Bali is one of the most alluring destinations in the world. I was invited to share the gracious path of Himalayan Kriya Yoga with our growing community. The encounters with the purity of gracious transmissions during the events invoked waves of gamma wave transmissions for healing, compassion, bliss, love, harmony, flow and awareness for the participants. This blog is mainly to summarize the essence of the eventful journeys we had together which are truly memorable and worth reminiscing about so that we can truly rekindle the fiery essence to stay aligned on the path for more grace.
The Guru Parampara is alive:
Gorakshanath Babaji the eternal standing pillar of lightning is the guiding force of the Himalayan Kriya Yoga. This intuitively guided path of calibration, celebration and liberation has been a journey of revelation for over 20 years and many lifetimes of sadhana. Owing to its tremendous effect of purification to sustain a disease-free body, its popularity has spread across aspirants across the world. However, there is a possibility that practitioners can often lose track of the finer details when they are not clarified through interaction with the Guru. A small degree of deviation or confusion or aberration in the practice can throw us off-track. The emphasis is to enable all sincere aspirants to remain devoted, determined, connected, and aligned to the path of work. The Himalayan Kriya Yoga movement has gathered momentum in the sacred land of Bali owing to the efforts of the revered teacher Samten. It was her deep intent to emphasize the importance of the student connection and interaction with the Guru lineage.
Bali, the pearl drop on eternity:
I had heard about the magic of Bali but only divine timing could usher me to this mystical master grid space where Shiva-Shakti is showering unceasingly. Everything happens by divine will once we surrender our individuated will. The master conspiracy is far beyond our capacity to plan, strategize and imagine the events that will unfurl to magnetize us into a state of divine bliss. I have been living on the trust to expect the unexpected. If everything happens for the highest good, then why wonder what is going to unfold? To be stunned by the romance of life permeating us is by itself a gift of the beyond. Bali is a charm that remains largely mystical and unexplored to the tourist segment. Thankfully I was welcomed and ushered to those little-known spaces that are beyond the scope of most tourists. When I landed at the airport in Denpasar, I was pleasantly surprised by the downpour of energy that welcomed me. The air was fragrant and it was the presence of so many beings who were excited to celebrate the spirit of Bali with me and my friends.
The drive to the forest retreat space in Tabanan was beyond words. I cannot live without music and especially those long drives in the car are unimaginable without my Apple lossless music playlist played at full volume. I miss my Valve car stereo but somehow make peace with what I can find along the way. My friends are so eager to listen to the latest playlist and it is always a true pleasure to enable more sonic bliss to loved ones everywhere with the purest music one can gather. The first glimpse of Bali stunned me. The sculptures of gods, masters, and goddesses dotting the streets remind you of the holiness that streams through these humble artists. The people of Bali have honour in their hearts. Their gleaming faces, pure-hearted smiles, dexterous hands, servile attitude and devotion are a reminder to all the global citizens of what it takes to live joyously while honouring nature. The streets are clean and the fragrance of flowers and incense permeates the air and instills a sense of devotion. It is hard to find a multitude of populace with a clear conscience towards upholding their culture, tradition, and devotion and the spirit of Bali remains unstained and exemplary. It is not eroded despite the influx of hundreds of thousands of foreigners. Their unshakeable honour in their tradition urges foreigners to adopt to speak their language and admire their ways of living. It is infectious to smile and greet strangers on the street. It doesn’t happen in most places of the world which have been corrupted into bloated stiffness and hostility.
Bali not long ago was a part of the vast Indian Sub-continent called “Bharata Khanda”. The expansive influence of the ways of Sanatana Dharma (eternal code of life) instilled spiritual quest, peace, art, dance, devotion, and honour for earthlings. While most of the global citizens are swayed in the direction of corporate slavery and power games, Bali somehow manages to remain loyal to its purity of spiritual heritage. They are undeterred and inspired by their simplicity and humility. Indonesia is the 4th largest population and is bursting at its seams in its toxic city lives. One visit to Jakarta will give you a reminder of what a human population explosion means. It is not different from the trajectory of most modern cities. India is almost facing a dead-lock of a choked, stinking, distorted and frustrating lifestyle that is infamously stated as ‘chaotic order’. Everything is not rosy in Bali, as the people in power are trying to hurt the vulnerable ones. Yet somehow it sustains its beauty, charm, and magnetism and draws skilled, good-hearted people to celebrate the human spirit.
Meanwhile try to explore the magnetic waterfalls, river streams, volcanic mountain tops, hot water springs, exotic beaches, street life and live music. At the end of this blog, I will list a few places one cannot miss while being in Bali.
