Siddhyogi Shree Vibhakar Pandya
A Scientist Master (Guru) of Spiritual Science
Siddhyogi Shree Vibhakarbhai Pandya is a science graduate. In
this avatar , naturally the yoga started at the tender age of three years.
In this tender age, the mystic experiences started to him. He had astral
vision from birth. So several tantrikas, kapalikas started contacting him.
At the age of 12 year, his beloved younger sister Gita died suddenly. He
could not accept the death of her beloved sister. He asked all elder
relatives, “Where did my sister go?” They replied, “To the house of God.”
He again asked, “Why did God called my sister only? I am elder than my
sister. My turn should be first than the same of her.” But all elders
seemed to be ignorant. They could not answer. He could not accept that
an unknown force can snatch the life of a person. As Newton had a
question, “Why does an apple fall to the ground? Why does it not go
upward?” Such question made him work for discovery of the law of
gravitation. Similarly guruji had the question, "What is after the death?”
With such very keen quest at heart, he visited several places in
India and Nepal, in the search of truth. During his journey across India
and Nepal he contacted many saints, sages and mahatmas . Whoever
told him to assist about meeting her sister, he stayed with such gurus for
weeks, months and practiced yogic sadhana under direct guidance. As a
basic student of science he studied all the aspects of life. He analyzed
them scientifically. Not only studied, but he also practiced all the aspects
of yoga-science under direct guidance of the relevant gurus. After these
studies, he did not stop with his own study and application for his own
cause. He started an integrated scientific method of sadhana (the
method to self realization ). This unique course-15 programmes consist
of 6 - years duration. Guruji gives direct guidance to each disciples
during the course of meditation and yoga. He arranges the meditation
programmes in India at many places . In his programmes he gives very
crux of his 40 years of experience.
Any how, very little can be described through words about such a great
personality, we recommend to disciples about directly meeting him and
learning the various aspects of life .
Balayogi Vishalbhai
The Master (Guru) of Spiritual Science
Guruji is a Siddhyogi master. He invited one of best soul from astral
world and gave birth to Balayogi Vishalbhai. At the time of birth even his
kundalini was already awakened. Guruji honed up his spiritual skills
and trained him to be a siddhyogi master. He like guruji blesses
sadhakas with shaktipat-diksha and arranges several programmes
designed by guruji. By education, he finished MBA in marketing. Guruji
is a science graduate. So guruji showered all practical knowledge of
Siddhyoga to Vishalbhai. Vishalbhai also dedicated himself and worked
hard to be a link in siddhyoga tradition.

KUNDALINI
CHAPTER - 1
We all are desirous of ethereal peace, the peace that abounds in Heavens.
We also wish to enjoy life to the fullest measure. We wish to appease our senses
in uncontrollable manner, being deeply submerged in sensuous pleasures. Yet we
desire MOKSHA, deliverance, liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Our
desires run wild. Without moving a limb we want all the goodies of Earth and
Heavens on our side.
Common man dreams thus. He forgets his duties and shuns right to work.
Yet he places all the blame of unfulfilled desires on society and Creator. Even in
adverse circumstances his dreams run amok to fulfilment of his sense pleasures.
The slave to sensual pleasures does not care to see where this path leads to. If
and when he realises it, he is too deeply mired to change his course.
Physical, Mental and Spiritual purity alone can lead us towards our
ultimate goal of deliverance from the cycle of birth and death. Yoga and
Meditation show us the path towards liberation. This is the path of peace; the
peace called BRAHMANAND SAHODAR (The twin brother of heavenly bliss) can
be known by personal experience alone, even describing it would be a futile
exercise. Yet the peace that descends on the blessed ones, can be recognised by
others as well, for it has the distinct symptoms of equanimity, an active
indifference to events that surround them. Gita extolls the virtue as " Be the same
or behave in same way, whether it be happiness or grief, victory or defeat, profit
or loss situation". Saint Kabir explains it differently. He says "My Lord, I have
nothing in me that doesnot belong to you; so to give back what belongs to you, I
lose nothing". Those of us who contemplate on such virtues, those of us who
accept these truths, the axioms, alone attain the bliss, the peace.
There are many paths to reach a particular destination. Also, there are
many approaches to reach a defined goal, so are there numerous paths to reach
God. Kundalini awakening is a simple method to attain bliss. This is a half way
station, which can be easily developed to reach the ultimate. Under the guidance
of a Capable Guru, this is possibly the fatest means to progress in the desired
direction.
