his is not just another
book. This book will
change your destiny. It carries secret
sounds and other tools used by enlightened
beings in ancient times from the esoteric
teachings of India.
Dr Pillai extends blessings for new adventures in your
current life in the modern age, as you read and try out the
parts that appeal to you.
The book touches on several key areas of human life and

offers plenty of practical solutions. It is a book you can read
more than once as you will experience the material in deeper
ways with repeated exposure, and as your life changes. Even
working with just a few of the techniques will bring great
benefit.
Who Is Dr. Pillai?
Dattatriya Siva Baba is a spiritual name of Dr. Pillai. (In past

years, he has also been called Sri Siva,Maharishi Brzee, Sri Guruji
and Guruji.) Dr Pillai comes from an illustrious and esoteric
lineage of enlightened Indian saints, the Tamil Siddhas, who have
been passing on enlightened teachings for thousands of years,
usuallyin very small circles of selected students.
Dr Pillai is quite radical in the presentation of these teachings. He says that from now on there are no more secrets.
Everything should be public knowledge and inexpensive. His
task is to bring these teachings to the West where there is true
yearning for wisdom.
Dr Pillai is a fully enlightened teacher. In some traditions,
6

this is understood as a prophet, a Messiah. According to an
ancient Oracle tradition, the sacred Nadi palm leaves of
Kakabhusunda, Nandi and others, Dr Pillai is an incarnation of
Lord Siva on this earth-plane. The purpose of this incarnation
isto save the world from self-destruction through intervention
from another, much higher world.
Dr Pillais book offers information that will bridge the gap
between matter and spirit for many people, and allow more
people direct experience of Divine Grace. The Nadi leaves of
Visvamitra, Agastiya, Bogar, Siva Sukshmam and Siva Vakiya
have all confirmed the divine avatar mission of Dr Pillai.
Dr Pillai currently lives in the United States with his wife
anda daughter who currently attends university.
He served as coordinator of Indian Studies within the Asian
Studies Program at the University of Pittsburgh and taught
several courses on Buddhist meditation and other Buddhist
topics. His specialty included research integrating religious
phenomena with modern science. He had training in
neuropsychology which was used in research interpreting
traditional yogic and tantric wisdoms about psychobiology. He
also served as an editor for the Encyclopedia of Hinduism.
Dr Pillai has taught meditation for two decades as well as
seminars on successful thinking all over the world. He inspired
noted author Wayne Dyer to write his recent best-selling book,
Manifest Your Destiny, which Wayne Dyer dedicated to Dr
Pillaias Guruji.
In addition, Dr Pillai has been active in the computer field
with an office in the Silicon Alley section of Manhattan. He is
also engaged in putting his mystical teachings into various
modern formats such as CD, video, and now for the first time,
a book available to the general public.

elcome to a great adventure in SelfDiscovery. The Self is a complex

concept. There is a higher Self, and
then there is this relative self. The
higher Self is the formless one which has manifested in the
formed one. We are concerned in this book with the manifested
aspect of our self, because the unmanifested aspect is incomprehensible. It is God. It has no shortcomings whatsoever. But the
manifested part has a lot of imperfections.
The Secret Sounds and other tools in this book will enable
you to create positive, powerful changes for yourself. You may
use these to benefit yourself or others.
Until now, I have never made a serious attempt to publish
my writings. There were times in the past when I was asked to
meet with attorneys to sign a contract for book deals; and at one
time my editor even took an advance, which she returned after
six months since I would not cooperate to write the book.
Many people judged me according to their own perceptions
of reality. Some said I was lazy, unreliable, and irresponsible.
Others who a were little kinder to me said, No doubt, Dr
Pillai is a rare enlightened being, but that doesnt exempt him
frombeing accountable.
But nothing of what others thought of me mattered, for I
was and continue to be in my own ivory tower which often
collapses, and like the phoenix, reemerge instantaneously. My
unwillingness to publish was not a self-determined one. In my
world there is nothing that is permanent. Everything arises and
9
falls. I have always been a witness to everything that goes on.

I must tell you if this book finally gets written and
published it is not my wish. It is the wish of the Divine to
make thesesecrets available to you.
In this connection, I remember an anecdote in the life of Sri
Ramana Maharishi, a fully enlightened being from
Triuvannamali (southern India) who left his body in 1950. His
example taught me many things as we shall see later.
Ramana Maharishi attracted many important people from
the West including Paul Brenton, Somerset Maugham, Carl
Jung, and others. It was Carl Jung who said that Ramana
Maharishi was the whitest spot in the white sky. Ramana
Maharishi left home when he was 14 or younger and meditated
all his long life.
Even after his enlightenment, and even though there was a
coterie of wealthy people who would do anything for him, Sri
Ramana never had an ashram built for himself, not even a
simple home. In fact, once when a European devotee presented
him with a Mercedes Benz, he refused to accept it. Ramana
Maharishi told the devotee, I dont know how to take care of
this cart [meaning body], and I dont need another one!
However, one day after his walk, Sri Ramana Maharishi sat
on the ground and would not get up. He said that he wanted to
construct an ashram there and that the desire was not his, but
Gods. I think I can relate to his statement.
This book, too, is Gods wish. I totally claim no credit for it.
If I happen to misrepresent anything, that, too, is Gods fault
and not mine. I am in one sense rejoicing very much, for I have
been able to bring out to the world the most precious teachings
of the enlightened Tamil Siddhas.
In many respects the Tamil Siddhas teachings are similar to
the teachings of Einstein, although the Siddhas were practical
and Einstein more theoretical.
In fact, someone told me, or I heard it somewhere, that
10
SECTION I DR. PILLAI S TEACHINGS: A BIRdS EYE VIEW
DR. PILLAIS SPEAKS
Einstein in his previous birth was Bogar, a Tamil Siddha.

Whatever may be the truth of the statement, I personally believe
it to be true because Bogar was also a mathematician; there are
unmistakable parallels. Einstein was painfully aware of the limitation of his work and the purely theoretical nature of physics
and mathematics.
Einstein wrote, Mathematics deals exclusively with the
relations of concepts to each other without consideration of
their relation to experience. The world still follows Newtonian
laws and the Einstenian universe of relativity is considered only
theoretically true. When they will become true is the day when
we begin to live the concepts or when the concepts become
experiential realities.
Wayne Dyer in his best-selling book, Manifest Your Destiny,
expresses this idea: Unfortunately, the people of the world have
yet to apply this hologrammatic understanding to their living.
Seeing ourselves as connected to all of humanity is an idea
whose time will come, and it will not be stopped.
When Wayne Dyer and I met at Ed Marzecs home in
Beverly Hills, I asked Wayne Dyer what he wanted in life. I
remember him replying, I want to disappear. I knew that he
had disappeared before in his previous life times. That is why he
speaks about Castanedas teachings from Don Juan many times,
as they contain the idea of disappearing into another world.
Disappearing with the body is realizing E=mc2 in an experiential way. The Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, Jnanasambanda,
Appar, Sundarar, Manikavacakar, and a host of Tamil Siddhas
all disappeared. None among the list of ascended masters was a
scientist, but then they had access to a higher science in which
energy and matter are experientially interchangeable.
In Einsteinian terms these masters converted their mass m
(representing their body) to the speed of light (about 183,000
miles per second) which is represented by the c2 in the equation. All that we need to know is that our physical body is
11

solidified light; and that it can be transformed back into light
particles again at will.
I want the readers of this book to know that before time in memoriam, Tamil Siddhas had bridged the gap between physical laws and real
life experiencethe problem as Einstein saw it. For instance, the
Siddhas saw the five elements as much in the physical environment as
in the body/mind and sense perceptions of life. Space, air, fire, water
and earth, all elements of nature, transform themselves into vata
(space and air), pitta (fire) and kapha (water and earth). I hope to share
more about these Siddha secrets later.
Birth and Childhood
I was born February 1, 1949 on a small island named
Rameswaram in southern India. Rameswaram is near the
southern-most tip of the Indian subcontinent and is only a few
miles away from Sri Lanka. In mythical times Lord Rama had
ordained this island as the perfect geographical space to remove
the most sinful karma. In Ramas own case he had to get rid of
his karma for having killed his rival in battle, the demonic
Ravana. Although Ravana was an evil person and deserved
death, killing someone in and of itself has its own consequences,
and Rama needed to pay for this karma.
Rama established a shrine for Lord Siva and ordained that
whosoever had done terrible karma could come to this shrine
and wash their sins in the temple. The tradition is still
followed in the temple. Pilgrims go to the temple and take a
dip in the waters from 20 or more wells that surround the
temple. With wet clothes, the pilgrims then walk into the
sanctum sanctorum. Because of this custom the temple floor is
always wet. If water can purify sins, it is truer in this temple
than anywhereelse.
Until recently I had no clear idea of why I reincarnated in
Rameswaram. Kakabhusunda, the immortal yogi of all times, in
a vision revealed to me the purpose of my birth at Rameswaram.
12
SECTION I DR. PILLAIS TEACHINGS: A BIRdS EYE VIEW

DR. PILLAIS SPEAKS
I needed to breathe and later master the spiritual energy that

dissolves terrible karma of people so that I can help them to
diffuse their karma. This vision made perfect sense to me
because, until I was 18 years old, I never left the island, so I was
soaking in the aura of Rameswaram very deeply.
I remember as a boy I used to go to the temple every single
day. My greatest attraction in the temple was not the main
deity, but a beautiful shrine of Siva Nataraj (the dancing form of
Lord Siva) which is situated in the outer corridor of the
temple. I was attracted to this spot over and over again, and I
spent allmy free time sitting there. I told my family that on my
birthday we needed to do special food offering to the dancing
Siva, apractice that went on for a while.
Even after I went to college, I came back to this shrine. But
this time I had a little more understanding. I had learned that
below the statue was the tomb of the Siddha Patanjali, the
enlightened master who is the author of the Yoga Sutras. The
Siddhas do not die. Some of them walk into a small enclosure
and turn into a Siva Linga (a holy object symbolizing Siva).
My father was a painter and sculptor. He was a good one,
although with the indifference that goes along with artists in
general. The burden of raising five boys naturally fell on my
mother who made sure that everyone had the right education
and did not become an artist!
However, I was the most beloved and problematic boy for
my mom. She loved me because I was the most intelligent of all
her kids and stood first in the class, but she hated me because I
kept her up in the night. She thought that I had insomnia and
took me to the doctor who, after examining me, concluded that
there was nothing wrong physically or mentally, although he
could not figure out why I could not fall asleep. During the
night I used to move from one bedroom to another, and my
mother had a hard time finding me out. Although my sleeplessness has continued to this day, I have greater understanding
13

about sleep now.
When I was 10, I started to meditate on my own. I
remember lighting a candle in front of a small picture of the
Buddha and meditating. I liked the Buddha because he taught
nonviolence and compassion. Even at a very young age, my
emotions were very stable.
When I was twelve, my father died of cancer, and I hardly
cried or was visibly moved. My relatives thought I was weird,
and they gave up on me when I protested against some of the
traditional funeral rites and rituals. Looking back, I now understand that my strange behavior was my protest against death
which I now clearly know is lifes slap on our face.
In 1991 my mother died and I was in the U.S., and again, I
hardly cried, but by then my understanding on this point was
much more mature. I even knew in advance that my mother
was going to die, for she had been bedridden for long time. A
few days before her death, I had Shridi Baba come to me in my
meditation. Shridi Baba was a Siddha who lived in central
Indiain the later part of the nineteenth century and died in the
earlypart of the twentieth century.
Shridi Baba told me that my mother was going through a lot
of pain and that I should give permission for her to make the
transition through the death process. My mother had been my
first meditation student, a fact that I had always been proud
of. I wanted to give her what Sri Ramana Maharishi gave to
his mother. When Ramanas mother was dying he put his hand
on the chest where the spiritual heart is and disbursed her
karma. The woman died, and Ramana declared that she
would not come back again. This is what I did for my
mother, though from a long distance. My mother cooperated
with me. She said that she had no desire to come back to the
earth-plane and washappy to be liberated from the cycle of birth
and death.
My college life was nothing spiritually significant, and I did
what other college kids did. I got out of college with a bachelors
14

DR. PILLAIS SPEAKS
degree in English Literature. I wanted to do my Masters immediately, but I was not accepted that year.
What followed was an intense period of soul-searching experience. My uncle who was a Vedic astrologer predicted a few
things which turned out to be true in spite of my attempts to
challenge them. It was my first serious attempt to look into
destiny, karma and astrology. I began to raise questions like why
someone was born rich, and someone else did not even have
food to eat; why someone despite being very intelligent could
not even get a job, while some idiot became the CEO of a
company.
I began to look for answers to these questions in Vedic
astrology which in India is a science that explains the karma of
individuals. Vedic astrology became almost an obsession in my
life during this time, and I collected about 1,000 horoscopes of
people belonging to various vocations in order to do an empirical study.
My mother was getting annoyed about my interest in
astrology and metaphysics. She wanted me to be a normal
person and pursue the common pleasures or agony of human
life, including getting a job and getting married and begetting a
bunch of kids. Her greatest dissatisfaction was my spending all
my time studying Vedic astrology, because in India it is believed
that you should not mess with ones future, for it is the realm of
the Divine. One day when I was away my mother pitched out
all my Vedic astrology books and notes and when I returned,
she threw a tantrum to underline her point. But, by this time I
was so deeply involved in the metaphysical areas of life that it
was impossible for me to lead a normal life, although during
this time I had earned my Masters degree in English Literature.
It was during this time that I met a famous man who had
influence in my life, Dr. Meenakshi Sundaram. He was a man
of great accomplishment and an internationally renowned
academician. He introduced me to Transcendental Meditation
15

as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I could not wait to
become a TM teacher. TM teacher training, which took about
four months full-time to complete, was a God-given opportunity. I take this opportunity to publicly thank Sri Guru Dev
(Maharishis guru) and the Maharishi himself for that wonderful
learning opportunity, for after the training, I was never the same
person.
I came home, and my mother was my first meditation
student. I initiated her on Ganeshas birthday. After teaching
TM for a while, I went to Rishikesh in the Himalayas to do the
TM-Siddhi training program. Being in the Himalayas widened
my interest in spirituality, and after that I returned to the
Himalayas for many meditation experiences, visiting my home
only a few times.
Again, my mother got annoyed over my spiritual inclinations, and she came up with a plot of a marriage proposal for
me and threatened that she would kill herself if I would not
accept the proposal. Indian mothers are such good adepts in
blackmailing their children, and I fell a victim. But I was clever,
too. I told my mom that I needed to go to the Himalayas for
three more months, and after that I would marry the girl.
The girl is my wife Vasantha whom I only got a glimpse of
in one of the arranged marriage interviews, traditionally set up
according to certain conventions. Vasantha was shy to look at
my face, although I was least worried about her looks, for in my
mind, my conspiracy was to please my mom temporarily and
get back to the Himalayas. I told the brides people that I would
come back after three months and marry her. I did not show up
for a year intentionally. Once you are not around for such a
long time, the brides people look for another groom. But, as
fate would have its way, I came back, and Vasantha was not still
married. I married her on September 16, 1977, again on
Ganeshas birthday.
To me being married mostly meant being stuck at one
16

DR. PILLAIS SPEAKS
geographical location, something which I never understood,

much less could actually live in this lifetime. I took a research
scholars position at the University of Madurai in the
Department of English and Comparative Literature. The
University provided me with staff quarters near the mountains,
and I spent two wonderful years in that secluded place.
My academic project was to find out the paradox that John
Donne (a famous English metaphysical poet) had faced between
God and sex. I wrote what I considered, at the time, a brilliant
dissertation on the sacred nature of carnality which paved my
way to the University of Pittsburgh where I expanded my
studies for my Ph.D. However, I dont intend to discuss my
academic life too much, for now I think such endeavors,
although not entirely meaningless, are nevertheless useless at
this point in my life.
What was very important during my university time at
Madurai was my meeting with Sri Dhandapani Desikar, my
guru who introduced me to the practice of Sri Vidya. Sri Vidya
is the most esoteric practice of meditation that only a few adept
teachers have the ability to teach.
The practice involves the worship of the goddess Lalita
Tripurasundari with the help of the mandala called Sri Chakra
or Sri Yantra. In recent times, the greatest exponent of Sri Vidya
was Swami Brahamanada Saraswati, Mahesh Yogis guru. Swami
Rama writes in his book, Living with the Himalayan Masters,
that during his days with the Himalayan master, Swami
Brahamanda Saraswati, the master had shown him a Sri Chakra
which he worshipped made out of ruby. Also, Swami Rama
writes that if he had any spiritual powers at all, they came from
Sri Vidya.
My Practice of Sri Vidya
My guru Sri Dhandapanis Desikar was a very remarkable

man. He had no formal education, yet was a professor of
17

Tamilology at the university. Every university in the state recognized his scholarship. In his long life of 85 years, Sri Desikar
had written about 180 books in all. Meeting with Sri Desikar
was a Divinely inspired event. We could not resist each other,
and Sri Desikar agreed to teach me Sri Vidya.
I went through the regular guru-disciple routine. I was literally his personal attendant helping him with all daily spiritual
and religious rituals. My day would start at 4:00 a.m. I
needed to go to the flower garden and pluck the flowers,
chanting mantras as I did the chore. Then I had to help him
bathe, soaping his body, etc. At 7:00 a.m., he would start his
puja for Lord Siva for about an hour. At 9:00 a.m., his wife
would serve us a massive lunch which often made me
uncomfortable in thebeginning, to be served so much food.
During this time Sri Desikar taught me many things of
which the most important was the worship of the goddess with
her special 16 mantras. The day Sri Desikar initiated me into
the mantras, I had a profound experience. I was initiated in the
morning. He told me there was no fee for the service, but I
needed to take some ghee (clarified butter) for the lamps to the
temple of goddess Meenakshi (who is considered a form of
Parvati, Lord Sivas wife). I sincerely carried out his instruction
and went home in the evening.
Around midnight, I was awakened from a very vivid
dream. I saw the goddess, but she was in her ferocious form.
She carrieda trident and seemed as though she wanted to kill me
with it. Iscreamed and woke up. My wife heard my cry, and she
woke up too. The image of the goddess began to haunt me.
Everywhere Iwent, I saw her constantly in front of me, though
she was not pointing her trident towards me any more. But I
was still scaredand did not want to do anything with her.
I stopped visiting my guru for a couple of days. Sri Desikar
apparently knew exactly what was happening to me and sent for
me. I went and saw him and confessed what had happened. Sri

DR. PILLAIS SPEAKS
Desikar said what had taken place was remarkable. He said the
goddess was responding to my prayer, and on my request, he
changed my vision of the goddess into a pleasant one.
Since then the goddess has been with me doing many, many
miracles in my personal life, except for a few years when she left
me for some reasons that I cant discuss here at this time.
Some Miracles with the Goddess
For the worshippers of Sri Vidya, the goddess in general

appears in two ways. One form is as a light being visible to the
eyes, but not tangible. This form is rare, but then, it is the most
powerful appearance of the goddess. In Sanskrit this phenomenon is called darshan (sacred seeing) of the goddess. I have had
many such experiences of the goddess and could call her at any
time. I have also been able to show her to other people who are
worthy of the darshan.
The other form that the goddess appears is in the form of
human females. In the sacred literature of the goddess, it is
stated very clearly that the woman and the goddess are the same
expression of the Great Archetypal Female. This is the reason
why that my charitable organization, Tripura Foundation, and
other enterprises are run mostly by women. In fact, the Tripura
Foundation was started with a donation of $18,000 given by a
woman who wanted to remain anonymous. She never has said
anything to anyone about her donation. Since then many
women have served the organization selflessly.
The most important help I received from the goddess was
during the time I was doing my Ph.D. program. I started out
late and knew too much about life, which was actually a
hindrance for a student. I never kept my appointments with my
examiners; I saw them very seldom and never did anything on
time, despite their expectations.
Not that I was irresponsible, but I was responsive to the
moment. I was trying to find out how the moment existed in
19
18

DR. PILLAIS S PEAKS
time and space. I did at least explain this to one examiner who
was willing to be my student. He told me that he understood
my problems, but insisted that I should be functional in a world
of cause and effect, a problem that I may never be able to solve.
During this time the goddesss help was very practical. She
knew that I could not read everything in the many, many
textbooks that I was expected to read. She was very sharp and to
the point. She provided me with the ability to know the
questions beforehand so that I prepared answers only for those
questions. I know every student who reads this would be
envious of me and want to develop a relationship with the
goddess! But I must tell you that the grace of the goddess is the
result of spiritual work done in many life times. Shankara, the
Einstein of Indian mysticism, after his hair-splitting encounters
with intellectuals, came to the goddess for his liberation and
happiness.
I must also tell you that the most powerful way of
invoking a divine entity is to use the mandala for that being.
Within thegoddess tradition, the most powerful tool used in her
invocation is the Sri Yantra (also called Sri Chakra). Sri
Yantra or Sri Chakra is a formation of 43 triangles transposed
in a certain geometrical pattern within concentric circles
enclosed by squares.
Sacred geometry belongs to the language of the divine. It is
such a powerful tool that the Divine lets only certain individuals
who have transcended their ego-self know its secrets. Everything
from attracting a woman or a man you want, or incredible
wealth, or talking to dead people, to harming your enemies, can
be accomplished through the use of the mandalas. In other
words, mandalas are the DNA codings of a universal energy
system. The Tamil Siddhas are quite adept in this esoteric
system.
Another major gift that I received from Sri Desikar was initiation into the five important mantras representing the five faces
of Lord Siva. The five faces of Siva (Isana, Tatpurasha, Aghora,

Vama and Sadhyojata) are five parts of the human brain. The
initiation was so powerful that revelations about the five parts of
the brain keep coming to me in an unending way. The initiation was in 1981, and in a prestigious conference presided by
Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner, I presented the correlation
between the five faces of Lord Siva and the human brain. At
some point in my life, it is my destiny to reveal the secrets of
awakening the five faces of Siva. This book is to begin preparing
people, so I do hope many of you will actually practice some of
the techniques I give here, so later I can share more with you.
You must begin preparations now.
Without much further ado, I want to dwell on some of my
enlightenment experiences, just a few, and I am deeply indebted
here to two great spiritual masters of the last century who I
never physically met: Bhagavan Rajneesh (also known as Osho)
and J. Krishnamurti.
I have read almost every piece of Sri Rajneeshs writings and
experimented with most of the techniques advocated by him. It
was during one of the dance meditations called Nataraj that I
fell down and was in Samadhi for 12 hours. Since then, there
was a great shift in my consciousness which got intensified in
my attempt to understand time.
One day I was reading J. Krishnamurtis excellent, although
somewhat advanced book, Ending Time. The book is a very
intense conversation between Dr. David Bohm and J.
Krishnamurti. Dr. Bohm in that book pushes Krishnamurti to
explain thought and time. As I was reading this book, my mind
blanked and experienced no time. This was the scariest experience that I ever had. I felt that the Divine was giving me a
choice to be here in the mind or be totally mindless. I thought
that I had almost lost my sanity and wouldnt be able to come
back to the normal world. With tremendous effort, I came
back; and I am glad that I did, for I never wanted to be a yogi
20

in a coma.
Recently during a public gathering, I said that I knew the
ugliness of silence, and this is a commentary about the Divine
coma stage. I must add also I had an extended trance experience
practicing a light technique described in the book, The Secrets of
the Golden Flower.
During my long search for enlightenment, I have had the
grace of several gurus, Siddhas and Divine beings, and I am
grateful to all of them. I have learned something from every one
of them. My ultimate encounter with enlightenment was due to
the infinite Grace of the Dancing Siva at Chidambaram in
India. I have had a very long term relationship with Him in
many, many births. His guiding hand leads me every minute of
my life. Some day He will, through me, reveal the secrets of the
five letters NA MA SI VA YA which is the answer to the
mystery of the universe. Every master comes to the earth-plane
with a mission and his own idiosyncratic version of enlightenment. It is so beautiful to see so many blossoms from God with
such miraculous colors.
It does not make sense to me that the truth is
one/none/many. To me, celebration is the only Truth there is.
This is the secret of the dancing Siva at Chidambaram. Lord
Siva is the eternal dancer who lives both stillness and dance
simultaneously. This is the meaning of the marvelous sculpture
of the dancing Siva Nataraj which has attracted the attention of
the entire world.
During my long path of inquiry through several of my
births, I have found that Truth is open-ended, and even the
Absolute is Relative, as time causes evolution. As digital science
begins to understand the nuances of light and sound waves,
there will be an outburst of wisdom that will bring heaven on
earth. This will be my mission in the years to come. But for
now, I wish to open up the world of secret sounds (mantras)
and other tools.

everything into just a book! But hopefully, you will find some
things here that are useful to you.

This is my first book. And as I stated earlier, it is not from

OM NA MA SI VA YA.
March, 2002
New York, New York
The above pages of my autobiography were written in 1997,
and I had put them aside until now. During the past five years
many, many things have occurred. I dont currently intend to
discuss them in this brief sketch of my life. Sometime later if I
find it necessary, I will do a longer version of my spiritual autobiography.
I feel compelled to say something about Nadi astrology.
Nadi astrology is a special form of astrology practiced by the
Siddhas of ancient India. The Siddhas, who are enlightened
beings, recorded on palm leaves the life eventspast, present,
futureof some souls in order to help them in this lifetime.
There are many types of Nadi astrology, and one should
approach them with caution, discrimination, and intelligence.
One of the most remarkable Nadi leaves came from the enlightened sage Saint Visvamitra. There are many types of Visvamitra
leaves, and all of them are not of the same quality. It is fair to

say that Saint Visvamitra contacted me through his leaves.
These leaves were in the possession of a guy who has been
reading regularly for the prime minister and president of India.
The leaves commissioned this guy by saying that he should seek
me out and read my future to me. To make a long story short,
through a series of miracles, he came to see me. The leaves
opened up a new world for me.
I remembered many of my past lives as great saints of India.
The final revelation was that I was the incarnation of Siva himself.
It is embarrassing for me to write this. But since I am neither
attracted nor repulsed by it, I decided to include this information.
Nevertheless, I also wrote sometime ago the following lines in
response to those predictions.
The Human Becoming the Divine
It is very interesting to dwell upon the process of the human

becoming the Divine. Within the Hindu-Buddhist tradition,
the difference between the human and Divine is a matter of
consciousness. The human is limited. The human is stuck in the
material body and in an ignorant mind, whereas the Divine has
no material existence and has a divine mind. The Divine is also
infinitely intelligent. Mans destiny is to become, ultimately,
Enlightenedwhat this means is that the human is becoming
the Divine. To use the terminology of physics, it is matter
becoming energy. The Judeo-Christian tradition also has some
reference to the relationship between the human and the
Divine. The Bible says that God created man in his own image.
This means that God has an image, and it looked like the image
of a human being.
All traditions speak about angels and other Divine beings.
Mythology has it that these Divine beings have no physical
body, although they have a form made up of light. They appear
and disappear by their choice and by their power make themselves known to certain human beings.

DR. PILLAIS SPEAKS
The transition from a material body to an immaterial

body is a fascinating experience. Over the past two years I have
had many revelations about the evolution of my soul. Ancient
palm leaves in India that are in possession of some
individuals unveiled my previous incarnations on this
earth-plane. Evidently, I have had thousands of incarnations,
if not more.The palm leaves revealed a few of them: Bhishma,
Agastiya,Bhrigu, Manikavacakar and Swami Ramalingam.
My Bhishma incarnation is the weakest when compared to
the rest. No doubt Bhishma was semi-Divine, but then I had to
die at some point, although it was my own personal choice. I
died on a bed of arrows at the beginning of the Winter solstice
when the sun moved into Capricorn. The Agastiya incarnation
is very interesting. As Agastiya, the palm leaves maintain that I
visited the earth-plane some 800 times. In some incarnations
out of the 800, I stayed here for some years and at other times, I
appeared and disappeared staying only for a few hours or few
months. I had miraculous powers to acquire a body and to
dissolve it at will. It is because of this reason that Lord Siva once
said that Agastiya was his equal.
My incarnation as Manikavacakar was the most agonizing
one. I documented my frustrations in the thousands of hymns
that I wrote during that incarnation. I resented my filthy
human body, my ignorant mind and the torture of the five
senses. Although I was the Prime Minister of the King and
enjoyed the royal benefits of that office, my mind was little at
peace. The appearance of Lord Siva in the guise of a human
guru to initiate me was a turning point in my life. After the
initiation I was transformed. I was no longer the Prime
Minister. Nevertheless, I was not fully Enlightened either. I still
had to battle with my human body, mind, and the senses. But
finally, at the Chidambaram Temple, Siva absorbed me into his
image. Even today psychics perceive my image inside the
Dancing Siva at Chidambaram.
25

My absorption into the image of Siva is very fascinating.
Lord Siva turned my body into light, and I was pulled into the
Lords image. I was thankful to Siva for ending my karma and
uplifting me to his level. It was such a blissful experience.
However, I had a deep desire to know the dynamics of the
material body turning into light. So, Lord Siva gave me another
birth as Ramalingam. This time, the purpose of the incarnation
was to systematically and experientially understand the transformation of the body into light.
My entire life as Ramalingam was spent on giving theoretical
and practical proof as to how matter can turn into light. From a
theoretical standpoint, two basic principles are very important.
One is the gross five elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space
turning to their corresponding insubstantial energy forms. The
second principle is the opening of the Third Eye that results in the
removal of seven layers of material and energy consciousness. It is
important to note that these two purificatory processes are fairly
difficult to accomplish by human efforts alone. It is ultimately
upto the mercy of Siva that accomplishes it.
Siva appeared before Ramalingam, who was sleeping on the
floor. He woke him up. Ramalingam saw the splendor of Sivas
form. Siva then hugged him. Ramalingams body instantaneously became a light body. He also developed the Third Eye
of Siva. Siva then left and Ramalingams body reverted back to
its original flesh and blood form. Ramalingam was quite
unhappy. Nevertheless, he remembered the initiation and hoped
that one day he would permanently get the Light Body.
Accordingly, in 1873 Ramalingams body turned into Light.
Many of his disciples were in awe, but none wanted the Light
body. Ramalingam was upset that his students preferred three
meals and full gossip over the Light Body. He decided to take
off and come back at a later time. So, he disappeared on January
30th of 1874.
The recollection of my incarnations as Manikavacakar and

Ramalingam has done immense good for the evolution of my

soul. Both were fully realized beings and identified themselves
with Siva himself. They both claimed that after their
encounter with Siva, they had become Siva himself. However,
both felt that although they became Siva, Lord Siva was still
different from them. This is in accordance with the Saiva
philosophy that your soul is part of Siva but not Siva himself.
Swami Ramalingam, before he took off, proclaimed that the
God of Light, Siva, would come to the Earth-plane and stay
there for awhile performing numerous miracles and transforming the planet Earth.
It is interesting that the palm leaves have now revealed that
Siva has indeed come to the earth-plane. He is within my body
and will reveal himself soon. I am myself both fascinated and
excited. On the one hand, I experience this human body with
gastric troubles, toothache, poor vision, etc., combined with
other human limitations caused by maya, karma and ego. I am
awaiting very eagerly for the transformation of this body into
Light. This event, when that happens, will have a huge impact
on the evolution of planet Earth. As a human being I am fully
aware that I cannot manipulate this transformation. It is purely
the decision of the Divine. I invite students to pray devoutly to
Siva to descend into my body for the upliftment of the human
beings on planet Earth.

Before you enter the body of the book

it is important for you to understand
the concepts of karma and mantra.
Karma is what governs life.
Mantra is what corrects it.

Karma and Mantras
onsider this example: Someone is the president

of a country; someone else lives as a homeless
person in the same country. Why is there this
inequality? How come some get everything so
easily and others have to work hard and still get nothing and
suffer? The answer is: its all the individuals karma. Karma is the
only theory that can explain the mysteries of lifethe mystery
of joy and suffering, health and disease, success and failure, long
life and premature death and other dichotomies.
Simply put, karma is your past life: the desires and plans
that you held in your previous life. These are now presenting
themselves in this life. They may not necessarily be from your
most immediate past life. They may be from other lives that you
had lived long ago.
In fact, what you call the present or the future is indeed your
past. Everything that you wanted to do in the past, you are now
doing in the present. These things may end now, or they may
not end now. Maybe it will take a few more births to end them.
This is the philosophy of karma: you desire something and
create karma and a lifetime (or lifetimes) to experience it.
I am going to take you on a tour of life with its joys, trials
and tribulations. Understanding life is about understanding
karma. For your quick reference, I have put together a short
FAQ followed by a longer chapter on karma.
29
Karma: Frequently Asked Questions
What is karma?
Karma is the spiritual law of cause and effect. Through good
acts you create good karma, and through bad acts you create
bad karma. For instance, if you have done good actions in your
past lives, this lifetime will bring a life of luxury, good health
and happiness. Conversely, bad karma from past lives will create
problems, suffering and poverty in this lifetime.
Can one change his or her karma?
Yes and no. Karma is ones destiny. There are certain types of
karma that you can change, and some types you cant change.
For instance, it is impossible to change an orange into an apple
or a donkey into a horse. But, it is certainly possible to change
ones financial or relationship karma.
We came to the earth-plane to undergo karma. Is it not wrong to
change ones karma?
If you have good karma and that good karma is giving you
good results, you dont need to change that karma. Bad life
created by bad karma must be changed. It is not a good idea to
prolong pain and suffering in the name of God or bad karma.
Do our present acts create karma?
Yes. Not only your acts create karma, but even your
thoughts also create karma. You should be careful about what
you think.
Can I change the karma of someone else?
You could. But I advise against it. When you interfere with
the karma of others, there is always a price to be paid. One
should be strong enough to take on the karma of others before
attempting this.
What is the relationship between karma and reincarnation?
Reincarnation is caused by karma. If there is no karma in
your stockpile, there will be no reincarnation.
How do I change my karma?
30

The easiest way to change your karma is to use the mantra

Thiru Neela Kantam. You visualize a blue light in your throat
and go on chanting this mantra at your throat. This mantra will
reverse your bad karma. In addition to chanting the mantra,
you need to reprogram your mind with positive affirmations. A
set of positive affirmations is in the section, Prayer to the
Mind on my CD, Meditations and Affirmations with a Master.
Karma, Destiny, Growth
In short, karma is your destiny. An orange seed has a destiny

to grow into an orange tree. An apple seed grows into an apple
tree. Just as a plant has a destiny so does every human being.
Destiny is destination. You start out at a point and then
move forward. Finally, you stop moving forward, and the
momentum ends.
Growth is a mystery. Ironically, growth itself is a process of
decay! A child is growing, but at the same time it is decaying!
The child is growing towards old age and death.
It is the mystery that led the Buddha to explore life. The
Buddha said, I am a prince, but what good is it if I am going
to decay? And, in his escapades out of the palace, he went out
and confronted people who were suffering from illnesses. He
discovered that the skin shrinks and a once beautiful face
becomes ugly. Some become crippled and disabled. He
demanded: What good is this life? I must find out the meaning
of this life.
I dont want to sound too philosophical. There is an
expression, Philosophy never bakes bread, which is to say
philosophy is not practical. So, what is karma again? Karma is
the force which causes you to reincarnate. Birth after birth, you
come into being because there is this cyclical karmic force which
creates life to experience desires which you had no time to
experience in that lifetime. And for some, a time comes when
you dont want to come back at all, because you are tired of
31

coming back and you want to return to Being. Then karma
ends.
So karma is not just a metaphysical philosophy. It is real.
Whatever you think becomes a reality in the invisible spacetime complex of your soul, and then this manifests in life after
an appropriate lapse of time.
The Buddhists say that you cannot end karma until you
become totally empty. When you are empty, there will be no
more movement; there will be no more desire. And when there
is no more desire, there is no possibility for life. Every one of
you has come here to act out something in life. You came here
to become the president of the country or to be a homeless
person. You came here to marry someone or to divorce someone
else. You came here to experience success or incredible prosperity. Or, you came here to go through poverty and slavery.
Why Do You Do What You Do?
I can understand people coming to live a prosperous life, but

who wants poverty? It is a learning process. On the earth-plane
you learn everything through trial and error. That is the structure of human knowledge. You constantly go on making
mistakes. Why are you not able to make a perfect computer?
Every year companies make imperfect computers knowingly,
because there is no way they can make a perfect computer. Same
thing applies to life. You experiment with this man or woman,
with this job or another, and then move on to get a new better
partner or vocation.
Story of the Invention of the Bicycle
I often talk about an interesting anecdote as some people

find it easier to understand things through stories. One day I
was watching a Disney movie for kids. The Disney movie was
narrating the history of the invention of the bicycle. The movie
explained that when the bicycle was first invented in France, not
very many people could afford it. Only aristocrats could afford
32
SECTION TOPIC
it, and they would only use it on special occasions. For example,
when an aristocrat had a date, the aristocrat would ride a bicycle
so as to impress the woman he was courting. It was a status
symbol.
And the funny thing about the bicycle was that the original
bicycle did not have a brake. The man who invented it did not
see the necessity for a brake. He told the aristocrats, What you
do to stop the bicycle is dash against a tree and hold onto the
tree. Then the people who tried this method of course crashed,
and they thought it was a really stupid way to stop a bicycle.
They decided we have to somehow stop the bicycle from
moving in an easier way. So, they invented the brake for the
bicycle.
Psychic Technology
We are continuing in the same line of development today.

