It was a Guru Poornima day. It was a very significant day for me in a spiritual way. Some years ago, on this Vyasa Pooja day, I was sitting in Padmaasana, and was preparing for my regular meditation. I have been taught about the spiritual process by our Guruji, Dhyani Mharaj Madhusudhan Dasji. As usual I could feel the vibrations in the form of some tinkling at the bottom of my spine, which is called “Mooladhara Chakra”. I do not wish to go into the technicalities of Yoga lessons. The tinkling started moving up. This was a regular phenomenon for me. It indicates the ascending of “Kundalini” upwards. When the kundalini rises to the level of our heart, I used to loose my body-consciousness. There could be no time sense. The blissful feelings which it is impossible to put in words, seems to have lasted a few seconds. But when we come back, it would have been more than an hour or so. But on this particular day, the kundalini seemed to rise further and further. There was feeling of immense joy and pleasure as if intoxicated, as if some thing pleasantly cool, pouring over my head. The ecstatic moments sped fast. Then I felt I was climbing up a small vertical tunnel, and found it extremely painful to get out of it. Struggling as I was, I cried out to my Gurudev to save me. I could feel that I was able get out. It was at that point I could hear a sweet vice, calling out: “Hey, do not worry. You are not alone. I am here with you. Bangaru, hold my hands, and come out”. As I clasped into the hands, I looked up. I saw Bhagavan Baba smiling at me! Swami pulled me out, and I felt very much relieved. Baba, ever charming and smiling, pointed His hands downward, and said, “See there!” Far below, I could see my own body still sitting in the Padmaasana. The head leaning down, and cheek stuck firmly stuck on the chest, and without showing any signs of life in it. For a second, I was frightened, and looked up to Swami. Still bestowing the charming smile, Swami uttered, “Don’t worry. I shall make you realize in a little while.” I did not know whether I am still having a body or not. I was not bothered. I felt confident in the company of our Lord. Outside, it looked hundred times brighter than the sunrays, and yet a pleasant cooling effect. It was so bright and yet suitable for full viewing. Multi coloured lights and rays adored the horizon. “Come my dear one, I shall take you around! Hold on to Me”. So saying Swami swung into moving. It was not walking but just floating. And floating at a terrific speed! We were moving through various terrains, mountains, green meadows and across large oceans. In one of the Hills, swami pointed to me several saints sitting in the same posture like me. Some of the saints, I could recognize. They were the ones whom I had the fortune of having darshan on the first day, when I was initiated by my Guruji. Swami then clarified many of my doubts. My first query, “Swami is this the real death?”. Swami: “Not really. But, the out of body experience, is same on both levels. You might have by now realized that you were separate, and your body is separate. The body is only a vessel for the soul for traversing. In the event of death, once you had to quit the body, there is no way of going back. Your samskarams and karma, form the core of your identity, which is called sooshma sareeram. Based on your karma and vaasana, your sooshma sareeram searches for a body, and the god guides you to such a location. All your karmic fruits and vaasanas are inborn there and make the start all over again. A successful saint who had been liberated from all karmic bonds, joins the Lord, after quitting the body. The duality of Body and self can still be experienced by you. There in the lower level, you had the body consciousness and then the soul which now stands out of your body, and is with me. Here again the duality. You & Me.!! When you are truly liberated, the feeling of you and me, also vanishes, and the merger takes place. After the merger there is no more dual feeling and no more birth. I shall gradually explain to you the intricacies of the movements of the soul, which you cannot fully, understand at this juncture. You are really very ripe for the next stage of evolution……” With Love & Regards, Mumbai Srinivasan.