The presiding diety of this process, Bhagawati (Goddess) Kundalini resides
between the third and fourth vertebrae of our back-bone or vertebral column
(spinal cord). There also is established the icon (Linga) of Lord Shankara; the
spouse of the Goddess, Bhagawati Kundalini, in the form of a serpent, makes
three and a half coils around this Shiv Linga (the icon of Lord Shankara). Under
normal circumstances the serpent form of Bhagawati Kundalini is at peace and is
restful.
Particular music, meditation, intense activity of particular kind, death of
near & dear ones, unexpected loss in business or mental shock may arouse
Kundalini and awaken it. This sudden and unplanned awakening of Kundalini
may provide evidence in the form of celestial music or certain visions but these
remain transitory and impermanent. Guru's grace alone can bless the seeker with
permanency. On the other hand, the sudden uncontrolled awakening may result
in physical and mental deprivation.
A complex nerve system dominates the spinal cord. The principal among
them are the Sushumna, Ida and Pingala Nadis. Whereas the Sushumna Nadi
runs in the centre of the spinal cord, the Ida moves from the left and the Pingala
from the right. The Ida and Pingala interlace each other, around the Sushumana,
as they move up the spinal column.
If the Kundalini, for some reason, enters the Pingala, then clairvoyance
makes the person visualise many of his past lives (incarnations). Many a times, a
person may lose his mental balance due to such visions, as he doesnot have
ready explanation for these queer phenomenon- strange and difficult to
understand.The aim of this book is to spread awareness about various
phenomenon that may accompany Kundalini awakening and how to get over
them. The book also aims at teaching the correct methodology to be followed, the
processes and procedures for propitiating Kundalini and making it beneficient for
us.
The picture of Yogini (Ascetic: Feminine gender) Kundalini shows a triangle
of Shiva (the Munificent and Benevolent) on top and an inverted triangle of Jiva
(Spouse of Shiva) at the base. The union and fusion of Shiva and Jiva (Kundalini)
creates the ultimate bliss and provides Self-realization. Thus when the inverted
triangle of Muladhara or Root Chakra from end of spine, ascends to meet
Shastrar or Crown or Coronal Chakra on top of the head, self realization results.
In the picture there appears a break between the Manipur or Navel Chakra and
the Anahata or Heart or Cardiac Chakra in the Sushumna Nadi. This
discontinuity in Sushumna is a major obstacle in the path of seekers. In the
language of Yoga, this is the ocean of desires or Bhavsagar. Those who transcend
this ocean are the saints. Stating otherwise, only saints qualify to cross this
vicious ocean with their selflessness of this discontinuity in sushumna. It is
related to severing of umbilical cord of the child during birth. It is said that if the
umbilical cord is severed within ten minutes of child birth, then the physical body
and astral body get separated. However, if the umbilical cord is cut after the
pulsations fully cease, which takes almost ten minutes, then the new born
retains memories of his previous births. These memories remain with the child
upto the age of seven to twelve years, after which these are forgotten, in any case.
This procedures makes the child intelligent and there is no gap induced between
his physical and astral bodies. Such children are fearless. They are self confident
and have the courage and strength to face difficulties and adversities squarely.
They are less saddened by their re-entry into our world.
This distance between the physical and the astral disturbs the balance
between the Ida, Pingla and Sushumna. The equilibrium is lost due to certain
mental afflictions or shocks and many variety of other reasons. Though slight
imbalance persists in almost every human being, it is the gross imbalance that
we have to be wary of. The imbalance may becomes vicious and increase
uncontrollably. This may lead to afflictions of dreaded disease like cancer.
However, if these imbalances are corrected somehow, then possibility of and even
the diseases themselves can be removed.
Man doesnot utilise even ten percent of the powers, granted to him by
nature, during his life time. Even psychologists and medical experts agree that we
donot make use of even ten percent of our mental faculties. Even a man working
twenty hours a day may be utilising barely ten percent of God's gift to us. This
obviously means that ninety percent of this gift goes unutilised. Therefore, we
must explore ways and means to utilise this big store of energy and power. We
must benefit from this big store house of unaccessed prowess. We must unearth
these powers and find answers so as to be able to put such energies to the benefit
of ourselves and, therefore, the mankind.
After the existence of Kundalini was discovered, efforts were made to
awaken it. Modifications were made in the fields of Mantra, Tantra, Hathayog,
Jnanyoga, Bhaktiyoga and Mantrayoga. Research and deep study in various
fields and numerous practitioners pointed at the eternal truth that the source of
life or soul resides in all living beings and its various attributes grow from birth to
death. The soul makes progress from one incarnation to the other. Even without
any Worship (Pooja) or chanting of hymns or meditation on chosen gods, a person
can attain Moksha eternal bliss or deliverance after one million years. After this
period the individual soul (Atma) merges into the universal (Paramatma).