Mystical Himalayan Kriya Yoga Retreat at Tabanan: 28 Feb -05 March 2023
Master Energy Grids are consecrated sites where cosmic photon bands of light congregate, converge and calibrate the vibrational frequency of elemental forces, and receptive instruments to switch to its cosmic rhythm. It reflects an ascension of spiritual awareness, expansive heart flow, and bliss waves and attracts transmissions of cosmic gamma waves. It is a rarity that such energy grids mostly exist along the ‘Van Allen Belt’ and spiritually consecrated spaces on our planet. However, an awakened being can invoke and recalibrate a dormant space in accordance with the sacred grid lines with the process of directing energy to shift vibrational frequency. In the pure stillness and silence of an awakened being, the grid energy realigns to its magnetic presence and aligns with the blessings of Ascended Beings to raise the vibrational frequency for spiritual progress. It is a combination of grace and creative intelligence, intensified intent and our surrendered actions that enabled us to celebrate our six -days of intensive immersion into the spiritual science through Himalayan Kriya Yoga.
When I walked into the ‘Yoga Shala’ hall which is a well-ventilated, bamboo structure, I found it in a scattered state of energy dispersion despite being wrapped in pristine nature. Even the ‘Bose Active Speakers’ that were installed there sounded distorted during the music preview. That evening, I started integrating the grid energy to align the space of the retreat, including its surrounding paddy fields, villas, yoga shala, bhoga shala. The next morning, we woke up to an incredibly crystalline grid that is emanating an intensive field of energy. The music sounded transparent, dynamic, intricate,
Getting to know the amazing bunch of aspirants from different walks of life was intriguing. Each day unfurled a new dimension of possibilities. One cannot be trapped in the predictabilities of what a kriya path can offer. Exploring the unchartered territories of the spiritual dimension in the presence, guidance, and energy transmissions of a Realized Being is blissful and makes it worthwhile as it results in accelerated progression.
The depth of music that flowed along with the precious Gamma Wave transmissions weaved the magic of inspiring them all to immerse in the progressive journey. We witnessed a wave of purging, and energetic uprisings as emotions reached their pinnacle. The floodgates of tears of gratitude, compassion, pain, bliss and laughter are impossible to be restrained in an environment that is conducive to freedom of expression. Each of the 40 participants was thankfully in a state of acceptance, readiness, trust and acceptance that enabled them to truly switch into a state of bliss and unbridled celebration. Every evening, the kriya yoga intensive transcended into a wave of wild dancing and the group energy was beautiful, magnetic, and so deeply endearing to involve and witness.
All inhibitions, resistances, emotional turbulences, and reservations can fall off when we are in the company of a genuinely compassionate soul family. Such connections are rare but it is possible to be in synchronicity and we attract such beings who truly live up to the purity of celebration in the moment. A yogic ascension process that is devoid of perfectionism, measurement, comparison, judgement, pressure or expectations contributes to more readiness, and receptivity and results in alignment for realizations. The magnitude of rising collectively as a strongly bonded family is pulsating, palpable and a stark reminder that we are all responsible for our thoughts, words, actions, and movements that govern our alignment.
When logic fails, the magic is meant to unleash and surprise us with pleasant revelations. We are meant to be astounded into pure inner silence and stillness as a reward for all the dynamics of sacred geometric movements. There is no room for lethargy, heaviness and procrastination in this intensive path work. We are in the glare of those eyes that is unceasingly watching over us. The escapologists would shudder to know that there is no point in hiding, running away. It is now or never. The sense of urgency leads to an energetic surge which converges into the core of magnetic power head in the brain and heart.
Cosmic Grace is the defining aspect, the true game changer. We deserve to absorb the benefits of being on the radar of gracious ‘Ascended Beings’ so that we can access the gamma waves that usher us into a state of unity awareness and purification. Our lives are transformed at the speed at which we decode the cosmic messages passing through us as light codes and apply them for the realization of the cosmic self. With awareness, we can switch from ordinary breathing techniques to the potent ‘cosmic rhythm’. This is the true game changer. The whole retreat was buzzing with frog and bird orchestra, light beings, cosmic whispers, angelic interventions, stunning cloud formations, magical lotuses blooming in accordance to the Sun and Moon movement, and every life form around came truly alive to its peak expression. One can witness how clicking into the romance of life can be so easily absorbed when we are in alignment with the mind-body spirit with the core of the soul.
