Sambhavi Yogam - An outline of the book by the author

Introduction  

From the Book Sambhavi Yogam BY the Author

Our physical body is a Temple of God.  All the subtlities of creation have been embedded in our body very efficiently as one layer upon another.  The secrets of creation hidden so by nature within man’s gross body are spread in an elaborate fashion in the ākāśa principle of the sky.

We cannot fly in space and control the space principle.  It thus becomes clear to us that nature has not hidden any secrets in space.  but on earth in an .  The five elements are not present in space but are on the earth in an easily identifiable fashion. 

The five elements and their combinations have not been identified so far anywhere else in the universe other than on earth.  Scientists are examining whether another earth with such combinations exists somewhere in the universe.  They are also exploring the possibility of creating such an atmosphere in some other planet so that man may colonize it in the future. 

This universe, made up of the five elements, has been present since time immemorial.  In fact, the universes were created much before man came into existence.  It is a wonder that all the principles of nature’s creation are hidden within the man like a seed that contains a mighty tree within it.  This is Lord’s greatest mystry.

When we slowly unravel the knots placed on our body’s functioning, we begin to understand the great truth of how brahma srishti (Brahma’s creation) is functioning so precisely within us.  This is how the intellect raises the divinity within us with the help of awareness and realizes its oneness with Brahman, the creator.  Amarakavi Siddheswara’s divine books help us in this pursuit of mental clarity and true knowledge.

The ultimate goal of yoga and austerities is to attain wisdom. That is, realizing the cosmic consciousness through self awareness. Man cannot achieve freedom from the whirlpool of brahma srishti unless he possesses wisdom.  Our ancestors have identified several ways in which this wisdom can be achieved.

Some are happy with devotion; some prefer ashtānga yoga while some others say that advaitic inquiry is the best means.  Several maharishis and siddhas have spent several hundred of years in austerities to bring this wisdom to the common man.  Their main expectation was that if people are aware of yoga and its various steps, first they will be clear about the goal to reach when they begin their practices.

We should remember another important point here.  We are people with families. We tackle several problems and miseries in our daily life.  It is not correct to expect to achieve, in this birth itself, all the accomplishments the Siddhas and Maharishis took several years to achieve.  Good fortune should continue in a man’s life over several births for this to happen.

One should have a long lifespan.  All the planetary positions should be favorable.  Not only that, we should live an exemplary life.  Only then will the Siddhas bless us with their grace and help us in our yoga sādhana.  To top it all, God’s grace should fall upon us.  Only if all these requirements are met will one progress in yoga and rise up.

Unfortunately, these days the religious leaders and heads of religious organizations who should be teaching people all the above mentioned facts are themselves unable to go deep into meditation.  How can they, who cannot even go to the level of prathyahara, go deep into the dhyāna stage? 

They are completely immersed in rituals and rites; they are unable to release themselves from the clutches of chittha vritti and wordly knowledge.  They are unable to reach the state of mano nāśanam.

            One should remember that unless the state of prathyahara is crossed one cannot cross the dhārana and dhyāna.  The state of dhyānśa is equivalent to nishtai.  It is the state of yoga nidra. The benefit of dhyāna is to attain the jnānadrishti or the capacity to perceive the past, present and the future. 

            Generally people blindly praise someone if they like him a lot.  They will beat anyone who talks ill of him.  Such people, even if they are spiritual, are at the apex of ego.  These days all the efforts in yoga have become so cheap. People are not motivated to seek the truth or explore nature sincerely. 

            Śambhu is Lord Siva.  His consort is Śāmbhavi.  She is the goddess who grants yoga siddhi to yogis who advance in sādhana.  In the SriVidya mārga, the methods of worship of Śāmbhavi are called śāmbhavividya.  We see people worshiping God uttering śambho śiva śambho, śambho maha deva, hara hara maha deva.

          She is the deity who grants the kundalini siddhi called śāmbhavi mudra. The joining of the bindu kala andsiva kala in our body is called sivasakti samarasa samyogam.  This technique of śāmbhavi vidya is called viśva kundalini.

Maharishis and brahmarishis of yore have gone deep into SriVidya yoga marga and identified several techniques such as śāmbhavi vidya, śāmbhavi mudraetc.However, these techniques are mentioned only as a short section in books on yoga and that too only in a few Sanskrit yoga books.

Amarakavi Siddhesvara has examined the SriVidya yoga marga deeply and in his 40^th year realized the greatness of the śāmbhavi vidya through personal experience.  The goal of this vidya is to join the jyoti yoga and nāda yoga together.  This book explains how to achieve this goal successfully.

This book which begins with prāna anala samyogam describes various topics such as the secret functions of the navel, functioning of the surya nādi, the state of merging of intellect with cosmic consciousness.  The danger of thought-free state, the way to attain peace through dhyāna, chittha prajna (the pinnacle of advaita jnāna), brahmam satyam jagat mithya - the–philosophy of advaitic and dvaitic states etc. are also elucidated here.  The deterioration of yoga, which was in a supreme position in the Kritha Yuga, is also discussed in detail. 

The ability to control nature through yoga, the prāna sakti that dangles in the exhalation, connections of the bhutākāśa, Lord’s cosmic consciousness, Siva tanmātra that can grant Isvara katāksha, nāda bindu samyuktam and the echo of the soul are thoroughly explained here. 