However, if the human chooses the path of worship (Pooja) & chanting of hymns
or meditations, he can attain Moksha in a span of three lives. We all wish a still
speedier path to deliver us, -within one life, this present incarnation itself. This is
a common desire. However, we need not despair. Lord Krishna in the song
celestial 'Gita' has assured that these who practice yoga with the intent of seeking
deliverance, if they are not able to reach their desired goal in this life, He will give
them rebirth (next incarnation) in such families, where they can complete their
course.
... ... ...
Care and caution is of utmost importance in the field of yoga. We know that the
accelerator and brakes in vehicles provide us speed and safety respectively.
Similarly, we have to approach our accelerator and brakes in the field of yoga and
meditation. A novice cannot be permitted to drive fast, nor is it permissible to
increase speed without caution in busy streets. The damages are more at higher
speeds and it is easier to control the vehicles moving at slower speeds. We can
compare the losses due to head - long collision between two buses approaching
each other at very high speeds in a mountainous region to that of two bullock
cards hitting each other in a plain area. The degree of devastation in former case
may be beyond compare to the latter.
The young practitioners of yoga may not accept this allegory. They may not
understand the concept of speed and speed control. However, this is of utmost
importance and warns us against taking short cuts or attempting exercises
without proper guide and guidance. Therefore, the importance of Guru and guide
is never lessened in the field of Sadhana (meditation) or yoga. It is natural for us
to desire that we reach the top rung of ladder of Sadhana or reach the pinnacle of
yoga mountain in a jiffy - in shortest time and with least effort. First, this is not
possible. However, should one take the difficult course of Sadhana and punish
himself but without proper guidance, it will increase possibilities of damages to
the practitioner multifold.
Impressions and character developed during the past lives are imprinted on
various Chakras. These habits get carried forward from one incarnation to the
other. For instance, the Mooladhar has impressions of four to eight of our
incarnations, where as on the Swadhisthan the impression of six to ten
incarnations are imprinted.
The state of Samadhi can be reached only after the Kundalini has been
awakened. In this process of reaching Samadhi, one may take three to eight years
after his Kundalini has been awakened. Samadhi is the state of self-realization.
This is our ultimate goal, the aim of the exercise, where the Jiva and Shiva merge
into each other. However, to reach this state the blessings of an accomplished
yogi (Siddhayogi) as Guru, are quintessential. The yogi spends his energies in
unravelling the secrets of nature and utilises this knowledge for the betterment of
mankind. The life of yogi is dedicated for the good of others. This is aptly
described by various poets. Saint Kabir expresses feelings of the saints as-
"I have nothing of mine in myself; whatever I have is Yours (O! Lord). So,
what do I lose by giving you back which belongs to you."
Another couplet likens lakes and trees to saints for their selflessness-
"Trees donot eat their own fruits, the lakes do not drink their own water. It
is for the welfare and good of others that saints (come down from heavens
and )take the human form".
This entire Universe is flooded with life force. It is like an ocean of life.
However, the priciple of magnetism applies here in full measure. As one magnet
influences another magnet coming in its field of force, similarly the lines of force
of life are present in all living (and non-living) beings. Therefore, when two
humans, a human and an animal or human and a bird come within the field of
force of the other, their magnetism, the aura get modified. It either increases or
decreases or gets altered in some other way. Though this process takes place in
various ways, its visible impact depends on the power, the life - force of these
objects. Mostly, the changes in life force become apparent if the two living beings
come within a meter or so (three and a half feet) of each other. In these cases, the
life energy seems to flow from the higher potential to the lower potential, following
an obvious law of physics. The object with higher life force seems to give it away
to the object with lesser life force and this flow of life force becomes the principle
of transfer of energy, the Shaktipat. It is similar to the heat being given away by a
hotter object to the cooler body.
If we see life and Universe from the scientific stand point, then we know
that after every delusion (PRALAYA), the JIVA reverts to its original state. In other
words, whether or not the JIVA makes any effort towards Salvation, he will merge
into the Absolute at Delusion, a phenomenon that occurs every million years.