The Shiva Temple Ecstasy: 6 March 2023
Samten Ji, one of my most ardent and dedicated students who has been selflessly teaching and guiding many aspirants on the path of Himalayan Kriya Yoga in Bali and worldwide, had an interesting incident to share 2 years ago. She encountered a vibrant Shiva temple in a forest in Bali. Only a few local people know of this devoted community who have sustained this consecrated space with relentless service and integrity. Samten ji was excited to share with me that the temple was open to our Kriya yoga community to conduct a Full Moon Ceremony with Kriya and prayers. A large group of us reached the temple space that morning, I was surprised to see a receptive bunch of trustees and devotees. It was so heart-rendering to witness their level of devotion, trust and surrender. We all had goosebumps when they started singing. It was my first experience of Balinese devotional singing. Our hearts swelled with gratitude and tears welled.
We intended to do a kriya yoga session in the open. I was sensing it would be extraordinary but did not realize how the divine beings had conceived the event. We joined hands and formed a sacred Mandala and I began to chant. In a few minutes, a massive cloud burst unleashed a rain shower. As per the Himalayan yogic tradition, we consider it a huge blessing to do kriya yoga in the rain. I assured them that they are energetically protected and there was no reason to run away. Only a hint of doubt or programmed fear of getting drenched often leads us to become vulnerable to catching a cold. The shower progressively gathered more ferocity and that’s when I suggested all of them to run around the Ganesha Idol. Thankfully all of them gleefully welcomed it. The buzz of gamma waves, mantra chanting, and the joy of family coming together to contribute to the collective awareness will always be etched in the memory. Meanwhile, the energies were building up with excitement, passion, devotion, and gratitude that permeated all of us. The Pradakshina Running gathered a rhythmic momentum. We ran for almost an hour with no sign of tiredness. It was such a deep process of karmic cleansing to do a Pradakshina (circling) around the consecrated ‘Ganesha’ Idol. When we came to a standstill, the fire within us was drying the wetness. ‘Kriya-Anytime-Anywhere’ is our way of living that has contributed to a fit, aligned, blissful, celebrative global kriya soul family. The indomitable spirit rising progressively overrides life challenges and enables us to burn the karmic memories and helps us to dissolve suffering, pain, diseases, ignorance and resistance that come in the way of liberation. The more we calibrate, the more we celebrate and invoke the gracious transmissions from ascended beings for liberation.
The Divinity of Indian Classical Music: 06 April 2023: Ubud
Music is the most potent drug ever known and the bridge to divinity. Celestial Music has grammar, meter, grammar, devotional content, sacred syllables, melody, and rhythm that enables the gifted musicians to render the purity of rendition. We were blessed to be listening to the live rendition of the ‘Santoor’ by Shri ‘Deepak Ullal’ and accompanied by Shri ‘Garud’ on the Tabla. A global audience sat in stunned silence absorbing the melodious strains of Santoor. Deepak ji played the soulful ‘Raga Keerwani’ and ushered us into raptures of ‘Sonic Bliss’. Santoor is such an intricately feminine instrument that it loses tuning with the slightest breeze or change in atmospheric temperature. Deepak ji is an adept who understands the subtlest nuances of the scales and notes and rhythm, while he weaves the rare melodies while extracting the essence of chosen Raga from the ocean called Hindustani Classical Music. We had overshot the timelines for the event, but the audience was all ready to wrap up more. ‘Garud ji’ unravelled the language of Tabla, the Indian classical drum that never ceases to amaze when in the hands of a Maestro.
It was then time for the phenomenally gifted ‘Poorvi Garud’ to permeate us with the ‘Raga Bhimpalasi’. We are so blessed to listen to this soulful goddess in her elements. I was fortunate to find a space next to her as she rendered the Raga with such improvisations, subtlety, and flow. The alap, alankara, sargam, gamaka took us into a celestial dimension. The tears rolled down unceasingly in pure gratitude. I have watched Poorvi grow into a revered artist. It has been a profound journey of self-belief and countless hours of practice that enables her to truly extract the gifts that are wrapped within her. It is hard to describe how it felt as she finally rendered the classic “Main Giridhar Ke Ghar Jaoon”, a devotional Bhajan for Lord ‘Shri Krishna’. Mira Bai, the greatest known devotee of Shri Krishna, had sung this in heightened emotional longing. Poorvi scaled new musical heights with this melodious rendition and reminded us of the skill, gift, and talent required to sustain this subtle ‘ shruti’ (microtones) to invoke the streams of celestial transmissions. The singer must remain undeterred and not get carried away by emotions. It is the state of Upasana, a meditative prayer that requires one to be loyal to the scales, melody, rhythm, micro tones and notes. The depth of satisfaction of performance often eludes the singer or musician often in the quest for perfection. We are meant to be imperfectly perfect and meant to offer our creative expression with the deepest calibrated effort, devotion, dedication and intent. The profundity and purity of Indian Classical Musical performances deeply impacted the listeners. It is a joy to witness the expression of gratitude and admiration in their eyes. Behind the success of events are those tireless and selfless beings who envision and ensure the smooth unfurling of the event flow.