We now have cellular phones that we can take anywhere, even
to the bathroom! We have phones in the airplanes that we can
use. And, at some point, we are going to realize it is better to
psychically communicate. Then we dont need a phone. And
what will transmit our voice is space. We are going to do it
sometime. Why not do that right now?
In Atlantis, people were doing thatusing psychic communication. But in our age, it is going to take time, because the
model that modern science follows is limited. Its very, very
limited. However, the people on this planet could make a
collective decision to do things in an easier way!
In India all these various limitations were challenged many,
many thousands of years ago by the yogis. They said all of these
things, including the phenomenal world, are only a fabrication
of your mind. What exists is your own mind.
Creations of the Mind
If one has no mind, then nothing will be out there in the

world. Everything is created by the mind, including a physical
33

object like this. You have to have a mind which can hold this
object as a thought in your brain. Look at sleep. When you are
sleeping, nothing exists. Remember that during sleep, you are
not dead. The mind is dead. The mind is not there. So when
the mind is not there, then everything disappears. In the
morning, when the mind comes back, everything comes into
existence.
So the mind creates. Nothing creates, but the mind. We
have to understand the human mind. It creates through
thoughts, through understanding. Karma is also created through
the mind. The mind creates psychic impressions that somehow
stay in the cosmos, and then these impressions cause a person to
reincarnate.
So we have to become very, very responsible in handling our
mind, because whatever we think is going to become a reality.
As I said in the beginning, our life as it is now is a result of our
own thoughts in our past lives. We have to become very, very
careful about what we think, because what we think is going to
manifest as reality.

In this experiment the cancer patients were told that they are
going to receive chemotherapy, and the treatment may cause
loss of hair. The doctors didnt administer chemotherapy, but
instead a placebo was given. Nevertheless, 35 percent of the
people lost hair anyhow.
This led Cousins to make very serious objections about
preventative [measures]. We give some information to people to
help prevent certain things from happening, but it may produce
a countereffect. An innocent woman who doesnt know about
breast cancer is told to examine her breasts periodicallywho
knows what is going to happen? Somebody is going to realize
that fear in a physical form.
Changeable vs Unchangeable Karma
I will give you a practical example. Norman Cousins was an

old acquaintance of mine. He wanted me to come and work
with him in UCLA on a project about psycho-neuroimmunology. What this high-sounding word means is that your
thoughts become your biology. He had a number of projects in
this country and also in Europe to discover how thoughts get
translated into biological reality.
The major experiment he conducted was on cancer patients
with at least 500 people in each experimental group. This experiment was repeated both in Europe and in this country. These
cancer patients were tested for a placebo effecthe wanted to
see how powerfully people translate a certain idea into biological
realities.
Now I am going to confine my current discussion to one

area of karma, the karma which cannot be changed easily. You
have certain givens [or conditions] in this life. For instance, I
have brown skin. If I want to turn it into white skin, its not
going to happen.
I might bleach myself and invite more problems. I have
selected certain situations in my life which are very, very difficult to change. Thats why people come to me saying that they
have wanted to change their life ten years ago, but day after day
they wake up to the same reality. They have not been able to
make changes in a significant way.
Why? It is because the givens are like water which has
become ice cubessolid matter. It is very difficult to change
solid matter. Everything starts out as energy and becomes
matter and when energy has become a material reality, the
changes are very, very difficult to make.
Im not saying that it is impossible. You can change these
things. But, we have to operate with the fact that we are dealing
with matter-of-fact.
Matter is a fact. This is an area which is resistant to change
34
35
Thoughts Become Biology

because of its physicality.
In Sanskrit they call it the most difficult karma to change,
prarabdha. Prarabdha is that which is going to be experienced
by you no matter what you do.
That is why when self-help people tell me that you create
your own reality, I tell them this is only true in a limited sense.
There have been many self-help books, but how many people
have been able to turn their lives around? They have been
reading hundreds and hundreds of books on self-help which all
say you create your own reality and the sky is the limit.
How many of you have dramatically changed your lives?
What is the percentage of people who have been able to change
their lives? One percent? Two percent Ninety percent fail.
This is what people have to look at...
For most people, change has not happened yet. Day by day
we wake up to the same old reality. We get frustrated. Even
people who write books saying that you can do everything, they
get frustrated, too, although they may not acknowledge it!
?
Prarabdha: Difficult Karma

So there is a reality that is very difficult to change,
prarabdha. These are the givens. And we created them. And
these are what we need to diffuse. The diffusion cannot be done
by the mind. Thats the most important thing that we have to
understand.
Mentally you can go on making affirmations, writing affirmations, making promises that I wont repeat this; I will
change this; I wont repeat this behavior. But constantly you
make the mistake over and over again.
Why do we do that? Because of karma. Karma is the spell.
Everyone is under a spell. In Sanskrit they have a word called
samskara which means innate qualities or certain proclivities
with which you are born. That is the karma from a previous
birth.
36

Someone has come with a mindset that he has taken birth to

do certain things. No matter what you do to change him, he is
not going to change. This holds true for everyone. Everyone of
us is under a spell. We are unconscious. We are unconsciously
led to the process of staying with a certain mindset because it is
very, very difficult to be alert and be otherwise.
It is easy to be a robot. That is how we live life. We are not
conscious at all. The Buddha said that you consider yourself to
be in a waking state, but you are not. You are under a spell as if
you are drugged. You follow the same path. You are incapable of
making changes. The mind thinks, I want to change my life. I
want to change my car. I want to change my apartment. I want
to change my job. I want to manifest a good relationship.
You want it on a mental level, but then it is not happening.
Why? Because of the spell. Because of the robot mind. The
influence of karma forces you to carry on with the misery. You
must ponder this very soberly. Be sincere. Share this material
with others who may be interested.
You have to become alert to the core. You have to create
more energy to diffuse the past life karma. When you become
alert, you begin to challenge reality, challenge karma. When you
challenge karma, you are not going to accept things as they are.
Every minute you are going to be conscious. At no time are you
going to be unconscious.
If you are unconscious, you are allowing things to happen.
You are causing the karma to manifest. The moment you
become alert, you challenge the cause of karma. So the way to
diffuse karma is to become alert and not allow the robot to
continue in its unconscious way.
We love to forget ourselves. We dont know that we are even
breathing. Thats why the Buddha said breathe for an hour. And
he said that while you are doing this exercise, you have to be so
conscious that you should not miss even one breath. Because
the breath and the mind are related processes.
37

But the reality is you cannot put your mind on the breath
even for five minutes. If you successfully become aware of your
breath for an hour, that will change your life entirely because by
that time you will have created enough energy, enough alertness
to diffuse karma.
Diffusing Karma
So, what will diffuse karma is attention. If you are attentive,

then things cannot get overlooked. You can stop things by
virtue of your own attention. Why dont we have much attention now? We are lazy. So, with attention, you can stop things.
This is the law of nature. Attention means care. Attention and
care are synonymous. If you bring more attention, you bring
more care.
You dont care now. Mike Tyson has great muscles. You and I
dont have these. Why? Did he care for his muscles? He did. Did
you care for your muscles? No. And how did he care for them?
His whole life was the muscles.
So what you need is care, more attention. When you bring
more attention, then you become more alert. Then karma will
stop. Karma stops because you are waking up to a different
dimension of existence where you are able to see the karma
coming forth, and then the attention burns off the karma.
This is how you avoid the dangers that are yet to come.
Patanjali, the enlightened Indian yogi who compiled the Yoga
Sutras, speaks about why one needs to meditate. He says you
have to meditate because you have to avoid the danger that has
not yet come.
You have created enough dangers for several lifetimes. They
are unfolding. This lifetime is not enough to live those events,
so you are going to create other lives to enjoy it or suffer it. So
what you have to do is just meditate more.
By meditating you create more awareness. The Buddha sat
under the bodhi tree before his enlightenment, and he began to
38

relive all the karma that he had to pass through. And, in that
way, he emptied the karma.
Then, there was no more karma to emerge. That is why he
said that total reality is emptiness. There is nothing out there
and in that emptiness you are full. Emptiness is not a negative
quality. Emptiness is unlimited life in which you are not
defined. You are infinite. And that, he said, is the nature of
every human being, to live without karma.
When you become more aware, you see into the limited
circumstances that the mind both creates and makes real. For
example, look at a six-year-old girlshe wants all kinds of toys.
And what is your attitude toward the girl? Why does she want
all these toys? Why does she want chocolate all the time? But for
the kid, it is so real and so tempting.
The same analogy applies to grown-up people also. The
only thing is that they like different toys. The toys are different.
For the grown-ups, these toys are very real.
The Buddha was able to see that all these are games. You
have to end playing these games at some point in your life.
When you do that, you end karma. What can help you come to
this conclusion is more awareness. More awareness means more
intelligence.
The term Buddha means one who has accessed buddhi.
Buddhi means Intelligence. It is not intelligence in the Western
psychological sense. Intelligence is universal understanding in
which you understand everything about yourself and about the
cosmos.
From that perspective, everything seems to be a gamean
illusion. One has to wake up to the reality which is infinite
intelligence. Intelligence is synonymous with awareness. You
have to become aware.
You eat with awareness.
You sleep with awareness.
You study with awareness.
39

You work with awareness.
You play with awareness.
You never lose your awareness no matter what you do. What
happens now is that your awareness is being eaten by your thought
process. The thought process is like a vampire. It sucks up all of
your energy and limits you. And you live a life as though there is
no existence other than thought existence.
Thoughts are your guests. They check in and check out. You
are the host. No thought can remain within the system forever.
Become alert. The thought will fall away like a dead leaf from a
tree. The moment you become aware and tell yourself, This
thought is trying to cheat me and make me unhappy; I dismiss
you, the thought will fall away.
If you give reality to a thought, that thought will give rise to
another thought and another thought and another. And, Oh,
how he cheated me on this, and then you will begin to analyze
all the incidents trying to make up a case to make yourself more
miserable. You can become alert and dismiss the thought. I
dont want it. I dont want to be unhappy. I dont want this
thought at all. And for that you need more consciousness,
more awareness, because you cant allow the robot thought to do
its thing.
Sometimes it is the knowledge that becomes the problem.
Shakespeare had a great understanding about this. In his play,
Othello, somebody came and told Othello that his wife,
Desdemona, was having an affair with another guy, even though
this was not actually true. He successfully planted this
suspicion in Othellos mind, and Othellos mind began to
rage. This woman is cheating me! And in the play he puts
his hands on his head to see if he has developed horns. The
gesture is from abelief in ancient Greece that if your wife cheats
on you, you willgrow horns. And he begins to analyze the
situation. He continues to analyze and analyze, and then he
concludes, I amlike dust in the wind.
40

He wonders what is bothering him: is it Desdemonas sex act

with this guy or the knowledge that he has that she slept with
him? And he says, I had been happy if the general camp... had
tasted her sweet body, so I had nothing known. So what
bothers him is not the actual act, but the knowledge that she
has slept with this man, which he does not know whether it is
true or not.
So, you have to step outside the thought process and for that
you need awareness. And then you can check out what you can
do and what you cannot do. Sometimes there will be an obstinate thought. By becoming more conscious you can stop these
processes and when you do that, you are diffusing karma. You
have to learn to develop more consciousness within you.
There is a bodily awareness that you have to create, and then
awareness of the consciousness itself is another project. While
sitting here, you can become conscious. Right now, you are
unconscious. I can create consciousness in you provided I tell
you how to do it. Its a simple exercise. Try this right now.
Just sit and then become conscious of yourself, conscious of
your body. In order to remain focused, you should keep your
eyeballs still. Keep your eyeballs still and just become conscious
of your skin all over the body. You will be creating an energy
field.
You see how it happens? So, if you remain in this way, youll
become more and more conscious. The Buddhists believed in
this methodology because it agreed with their system in which
there is no God and no soul. What exists is your own consciousness. You are not using your consciousness in the right way.
This is the Buddhist model. But I dont quite totally
subscribe to the Buddhist model. My own tradition is a
tradition that equally emphasizes changing the physical reality.
My tradition is called the Tamil Siddha tradition. Its a tradition
that is not very well known.
These enlightened sages believe in changing life both
41

materially and spiritually. You have to challenge even your
material reality and change it not for the next life, but right now
for this life. So their philosophy is 200 percent life: 100 percent
material progress, 100 percent spiritual change.
How can I change my karma?
The simple answer is: use a mantra.
Mantra: Magical Sound That Can Change Your Life
What is a mantra?
A mantra is a magical sound. It is a Divine tool to create
whatever you want to create.
Who discovered the mantras?
The mantras are part of the space energy. (Space energy is
one element among five, the others being earth, water, fire, air.)
Meditating on the space energy, the ancient enlightened yogis
discovered the sounds in deep states of trance, called Samadhi.
How old are the mantras?
The mantras have no beginning nor an end. They are as old
as space and the universe.
What is the oldest extant literature on the mantras?
The Vedas (Books of Knowledge) written in Sanskrit are the
oldest texts on mantras. They may date back to 1500-1000 B.C.
The Vedas talk about the use of mantras to get into nonordinary
states of consciousness and for obtaining spiritual as well as
material things.
How do mantras work to get whatever you want to get?
Mantras are energy forms of matter. For instance, you want
to buy a house or a car. There is a specific energy form that
controls matter that gives you material comfort. In this case, I
recommend the use of the mantra Shreem. You go on using
the mantra repeatedly. The mantra will then attract the
car/house towards you. It is magical.
How can a small sound attract large things like cars/homes?
42

No doubt the mantras are tiny, often with only one or two
syllables. But, is it not true that the atoms, tiny as they are, carry
enormous power? The mantras are called Bijas in Sanskrit which
means seeds. The seed carries the tree within itself.
I compare the mantras to DNA. Each DNA is a miniature
of a particular person. With the help of DNA you can identify a
person, and perhaps in the future, even clone the individual.
Mantras are energy DNAs. You implant them in your mind,
and then you manifest the energy.
How long does it take to get results from the use of mantras?
It varies from person to person. Some people have gotten
results in days, and some take months. The bottom line is that
you use the mantra until you get the results.
I am a very busy person. I dont have the time to sit and meditate. Is
there a mantra that I can practice in a few minutes?
There is a one minute meditation which is very powerful.
See the One Minute Mantra in Part III.
Should I chant a mantra aloud or think it mentally?
Mantras can be chanted as well as used mentally. When the
mind is noisy, use the verbal chanting method. When your
mind is quiet, use the mantra mentally. The thinking method
will quiet the mind and will give you tranquility.
Will there be any bad results that may come out of the mantras?
There are mantras to create bad effects like hurting others,
etc. Those mantras are excluded from this book. I have only put
in benign ones.
I am Christian/Jew/Moslem. Will this practice of mantras interfere
with my religion?
Mantras are areligious, although they were originally discovered by the yogis of India and have long been part of the Hindu
tradition. The practice of a mantra does not convert one to
Hinduism or interfere with your spirituality.

SECTION IIPERSONAL TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM

CHAPTER I: PHYSICAL APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY
The mind is a bunch of sounds. This is the theory of the

Siddhas.
What do the Siddhas mean by this? Your mind is made up
of language. Ninety percent of your mind is language. If you
pull out language from the mind, the mind would not exist.
Then, what is language? Language is soundconceptual
sound and meaning in some relationship of reference. Now,
what is sound? Sound is just a bunch of vowels and consonants.
So if you understand vowels and consonants, you have understood part of your mind.
So, if you want to change your mind, change the sounds in
your consciousness. Your mind has a sound pattern. Your
unconscious has a sound pattern. Even your soul belongs to
some vowel or consonant group.
John Edwards, the TV psychic who reads spirits messages,
uses this knowledge. Nadi astrology of the Siddhas also uses the
sound techniques to identify souls.
Consciousness itself is sound. So if you change sounds
within the system, then you can make lasting changes in your
life. All that you need to do is to change the sounds of your
consciousness at a very deep level.
When the yogis talk about sounds, they dont talk about
only the spoken sounds. Spoken sounds are only very gross
form of sounds. Spoken sounds emerge from unmanifest levels.
The evolution of speech is as follows: first, there is a thought
sound (thought also has a sound) called nada and paranada.
The thought sounds become speech sounds.
In order to make significant changes in your life, all that you
need to do is to rearrange the sound patterns of your own
consciousness. This is what mantras do.
Mantras are sounds of the unconscious. While you are meditating on the mantra, the mantra takes you very deep into the
layers of the unconscious. Thats why people who use mantras
get dramatic results.

You dont have to know many things. Transcendental
Meditation (TM) became popular in the United States because
they use mantras. They dont want to waste your time giving a
big intellectual seminar on creating your own reality or how the
mantras function.
All they say is: Come here, and I will give you a mantra,
and it will change you. So the mantras have this ability because
they work at a different level, not at the mind level.
If you try to change your consciousness at the mind level,
the change will be very superficial because it cannot dispel the
spell you are under. By clinging onto the mantra, you can go
into a deeper level and rearrange the atoms of your own
consciousnessthe sound atoms of your own consciousness.
The mantras have also been part of the Biblical tradition as
well. The Bible says that, In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God. God created everything through his
Word. The Word of God is the mantra.
Jesus speaks about the power of mantras on two occasions.
At one time when asked to teach a prayer he teaches the prayer
that even today is used in some churches. In the prayer Jesus
says, Father, hallowed be thy name. What is this name God?
Gods name is everything. It represents pure energy.
If you ask for anything in Gods name, it will happen
through the miraculous power of God. At the end, Jesus told his
followers to ask everything in his name. What is there in Jesus
name? Jesus name is a mantra.
Similarly, Yahweh, the name of the Jewish God, is also a
mantra. Yahweh is formed of the sounds for space (akash) and
air (vayu) energy, which according to the Hindu tradition
belong to the pure energy complex of the Divine. The sounds
ya and va representing space and air are part of the Nama Sivaya
mantra.
Similarly, Allah is a mantra as well. The Allah sound encom-
44
45
Mind is Composed of Sounds

passes all things. The Quran has the 99 names of Allahall of
them are mantras.
Siddhi Consciousness
When one is able to live the Siddhi consciousness

completely just as God does, then creation takes place
instantaneously. As soon as a thought is produced within the
Siddhi consciousness it gets materialized. There is no time lag.
No action is needed to make the thought into a physical reality.
This is Siddhi. It is a great achievement. And this is the ideal
of the Siddhas, that everyone should be able to live the Siddhi
consciousness. The problem is we have manifested a mind, and
the mind is the barrier.
The mind hides the vision of the Siddhi consciousness.
Somehow we have to find a way to get beyond the mind and go
to this Siddhi consciousness.
I am giving you many tools in this book to help you do this,
because now is the time for the spiritual seekers to get a break!
Use them wisely to benefit yourself and others. I am serving a
great brunch of knowledge and like a brunch, you will fill up on
some things and not on others. Each of you will pick the parts
that are right for you to work with now. I trust your intuition
about this, plus I will help you with this inwardly. Many of you
will experience this help in the dream plane, some consciously,
some unconsciously. This is a multi-level teaching that I am
opening up. I invite you to come back to this book again and
again, as you cannot possibly absorb it all in one reading!
Some basic preparation advice: Whenever possible, meditate
or do other spiritual practice in a clean spot, and take a shower
or at least wash your face and hands, and wear clean clothes.
Purity is essential for accessing light. If you do not have a meditation spot already set up in your home, you may find it very
helpful to do this. Pick a spot that is quiet and where you will
not be interrupted. I have known even busy mothers negotiate
time for meditation with their families, and their children just
know at certain times Mom is doing her thing and is not to
be bothered. Each of you can find the discipline to mediate
daily.
Flowers, candles, incense can greatly help focus the mind for
meditation and spiritual practice. Spiritual statues or pictures of
some deity or enlightened teacher who inspires you can be good
to put in your meditation spot.
To end your meditation or spiritual practice, bringing your
hands together and bowing is an ancient way to seal the meditation and to offer gratitude to the Divine. This gesture of bowing
brings in humility and prevents you from becoming proud of
your practice.
Never forget these basics of purity, humility, and
gratitude.I am so happy that this book is in your hands at
last!

Physical Appearance
and Personality
Section II
Personal Transformation Program
MANTRA: SATYAM SIVAM SUNDARAM

(PRONOUNCED: SAHT-YAHM SHE-VAM SUN-DA-RUM)
n this chapter, we are just going to look at ourselves.

Very, very few people actually look at themselves.
Sure, they look at others always, but seldom themselves. This is because the physical eyes are turned
only towards others; not towards oneself! If you want to see
yourself, you have to go in front of the mirror and create the
other. And only through that mirror can you see yourself.
Even in the mirror you are seeing only a reflection of yourself,
not your real self.
So, self-examination is not naturally available to us. We have
to do it through conscious awareness. Very few people have even
the practice of looking at themselves in the mirror. It is an
important practice that everyone should do. You should go and
look in the mirror and see how you look. Then you will figure
out the imperfections you have created.
Awareness is the first step. Once you have become aware of
imperfections then you can correct yourself. This happens at
two levels: at the body level, and at the mind level. You have to
look at your own physical form first, and you will begin to take
note of the imperfections that you have created.
You look exactly the way you want to look. Now you may
not like to hear that, but at the time you created it, it was your
48

intention to look how you look now. How can you correct this?
You can correct this through awareness. Put your attention on
how these imperfections have affected various parts of your
body. Notice how you have created diseases and other abnormal
conditions. The moment you begin to reflect on it, then you
create a change already within you. Once you have set these
things in motion, eventually, over a period of time, you will
finda means of rectifying them.
Put Your Attention on What You Want
Once a woman came to me. She had no resources to correct

some imperfections on her nose. She told me that she knew
exactly what could be done; all that was needed was plastic
surgery on the nose but it was very expensive. I told her to just
put the desire out, and then it will manifest. Dont even ask
where the money is going to come from because that will stop
manifesting the money that is needed to do this surgery. What
you should be concerned about is: Yes, I do have this imperfection and I need to correct it. You just close your eyes and put
your attention on what you need to do. Then you will find
miracles happening.
Now, there are many negative forces that will try to keep you
from doing this. You will fall a victim to unconsciousness. Only
very few people remain conscious. Many, many people are
unconscious. Because they are unconscious, they are not able to
bring about any significant changes in their lives.
Sometimes we deny certain parts of ourselves. The denial
leads to negligence. We keep it under the rug and we dont want
to talk about it. This leads to neglect. We become irritated when
someone talks about it. People get angry because they dont
want to have to look at certain parts of themselves.
You have to admit you are wrong. Ask yourself, What can I
do to get myself straight here? There should be a willingness to
look at yourself and change what needs to be changed. You
50

should desire for the best in every area of your life. For example,
if you want a skin cream, go for the best quality.
The purpose of this book is to encourage you to become
conscious in every area of your life. The remedial sounds that I
will teach you are the crux of the teaching.
Beauty is Truth
Beauty, inner and outer, is the best asset you have. Beauty is
Truth, Truth Beauty, John Keats wrote in his poem, Ode on a
Grecian Urn. He was a British poet who was influenced by
Plato. The poem continues, that is all/ye know on earth, and
all ye need to know.
If you think about something all the time, then you will be
able to bring that thing into your life. This is the truth. In order
to think about something consistently for a long period of time
doesnt require any money; it only requires motivation. But as I
said, the motivation will be blocked by your karma. Karma will
not allow any change to happen easily. To overcome Karma, you
only need the commitment that no matter what, you are going
to focus attention on the imperfect parts of your body. It will be
painful in the beginning because nobody wants to look at their
own imperfections, but then you cannot keep things hidden
forever.
In this chapter, you are going to look at your own physical
appearance and personality.
First, you look at the imperfections; and then on a mental
level, make the changes you want and put these ideas out to the
universe.
The universe will then help you to manifest your desires.
This is for manifestations on the level of the body.
Beauty and Spirituality
You might ask what does beauty have to do with spirituality?

Your body and personality set the tone for every area of your
life. A pleasing personality and appearance will open doors for
51
you in areas of relationship, career, and your own well-being.

They influence the impact you have in the world.
Unfortunately, many times, women in particular do not
have the right attitude about their appearance because of various
conditionings. They say that they are not very attractive deep
down, and once they think that they are not attractive, then
they are not going to attract. So it is important for every
woman to think and feel, I am attractive, because once you
think thatyou are attractive then you can attract.
I can think of two women at least who became successful
national figures who believed they were attractive even though
they did not look like magazine models. One is Oprah
Winfrey. I think shes great. However, when Oprah Winfrey
started out and became successful she was not attractive at all.
She weighedas much as Mike Tyson, yet the weight was not a
problem; because though she was overweight, she was still
very popular and she received numerous awards when she was
very heavy.
Later on, of course, she took control of her weight through
discipline and exercise and so forth. But my point is, irrespective of her weight, she was successful because she thought that
she was attractive. To think that you are attractive is the ultimate thing. Once you think that way about yourself deep down,
your external appearancewhatever it isis not important, for
then you are going to attract no matter what.
The other woman I have in mind is Rosie ODonnell. She
also has a weight problem, but she, too, is the kind of person
who thinks that she is very attractive. That is why she was able
to attract a huge national following. People love her. So, it is a
matter of convincing yourself that you are attractive.
Creating an Attractive Personality is the Secret
If you want to attract people, this is very, very important.

Conversely, I must also acknowledge that there are a number of
women whom I have met who work in restaurants who are very
52
slim and very, very beautiful, but act as though they have a low
self-esteem. So, it is important for a person to think and feel
that they are attractive regardless of what they do or how much
money they make. It is not just in thinking but rather feeling it
in their bones that is important.
Now, what about your personality? Your personality is an intrinsic
quality with which you are born. Physically, one may be attractive/
unattractive/average/tall/short/medium. Also, behaviorally, one may
be well-mannered/short-tempered/cold/warm/mean/generous.
Your life may go smoothly or may be full of problems.
Unpleasant expressions and experiences of your personality are
due to bad karmic impressions in the body/mind and spirit.
Again, take note of what you want to change.
Personality is not just expressed through a physical appearance or manners, but also through your own psychological
concept of who you are. The truth is, you are God. But then
you have, through an ego identity, created a lot of restrictions.
You have allowed yourself to be defined by your education, your
profession or what you currently do for a living or even whether
or not you have a job. This is not really your personality. Your
vocation is not really what you are. You are beyond all that you
do. You are God. The moment you understand that you are
God, you have will incredible self-esteem and changes will
follow automatically.
VISUALIZING MEDITATION
Now I am going to guide you through a personality change

meditation. [This format should be referred to for visualizations
and preparations for meditation.]
Sit quietly. Picture a beam of white light entering into your
right eye, completely flooding through every cell with an energizing, healing light. Let the light go all the way in, all the way
back into the optic nerve. Receive this light completely.
Next, picture a beam of white light entering into your left
53
eye, completely flooding through every cell with an energizing,

healing light. Let the light go all the way in, all the way back
into the optic nerve. Receive this light completely.
Now move to your right ear. Receive a beam of white light
into your right ear, cleansing each cell, going all the way into
the inner eardrum. Receive this light completely.
Receive a beam of white light into your left ear, cleansing
each cell, going all the way into the inner eardrum. Receive this
light completely.
Now move to your right nostril. Receive a beam of white
light into your right nostril, energizing and refreshing each cell,
going all the way into the right nasal passageway. Receive this
light completely.
Go to the left nostril. Receive a beam of white light into
your left nostril, energizing and refreshing each cell, going all
the way into the left nasal passageway. Receive this light
completely.
Next, go to the mouth. Receive a beam of white light into
your mouth, going into each cell of your mouth. Receive it first
into the tip of the tongue, then the middle of the tongue, finally
the back of the tongue and tonsil area. Receive this light
completely.
In addition to receiving the white light, the most important

tool in this area is a mantra that will help change your personality.
The mantra is Sundaram.
Sundaram is a concept beyond description. It is going to create joy. It is going to create a beautiful form, both on the level of
the mind and the level of the body. You just keep on chanting
this sound, so that the sound goes deep into your consciousness.
Once it is deeply established within your own awareness, you
will find your mind becomes beautiful, your body becomes
beautiful, and you are just a joyous being. The mantra Sundaram
is created out of a great sound. It is the sound of pure energy,
which resonates in your heart.
Now go to your own body. Focus attention, particularly on
the imperfections that you have created. Start from the head
and work to the toes. Make note of them one by one. Now
chant this sound. Receive the sound waves. These sound waves
will go and impact every cell in your body: Satyam Sivam
Sundaram.
Relax. Keep this sound, Satyam Sivam Sundaram, in your
consciousness. Chant the mantra, Satyam Sivam Sundaram into
each part for a few seconds:
Right Eye
Left Eye
Right Ear
Left Ear
Right Nostril
Left Nostril
Tip of the Tongue
Middle of the Tongue
Back of the Tongue/Tonsils
Go back into each part again and this time say the sound
silently, on the inner level, bringing the sound waves into a
subtler level of your cells. Visualize the changes you want to
manifest. Be very positive in your visualization. As you do this
meditation regularly, you will find miracles happening.
The sound waves of the mantras travel to the inner space
where energy and matter collapse into one unit. You must be
gung-ho with the chants. Make a serious commitment to work
with them. Discipline yourself to some form of daily practice.
Close your session with the chant Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti,
bring your hands together and bow with gratitude. (Om
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti is an ancient chant for peace.)
During the day, remember your desired manifestation and
54
55
MANTRA: SATYAM SIVAM SUNDARAM

(PRONOUNCED: SAHT-YAHM SHE-VAM SUN-DA-RUM)

repeat the sounds.
Dealing with Negative Feelings
Sometimes when people are hateful, they gain weight. If you

love yourself, you cannot afford to hate someone else.
This is a tool for dealing with hateful feelings. Write three
times:
I no longer blame [put in name of person you have
harbored hatred toward].
When the mind is negative, you can become lethargic and
cynical. Tell yourself:
I dont want to be cynical and lethargic.
Time is money.
Waiting is a waste of time.
I want it right now.
Your mind is the child of the soul. Use the sounds to change the
soul.
About Pronunciation of the Mantras
Some people may wonder, How exactly are the mantras in

this book pronounced? For people who are not able to hear me
or another teacher say the mantras in person, CDs and videos
have been created which are available at
www.vaaaksounds.com. It is very important to use the correct
pronunciation of the mantras. And yet, while the mantras have
their own power, their deepest power comes from being
energized by an enlightenedteacher. I emphasize that I have put
a powerful blessing through all the mantras and tools in this
book, which will last hundreds of years. I will amplify your
positive efforts.
The Purpose of Meditation
Please use the mantras and tools with focus and be alert. I
want to dispel the idea that meditation is just for relaxing: The
purpose of meditation is not just for relaxation.

