Goa Shivir 2014 (English)

Day 4

Sadhaks from Canada welcomes Baba ji with Shiv Yogi matwala.

Baba ji loves the bhajan. Now Baba ji takes the mike. Everyone is dancing with Shiv yogi matwala.

Baba said “I don’t miss India too much abroad. Shiv Yogis over there make me feel at home with same warmth, same food”.

Teachings of the day

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 make 4

Baba ji asks Guru Ma to speak. Huge roar in the auditorium Appreciating the love and respect she receives.

Never hurt anyone says Guru Ma. 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. Guru Ma 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. Shiv Yog 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 shiv yog love & kindness is being gullible and becoming punching bag for others

Sadhna and nishkaam sewa 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 Shiv Yogis.

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 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 Shiv Yogi 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 sewa 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 sewa.

Sadhna and sewa a must every day for all Shiv Yogis

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. Sadhna and charity are only direct solutions he can give. Guru vakyam is param vakyam. The Guru is all knowing. He can see everything. He can’t tell you your mistake directly. You have to surrender.

Baba ji'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 shiv yog 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 Baba ji 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.

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.

Baba ji 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.

 

Goa Shivir 2014 (English)

Day 3 Nutshell 

Namah shivay! Ever since Ishan ji 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 Ishan ji in Goa, in commanded Baba ji, handing over the mic for the second time to Ishan ji to shed a detailed light on all the seven chakras. At first, Ishan ji joyfully opposed but Baba ji had made up his mind. And a ‘sud-shishya’ or the sincere disciple can never cross question the Guru.

Thus the English shivir was lightened up yet again by Ishan ji’s extremely profound words. Even Baba ji 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 Ishan ji, laced with oodles of humour and ‘peppered’ with witty, catchy and profound one-liners stole the heart of all those present.

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 Ishan ji for his daring humour. He did not even leave Baba ji while poking fun at everyone. But Baba ji was equal to the task. He had his own rejoinders ready. The playful contest of words between Baba ji and Ishan ji was one of if not the most entertaining moments of the 2014 Shiv Yog summer in Goa.

Ishan ji brings to the stage his cheeky humour and child-like expressions. Whenever the mic is directed at Ishan ji, a series of smiles and laughter instantly spread through the auditorium. Guru Ma, Geetanjali ji and the sadhaks have thoroughly enjoyed the playful digs of Baba ji on Ishan ji and vice-versa.

To share one of the fun potshots, Ishan ji 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.” Baba ji replied, “Vishuddhi chakraaaaaaaaa……………….”. This sent all present into deep laughter.

 
Salient points of Ishan ji’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, Ishan ji 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. Ishan ji quoted Baba ji, “In life you can either be sensible of senseless. The choice lies with you.” On a lighter note, Ishan ji 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 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, Baba ji 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 sadhna. 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 Shiv Yog 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 chahtey kya 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 Ishan ji, 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.

SEHASTRASAR 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 Sehastrasar chakra is the subtle touch of the Almighty.

Once Ishan ji was about to meditate and Baba ji came smiling to him. Repeated smiles of Baba ji irked Ishan ji and once and for all he asked him not to disturb him even as he is about to sit for meditation. So, Baba ji 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, Ishan ji 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.

Ishan ji 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 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.

Ishan ji’s discourse drew a huge round of applause. The claps did not stop. Baba ji was proud to have a son like him. The breakfast session ended on this note.

But before leaving, Ishan ji said that Baba ji 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 faad 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 faad ke”. To add a trifle more of humour, as he was saying chappar faad ke at the end of every sentence, describing Baba ji, he closed on a mischievous note saying “Now the break will be……………”(implying chappar faad ke). Everyone had a good laugh. But Baba ji clarified that the break will only be of half an hour. This drew more laughter.

Teachings of the day by Baba ji in a nutshell.

Maintaining that time is not a healer, rather it is merely a tool to forget the incident, Baba ji 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.

Shiv Yog 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.

Baba ji 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.

Baba ji urged all Shiv Yogis to remove the ambiguous terms like “May be”, “I feel so”, “Perhaps” from their vocabulary since these phrases denote uncertainty and a Shiv Yogi 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 Baba ji, 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 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. Baba ji showcased this using a crystal dowser.

Day 2 (Nutshell)

Namah shivay! At last the moment arrived! Finally, Ishan ji 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.

Ishan ji enlightened the sadhaks on how sympathy was a negative trait and that every Shiv Yogi 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 Geetanjali ji 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. Ishan ji 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 Geetanjali ji 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.

Ishan ji 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 sewa.

This experience Ishan ji shared during the Q & A session of Baba ji with the sadhaks.

Time for the summary of teachings for the day.

Lending heapful of spiritual and behavioural advice to the parents of young children, Baba ji said on the second day of the English version of the Kundalini sadhna 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 Baba ji, stating that materialization of a career for children by the parents amounts to karmic interference.

For those looking to conceive divine children, Baba ji 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. Baba ji 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 flow of energy over a continuous period causes the creation of a physical form. Baba ji held that the saying by the elders in India that “You become what you think about all day long” was absolutely bang-on.

Baba ji 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 sadhna, 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.

Baba ji suggested an interesting method to get rid of the bad deeds if a person decided to do the sadhna 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, Baba ji 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 sewa 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 sewa 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 Baba ji 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.