Whole Brain Activation:
Modern-day work-lifestyle choices have often reduced Humans to using only 15 per cent of their brain capacity in a lifetime of predictable patterns, ritualistic lifestyles and programmed mind games. It takes courage to break free from negative stress, negative emotions, distortions, the pain of separation, suffering, delusions, and hallucinations that often show up along the ascension path of awareness. It is possible to realign, calibrate, and attune the gut-heart-brain neuron network to achieve unity awareness, neural synchrony, vibrancies, essence, boundless bliss and freedom. A newbie to this activation process will have to drop resistance and stay open, ready in a state of adaptivity, and acceptance to diligently rise above the rigidity of the ‘reference library’ which is our deeply embedded knowledge database based on exploration, experience, emotions, education, culture, rituals, belief, tradition, ideals, protocols, and so on. Our faculty of awareness is often playing games with crowded imagination, distorted thinking patterns and daydreams. The glaring phase lag between intent and action is widening and frustrating. We need a profound ‘prana uprising’ to bridge the gap in gut-heart-brain coherence, neural synchrony, wholesomeness, intra-personal communication, spiritual awareness, design integrity, understanding and realization. We all deserve to experience and eventually realize the full-blown intensity of the elemental flow to access the fullness of the human design to its blueprint.
Our brain is a celestial playground which is a like miniature masterpiece to experience the galaxies of stars as a harmonious and illumined Brahma Jyothi. It can barely manage 200 mv of current and hence it can be termed as a fragile, and yet profoundly receptive device that is operating over 4000 split-second processes in a stunningly noise-free mechanism. Its baffling neuron circuitry is forever learning new pathways and storing new learning. At the core of the design is the ability to remember, which is actually based on the soul’s involvement to engage the Hypothalamus to its fullest extent to convert a thought into a powerful emotion and expression. A calibrated brain is a trans-receiver of the cosmos that is capable of absorbing and radiating the human emotion of gratitude, love, compassion, and surrender to the source -the Geometer that is directing the sacred geometric flows for calibration. It is evident that calibration leads to the celebration of boundless bliss, causeless laughter, magnetic stillness, explosive spiritual orgasms, and elemental flows for a disease-free mind-body. The neurons in the gut-brain-heart are in communion. It is inevitable that we realize that deep alignment is of the synchronous pulsations of these triune. The whole energetic structure of the body aligns with the ellipsoid soul instrument called the “Atma Lingam”, the heart core. Alignment of the Heart Assemblage Point is the key to overall structural integrity with the DNA blueprint, emotional balance, and feeling of bliss, and enables coherence. The brain cannot be separately administered as an individuated organ. The state of a purified, cultured, and alkaline gut radiates waves of bliss into the brain.
The Whole Brain Activation process that we have absorbed in the process of yogic calibration, purification, alignment, and attunement to empower the brain to its highest expression. The Himalayan Kriya Intensive techniques combine a combination of dynamic bodily movement, intensive and intricate breathing techniques, chanting seed syllables, aligning to the vertical spinal axis, zero field magnetism, activating nitric oxide and nitrous oxide, activating the monocrystalline silicone in the pineal gland and accessing the gamma wave transmissions in the mid-brain. The 200 billion neurons in the brain eventually click into a state of supra-consciousness and radiate the ecstatic sparkling brilliance expression as it aligns as a star portal. When all of them spark together in unison, it ignites an atomic explosion which is harmless This is the ‘neural synchrony’, a sought-after state that enlivens and awakens one to maximize the potential of the brain to its balanced, coherent, and receptive to the universal and cosmic beams of photons that are channelled from the Sun and Gamma Waves from the Ascended Beings.
The Brain Awakening session at ‘Swasti’ was intensely intrinsic and powerful. There were many newbies in the group who seemed keen to explore this intricate yogic way to awaken the brain to its higher potential. We used the yogic techniques of Nada Yoga, Himalayan Kriya Yoga and Swarodaya to unlock the subtlety of the micro-breath, cosmic rhythm, and prana activation through the brain neuron network. Through subtle variations in the movement of eyes, micro-breath, micro-tones of Sanskrit syllables, and meditative focus, one can learn to stimulate the Gamma Wave, the 7th brain wave that is oscillating between the pre-frontal lobe and occipital lobe at a frequency of 40 times a second.
