into one big family, so too I want to connect with the divinity in all beings and give it
power when they are helpless.
I want to teach all who want to learn and I am ready to change my language and
presentation of the knowledge for benefit of all seekers. My father taught me to value
people above things hence For a musician I am ready to sing the wisdom, for a child I am
ready to write comics, for the emotional I am ready to be sensitive and for the wise I will
be intellectual.
The good in people must never be extinguished and I wish to be the keeper of that flame.
Hence I keep working in my own ways, thinking of new means to reach that child who
needs to be reassured about his divinity. In one such effort, I have made a scripture for the
young to teach them powerful ancient modalities in a palatable and pleasing way.
I have made a modern scripture titled Laws of Light for children.
I have put great effort to create this title and yes just a note to all, this title is free. A gift
from Ishan Bhaiya to your children.
Help me spread the light to create a divine collective consciousness.
Love you.
Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

Phantasmagoria – The Only Reality

I met a man today. He was young and handsome. He was with his two daughters. He
came across as a gentle and a loving father. He was humble beyond comprehension. Upon
enquiring I found he was in the Air Force. A warrior always ready for duty. Serving his
country. At the same time he was a sadhak, meaning he believed in meditation and peace.
So who was this man? Was he the warrior? Was he the gentle father? Was he the charming
man? Or was he the peaceful monk? All these traits clashing with one another, yet they
comprise of who this man was and at the same time this man had mastered all traits, being
what his life needed him to be. Perfection personified.
Every man looks and seems like a calm lake from the outside. Look closely or enter the
water and one may find hidden depths and personalities lashing out like creatures of the
deep. There is only so much of a Potemkin village that may be created by men, throw
enough incentive or give enough time and slowly but surely the veil will be lifted to reveal
the ultimate truth. The creatures of the deep will surface to create a storm of unequalled
proportions. To deny oneself these revelations is to deny oneself supreme truth.
When I was young I met many men of faith and each was extremely careful to keep them
self away from anything they felt would disturb their persona. They ran from family, they
ran from women, they ran from children, they ran from their duties, they ran from success
and prosperity. As each of this stimulus acted like bread in a lake, bringing all that was
within to the surface, that which they condemned, that which they rejected, that which
they did not understand. They would be shattered when shown a mirror. For they thought
them to be special and their reflection always gave them Away. So their answer was
simple, condemn any and all that may disturb which generally means condemning all
under the blue sky.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 214

 
 
A man who says I am just spiritual is saying that there is a lake and I believe in only its
surface.
In ShivYog, life is supreme. One must learn to master the turmoil within. One must throw
oneself in life. Only then do the creatures surface and only then they may be conquered.
Family, career, meditation and charity are the prime pillars of ShivYog. As each of these
aspects reveal our true nature and in time help us to guide and utilize it towards
enlightenment. We embrace all life lessons and instead of escape choose evolution.
Conflict means rigidity but we choose flexibility granting us growth.
In ShivYog, we accept and celebrate our each aspect. We become good householders, we
become honest citizens to our country, we become an asset to our profession, we become
the roses in the dessert. Hence a ShivYogi will never change for there is no part of self that
is hidden. All is revealed. All is utilized. All is celebrated. No escape just evolution.
Everyone around you is just throwing bait to the fishes already within. No one can make
you angry, no one can hurt you, they can only throw bait and if one holds pain within
then it can be triggered to resurface again and again.
Maintaining a facade for the sake of society is a losing game but becoming all that one is
capable, leads to inner peace. A warrior can be a monk, a monk can have a family, a saint
may be beautiful, a woman can be strong, a man may be emotional. Any man saying
otherwise is just a lake denying its own fishes, at these times just drop a few pieces of
bread and you will find yourself surprised.
I am a vegetarian, yet I have no qualms squashing mosquitoes that suck my blood. I am a
saint yet I love my wife and my family. I am peaceful yet I practice martial arts. I am
complete through my Gurus Grace.
I am Ishan Shivanand.
Love you.
Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

Is there really a Winner in a War?

A wild dog once strolled in front of the ashram. It had a big needle sticking out of its foot.
I tried to help the dog but the dog became aggressive and bit me.
I became very angry as I was the one trying to help. I would not have gained at all from
this gesture yet the dog attacked. A part of me wanted to kick the dog but another part
said forgive and help for the dog does not know.
I ended up getting rabies injections but I was happy as in my heart I had helped a beast.
Look at the life of any saint and it is filled with the saint being mauled, bullied and
battered by ignorant beasts in the form of man. One would think why would a saint with
phenomenal power not disintegrate at what seems to be his enemy. The saint continues for
it is his nature.
Why a saint? A mother can be unconditional, never being angry at her child secreting
bodily fluids on her each day, she accepts the child’s nature and continues.
A wife can be unconditional, accepting the tantrums of her overgrown man child husband.
How beautiful if men could realize who wishes to help.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 215

 
 
Someone told me humans are violent and ungrateful by nature. He said look at our close
relationships, during fights we forget all the good things and remember and react to the
worst. We don’t consider the repercussions yet a father may become violent to his own
children and a person may wish to break or harm spouse.
Countless battles and wars being waged in front lines and in courtrooms, each party a
victim in its own right but understand that no one wins in wars. Lawyers or arms dealers
or media may profit but no one wins war for war is always unfair. One is either fighting
with its superior to be crushed indiscriminately or one fights with inferiors who may use
any tactic.
Just for a moment think about Duryodhan. He was getting a Good Deal, all he had to do
was give five villages to the Pandavs and war could be averted. Yet Duryodhan could not
accept victory without war. He picked up the smallest reasons to fight. He became like the
dog trying to bite the hand that was trying to feed him. Even Lord Krishna was seen as an
enemy. An unwinnable war with an inevitable outcome being complete obliteration.
Should one go to war? Should one forgive? It is easy to war especially with the ones who
love us the most. The greatest love creates powerful hate and greatest longing is filled
with rage but remember the outcome of war. There are never victors just survivors.
The warrior within will guide one to be right, the warrior may say one has the power to
blast, the warrior guides for battle.
There is still a way, warrior is important, he should be taught, “Choose your Opponent.”
Never the beast, specially the one you were willing to help, accept to be bitten a few times.
It is easy to interpret sorrow as threat.
Never the weak for in crushing them there is no honour.
Never the warring, for the one who is already at war does not care to fight another battle,
for them war is a game.
The only worthy opponent is your own self. The fight of equals, the fight to gain.
Remember the self is feisty and slippery, the self creates countless illusions. Still to kill the
beast, you wish to help is a loss in its own self.
Always remember victory lies on side of virtuous. And virtuous only battle with the self.
All this is nice, yet personally I wish for a day when I pull the needle and the dog comes to
lick my hand. I wish for a day when the dog realizes who it’s true champion really is. I
wish that a day come when the dog stops biting the hand that caress only & only for dog.
I pray to god give me the strength to help the needy
I pray to god give me the patience to handle weak of mind
I pray to god either make me a warrior or a saint to forever end the inner turmoil.
If you choose me to be a warrior, grant me victory.
If you choose me to be a saint, grant me peace.
Grant me the Blessings of Gratitude purveyed and received.
Let my language be soft like graphite and ears be hard like diamond.
Love you.
Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

The Aftermath
If one listens to Arjuna then Krishna becomes God but if one listens to words of Shishupal
then even God becomes a crook.
One sees but a reflection of oneself before him even if the mirror is the almighty himself.
Every messiah, every angel and every Guru shines the light hence providing discomfort to
the dark. The darkness always feels itself to be right and honest, the darkness sees itself to
be a victim of the light. Just like a mosquito drinking one’s blood may be swatted without
remorse lest risk disease or death, so too the darkness has to be vanquished for there to be
light. The light is not eradicating darkness, it is in its nature to illuminate, there is no
personal vendetta towards the darkness nor there can be a coexistence hence the
discomfort in the heart of the evil. The evil will always prophesise the downfall of the
good, evil will always scream it’s the truth, preaching to the uninitiated, evil will always
want conflict.
This will never change. This is not in our control yet one thing we do control and this is
the most important thing to control.
For if you choose to control this, then you control the outcome of the battle between good
and evil within yourself.
What remains supreme is your choice.
Choose well. The divinity will always find a way. The light will always survive. For all
may perish but God remains the source, unknowingly in destroying the fruit evil
unleashes the seed within, creating millions of divine fruits.
You choose whom you wish to lend your ears. You choose with whom you wish to spend
your time. You choose your company. Your company will guide you and program you. A
divine company leading to a divine and motivated future and an evil company leading to
disastrous consequences. Both good and evil have the power to motivate you.
Both will make you feel like a victim or a victor. Krishna stands waiting now it’s our turn
to choose Arjuna or Shishupal. Choose well.
For it is the only choice that matters. Your each friend matters. Your company matters.
Rather to be alone then with a pack of wolves for alone the moon shines brightest,
surrounded by a sea of stars. Never compromise when it comes to friends. For, good men
will propel you toward the light and bad, like crabs in a tank, will be happier to pull you
down.
Shiva loves you.
God loves you.
Guru loves you.
Love them back.
Love you, Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

Breaking News!! 10000 Rupees Note to be Released Tonight

No it won’t be. This was a joke but now that I have your attention, read on.
But have you seen how attracted we are to such headlines or for that matter how many
people are guilty of reading just the headlines in the newspaper and never reading the
news in it self? Funny world we live in.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 217

 
 
The Test
Imagine if you had just three seconds to impress your crush or if you had three seconds to
study for your exam or three seconds to learn how to play an instrument.
Sounds impossible does it not? What if I told you that this was not a fantasy but a
requirement, what if I told you this is the way the world works? A world created by our
own hands.
An expert told me that in the world today, people follow something that is called the three
second law. Now what it represents is that the patience of a person does not last more then
three seconds. So imagine if you want someone’s attention for a cause or a product or lets
say likes for your page, then you have but three seconds to make an impact or else you
would be scrolled down or the channel would be changed or the post would be dismissed.
Now imagine in that three seconds. How much can the information be toned for it to be fit
into that time frame. How many times are substance and quality compromised for
presentation and appeasement.
But most of all how shallow are our causes and understanding of the natural world and
psychological motivations and human behaviour if our attention is as jittery as a musca
domestica (wonder who would Google to see what this word means).
Maybe that’s why we don’t like to get to the root cause. In India itself if one studies the
media, one will find that any event that happens, a criminal would not be just called a
criminal we would like him to be generalized to sensationalize the piece. A crime against
women would require to bash all men, regardless of who they are. Men are bad is the
message purveyed.
A crime against society would need a religious twist or love for animals would be cause to
call one to be a Bhakt or a saffron pusher.
A world where being liberal means following the crowd, even if the crowd is heading
towards the edge of a cliff.
Having all the answers is different then having a solution. To have a solution one needs
patience and understanding. One needs to mediate and only then one can take the bull by
its horn.
Otherwise if society follows three second rule then it won’t be long before we are one
second people and people are judged again by the colour of their skin or the language that
they speak or the length of their beards. I wonder if it is happening now.
All I am saying is if you spend ten minutes in a line waiting for your coffee then at least
spend ten seconds to smell and see what you are about to gulp in a second. If you spend a
minute taking pictures of your food and uploading on Instagram then take at least a few
seconds to taste what you are putting in yourself.
If you are spending hours watching an adventure series then take time out to have an
adventure of your own.
All I am saying is ---
See what you see.
Hear what you hear.
Taste what you taste.
Smell what you smell &
Feel what you feel.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 218

 
 
Why let someone else do it for you and squeeze all that beauty in three seconds?
For if it is so then it is but a shell full of nothing.
I wonder how many will read what I wrote and how many are lost in the crowd of three
seconds.
I know people like me exist who still take the time and enjoy patiently what the world
offers for god lies in the details. Like and share if you have the ultimate gift of patience
and let the world know that you are the people who have the patience to appreciate what
is to be offered.
In the end what is the sense of sensible people living as fools, when even fools have the
means to be wise.
Love you, Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

The Clown
My father taught me no work is big or small. He taught me everyone is working hard in
the best way they possibly can to provide for the people they love.
No man can claim superiority over others, over one’s profession for work is but a part of
one’s life. Some work chosen and some expected. Some work destined whereas others
gifted. He said one must respect all work and he made me understand this by assigning
me all works under the blue sky.
For months I was the sweeper in the ashram cleaning away other people’s filth. For
months I was a cook preparing food for people I didn’t even know. I have been a writer
and a teacher. I have been a Gardner and a farmer. I was a librarian and a student, a
assistant and a driver. I have even been pilot and studet of psychology. I am a father and a
husband and even a son.
In each work I did I realized the feelings are same, there is always a sense of responsibility
and a sense of duty. Each time I had people depending on me, for even a doctor may
depend on the nurse and the nurse dependent on the janitor.
Now life has made me a teacher of spirituality and meditation. I help people come close to
their god and even though I take pride and joy in my work I understand I am not better
then anyone but all are the same and all are special.
Hence, never shy from any job for that is what it really is, it is just a job, a way to complete
a task to accomplish a greater goal.
Respect all who do what you cannot or want not and be whatever you can if it helps
someone, may it be a clown to give happiness to a child.
Love you, Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

What a ShivYogi must Know

 What does ShivYog mean?
Imagine a seed. Imagine a seed in the ground. Imagine it being exposed to the
elements. What happens next? There is a wonderful transformation. A seemingly

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 219

 
 
 dead-looking seed transforms into a beautiful life-giving tree. Yes, the elements have
a role to play. Someone may even say that the tree was hidden inside the seed but the
fact remains no matter which way you put it, the seed changes. In the same manner,
men become great men with their thoughts with their actions. Some men become
great businessmen some become great saints. Every seed transforms into a tree. And
this transformation of ordinary into extraordinary is called ShivYog.
Literally, Shiva or “Shiv” means supreme consciousness and Yoga or “Yog” means
union. Imagine it like a smart phone connecting to a Wi-Fi network. Just like Wi-Fi
enables the phone to connect to all the information in the world, in the same manner
people in a state of Yoga with the supreme are enabled to do great things. ShivYog
means the path to unification with the supreme. It is a pre-religion phenomenon,
which is defined again and again by great men in the form of scriptures, difficult to
interpret, but now through the grace of His holiness Avdhoot Shivanand today’s
generation can learn this path in its truest, purest form.
 How does practicing ShivYog help people?
If a man is overweight then because of his weight he will suffer from lethargy heart
problems, high blood sugar etc. if a man starts to work upon his body and reduces
his weight, he will find that overall all his organs will start functioning properly
because our body is an ecosystem of organs.
Similarly, if there is negativity in the mind, or emotional blockages, then a person
will not just experience psychological turmoil, he will feel restless and burdened in
every aspect of his life. This is because life is also an ecosystem of our mind, thoughts
and beliefs. ShivYog works at the core. It helps people resolve the issues, which lead
to the failure in this ecosystem. One cannot say that only spiritual benefit will be
conferred through meditation because the fact remains that if you start focusing on
any aspect of human existence then all aspects become healed.
For instance, through ShivYog Sadhana, a person gets peace and relaxation. A
peaceful person will be more understanding and loving in his relationships, leading
to a happy family life. A happy state of mind will enhance a person’s productivity at
work, bringing him more fortune and with more fortune, a person can meditate
deeper without tension of the future, hence achieving more peace and now imagine
the same cycle continuing till infinity but each time with greater outcome.
So if a person asks in which ways ShivYog will help me, I will only say in every
single way.
 We would like to learn more about you. What made you interested in ShivYog?
Unlike many saints, who become interested in spirituality at some point in their lives
and then take Deeksha to be an ascetic. I was born into asceticism since I remember, I
was taught ShivYog, I ate ShivYog, breathed ShivYog. When children are learning
alphabets, I was being taught the Vedas and Upanishads. When children are busy
playing sports, I was taught Yoga and Kalri Pettu.
Interest comes when you are attracted towards something that normally doesn’t
exist. But ShivYog is my normal. I learnt there was only one objective of my life that
like my father, in time, I had to teach the secrets to the world. Children may have
many dreams – some may want to be a doctor, some may want to be an engineer but
since the day I became sentient, I had only one goal and that is to help people around
the world, learn and embrace the ancient and powerful teachings of ShivYog.
Interests mean a hobby. For me, ShivYog is my reason to live. It is my breath.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 220

