Kundalini Gnanam, the path of perfection by the Siddhars of
South India gives the way for perfection for the human being.
The practice of the Kundalini Gnanam makes the man, one with
the truth. He attains perfection. The omnipresent, omnipotent,
omniscient nature of the almighty is shared with the aspirant. He
becomes one with the divine God.
Meditating on the life force of the body, he extends his
awareness, consciousness to the universal consciousness. By
steadily meditating he acquires the divine nature. He finds, feels
and meditates at the point where his life energy center is .He
attain Samadhi (oneness) at that communing point.
Direct intuitive knowledge of truth is known by him. He achieves
mastery from minute matter to infinity. He feels, enjoys the
oneness with the universal truth, the God.

Thayumanavar, a siddhar says,
"If he becomes that, that he becomes,
That itself will reveal".

When the aspirant becomes one with the universal
consciousness, all will be revealed by that as knowledge to him. He
is freed from boundaries of space, time and matter. He is freed of
his imprints and he becomes the Creator from being a creation.
The holy, divine practice is taught by siddhars of
the Holy Tradition. It can be learned, perceived only by a Holy
Godly Master (Gurudev). He teaches the aspirant, the knowledge,
which is being transferred by generations of Divine Order.

Thanks, to the great souls who teach the divine path to
perfection.

I thank my Gurudev, His Holiness Thanga Swamigal, for
transfusing his knowledge to the human community and below his
shelter we stand and practice.







KUNDALINI GNANAM: The Mystic Path Revealed


World Religions follow various paths to the
same source as all rivers moves towards the deep sea. They all teach
and preach the path to obtain oneness with the almighty. The
Scriptures describe four stages of development in the spiritual life.
They are, 1. Sariya
2. Kriya
3. Yoga
4. Gnana

Gnana is the stage at which the human race enjoys
experiences of oneness with the Almighty. Sariya, Kriya, and Yoga
are the three stages of development which leads to Gnana. Gnana is
the way for the eternal life of commune with the Almighty.

Sariya includes doing the works necessary for rituals,
cleaning the shrines, etc.

Kriya includes worshiping the Almighty by mind, by mantra,
performing rituals and ceremonies, etc.

Yoga is to join or to be together by various means of
Pranayama, Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga practices, etc. Duality exists
there.

Gnana is described as the true knowledge of God. The Gnani
(Perfected Aspirant) experiences oneness with the Almighty. He will
be in Eternal Bliss.

The benefits of Sariya are like buds, the benefits of Kriya
are like flowers. The benefits of Yoga are like Unripe Fruits. The
benefits of Gnana are like Ripened Fruits. The Great Siddhars have
described Gnana as ripened fruits and, it's the one that we want.

All the Gnana Scriptures proclaims the truth that "Gnana can be
perceived from a realised Guru ".




Importance of GURU:
GU means darkness, RU means dispeller. One who dispels your
darkness is the Guru. A Guru works in his presence and out of his
presence. Guru is certain energy, a certain space, not a person. The
relationship with Guru is neither physical, psychological nor
emotional. It is beyond these limitations. So this is one possible
relationship that you carry on beyond body and mind. An enduring
relationship would be very essential for a person embarking on
spiritual journey of evolving himself to his ultimate nature. Guru
clearly expounds all things.

Knowledge without analysis and conception, a well without
spring, judgment without enquiry can be said as equal to the results
achieved without a Guru. The Guru will be the one who has attained
self knowledge (The knowledge of the self will yield knowledge of
all things in the Universe)

When a spiritual aspirant needs growth in spiritual field,
he needs a little push in his energy levels. Without that little
push he cannot reach the peak. The Guru is like an energy
installation full of spiritual magnetic energy the disciple is like
a bulb, which draws and glows by that spiritual magnetic energy.

The Guru's deep and richer experience is far superior to all the
ways of improvement shown by any or all of the teachers. The Guru
would be the one who could make the aspirant a Gnani. So a person,
who desires to attain Gnanam, must learn, meditate, reflect and
realise at the feet of a Guru.