Gamma wave in its ecstatic flow can be the game changer in terms of the impact of converting our intent into action. Mastery is a path of consistent and intelligent adaptiveness to the ever-changing life scenarios, elemental uprising, photonic receptivity, vacuum shift, cosmic interventions to stay ever-ready for transmutations, DNA strand upgradation, crystalline attunement, the polymorphic dance of atoms into its sacred geometric transformation. It also emphasizes our deepest integrity to uni pointedness of sustaining the sacred geometric flow to an enhanced and protective Auric field fed by electromagnetism. More importantly, the brain switches to its occipital portals for radiating compassion. To move from self-glory oriented to an expansive state of selflessness is appreciative of the bodily design that is meant to be a powerful trans-receiver and relay the cosmic transmissions. The higher the frequency of the bodily vibrational field, the further the magnetic reach. It is a fact that EMF travels faster than the speed of light. In an awakened state, we are capable of relaying EMF to reach out to all our sentient connections and extend it to multi-universal dimensions of existence.
Most of the aspirants that were receptive could feel the immense gamma wave transmissions that were more prominent in the state of “yoga nidra”. They finally woke up to feel a remarkably brighter, lighter, flowing state of being. In the Himalayan Kriya Yoga path, we work towards enhancing our deserving levels to receive gracious transmissions by alignment, trust, surrender, and devotion, and dedicate our journey to the ascension of awareness.
THE KRIYA INTENSIVE: 6 days of Immersion
The Kriya Soul Family in Bali is vibrant and ready to absorb the science and calibration of Himalayan Kriya Yoga. They have been sincere and dedicated to the path work and were welcomed to take up this intensive program. Our session began the moment, we walked towards the profound Shiva Temple in the morning. The singing birds, the buzz of bees in the air and the pure joy of walking in nature with our soul family is precious in themselves. As we reached the sanctorum of the temple, an electric ambience welcomed us. The forest energy is always palpable and invokes a feeling of freshness. One cannot ignore the presence of the mischievous Monkey Army lurching around the temple site. They must have sensed the mystical presence of the Masters who were directing the event.
Surya Vigyan, the science of absorbing the Sun is a profound way of absorbing the enriching photonic beams from the Sun. Sun is our living God as it is the source of Prana, the life force that permeates all of us. Prana is directed through the body by the Divine Mother. It is like a universal engine with a sound of a cosmic drone that keeps the continuum of life streams. The life force is attracted into the body by the magnetic presence of the Soul. The Mother is breathing through us and upscaling the awareness and prana streams by activating the kundalini shakti.
The practice of Surya Vigyan is a profound way to absorb the micro streams of Surya Kanti, the potent light codes emanating through the rays which transmit the Prana, the photons the life force that powers our body as it streams through the portals, neuron channels and nadis within us. The beams carry the healing ‘gamma waves’ and the potent ‘helium’ that empowers the body to feel the lightness and the spirit uprising. It activates the ‘uddana vayu’ and reinstates the connection with the Sun.
It is a stark reminder that 93 per cent of our body is helium and the Sun is 93 million miles away and selflessly, ceaselessly, blissfully, effortlessly burning the Hydrogen and empowering trillions of life forms across the solar galaxy. Our bodies can absorb all the necessary photonic energy, minerals and essential bodily nutrients through the solar beam. However, since we have switched over to earthly food for nutrition. At the temple site, we were blessed enough to find an ideal flat space around a large ‘Lord Ganesha’ stone idol. The sun’s rays permeated between the gaps in the leaves and branches of a few ancient trees. It was just right for us to absorb the rays while doing special kriya yoga techniques. the yogic ways to access the gifts of being solar-powered.
Ignorance, fear and mistrust have to be dissolved to absorb the enriching streams, light codes, and healing waves passing through the photonic beams. Thankfully all of us were ready to absorb and the sessions gathered momentum. The intensity of kriya entered into new possibilities. The fact is that I have never taught any repetitive kriya pattern. Each session unfurls a creative angle and approach to dissolve karmic limitations in the mind-body. The consecrated space added more depth to the state of being. It urged us to dive deeper and inspired us to be immersed in surrendered action.
Those with awakened third eye saw crazy downpours of Master transmissions passing as light codes, sacred geometric patterns and vibrant spherical, micro strands and orbs. The cosmic sounds in varying frequencies were circling around and permeating the auric field. The bliss of the beyond poured into us as I loudly chanted the ‘Maha Sandarshana Mantra’, which is a pure download into me. I have never formally learnt Sanskrit, scriptures or had any live Guru to guide me. This profound Mantra was downloaded into me as a gift from Ascended Beings. It unfurls the expression of a deep offering of gratitude to all the dimensions of existence and ascended ones. It invokes devotion, surrendered action, and pure receptivity. I have seen a profound impact on many sadhakas who are absorbing these transmissions in our online live sessions on FB. However, when aspirants are in my presence, the impact is ushering their state of being into stillness, silence, ecstatic bliss and laughter.