 
 
 We would like to learn more about ShivYog, the organization.
ShivYog is spiritual organization, not to be confused with a religious organisation,
meaning in religion, people are said to worship a particular God or work in a
particular manner. But in ShivYog, The only thing important is belief in the supreme
and that supreme can be in any form. Through ShivYog, a person will find himself
coming closer to his God and truly experience all that is written as scriptures or told
as fables. Hence ShivYog is accepted, appreciated and celebrated by people of all
religions, nationalities and creed. In every continent, country and city, you will find
ShivYogis. A ShivYogi means a person who is serious about his evolution, his
spiritual growth and meditation. ShivYogis are good human beings who respect all
faiths and who meditate to become better. Through ShivYog, a person follows the
principle of 200% life. That means family values, success, meditation and helping
fellow human beings through selfless service.
 There are programmes that are continually being held worldwide. Please relate
more on this. What do you envision for the future?
When I was a child, as my father focused on my spiritual education, my mother
wished for me to have a formal education as well. When I went to school, I learnt
that children are being taught everything about the external world and nothing
about the internal self. I learnt that children know how to work computers, phones
and machines but don’t know how to deal with their own emotions. The result being
that today machines are being more sophisticated and humans being more broken.
As the outer world progresses, sickness becomes more complicated. Psychological
disorders become more advanced and the age of depression, anxiety and
psychosomatic disorders reduces every year. My vision is of a better world by
helping people become better. Human beings are highly evolved beings if given a
chance and that is what ShivYog does. It teaches people about the most sophisticated
machinery on the planet – our own self. My vision is that if each child is taught
meditation. If each man learns meditation, then the collective consciousness will start
to turn towards empathy, love and peace. Once there is compassion towards fellow
men, then even resources and science can be utilized for increasing the quality and
expectancy of life rather than as a tool for destruction. With each day that I work,
with each country that I travel, I learn there are more people like me who want to
evolve, who want to make the world a better place. And ShivYogis around the world
increase, I see my dream slowly turning into a reality. Hence, the urgency. I wish to
raise people’s consciousness at a pace faster than with which this age is trying to pull
it down.
 We understand that there are many projects in need. Please expand on the projects
that are currently taking place and how people can offer their assistance.
ShivYog is a very fun, yet serious path. Fun, because we believe if life must be lived,
why not live it in such a manner that we experience utmost happiness and serious
because we are very particular about certain things. We are particular about:
a) Our meditation because only through meditation a person can raise his
consciousness and gain deeper understanding of the world,
b) The wisdom of ShivYog because as we understand this wisdom, our immunity
towards negativity increases, enabling us to overcoming sorrows more easily.
And the last thing – Seva (Service). ShivYogis are very particular in efforts to
make the world better. And in these efforts, ShivYog has four main projects in

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 221

 
 
 which massive resources – monetary and human – are pumped. The first of
these is plantation: Plantation of fruit-laden trees. Second: providing food, basic
necessities to children and families around the world.
c) Adopting Oldage Homes and
d) Animal rescue and Shelter in the form of one of the biggest and most beautiful
cow shelters made by Babaji a safe haven for cows, dogs, birds, cats and many
other creatures.
ShivYog believes in self-sustenance and self-reliance and hence no donation is ever
collected for these projects. My father and I travel the globe, taking meditation
seminars where people pay fees. These seminars vary – from week long to month
long programmes – where each day my father and I spend eight to ten hours,
training these people to understand spirituality and experience the deepest levels of
meditation. Unlike the past, where a person had to climb mountains to find a Guru to
teach such secrets, Babaji and I travel and take these secrets to the masses. The paid
programmes help us generate funds with which we carry out the seva projects and
do free programmes for people who cannot afford fees. Hundreds of people
participate in these programmes and contribute so that millions of people can be
happy and learn ShivYog. So if you wish to contribute, just be a part of such a
programme near you.
Love you, Bless you, Namah Shivay.

Awakening from the Slumber of Ignorance -- A Timely Reminder

I remember I asked Babaji how could I become one with divinity and how could I get what
I wanted in life. He smiled at me, lifted me up, looked at me with his love laden eyes and
whispered, it is a secret but a one I will divulge. It is true knowledge which will change
your life. But are you ready to listen to this open secret?
With great awe and anticipation I agreed. He told me You are the Creator of your Own
Destiny. Remember this. Always bear in mind this divine truism. And when you will
truly accept and apply this success mantra in life, you will become a true Shivyogi.
And till this date I remember these powerful words of His. “I am the creator of my own
destiny”; till date these words remain the most revolutionary. Nobody I’ve come across
suggests this; rather nobody wants to hear this “simplistic” way out of mediocrity. This
simply does not sound magical enough.
And none of the problem solvers say this because if they do it would mean making you
more powerful than them and which would mean lessening their own value. It would
mean jeopardizing their own interests. It would mean closure of their shops. Finally it
would mean digging their own grave.
You becoming Creator implies you becoming God. So why would anyone want to
empower you much as to make you invincible and that too at the cost of shutting his shop
down?
Benefitting from our misfortune?
Babaji used to tell me that once there lived a doctor and a lady came to him complaining of
the cold she had. He gave her a medicine but she again came back as there was no relief.
So he again gave a medicine but she again came back saying her cold is worse. This
repeated for a few times till one day out of frustration she shouted, “Can you not cure my

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 222

 
 
cold?” And so the doctor said, “Okay take a cold shower, wear wet clothes and then stand
for two hours in the cold night”. The amazed woman confirmed whether this would cure
her cold? The doctor said that following these instructions will give her pneumonia and
then he will cure it.
I sit today and read all sorts of questions people send to me asking about how can my
Shani Dosha be remedied, how can Rahu Dosh be cured etc. And to my amazement
nobody ever asks on how I can be a better human being. Everybody has given their
steering wheel to different agents rather being accountable to their own selves. And for
this reason they cannot grow. They suffer because their Shani is adversarial and if the
third person (the problem solver) has the power, then till the time Shani is scheduled to be
there in their destiny they will suffer.
And that is why Babaji advocates putting an end to this process of consultations and
“grievance redressal”. He says “Stop people from giving you first the problem and then
the cure. You are the Creator of Your Own Destiny. So if you are suffering then it is
because of maybe some of your action. And if your action can create pain then your
action is capable of creating happiness, success and wealth too. The method is just to
reverse the process."
I remember a psychiatrist appreciated the progress his patient was making. The enraged
patient said, “What progress? Till two days ago, I was Tutankhamen (with bandages all
over my body) and now I am nobody. Spirituality is becoming nobody, becoming simple
and becoming truthful. Your ego may make you believe of your false persona but your
Guru connects you to the truth.
But this path of truth, of hard work and of tapasya is a tough one. The moment I accept I
am the creator of my destiny, then at that moment I must come out of the comfort zone
and work hard for what I wish to create. But the lazy will rather shift the blame, the lazy
will ask when will I get my husband, when will I get rich, when will my Shani be alright.
He will want to escape from reality to grab a false hope.
And that is how you will see the world functioning. Everybody likes to escape from
reality. People escape into television, some into philosophy or some just into illusions of
their emotions. Escapism seems easy. But in real life when they see there is a problem,
they find two people in front of them -- One like Babaji Who shows the path of hard work
and accomplishing goals, simple and truthful. And then there is the second kind, the
delusional kind, kind who say god talks to them & has prescribed a miracle cure for you.
We need to understand that this disease also did not appear miraculously. You were
persistent with your negativity so gradually the pain increased and if you change and
make a conscious effort, if you meditate and walk on the path of ShivYog then it will
gradually go away.
The second category of “Problem Solvers” are the people who tell you instant fixes and
associate these kind of solutions to problems “God is angry with you. Do this, do that and
God will be happy.”
Babaji says, “Remember that Shiva loves you. He is unlike you, above resentment or
anger, He is the ocean of unconditional love. He is God only because he is above the panch
vikars or five vices. So the universe is always at your side. The other type of people will
wean you away from reality. For example if there is constant fight between you and your
family, you are suffering from some dosh, you will be advised to observe five fasts (upvas)
to resolve the issues.”

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 223

 
 
This is however, not ShivYog. There is fight as you are emitting waves of quarrel and
conflict. Become a better human being, earn the love and respect of your family and learn
to respect the women of the house and they will love you. “Ek ne kahi, dusre ne mani,
dono bane Brahma Gyani.” This is ShivYog.
We need to understand that if we take a seed, put it in a box and worship it, even after a
hundred years there will be no tree. For that, you have to sow it in the ground, expose it to
the sun and the rain. Then only can it become a tree. In the same way if you take the
knowledge, the seed of Shiv yog and keep it limited only to the Pooja room, then nothing
will happen. You are escaping. You must take that knowledge and apply it as the guiding
principle of your life. Let it witness the various incidents and the proverbial storms. Only
then can ShivYog be a tree full of fruits in this life of yours. The teaching of Unconditional
Love, of seva, of never to complain but to create must become your nature. Then only we
deserve to be true Shivyogis.
ShivYog is not for Daydreamers who say I am sitting with my mouth open towards the
sky, so if God loves me, a tree will appear and a mango will fall in my mouth. And neither
is ShivYog for the complainers who whine even on trivial matters i.e. the “why-this-is-
bad-why-that-is-bad syndrome” this isn’t Happening.
And most of all, ShivYog is not for the Delusional, who go around claiming that god
talks to me and he says to tell you not to wear black or that delusional lot who pays heed
to these claims.
Babaji says as long as you are in these categories, you play a blame game, “That I am
where I am because of certain external factors like planets or doshas etc“. In other words
you are saying you are too lazy to get up and do what is needed so you are happy in this
space of illusion.
So now I exhort you to wake up sadhaks. It is time. It is time to live a two hundred
percent life, to find a balance between spirituality and the moral and ethical responsibility
towards your family and yourself. It is time to fulfil your responsibilities towards the
nature by helping any living being you can in any possible way. Even if it means giving
food to animals, birds or planting trees .
I realized it is finally time I share that secret with you which he told me long ago holding
me in his strong, loving arms. You are the creator of your own destiny so ask yourself 
Tapasya is the path of a Shivyogi and most of all simplicity. We read the Saptashati but
now Babaji says as in the Saptashati, Maa Bhagawati slays all the demons, in the same
manner I invoke the Goddess to slay all the demons of vikars (vices) in me. And I invoke
her through the path showed to me by my Guru. The Path of Truthfulness & Discipline.
Right in your Golden Book today ---
 What is the price I am willing to pay for what I want? How much time I will spend
on my development that is exercise, study etc.
 How much time I will spend on my spirituality that is the Dhyan, Saptashati & Seva?
 How will I repay to the nature through charity, plantation and other humane moves?
 How will I be a good family man by loving and respecting my family?
And if in this manner you will learn to live your life you will see automatically there is no
time for any useless talks or actions as then knowingly or unknowingly each action will
become constructive and divine.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 224

 
 
So remember the secret. Remember the Wisdom.
And to conclude higher than I began, I will need your cooperation. Please repeat after me.
I am the Creator of my own Destiny.
Lots of Blessings from Babaji and Maa.
Lots of love from me.
Namah Shivay.

Diwali Message 2015

Namah Shivay!
Why do we celebrate Diwali?
We do so because Lord, Rama the embodiment of righteousness returned home after
vanquishing the devil. The day marks the celebration of the return of the Golden Age
where compassion, love and mercy are the order of the day.
Altruism rules the roost and everyone thinks high of the other, everyone becomes
unconditional, everyone accepts, everyone forgives.
The breed of super-humans called Shivyogis who are on their journey to merging with the
infinite and thus emerging infinite are no less than veritable Ramas. They are adding a
generous dose of divinity to the collective consciousness. As disciples of an Enlightened
Saint they are like helpers in a farm. Like they cattle which helps plough the field.
The world is a beautiful land on which the farmer - Babaji - has envisioned to sow the
seeds of loving kindness and tolerance.
Let this Diwali be about spreading smiles and let the joy of the festivity reside in the joy of
giving. Let us undertake tree plantation, let us feed the hungry, let us give alms to the
needy, let us give books and school uniforms to the downtrodden, let us feed the birds
and animals.
Lets us completely abstain from crackers and bombs, not because we are scared of its side
effects but because moving up the ladder of the consciousness, our heart starts to beat for
others too. We don't take the win-lose approach where some creatures are deeply hurt by
our actions even as we jump in fascination of the glitz and razzmatazz manifesting as
dazzlement in the skies.
While whole year long we seek to sparkle our own life, let this Diwali Day, we help
enliven the life of someone else.
Just for this day let us be Positive.
Just for this day let us be Unconditional in our Love.
Just for this day let us be Forgiving in our Life Approach.
Just for this day let us Accept without Judgement.
Just for this day let us Live for Others.
Just for this day let us be the Lamp that Ignites the Spark of Hope in the Needy.
Love you.
Bless you.
Namah Shivay.
Ishan Shivanand.

