Prati Prasav Sadhana

When a child is born it is prasav. Prati-prasav means you are again born in the memory, you go back to the very birth, the trauma when you were born, and you live it again. Remember, you don't remember it, you live it, you relive it again. this is a very, very significant process, the process of prati-prasav.

It is the process of reabsorbing back to the cause, bringing effect back to the cause; the process of involution. If there is something, some trouble, some problem, then you go back to the original source from where it started. Because you can go on trying to solve the problem, but unless you go

to the roots, it cannot be solved. Effects cannot be solved; they have to be forced back to the cause. It is just as if a tree is there and you don't want the tree, but you go on cutting the branches, the leaves, and again more branches sprout. You cut one leaf, three leaves come. You have to go to the roots.

For example, a man comes who is afraid of women. Many people come to me. They say that they are afraid of women, very afraid. Because of that fear, they cannot make a meaningful relationship, they cannot relate; the fear is always there. When you are in fear, the relationship will be contaminated by the

fear. You will not be able to move totally. You will relate halfheartedly, always afraid: the fear of being rejected, the fear that the woman may say no. Remembering is different. You can remember, you can sit silently, but you remain the man you are: you remember that you were a child and your mother hit

you hard. That wound is there, but this is remembrance. You are remembering an incident as if it happened to somebody else. To relive it is pratiprasav. To relive it means that you become the child again. Not that you remember; you become the child again, you live it again. The mother is hitting you not in

your memory, the mother hits you again right now: the wound, the anger, the antagonism, your shrinking back, the rejection, and your reaction, as if the whole thing is happening again. This is prati-prasav. The very root cause can be dissolved. You have to be more aware. Live life with alert ness: that is

the whole message. Don't live like a sleepy man, or a drunkard living in a hypnosis. Be conscious of whatsoever you are doing. Do it, but do it with full consciousness. Suddenly you will see many things disappear. The cause is always unalertness, unawareness, avidya. Become aware, and every. thing

disappears. Method to begin with: Daily in the night while going to bed for sleep go back in a flashback of what all has happened throughout the day , like before going to sleep you were having dinner , before that you were watching TV, before that you were driving back from office to home etc ,keep on going back just as in case of rewind button when you are playing something, till you get to the point when you got up in the morning.After some days of practice, you will start going back farther into your past ,correcting it.

SHAKTI SADHANA

( Maha Shodashi Sadhana Method) srIm‘- Meditate on the a immoveable golden hue engulfing the whole world. ‗hrIm‘- Meditate on a small motion like liquefaction in this golden hue and its movement. ‗klIm‘- the molten gold will now condense into a red ball in the sodasantha( six inch above the head orifice – the crown) ‗aim‘- this red ball will now transform into a pure white light and will start to descend on to the top of the head. ‗sauh‘- this

white light takes the form of Sri Guru at the dvadasanta (two spaces above the crown), this is the place of the Sri Gurupaduka ‗Om‘ – The guru now pierces the orifice on the crown and descends into the body of the disciple ‗hrIm‘- The Guru now will reach the mid-eyebrow centre (agyna cakra) and activate it.

This will signify the thought process and deep inner meditation by the disciple on the grace of Sri Guru ‗srIm‘- The Guru will reach the heart centre (anahata cakra) and will untie a knot there. This knot can be visualized as akin to the shoe lace knot which is opened by pulling at the ends. The removal

of illusion (beda buddhi) by the Supreme grace is indicated here. ‗ka-5‘ Thus when knot is untied, visualize a cover which was over the body being dropped from the head, so the Face is uncovered now, which is the face of Sri Lalitha devi ‗ha-6‘ The cover further drops down from neck to navel visualize the body being transformed into that of Sri Lalitha devi, the four hand holding the noose, goad, sugarcane bow and five flowers as arrows. ‗sa-4‘- Further the cover drops to below the feet, that part also gets transformed into that of Sri Lalitha Devi ‗sauh‘- Now the inner Guru who has graced this transformation

will merge with this body of the deity Sri Lalitha devi and will pick up the cover which has fallen down, this will signify the Individual ego –the cause of this cover. ‗aim‘- visualize this cover being transferred on to a white light, while being hurled out. ‗klIm‘- Let this white light hit the sodasanta

and get transformed into a red hue ‗hrIm‘ – Let this red hue disperse into the world after being transformed into a molted golden hue ‗srIm‘- Let this golden hue engulf the whole world including this body of SriLalitha/Sri Guru ( which was previously the individual) and remain so for ever. This is a very powerful meditation technique, so please try this very slowly. Only once per day visualization at the initial level is recommended.