CHAPTER 2: FINANCES
the key word. In order to become more aware, you have to end
your old ways of being aware. Right now, the problem is that we
give too much importance to our thought processes. We do not
know anything other than what our thoughts inform us about.
So most of our understanding comes from these thoughts. And
where do the thoughts come from? Most of the thoughts come
from our own personal ego.
Most of the time our thoughts are related to the future; they
are our survival anxiety. Whats going to happen? This is the
nature of thought most of the time. If you give credence to
these thoughts, they will become more and more powerful, and
if you dont, they will lose their power. Thought comes mostly
out of fear. Somehow, we want to protect ourselves and it sets
into motion the thought mechanism. It is not wrong to follow
that process. What is wrong is being closed to another way of
living living in an effortless way.
That is the purpose of meditation. The meditation techniques were developed exclusively for making life easier. How
can we work with energy and get things done? It is very difficult
to work with matter. Matter has very little flexibility, whereas
energy is infinitely flexible. Matter follows very, very strict
rules or laws of nature. As I have said before, an ice cube is
solid matter, but in other forms it becomes steam, snow, and
water. These are all various stages of the same matter, but
when itbecomes ice it loses its flexibility. So we have to get back
to the level of energy. On that level, life is infinitely flexible,
infinitelyeasy.
Thinking Without Thoughts
So we have to make a shift from material existence to

spiritual existence. The laws of the spirit contain a lot more
wisdom; there is consciousness. Consciousness is pervasive; it
exists within even the smallest particle of matter. Matter has the
intelligence of remaining fixed in place; it understands how to
57

remain immobile. Energy, on the other hand, exists in a state of
consciousness where it can move anywhere. So change must
occur within consciousness.
Not only does your brain think, but your genes also think.
The genes know what pattern they will become; all this is stored
within the gene. How is it stored? Consciousness! So, we have
not understood consciousness. If we are to understand
consciousness, one must go deep within oneself and understand
non-thought realities, or in Sanskrit, avikalpa, which means
thinking without thoughts.
This is why the mantra Satyam Sivam Sundaram and the
other sounds must be received all the way into your cells and
even the spaces between the cells! You are influencing right
down to a molecular level when you bring the sound waves into
your cells.
If one can think without thoughts, then one is a good deal
closer to acquiring higher consciousness. Thought always comes
from the ego, from fear, and also ones longings to get certain
things. So, when one goes deep in meditation, one discards
these thought patterns. There comes a stage when you are
completely quiet, when not even a thought comes into your
mind, but there is pure understanding.
So the goal of these tools is a stage of complete stillness
where there is no activity at all. When you have acquired that
kind of state, you will find that thoughts are a burden to you.
You will see the thoughts as obstacles to your consciousness.
The mechanism is very simple. Consciousness is pure, but your
ego attaches its thoughts to your consciousness, and these
thoughts color your consciousness. If you do not give any
credence to these thoughts, they will wither away. Millions of
thoughts come into ones mind. We do not need all of them;
they are a waste of time. If you remain quiet and only have a
few thoughts that are very productive and rewarding, then you
have fulfilled the purpose of life.
58
Yes, one needs thoughts to live in this world. However, what

one does not need is unintelligent thoughts, thoughts that come

CHAPTER 2: FINANCES
because of ignorance. This type of thought usually comes when

you are disturbed. In this condition one has to be very, very careful to remain quiet. The quieter one can remain, the easier it is
for one to receive help from ones higher self. The ego-self cannot accomplish much because it speaks from a level of ignorance.
As you begin to meditate, you cannot go wrong because you
are supported by this avikulpa, the non-thought reality. All that
you need to do is just go deep. This inner stillness gives you the
wisdom, and you cannot go wrong. With this other, very
powerful form of intelligence to support your actions, the
actions that you do will become spontaneously right. There are
so many variables involved in a single action that you cannot
begin to control these variables.
Story of the King and the Saint
There is a famous Sufi story. There was a Sufi saint who had
a white horse, and the king wanted this white horse. He offered
the Sufi any price he might name for the horse. The Sufi
rejected the kings offer. The neighbors considered the saint very
stupid, but the saint told them not to judge. A few days later,
the horse was missing, and again, the neighbors called the saint
stupid, and again the saint told them not to judge. Within a few
days, the horse returned, accompanied by several wild horses.
Now, the neighbors came and told the saint that it had been
good the horse had been lost, and again the saint told them not
to judge. The saints only son began training the horses, and
while training the horses, he became badly injured and lost a
leg. Now, the neighbors said how terrible this accident was, and
again the saint told them not to judge. After some time had
passed, there was a war, and all the men that were able to fight
had to leave their homes to fight the war. The war was going
badly, and none of the men that had left were returning home.
59

Now the neighbors came to the saint and said maybe it was
good that the saints son had lost his leg because now he
wouldnt die in the war, and again the saint told them not to
judge. And so, life goes on in this manner.

practice one of the mantras or use one of the tools, you will be
bringing in new positive consciousness at an accelerated rate. I
give you my promise. Have faith!
Reality is Not Frozen
The mistake we make is that we try to freeze reality at any

given moment. Life is not like that. Reality is volatile, and
changes from moment to moment. Yet, we want to have something to hold onto, particularly something miserable. The mind
is basically miserable, as it always wants to identify with misery.
The Sanskrit word dukka means misery.
The mind likes least to act upon a desire immediately. There
was a woman who came and told me that she wanted to buy a
house in two years, and I asked her, Why not buy it now? She
told me it would take her two years to save for the down
payment. So, she had frozen her reality. Once she believed it
would take two years to buy the house, that attitude became
real.
What prevents us from thinking differently about such
things is our preconceptions about time and logic, but more
particularly, our own negative attitude, right down to predicting
our retirement and the flowers we will have at our funeral. That
is an extreme example of how we can freeze our reality.
But it points to the problem. In a life that is structured and
guaranteed, there is no adventure. We should live our life in
accordance with the infinite possibilities that the particles that
make up our being have afforded us. So, we must raise the mind
to that level of awareness. This is possible through the
practiceof meditation.
I teach purposeful meditation. Set productive goals for
yourself as you work with the sounds and the tools.
The sounds and tools in this book will help you change
consciousness. Each time you read in this book, you will
understand things on another level. Each time you sincerely

above. Not that I disbelieve them, but they are commonplace

knowledge and many people, if not everyone, know about
them. I want to give you some uncommon and spiritual
methods for addressing your money karma.
Why do you hurt for money?
MANTRA: BRZEE
(PRONOUNCED: BREE-ZEE)
ost people in the world have bad money

karma which means they are hurting for
money. This problem is true even in the
United States, which is the richest country
in the world. Most people experience one or more of the
following:
1. Living from paycheck to paycheck.
2. No paycheck at all.
3. Living with your parents.
4. Driving a junky car.
5. Taking a bus to work because you dont have a car.
6. Job is constantly ending and you are continually looking
for another.
7. Surviving on cash advances from credit cards.
8. Borrowing money from others.
If you go to a financial counselor, he or she would say one or

more of the following:
1. You have no job skills that are marketable.
2. Go back to school and acquire some education.
3. Get two full time jobs to supplement your income.
4. Get more hours wherever they are available.
I am not going to emphasize any of the aspects mentioned
2
There are many reasons why you dont have money. Let me
begin from the beginning of your life. Your mother has just
delivered you. But, unfortunately, you were not born with a
silver spoon in your mouth. Nevertheless, ones birth circumstances with money constraints have serious consequences.
As a child growing into adulthood, you are not going to
have an easy life unless your parents do something to improve
their finances. But as the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad indicates,
most of our dads (including mine) had no clue as to how to
make money. In a negative parental environment such as this
one, you can do very little to get up and running. Your
consciousness is clouded and you have no energy. You cant go
to a good school because you cant afford the tuition. Why is
this situation happening to you and not to Prince William or
the sons and daughters of a millionaire? There is only one
answer to your question: YOU ARE BORN WITH A BAD
MONEY KARMA.
How to Change Bad Money Karma
You may ask, How do I change my money karma? I have

come to this earth-plane primarily to help people change their
karma. Please understand somethingsuffering does not
remove or dissolve bad financial karma. You need a technique to
remove bad financial karma, a Divine technique. Within the
soul are vibrations which support wealth or poverty.
I am doing a lot of meditation to help put money into the
hands of spiritual people, people who have hearts. Right now, it
is in the wrong hands. In this chapter, I am going to give you
techniques to dissolve bad financial karma.
63

In order for you to have maximum results, you should
follow my advice meticulously. Get rid of your own philosophy
about money. It has not helped you. Remember, even without
your knowledge, your philosophy will sneak in. Get rid of your
philosophy. Period.
MANTRA: THIRu NEELA KANTAM
[PRONOuNCED: TEE-Ru NEE-LA KAN-TuM]
Start my two-fold program to improve your bad money

karma, outlined below: First, this technique will help you get
rid of your past life karma that is disallowing you to make
money. When you wake up in the morning, do the karmabusting, Thiru Neela Kantam meditation at least for three
minutes while still in bed. Chant the mantra, Thiru Neela
Kantam in the throat visualizing a blue light. Both the mantra
and the light should stay in the throat. Make a prayer to me to
empower the mantra for you to remove your bad money karma.
Flower Ritual
Later on when you shower, do the mantra again as outlined.

After the shower, it is important that you take a few flower
petals (or even a whole flower) and roll them on your head
(around the brain area and forehead), throat, neck, shoulders
and chest (heart area). As you do this, pass your negative financial karma to the flower petals. Put the mantra, Thiru Neela
Kantam into each area. Let the negative thoughts about money
in the head pass into the flower. Let the negative financial
karma stored in the throat pass into the flower. Let the financial
burdens carried in the right shoulder and left shoulder pass into
the flower. Literally let the burden lift off your shoulders. Let
any heartache and sorrow about money and finances in your
heart pass into the flower.
Do not smell the flower petals. Hold them in your right
hand as you do the ritual. Imagine that the flower petals have
absorbed all your past-life karma and present-life karma and

CHAPTER 2: FINANCES
then crush them, saying the mantra, Thiru Neela Kantam. Then
throw these scapegoat flower petals away and wash your hands.
Flowers come from a very pure dimension. They carry space
energy, the energy of akash (space). Your karmic records are said
to be stored in the Akashic Records, the realm of space energy.
And flowers have the occult (hidden) power to help you access
Akashic Records. This spiritual technology is like directly
updating a database! I promise you, if you work with the flower
petals and the mantra, you will find tremendous benefit from
this secret ritual. Those of you who have my Thiru Neela
Kantam CD should listen to it everyday, even if it is just playing
in the background while you are doing the dishes or driving
your car to work.
The flower ritual comes from Divine law, not human law.
Divine law deals with spirit. It is difficult to change deep-seated
karma through behavioral techniques. This technique is part of
Divine Knowledge, and many, many people in the world will
now benefit from it. Repeat this flower ritual every day. Tell
yourself firmly, I do not want to go through this karmic life. I
must dissolve it and create some other karma, something more
fruitful. If you do this flower ritual every day, your human ego
and doubt will get out of your way. You will begin to desire in a
more authentic way. What supports a prosperous mind are
desires that are authentic, genuine and healthy. Without
desires,a prosperous mind falls apart. So I repeat this truth to you,
what supports prosperity is desire. So the fire of alert
consciousness and desire must be burning all the time. You must
cultivate that consciousness. When the mind begins to blahblah, say Shut up! and put something interesting in the mind
instead. If moreand more people will live this teaching, we can
create a societyof conscious individuals.
Planets and Money Karma
Second, understand that your money karma is carried by

65
64

planets in your chart. I recommend that you find out which
planets are directly involved in creating financial hardships for
you and do some remedies to change those bad influences. You
may ask, If we are doing Thiru Neela Kantam, why bother with
planets? The answer to this question is: Thiru Neela Kantam is
like your general physician. He knows everything about your
body, but he needs to send you to an eye doctor or an orthopedic doctor as the need arises.
Story of Visvamitra and the Sage Vasistha
When I was in India, I received a very powerful sound

which was not known to the world before. This mantra was
given to me by Visvamitra as a gift to be used in this age.
Visvamitra was a king who became a great enlightened saint. I
will tell you a story about him. Visvamitra was originally a great
king who lived in India in a different time period. He was born
to a warrior class family of kings, and he distinguished
himself in all kinds of martial arts and methods of warfare. The
country passed through a very severe economic depression,
and there was not enough food for the people. Visvamitra was
distressedby this suffering, and he wanted to find out means for
rectifying it. One day, while hunting he encountered
Kamadhenu, the magical, wish-fulfilling cow. This cow was
a gift that the enlightened Sage Vasistha received from Lord
Siva after yearsand years of penance and meditation.
Visvamitra thought that the cow would be useful to him to
feed his people who were suffering from the drought.
Visvamitra wanted the sage to sell the cow to him. He explained
to Vasistha that he would put the cow to good use and that
there was no better financial instrument than Kamadhenu.
Vasistha agreed that the cow had tremendous power, but said
that he wouldnt be able to part with the cow, because it was a
Divine gift. Vasistha made it clear that the magical cow was not
something one could buy and sell like other commodities.
66

CHAPTER 2: FINANCES
Visvamitra, being the king of the land, would not take no

for an answer. He now demanded the cow from Vasistha,
invoking his royal power as a king. Vasistha again politely
declined. Visvamitra decided to take the cow by force, and he
ordered his army to capture the wish-fulfilling cow. However,
Kamadhenu resisted the arrest and kicked the solders with all of
her four legs! She magically flew into the air and descended
upon the army, killing several soldiers. No one could capture
Kamadhenu.
In the meantime, the king engaged Vasistha in combat. He
shot deadly arrows at Vasistha. But Lord Siva intervened and
turned the arrows into flower garlands that fell harmlessly at the
feet of Vasistha. Now, Visvamitra did not know what to do. For
a moment he was confused and angry. But suddenly, it began to
dawn on him that all his martial arts training and kingly powers
were useless in comparison to Vasisthas miraculous power
attained through spiritual means.
The humbled Visvamitra was resolved. He renounced his
temporal power as king and decided to whole-heartedly pursue
spiritual austerities. After many years of disciplining his mind
Visvamitra also attained miraculous powers. The story of
Visvamitras encounter with Vasistha illustrates the idea that
mind power is better than muscle power.
The mantra that Visvamitra gave to me is BRZEE. It took

1500 years of meditation for Visvamitra to come up with this
mantra for wealth.
BRZEE MEDITATION
In this meditation, we will place this sound in various parts

of the body. First chant Brzee out loud into the sensory organs
and then, mentally repeat at the same spots, continually
allowing the mantra to become more and more subtle.
Lets begin. Sit comfortably. Chant the sound Brzee into the
sensory organs. Stay for one minute in each of these areas. Begin
67

by chanting aloud, then mentally, until it is a feeling.
First into the right eye: BRZEE, BRZEE... BRZEE.
left eye
right ear
left ear
right nostril
left nostril
tip of the tongue
middle of the tongue
back of the tongue, tonsils and throat
third eye (pituitary)
Now, write this mantra nine times. And when you write it,
you have to write it in a certain way. B-R-Z-E-E. On top of the
letter BR, draw a crescent moon. And then on top of the crescent moon, put two birds, flying.
This sound Brzee consolidates material energy. And when
you begin to vibrate with that energy, you will attract matter. It
is a spiritual technology.
Story of the King and the Robbers
The Divine is watching over us all the time. Often we are

unable to appreciate it. In India there is a story which illustrates
the lack of perception and appreciation for Divine guidance. A
king was cutting a mango fruit. The knife slipped, and he cut
one of his fingers. The kings minister who was nearby saw the
king bleeding and said, Thats good. The king got mad. I cut
my finger, and you say, thats good! Thats not right! Im
throwing you into the prison. So, the king had the minister
seized and put into the prison.
That evening the king went on a hunt, and he became separated from his hunting party. He lost his way in the forest and
fell into the hands of some evil bandits. The fiends took him
toa temple where human sacrifices were done. They began
preparing the king. But then there was the rule that if the sacri68

CHAPTER 2: FINANCES
ficial prey had any deformity, that prey was not eligible for sacrifice.
So the robbers examined the king, and then they found his
finger was cut. They let the king go. The king came back home
and released the minister from prison. The story expresses the
idea that good things happen to us, and yet, we do not know it.
VISUALIZING BRZEE MEDITATION
Now I am going to take you on a guided meditation with

Brzee. [As with all the meditations and visualizations in this book, it
is a good idea to review the meditation first before participating.]
Close your eyes.
Focus attention on your right eye.
Visualize a beam of white light entering your right eye,
then entering your left eye.
Visualize another beam of white light entering the right
eardrum, then entering the left eardrum.
Visualize another beam of white light entering the right
nostril, then entering the left nostril.
Visualize another beam of white light entering the mouth.
Now come back to the right eye again. And receive this
sound in the right eye: Om Brzee Swaha.
Allow the sound Brzee to go deeper and deeper into your
right eye. Brzee... Brzee... Brzee...
Go to the left eye. Om Brzee Swaha.
Receive the sound Brzee in your left eye.
Brzee... Brzee... Brzee...
Let the sound go into every cell of the left eye.
Go to the right eardrum. Om Brzee Swaha.
Let the sound go into the right eardrum.
Go to the left eardrum. Om Brzee Swaha...Brzee...
Brzee... Brzee...
69
Life Changing Mantras: Tools from the Other Side

Now the two eyes and the two ears are filled with the
sound Brzee.
Om Brzee Swaha. Brzee... Brzee... Brzee... Brzee...
Now go to the right nostril.
Om Brzee Swaha. Feel the sound inside the right nostril.
Go to the left nostril. Om Brzee Swaha.
Receive the sound in the left nostril.
Now your two eyes, ears and the nostrils are all filled with
the sound Brzee...
Now go to the tip of the tongue and receive the sound
there. Om Brzee Swaha... Brzee...
Now move to the middle of the tongue.
Om Brzee Swaha... Brzee...
Now move to your tonsils and the throat.
Om Brzee Swaha... Brzee...
From the tonsils look up into the two brains.
Om Brzee Swaha...Brzee...
Let your two brains vibrate with the sound.
Om Brzee Swaha...Brzee...
Now come back to your right eye. Internalize the sound
Brzee in the right eye very subtly. Go to the left eye, internalize
the sound very subtly. Put Brzee very subtly into all the organs
again. The right eardrum. The left eardrum. Inside the right
nostril. The left nostril. The tip of the tongue. The middle of
the tongue. The tonsils and the throat. Look up into the brain
and internalize the sound:
Om... Om Brzee... Om Brzee... Om Brzee... Om...
Keep your eyes closed. Relax. Slowly, slowly come back to
yourself.
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti. Put your hands together and bow
70

CHAPTER 3: RISK-TAKING
with gratitude.
Money and Energy
Money and energy are synonyms. When there is no money,

there is no energy. Most people know this concept intuitively.
Lethargy, cynicism and unconscious thinking are indications of
low energy.
Energy and lethargy are represented by two archetypal
figures, Lakshmi and Alakshmi, in Indian mythology. Lakshmis
energy is royal 1and has a strong sense of direction and purpose.
Alakshmis energy is dim and leads you to denial and sloppy
behavior. When infused with Alakshmis energy, you become
unconscious, unfocused and you lack goals and direction.
We come to the earth-plane to learn about money, power
and energy. Those who have the money get to rule the world.
Those who dont have money end up working for those who
have it. Right now, only people with money can really run for
political office. Even Jesus was betrayed for a few pieces of silver.
Money gives you independence. When you have money, you no
longer need to do jobs that you dont like. When you have
money you can boldly say, No to your boss and speak the
truth. My finding is that when people have no money, they do
not eat or live well. When you have no money, you eat hot dogs
and generic bread and sleep in smelly motels.
Becoming Money-Minded
The energy of poverty is anti-life. In order to make money,

you have to be money-minded. It is unfortunate that many
cultures have put God on one side and money on the other.
Even in the affluent United States, there are far too many
people living a life from paycheck to paycheck, and credit card
debts continue to rise each year. This split between God and
money is a serious theological and metaphysical mistake which
has led to dismal experiences.
Without getting too much into philosophy, Im going to
71

focus on how you can best improve your finances: Just think
about your finances all the time. All the time think about
money. Just have a figure in your mind, some numbers. Say to
yourself, This is the amount that I want to make. Keep on
thinking about it. This is very, very important. The reason why
we dont have money is because we forget to remain moneyconscious. We are unconscious. It is a tragedy that human
beings seem incapable of remembering just one thought. If you
can hold onto a thought, whatever the nature of the thought,
you are going to realize that thought.
Finance involves goals and visions. Most people dont have
visions; they just get by. Visions have to be supported by practical data. Ask yourself some tough questions. Am I too
idealistic? Am I unconscious? The moment you put your
attention on looking at finances, ideas will come. Now of
course, we cannot earn money through activities like stealing or
selling drugs. We want to earn money through noble means. We
must ask the Divine to help us and to inspire us with fruitful
ideas.
Techniques of Attraction
Im going to teach you two important techniques of attraction. It is very important that your eyes should be focused on
the things you want to manifest. The eyes are very important
organs in the thinking process. There is a saying in English,
Out of sight, out of mind. So in order to have something in
mind, you have to have it in sight.
So do this: write on a little piece of paper whatever you want
to manifest, and it should be very, very legible and put it up it
all over the house. Go to the workplace, and then put it on your
desk. You happen to see the figure, the numbers that you want
to manifest. It will have tremendous impact on your consciousness. Thats one thing.
72
Picture Abundance

Another thing that you must want to do is put up pictures

representing financial abundance. Put up a picture of a money
tree. The money tree goes back to the archetypal imagination of
the human race. There ARE money trees in heaven. They are
not just money trees, but these are trees which are capable of
manifesting the things you want. These are called wishingfulfilling trees. In Sanskrit there is a name for such a tree. It is
called, Kalpa Uriksha, the trees which manifest your desires. So,
its important to visualize because the money tree belongs to the
unconscious and the archetypal imagination.
Emotional Investment
Embrace the desired wealth with all positive emotions. If

you do not have such strong emotions, you cannot manifest.
Logic will not help you manifest; its only the emotions of the
heart that will help you with the manifestation. The head is
judgmental, whereas the heart doesnt judge.
Fantasize and Think Positive
Have a wealth fantasy. Feel as though you are already living

this manifestation, as if you have already manifested all of these
things. Feel happy and satisfied with your manifestation.
Go on doing the practice, using the mantra with visualization. Do not be discouraged if the mind gives negative signals.
The mind may be saying, Well, it has never worked. And it is
not going to work. Whenever the mind gives you a negative
signal like that, you just say, Shut up to the mind.
Some people ask me, Is it okay to manifest what I want?
Arent I supposed to surrender to Gods will? I tell you, God
wants for you what you want for yourself. His will for you is
unending joy. God is not a kill-joy! Now, Im going to lead you
through a small meditative process, and first it is just a contemplation, and then you will add some chanting which will help
you to manifest during this session.
73

Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Now think about your
own financial situation. Think about the past. Have you ever
thought about how much money you want to make? Just ask
yourself. The answer will come. Now ask this question. Do you
have a game plan to manifest that money? What are your
responses from your own mind for this question? If you dont
have a game plan, can you think of one? Just think of one that
can give you the amount of wealth that you desire.
Manifesting Time
Now another factor is time. How much time is needed to

manifest this amount of money? If you think it is going to be
too much time, think of another avenue that involves a shorter
time to get to the goal. These are questions which you have
never asked. If you had asked, probably they were superficial.
You never sat down and asked yourself these questions with
closed eyes.
VISUALIZATION OF LAKSHMI
Im going to give you another dimension, a spiritual dimension, to help you manifest wealth. Now stop thinking about the
questions and just be with me. And Im going to ask you to
imagine certain symbols. Visualize the ocean. But this is not an
ocean full of water, but an ocean full of milk. Its a milky
ocean. It is endless, with waves of milk dashing against the
shore. It is so brilliant. Its all white. And now you see a moon, a
full moon,coming out of this milky ocean and shooting into the
sky. Themoon moves up and up and up into the sky. And now
you find a white elephant, an enormous white elephant
coming out of this milky ocean. And it walks on the milky
ocean. And it comes toward you. And this white elephant goes
into your thirdeye and becomes part of you.
Now you see a magical white horse. This horse has wings.
The white horse is coming toward you. It also gets into your
third eye and then merges with you. And now, you see a money
74

tree coming out of this milky ocean. It has no money on the

leaves, but actual gold. The tree with gold comes toward you,
gets into the third eye and merges with you.
And now you see the goddess Lakshmi, who is the goddess
of wealth, coming out of this milky ocean. She is golden and
carries two golden pots. And the pots are filled with gold coins.
And she is coming toward you. She is emptying the pots of gold
coins into your head. And then she gets into you. She merges
with you. Chant the mantra:
OM SHREEM LAKSHMIYAI SWAHA
Visualize gold everywhere. Gold is the purest emotion of
creation. Gold is the emotion of God. Thats why in every
culture people have accepted gold as money.
OM SHREEM LAKSHMIYAI SWAHA
Just visualize abundant wealth, all that you want in your life.
Just visualize with great emotion and joy, as if you have already
manifested. Its not that youre going to manifest, visualize that
you have already manifested. Whatever you wanted to manifest
has already been manifested: the house, car, relationship, health,
whatever you just want to manifest, they have already been
manifested...
Embrace this manifestation. Live through this manifestation.
Chant: Om Brzee, Brzee, Brzee.
75
Chapter 3
Risk-Taking
M AN T RA: T R IS H UL A M
( PRON OUN CED: T RE -SHU-L AM)
f you dont take risks, there will be no dramatic

improvement in your life. Risk-taking ability comes
out of your adventurous nature. Risk-takers are
pioneers in their field and deal with the extraordinary.
In order to develop a risk-taking consciousness, you need to
develop a non-ordinary consciousness and courage. You change
your consciousness by changing your thought patterns.
You must embrace courage and risk-taking. What is important is outrageous thinking, thinking that is not of the normal
nature. It is important to learn this. Courage and risk-taking go
together. Dont follow the normal path, the path of mediocrity.
Seek the adventure of life. Take the express elevator. Think
about your goal. It is very important to realize that you are
different. Unless you conceive yourself to be different from
other human beings, there is no way that you will become
extraordinary.
It is not just having a fantasy of success. Those who make
it in life are not just those who have a fantasy, but those who
act on a fantasy. Action is very important on this earth-plane.
You have to act. You should not remain in a job you dont
like, orwait until you have enough money.
Risk-taking means living the moment. Every moment is
new. Time is of the past and of the future. Those who live in the
present live in the NOW, which is eternal freedom, a field of all
76

possibilities. So it is important for you to examine yourself.

Examine your path. How much risk have you taken? However,
you should not close your eyes and get involved in some risky
action. You must first find out, What is out there for me if I
take this risk? It is always important to find out what the
outcome is going to be. Depending on that answer, you take the
risk or stay away from it.
Now is Divine
The NOW is the Divine moment. The mind has nothing to

do with the NOW. The mind, in fact, is the anti-NOW. The
mind can never exist in the NOW. If NOW has to manifest,
then the mind has to demanifest. This is because the mind
creates timepast, present and future. All these fall into the
arena of the mind. But the NOW has nothing to do with the
mind. The NOW exists in a timeless, spaceless continuum. It is,
as I said earlier, the Divine moment which transcends time and
space. One has to invoke this NOW within ones self. It is a
challenging task because we are not used to living in the NOW.
We are used to living in logic. That is why we find it difficult to
live in the NOW. But to live in the NOW is the only way to
live the Divine. The Divine wants everything in the NOW. The
Divine is capable of manifesting everything in the NOW. It
doesnt posit a future. It doesnt have any sense of the past, any
sense of the present. It is a blissful experience wherein you are
able to manifest things instantaneously. And all of you know
within the deeper part of your soul that it is true. Because you
have lived it. Because this is your heritage.
But somehow, the whole of humanity has fallen into time,
and time is what makes things to appear in a linear sequence.
We are creating a drama. In that drama, we want things not in
the NOW, but in the future so that the drama can be
continued. This drama is the drama of ignorance. It is not the
drama of enlightenment. An enlightened person would not
77

want anything in the future, because to conceive of the future
would be an insult to his own consciousness. Everything has to
happen now and it is just a stupid game to prolong things. So
when you live in the NOW, everything is possible. You can live
like a god or goddess.
Now is Elusive
This is an important part of daily practice to accelerate

transformation. You should always evaluate whether you are
living in the NOW, because the NOW always eludes us. How
do you live in the NOW? You just disorient yourself from all
that is around you and then live in the NOW. Ill give you a
concrete example. Everyone creates a future, including myself.
What happens is that when you are going to act out the future,
you begin to question whether what youre doing it right or not.
But remember that everything that is around you is your
creation, and nobody creates it but you.
One morning I was reflecting on the NOW, and that is
how I came to do this material for you. Lets say that
tomorrow morning I have to go to Chicago, and I will be in
Chicago for three days. And then from there, I go to North
Carolina and spend five days there. Suddenly, I began to
question the necessity for me to go to Chicago. But I fully take
responsibility forhaving created it. I have to fulfill my obligations.
I have to be in Chicago, and then I have to be in North
Carolina. All theseengagements were created by me. NOW, at
this point, I begin to question if these events were required.
And the moment I began to question that, there is a possibility
that I will begin aprocess of self-examination, and then begin to
live in the NOW.
Choosing Now
NOW, at every point, you have a choice. The choice is to

live in the NOW and then make important decisions. Those of
you who have been close to me know that I cancel programs
very often. And you have NOW learned to understand that I do

it for my own reasons. It is good, because I act out from the

NOW. So tomorrow morning I may cancel my program in
Chicago and in North Carolina. And I have my own reasons for
keeping it or not keeping it. When you get into the NOW, you
move into a sphere that is beyond logic.
So far we know a way of life based on logic. We do not want
to enter into the sphere which is beyond logic. We are afraid
because it is so terrifying. We are fearful. But once you get into
the territory of the NOW, there are infinite possibilities.
Remember, I am not telling you to disregard your appointments
or your logical reality. You have to do that, because you have not
learned to fully live in the NOW. Until you make this transition, you will do what you have to do. And then for a time, you
will be in a state of awareness in which you will see the two
worlds, the world of logic and the world that is beyond logic.
And then there will be an integration of these two without
conflict.
If I have to cancel a program, there will be no conflict. I integrate
eventualities with ease, and the impact of it will also be with ease.
Logically it may not make sense to you, but when you live in the NOW
reality, you will understand that you have only to gain by moving past
logic.
So it is important every day that you have to live the NOW
for some time. That is why I created an email newsletter
program for you to get out of your mundane awareness. And for
one minute as you read the email, you live in a different dimension. The advantage of being in the NOW is that it can speed
up your progress. The mind has the tendency to delay things for
no reason. It doesnt want anything right NOW or even
tomorrow or even after a month. You want things to happen in
the distant future. The reason why the mind always feels
comfortable visualizing things happening in the dim future is
that the mind is conditioned by time.
79
78

Accelerate the Materialization of Your Fantasy
Everything on this earth-plane takes time. You sow a seed,

and the seed takes time to sprout. And then it takes time for the
sprout to grow into a tree. Many years elapse between the time
that you sow the seed and when it becomes the tree. Similarly,
the growth of a baby into an adult takes time. This is also true
with the money situation. Most people get paid either weekly or
every other week; others get paid on a monthly basis. Those
who get paid on a monthly basis must wait 30 days before they
get paid. Introducing a concept like NOW is alien to the mind;
it makes the mind uncomfortable. The mind says that NOW is
fantasy, not reality. But the most important thing that the mind
has to understand is that fantasy and reality are not very
different.
The day that your fantasies gain enough strength to become
reality within your own consciousness, then there is no distinction between fantasy and reality. Fantasy is phenomenon not yet
realized. Reality is a realized fantasy. So you have to make every
fantasy of yours become real. And I want you to do this within
the structure of the NOW, within the Divine moment. Make
use of the Divine moment to conceive of the fantasy. Then the
fantasy gets realized soon.
So you always have to get into the NOW in order to accelerate the process. The NOW has the energy to accelerate the
materialization of your fantasy. It has a Divine energy that transcends time, that transcends logic, that transcends the
conceptual constraints of the human mind. So it is terribly
important that we live in the NOW. Sometimes once in a day
or many times within a few hours, we are able to get into the
NOW. And within the NOW, we will challenge everything that
we have created for the day.
Be Divine Today
When you wake up in the morning, just get into the NOW:
80

I am in the NOW. Be without obligations just for a few

moments, because its the obligations you have set out for yourself during the day that cause you to act and follow a certain
schedule. You are going to follow a certain schedule, but what I
want you to do as you wake is to say to yourself, God, I want
to be Divine today. I dont want to be human anymore. Give me
an opportunity so that all things can be changed, and I can live
afresh. Then you will feel bliss. Then you will not feel that you
are a victim.
Then you will feel that every moment is NOW. And you
will begin to celebrate life. It is the Divine right for every
human being to be able to live spontaneously in the NOW.
Just float. While you are still engaged in doing things which
you have created, just float in the NOW. Do not carry anything
very deep within you which creates time. Just float. If you learn
to float, there are a lot of possibilities for you in this lifetime.
Only when you feel that you are stuck, things go wrong. First,
you feel that you are inside within your mind, then you create
the outside. If you are not stuck inside, you are not stuck
outside.
Thats the bottom line. Dont complain about others. Dont
complain about destiny. Dont complain about anything. If you
have to complain about someone, complain about yourself.
Because you are not living in the NOW.
And it doesnt cost you any money to live in the NOW. It is
your own action. It is your own mind that you need to control.
Suppress the mind and then get into the NOW. And when you
live in the NOW, God lives in you. God not only lives in you,
you become God.
But you refuse to accept that. You love to identify yourself
with the human-ness. You embrace limitation. You are afraid of
de-limitation. You are not afraid of a society which identifies
itself with human limitations. And if someone calls himself a
God, society is against that person. This happened in the life of
81

Jesus when Jesus started calling himself God. People stoned him
because it was blasphemous to equate oneself with God.
Now You Can Make Changes
Yet the Bible says that God created man in His own image.
So you have everything within you. All that you need to do is
get rid of your ego. Your ego is responsible for the separation
between you and God.
The moment you bring in the energy of NOW, you can
effect a lot of changes in your life. You can diffuse your diseases
because a disease is something of the past that hangs on to the
body because the body is in the past. The body cannot move,
and it has caught hold of an idea in the past. Because of the
material nature of the body, it clings onto the idea and lives that
idea of sickness for a certain time. But you can educate the body
to diffuse that idea by diffusing the concept of time. You can
cause the body to live in the NOW as well. The body has to live
the NOW. Once the body begins to live the NOW, then the
disease which was created in the past disappears.
So, people have to be systematically taught how the body
can live the NOW. How the cells of the body can be trained to
remain in the NOW. The cells also think. It is not only the
brain that thinks. The cells are also bound by the concept of
time. The cells must think: NOW... NOW... NOW...
NOW... NOW. When the cells pick up the NOW, they lose
interest in the old concept, and they will begin to live in the
Divine energy.
The same thing can be applied to relationships. One
morning I received a call, and not a very uncommon call at that.
This is one of the many calls that I receive: Dr Pillai, am I
goingto marry this person? My heart is drawn to him. What do
you say? Can you get into a Divine sphere and tell me whether
thisperson is out there for me? When am I going to marry him?
And I tell say, Look, it is your decision. It is not his deci82

sion. If you want to marry him, then marry him and have that
experience. But, one thing you must understand, that once you
get close you may not even want the experience. Every experience is a game that you are playing. But without playing games
there is no life. So play games, but play intelligently. Remember,
you should not make your lifes happiness dependent on
anything other than your own consciousness.
Your consciousness is full. It is completely full. It doesnt
need any experience whatsoever to make it happy or unhappy. It
is beyond happiness or unhappiness. It is bliss. However, being
conditioned by the body-mind, you are seeking some experience.
Go and have that experience, but no experience is going to
give you ultimate happiness. Ultimate happiness is the realization of the souls true nature.
Everything is a game. Continue to play the game, but play it
well.
Be Like God
God manifests things as soon as the thought comes into His

mind. This is called manifestation in the NOW. It is a simple
and joyful process. For human beings, manifestation of desired
objects is a complex process which does not happen in the
NOW. We need to create an action and wait until it is complete
to manifest things. For instance, if we need money we first
needto create a job or business to generate income, or we have
to borrow from someone. However, the requirement of an
action to manifest material reality appears to be redundant. In
Gods consciousness the thought and its object exist in blissful
union.God switches back and forth between thought and object
withutmost ease.
Who is this guy, God? Where does He live? How can we
learn this technique? God lives within you as the non-ego
consciousness without any identity whatsoever. We can learn
83

Gods consciousness if we can get rid of our ego-self. We need
innocence and purity at the Heartwe need to be utterly
simple and honest. With that, manifestation becomes easy.
Human beings are unable to conceive of the NOW of God,
which is also the Eternal Now. This is because human
consciousness believes and lives in linear realitya past, present
and future which are spread out in a line on the earth-plane in a
time-space continuum. We love the drama of life which consists
of love and longing, and success and failure. The Truth about
Time, however, is that everything is in the NOW. You dont
need to wait for the future to manifest thingsyou can manifest right NOW.
Nevertheless, you dont want to manifest NOW because you
are afraid and unsure of many things. This checklist will help
you to identify the problems:
1. Afraid of success because of its newness and unfamiliarity.
2. Satisfied with the current state of affairs and do not want
to venture into something new.
3. Afraid of hurting others.
4. Skeptical of success.
5. Lazy and lack motivation.
6. Lack the resources.
7. Lack the qualifications.
You might want to go over and over the checklist to identify
your problem. Maybe none of these categories describe your
situation very well. This checklist will, however, help you look
at yourself more closely. Write down what you think are the
problems that delay manifestation for you. Sincerely pray to
have these problems dissolved in Dr Pillais name. Praying like
that is like putting your request into a microwave to get it
resolved faster. Ask yourself the question every hour or two
during the day, Why am I not manifesting NOW? Keep a
84

journal and review it on a weekly basis.