Spiritual Science behind Gnanam:
Our Solar system has sun and nine planets revolving around
it. They are of varied sizes. They move in their own orbit at their
own speed. They never collide with each other. In the universe,
countless stars, innumerable number of galaxies exists in such a
precise manner. The various attractive and repulsive forces are
responsible for these precise motions.

The universe consists of varied forces, energies like
attractive and repulsive forces between stars, gravitational forces
of planets, magnetic forces, atmospheric pressure forces,
immeasurable natural forces, electromagnetic field forces by which
all communications like radio, televisions, cell phones, satellite
links work ,moving sound pressure forces, light energies and various
atomic energies.

"All the planets create whirling wave and spreading wave.
The whole universe is whirling wave and spreading wave"

Magnetic force or energy exists all through the universe
pervading everywhere. This universal magnetic force is called as
Almighty or Paramathma or God by the Scriptures. This magnetic force
exists all through the universe. In human beings also this magnetic
force or energy exists. This bio magnetic force is called as
Jeevathma or soul or athma.

The merging of this biomagnetic force with the universal
magnetic force is termed as Samadhi or Perfection. The jeevathma or
soul merges with Paramathma or God as one. This commune is said as
Samadhi by the Scriptures. The Gnani at this stage experiences
ecstasy, bliss beyond words to explain.

"Not limited here and there, the Gnani experiences, oneness with the
omnipresent phenomenon God beyond duality."

At this stage the soul is in its eternal life. The fraction, soul
has reached its destination, the Totality, for which it has
journeyed for lives in search of this Perfection. This is the
eternal life, all the religions insist on as

"If anything desired, freedom from births should be desired"

This is the spiritual science behind Gnanam.

Kundalini Gnanam:
Ok, let's see how Kundalini Gnanam makes this eternal life possible.

First the aspirant is initiated by the Graceful touch of the
Gurudev. The aspirant feels the sensation of the biomagnetic force
in his body. He meditates by concentrating at this sensation. By
further practices and by the grace of the Gurudev his magnetic force
is increased. He gets the capability of producing biomagnetic force
by himself. The biomagnetic force is merged with the universal
magnetic force by the grace of the Gurudev. Now the aspirant gets
self realization. He dwells in eternal bliss.

For this process to occur there is the need of a highly
characterised spiritual magnetic force which is capable of making
the transformation. Such a person of self realization with highly
divine magnetic force is the Guru.
Kundalini Gnana Practices:
Now let us see about Kundalini Gnana Practices

For an aspirant to grow in Spiritual arena the dormant potential
force or energy (Kundalini Shakthi) in his Ground Chakra
(Mooladharam) has to be raised. The quantity and quality of the bio
magnetic force is proportional to the quality and quantity of the
sexual vital fluid.

Between the genital organ and the anus, just one inch above, there
is the region known basic root chakra or Mooladaram. This is the
place where the dormant Kundalini shakthi sleeps. When this shakthi
acts upwards, it will lead to soul consciousness, bliss and ecstasy.

Between the eyebrows, at the top of the nose, there is a small hole
which is one tenth of the size of the eye of the needle. This hole
is called the "Third eye". There is a small tissue covering this
hole.

By the gracious touch of the Gurudev, the Kundalini shakthi is
raised up through the small hole in the backbone. When this shakthi
is taken to the forehead by the touch of the Guru, combined with
subtle intelligence, the forehead eye will be opened. Now the
aspirant senses the life force as pressure exerted at that point.

The Gurudev after initiation begins to guide the disciple towards
wisdom both visibly and invisibly by thought, sight and touch.

The Gurudev, during initiation inducts the aspirant and
surrenders him to the Holy society of realised eternal souls. These
spiritual souls guide the aspirant all through his ways invisibly.
This link or connection with the divine beings guides the aspirant
all through his life guiding to wisdom.

This Holy society consists of the Gnanis, all around the
world who are one with the universal magnetic field. They are
helping the world for ages. The Holy Divine Community is called
as "Unseen Masters" and "Invisible Helpers" by the spiritual persons
of all countries, cultures and religions.
The Holy Gurudev first shows the magnetic force (life force)
in the aspirant's body. Then he by further practices starts to
reveal the subtle truth.

