AATHMAN AWARENESS CENTRE

All the experiences cited below are only due to the pure grace of our Master. Without it, we would not have glimpsed even a shadow of the experiences.

The first day we boarded the flight to Delhi and subsequently to Nepal and we reached Katmandu around 2 pm. Our master told us on reaching that Katmandu was a tantric place and we could find that the atmosphere was mystic and enchanting.

We found a good lodge for stay and the first day went without a visit to any of the holy places.

 In the morning went to Buddha nilkanta where we could find the huge deity of Sri Narayana on top of the snake Adisesha; Here the God is also known as Buddha because of the serene face and also as Lord Shiva and Krishna since the deity resembles all of them in some aspects. The temple was lively and our Master felt the presence of Swami. We met an old lady who was sitting beside a rudraksha tree and collecting the rudrakshas. She gave us a few, explained about them. She was looking quite different from the masses and appeared to be cast by some divine spell.

After that, we moved from the base of the shivapuri hill, where Buddha nilkanta is located and moved on to pashupatinath. We found that pashupatinath was closed and our Master and we visited Sri Bhuvaneswari; an ancient shaktipeeth near pashupatinath. Our Master entered the temple; though the sanctum of the temple was closed; the temple was still open to visitors.

On entering, we could find that the space carried a deep ancientness in it. On entering a sweet and old fragrance was coming from within the temple. At that time a pigeon walked and came very close to our Master almost touching Him. Its eyes were luminous and were conveying something to Him.

 Our master indicated us to sit in meditation and He also sat in meditation. We could find that the fragrance spreading if people come near the sanctum to worship the divine mother. After meditating for about 20 minutes, an inner meeting happened between Sri Bhuvaneshwari and our Master. When we were about to leave, we were surprised to find that the fragrance had completely disappeared and the temple which was very lively and enchanting bore a very ordinary look. Our Master told that the Goddess had been waiting for centuries. We interpreted that the Goddess had been waiting for centuries to see an enlightened master who is the rarest to see in this world. After coming out of the temple we heard that the temple was older than pashupatinath temple.

In the morning after having a good night sleep we took a flight tour of Mount Everest of the great Himalayas. We saw all the great mountain ranges along with Mount Everest. But Mount Everest was not snow capped and looked barren and we heard that it was due to global warming. After completing it and having our breakfast we headed directly towards pashupatinath. The first shrine that we entered was that of Sri Adhi Sankara with his 4 disciples namely Padmapada, Hastamalaka, Todakacharya and Sureshvaracharya. Before coming to Nepal.

Our Master visited Kanchi Kamakshi temple and when meditating beside the sarvagna peetam of Adi shankara our master heard a voice saying “Come and see me there”. All of us had the same thought when visiting Adi Sankara’s shrine in pashupatinath. The pujari said to our Master that padmapada was the most beautiful amongst the disciples. After sitting in meditation for some time there we proceeded toward pashupatinath and we were astonished to find so many and so many shivalingas all around. We could feel that nearly all of them were Samadhis of saints. Our master felt that we did not have enough time to communicate with each of them; so our Master touched each of them whilst relating to them from His “Source”. Then we visited the banks of the river Bagmati opposite the ghat where corpses were burnt.

It is a fact than when an enlightened master sets his feet on a place, the place transforms to gold. In the non-literal sense, it means that the place becomes devoid of negativities and becomes pure. Holy places and tirthas sometimes need the presence of an enlightened master as thousands of people leave their sins and become pure. Normally the place takes care of itself but at some point in time needs the presence of an enlightened master so that the divinity is refilled in the place.

We could find that the river was becoming pure and normally when a meditator stands near a dead body, he will find that his energy is sapped. Also around the cremation, the space is ominous, dark and sad. However, here the place had become completely divine due to the presence of our Master and unscathed by the presence of many dead bodies being burnt simultaneously.

When our master sat in the banks of the river, 3 ladies sat some steps away silently witnessing this. After our master left, the three ladies also departed without saying a word. Our master said that Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswathi should have come in their guise.

Then we headed towards Gorakhnath temple and Guhyeswari temple. On the way, when we were buying groundnuts a lady was smiling differently when we were calculating the cost of the groundnuts. Then she took us to an ancient Ram temple. Our master said that her quality was different and someone else was communicating through her.

Normally when divine spirits get attached to people they do not jump as if something had descended on them but there is a mild qualitative change which can be only sensed by evolved people who meditate for years together. The other ones who say that some God/Goddess has descended on them and jump and create hullabaloo are mere pretenders.

When we silently closed our eyes and receiving the energy from the temple, a huge bull came walking near us. A sanyasi was sleeping beside. We saw that the bull after coming near him came before Sri Ram and sat in front of Sri Ram putting its huge body down. This was also a divine intent.