MORNING TECHNIQUE
Practice Chaotic Breathing for two minutes. Exhale continually with vigor and visualize all the impurities leaving the body.
Practice the Ham Sa breathing technique for three minutes.
Exhale with both nostrils and mentally say, Ham. Then inhale
with both nostrils and mentally say, Sa.
Practice the Looking Up meditation for five minutes. Keep
the eyes closed and raise the eyeballs up as high as you can.
Pretend that you are watching the top of the sky. Imagine that
there are two parallel lines emanating from the eyes, and these
go straight up into the sky. Follow the two lines up as high as
you can. Bring the two lines together to find the point of
infinity. Now feel the connection between the point of infinity
and the third eye between the two eyebrows. Now feel the
channel that runs from the third eye and then down the spine
to the base of the spine.
Practice the Ah meditation for 10 minutes. The sound
Ah I received directly from the Siddha Nandi. In the Hindu
world, Nandi is depicted in the form of an enlightened bull.
Just as the Greeks have a story of Prometheus who stole fire
from heaven, Nandi kind of stole this Ah technique from
Kailash (Sivas heaven) because of his compassion for the
suffering of humanity. So, we are very grateful to him for this
Ah meditation. The whole world now knows this sound
through the efforts of Dr. Wayne Dyer, whom I authorized a
few years ago to teach the technique in his seminars.
Close your eyes...
Keep your hands still. Dont move your hands.
We are going to play a trick with our own mind. Just
pretend that you have lost the ability to move the hands. Its a
pretension. And although you may want to move the hands,
you cant move them. Its a pretension.
85

EXERCISE
This is an exercise to make you understand how powerful

your consciousness is.
Give yourself these directions:
You cant move your hands.
You cant move your hands. Repeat one time.
The hands are not moving. Repeat one time.
Now feel the energy that is coursing through your hands.
Feel the energy.
You cant move your hands.
The hands feel like rocks. Repeat one time.
Now slowly, slowly open your eyes, but dont move your
hands.
Now give back the consciousness to the hands and move
them.
This exercise will convince you that the mind is a very
powerful mechanism. Yet this only sets the stage for going
beyond the mind. When you remain completely still, when
every part of the body remains still, the mind will disappear.
Ah...Siddhi Consciousness
When the mind disappears, then you have access to different

forms of consciousness. Siddhi is one out of the several forms of
superconsciousness. It is through the Siddhi consciousness that
one can manifest quickly.
Now, the Siddhi consciousness has its own language, certain
key words that characterize the Siddhi consciousness. We will
consider some of the key words or key sounids in the Siddhi
consciousness.
The Siddhas maintain that the sound Ah has the ability to
conceive, meaning to conceive both an idea as well as a physical
conception. The conception of a baby or the conception of an
idea, both are done by the sound Ah. When the Ah is used

in a particular way, you set the creative energy to action.

The sound Ah creates a lot of material force which exhibits
both on the level of your mind and on the level of your body.
There is a secret here. The Ah has to be used in a certain way
for then it opens a pathway between the third eye and your sex
center.
The Ah starts at the sex center and goes into the third eye
and then from the third eye it returns to the sex center. When
you do this exercise with Ah, you will be able to find a
channel within you opening up which is now available for your
experience. Previously, you may not have used it consciously.
We use it unconsciously whenever we say, Ah. Joy is associated with Ah. When you leave the mind and experience even a
sexual ecstasy... Ah. What happens is the sound opens up the
channel between the sex enter and the third eye. When the
energy is released through the sex center, it results in procreation.
When it is released through the third eye it is realized as recreation meaning that any thought that comes into the third eye
by that time is realized. You are very fortunate that this teaching
is made available to the general public, and I hope you take full
advantage of it to create a better life for yourself and others. I
have special permission to release this into the West.
Previously, this has been kept secret, even within the tradition of the Siddhas. The principle is that procreation is not very
different from creation of material object or things you desire.
The same energy is used, but you release it from different
centers of the body.
In both cases when you do this sound Ah, it creates a sense
of joy and expansion within you when you recite it. When you
recite it in your meditation, youll have to raise the sound from
your sex center and be sure to do it with a joyous feeling, not
cerebrally. This is not intellectual knowledge, but a technique
that requires authentic emotion and true desires.
87
86

THE AH, OOH, MM M EDITATION
Lets practice Ah. Now imagine the sound going into the
third eye in between the eyebrows as you recite Ah.
You have to do it with emotion. Just listen how I recite
Ah. Lets do it together Ah.
Now whisper it Ah. Now whisper Ah three times.
Now in the third eye the sound, Ooh.
Lets do another recitation. Close your eyes. Ooh.
Ooh is the next stage in the material formation of the
world. First it starts with Ah, and then it becomes
Ooh. So, when we recite Ooh, we are entering into
the second stage in materializing pure energy.
Lets do it again: Ooh.
Let your whole body vibrate to the sound Ooh.
Now make the whole world vibrate with the sound Ooh,
the trees, the building, everything around is vibrating to
the sound Ooh as you recite Ooh.
Continue to do Ooh.
Now while you are reciting Ooh, close your eyes. Subtly
bring into your consciousness the things you want to
manifest, but it should not be done in an overly
pronounced way. Do this visualization very subtly as a
passionate feeling to create the things you want to manifest within the consciousness.
While you are reciting Ooh, subtly think about the
things you want to manifest. Ooh.
Now, go back to Ah. When you do the Ah, also bring
in the thought you want to manifest into physical
reality. Ah.
Now go to Ooh.
MORNING MEDITATION
So, as a daily morning meditation, first chant Ah and feel

88

the energy rising from your sex center up to your third eye.
Then, introduce the thought you want to manifest into your
third eye and continue to chant Ah, embracing your manifestation with all desire and emotion. For the next few minutes,
chant Ooh at the third eye and fill out the manifestation
see it, touch it, feel it, smell it, taste it. For the last few
minutes, chant Ma and know that the manifestation has taken
materialform; it is already here. Stay positive about this. Keep a
confident attitude toward the manifestation.
EVENING MEDITATION
Begin with ten minutes of the Thiru Neela Kantam meditation. For the first five minutes, mentally say, Thiru Neela
Kantam and picture three arrows of light piercing the brain
and penetrating through to the heart. For the next five minutes,
mentally say, Thiru Neela Kantam and focus on your throat,
visualizing a blue color. Imagine your karma escaping through
your throat.
Meditate using the Yogic Sleep CD.
Practice the following contemplation upon waking up:
What unlimited possibilities could happen today?
Visualize some outrageous possibilities filling with beautiful opportunities.
Practice the following contemplation before bed:
What have I been thinking about today? Do I want these
thoughts to be my reality?
Practice the following during awareness times:
Bring Trishulam into your awareness consistently during
these awareness times. Say it at least five times, either out loud
or inwardly.
1.
Upon waking up.
2.
Before every meal.
3.
Before bed.
89

What Is Out There For Me?
Select one object, event, or opportunity that is reasonably

attainable in the near future and would create the biggest
impact in your life. Visualize your manifestation at the third eye
with great emotion.
It is important to understand what market is there for your
ideas. If there is no market, do not pursue that idea.
Find out where your strengths are. Find out what is going to
be out there for you. Everyone is different. I have written
earlier of my studies of Vedic astrology. I have found this
ancient esoteric science to be surprisingly helpful for many
people. Some of you may want to go a Vedic astrologer and
find out what area in your life would most benefit from you
taking a risk. Others may have an intuitive sense of where they
need toapply their courage. Ask yourself, What is out there for
me? This is very important to know. You will be surprised to
know that your hearts desire and what you learn from the
astrologer are going to be the same. Vedic astrology is just a
reflection ofyour own destiny.
Dont Waste Time
Do not waste time. I have repeatedly told people, Waiting

is a waste of time. Make up your mind. Time will pass by, and
you will not progress. You should be very, very conscious. If you
have spent a day that is like every other day, that is a crime. You
have not lived up to the expectation of your soul. Your souls
desire is for you to become fully conscious. Do not fall into the
trap of unconsciousness, the trap of karma.
I encourage people to get a beeping watch so they can check
themselves every hour. This is such a great tool to help you stay
alert and conscious. Set the watch to beep once an hour. When
the watch chimes, you take an honest look at how you have
spent the hour which just passed. Use the beep to remind you
to repeat the mantra(s) you are working with, even if it is just
90

silently. Do the affirmations which will bring you back into the
timeless reality. It is very easy to change your life if you commit
yourself to the risk-taking aspect sound. Do not follow the
normal pace. If you do not take care of your destiny, then
destiny will take care of you!
Make up your mind right NOW. Do not allow time to pass
by. Once you have made a decision, you have to remain gungho. I will provide you with all the spiritual help that is needed
to enable you to progress with these tools. Have a picture of me
and look in my eyes. You will have an instantaneous transformationbecause I do not represent any part of the normal life on
this earth-plane. That is what I can offer you, silently; words are
not needed. You will come within my vision and there is transformation. I am empowering every sound, every technique, and
every suggestion in this book with a tremendous spiritual
power. I came here to help humanityglobal change,
individual change. They will come together. I encourage you
to do yourpart.
You cannot afford to waste time. I have immense compassion for you because I know how hard it is on the earth-plane
just to get by. Ignorance comes and envelops you. You are with
me as long as you turn to me with open hands. I am fully available to you. This statement is the most important part of this
book. I will send you incredible opportunities in life. Just look
to me, and I will look to you. Having kept me in your
consciousness, there is no way you will fall into mediocrity,
because you will become as you think. When you focus on an
enlightened teacher, that light comes into you.
The Right Idea
Everything boils down to having the right idea. Once the

right idea comes into your mind and you begin to act on it, you
find that results are inevitable.
Most important, just being in my presence will give you
91

incredible courage to embrace the risk. You will not learn this
the hard way if you use the techniques I have given you.
Courage will flow through you.
Look at my picture and carry this with you all the time.
Courage Comes from the Divine
It is very important to break away from mediocrity.

Mediocrity equals lethargy and an unwillingness to experiment.
It is a condition of low energy. No one who subscribes to
consensus reality ever made a difference in his or her life.
Everyone needs courage to explore new things. Courageous
people become exemplary.
Be prepared to undertake this journey of exploring and
being adventurous through risk-taking. What makes you avoid
risk are your old concepts of safety and security. In order to
make significant changes you must take risks. Before you risk,
see the pros and cons. Do not take blind risk. This is the practical side. On the spiritual side, first you need courage that
comes from the Divine Source. The Divine, in order to help
you, gives you courage. It encourages you by saying, Come on,
do this. The heart knows better than the head.
Love belongs to the heart. It is the greatest Intelligence, not
the intellect. The intellect can give reasoning, but love is
Intelligence. And Intelligence belongs to the Divine.

The mantra to increase your ability to perform right risktaking is Trishulam.

Put this sound into your...
Right Eye

Right ear

Left nostril
Tip of the tongue
Middle of the tongue
Back of the tongue, tonsils and throat
Third eye.
VISUALIZATION
Visualize the trident, a three-pronged weapon. This weapon

will give you courage. Put pictures of a trident around, and let
the power of this symbol sink in deeply. We see the trident in
many places as a symbol of great confidence: King Neptune
has a trident; the U.S. Navy SEALS use the trident on their
pin.Some of you may want to get pictures of Lord Siva sitting
with a trident. To meditate on this form as a mandala or
yantra brings courage. For the positive energies of meditation to
flow properly, you must have an attitude that is
victorious, triumphant, and confident. You must bring up
your courage, get your yang up to fully engage in successful
risk-taking.
Trishulam is the mantra for courage and for ending mediocrity. Tri in this mantra invokes the trident which is carried by
Lord Siva. So Trishulam invokes an archetypal symbol representing courage and ending mediocrity.
Use the following prayer every day upon awakening:
I dont want an unceremonious life.
I dont want an uneventful day.
I deny mediocrity.
Trishulam will open courage for you to live a new life. Use
this mantra with a specific goal in mind.
Do not use this encouragement to take risks that forego
common sense. There is the case of a woman who went out and
bought a car on a loan that she could not really afford. She
thought this risk was the kind of risk being spoken about. To
compound the situation, she did not buy theft insurance, and
the car was stolen. She was left with a four-year new car loan

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti
Chapter 4
Happiness and Material Comforts
MANTRA: SHREEM SHREENG SIRIYUM SIRIYUNG
(PRONOUNCED: SHREEM SHREUNG
SIR-I-YM SIR-I-YUNG)
appiness and comfort are two different categories. Money can give comfortsa nice car,
a beautiful home, relaxing vacations, and so
forth, but not necessarily happiness.
Happiness comes out of doing what one likes. Happiness is an
expression of ones own heart. The key input is that opening the
heart chakra is important for a free flow of emotions that lead to
happiness. In general, thats why Nietzche said, I could only
believe in a God that would know how to dance. The joyous,
celebratory energies of song, dance and music are sources of
happiness. This chapter presents some spiritual tools for you to
have both happiness and material comforts in abundance.
To start with, I want you to look at issues concerning your
practical needs on this earth-plane. I want to make your life
easier. As embodied beings, we all require that the body be kept
healthy, and this body needs to be fulfilled. A primary requirement that everyone has is comfortable roof over your head. I
know that different people want different life styles, but
everyone must have, at least conceptually, an idea of a comfortable house.
Ones soul remembers how it lived in a past life and wants to
create the same situation now. Because of past life bad karma,
95

there is suffering in this life. Once you pay for it, you can get
back to the original place: joy.
The moment you focus on comfort, you attract a nice
home, a nice car, and the comforts of life. I want to give
manifestation tools to everyone who will make a commitment
that they are going to square things away in two areas: house
and car. You have to have the consciousness established of
having a beautiful house and a car you genuinely would enjoy
to drive. You have to be committed to authentic desires for
these tools to work.
Dont Limit Your Imagination
I am going to give you some real life examples. Some time

ago, I was being video taped, and in that particular taping
session, I focused on the issue of owning a house. After the tape
session was over, the gentleman who was video taping me began
to understand the misconceptions he had about his own
housing situation. All his life he had lived in New York City.
The general thinking in New York City is that if you live in
New York City, you dont need a house. So many people live in
New York City with this concept that the best you can hope for
in a New York City housing situation is to be cramped within a
little tiny, studio apartment. The first important thing is to get
out of limited thinking in which you have concluded that you
are living in Manhattan and that you are not eligible for a larger
living space. You have to break this concept before you make
any kind of changes.
Once you have settled for living in a small studio apartment,
whether it is in New York City or Virginia Beach, then there is
usually no possibility for your making any change to live in a
bigger space. So the first thing you have to do is remove these
misconceptions about not needing a larger space. The truth is a
larger space gives you more freedom. You can have a room for
your meditation, you can have a room for your studies, you can
have a room for meeting people, etc. This is a much nicer reality
96

than a cramped studio apartment.

Dont put a cap or limitation on your imagination. Any cap
you have on your imagination is arbitrary and comes from your
own negativity. This negativity you may have picked up through
your parents/grandparents/religious conditioning or other
sources. So, the first step that you have to do is to remove your
limited thinking. Consciously dismiss these misconceptions
about housing. It is very important to do this.
Once you have broken the limitations on your imagination,
you can go and build a new reality. First, you have to do the
homework to allow this to happen. As I told you, this story is a
real life example. The man who video taped me was able to buy
a house within six months. Previously, he was not able to buy a
house because he lived in this limited thinking that since he
lived in New York City he should be satisfied to live in a
cramped, small rented space. When he removed his misconceptions, he gave the Divine forces an opportunity to work.
This is an important point: give the Divine forces an opportunity to work. When you say, I have no money, or other
negative statements, you freeze reality. Make provision for
things to happen in the Now. Time is an illusion. Dont stop the
blessings. They are already available in the NOW. You block the
blessings through your own perceptions.
You have to really open up your mind. This is the beginning
step for everyone who desires to move into his or her ideal
home. Unfortunately, the mind wants to go in logical
sequences. It doesnt want to go to the end result right at the
beginning. You must conceive of outrageous outcomes. You can
have everything in the NOW provided you make a commitment to a different kind of thinking. This is accomplished
through the science of spirituality. Spirit is unlimited. It is only
matter that is limited. With spirit everything is possible. We
have to bring spirituality back into our lives. Being spiritual
means being positive, being unlimited, being joyous forever and
97

ever.
Practical Spirituality
Most people have been taught that life is suffering. This is all
wrong thinking, wrong teaching. We have to get back to our
own original unlimited Self, which is pure, unending joy. This
will be part of our consciousness as we move into the next
millennium. Currently, many people have become specialists in
impossibilities. Forget it; I cant afford it right now. I cant even
afford a two-bedroom apartment. How do you think I can
buy a house? The moment you have said this to yourself, you
will never be able to buy a house, because you are being
negative. Somewhere something has gone deeply wrong within
us if we cannot even wish good things for ourselves. We
cannot wish that we could have a beach house. Why not?
Because the logickicks in, No, no, there is no money.
Money is not needed. What is needed is just the pure desire
to have a house. Once the desire is there, then you can manifest
it. This is the bottom line. How can you get that desire into
your consciousness? That is the key issue. There are spiritual
techniques that change the very core of your consciousness so
that you will be able to alter your negativity.
Change your life through your own spirituality. Use spirituality principles to enhance your practical life on this
earth-plane.
Squaring Things Away
The number four represents the square, the geometrical

figure of the square. There is an expression in English, to
square away. This is an important expression. I have to square
this, means: Im going to make it completed. Squaring here is
used as a metaphor for clarifying something. When you look at
a square, it is the most perfect geometric form. If you take one
line out of the square it is incomplete. Sacred geometry exists
but we have lost touch with it. The classical Greeks knew sacred
98

geometry; the sages of India were specialists in it. They have

known the use of sacred geometry from very ancient times.
If you have an understanding of the square in your
consciousness, then you will find that it leads to your settling
many of the issues that are related to matter. Housing is the
most fundamental of these issues. Once you have a house, then
you need a car. Your house and your car are a reflection of your
consciousness expressed in physical reality.
Consciousness is everything. Once you have the consciousness, then you can change anything. Whatever you put in your
consciousness will manifest. If you put a junky car in your
consciousness, a junky apartment in your consciousness, these
will manifest for you. Dont blame God; dont blame your
destiny; dont blame your lack of education. Dont blame
anyone or anything. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself. To blame someone is a cop-out. There is nobody to blame.
You are the creator of all these dramas. You can create a good
drama or a bad drama, but you have to take responsibility for
whatever you create. There is never a period in your life that
you are a victim. You are never a victim. You can just walk out
and say, Goodbye, I cant take this misery any more. I have just
committed myself to happiness, to unending happiness. Then
you realize it is in your life.
It is very important to understand how powerful you are.
Rather than complain to others about being a victim to this
situation, realize that you are not a victim. You are going to
square away these things.
I will give you another example. There was a woman I met
in Pasadena, California many years ago. She came to me and
said, Dr Pillai, I want to buy a house next year. I said,
Why do you want to buy it next year? She said, It is
because ofpractical concerns. She explained she had just gotten a
job and needed to save up money for a down payment. In her
mind, bynext year, she would have money saved up to be able
to buy a
99

house. She could decide to buy a house even before one year
was up. She was not giving opportunity to other forces, beyond
her control, to work in her favor.
Think about this. You may lose your job within a year. Then
you may not be able to buy the house at all. I am not saying
that you should not plan. You should plan. Everyone should
plan. But you should also make provision for things to happen
momentarily because time is an illusion. When you decide not
to buy a house sooner, you are not allowing things to happen.
You are stopping the timeless blessings.
Unfortunately, the mind wants to proceed in logical
sequences. It does not want to go to the end result right at the
beginning. I have come here to this earth-plane in order to
promote outrageous thinking. I have come here to give you
thinking outside of time. I have come here to tell you how you
can have everything in an hour, provided you make a commitment to a different kind of thinking.
Being Spiritual Means Being Positive
All this I am going to do, not through the modern sciences

you now know, but through a science that challenges your
understanding. It is the science of spirituality. Spirit is unlimited. It is only matter that is limited. With spirit, everything is
possible. That is why we have to bring spirituality back into our
lives.
Being spiritual means being positive. Being unlimited. Being
joyous forever, and ever, and ever. We cannot even conceive that
we can be joyous forever because we have been taught that life is
suffering. It is all wrong thinking, wrong teaching. We have to
get back to our own, original, unlimited self, which is just joy,
never ending joy that will be part of our consciousness as we
move into a new era. In the new millenium, we are going to
learn new sciences, which are in fact old sciences from the
Wisdom Traditions.
100

By incorporating this ancient wisdom into our lives, we can

change things that we now think are impossible. We have
become specialists in impossibilities, as in Forget it; I cannot
afford it right now. I cant even afford a two bedroom apartment
so how can you think that I can have a house?
The moment you think these thoughts you will not buy a
house because you are negative. It is because logic kicks in: No,
no there is no money to do all these things.
Let me tell you again: Money is not needed to buy a house.
What is needed is a pure desire to own a house and once that
desire is there you can manifest it. That is the bottom line. How
can you get that desire into your consciousness? This is the key
issue. I am going to teach you some spiritual techniques that
will change your soul. The very core of your consciousness will
change so that you will innately be able to alter your negativity.
The secret of manifestation is having an open heart.
Manifestation based on spiritual principles involves
developinga doubt-free faith.
Everything I do in this book has a deeper purpose. I can go
on and on explaining to you how I structured this, but I am not
going to do it because it is not necessary. All that I want you to
do is just follow some of these things that I ask you to do in this
book.
Applied Spiritual Science
I am going to help you change your life mostly through spiritual technology. I just want you to be conscious of one thing:
the number four. It represents the geometrical figure, the
square. We are going to square things away! If you have an
understanding of the square in your consciousness, you will find
that it leads to your having to settle many issues that are related
to matter. Housing is one. Housing is the most fundamental.
Cut out squares and put them everywhereon the refrigerator, on your books, in your bathroom, wherever you can, so
101

that you can look at the square often. By looking at the square,
you can square away many things in your life. Just by looking at
squares, so many things can get corrected. Sacred geometry can
change the very structure of your consciousness. It can correct
certain misconceptions that you have had which resulted in
your lack of comfort.
Visualizing What You Need
Once you have the house, you need a car. This chapter gives
techniques where you change your car consciousness. I have a
very strange reputation of giving new cars to my students. It all
happened when I first started a program a few years ago because
people needed to change their consciousness about cars. When I
first started one of my year-long Personal Transformation
Programs, one woman, in the second week, bought a Mercedes.
Before the program ended, at least three other people in the
program bought Mercedes-Benzes. That happened because they
were able to get that desire into their consciousness.
Consciousness is everything. Once you have the right
consciousness, it can change everything. When I first went to
California, I met an engineer. He came to pick me up in his old
pick-up truck. He had such a bad consciousness. He told me
that the truck had been with him for twelve years. It was a
miserable experience for me because he had to put my luggage
in the back, and there was rain while we were driving to his
house, and my luggage got wet. I had to make him aware of the
mistakes he was making with regard to his car consciousness.
Within two months of working with the techniques, he
boughta Mercedes.
Whatever you put in your consciousness will manifest. So, if
you put a junky car or a junky apartment in your consciousness,
dont blame God, dont blame destiny, dont blame your lack of
education. Do not blame anyone. If you have to blame
someone, blame yourself. To blame someone else is a cop out.
102

There is no one else to blame. You are the creator of all these
dramas. You can create a good drama or a bad drama. But you
have to take responsibility for whatever you create. Dont say
you are a victim of circumstances. One is never a victim. You
can just walk out. You can just say, Thats it, I cannot handle
this misery anymore. I have just committed myself to happiness. Then you will realize it in your life.
It is very important to realize how powerful you are. Make a
decision that you are going to square away these things. That is
why I want every one of you to make a commitment in this
chapter that you will square away things.
Most people dont have good houses or nice cars. But some
of you may want to establish a new consciousness permitting
these. Say to yourself, I am going to have a beautiful house
and a beautiful car. Once you have talked your mind into it, it
willhappen. If not now, maybe a year later.
I remember one lady who was following my teachings got so
upset because she was driving a car worth about $400. I saw her
walking out of the seminar room and kicking her car. She said
to her car, You represent my consciousness, and I do not want
you! She was literally kicking her car. Do you know what
happened? The following day, her mother called and said, I
had a huge check come in from someone who I thought would
not pay back the money [owed]. The first thing I want to do is
to get rid of my old Cadillac and buy a new Cadillac car. I am
going to give you my old Cadillac for free because I do not need
it. The woman from my class was amazed how well the technique worked for her!
Focus on the Square
To help you make changes about material comfort, I want

you to focus on the sacred geometry of the square. The four
sides of a square represent the number four, and the four sides
will help you to square things away. Both the geometric shape of
103

the square and the number four contain energies which

complete material formation. Squares or rectangles give a solid
foundation for material life.
You must establish this square consciousness within yourself.
Draw a square. Carry a square and put it on the refrigerator, on
your books, on your table-wherever it will enable you to look
at it frequently. By looking at the square, you are going to
square many things in your life. This is what sacred geometry is
going to do for you.
Just by looking at squares, so many things will correct themselves. I am considering developing computer programs to
introduce sacred geometry and how it can change the very
structure of your being and how it can correct certain misconceptions that you have had, which are the causes for your
current discomforts. If you dont have a house, if you dont have
a good body, if you dont have a good car, then something has
gone wrong. What has gone wrong is that you have an amorphous consciousness. Your consciousness is not supporting any
form. So, we are going to create a form here for you to focus on
because form is clarity. Understand this: clarity and form are
synonymous. You will get clarity just by looking at a square
which is a very structured form.
So, first, you have to have an authentic desire. Put this
square in your consciousness. Actually draw a square.
I am also going to give you a meditation. This is another
meditation involving the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi. We will
continue to use certain symbols which belong to our archetypal
consciousness that will aid you in creating prosperity consciousness.
The whole meditation is a proactive mental therapy. The
images are strong symbols that will directly involve your unconscious.
It is very important to work with the unconscious. This is to
your advantage. To work with the unconscious is to work in the
realm of miracles or outrageous thinking. We need to change

reality right now. We are not going to just sit and say, Let me
wait for a year to get my down payment. These things are going
to take time.
Those of you who have been around me and are working
with my CD of affirmations know I have said repeatedly,
Waiting is a waste of time. Just get this idea into your
consciousness. We dont want to wait. We want it right now.
The moment you make a decision, I want it now, you will
begin creating what you ask for.
104
105
MEDITATION ON LAKSHMI (PRONOUNCED: LAKSH-MI)
Now I am going to take you step-by-step into a meditation

that involves using many deep archetypal symbols. Lakshmi
herself is an energy giving you direction. The word Lakshmi in
Sanskrit has many meanings, but one of the primary
meanings is that it gives direction. It is important to have
direction. If youdo not have direction you will not go anywhere.
Supposing youare going to Cleveland, Ohio and you dont have
directions to Cleveland, Ohio, so then you will end up going
somewhere else. Why? You will go somewhere else because you
do not have thedirections. So, Lakshmi is going to give you the
directions you need. She will give you directions for squaring
things away. Thisis a very, very ancient science. Following this
science, you willnot have difficulty in manifesting things in your
life. All that I request is that you be committed to the
instructions, committedto using the sounds.
VISUALIZATION MEDITATION
Now, lets do this meditation. You can either lie down or sit
comfortably.
Close your eyes. Ignore all your thoughts.
Thoughts will come and go.
They are just aberrations.

You are not going to identify yourself with any of the
thoughts.
Let them check in and check out.
Dont move your body.
Keep your body still.
Think of a mountain, which never moves.
Imagine yourself as a mountain.
Dont move. The mountain does not move. The mountain
represents the highest consciousness as it is quite still.
That is why gods are said to live in the mountains.
In Sanskrit, mountain is achala (pronounced: ack-ALA).
Mountain, mountain, mountain: achala, achala, achala. These
sounds are very important for the unconscious.
Dont move.
Dont move.
Imagine the mountain has two broad wings.
Now, the wings are spread.
I am going to cut off the wings of the mountain so that the
mountain cannot fly.
Now the wings are cut off.
Achala. Achala. Achala.
Perfect non-movement.
Now, I am going to give you an experience of movement.
Visualize a milky ocean, an ocean full of milk.
Picture an ocean not of salty water, but see an ocean of white
milk.
The waves are white, milky white. It is a white, endless,
milky ocean.
In the middle of this milky ocean, you see some movement, right in the middle.
You see some bubbles.
From out of this ocean of milk you see the goddess
Lakshmi coming out from the depth of the ocean.
106

She has a light body; she is very radiant; her body is gold in
color.
Her body is pure gold, and you can see the radiance from
out of the milky ocean as she is coming out.
She is sitting on a sweet-smelling lotus flower, and you
look at her crown, for she is wearing a golden crown.
Look at her face.
She is very beautiful.
She has four arms.
She is sitting on this lotus flower.
Now, her eyes are closed as she fully emerges out of this
milky ocean.
She is opening her eyes.
She looks at you.
As she looks at you, two rays of light emerge out of her
eyes and fall into your eyes.
You are transformed.
You are now in communion with the goddess Lakshmi!
Receive her energy.
Square away your consciousness.
Then there are other happenings right on this milky ocean.
You see, by the side of Lakshmi, on her right side, an
elephant.
This elephant is a magical white elephant.
You see another white elephant on her other side.
A little farther away you see a money tree come out of this
ocean.
You go close to this money tree.
The leaves are golden.
This money tree has a special ability to grant your wishes.
You just go and hug the tree. You are going to go and talk
to the gold leaves.
Now make a prayer to the leaves in the money tree.
107

You want the tree in your own house.
You pray to the tree to give you abundance, material abundance, abundance in terms of money, for you need
abundant money.
Now you see another phenomenon taking place, and this
isa moon coming out of this milky ocean.
It is a full moon.
The moon is rising.
It goes up right into the sky.
Now you see something else taking place right on this
milky ocean.
You see a magical white horse.
The horse has wings like a Pegasus.
It looks so beautiful.
You have all these images of Lakshmi looking at you.
The rays of light from Lakshmis eyes are beaming into
your eyes. Now say these sounds repeatedly:
SHREEM, SHREENG, SIRIYUM, SIRIYUNG.
Your square consciousness is getting completed as you chant
these four sounds. Visualize a square and at the bottom of the
square on the left side of the square ~ SHREEM ~ the top of
square ~ SHREENG ~ the right side of the square, SIRIYUM,
the left side of the square, SIRIYUNG. Receive the Light from
Lakshmis eyes.
Ooooouuuuummmmm. Shanti. Shanti. Shanti.
Keep your eyes closed. Relax. Slowly, slowly, come back to
yourself.
DRAWING A SQUARE TECHNIQUE
Another technique is to use a piece of paper and a pen or

pencil. You are going to draw a square on the paper and visualize inside a square the desired manifestation, such as a car or a
house. Make your visualization very specific.

Chant the mantra as you to build the square:

Draw in the bottom of the square.
Draw in the left side of the square.
Draw in the top of the square.
Draw in the right side of the square.
Keep chanting continuously as you draw the square.
Build a strong visual image of the manifestation inside the
square.
Continue chanting. Let the mantra penetrate the
visualization.
This process will square away the manifestation.
You are working with the sacred geometry of squares. Some
people ask, What color should the square be? It doesnt
matter, although you could use red because red is the color of
attraction. Others ask me, Should I use a box to represent the
square? No, the box is a cube, a different geometric form. The
square is four-sided.
Just Do It
Now that I have given you the techniques, I could go on and

on and explain to you for many pages how these specific symbols
work. But it is not important. If you go to a doctor, he may give
you medicine for an ailment you may have. However, he doesnt
necessarily explain everything to you about how the medicine is
going to work. All he does is to tell you to take this pill, twice a
day. It is the same with this meditation. Just follow this meditation, follow the sounds, and follow the images. The most
important thing is to carry positive, healthy, body consciousness;
positive house consciousness; and positive car consciousness
throughout your daily life.
I have people come up to me after I given these sounds for
material comforts and say, Ive been on a spiritual path for a
long time, and Im confused. How can it be okay to want things
109
108

like a Mercedes and a luxurious home and still be spiritual? Be

assured ALL of the techniques for manifestation in this book are
based on enhancing your spirituality and cultivating your relationship with the Divine.
For those who are comfortable focusing on the feminine
aspect of the Divine, you may want to put some pictures of
Lakshmi around. For those wanting a deeper connection with
Lakshmis energy, know that chanting to Lakshmi on Friday
evenings is very powerful, especially between 10 p.m. and 1
a.m. If you focus on Lakshmi during that time and light a candle
and offer the candle to her picture or statue. Place 108 pink
flower petals before her picture or statue as you chant Om
Shreem Swaha with each petal. This will increase the flow of her
blessingsfor material comforts.
You can usually get 108 petals out of four to five plump
carnations, for example. You dont need to remove the petals
ahead of time; you can pluck them off the flower for each repetition. (People can also use mala beads to help them count the
flower petals/mantra repetitions. I explain more about mala
beads in Chapter 15.) Some people pluck the petals and place
them in a bowl beforehand and then take then out one at a time
for the offering. There is not a hard and fast way to do this. Be
sensible about what works for you! Handling the flower petals
brings you in contact with a very pure vibration, and I have
already explained in Chapter 3 something about the connection
between flowers and other dimensions. There are many beautiful esoteric secrets regarding flowers, and I suggest some of
these will open up for you if you work faithfully with this technique.
This is a gesture some people like to do to honor the sacred
use of these flowers. When the flower petals have dried up, do
not discard them in the trash. Flowers that have been used in
spiritual offerings can be scattered onto the earth, someplace
where people will not walk on them, and they will just recycle
into the earth. Some people who live in city apartments with no
yard, collect their used flower offerings into a paper or plastic
bag and scatter them in a park or field when they take a walk in
open nature.
Continue to work with the tools that appeal to you.
Meditate on Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth, using the various
symbols from the milky ocean which belong to our archetypal
consciousness. This will aid you in creating prosperity
consciousness.
110
111
Things to Remember
Meditating on Lakshmi is mythotherapy. These images

directly affect the unconscious mind. Working with the unconscious opens up the realm of miracles, the realm of outrageous
thinking. We need to change our realities. We dont want to
wait; we want it now. The moment you make a decision that
you want it now, you create the situation. It all starts with an
inner decision.
Then do the meditation for programming your square. The
energy of Lakshmi gives you direction. Without direction, you
go nowhere. With direction, you square things away. This is a
very ancient science, using the principles of sacred geometry to
create new form and clarity in your life. Follow the spiritual
science and you will not have difficulty manifesting what you
want in your life. JUST BE COMMITTED.
Song, dance, and music are the greatest sources of happiness.
Sing! Dance! Listen to beautiful music. This will also open your
enjoyment of material comforts.
Om. Shanti. Shanti. Shanti.
Peace. Peace. Peace.
Peace to the body.
Peace to the mind.
Peace to the soul.

Personal Connection with God
MANTRA: ARUT PERUM JYOTI
(PRONOUNCED: AR-RUT PEY-RUM JO-TEE)
hat we consider luck or fortune is a giftfrom God.

Some people are born with a silver spoon in
their mouth. These people do not toil, but
most people
have to make their way by the sweat of their brow. Some people
hardly make it. What can we do about our fortune? Fortune is a
result of our past lives. Many people have asked me, Why is
such is there so much poverty and suffering in India? There are
temples everywhere, and there a rich spiritual tradition. Why
there so much poverty in India?
The problem in India is that people do not understand spirituality in the right sense. It is true that the country is flooded
with temples and temple attendance is high. But although
people go to the temples, they dont believe in God. Their belief
in God is only marginal. It is an unconscious robot activity.
There is no trust at all.
God does appear to people. This is not just a product of the
imagination or a hallucination. Many do not have enough faith.
We go to the temple/church/mosque/synagogue, and our trust
is not there. The problem with humanity is lack of faith, lack of
trust.
Mind is Negative, Faith is Positive
We need a commited faith to connect with God.
112
113

Unfortunately, many have lost their emotion of faith. It is
because of science. Science is based upon mistrust. Already our
ego is not letting us have faith in God. Now science, which is
based on the model of doubt, reinforces our innate tendency to
disbelieve and doubt.
We have hit the rock bottom. Strictly speaking there is no
way out from your current mess. We are absolutely pushed into
a corner. We are desperate. Our minds dont work. Our bodies
suddenly have lost all energy. What do we do? This is the time
for providence, luck. Providence works through miracles. Where
do these miracles come from? God. God watches over you
although you are not able to see Him. I repeat, luck is a gift
from God.
When I say God, it is not a Christian, Jewish, or Hindu
God. It is the Supreme Energy that supports life. You can definitely access this Energy through any form presented by the
different religions. You can then turn to these Divine figures for
help and protection. They will certainly respond to you if you
pray to them sincerely, with faith. But unfortunately, the mind
constantly moves from one idea to another. It is hard to keep
attention on anything for a prolonged period of time. Also faith
seems not quite natural to the modern mind. Mind is rational
while faith is irrational. Mind is logical; faith is illogical. Mind
is fact-oriented, faith deals with truth. Mind is doubtful; faith is
doubt-free. Mind is duality, and faith is unity. Mind is negative,
and faith is positive.
Humanity has come to a realization that our dedication to
science has not given us peace of mind. It has made us more
miserable. So that life can be peaceful and joyous once again,
more people are looking at older ways of livingbringing faith
back into our lives.
God exists. Grace exists. Enlightenment exists. You will
benefit more by dedicating your life to the Divine. The Divine
can do things more easily than your ego-self can. It is because of
114

your ego that you stop the flow of grace. Ego devises many
devious ways in order to get things done. Drop off your ego;
then you can get into the field of grace. It is important to
understand this point. You will never come to grace through
your mind. Grace is beyond mind, beyond ego.
We have been trained not to believe in God. We have been
trained to believe in our self, in our own ego, in our own mind.
You have to make a tremendous effort to believe in God.
Making a Connection with God
I want to give you some tools to access a personal connection with God. Your connection may not be the same as your
neighbors, so you must pick the right tools that suit you. To do
that, you must do some self-assessment.
Every individual is different. One may be very intellectual,
while someone else is very emotional, yet another is skeptical.
Each human being has certain innate qualities. In order to
access the grace of God, each individual must look inside and
find what type of individual he or she is. Depending upon that,
one can get into a practice which will be useful for finding God
and Gods grace.
Path ofKnowledge: Jnana (pro. Jah-Nana)
Let us recognize that there are various types of individuals.