PRANA SADHANA

Sukh Purvaka=={ Sit in Padmasana or Siddhasana. Close the right nostril with your right thumb. Inhale(Puraka) through the left nostril till

you count 3 Oms slowly. Imagine that you are drawing thePrana along with the atmospheric air. In course of practice, you will actually feel that you are drawing Prana. Then close the left nostril also with the little and ring fingers of your right hand.Retain the breath till you count 12 Oms. Send the

current down to the Muladhara Chakra. Feel that the nerve-current is striking against the Muladhara Chakra and awakening Kundalini. Remove theright thumb and Rechaka (exhale) through the right nostril till you count 6 Oms. Again inhale through the rightnostril, retain and exhale through the left nostril as

stated above. All the above six processes constitute one Pranayama. To start with do 6 Pranayamas in the morning and 6 in the evening.Gradually increase it to 20 Pranayamas for each sitting. The ratio of inhalation, retention andexhalation is 1:4:2. You should gradually increase the period of Kumbhaka.}

Be seated on the Asana that is neither high nor low, with your body erect and in an easy posture. Place your hands on the lap. Fix your gaze on the tip of the nose (in order to fix the mind). Purify the tracks of Prana by Puraka, Kumbhaka and Rechaka, and then again in the reverse way (i.e., first breathe in

by the left nostril, with the right nostril closed by the tip of the thumb, then close the left nostril by the tips of the ring finger and the little finger and retain the breath in both the nostrils. Then remove the tip of the thumb and breathe out through the right nostril. Reverse the process by

breathing in through the right nostril, then retaining the breath in both the nostrils and letting out the breath through the left nostril.) Practise this Pranayama gradually with your senses controlled.

'Aum' with the sound of a bell extends all over from Muladhara upwards. Raise the 'Aum' in the heart by means of Prana (twelve fingers high) as if it were

the thread of a lotus-stalk. There let Bindu, the fifteenth vowel sound, be added to it. Thus practise Pranayama accompanied by the Pranava reciting the letter ten times. Continue the practice three times a day, and within a month you shall be able to control the vital air. The lotus of the heart has its stalk upwards and the flower downwards (and it is also closed, like the inflorescence with bracts of the banana flower). Meditate on it, however, as facing upwards and fullblown with eight petals and with pericap. On the pericap, think of the sun, the moon, and fire one after another. First meditate on all the limbs. Then let the mind withdraw the senses from their objects. Then draw the concentrated mind completely towards Me, by means of Buddhi (intellect). Then give up all other limbs and concentrate on one thing only, My smiling face. Do not meditate on anything else. Then withdraw the concentrated mind from that and fix it on the Akasa (ether). Give up that also and being fixed on Me (as Brahman) think of nothing at all. You shall see Me in Atman, as identical with all Atmans, even as light is identical with another light. The delusions about objects, knowledge and action shall then completely disappear.

SHAMBHAVI SADHANA

Those who practise Pranayama, can impart their Prana for healing diseases. Theycan also recharge themselves with Prana in no time by practising Kumbhaka.

Never think that youwill be depleted of your Prana by distributing it to others. The more you will give, the more it willflow to you from the cosmic source (Hiranyagarbha). That is the law of Nature. Do not become aniggard. If there is a rheumatic patient, gently shampoo his legs with your hands. Connect

yourself with Hiranyagarbha or the cosmic Prana and imagine thatthe cosmic energy is flowing through your hands towards the patient. The patient will at once feelwarmth, relief and strength. You can cure headache, intestinal colic or any other disease by massageand by your magnetic touch. When you massage the liver, spleen, stomach or any other portion ororgan of the body you can speak to the cells and give them orders:—―O cells! Discharge yourfunctions properly. I command you to do so.‖ They will obey your orders. They too have gotsubconscious intelligence. Repeat your Mantra when you pass your Prana to others. Try a fewcases. You will gain competence. You can have extraordinary power of concentration, strong will and a perfectly healthy,strong body by practising Pranayama regularly. You will have to direct the Prana consciously tounhealthy parts of the body. Suppose you have a lung problem. Sit on

