INTRODUCTION

Brahma Sri Amarakavi Ramachandra Rao is one of the living Siddhas today who has experienced the Supra mental phenomena.  Sri Aroubindo was another who combined a poetic frame of mind in addition to various Siddhis.  Sri Ramana of Thiruvannamalai wrote only a few lines depicting Brahma Gnana but his fame and mission in life has become worldwide.

I have gone through many of Sri Ramachandra's writings which are as bewildering as they are remarkable.  Brought up in the tradition of Sri Appayya Dikshidar my approach to the studies and observations of the author are outside the pale of an Adwaithic approach.  The intellectual analysis and mental approaches are inherent in Brahma Gnana.   To realise one's true self-embraces all Siddhis.  Such a realisation of one's self is available to human manifestations who are evolved souls.

Bhagavan Adi Sankara, in his classic “Gowri Dasakam” describes the Universal Mother thus.

“Nithya Suddho nish‑kala Ekoh jagadeesah,

Sakshi Yay‑ah sarga vidhu Samharanecha.”

“The eternal Providence, over pure and the “only reality” watches as witness the Leela – play of his Sakthi creating, protecting and destroying all manifestations”.  In Lalitha Sahasranaman one of the divine names of Devi describes how thousands of Dasa Avatharams of Sri Maha Vishnu have emerged from her feet.  It is all her play as Prakrthi –we must know this and raise ourselves to become the supreme and Divine in us.

 Bhagavan Sri Rarnana in one of his ardent prayers to Sri Arunachala exclaims:

“Oh Arunachala forgive me for to revealing

  the secret of creation and manifestations.”

The author is an Upasaka in Sri Vidya and has experienced the nature of the Five Koshas in a human being and knows the Chakras.  He describes how one's Prana, voice and mind ascend and descend and ultimately merge in the Real which is beyond time and space.  His discoveries are useful, inter‑alia, to modern scientists.  In the U.S.S.R. they are experimenting on the Supra‑mental plane and are praising Indian intuitive literature. Whether these discoveries are going to take humanity to Satya Loka or are going to destroy all manifestation in an Atomic holocaust is a perplexing question. The Devas and Asuras cousins‑possessed all the Siddhis but as the Upanishad puts it – they could not displace a small leaf of grass placed before them by Uma Hamavathi the Divine mother.

This volume of Sri Ramachandra's will be a valuable possession in the hands of thinkers – extrovert and introvert who wish to know and gain knowledge of the Supra mental spheres. I deem it an honour to write the introduction.