The after-effects of our intensive sadhana were felt by everyone in the group. Our bodies were radiating a golden glow and fragrant sweat oozed from every pore in the skin. The eyes had grasped the precious beams and the faces were radiant with bliss waves. We exchanged smiles and celebrated with yogic banter. The second half of the session was scheduled at a resort nearby. There was excitement in the air as they were eager to absorb the yogic wisdom and unravel the mystical aspect of the spiritual path to realization. It is an honour to share this wisdom with ready ones. I can sense it in their body language, languid eyes, and their listening and absorbing abilities. Interestingly I encountered an ex-NASA scientist in the group who I was told is hard to convince. It was heartening to see him with twinkling eyes absorb the nuances of spiritual science. The intellect that was magnetically stilled managed to collapse into the heart. The magic had begun to unfurl. After the session of day one, he met the in a restaurant in Ubud. Just by being in acceptance and trust, his heart had blossomed and welcomed an amazingly beautiful being. We all welcomed her into the sessions and it contributed to more magic around for blossoming hearts.
Love is divinity. It radiates godliness. There is no room for ego in love. The deepest remembrance that can enlighten us is “Minds clash. Hearts connect and souls unite”. We can spend hours of kriya practice, however, if we are not aligned in the heart, we can ruin it all with ego battles. True knowledge is in its application. This is the wisdom that chaffs out the distortions in our understanding and accelerates our spiritual progression into realization. The wisdom-sharing sessions were supercharged with cosmic transmissions and guidance as always. Florence, our dearest Monk collapsed on the floor in a reverie. For a few hours, her body was permeated with sacred transmissions that made her absorbed in stillness. Eventually, when it was time for us to leave the hall, I had to work on her Nadis for over 30 minutes to bring her back into bodily awareness. When she finally came alive to our world, it was a sight to behold. Tears of gratitude flowed profusely through her. Just watching her bloom in spiritual awareness, roaring laughter and wide-eyed astonishment was a treat in itself. Innocence is the highest human emotion and is the purest state that radiates in a child-like state. Intellect can often set us on a path to self-glory. The sign of intelligence is when we allow surrender and collapse to happen and celebrate simplicity, humility, clarity and humanness. It sets alive the eternal connection with divinity.
After each session, the soul family was treated to some exotic music. We had installed a Bose Professional audio system. I watched in a deep sense of satisfaction as I saw the magic of love mystically weaving their hearts. The coming together of people from different walks and stages of life and then discovering their common thread that weaves spiritual hearts into a harmony of souls is truly blissful and memorable. The family travelled together every evening on bikes to beautiful restaurants. The laughter, banter, music, hugs, and fun continued to keep our gathering in pure bliss. Aspirants who had planned to stay in Bali for a week ended up staying for a month and extended it. The outpouring of gratitude and compassion is good enough a sign of the success of pure spiritual path work. The heart in place makes all the difference for the grace to permeate and set everything in flow.
Enlightenment is not an attainment. It is the continuum of deepest remembrance of our origin, source, connections, and the ability to remain consistent by rising above the illusions and illuminating the dark elements within us and dissolving karmic residual and liberating into a state of zero field magnetism and nothingness. We are already enlightened as a soul in its state of completion. The journey of this grand Mahaleela is that ‘ONE’, the supreme soul has become ‘Many’ individuated souls. The journey of the ‘Many’ to become ‘ONE’ again is the joke of the cosmos. The projection of bodies is meant to be gathered into constant integrated and unity awareness.
Sonic Bliss at Sound Dome: Naya Veda Vastu
The universe has emerged out of the Pranava, the Universal Drone Sound of Omkara. Creation is in the state of continuum and the Big Bang Explosions continue to create more universes. It is the Divine Order and Supreme Will that directs the unity consciousness to permeate everything in dimensions of existence and beyond. If everything is based on the science of sound waves aligning the energy with its Matrix, it is imperative that we practice the science of Nada Yoga which enables us to purify and culture the human voice to sing the subtle notes, scales, and micro-tones.
The important aspect is to remember to keep our portals of listening devices in the heart, ears, pre-auditory cortex and hypothalamus in a state of calibration so that one can listen, absorb and decode the cosmic sounds.
