Star Teller Interview with Vibhuthi Adigal

Question No 1 Bio data of V.R .V

 I was born on 15.6.1952 as the third son to my parents.  My father (Late) Mr. V V. Ramamoorthy of Karur retired as the Professor from Institute of Printing Technology Adyar, Chennai. I studied at Chennai and took my B.Com degree in 1973.  I am working in Southern Railway (Hqrs) Chennai as Office Superintendent.  I had a stout flair for a deep study into the Indian Mysticism right from boyhood.  I came in contact with Amarakavi Siddeswara in the year 1969 even in my school going boy.   I had good experience with Amarakavi in the task of editing, proof reading and publication works of his divine experiences in the form of his two masterpieces namely Nija Ananda Bhodam and The Secret of Tapas published 1976 and 1982 respectively.  Our contact was about 25 years’ old involving daily discussions on various segments in Indian Mysticism and the essence of Human Evolution in the Physical in the context of cosmic vs. personal.  Presently I am serving as the Hony. Editor of M/s Hayagreeva Publication, Chennai 600005 and authored four books in English and Tamil based on Amarakavi’s gospel and guidelines. 

Question 2 Who is a Siddha? Please explain in detail the Siddha way of life / Siddha’s cult?

            There are three stages of human evolution basically:

                        a) Animal man, b) Man man – c) Man divine.

            Man losses all his divinity and omniscience wrap the moment he takes his birth and first breath he is taken on earth from ether in compass.  His attempt on its reverse gear to touch the birth point is called yoga or challenge with nature towards god realization.  Any one who succeeds in this battle is a Siddha.  Such a Siddha is not dependent on nature for breathing because he integrates breathing, thought and above all speech, the genesis of human faculties and the functional basis of human system.  He is a Siddha who wins over speech open / hidden in addition to arrest of thought and breathing According to Amarakavi speech is god.  The adopt of this theorem in yoga is Siddha cult.

Question: 3.  We like to know about your guru Siddha Amarakavi.  Highlights of his lif and spiritual guidance.  In what way he differs from other spiritual teachers?  How did you became his disciple?

Amarakavi, a Telugu Niyogi was born at Pudukkottai, in old Trichy District on 19/10/1906 as a born Siddha and amsa of Maha Ganapathy. He lived out and out at Chennai in domestic base only and retired as cost Accountant from M/S Burmah-Shell.

 He was an ardent worshipper of Mula Ganapathy like the great Tamil woman poet Oovai. He experienced Brahma Bhava even as a boy of ten.  He had intimate contacts with great Siddhas of yore especially the great saint Agasthya who helped and graced him to touch great heights in tapas. He had good contacts even telepathically with almost all seers and saints of this and last centuries. It is interesting that the great seer Sri Chandrasekara Bharathy Swamigal, the 34rd Pontiff of Sringeri Saradha Peetam transferred all his powers to Amarakavi just a fortnight before his Jala Samadhi in the year 1954.  He released two great titles 1. Nija Anandha Bodham and 2. The Secret of Tapas during his lifetime leaving behind the task of publication of his other works posthumously under my editorship by M/S Hayagreeva Publication.

He attained the spiritual heights of a Siddha and heard the Sankha Nadham of Lord Sriman Narayanan in tapas which heralded divine spiritual revelations in store for him. Accordingly, he was graced with revelations both in Tamil and English and he made a record of them which are now serving as the materials for the publication work. He differs with modern adepts in Sri Vidya /Advaita Enquiry/Ashtanga Yoga in that he condemns attempts only with rituals and insists on the practice of Vacant Look theory in meditation.  His discovery is “Speech is God” and his books published and yet to be released are exposing the role of human speech in human existence and survival in the map of cosmic evolve or God-realization. The various dimensions of speech exposed by him are not said in so much detail in any vedic or upanishad text. He says that his divine revelations reveal the secrets of speech/Breathing/thought and their integral role   known only to maharishis of yore who lived about 5000 years ago.

