Dreamweaver Experience 2016

 

Lovingly dedicated to Yogiraj Satgurunath Siddhanath on his birthday, May 10, 2018
Humbly presented in an introduction

Note:
The Dreamweaver
 experience described in this article will be given by Yogiraj at these two upcoming retreats:

In September of 2016, while attending a retreat at Stony Point Center in the state of New York, I had a wonderful experience with Yogiraj Siddhanath called the “Dreamweaver.” This is given by Yogiraj at some of the extended retreats.

On the first evening of the retreat, Yogiraj explained that we may experience a dream, or we may not, but that he would be working on our chakras during the night to help us speed up our spiritual evolution. He had cautioned that we would get what we needed, not necessarily what we wanted. As instructed by Yogiraj, at 2 a.m. we came to the meditation building and meditated in front of Yogiraj’s picture to connect with him. Then we returned to our rooms. I had no expectations as I drifted off to sleep.

As I entered the dream state, I became aware that I was standing in the large grassy area beside the meditation building. I saw Yogiraj standing about 20 feet away from me dressed all in white and radiating this breathtakingly beautiful, “cottony” white light that appeared to have a texture and feel to it.  There was a white soccer ball in front of me on the grass and I kicked it to Yogiraj.  As the soccer ball reached him, it began to glow the same beautiful cottony white and was transformed into a ball made of light.  Yogiraj then kicked the ball of light to me, and I had to run a little to the side to intercept it.  As the ball touched my foot, a wondrous surge of light energy rushed up into my body to the top of my head.  But it wasn’t just light. It was filled with beautiful wordless truths about my journey in life.

There was so much information in the light, I haven’t even scratched the surface in decoding all of what was contained in it.  I felt as though I was in a euphoric state of higher knowingness, and even though I remember having realization after realization, I can’t tell you even one of them specifically since I can’t access them as I am right now.

After I ran to get the soccer ball and the light rushed into my body, I kicked the ball back to Yogiraj. This process repeated itself over and over. Sometimes I would have to run farther or faster to intercept the ball. Other times I would only have to move a few steps to access this wonderful light energy being given to me. Just like in all of our lives, there are days that are very challenging, and we have to run father for that ball. Then there are other days that are wonderful, where the ball comes right to us with little effort.

There were two messages from the experience with Yogiraj that resounded very deeply within me that I can put into words:

1. If you work at it, like running to get the ball, you will succeed in the game of life.

And in particular:

2. If you maintain effort with your Kriya practice, you will succeed in gaining this wisdom.

I remember thinking immediately after the Dreamweaver experience, when I was not yet fully awake, that the wordless truths from that soccer game encompassed not only my life but the connectivity of all life from the sub-atomic, to the gigantic.  I believe that the rest is for me to discover through Kriya Yoga under the guidance of Yogiraj Siddhanath.

If you haven’t been empowered into Kriya Yoga by this Master, please do yourself a favor and do so. It could end up being the most significant decision you make in this life.

 

Yogiraj Honored as Chief Guest at Sherwood College’s 149th Founder’s Day

By Arnab Datta –  Devotee, UK – 2018

“Mereat Quisque Palmam”. These Latin words meaning “Let each one merit his prize” adorn the gates of Sherwood College, a school nestled in the beautiful hills of Nainital in the northern regions of India. Founded in 1869, it has seen many illustrious people of India from the nation’s first Indian Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, the most recognized and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, and the foremost master in Kriya Yoga, our very own beloved master, Yogiraj Satgurunath Siddhanath.

Yogiraj was in the 1962 final year batch (class 12). He was a swimmer par excellence and was awarded a certificate of courage for his rescue efforts in a drowning incident. He was also an excellent gymnast, boxer, and bodybuilder in his school and college days. In many of his satsangs globally, Yogiraj often reminisces of the good old days in Sherwood and it had been a long-cherished wish to visit Sherwood.

This wish crystallized in a majestic way when Sherwood had the honor and privilege of inviting Yogiraj as the chief guest at this year’s 149th Founder’s ceremony. Beloved Guruma also accompanied him. The event started with skating, a swimming and diving show, exhibitions of various societies, a Horsman Wing (junior school) Production and the Middle School Production.