The bio magnetic force is improved by quantity and quality
by practice of the aspirant, group meditations and by the grace of
Gurudev.

By the practices the aspirant experiences `no mind" stage.
Knowledge and wisdom occupies the place of mind. Let's see how this
happens.
By meditating at the spot where the mind takes birth as
thoughts, mind gets stopped at the source. This spot lies in the
centre of the skull, a little above the inner tongue, between the
ears.

Physiologically it is identified as Pituitary gland. It is the
endocrine gland which controls both physically and mentally. So it
also called as `Master Gland". This is the native spot or the
primitive spot, from which the whole body was built or growth
started. Gnani meditates at this source point.

Siddhars have sung many songs praising this spot. Let us see what
occurs or happens by meditating at that spot.

By meditating at that spot, the aspirant transcends his mind. The
secrets of nature get revealed by itself in him. When he dwells at
that communing spot, he realizes, perceives his real self as a soul
(athma).The Inner Guru or his soul gets projected and he perceives
his real nature.

Seeing his soul nature, he identifies himself as a fraction
of the totality. By, the grace of Gurudev, he finds him everywhere.
His consciousness knows no bounds and he becomes one with the
omniscient Almighty.

By the grace of Gurudev, the identification of self and
universe is also transcended, just as like a person in deep sleep
leaves his hand held object to drop down. Thus the sense
of `I `ness or self gets transcended.

The aspirant is one with the universe. No duality exists in
perception. The knower, known and the knowledge are the same
consciousness. This is the state of infinite bliss.

This is called as "Nirvikalpa Samadhi". It is the commune of
the fraction with the totality. It is the merging of the universal
magnetism and bio magnetism. This is the goal all the religions
strive to achieve.
Ok, as the soul becomes one with the universal phenomenon,
how would be the end, the question arises about the freedom from
Birth.

In Kundalini Gnanam, life is not allowed to go out of the
body. The seed cells in the body never get damaged. Such person
stops the functions of the body after completion of his mission by
his own will. Gnani will fix his mind with the Almighty and stop
functioning. The body is then buried. That body will never decay
whether it is thousand or ten thousand years, because the magnetic
force in the body itself acts as life force in the body. This is
called "Jeeva Samadhi". As `unseen masters' or `invisible helpers'
they help, guide the human race to wisdom.

The place around such Jeeva Samadhi has very high spiritual
magnetic force. It can be sensed by the gnana aspirant. If these
places are maintained properly, they become energy banks supplying
the needful. In Tamilnadu there are lot numbers of Jeeva
Samadhis. The temples formed around these shrines have good magnetic
field.

For example,
1.) Jeeva Samadhi temple of Brahma Gnana Gurubhiran Sankara
Swamigal at Thiruchendur,
2.) Murugan temple at Palani, which has Jeeva Samadhi of
Great Siddhar Bhogar,
3.) Annamalaiyar temple at Thiruvannamalai, which has the
Jeeva Samadhi of Great Siddhar IdaiKadar.

It is visibly evident that more peoples turn to worship in
these shrines and they say that they could feel peace and their
prayers get fulfilled at these shrines.

Life lead by a Realised Aspirant:

The aspirant seeing everything animate and inanimate as the
manifestation of the divine, he realises that it is a fallacy that
God is invisible. This realisation fills his mind with the love for
his brother people of the world community. All the barriers of sex,
caste, creed, religion, nationality disappears in him.

The enlightened disciple lives a life formulated and followed by the
understanding of the spirit (soul) which dwells in every being. This
and this alone is the True Spiritual Life for which all the
religions strive for.
These spiritual souls (Gnanis) by the difference of
cultural, geographical, climatic, racial and social factors made a
system of harmonious and peaceful living, formulated on the
understanding of the existence and function of the magnetic force.

This moral behavior for the culmination of mind and soul, so
as to ensure better living for everyone in the society is termed as
Religion. That would be the way all religions would have been
created or evolved.

All are various paths to the single source.