The present spiritual leaders are engaged more in rituals than practice of spiritual techniques with the result that their knowledge is more theoretical than practical. Moreover, Amarakavi’s new theorem is that Speech is God and Speech, if contained in toto along with Breathing and thought, would lead one to integral yoga, the spring-board for communion with God. Moreover, He revealed that Maha Shodasi Mantra Siddhi is a must secret for communion with God and the aspirant should be initiated into it by God Himself in this context. That way, he was initiated into it by his tutelary Deity Lord Moola Ganapathy like Veda vyasa who compiled the four Vedas through this Mantra Siddhi.That way he differs with other spiritual teachers. This spiritual claim was enjoyed only by the ancient maharishis of yore.

At Triplicane in Madras in 1963, Amarakavi, in his retired life, became a tenant in a flat in the same premises where my parents were living in another flat. I was a school boy then. Our intimacy grew thick and Amarakavi adopted me as his follower/disciple to stand in his shoes to continue the divine errand, as desired by Lord Moola Ganapathy. 

Question 4 Please explain the basics of Sri Vidya worship?

            Sri Vidya worship is an ancient method of God realization.  The maharishis of yore were experts in that field.  According to Amarakavi the secrets of Sri Vidya is not known to the aspirants of this age.  Sri Vidya aims at success in communion with God.  Shodasi and Mahashodasi mantra Siddhis are the prerequisites therein for divine revelations.  Amarakavi was graced with such Siddhis through the extreme grace of the divine as a result of his penance for the past consecutive six Janmas.  He succeeded in integral yoga known of maharishis of yore and thus touched peaks of penance beyond the region of Samadhi in thought free silence and became the recipient of   divine revelations. Saint Agastiya, the mightiest among the renowned 18 Siddhas graced him then and there during this progress.  The integral yoga of Amarakavi involves integration of thought breathing and speech force for entry into omniscience of the eternal.  It is a region beyond Thuriya state where one misses himself in stout embrace with the divine where the omniscience of the divine enters human system replacing human intellect at standstill.  Veda Vysa stood there for all his recordings.  In the process of integral yoga Sri Vidya ranks first in the task of taming the senses, tuning the inwardness and fusing one’s being and becoming through mantra Siddhis for the inner voice to sprout in vacant look preceded by upward breathing on Ajapa and Vaikari Siddhis.  This was possible only in Siddha cult where man becomes god momentarily to be graced with omniscience intelligence of omnipotent value.  The present day Sri Vidya is not sufficient to contain speech to the core to lead to integral yoga as with Siddhas and Adhi Sankara.

Question 5 please guide us step by step the spiritual progress

In human evolution, man is able to think, speak and breathe but only at cost of his spiritual and divine power enjoyed in mother’s womb. At birth, man loses all his divinity once as a child; he takes his first breath from ether. Man’s faculties like breath + thought + Speech each independently works to his decay and death through seven ages of human life. Yoga is to put the reverse gear thereto for their integral force towards inwardness on total veto with one’s self-identity on earth as a man.

Question 6 What are the essential practices to keep good health?

            Good health is gift of God in terms of fruits of good deeds of previous birth.  However many engaged in yoga are promised with good health generally.  The prerequisite for good health is purity at heart, thought and deed.   Life free from worldly attachment, selflessness, service mindedness coupled with meditative existence on earth lead to good health.  To cap the climax, divine grace to exonerate from sins of past births is also required.

Amarakavi's Transcendental Meditation Centre Aims and Objects

Amarakavi Siddeswara, a ‘Brahma Jnani’ and born Siddha, was a highly evolved soul equal to ‘Nehrur Sadasiva Brahman’.  He lived upto the age of 87 years and attained ‘Brahma Samadhi’ in 1993 at Chennai.  He had intimate association with all Siddhas and Mahapurushas of recent times.  He was initiated in Sri Vidya practice by ‘Saint Agastiya’ the mightiest of the popular 18 Siddhas of yore.

Amarakavi’s discovery of Human Life in self-experience with the Divine resulted in Divine Revelations in ‘Brahma Nishta’ like ‘Veda Vyasa’ which answers thousands of doubts and questions on Indian mysticism.  The main areas of discovery where Sri Vidya,. Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga, and Advaita Vichara of Sri Adi Sankara in terms of modern scientific fashion.  Amarakavi released two masterpieces during his lifetime.  The present Hayagreeva Publication has undertaken to publish around one hundred more books on matters culled out from Amarakavi’s discovery materials.  Some of the titles yet to be published by the Research center attached to Hayagreeva Publication are designed in the forms of question and answers for easy digest in self-enquiry.  There are other titles also to be released in the form of gradient charts of yoga and meditation to reveal the path trodden by ancient Maharishi’s of yore.