Padmasana. Close your eyes.Do Sukha Purvaka Pranayama. Direct the Prana to the region of the lung. Concentrate your mindthere. Fix your attention to that area. Imagine that Prana is interpenetrating all the tissues and thecells of the lobes of the lung and doing its curative, regenerating and constructive work there. Faith,imagination, attention and interest play a very important part in curing diseases by taking Prana tothe diseased areas. During exhalation

imagine that the morbid impurities of the lung are thrown out.Repeat this process 12 times in the morning and 12 times in the evening. Sluggishness of lung willvanish in a few days. This is a drugless treatment. This is nature-cure. You can take the Prana to anypart of the body during the Pranayama and cure any kind of disease, be it acute or chronic. Try onceor twice in healing yourself. Your convictions will grow stronger. Why do you cry like the lady whois

crying for ghee when she has butter in her hand, when you have a cheap, potent, easily availableremedy or agent ‗Prana‘ at your command at all times! Use it judiciously. When you advance inyour concentration and practice, you can cure many diseases by mere touch. In the advanced stages,many diseases are cured by mere will.

SADHANA

This is known as ―absent treatment‖ also. You can transmit Prana through space to yourfriend who is living at a distance. He should have a receptive mental attitude. You must feelyourself en rapport (in direct relation and in sympathy) with the people whom you heal with thisDistant Healing method.You can fix

hours of appointment with them through correspondence. You can write tothem: ―Get ready at 8 p.m. Have a receptive mental attitude. Lie down in an easychair. Close youreyes. I shall transmit my Prana‖.PRANAYAMASay mentally to the patient, ‗I am transmitting a supply of Prana (vital force)‘. Do

Kumbhaka when you send the Prana. Practise rhythmical breathing also. Have a mental image thatthe Prana is leaving your mind, passing through space, and is entering the system of the patient. ThePrana travels unseen like the wireless (radio) waves and flashes like lightning across space. ThePrana that is coloured by the thought of the healer is projected outside. You can re-charge yourselfwith Prana by practising Kumbhaka (breath Retention). This requires long, steady and regular practice.

TRATAKA AS A MEANS OF SADHANA

Trataka‘ is steady gazing at a particular point or object without winking. it is mainly intended for developing concentration and mental focusing. Gaze on a black dot on a white wall or draw a black mark on a piece of white paper andhang it on the wall in front of you. Draw the pictureOm(!) on a piece of

paper and have it before your seat. Do Trataka onit. Lie down on an open terrace and gaze at a particular bright star or on the full moon. Aftersome time, you will see different colours of lights. Again some time later, you will see only aparticular colour throughout, and all other surrounding stars will disappear. When you gaze at themoon, you will see only a bright moon on a black background. At times you will see a huge mass oflight all around you. When

gazing becomes more intense, you can also see two or three moons ofthe same size and at times you cannot see any moon at all even though your eyes may be wide open. Select at random any place in the open sky in the morning or evening hours and gaze at itsteadily. You will get new inspirations. Trataka at the space between the two eyebrows or at the tip of the nose.Even during walking, some persons do Trataka at the tip of the nose. Trataka at the inner Chakras,

(Padmas). Muladhara, Anahata,Ajna and Sahasrara are the important centres for Trataka. Keep a ghee-lamp before you and gaze at the flames. Some astral entities give Darshan through the flames. Trataka on the sun. It requires the help of an experienced man bytheir side. They begin to gaze on the rising sun and after gradual practice they do Trataka on the suneven in the midday. They get some special Siddhis (psychic powers) by this practice. All are not fitfor this Sadhana. All the first 9 exercises will suit everyone and they are harmless. The last one,sun-gazing should not be attempted until you get the help of an experienced man.

BRAHMA OR SOHAM SADHANA

Sit in Padmasana or Siddhasana . Watch the flow of breath. You will hear the sound "SOHAM", 'So' during inhalation and 'Ham' during exhalation. SOHAM means 'I AM HE.' The breath is reminding you of your identity with the Supreme Soul. You are unconsciously repeating Soham 21,600 times daily at the rate of 15 Soham per minute. Associate the idea of Purity, Peace, Perfection, Love, etc., along with Soham. Negate the body while repeating the Mantra and identify yourself with the Mantra, the Atman or the Supreme Soul.
