Endeavors of spiritual sublimation towards entelechy of bright future – part 2 (Sukshmikaraña Evam Ujjawala BhaviÌya Ka Avataraña–2): Vangamaya Vol-29

An august spiritual saint can vibrate the whole world by the power of his thought waves and the force of his sentiments without even moving out of his chamber or cave… While sitting in his closed room in any corner of the earth, the charge of his spirituality can storm the grand expansion of the subtle world and transmute evil instincts into good will and divine sentiments…. There is no exaggeration or illusive imagination in these expressions. This possibility has indeed been realized several times in the history of mankind. The endeavors (saadhanaas) of Maharshi Arvindo and Maharshi Raman have set evidential examples in this context only a few decades ago.
Maharshi Arvindo had performed higher level yoga saadhanaas silently in his lonely chamber in Pandichery. As per his resolution, his spiritual energy had charged the entire Indian territory with patriotic sentiments…. This charge was manifested in the enthusiasm and excitement of millions of freedom fighters in the movement of the independence of India. What the revolutionary Arvind Ghosh would have only dreamt was easily materialized by his saadhanaas after self-realization…..
The endeavors of Maharshi Raman, Madame Blawetski and Ledbeater also fall in the above category of spiritual experiments. Yugrishi Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya had successfully performed the highest kinds of saadhanaas throughout his life; this included twenty-four Mahaapurashcharanas of Gaayatree continued for twenty-four years. Details on these saadhanaas are covered in volume nos. 9 to 14 of the Vangmaya series. The present volume focuses on his very special saadhanaa of sookshmeekarana – subtlization and sublimation of the life-force. Much before the commencement of this unique spiritual experiment he had hinted about this venture through his writings….
In his words – “the last twenty years of the 20th century and the first five years of the 21st century constitute the period of yug sandhi – junction between two eras. It is an emergency period when we will have to dedicate our endeavors to serve the dual purpose of preventing the decline and destruction of human dignity and simultaneously establishing the righteous trends of elevation and development in multiple dimensions of life. Each one of us will have to play his role with responsibility during this critical phase. I will continue to devote every second of my life, every impulse of my vital energy without pause until the dawn of the divine era becomes visible…..”
Gurudev Shriram Sharma had described his sookshmeekarana saadhana as a spiritual endeavor to set the foundation of the edifice of the new and bright era. During the two years period (1984-1986) of this arduous saadhanaa he had practically shut himself in a single room at Shantikunj, Hardwar. This was equivalent to the esoteric experiments carried out by the ancient rishis in the caves in the thick forests on the Himalayas. In the present volume Gurudev has highlighted the ascetic disciplines, practices of yoga and samaadhi (trance) associated with this saadhanaa in which the vital force from every cell, every molecule of the body is extracted and concentrated for sublime transformation into what is termed in the spiritual literature as the chhaayaa purusha or the etheric body. He has also described the subtle experiences of support received form the latent or the invisible beings….. Readers will get to know how the great souls receive the inspirations and guidance from the subtle world as help in their dedicated endeavors aimed at noble purposes – such as, those of the arousal and refinement of human sentiments…..
The sookshmikarana saadhanaa of revered Gurudev also incorporated the Saavitree saadhanaa of pancha kosha jaagarana in which the five gradually subtler layers of consciousness – namely, the annamaya kosha (gross body cell), praanamaya kosha (vital-body or energy-body cell), manomaya kosha (mind cell), vigyaanamaya kosha (knowledge cell) and aanandamaya kosha (beatitudeous bliss cell) – are activated and spiritually transmuted in five different streams of power which can virtually be like five divine associates…. In simple terms, this would correspond to a sublime transformation of the individual self into five subtle beings. Gurudev refers these divine associates as “veerabhadras”.
The authentic information given here on above mentioned esoteric aspects of polymerization of the individual consciousness is truly rare to find. The scientific eloquence of the author and his ease with balanced decipheration of his extra-sensory experiences indeed make this volume a precious treatise of the science of spirituality.
Acharya Sharma had written from time to time that even after he leaves the gross body in 1990, his subtle body will continue to work at a greater pace and in global domains during the next 15 years of yug-sandhi. He had disclosed the divine purpose of his life in his autobiography which came out in 1984 after the commencement of his sookshmeekarana saadhanaa. He writes about this spiritual experiment at one place in his autobiography as –” My sookshmeekarana saadhanaa, ongoing these days, is in the process of creating five subtle beings of supernormal potentials. These will latently enter the inner cores of the minds and hearts of uncountable number of people and replace the malice of evil instincts and immorality existing there by a divine treasure of ideal thoughts and sentiments which will enrich the awaken souls by great potentials and enable accomplishment of the arduous task of ‘changing an era…..’ with glorious success….”.
It would be a thrilling experience to read about his sookshmeekarana saadhanaa and get a glimpse of the activities of his veerbhadras in the present volume.
Acharya Sharma had also inspired the yug sandhi mahapurashcharañas of collective japa (rhythmic enunciation) of 2400 crores Gaayatree Mantras by millions of people across the globe. This Brahmaastra Anushthaana – a super spiritual experiment, the success of which is eternal and has the potential to create a new world order – has begun in 1989 and will continue till 2001. The grand Yagya of its completion (poornaahuti) will be performed in Shantikunj, Hardwar (India). This is a unique experiment of subtlization of the cosmic and spiritual power of shabda (eternal sound) contained in the Gaayatree Mantra. This is aimed at awakening the collective consciousness, elimination of evil tendencies and arousal of divinity which subtly exists in every living being but usually remains dormant in most…..
By inviting their participation in the yug sandhi mahaapurashcharana, Gurudev had bestowed the opportunity on people to conjugate their consciousness with his spiritual energy and be blessed for ever…. How his arduous sadhanaas of Gaayatree and Saavitree would contribute in realization of this collective endeavor is also described in the present volume.
The “vichaar kraanti abhiyaana” has been the core of the “yug nirmaana” mission of Acharya Sharma initiated in 1947. This aims at refining and bringing revolutionary changes in the attitude and conduct of the people and illuminating their ideologies. Acharya Sharma had written thousands of books (in Hindi) for enlightening the masses and orienting people’s mentality and faith in the righteous direction of human dignity. His thorough knowledge and versatility in all dimensions of life and his sagacity and acumen in the deepest depth of human psychology had helped his thoughts reach and have impact on people from different walks of society. His speeches and writings became the medium of expansion of his mission into a global family – the Gayatri Pariwar.
Realizing the key role of sentiments and intrinsic faith, he also devised and propagated the methods of refinement at the level of inner self as part of his “vichaar kraanti abhiyaan”. He re-investigated the ancient science of spirituality for this purpose and instituted special saadhanaa procedures and training programs most suitable for day-to-day practice by most of the people in the modern age….. The details of the personality development and social upliftment programs under the “vichaar kraanti abhiyaan” are given in the other volumes of the Vangmaya series. The present volume refers to the very special spiritual experiments of utmost importance in the present moments of transition of world order.
The readers would be convinced about the descent of a divine era in the 21st century after reading about the sookshmeekarana saadhanaa and yug sandhi mahaapurashcharana in this volume. They would also feel the conscious force of the author’s subtle inspirations and would themselves visualize the advent of bright future by participating in the history-making experiment of “yug sandhi mahaapurashcharana”.