Yogiraj led a deeply spiritual and wonderful session with the parents in the chapel, where he spoke about his experiences and read a few of his poems, such as “Maya”.

The Batch of 1993 was also there to celebrate their 25th-year reunion.  They presented a bell for the Horsman Wing which was inaugurated by Yogiraj.

It was a brilliant event, showcasing the unbelievable levels of physical fitness, artistic talents, and creativity that the school promotes and encourages. No wonder it churns out such shining stars year after year, and it is undoubtedly true that the most luminous of those stars blessed the school with his presence this year.

 

 

Yoga Patanjal, an Experiential Revelation

By Jyoti Subramanian –  Devotee, India – 2018

Yogiraj’s birthday this month marked the birth of his new book, Yoga Patanjal. More than a scholarly rendition of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the book is an experiential revelation of Yogiraj’s realizations. Yoga Patanjal will be sold at Yogiraj’s 2018 World Tour events.

Very briefly in Yogiraj’s own words, “To facilitate your entry into the highest spheres with your satguru, I have taken considerable pain and effort to make available this gold-gilded pocketbook for you, as I love you. I am always there for you and even if you understand one verse in the book I will be happy, though all of you are capable of much more.”

The book was formally released post lunch on May 10th at the Siddhanath Forest Ashram in Pune after the disciples finished their morning Kriya Yoga practice session with Yogiraj. Present at the launch were Yogiraj’s mausi (meaning “like a mother”, a term used for one’s mother’s sister in India) and his sister, Durga. Yogiraj handed the first book to his aunt whom he referred to as his mother and then to his sister and Gurumata. The disciples received the book with all their blessings after that.

It is understood in the annals of Sanatan philosophy that the birth and manifestation of a satguru is the result of a collective yearning of humankind for the realization of the self and the divinity within. Satgurus of certain lineage come from time to time to guide, tweak and point the way towards speedier evolution for contemporary seekers. In short, according to Yogiraj, one deserves the guru one gets!

May 10th is the birthday of our Satguru Yogiraj Siddhanath who was born on this day in 1944. Disciples and sadhaks make their way to the Siddhanath Forest Ashram on this day to express their devotion and gratitude to him, who has shown them the way from ignorance to eternal truth, from darkness to light and from death to divinity. In a deeper and esoteric manner on this day the disciples are also born anew. So instead of “Happy birthday to you”, Yogiraj asked his disciples to sing “Happy birthday to me”, which they did very joyously, understanding their oneness with him.

The auspicious day started, as it usually does at the ashram, with the disciples making their way to the dining area and the morning satsang over breakfast and tea. Yogiraj at that time revealed that his book, Yoga Patanjal, was ready and would be available to the disciples later that day. He then went on to give a powerful message blessing his disciples and humanity in general with nuggets gleaned from this book.

The contemporary satguru brings to light ancient knowledge and wisdom which is still extant and pertinent in a language understandable to modern-day seekers. He cautioned seekers to concentrate on the living spirit rather than perusing the dead letter, an instruction that is very precious for the sincere spiritual aspirant.

Being in the presence of a householder satguru is an enchanting experience for the disciples and they got to see the simple and loving interchange of dialogue between him and Gurumata in the evening when she wore a sari presented to her by Yogiraj for this occasion. The happiness between them was palpable and spilled over to the disciples many of whom are enmeshed in the trammels of daily familial living. Disciples dressed in their finery for the evening of celebration. Gurumata began the arati, which is the waving of a lamp in devotion to the satguru. She then passed the lamp to other disciples.

The kids, of whom there were many, of course, had eyes only for the cake. The evening ended with sharing of prasad (blessed food) and dinner.

Earth Peace Through Self Peace

Every morning I am born anew. There is love in my heart, and wisdom is radiating from my mind. I bow to the in dwelling Spirit residing in all of us. That at the level of consciousness, humanity is one.  I am Spirit, I am Truth, I am Love Divine, this Body, Mind a Dream of Mine. The only purpose of man’s sojourn on this Earth is to seek God, all other things are secondary details.

