Why does Baba ji say “Tum Chahtey Kya Ho” all the time?


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 Baba ji lays so much stress on the pet phrase of his which goes "tum chahtey kya 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 Shiv Yog 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. Baba ji 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.

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 Sehastrar chakra (or crown chakra).

IV) This pyramid begins at the base with "tum chahtey kya ho?"


10. So as Shiv Yogis 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 AND 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.

Quaries of Sadhaks-----Part 4

Q. 1 I shall be grateful if you could tell us something about babaji's birthplace, parents and childhood.thankyou.

ANSWER: 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 Ma 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 Ma always talk about Dadi ma. She was the one who triggered every change in him, she was the one Babaji and Ma did a lot of sewa 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 and siddhas. Maybe 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. 2 Babaji, I have read about the approaching year 2012. As guided by you, I am doing Sadhna 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.

ANSWER:  Namah shivay
Just continue the sadhna, as your energy will increase your family members’ energy will increase with you.
Lots of blessings Namah shivay

Q. 3 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.... but Shanmukaji help when we were not initiated.
I take pledge to do tree plantation and serve needy unconditionally
Guruma, GuruDeva, Please forgive us.
we offer gratitudes and lot of unconditional Love.

ANSWER:  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 You Tube 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. And 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 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. 4 namah shivay babaji!!!!!!!!!
Here is my utterly imp query!!!
There are two communities;1)advaitya which says everything is fixed or destined!!!!!!!!!!!
and 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 zero;s 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 advaitya 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!!!!!!!!and I feel I should follow ahm brahma asmi 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???

ANSWER: Namah shivay
Non judgment, unconditional love and sadhna.
As my Babaji says, “aapko dhyao, apko bhajo, apme apke ram ap hoker rehta hain. And if he is in this aap then he is also in the aap in front.
Continue the sadhna

and also would attain the kingdom forever.

Yeka kale paden nithyam, maha papa vinasanam,
Dwi kale paden nithyam Dana dhanya samanvitha,
Tri kalam paden nithyam Maha shathru vinasanam,
Maha Lakshmir Bhaven nithyam Prasanna, varada Shubha.

If this is read daily once, great sins committed would be destroyed,
If this is read twice daily, you would be blessed with wealth and grains, If this is read thrice daily, your great enemies would be destroyed, And the goddess Maha Lakshmi would be with you, with happiness, with blessings and with good tidings.

Queries of shadhaks-- Part 3

Q. 1. 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 swaadhyay vocal chanting daily with emotions. Just even that done perfectly will lead you to the 4th Dimension. Bless you

Q. 2  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 shivaya.

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 fulfill 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. 3 I am still waiting for my miracle...!!!!

A. Namah shivay do the meditation without expecting (nishkam) anything. Do it for your purity. Follow Shiv Yog in all its essence. Remove the karmic layers everything else will follow.

Q.4 Thank you very much Ishaan 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, Namaha Shivaya.

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 sadhna you will be safe everywhere you go.
Blessings from Ma and Baba ji

Q. 5 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 Nikita ji take a few deep breaths before the sadhna. Continue the deep breaths in the initial part of the meditation. Connect to the Guru and sincerely seek that your sadhna flows for an hour. By going deep in meditations will power increases automatically as the divine connection is made. Blessings.

Q.6 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 sadhna, 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 sadhna. Blessings. Never leave your sadhna. The Guru mandala rewards sadhaks which e...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. 7 Namah shivaya babaji please advise me as to how can improve my financial conditions?

A. Namah shivay does sewa 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 sadhna.

Q. 8 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. 9 Namah Shivay. Could you please guide me to increase the sitting capacity in lotus position (sidhaasna)? 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 Shiv Yog 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 sadhna 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 sadhna. No problem. Stop the sadhna 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.