Those who are intellectually oriented follow the path of the
intellect. The path of the intellect is not only discursive
reasoning. It is beyond that. The path of the intellect may start
with inquiry, but it eventually leads to enlightenment. This is
called the path of jnana, the Path of Knowledge.
According to this path, God is Intelligence. So you begin to
understand the structure of Intelligence. You begin to question,
Who is the perceiver? How do I perceive things around me?
Am I perceiving through the linguistic tools? What are my
prejudices? What is the phenomenon of sound? What is the
115

phenomenon of light? How do I know?
These kinds of queries can eventually lead you to enlightenment. The Buddha followed this path which led him to the idea
that reality is empty. When you annihilate your mind, then
there is emptiness. That emptiness is Fullness. And in Fullness
you realize that you are infinite. In that condition, you have
accomplished the goal of your own existence. In this path you
follow mostly a monastic life and practice intellectual reasoning
and meditative exercises.
Path of Devotion: Bhakti (pro. BAK-ti)
However, I recommend a more lively and enjoyable

approach. It is the approach of bhakti (devotion). If you devote
yourself totally to a God or to a Guru of your choice, you
achieve things much faster than through jnana. The devotion
should be unconditional. It should be total surrender. Once you
do that, you are in the field of grace. It is the easiest way.
The structure of devotion is fascinating. It is very human.
Within the Tamil tradition, you find this structure fully
explained in the lives of many saints. You can enter into a very
personal relationship with a God of your choice. He can be your
Friend, a friend who can get you anything. He can also be
conceived of as your Master. This is the way most commonly
followed, the guru-apprentice/disciple relationship. You
absolutely surrender to the teacher. You dont just trust your
intellect; you dont trust your ego or your mind. You trust only
the master, and your whole life is dedicated to the master. In
another modality, God becomes the lover, as in the case of
Krishna and Radha. Radha is the greatest exponent of romantic
love. She totally dedicates herself to the love of Krishna. Radha
is the human soul, and Krishna the God.
You can get into a very intimate relationship with the deity.
As you begin to pour your heart into the deities, the deities will
come alive. Through your own emotions, the deity becomes real

to you. You can achieve whatever you want to achieve through

total devotion to the deity. Worship the deity; pour out your
heart to that deity. Make sure you can resonate with that
feeling. Then the deity comes alive. Always think only about the
deity. Then grace will come to you. This is the easiest way. You
can this with Jesus/Buddha/Mary/Allah/Yaweh/Quan Yin, etc.
You can worship any deity from any tradition. Make sure
you can get into the emotions. If you have a natural pull toward
a particular deity, if you could love that deity unconditionally
with great emotion, then you can access grace. Once you access
grace, your whole self is filled with great intelligence. That intelligence is responsible for creating your life. It is good to develop
a personal relationship with the deities. Deities are always
watching you and are ready to help you. They are going to send
special envoys to help you. The mantras put you in intimate
contact with the deities so that you can use the Divine help.
Grace
Grace is never ineffective. Once you receive the grace of an

enlightened Siddha, it never goes to waste.
: Reflect on all that has occurred in your own life as a
result of grace.
: Practice reverence, sincerity, faith and love.
: Allow yourself to adore God. Imagine Him/Her to be in
every part of you.
: Meditate on Gods qualities, such as nobility and mercy.
MANTRA: ARUT PERUM JYOTI
(PRONOUNCED: AR-RUT PEY-RUM JO-TEE)
Chant this mantra: Arut perum jyoti...

While chanting, visualize grace as a vast light pouring down
from heaven. The light comes down. It comes in through the
top of your head.
Visualize the vast grace light getting into every cell of the
116
117

body. Feel the grace of God in every part of you.

Arut means Intelligence. Intelligence is the grace of God.
This chant and visualization reprogram the cells. As you
continue the chant and visualization, Infinite Divine
Intelligence starts to fill you.
Grace fills your mind and purifies it.
Grace fills your ego and purifies it.
The mind merges with grace, and merges with God.
Arut perum jyotithis mantra has come directly from the
Divine. Siva Nataraj, the dancing form of Lord Siva, gave it to
me when I was Swami Ramalingam in my previous
incarnation.I am so happy to share it with you.
It is very important to connect with the deity in an intimate
personal relationship. make a connection with the deity that
you most resonate with. Pick an area of your life that needs
Divine grace to enter into it. Surrender this area to the deity.
Say with deep feeling, I give this problem to you; I ask for your
grace to solve my problem. Pray for grace to enter into all
aspects of your life.
As you do the mantra, Arut perum jyoti, visualize white light
entering you. Keep seeing the grace light to go deeper and
deeper into your cells. Try this for 20 minutes.
believe in the name of Jesus and its ability to accomplish things

for you? You may say, I have prayed in Jesus name many times,
but nothing has happened.
All that I can tell you is that there is nothing greater than
Gods name. But you must believe whole heartedly and be
emotionally able to relate to the divine name that you call on
for help.
For instance, if you are a devout Christian, you may not be
able to call on Allah/Buddha/Siva. Yet, I have been able to
perform miracles in the lives of individuals who trusted me
totally. Then there are others who claim that they are following
me, but they are only following themselves. Jesus said, Love
me, but how many people really do love Jesus?
Another question many people ask me is, Isnt surrender
becoming powerless? To be honest, this is a question that all
spiritual aspirants ask at some point. The answer is, No. In
fact, true spiritual surrender is a powerful state. What you
surrender is your limited ego to the Higher Self or God. This
allows for higher intelligence to guide your life. When you give
away your ego, you are giving away something that doesnt
really belong to you.
The Importance of Belief
I encourage you to develop a personal relationship with

God. I recommend that you keep a picture or statue of whatever
deity you resonate with, and do the following: Light a candle,
burn incense. Talk to God like a friend. Tell Him/Her what you
want. Pray for grace.
There are people who attend my lectures, purchase my CDs

and try mantras, and then they ask why things are still not
working. Why is God not responding to you? Its because you
dont believe in God. You may say to yourself that you believe in
God. But the truth is, you believe only in your ego and in the
world. You either think about yourself, which is your ego-self,
or about the world. God is not the priority in this dark age.
Thats why there is so much suffering and agony.
Jesus said frequently, Believe in me, and my name can do
everything for you. Let us be honest. How many people really

Chapter 6
Health, Enemies, Debt and
Litigation
MANTRA: SARAVANABAVAYA
(PRONOUNCED: SAH RAH VAH NAH BHAH VAH YAH)
ealth is the most important gift that one can

have in life. If you lose health, you lose everything. Life becomes miserable. A healthy
body and mind make life enjoyable. to maintain physical health, we should not abuse the body with wrong
food. To maintain mental health, we should not abuse the mind
with negative thoughts. Negativity is the direct cause for disharmonycrime, enemies, debts, ligitations, etc. In this chapater, I
will discuss the spiritual laws underlying debt, enemies, ill
health, etc.
The literature from many religious traditions indicate that
the number six is negative. Six represents energies dealing with
debt, ill health, accidents, prison, and court cases, everything
that contradicts progress. Life implies both good and bad. In
the earth-plane, which is a plane of duality, we do not know
how we can relate unless there are polar opposites. Six has
become necessary so there is a battle. Without a battle we dont
go anywhere. If everything happens effortlessly, there will be
nothing to do in life.
However, avoiding problems is sometimes better than facing
all of them. Remember that your future is already in your
consciousness. In our psyche we already know what we are
120

CHAPTER 6: HE ALTH, ENE MIES, DEBT AND LITIGATION
going to do in the year 3000. It is amazing, but that is how life

has been structured. That is how consciousness is. If we know
we could have an accident, ill health, or accumulate debt, we
can take steps to avoid these happenings. No one needs these
experiences.
The Challenge of Finding the True Causes of Disease
First, we will focus on one of the serious problems caused by

the number six: ill health. What is ill health? It is dis-ease. It
challenges the natural equilibrium of life. Basically, health is a
matter of our own attitude. It is a reflection of our consciousness. Disease is caused by a certain negative attitude. If one can
disperse the negative attitude, then disease will disappear.
Everything starts in an invisible way and becomes visible. If we
can get into the invisible sphere where we have created the
disease and release that attitude then we have made a solid foundation to heal ourselves.
Doctors have been saying that we only treat symptoms and
not causes. Seldom are the true causes of illness really known.
To do that requires an investigation into your past life as well as
an investigation into your current life and the forces that affect
you. For instance, the planets have a strong effect on you. In
order to get healthy, everyone should go deep into ones own
consciousness and understand the process of reversing a chain of
events that has finally manifested as a disease. Anyone who
suffers from a chronic illness has, as a counterpart to the
outward disease, a deep emotional problem. Unless you address
that problem, you will not find a permanent solution no matter
what medicine you take. It is important that you delve deep
into your own consciousness and find the answers.
Part of the problem is the human collective consciousness
itself. Human collective unconscious is full of negativity. We fill
our minds with much negative feedback. We talk about psychosomatic illness. No one talks about psychosomatic wellness. It
121

works on the same principle. Our focus has been on negativity.
We have collectively committed ourselves to this process. We
have not collectively committed to positivity. Once we do that,
not only will we solve our problems, but the problems of the
planet as well. I hope this book will emphasize the fact of how
important it is for us to become positive.
Debt vs Abundance: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Number six is also associated with debt. Debt is an ugly

reality. We created it due to a wrong concept. Debt and abundance are two sides of the same coin. We decided to be on the
wrong side. All that we need to do is just go back to the other
side, the side of abundance.
You are responsible for your own consciousness. You are
responsible for whatever you decide to do. What drives you to
make poor decisions is low self-esteem, an error in consciousness that says that you cant do better. You have to dissolve the
idea that you are going to be in debt, that you are never going
to be self-sufficient. You have to change this consciousness.
How do you do this? By raising your own consciousness. It is
very simple. Poverty is just a negative dream. But we have been
used to it for such a long time. We have inherited poverty genes
from our parents and grandparents. They also have a say in
what we think. It is very important that we learn to grow out of
this consciousness. Once you do that, you have moved to the
other side of the coin. Remember that abundance is also a
game, but a better game, not a miserable one like being in debt.

Whenever possible, you have to avoid starting things on the day

of Mars which is Tuesday. If you have a choice, dont travel on a
Tuesday. Do not be superstitious about this, but just as a surfer
tries to catch the best waves to ride, when possible, ride the
energies that are beneficial for projects and avoid the ones that
have more undertow in them. Prison, court cases, and litigation of all kinds also belong to the number six. You have to take
these things out of your own consciousness. That is how you
keep away from problems.
MANTRA: SARAVANABAVAYA
(PRONOUNCED: SAH RAH VAH NAH BHAH VAH YAH)
Number six is also associated with accidents. Some people

create accidents once every year. Why does it happen? It
happens due to their consciousness being obsessed about accidents. It is also reflected in their astrology chart. The chart will
show an afflicted Mars. These people are prone to accidents.
Number six and the planet Mars are associated with each other.
Lord Muruga is the aspect of the Divine which helps people

to pay off debts. The mantra for invoking his energy and
busting debt is :Sa Ra Va Na Bha Va Ya
Put this sound into your...
Right Eye
Left Eye
Right ear
Left ear
Right nostril
Left nostril
Tip of the tongue
Middle of the tongue
Back of the tongue, tonsils and throat
Third eye.
You might put this on an index card and put somewhere you
see everyday, like by the mirror in the bathroom or on the
refrigerator in the kitchen, etc.
Muruga is usually depicted as having a youthful appearance
and tremendous physical vitality. His mantra helps raise the
vibration of the body by making the body more conscious. You
can chant this mantra into specific body parts to raise their
vibration. In the near future, I will reveal more information
122
123
Misadventures and Accidents

about mantras. Murugas mantra is a good place to start with
toning up health and improving strength.
This mantra prevents mistakes, losses, especially through
overspending. Muruga is the second son of Siva, and in Hindu
mythology it is said he became smart and became a mentor for
his own father. He is always shown with a peacock, which represents creation in all its glory. I encourage you to use this
mantrato get relief from all debts.
Muruga is a warrior, and he brings the energy of strength
and the skill of martial arts. Whenever there is a war that
requires the intervention of the gods, he is the army general for
the heavenly forces. He is usually depicted with a vel, a kind of
lance or spear, in his hand. The lance represents Parvati herself,
the feminine aspect of the Divine, who goes right into battle
with him. So the mantra Sa Ra Va Na Bha Va Ya has a tremendous power for cutting through and defeating the negative,
unhealthy energy of debts.
Clean up any credit card debts with regular payments or
even double payments and then do not overcharge again. The
emphasis in the book is getting your life together in every area
and improving it. We need a lot of good people on this planet
who are strong in every way to support bringing in higher
consciousness onto the planet.
WATER CLEANSING TECHNIQUE
People strongly interested in purifying themselves may wish

to experiment with the ancient practice of taking three showers
per day. This practice dramatically increases the vibration of the
physical body. The showers do not have to be long showers.
Some of them can be quick rinses. Or if you have a pool or live
near a lake or the ocean, a quick dip in the water.
The Siddhas taught that water is a great purifier and does
wonderful things to clean our aura. Always you should shower
or at least wash your face and heads before any meditation
124

session.
CANDLE TECHNIQUE
Another ancient practice for immortality and purification is

to keep five candles burning when you go to sleep. The Siddhas
taught if there is enough light, there wont be any disease. You
must use common sense if you try this. Have smoke alarms and
good ventilation and so forth, and only use candles that have
lead-free wicks and are safe. Some people have found candles
that can burn all night safely, the kind some churches use in
their sanctuaries. If you cannot do five, that is ok. Do what you
can. Even one candle burning at night is purifying. But again,
only do this if you can do it safely. Some people with pets or
children will not be able to do this safely, so do not attempt it.
Watching Your Thoughts
Everyone can work on the practice of becoming more vigilant to think thoughts that do no harm. Use an hourly beeping
watch to check your thought process. If you detect that the
mind is indulging in hatred, change the thought.
Keep consciousness around food and eat foods that do not
harm you. Each persons body is different.
The positive quality to focus on to break up problematic
energies is service to others. If you do service with a pure heart,
it comes back to you multiplied a thousand-fold. Each of you is
capable of doing more than you think to help others, and this
generates positive energy.
Summary of the Tools for Avoiding Mistakes
I have given you a powerful tool in this chapter. Please use

Murugas mantra, Sa Ra Va Na Bha Va Ya, effectively. There are
several things you can do with it, including:
Ift Hold in your awareness an area of the body or health
issue you wish to heal and put the mantra into it.
125

CHAPTER 7: RE LATIONS HIP
Hold in your awareness an area of debt you wish want to

clear and put the mantra into that.
Hold in your mind a person you want to forgive and
again, put the mantra into that situation.
Chapter 7
Relationship
MANTRA: KLEEM SHREEM HREEM
(PRONOUNCED: KLEEM SHREEM HREEM)
latosSymposium discusses why are men and

women are attracted to each other. It is
because in primordial time man and woman
were just one androgynea being consisting
of both a male and female part.
Zeus sliced the being in two, so that whatwas one being became
two. Since that time the separated part isseeking to unite with the
other. This is the reason for the attraction between the two
genders.
Tantra, the Hindu and Buddhist spiritual science of sex,
affirms Platos notion that sexual attraction is a spiritual
phenomenon.
Key Problems in Relationships
So, I might hear from a couple, Yes, yes. We approve of the

sacred nature of sex, but how do you solve the innumerable relationship problems?
I have several answers for your question, but the most
important part is the remedy that I will suggest. First, the
following are some key problems in relationships:
1. You like the guy, but he doesnt like you or vice versa.
2. We like each other, but we constantly fight.
3. I am always the one to make compromises. I am tired of
it
126
127

4. There is no love behavior, but the physical part is good
or vice versa.
5. Fear/economics is the reason why we are together.
6. I dont know why we are together. It is hell.
First Change Yourself
On Valentines Day, 2002, I felt the pain of hundreds of

thousands of people battling with relationship problems. You
want to change your partner/brother/father/boss/co-worker. But
have you had any success? You go to a counselor who says with
revelatory authority that you can change only yourself and not
others. He advises you to change yourself. Yes, its good advice.
You must change yourself.
Relationshp: Some Questions &Answers
There are several questions I am frequently asked about relationships:

Are relationships important for everyone?
The need for relationship varies from person to
person. Generally speaking relationship is karmic. The
gender attraction is the collective karma of life itself. You
see it in the plant kingdom, animal kingdom and among
humans. Human beings dramatize relationship.
How can I attract the right person?
Mr. Right and Ms. Right simply dont exist. Everyone is a
combination of good and bad. You have to find out what you
can live with or put up with. As regards attraction, it is simple.
You can use mantras and chants. Kleem is the mantra for
attracting relationship.
I just broke up with my boyfriend/girlfriend. The pain is
unbearable. Is there a solution?
The pain resulting from loss/separation/divorce/death is
really intense. A certain amount of grieving is indispensable.
Practice the One Minute Meditation. It will give you peace of
128

CHAPTER 7: RE LATIONS HIP
mind and heal your heart.

I am afraid that my spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend is going to leave me.
What can I do?
Get rid of this idea from your mind. Otherwise, you will
manifest it. Nevertheless, if you prepare for separation, that is
fine, too.
How can I get rid of an obsessive relationship?
Every relationship, to a degree, is obsessive. The obsessive
part is due to karma that brings two people together. Once the
karma is done, the obsession is gone. Then you will celebrate
your aloneness as much you do being with another.
Relationship Karma: Compatibility Check
In a matrimonial relationship, you should check with an

astrologer who will compare your natural charts for compatibility. Recently I was looking at a married couple who hated
each other. I found out that Rahu, the snake planet (i.e., the
Moons North Node*), was in the seventh house of
relationships in the girls chart. Accordingly there was constant
bickering and poisonous exchanges between them. There is a
simple remedy for the problem. Go to a Snake temple
dedicated to Rahu and do a ritual for your birth star. This
simple act will help prevent a lot of agony, psychotherapy,
physical illness and a host of otherproblems.
Whatever may be the outward reason for your relationship
problems, metaphysically there is only one reason: Your relationship karma is screwed up. You work out your karma
through your planetsthrough the nature of the house of the
chart, the nature of the planet that rules the house, and the
planet that occupies the houseall cumulatively contribute to a
good/bad relationship. Astrologically speaking, unless you take
care of the planet that causes the problem, you will not have a
lasting solution. You will continue to play games in your relationship. (*NOTE: EASTERN AND WASTERN SYSTEMS OF ASTROLOGY DIFFER

oN THE MEANING oF THE MooNs NoDEs, BUT THIs WoRK REFERs To

Finding a Perfect Relationship
Remember, there is nothing called a perfect relationship.

People growing up in the West have fantasies that they developed during their pre-school and kindergarten times. The idea
of the prince showing up in a chivalrous fashion and marrying
the girl and living happily ever after is ingrained in the
consciousness of many women. The guys have comparatively
fewer fantasies than women do.
The solution to the problem is to find out what you want in
life. How important is that in your life? Can you live
with/without relationship? These are questions that each individual has to answer for himself/herself. There are some general
principles that I want to lay out.
SECTIoN IIPERsoNAL TRANsFoRMATIoN PRoGRAM

C H AP T E R 7 : RE LAT I oN s H I P
insist that you shape up not for the guy/girl, but for yourself. I
have advised a lot of insecure guys who go on buying gifts
because they fear that the girl is going to leave and that is not
right behavior either.
Control doesnt work at anytime. The bottom line is that no
one wants to be controlled, although everyone wants to control
the other person. I am not saying that control is not needed.
Control is an organizing principle that gives stability and security.
Cultural laws are based on control. But then, there is a
natural control and an imposed control. The control mechanism that comes out naturally is based on love. The control that
comes out of social/cultural/legal obligation doesnt hold for
long. Sigmund Freud discussed this issue in his writing,
Civilization and its Discontent (see The Case of Dora and
other essays).
Interpersonal Relationships and Success in Life
No Mr./Ms. Right
I have already explained there is no Mr. Right or Ms. Right.

The whole idea of Mr. Right/Ms. Right is based on the
following issues:
1. Insecurity
2. Control
3. Ego
Insecurity is based on the fear that the partner is going to
leave you at some point. This fear leads to the next stage
control. One has to realize that you cant live your life in
insecurity nor can you control anyone. If you feel insecure deep
down, you are going to manifest it outside: The guy is going to
leave me if I dont lose weight or do a face-lift or re-shape my
nose, skin or rear end.
I am not saying that you shouldnt shape up. But you
shouldnt do it for the guy, because the guy may leave you for a
fat woman with less money and less education than you have. I
130
Vedic astrology is deep into relationship compatibility which

you can check before you get involved. Rahu the snake planet
can do the same thing in the houses. To give you a few examples, in the fourth house, Rahu will challenge the relationship
with the mother; in the 9th house he will create problems with
the father; in the 10th house with the employer. Astrology is not
superstition, and in my opinion, it is Gods gift to humanity to
help us.
You are a social being, and it is terribly, terribly important
that you develop interpersonal relationship skills. If there is one
principle that I want to emphasize for success in your life, or
business life, that is the importance of having very good interpersonal relationships. Relationships are not easy because they
are full of challenges. You dont agree with the other person or
the other person does not agree with you. There are suspicions,
there are jealousies, and there are some things that you always
131

have to keep private. There are so many other issues.
The bottom line in learning to create a good relationship is
that you should not carry on your judgments about the other
person. Every moment is new, and you should be willing to
look at that person in a different way. And even if that person is
a scoundrel, you pretend as if there are no problems between
you. Then you not only pretend but you believe that it is true.
And then you will find that things do change. You cannot
change the other person. You can only change yourself. So, let
the other person do whatever he wants to do. As far as you are
concerned, this is what you are going to do. You are going to be
open, you are going to be friendly, and you are not going to be
judging. Or, even if you judge, that will disappear in the next
moment and then you are open. And then you go on with your
life.
This is an important idea to absorb. Every moment is new.
Every moment can open to a new reality.
Getting to the Root
I want to emphasize that behavioral problems need to be

dealt with not at the symptom level, but at the causal level.
Behavior is the manifestation of a cause, which is invisible.
Here is a possible scenario dealing with a typical relationship
behavioral symptom: You get up in the morning. You want to
make sure that you dont even see your
spouses/fathers/mothers/childrens face(s). You want to avoid
them. But it so happens that you end up seeing them. Before
your mind responds, your bodyand heart respond. You are
irritated and annoyed. You exchange dirty looks, although
outwardly you pretend to beacceptable and kind...
Your body is more authentic than your formal behavior.
Everyone is psychic and knows what the other person thinks.
Always follow your gut feelings. They speak the truth. You may
ask me, What if my gut feelings always say negative things?
132

CHAPTER 7: RELATIONSHIP
There are two answers for this question. Check if you are by
nature negative. Do a self-analysis of your own behavior.
Secondly, the fault may be largely the other persons.
I want to talk about a specific situation. Lets say you got
into a relationship. For a few years, everything was rosy, but
now you completely hate it. However, you dont want to leave
and start another nightmare. You say to yourself, if possible, I
want to change this nightmare into a sweet dream. How do I do
it? You may go into analyzing what caused the change in the
relationship. You may think that if there is a change in the
finances/career/social situations/new people in your life,
something will shift. One or many of these categories may be
contributing to the relationship failure. It is important that you
analyze these factors. But most importantly, look at the planets
that govern your relationship with your mother/
father/siblings/spouse. Working with the planets is more
productive because the planets are at the root of your
symptoms.
Relationship is Karmic
Relationship is irrational. To use religious language, relationship is karmic. You often marry the man or women you have
married at least five times in previous lives. In each lifetime, you
got married and kept the marriage partly or fully. And, again
you do it in another lifetime. Every human being has gone
through millions of lifetimes and several millions of relationships. Since you dont remember past lives, you dont
understand what is happening now. You may have murdered
your wife/husband in a previous lifetime. He/she has to come to
avenge you. He/she may get married to you and give you
constant problems.
Or, you may be involved in an abusive relationship where
you hurt each other on an hourly basis, establishing psychic
routines. Sometimes you cry out: God, I want this to be over.
133

Can you help me? When a person gets to this level, God does
come down to give you guidelines. He says: No relationship is
perfect. Relationship is past memory. Dont take it seriously and
kill yourself. The only true relationship is with God.
Your True Relationship is with God
God will eventually make you understand that you are God.
When you become God, then there will be no animosity, fingerpointing, abuse, hatred or anger. You will be just love. You love
everyone unconditionally and not because both of you scratch
each others back, although that may appear to be kind of nice.
You may reply back to God: God, thats all fine. But do you
have a remedy for my tooth-ache? (meaning your pain in your
current relationship situation). God says: Yes, I do. Use the
mantra KLEEM.
Kleem is a seed syllable for Parvati who is a feminine aspect
of the Divine, a goddess who can assist you with relationships.
Some people say it is selfish to pray for a relationship, but I
say it is important to ASK for what you want. These same
people have no problem to go into a restaurant and tell the
waitress what food they want for dinner that night. If you do
not giveyour request to the waitress she cannot serve you.
My suggestion to you is get a set of Rudraksha mala beads
and chant KLEEM 108 times on a daily basis. It will silently
remedy your relationship problems. (Also, watch month seven
of my Personal Transformation Program video set. It has a very
powerful meditation for relationship problems.)
MANTRA: KLEEM SHREEM HREEM
(PRONOUNCED: KLEEM SHREEM HREEM)
This mantra brings in a host of Divine blessings that are very

potent seed syllables that combine effectively to bless relationships.
I would like you to understand some concepts concerning
the planets in Vedic astrology. In Vedic astrology, the planets are
1
34

CHAPTER 7: RELATIONSHIP
not just celestial objects. Each planet is a celestial being, and the
celestial body is only an outer manifestation of the planetary
being. The planetary being, in turn, is governed by a god. When
remedies are being suggested, several of these factors are taken
into consideration.
Relationship problems are caused, primarily, by two planets:
Mars and Venus.
Mars
Mars is the pre-eminent problem for fights between partners. Mars represents ego and quarrels, which are also ego based:
Who is bigger, me or you? I make more money. You dont
deserve me. I am way, way above you.
Mars also will create delays (because of fears, insecurities,
and so on). You may be dating a guy/girl, but you put off doing
anything serious. At the end of the day, you go home separately.
Not that you dont love each other, but then, there are trust
issues or fear issues or something else. All these problems are
created by Mars. Mars is funny. He can make you extremely
sexual or dry up your desire and juices. Particularly with
women, Mars can play lots of games. He will manipulate their
menstrual cycle and play hardball with their emotions. Mars is
also related to menstrual fluid. He can make a woman mean
and a man a philanderer.
Unless you are a Mars person (dont ask me what that
meansyou may want to talk with a Vedic astrologer!), dont go
on a date on Tuesdaysperhaps, that will be the last date. (But,
remember that may not be so bad!)
A Mars person is more inclined to pull out from a relationship. Even a small disagreement will trigger a serious break up.
It is fair to say that almost sixty percent of breakups, separation,
and divorce are caused by Mars. Its funny that I am writing this
section today (December 2, 2001, time: 2:50 p.m. If you are an
astrologer, you can do a chart for this time and see where Mars
135

CHAPTER 8: OBSTACLES AND LONGEVITY
is).
As I write this, Mars is appearing before me with his planetary god, Muruga, and feels happy. Those of you in conflict
with each other might want to propitiate Mars and his planetary
god, Muruga.
To do this, you light a candle (a small tea-candle is fine) in
front of their pictures and chant their mantras.

Venus
Venus is another planet that is directly related to relationships. Venus particularly creates romance more than sex.
Between Mars and Venus, Mars is associated with sex, and
Venus with romance. Venus energy is very active on Friday. This
is the reason why lots of people go crazy on Friday evenings.
The romantic energy of Venus causes you to blindly fall in love,
without scruples. It is only later that you understand your
mistakes. Most of teenage love is caused by Venus. Venus energy
leads to lots of partying, movies, wine and beer.
Passionate love feeling or passionate separation are caused by
Venus. The planetary goddess for Venus is Lakshmi. You can
propitiate Venus and Lakshmi through the following mantras.
MANTRA: OM SHUKRAYA NAMAHA
(PRONOUNCED: OHM SHUK-RAH-YA NA-MA-HA)

mantra 108 times.
136
ome people live long and some die prematurely.

Some people have repetitive car accidents and
experience losses. It is important to know about
the subtle laws of life principles and anti-life
principles.
Once I visited a student of mine at her house. Her son was
swimming in the pool. Looking at him I thought there was
something seriously wrong with the boy. I asked her to do two
things. One, to get a Nadi reading for him. Two, take him to
the doctor for a physical. The Nadi reading came back and said
that the boy will have some life threatening periods. One would
be at the age of six and another at the age of 18. A few remedies
were suggested. I personally got involved and saved the boys
life. I am not too much interested in the medical part of his life.
So I wont discuss it here.
Apart from mantras, numbers do play a great role in influencing life. I have briefly talked about number four and six and
their positive and negative values. The number eight is tied to
137

life energy.
Here on the East Coast while I am writing this, the weather
is as lousy as can be: freezing rain, bitter cold, piles of snow on
the road. Think about the power of eight!
The number eight represents difficulty in general. It also
obstructs the life process. With the number eight, life itself is in
danger.
Saturn and the Number Eight
In Vedic astrology, Saturn is represented by the number

eight. He both promotes and destroys life. Saturn and eight
could some good for some people. But for most people, the
number eight represents difficulty and obstruction of the life
energy. I recommend you avoid the number eight when
possible. This applies to travel plans as well. When planets travel
through the Eighth House, there are problems. For example,
dont make appointments at 8:00 oclock; make them at 8:05.
If the Eighth House is damaged (or afflicted) in a persons
astrology chart, the life of the person may be short. The Eighth
House will also indicate a persons losses, difficulties and problems. When a planet goes into the Eighth House it becomes
weak.
When a free flow of life energy is obstructed it creates the
following:
1.Depression
2.Diseases
3.Low Income
4.Loneliness
5.Abandonment
All these negative qualities can be diffused by one mantra:
Mrtyunjayaya namaha.
Mrtyunjayaya namaha literally means I bow to the
conqueror of death.
138

CHAPTER 8: OBSTACLES AND LONGEVITY
Obstacles and the Obstructions of Life Energy
What is an obstacle? An obstacle is something that was

hidden initially and shows up later. To illustrate this point: you
start some action, you have some plan, and then following your
plan you start that action. But as you are progressing in action
you find obstacles. These obstacles are unforeseen things that
arose after you started a project.
Why did you not foresee it? Because of the inability of the
human mind to foresee everything. You can, of course, foresee
certain obstacles, but not all of them. The whole of human life
has been spent in trying to discover obstacles which lie in the
future, and then trying to figure out what to do to remove the
obstacles. The whole life or many lives have been spent in trying
to discover obstacles and overcoming them so that the future
generations are able to benefit from it. In other words, the
whole human life revolves around finding obstacles and
removing them, and this is what life is mostly about.
Ganesha, Eldest Son of Siva: Remover of Obstacles
Ganesha, in Hindu mythology, is the eldest son of Siva. He

represents an intelligence far beyond the reach of human intelligence. He is called the Lord of Obstacles or the Master of
Obstacles. The study and understanding of Ganesha gives a
different perspective on the whole concept of obstacles. Being
the Lord of Obstacles, being one who has mastered the
consciousness which gives an understanding about obstacles,
Ganesha knows right at the beginning where the obstacle is. In
fact, Ganeshas intelligence has the ability to foresee all obstacles
whatsoever.
Thats why when you want to start a project, just go to
Ganesha or invoke the energy of Ganesha. His energy tells you
where the obstacles are. It tells both the conscious mind and the
unconscious mind so that you do not waste your time in going
through the obstacles. It is intelligent to avoid obstacles right in
139

the beginning. How does Ganesha do that? Because his intelligence can foresee what is out there in the future. This is the
whole secret of invoking Ganeshas consciousness at the beginning of a project.
Symbols of Ganesha
Ganesha has a certain mythological form; he has an elephant

head and a pot belly. He rides on a mouse, and he has four
hands and a third eye. His form may appear to be amusing to
you by human standards; however, the form has a deep
symbolic meaning which you cannot figure out through human
intelligence. His form has a Divine power to remove obstacles.
Just contemplating Ganeshas form will accomplish this. Some
people may want to put statues or pictures of Ganesha around
their house or in their meditation area. Ganeshas form was
designed exclusively by the Divine to remove obstacles. This
archetypal symbol addresses the unconscious energy in your
being and works at a very deep level.
There is a beautiful book, Loving Ganesha, by Satguru Sivaya
Subramaniyaswami for children and the young at heart. For
those curious to learn more about the mythology of Ganesha,
there is another book, The Broken Tusk by Uma Krishnaswami.
Gum is the seed syllable that vibrates with the energy of
Ganesha. As you begin to have this sound in your consciousness, the unconscious mind recognizes the sound that is the
intelligence of Ganesha. That is how you access the understanding of removing obstacles and finding shortcuts.
Ganesha is the god who removes obstacles, so to recite his
mantra will invoke this obstacle-removing aspect of the Divine in
a powerfulway. Many people like to use this mantra for a bit at
the beginning of a meditation session or at the beginning of a
project. This recitation is for removing obstacles (physical,
emotional,mental, financial, spiritual).
140

CHAPTER 9: COMPASSION AND GRACE
MANTRA: OM GUM GANESHAYA NAMAHA

( PRON OUN CE D : OHM G UM G UH -N UH-E S-SHI-Y A)
(Please refer to the earlier meditation techniques.) While

chanting Ganeshas mantra, specifically ask him to remove
obstacles. Meditation on the actual form of a deity is very
important. When you focus on the form of a deity, you imbibe
the powers of the deity. Look at a picture or statue of Ganesha
or visualize his form in your own mind. This has a tremendous
amount of power.
Meditate on Ganeshas form with a feeling of reverence while
repeating the mantra.
How to Talk with God
We live in a world where science alone is the truth. We

have lost touch with nature and with God, so it has become
very difficult for human consciousness in this age to access the
energy of God as easily as our forefathers did. This is a sad state
of affairsthat we have lost our emotional self, our self of faith.
Ganeshas picture or statue can bring him right hereit is not
superstition. It is tremendously powerful.
Yogananda has a small, but delightful book which you can
buy very inexpensively. The title of the book is, How to Talk
With God. This book begins with the affirmation by Yogananda
that talking with God is a definite fact. He goes on to say that
God is not just abstract; He has a form as well. The Bible says,
God created man in his own image. Therefore, if God had a
form, it was like a human form. So for successful meditations, it
is important to visualize a form.