This is pure spirituality.  If Earth Peace is to happen on Earth, let us realize that Humanity is our uniting Religion, Breath our uniting Prayer, and Consciousness our uniting  God.

Celebrate Earth Peace through Self Peace on International Yoga Day, 21st…

” Awaken to your rights!
Humanity is our uniting religion
Breath is our uniting prayer, and
Consciousness is our uniting God”

-Yogiraj Siddhanath

  • Serve Humanity as your Larger Self by meditating on the Peace within and radiating the same to the World without.
  • Use the way of the Peaceful Breath which flows equally in all as a means for attaining World Peace. Thereby, diffusing Individual and International conflicts.
  • By virtue of being a World Citizen, it is the inborn right of every Human Being to endeavor to attain the Consciousness of Natural Enlightenment for the Peace of all Humankind and exercise your Will-to-Good for making one another’s lives on this planet a celebration.
  • Your inalienable right lies in the furthering of Human Evolution for World Peace, leading to the realization that your expanded Consciousness and Humanity’s Consciousness is One!
  • As we evolve, we live less and less in our bodies and more and more in our Consciousness. Hence, Fusion of your Positive Awareness with that of Nature’s cultivates an improved and balanced Eco-System. Help to evolve Nature with your Nature, because Nature is the Nature of Man!
  • Allow yourself to heal and be healed of the negativity of your mind by letting go of the negative mind which covers the Splendor of Your Soul.

The Avadhoot Avatar Doctrine – Yogananda, Anandamayi Ma and Babaji

Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath World Tour Schedule: https://siddhanath.org/events/

The UNREAL Truth about Anandamayi Ma and Paramahansa Yogananda, the Kriya Yoga Master and founder of the Self Realization Fellowship, is a fascinating exploration into the spiritual legacies of these two remarkable figures. Much has been said about Yogananda after his passing, and this video seeks to address various posthumous discussions, offering a nuanced perspective from the vantage point of the Himalayan Kriya Yoga tradition.

Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath, a respected Kriya Yoga master himself, shares his profound personal experiences with Anandamayi Ma, the bliss-permeated mother. Anandamayi Ma is revered for her embodiment of divine joy and spiritual wisdom. In this video, Siddhanath describes his encounters with her, contextualizing them within the Avadhoot Avatar Doctrine. This doctrine is a profound system of spiritual knowledge that aims to delineate the proper spiritual hierarchy among divine beings.

At the summit of this spiritual hierarchy is Mahavatar Babaji, the divine visible-invisible savior. Babaji is recognized as the Mahayogi and Mahaguru, the supreme Yogiraj, who is often referred to as the Nameless One. Despite being beyond all names, Babaji is known by an array of evocative titles. These include the Non-Being Essentiality, the Is-ness of the Zero-Not-Zero, the Eternal Now, Shiv-Goraksha-Babaji, Gorakshanath, Gorakhnath, the Lightning Standing Still, the Lakulish of the Lilac Lagoon, and the Lightless Light which Lights That Light which Lights the Light of All Our Souls, among others.

This video delves into the depths of these titles and what they signify, offering viewers a glimpse into the profound and mystical world of these exalted spiritual figures. It provides a deeper understanding of Mahavatar Babaji’s role in the cosmic order, as well as the spiritual relationships and hierarchies that exist among divine beings. By presenting the insights and experiences of Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath, the video invites viewers to expand their awareness and appreciation of the intricate tapestry of spiritual truths that underpin the teachings of Anandamayi Ma and Paramahansa Yogananda. This exploration not only sheds light on their enduring legacies but also enhances our comprehension of the divine structure that governs the universe.

The Travels of Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath

Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath Travels to Europe and the USA to Teach World Peace Yoga

Himalayan Master Yogiraj Siddhanath brings a unique message of peace to audiences across the world with Kriya Yoga and a new world tour.