Upon the whole it will be pertinent to emphasis here that the publication of Amarakavi’s work aims at elevating all the readers, beginners’ amateurs, or adepts for self-enquiry and evaluation of Amarakavi’s revelations not found anywhere else.  The readers of this publication shall get equipped to encounter to any situation warranting explanations on the paths and practice of Siddhas and stalwarts in Sri Vidya and Ashtanga Yoga.

Amarakavi’s works are in English presented in terms of scientific expression and explanations are capable of satisfying even readers belonging to Medical Science, Parapsychology, Mysticism, Space Researchers, Anthropology and Human Resources.  In nutshell Amarakavi’s explanations are scientific and well suited to modern scientific era.

Thus the discovery of Human Life revealed to Amarakavi in the ‘Fourth Dimension’ by the Divine now getting released in the form of tittles are not available in any text Vedic, Upanishads, others in that that the ‘missing links’ in the lore of Indian Mysticism and spiritual evolution are available only in Amarakavi’s work revealed in this Yuga after some five thousands years.

The divine revelation experienced by Amarakavi during his life time in Brahma Nishta run to thousands of pages.  It is impossible to publish all of them in the form of books as it may cost enormous editing task and printing costs.  Therefore this research centre has proposed to digitalize all the Amarakavi’s major works and make it available to the visiting scholars engaged in study and practice of higher philosophy and Indian mysticism as a whole. 

108 Siddha Art and Paintings Exhibition and book release

An exhibition on the above subject was conducted at Chennai from 28^th April to May 1^st 2011 at C. P. Art centre, Alwarpet, Chennai 600 018 and a colourful book containing  all the 108 paintings with detailed commentary in Tamil was released.  The response from the common public and the appreciation from amateurs and adepts as well was enormously encouraging.  It is the unanimous desire of all the visitors that this spiritual feast should not be confined to the residents of Chennai and other parts of Tamilnadu should also get the blessings of the great Siddha Yogi Amarakavi by witnessing the excellent paintings of all the 108 Spiritual Dreams experienced by him between the year 1940 and 1955 heralding  his future yogic attainments and Siddhies at the extreme grace of Lord Mula Ganapathi, his tutelary deity and  guarding angel in his march towards self-consummation with the Divine.  It is pertinent to hear to mention that the dreams were awarded to Amarakavi as spiritual visions along with running commentary from Inner Voice depicting the scenes and its sanctity and substance.  This is first of its kind in this kali yuga for a man to embrace and encounter such cosmic truths through divine favour.  The above function was a grand success at Chennai.

An appeal to research scholars in Indian Mysticism

Ms. Hayagreeva publication successfully conducted the above book cum painting exhibition at Chennai.  The responses from the visitors engaged in the task of yoga / meditation / study of siddhas and from the common public were enormously encouraging.  They benefited a lot from the works of Amarakavi.  They unanimously suggested to the publishers to approach people in all states of India for sponsor to conduct such exhibition throughout the country for the uplift of every Indian.  The suggestion sounds good and therefore all organizations or trusts, foundations, Yoga Research Centers visiting this page are requested to do their best and arrange for display and exhibition for the benefit of ardent devotees in their areas.  We are ready to conduct similar functions on advice from them so that the choicest blessings of Amarakavi and mighty Siddhas in his association may be earned.  To promote works of Siddhas is more than construction of temple.    Thus the ordinary readers of this page are welcome to participate in such divine errands watched by Siddhas of yore.

A Spiritual way of Life - The Perfect sage

A spiritual way to life

By Ashish Joshi
The Perfect Sage Prabodharan Sukumar,
Hayagreeva Publication, Pp 272 (PB), Rs 150.00

‘THE purpose of life of any man is to join with the "Divine" which activates the earth; which activates even a worm here.’ So begins The Perfect Sage, by Prabodharan Sukumar. Ostensibly a tribute by the author to his teacher Sri Amarakavi Ramachandra, a realised soul or Sidddheswara, who lived in Triplicane, Chennai, the book also explores his teacher’s interactions with such famous personalities as sir C V Raman, Dr S. Radhakrishnan and V V Giri.