There is no distinction made by nature at this point, whether or not the JIVA
makes any conscious effort to attain MOKSHA or self realization. After this fixed
duration every JIVA attains the Ultimate even without POOJA (worship), chanting
of hymns or selfless actions. However, this is a long path full of pains. Short-cuts
exist. It a human makes persistent efforts to attain MOKSHA, he after treading
the path of YOGA or POOJA or chants can reach the goal in three lives, three
incarnations, Even this path is torturous. There exists a unique aerial route to
Salvation. By sitting besides a Siddhayogi (Upanishad), receiving his blessings by
abject surrender, the seeker can attain MOKSHA in a short period of three to
eighteen years. We can compare the above three approaches to crawling, walking
and flying. A journey that may take months for a person walking on foot, may
take few days if he takes a car or bus, and few hours only if he flies by air. It is
for us to decide the route and preference, and act accordingly.
The aerial route to salvation is traversed through SHAKTIPAT. Lord
Krishna, the Hindu God, the author of song celestial "Shreemad Bhagwat Gita"
was called YOGESHWAR, the Lord of YOGA. He has described various Yoga-s in
"Bhagwat Gita". He has given enough indications as to how yoga should be
approached and the benefits thereof. By transfer of energy (SHAKTIPAT) he
granted divine vision to Arjun, who then could see the VIRAAT-RUPA and
VISHWA RUPA of the Lord. The same technique of SHAKTIPAT has come to us,
protected and preserved by tradition.
SOME GUIDELINES FOR COMMON MAN
1. If a person has been Yogi in the previous incarnation, then his Kundalini in the
present life can awaken even without following the rigorous path of Sadhana
etc. His body may start trembling even without any external cause like fear
etc. At times when such a person approaches a temple or a religious place, his
body may start trembling uncontrollably. To the ignorant it may appear as if a
ghost or other unearthly body has entered his body; which is not true.
2. Occasionally some persons experience a thunder-sound rising up the spinal
cord and the head becomes heavy. To others, the body starts swaying without
any effort or reason, a feeling of uneasiness persists and (at times) the heart
beat becomes fast. These may also be result of Kundalini awakening.
3. A Yogi of past life may see Lord Ganesh, water body, a serpent or Linga, the
icon of Lord Shiva, in his dreams. Coloured icons appearing in dreams are
indicative of imminent Kundalini awakening. In such cases there is a fair
possibility of Kundalini awakening within a period of three to six months.
To reap the benefits of Kundalini awakening and keep its harmful effects at
bay, such person should contact a Siddhyogi at the very earliest.
If a person repeatedly gets such experiences, then whether or not he
believes in religion, he will soon be attracted to yoga. There is a Strong possibility
of his Kundalini awakening. To enable himself to understand the implications of
this awakening, to control it and benefit from it and to direct it to rise inside the
Sushumna, he must urgently seek the guidance and blessings of a Siddhayogi.
The properties of life force (PRANSHAKTI) are similar to that of electrical
energy. In a manner similar to electrical energy, the PRANSHAKTI also gets
attracted to earth. The earthing of these energies drains the source completely. To
prevent waste of electrical energy in this manner, we provide the system with
electrical insulators. Therefore, we see all electrical wires supported by insulators
in transmission lines. In case of cables, the electrical conductors are fully covered
by insulating sheaths. In a similar manner if we wish to get the best out of
PRANSHAKTI, we would have to look for life-force insulators, so that this life force
can be utilised in development of life energy and spirituality. One of the major
devices required during practice of meditation is an insulating seat (Aasan).
During spiritual practices we raise our life -force and if it is conserved then it will
result in spiritual development. On the other hand if the life force is not insulated
from being earthed, then it will be earthed. Such activity can be compared to
collection of water from a distant source in a desert and then let the pot break
even before the water is drunk. Many ancient books of Hindus make a mention of
this fact. One of the books Soundarya Lahiri provides geometrical details of how
an Aasana should be manufactured.
However, a deeper study reveals that the Aasana should cater for the two
types of charges, the negative and the positive charge. In fact, the sages in days of
yore used deer skin as a seat. However, the deer skin was laid over dried 'KUSHA'
grass, the common lawn grass. Some books have recommended dried paddy
stalks as base. Many books recommend a silk cloth to be put over the deer skin.
After detailed study Siddhayog Sadhan Mandal has offered a solution to this
complex problem. They manufacture the Aasan with the insulating jute cloth as
base. This is coated by plastic material to give it long life. Over the plastic coated
jute cloth, a woolen cloth is placed. Wool retains the negative charges of
PRANSHAKTI. A cover of silk cloth is provided on top, to retain the positive
charges of PRANSHAKTI.