Chapter 9
Compassion and Grace
MANTRA: ARUL KARUNAI DAYA

Intelligence as opposed to human rationalistic intelligence

which is called marul. Marul includes our science and technology as well, since they follow human laws which are time
bound. Truly, Arul itself is a mantra that defies any discursive
reasoning used to define it. If you look at the terms Arul and
Marul, there are significant resemblances and differences
meaningful only for yogis. Personally, I suggest you use the term
Arul instead of Grace because the moment you say Arul,
you invite in the mercy and intelligence of God.
Light Up the Mind
GOD means a Divine being who is luminous in complexion

with no materiality except a form visible only to certain human
beings with ESP. He* is omniscient with knowledge of everything: past, future, and present. He is omnipresent in the sense
that he is present everywhere in time and space in the past,
present and future. He is omnipotent in the sense that he is
capable of performing anything and everything including the
impossible. [*Note: The Godhead can be thought of as both male
and female.]
Now I want to define the term light. What is light? Is it

brightness? Is it high electricity? Is it simply a visual quality?
The concept of light is very complex. I think of two ways of
explaining light. Yes, it is brightness and electricity. You have
heard that in many religions God is light.
However, the Light of God excels that of the sun or any
other star. His brightness is equivalent to trillions of stars. It is
blinding to the naked eye. This light of God carries the Divine
Intelligence called Arul. It moves at a tremendous speed.
When we align ourselves with the light of God we get things
done in the speed of light. Light depending on its intensity has
lesser or more intelligence. More light means more intelligence.
No light means no intelligence and no knowledge. No light is
darkness.
Darkness puts out the fire of knowledge. That is why in a
dark room, you cannot see. And seeing is knowing. You to
understand that light is consciousness, both inside the mind and
outside in space. During enlightenment, you do experience the
light of God very directly.
A Defining Grace
What is a Miracle?
GRACE is the quality of God. Grace doesnt mean mercy

simply. It is mercy combined with intelligence of the supreme
kind. In Tamil there is a word for it which is almost impossible
to translate into English. That term is Arul. Arul means Divine
Let me now define miracle. Miracle is an extraordinary

happening that baffles our understanding. Somebody is cured of
AIDS/cancer or someone receives huge wealth out of the blue.
(PRONOUNCED: A-RUHL KAR-U-NAYEE DAH-YA)
od, Grace, Light and Miracle are synonyns.

You can accomplish all that you need to
accomplish if you take a leap of faith. To help
you understand these concepts more deeply, I
am going to give you a working definition for each concept.
What is God?
142
143

These are some examples of a miracle. Miracle is one of the
qualities of God. Remember what Jesus said: ...with my Father
everything is possible. If you need miracles in your life, it is
then necessary that you should be in Gods energy all the time.
CHANT: ARUT PERUM JYOTI, TANIPERUM KARUNAI
(PRONOUNCED: AR-RUT PEY-RUM JO-TEE, TANI PEYRUM KAR-U-NAYEE)
Now I am going to give you a technique that wraps up all

the concepts discussed above. This builds on the mantra given
in Chapter 5. It is a chant that I received from Lord Siva in
meditation during my last incarnation as Swami Ramalingam.
The chant is:
Arut perum Jyoti , Arut perum Jyoti
Tani perum Karuni Arut perum Jyoti
Arut (Divine Intillegence, Grace)
Perum Jyoti (vast light)
Tani (exclusive)
Perum Karunai (vast kindness)
The chant literally means Arul, which is the mercy of God,
in the form of vast light. This light is the expression of the vast
kindness of God. Keep chanting the words. You may want to
contemplate the word meaning to satisfy your intellect. What is
the benefit of bringing in this energy?
You will have Divine Intelligence to know everything.
You will function at the speed of light.
Miracles will be an everyday happening in your life.
MANTRA: DAYA (PRONOUNCED: DAH-YA)
Another mantra to open up compassion is Daya. This

mantra awakens grace. It invokes the mercy and compassion
aspects of grace. This mantra will awaken your third eye.
Daya means compassion, particularly the compassion of the
Mother. This is unconditional supreme love. Pray to the Mother
and seek the Mothers blessings. Forget if you had a terrible

mother, forget all about that. Say, Mom, tell me that you bless
me. If your mother is dead, pray to her. This will give you
protection.
Allow the sound Daya to get into your third eye.
Allow yourself a Miracle
The Divine appears in dreams. We need miracles. It is stupid

to disbelieve in miracles. We have to allow them. Skepticism is
negative. If we dont experience miracles it is because we dont
let them happen. Let miracles happen. How? By believing. By
trusting in the realm of the Divine. The realm of humans is
hard work. Put everything in the hands of God. Pray, have
compassion. Then everything will be there.
Dont judge things. The moment you judge things, the good
disappears. Remove judgment from your consciousness.
If your hands are full, God can give you nothing. You have
to be totally empty. Every day, ASK for grace.
DISMEMBERMENT MEDITATION
This is an ancient technique that gives us access to the

condition of being when we had no body. We can then gain the
knowledge as to our past life merits and demerits.
With eyes closed, imagine that you dismember yourself...
just as you would dismember a toy, taking off the
arms... the legs... the head... the torso.
Now all parts of the body are lying in front of you; you are
just consciousness, you stay outside the body.
The bodily parts are lying in front of you...
Now ask the question, Who am I?
Consider asking the question:
What are the dramas I have played in my previous lifetimes?
What are the dramas I am playing in this lifetime?
Now ask yourself, What part of past life events have
145
44

continued in this lifetime?
Say to yourself, I do not want anything unpleasant. I want
to remove all of them right now in this moment.
Now come back into your body.
Within your mind, say this affirmation:
Father, Father, Father...
Help me to accomplish my goals.
Father, Father, lead me...
Father, Father, dissolve my ego and lead me...

ift
Constantly check how much ego consciousness you

have and how much Divine grace you are living.
You may want to do the dismemberment meditation for

each of these four areas: Job, Relationship, Finances, Health.
Become aware of what previous karma you are working out
in each of these four areas. Then pick one specific karma you
want to dissolve in each area.
TECHNIQUES
Now seek the help of the Divine. On four separate

pieces of paper, write down the specific area you want
Divine grace to help you with (Job, Relationship,
Finances, Health).
ift Light a candle. Place each paper and make a request to
God before the candle, one at a time.
ift Chant these two mantras for grace: Arut Perum Jyoti and
Daya.
ift Make a prayer.
ift Focus on the Third Eye and say:
Let there be grace; Let me be surrounded by grace light;
Let Arul and Daya surround me.
ift Keep the concept of grace in your awareness. The ego
shoots up and keeps you in an ugly reality. Expect
Infinite Intelligence to be dawn to you and lead you to a
greater reality.

(PRONOUNCED: SAHDA SHE-VOHM)
MANTRA: OM KALA SAMHARA MURTNE NAMAHA
(PRONOUNCED: OHM KAHLA SAM-HARA
MERT-NE NA-MA-HA)
he tenth house in Vedic astrology denotes

profession, business, job, status. In fact, in
Sanskrit what you dowhether it is a business
or a jobis called karma. Karma literally
means action. What you do is karma because karma is
performing an action. You are doing exactly what you wanted to
do. If you are a cardiologist, thats what you wanted to be. If
you are a carpenter, thats what you wanted to be. If you are a
sailor, thats what you wanted to be. If you are not doing
anything, that means thats what you wanted to do. You wanted
to do nothing. Realize that what you do for a living is karmically determined. Most people will have a job while very few
people become independent entrepreneurs. This chapter
addresses these questions:
: What can we do to remove bad karma that has led to a
badjob/profession/business?
Fish Where The Fish Are

Im going to talk about your karmayour action. You are
doing exactly what you wanted to do. Heres a graphic example.
During one summer, I was in India staying in a beach hotel,
doing various mystical practices. The hotel was alongside an
isolated beach. I had wanted to be alone and to walk on the
beach for a long distance and not be bothered by others. So this
beach hotel was perfect for me.
I stayed at this secluded hotel for a long while, taking
numerous walks along the beach, morning and evening, and
sometimes also at midnight. While I was walking, I became
friends with a man who lived in a nearby village. He was about
60 year old and belonged to the fishing community. He would
come and attempt to fish there, throwing his hook into the
ocean while standing on the shore.
Through talking to him, I found out more about this man.
Believe it or not, he hadnt caught even a single fish in the past
six months. Nevertheless, he came every daymorning and
eveningand spent about eight hours trying to catch a fish,
and each day he went home with nothing. For six months, he
had no success fishing at this spot. But still, he returned each
day and threw his net at the same spot. This is what I call heavy
duty fishing karma!
He was unconscious, not really looking at what he was
doing. Each day he showed up and tried to fish, knowing that it
was very unlikely he would catch a fish there. I inquired about
who took care of him. He said his wife; his wife was smart. She
was also into fishing, but she fished at a place where there were
fish. She sold them and also brought some fish home for dinner.
This man performed the same thing over and over again
without any success. If I go back to India, I will probably still
149
148

find him doing the same thing...
Why couldnt he change his job? What kept him from
moving to another place and doing something else? He wouldnt
change. Why? Because of karma. For this lifetime, he decided
that he would be a fisherman, and he would do fishing whether
it was lucrative or not. I know one day he will die. He will come
back again and perhaps fish again until his fishing karma is
done.
The lesson here is it is very important: fish where the fish
are, and if the fish have moved on, so should you!
Are You Conscious of What You Do?
I have seen people coming into the earth-plane doing the

same thing birth after birth. Unless you become conscious, you
cannot break away from your karma. Do you want to break
away from your karma? This is the first question you need to
ask. And this is a question that everyone should consider. Am I
in the right job? Karma forced you to become an attorney.
Karma forced you to become a professor. Karma forced you to
become a businessman. Karma forced you to become a
programmer. Ask yourself these questions: Are you happy doing
this thing? Are you making enough money? Is it worthwhile to
continue this? This is a very, very important thing for everyone
to ask. The moment you ask this question, you will begin to
generate certain impulses within your karmic consciousness.
Normally people dont ask this question. They are like the fisherman who goes on fishing at the wrong spot and doesnt
evaluate his action. Now, once you ask this question, you may
find yourself likely to answer. Well, you say to yourself, I
have been doing this job because this is where my training is. I
know that there is not enough money for me to pursue this
because I work long hours and get paid very little money. I am
not happy. But what can I do? I have no training in other
areas. At least if you begin to ask this question it opens a way
150

CHAPTER 1 0: PROFESSION
to lead you to something else. So I am happy when people

honestly consider these questions.
Pull Misconceptions About Money Out of Your Mind
I want to remove certain misconceptions about making

money. There is a general perception that you should have a
higher education or vocational training in order to make money.
This is what the consensus has been in our civilization.
I say you dont need a PhD, an MBA, or an engineering
degree to make a lot of money. All you need is to identify an
area which has the potential of generating money. There are
many millionaires who are high school dropouts or college
dropouts. In order to do business, you dont really need a
higher education. So, this is the first misconception that you
have to pull out of your mind.
To me, creating a job or creating money is a karmic
happening. Thats fine, because this is the plane of karma. If you
dont act, you become atrophied, you cant move. I have seen
some Himalayan yogis who did not move their bodily parts,
and they became atrophied. I do not recommend this at all!
The same thing happens if you dont act, you become an
invalid. So, you have to act. But make it intelligent action.
Dont be like the fisherman who fished where there were no fish!
He was under the charm of karma. The charm of karma is a
very, very strong, magical illusion. This illusion seems very real
to you, and it is very difficult for people to get out of that. I
focus on these things in the tenth chapter because the tenth
house denotes your karma, your job, your profession, your business.
MANTRA: SADA SHIVOM
(PRONOUNCED: SAHDA SHE-VOHM)
The sound, Sada Shivom, can help with tenth house matters.
Put this sound into all your sense organs:
one minute in the right eye
151

one minute in the left eye
the right ear
the left ear
the right nostril
left nostril
the tip of the tongue
the middle of the tongue
then the tonsils.
Then come to the Third Eye, which is your pituitary.
These sounds will help harmonize you with the right profession.
Two Aspects of Karma
Now, I want to talk about two areas or aspects of karma.

One is the karma that is associated with time and secondly,
karma associated with space. They are together. Nowdays, even
physicists say that space and time unfold together. I want you to
get some deeper insight into this.
Time Karma
Lets first talk about time and karma. Say that, karmically,
you have been involved in a job for ten years and that during
that time you were very focused on what you are doing. Lets
suppose that on the eleventh year you suddenly say to yourself,
Oh my GodI have been so stupid; I spent ten years doing
these stupid things. And, subsequently, on the eleventh year
you might end up doing something which would bring you
more money. In the eleventh year, perhaps you would make in
one deal all the money you made in the past ten years. It is a
matter of intelligence.
And why did you realize it at the eleventh year and not
during the ten years that passed by? It is because of karma. You
never sat down and analyzed it. Thats why I recommend that
people should contemplate and think about what they are
152

doing. Because the moment you begin to contemplate what you

are doing, then you will challenge that karma. But if you just
continue unconsciously with that of karma, it is going to be
there for ten years. So its important for you to ask this question,
Am I going to be doing this for another ten years of my life?
Time and Money
Here were going to talk about the concept of time and

money. We all know that time and money are related. Time is
money, and money is time. It is very important that we put this
concept very deep in our consciousness. People who have
mastered material wealth had one thing in their mind: their
concept of time. They wanted to make their goals within a
certain time frame, for instance, a daily goal, weekly goals,
monthly goals. And once you have a weekly goal, say, I want to
make $2,000 a week, you will start looking at possibilities to
make that money. You may want to ask yourself, What can I
do to make this $2,000?
I urge everyone to keep a calendar. Write out weekly goals.
There are usually four weeks in a month. Meditate on how to
make the most of your time.
What options do I have? What can I do? Even asking these
questions are worthwhile. The Divine is going to help you. The
Higher Self is listening to you. It is going to pop ideas into your
mind. Hey, this is not good. Go here, go there. You will have
guidance from the inside.
(PRONOUNCED: OM KAH-LA SAM-HAR-A MERT-NE
NAH-MA-HA)
This is the mantra that will remove time karma. These

sounds will destroy bad time, slow time. Recite this mantra over
and over, as much as possible.
Om Kala Samhara Murtne Namaha
153

I pray to the God of Time, to give me understanding about
time.
Chant with sincerity and deep emotion. You are asking the
Divine to condense time for you, to accelerate time for you.
In the Greek tradition the god of time is called Kronos. In
Sanskrit, the god of time is called Kala. The English words
chronology and calendar seem to be drawn from these words.
Destroying Karma, Creating Karma
In addition to working with this sound, become conscious

of how you spend your time. Relate your concept of time to
money. Thats very important. When you do these things
together (the meditation, and then consciousness focused on
weekly goals) you will find miracles happening in your life. But
then, you should not get distracted, you have to really be
focused on it.
Since you are dealing with karma, you may want to listen to
the Karma-Busting CD which has the chant Thiru Neela
Kantam as often as you can. Thiru Neela Kantam produces
sounds that diffuse your karma. The Tamil Siddhas call it the
karma-busting mantra. You can also use Ara Kara, because
Ara Kara is new karma. The Ara Kara sound was discovered by
the enlightened sage Thirumular and is presented in his work,
Tirumantivam as a tool for manifesting your desires. Be grateful
to him for sharing this wisdom which he received through his
own meditations. Your gratitude for each mantra or tool creates
an inner connection between you and the world of enlightened
beings who have received and passed on these deep wisdoms.
This inner connection can greatly assist you. Always be grateful
for receiving spiritual knowledge.
So to repeat:
v Thiru Neela Kantam destroys karma that you want to get
rid of;
Ara Kara creates the karma that you want to manifest and

removes the idea that anything is impossible.

Many people have found tremendous things happening in
their lives with these two chants.
I am so happy to make these sounds available to you as they
are so powerful.
Space Karma
Now, I will talk a little bit about spaceor placekarma. I

travel a lot and use limousines to travel from my home to the
airport. Most of the drivers who work for this company know
me; I have met at least 30 or 40 of their drivers. Its a fairly large
company. Often in my conversation I will ask my driver a question (a question I ask other people as well): I inquire whether he
was born and raised in Pittsburgh. Most of them say yes. And
they dont want to move out of Pittsburgh. This is true of
people living in New York or Florida.
Everyone has space karma. They hang on to a place and die
in the same place. If you change your space karma, there will be
tremendous happenings in your life.
I can give my own example. I lived in Pittsburgh for a long
time. Until I moved out of Pittsburgh, nothing really happened,
as far as getting my teaching to the world. Its only when I
started giving lectures in New York and the West Coast that I
began to have people coming to me.
Now I come to Pittsburgh only occasionally. Im everywhere,
all over the world. And when I move from country to country, I
feel the karmathe space karmabeing challenged. What does
this have to do with you? If you have lived in a particular city
for a long time and if youve not had any success, then you
might want to move. Make a decision. Its not going to be easy
because karma is very powerful and wont easily permit you to
move.
If you move to another city or another country, you will
create totally new karmic impulses. This is very, very important.
54
155

You will come into contact with different forces.
Put this mantra in your:

eyes, ears, nostrils and other sense organs.
You will create new time. We all need new time. We dont
want to live in old time. Old time is karmic time.
As regards space karma, I just want to add one more thing.
In many spiritual traditions, people go on pilgrimages.
Pilgrimages are trips to sites with a great amount of power.
Thats why I take people to India to certain power spots. Once
they go to the power spots, their karma that is so frozen
suddenly begins to become liquid. When it is liquid, you can
then your change karma.
Focus on Your Destiny by Going Inside
One day I was reading the Koran and Muhammad was

praying to Allah. The prayer is as follows:
Allah! You are light! Turn every cell in my body into light, my
blood, my nerves, my eyes, my ears. Turn them into light! Turn the
environment into light!
This is the true teaching of Muhammad.
When you are quiet, focus on your destiny. You have a
destiny and that destiny was decided a long time ago. It is
going to unfold day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute
into material reality. You can close your eyes whenever you are
aloneand meditate on, Whats my destiny? When you do so,
you will alter your destiny because you are going inside, and the
very act of going inside will create new impulses. Then you
will begin to ask: Why I am doing it? What am I doing? What
else can I do? It is important to see how the inner and the
outerselves are connected.
The outer is dependent on the inner. Just ask yourself, How
can I improve things? This contemplation itself is a meditation.
What happens is that when you put something out to the
156

universe, it can take a lifetime for the manifestation to occur.

Things are very slow and dense. They move very slowly. It took
300 years after the death of Christ for Christianity to take root
and become a major force. The same thing happened with the
teachings of Buddha. It took 400 years. But we have learned to
use time in a different way. Time for Jesus, time for Buddha was
very slow time because there was less knowledge of material
science.
Science and Time
One thing that science has given us is a knowledge of how to

better handle time: we want everything fast! Jesus had to walk,
so did the Buddha. Now we have airplanes, trains, cars... We
have microwaves that cook faster than conventional ovens or
firewood. We know how to do things fast, but we should know
how to do things even faster.
MEDITATION: OM KALA SAMHARA MURTNE NAMAHA
(PRONOUNCED: OHM KAHLA SAM -HARA MERT-NE
NA-MA-HA)
Pray to Lord Siva (Infinite Intelligence) to kill time:

Om Kala Samhara Murtne Namaha
Close your eyes:
Om Kala Samhara Murtne Namaha!
Kala means time
Samhara means destruction
Murti is the aspect of the Divine that destroys time. I bow to
Him.
Kala Samhara Murtne Namaha
Pray to God to allow you to experience the death of time,
Make me timeless. Give the experience of timelessness.
Kala Samhara Murtne Namaha!
157

Kala Samhara Murtne Namaha!
Time is destroyed within me!!!
Behind this mantra is a story.
God Time or the Death of Time
Why does Siva want to kill time? The reason is because time
slows everything down. We want to be timeless. In the Hindu
mythology, there is a different association of time with different
gods. What we humans experience as one year is just one day
for the angels. One year of work that we do can be done by
angels in one day. The gods are better processors of time. One
year is one hour. So if someone is getting paid $100,000 per
year, if you are a God, you will get paid that much per hour.
Vishnu does better than Brahma: one year for Vishnu is 15
minutes; for Brahma, 30 minutes. For Siva, one year is 1
millionth of a second. He moves very fast. For Him, everything
about the world is a joke and He wants to help you out of this
world. This mantra brings in the very fastest energy.
CHAPTER
Non-movement is timelessness. Movement is time! This

mantra profoundly accelerates and dissolves the influence of
time.
Kala Samhara Murtne Swaha!!
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti!
Peace, Peace, Peace!
Meditate on these sounds and pray:

Kala Samhara Murti:
I want to live your time, not my time!
Then He will give the ability to experience His time.
Time and the Planets
It is the planets that create time through their revolutions. It

is important to understand the relationship between planetary
movement and time. We have a solar calendar, a lunar calendar,
and even the names for the days of the weeks have their origin
in the names of planets (i.e, Saturday is Saturns Day, Sunday is
Suns Day, and so on.) These energies and their influences can
all be stopped through the Grace of the Divine. The power of
these sounds puts a hold on them just for your sake so that you
can experience non-movement.

CHAPTER 11: PROFIT
Two Pros, Profit and Profession
Chapter 11
Profit
MANTRA: SWARNA RAJADAs SRAJAM
(PRONOUNCED: SWAR-NA RAH-JA-DAs SRAJAM)
t doesnt matter whether youre just doing a job or

running a business. It is important that you earn a
profit. How do we enhance our profit-making
consciousness? I want you to learn moral and ethical
laws of profit-making. Profit is a very elusive thing to the
normal human mind. Many people are deluded; they simply do
not allow themselves to focus on profit. One attitude is, The
existing condition is so miserable, who worries about
profit...if I can just pay my bills. Thats fine. Another attitude is,
Well, I dont even want to look at my finances. Let me be
totally unconscious about it because it is too depressing to look
at.
Profitable Outlook
So, I want to change the unprofitable attitudes towards

profit. I would like you to be profit-conscious all the time. And
the first prerequisite is having a positive attitude toward profit.
You have to take a really hard look at what you are doing and
ask yourself if it is worthwhile continuing to do it. What that
means is you have to do the math all the time; you have to find
out what the profit is going to be. If you are not doing this now,
thats fine; just promise yourself that you will do this down the
road. You must have a very clear vision of it, otherwise, nothing
positive will happen.
160
I want to make a distinction here between profit and profession. The tenth chapter of this book focused on profession or
career. This chapter is about profit. It is very important to
make a distinction between the tenth house and the eleventh
house, because sometimes you may do something for business
or job that may not be the source of profit. Profit can come
through many ways, which may not be directly related to your
job orbusiness. It could be an investment in which you are
not directly involved, a windfall or inheritance. Profit is not
necessarily directly related to what you are doing in your
career. It may be something that you do with others in which
the other person plays a primary role and you play a lesser role.
You can have several of these kinds of investments. For
profit, youshould be open to different areas, not just focused on
one thing.
Branch Out into the Light
You should not be tied down to doing just one thing.

Branch out and look for opportunities, but allocate your time or
have a time plan. There is so much time available for this and
so much time for that. Most of the time your karma will not
let you go into other areas. If you have karma to be a dentist,
then you will think, I am a dentist, I am a dentist. If you
want to become a movie producer or a stockbroker, then you
have to give up the dentist identity. That is very important.
There is asaying in Tamil: The money that you make by selling
dogs willnot bark. Do you understand? You can sell dogs and
make money, but that money is not going to bark, because it
came out of selling puppies (a beginning stage, not yet
manifesting full-grown potentials). So you have to break the
old identification pattern. At any point in time you should be
willing tochange careers or businesses.
To successfully turn a profit, you have to get rid of
victim/loser consciousness, laziness, or negative forces. The
161

mantra Im giving you in this area will help you to become alert.
When you are not alert, what happens is that you simply pass
the time without analyzing it. Thoughts become lethargic. For
example, Well, at least Im paying my bills now, or
Somehow, Im getting by. This is a attitude common among
many people. To have the right attitude toward profit, this kind
of thinking must be changed. We have to develop a very strong
material consciousness. A very strong material consciousness is
related to profit consciousness. So profit consciousness is
gaining more material consciousness, material insight, material
light.
Once, I was reading some of Einsteins original papers where
he was defining matter. What is matter? He says that matter is
light energy stopped. When you stop light energy, it becomes
matter. If you arrest the flow of energy, it turns into matter. And
if it doesnt become matter, it just flows away. So we need
matter, although matter is a very stuck condition, we still need
matter because we are material beings. We can change light into
matterand matter into light. Put another way,
profit=matter in Einsteins famous energy equation: Light
(energy)=matter(profit) x (speed of light ) squared.

CHAPTER 11: PROFIT
tions that make big bucks and he put that awareness into his
head. So what you present to your logical mind also helps to
change your thinking. Consciously, you have to do something
about it, too, placing more focus on profit awareness.
Constantly evaluate whether or not what you are doing is the
right thing to do.
Asking the Right Questions
I met a man in Canada, who told me that he brings $100

million dollars to his company and the company gives him
$100,000. He started asking himself these questions, Why
dont I do something to get the $100 million for myself, rather
than making this $100 million dollars for someone else? After
all, I bring this money from my division, my intelligence, my
contacts. So, its important to engage in practical thinking
about profit in addition to working with the sounds. Vedic
Astrology can also be very helpful in discovering your most
profitable areas. You can do this by having an Eleventh House
reading done.
MANTRA: SWARNA RAJADAs SRAJAM
(PRONOUNCED: SWAR-NA RAH-JA-DAs SR-JAM)
Each soul has its own qualities. It is a kind of programming.

Some souls come here with profit-orientation, but only some.
Most come with an orientation to lose. Thats why there are so
many losers everywhere. I want you to delete loser consciousness
and to install profit consciousness.
So use this mantra wisely. This is for the unconscious layer
of your mind. For the conscious levels, engage your logical
mind in profit thinking.
I read something once about Bill Gates. Even when he was a
highschool boy, he had a passion for reading Fortune magazine.
He read this all the time. Fortune magazine deals with corpora-
In Sanskrit, Swarna Rajadas Srajam means, garlands of gold

and silver. The Goddess Lakshmi is visualized as wearing
garlands of gold and silver. This mantra comes from a longer
chant for Lakshmi in the ancient sacred scriptures called Vedas,
but for now I want you to understand that Swarna Rajadas
Srajam is a mantra specifically for profit. In Hindu mythology,
Kubera, the God who is the banker in heaven, used this mantra
to get his position!
Archetypically, Swarna Rajadas Srajam has lots of other
meanings. The bottom line is that these sounds will give you a
desire to acquire gold which is an indicator of wealth. (Not
dollars or pounds or euros, but gold, the precious metal.) Again,
picture the images for Lakshmi that were introduced earlier in

with elephants on both sides, the moon, the money tree, the
horse...
Chapter 12
Expense and Enlightenment
MANTRA: GAYATRI
(PRONOUNCED: GUY-YA-TRI )
e are at the last leg of a 12-step

program to change your life. In some
sense, this chapter is odd. It puts
together two totally unrelated areas:
expense and enlightenment. But the astrological scheme that I
have followed throughout the book accommodates these two
themes.
Expense is Thoughtlessness
First, lets look at expenses. Most of the time we overspend

or spend unnecessarily because we have not thought things
through. To me, thoughtlessness and expense go together. Im
not saying that expenses cant happen unexpectedly. They do
happen. But you can control your expenses if you become more
aware, if you anticipate. But unfortunately, we do not have
enough consciousness. And when we dont have enough
consciousness, we just let things go on in an erratic way, and
when things go in an erratic way, they often end up in unnecessary expenses. So, the way to control your expenses is to become
more conscious about cash flow.
Necessary vs Unnecessary Expense
Of course, you should spend for good causes because whatever you spend for good causes comes back to you. I am talking
164
165

about unnecessary expenses. Consider those things which
constitute expenses at two levels: unnecessary and necessary.
Necessary expenses pertain to your education, health, housing,
travel, your vacation, and your comfort.
It is the unnecessary expenses you must learn to avoid.
Again, as in earlier chapters, we will learn sound vibrations
which will spontaneously help you to make some decisions
which will cut down on unnecessary expenses while promoting
legitimate expenses that are going to be helpful to you. We will
do that when we come to the meditation at the end.
Spiritual Life Begins at 50
Now, I want to talk about your spiritual life. In India they

have a life model: Everyone has to go through certain stages in
life. When you are young, you go to school and get a degree.
And after that, you get married, get a job and then you spend
all your time trying to make money; not only make money, but
save money. And then at fifty or fifty-five, you must retire
because you shouldnt be working forever. I would encourage
people to retire when they are fifty or fifty-five at the most. And
what you do after that? In India, they call it Vanaprasta. It
means going into a jungle. You leave the world. You do not
want to experience the marketplace anymore. You just want to
focus your attention on consciousness. Your spiritual life
becomes very important at that point in time. This is a very
good model because by that time you no longer have the energy
you had when you were young. So, you conserve energy and
useit to reflect on, what is life?
The important thing about spirituality is that it gives you
awareness or puts you in touch with who you are. Who you are
is not what you have been doing on this earth-plane, who you
are related to, and so on. Who you really are is the Being whose
task it is to understand the infinite levels of awareness, of
consciousness.
166

CHAPTER 12: EXPENSE AND ENLIGHTENMENT
You have to see what the ego structure is and how thoughts
come to your mind, and how what you seethe appearance of
thingsare only illusions that come through a limited awareness. We block much of our total potential awareness in order
to have an ego experience. All that we process is just a linear ego
experience. We disallow any other experience to come through
us. Even scientists agree that we only use five to ten percent of
our mental potential. So, what happens to the rest of the brain?
This information is blocked by the mind. Now, it is very important at this point in time that our responsibility to the world is
over so we have more time to reflect on, What is the nature of
life? How are we going to deal with our own consciousness?
This is very, very important because it is going to give us an
insight into what we are going to be doing in the future,
whether we want to come back to this earth-plane or end reincarnation and the cycle of birth and death.
Is there Lasting Happiness?
One thing that I must tell you is that nothing of this earthplane is going to give you lasting happiness. Money is a
motivating factor for many of you as long as you dont have
money. However, once you have money, then you will find that
it has its own limitations. There are other things that you still
need to deal with, like an aging body, aches, pains, diseases and
so forth. But, still, we love this painful body. And we have not
yet considered a way of mastering our limitationsat the level
of the mind and at the level of the body.
A man came to me and said, Dr Pillai, I will come back to
you when I am say, seventy, and have stopped working. He was
then sixty-five. And I told him, You are already sixty-five, and
you want to work for five more years, even though there is no
need for you to work anymore because you already have all the
money in the world. But he thinks that he should come to me
only when he can no longer make any more money. Thats the
167

time that he thinks he can spend time on God or self-analysis.
True Bliss
True bliss comes when the mind dies. True bliss comes when
the breath goes into the susumna, the central nadi or energy
channel, which is invisible. We dont usually access it because we
spend most of our time blah blah-ing. Either we blah blah to
ourselves or to another person. It is important for everyone to
shut up and meditate for a while everyday.
During this millenium, our spiritual nature is going to be
revived. We are going to understand more about spiritual laws.
This is realling going to give us a new life. Now let us go to the
mantras that can open your spiritual awareness.
The sounds that youll be learning later on during the
Meditation portion will deliver you from bondagethe
bondage of the human mind and body. It will also help you cut
down on expenses caused by lack of consciousness or awareness.
Sun and Seeds of life

Saint Thirimular, who gave us the Ara Kara meditation,

talked about the sun at length. He said the sun needs to be
understood at different levels. In the galaxy, there is the central
sun known as the macrocosmic sun. Then there is the local sun
that reflects the soul, and at an eternal level, the mind.
MANTRA: GAYATRI
(PRONOUNCED: GUY-YA-TRI)
Now I am going to teach you a prayer to the Sun, who is the

life giver. Remember that the Sun is not only just a star, but a
Being whom ancient people called the Sun God.
The purpose of this chant is to enhance the potency of the
life principles, including ones body, mind and soul. Visualize
the suns rays streaming forth into your body, mind and soul.
This is an ancient Sanskrit chant. It is called the Gayatri
mantra, the prayer to the sun. I am happy to give this to you.
(Pronounciation follows the chant.)
I want you to learn how you can strengthen the life energy
within you. Technically speaking, what promotes life is the
energy of the sun. Without the sun, there would be no life on
the earth-plane. The rays from the sun not only support life,
but the rays of the sun are indeed seeds of life itself.
The sun represents the reflection of the soul. Obstruction of
the suns energy on any level creates unhappiness. You may have
heard about winter depression. Some people get depressed in
the winter because of the non-availability of positive rays, which
are joys of nature from the sun. These people are normally asked
to expose themselves to bright light in order to treat their
depression. Even ordinary people dont feel happy during
wintertime when there is less sunlight. So, bright light is used to
treat winter depression. In the spring when you see the sun and
the sunlight is available more frequently, you feel so much
happiness!