In the introduction, the author says he first came into contact with Amarakavi Ramachandra in 1981 in connection with his second book The Secret of Tapas. From then till Sri Ramachandra attained his samadhi in 1993, the two forged a close bond that went beyond mere friendship. Sri Ramachandra became his spiritual guru, and tried to show him the way to divine salvation. He also shared his mystical experiences with the author, and enlightened him about the Vedas and the Upanishads-the fount of all spiritual knowledge. The author also learnt about transcendental meditation, Brahma Tatvas, the philosophy of Adi Shankara-knowledge which spans the gamut of the spiritual experience.

Sri Ramachandra interacted with many great spiritual personalities of his time, such as Sri Aurobindo and Sir John Coats of the Theosophical Society and other yogis, philosophers and religious heads which resulted in a lively exchange of spiritual knowledge. The book is broadly divided into two sections-while the first explores the life and times of Sri Ramachandra, the second section sheds light on the mystical experiences of the famous personalities of our age. The penultimate section of the book is an exhaustive timeline of the life of Sri Ramachandra, while the final pages are devoted to a glossary of spiritual words and phrases.

A must-read for those interested in the spiritual way of life, the book also serves as a sort of challenge to those who view the world purely through a scientific perspective. As a sort of antithesis to the age of reason, the book is well-written and makes easy reading for the yogic guru as well for those who are taking their first hesitating steps into the mystical frontiers with a sense of anticipation.

Foreword

Sri Amarakavi Ramachandra Swami is a well known mystic and a “Siddha Purusha.”  His books on the Mystic and “Tantric” literature have had some publicity.  Sri Karan Singh’s Foreword to one of his works portrays the esoteric and deeply mystic nature of the Swami’s approach to the workings of human thoughts relating to the Life force in Yogis who are rare to find anywhere.  It requires some qualification for a meditative yogi to get into the spirit of the Swami’s approach.  In the “Lalitha Sahasranama Bashya of Sri Bhaskara Rayar” we find that the Sri Matha – Mother of all, is “Brahma Vidya Swaroopenee.”

The Amarakavi’s booklet of the “Advaita Philosophy of Sri Adhi Sankara’s” matchless approach to the identity of the “Jeeva” and the Paramatma is a tribute to the Centernary Celebrations of the Maha Periyaval of Kanchi Kama Koti Peetam.  The Amarakavi Swami has frequented His Holiness Maha Periyaval of Kanchi who is aware of the Swami’s attainments.  It is bound to illuminate devotees of “Advaitha”

 I wish the edition all success

Secret of Inner Voice Preface

PREFACE

(BY THE AUTHOR)

These are valedictory pages of this great work wherein Human Conscience turned to Omniscience scales of pervading spirits in Brahman.  It is the womb of creative intelligence and the venue of self-guidance with the divine direction of surpassing intelligence in him.  Vedas and Upanishads came to be that way and so too this mighty research work in Amarakavi.  We are so much inherent and unidentified and Amarakavi exposes it in total self-fulfillment with that great reorientation in the physical – the fourth dimension of living presence in human. 

It is Aham Brahmasmi presence wherein the knower and its directing Inner Voice creeping to one’s own conscience – all within itself is the summit of human evolution – that abode of conscience (as the all in cosmic radiation of Athi Sukshma Indriya Vyakthis down to its core – Prakriti Layam, so to say) – turned to a cryptic whisper – wherein the pervading conscience is by itself the cryptic whisper. 

It is Jnana Oli – it is the word of God felt to conscience reckoning of it in deep Nishta.  A prevailing moment with it is where the human conscience fully absorbed into the divine – and the directing intelligence with it in this mighty research work – as with the self-attainment of super sages of yore in timeless tradition.  Conscious growth into divine is it – an immanence to serve God to fulfill his mission such as this work in the modern age – of declining Nishta around the spiritual evolution in human.  It is an highly advanced state of Sthitha Pragya (conscious participation with the divine) – an immanence of human nature living to cosmic presence in Brahman. That transcend in the personal become Deho Devalayam.

My Prakriti Jnana concluded here over this mission in divine behest.