The Theory of Practical
The boy played with his new toy car as his father watched the news. A wheel broke from
the car to which the boy’s reaction was loud but innocent. The boy exclaimed loudly
looking at his ill fated toy. Oh Shit!! The audible proclamation of focal matter immediately
activated the disciplinary gene in the usually dormant father. He picked up the boy,
placing him on his lap, took it upon himself to make the boy’s bum a dark shade of rouge,
like the shade on the cheeks of an overenthusiastic bride. As the father continued the
beating, he spoke words of wisdom, “Son, never say Oh Shit! Always say Oh God! Help!
The next day again the child played with his broken toy and as fate would have it, another
wheel became loose, to which again the boy’s reaction was a loud scream “Oh Shit!”
The father, again with the precision of a Swiss clock, jumped into action, put the boy on
his lap and gave another solid spanking for he thought he needed to knock some sense
into the boy. One would think beating the bum was the path to enlightenment and like a
happy meal always comes with a toy, the beating came with a message - “Son, we never
ever say “Oh Shit”, we always say “Oh God.”
The third day again the boy played with his toy. The father stared wide-eyed, waiting like
a feline stalking it’s pray. The child continued his play and as if the heavens were in a
mocking mood, again the wheel of the car broke loose. The father watched crouching,
ready to move with the slightest provocation. But the boy was now wiser. He joined his
hands and looking up, whispered, “Oh God, and lo…! Magically the wheels of the cars
came and joined to the toy.
As the child lifted the car floating mid air through divine grace, his father jumped up the
sofa and witnessing the miracle exclaimed – “Oh Shit!”
This was a joke which my friends and I shared when young. What I didn’t understand
back then was the amount of wisdom this small anecdote had in itself. What the story
shows is the single most popular style of parenting which my father used to call parroting.
Not just parenting, parroting in itself is the easiest, laziest and the most comforting
conformist approach to any discipline which life may have to offer.
Unlike the early men, today neither do we rely on tradition nor like the animals we have
instinctual knowledge within us. Today, society dooms men to follow a very dangerous
path to acquiring knowledge. A path known as conformity, where from the moment one is
born, one starts to acquire information by mimicking the crowd around, irrespective of the
fact that the crowd may be completely devoid of basic comprehension of earthly
phenomenon. The phenomenon of ‘not knowing’ creates a state of anxiety among beings
of higher consciousness. So prevent this state.
Enteric answers are created by men of unknown origin and like a vast heard of wild
beast’s transverses in the plains of Masai Mara - following but the beast in front oblivious
to the fact that the heard may be leading the being to the wild Mara river infested with
hungry crocodiles. A man too navigates through life with a set of principles and
guidelines given to him by the crowd, not knowing where these directions would lead
him. A destination which can be as diverse as enlightenment on one hand to eternal
damnation on the other my father showed me that like a parrot repeats what it hears,
incognizant to its true meaning. So, too men all around repeat ridiculous spiritual truths or
incoherent religious philosophies passed on from generations, unaware of the depth or
truth of what exactly that wisdom stands for.
Everyone’s a parrot, my father would exclaim, in his usually cheerful demeanour. A

stating the presiding blatant buffoonery in the name of godliness.
Now one would debate live and let live, let the parrots be. But one doesn’t understand
how volatile society becomes if one is left to follow the path of parroting. Let me elaborate.
There are two types of laws - the laws of science which can be verified, recreated,
understood and calculated and the laws of parroting, which generally, usually, mostly &
in fact almost always rely on blind faith. These laws do not adhere to any form of
methodology or for that matter even common sense.
If one person makes us understand the laws of gravity and another comes to that man
stating that I do not believe, one would amusingly look at the clown who refuses to grasp
simple truths. He would dismiss this incident pertaining to the dimwit of the simpleton.
For the one who’s wise knows that gravity exists regardless of one’s beliefs.
But now let us assume one is a parrot. He doesn’t fully understand the doctrine that he
preaches. If such a man is challenged, to protect his ego from defeat, he will enter a state of
cognitive dissonance, a state in which one becomes aggressive, uncomfortable and anxious
when provided counter proofs to one’s beliefs. Such a man will resort to name calling or
even bodily harm just like a parrot who in the company of another parrot starts to squawk
at a deafening decibel. You will find the strong squawking and the meek squeaking and
what the future generations are left with is nothing but a senseless, very vocal society.
Spirituality is a science and like all sciences are preceded by query so too spirituality, in
order to be sustained, it must be preceded by a simple acceptance that’s one’s
understanding is finite. All science is developed not by parroting the wrong answers but
by asking the right questions.
One who is truly divine will have the power to say I don’t know. I don’t know are the
most powerful words to be ever uttered by our species. All science must have risen from
this question. When a young man must have looked at the sun and uttered what is it, a
parrot would have told him that’s the sun god in his chariot going from one place to the
other, circling the earth. And that would have been the end of curiosity of the man. A
parroting parent murders the curiosity of his own child and with curiosity, the single
chance of enlightenment which the soul may have had. On the other hand, imagine if the
parent would have said to the child’s inquiry, “Son, I do not know, let us find the answer
together.” How beautiful it would be when both would work and one day stumble upon
the truth, a truth which carries a method, a truth that can be recreated. Science suffered,
the world was in dark ages where curiosity was condemned, where masses produced
truth in the name of religious beliefs. And science thrived when one would just simply
accept ones ignorance and would exclaim, “I don’t know.” That would be the start of
discovery. This was the essence of our true culture - when children were sent at a young
age to the Gurukuls, where they would meditate to realize their own truths, where such
an environment was created that a child would in his own capacity realize the universal
truth and not just parrot.
Such a child would grow up to be an asset to the society whereas parrots are just assets
sans the “ets” from the word.
That was the difference I noticed between the revolutionary that is my father and the
parrots. My father always challenged conformity. Whenever I would go to him asking
about other religions and complicated but common philosophies, he would always say - “I
have no idea my son. The only thing I can tell you about is the path that I have followed

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 227

 
 
and the answers that I have discovered. An answer which was a world apart from the one
dished out by the spiritual parrots for they had an answer and a view to everything.”
Maybe that’s why spirituality degraded.
You won’t go to your Gardener for medical advice then why go to a random person for
spiritual advice or for that matter to a spiritual person for economic advice. If we let the
ludicrous lead, then the radical plummet of general IQ is inevitable. A man must learn to
keep his ego aside and accept what he knows and what he doesn’t. This Information Age
gives anyone with an Internet connection the perception to be as wise as the Buddha, but
no matter how profound one may think one’s research is, the fact remains that spirituality
- like any discipline - needs self mastery, dedication and meditation for the true answers to
manifest. Reading a journal on the techniques of swimming may not make a person
aquatically able or prepared to face a raging river. In the same way, parroting the
scriptures does not prepare one to subdue the turmoil’s of one’s life. It may make one
frustrated and in a constant state of subconscious conflict as one may feel one is reading
the scripture yet no respite - a state quite visible to the next generation - till eventually it
becomes transparent to the children that the doctrine being presented to them in a
palatable platter is nothing more then a diversion to life.
My father said that the words in the scriptures were never meant to be repeated but
experienced and all words that we may read are nothing more than someone’s experience.
And the beauty about human experience is that it is subjective to the consciousness
undergoing the transformation. Serve the same dish to ten, they will interpret it to their
understanding. There can never be a universal interpretation of poetry. It must be dealt &
experienced.
There are never universal answers to anything. Any true subject will always evolve with
innovation and time. Like medicine evolved, science evolved, in the same manner what
was divine yesterday has become science today. And as the only thing permanent is
change, so too true spirituality has evolved. Parents must take example from how I was
raised and how I will raise my son. Parents must learn to drop their egos and understand
the truest universal truth is the one that comes from experience. When a child feels
curiosity, it must not be plucked but nourished. Answers must not be presented but
realized.
One must take pride, not that he knows all the answers but because he is built in such a
manner that he seeks the answers because even if you know all the answers, it is like
knowing the equation. Just be knowing that E=MC2 or just by knowing the Pythagoras
theorem, doesn’t make a person mathematician. you must know how to solve the equation
to get the answer on his own. In the same way one might have read the scriptures, but it
counts for nothing. You must know how to solve the scriptures, how to come to that
conclusion on yourself. And that is why ShivYogi is a person whose truly curious about
life, spirituality, divinity and God.
What if both parents would meditate and find the answers with their children. Imagine
how divine that family would be, how peaceful. For it is not parroting. Hence, there is no
need to defend. Such a family realizes its truth and remains in this state of constant
evolution. Imagine a family raising supermen where various thoughts and ideas are
openly discussed and inner experiences invoked through mediation. For such a family
realizes that the source of all knowledge is not a external deity but the internal divinity
and the purpose of life is not to please some being in the heavens but to awaken the divine
potential that lies dormant in all beings, beings which in themselves are made of star stuff

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 228

 
 
and are the seeds to the infinite universe.
One can find God only when one first realizes the need to find. If all answers already are
memorized and presented to inflate the ego, then why would such a mind seek? A mind
which has the taste of divine will never waste itself to convince the uninitiated for it would
be preoccupied with the eternal bliss of the supreme truth.
I am a Shivanand and thus I accept, I know much yet there is a lot to learn. I am a
Shivanand and like my father, I gladly accept what I do not know and what I do know, I
work consistently to refine. Maybe that is why my father is never afraid. He openly invites
doctors and scientists and seekers to come and meditate with him.
He calls so that what he knows, he does not pass in words but in experience. Maybe that’s
why they call him the father of Indian healing and not the parrot of healing as he never
speaks what he doesn’t know and what he speaks is that which is mastered in a lifetime.
Following from this, if you consider yourself spiritual, I give a simple test to determine
your divinity.
Whenever in a conversation of God, to the most mundane of queries you feel obligated to
give most profound answers. You feel that’s it’s your responsibility to convert all those
who don’t believe. Understand you are officially a parrot. If your knowledge just gives
you peace and you are driven to meditate by your experiences. When what drives you is
nothing more then chasing the high experienced by your Guru’s Deeksha, know this you
are the one truly the sadhak of your Guru. Know this - it is you who will inherit the heart
and soul of the divine. Know this that at that time when you accept you don’t know you
have opened up to a wonderful world of opportunity wonder and awe. The time when
you are my brother.
Bless you.

An Incomplete Syllabus
When I was young, I read about the Mughal empire, the British empire and the two
World Wars as that was my history syllabus. Then I grew up and travelled around the
world. In Macedonian chronicles, I found Alexander’s historians praising the great
saints, none greater than Kalanos or Kalan Maharishi which inspired and healed their
monarch.
A Traveller’s Learning Trails
When I travelled to south-east, I found the greatest temple complexes right out of my
fantasies, which remain as but a flicker yet grander then anything one can consciously
conceive.
I travelled to the remotest parts of the world and found temples constructed in a
manner defying the laws of physics, in temperatures so extreme that would
degenerate the body at a cellular level.
And I wondered about these omitted adventurers, explorers and heroes - what
odysseys they must have had. Theirs was a history I would have loved to learn, maybe
even celebrate. But alas this would never be, as history is written by the victors,
twisted, manipulated and manufactured, easily malleable with synthetic syllables - all
to fulfil some lunatic’s ballyhoo.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 229

 
 
Generational “Leap-Hole”
And as I walk amongst my gravely misinformed and brainwashed generation, all in
their hypnotic subterfuge, each one with their own version of bedazzled chronological
events with colossal plot holes, challenging the very basics of common sense, I cannot
but stumble to a grim realization that alas the heroes are gone.
But this leads me to a grander realization why is there such desperation to defend
one’s version of history? Why need such heroes? Can it be that looking at the present,
one becomes so hopeless that the only solace is an escape to a improbable but
magnificent past.
Can it be that the utter failure of one’s choices be redeemed by some form of
geographic or genetic association to a mythic legend. If so, then maybe the scriptures
are right.
Heroes of History - Potency Still a Mystery
Man lives in maya (illusion) but here we create our own illusion, confusion and maybe
even concussion, banging our head on walls trying to find meaning in myth and life.
Now, imagine a world without fanatical worshippers of synthetic heroes, a world
where logic leads homo sapiens to an elementary realization that maybe just the
history that we swear by is nothing but a form of primitive yet ‘affective’ marketing,
that somewhere in the vault of the chronological chronicles, maybe a clown broke in
and led us to be part of a practical joke that will last eons, a joke whose punchline
states that someday someone will come and save you, that heroes had not a superior
strategy, nor an intellectual advantage, neither scientific know how, but just a
mocking celestial entity atop Olympus to steer him to victory. Now That’s what I call a
joke.
We Learn from History that we should Revise History
And just like a comedian becomes cognizant to the gradual depleting humour to his
recurring yet number one joke, he must one day shelf it lest he lose his audience. We
too must retire our version of histories and heroes as that is the day we will realize
only one remains and that is us.
The only true hero which the earth will ever see is the one that you may become. And
the fact remains that one is either the victim, crying out for the saviour or one becomes
the saviour through the blessings of the divine gift which resides in one’s cranium.
Hero of “Actions”
Only with this realization can humanity truly save itself that no one is coming, no one
came, the heroes rose from amongst us and the heroes we need will awaken in the
crowd that you see surrounding you.
Will you be one of them is a fate that remains for you to decide and to wake up to.
History is dead. Only the present holds meaning and purpose. The best part is that
only the present is in our hands. How we use it - either defending our mythic tails,
condemning all with different views or rising to the need of the hour and becoming a
hero, not of words but actions - will decide the fate of mankind.
It is time to give ourselves to the present, to the world to create.
The earth needs heroes, not to cross the oceans but purify them, not to burn forests but
to protect them, not to hunt animals, but save them. Heroes, not in heaven, but on
earth for maybe this is all that our species has. Heroes that not quote what their
ancestors have done but who ask what can we do for Mother Earth and our fellow

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 230

 
 
 man, heroes who do not wait to be saved by idols of history but who become the
saviours to be idolized by the history of the future.
After all that’s what I heard once long ago, maybe the books do have some sense in
them after all.
God helps those who help themselves.
Bless you.