SECTION IIPERSONALTRANSFORMATIONPROGRAM
Travel to different foreign countries can alter your fortune. It is

important that you breathe different life energies from different
lands.
Negative Enlightenment and Ignorant Gurus
The following section is for those on a spiritual path. It gives

you some checks and balances to help you on your way.
Everything is changing constantly. We call this evolution.
Evolution is brought about by time. Time, as it progresses,
reveals many hidden secrets about knowledge and the material
universe. What was once unknown is known now. What is
unknown now will be known someday in the future. The
bottom line is that everything is changing every moment. But,
there are institutions that have resisted change: Our religious
institutions and our fanatical attachments to particular faiths.
We say God is beyond reason and logic. It is a matter of the
heart and inner knowingness. I totally agree with this. But I
want to warn those on a spiritual path about ignorant gurus and
negative enlightenment. These terms may be considered
oxymorons, but they exist.
Evaluate Spiritual Teachings along with the Teacher
Many years ago when I gave a New Years Eve lecture in Los
Angeles, I talked about the ignorance of the Buddha. I said the
Buddha lived in a primitive society without electricity, air
conditioning or antibiotics. Science and technology, as we know
them today, did not exist then, so the Buddha suffered along
with his contemporaries. They slept on hard floors, walked in
the hot sun, drank dirty water and died of epidemics or clogged
arteries. Although enlightened, Buddha was not only conditioned by lack of scientific or technological knowledge, but by a
crippling monastic and ascetic culture. The Buddha, though he
called himself a rebel and was known for his polemics against
Hinduism, nonetheless was a victim of Hindu asceticism and
celibacy imposed by the Upanishadic tradition of pre-Buddhist
171

and post-Vedic India. This is what made the Buddha leave his
kingdom, father, wife, and son in search of enlightenment. The
ideal was renunciation and asceticism. Desire was seen as the
root cause of misery: Seek nirvana through meditation and end
the cycle of birth and death. The Buddha is understood to have
followed the so-called middle path which avoids extreme life
styles. Did he follow one? Apparently not. He took to begging
and didnt allow women in his monasteries for a long time.
So far I have dwelt on the negative qualities of the Buddha
and his way of life. Is there anything positive about him? Yes
there is a lot. The Buddha knew about the unknowable. He
was a great scientist of superconsciousness and nirvana. He
acquiredtremendous amounts of superhuman and supernatural
powers. He lived like a superman, which in his opinion was
better than being a prince or king. Life to him was worth
renouncing forthe sake of Enlightenment.
I want you to ponder the question: Do we have to renounce
life in order to reach enlightenment? Most religions, if not all,
would say yes to this question. That is how the split between the
layman and the clergythe profane and the sacredwas
created. It is time for all religionists to join together and to
develop a hard-nosed look at their holy men and women, along
with the teachings within their respective traditions. I know that
this will create a lot of turmoil and confusion among congregations emotionally tied to their particular religions and beliefs.
Yet, I am not professing a rationalistic theology. Religion and
spirituality are beyond reason. However, I urge you to look at
the neglect and lack of interest that churches, temples, mosques
and monasteries have suffered. People are less able to relate to
their religion easily except through some form of fundamentalism, which is not a desirable option for those desiring
Enlightenment.
We need to contemporize our religion, faith and spiritual
practices. In order to do this we have to use discernment.
Particularly we need to discriminate between positive and negative enlightenment, ignorant gurus and enlightened gurus. The
following comparisons will help you decide the key factors
about the four categories that I have described for yourself.
172
173
Negative Enlightenment Teachings
1. Desire is the cause for misery and the senses cause

bondage to the world. Practice renunciation.
2. Anniliation of the ego.
3. Sit in meditation all the time.
4. Lead a life of poverty with minimum resources.
5. Live in the moment and dont plan for the future.
6. Work is distraction from enlightenment, therefore dont
work.
7. Sex is evil.
8. Senses are evil.
9. Emotions and fantasies are evil.
Positive Enlightenment Teachings
1. Life should be full of positive desires, but one should

remain detached from both joy and suffering.
2. Nurtures positive ego, which leads to self-esteem.
3. Sit in meditation for a period of time, e.g. an hour, but
be mindful all day.
4. Live a comfortable life with moderate luxury.
5. Live in the moment but secure your present and future
needs.
6. Work is divine and better than inaction and unemployment.
7. Sex is divine.
8. Senses are nourishing, but keep them under control.
9. Emotions and fantasies give meaning to life.
Finding an Authentic Guru is Hard
During the month of February 2000, I took a group of my

American students on a pilgrimage to India. We went to a
sacred mountain in search of the Siddhas (perfected Beings). I
met a guy in a deep saffron robe and long matted hair. He
would not speak and it was said that he lived on one meal a day.
I gave him some money. He wanted to have his picture taken
with my students and me. I complied, though feeling uncomfortable. When I was leaving, he asked me to write something. I
wrote to him that he should give up his pretensions about
silence and fasting and try to get a job. Later on, the temple
priest told me that the so-called saint became silent because he
didnt know the answers to the questions of his people. All that
he needed to do was fake a mystical look and raise his hands in
blessings. He raised one hand if the donation was poor and two
hands if it was generous.
Many years ago when I was young, I studied with a guru
who has been a university professor for 30 years of his life. He
was a highschool dropout, but his knowledge was greater than
most PhDs. Most universities recognized him and awarded him
honorary doctorate degrees. He would never teach for money,
but selected one or two people whom he would teach individually. He introduced me to Sri Vidya, an ancient Tantric
tradition. The day he initiated me, the Goddess appeared to
me in a dream. This is an example of a real teacher. However,
thisdoes not mean that anybody who doesnt collect money is
amaster teacher. Many teachings are available free of cost from
gurus in India who act like the guru I mentioned formerly. It is
very difficult to find an authentic guru.
Checklist for Discerning an Ignorant Guru
1. Fanatical, fundamentalist. Robes and beard are more

important than their inner development.
2. Follows institutional bureaucracy and hierarchy in order
1
74

to keep political power.

3. Manipulates students to stay with them through fear,
guilt and eternal oaths.
4. I am God or the only one who holds the truth.
Everyone else is either false or mistaken.
5. Wealth is bad and you should give up your belongings
(perhaps to him for safe custody).
6. Outwardly condemns sex although it is contradictory to
his conviction and practice.
7. Does not socialize with students in order to keep the
students in awe and wonder.
8. Donation to the guru or his institution will wash away
your sins.
9. Doesnt talk about his struggles with thoughts and
desires, but lies to the world that he is in samadhi and
without thoughts.
10. Full of diseases in the body, and blames them on to the
karma of the students and the world.
11. Claims that his personal suffering is due to taking on
the karma of the people of the world.
Checklist for Discerning an Enlightened Guru
1. Totally free from concepts, constantly moving forward

and progressive. Robes are not as important as inner
development.
2. Not attached to institutions and hierarchy. Least political.
3. Always asks his students to feel free to quit without fear
or guilt.
4. I am on the path still evolving. Respects others teachings and recommends their books and teachings.
5. Wealth is freedom. You should save money for your
rainy days.
6. Affirms sexuality and its divinity.
175

7. Mingles with his students and is easily accessible.
8. Talks freely about his mistakes and shortcomings.
9. Donations may help, but has to be on the basis of true
inner transformation.
10. Talks about battle with the body and tries to be
healthy.
11. Claims that his personal suffering is due to his lack of
knowledge to handle karma successfully.

177
Chapter 13
Nadis
his chapter may not appeal to everyone, but

there are some people for whom this information will be a God-send. Literally. There are
some people who are seeking a deeper explanation about their karma, what they did in a past life that has
caused what they are dealing with now...
So consider, have you ever wished for answers about why
some things in your life look the way they do and what you
could do to remedy some of your difficulties?
In India, there is a secret esoteric tradition that has kept
records detailing the past, present and future for many people.
This is called Nadi Astrology. These records were written by
various enlightened masters who are collectively called the
Siddhas. I have mentioned them several times earlier in this
book.
If you have been drawn to this book and have been finding
it helpful, these enlightened Siddhas may have known you in a
past life when you lived in India. If so, at that time they agreed
to help you during a crisis in a future lifetime, and they always
keep their word. For many people, that future lifetime is actually the one they are in now. The promised help they will receive
will come from Nadi Astrology.
If you are drawn to investigate Nadi Astrology in this lifetime, there is a strong chance that you have a connection with
these Siddhas and there are records waiting for you, sort of
178

CHAPTER 13: NADIs
Post-Its from the Divine, giving explanations and directions

for this lifetime. Many traditions have predicted that this new
millennium will be the setting for tremendous material and
spiritual evolution for many people. Nadi astrology is a key tool
for positive, rapid transformation as it explains past errors which
have resulted in the current state of affairs in ones life and
particular remedies to perform in order to alleviate difficulties
and open up a new, more positive karmic track in this lifetime.
I am very excited to make knowledge of this most precious
tool available in the West. The Nadis truly come from the
other side.
Siddhas and the Sacred Leaves
Many of the Siddhas are not yet well-known in the West,

although one of them, Babaji, has been written about in
Yoganandas book, Autobiography of a Yogi. Another book
describing the yogic abilities of these masters is, Babaji and the
18 Siddha Kriya Yoga Tradition, by M. Govindan. In this
millennium, the wisdom and secrets of the Siddhas are being
passed into the West more openly for the first time, and I have
special permission to share things which have never before been
released publicly. Many people in the West will benefit enormously from these.
The enlightened Siddha masters founded Nadi astrology
truly a long, long ago. Lord Siva, pleased with their devotion,
bestowed upon them some exclusive powers. He gave them
incredible clairvoyance to know the past, present and future.
The Siddhas etched their priceless knowledge on ancient palm
leaves called Nadis. Associated with you in your Poorva Janma
(previous birth), they promised to help you in a future life, i.e.
now. By the Nadi law, you will be involuntarily attracted to the
leaves by destiny only. The very fact you are reading this far into
the description of the Nadis is an interesting omen, as not
everyone even hears about them, let alone is curious about
179

them.
The Nadi leaves are inscribed in Sanskrit, the mother tongue
for all ancient Indian arts and sciences. Various people have held
the Nadis in secret once the Siddhas wrote them. One ruler, the
Maharajah Serfoji II of Tanjore in southern India, was a true
patron of art and sciences. He stored these palm leaves safely in
his palace library knowing their importance. He also had them
translated into Tamil (a language used in southern India). The
British acquired possession of these leaves during their rule and
later sold them to some families, which still own them and
respectfully keep them. The Nadi leaves have been held quietly
for centuries, waiting their time of rendezvous with their
intended recipients, the individuals whose destinies they
describe.
Time to Release Secrets
I have been an enlightened Siddha master in many, many

lifetimes. The time has come to release many of the Siddha
secrets into the West in a broad way, to benefit many, many
people. The time has come for this knowledge to go out in the
masses. I have spent over twenty years of painstaking research in
this life to unearth a combination of Nadis renowned for being
genuine, accurate and reliable.
Most importantly for you, I am energetically involved in the
remedial process of Nadi astrology which gives a very strong
boost to the removal of negative karma and accelerates positive
transformations. As suggested by Lord Siva in your leaves, it is
important to perform remedial rituals at specific temples which
hold ancient divine energies. It is important for individuals to
perform the remedies in order to change the problems in their
lives, transmuting difficult karma created in past lives which
may be affecting this one.
Finding Your Leaf, Changing Your Life
You will feel a shift even just entering your remedy temples
180

CHAPTER 1 3: NADIs
while making the pilgrimage visit. By offering prayers in the

particular temples recommended for you, you will leave the
temples with divine blessings which will literally open up a new
life for you.
It is not enough to know your destiny, whether it is good or
bad. An important step in creating a new life is the ability to
change and reconstruct it as you wish it to be. This is a yogic
art.
I have people who are interested in seeking their Nadi leaf
start the search with Siva Nadi, the supreme Nadi, which is a
dialogue between Lord Siva and his consort Parvatiboth
considered true adepts of enlightened yogic arts. Mahasiva
Sukshmam Nadi, the greatest Siva Nadi, contains minute details
about every aspect of human life. Whereas other Nadis usually
give predictions for every five years or so, this Nadi will give
predictions on a yearly basis or even every six months. However,
not everyone on the planet has a leaf available with Siva Nadi.
For some people, the Siddha who is helping them left other
leaves. For esample, there are Nadis from other illustrious saints
such as Visvamitra, Bogar and Pulipani.
To find out if you have a leaf, your thumbprint is used as
part of the look-up process. Everyones thumbprint is unique.
Nadi astrologers search through the palm leaves based on the
pattern of the thumbprint to find out if you have a Nadi leaf
containing your destiny, and remedial suggestions about how to
remove negative karma. Nadi readings will accelerate the process
of burning your karma and can completely alter the course of
your destiny.
Some of the Nadi remedies may suggest that you visit a
specific temple. These temples have been built in a sacred place
with beneficial space. I have mentioned at the beginning of this
book that the Siddhas considered water a great purifier. Space
itself also has therapeutic properities when it is the right space.
181

Good Vibes
According to the Siddhas, each space has its own vibes. This
can be clearly understood by a comparision of a good neighborhood and a bad neighborhood. The Siddhas tell a story to
explain the vibes in different geographical spaces.
Story of the House of Thieves
Once a Siddha was caught in rain in the woods. It was dark

at night, and he looked around for a shelter. He found a house
and walked towards it to sit out out the rain as the house was
covered. He also found a newly wedded couple taking shelter.
The Siddha had a terrible thought suddenly flashing through
his mind. That was to kill the husband and take the woman and
her jewels. The Siddha examined wherefrom this negative idea
came to him. He discovered that the house belonged to some
robbers, and their thought waves were still floating in the sky,
and the Siddha happened to access them.
Just as there are negative thought patterns floating in the
atmosphere, there are also good ones. The places where good
thoughts are floating are called sacred spaces. Usually these are
within specially built temples where in ancient times a great
being cured the king of a disease or healed the poor, and so
forth. To visit a sacred space and to breathe the vibes there is
truly therapeutic.
Good Thoughts and Sacred Spaces
So the temples recommended by the Nadis are dripping

with space energy from the Siddhas. This is why remedies and
prayers performed in them are so effective. There is Infinite
Intelligence and Compassion present in the Divine radiations of
these temples. Each temple is devoted to an aspect of the
Divine. Those that are given as your remedy temples are keyed
to energies suitable for diffusing your old karma and recharging
you with a new life.
A temple called Vaitheeswaran Koil in a village in Southern
182

CHAPTER 13: NADIs
India is the nerve center of the Nadi tradition. Surrounded by

other temples of great significance, the entire village reverberates
with this ancient heritage of wisdom. The Nadi readers I work
with are from this fertile Nadi Astrology soil; I guarantee the
authenticity and integrity of the readers and Nadis used by
Vaaak Sounds.
Caution! There is so much out there in the name of Nadi
Astrologynot every Nadi is comprehensive or legitimate. There
are fake Nadi leaves! It is important to be cautious about the source.
To repeat, I personally guarantee the authenticity of the Nadis
used in my organization.
Two Ways To Find Your Nadi Leaf
For those who are interested in exploring this sacred tool,

you can find your Nadi leaf through two means: by coming to
India in person (either on one of Vaaak Sounds special group
trips or on an individually designed trip for those of you with
tight and unpredictable schedules); or through use of an efficient mail-order service. In the case of using the mail-order
service, my staff in India will arrange for remedies to be
performed in your Nadi temples in your name, and this has
great efficacy. You may be given a yantra to use at home, and in
that case, you must be faithful to this for the remedy to work.
However, I have to be honest and say it is most beneficial to
come to India and personally perform the remedies that the
Nadi author prescribes for you. You are the best one to clean up
your own mess!
However, if you cannot travel to India at this point in time,
you can receive your Nadi reading through the postal service or
through email. You may fill out a questionnaire and return it to
Vaaak Sounds along with your thumbprint. Some people start
the process by opting for Nadi remedies through mail-order and
then later come to India to repeat the remedies through the
Nadi trip service. My staff in India has been taking excellent
183

care of people doing their Nadi remedies for several years now,
and they really devote themselves to making this a deeply meaningful pilgrimage for you with the details of meals, hotels,
transportation all attended to. You are accompanied by a Nadi
guide who is familiar with the energies of the temples and who
will ensure your remedies are properly performed.
I have seen this to be a life transforming experience for some
many people, and I know there are many, many more leaves
waiting for their rightful recipient.
Some people ask, can some day temples with special space
energy be built in places other than India. And I say, Yes. We
live in an age when new temples will be built in new lands, and
when the Divine energies will charge new places as well. The
time has come for enlightened energy to become available
throughout the world. It is time for the Age of Truth to take
hold.

CHAPTER 13: NADIs
There are many, many leaves waiting for souls that were
meant to find them. This is a profoundly deep yogic science,
and you cannot come to your Nadi before the time of the
intended rendezvous. For some of you reading this book, that
time is NOW.
If you are drawn to investigate this further, please get more
information about how to fill out a questionnaire and submit

Nadi Reading Process
But, back to the Nadis, for now. First, Nadi readers will
locate your leaf and any accompanying chapters of information. Then, the readers will locate your first chapter for a general
reading: This information identifies you, your parents and
spouse by name, number of siblings, profession, religion, etc. It
will include general predictions for the future.
They will then locate your two remedial chapters that
prescribe the exact rituals to be performed, which will erase the
balance of your past-life sins, allow you to end the current
suffering and achieve your highest potential in the future.
Subsequently, you can request additional chapter readings on
specific areas of life that you wish to learn about such as jobs,
business, family, marriage, relationships, health/medical issues
and so on. But I insist that the most efficient way to start is with
the remedial chapters: You have so much to gain by cleaning up
the old karma!

Sacred Ash (Vibhuti),
Siva-Shakti Malas,
Crystal Siva Linga
n this chapter I share some tools that were divinely
given, namely Sacred Ash (Vibhuti), Siva-Shakti
Malas (a kind of rosary) and Crystal Siva Lingas.
These tools have been used for centuries by the Tamil
Siddhas who believe that the harmony of spirit, mind and body
results in total perfection. The term Siddha means a perfected,
completed being who lives a life of unending joy. To attain this
level of Siddha success, one must master the ability to inhibit
nonproductive and destructive thoughts and generate creative
thoughts which will lead to perfection. Meditation is the only
vehicle leading to higher consciousness, and ultimately, to that
perfection. All of the tools I discuss in this chapter are tools to
assist your meditative practice. All pathways to enlightenment
involve meditation.
I offer these tools to you to use as protective shields in these
volatile times to help you with attaining peace. Now I want to
answer the question, Where is peace? It is with God. Become
identified with God; you will have peace. There was a great
Siddha called Tiruvalluvar. He wrote, No one gets rid of
worries until he reaches the feet of God.
When I was Manikavacakar, I wrote some lyrics under the
title Sacred War. The lyrics say everyone should engage in a
sacred war against the army of Maya (illusion). The weapon that

Uses ofSacred Ash (Vibhuti)
In meditation practice, sacred ash (Vibhuti) is used on ones

forehead, throat, shoulders and other parts of ones body. It
usually comes in small packets and is grey in color. Holy ash is
used in several traditions. For example, the Catholics have a
tradition of going to church at the start of Lent and having a
priest put some ash on their forehead, and so, the start of
Lentis called Ash Wednesday.
Sacred ash has been used in India for other purposes as well.
Vibhuti is a tool that comes from the Divine to assist spiritual
seekers in opening the third eye and absorbing spiritual realization at an accelerated pace. Sometimes spiritual seekers are not
able to attract things because they lack authentic desire. The
sacred ash has properties for both erasing karma and helping
you with authentic desire.
I recommend using sacred ash after showering, before beginning a meditation session. Some people apply it using the right
hand, typically using the ring finger and dotting the third eye
area on the forehead. I have encouraged some people to use the
middle, ring, and pinkie finger of the right hand to create a
three stripe effect on the forehead or even liberally apply vibhuti
completely across the forehead as a protective blessing, chanting
Om Nama Sivaya during the application. (Traditionally, the use
of the index finger in applying vibhuti is reserved for ones
teacher.) In addition to the forehead, I have suggested to people
that they put some vibhuti on their throat and shoulders.
Some people put the contents of the packets into a small
enclosed glass box or other suitable container and keep the
vibhuti near their meditation spot or alter. Its ok to wash your
face off before leaving the house to go to work or school, or
187
other public places. Some people put a very light amount on all
over their body before going to sleep at night.
Vibhuthi Legends and Stories
I can share some of the older stories from India to illustrate

the significance of using Vibhuti.
Sage Sudhamas Narration
Once the Saints of Sownagadhi collectively appealed to the

Sage Sudhama to reveal to them what Lord Muruga taught to
Agasthiyar.
Sage Sudhama began to narrate...
Lord Muruga expatiated on the multifarious ways in

which one could worship Lord Siva and particularly highlighted the significance of Vibuthi.
Vibuthi...
is Kalpam [Kalpam is a concoction of rare herbs made
by the siddharspersons who have acquired the eight
great mystic powersin their superior wisdom. The
consumption of this Kalpam in prescribed doses extends
ones life span on the earth, combats aging and enhances
virility.]
has the magical power of instantaneously washing away
ones sins if applied on the physical body. The mere
smelling of Vibuthi is enough to fetch one many good
fortunes. The use of Vibuthi, prepared strictly in the
manner proscribed, will help one achieve successes in
ones life and all his or her cherished hopes, aspirations
and dreams will get fulfilled. In as much as one cannot
totally comprehend the supreme and absolute aspects of
Lord Siva, so also one cannot understand the infinite
potency of Vibuthi.

is the most favored item of Lord Siva, is universally used
by Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, all the angels, seers and
sages, brahmins, kshatriyas, vaishiyas, sudras (the four
sects in the caste hierarchy of Hinduism) and women.
if applied on his physical body, chanting the name of
Lord Siva, that person will assuredly acquire eight
different forms of wealth and eight different forms of
successes. The very sight of Vibuthi is adequate to drive
away all the evils and all the demons. Vibuthi has the
potential to cure several hideous diseases like leprosy.
Vibuthi can be applied as three horizontal stripes or as
one single small line (as mentioned earlier).
anybody who disrespects or scoffs at Vibuthi will come
to grief.
anyone who mixes Vibuthi with water and applies it as
three horizontal stripes, on his head, forehead, neck,
chest, either side of his stomach, both his forearms,
central parts of both his arms, two wrists, on his back
and behind his neck, will embody in himself the Trinity
of Lord Siva, Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma.
adorning, either as three horizontal stripes or as one
single short line impells one on the path of spiritual
progress.
All sages of yore who are well versed in Vedic knowledge
proclaim that Vibuthi dispels all darkness and ignorance,
allowing for supra-mental illumination. All the ardent worshippers of Lord Siva whose aspiration it is to attain salvation must
constantly apply Vibuthi, either as three long stripes or as one
short line.
189

Meeting of Lord Siva, Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma
Once upon a time, there was a deluge that engulfed the

whole universe, and amidst the torrential floods, Lord Vishnu
was lying on a small Banyan leaf. When Lord Siva appeared
there, the colossal expanse of water appeared suddenly like a
small pool of water under His feet. Lord Vishnu was flabbergasted to see this phenomenon and enquired who the visitor
was. Lord Siva then gave Lord Vishnu a pinch of this Vibuthi,
which Lord Vishnu applied on His forehead and also
consumed. Instantly, Lord Vishnu was able to realize that the
visitor was none other than Lord Siva Himself.
Lord Siva told Lord Vishnu that He had come with a
mission to beget Lord Brahma, who would, in turn, create all
life, mind and matter. He appealed to Lord Vishnu to transform
His sex and become His consort in order to create this
progenyas Lord Vishnu embodies in Himself all the supreme
powers of Lord Siva. Lord Vishnu turned into an extraordinarily
beautiful and seductive woman and had sexual intercourse with
Lord Siva. Thereupon, the five-headed Lord Brahma appeared
through the holy navel of Lord Vishnu.
That Lord Brahma subsequently lost one head and became
four-faced is a different story.
Resurrecting Angels
The mighty and all-powerful Virabadhran used Vibuthi to

resurrect the angels who were killed by demons.
Eliminating Sin
Yovanarajan, who had perpetrated countless acts of sin,

suddenly attained salvation because he physically came into
contact with Saint Vamadeva whose body was smeared with
Vibuthi.
Story of the Brahmins Salvation
Likewise, a Brahmin, who was a rank deceiver and rapist,

190

CHAPTER 14: SACRED AsH, SIVA-SHAKTI MALAs, SIVA LINGA
suddenly died in his village. Driven by feelings of utter hatred

and revulsion, the village folks tied the hands and feet of this
Brahmin and dragged the corpse beyond the boundaries of their
village and cast it away. The messengers of Lord Yama (the Lord
of Death) also swiftly appeared to take away his spirit to the
Hell. At this point of time, a dog with its body smeared accidentally with Vibuthicame to devour the corpse. When the
Vibuthifell on the arms and chest of the dead Brahmin, all his
sins were forgiven and he attained immediate salvation.
The Story Of King Bujabalan Who Lost Vibuthi
Sage Sudhama then narrated the tale of Bujabalan to the

Saints of Sownagadhi, to further impress on them the significance of Vibuthi...
Bujabalan was a great king ruling Bengal with fair play
and justice. He was known for upholding the high moral and
ethical standards. He steadfastly loved his subjects and was
constantly found in the company of well-meaning advisors.
On an auspicious occasion, King Bujabalan offered a lot of
gifts to Brahmins. A multitude of Brahmins invaded Bengal to
avail themselves of the kings generous gesture. Amongst them
was Suseelan, a Brahmin of exceptional qualities and erudition.
All the assembled Brahmins petitioned the king that he should
accord priority to Suseelan and offer him the most gifts, as
Suseelan was well-versed in the vedas, a great disciplinarian, and
an ardent devotee of Lord Siva. The King readily complied.
Suseelan pointed out to the King that all his acts of charity
will become purposeless and futile unless he applied Vibuthi on
his person, either as three horizontal stripes or as one small
single line.
The King became furious and told Suseelan that acts of
charity have their own rewards and it was certainly not required
that he should apply Vibuthi.
Suseelan, once again pleaded with the King not to disrespect

and belittle Vibuthi, as the repercussions would be far reaching.

[Anybody who condemns the use of Vibuthi will instantly lose
all their wealth, become physically sick and every part of his
anatomy will decay. All his progeny will meet with destruction
and he will be cast away into the Hell.]
To this, the King derisively remarked that his wealth was
inexhaustible, his physical frame incapable of decay, and his
progeny could not be destroyed. The King further told Suseelan
that he would approach him for Vibuthi, should any such
calamity befall him.
Since the King was unrelenting, Suseelan politely declined
the gifts and departed abruptly.
As time passed, King Bujabalan became physically diseased
and confined to bed. His army was completely liquidated, and
he was driven out of his kingdom by alien invaders.
King Bujabalan took refuge in a forest where his wife eloped
with a tribesman. Plagued by hunger and thirst, King Bujabalan
wandered around in the forests nomadically. Since everybody
refused him alms, Bujabalan resorted to robbery, and he was
caught by the police. His legs and arms were amputated and he
was cast away on the outskirts of the town.
Bujabalan led the life of a beggar in a place called Kundinam
in Vidharba.
The tribesman, who eloped with Bujabalans wife, was killed
and devoured by a tiger in the forest. Bujabalans wife wandered
around as a mendicant and was caught by the police while
attempting to steal. Her nose was cut off and by a quirk of fate,
she also came to the same Kundinam where Bhujabalan was
loitering. Although they met, they could not recognize each
other and forgot their earlier matrimonial bond. They suffered
from severe physical ailments, their bodies turned ulcerous, with
blood and puss began oozing out.
One day, they chanced to come to the doorsteps of
Suseelans house with begging bowls. Suseelan enquired what
circumstances drove them to their sorry plight. Bhujabalan told

Suseelan that he was the former ruler of Bengal.
Bhujabalan was suffering from amnesia and did not recognize Suseelan. Suseelan reminded the erstwhile King of the
earlier incidents and told him the reasons for his deprivation
and grief.
Bhujabalan began to slowly recollect the way he had
contemptuously discarded Vibuthi. He begged for forgiveness
and implored Suseelan to offer him Vibuthi. Once again,
Suseelan gave the Vibuthi and exhorted Bhujabalan to apply it
all over his body. He further blessed Bhujabalan saying, You
will soon recover all the eight forms of the wealth which you
lost. Your wife who abandoned you will come back seeking
reunion with you. All your physical ailments will vanish. You
will conquer the invaders of your erstwhile kingdom. You will
enjoy longevity and all the comforts.
Bhujabalan applied the Vibuthi on his physical body with
great care and devotion. He regained his lost legs and arms, and
all his ailments suddenly disappeared. He prostrated at the feet
of Suseelan in an act of sheer repentance.
Bhujabalans wife also narrated her tale of woe and sought
Suseelans forgiveness. Suseelan gave her a small quantity of
Vibuthi, which she applied all over her body and she was also
instantly restored to her original self.
The King of Vidharba, Vichitraratham met Suseelan and
fellat his feet. He profusely thanked Suseelan for saving his
nephew, Bhujabalan and his wife and restoring to them all that
they had lost both physically and materially. Vichitraratham
then escorted Bhujabalan and his wife to his kingdom, feasted
them and gave them enormous riches, horses, battalions and
other valuable gifts.
Bhujabalan and his wife once again met Suseelan and sought
his blessings and help in retrieving for them their original
kingdom of Bengal, which boon Suseelan was too glad to grant.
192
193
Bhujabalan enthusiastically marched towards his kingdom to

engage in battle the demon king who was conducting his tyrannical rule in Bengal during his absence. But, the moment the
demon king accosted Bhujabalan wearing the triple stripes of
Vibuthi on his forehead, he meekly surrendered and shed his
hideous demonic appearance and became a kindly-looking
angel. A visibly stunned Bhujabalan enquired who the demon
king was.
The demon king escorted Bhujabalan and his wife to the
throne, made them occupy it and showered on them bountiful
riches. He organized the coronation of Bhuabalan on a grand
scale.
Thereafter, the demon king, turned angel, revealed to
Bhujabalan his identity.
The Demon King Tells A Story
Once upon a time I was Varunass and at that time, I was

harassed and occupying the mid-oceans. I sought refuge and
stayed at Lord Indras palace.
Agastya and Narada visited Indras palace and Indra accorded
both of them a tumultuous welcome.
Thereafter Narada spoke to Indra thus...
I have just returned from the human world where I
witnessed some strange occurrences. In the palace of the famous
King of Kashmir, Vajradehi, there was an ignorant priest
Sudharman who knew nothing about the various rites and
rituals. The King asked this priest why he remained ignorant of
all the spiritual knowledge which he was expected to possess.
The priest pleaded with the King that he was unable to comprehend the scriptures despite his best efforts and that he is
fervently praying to Lord Vishnu to help him become knowledgeable. Pleased with this priests steadfast devotion and his
incessant prayers, Lord Vishnu appeared before him and
imparted to him all the sacared knowledge. Vajradehi, the King,
1
94
was also immensely pleased with developments, organized a

function, showering lavish gifts on all the Brahmins who
attended it. In the ensuing seminar, Sudharman vanquished all
the learned Brahmins with his superior knowledge and debating
skills. Alas, Sudharman became arrogant; he ridiculed and
humiliated all the erudite Brahmins. Suddenly, Lord Brahma
appeared on the scene, disguised as an aged Brahmin. He
cautioned Sudharman to exercise restraint and warned him that
any learning unaccompanied by poise and patience could spell
disaster.
An indignant Sudharman condemned Lord Brahma (in
disguise) and proclaimed Him to be as ignorant as the rest of
the Brahmins. Thereupon, Lord Brahma shed his disguise and
appeared before Sudharman in his original four-faced form. As a
fitting punishment for Sudharmans insolence and vanity, Lord
Brahma cursed that Sudharmans tongue would no longer be
able to wag and it will, forever, remain motionless.
Siva-Shakti Mala Beads
Mala beads are a special rosary used for counting recitations

of mantras. Typically they come in a necklace form with either
108 or 54 beads. (Twice around a set of 54 beads equals a count
of 108.) 108 is a sacred number for mantra repetition.
Repeating a mantra this many times brings it through many
energy channels in your system and the mind lets go and lets
the sounds penetrate into a deeper level.
The best mala beads are composed of both rudraksha beads
and crystal beads. Rudraksha beads are symbolic of Lord Siva,
and crystal beads are symbolic of the Goddess. Lord Siva gives
spiritual volution, and the Goddess gives material possessions.
The rudraksha is said to be the compassionate tear of Siva for
the suffering of the world. The crystal has been used since
Atlantean times to boost meditiative practice.
When you use mala beads of this type, you are strengthening
195

the balance between spirituality and materiality in your life.
I have custom-designed mala beads, called Siva-Shakti mala
beads, which will use both these materials to give you the very
best results in chanting mantras. As a protective shield, I
encourage everyone to do OM NAMA SIVAYA 108 times a day
for the highest material and spiritual fulfillment.
Crystal Siva Linga
A Siva Linga is a powerful ritual and meditation tool. The

linga is a symbolic icon representing the male and female generative organs. This is an ancient sacred, tantric symbol for the
creative and powerful energies of the Divine. This is a potent
form of Lord Siva containing both masculine and feminine
Divine energiesthe sum of Divine Intelligence and
Compassion.
Crystal is a material that amplifies subtle vibrations; it is
used in meditative arts for positive purposes only. Performing
rituals and meditations with a Crystal Siva Linga accelerates the
results of your meditation practice.
Some people keep a Crystal Siva Linga on their meditation
table or alter. I suggest doing a daily practice of pouring a small
amount of liquid over a Crystal Siva Linga each day, perhaps in
the morning. You can put the Crystal Siva Linga in a small cup,
pour a small amount of milk or water or juice over the Siva
Linga, reciting the chant Om Nama Sivaya a few times.
This simple practice strongly focuses and energizes your
prayers and brings the Divine energies into your daily life.
When finished, rinse the Crystal Siva Linga and dry it off.
Some people place a flower or offer incense or candlelight when
they return the Crystal Siva Linga to their meditation table or
alter.
If you want to drink the liquid you poured over it when it
was in the small cup, that is fine; it then acts as a kind of
communion.
196

CHAPTER 14: SACRED AsH, SIvA-SHAKTI MALAs, SIvA LINGA
This ancient tool was given with Divine blessings, and I am

pleased to share these blessings with the world through Crystal
Siva Lingas.
Uses of the Crystal Siva Linga
The Crystal Siva Linga can also be used with the mantra
Thiru Neela Kantam during Pradosham times as one pours some
milk on the Crystal Siva Linga. The benefits of chanting and
meditating with Thiru Neela Kantam on Pradosham days are
very heightened when combined with pouring some milk on a
Crystal Siva Linga
I have written about the karma-busting mantra, Thiru Neela
Kantam in an earlier chapter. While this mantra is effective at
anytime as both a chant and as a meditation, there are certain
times and days when it is especially powerful. These are called
Pradosham times and days. These are times when it is easier to
get connected to Lord Siva as a window is more open on the
inner planes.
Story of Pradosham
The story of Pradosham is a legendary tale about an ancient

cosmic event in Hindu mythology called the churning of the
Milky Ocean (Sagar Manthan).
In this story, the Milky Ocean was churned by the Devas
(Angels) and the Asuras (Demons). They both used Mount
Meru as the churning stick and a snake named Vasuki served as
the rope. The Angels held the tail side and the demons the
head. The object of churning the ocean was to get AMRITA,
the elixir of immortality, which both parties wanted. During the
churning, there came out of the Milky Ocean many beautiful
beings and other objects. Kamadhenu, the wish-fulfilling cow
came out of this Milky Ocean, along with other magical
creations including Kalpa Vriksha (the wish-fulfilling tree), the
Ucchaisrava (a magical white horse), Airavata (a magical white
elephant), and Kaustubhamani (a wish-fulfilling jewel). The
197

Moon came out of this Milky Ocean as did the Goddess
Lakshmi (goddess of purity and prosperity) The last to come
out was Dhanvantari (the divine physician) who held a pot of
the elixir Amrita in his healing hands.
Despite the wonder of all this happy magic, nevertheless,
something dangerous also developed. The snake Vasuki was
unable to bear the pain caused by being used as a rope and
being pulled in opposite directions. She vomited poison which
fell on the elixir. No one wanted to go near the poison.
Everyone panicked and prayed to Siva for help. In an act of
compassion, Siva drank the poison. Parvarti, Sivas wife, held
Sivas throat to stop the poison flowing down further into Sivas
body. The poison solidified into a blue spot within Sivas throat
giving him the name Sri Nilakanta in Sanskrit (blue throat).
This story is a way to describe the power of the karma-busting
sounds in the mantra Thiru Neela Kantam, a power that
cannot really be put into words. In the story, Siva then danced
on the head of the Nandi Bull, between his two horns.
Sivas drinking of the poison is a cosmic event that symbolizes the dissolution of karma and negative thoughts within us
and the world. During every Pradosham time Siva does this for
us. It is the best time to remove our karma and negativity as it is
easier to get connected to Siva during these times.
A daily Pradosham time starts with the sunset. Where the
sun sets outside, both Nature and the human mind sense the
inner worlds open up for a moment. Peace reigns both in and
out. It is the time of Pradsham; the time of dissolution of the
cosmos. Sunset is like a mini-renactment of this as the day
dissolves.
Siva performs a beautiful dance during this occasion. The
cosmic dissolution event that is performed every epoch takes
place at a miniature level on a daily basis. The on-set of night is
the daily Pradosham. The Sun goes away, and everyone is ready
to go home and rest. This is a quiet time inside and outside, and
198

CHAPTER 14: SACRED AsH, SIVA-SHAKTI MALAs, SIVA LINGA
therefore sunset is an ideal time for meditation. Until all your

thoughts and processes slow down, including your breathing,
you cant see the dance of Siva. Pradosam time prepares you for
the night.
During every day, Pradosam time is typically between 4:30
p.m. to 6:00 p.m. In addition, each month there are days which
area called Pradosham Days, and the 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
time during those days is especially charged.
Those who chant or meditate with Thiru Neela Kantam
mantra during Pradosam time on Pradosham Days will have
their karma-bursting efforts naturally magnified by the power of
this special time, which has Sivas grace and is a doorway to
Infinite Intelligence. If you have access to the Karma-Busting
CD, this is a great time to play it!
More about Pradosham Times
Paksa Pradosam is the 4th moon called Caturti Tiki
during the waxing moon fortnight.