INTRODUCTION

   

Sri Ramachandra Rao is a well known Siddha whose Tapas and meditation for nearly 50 years have elevated him to the high levels of transcendental achievement. He has to his credit important publications. His approach to the physical, mental and supra mental spheres is as esoteric as it is mysterious. His speech and writings race against his galloping mind. Therefore one finds his writings in a “Sutra” form which convey the full meaning only to the earnest seekers.

Dwijas mainly in India, following the traditional path start their early morning prayer thus:‑

My living body is the temple of God and the indwelling spirit “Jivatma” is none other than the eternal Deva – Paramatma.  Casting off the discarded sheaths one should consider one's self as none other than the supreme eternal beyond time and space. This Adwaitic approach tunes one mind and body for ultimate realisation. The great mantras are “Hamsa soham soham hamsaha”.  I am none other than the blissful SIVA – I am not the body, senses, mind and other functions which are subject to decay and death".

Amarakavi is seeing, as Upasakahs do, the mystery of creation and of the projected universe in the three states of waking, dreaming and sleep.

A human being is blessed on its birth with an intellect and reasoning powers distinguished from animals and other living lower manifestations.  The author wishes that as many human beings as possible to share with him the unraveled mysteries of the pheno­menal world. Starting with breathing and going up to the functions of life – "Prana" he reiterates what our sages have analysed thousands of years ago.  The Asanas leading up to the stillness of the mind free from all distractions and pre‑occupations will lead the aspirant to self-­realisation.

In modern times from Sadasiva Bramendra down to Sri Ramana Maharishi we have had teachers proclaiming that the Supreme Self is none other than the aspirant himself and that, it is not to be sought after outside one's self.  The Brahmendra in one of his songs says that once one has stilled his desires and his wandering mind, he becomes Emperor of Emperors and is beyond decay and death.  What perishes is only the temporary abode.  The Gita likens this to the casting off of old clothes and wearing new ones.

Modern science and mathematics have recognised the superb and eternal truths in Vedanta.  The truths beyond space and time are dawning on the thinkers today. The indwelling spirit in human beings can get into the same "wave length" of the eternal and attain this supreme realisation of the truth. The life divine of Saints like Swami Sivananda and Sri Aurobindo is not unapproachable if not but is available for aspirants here and now.

The Amarakavi like Sri Appaya Dikshidar who lived five hundred years ago believes that all mankind can attain Siddhi's leading up to Mukthi that providence blesses the aspirant with long life and a health body to carry on in the path of realisation. A living example is the great Paramacharya of Kanchi who at 95 possesses a golden hue bodily and shows no sip of old age or decay. The Amarakavi is another example.  At 85 he is as cheerful as he is active with unabated enthusiasm.

The Publication will be a valuable volume not only in the hands of the spiritually bent aspirants but also with Scientists.

Secret Doctrine - Review by Justice S Mohan

JUSTICE S. MOHAN

CHIEF JUSTICE,

HIGH COURT OF KARNATAKA STATE

How poor, how rich, how abject, how august, 

how complicate, how wonderful is man!

Distinguished link in being's endless chain! 

Midway from nothing to the deity!

Dim miniature of greatness absolute! 

An heir of glory a frail child of dust! 

Helpless immortal! Insect infinite! 

A worm A God!

That is the fine description of man by Edward Young.  One may laugh or scoff at it.  One may adore or admire it. But the truth of the matter is the perfect definition one can think of  I am convinced so after going through the pages of Amarakavi Ramachandra's monumen­tal work of The Human Evolution in the Physical (The Secret Doctrine).  No other book could ever start with the major premise that 'Man is a facade of Temple' 'in whom all wisdom and good abide' and develop upon that premise so beautifully as this work.

To him, the transcendence of mental power is something extra­ordinary.  Its wake up makes one reach intellectual power of immense height.  He would say “The reap of its turn out hatches Mano Shanti”.   The pursuit is a fascinating one and could be called ‘Jnana Upadesam' when the thinking seeks to attain celestial heights.

“The awakened spiritual awareness” – Jnana Upadesam – is something to marvel at.  The omnipresence of God is so inherent to that transmuted emphasis of day conscience into Paramakasa – tiers of om­niscience intelligence – as the nature of the divine in human power.  To gain entry into that should be one's constant endeavour; to gain impetus thereto should be the ultimate object of human progress – a way of life functioning to the guided sails of Paramatma, even as the man of the earth set to phenomenal yoke all day through".