Śambho Siva Śambho! Śambho Mahadeva! Harahara Mahadeva!

Praise to Isvara katāksham! Praise to the Lord’s grace! Praise to the lotus feet of Amarakavi Siddhesvara

Footnote:

Readers should remember that Śāmbhavi yoga is different from Śāmbhavi vidya.  This book does not describe the various steps in the SriVidya upasana such as rules for puja, for reciting mantras, ś mbhavi mudra, Srichakra yantra upasana, or the method of worship of Śambhu or Śāmbhavi. A practitioner of SriVidya marga should learn them from other books.  This book elaborates on the inner yogic states that follow such worship and the yoga siddhis that will attained as one climbs to higher levels.  It is my sincere wish that readers should enjoy this book with this idea in mind and benefit from it.

Sambhavi Yogam

Śāmbhavi yogam

Introduction According to science sound comes from matter. But the Indian mysticism and philosophy takes a unique stand that matter emerges from sound. Even the super yogic text by Thirumoolar called Thirumandirum reveals that the creation is the outcome of an admixture of the great five elements called Prithvi, Appu, Theyu, Vayu and Akasa in a fixed proportion. It also emphasis that these five elements originate from the divine syllable and sound called Om.

Therefore it is this sound prevailing in the cosmic silence and pervading throughout the universe which underlies all God’s creations including the universe as a whole. Thus it is clear now that sound is the pivot around which the human faculties and the life force act in an unknown style of coordination for everyone to be alive and active as a man of earth. Next comes the role of light underlying the survival and existence of man on earth. Many phenomenal and noumenal activities are alive under the direction of such light. Even the soul and self have their existence and action at the behest of such a light.

To be precise the sound cited above is not an audible one to be located by the modern science. The great treatise of sri adhi sankara called Soundarya lahari seems to be a cross section of sound. The recent discovery of the Russian and American psychologists about the light body around the human physique vide Krilian photography is worth mentioning here and this luminescence all around him is the sustaining force of man’s existence on earth as a mortal. To assume this light and make it merge with the physique for a fuse is the target of yoga. Once this light body is drawn inside the physique in yoga, the man becomes a super human and this is the point of gaining the great siddies called Kaya Siddhi.

Kaya Siddhi is a super feat in yoga where man is freed from the seven ages of life (decay and destruction of gross body towards death) The mighty Siddhas claim this Siddhi in self-help backed by extreme grace of the divine. Thus the human physique is active and alive on earth at the mercy of the two vital forces called sound and light. Even in yoga man has many challenges posed by phenomenal, sensuous, and body motions through thought, breathing and speech. These three when judiciously integrated in yoga leads to unfoldment of the dark sides of the great heroes – sound and light.

Amarakavi Siddeswara was enormously graced by the divine and the cosmic truths about the entire gamut of yogic practice were revealed to him in Brahma Nishta after his successful continued penance during the past seven janmas. The relevant portions from his great works have been culled out to create this title in a way suited to the beginners and the adepts equally. Thus śāmbhavi yoga – the art of unification of nadha and bindu is well detailed in this book touching all the vital areas of cosmic truths connected with light and sound in line with the spiritual experiences of Amarakavi Siddeswara.

We hope that the readers will bask in the light of enlightenment available out of reading this unique book and grace the publisher with good support and feed back.

Cosmic Truths behind Ramayana

Cosmic Truths Behind Ramayana

Ramayana is a great epic and and treasure of India. It is a holy epic in that it reveals the code of conduct and virtues life to be followed by every man on earth. The story of Ramayana is well known to almost everybody in India. But the same epic is studded with cosmic truths behind every episode thereof which is not presented along with the story. These cosmic truths are the missing links in the task of understanding the true purport of the epic without which the study of Ramayana may sound like a senator’s reading.

Amarakavi Siddeswara, a born siddha yogi and an ardent worshiper of Mula Ganapathi, was gifted with great divine revelations in Brahma Nishta in which God compared his spiritual progress with the cosmic truths behind every episodes of Ramayana. In other words the sequence of episodes in Ramayana is symbolic of and allegory of the spiritual practice adopted by the maharishis of yore and Amarakavi equally.

This title is so well arranged in the form of tables and sequences of the episodes along with narration, pictures and commentary on cosmic truths relevant then and there with scenes. This is a unique book on the story, concept and the purpose of Ramayana full of cosmic truths behind every inch of the story. Thus this book will suit every reader of Indian mysticism, amateur or adept, to understand the path to God realization and the virtuous life adopted by Sri Rama in Ramayana in addition to many yogic feats, blessings from Gods and great seers, techniques of manipulating one’s inner faculties and trials and challenges encountered during the course of life which are allegorically highlighted in this great epic.

We are sure that by reading this wonder book written on the basis of the gospels of Amarakavi Ramachandra of South India one will steer clear of the cob webs standing in the light of understanding the truth of life and role of man against nature and fate towards self-consummation with the divine in selfless discharge of duties to God. Also the cosmic truths behind the so called concepts of soul, self, ego, intellect and other faculties underlying the modus operandi of nature with man so far unrevealed in this style in any book could well be understood to enable oneself to go subjective in spiritual march. The readers, if satisfied, may promote this divine book with good patronage and propagation.