Yogiraj Siddhanath Speaks Peace at the United Nations
Earth Peace through Self Peace
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 10, 2015
For generations, many have sought to bring world peace to the planet. While peace has been cultivated in certain geographic regions, a global peace remains elusive. The concept of world peace seems to have become cliché.
Renowned teacher, author, and spiritual leader Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath, however, believes world peace is possible. Yogiraj thinks that it’s simply not pursued in an effective way. Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath has a unique view of world peace and he’s sharing this as a practice with audiences across the world, through his books and this international tour.
The Tour stops in over twelve cities along with three spectacular retreats. The first retreat is along the Pacific Ocean in Carlsbad, the second at the base of Mt Shasta, and the third retreat is in the Catskill Mountains, New York. More information is available on the Siddhanath.org website.
Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath taught the concept of world peace for more than five decades. In fact, peace is the topic on which he established his foundation as a teacher. At the core, his message is and has been one of “Earth peace through Self peace”. An idea that, by yogic breathing, meditation and self-reconciliation, a broader, global sense of camaraderie can be developed, what Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath calls world peace yoga.
Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath has brought this unique doctrine to audiences across the planet. Yogiraj has taught this message of peace at the esteemed United Nations, and at the same time amassed millions of views on his popular YouTube channel. Recently, the master’s views on Earth peace have been compiled and shared in a book, called Babaji: The Lightning Standing Still.
The book is, nominally, a newly revealed study of the ancient figure called Babaji, the progenitor of Yoga. The book includes insights into the ancient practice of kriya yoga given by Babaji, plus, Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath’s instructions on how Earth peace, through inner peace is manifested. It is a far-reaching work that Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath describes as the culmination of his life’s work. Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath is sharing the book with world audiences throughout the summer. The world tour begins in Pune, India, moves from Asia to Europe and then to the United States in July, August and September. The US visit will span from New York to California.
Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath’s visit will include multi-day teaching events and yoga retreats. At all of the tour stops, the author and teacher will expound upon the doctrine of “Earth peace through Self peace.” Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath says that while in the West, Yoga is often viewed as physical postures. In India, Yoga has long been the gateway to profound, inner peace. In his own words, “The alpha and omega of yoga is self realization” – in essence, the most lasting inner peace humanly possible..
For details about Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath’s tour and where to see him in-person, visit his website:https://siddhanath.org/events/ The website also offers books, poetry and videos as well as in-depth information about his life’s mission.

Yogiraj Siddhanath’s Contribution to the World Yogic Treasury

Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath
  1. SHIVAPAT– Sharing his Enlightened Consciousness of thoughtless awareness resulting in Spiritual Evolution which brings about a Unified Field of Consciousness amongst the people.
  2. SHAKTIPAT – Transmitting center to center in the disciple’s Chakras the Kundalini Energy which burns their negative karmas.
  3. PRANAPAT – Breathing His spiritual Prana (life force) through the breath of the disciples in their spinal cord flushing out all toxins & emotional stress.
  4. HAMSA – The Hamsa means the Swan and symbolizes the Soul. In meditation, Yogiraj has seen the Hamsa Swan symbolized in the lateral ventricles of his brain. These superconscious states of a Yogi  are clearly documented in his film “Wings to Freedom”. He bestows these states on deserving disciples who have practiced Kriya Yoga assiduously.
  5. BABAJI’S MYSTERY UNVEILED –  Yogiraj reveals that Shiva Goraksha, the Supreme Master of Yoga, and the Babaji mentioned in Yogananda’s Autobiography are one and the same person. This is clearly researched in his book “Babaji – The Lightning Standing Still”.

An Ocean of Divine Healing Energy at Carlsbad

It is not often that we are given the opportunity to participate in something that not only transforms us individually but also has the potential to create ripples of change throughout the world. This unique event combines the powerful energies of the sun and the ocean with the loving, healing presence of Yogiraj, creating a potent synergy that can unlock our inner light and connect us to the mysteries and love within and around us.