This string of noble thoughts comes from mature mind linked to a higher line of thinking. Amarakavi Ramachandra is a rare person from whom emanates real philosophy with fine fragrance.

If persons like him make us believe in the great statement of Emerson: "Every man is a divinity in disguise, a God playing the fool" should we not express our deep felt thanks to Amarakavi?

         "He is on earth, but his thoughts are with the stars; Mean and petty his wants and desires, yet they serve a soul exalted with grand, glorious aims – with immortal longings – with thoughts which sweep the heavens and wander through eternity.   A pigmy standing on the outward crest of this small planet, his far reaching spirit stretches outward to the infinite, and there alone finds rest".

These words of Thomas Carlyle aptly fit the description of Amarakavi, excepting perhaps the wants and desires – for one with those wants and desires cannot attain great heights, as this book evidently illustrates. May his contribution to the world of thinking, high thinking remain a glittering light amidst the darkness of this word!

  "I saw Eternity the other night

 Like a great ring of pure and endless light".

PONDICHERRY 605002 PH. 50671

A WORD:

It is indeed presumptuous for any one to attempt an assessment of a work like Sri Amarkavi Ramachandra Rao’s The Human Evolution in the Physical (THE SECRET DOCTRINE).  His experience goes beyond formula­tion in words; his vision extends beyond the cosmos as has been commonly understood.  Men understand with their minds what little they can catch hold of with their thought‑instrumentation. For true knowledge, for full knowledge, says the author, you have to go beyond the mind.  For the highest knowledge is the knowledge by identity.  And this identity is not merely with what is transcendent but equally with what is tangible here on earth.

Amarakavi bridges in himself the gap between Science and Spirituality, the Seers of the Upanishad and the rational thinkers of the twentieth century.  Heaven and Earth, he points out, are to be fused in the conscious of man. And towards that purpose Nature has provided the linkage of Prana, life‑force, in whose manipulation lies the key to change of consciousness.  If you go deep enough in the Physical you emerge into the pure air‑spaces of the Spirit. Behind the surfaces of life there are steps that lead from the Jagrat to the Thuriya.   The Physical holds the secret of the manifestation of Satchidananda in its deepest layers.

Mystics are wary of exposing their secrets to the profane; Amarakavi is one of the exceptions.  Of course he caskets his discoveries in an uncommon language, daring the inquisitive reader to decipher the figures that ensoul his perceptions and encounters.  One must read and reread this treatise before one is able to enter into the experience of the Omnipresent that underlies such an inspiring vision.

Human Evolution in the Physical - review by Justice S Mohan

JUSTICE S.MOHAN

Madras High Court

  

The research work on 'The human evolution in the physical' by Amarakavi Ramachandra is something unique and exceedingly refreshing. After calling upon the reader to know the depth of his own life, he explains the supreme quest and how it is fulfilled in Amarakavi.  It is his self‑experience that is revealed in the book which is a factual study of life on earth.  He transcends to great‑heights in this research work.  It is his firm belief that the experiences possible to man in the field of consciousness are virtually boundless; he can go deeper and deeper into that field and never come to its end.  By the process of Kundalini, namely the spiritual power of the infinite, he would advocate the invocation of meditative thought.  Yoga is one of the process by which the man attains bliss and happiness. “The four cardinals of human life based on breathing inward of nature form the modulations for the solar force and they integralise in the depths of Mental Silence” is a grand theory.  The study reveals the enormous pains taken by the author in culling out the quintessence of very many great works.  His theory that we have two bodies constitutes interesting reading.

 I am sure this book will set every one thinking. The manner of presentation of the various, theories advocated by the author is also facile.

           

                     I wish the author every success,

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.

THE THREE ANCIENT SPIRITUAL PATHS

THE THREE ANCIENT SPIRITUAL PATHS

God realization is a target for every human on earth.  There are many roads to success in this direction prescribed by Maharishis of yore – the popular among them being

1. Sri Vidya Upasana
2. Sri Patanjali’s Ashtanga yoga
3. Sri Adhi Sankara’s Advaita Philosophy

 History of east has witnessed many stalwarts on the above avenues like Sri Adhi Sankara, Sri Patanjali, Thirumoolar, Nammalvar and few others of the recent times like Sri Ramana, Sri Aurobindo, H.H. Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati of Sringeri Mutt, H.H. Maha Swamigal of Kanchi Kamakoti peetam and above all Nehrur Sri Sadasiva Brahmendra.