Monthly Pradosam is the 13th moon called Triodasi Titi
during both the waxing and the waning cycles, counting
the 13th night after the full-moon and the new moon.
Maha Pradosam is when the number two above falls on a
Saturday.
Pralaya Pradosam is the Dooms Day or Ending of Time,
when Siva dissolves everything and dances.
People who worship Siva during Pradosam time reap the
merit of the Asvamedha fire-ritual, a ritual conducted by
emperors anouncing their supreme power.
199
SECTION IIIOTHER TOOLS
Even if you dont have time

to try out all the mantras in the
Personal Transformation Section,
Dr Pillai recommends you work
with two mantras:
Om
and
Om Nama Sivaya
Both of these are explained in more
detailed in the following chapter.
Chapter 15
Om Nama Sivaya
(PRONOUNCED: OHM NA-MA SHE-VA-YA)
he first mantra in this book is OM, and I will

return to it near the close. As T.S. Eliot the
American poet said in Four Quartets, In my
end is my beginning.
Om is God.
God is Om.
Om is the primordial sound from which everything
emanated. Om is consciousness. Om is Life.
The domain of Om is incomprehensible to the human
mind. Om is the realm of all possibilities. Om is Grace Light.
Om is Arul, the Divine Intelligence. When you have enough
Grace, Om will manifest as Divine Light just in front of you
and will envelope you. This Light of Om will dissolve your
ignorance.
Different Enlightened Beings belonging to different religions
have encountered the Om Light prior to their Enlightenment.
The Om Light is Allah, Siva, Yaweh, the Tao, Nirvana, etc.
Practice Om in the following way.
MEDITATATION ON OM (PRONOUNCED: OHM)
Om is formed of three sounds: Ah, Oo, Ma. At the ordinary

level of human existence, Ah creates the waking state of human
consciousness; Oo, the dream state; and Ma, the sleep state.
Meditate on Ah for 3 minutes at the root chakra. Keep
repeating this sound mentally. This will attract all
worldly things towards you.
200
201

Meditate on Oo at the heart center for 3 minutes. This
will give you Divine Intelligence and influence your
dreaming.
Meditate on Ma at the throat chakra for 1 minute. Ma,
will create awareness of maya (illusion). It will create
earthly consciousness and provide rest to the system. We
only sleep a third of our lives, so that is why Ma is for a
shorter duration, so you do not become too sleepy!
ift Go to the Third Eye and chant Om for 3 minutes.
Remember the following over and over and over and over
again; one day when you do this meditation or when you are
praying, Om will flood your entire body. From that time
onwards, you will know that Om can get into you and totally
change your human consciousness.
I have done an entire video tape on a mantra beloved by
many of the Tami Siddhas. This sound is: Om Nama Sivaya.
MANTRA: OM NAM A SivAYA
(PRONOUNCED: OM NA-MA SHE VA YA)
The purpose of Om Nama Sivaya is very meaningful. Om is

the primordial sound. The whole universeboth animate and
inanimateis contained in Om.
Om is the equivalent of Amen.
Nama Sivaya has two units. Na Ma is to be chanted at the
root chakra and the navel chakra respectively. Nama represents
lower worldly realities like earth and water, karmic and egocentric life. Sivaya is the second unit. It represents higher life. Si Va
Ya has to be chanted at the heart, throat and two eyes respectively. Sivaya gives the awareness of the Divine existence which
is the right of every human soul.
Na root center, earth energy, green light
Ma navel center, water energy, blue light
Si (pronounced like the English word She) heart
center, fire energy, red light
SECTiON IIIOTHER TOOLS

CHAPTER 15: OM NAMA SivAYA
Va throat and nostrils, wind/air energy, yellow light

Ya two eyes, two brains, third eye, space energy, white
light.
The chanting of Om Nama Sivaya does the following. Om,
when practiced in the above manner, cleans up the consciousness. Nama awakens the lower realities necessary for earthly
existence. Sivaya helps you to be grounded in awareness of the
divine. One should chant Om Nama Sivaya with this understanding.
Saying Om Nama Sivaya 108 times a day will help you
attain the highest material and spiritual life. It will help you to
be in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. It
harmonizes you with all the elemental energies.
There is much more I can teach about Om Nama Sivaya, but
this is a starting point. If enough people work with this, I will
be able to teach more.
This new century will be a very powerful time; the Age of
Truth will dawn. You will be elevated to a new reality. We are
living at a favorable time for evolution. More than any other
time in human history, it is possible to get rid of all ignorant
principles. Please use these tools and share them with others.
Some of you may want to experiment with chanting Om Nama
Sivaya in groups on a weekly basis.
PRAYER TO LORD SivA, INFiNiTE INTELLiGENCE
Oh Lord Siva, I am caught up in this limited body-mind and

the world of samsara. Liberate me from ignorance, attachment and suffering.
My ego, karma and maya do not allow me to remember you. I
need your grace to chant your name all of the time:
Om Nama Sivaya
with Om, purify me
with Nama, let me handle this world
with Sivaya, let me handle the other world

TripuraThe Philosophy
of Dr Pillai
he word Tripura (pronounced: TRI poo rah)

means several things within Indian philosophical contexts. Tripura literally translates as
three cities (Tri=three, Pura=cities). In one
legend, these cities are supposed to have been occupied by
demon kings who were destroyed by Lord Siva with his
powerful arrow of fire. The mythological story of Lord Siva
triumphing over the evil forces carries several cosmological,
biological and elemental components.
Tripura also refers to three bodiesphysical, astral, and
causal dimensions. Yet another meaning of Tripura in Sanskrit
is called triputi (the triad), which refers to three psychological
activities involved in perception: the Knower, the Known, and
the process of Knowing.
There are several other possible meanings of Tripura.
However, I use Tripura usually in reference to three states of
consciousness which constitute human life and living. The three
constituents of life are:
1) Anava, I consciousness or ego consciousness, who you
think you are
2) Maya, cosmic illusion The relative world appears
because of maya. Maya creates everything. It is not a real
principle, as it is a delusionary power. Maya has an

CHAPTER 16: TRIPURATHE PHLOSOPHY OF DR PILLAI
All three of these are ignorant principles. They limit you and
pollute your consciousness. These principles are a misconception of your Self. You are God, period. Your potential is
unlimited. Maya makes this world so appealing. It aids the
process of the individual I consciousness, so you are
entrenched. Then comes karma, which gives a very strong
feeling to experience certain things. The three principles
together create human existence.
Remember, Lord Siva destroys the three cities of limitation. You lose the concept of I, maya and karma. All three
vibrations are within our own consciousness. If they are
removed, you will live as a pure being of unlimited awareness
and there is nothing you cannot do. This is evolution. This is
the meaning of Tripura.
are known by, nor are you the body, nor are you an identity you
think you are: physician, administrator, janitor... Its because of
ego and I consciousness that you limit yourself in this way.
From the perspective of absolute bliss, both the kings
consciousness and the janitors consciousness are strictly limitations in existence. Destruction of the ego is the first step to
evolve to the next stage.
Destruction of the ego does not mean losing the purpose of
ones life and becoming a monk or recluse. Unfortunately, this
has been the interpretation in practice among most mainstream
Indian traditions such as Vedanta and Buddhism. Both the
Vedantans and the Buddhists leave the world and their responsibilities in favor of the other world. True, they kill their
egobut only through denial of a phenomenal existence. Its
not a desirable model.
In fact, this perception has created extreme poverty
consciousness in India. What I emphasize through the destruction of ego is in fact the destruction of limitations created by
ego. Within the Tamil Siva tradition, there is a beautiful story
which illustrates ego identity in its extremities.

incredible power to charm.

3) Karma, the law of causality that combines cause and
effect. Karma is what you desired to do in the past, what
you desire to do now, and what you desire to do in the
future.
So, I have placed my charity projects under the name

Tripura Foundation to celebrate the way Lord Siva destroyed the
three principles which hold human beings in bondage. This is
the ultimate of human life. As long as we are ignorant, we are
under the grip of karma and maya. We are forced into a limited
experience of existence.
Pure, joyous, unlimited life of bliss exists outside the territory of the three factors outlined above.
Destruction of Limited Consciousness
Primarily one has to step out of ones own I consciousness

or ego consciousness. You are somebody nowyou are

The Guru narrates the story of a prince growing up in the

household of a hunter... A prince was allowed to grow up
anonymously in the hunters house for political reasons. Many
years later when he was called back to the kingdom to become
the prince, he had to switch his consciousness from that of
being a hunters son to that of the prince.
Everyone, the Guru says, is in a situation of the prince. We
are pretending that we are poor, weak, and unworthy. In fact we
are gods and goddesses. The realization of our true identity will
not come until the notions of the limited ego are destroyed. My
explanation of ego-death is the destruction of a false and low
identity and the affirmation of divine identity.
207
The Upanishads, sacred writings from the Vedantic tradition, beautifully described the ego experience of life. What is
life? Is it breathing, thinking, or the experience of sensory activities like touch, seeing, smelling, hearing, tasting? None of these
individual activities can be called life. Even the ego, which coordinates thinking and sensory activities, is not life. Even prana,
which is life energy, is not life. Life is ineffable, continuous bliss,
light and intelligence.
For more understanding about ego consciousness, you can
read selected writings of Ramana Maharishi, an enlightened
teacher who spent his entire life in the quest of finding ego
awareness. His meditation on, Who am I? could be useful in
order to gain the non-ego-self. However, please avoid the trap of
getting lost in the self-inquiry quest, of falling into the pitfall of
inaction.
I want each of you to reflect on the fact that fifty percent of
the world goes to bed hungry at night, and it is not because
there is not enough food on the planet. We must create the
global will to change this right now. It is a sin for these
peopleto be hungry, and it is not pleasing to the Divine.
After September 11, 2001, I was asked by many people to

share my thoughts with the world, as people wondered if the
World Trade Center collapse was a sign of the Apocalypse.
There is no doubt:This event caused me to increase my communication with the larger world.
Mystery of Evil
Taking action to help feed the hunger is a powerful way to

destroy the three demons of ego, maya, and karma. Tripura
Foundation charity projects are a pragmatic way to benefit both
the suffering as well as those seeking higher consciousness. For
more information about Tripura Foundations projects, see
www.tripurafoundation.org.
A great secret I want to share with you is to see God in the
smile of the poor. God likes people who share their wealth with
the poor. While I was Swami Ramalingam in my previous incarnation, Lord Siva revealed to me what really moves His heart
isa kind act of charity extended to the poor. Give the poor
people, food, money or whatever you can give.
Billy Graham, during his national prayer meeting held at

that time, raised questions about the mystery of evil. I believe
everyone is intrigued by the question, Why does God allow
evil? I totally agree with his conclusion that there is no satisfactory answer. You can only kneel down and pray and have faith
in the mercy of God. We live at a time of spiritual crisis
having come to a point where we can destroy all life on the
planet in a matter of minutes through our weapons of mass
destruction, weapons that we developed so proudly. Humanity
is at a point that God alone can save us because nobody is
listening to anybody and everybody thinks that he is right.
Now, God has to do His thing, and that is what is happening.
He has allowed evil to proliferate so that we can get a wake up
call. We are haunted by the reality of death, pain, and suffering
on a massive scale.
Almost every religion in the world speaks of the ending of
the world and the appearance of their God on the face of the
earth. Christians are looking for the second coming of Jesus;
Buddhists look for Maitreya; the Hindus, the Kalki, avatar of
Vishnu; Shite Muslims, the the 13th Imam, Native American
Indians talk about the white Buffalo. Again, there is confusion
aboaut the manifestation of these different Gods. Are they all
going to come at the same time? Or, is it just a belief that is
highly improbable in the physical world?
Every religion agrees that there will be some form of catastrophic destruction before the advent of the new epoch of God.
However, no one has seen God in historic time. The prophets
208
209
Divine Action and Charity

and messiahs have only seen Gods apparitions and heard His
voice. It is an exciting time to be on the earth-plane to confront
God face to face. The Book of Revelations describes the new
world of God:
And I saw a new heaven and new earth; for the first
heaven and first earth passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold the
tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them,
and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with
them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and
there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed
away.
Meaning of Life and Death
The extensive loss of lives at the World Trade Center

collapse was an eye opener.
Particularly, people want to know about the phenomenon of
death. Death is a horrible reality. First of all it hurts the person
who dies; then, those who are near and dear to him. There are
however, very useful teachings from great spiritual teachers
about death and dying. In the Bhagavad-Gita, Krishna, while
urging Arjuna to kill his kiths and kin in the war, gives out three
important teachings:
1) It is important to kill the bad guys, even if they were
your relatives, using both right and wrong methods.
2) After all, killing the body does not amount to killing
the soul because the soul is immortal.
3) Even if you kill someone, dont think that you are the
doer. God is the only doer and you are only an instrument of God.

Mourning of Leela the Queen
In the book, Vasisthas Yoga, translated by Swami

Venkatesananda, there is an important teaching about death.
Leela, the queen, mourns the death of her husband. She prays
to the goddess of learning, Saraswati, to help her cope with the
situation. Saraswati gives her some extra power of
consciousness to see the reality of the matter. Immediately,
Leela is able to perceive that the birth of her husband is only
his dream and so is his death. She participates in the dream
through consent. Life and death are no more then dream
experiences. There is noneed to rejoice or grieve.
Buddha and the Mother
A woman goes to the Buddha asking him to revive her dead

son. The Buddha says that he could resurrect the son very easily
and that he needed some mustard seeds. The Buddha sends the
woman away to get some mustard seeds. The condition,
however, is that the seeds should be taken as alms from a household where no death has occurred. The woman comes back
with the understanding that death is common and her son is no
exception.
The general sense of Eastern teaching is that birth and death
are diseases of the soul impelled by desires to incarnate over and
over again. So, get rid of your desires and you will not come
back here.
Dr Pillais Teaching on Death
My teaching about death does not fall in line with these

great teachers. Having said all these great things, death is still a
painful reality. It is said that while on the Cross, Jesus is
reported to have said, God, why you have abandoned me?
So, what is the solution? I pin my faith in the teachings of
Revelations. God is coming to the earth-plane to evolve the
human race. Accordingly, those who do not want anything
except enlightenment will get a light body similar to Babajis.
211
Thats the end of your pain and suffering. When you dont
have a flesh body, it doesnt hurt. You wont need food or sex,
money or housing. This is total liberation. The rest of
humanity will have some interim relief, but will have to come
back to worktheir way.
Ending Mediocrity
Most people experience one or more of the following:

You wake up in the morning and have one of the following
moods:
1. Happy.
2. Lousy and frustrated.
3. Flat, or in the routine work mode.
During the course of your day, you may fluctuate between
moods. The demonsnegative forceswill not let your mind
stay in a happy state nor allow you to think about an outrageous
life of abundant health, wealth, happiness, and peace.
Whenever you feel depressed, say the mantra, Thiru Neela
Kantam. Keep a flower pot on your desk and pluck a flower
every three to four hours and infuse it with the mantra Thiru
Neela Kantam, saying the affirmation, I am ending mediocrity.
Every day, put a red flower in front of my picture and watch
the magical changes in the flower and your life.

Sylvia Brown and Lakshmis Mantra
Sylvia Browne is one of Americas most celebrated psychic

and spiritual teachers today. She channels a spiritual guide,
Francine, who aides her in psychically seeing the past, present
and the future with such accuracy that it blows the minds of
people everywhere. Sylvia also uses her own altered levels of
consciousness to predict the past and the future. Sylvia helps
police to investigate criminals with great accuracy. She uses her
psychic abilities to help people heal from serious diseases. She
puts people in touch with their deceased loved ones and helps
people to unravel their psychological problems through past-life
regressions.
Sylvia is able to visit what she calls as the other side. The
213

other side is the domain to which a spirit retires after death or
temporarily visits during sleep... It is a realm that appears to
have no physicality of its own although its form is perceptible to
spiritual sight. As a spirit, Sylvia has unraveled a wealth of material about the other side.
Sylvias experiences provide validity to some of the teachings
of Hinduism. For instance, the practice of mantras is a very
important tool in connecting to the divine within Hindu
worship. Each god and goddess has his or her own mantra. In
fact, the mantra is the very essence, the body of the divine, so to
speak. The mantra is often a two to three syllable sound that
carries the energy of a god or goddess. In Sanskrit, the mantra is
known as a seed (bija). Just as a seed carries the whole tree
within itself, a mantra carries the deitys presence and qualities
within its structure. The mantra practice is based on the theory
that if one continually chants the mantra, either quietly or out
loud, the deity is expected to appear before the practitioner. The
theories about mantras are indeed very complex. However,
everyone familiar with mantras knows this much to get help
from a particular deity, you have to chant the deitys mantra.
The important question to ask is, Do mantras belong to
Hinduism or are they a universal, transcendental phenomenon? From reading Sylvia Brownes writings, it becomes
evident that mantras belong to all souls in general. In her book,
Sylvia talks about her visits to the Hall of Tones on the other
side. The following is her description of the Hall of Tones:
The Hall of Tones
When each of our souls was first created, we were given our
own individual Mantra, a specific word or series of syllables, to
which our spirits will eternally resonate. Every mantra starts
with Om, which is a word of affirmation and ascent, followed
by a tone that is typically made up of two syllables. Mine is
Shreem. (I didnt light up with instant recognition at the sound
214
SEction IIIOthER TooLs

ChAptER 17: You Do Not HAvE to BE Hindu to UsE This MAtERiAL
of my mantra, however.) Apparently and sadly their divine resonance gets drowned out all too often by the noise of our
conscious minds here on earth.Life on the Other Side by
Sylvia Browne, p.111.
Sylvia Brownes channeled information is very useful.
Shreem, which is Sylvia Brownes own mantra, is also Sanskrit
mantra for Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Similarly, the
mantra Kiri is the sound for Kali, the ferocious goddess who
kills demons. I am sure that from what I know of the writings
of Sylvia Browne, that she, herself, is not aware of the Hindu
background of the mantras. Some of the explanations of the
mantras that come from Sylvia are quite profound and esoteric.
For instance Sylvia says that the mantra is the sound of affirmation and ascent. Very few people will understand the depth of
that statement, and this is not the place to discuss it.
However, it is interesting to follow Sylvias thoughts about
the Hall of Tones. She says that mantras will put you in touch
with your genetic lineage. As a matter of fact, you can accomplish a lot of your material goals through the use of mantras.
The success of Transcendental Meditation worldwide is due to
the use of mantras. Sylvia, herself, has given a guided meditation to find out anyones mantra. If you cant find your own
mantra, you can use specific mantras for a specific result.
Need for Universal Religion
Religion is a mysterious force. It is simultaneously both positive and negative. It gives peace to the soul, but at the same
time it also destroys peace. Religion is responsible for great
civilizations and awesome architecture, but conflicts among
religionsdestroy not only those cultural monuments but also the
human race itself. Religions power comes from its total
irrationality anda blind concept of loyalty. Almost every religion,
except a few Eastern ones, claim that each has The Truth and
every other religion or faith is misguided. Often an argument
is put forth
215

that there cant be more than one Truth. There is one Truth
and there are several other misrepresentations of Truth, they
say.
When I was in graduate school, a professor of anthropology
gave a definition of religion as it is understood in the contemporary world. He said, Religion is what I practice and cult is
what my enemy practices. The Jews thought that the non-Jews
(whom they called Gentiles) worshipped a false God, and to this
day they dont think that Jesus Christ was a messiah from
Yahweh, although Christianity became a major world religion.
The Moslems think that there is no God but Allah. Sects within
Hinduism think either Vishnu or Siva is the supreme God. The
Buddha said that there was no God, but unfortunately he
himself was elevated to Image worship along with a host of
other Buddhist Gods and Deities.
In our contemporary civilization, the common man cares
les s f or G od o r r el igio n. Th e a t t en d an c e i n
church/synagogue/temple/mosque is relatively small when
compared with the population who are indifferent to religion.
The danger for society comes from the believers, particularly the
fundamentalists. If we objectively look at the fundamentalist
movements in religion, it will be apparent they are the troublemakers. They have very little tolerance towards other faiths and
live in the belief that they alone have got it right. More often
than not, fundamentalists are obsessed about their respective
Gods and spend their entire lives ridiculing other faiths and
trying to convert non-believers
Although most religions speak of tolerance and acceptance
of other faiths, there are deep problems in putting this concept
into practice. Ones faith is ingrained in the blood and even
penetrates ones bone marrow. It is emotionally impossible for a
Jew to accept Jesus, or a Moslem to accept Krishna. As I pointed
out earlier, religion is irrational; you and I are tied to a particular faith because of past life memories.
I am glad that in the some countries, a political system

evolved separating the church from the state. Such a
separationis indeed the beginning of a New World Order. I pray
that the Formless and Nameless Almighty will do some miracles
to makethis separation happen all over the world.
In the final analysis, the Ideal would be to define the
Almighty as Light and Love. This is what I attempted to do in
my last life as Swami Ramalingam. I had tremendous resistance
from the Hindus who thought I was crazy to deny the Hindu
gods. Here I am, again preaching the same message:
Arut perum jyoti arut perum Jyoti
Taniperum karunai
Arut perum Jyoti.
The mantra is saying:
All knowingness (God) is an illumined Light.
This Light is also compassion.)
I think the above definition of God would help to lay the
foundation for a Universal Religion. I would be delighted if the
United Nations would consider promoting this World Religion
of Love and Light.

New Mind for the New Millennium
During the past three hundred years or so, science and technology have revolutionized human growth. People live longer.
The discoveries and inventions in the field of medicine have
lead to pain reduction, automobiles, air-conditioners, and ever
so many other gadgets that have, no doubt, made our lives
easier. We are still in the process of finding out more things.
However, modern science has failed in one major respect and
that is looking inside the mind machine. Scientists have
stayed away from asking questions about consciousness. For
them it is a gray area and belongs to philosophers. It is very
important that during the new millennium that we pay attention to the mind machine.

Why do we have to pay attention to our mind? It is through
our mind and intellect that we have evolved from ignorant
conditions to intelligent life. I want to maximize the ability of
the brain/mind domain. Right now the brain/mind domain for
most people is at the lowest level. The brain/mind of these
people are producing stupid thoughts nearly in the range of
eighty to ninety percent. We have to stop the brain/mind from
producing stupid thoughts.
I define stupid thoughts as: Unproductive bio-energy that
creates unrewarding, unproductive, and destructive thoughts.
Currently the brain/mind domain is full of Bio-energy fields
with dominant signals of poverty and pessimism.
I have a new view of the brain/mind domain. In fact, my
theory is very old, and I have modernized it for our contemporary use. I can get into a very complex and complicated
discussion about it. But that is not my intention here. For
now, I want to be very practical and will give hands-on
technologies. This book is based on this Theory of Mind:
Ninety percent of our mind is composed of language. If you
pull out languagefrom our mind, there will be very little or no
mind at all. Our next question is, What is mind? Language is a
combination ofsound and meaning. At a very deep level of the
language (pre-thought level), meaning merges in with the
sound in an emotional-ideational complex. Changing the
mind then involves changing the sounds within the mind.
So, the bottom line contention is that if a person is rich, he
or she has prosperity sounds in the brain/mind complex
whether from this lifetime or an earlier one. Conversely, if a
person is poor, his brain/mind is ingrained with poverty sounds.
This is a rule of thumb which applies to every area of life, not
just wealth, but also health, happiness and enlightenment. This
theory could have great impact on education, commerce and
politics.
218

The New Technology Will be Based on Spiritualizing Matter

and Vice Versa
At some time in the future, we may buy sound software to

enhance our mathematical skills or athletic abilities. I have
tested the value of the sounds in this book over a period of two
decades in this lifetime and know first hand that they work. I
have put them into CDs and videotapes. This is the easiest
way to share them with large numbers of people, as I cannot
travel to every city and speak personally to all the people I
would like to help. But you can do homestudy with
enlightened tools, andI will be with you through this book, the
CDs, the videotapes, and any other products I devise in the
future. And of course, I visit people on the dream plane and
am always available for instant contact inwardly to sincere
seekers.
What is going to give the world happiness is a new technology. This new technology will use a higher intelligence. This
higher intelligence is not carved in logic; it is a higher science
and a higher technology that will find a practical application of
Einsteins theory of relativity.
This new technology will give us the missing link between
energy and matter, between spirit and matter. We will know the
clue of how we can make this conversion. Right now it is only
theoretical and mathematical probability. We do not know the
methodology by which we can convert energy into matter or
matter into energy without a lot of destruction.
Once we know how, we will have infinite freedom. The
destiny of Science and Technology in the new millennium will
be in this direction. I will play my role in giving to this new
technology to the world and this new science that will make our
lives easier. I am hopeful that many of you reading this book
will use the tools and experience incontestable, positive results.
As I have said before, the foundation for this new science and technology will be based on practical wisdom that has come to us through
219

times.
For me, they are timeless. The Siddhas have existed forever.
Agastiya whose incarnation I am in this lifetime has incarnated
seventeen times. The historians get confused about the works of
Agastiya; they look at the numerous volumes and volume attributed to Agastiya. They are all written at different time periods,
and yet the Tamil of each is contemporary. The historians
wonder if they are all really by Agastiya or interpolations of
other texts. They wonder if other people wrote something and
then later said this was written by Agastiya, so that their text
will carry some weight. It may have happened in some cases, I
dont rule it out, but then it is also true that Agastiya himself
reincarnated several times, seventeen times or more, and during
each time period he revealed a knowledge, and he used the
contemporary Tamil of that time in order to communicate to
people.
These literatures contain the clue, the missing link, that is
between matter and energy. All other sciences, all other technologies will be open to revision as we incorporate a new, more
profound understanding. We will have to drop off a lot of our
mental constructs, our physical laws, in order to understand this
higher Science.
I was reading Jean Dickson, and a guy who wrote the book
on Jean Dickson had been a newspaper columnist. He records
the predictions made by her. Jean Dickson had a crystal ball
that she looked into. The ball showed her the future. Now I am
referring to this because what is going to be created is similar to
the crystal ball. The question for us is to ask, if Jean Dickson
could do it, why not others? Is there anything special within
the brain of Jean Dickson? Apparently she had the ability to
connect with the crystal ball. The crystal is an energy vortexit
can carry and be a medium of great electromagnetic power. You
can make connections with the crystal, and then you can use
the crystal to see the future and other extraordinary things.
220

Crystal science is a science that belonged to the older civilizations. We have to revive that science because it is truly going to
give us infinite freedom.
Back to the Future
You wont have to sweat so much. The message for the

millennium is that we need to go to the past not to the future!
Not the dim past wherein our consciousness was polluted by
logic, material principles, negative vibrations that create doubt
and so on, but a more ancient past of very ancient wisdoms. We
all know that our modern science and technology is only a few
hundred years old. Within these few hundred years what we
have done is to understand the laws of nature and to develop a
science and technology that would appear to benefit our lives.
However, we have not eliminated suffering. We have not
created anything perfect, everything is relative. Even with our
laser surgery, still we have to go through surgery. It may or may
not work. We are finding it difficult to deal with the process of
aging the pain created by matter.
Matter has dual consciousness: one is tremendous power to
allure, it gives you a sense of false happiness, and every time you
fall prey to this false sense of happiness, there is a price we
paywe are sucked more and more into material laws. Seldom
do we understand the freedom that can happen if you follow
other principles, metaphysical principles, the principles of the
spirit. We have come so far to disbelieve anything that is not
strictly limited to a material description and finite experience.
It is not convincing for the scientifically-oriented to naturally believe in God or Spirit. The life of the spirit is virtually
non-existent in their lives, and it is important that we have to
stop here and analyze if our attitude to life and our
approaches to science and technology have given us happiness
or suffering.It makes tremendously sense to us on a theoretical
level that energy or spirit is much more desirable, is much
more intelli221

gent than matter, but we havent done anything to understand

energy or to understand spirit.
The new technology that I am proposing will give us an
understanding about the domain wherein mind and matter
meet. I want to repeat this: the new technology pertains to the
domain where mind and matter meet. Now they are two separate worlds connected only very, very superficially.
We have not understood the meeting ground of the two
because matter is so gross and slow and the spirit or higher
energy is so fine and swift that it cannot be localized. It is everywhere, but matter is stuck in one place. Yet, we can evolve
matter or spiritualize matter so that matter rises up to the level
of the spirit of the level of the mind or the level of energy where
they can be together at a manifest and an unmanifest level.
When it manifests it becomes matter, and when it unmanifests
it becomes energy.
Einstein, for instance, somebody told me, was the Tamil
Siddha Bogar in a previous lifetime. This makes sense to me
because Bogar, the Tamil Siddha, had great mathematical
understanding and was a scientist. There is a lot of literature
available about him. In the Siddha literature they describe
Bogars attempt to build a ship propelled by steam. Remember,
this is from a very ancient literary source, so it seems plausible
to me that Bogar could have been Einstein. Now Einstein, when
he describes light and matter, says that when light is stopped it
begins to coagulate into matter. It is a tremendous statement. I
was reading Einsteins original writings. He speaks like a mystic
and knows where discursive reasoning can take you to and he
often says that I dont want to go further; it cannot be analyzed
any farther; we have to stop it here. Now light coagulates into
matter and during the coagulation process what happens is that
light becomes dim to an extent that it looses all its radiant
energy and becomes a gross manifestation. It is form being
formed out of non-form or chaos.
Geometry explains the origin of things. You put a dot. It

means you create something, and before then, there was
nothing. The understanding of geometry will provide us
tremendous clues about understanding the relationship between
matter and spirit. The Science of Sacred Geometry, again,
belongs to the old world. Plato described many solids and
liquids through geometrical figures. The Siddhas went one step
further and came up with many geometrical shapes that link
matter and spirit. Some of these geometrical shapes have come
down to us as yantras/
222
223
Geometrical Origins
Divine Intelligence
What really excites me is to be living at this time when we

can provide new spiritual technology to this world and raise it
from its bondage to material existence. This is very, very close to
my heart. Material existence is defined by a low level of intelligencebondage to certain fleeting sensory experience,
bondage to a frozen concept of time which uses the
experience of the past, present, and the future. These are all
hindrances to understanding the divine intelligence. I have
characterized them; I have characterized the nature of the
higher intelligence.
In a previous lifetime when I was Swami Ramalingam, I was
able to demonstrate to myself, to my spirit and to the world at
large that I could transform the various layers of my body into
light molecules and then ascend into the sky. My evolution was
such that even the divine beings were afraid of my evolution; I
even challenged the Hindu gods during my lifetime as Swami
Ramalingam because what I was teaching people was to focus
just on Light. My disciples in that lifetime did not like it, they
thought that I was deep into my ego, nevertheless they were
afraid of me because of the body that I had gained which was
just a luminous body with no substance in it. And here again, I
am teaching you do not need to be Hindu to use the tools to

manifest your goals or to develop a Light Body. I am making

this openly available to sincere spiritual seekers everywhere,
regardless of their religious tradition. Material progress and
enlightenment is not about religion. And if you are religious,
that is fine. I am wishing you well in your Self-Discovery.
Photographers tried to photograph me when I was Swami
Ramalingam after I transformed into the Light Body, but
nothing came through in their photos when they were developed except the clothes that I was wearing on my body.
During a Nadi reading in this lifetime, I was asked to go to
various places connected with me in my past life and these
places were charged with energy. As I went to them, I began to
relive my past lifetime, and it was very important for me to do
that. I was asked at one point to go to a particular temple and
there I was told that I would go to a particular place and there
would be a pool and I have to take some water from the pool
and put it over my head and this is a very ancient temple now
almost abandoned.
I went there, and as it was predicted in the Nadi, a priest was
waiting for me, and he was very cordial. He was an old man,
but he knew exactly about this pool which was far away from
this temple. He explained actually that there is no pool there
now because people have forgotten the tradition, but what is
there instead is a well inside the pool. I managed to get some
water from this well and pour it on my head.
The Nadi predicted that I would remember all my previous
births after having sprinkled this water. And so it happened. It
did not take place immediately, but over a period of a few
months, information about my old lives came to me, and I had
to reconnect myself with those energies and integrate them into
this life.
So, that is how I came to know about my previous births as
the enlightened teachers Agastiya, Manikavacakar and Swami
Ramalingam. While I was Swami Ramalingam in 1874, the
thirtieth of January under the star Pushya, I went into a room

and said that I would be in divine communion with the light. I
gave the message that I would disappear and so I did. But
then, I said I would get the light into the bodies of everybody
because my intention was to give my evolution to everyone so
that they could participate in the Intelligence that has the clue
between matter and energy. I put as much light as I could into
people asthey were receptive to receive at that time.
I have come back now, and I am excited that we have
computers and that the sciences have also evolved. We are
doubly blessed. I am thankful that so many more people seem
receptive and this understanding and are more developed. The
Unites States is a very blessed country, and is best place to
release these teachings. Many of the people who live here are
blessed with a good karma. Some of them may have lived in
Asian countries in past lives and studied yogic arts, but in this
life, they have come to the West. The people of the United
States have really balanced these two energies of matter and
spirit more than any other country.
Washington, DC is a power spot on this earth-plane which
affects the destinies of many countries. The sound V at some
points in history switched in some places over to W. So
Washington starts with the sounds WA-SI or VA-SI. This city is
on a power spot sacred to SI-VA. Someday I will tell the story of
how I learned this.
In fact, the whole earth-plane is controlled out of
Washington, DC. It will continue to be an important power
center, and a technology of a new nature that is going to revolutionize the entire world should appropriately start out of the
United States. Scientists, the government people, and the
Siddhas will come to the same table in order to create the new
technology for this new millennium. I will do my part.

I can give a clue of what is going to be involved in the
creation of this new science and technology. There are five
factors that we are going to study at length which will give us
this new science. There are two pairs the first pair is energy and
matter, the second pair is time and space and along with these
two pairs is consciousness.
We are going to have tremendous understanding about time,
space, energy, matter and the fifth element, consciousness. The
understanding that will happen will result in the study of
consciousness more because consciousness is going to give
what I have been talking about as the missing link between
matter and spirit or matter and energy. Without consciousness
which isintelligence per se, nothing can exist. What I am saying
here isthat we are going to make some important changes within
our intelligence structure that is embedded in our
consciousness, and this change that we do within our mind,
within our brain, will change our concepts of matter and
energy, of time andspace.
Matter and energy, time and space are not independent
concepts. They are subject to our own perception and our own
perception is limited by our own intelligence. If we bring in
more intelligence, then we will have a different idea about
matter and different idea about energy. We will then think that
space is no longer as we thought it to be, the same with time.
It will be so beautiful to have this experience which will give
us incredible freedom and joy. That is true evolution. Einstein,
when talking about reality, says our concept of the reality of the
world including time, and space is dependent on the point of
reference that we bring in. When I was reading Einstein this
made tremendous sense to me, for this is what the Siddhas talk
about as non-referential knowledge. For instance, Thirumualar,
the first Siddha, is someone I have tremendous respect for
226
because I have not known a Siddha who is more knowledgeable,

more intelligent than Thirmular, his knowledge is encyclopedic.
Thirumular talks about the intelligence of Siva, and he makes a
reference to two kinds of intelligence: one concerns those things
which are generally known, and the other refers to those which
are unknown.
The known intelligence or known knowledge is limited;
whatever you can or do know is limited; but whatever you do
not know the meaning of the unknownis limitless, for the
unknown is open-ended. So, there is the known knowledge, and
then there is the knowledge about the unknown. Thirumular
says that Siva (Infinite Intelligence) is beyond this, the known
and the unknown. The unknown is also a category that is under
some conceptual limitation. Siva is beyond the known, beyond the
unknown. Then the question is, What is this intelligence of
Siva? It is the intelligence that is everywhere, that is the known,
the unknown, that which is not the known, that which is not
the unknown and that which is present eternity.
It may appear to be a puzzle to you because the mind cannot
conceive anything that is not logically sensible. The intelligence
that I want to develop for everyone during the coming millennium is Nonreferential Intelligence. With this Intelligence, we
can have everything instantaneously.
Then we will have heaven on earth.