A “Clean” Surrender
More than a 1000 men had just finished the Bhandara. All who came took with them
supreme contentment & had left behind a gigantic mess. Labour was cheap, hundred
rupees per hour to be precise. In about a thousand rupees, all evidence of the grand
event could have been cleared in a matter of hours. But when Babaji was asked if a
workforce could be hired, his reply would be a subtle smile accompanied with a call of
my name in his booming voice Ishan!
Whenever I heard that voice, I knew I had to abandon all I was doing to answer and
accommodate any and all requests of my father and my Guru. I went to him, touched
his feet and enquired why I was summoned. He showed me the field filled with
garbage and in front of everyone said my son will clean all this.
That was it. No questioned asked, I got down to work, no thought, no logic. It was a
matter of pride for I was raised to work hard. Perseverance was in my DNA. I knew if
my Guru had told me to do something it would help in strengthening me, in making
me a better man and like the monk in the movie 36th Chamber of Shaolin, I would
fulfil any task assigned to me. It took me almost 16 hours but it was a job well done.
Open to be Helped
This was one of the many tasks he would often assign me. It was no big deal. A simple
understanding - I shall reap what I sow. I had a goal in my life and to reach it, my
Guru was going to help for he knew the path and I was willing to walk, no matter
how perilous the terrain.
When I would go to him, I would be blank & malleable like the clay in the hands of
the potter and he would mould into what I needed to become.
KYC - Know Your Creator
A simple relationship, like between a sailor and the captain of a ship, the wise captain
steered the ship to its destination while the sailor made sure all was done to help the
captain keep the ship in its course. Best part was I was becoming a better person each
day. I liked what I saw in the mirror. I adored the principles with which I started to
perceive the world, but most importantly there was a feeling of achievement each time
I succeeded in my spiritual or worldly endeavors and in the time of victory, gratitude
would pass through my lips for my guardian angel.
As I kept growing, I would often wonder why was spirituality portrayed to be such a
tedious task as my journey had always been smooth and progressive. All one had to
do was find a master to captain his ship, I felt.
Not my Circus, not my Monkeys (Ver-1)
The query remained, till one day I met a man. He said he was looking for a Guru. He
said he had many queries but I realized they were statements. Apparently this man

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 231

 
 
 despised his wife, loathed her very basic nature, conspired against all that was the
female form. The best part was, as he continued to babble out these statements, he
looked at me expecting sympathy, solace and understanding. He thought that all
religious people would agree how women are inferior and need to be kept in place.
Maybe but I am not religious, I am spiritual.
I refused to agree with him , even though he was a man of stature. My morals were
simple, experiential.
I have always respected the women in my life & in turn they have respected me. The
best part - this wasn’t even part of my upbringing but this was common sense. He
should have done his research. In his head, I was a loner fanatic, dishing out advice,
comments and statements for everything under the blue sky. He thought that if a
personality like mine would agree about how worthless his wife was, then he would
have divine providence to insults and maybe even justify leaving her.
But to his dismay, I took a stand for her. He was shocked to learn that I was happily
married for six years, my father happily married for 40 years. Finally, he stood up -
frustrated and exclaimed that I was too young to understand, which I took as a
compliment. After all, who doesn’t want to look young? He left saying I was not the
Guru for him.
Not my Circus, not my Monkeys (Ver-2)
A few weeks later, at an airport, I saw this man with another dressed in the garb of
holy man. He came to me and introduced me to the man with him as his Guru. The
Guru looked as frustrated as a man who had just endured an hour of colonoscopy.
The moment he opened his mouth, he explained on how worthless the government
was, then he stated a few more random aggressive statements and as he spoke, I saw
his disciple mesmerized by his words.
I mustered enough courage to ask him how were things with his wife. Before he could
answer, Guruji exclaimed that the lady was hindering this boy’s spiritual growth.
He was commanded to leave her, to which the disciple exclaimed I surrender to
Guruji’s will. The epiphany hit me like a bolt of lightening. The answer was crystal
clear - people find spirituality tedious as maybe no one is looking for spirituality.
Guru as Fashion or Guru as Passion?
A very famous jingle of my childhood stated “Sayer to sirf bahana hay, Papa ko kulfi
jo Khana hay”. I realized the same stood for so many people around me. Guru, God,
Sadhana and Satsang was just a bahana, an opportunity to socialize, a base for
networking or just a method to justify doing anything that one’s heart pleases. And so
I understood the difference between kaliyug and satyayug.
In the bygone times, a man looked for a Guru to help him reach the light. But today, a
Guru is a hobby, like a gym, or a fast food chain, all so very colourful, a vast variety.
So like a boy goes to a food court and reads a variety of menus before deciding which
cuisine would subdue his gastronomically cravings, so too a man goes to the Internet
to find that Guru which suits him best. And like a zebra walks with a zebra, a lion
with a lion, a monkey with a monkey, so too “women-hating-disciples” find “women-
hating-gurus”.
Politically ambitious student finds politically motivated gurus, and disciplined
students will find a disciplined master. This completely changes the age old saying
that “When the student is ready, the master appears” as what is the student ready for?

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 232

 
 
Superstition, at Discounted Rates
Every man is at a point in his life and how he is sure enough he will find a master to
care for his whims. That is why one finds, in the age of science, many are the takers of
superstition & many providers. Saying should be - Like energy attracts like energy.
Why this Guruvari Ji
If one wants to find a hero or even become a hero, one must ask why? Why am I
looking for a Guru? Is it so that I can fortify my delusions? Is it so I can use spirituality
to manipulate the gullible? Or is it that I am bored and awkward and a workshop
seems like a best place to socialize? If these are one’s reason to search for a Guru, he
will find himself to be like a dog chasing his tail, putting tremendous effort yet
reaching nowhere.
Twamev Mata…
One’s relation with a master should be simple, like that of a mother with a child - there
is no contract, no hidden agendas, no subtle ego fulfilment, just a divine
understanding - where one’s goal is the light and the Guru is the bridge to the light.
Hence when one seeks a Guru, one’s criteria should not be affinity to the master’s
political views or his clothes or his life. You never ask the pilot what he eats? How
does it matter as long as the pilot is capable to take you to your destination?
In the same manner seek not propaganda but wisdom.
To Master Focus, Focus the Master
When one goes to one’s Guru, he must, in his mind, have a goal. A goal to keep him
focused. Focus so the consciousness may rise above the chaos. Focus so that in the hall
where millions sit, a man sees but his Guru, hears but his words. For this man has a
goal and a passion to reach it, this man knows the Guru can give everything but
passion to succeed must come from within. For this man, only the Guru sits and talks
night and day.
For, in this man, the Guru sees a vessel empty to be filled with greatness and divinity.
For, this man is the one who will become the beacon of knowledge and hope. For
generations yet to come this man will be the true hero.
Pumping Idle vs Pumping Iron
I went to the gym once. Twenty boys were around me, ten took selfies and updated
their Facebook status - “Too pumped”. Five others in the gym were ogling the girls in
the squat rack, two were discussing with the trainer the expenses to run one’s own
gym and two were discussing which brand of shoes were the best, while one in the
corner with earphones kept on shooting one pull up after the other.
After the gym I saw all the boys in the changing room with 19 of them looking at the
one who was doing pull ups, amazed at his ripped body, disappointed at their own
love handles and flab as compared to that one boy’s chiselled physique. And as the 19
stared, one of them looked shrewdly to his mates stating that we spend the hours in
the gym the same way. The only possible explanation is he (the muscular guy) must be
taking Steroids. They all snickered and consented with the explanation retorted.
This is the story of every ashram, every gym and every place where Anyone can become
Someone - choice is yours - to be like the 19 or to be like what I chose to be in life, the one.
Bless you.

TV News or TV Noise?
Today, as I felt braver then usual, like a man about to do a cliff dive, I picked up the
TV remote and switched on the news. A debate raged on the most ordinary topic by a
panel of bumpkins, more than the news it reminded me of one of my beloved nature
programs based on a family of monkeys, the only difference was that when viewing
the apes, their chatter seems comprehensible whereas the gabble in the news could not
be deciphered by a mere mortal like myself. My mind turned to the next situation. I
stumbled upon a music video, borderline pornograhic, enough to even make our great
author Vatsyan blush and twist in his grave and even the music seemed to be like an
elementary poem “twinkle twinkle”. But stars had been superimposed with various
synonyms of booze such that any simpleton be mesmerized by the subliminal
programming. And like Pavlov’s dog, drooling to the bell, I can only deduce any
yahoo listening would be conditioned only to satisfy his cardinal desires in visible
urgency.
AD-UCATION
I understood why they are all called ‘programs’ because like a computer program
results in getting the desired result, a certain type of programming too could be used
to sway the population of a country towards or away from a relevant issue. Maybe
brain washing is not a myth, maybe our every thought is an inception. It has to be.
Otherwise why would marketing and advertising be a multimillion industry as after
all is it not inception, programming and conditioning when one is being told to buy a
product, or what to wear, or maybe even what to think.
Tele Tales - Game of Thrones Season 7 Fails?
As I continued my tele adventure, I thanked my stars as the latest episode of Game of
Thrones began and as the show continued, I realized there was something wrong.
There were inconsistencies in the storyline. The red women did something, the new
khal did something to khaleese and something happened to Arya. I realized that the
whole episode had been through a process of merciless editing by the censor board,
leaving the show as nothing but a scatter of clues with no continuity, where one must
be no less then the great Sherlock himself if one needed to decipher just what in the
name of God happened.
Skewed Priorities - Censoring the Sensory
And I wondered why did they censor this? Not the wordings in songs which are
almost a guided meditation to the nearest pub? This they felt like editing and not the
scripted journalism one is forced to endure in the name of being updated? Why is it
that one has to be in the mercy of the censorship overlords deciding what is the
maturity level of the country or more than that, has censorship affected the crime
rates? and if not, are we censoring what we shouldn’t and advertising that which
should be buried?
When I was in school, teachers decided what the class read, what the discussions
should be and it was understood as they were wiser, more mature than a bunch of
teenagers. But I thought when I grew up, I will have the power to choose my thoughts.
Was that not the whole point of going to school and collage - to become capable of
making life’s decisions, for if a child will always be treated like one, not allowed
freedom of thought, if one would always be spoon-fed ideas, then why go to school at
all? There would always be a dictator above to decide my fate.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 234

 
 
 But before one takes a decision, one must be informed, one must have access to data
and facts. Only when complete information is provided, the data understood, facts
verified, can a being actually reach maturity. That is why science cannot be censored.
For, if it was, then biology would be like boxing - “anything below the belt not
allowed”. A student must be aware.
Yes information can be misused. Yes some people may not be mature enough to
handle the information, but if a chance is not given to them, then we have condemned
them and their future generations to a life of ambiguity. At least by the law of
probability, the more the circle of data is increased, the more chances a man can
develop on the ideas. Maybe all an inventor needs is an inspiration from a past
thinker. Maybe all a revolution needs is an idea from the one capable. And that is why
I feel knowledge does not belong in the vaults, it belongs to all humanity. We are
beings of a hive consciousness & can truly help each other ones our mind synchronize.
Healer Hero
I was ten when one day, a tall, bulky man walked into my father’s house. My father
had just started teaching healing to the masses. It was a new concept in a medicine
obsessed culture but through the lost secrets of natural living and meditation that my
father had rediscovered, results were pouring in. Overnight, he had become a
sensation, the man who would teach anything to anyone. He was my hero.
Repartee to the Sanctimonious Party
This man came to my father and said that he came from the council of saints and many
saints believed that the secrets my father was teaching were not for the westerners and
the masses. He said that the saints believed the knowledge may not be respected by
unworthy who may learn. My father’s reply still rings in my ear. He said, “Rather, this
knowledge be disrespected by the few, than be lost for all.”
The man did not like my father’s answer. He left. My father became too big and the
love of the millions he guided and helped protected him then and now.
I realized then what censorship actually means. A man edits the information to be
passed on to the fellow man since this editing gives a man power over others. The
power to alter gives the man the power to decide the maturity level of the masses or to
even divide the masses. For, if there is free flow of information, all will be equal.
Where there is no editor, there can be no power, no division. Just the sweet dance of
freedom.
Maybe the saints were afraid that people won’t respect them if all their secrets flowed
out to the commoners. So, to preserve their power and to be venerated they gave only
drops of knowledge, a teaser, like an Eskimo feeds his huskies with just bits so as to
keep them motivated to run at his bidding. And if this is the case, then this is the
reason as to why the knowledge is lost. Imagine if all your pictures were on one phone
only, the day it is stolen, your data is gone. You must have copies in your PC or in a
hard drive. Only then data can be protected. I learned this from my father. Data
cannot be preserved by hiding it, but by spreading it, sharing it with the whole world,
by rising above the boundaries of countries and religions.
Cometh the hour, cometh the Hero
That is the need of the hour. We need a hero who can tell us the truth and for that hero
to be manifested, we must learn to make our self stronger. For if one is weak,
knowledge must be edited for political correctness, altered for not damaging one’s
superstitious beliefs, deleted so as not to harm sentiments. In such case one does not

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 235

 
 
 receive knowledge, all he receives is a worthless trophy. A man who can digest the
truth is the perfect student.
When Guru Need Updation
And like the seeker, even Gurus of today, as I learned from my father, must evolve.
They must teach what they know as Guru doesn’t mean protector but distributor of
knowledge. He is just a warden who does not possess but cares for the flame till the
next generation is ready to embrace the mantle. In other words, put up or shut up. The
world doesn’t need philosophers who talk in riddles and censor the secrets but the
masters which guide from experience and show the way to inner peace. Such a master
deserves true students.
But I cannot wait for the perfect student. Time is less, much is to be done. I must teach
what was taught to me by my father. For, I have no need of censorship. That man
censors who have finite. I have learned that growth is infinite. The more I grow, the
more I will learn. The more I learn, the more I will teach. And teach I must. For, the
secrets of the ancients have been lost once as somewhere someone censored. I do not
have that ego, nor did my father. All that we are, all that we will be, we must share.
The invention of the wheel began a reaction which will one day trigger the industrial
revolution. I do not know what good. I trigger, I do not know what greatness will be
inspired by me in the days of my son. All I know is this that whatever seed you sow,
only that you shall reap. And that is why today, in my fellow man I give out
unconditional love and trust , as my father did before me , and hope a day dawns
where all I see around me are men equal in divinity and bliss, that is the world in
which I wish to raise my son.
Blessings.
Namah Shivay.

Importance of all round Beauty for Shivyogis

I just gave an interview and learned the importance of beauty. Why do we portray Gods
with chiseled bodies and sharp features? Why are our goddess dresses in clothes and
jewels rivalling the prettiest of princesses? We give great attention to details adorning and
beautifying all that we hold remotely divine.
So why does the same law not apply on the self? For, God lives within, does he not? And if
spirituality means beautifying the mind, then body is the extension of your physicality
and thus true spirituality would mean great physical beauty. For great spirit like light
cannot be contained and if we shine within then it is definitive to see that vigour in our
ever-blooming, mesmerising smiles.
So I stand perplexed here with people with double standards, who on one hand beautify
their gods yet take pride in sloppiness like a pig in the dirt remains content. For, if a man
takes extreme efforts from dusk till dawn in all temples and places of worship to beautify
his gods like a child does to his doll, then one must remind himself that charity begins at
home and in the scriptures the ultimate reality of God in the self.
So I say take pride in being beautiful, maybe when the religious quote simplicity or shame
one’s attention to detail in beauty, it is not spirituality but envy. Imagine if you go home
and you are hungry but your mother does not give you food but says find it, your doctor
doesn’t give medicine but says find it. When we look at the world we want, we are direct
and we become frustrated if what is to be received is a bit delayed. But when it comes to

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 236

 
 
giving and ourself, when it comes to beauty we say you must find it in me. Why
complicate what is supposed to be easy? Why not give what we want? Let’s be honest
with ourself.
Create a beautiful body for it is the true temple of God, feel good in who you are. For, a
man who loves beauty outside can create it within also. Yes, beauty should not matter.
Yes, we must see beyond. Yes, God loves all. But if this is so, one does not need to be in a
slump for God to accept him. One must not be shamed for his love for the exclusive, for
this is not God. A rose amongst weed, a special eye is needed to see God. One must learn
to love the exclusive and the elite for nothing is more elite then the thirst for knowledge.
Let us give God a gift from today, why should he always need to accept us with all our
flaws? Why can’t we give him beauty? For, we love him and he deserves this gift.
So let us create healthy bodies and smiling faces. Let us be as beautiful as we can for those
around, let us match our inner to outer beauty, for why should people be doomed just to
search all the time to the inner? Let us create a beautiful entrance to the heart within. And
the people who say otherwise, tell them to fashion new gods for you can’t have your cake
and eat it too. Let them be envious.
But you my friend, I want you to remember, you are the only gift you can give to the
world. Let’s make the world pretty through us, let’s give a beautiful gift.
Let’s be the sun and the moon in the sea of stars.
Bless you.