The author Sri Amarakavi Siddeswara is one of such a high order who has experienced the entire stretch of the paths trodden by the above said Superman.  He has gone a step ahead of them of all in that he succeeded in getting direct communion with God from within in the form of “Clairaudience.”  The author is emphatic in establishing that “Inner Voice or Clairaudience” is more difficult a task than “Clairvoyant Vision” as omniscience knowledge in mental in terms of intuitive divine visions and sceneries. It is a soul steering to notice that the author attributes, wherever possible, his success in evolution to the profound grace of God stating candidly that his consistent progress to such a high was rather graced by the divine that earned in self-effort.

It is a pertinent here to place before the readers certain theory and facts formulated and propounded by the author in self-experience in the words of the author in spiritualism no theory is valid and unless experienced in self-effort.  Theory without practise is a corpse without a soul.  The following highlights of the author’s work prove beyond doubt that his self-experience in the form of books will bridge that gap between the ancient wisdom of maharishis and the present day status of spiritual knowledge by duly providing the missing links required for consummation of spiritual knowledge expected of the aspirants into heir march towards God’s realization.

The facts of teachings and guidelines from the author’s point of view are summerised below.

Sri Vidya Upasana Marga:

The author sympathises with aspirant of the present day Sri Vidya Upasana Marga.  In that the ancient wisdom of this style of worship has been lost down the Middle Ages.  The author’s work is a masterpiece on its revival to restore and replace in correct path that was practiced and lived into by the sages by 5000 years age.  The author is emphatic that God revealed all this to him in the ‘Fourth Dimension’ beyond the grip of Perception and earthly existence.  The indepth definitions given by the author then and there for concepts like Kundalini, Consciousness, Conscience gradients of Inner Voice, Intuition, Autosuggestion, Supra Mental etc in the context of Sri Vidya is really astounded. 

The new theory of “Vacant Look” (Deep Meditation) experienced by the author is set to be a must for anyone to become qualified to listen to God from within.  Alongside the gradients of one’s conscience for a transition from omniscience indwells to the author to be the qualification to become recipient of God’s voice from within also stresses omnipresence impact.  The author has presented the entire gamut of Sri Vidya concept in a more scientific way so that it attracts a common man from the East and West alike.  The conventional cob-webs in clarifications for vital terminologies in the subject is totally removed.  Thus the book is a book to all Sri Vidya Upasakas with which they can understand the correct path towards perfection in their march.  In other words without the guidelines of the author one can never realize God no mater what path he entrances. 

Sri Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga:

It is surprising that the concept of yoga is more conceived as physical exercises than what it is its real sense and purport.  Yoga is a Sanskrit term meaning “To Join or To Yoke.”  No book reveals so much the inner meaning of every nook and corner of this great subject as may be found in the works of that author.  His works throw light on every part of yogic system, unexplored and untouched by anyone in recent 3000 years.  This is the only book, which exposes the Cosmic inter-link and inter-action among Breathing, Speech and Thought, which is nowhere detailed in any standard text like Vedas, Upanishads and Bhagavat Gita.  It is also true that the divine revelations to the author excels all the above text in that they mention concepts undefined but his works gives the thread-bare analysis of them all.  The great Bhagavat Gita presented guidelines to humanity towards God realization whereas the book declares the secrets and keys to success therein.

Sri Adhi Sankara’s Advaita Philosophy:

The popular concept of Advaita propounded by Sri Adhi Sankara is no doubt conceived of as the highest order of self-realisation.  It is a pity that in India the gap between theory and practice is too alarming and far to be bridged even with the guidelines taken from stalwarts like Mutt heads.  This reveals the existence of missing links to be applied by every aspirant to reach its goal.  The author thankfully presents many guidelines and prescribes formulae for success out of his own self-experience.  It is also surprising to note that the author is unique in presenting his work purely out of his self-experience and revelations he had from God without citing or quoting from any standard text of vedenta.  According to him Nehrur Sri Sada Siva Brahmam seems to have touched the plain of Advaita in recent times.  The author is anxious that humanity should wake-up from its mere pundit scales and intellectuals debates, which do not in any way subscribe to self-realisation. 