Testimonies from previous attendees of the Carlsbad retreats reveal that the energy levels are significantly amplified by the proximity of the Pacific Ocean. Many participants have experienced profound spiritual and emotional healings during these retreats, finding the oceanfront setting particularly conducive to heightened energy and transformation. Over the past few years, the Carlsbad retreat has become renowned for its remarkable ability to facilitate deep healing and personal growth.

This year, the oceanfront location in Carlsbad is poised to be the most powerful and emotionally moving event of Yogiraj’s tour. Participants will share an oceanfront meditation on the beach with Yogiraj, where his healing transmissions will focus specifically on the chakras, easing and clearing emotional suffering. In today’s world, marked by social disharmony and widespread anger, balancing and clearing our chakras is essential not only for our mental and emotional well-being but also for our spiritual growth.

Yogiraj’s healing energies will particularly target the second chakra, or Svadhisthana. When this chakra is unbalanced, it can lead to feelings of disconnection, emotional instability, heightened fears of change, blocked creativity, and depression. However, when Svadhisthana is in balance, we experience sensations of wellness, pleasure, gratitude, and joy, along with improved physical and emotional health. The elemental nature of the second chakra is water, making the oceanfront setting in Carlsbad ideal for this powerful healing work.

During this special meditation and transmission, Yogiraj will harness the elemental energy of the vast ocean, focusing this potent healing force on each participant. His personally tailored transmissions promise to be a transformative experience, offering a profound opportunity for true healing. This retreat is a chance to change your life’s focus and direction, to heal in the presence of a Master, and to experience a deep connection with the healing energies of nature and divine love.

Don’t miss this unparalleled opportunity to be part of an ocean of Divine Healing Energy at Carlsbad that can profoundly change your life and contribute to the collective healing of our world. Join us at Carlsbad for a retreat that promises to be an unforgettable journey into the depths of your own soul, guided by the loving energy of Yogiraj and the timeless, healing presence of the ocean.

Awaken in the Presence of a True Spiritual Master

The presence of a true ‪#‎master‬ can awaken the ‪#‎kundalini‬.
And then by the practice of ‪#‎Kriya_Yoga‬, it may ‪#‎ascend‬.

The Awakening of Kundalini through the Presence of a True Master: Yogiraj Siddhanath

The presence of a true master holds the power to ignite the dormant spiritual energy within us known as kundalini. This potent energy, often symbolized as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine, lies latent in most individuals. However, the presence of a realized master like Yogiraj Siddhanath can act as a catalyst, awakening this profound force and setting it on a path of ascension through the chakras.

Yogiraj Siddhanath, a revered Kriya Yoga master, embodies this rare ability to awaken kundalini. His mere presence emanates a transformative energy that can activate the kundalini within his disciples. This awakening is not merely a symbolic or metaphorical event but a tangible, often life-altering experience. Those who have had the privilege of being in Yogiraj Siddhanath’s presence often describe a profound shift in their energy, consciousness, and overall spiritual awareness.

Once awakened, the journey of kundalini is guided through the disciplined practice of Kriya Yoga. This ancient and sacred practice involves a series of techniques designed to purify the body and mind, facilitating the smooth ascension of kundalini through the energy centers or chakras. Kriya Yoga, as taught by Yogiraj Siddhanath, offers a structured and safe approach to this powerful process. It harmonizes breath control, meditation, and specific postures to create a conducive environment for spiritual growth.

The ascension of kundalini through the chakras brings about profound transformations. It purifies the nadis (energy channels), balances the chakras, and expands consciousness, leading to higher states of awareness and ultimately, self-realization. Practitioners often report enhanced mental clarity, emotional stability, and a deep sense of inner peace. The ultimate goal is to achieve a state of union with the divine, realizing the interconnectedness of all life.

Yogiraj Siddhanath’s role as a true master goes beyond merely teaching techniques; he provides the spiritual transmission that awakens and guides the kundalini. His teachings and presence offer a unique and precious opportunity for sincere seekers to embark on this transformative journey. Through the combined power of Yogiraj’s presence and the disciplined practice of Kriya Yoga, the path to spiritual enlightenment and the ascension of kundalini becomes a tangible reality.