Life in things of Life

For education to be complete, a child must learn survival. Knowledge with practical
application. For, none can eat paper. Just like a child learns to work a computer, he must
also learn to shape the environment around him. For, is this not what being human truly
mean? We have a drive to construct, to build, to grow and hence from the wilderness, we
create beautiful orchards bending nature to our will. To be human means to see the
sculpture in the rock. One will see today kids on their smart devices, playing games,
creating empires and alliances or an adult nose-deep in a book, creating money he has
never seen, numbers somewhere in an account. We built that which we may never touch
and experience and hence even happiness remains intangible. For, the body and mind is
wired to touch, to smell, to taste, to experience for happiness to be triggered. Hence, to
bring depth to a child’s perception, the first priority of the parent should be to teach the
child about nature, about animals, about the food we eat, from where it comes. But most
importantly to teach a child to plant and grow that food. Only then can a child learn the
bounty of nature, a mind set where one knows he is not slave to a system but where one
has the power to manifest all that one seeks for the world is a canvas for the one willing to
paint. To fulfil dreams first one has to have dreams. Teach the child, take him daily to
Mother Earth, to the elements, to swim, to play on the mud, to run in the grass. Give the
child a pot, a patch, where the child can play God, create and sustain life. For, is this not
the greatest life lesson when one learns to nurture a delicate plant somewhere one may
learn to nurture the self. Teach the child not just the prevailing society rules but the
immortal ways of nature. For, then what you leave behind as your seed is not a debt but
an asset to nature.
Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

To, Selfless “Sun” Father from a Selfless “Sunshine” son
I remember when I was a child I would look at my father and compare him with the sun.
For, the sun picks up moisture, the water never reaches it. The sun never takes, just
redistributes. From a land of plenty to a land parched, the sun helps the storm clouds
form, spreads the water far and wide and the land thirsty appreciates the gift. For, in
water there is life. In the same manner, I would see my Guru as a pioneer, a beacon of
hope and light for people in far off lands. As, in my country I saw so much knowledge, so
much spirituality so much wisdom, so much ancient. And the Avdhoot, like the sun,
would transfer, take the wisdom to all corners of the world, redistribute it as far as he
could. The world needs such men, some one has to do it. For, human emotion doesn’t
discriminate. Whatever our geographical location, whatever rock we worship, whatever
book we read, we all smile at our children, we all laugh when happy, cry when sad. We all
love our family and try to live a life of dignity but most of all, we all, at one point or the
other in life develop a deep spiritual thirst, we feel a longing that can be only fulfilled by
diving within. And hence, like a man mad with thirst searches water, we too seek
revelations, masters and Mystics.
Many fail and plunge into the dark abyss of negativity and sorrow but a lucky few find
such men who help restore their dignity and their self. And then comes relief, growth. For,
no longer does one live to heal the negative but a life of positive creation. For, only when
wounds heal can one develop the body. After a lifetime of neutrality, when one starts to
see growth, one is elated, ecstatic as one rides the wave of divine grace and miracles
manifesting. And as the dream turns real, one, content remembers who it was that helped,
whose wisdom was the lifeboat in the storms of life and then he looks back at the Guru.
The man who left the comfort zone and warmth of his home and travelled far and wide
listening to the cries of fallen heroes, braving and conquering the boundaries to remind us
we are not alone, someone cares, someone is willing to make the journey. For, that sun
knows that even though a dying plant may seem petite and puny, but if water reaches it, it
will become a gigantic tree having the power to feed the generations.
Someone must never forget that plant. For, one day this plant may be a sanctuary itself to
countless lives. Hence, one may ask what motivates the man travelling far and wide, what
draws the crowds to his soothing presence, what the eyes cannot see, the heart feels and
heals. For, in the crowd there are few who, now through the Guru, finally have the hope
and drive to overcome their shortcomings. For, all need the fuel to drive their souls to full
potentiality. The water redistributed. The gurus work done. For, like the sun, he loves all.
Perception beyond prejudice, beyond boundaries, Unconditional Love.
For, the world does not need men sitting under trees in forest. For, such acts would be
deemed selfish to nature. God will ask I gave you many resources and you hoarded,
remained content under a tree as the world burned.
No, today we need men of action. Men who don’t care for their days and nights. For them,
happiness comes from giving hope to the needy. Men who can lift the world from the
filters of invisible boundaries and unite the nations in love of peace and divine. Men who
are willing to make the hard choices and take the whole humanity in their circle as a
family.I follow such men. To shine their light, I travel. For, I am young. I cannot be weary.
For, I must be worthy of his name. His passion is awe-inspiring for age never stopped him,
hurt never mattered, distance was never a challenge, language no barrier and if he
continues so must I. For, he is the sun whose light I follow.
My father, my Guru, my Shivanand. I pray, let his Light Shine in all our Lives.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 238

 
 
Let his Light make it Rain in our Hearts.
Let his Actions be Fruitful.
His Love Accepted.
His Sacrifice Appreciated.
His Healing Received.
Blessings and love to all my family under the blue sky.
For, if he chooses to be father to all that makes me brother to all.
I bow down to the God awakening in all my brothers. Namah Shivay!

Comic Book – “ Shivanand ”

Every panel, every word of every comic is a phenomenal effort. Books are good but then
the writer leaves everything to the imagination. Comics are a million times more difficult
as then you must imagine yourself, each aspect of the story.
Since I was a child, I was given so many heroes in the form of popular culture around me.
Each hero I read about left an imprint on my psyche and each story became a part of who I
am. Then when I became wise, I realised there were two types of heroes. One was an
escape from reality created for those who do not achieve much. Heroes, which will never
come when called. Just a sweet fantasy, a primordial urge of what one wanted to become,
but one knows he will never be.
These are the heroes of children. The other type of heroes were the heroes of reality, who
themselves had lived extraordinary lives, who believed in becoming more than what they
were born as and changed the course of history for all humanity. The heroes of men. But I
saw nobody was telling their stories. All my gods, my rishis were fading away from the
thoughts of my generation. So I decided I must do more and I started creating befitting
stories for the real heroes of humanity. One such story is of my greatest hero my father.
Gratitude for all the affection as till the time such people will support the great work,
stories will be told and one more generation may become the keeper of such divine wealth
and treasure. Blessings for being the vessel of Divine Light, the candle in which the flame
burns, the ground which holds the heavenly tree.
I promise to you that this is preparation for the most phenomenal and greatest graphic
novel ever attempted and created in India.
Bless you, Namah Shivay.

our difficulties are nothing...we get so upset over little things look for solutions
outside...when the truth is that all the power is within us...our Shiva is just within
us...he has given us all the abilities and capabilities...we have just forgotten them...I
truly want to thank you for sharing Babaji’s Story with us...I’m having a different

Bubbles in the Wind
As I stand in the present and create bubbles of actions and thoughts, witnessing the winds
of time taking these bubbles into the future, I understand how fragile these thoughts are.
Slightest poke or interference in the path of these delicate forms and they vanish like
fairies of dreams when a child is awakened.
Every second hundreds of bubbles, so many thoughts but many will not even see the light
of tomorrow as dreams would be squashed, mind would be deviated, bubbles would be
burst by enemies and loved ones alike and sometimes in extreme boredom it would me
myself, bursting my own bubbles, for what to say but “empty mind is devil’s workshop”.
Each interaction, each stimulus creates so many bubbles, when I watch a romantic movie
or see a couple then I create bubbles of love or desire, when I see rocky or Rambo I create
bubbles of strength and courage, sometimes in bad moods my bubbles may even be filled
with poison.
But they all will always remain bubbles in the wind, flimsy in reality, brittle in
craftsmanship and millions in numbers.
One bubble, sometimes strongest and passionate, going further than the rest, reaching out
to the sky takes me beyond my time. For, that bubble touches other and reaches out to
those who’s life has lost magic, those who have forgotten how to make their own bubbles.
When they see my creation of long ago, they cheer and dance to the realisation that if I
could then so could they. My bubble becomes hope, going far and wide and inspires.
And so I must continue making bubbles even though many may die the moment they are
born, yet through my seemingly futile endeavour one day as fates decree smiles upon
thee, one bubble would be born strong and that bubble would take me to you.
You, who will shine with my light, you who I will never even know yet our bond would
be strong as in your new bubbles the story of my bubble will be preserved and this process
will confine till you and I find immortality and meet in the last bubble ever.
For is not earth also a bubble made by the ultimate bubble maker - Shiva himself. Maybe
in the centre of the universe you will find God blowing bubbles making galaxies which
implode and explode all in their due course.
Don’t stop now  O child of God. Play. Let the bubbles flow.
Yes, many will come, many will derive happiness in popping what you made. So what?
Each bubble would have popped anyway, at least be happy that it existed.
If you stop, who will send bubbles to the future who needs you now more than ever?
Let’s play, let’s create. For, my happiness is in manifesting.
I pray to God, let my bubbles be strong, I pray to the wind to take them far to whoever
may need them, I pray let my bubbles bring laughter peace and joy to all, I pray when it
pops let God be the one being playful and popping what he himself created.
Till the time you and I float together, I pray let the wind keep us together, as long as
nature allows.
Love you.
Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

Happy New Year 2018 to all!!!!
There is a concept called Franklin Effect which states that -- “A person who has performed
a favour for another is more likely to do another favour for them.”
What this implies is that once we start to do Good towards someone, we tend to get in a
pattern of continuously doing good towards that person, no matter the situation. Which
seems like a good approach when we look through the eyes of a mother towards a child or
a teacher towards the students or a father to the son.
Yet there is a negative side to this phenomenon that states -- “We come to dislike a person
whom we did wrong to. We de-humanize them to justify the bad things we did to them.”
Meaning that once we do wrong to a person by way of actions or attitude we tend to
create a pattern of wrongdoing in which we take away the humanity of our perceived
threat. Yet what is most alarming is that we go into an automatic mode of creating good or
evil where freewill from life is eliminated & what remains is pattern of our own creations.
I want you to understand the power of patterns. Any thought or feeling in which we
invest our time on becomes our pattern, a reality or behaviour that subconsciously repeats
itself over and over in our life. Our whole life and personality is a sum total of acquired
patterns, some which are good for us & some that may hurt ones we tend to love the most.
The older the pattern, the deeper are the roots of those habits in our soul, making it
tougher to wipe clean the engraving experiences created on the self.
Implying that a ten year habit is easier to break then a 11 year old habit.
Hence, the emphasis on our Moral Education.
We must never start something negative for we never know a sip today could be
alcoholism tomorrow, a bet today could be a gambler tomorrow.
Remember your Guru’s words - “Learn to say NO with Confidence”.
At the same time, we are taught to bring God in our lives. For, even Buddha began from
somewhere. Every stone leads to the enormity of the palace.
Yet we are human after all. Sometimes knowingly or unknowingly mistakes are made. The
million dollar question is What Now? Will I choose to remain stuck in my previous
pattern or will I take control of my life and destiny and start to create a divine pattern in
my life?
For, my mind and body our built in such a way that whatever thought I choose will take
over my life, becoming stronger each day, becoming my principles, guiding my every
choice.
Remember you can only do two things in life ---
1) Reinforce the Previous Pattern
By repeating past behaviour we make the old habits tougher to break, every time we
procrastinate forgiveness or hold on to laziness, we drown in the quicksand of
karma.
2) Create a New Pattern
Remember the mightiest of the trees was once a humble seed, the fiercest lion was
once a tiny cub. Take responsibility for today. Do Good today. Be kind today. Bless
today and just like the smallest drops from heaven fill the largest oceans, a day shall
come when you will find your life filled with prosperity, abundance and bliss.

“ Teachings of Ishanji ” ‐‐‐ Page 241

 
 
Each day as you awake, tell your heart and soul that “I deserve happiness, I deserve love, I
deserve bliss” These words will empower you and give you the power to overcome inertia
to control the life you have been gifted.
I pray that the year 2018 be truly a new year in your life. Hence make a commitment today
“All the past, I will leave in the past”. Today, put the foundations of a new pattern in my
life. Let the New Year begin with forgiveness to those that need to be forgiven, love to
those that thirst your love and power to the self through the guidance and the grace of the
spiritual masters.
Today, create a Goal for the Self - Health, Success and Life.
Each day strive to create new patterns that help you achieve the miracles that are waiting
to manifest in your life from today.
Let every thought, action and choice in the coming year be mindful and leading to
abundance.
Let 2018 be the year of evolution success and abundance.
So choose wisely, choose well, choose love and kindness.
Happy New Year to all. Love you. Bless you.
Namah Shivay.

Be thankful for --- who you are, what you have…

Yesterday, when I was serving food to people at an old age home. I met a man. He was
frail and old. As if life was hanging by a thread. I felt sad so I gave him a big portion of ice
cream. He looked at me and smiled. He called me closer and told me two words -
circumstances and regret. He said, “Son, I was rich and educated. I had a PhD and a house
and a family, I had cars and money but circumstances were such that I lost everything and
wound in a home for the aged.” So he said, “My son, always be grateful for what you
have. For, you never know how long it will last. The second, he said, was regrets. He
explained, “I wasted my life thinking about people who do not matter, things that were
useless in the long run and the things that seemed little at that time, like my family, health
and my friends. The things that I ignored are the things that I regret not spending time
upon.” As he enjoyed the butterscotch ice cream he said to me, “Son, respect your
circumstances & never leave scope for regret.” I left that room with much to ponder upon.

 Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand ji ( Babaji)
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand is a Self Realised Siddha Master of Ancient Vedic Practices, who
has been sharing the sacred wisdom of Ancient Siddha’s that was only transmitted from
the Guru to worthy disciples, thus being protected within the lineage. Dr. Avdhoot
Shivanand was blessed at the tender age of 8 when a great Himalayan Yogi 108 Swami
Jagannath, one day called little Shivanand & initiated him with a mantra and quickly left
the place. From this tender age, Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand began his spiritual practices, all
the while being guided and blessed by His masters.
After attaining Self Realisation, this Himalayan Shivyogi decided that he must reach out to
the people at large and share these divine wisdom with everyone as he felt it is everyone’s
birthright to learn & ascend. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand soon began teaching these practices
in mass workshops where he also taught the common man how to heal oneself and others
physically, emotionally & burn the karmic structures that were responsible for sufferings
in their lives. Soon, Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand recognised as the “Father of Indian Healing”.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand always taught that in order evolve spiritually and to liberate
oneself, it was not necessary to leave the world or one’s worldly responsibilities. Dr.
Avdhoot Shivanand himself led by example that it was possible to attain Self-Realization
even being a Grihastha (house-holder) practicing spirituality and at the same time taking
care of worldly responsibilities. He taught how one can be in the world and yet remain out
of the world by observing an attitude of detachment by witnessing everything around as
the Play of Consciousness. At the same time, Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand laid emphasis on
Unconditional Forgiveness, Unconditional Acceptance and Unconditional Love, which is
the hallmark of a Siddha (liberated being).
A Siddha Yogi is a liberated being beyond the barriers of language, religion, and even
boundaries that differentiate life in any form – man, animal or plant. Babaji sees no
distinction in any religion and accepts all religion as one. He says every religion preaches
truth in its own way and it is ignorance to see everything as separate because everything
sprouts from one source. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand focuses on what all great masters of all
religion have preached and often makes mention of the sayings of Jesus Christ, Buddha,
Mahavira, Indian mystics and Sufi Saints.