The heart centre absorbs the unstruck cosmic sounds, while the brain absorbs the ambient sounds. The sonic bliss waves are generated when we extract the essence of Nada Yoga. For instance, the purity of the tonality, pitch, scale, and improvisations while chanting the sacred Sanskrit syllables can influence the polymorphic dance of the DNA. The difference between Nada Yoga and Mantra Yoga is its technique and application. Mantra yoga is a combination of Vedic hymns, tantric, and Shakti syllables which when chanted to a specific meter, rhythm and precise pronunciation can enable one to experience the energy uprising, explosiveness, and eventually reward us with a state of divine union. The driving force is the depth of devotion which defines the level of immersion. Training the voice, and accessing musical skills is key to Nada Yoga. Nadopasana is a meditative prayer offered to the elemental force, the guru, and the source as a melodious and rhythmic offering. When we render such precious expression, our state of being is shifted instantly. We also become more deserving to gather the gifts of the cosmos which are pouring into an aligned instrument. We can unlock the 28-star portals which can lead to a glorious spiralling energy dance within to enhance the core of DNA expression to calibrate the human design to its divinity.
Aware beings in every dimension realize that using the right micro tones one can get access to various dimensional masters, unlock light codes, and elemental goddess energies, and it serves as a golden gate pass to enter into light dimensions. It makes sense only when we think beyond the human craving for earthly pleasures and realize the larger picture. Grace is the game changer and we can align ourselves faster with Nada Yoga to access it.
Naya Veda Vastu Eco Resort is one of the most intriguing spaces for expounding Nada Yoga. The Sound Dome is precious owing to its precision-based sacred geometric structure that enables phenomenal reverberations. Acoustic treatment is not needed as the sound is meant to bounce its way into the dome structure and amplify the subtlest of whispers rendered under the dome head. The structure is 9 meters in diameter and 9 meters in height. I felt like a curious child in a toy shop as I wondered how much one can explore the vocal horizon in this magnificent space. The first Nada session we had in this zone was not satisfactory to me as my throat was sore. I barely managed to sustain the notes long enough. A few aberrations meant a glaring deviation. We can only give our best and then leave it to the rest. People did feel a huge energy shift in them which was solace
One has to explore vocal dexterity with tremendous discipline, and sonic awareness in such sound-reflective domes. The attendees who were able to tune in, could feel the sound waves permeating them and induced a electric flow in the body. Their faces glowed in gratitude. I promised them that I will be back with a bang when I feel my throat in top gear to unfurl the true magic of Nadopasana, the meditative chanting. Thankfully, as per divine timing, I got this opportunity to appear in this space to render whatever was meant to flow through me. Rarely do I ever feel a sense of satisfaction after the Nada session, like the way I felt in this event. I am not a trained singer, and somehow the grammar of music eludes me. I laughingly call it the missing neuron pathways. Somehow, the grace of Maa Saraswati always does its magic when we are in deepest surrender. The voice is guided to resonate deeper and makes a huge impact on a ready and receptive heart that absorbs it. It clarifies that its only grace that takes us to the elemental depth and adds the component of divinity in every expression.
I can only thank my family for the musical awareness they transmitted and my constant endeavour to remain loyal to the purity of sound and scales that are passing through me. The Nada sessions are guided and the energy transmissions itself is enough of a reason for people to be attending. It is important to know my limitations and how I can progressively warm the vocal cord and upscale the offering. I am nowhere near where I want to be as the summit of Nada Yoga is enticing and urging me to climb blissfully. The sheer intensity of bliss that permeated the dome prompted the architect and owner to comment that they were privileged to host this session. The cosmic sounds showered on all of us and people were stoned into stillness. It is a huge blessing to be immersed in this path. I promise to work towards deepening the effort and delivering a more profound experience to every audience that appears for such events. More grace of Maa Saraswati will empower us to access the heights of nada yoga.
Connecting with the HKY Global Teacher Network:
Samten ji my long-time devoted student has truly made a phenomenal effort in spreading the teachings of Himalayan Kriya Yoga to aspirants across the globe. I was pleasantly surprised to know that she has groomed 85 certified teachers. They have heard about me and Kevala Foundation, and I have known a few of them.
Samten ji organized an online Zoom meeting with these teachers to familiarize them with the true essence of connecting with an authentic Babaji-Guru tradition and the subtleties of sharing the science of Kriya yoga. We answered queries ranging from classroom approach, problem-solving and simplifying ways to make it easier and more progressive for students and teachers. The session went on for almost 4 hours and the waves of transmissions were massive. It was so amazing to watch many bright practitioners online and hear about their experiences of teaching the science of HKY.
The session was hosted at the serene and beautiful home of our student Candice. At the end of the event, Samten ji asked me to chant. I chanted the Mrythunjaya mantra in a raga Bhoopali. The microtones and notes permeated and stirred the hearts of listeners. The sky was bathed in the crimson glow of the setting Sun, and the ambience was permeated with bliss and immersive silence. An immense wave of gratitude hit us all for being a part of this soul family.
