Sri Yukteswar and the Yugas

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Enjoy Brother Steve. _^_

I may go back to practicing Gurunaths sun bathing Kriya exercises. But one day I would love when we finally meet to learn the kriya techniques you practice.

Eric; I do not know of Gurunaths sun bathing Kriya exercises. I would think he practices and teaches the same techniques I practice if he was with Babaji. They are talked of here in this video where the information has come from one of Yogananda’s lectures. The technique itself is taught in the Kriya lesson’s following one year of the Self Realization Fellowship lessons where other meditation techniques are taught. Those are; the energization exercises, the Hang Sau technique and the Om technique.

My suggestion on this matter is to learn them undiluted from a reliable source and get needed advice from the Self Realization Fellowship. I am not a teacher of such elevated techniques. I am a student of Kriya and other meditation and spiritual lessons I acquired from the Self Realization Fellowship.

I thought you might find this of interest; after posting this entry I looked at the time it was exactly 11:11

Thanks Steve! Great video, it kind of reminds me of the truths in the recent thread Christ & The Spine. Wherein it elaborates the importance of the spine and experiencing expanded consciousness.

Well, here's the Surya Yoga. Which, if I understand correctly, is a type of Kriya- considering the breathing techniques and mudras, and this too was passed along by Babaji.

Thank you thisbody.

If you want to know my personal attitudes, I have not accepted either as "My master."

I am not a traditionalist either, which may annoy those who choose the path of disciple and practice structured disciplines.

I believe they(these Masters and Gurus) are still of use and offer a great service. We are all belonging to God, and God will use us as he sees fit. We are not perfect, and whatever we liken another- such is our fate(if but for a moment, and usually only in the eyes of the beholder).

I really appreciate you sharing these things... Because it seems once again all these folks lead back to Hariharananda... And all lead back to God.

I have a personal affinity for Andamayi Ma. My attitude towards Gurunath and Swami Vidyadhishananda is this... They are both resourceful- Gurunath is a bit more radical and bold in his claims. Swami V is more intellect based and revered for his ability to retain and express vedic knowledge.

My personal experience has directed me to Sufism and The Peacock Angel. If I have a Guru, he initiated me in 2008 on the dream level. He is not Gurunath, he is not Swami V... But my life has lead me to these people to help me understand something Greater on a intimate level. Sufism teaches us to respect all sincere forms of worship.

The only sin is when one is not conscious of God.

I would add even those who have performed what we come to call miracles, are still Gods children who have had their own struggles. God is so compassionate, and we are usually the ones beating ourselves up for not adhering to someone else's ideas of perfection. But it seems each of these people have helped others get in touch with something in themselves.

I just bumped a thread about the peacock angel, it's funny that Steves replies there could provide additional commentary to your post here. Hope you get to view that thread.

I bet not too many around here are in the knowing of this:

"Sat Guru Siddhanath" was a lawyer with a family, and he left them. On top, he learned Kriya yoga from Swami Hariharananda Giri (and not as claimed from Babaji). The yoga he is teaching seems way more hatha than kriya, etc. - A real hoot, isn't it?

"Swami" Vidyadishananda, another former disciple and monk initiated by Hariharananda fell from grace - and off the Hariharananda-camp, as he couldn't help being lured into sexual intimacy with a married American woman... - indeed, Baba Hariharananda said afterwards that, "He had no chance!"

Those things aren't publicly known, I know.

And those people (there are many more) may still be able (not capable), to help one on their spiritual path.

As the saying goes - "If the disciple's heart is sincere, the master may be flawed. As long as the disciple follows the teaching, the disciple may still get liberated."

I’m attempting to see the relationship of this post to the thread entitled; Sri Yukteswar and the Yugas. Could you help me understand here thisbody? Should we start a new thread on Baba Hariharananda? I am happy for you that you have found what appears to be your spiritual path this life. And we are blessed to have the wisdom of such spiritually powerful souls you have brought to our attention. Perhaps you are telling us that they also have come with a elevated Kriya technique in this the Dwapara yuga. Which now seems somewhat more common, as we move into a higher age…. As well as others that continue to rise in soul awareness while at the same time attempting to rise above maya.

If you are also interested in discussing two or more types of Kriya we can also dedicate a thread to it. This site is dedicated to understanding all kinds of meditation and while we attempt to not disparage other paths, I see nothing wrong with bringing up different types of Kriya and spiritual practices in a thread about
it under for instance ; Masters and Saints or Kriya Yoga.

thisbody thanks for your response. We have a section on this site for ‘members only’ where issues such as things ‘jumping before your eyes’ as you put it are discussed. Please read it and we would appreciate any of your comments about such occurrences which are discussed there. Suffice it to say here, that in the past when you were not here, Eric (tides2dust) and I have had some unusual occasions where it is possible that individual(s) have been involved with this site that are no longer on the physical plane. Or may be communicating from another level or dimension.

I am not familiar with the names of some of the people you have mentioned in the quote below, and recently. Perhaps I will get more acquainted with you and the spiritual influences you have listed as I get to know you, at present I’m unable to comment on the people or understand what you have mentioned below.