On the way to Gorakhnath, the entire hill was full of samadhis. Gorakhnath temple was closed and we managed to find the pujari and open the temple. After observing a few minutes of silence with Gorakhnath, we visited the Samadhi of one of the priests of the temple. After closing our eyes and being in meditation for sometime, we visited Guhyeswari (one of the 51 shakthi peetams). The temple atmosphere indicated that at some point in time sacrifices of animals should have been done. We entered the sanctum sanctorum. A big fat lady gave a big wooden platform for our master to meditate. We sat in the temple silently for some time. The temple was very vibrant and powerful. Outside there were several lion statues and they appeared as if they were about to move. A person needs to be very brave if he was to venture alone in this temple during the night.

In the evening, we visited Patan, an ancient village in Katmandu . There was a square in the village full of temples. But, most of them was closed and people were chit-chatting. During the ancient days the place should have been very vibrant and divine, but since most of them were desolate there was only a slight indication of divinity.After that, we visited the living Goddess of Nepal. The visiting hours was only upto 7 pm but we went there only by 8 pm. The parents of the living Goddess did not allow us to see here but after several minutes of pleading we were allowed. On one hand we were surprised to see a small girl who was not comfortable due to the fact that several of us were noticing her; on the other hand we were thinking that Who is desined to get blessings from Whom. Indeed, the living Goddess should have been very blessed to receive the sight of our Master. Our master had intended to see her if she was carrying something from the lineage of living Goddesses and to bless her. He was so compassionate to knock the doors and bless her. Also, during the day we saw so many sadhus and swamis and found that none were evolved and they were merely wearing the garb of a sadhu.

At this point our Master told “Moving east to west, from north to south, I did not come across a soul worth looking at!!!”

15/09/2009 – Tuesday

From the moment our master arrived in Nepal, everyday he woke up the first thought that came to His mind was Tuesday. Our Master had pre-seen an indication that Tuesday is going to be an important day. However he did not convey to us beforehand.

Tuesday was a very special day indeed. It was ordained to be a meeting point for 2 masters.

We found our way to Nagarjuna hills where Osho Ashram was situated. Osho when speaking about temples, has stated that there are 2 versions of the same temple; One for the masses and other for the genuine seekers. 2 versions are created by saints, so that the divinity in the original version is preserved. Likewise, when Osho’s Samadhi is proclaimed to be in Pune; our Master found that his actual Samadhi is in Nagarjuna Hills in Nepal perfectly hidden and disguised. When we entered the Osho Tapoban in Nagarjuna hills, we got the entrance tickets and were moving within.

 Everywhere, we found many statements about death made by Osho attached to trees, as if confirming that it is indeed the Samadhi place of Osho. After walking a few distance we saw the dhyan mandir of Osho. Beside it, a marble statue of Osho was seated atop a cemented construction, with the construction resembling a Samadhi. Also we found a Buddha statue near to Osho’s statue. We could find that the space was shaking subtly around the marble statue of Osho. The statue was so alive that it was about to burst in to smiles.

Our Master closed His eyes and touched Osho’s feet for some time. It was a Buddha meeting another Buddha.

Later we touched Osho’s feet and felt energy coming in to us through our Hands and had the same experience as we would touch any other saint’s Samadhi. We all sat in meditation for nearly an hour in the adjacent meditation hall. All of us could feel Osho coming in his astral body and gently blessing us. His movement was very soft.

 We heard from our Master that the meeting between Osho and Himself was pre-planned by existence and that Osho was waiting for several years for this. Osho himself being an enlightened master has stated that “to come across an enlightened master is very rare”. Also, we heard from our Master that while communing with Osho at a point it so happened that there was no difference between our Master and Osho. At that time our master told that “This tapoban is our place”. Also one of the osho sannyasins told that the face of our Master looks so familiar to him and asked if he was coming to this tapoban for the first time. Our master said “Yes”. In several temples we had seen people saying that the face of our Master looks so familiar. When an enlightened person comes, somewhere deep in the unconscious the face of the person looks so familiar; it is like they seeing themselves in the mirror. The master is indeed a mirroring of pure consciousness.

Then we visited Osho’s so called Samadhi in the same premises and found the place to be dead like a museum. Our master told that “Osho is a notorious guy; He has hidden His Samadhi perfectly”. Then our master entered atop the Samadhi and told that “nothing wrong in stepping on His Samadhi; this guy has stamped so many people”. After that, we spent some time in the ashram and finally bid adieu to Osho. Our master corrected the statement which had made on the previous day “Moving east to west, from north to south, I finally came across a soul worth looking at but unfortunately He is not in his body”

More to come……