Pure Alignment Sessions:
The technique of Pure Alignment has been a progressive way to recalibrate and align aspirants who want to experience the purity of gracious flow and a disease-free state. The intricate process that I have developed over the years after aligning thousands of aspirants. It involves processes to streamline over 84 bodily Marmani points, the 28 Star portals, and the Nadis, and align the body to its crystalline structural integrity, heart assemblage, coherence, vertical axis, and pranic flow. The human body is defined by the integrity of the 7 bodies which finally projects through the physical body as a bright, glowing, light, grounded and streamlined hollow pipeline channel of the source.
It is an honour to learn how energy dynamics can be magnetically aligned through gracious intervention. We have to intelligently and intuitively prepare ourselves for pure alignment which enables us to attract and stay empowered by gracious transmissions.
Florence, the ultimate monk had arranged for many individual alignment sessions that kept me super busy in the mornings and post-events. It is her selfless service that kept in deep gratitude and inspired me in these tight schedules. Thankfully I saw gleaming and blissed-out people as they allowed themselves to be healed.
Every night, when I was ready to crash into the bed, I was ushered by our dear Krishna who volunteered to work on my spinal scoliosis. With all the work that I did during the day, there was a bit of stiffness and he had his way of aligning through yogic therapy which was effective and intriguing. It was almost midnight when he would finish aligning me. Lying on the bed after the session would transport me into a higher dimension as the spinal flow would reach ecstatic heights. In gratitude to dear Krishna for his selfless service. I am in deepest gratitude for the daily healing sessions that Florence, Neetu, Nina, Vasilisa and Rajkumar would so lovingly do to keep me in high levels of readiness to serve. No words are good enough to express my deepest gratitude to all our tireless and endearing Kriya family that continues to serve with all their hearts brimming with compassion.
Discovering Bali:
In the midst of all our hectic schedules, our dear soul family ensured that we could find that little gap in between to get a sneak glimpse of magical waterfalls, riverside restaurants, and little-known cafes, and spend evenings in the famous Sayuri to enjoy live music performances. The Bali what tourists get to know is slightly different when a local friend decides to surprise you. Krishna, the Bali-based yogi is some kind of a genius. He has spent just 8 months in this gorgeous land and he has discovered places that did not feature on tourist maps. His zeal is infectious and it is only his mysterious magnetism that makes him attract strangers to become instant friends. I am thrilled to meet people who are simple, loving, humble and pure-hearted. It makes travels and interactions so blissful when surrounded by such genuine beings as we have in our soul family.
We attended live music performances every evening. Ubud is one of the most exciting towns that blends nature, international cuisine, street art and live entertainment. Just walking the street is enough to keep one entertained. There is so much to observe and absorb that an avid ‘people watcher’ will be spoilt for choice. The vibrancy of Bali is mainly alive owing to the attitude of its locals. The ever-smiling, loyal, courteous, servile, devoted, religious Balinese have kept their culture uncorrupted despite being one of the most buzzing global destinations. This attitude has rubbed off on the tourists too. I have never seen a more smiling bunch of people like in Bali.
The locals instil a sense of responsibility towards nature, the environment, art, and skills and it reminds the global denizens of what they have lost in the greed for industrialization and consumerism. The real estate hawks are trying hard to change the skyscape of Bali. We can only pray that all the potent elemental gods and entities that guard this island will protect its rich heritage by guiding the locals to remain uncorrupted by greed. Bali will lose its charm if they sabotage the abundance which lies in its herbs, farmland, waterfalls, rivers, flowers, forests and handicraft industry. I missed visiting Mount Agung, and Mount Bromo on this trip. It kept reminding me that I will have to find more free time on my next visit.
The soul of Bali is mystically blissful and the abundance is beyond description. The romance of nature, the wafting fragrance of flowers, and incense have a profound impact on uplifting the mood. The locals are strikingly attractive because of their courteousness, friendly attitude, work ethics, radiant faces, and innate beauty that is owing to nourishment, cultured genetics, and spiritual heritage. Music is an integral part of Bali’s culture. Their melodious voices and rhythmic sense permeate the heart easily. I have never seen such a devoted local population. Their sincerity brims the heart. Most people who visit here, feel like they belong here. I stayed in Bali for a month and feel it’s a like a second home already.
In deepest gratitude to Flo (ultimate monk), Amira, Luca, Rajkumar, Krishna, Nina, Lisa, and Neetu who did everything possible to enable the event to happen and flow like a blissful river.