Siddhayog Sadhan Mandal Trust further puts a Lakshmi Yantra, by
tailoring a particular design on it. This Aasana is given certain initiation by GURU
so that it becomes more effective. As the Aasana retains the positive and negative
charges of the pupil, it helps him in subsequent sittings by raising the datum of
initial charge. As these charges are peculiar and relate to person using it, it is
advised that the Sadhak (pupil) should use his own-exclusive - Aasana only. This
will accelerate the process of Kundalini awakening.
There is a major difference between Prana Shakti and the electrical energy.
Whereas the Prana Shakti is intelligent and therefore, discriminatory, the
electrical energy is unintelligent and, therefore, non discriminatory. To clarify
further, a live wire whether touched by an elderly person or an innocent child will
give shock to both of them. It doesnot distinguish between the knowledgeable and
innocent or between old and young. Pranshakti, however, is our companion for
infinite incarnations. It has been with us all along in our past lives. It is fully
knowledgeable. It provides us with intelligence. It knows that which part of the
body is ailing. Therefore, when this life force awakens and enters Sushumna, it
first undertekes to remove various diseases from our body.
The question now arises is that how do we come to know whether and from
which part of the body is it trying to remove the disease. The following are some
of the indications telling us that the Prana Shakti is at work; it is attempting to
remove the ailments.
1. The body part from which the disease is being removed becomes hot and
hotter. Other parts of the body remain normal.
2. Persons with differing dispositions may not feel the heat of the diseased part.
In such cases an unbearable pain may rise in such parts. The practitioner
should bear this pain without any external help. He should tolerate the pain
and not go for pain relieving extraneous techniques. By and by the pain will
lessen and with constant practice it will be fully eradicated.
3. Persons with still different temperaments may neither feel the heat nor the
intense pain in the afflicted part of the body. They may experience the
diseased part becoming hard, whereas the other parts of the body retain their
usual suppleness and softness.
4. Yet another class of people experience none of the above but that the diseased
part becomes heavy after application of Prana Shakti.
5. Some persons experience crawling sensation; that is as if an ant is crawling
over the diseased part. Others have reported fluttering sensation on the
diseased part on application of Prana Shakti.
Variety of sensations result from Prana Shakti depending upon the nature
and temperament of concerned persons. A long list of experiences on awakening
of Kundalini forms the next chapter. Even this list is not exhaustive. Newer
experiences have been reported, and may be added to the list. Therefore, if we
experience such events occuring within us, we may consider it to be an indication
of Kundalini awakening.
A word of caution is necessary here. After the Kundalini is awakened, one
has to be extremely careful. Kundalini may create unprecedented harm than
good, unless it is guided properly. For this purpose the Sadhak should
immediately contact a Siddhayogi. Such persons, if they so desire, may contact
the author also.
RULES TO BE OBSERVED DURING MEDITATION
1. Keep the body fully relaxed, One may feel lightness and may think as if he is
flying in the air, a feeling of levitation or feeling as if one in entering deep into
the earth, yet he should maintain inner peace and calm and continue with the
meditation process.
2. During meditation if the limbs go to sleep or there be a tingling sensation in
them, still donot move the hands or feet. As the life force (PRANA) moves up,
such occurances are quite likely.
3. If the mouth gets filled with saliva or mucus draining from posterior nares
during meditation, donot let it disturb the meditation process, While
continuing with meditation, swallow the saliva. It is not to be spitted out. In
some yoga literature, it is referred to as nectar. Hathayoga branch gives it
great importance. According to them, the accumulation of saliva in mouth
during meditation occurs after following this rigorous discipline for 8 to 12
years. It is considered a milestone in their yoga journey.
4. The heat produced during meditation may cause profuse sweating. This is
normal occurance and no notice need be taken of it.
5. Try and focus attention on Ajna (AGYA) Chakra, the midpoint between the eye
brows (BHRUMADHYA) during, Meditation. When various thoughts take you
away from concentrating on Ajna Chakra, bring the focus back to the midpoint
of eye brows. Meditate for atleast half and hour at a time in the above manner.
6. Before Start of meditation, pay obeisance to Lord Ganesha,one who removes all
obstructions; then pray to your KULDEVATA /KULDEVI (God or Goddess of
your clan or your most favourite god) and finally invoke blessings of the
SADGURU (the True Guru) and then begin to meditate.
7. Though there is no specific time or limitation for meditation, yet one should
preferably sit for meditation atleast half an hour after a breakfast and three
hours after a meal. Empty stomach is the best for meditation.
Early hours of morning i.e. before dawn, and dusk time are preferred
timings. One may also meditate just before going to bed.