“ Babaji & Gurumaa ” ‐‐‐ Page 245

 
 
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand eagerly shares the wealth of wisdom and experience that he
cultivated during his years of hard spiritual practices and sadhana. He graces everyone
with abundant energies of the Divine to help one raise one’s vibrations by acting as the
important medium between mankind and the Divine. It is with his compassion and love
that millions have benefited and are still benefiting in many ways. He is a source of
inspiration and a role model to the modern man who can balance one’s life spiritually and
materialistically.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand always stresses that it is one’s pure intention that matters in any
and every aspect of life. It is only one’s honesty, integrity and sincerity in one’s spiritual
practice that brings faster growth. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand openly shuns superstition that
has haunted mankind for thousands of years and reveals many real in-depth meaning of
the ancient scriptures that have often been misunderstood for generations. He
demonstrated the powers of ritualistic practices when they are undertaken with the
wisdom of their subtle symbolic meaning with pure intentions in performing the act.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand prefers not meeting anyone personally for he believes every
answer is within and he teaches one to access these dormant powers in every human
being. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand teaches his followers to take responsibility of one’s own
life and creating one’s own destiny by unleashing the potentials that lie buried under
human ignorance. Hundreds and thousands of people have brought positive changes into
their lives and redirected their lives to the way they wish to live life with peace, health,
happiness and abundance. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand has become the role-model of people
of all diversities, religion, from children to the aged.

Life of Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand ji

A few decades ago Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand arrived on this planet on the auspicious day of
Holi or Dol Poornima. From the age of 8 Babaji was spiritual, as one day, at the age of 8
a Himalayan Yogi came and initiated Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand with a mantra and went
away.
The yogi was a great 108 Swami Jagannath, considered to be of a high order Babaji found
that this mantra was playing within him all the time and only after he understood what
spiritual gains he received from this initiation, did Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand start searching
for His Guru everywhere. He tried to trace him at all possible places including the
Himalayas but never found him. From here on, Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand spent more time
meditating.
Then, as time passed Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand came across numerous saints, Avdhoots,
and Siddhas who graced and blessed Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand on his spiritual mission. He
achieved many spiritual achievements with intense tapas. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand had
lost his father at a very young age and He missed fatherly love. This made Dr. Avdhoot
Shivanand become determined to give fatherly love to as many people as possible,
especially the orphans and downtrodden. By now He had made his life mission to spread
unconditional love and to give love and support to children. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand had
got married at an early age and soon He was to be joined by her on this spiritual mission
by Gurumaa. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand and Gurumaa then both embarked on this journey
with small seva projects and fed the hungry.

“ Babaji & Gurumaa ” ‐‐‐ Page 246

 
 
Soon the Divine bestowed on them the blessings of doing more and more for humanity
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand at the same time decided that all the powers and secrets He
received with his hard work should not just remain with him. An intention arose within
Him to share what He received from the Divine. With divine permissions and assistance
from the Guru Mandala, Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand began ShivYog, teaching the sacred
sadhanas and methods of Holy Siddhas along with the basic principles of living a
practical, ethical and clean life. He taught people how to take responsibility for one’s life
and how to handle the root cause of all suffering – karma. With more and more people
experiencing healing and transformations across India, Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand became
lovingly popular as the Father of Indian Healing. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand did not stop
with this, but He even today toils every single day offering people not just the remedies
and secrets of living life but also how to liberate oneself from birth and death in this life
itself. Babaji today conducts shivirs across the globe nonstop, healing and blessing people
along the way so that mankind can come out of the clutches of self-created pain and
sufferings. He initiates people on the path of Shaktipat and people experience major
release of karma in His shivirs when and after their Kundalini Shakti is awakened by the
powers of Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand’s programs were regularly telecasted on spiritual channels in
India and abroad and many have received His blessings even sitting at home through the
mode of television. You can watch YouTube channel videos of “ShivYog Channel”.
The ShivYog foundation works relentlessly for upliftment of the masses providing
opportunities and tools to support human ascension. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand is today
assisted in his divine mission by Gurumaa and son Acharya Ishanji and a whole lot of
inspired disciples around the globe following the trail left by their Guru’s footsteps.

Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand’s Life Mission

Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand has dedicated his entire life to the uplift of mankind by various
means of reaching out to the needy in the form of healing, self-empowerment, animal
welfare, tree plantation, feeding the hungry, educating children, owning the disowned,
reaching out to old age homes, etc.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand’s prime mission is to offer solace to the suffering. He has for
years being striving reach food to the hungry, reach toys, books and clothes to poor
children, reach cows into safe animal shelters, reach basic needs to orphans and the aged
and to reach the ancient sacred wisdom to the common man. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand is
actively involved in planting as many trees as possible and wishes to have lakhs of trees
planted in the years to come to support ecology.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand never accepts donations or contributions for this divine work and
believes in working hard himself as a father does for his family.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand is a living Siddha, who has been moving with the backing force of
the Divine command and with the guiding force of His master, reaching this divine grace
to millions through shivirs and events that He conducts for the mass. Coming from the
lineage of Holy Siddhas and being graced by His Siddha masters, in form and beyond, Dr.
Avdhoot Shivanand blesses one with the gift of shaktipat and divine sadhanas of the
ancient masters, so that one can empower oneself to take responsibility of one’s life and
circumstances by working upon the karmic influences with the appropriate powerful
sadhanas. It is Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand’s prime vision that no child sleep hungry, no child
be without education, no child have scarcity of clothes. With these acts of kindness and

“ Babaji & Gurumaa ” ‐‐‐ Page 247

 
 
compassion, Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand not only wishes to fulfil his soul agenda but also
wishes to extend this as an example to those who strive to make the world a better place.
Among the pantheon of spiritual greats which the holy land of India has conceived, Dr.
Avdhoot Shivanand would rank right up there. Not only because of his adherence to
righteousness or dharma but for guiding millions to tread on the same path of divine
virtuousness and spiritual rectitude. After having himself attained Self-Realization
through decades of sustained meditation, and after that the venerable position of a
ShivYog Siddha Guru with a vast treasure trove of divine powers, Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand
has firmly resolved to show one and all, the path to ever-lasting divine bliss which he
himself has attained.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand has revived in the modern times and pioneered ShivYog healing,
the art of the Himalayan ascetics through which one can gain miraculous perfection in
health, wealth and achieve untold spiritual ascension by first outgrowing every known
worldly shortcoming through the rise of the Kundalini Shakti or the Consciousness. Dr.
Avdhoot Shivanand wishes to bring a holistic touch to every process of cure for every
kind of problem in the modern age.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand’s teachings of Unconditional Love, Acceptance and Forgiveness
have found resonance among people across the Globe, transforming uncountable lives for
good. And if anything, this tremendous shower of unconditional love from his disciples
has spurred Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand on to spread more of his grace in every nook and
corner of this planet and even beyond – in the celestial world. The revered Dr. Avdhoot
Shivanand is a rare and a super precious gem for humanity as he is the only living and last
of the ShivYog Siddhas, who are capable of delivering initiation in esoteric meditations of
Shakti upasana (Shree Vidya) and Mahamrityunjaya Sadhana (deep healing meditations)
which are known to be the Mother of all meditations and hitherto a secret preserve of the
mystics, yogis and saints of the Himalayas.
By teaching rare spiritual crafts like scanning of energy blockages in the body through
activation of intuitive powers and also how to heal by invocation of the love and kindness
of Supreme Shiv-Shiva, Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand is fulfilling his dream of “Loka Samasta
Sukhino Bhavantu” or may all be happy and peaceful. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand’s goal of
spreading his noble vision of universal happiness has manifested in him organizing
innumerable bhandaras, langars, divine care for cows, ration distribution, toy distribution,
oldage home adoptions, school adoptions, empowerment endeavours for the
underprivileged on a daily basis.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand’s outstanding contribution to mankind, helping usher in peace,
love and tranquillity by bridging the gap between man and God makes him an agent of
God, if not an incarnation of God himself in human form. His state of divine equipoise and
transcendence from the three Gunas makes one believe more so in him being an avatar of
Lord Shiva himself.
In totality, Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand is a happiest soul, a magnanimous humanitarian, aside
from being an unparalleled healer, a one of his kind speaker, an altruistic philanthropist
and a divine scientist with his profound experimental research on natural herbs as
supreme medicines.
Today, all beings of nature – from animals to birds to plants to humans all feel privileged
to be enjoying the largesse of the red-robed, divine hearted and Santa-like saint, both
literally and figuratively– Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand.

Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand and Gurumaa
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand and his Shakti form Gurumaa, have spent a major part of this
incarnation together, blending as the Shiva and Shakti on the physical realms. Their
combined divine Unconditional Love is the foundation of the Foundation  ShivYog.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand and Gurumaa took the nuptial vows at a very young age, when
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand was focused well on His raring to proceed ahead with his
spiritual life. With the commitment that He made, He very well shared with Gurumaa His
mission in life of going into deeper sadhana after a certain age. As mentioned to Her,
when His life reached the destined milestone, He told Gurumaa that it was time for Him
to go for deeper sadhana, to which she was taken aback but this was something Dr.
Avdhoot Shivanand had told Maa quite early. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand was pleasantly
surprised when he unexpectedly heard Maa ask if ask if she could join Him in His pursuit.
Thereon, both of them pursued with the beautiful blend of nourishing and rearing up their
two children – Acharya Ishan Shivanand and Geentanjali Shivanand and also spending
time in spiritual practices and service.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand often recalls the times when He was inspired and guided by His
master to feed children and the poor. They both began working for it by bringing the
ingredients and vegetables and cooking food themselves and serving whomever they
could. Slowly the number began to increase in their locality and a day came when they
found their hands were falling short in this selfless act. Soon cooks were hired and a larger
scale of bhandara was taking shape, much on the guidance of His master and blessings.
Eventually, the feeding of many more were made possible by divine grace and them
meeting every need to fulfil such a huge task.
Today, the seed of their selfless service to mankind has grown into a huge tree with it’s
branches spread out all over the world, the fruits of which reaches thousands of poor
people and children around the world in the form of daily food, refreshments along with
care of their other basic needs.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand supported Gurumaa in every way to begin an animal shelter for
the hapless cows and built a beautiful heaven for them in a place near Alwar, Rajasthan. A
large open barren land, which also happens to be the tapobhoomi (land of penance) of Dr.
Avdhoot Shivanand, was cultivated with great efforts and hard work, which now is a
green lush open field where cows graze. They are not tied but let loose to move in their
heaven of freedom with abundance of food. Gurumaa overlooks activities here including
the mass tree plantation project that Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand initiated, where thousands of
trees were planted here by ShivYog sadhaks.
Both Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand and Gurumaa have never stopped for a day in these
activities and now with more sadhaks joining the team, they continue overlooking the
activities, but still taking time often to visit orphanages, old age homes, and gaushala still
finding time to personally monitor or deliver things with their own hands, leading a
perfect example of the joy derived from these acts of compassion and unconditional love.
Moreover, both have blessed many sadhaks worldwide through the workshops (shivirs)
of Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand. He and Gurumaa now grace workshops that are totally free for
the benefit of the masses and their spiritual and worldly evolution. Both can be seen
together most of the time in almost all activities they have initiated for the creation, caring
and sharing with each other an eternal bond of unconditional love, thus providing every
seeker with a true example of a successful spiritual Grihastha (person with family) life.

“ Babaji & Gurumaa ” ‐‐‐ Page 249

 
 
On the recent anniversary, Gurumaa in one of her moments with a handful of people
around her was asked to say something and she said with a wide smile, “I wouldn’t mind
re-living my entire life again, if I had to… every bit of it… it has been that wonderful.”

Pujya Gurumaa
Gurumaa, as she is fondly called, has been with Babaji for four decades and assisting
Babaji at every step. Gurumaa spends time taking care of her children (ashramites) and
overlooks the activities of the ashram from early morning to late evening. She has been
greatly responsible for the creation of Gaushala, where over the past few years she has
been helping cows that were sick or injured or ones that would have ended up in
slaughter houses.
Gurumaa regularly visits orphanage homes, oldage homes finding happiness in sharing
her time and love with them along with the gifts and food that she lovingly serves for all
of them. She, on opportunity, even loves cooking for her children at the ashram or the
places she visits. People at the oldage home eagerly wait for her, to see her, be with her
and speak with her with their love and embraces.
Sadhna Shivanand, Gurumaa, has for long been a parent to many disowned people and
orphan children with her initiatives in reaching love to them through the various offerings
that she shares with them in kind.
Gurumaa follows Babaji in almost all workshops, thus being the strong compliment of
feminine form to the completeness of Babaji. She speaks very less but whenever she does,
her soft-spoken words are full of love, compassion, wisdom and inspiration. Her sayings
very well ornament the sacred teachings of Babaji as does her presence with Babaji.
Gurumaa has been the source of inspiration to many women in the household as well as
an excellent example when it comes to learning how to balance the worldly and spiritual
aspects of womanhood.
Gurumaa is a mother to all – from her own children to ashramites to the disowned to
animals. With her mornings, devoted to the quiet worship of Lord Shiva, she is often seen
walking around the ashram burning incense sticks and lamps in the temple and ashram.
She is often found to in her own contemplation or speaking to someone words of
encouragement or cooking for ashramites or instructing on ashram work. Gurumaa’s
motherly love and compassion emanates from her wherever she goes.

Babaji’s Direct Message on Teacher's Day (September 05 2016)
It is Teacher's Day today. Here's a lesson from, if it may be stated, an Enlightened
Professor, also a Doctorate Holder now.
The word education has a Latin origin. “Edu” in Latin means the one who knows.
To be educated in life, one needs a guiding force. For external education, this force is your
teacher, your professor. So when you want to acquire knowledge, you just put your
absorption mode on, suspicion guard down & let the professor guide you through.
For internal education, the teacher and professor equivalent is the Guru. While external
education is all theory, covering 4% of the world, the internal education is majorly
practical involving the experience of the 96% intangible power within. The need to
surrender in the practical aspect is thus all the more.
When we wish to gain knowledge from the professor, we do not doubt. We do not talk
about our past teachers. If we do that, we cannot learn anything because in that state we
will always be comparing and confusing. Likewise, when it comes to the internal
education which is what we call the wisdom, we must not doubt. At that time, we cannot
say to the Master that we already have a Guru but still we want to follow what you want
to teach us.
Such a thinking implies that you have not fully surrendered to one teacher in life.
Remember that role model has to be one. The guide has to be one. A defocused and
scattered approach is indicative of restlessness and lack of faith and thus minimal
receptivity.
If we talk about the highest degree internal science - ShivYog Adwait Shree Vidya, it
requires total surrender and a very close, subtle connection with only one Guru because
the curriculum of this science is vast, complex and at every stage, loyalty and devotion are
essential pre-requisites for allowing the Guru to facilitate the journey of learning. The
Guru makes you his responsibility when you establish a connection through humble
surrender in Adwait Shree Vidya. Single minded devotion in that case becomes important.
Grace makes you a complete human being. It makes you realise the parts of yourself
which external education can't.
People say that the solution to modern day problems lies in educating yourself. But before
that, isn’t it important to understand who the real “I” is, the “I” who wishes to educate
himself.
A teacher will teach you how things are done. A Guru will make you experience the
lessons to be imbibed for life. Surrender to a teacher will make you a literate man.
Surrender to a Guru will make you an enlightened one. Thus a Guru is even more
important to have than a teacher.

Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand and the ShivYog

Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand is a modern yogi, a spiritual scientist, a social reformer and the
Father of Indian Healing. He belongs to a celebrated tradition of Himalayan Yoga and
Meditation from India. Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand has been quietly working on raising
human consciousness all over the world for the last two decades.
To be more specific, he has been working tirelessly all over the globe to bring a revolution
in human consciousness to make a global impact on four fronts ---

“ Babaji & Gurumaa ” ‐‐‐ Page 251

 
 
 o Health for all
o Healthy food for all
o Protection and preservation of nature and,
o Restoration of family values

A typical human being goes through life as if on a roller coaster ride – up and down, again
and again, endlessly. A series of unconscious choices and unwanted results. Some pleasant
and others truly unpleasant. Everyone will attest to having felt helpless at some point in
their life. While some brave it out, others experience extreme pain and suffering. In any
case, for a lot of human beings, life feels like a prison and they are waiting to get out. Dr.
Avdhoot Shivanand says, you do not have to feel helpless or needlessly suffer. The
solutions to all your life problems lie within yourself. You just need to learn how to go
inside yourself and unlock those solutions. He teaches a system of yoga and meditation
that helps you do precisely that.
Psychic impressions are the end result of a person’s emotional reactions to the actions of
other people and the events of his life. These psychic impressions are stored as intra-
cellular memory. The sum total of these impressions is responsible for shaping the
personality of a person, how he or she perceives the world and life in general. These
psychic impressions create patterns of thought and behaviour in a person that ultimately
affect the person’s health, financial condition, relationships, family life and worldly
success. “Thoughts become things”, and thoughts are controlled by your psychic
impressions.
His yoga involves going into a deep state of consciousness where a person is deeply
relaxed and highly alert at the same time. In this state of mind which is beyond waking,
sleeping and dreaming, the individual rises above his narrow self-identification with his
body and mind and becomes connected to his higher self. Being established in this state,
he can then create the situations and circumstances of life of his choosing. He can also
undo the negative or unwanted circumstances he has created due to the unconscious
wrong choices he made under the influence of his psychic impressions.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand’s yoga helps one to enter into a state of consciousness where these
psychic impressions and the incidents that led to their creation can be revisited, witnessed
and released. An intellect imprisoned by psychic impressions can be an obstacle in one’s
progress in life just as a mirror covered in dust does not serve the purpose for which it was
created.
As these psychic impressions are released a person begins to regain the mental clarity and
emotional intelligence to make the right choices in life (choices that are in his or her best
interests). It has been observed during recorded medical investigations of these release
processes that as soon as people release these negative psychic impressions, there is almost
a spontaneous reversal of negative health conditions. Life circumstances also improve and
it has been observed that a person once again becomes creative and productive and enjoys
a full life. There is a balance achieved between the inner and the outer world.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand’s assertion is that the human organism is the most powerful
computer in the universe designed and built by nature. However, most human beings
never utilize more than 4% of their inbuilt potential and leave this earth never having fully
realized their life’s purpose. He has spent long years in deep and intense yogic and
meditation practices in the most powerful spiritual centers of India. During these periods
of deep meditation, Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand investigated why such a large section of

“ Babaji & Gurumaa ” ‐‐‐ Page 252

 
 
humanity dies unfulfilled and how a human being can realize 100% of his true potential.
Through a combination of decades of inner research, spiritual experimentation and a deep
analysis of his own reactions to life situations he was able to develop a system of yoga and
self-management that can help the entire humanity and through that the whole of nature.
The yoga that Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand has developed is helping millions of people around
the world to fully recover from the most serious health conditions, overcome relationship
problems, create wealth and abundance and live a life they have always dreamt about.
There are some distinguishing features of this yoga that is making it possible for people
from all corners of the world to learn, embrace and practice it, regardless of their religious,
cultural and ethnic background.
o Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand’s yoga is not a religious system and is free from all
superstitions and dogma.
o It is based entirely on inner science and a deep knowledge and understanding of
the science of energy.
o It has been subjected to many scientific studies and analyses and has always come
out with flying colors baffling even the most celebrated men and women of
science.
His work is not limited to working with the common man or with the medical scientists.
He has done path breaking work in the field of agriculture and is helping to make farming
healthy for the average person and lucrative for farmers. He is progressing rapidly on his
goal of making healthy and toxin-free food available to everyone. Not only that, he is
helping children all over the world experience the power of their own mind through
developing enhanced powers of memory, concentration and focus. He and his army of
yogis are feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and caring for the old and the infirm.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand seeks no glory or attention to himself and lives in a state of total
oneness with the entire universe. One of the most noticeable things about this spiritual
giant is his remarkable simplicity, humility and compassion. Through his comprehensive
system of personal and societal well-being, he is helping people overcome all kinds of
mental and emotional conflicts and holistically enhance those aspects of life that are
universally important to every human being.
His teaching of unconditional love, forgiveness and acceptance is helping to bring peace to
individuals, families and societies around the world. Thus he has become an oasis of
ultimate calm and peace in a world beleaguered with political and religious conflict. He
seeks to positively transform the world by helping individuals transform themselves.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand’s Yoga is called “ShivYog” but by Shiv he does not mean God in
a religious sense. He is using the term to refer to what he calls as infinite. The infinite
power in nature that is responsible for all creation. Yog is the process of becoming one or
united with something. ShivYog then translates as union with the infinite. This infinite is
beyond concepts that are created by the mind. It is beyond the mind and can only be
experienced but not described or explained through words.
Thus ShivYog is actually a journey  from Mindlessness to ShivYog Mindfulness, From
Mindfulness to mastering the Yoga of Inner Consciousness and from Inner Consciousness
to Self-Realization.
A self-realized person has realized who he really is – what his true identity is. And that he
is not finite. In fact he has realized the infinity that is within him. And so the phrase,
“Emerging Infinite.”

“ Babaji & Gurumaa ” ‐‐‐ Page 253

 
 
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand says all of our problems arise from a limited identification with
our body and mind. No one will disagree that the body and mind have limitations.
Everybody knows what they can and cannot do with their body and what things are
beyond the capabilities of their mind.
There is a story from India that is quite relevant in this context:
 “We are all tigers living amongst sheep!”
There lived a tigress in a jungle near a remote village in India. She was pregnant. One day
she came upon a flock of sheep grazing happily in the jungle. She pounced upon the flock
from the top of a rock, but in the process gave birth to tiger cub and died. The cub grew up
among the sheep and thought of himself as a sheep but not until he was rescued by a male
tiger years later that he realized the truth about himself.
The moral of the story is that we are all tigers living amongst sheep. As long a tiger thinks
it’s a sheep, it will live like one. Only after realizing its true nature does it roar.
Thus this union with the infinite is needed to realize that you are not finite, you are not
limited and you are not weak and helpless. And this is what ShivYog facilitates – the
transformation from finite to the infinite. In fact, it is the realization of one’s infinite nature
and potential that ShivYog makes possible. It is Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand’s life’s mission to
release the maximum number of human beings from their self-created prisons built of
wrong and limiting beliefs and help them live a life of supreme happiness and bliss.
Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand has worked tirelessly over the years to make ShivYog simple and
easy for everyone. In ShivYog nothing is an obstacle and everything is a stepping stone to
realizing your true potential. As Dr. Avdhoot Shivanand continuously reminds us, “ You
are the creator of your own destiny.”
The great thing about ShivYog is that it is not something that isolates you from your
family or society and you do not have to forcibly give up anything and run away into the
mountains. In ShivYog, you don’t run away from anything but you stand and face
everything. You transmute the negative energy into positive energy. In fact you resolve all
issues with all your relationships, deepen your family ties, contribute to the well-being of
society and live in harmony with the environment. You might say that these sound like
lofty goals and probably next to impossible to achieve. However, in ShivYog these things
happen very naturally if one sincerely follows the teachings and practices of this great
modern day spiritual scientist.
ShivYog is a path of experience. There is no room for theory or blind belief. Every
ShivYogi directly experiences the teachings of ShivYog. This is not about endless debates
about the existence or non-existence of God and meaningless intellectual speculation. This
is a process of true inner transformation that the individual and the people around her can
distinctly see, feel and experience.
ShivYog’s success rate in producing all around transformation and turning around lives is
turning heads everywhere. The reasons for this remarkable level of success are many, but
one that really stands out is that it is a way of life that brings positive transformation in
every aspect of an individual’s life. As you spend more and more time with Dr. Avdhoot
Shivanand’s teachings and begin to embrace ShivYog as a way of Life, you can literally see
 your life changing right in front of your eyes.

Teachings of ShivYog

Few ongoing ShivYog Seva Projects (on regular basis) :
Serving Mother Nature
Ishan Shivanand ji loves nature as he feels it all is the beautiful creation of the Supreme
Creator. For the sustenance of life and life forms on the planet it is imperative that nature
is served as one would serve one’s mother. Moreover, it is Ishan Shivanand ji’s vehement
feeling that since we derive so much from nature, from food to shelter, it is but essential
and obvious that we must give back in the best way we can.
The best way that Ishan Shivanand ji suggests to repay our debt to nature is by planting
trees. Large number of trees are felled and forests are being occupied by rapid
urbanization. Cutting of trees imbalances the ecology and this rampant destruction of
trees has brought in so many natural calamities. Ishan Shivanand ji has been encouraging
tree plantations wherever he travels – India to Kenya, Indonesia to Thailand. And sadhaks
have been involved in these endeavour of planting thousands of trees as a way to mark
any special occasion – be it someone’s birthday, anniversary, marriage so on and so forth.
Ishan Shivanand ji leads the collective conscience of nature lovers as is exemplified by his
own hermitages, developed as sprawling green belts in the Indian states of Rajasthan,
Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, which are divine gardens shaped tree by tree, leaf by leaf
by Ishan Shivanand ji’s own sweat and hard work..
The cow paradise in Alwar has been planted with hundreds of trees in the vast open land.
True to his perfectionist ways, Ishan Shivanand ji has always maintained that only
planting is never sufficient. The process is much the same as giving birth to a child. We
don’t just bring in a life in this world, we care for it, nurture it with tender love, care and
compassion. Likewise, going a step ahead, he urges during all ShivYog plantation drives
that the saplings must be adopted, should be well-watered, well-manured and protected
from insects, pests, and grazing animals till they can grow independently. This helps
realize the true purpose of planting trees.
Besides, during his Cosmic Healing workshops, every participant is taught and
encouraged to send Sanjeevani Shakti (cosmic healing of infinite dimension) to Mother
Nature, especially with the powerful Mritsanjeevani Kriya involving redirection of a
potent mix of solar energy and cosmic energy.
During times of turmoil and calamities, ShivYog Healers often get together to send healing
to these places, avert any mishap through collective prayers and projection of peace. Such
collective efforts are powerful not only in minimising or rehabilitation but also in many
cases turned preventive. Such healing and prayers are one of the purest ways to give back
to Mother Nature and become a divine tool in the evolution of mass consciousness.

Education with Pride

Ishan Shivanand ji’s mother, Gurumaa has been a teacher in her prime. She understands
the needs of the downtrodden and underprivileged better than anyone. Therefore, another
area where ShivYog charity drives have forayed into is clothing the students in
government schools who may not have the means to buy school uniforms. On a quarterly
basis, ShivYog seva teams who have prepared a database of beneficiary schools in remote
villages, undertake school uniform distribution drives. The teams are blessed with the
honour of being led by Gurumaa personally on many occasions.
School uniforms were one of Ishan Shivanand ji’s dreams for needy children. For years, he
gifted children with school uniforms with the noble vision that children must feel proud to

“ Philanthropy ” ‐‐‐ Page 257

 
 
go to school and feel proud to wear the uniforms like children of any other social status or
any other private school.
Earlier, this effort was given wings in a very interesting way. Lengthy meters of cloth used
to arrive periodically and was sent to tailors who stitched these uniforms for both boys
and girls and when ready, the ShivYog Seva team sprung into action. These activities were
more intensified in the year 2014 when more poor schools were identified in villages and
visited thereupon. The winter of 2014 also saw the opportunity for ShivYog to be the
medium for warm clothes to reach to the deprived children. It surely radiated peace when
these children excitedly and warmly smiled in happiness as Gurumaa lead the seva teams,
visiting one school after the other from village to village.

Feeding the Hungry

Ishan Shivanand teaches that the greatest selfless service is one that is done to satiate a
needy person’s appetite.
According to many scriptures and tenets of faiths too and most of all ShivYog teachings as
well say that feeding the hungry is the foremost and most superlative form of service that
one can and that one must do. A hungry soul is an angry soul. A satiated soul is a blissful
soul.
Shedding light on the means and ways to go about whetting the appetite of the needy,
Ishan Shivanand ii says that the true food philanthropy is not when a cheque or money is
issued in any charitable institution’s name. True service of satisfying hunger is getting
involved in the action of distribution from one’s own hands, to ensure that the seva is
done with one’s own physical capacities, indicating 200% merit and engagement.
The real way of marking special occasions is to feed the poor and hungry. The ace
philanthropist, Ishan Shivanand ji says that when a hungry person appeases his hunger
and feels contended, this vibe of contentment that emanates from the hungry is itself
expressed as gratitude to the one serving the food, which is of great spiritual value.
ShivYog ashram is involved in regular activities of feeding the hungry through
community kitchens throughout the world. The essence of every ShivYog workshop is
that it traditionally ends with serving the consecrated food as Prasad to the multitude of
the participants. ShivYog is attributed with food distribution in nation states across the
Globe at any given time.
The endeavours of food distribution drives in ShivYog, has now assumed the proportions
of a movement with seekers around the world getting inspired to alleviate hunger as a
beautiful and positive chain reaction.
The seeds of this movement were sown by His Holiness Avdhoot Shivanand and
Gurumaa three decades back in Rajasthan when the consort of the Master as a humble
servant of the Almighty, under the guidance of the Master used to prepare food herself for
hundreds of children and the needy from villages in hinterland Rajasthan.
As the number of people increased, they had to hire cooks to continue this act. Since then,
they have never looked back when it comes to feeding people and today, lakhs of people
all around the world are fed through various ShivYog events, Bhandara seva, treats, etc.
Seekers who approach ShivYog ashrams with donations in land and money are
encouraged to rather lend their helping hand in a direct way. Ishan Shivanand ji often
guides them to use that money or sell the land for preparing resources for distribution of

“ Philanthropy ” ‐‐‐ Page 258

 
 
free meals to the hungry. Interestingly, Ishan Shivanand ji also says that if those who have
money and land for feeding the hungry are successful in giving food directly to the
beneficiaries, the contributions offered by them reaches him through love and blessings.

