How to Reach from Self to God with Yoga Meditation Practice

The Autonomous System – From Self to God

‘There is an ‘autonomous nervous system’ working in our being. ‘Auto’ means’ self’, so who is this Auto who is running this autonomous nervous system ? Doctors have called it a self-propelled system, but who is the self?

The Self is the Spirit. This Spirit resides in the heart of every human being and is in a witness-like state. The Spirit is the projection of God Almighty, while the Kundalini is the projection of the power of God, of His desire which is the Primordial Mother, or you can call it Adi Shakti, Holy Ghost or Athena. So the Kundalini is the projection of the Holy Ghost, while the Spirit is the projection of God Almighty. The all-pervading power of love is the power of the Primordial Mother, which creates and evolves, and does all the living work.”

Three Subtle Energy Channels & Four Powers

“There are actually three channels in the system. The one in the centre is called Sushumna, which caters to the parasympathetic nervous system, or the autonomous nervous system. The one on the left looks after the left sympathetic nervous system and on the right it looks after the right sympathetic nervous system. Now, it is not accepted yet, or discovered yet in medical science, that the left and right sympathetic nervous systems are two different juxtaposed systems. Their functions are absolutely opposite to each other.”

The Left Channel

The left side channel is called lda Nadi and is connected to the right side and the back of the brain. The two left and right channels cross at the Agnya chakra level. This channel caters for the left sympathetic nervous system. This channel looks after our emotional life and our past. It is the channel which creates our past. Whatever is the present today becomes the past tomorrow. The subconscious mind receives information from this channel. The subconscious mind has an age-old collective subconscious mind beyond it. Everything that was in the past since creation resides dormant in the collective subconscious. This collective subconscious has all that is dead in the evolutionary process collected and stored. Whatever is dead or gone out of the circulation of evolution and also whatever is spilling out of the subconscious mind goes out into the collective subconscious mind.”

The Right Channel


“The right side channel is called as Pingala Nadi, which crosses Ida Nadi at Agnya Chakra level. It is connected with the left side and the front of the brain. This channel caters for the right sympathetic nervous system. On the right hand side there is the supra conscious mind, which creates our future. Whatever we think about our future is recorded on the right hand side, and it also has a collective supra conscious, which has got all that is dead, which happened due to over-ambitious, futuristic personalities, aggressive animals or plants.”

The Central Channel: Sushumna Nadi

“The central path is called Sushumna, through which the Kundalini passes to pierce through the Fontanel bone area (Brahmarandhra) to enter into the subtle energy of the all-pervading power. This is how the actualization of Self-realization (actual baptism) takes place. First the hands feel (above the fontanel bone area) on the finger tips the cool breeze of the Holy Ghost. The hands are steady, they do not shake, they look normal but the seeker feels the ripples of cool breeze. For the first time he feels the existence of the all-pervading power.

It is easy to deny, but no use for a real seeker of truth to deny that there is any such thing as an all-pervading power, because one has not yet felt it. As already stated, one has to have a very open mind, like a scientist. Whatever may be the absolute truth for a saint, may not be for an ordinary human being. Still, one can keep one’s mind open and see for oneself and if it works out, then one would have an enlightened faith in Sahaja Yoga and not a blind faith.

As earnest, honest people, one must understand that this is for the transformation all people who have been waiting for their ascent. All our problems come from human beings. If human beings are transformed into a new realm of reality, of collective consciousness when they are aware of themselves (Self-knowledge) and also aware within themselves about others, as innate knowledge on their central nervous system, the entire problem of our personal, social, economic and political life, will be solved. But for that one has to become humble and should know that science cannot explain how the living process works. The principles of this power can only be understood when one feels this power after Self-realization.”

Meta Modern Era – Sahaja Yoga Meditation

“In the human body, there are three types of nervous systems. The first one is the central nervous system, the second one is the sympathetic nervous system which has a left and a right side, and the third one is the parasympathetic nervous system.

The sympathetic nervous system is for emergencies. For example, if one sees a tiger in the forest, one starts running fast. At this emergency, the heart beat increases tremendously. This is done by the sympathetic nervous system. But it goes back to normal by the working of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is in the middle of these two left and right sides. In medical science, I don’t know if they have reached the conclusion or not, that the left and right sympathetic nervous system act in opposite directions, as they are complimentary.”