I am able to comment on the “bold claims of Babaji” as you have asserted. Babaji is the originator of the Kriya that I have been practicing most my life. Babaji does not need any ‘bold claims’ to be made for me or anyone else to parrot. I already know his blessings. No doubt you also find the same blessings that you have experienced from Kriya yoga, and the Masters you have chosen to follow. I am happy for you and the path you have chosen.

The before-gone post by tides2dust features a video with that Siddhanath and re-parrots some of his bold claims, referencing Babaji.

There's the connection, Steve. No more, no less.

The other guy "Fietsendief" (Vidyadish, as he was called by fellow ashram residents in Miami) was mentioned several times in another thread. ...no need for me to create any new threads when things you guys post jump in my eyes and I think I can relate a little information to your postings. All right?

*Peace & Love*

[guest587]

Seriously,

Don't worry about the direction of the thread... It's going to happen. I have a thread dedicated to Mark Hyman and we end up talking about Sun Gazing as a type of nutrition for the soul.

We aren't a large community, and it's okay if conversations drift. The author of the thread can always try to redirect his or her efforts back to the OT.

I appreciate your insights.

I have learned a lot through these Gurus with questionable background.

What's the expression about saints being sinners?

Thanks.

Hi Steve, thank you for this answer.
I have now (again) read the latest posts in the members-only section. I agree with most everything that has been written there (as far as I have read).

As for my previous two posts in this thread, I was only trying to raise some awareness that some self-styled "Masters" are around. The example and "bold claims" of one were, that he learned Kriya (and other meditation techniques) from Babaji personally. It is why I made it a point in telling, he was initiated by Baba Hariharananda which is nowhere to be found in his public bio. Instead, we find he styles himself as a mysterious yogi from the Himalayas, etc. etc. ...
Again writing this, just to clear up some misunderstanding, Steve.

All this I find of interest, but I must tell you I was trained and initiated by Paramahansa Yogananda, still I also received Amma’s IAM technique. Isn’t it possible to do both? Have you read the Autobiography. Yogananda was involved with other groups before finding Sri Yukteswar.

[guest587]

I was listening to an interesting interview because Melchizedek was mentioned and I was curious about the mans experience with this being. I was surprised to find the host mention the holy science and Sri Yukteswar.

He doesn't spend much time on it other than sharing his belief that the precision of equinox is every 24,000 years.

Not sure if this is the right place or how relevant other than this noticing but I am sharing the video here, and it's at the right time stamp so if you hit play and listen he will explain it briefly.

Over 6,000 years ago, a mysterious civilization had detailed maps of our solar system. The Sumerians created these drawings using clay. The surviving drawings show that they understood that the sun is a star at the center of the solar system and that other planets revolve around it. They even accurately sketched the orbits and positions of the planets.

Interestingly, some of their paintings also depict strange images with giant entities. The Sumerians considered them to be deities. Intriguingly, some of the drawings of these gods even display symbols resembling human DNA sequences. Additionally, they had symbols related to medicine, which bear significant resemblance to modern medical symbols. To this day, we still cannot understand how thousands of years ago, the oldest civilization of mankind had such profound knowledge of astronomy.

This raises the question of whether this ancient civilization was not backward, but rather had advanced far beyond our current understanding of them.

The Sumerian city of Uruk was the oldest inhabited civilized city in the world, between 6000 and 4000 BC. Writing was first used here and spread throughout the world. The name Iraq is derived from it, and the first literary epic in history, the famous Epic of Gilgamesh, was also written here. The first poultry was domesticated here, and with the establishment of the irrigation system, the first agriculture began here.

The question that I have; was this the first or rather the end of an even greater civilization prior to this?

When the end of the Golden Age had come and the Anunaki closed their gold mines and left planet Earth.. their small statured work forces would be released into the world. ⚒️
  At the Abzu mines of South Africa.. King Nofret would take his tribe North to the land of the Pharoahs. Impressed with his knowledge and seeing the fruits of Dwarven culture.. the Pharaoh invited all of Nofret's tribe to live under his protection and hospitality. 🌴
  Here the Dwarfs were free to pursue the arts of craftsmanship, and experimenting with new  materials.. and they discovered Copper. And, when scouting the lands of central Europe, they discover Tin. When mixed with Copper it creates a metal harder than any other and makes some of the best tools and weapons. ⚔️
  These tools would bring a new precision to their work and craftsmanship.. giving rise to a whole new era.. The Bronze Age. ✨️

Alcyone
January 1858 Issue
The Sciences
M. Maedler, the author of the recent investigations with reference to the central sun, has long been known to the astronomical world as the successor of M. Struve in the direction of the observatory at Dorpat. His computations of the orbital movements of the double stars have given to him a deservedly high celebrity; and the great theory which he has propounded is only given to the world after a long and patient examination, extending through many years. Assuming Alcyone as the great center of the millions of starscomposingour astral system, and the direction of the sun's motion, as determined by Argelander and Struve, he investigates these consequent movements of all the stars in every quarter of the heavens. Just where the swiftest motions should be found, there they actually exist, which demonstrates either the truth of the theory, or exhibits the most remarkable and incredible coincidences. After a profound examination, Maedler reaches the conclusion, that Alcyone, the principal star in the group Pleiades, now occupies the center of gravity, and is at present the sun about which the universe of stars composing our astral system are all revolving.

I liked the reference to the historical article on Alcyione in the link.