Ration Distribution
Monthly ration kit distribution to poor villagers.
The Self-Realized Masters of the olden times had a compassionate inclination for
distributing food in various forms to the needy. Ishan Shivanand ji is no different. He has
adopted numerous villages in Alwar for carrying out charity drives.
The biggest highlight of ShivYog’s ration distribution programmes conducted under the
direct guidance and active involvement of Ishan Shivanand ji is that they transcend the
discriminatory barriers and have emerged as noteworthy unifiers of communities across
religions, castes, creed, sex, age and social status.
The circle of beneficiaries is expanding every day and it is now beginning to include even
those who are not in poverty but lead a frugal life. Ishan Shivanand ji has formed
dedicated volunteer teams comprising dedicated ShivYog seekers which distribute a
specific amount of grains, pulses and cooking oil in a very systematic manner.
Beneficiaries have been enlisted in a database and organized distribution takes place on a
monthly basis. Ishan Shivanand ji is an advocate of the humanitarian view, of Awakened
Masters and Healing Gurus, which says that no person should sleep hungry in one’s
vicinity because the grief of even a single soul does not let the souls in its proximity be
truly at peace.

Serving Animals
Being the embodiment of unconditional love, Ishan Shivanand ji’s mercv and compassion
is inevitably not limited to human beings per se. It extends to the denizens of nature –
animals. Ishan Shivanand ji perceives animals as souls undergoing transformation in the
garb of different living beings distinctly characterized but requiring equal attention, care
and love.
He thus looks at them with equal love and care wanting to feed them at any given
opportunity. Cows to monkeys, birds to swans, squirrels to cats, Ishan Shivanand ji’s
kindness has spared none.
Most notably, Ishan Shivanand ji is an ardent supporter of the bovine upkeep and
resonance. He perceives cows as sacred because cows are animals with evolved
consciousness that are ready to take human birth after their cycle ends.
Ishan Shivanand ji stresses that the human life is something which the consciousness of
every living creature longs to experience, including the Gods and spiritual beings of
different realms. This is because it is only through the human life that one can chose to
ascend towards liberation and the human life is gifted to the soul as the results of
immeasurable good deeds of previous lifetimes. Thus, the cow is considered sacred as it
precedes the coveted human birth.
Close to four decades back, Ishan Shivanand ji’s father His Holiness Avdhoot Shivanand
and mother Gurumaa got together and created a vast open land for grazing of cows with
unlimited supply of choicest fodder or green grass in Alwar, Rajasthan. What started with
a few cows has now transformed into a paradise for the docile creature. Even today, here
hundreds of cows are sent, which are found in pitiable conditions or are at a risk of ending

“ Philanthropy ” ‐‐‐ Page 259

 
 
up in slaughter houses. The special recovery and rehabilitation aid apparatus and systems
evolved by His Holiness for cows ensures that cows which arrive in a feeble, infertile state
turn fertile, lactating and fully healthy within weeks. Total care is taken of the cows – their
hydration, nutrition, seasonal medications. You name it and the ShivYog hermitage has it.
Herds of cows are grazed in total freedom and security. Their gratitude and
compassionate action can be noticed when they rush towards the ShivYog Masters ji to be
in His company whenever he visits this paradise. Many times, on ShivYog Master’s behalf,
Gurumaa and Ishan Shivanand ji frequent this cow heaven and take charge of its overall
function.
More creatures on the radar of ShivYog Master’s mercy and compassion include dogs,
monkeys, birds, fishes, cats etc.
Ishan Shivanand ji’s kindness never misses a chance to share eatables with them. It is
spectacular to witness how comfortable the animals and birds are in his presence.
Recently, Ishan Shivanand ji bought hundreds of caged birds, not to domesticate them as
one would believe, but to release them in the ShivYog Lucknow ashram. He encouraged
the performance of such acts but ensure that the birds are well taken care of and fed well
before they are released as they should be fit enough to take care of themselves, especially
after having become inured to captivity and insecure to soar freely in the sacred space
created by God.

Owning the Disowned

Poverty and pitiable social conditions besides rampant child trafficking has meant mass
displacement and abandonment of children at a very young age. However, the good
Samaritans in today’s age have taken the mantle to create roofs for those who have none,
build secure homes who have never seen one.
Many children are kept at the doorsteps of displacement organizations while some are
picked up from pitiful situations, some others found abandoned after birth either due to
their parents being unable to support them or because they are physically or mentally
challenged. One may contribute one’s energy, time and resources towards such
organisations but it is important to personally monitor any form of charity towards any
cause, to ensure that it reaches the right hands. Only then, can the seva be complete.
There are many other organizations that ShivYog, under ShivYog Master His Holiness
Avdhoot Shivanand’s guidance and Ishan Shivanand ji’s active performance gives support
in form of education, clothes, toys, food, gifts and other daily need comforts like
television, refrigerators, etc, which is personally looked after and delivered by Ishan
Shivanand ji and Gurumaa.
Ishan Shivanand ji who is the hero to them, spends a good deal of time with these
children, sharing jokes, personal experiences, and things of their interests like video
games, movies, games, etc. It is worth mentioning that with everything that he shares with
the children, it slowly ends with a note of wisdom and morality. The children watch Isha
ji’s programs and CDs with great interest. Once, some children in the presence of Ishan
Shivanand ji sang the ShivYog bhajans and delivered them in perfect melody, rhythm,
coordination and lyrical perfection. This showed how deeply they had been watching
ShivYog DVD of the “Rhythm of Universe”. Ishan Shivanand ji sang and danced with
them like a child himself. This is a perfect example of ShivYog teaching to become child-
like to enter the kingdom of God and how unconditional love transcends the boundaries
of age and culture.

Sometimes these children are called to the ashram where food, games and fun-filled
activities are arranged by another “ShivYogi Child” – Ishan Shivanand ji – who becomes
one of them engrossed in making them feel loved and that they belong.
ShivYog Guru assures the children that they are never alone and that they have a father
and brother to always take care of them, be there for them. The children are asked open-
heartedly whatever they wish for and their beloved “Ishan Bhaiya” fulfils all their needs.
Similarly, ShivYog followers and seekers being motivated by such acts of selfless service
have begun identifying and approaching such opportunities in their own locations in their
own capacities in more than 30 countries. ShivYog Ashram often receives letters and mails
of love and gratitude by such children from all over the world, where Ishan Shivanand ji
renders his blessing, protection, support and guidance in the best way possible.

Honouring the Elderly

The changing societal structure of the modern times has resulted in a huge shift in family
values as joint families have given way to nuclear ones and worse still, discarding of
parents when they turn old and helpless rather than caring for them as they cared for their
children in their heydays.
Fortunately, there are a plethora NGOs and social workers aiding the cause of the elderly
and working relentlessly towards helping such disowned lives reach into safer
environments of orphanages and the home for the destitute. ShivYog, under Ishan
Shivanand ji, has with vigour always contributed to the cause of the old. Ishan Shivanand
ji says that the dictum old is gold holds true for citizens as for anything else. “Luckiest is
the home where three generations reside happily under the same roof,” contends Ishan
Shivanand ji.
Gurumaa and Ishan Shivanand ji with blessings from ShivYog Master have taken it upon
themselves to reach out with funds, goodie bags and gift bags on regular visits to Vruddh
Ashrams or Old Age shelters.
The mother-son duo have also made it a routine to visit such places and spend time with
those in dire need of someone to confide themselves in, to share their life with.

School Uniform Distribution

ShivYog Guru His Holiness Avdhoot Shivanand’s significant other, Gurumaa has been a
teacher in her prime. She understands the needs of the downtrodden and underprivileged
better than anyone. Therefore, another area where ShivYog charity drives have forayed
into is clothing the students in government schools who may not have the means to buy
school uniforms. On a quarterly basis, ShivYog seva teams who have prepared a database
of beneficiary schools in remote villages, undertake school uniform distribution drives.
The teams are blessed with the honour of being led by Gurumaa personally on many
occasions.
School uniforms were one of Ishan Shivanand ji’s dreams for needy children. For years, he
gifted children with school uniforms with the noble vision that children must feel proud to
go to school and feel proud to wear the uniforms like children of any other social status or
any other private school.
Earlier, this effort was given wings in a very interesting way. Lengthy meters of cloth used
to arrive periodically and was sent to tailors who stitched these uniforms for both boys

and girls and when ready, the ShivYog Seva team sprung into action. These activities were
more intensified in the year 2014 when more poor schools were identified in villages and
visited thereupon. The winter of 2014 also saw the opportunity for ShivYog to be the
medium for warm clothes to reach to the deprived children. It surely radiated peace when
these children excitedly and warmly smiled in happiness as Gurumaa lead the seva teams,
visiting one school after the other from village to village.

Fully Active Supreme Cosmic Energy Centres

Creating places of worship where all prayers are heard and answered is a Deep Science.
Our Ancestors knew the secret of creating the energy centres on earth which can be
connected to the Divine Cosmic Energy and who so ever sits there with an open heart gets
connected with the divine energy. It is Babaji’s desire to create such energy centres where
people can go in the time of distress and get connected to their real source to energise
themselves and if they regularly visit these centres they will never be distressed.
The Shivlinga is the nirakar swarupa (formless form) of lord Shiva – the Father of the
Universe. Parad or Mercury is said to be the seed (sperm) of Lord Shiva. Ancient
scriptures consider Parad to be one of the most pure and auspicious of all metals. When all
the Sanaskaras (process of purification and activation) are performed properly and then
solidified using the Rasa (herbs) Vigyan – the Parad Shivling become alive. It is said that if
one has to see God with these eyes then, one should have the darshan of Parad Shivling to
mitigate all his sufferings. It takes minimum six months free time for Babaji to purify
mercury and make an Alive Parad Shivling.
The nirakara swarupa of the Goddess – the Mother of the Universe is the Meru (Shree
Chakra Maha Meru). To help the children, the Mother has taken many forms and the
worship of different form brings different results. In all there are sixteen forms (Solah
Nitya) of the Goddess and if one is able to obtain the blessings of all the forms then one
success in every direction be it all kinds of material needs of the Ultimate Spiritual Goal.
The Temple which has the Mother – Goddess Lalita Tripursundari along with all the
Nityas is called the Chakreshwari Temple.
Making and activating Parad Shivling & Chakreshwari Temple is an Ancient Science
that only few Siddhas know now. It is Babaji’s endeavour to create as many energy centres
as possible with Parad Shivling and Chakreshwari Temple installed in them, who so ever
approaches Babaji for this purpose, he lovingly works for months to purify and activate
the mercury and he himself installs the Parad Shivling and the Chakreshwari Temple as a
gift from him to the humanity through these Temples i.e. Cosmic Energy Centres.

Time has come to be awaken again, as like as, we were in the golden period of Nalanda
Biswavidyalay. Irrespective of any religion, lots of respect was there towards all Saints in
the heart & mind of old wise Indians, at that age. As per Babaji, as per “Namokar Mantra”
of Jain Parampara, we should respect all Saints of the world i.e. Sadhu, Sannyasi, Acharya,
Padri, Father of Church, Lama, Fakir, Peer Baba … etc. all. Offer food to them, as per your
own capacity. Leaving all worldly attachments, remaining within their own sadhan-marg,
they are true tapasyi, tejomay upasak of Jyotirmay God. They are very simple. Needs of a
True Saint are absolutely minimum. So, to make them happy is also very simple. Their joy
of tripti after having your offered food or receiving the bheekshaa and their Aashirwad
will always protect you, will lower down the harmful effects of your Prabdh-Bhog. Self
Realised Siddha Yogi Avdhoot Shivanandji always like to visit/invite the respected true
saints, irrespective of any religion, and also like to offer them foods, cloths etc.

Planting Trees, Saving Life, Conserving Nature :
For our own greed, we use to cut off trees and build our own home & the locality for us.
But lots of birds, animals, bees, insects etc. along with lots of sukshma jeev lost their home.
So, we should repay back, through planting of lots & lots of trees. Because of shortage of
trees, nowadays temperature increases so high in most summers. Tree causes seeding for
raining from the clouds. Trees use to keep temperature much low in very hot summer,
through the moisture and its cool shadow. Trees use to absorb CO2 and supply O2. Thus
reduces air pollution. Green atmosphere is also best for eyesight improvement. As per
Babaji, we all should plant at least nine long live trees in the name of own or any loved
ones and should water them regular. Learn to communicate with trees mentally. They all
are living beings. Plants use to listen to Shivyogi. Pray them for giving you blessings.
Nourish them. Their blessings will reduce the bad effects of nine planets. So, plant trees by
yourself and also distribute plants free to your locality or where it needed much more.

Offering Real Inner Joy to the Children of God :

It is said that  only a Child can enter into the Kingdom of God. When a child laughs
with joy, whole Siddha Guru-mandala along with the God, become happy. All children
are children of God. As children come from God, they all are as cute as, as lovable as, like
God. Child is a Child  irrespective of any religion. They are fully pure. Parents and other
all elders use to import all Religious Things in their mind. Due to Past-Life-Sins, so many
couples are there who do not have any child and so many children are orphan. Then, why
doesn’t any couple owned any orphan child and fillup their empty heart with emotions
of Love? Give children lots of love. Let them feel that they are not so helpless & the outer
world in not so cruel, ignorant, selfish… They will be the back-bone of future, when you
will be aged person. Nourish their Little Pure Mind with True Enjoyment and fill it with
Emotion of Humanity. Distribute needy things like foods, school dress, books, toys… etc.
to poor children, as per your own capacity. They may be born as orphan or poor. So what?

Free distribution of Food, Kambal, Ration … etc. to the needy & poor people :
What you will offer to the nature, nature will return back that, multiplied by 1000 times 
as per “Serving the Humanity” principle of ShivYog, what you are going to offer to hungry,
poor and needy people is nothing but the “Emotion of Joy with Satisfaction”. Medium of that
emotion may be your selfless free distribution of food (anna kshetra), kambol, cloths,
ration… etc. etc. Must do this seva, whenever possible, as per your own capacity. Feeding
free to the needy and hungry, along with free distribution of ration, cloth etc. increases
positivity in the collective consciousness of that locality. Poverties throughout the village,
is the outcome of negative collective consciousness. Increase positivity everywhere. After
a certain periods of time, spark of wealth will be shown by them and your wealth will also
be increased. As per regular selfless seva projects like  “Feeding the hungry”; “Serving the
needy through kambol, cloth, ration…etc.”; “Owning the disowned and nourish them with toys,
foods, school dresses, enjoyment, books, proper education… etc.”; “Beti basaao i.e. samuhik vibah”;

Serving Cow and other birds, animals, fishes … :
Babaji loves Cows very very much. As per believe, Cow is the last birth (among 84 lakhs
jeev-yonies) just before the Human-Birth. Cow is an animal of very hi positive energy.
Cow dung is full of Life Force Energy, good bio fertilizer for crop field. Obviously Cow
Milk is an essential thing for all of us. Cows have lots of emotion of love. Give them raw
(i.e. not cooked) Vegetables, Grasses etc. All cows should be cared with lots of love. Thus,
Gaushala should be a Heaven like space for then, as like as Alwar Gaushala of Rajasthan.
Tree, Human & Animal  is the complete cycle, the base of True Humanity in a Human
Mind. Animals, Birds, Fishes… etc. all are the part of Nature. As per “Serving the Nature”
principle of ShivYog, we all should repay back to reduce our “Prakriti Reen”. Most all
animals, birds can understand language of Unconditional Love. Offer food to them with
lots of love, whenever possible for you. In hot summer offer water pot & seeds to birds.
Even putting a sugar cube near ants-line in also a seva. Increase your balance of Punyas.