To sum up this volume like others of the author contains direct notes from the divine as ‘Revelations’ for the mankind to understand the missing links lost sight of down the middle ages. Without which the task of God realization will be a rope of sand.

Since the spiritual tips and the guidelines given by the author are too numerous to be listed herein the verdict on the author’s work can be stated as follows:

The ancient Maharishis seem to have succeeded in God realisation only with the knowledge favour by the God as found in the works of Swami Amarakavi Siddeswara.

Advaita from different angles:

This is a popular concept propounded by Sri Adhi Sankara.  Aham Brahmasmi meaning “I am Brahmam” – is one of the four popular Vedic dictums.  This concept according to Sri Sankara is not to be meant seriously with it.  It is a state par excellence where mind is extinct to go on soul and body is in its lapse over breath.  (Under the spell of Chitta Swadeenam) Advaita is supreme self or the infinite “I” felt in him self as the sacred whisper.  It is self-fulfillment to “Brahma Vichara” or cosmic conscience regained in the depth of Universal Consciousness.  Beware it is a selfless seek with the divine where you recognize yourself as no other than the divine – though in physical presence on earth under phenomenal rove of mental activity.  In the peak of Advaitic experience, self-communion with divine or transcendental awake to momentary self-address in creative intelligence – hold of very deep self enquiry fructifies.  Advaita is fulfilled there where “Aham” transmutes with Brahman in omnipresence.

Sri Vidya in Advaita:

The great seers of yore practiced and lived into a dignified state of spiritual evolve called “Sthitha Pragya” where consciousness level of intelligence reciprocates whilst to self-guidance in the divine as in Vedas and Upanishads bound.  This reciprocity in “Pragya” of the adept in full scope of divine communication is termed Sthitha Pragya.  It is conscious embrace with the divine touching self-consummation with the directing intelligence of Brahman transcending the bull-work of day-life or “Pragya.”  It is thus a conscious reap in the divine resulting only from extreme divine grace rather than self-help therein.  Behold, such a communion with the divine out of “Sthitha Pragya” premises is the terminal of “Sri Vidya Upasana.”  It is equally signifies the peak of “Advaita Jnana” in line with Sri Sankara’s precept of Advaitic doctrine.  It is also called “Paramakasa” level of intelligence where one is fully absorbed into divine shelter.  Otherwise inner guidance will lose cohesive reciprocation to Advaitic conscience

Amarakavi Siddeswara 1906-1993

A Sketch

The author Amarakavi, a born Siddha, is a retired official from Burma Shell, Madras, and attained Samadhi at the age of 87.  Despite his domestic base, Amarakavi has been exploring the spiritual track and field and the above third book contains his thesis and discoveries, far beyond the reach of modern science. 

The book contains no citation or reference to any verbatim quotation from Vedas and Upanishads.  But instead this is the only book on earth to authentically claim its origin and source, the same way as with the Vedas and Upanishads.  He openly declares then and there that the book is in line and on par with the Vedas and reveals the secrets of ancient Indian Spiritual wisdom known only to the 18 Siddhas with whose mental reach and depth Amarakavi is now getting stabilized gradually.  The book, in brief, is a classic and candid thesis over the unknown dimensions of human body, both Physical and Astral, and the real meaning of spiritualism as well as the popular roads to Advaitic and Super Consciousness such as Sri Vidya Upasana, Pathanjali’s Ashtanaga Yoga marga etc.

Besides, Amarakavi is unique in establishing the theory and inroads of Cosmic Consciousness in the context of “Cosmic vs. Personal” thus every bit of his experiences in the Transcendental practice on par with the Vedic Rishis, in self-experience and under the grace of “Mula Ganapathi”, his deity at worship.

No such book could emanate from an ordinary man or even Mutt Head unless Amarakavi is highly evolved with His “Grace”.  Amarakavi collected the contents of the book that descended from above as a Revelatory downpour of Inspiration under the 4^th Dimension.  Some of the Chapters in the book remain soul-stirring and open the eyes of the intellectuals in the field of science and research with the exposure of the incompetence of Science before Spiritualism.