Creation Reflected Within the System of Chakras

“For example, the left sympathetic nervous system is nourished by a subtle channel, called the Ida Nadi (Moon channel), and the right side, by a channel which is called Pingala Nadi (Sun Channel). This Ida Nadi gives the human being his emotional side. In one’s subconscious, the past is recorded beyond this Ida Channel. The Subconscious is the past, today’s past, then is the past of yesterday, the past of this life, past of the last lives and ultimately the past which was the one which came from all that was created since Creation took place, the collective subconscious. All these areas are placed vertically one after another and not horizontally. For our ascent one does not have to pass all these subconscious areas as said by many psychologists.

The other one, which is the Pingala Nadi, works for the physical and the mental, meaning intellectual, work of human beings. In the centre is the parasympathetic, which is formed by the loops from both left and right sympathetic nervous system. So whenever the sympathetic nervous system is exhausted because of emergencies, the parasympathetic relaxes and nourishes these two channels and ultimately helps these, the sympathetic systems.

Wherever these loops meet, the energy centres thus formed are known as Chakras. These loops correspond to genes which are affected also by our day-to-day activity of left and right sympathetic nervous system.

The central one, which is the parasympathetic, is nourished by another channel, called the Sushumna Nadi (Channel of Ascent). Whatever we have achieved in our evolution is recorded and is established in this central nervous system. For example, human beings are higher and have more sensitivities than animals have in certain areas. If you want a dog or a horse to go through a dirty channel, it won’t object, but a human being cannot go through that. So human beings have developed a sensitivity to dirt, filth and bad smell, while the animals don’t have that. There are so many things one can show where human beings are much more sensitive to which animals are not. All this sensitivity is expressed through the central nervous system. So all that we have achieved in our evolutionary process is being expressed in our being through the central nervous system.”

What is the Real Process of Evolution?

“There is one more residual energy which is coiled up and remains potential in the triangular bone called the sacrum. Residual energy means that it is the basic original energy which has not gone into division. When the Divine Energy falls on the brain of the fully developed fetus, then in the prism-like brain it falls into three categories. It happens due to refraction. The energy that falls on the sides of the brain cross over to form the sympathetic nervous system. But when the Divine energy falls on the summit of the brain which is like a prism, the original energy, without any refraction, passes through and coils down in the Sacrum bone as Kundalini. Perhaps the Greeks knew that it was a sacred bone, so they called it ‘the sacrum”. This original, complete energy is coiled into three and a half coils which is in a resting potential state. The subtle system we have within ourselves is built in.”

From Fetus to Seeker to Realized Soul -> Sahaja Yogis

“In the process of our evolution we have seven main energy centres on the spinal cord, and also in the brain. When this fourth energy channel (which is called the ‘Kundalini’ in the Sanskrit language) is awakened like a primule in a seed, it passes through six centres and ultimately pierces the sixth centre fontanelle bone area (which is called “Bramharandra’) and connects human awareness to the all pervading power of Divine Love. Thus one develops the fourth dimensional awareness. This is how the Kundalini achieves this Yoga. When this Kundalini rises, She changes the database of the genes and a transformation in the personality takes place. The six centres (Chakras) are cleansed, nourished and enlightened which is reflected in the genes which are three each on the two sides of the loop.

One has to know what is the ultimate goal of our life. The ultimate goal of our evolution is to become the Spirit, which is the reflection of God Almighty in our heart. That is self identity and also self knowledge. Also, one becomes one with the all pervading Divine power of love. Our awareness is enlightened by the Spirit and Divine vibrations start flowing through our central nervous system enlightening our being. We also feel the cool breeze of the Holy Ghost, which is the all pervading power of Divine love, coming out of our fontanelle bone area as well as flowing through our finger tips and our hands.”

The seeker becomes thoughtless and thus calm and peaceful. Automatically the seeker starts behaving in a very holy and righteous manner. All bad habits which are destructive drop out. The innocence and compassion overwhelms the nature of the seeker. All perverted sex styles normalize and even the eyes and attention become devoid of lust and greed. The seeker now knows the absolute truth on his finger tips. The eyes shine as a glint of flames brightens them. Time loses its grip over the personality and ageing stops. Action becomes inaction, so that even when the realized soul acts, the action through the ego disappears. The conditioning of the past due to the birth surroundings which were binding completely drop out and a new holy culture is expressed in the individual. The collective life of Sahaja Yogis becomes the theme of very beautiful enjoyment. The Sahaja Yogis get powers of giving realization to many. That is how Sahaja Yoga has spread to the world.

This is the proof that something has happened to the people who have got this awakening within them. This awakening is long awaited by the seekers of truth as the last breakthrough of our evolution. For this, you cannot command, you cannot pay, you cannot disrespect.”
